Chapter 12: Frontal Combat

"Put down the boat and get ready for battle."

In the face of the fish-men rushing towards this direction, the sailors on the battleships shouted one after another, and began to lower the boats hanging on the side of the ship, and the sailors and mercenaries jumped from the battleships to the small boats, ready to approach the fish-men.

After all, not all sailors can practice [Sailor's Basic Swordsmanship] to an extraordinary level, and when there is no way to move freely on the surface of the water, fighting on a small boat becomes their only choice.

Ryuji also jumped onto the boat, which at this time had already stood two people, one a mercenary and the other a sailor.

Seeing Liu Zhi jump down, the sailor said: "When the fishmen come over, kill the first batch of fishmen who rushed over as soon as possible, don't hesitate, there are a lot of fishmen, if we don't kill the first batch of fishmen at the first time, we will be forced to go down the boat, and we will no longer be the opponents of the fishmen after the water." ”

The mercenary didn't answer, but just prepared his weapon, and Ryuji noticed that the mercenary had a crossbow in his hand that could be tied to his hand.

Seeing that Liu Zhi was paying attention to himself, the mercenary also smiled, "Don't look at me like that, you can't do it." ”

Liu Zhi was still a little puzzled, and the sailor said: "He is a well-known marksman, so he dares to use a long-range weapon at this time, don't you see that we haven't even taken down the musket, the fishman's weakness is the tentacles on the side of the mouth, and the ordinary musket medicine on the fishman is at most to make them hurt, and it is better to use a musket to cut it with a knife." ”

"Yes, I'm very talented at crossbows, you see!" The mercenary shook his left hand with a crossbow strapped to it, and a crossbow flew out, and Ryuji clearly saw that a fishman who was rushing towards him fell like this.

And the crossbow bolt that flew out just now just cut off the tentacles of the left side of the fish-man's face and nailed it into the fish-man's left eye.

Liu Zhi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Can you teach me?" ”

"Of course...... No, for mercenaries, this is a small means to save lives, and it is the root of our mix, I won't teach you, but if you want to learn, you can study it yourself, as long as you are as talented as me, it won't take long. ”

Looking at the mercenary's arrogant appearance, Ryuji wanted to say something, when the sailor said, "Attention, the fish-man is rushing over." ”

Ryuji hurriedly turned his attention to the fishmen who rushed over, and at this time, the mercenary proudly fired three crossbow arrows, killing the three fishmen.

When the fishmen rushed to a distance of only five or six paces from them, the mercenaries replaced themselves with ordinary sailors' scimitars.

The fish-men at the front are the tide warriors of the fish-men, and when they approach the outermost boat, these fish-men actually jump on the waves.

At this time, Liu Zhi's left hand shook, and a net was thrown out by him.

The timing of Ryuji's shot was quite good, and it happened to be the key point of the fishmen's attack, and the net entangled one of the fishmen, and also smashed several other fishmen who jumped up along the way.

This time, the attack formation of the fish-man also became chaotic, and Liu Zhi didn't think much about it, took the initiative to jump forward, stepped on the waves and rushed forward a few steps, and the scimitar in his hand directly cut off the tentacles of the two fish-men.

Then Ryuji stepped back, and without looking to see if the two fishmen were killed in battle, he jumped on his back and fell onto the boat he was standing on.

It was only at this time that the fishmen rushed to the location of the boat and engaged in a scuffle with the sailors and mercenaries on the boat.

After a fight, Liu Zhi felt that it was too bad to fight on the small boat, this small boat is a sampan for ferrying, up to six people can sit, three people stand on the boat, there is no place to turn around, and when encountering the kind of tactics that need to open and close, they often can't let go of their hands and feet.

Especially when Liu Zhi practiced these days, he was all one-to-many, and he was used to constantly swimming to avoid the attacks of the fishmen, and this kind of place was the most unfavorable for him.

After cutting off the tentacles of the two fishmen, Ryuji simply rushed out of the boat again, stepping on the corpses of the fishmen and the waves, and launched a counter-charge against the fishmen.

Ryuji's actions attracted the attention of some people, but most of them just looked at it, after all, the battle had only begun now, and it was just a small mercenary, and it had not yet been put in the eyes of the commander.

At most, this mercenary's strength is a little stronger, and he has already raised the sailor's basic swordsmanship to an extraordinary level.

But soon some people noticed that Yanagi was different, and Yanagi seemed to know a lot about the fishmen, and every time the fishmen made a move, he could always easily dodge and take advantage of the opportunity of the other party's attack to cut the tentacles of the fishmen.

Even when the fish-man has some protection against the tentacles, he can also bring damage to the fish-man from other angles, which is the real power.

You must know that there were people who could do this before, but those were all masters at the level of swordsmanship, and with their rank, they were not willing to fight with the fishmen.

However, those sailors and mercenaries didn't know that Ryuji was full of resentment at this time, because now the experience of killing fishmen is getting lower and lower, and the professional tide warriors only have 8 or 9 experience points, and there is a tendency to get lower and lower.

Like Ryuji, who desperately fought into the army of fishmen this time, it can be said that he fought with his life, but the harvest was not as good as what he had gained in half a day in Tortuga Port.

Just as Ryuji was thinking about whether to retreat to the battle formation on the human side, he suddenly heard a drum beat.

The sound of the drums came from the back of the fish-man battle array, and Ryuji suddenly looked up in the direction where the drums came from, and found that there was a group of fish-people who looked even more powerful.

The fishmen were larger than normal fishmen, and their scales were no longer the grayish-white of the Stormy Clan, but a green color of seaweed, and in their hands they held shields made of shells or conchs in addition to maces made of coral.

It can be seen that these fish talents are the most elite troops of the Shocking Waves Clan.

And in the middle of these fish-men are two fish-men who look different, and the fish-man who chased and killed Ryuji last time is beating the drum heavily.

Although he had already changed mounts at this time, Ryuji could tell at a glance that he was the competitor that the game had arranged for him.

Beside him stood a large fish-man holding a coral trident, this fish-man was close to the height of a human, and his originally thin arms were full of bulging muscles, it was obvious that he was the kind of fish-man powerhouse that had been strengthened.

However, in his eyes, there was no killing feeling like an ordinary fishman, and he was like a shield, guarding Liuji's rivals.

Seeing this situation, Liu Zhi finally showed a smile on his face, he killed the fishman to study, and took the risk to participate in the fishman cleanup mission in Tortuga Port, for what, isn't it just for this moment?

Ryuji touched the contents of his backpack with his backhand, took a deep breath, and rushed towards the fish-man against the current.
