Chapter 455: Outlaws
Wang An paced back and forth in the hut. Outside the hut, shrill whistles followed one after another, and occasionally two dying howls, which made people very uncomfortable.
"These reckless fish!"
He had sworn before that he had gone too smoothly and that no one would dare to take a big risk under the signboard of the three workshops. However, he forgets that this is a northern wasteland, which is very realistic, but by no means without madness.
Outside the hut, at least 100 people fought in the chaos ... No, it's a bloody heist going on. The ants broke through the protective barrier of the puffy clouds like outlaws, and then filled the huge puffy clouds. Battles take place almost everywhere.
Wang An is not worried about his safety. He was somewhat confident, and knew that this was a common tactic used by the sand-stealers active in North Badlands.
Sand thieves rarely catch huge floating clouds directly, because they have offended forces like Sanjiafang, and their goal is so obvious, they are simply dead. What the sand pirates prefer to do is to launch a surprise attack, break through the protection of the clouds and the ship in the shortest possible time, rush in, kill people, grab money, before the boatman's backup arrives, and even before the ship's core garrison reacts, then scatter in a hurry, break into parts, dodge the spotlight, and repeat the same trick.
In this process, the number of sand thieves is usually less than 10, but the number of outlaws they collect is usually in the hundreds. Most of the fugitives could not even control the flight of the spaceship, and they flew on the rudimentary space shuttle, like swarms of locusts, plundering the spacecraft everywhere. None of them will really achieve anything and escape without a hitch, but once they succeed, they will be rewarded handsomely.
The northern wilderness lacks everything else. Only this despair has never decreased.
Some of them are for money, others are purely for stimulation, and the latter is the most troublesome because this emotion is particularly contagious. Wang An heard the screams of extreme excitement outside, the sound became louder and louder, and the guards on the ship also suffered casualties.
They forced a compartment on the floating cloud ship to store the cargo, causing significant damage to the cargo. The power of the floating cloud ship was also affected. If we go back this way, several royal nobles will skin him alive!
Thinking of this, his gaze involuntarily glanced to the other side of the hut. There, a woman with her chin half-propped up looks out of the cabin window. It's like looking at the scenery, like being at ease. However, the delicate eyebrows without subtle blemishes are full of alienation and mockery that have nothing to do with themselves.
Looking at the delicate short circle texture and the soft curves that wrap around it under the muslin shawl, the king's chest seems to be on fire, and the same is true from the chest down.
Yuri, this little girl... He endured!
This woman herself is not a big deal, and her status at the beginning of the Dan rank is worse than that of him as the steward of the two major departments, but she can't tolerate this woman's concubine, but his third master's henchman has hung the number of "Keqing" in Sanfang, plus this woman's status is rising.
In fact, such a woman should stay at home and be her canary son. She washed well every day. When a man is lucky, she gets restless and runs outside all day. She even used her position as a concubine to intervene in the buying and selling of the three workshops. How could Wang Can'an, the housekeeper who came up from the bottom, not be jealous of such treatment?
But she's still in a natural position, and the lady's style is very, very fucking...
Wang An's mood was even worse. By this time, he had already selectively forgotten that it was he who was so fascinated by the beauty of others that he personally invited them aboard. Unfortunately, the next request for further intimacy was dismissed, leaving a clean face.
Why don't you let the sand thief in and see if this little girl's skin is still pretending!
After several similar thoughts, Wang An was not stupid enough. It's also dangerous to look at another cargo hold. He just gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and ordered: "Get down, get down!"
Today, the control center of the floating cloud ship is still firmly controlled by three routes. When Wang An's order arrived, the giant ship, which was nearly 20 zhang long and 4 stories high, slowly sank, but the speed was getting faster and faster. However, a mile below is a storm of black sand.
After a few more moments, the lower half of the big ship sank to the surface of the black dust storm. Since the entire ship's protective array in front had already been destroyed, it could only rely on the small methods of defense provided by the hull. Under the attack of black sand, which was enough to grind steel, the hull quickly wore away, and the sinking momentum did not weaken in the slightest.
There's a curse on the outside deck. The trash fish in the sand pirates jumped down like dumplings. The rough shuttle they were in fled in all directions. Some people do the opposite. They tried to enter the hut protected by the restraining order, but were blocked by the guards of the three workshops. Just as the Black Sand Storm was underway, the "Great Tide" was set off. The black sand filmed at the scene beat several unfortunate ghosts to the ground, and they couldn't survive.
