"Drake, check the Earl's body. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!)"
"Okay, don't worry."
For his old partner's request, Humpty Dumpty Ship Doctor Drake King naturally had no reason to refuse, nodded briskly, took out tools such as stethoscopes and timers from the portable treatment box, and carefully and meticulously conducted a physical examination for Luo Zhengdao.
The thing that Faure Chopin is most worried about is Luo Zhengdao's health problems, and the high-ranking people in the fleet know that he often falls into a coma because of some mysterious curse, but if a good doctor deals with it, it can always help Luo Zhengdao alleviate some of the ** pain! Helpless old Fur hoped so, and he silently prayed for the head of the house.
In his old profession, Drake King's medical skills are worthy of the title of the earl's personal doctor, and the number of patients in the pirate fleet who need his help is very small, and only when several other doctors are helpless will they bother Drake to come to treat him, so the ship doctor is also a big man in the pirate gang that no one dares to take lightly. Even if there are nurse professions such as priests and priests in the New World, there are only a handful of big nobles who bring professional retinues with them, and exiled nobles like Luo Zhengdao are not qualified to put this kind of score. Before sending his son on board and fleeing, the cheap old Earl did not forget to assign a professional who was proficient in medicine and pharmacy to take care of him, which made people feel sorry for the parents of the world!
An agitated Faul Chopin paced back and forth in the captain's room, and he looked at the ship's doctor who was crouching on the floor to examine Luo Zhengdao's body, and said:
"Old man, how is the Earl doing?"
Putting down the wooden stethoscope that looked like a small trumpet, Drake King grinned, got up and patted Captain One-Eyed on the shoulder, and said with relief:
"Well, don't worry. This time it's the same as before, and the curse is done again. Come, carry the Earl to the bed with me. ”
After carefully settling the unconscious Luo Zhengdao, Faul Chopin said with a gloomy face:
"What is the name of the woman I saw just now, Yasha! This woman is absolutely suspicious, and I swear by the wine I've drunk in my life that she's a dangerous person. ”
Hearing this, Drake King said while packing up his medical equipment:
"Alright! If you feel that she is a threat, it is right to send additional men to protect Lord Earl, and you must not go on a business trip. ”
For these retainers who have served the Count of Fulu family for generations, they have long linked their own interests with the rise and fall of the Count family, and the two have become an inseparable community of destiny. Just as Fort Chopin would never tolerate the success of such a sinister attempt to assassinate the head of his family, it would also be a great rebellion for Drake, even if he knew that this was not the right time to clean up the internal troubles, and he could not relax in the slightest to prevent it.
At the same time, when the battle on the sea showed no signs of abating, Zola Hegel, with his scimitar in his hand, parried the arrows, and shouted to the gunners:
"Bunnies, listen up, prepare for a close-range artillery battle, this time we will load double shotguns, let's surprise those muddy balls on the other side, send them to hell!"
Hearing the boatswain's agitation, the pirates shouted in unison, and soon the various gunners shouted one after another:
"Ready!"
"Reload complete!"
The enemy and the enemy chase each other and shoot in the bumpy near-shore waters, and the artillery hit is as difficult as throwing a ping-pong ball from a speeding car into the window of a car that is moving five meters apart and is moving in the opposite direction. As a result, the closer you get, the higher the probability of a hit, and pirates know the trick of it, especially the boatswain Zola Hegel.
Visually less than a hundred yards away from the enemy ship, he raised his scimitar in the air and shouted:
"Guys, it's time, light the fire!"
"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"
At the boatswain's command, thousands of stone projectiles the size of grape grains roared out along with the white smoke from the explosion of stone pine powder, and these hard and fragile projectiles scrambled towards the enemy ship, and the sails as white as snow instantly broke into a fishing net, and no one on the huge deck dared to stand up and walk, and the ship opposite must have been filled with the painful moans and wails of the dying and wounded.
"Zola, the situation is not right, stand back immediately, we have to back off immediately."
Suddenly sensing that this was wrong, and at the same time as he cried out in horror, the first mate in charge of the helm, Brando Scarlet, immediately pulled the steering wheel of the Yangwei with all his might. Immediately, the massive Yaling warship changed its original direction of travel, and an angle of nearly thirty degrees appeared between it and the opposing battleship, and the relative position changed from roughly parallel to the bow of the Yangwei pointing at the enemy ship.
"Boom—"
In an instant, the powerful shock wave generated by the deflagration of a large amount of stone pine powder spread out in all directions with the enemy warship as the center, and this impact force was so strong that the light blue air wave became clearly visible to the naked eye. Hit by a powerful external force, the Aetheric Sea, which was usually pitch black away from the waters, turned into a sea of light surging with golden light ripples. In the midst of the explosion, the Yangwei was brutally baptized, and wherever the strong air and waves went, the hull part of the battleship Yan zhòng, which was mainly made of tough oak and hard mahogany, leaned outward, and the roll was so large that it could capsize at any moment.
