Kevin was not idle during this time, he had been brewing a magic, but it was the first time he experienced a naval battle, and his estimate of the degree of the pirate ship was a little off, and the time for magic preparation was a little late. Otto was in front of Kevin's side to protect him from being hit by arrows and cannonballs that would interrupt his casting.
When the distance between the two ships was less than 1oo meters, suddenly a spot in the sky suddenly lit up, and then with that point as the center, countless meteorites burst out in a radial shape and smashed down towards the pirate ship below. Level 6 flame magic, meteor shower. Kevin's magic is finally ready, and it's such a big move as soon as he gets started.
The pirate ship was hit by a series of meteorites, and immediately exploded and caught fire, and most of the ship was caught in flames, and the pirates suffered heavy casualties. Some of the calmer pirates tried to gather fire to kill Kevin, but neither the arrows nor the shells were blocked by Otto's shield, and they couldn't break through his defenses.
"Costner, well done, sink their ship!" Exclaimed Phyllis excitedly.
Darko frowned, when he and Kevin were in the Warcraft Mountains more than two years ago, Kevin used this magic on Vitk4, because Darko used mental power sharing to help control the meteor shower, and he also remembered this magic deeply. Compared to that time, meteor showers are much weaker in number and power. If it had been a meteor shower like that back then, the pirate ship would have sunk long ago. Immediately, Darko suddenly realized that on the sea surface where the water element was abundant in the Venus plane, there were very few fire elements and earth elements, and the fire magic was naturally greatly affected.
Kevin asked dissatisfied, "Why didn't they run away when they knew we had high-ranking lawyers?"
Otto fended off arrows and cannonballs as he explained, "The pirates are a bunch of outlaws, who may be spending a lot of money today, and will be buried in the belly of the fish tomorrow, so naturally they are not afraid of anything, and besides, it is not so easy to destroy them in the sea." ”
Kevin's brow furrowed, as if he was not happy with the result, and his flame magic was indeed not suitable for casting spells at sea. He had fought countless battles in the training arena, and he had always had the upper hand in one-on-one battles, but he had never faced such large-scale battles.
After a round of meteor showers, the pirate ship has approached a very close distance, and the pirates are eager to try it when they see that it is about to approach.
"Can't let them get close!" Exclaimed Phyllis, although they had two warriors on their side, Otto and Aciba, but it was only these two people, and it was still unknown how little combat power Asiba could wield in seasickness all day. The combat effectiveness of the other sailors is much worse than that of the pirates, not to mention the three of them, there is no open terrain in a place like the ship, it is difficult for the mage to maintain a distance advantage, and the mage will become the target of the opponent at the beginning of the hand-to-side battle.
As soon as Phyllis's voice fell, Darko's magic was complete, and a large expanse of sea water froze into sea ice between the two ships, and soon came into contact with the hull. The pirate ship was still smashing the ice and kept approaching, but the ice was not only expanding, but also thickening. When the two ships were only a dozen meters apart at the closest point, the pirate ship finally came to a complete standstill, and it had become one with the Sunfish through the ice.
When Darko saw the pirate ship approaching a certain distance, he played out the amount of advance and began to prepare to cast the spell, and he now only needed less than 7 seconds to complete the fifth-level freezing technique, which made it easier to deal with various emergencies in time. Cryophila is theoretically capable of freezing anything, just like in the Undead Hell Benjamin was able to freeze the bodies of undead creatures directly, Darko now just freezes seawater for better results.
Seeing that the pirate ship had stopped, the sailors on the sunfish immediately seized the opportunity to start firing guns, the sunfish was much higher than the pirate ship, and the height of the window of the gun bay was just facing the deck of the pirate ship, and at this moment, the 8 guns on the left side of the ship fired at the same time, and the distance was so close, the pirates on the deck had no time to dodge, and they were immediately killed and wounded.
"Come out of all the magicians!!" Caladis cried, jumping to his feet to dodge a cannonball rolling against the deck, and in a fit of rage, he leaned out of the side of the ship and drew his bow and arrows. A fiery red glow quickly coalesced from his bow, and as soon as the string loosened, the arrows flew toward the ice below.
