"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

Countless pitch-black arrows were shot from the ghost ship, these small flying objects perfectly matched the night of the Sea of Death, and the eyes could only see the faint glow produced by the aether particles excited by the arrows, and several sailors blindly raised their shields to defend Captain Vina Dubov from the threat of a rain of arrows, while she herself used a variety of observation instruments to measure the relative position changes between her and the ghost ship.

It wasn't until the results of the tedious calculations came that the half-elf beauty shouted eagerly:

"The azimuth correction is the first on the left, the ruler is seven, and the parameters of each gun position are adjusted."

Hearing the sound, Luo Zhengdao did not hesitate for a moment, and after the gunners shouted that they had finished adjusting the angle, he waved his hand vigorously to make a downward cutting posture, and shouted loudly:

"Fire!"

"Boom! Boom! Knock ......"

Whatever is alive will eventually die, and whatever is corporeal will eventually perish. Therefore, neither birth nor destruction, neither increase nor decrease, neither purity nor impurity, this is part of the Buddhist doctrine of the old world. In the new world, strange and inexplicable special beings like ghost ships are essentially somewhere between the illusory and the real, but in order to come into contact with things in the real world, even the necromancers must transform themselves from nothingness. That is to say, if the ghost ship has no intention of attacking others, then it itself is an illusion that does not exist in the material world, and of course it cannot be attacked by others.

Even if Luo Zhengdao is a member of a rare species like a traverser, he doesn't have much esoteric philosophical dialectical awareness, and at this moment, he only instinctively judged that the ghost ship could be attacked, and if he wanted to ask him where this inexplicable confidence came from, it was estimated that the answer was only a slap or two of stares.

"Bang Bang Bang Bang ......"

Thousands of arrows as black as ink shot from the direction of the ghost ship, and landed on the deck and side of the Howler like a storm, and these rusty metal arrows pecked into the wooden hull with a dense low and dull sound, and in the blink of an eye, the originally brilliant decoration of the Howway was thrust like a porcupine by countless black arrows.

This long-range strike was not enough to destroy the main structure of the battleship, and the sailors were inevitably killed, especially those on the upper deck, who had to duck behind the bulwark as quickly as possible after firing a round of guns, and were so suppressed by the rain of arrows that they did not even dare to lift their heads. On the masts and sails behind the sailors, the black arrows that continued to shoot were so dense that they could not reach the hull of the battleship with their outstretched hands. Faced with the test of such a bad battle situation, who dares to straighten his waist and reload ammunition, it is estimated that the end will not be much better than that of the assassin Nameless in the old world blockbuster "Hero".

The chaotic long-range shooting, no matter who looks at it, can understand that the end of the pirates will definitely not be good. Raising his shield with one hand to cover himself, Luo Zhengdao crouched down and shouted to Zola Hegel, who insisted on steering under the threat of a rain of arrows:

"Distance! Left full rudder! ”

Having just been hit by two rounds of close-range shelling from the Yangwei, the stone projectiles fired also opened several huge holes in the ghost ship, and even the dim moonlight on the right side could be seen from the left. Still, the damage did not compromise the Ghost Ship's agility, and it followed up as the Howler swung its left full rudder to change course. Seeing this scene, Luo Zhengdao's eyes were red, this is to catch a toad and have to pick up a ball of powder! At this moment, he didn't care about anything else, so he took the risk of getting up and snatching the steering wheel from Zola's hand, Luo Zhengdao turned the steering wheel to adjust the direction of the battleship, and slammed straight into the ghost ship.

"Goo-dong-"

The dull and long crashing sound and the rattling sound of the battleship's hull plates were mixed together, making people feel only itchy at the root of their teeth when they listened to it, and the exquisite and practical bronze ramming horns were installed, and the bow of the Yangwei was inserted into the side of the ghost ship at an angle of almost ninety degrees, and now everyone wanted to run.

Only those who are not afraid of death deserve to live! This is obviously incompatible with real life in the ordinary life of ordinary little people from 9 to 5, and it is very appropriate if it is placed on the bloody battlefield. What kind of person dies the fastest when two armies face each other? Of course, it's the idiots who are scared out of their guts and turn around and run to sell their backs to the enemy! If it is still difficult for someone to kill you from the front, then it must be nine out of ten to be sure of the back, so in war, the more afraid a person is, the faster he will die, and this truth is also unbreakable.

Luo Zhengdao had been trying to avoid a raw broadside battle before, but he still had to take the initiative to choose to fight, and the sailors who were finally able to stand up straight picked up their swords and short spears, and rushed to the deck with chaotic steps, and a bloody battle was about to explode.

"Woo-"

The wails of the ghosts floating in the air are breathtaking, and the listeners are all cold from the top of their heads to their heels, and the pirates regard killing people as if they were waiting for leisure, and they are engaged in close combat with non-human opponents, which is a bit too difficult to test. What's more, the problem is that the light is dim, dealing with disembodied ghosts, and the effect of long-range weapons is not good.

