Chapter 172: Strategic Retreat
There was also a mess on the deck.
The pirates are fighting with a group of people dressed in black and wearing all faceless male masks, and these masked people are all players in terms of combat skill style, but because there are so many of them, the pirates who fight with them are still at a disadvantage.
Around the Dolphin, there are three large ships that are two or three times the size of the Dolphin, and the guns on the large ships are firing at the Dolphin with a very rhythmic sound, and the situation is very critical.
Tang Xin aimed at the captain's room, Wen Er was at the helm, controlling the Dolphin to swing back and forth to avoid the ensuing cannonballs, under his accurate prediction, almost every shell and torpedo coming towards the Dolphin narrowly and dangerously dodged, and what he couldn't avoid was only to scratch the side of the Dolphin. But this dodge also caused the hull to shake violently, and basically Tang Xin was now holding on to a pillar to observe the surrounding situation for a long time.
"Hodge, I haven't seen you for so many years, and I haven't made much progress in my skills! It seems that the ethereal title of One Piece makes you too complacent, right? Hahaha......" A heroic and contemptuous voice came from the big ship in the middle, and this voice was very loud and resounded throughout the battlefield of naval warfare.
"Renard, you're just like that, you fight softly, and your strength won't all be spent on Rebecca's little girl, right? Look at your belly like that, you must have been patronizing and eating it in the past few years, right? Captain Hodge's momentum did not fall at all, and along with the sound of fierce battles, only dust and smoke flew and swords and swords were left for a moment.
Tang Xin watched for a while, and found that the boss lady Anna was also on that big ship, and she was besieged by twenty or thirty people. It looks like it's an elite squad of players. They beat Lady Anna as a boss.
"What's going on?" Tang Xin continued to dodge the weapons colliding in the sky, stabilized his body and came to the captain's room.
"You're out? Are you tired of the game? Let's rest for a while......" Wen Er steered the ship intently. The situation was so tense that he couldn't bother to look back at Tang Xin anymore, but he still spoke leisurely and elegantly, as if the hot naval battle scene in front of him was just an illusion like a mirror.
Tang Xin glanced at Wen Er, but immediately reacted that he shouldn't be able to see it now, so he could only say angrily, "Who is the other party?" ”
"The NPC part is the Lanling Sea Pirates, one of the best pirate gangs on the sea, and they once competed with Captain Hodge for the title of Pirate King, and the player part is still unclear. I couldn't tell it was the guild, and they were all wearing masks, and I suspect it was the group. ”
"Understood, give me a set of states, I'm going to help." With Tang Xin's tacit understanding with Wen Er, she already knew who those people were, although there were still many questions, but now that the situation was urgent, she couldn't care so much, after she confirmed her enemy. He jumped from the captain's quarters to the deck with a flip.
Tang Xin's addition made a turning point in the battle, and the explosive shadow attack against a group of players who had been cut to blood by the pirates, as if entering a no-man's land, Tang Xin had already harvested two lives the moment he landed.
And then it's Tang Xin's performance time. I saw her advance left and right, and with each turn she threw a spell infused with the right amount of power at a masked man, and the silver-gray shadow healing pierced through the enemy's body. brought out a huge injury, and the invisible, ethereal move. Make her slippery like a loach, and there's no way to tell where she's going to move next.
The advantage of increasing the agility attribute to an extremely high level is well reflected in Tang Xin, on such a shaky deck. As soon as she entered the combat state, her balance judgment reached an extremely high state, Tang Xin shuttled through various positions on the deck with ease, and every wave of Floy's guard could take away at least one life, and before the enemy could react, Tang Xin seemed to have already controlled the entire battlefield.
This is the huge energy of a god-level PK player to influence the battle situation.
After Tang Xin took away at least thirty players' levels, the masked people players woke up from a dream and found that the enemies on the opposite side were not only the NPC bearded pirates with great strength but single attack methods.
"Gather fire, that priest!" A masked man shouted at Tang Xin.
In the next second, whether it was a long-range melee attack, all of them were aimed at Tang Xin, and the skills of the magic physics system were locked onto Tang Xin, and Tang Xin was suddenly in an extremely dangerous state.
