Late at night, the sea is quiet.

There is no wind in the Bay of Biscay tonight, the calm sea is as clear as a mirror, and the sea and sky are opposite to the two bright moons, which is so beautiful that people are intoxicated and obsessed.

Lorraine remained in the bow.

He closed his eyes, bent his legs, hummed an unknown tune, and leaned his back against the Scott ballista.

The main arrow of the cable on the ballista has been removed, and now it is placed together with the spare arrow that is not connected to the cable, and it is neatly arranged next to the ballista.

The crew is also ready.

The hunky Kren paced restlessly on the main deck with his sledgehammer on his back and his newfound cable breaker at his waist.

Henna stayed on the high lookout, her emerald eyes looking at the land, motionless, like a sculpture.

During the meal, Lorraine announced to the crew that there would be a battle tonight, against Roma, an indefinite number and unknown combat power, and put Pierce and Noah in the cockpit on this pretext.

Pierce was a bit resistant to being alone with a witch, but as an English gentleman, he could neither oppose the captain's orders nor refuse to protect the lady.

So, there will be no drag bottles on deck tonight.

The group waited for nearly three hours, calmly or unquietly, and when it was almost ten o'clock, Henna jumped down the sail and swung to Lorraine's side.

Lorraine slowly opened his eyes: "Coming?" ”

"Five dinghys, not long offshore, four fast, one slow."

"It seems that Noah's three cousins are not as united as they seem."

Lorraine patted her ass to her feet and gestured toward Cronby. Clen's footsteps slammed, and his first reaction was...... Pull out the cross around your neck, light it to the outside of your clothes, and start praying aloud.

Henna frowned and glanced at him, and whispered to Lorraine, "Do you think he and Noah can get along?" ”

"He's an open-minded believer, but he's not used to his new companions yet, and he'll be fine in two days."

"Really?"

"Yes, because he couldn't find a better captain than me." Lorraine tightened the rope with the knife and smiled, "You don't understand white people. If he could give up even his salary, there would be nothing in this world that could stop him from staying on this boat. ”

The two of them joked quietly, and at the end of their eyes there was finally a trace of the dinghy.

The bow of the Beauty was facing the landing, first one on the front of the bow, then one on the east, and soon two more, followed by the last.

Karen prayed and finished.

He strode onto the bow deck, his eyes resolute, like a blessed saint warrior.

He said in a deep voice, "Captain, there are only two boats at the angle of the fishing fork cannons. ”

"I see ......" Lorraine clicked and pulled the noose open, and Clen leaned over to press the arrow.

Nearly 300 meters apart, Lorraine pushed the turntable to aim at the dinghy at the edge of the firing angle, and did not hesitate to fire it.

Buzz a long beep!

The huge fishing fork shot out of the bow of the Beauty like lightning, and struck the raised bow of the small boat with a thud, shattering the planks and almost blasting a third of the boat to pieces.

The dinghy began to sink, screams rose in the night air, the Roma on board jumped into the water in panic, and the bow dinghy began to turn, hoping to escape the range of the fishing fork guns.

Lorraine ripped the noose again.

The second arrow, inspire!

With a loud bang, the fleeing dinghy was facing the ballista, and was torn in two by Lorraine's cannon, and two Roma were hit by the crossbow bolts, blasted to pieces, and blood stained a large area of the ocean.

In the midst of the screams in the sky, Henna quickly reported the count, two rounds of crossbow arrows, a total of two people died instantly, and fourteen people fell into the water.

Lorraine let go of the ballista and took off his boots on the side of the ship: "Henna, you and Clen are here to deal with the other two boats, remember to kill fewer people." ”

Henna hummed softly.

Karen was surprised: "Captain, you want to go into the water?" ”

"This battle is not over merely fighting off the devil, my dear Karen." Lorraine's hand was raised, "For this kidnapping, Henna and I have been planning for three whole days." ”

With a long laugh, Lorraine leaped high and plunged like a fish into the calm waters of the Bay of Biscay.

Poof!

……

The Roma boarded the ship.

Centuries of wandering have not only enabled every Roma to sing and dance, but also to be accustomed to discrimination and persecution, and to be able to calmly ignore accidents and deaths.

It's a kind of bravery that is different from that of the Vikings, but the result is no different.

Lorraine's overly accurate ballistas didn't scare them away, and the two dinghys outside the firing angle still quickly approached the Beauty moored in the sea.

They threw on the hooks they had prepared, climbed up the sides of the ship, and all of them were agile.

Karen's cable breaker had only cut two hooks, and the Roma had already stepped onto the deck with short swords. He regrettably gave up the operation of chopping ropes and unleashed his sledgehammer to deal with the attacks of multiple enemies.

Henna, who defended the starboard side, was much easier.

She had eight red velvet knives, and if Lorraine hadn't forbade her to kill, she could have pinned all the enemies to the boat when the dinghy approached.

And now......

Considering that such a handy flying knife could only be replenished in Stavanger, she suddenly felt that Lorraine's real intention in not letting her kill was actually to put her opponent on the deck to facilitate the recovery of subsequent flying knives.

She felt that Lorraine was really thoughtful.

Henna was very happy, glancing at the situation of the battle with Karen, and making sure that the boatman was not in danger of being injured for the time being, so she waited for all her opponents to board the ship.

The Roma, who were good at singing and dancing, did not disappoint her, and in a matter of moments, eight men climbed onto the deck in unison, and in an arc in front of her, wielding short swords, cautiously approaching.

Henna turned into a spinning top.

Under the peony-like blooming robe, eight streamers shot out in one breath, aggressively, piercing the feet of all eight opponents.

The Roma fell down screaming.

She didn't pay attention to the outcome in front of her, and after throwing away the throwing knife, she turned around and entered Karen's warband......

Lorraine wanders the shallow sea like a flying fish.

The double knife out of the sheath, held horizontally at the sides of the body, is the broad pectoral fin of the flying fish, the legs swing, the soles of the feet are slow and powerful, and it is the tail fin in the shape of the flying harpoon.

It's just that flying fish like to jump out of the water and glide in the air, while Lorraine is only underwater, less than a meter above the water, and there is no need to even float up and breathe.

He skimmed the Roma who had fallen into the water, dived sharply, and slid like a ghost under the feet, and in a moment approached the dinghy farthest from the battlefield, slowly rising to the bottom of the boat.

This is a standard small river ferry wooden boat, which belongs to the same standard as the small boat used as an assault boat on the Beauty, with a length of 5 meters and a width of 1.5 meters, with a slender overall head and a wide tail.

Lorraine put away the knife, opened his big hand and gently hugged the hull, and then his arm exerted force and began to shake.

Crash!

Crash!

His shaking became more and more violent, and the people in the boat began to fall into the water.

The first to fall into the water was a relatively young Romani woman, whose eyes widened in horror when she saw Lorraine underwater, and spat out a large number of bubbles.

The second and third people fell into the water one after another, and among them was a man.

Lorraine pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, rolled over and drew her knife, and kicked it on the side of the bottom of the boat.

This time the shaking was more violent than any previous one, and two people fell into the water at once.

They saw a ghost underwater, carrying a long knife in his hand, and stabbed the man in the belly.

The bubbles mixed with blood poured out, and Lorraine lifted his foot to kick him away, drawing the knife, and swam towards the second man in the water......