"We are not afraid of those living enemies, do you need to be afraid of a group of dead ghosts? Follow me! ”

The fierce boatswain Zola Hegel was worthy of a generation of outlaw bandits, and without saying a word, he was the first to jump onto the deck of the ghost ship with his customary patterned steel saber in his hand, and the deck of the ship was so rotten that it could withstand a vigorous stampede. Seeing this scene, the sailors behind who were still somewhat hesitant could say anything, so they had to rush forward with the boatswain.

At the last moment, Luo Zhengdao was not idle, and the magic card he pinched in the sleeve of his robe emitted a faint blue light, and he said in a low voice:

"Summoned - Six-Pointed Star Array!"

In response, a slender blue light appeared in the dark night sky, initially expanding horizontally along the two-dimensional scale, followed by a series of phantom flickering, this plane structure of the six-pointed star circle extended and expanded into a three-dimensional sphere in two directions at the same time, no matter from which angle you can see the image is a standard three-dimensional six-pointed star array.

Unlike the Arcanist and Warlock casters that later emerged in the New World, the magicians, who were so old that they were out of touch with the current magic system, followed a different set of principles: they did not have the ability to cast spells directly, and they needed to rely on magic cards to use magic.

Magic cards are magic cards that solidify the existing magic in the cards, so as to create a special spell casting effect at one touch, although the storage of these cards saves the preparation time of the magic card master and the trivial needs such as the casting medium, the user still needs to pay the corresponding mental power and elemental points to activate the magic, and the more powerful the magic card, the higher the requirements for use. In a certain way, there are many shortcomings in the skills of the beginner partial magic card masters, but they should not underestimate their potential in the future. The real magic of magic cards is that as the level of the cards held by the magic card masters increases, the magic that can be solidified will become more and more powerful, and it is not impossible to eventually distort and tamper with the law, or even completely replace the existence of the law.

Only the magic card master who has come into contact with the essence of the power of this level is qualified to be called a ruthless character who made the Aragami series that commanded the multiverse collectively fight the streets.

While Luo Zhengdao was moving this three-star magic card, he keenly caught a trace of shadow that appeared out of nowhere and attached to his body. Seeing this, his heart moved slightly, as if this was a manifestation of the curse of the deakami, and it was probably the negative energy environment of the Sea of Death that made it easier to observe some traces of the power of the curse. This is a good place to start, and perhaps when he has time to do some research, he can try to follow this clue to parse the Aragami curse. In a flash, he put this matter down again, and the top priority was to solve the ghost ship, and thinking about other things was not a proper business.

"Kala! Kerra! ”

As the pirates swung across the Aetheric Sea between the two ships, jumped onto the deck of the ghost ship and began to fight, the skeletons and zombies who stayed in the bottom compartment of the ghost ship also joined the battle circle, they were not deliberately ambushed, and most of the undead creatures did not have this IQ to consider. The ethereal spirits penetrate the wooden bulkhead and climb the deck to join the battle, and the corporeal undead creatures have to take the stairs, which is why a ridiculous time lag tactic emerges.

Don't think that the right answer is to have only ghosts on the ghost ship, which is a layman's term for nothing more than a mobile lair of the dead. If any of the benevolent brothers went out without looking at the yellow calendar, the idea was too back, and it would be quite normal to bump into the black knight on the ghost ship, or even the golden mummy.

Among the many types of undead creatures, only self-aware high-level creatures such as lichs and vampires are unlikely to appear on the ghost ship, and other than that, the other varieties of undead creatures are very satisfied with the negative energy living environment of the ghost ship and have no intention of moving.

At this time, as a large number of undead creatures appeared en masse, the pressure on the pirates increased dramatically, and their range of activities was gradually compressed to a corner of the deck of the ghost ship, which would make even the blind see that the momentum was not good.

"Fire support!"

"Bang ......"

Designed by the designers of the Royal Shipyard of Arling, the Yangwei was a well-designed, high-quality battleship with a hull construction unlike that of the armed merchant ships of the part-time pirate ships, with a large number of swing guns and eagle guns deployed on the upper deck to resist possible broadside engagements. Although these weapons were dismantled when the warship was decommissioned, the original gun emplacements were always there, and it was enough to buy the same kind of weapons and install them, this kind of military-level professional fire support was not without ferocity, and it was not difficult to sweep the deck of the ghost ship. Luo Zhengdao, who was staying on the rear deck, noticed that the offensive and defensive trends had changed hands in the white-knuckle battle, and immediately gave the attack order to the sailors operating these sober guns.

At the sound of an order, a storm of flames was set off on the side of the Yangwei near the ghost ship, and grapeshot and shotgun shells burst out of the barrel of the cannon and rained down on the ghost ship.

Undead souls are different from creatures with flesh and blood, for them the lack of arms and legs is not a big deal, only by accurately hitting the head and extinguishing the soul fire can they be completely killed. It is best not to have any superfluous illusions about the accuracy of firearms hovering in the pre-industrial revolution era, if you shoot at a target as large as a warship, it is better to say that the distance is shortened before firing, and the accuracy will not deviate much. If you want to accurately hit a single target the size of a human head, it is estimated that the gunner must first go to the gods to ask for protection before ignition, which basically has nothing to do with the level of their gunnery, but is closely related to luck.