In an instant, the situation on the floating clouds became clear. The guards in the three workshops definitely had the upper hand, and when he saw the big picture coming, Wang An was more nervous than relaxed.
"Uplift, Team Leader Liu, destroy the remnants of the cargo enemy, and the rest of the people are vigilant......"
Before the words fell, a strange cry of extreme excitement sounded, a red sword light fell from the sky, and a sword cut off a corner of the floating roof wooden house that had been damaged, and a monk avoided the black sand, and was shocked when he saw this, and wanted to resist, but his head was cut off by a sword.
The owner of the Crimson Sword Light was about to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the cabin, but a man jumped on the back deck to stop him. The two sides had only met once, but Dan did have a violent collision, and the top cabin was blown off most of the time.
Wang An knew that it would be like this, and those desperate people just spoke out. Frankly, it's the core power of the sandthief that makes people feel sick and have headaches. According to early battles, at least five of the sand thieves were the Huan Dan brothers. They form a core, offensive and defensive, seemingly scattered, but in fact very disciplined. Since the war, they have killed more than a dozen guards!
But most importantly...
There was a suffocating bang, the entire floating cloud ship shook, Wang An's head tightened, this time he didn't wait for his order, Liu Ye in the cargo hold had already rushed over first, and the two sides became a mess. With a rumbling sound, the hull collapsed again.
Wang An's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and there were at least three more!
It is possible that five sand pirates returned more than Dan in combat strength, while their total number in the Northern Famine did not exceed 20 people. His goods were of little value, equipped with protection according to the Class C standards of three workshops, and four returned Dan's combat effectiveness. Of course, this does not include him, nor does it include the temporary addition of Yuri and his guards.
According to theory, these three lanes still have an absolute advantage here, but attacking and defending against each other is not so simple. Sand thieves, who are good at looting tactics, will come and go as fast as they can. They also know how to take advantage of the harsh environment of black dust storms. Simple numerical superiority is not very useful.
In addition, he has been in business for many years and has been struggling for a long time. Yuri also looks like a commodity. If he does fight, he may still be a liability.
"Hurry up!"
Wang Anxin shouted in his heart to let the floating cloud ship sink into the black sand storm, which of course drove away the trash fish, but also gave the real core sand thieves a chance. Theoretically, the pros and cons are difficult to say. Upon investigation, the likelihood of eating, hanging, and falling is extremely high. If anything of special value is lost, it's more likely that he will be hanged!
Really, the really precious items are in the storage ring on his hand, but there are a few big treasures. Due to the size issues, they are still kept in the cargo hold, especially a monster skull that has been refined by natural lightning for many years. This is the best material for this device and is extremely valuable. He's pulled the rope before. If it is lost, his face and reputation will be lost!
The floating clouds were damaged in many places, and the power was not as abundant as it had been. At this moment, another figure descended from the sky. One to two!
Bitter!
Wang An groaned in his heart. At the beginning of the war, three core combat units of the Sand Thieves were taken away by two guards who returned from the ship. This time, two guards were blocked by another. The situation immediately took a turn for the worse.
Watching these two people come over and run directly to the cargo hold. Wang An was very anxious, and when she looked at You Rui again, the woman still looked at her leisurely appearance. The cynicism between her eyes grew stronger.
Good. Good. Good.
Wang An gritted his teeth with hatred, but he didn't have the courage to stop it. He just made up his mind in his heart that his goal was wrong: if he had the chance, I would let you, a woman, die!
As he cursed, he heard a buzzing sound outside the cabin, which made people's blood float.
Wang An was busy looking through the water mirror in the cabin. Not far from the perimeter of the floating cloud ship, he saw a flying object that looked like a boat. It broke through the last layer of the black dust storm and leapt into the void hundreds of miles high. A dark purple disc wrapped around it, shielding it from the sandstorm and leaving a very deep trail in the sky.
The thing came so fast that a sand thief who was pounced instinctively unleashed a multiplier to attack, which created a hornet's nest. Stimulated by the multiplier, the things outside, the thunder light rose rapidly, and then instantly engulfed the sand pirates. As the thunderbolt passed, the sand thief was scorched and plunged headlong into the black sandstorm that was still dead. After several rates, he also died.
Wang An was overjoyed: "Heaven will never stop me!"