A large circular crater was blown out of the ice, and the sea water at the bottom of the pit continued to pour up, and the crater was even more cobweb-like radiating to the surrounding area, and it was close to the edge of shattering. Moreover, the two high-level magicians and the five middle-level magicians on the pirate ship also began to chant spells, preparing to cast spells to attack the sea ice below.
At that moment, there was a loud roar, and a seagull flew right over the Sunfish, and was stunned by the roar and fell on the deck. And the magic that several magicians on the pirate ship were about to complete were all interrupted at once, and even an intermediate magician fainted directly because of the magic disorder in his body.
Otto was also excited when he looked at the situation on the other side, this was the first time he had used the Thunder Glyph function, and it was very successful, and his confidence in the new skill was immediately boosted. The success of this experiment also came from the cooperation of the opposing mage, who cast spells at the same time under Caladi's orders, and did not hold the spell too quickly, so that Otto interrupted all five mages of the other party at once.
Seeing this, Caladi's face turned pale, and in his rage, he pulled his bow and arrow into a full moon and fired an arrow at one of the sunfish's gun bays. Although he was angry, Calade was not too close to miss, and the arrow went straight into the cannon bay through the gap above the muzzle. There was a muffled thud on the ground, and a flash of fire appeared in the gun compartment, which had been replaced by a large ball of flames, and the cannon and sailors flew out with fire inside. Even the two gun compartments next to it were also affected, the artillery was tilted to the side, and the sailors who operated the guns were probably more than lucky. The pirates immediately burst into cheers, but Calradi was already out of breath after shooting this arrow, and shooting two of these magic arrows in a row was also a great burden for him.
"The two ends of the rat, but the way to death. Otto was not deterred by the arrow, but shook his head and evaluated the opponent's tactics. In his opinion, if Calade had attacked the Sunfish's guns at the beginning, these two arrows would have rendered six guns incapacitated, and could greatly reduce the casualties in the broadside battles behind. If both of Calade's arrows were fired at the ice below, then at such a close distance, Darko would not have time to cast the spell again and the two ships would come together, naturally achieving the original purpose of the pirates. However, Caladic shot an arrow at the ice surface and an arrow at the gun bay, which is equivalent to a dual-purpose division of force, and neither side can be completely solved, which is a big mistake. The whole battle is made up of these details, and every mistake can cause the scales to swing.
At this time, the two ships were extremely close, and the sailors on the deck of the Sunfish were all suppressed by the pirate archers, and the two lookouts on the pirate ship had archers, who condescendingly shot many sailors on the Sunfish. Phyllis had already summoned two undead knights, and the undead knights were tall and large, and even men and horses stood in front of the three of them, covering them tightly. The pirate archers didn't know that it was an undead creature, and thought it was a strong man on the Sunfish, so they started a round of intensive shooting. As a result, the undead knight was covered with arrows in front of him, and his armor was full of tail feathers, but he still moved freely, much to the surprise of the pirates. The key to the undead is the skull, because the soul is located in the skull, otherwise it will not lose its combat effectiveness even if it is full of arrows. But the pirates obviously don't understand this, and even if they do, there's nothing they can do.
Otto also noticed the archers on the two lookouts of the pirate ship, and just as a cannonball was fired, he saw the right moment and rushed forward with his shield, and the cannonball collided with the shield with a clangling sound. The cannonball bounced back in reverse, and it smashed into the pirate ship's mast, which immediately swayed violently with sawdust. Although the cannonball was not as big as the stone projectile, the mast of the pirate ship was already thinner, and Otto was aiming at the thinner position above, so he rebounded from his shield one after another, and after three cannonballs, the mainmast of the pirate ship collapsed on the deck like a tree that had been cut down, and the archers on it were also smashed into pulp. Before the pirates could be shocked, the mast was quickly broken, and Otto broke the mast with a shield rebound cannonball, which showed his reflexes and anticipation.
Caladi's face turned pale, he didn't expect that there were two magicians and a shield warrior on the other side, and they were obviously of a higher rank than him, if he had known this, he would never provoke this ship. But now that both ships were frozen together, it was too late to retreat, and his pirates had suffered a small number of casualties, and he himself could no longer shoot powerful arrows. Calady gritted his teeth and ran to a magic crossbow machine and pushed away the pirates on it, which was already the only large alchemical machine on the ship that was intact, and the others had been smashed by the meteor shower.
