Chapter 40: Encirclement and Annihilation
We could also see people walking to the boat with large pieces of magic crystals, and the two large boxes were alone on the shore, and there was no one next to them at this time, which was not at all like the feeling of being surrounded by people when we first arrived. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Secretary Bucky, what about these two empty boxes." Someone asked loudly.
"Find a few magicians to melt it, and then move it to the ship, steel is also military supplies anyway, we can't waste it." Said one of the several secretaries. It turned out that the big black box was made of iron.
"I'm hungry. Walk for breakfast. An Ling pulled me towards the restaurant.
Because of this apology turmoil, most of the people woke up, and then gathered in the restaurant to eat and talk about what had just happened, it seems that after they mated last night, they even forgot to eat breakfast in the morning and came back. I asked An Ling to find a location, and then I went to get two portions of food to find her, and I could feel her position, and she couldn't feel my position.
After breakfast, we went back to our residence and began a day of meditation, at this time the meditation time has been about three times longer than when we first started contact, about three hours or so, according to the Lich, this is the best time for the formal magic talent to be displayed, and it is also the time when the length of meditation time is highly increased, if the talent is not fully discovered at this time, then there is no great possibility that it will be discovered again in the future.
When I woke up from meditation, it was already around one or two o'clock in the afternoon, and the summoner was still meditating, but the soul had already begun to show signs of awakening, and her magical talent was better than mine, but the good ones weren't too much, and it was also related to my casual cultivation mentality.
After a while, I realized that I was wrong, and although the summoner's soul had signs of awakening, it had not awakened for a long time, and had been in a meditative state.
She ended up an hour longer than me, and when she woke up, her whole body seemed to be very sluggish, and after using the method of stimulating the brain, her mental power quickly recovered, and her soul returned to a more energetic state.
"Go and eat, I'm so hungry." It was the first thing she said to me when she opened her eyes.
The summoner had said a few words in total today, and two of them were for eating.
The canteen on board the ship was served at any time throughout the day, a benefit for the fighters when they felt hungry after training. Although it is not as fresh and hearty as the regular eating time of humans, it is better than nothing. So we went to the restaurant again. When we got back on our feet, we realized that the ship had left Tuke Island and re-entered the channel.
In the dining room we ran into Latham, who greeted us warmly to sit next to him.
"Why are you just eating now, just finished training?" I asked him if his physical function was not active now, and the pores on his body did not open during strenuous exercise, so he should not be training, but it was not ruled out that his training method was more special.
"No, I'm really tired after counting and distributing the things sent by the Antree family just now, but we don't have to worry about food and energy in the near future." He chewed the food in his mouth and leaned back in his chair to talk to us.
"Do we continue to wait for the pirates to take the bait or happily enter the pirates' lair?" After last night's battle, I have a faint feeling of looking forward to the battle.
"The Antree family has already built up momentum for us, and although the hypocritical verbal jump made in the morning shows that this is a covert operation, the pirate eyeliner on Tuk Island, who is so obvious that the pirate eyeliner on Tuk Island will definitely notify the pirates, so this is the best time to act. Either we will be able to find the pirate's ship, or the pirate himself will send it to the door. Latham explained.
"Delivered to the door, like we did before?" I asked.
"No, no, if you encounter a pirate ship this time, it will definitely be a group of pirates, after all, they are the minions of the Holy See of Light, and they will definitely not give up if they have such an opportunity to encircle and annihilate us." It dawned on me that this kind of plan really would fall into a trap no matter what the pirates did, provided that the strength of Shadowfang Island could suppress the pirate fleet that might attack next time.
"I've eaten, you guys enjoy it slowly, I'm too busy to die, I'm going to go over and report to Captain Barcroft, don't bother you, you guys get ready for battle as soon as possible." After Latham finished speaking, he left with the iron plate.
After he left, I re-demonstrated my fast and delicate table skills, sending all the food into my mouth and converting it into energy, while An Ling chewed slowly and leisurely, unlike me.
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
I sat up abruptly and woke up the sleeping spirit directly in my soul, which was quick but had a side effect, and often did it wake her up at this point in the day. The pirates couldn't resist it.
Although Latham has told us in the past few days that there is a pirate ship hanging far behind us, they have not attacked, presumably monitoring the whereabouts of our ship and waiting for the arrival of their accomplices. Now the attack has begun, presumably all the ships have arrived.
