dignity
A boatload of people on the Manta Ray were enjoying the view overlooking the ocean, when they suddenly felt that other colors were shooting from below, affecting the beauty of the sunrise. Phyllis was the first to exclaim, "What's flashing? ”
Faulk leaned his head out of the railing, then jumped up and sat down on the deck, immediately pointing down and saying, "It seems that someone is shooting magic at us on the sea below, and because the mica is transparent, the brilliance of magic shines through." ”
The boatload of people all poked their heads out curiously and looked down, and it didn't matter what they saw, and everyone was startled, some fell on the deck like Darko, and some even fell directly under the ship. Below, countless magic and arrows poured up like hornets, mixed with crossbow arrows and cannonballs, and if these attacks hit the Manta Rad directly, they would have been blown to pieces.
But there was still a mica between these attacks and the Manta Ray, and these magic and arrows burst into strong fluctuations on the mica, but even if they were divided, they couldn't shake the mica in the slightest. The fluctuations caused by the attack were already very slight when they were transmitted to the Manta Ray.
"Oh roar!" Phyllis cheered, "are they greeting us? ”
Otto sighed, "Looks like this fleet is going to be crushed, bad luck guys. ”
Soon the lower surface of the mica's body slammed into the sea, making a roaring sound, and the huge waves that stirred up surged in all directions. Mica's body slowed down as it slapped on the surface of the sea, and a boatload of people on the Manta Ray suddenly experienced the feeling of being overweight and fell to the deck. Immediately after the mica comes into contact with the seawater, it begins to become turbid, gradually becoming translucent when it is first seen, and soon continues to sink, indicating that the mica has become heavier after absorbing the water and has begun to dive underwater.
When the upper surface of the mica also immersed in the sea, everyone on the Manta Ray only felt that the hull of the ship was light, and the long-lost shaking feeling came from under their feet, and the people on the boat were a little uncomfortable for a while. It was Otto who was the first to shout, "Fokker, get out of the boat!
The people on the boat hurriedly looked into the distance, and saw that in all directions there were waves higher than their ships, surging towards them. When the mica hit the surface of the sea, it had already drained the surrounding sea water to the periphery, and the mica quickly sank below the surface of the sea, and the drop increased even more, so now it has become a situation where huge waves are surging towards the center of the mica from all sides.
Being in the center of the mica will be the most dangerous, because the waves will crush the ship directly from the surrounding and crush the ship at the same time towards the center with nowhere to buffer. Fortunately, the Manta was not in the very center of the mica in the first place, and it was only about 500 meters away from the edge of the mica. Fokker ran to the wheelhouse as fast as he could, and began to steer the ship with his own hands, while giving the order, "Full sails and rudders, drive the magic array to the maximum, let's rush out at full speed!"
The surrounding waves became higher and higher the more they gathered in the center, and the only way out was to rush out in time, and the manta ray made a very small arc, aimed the bow of the boat at the nearest wave, and rushed towards the waves. In the face of such a power of heaven and earth, a group of people on the deck did not dare to hold it up, and all except for the sailors who operated the sails ran into the cabin.
At this time, the wave had increased sharply to the height equivalent to two manta rays, and just as it was about to hit the manta rays, there suddenly seemed to be a trace of restlessness in the wave, and a small gap suddenly appeared in the center of the wave in front of him.
The huge waves crashed against the hull of the Manta Ray, making a sound like thunder, and even lifted the bow of the ship, and the waves smashed the head and face down, and the mainsail was torn in half in the crack. Then the sea water penetrated into the cabin through every crevice, and the crew who had taken refuge in the cabin were also swept away, and some of the sailors were actually swept out of the window of the oar's cabin by the sea water that poured into the ship, and disappeared.
In the midst of the chaos, the bow of the Manta Ray suddenly fell, and although it was still swaying, the terrible tide was already behind them. Darko sat at the window of a gun bay, his face was extremely pale, and it was he who had just used the law of the sea to act on the drainage technique, and he had forced a gap in the waves, so that the Manta Ray rushed over without danger.
Behind the Manta Ray, an even more shocking scene was still unfolding, a circle of waves gathered from all sides towards the center point, colliding together in a dull loud noise, stirring up a column of water hundreds of meters high. Then the water column fell, and the sea did not calm down, but a circle of ripple-like swells diverged in all directions, as if it was an inverted replay of the previous scene, but the height of the swell was far less than before.