Steve's fraud!
Tang Xin's timing of using the skill was just right, and with a light jump, she had already jumped out of the small deck space, and now under her feet was the blue sea, and she didn't stay in the air for too long, so she fell into the sea with a thud, and all her skills were judged to be free skills because the target disappeared.
Suddenly, chickens and dogs jumped on the deck, and the skills in all directions were originally a landing point towards the location of Tang Xin in the center, but now after Tang Xin disappeared, all the skills fell on their own people on the opposite side, mixed with the flash of skills, and even a few white lights flashed, representing that someone died because of this.
Tang Xin, who fell into the sea, roughly identified the direction, and swam in the direction of the big ship, the sea was not calm, and a torpedo passed over Tang Xin's shoulder, but because Tang Xin wore the heart of the sea god, an heirloom necklace from the Abel family, he also moved freely in the sea as on land, so he was quite easy to dodge, but the turbulent shaking under the sea made Tang Xin often deviate from the direction, so she was very difficult to stick to the bottom of the big ship.
Hey...... Tang Xin smiled treacherously and pulled out the engineering bomb from his backpack.
She inserted the timer on it, and then fixed it tightly on the wooden board at the bottom of the boat with tape, and at this time she couldn't care about the structural problem, Tang Xintuhao proudly pasted the bomb all over the bottom of the ship, and after pasting one ship, she did the same for the other two ships.
Tang Xin returned to the Dolphin from the underwater submarine part, climbed from the secret passage to the captain's room, and continued to climb up until he reached the watchtower of the sailboat.
"Uh-huh...... Audition! Audition! Can you hear it from the other side? Tang Xin held a small dwarf trumpet, sat on the railing of the watchtower for a long time, and swayed his feet leisurely. From the ground, she looked like she was crumbling as if she was about to fall, and Wen Er's heartbeat almost missed a beat at first glance. But then he realized that this was just a game, and he laughed dumbly. Continue to steer the boat calmly.
The battle on the big ship was hot, ignoring her, Tang Xin was not in a hurry, she continued: "Listen to the people on the other side, now I have put a large amount of explosives on the bottom of your ship, repeat, it is enough to sink the ship...... I'll blow one up first to show everyone the effect! ”
Tang Xin pressed the remote control button in his hand, and with a bang, a huge explosion came from a boat on the left. The big ship slowly tilted at a speed visible to the naked eye to prove that what Tang Xin said was not a joke.
- The system indicates that you have dealt fatal damage to a ship of the Great Ship level, and have met the requirements of the Voyage Campaign achievement "Brilliant Naval Battle Victory III", rewarding 1 achievement point and 10 points of world reputation.
The pirates were shocked by Tang Xin's undisciplined way of playing cards, and all the NPCs gradually stopped, but the players didn't care whether the NPC's ship sank or not, and the faceless male masked man not only did not stop attacking. On the contrary, it also strengthens the output.
The pressure on Lady Anna suddenly increased, even though she was an epic swordsman, but two fists were no match for four hands, not to mention that the players who besieged her were undying locust-like players. Even if Anna kills one wave, another wave of players comes up again, and the big map is different from the dungeon. As long as there are enough people and they are not afraid of death, dozens or hundreds of people can push a boss.
"Captain Leonard, is that? Friendly reminder. Please tell your partners to stop now, or else...... Everyone will enjoy two more fireworks displays! Tang Xin continued to threaten.
The Lanling pirates who have been crisscrossing the ocean for many years have also seen a naval battle like this for the first time. Why don't you use artillery torpedoes, you don't ram horns, you don't fight a landing battle, but what kind of ghost bomb do you use? If the ship is blown up and sunk, it is not that there is no cargo left, and there is no way to catch the prisoners, and those bombs are not free of money, each cost hundreds or even thousands of gold, which is equivalent to losing all money!
"Stop! You hellish adventurers, stop it! If we don't stop, our deal will be cancelled! Cancelled! And you will be hunted down by the Lanling pirates forever! Leonard shouted hoarsely, his heart was already dripping blood, his big ship, with the cargo it had just been looted, was sinking like this, and the more tragic reality was that he might be about to suffer even greater damage to his property.