At this time, the alarm bell began to sound, and the sound of wearing armor suddenly remembered outside, followed by loud cursing.
This is indeed the time when humans are most thirsty for sleep. The pirates always choose their time this way.
An Ling, who had already put on his battle suit, picked up her newly acquired Staff of Catherine Black Moon and stepped out the door.
As for me, I never took off my clothes. We were on deck before most of us, and the shield never disappeared, so we were in no danger on deck, provided that there was no magical force of nature called a tornado, or a forbidden spell falling on our heads.
A soldier not far away raised his hand and a long cylinder pointed towards the sky, and then a white light rushed from the cylinder to the sky with a whistling sound, and after disappearing for a second or two, the sky suddenly lit up, of course, just the sky above us. I remember that it was a flare, very similar to the illumination magic of the light system, but it was not magic, but a product of alchemy.
White flares are fired at night and red flares are fired during the day, which is agreed with several other ships, and our ships are just bait, but it is impossible to tell who is the hunter and who is the prey. With the white light that had not yet dissipated, many people gasped, all of us were densely packed with ships, all the ships were facing us sideways, and the hatches of the magic cannons on the sides were slowly opening, and they were filled with different colors of magic, ready to fire.
They formed a circle and completely surrounded us in the middle, "It's really bloody, this time there are so many, it seems that they want to concentrate all their forces to destroy us one by one" At this time, Latham followed Captain Barcroft to the deck, looked at the many pirate ships surrounding us, and said.
"How to fight," I asked Captain Buck.
"How? You're crazy, don't fight, I don't want to kill myself, okay, if you don't fight, it's a death, I didn't expect so many ships to come, more than double the previous years, the Holy See of Light is really getting more and more bloody in this regard, the magic stones on our ship have been replenished a few days ago, although there are a lot more, but the total time is about to support so many ships, an hour and a half of attack by magic cannons, but our reinforcements have to have two hours to feel, so this difference of half an hour is the key. Captain Buck said after a quick estimate.
At this time, more and more people had already put on their equipment and came to the deck to assemble, and the army integration at this time was much better than in the first battle, but in the light curtain of the flares, many people saw that so many pirate ships and magic cannons began to make noise, and the veterans next to them even began to use violence to stop these people from making noise.
"Shut up Lao Tzu." At this moment, a loud voice resounded throughout the pirate ship.
It's Barcroft. As he said this, the noise of the whole ship came to an abrupt end, and as he said this, a great murderous aura emanated from his body, much more terrifying than when he said that I was a warrior.
The people that Captain Barcroft has killed can be piled up at least the size of this ship to pile up such a murderous aura, I judge.
All of them were frightened by such a terrifying murderous aura, but fortunately it was not aimed at anyone on this ship, otherwise a few cowardly ones would have a direct mental breakdown.
There was no further text after he said this, but no one dared to say another word.
The magic cannons on the surrounding pirate ships were finally fully charged, and they all fired at us, countless balls of light of different colors flew towards us in the light curtain of flares, I didn't think about what my fate would be at this time, the scene at this time just reminded me, the balls of light fired at the lich in the castle of the dead, the fluctuation of these magic cannonballs is about twice as large, that, it should also be a magic cannon.
Hundreds of balls of light exploded above our ship's passport at the same time, creating large ripples of different colors on the shield, shaking slightly. I suddenly felt a state of overweight, the simultaneous impact of this magic cannonball actually lifted our ship out of the sea, but the next moment Jin fell heavily into the sea, splashing a large wave, our ship shook violently from side to side, but the resulting wave vibration also caused the pirate ship that surrounded us in the distance to shake.
"Hold out for an hour or so, and in the next half an hour, the magician will fly to their ship with the veterans, and we will go and seize their ships one by one." Barcroft said suddenly.
"But," Latham could say before he could say anything, but he was stopped by Bucktrov.
"Nothing, this is the only way, this time we underestimated the Holy See of Light. But don't think too highly of them, with such a huge number of ships, then the crew on each ship must be reduced, and the captains and crews who can control ships on this sea are not so easy to produce, as long as you kill them, everything can be solved. ”
The order has been given, and An Ling and I are among the magicians on the move, adjusting for an hour and preparing to go.
