seagull

Calade looked at the battlefield with an unnatural expression, and now that his men had gone over to the Sunfish, there was no news, and the people on the pirate ship's side were all killed and wounded, and the remaining dozens of people were desperately draining the water, barely keeping the ship unsinkable. The uneasiness in Carade's heart grew stronger, and he stomped his foot hard and ran towards the side of the ship. He knew that he had already lost the battle, that the bottom of the ship was sunk, and that it was only a matter of time before the ship sank.

Calady ran to a lifeboat and cut the rope that hung the lifeboat, which fell into the sea. Due to the sinking of the pirate ship, the deck was only a few meters above the sea, and the lifeboat was falling right below, shaking a little to become smooth. This is not a lifeboat chosen by Calade at random, this one is actually specially made, extremely fast in a short time, and it is a necessary weapon for defeat and escape.

Carradi reluctantly glanced back at his ship, and finally turned his head ruthlessly, the ship was no longer there to rebuild, and his subordinates were no longer able to recruit again, but if he died, there was really nothing. Just as Caladdy was about to jump into the lifeboat, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he looked down at the crossbow bolt that had come out of his chest in disbelief, trying to look back, but before he could turn around, he plunged headlong into the sea.

On the Sunfish, Falk is operating a magic crossbow machine, and it is he who shoots Calady with a crossbow arrow. It was his first killing, but there was no panic on his face, only composure and a little excitement. The magic crossbow machine was originally operated by four sailors, one to load the arrow, one to aim, one to twist the spring, and one to command. But the sailors who originally operated the crossbow machine were all dead and wounded, and Fokker searched for a circle but could not find a sailor who could help, so he had to operate it alone. This requires a great deal of skill, and if you take a slow time, the spring will shoot the arrow before you can take aim. Fokker had never operated a crossbow machine before, he had only seen the test firing of a crossbow machine on other ships when he was playing in the docks, and he memorized every step of the way, but he did not expect that the first operation could be so successful.

The killing in the cabin continued, and Ashiba would be the first to hear a fight, and the battle would soon be over when he joined. The space in the cabin was limited, and it was difficult to use either the magic of the lich or the long weapon of the undead knight, and Ashiba became the most powerful fighter in the actual battle. When the last pirate's head was also blown off by Aciba's fists, the pirate ship had completely sunk to the bottom of the sea, and this time the naval battle finally came to an end.

After receiving the information that the enemy had been completely destroyed, Phyllis sat directly on the deck, although she had experienced many stronger opponents in the past, but naval battles were completely different from ground battles, and she was not able to use them at all, which made her very unhappy.

Otto and Kevin also came over to meet up with Phyllis and Darko, and confirmed that several people were not injured, and Otto was about to start counting the casualties of the sailors, he went to the observation deck next to him, and turned on the amplification magic array on it, "First mate, please come to the bridge for a while." ”

After waiting for a while, but not hearing an answer, I looked around before the first mate fell on the deck, and the place where the head was turned into a cannonball, and below was a mixture of brains and blood. Otto had no choice but to continue shouting, "Second mate!"

The second mate hurriedly ran over to the position of the steering wheel, "Do you have any orders?" ”

"Hurry up and treat the wounded, repair the damaged parts of the boat, and we'll get the boat up. After Otto explained, he turned to Phyllis and said, "I'm afraid there will be a lot of casualties this time, so we need to be prepared." ”

The second mate screamed in amplification magic, and soon the surviving sailors were gathered on deck, and these sailors were quickly dispatched to search for the injured sailors in the ship. Half an hour later, the casualty figures came out, and there were 135 sailors on board, 28 killed, 37 seriously wounded, and 6o lightly wounded.

Phyllis and the others all looked solemn when they saw such casualties, and Phyllis crossed her fingers and said, "More than half of the total number of dead and seriously injured people is here, so even driving the ship is a problem, what should we do?"

Otto thought for a moment and asked, "What about the damage to the ship?"

The second officer replied, "On the surface, there were many holes punched by the shells, but they did not enter the water, and it did not affect the navigation. The most critical problem is that the mainmast is broken, and there is no way to use the mainsail, and the magic array is not damaged, but the magic array alone will not be too fast. ”

"The sailors were stronger, and the uninjured ones were put into the paddle compartment and paddled as auxiliary power. In addition, the power of the driving magic array is also turned to the maximum, so you don't have to worry about wasting magic crystals. ”

Kevin asked, "So what are we going to do next?" should we find a nearby island to repair the ship, or should we sail along the original route?"

Otto took a chart from the second officer, pointed and said, "Our position is a little awkward now, there are no large islands nearby that can repair ships, and the nearest one is about 1o days away, and we have to go back." It is better to hold on for another half a month and drive to the island of Bron where we originally planned to go, where there is a lot of business and a lot of boatmen, and repairing the ship is not a problem. ”

"Well, that's it, and we can drive to Bron Island as fast as possible!" said Phyllis.

The second lieutenant gave the order, and the sailors took their positions, and the sunfish gradually started again, although it was much slower than before, but it still made everyone feel a little more at ease.