On the Devil Ray, everyone barely walked up to the deck holding on to the wall in a violent shake, and gathered together again. Soon news was reported from all parts of the ship, and the damage was quickly counted by Fokker and handed over to Phyllis. After this wave attack, the Manta Ray lost 76 crew members at once, of which 69 were hired sailors, 6 Stuart archers, and a knight of the Dark Church.
Half of these men were sailors who controlled the mainsail, and before they could escape into the cabin, they were swept away by the waves and disappeared. The other half were mostly sailors at the bottom of the ship who were responsible for controlling and driving the magic array, and the seawater that poured into the cabin eventually poured into the bottom layer, and because the drainage speed could not keep up, most of the sailors in the bottom cabin were suffocated.
"It's okay, it's okay, not too many people died, and we're not far from the ruins of death, so we can just stick there. Phyllis patted her chest with trepidation, she was now eager to run into the ruins of the dead and hide, and never sail again.
"We didn't expect the mica landing to be so loud, and if we had taken precautions, we wouldn't have lost so many sailors. Wendy landed on the deck from the air, and three sailors fell at the same time, all three sailors were washed off the ship by the waves, and everything happened so fast that Wendy only had time to save three people. Wendy had just been flying in the air to see the whole picture, and she could appreciate the horror of the waves.
"We've only been through one big wave, and we're much luckier than the fleet that's crushed under mica. Kevin was still thinking about the hapless fleet, "Have any of you seen the flag of that fleet? If it's a pirate ship, we're going to be at the top of the Sailors' Guild's ranking in terms of contribution." ”
"It's not a pirate ship. "I saw the flag on their mainmast, an icon of a spur, which was the fleet of the Cappadocia family. ”
"The Cappadocia family?" Phyllis's eyes narrowed, then she looked at Selby, "Hey, why are you opening your mouth so wide, did happiness come too suddenly, and you can't close your mouth with happiness?"
In fact, Selby does not have a high degree of identification with the family from the perspective of personal feelings, as a branch of the collateral lineage, he does not have the identity of an heir, and he has not received too many resources and benefits from the family. Even if he has excellent fighting talent, he will not be able to get the corresponding status in the family, and will only be ostracized by other family members. In contrast, the Church of Darkness helped him much more, which is why he took the initiative to participate in the war against the Church of Light many times.
But after all, Selby is suffixed with the surname Cappadocia, more or less emotional, and he also knows that the family is pouring out of the nest this time, but he didn't expect to be wiped out in a humiliated way before he reached the death relic. This made him unable to accept it for a while, and he was suddenly told that his family was dead, and it would not be easy for anyone to accept it.
Elena also walked over and asked, "Are there any direct family members in this expedition of the Cappadocia family, why did you look so bad?"
Selby swallowed a mouthful of saliva and replied with difficulty, "This time, in order to explore the relics of death, our family is basically all on a mission, except for several other sects in the church, including the patriarch and all the heirs are in this fleet......"
"Wow, we have inadvertently destroyed a lot of strong people, so we feel a sense of accomplishment!" Phyllis whistled and continued to laugh at Selby unscrupulously, "Now that the Cappadocia family has been destroyed, aren't you the purest bloodline among the remnants ......of the Cappadocia family?"
Although the Nike Remons family and the Cappadocia family are both legendary families, their relationship is by no means harmonious, and they are half hostile and half competitive. This time, Phyllis took Darko and the others to sail without saying goodbye, and she was still panicked, for fear of being scolded by her father. But along the way, she first bought the gray mirror, and now she has destroyed the expedition of the Cappadocia family, and there will only be a large number of rewards waiting for her.
"You guys have a sense of accomplishment, don't you?" said an abrupt voice from the side of the ship.
Following the sound, I saw a hand covered in black armor grasping the fence on the side of the ship, slowly but surely climbing up, and then jumping onto the boat. Seeing this person's face, everyone was taken aback, and Selby was even more shocked and fell directly on the deck.
"Cantori, you weren't crushed to death, you look like you're a good swimmer." Although Phyllis was surprised, she was not afraid of the other party, not only were there many people on their side, but also their professions were balanced, so naturally they were not something that a mere punishment knight could threaten.