However, the Masked Man players ignore Leonard and continue to attack the Dolphin and Lady Anna, and some of them are pestering Captain Hodge, who apparently has little interest in keeping the poor old pirate's property.
"Really? Then cancel it! One of the masked men said nonchalantly, his voice sinister and presumptuous, not taking the old pirate threat to heart.
"Things seem complicated......" Tang Xin saw that the threat could not work, so he slid off the mast and returned to the captain's room.
"Their purpose is now obvious, they want to use the hands of the Lanling pirates to take down the Dolphin, and take down the two epic heroes of Lady Anna and Captain Hodge, for this reason, this group of players may have pretended to cooperate with the pirates before, so they coaxed this ruthless pirate who is one of the best on the sea to make a wedding dress for them......" Wen Er analyzed softly, his expression was also a little strict, "The strength of these people is very good, after a long time, Anna and Uncle Hodge are likely to be defeated, empty the deck first, Call the two of them back, and the rest will be discussed in the long run. ”
"You're running away, aren't you? I see...... I'm going to call them. Tang Xin nodded as if she didn't understand, although she hadn't turned a corner yet, she was also very smart enough to understand Wen Er's words.
"Well, you can also call it a strategic shift." The second son of Wen gently hooked the corners of his lips.
“…… Say whatever you want. Tang Xin jumped out of the captain's room and entered the battle on the deck again.
The players who successfully landed on the deck of the Dolphin earlier were all climbed up by guò longboard and soft ladder during the raid, and after the Dolphin turned on the defense system, there were no new people who could climb it, so Tang Xin killed one, and there was one less masked man on the deck, and Tang Xin cooperated with the pirates, and it didn't take long to clear the deck.
"The owner, the hostess...... The wind is howling! While Tang Xin shouted black words with a small horn, he pressed the detonator in his hand, and suddenly a series of explosions came from the remaining two large ships, and the people on the boat staggered and stood unsteadily, and many players were thrown out and fell into the sea.
- The system indicates that you have dealt fatal damage to two large ship class ships, and have met the requirements of the Brilliant Naval Battle Victory IV in the Nautical Campaign, rewarding 1 achievement point and 10 world prestige points.
- The system indicates that you have successfully won a medium-sized naval battle, met the requirements of the military campaign achievement "One of the Brilliant Battles", and awarded 5 achievement points and 10 world reputation points.
Lady Anna and Captain Hodge have a lot of combat experience, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to fight their way out of the encirclement and become epic heroes.
They took advantage of the chaos on the ship to show their powers, and jumped back to the Dolphin from the big ship dozens of meters away, and Captain Hodge came back with a fat man in his hand, and looked at the pirate Leonard, who was too painful because of the heavy loss, and was captured by Captain Hodge when he didn't pay attention.
Under Wen Er's manipulation, the Dolphin passed through the middle of several large ships that were about to sink like a fish, dodging the whirlpool caused by the whirlpool, and quickly sailed into the distance, leaving the mess behind.
When Lady Anna returned to the Dolphin, she was already scarred, she killed at least dozens of players by herself, and resisted the siege for a long time with her own strength, this is the strength of an epic hero, even in the face of locust-like players, that level is also the lord boss level.
By the time Tang Xin and Wen Er assisted the ship's doctor, Sidney, in settling all the wounded on board, night had already fallen, and the Dolphin had drifted for hundreds of nautical miles without power, because there was no one to steer the ship, and they didn't know where it had drifted.
After this battle, it is obvious that Tang Xinwen Er has been treated differently among the pirates, the pirates who are bloodthirsty and heroic by nature and are uninhibited and difficult to be tamed, look at the eyes of the two with some respect and warmth, and the status of the two has risen sharply, and they are second only to Hodge and Anna all of a sudden.
"Tell me what's going on?" Tang Xin was tired and paralyzed on the bed in the bedroom, feeling that the day had been too fulfilling, first kidnapping an earl, and then fighting a naval battle, the Dolphin and their two NPC friends seemed to have become the target of an unknown player organization, coveted by a powerful force with at least a few hundred first-class masters......
I don't know how many crises I will encounter on the next journey. (To be continued......)