Soon the second mate ran back and said, "We don't have archers on our ship, the naval battle is too bad, I really don't know why your big ship didn't hire archers, archers are the most important profession in naval warfare, without them, they will definitely be pressed and beaten when they encounter pirates." ”

As soon as the second mate finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly cooled down, Kevin and several others were all looking at Phyllis, only Darko frowned and didn't know what he was thinking. Even Aciba, who doesn't know naval warfare, can see that the archers of the opposing side once suppressed the combat power on the entire deck of the Sunfish, and his own side did not have the same class to fight back. There is no such an important profession as an archer on the Sunfish, which has to be said to be a mistake in decision-making.

In naval battles, archers are not comparable to mages of the same level in terms of attack or continuity. Darko is a magician who can fight a magic archer of the same level, but he is far inferior in group attack suppression. Darko still vividly remembers fighting Adam and recovering the disadvantage with a random shot, an effect that no of his magic can achieve.

Phyllis clenched her teeth and said after a while, "It's my fault that I didn't hire archers, and it just so happens that there is a gathering point of the Stuart family on the island of Bloom at the next stop, so let's borrow someone when we get to Bloomon." ”

After making this decision, Phyllis relaxed instead, but replaced by Darko and began to get nervous. If you go to the Stuart family to borrow someone, you will inevitably owe Adam a favor, and he still attaches great importance to this rival Darko. But Darko didn't have a good solution, the Stuart family's monopoly on the archer profession was too strong, and there was no too strong feeling in other planes, and it was only after arriving in Venus that it could be clearly felt.

In the distance, a seagull jumped up and down, attracting the attention of several people in Darko, it seemed that the seagull had injured its wings and could not fly for the time being, but it didn't know why it had been jumping on the deck. The seagull was followed by Fokker, who was following the seagull curiously, with a puzzled expression.

Falk was the first to call the police when he encountered pirates before, buying time for pre-war preparations, and then another person operated a magic crossbow machine and shot the captain of the opposing pirate ship, Galad, Darko and others all had a great impression of Falk and no longer thought that bringing him on the ship was just a burden.

Darko looked at the seagull strangely, and then at Fawkker, "Fokker, is this your adopted pet?"

Falk saluted Dakko from afar, and then responded, "I picked up this seagull on the deck, it broke its wing, I wanted to help it recover from its injuries and let it go, but it kept trying to go in this direction, so I had to follow it." ”

Hearing this, the attention of Darko and the others fell on the seagull, which was obviously afraid of people, but still cautiously passed by a few people, and then flapped its wings and ran quickly to Otto's side, and then began to rub Otto's trouser legs affectionately. Darko and the others were a little stunned all of a sudden, this scene was too weird, and they all rubbed their eyes to prove that they were not dazzled.

Kevin asked curiously, "Wademeyer, when did you get a pet?"

Otto just shook his head in confusion, looking at the seagull at his feet at a loss.

Phyllis snapped her fingers and guessed excitedly, "It must be that when you were in the Venus plane before, you inadvertently fed it a little bread crumbs or something, and more than ten years later, it still knows how to repay the favor, so I came to you to repay it!"

Darko and the others shook their heads for a while, they were speechless about the plot made up by Phyllis, Darko looked at the seagull, and then at Otto, he suddenly noticed the engraving on Otto's neck, and suddenly thought of a possibility, so he exclaimed, "I know!"

"You know what?" everyone looked at Darko together.

Darko will explain, "The Thunder Glyph itself has a magical structural circuit called the Light of Temptation, and when Otto roars, it will also emit radio waves to interfere with other people's mental power, thus interrupting the casting of spells, right?"

Kevin nodded, "This is the principle of the Thunder Glyph interrupting the spell, we all understand it, but what do you say this has to do with seagulls?"

"Have you forgotten the magic of the Light of Temptation?" Darko became excited, and said the answer without waiting for the others to think clearly, "The electric waves of the Light of Temptation can interfere with mental power, and can only interrupt spellcasting for high-IQ creatures, but for low-IQ creatures, they will be delirious, thus becoming the caster's pet!"

Hearing Darko's words, several people were stunned, and Phyllis quickly asked, "You mean, this seagull was affected by Wedemeyer's roar and became his pet?"

Kevin also suddenly realized, and then asked strangely, "There will be a spiritual connection between the demon pet and the master, don't you feel it?"

Otto just shook his head blankly.

Darko said with a smile, "Otto's mental power is not strong enough, he can only barely control the thunder element in his body, and of course, he can't feel the connection of his pet's mental power." ”

Otto understood what Darko meant, and said tentatively, "That is, although I can summon pets, I can't manipulate them to fight for me?"

"I'm afraid so. ”

Phyllis also sighed, "Alas, I thought I could have one more summoner, but I didn't expect it to be just a pet breeder, and I was excited in vain." ”

As a result, several people were silent, and Kevin suddenly proposed, "If two people share their mental power, won't they be able to manipulate pets?" Darko, your mental power is the strongest, why don't you try it with Weedmeire." ”