Calade took off the top hat from his head, reached in and pulled out a thick, long, three-edged arrow, the head of which was made of black iron and had rows of barbs, which looked very hideous. The tail of the arrow was attached to a strong rope, and in this way Caladi was pulled out of the top hat in a steady stream, and there seemed to be no end to it.
Carradi quickly loaded the arrows on the ballista, and together with the other two pirates, he manipulated the crossbow machine to shoot the arrows, and the long rope was carried behind and flew towards the Sunfish. The arrow shot accurately into the gun bay on the Sunfish, which had just been blown out, and shot through a layer of wall panels inside, holding it firmly in place.
Carradi pulled the rope hard, and wrapped this end around the pirate ship's mast a few more times, and then shouted, "Give it to me, chop up these grandchildren!"
As soon as the pirates shouted, they easily climbed the rope and slid into the Sunfish's cabin, where the gun bay had no sailors to defend because it had just been bombed, so the pirates easily boarded the Sunfish. The three guns on the port side were ineffective, and the remaining five guns were still bombarding the pirate ship, but soon the sailors in the gun bay were killed by the pirates who attacked them, and they were completely dumbfounded.
Phyllis had summoned a large number of undead creatures, including three lichs, and Phyllis waved her hand at the two undead knights, who together with the three lichs, entered the cabin with a large number of low-level undead. Low-level undead cannot distinguish between sailors and pirates, and require the command of undead knights and lichs.
Without the cover of the undead knight, Darko and the others were exposed to a rain of arrows again, but Darko quickly cast a spell of frost armor on the three of them. Under the effect of the frost armor glyph, the frost armor has stronger defense and is more durable, and ordinary arrows will only leave a shallow trace on it. Aciba, who had no magical talent, sensed the difference, and clenched his fist against the frost armor with a clattering sound. It immediately thought it could do it again, roared excitedly, took out a bottle of madness and poured it into its mouth, and rushed directly past the undead into the cabin. The kind of fighting across the sea was what Aciba hated the most, but now that the other party's pirates have taken the initiative, it can finally vent its previous resentment.
Aciba made his way into the cabin, but it soon had a problem, it got lost. Due to seasickness, it was always on deck, and the structure in the cabin was not familiar at all. Now Acebaco was in trouble, it went back and forth a few times, but it couldn't find its way to the gun bay.
Fortunately, at this time, Asiba heard the shouts of battle, it was the pirates and the sailors who fought, Asiba followed the sound all the way to find it, and sure enough, he soon saw several pirates. Several of them were fighting with sailors, and others were rummaging through the cabins looking for something of value. Aciba roared directly, rushed over and punched several pirates' heads directly. After Asiba became a boxer, he already had the strength equivalent to that of a Terran swordsman, plus Dakko and other six people armed him, even if he fought with the swordsman, he would not suffer, and dealing with these little pirates was like slaughter.
There were also pirates in the other passages in the cabin, and they soon noticed that there were a large number of undead creatures around them, and they were crowding the passages with a lot of landing. Although most of them are low-level undead creatures, and their combat power is similar to that of pirates, they have no vital points, and all the joints of their limbs are shattered before they lose their combat effectiveness. The pirates often had to suffer heavy casualties to kill the same number of skeleton warriors, but they soon became surrounded by dead creatures, so the undead and the already dead pirates stood up together and began to attack the living pirates.
On the deck, Kevin had another magic ready, and a meteorite the size of a ship fell from the sky. The trail spreads out like ripples, and then forms a white trail behind the meteorite, which is a ripple of air caused by the high temperature.
Sixth-level flame magic, starfall magic.
Kevin directly controlled the meteorite to drill through the hole blasted out of the meteor shower in front of him this time, and caused a violent explosion in the hull of the ship, and the sound of the explosion sounded from the inside out, still deafening. With flying wood chips, the pirate ship finally began to capsize. Even if the power of the flame magic in the ocean was affected, the explosion inside was enough to blast through the bottom of the pirate ship. After the bottom was flooded, the pirates could no longer maintain their offensive against the Sunfish, and they began to scramble to drain and plug the leak.
At this point, the balance of victory finally tipped in favor of the Sunfish.