The hull plates of the Yangwei, which had withstood the impact of the explosion, rubbed against each other, and there was a strange "creaking" sound in the violent jolting and shaking, and the whole battleship seemed to fall apart at any time, but fortunately, this kind of thing did not really happen.
Near the moment before the explosion of the enemy ship, relying on Brando Scarlet Flame's timely perception of danger, his sixth sense swinged horizontally, and preempted the left rudder for more than ten seconds before the explosion, and the Yangwei barely avoided the impact of the center of the explosion, strictly speaking, only suffered the aftermath of the explosion. In the midst of a rollercoaster-like cabin, the pirates still felt as if the end of the world had arrived, and a deep sense of fear enveloped their hearts.
With his ears buzzing, Brando Scarlet, who could barely hear his own speech, gestured to the boatswain a few paces away, and shouted:
"Gather the sailors on the Yong, let's get out of here."
Frightened enough by Najaf's brutal tactics of killing both enemy and enemy, the pirates turned around and fled in a way that bordered on panic, and took advantage of the enemy ship's unsuccessful self-detonation trap to fight their way back to the sea from the edge of the battlefield.
The Yangwei, which has been reequipped with True Demon Pattern, is the biggest advantage to boast about in terms of sailing, and even the original battleship of Yaling will have a hard time catching up with it, which is the most advantageous when preparing to escape.
After the wind and waves calmed down, the officers and crew of the Yangwei also returned to their normal state, and they gathered together to go to the captain's room to visit Luo Zhengdao's condition. Facing the unconscious Earl, everyone couldn't help but feel at a loss about the future, although when Luo Zhengdao was awake, he didn't look like an indispensable core person or team leader, after this guy fell, the pirates suddenly felt that without this helmsman on the ship, they lost their way forward. This fleet was originally managed by Luo Zhengdao to be put together, and there were different factions inside, and there was also a division between different forces.
After some bargaining, the foreign pirate faction led by Zola Hegel and the Qiongzhou faction represented by Faul Chopin were both interested in maintaining the earlier cooperative relationship and made compromises with each other. It is not good for anyone to engage in division now, and it is not an empty word to help each other in the same boat, and no one can take advantage of it if the ship really sinks, but everyone still perceives a trace of alienation that is difficult to bridge.
"What is the captain's disease?"
"When will he get better?"
"Hey, can you cure it?"
Drake King, the ship's doctor, who felt that he had nowhere to do anything, was tired of dealing with the questioning and questioning of his companions, and he helplessly spread his hands to defend himself and said:
"The Earl's fever persists, and I have tried decoctions and bloodletting, but these methods have not worked, and now I can only use alcohol to wipe my body to lower the temperature. I hope that the ancestors and gods will protect the Earl and help him to stay away from the disasters and sufferings of the world. ”
At this time, Vena Dubov, who had dragged the sick body from the next room to visit Luo Zhengdao, was so pale that she walked a few steps to rest more like a sick person than the person lying on the bed, she sat on the side of Luo Zhengdao's bed with the help of others, and looked intently at the unconscious student.
Seeing this, Faul Chopin felt that the atmosphere in the room was more delicate, and coughed and said:
"Miss Vina, please take care of yourself as well."
Hearing the sound, it seemed that she heard some off-string sounds, and the half-elf beauty's face changed several times, and then she nodded and said:
"I will."
As always, losing his sense of autonomy in the outside world, Luo Zhengdao involuntarily wandered in the strange dream world, and this time he couldn't even find the Eternal Library. As far as the eye could see, gray-white haze shrouded everywhere, and the sky and earth were just a boundless chaotic world.
As if close to Luo Zhengdao's ear, a sharp voice that sounded very noisy shouted:
"Who do you think you are? Mankind! What power do you have to decide the life and death of others? You are guilty of being an impostor, a shameless and obscene pirate, a murderous and vulgar executioner. ”
I don't know what the source of this voice is, Luo Zhengdao didn't plan to deal with the other party at first, until he was annoyed by the noise, so he retorted angrily and said:
"I just want to live, is that too much to ask? If you don't want to live, who is it to question me? ”
Like the melting snow in the spring sun, those noisy noises disappeared in Luo Zhengdao's ears, leaving only a death-like emptiness. He thought about it in a trance, since he couldn't find a way out, then wait patiently, Luo Zhengdao sat cross-legged on the ground, watching the fog around him change, waiting for this inexplicable situation to change.