"Looks like this is the Nike Remones ship?" Cantori's face was so gloomy that he seemed to be able to squeeze out of the water, "I jumped into the sea early, used up three more water-splitting scrolls, and was lucky enough to crash into your ship." ”
Phyllis slapped her head and hurriedly called Wendy and whispered a few words to her, who nodded and flew into the air, heading backwards.
"Should you give me an explanation?" Contoli, though alone, was not weak in momentum, and a knight's spear more than two meters long appeared in his hand and aimed directly at Phyllis.
Otto also stepped forward at the same time, and a heavy shield appeared in front of him, and the fighting energy on the surface of the shield fluctuated like flames, ready to defend at any time. Seeing this, Selby hurriedly got up from the deck, rushed up two steps and shouted, "Don't be impulsive, this is purely a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
"Shut up!" Cantori snorted, almost scaring Selby on the deck again, "You bastard, you bastard, you are mixed with the Nike Remones family, didn't the Dark Church's fleet of fish belly be wiped out by spear and sea urchins?
Selby was stunned for a moment, and then his whole body trembled violently involuntarily, and anger gradually gathered in his heart. Selby, as a member of the side line, was often ostracized in the family, and although he was used to it, the mongrel insults still made him feel humiliated. The Dark Church has been a great help to his growth, and the destruction of the expedition by the Church of Light is a sore spot that he doesn't want to remember, but now the elite of the expedition is insulted by Cantori as a fish belly, which is even more unacceptable to Selby than the insult to him personally.
"That's enough!" Selby suddenly roared, "The so-called family is just gathering the strength of the whole clan to serve a few of you direct heirs! In your eyes, the family is everything! Because the entire family will be yours in the future! Even if you are in the War Church, have you done anything for the War Church? Yes, you are the highest bloodline purity in the whole family, but you, the first heir, are not of the same rank as me? What qualifications do you have to despise me!"
Cantoli was stunned for a moment when he was robbed of white, he didn't expect Selby to dare to speak to him like this. But after thinking about it, the family is close to extinction, and Selby will naturally no longer be afraid of his heir status as before, these words are probably what Selby wanted to say a long time ago, but now when the family is down, he dares to really say it. As soon as he thought of this, Cantoli was so angry that he glared at Selby fiercely, as if he wanted to kill the other with his eyes.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Phyllis suddenly pushed Selby behind his back, "Come on, don't be cowardly." ”
Selby looked back at Phyllis in surprise, he had only been arguing with Cantoli for a moment, and had not even thought about fighting. After all, both sides have the same surname, so they don't want to make a big deal out of it because of a little thing, but Phyllis obviously doesn't think so.
"Now I announce that the battle for the head of the Cappadocia family has officially begun! The number of viewing windows on the bridge is limited, everyone hurry up and grab a seat!" Phyllis was afraid that the world would call out in a hurry, and many sailors who did not know the truth really ran to grab their seats. Phyllis winked at Selby again and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'll give you a sweep." ”
At the same time, several bursts of cold air gathered and solidified on the deck one after another, and the Dark Knights who often surrounded Selby were sealed in the ice cage. These men are all chastitters of the Cappadocia family, and they are not sure if they will remain neutral, so it is safer to control. Binding such a high-level warrior, Darko's ice cage can last at least ten minutes, enough to wait for Selby and Cantori to divide the winner. In the context of uncertainty, such variables must be constrained.
"As long as you win Selby, I'll give you a lifeboat, let you go, and make sure that no one on our ship will do anything like you. A pact spirit was summoned and recorded what Phyllis had said.
"Including the flying one, too!" Cantoli faintly noticed the loophole in Phyllis's words, Wendy had been flying in the air, not touching the Manta Ray, and not being considered a person on board.
"Including Roberts, of course. Phyllis added, and then the spirit of the contract turned into two points of light and imprinted on the eyebrows of both parties, and the contract was established.
Driven by various circumstances, a certain impulse that had been suppressed in Selby's heart was slowly rising, and he looked at Cantoli again, his eyes were already burning with fierce intent, and then the dusty knight's spear appeared in his hand.
Contoli looked at Selby with disdain and said contemptuously, "We, the Cappadocia family, have been in the bloodline of the Punishment Knight for thousands of years, and we fight for the family, for the territory, and for loyalty. Look at you again? What are you fighting for?"
Selby pointed the tip of the gun downward and diagonally to the right, raised his head and said slowly, "Dignity." ”
