Chapter 25: The Path of Exile II

"They opened fire."

Fang Yuan watched silently as the petal-like cannon flames bloomed on the Osin Silver Flame, and the cannonballs whistled over Cloud Island and slashed across the airspace pointed by the Seven Seas Traveler's mast.

"It was warning shot," Mr. Baggins said, "and they wanted us to stop." ”

Fang Yu nodded, "Then let them get their wish." Their guns are newer than the antiques we found from the pirate ships, and they have a longer range and more power than us. We don't have an advantage in long-range combat, just bring them closer. ”

With that, he turned back and said in a calm voice, "Miss Tata, lower the sails." ”

As the Seven Seas Traveler slowly stopped, a cheer erupted from the Osin Silver Fire:

"They've stopped!"

"Okay, get up there!"

"But be careful, they'll definitely want to give it a try."

But there is no need to say much, everyone is not a fledgling hairy boy, although the people who can go to the sky and sea are not comparable to the members of the brigade, but they are also the core elites of the guilds.

The members of the Silverfire Ohin took a step closer to the side of the ship, each with a sword in his hand.

The Warrior and Ranger also took their positions, and after a while the Magus took to the air for the second time, far behind the Orshin Silver Fire.

The mast was full of crew members, mostly Nightingale and Shadow Blade, armed with cables, ready to jump into the gang.

The speed of air and sea navigation is actually not fast.

The two ships could see each other early in the morning, but it had taken almost four Tariakes to this moment from the second time the Orshin Silver Fire appeared from behind the clouds, nearly an hour.

The Seven Seas Traveler relied on its last inertia to slip into the island of clouds, revealing only a few masts.

The Oxin Silver Fire is also gradually approaching Cloud Island.

"Get around!" Their leader shouted that he was a tall knight of Diperan, a heavily armored greatsword warrior whose metal hand armor pressed to the hilt of his sword clenched and loosened in a look of excitement.

The Oxin Silver Fire made a half-arc around Cloud Island, and the swaying wings were like snow-white fins.

The distance between the two is quite close, less than two chains.

At this distance, it was enough to see the stern of the Seven Seas Traveler quietly docked behind Cloud Island.

On the stern of the Seven Seas Traveler, a fat man and a lionon man pushed an antique cannon together, so that the muzzle of the black hole hole was facing them.

The fat man straightened up, looked in this direction, and waved his hand at them.

The captain of the Osin Silver Fire couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this scene, picked up the communication crystal and shouted:

"Full rudder left, raise the shield!"

But the big cat man has already activated the magic circle on the artillery.

Flames erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, and the cannonballs whizzed over the Orhin Silverfire, blasting through the silver shield that had not yet had time to form, and exploding above the starboard side of the ship. It was a flowering bomb, and the shrapnel that exploded was like a metal storm on the Osin Silver Fire.

Patches of gray or blue numbers rose from the sides of the ship, and it was a loss of dodge and block value - if it were the Age of Sails on Earth, this cannon would have been enough to reimburse most of the people gathered on deck.

But this is a fantasy world after all, and only a few people on the Orshin Silver Fire have fallen.

The shrapnel clanged into the heavy mage armor of the heavy classes, and had no effect other than a few dents.

It's just that the hull of the Oxin Silver Fire shook violently, and Captain Elan almost had to hold on to his desk to stand firmly, but years of experience made him immediately happy - the other party used a flowering bullet, and if this round was live, it would be enough to make a hole of about three meters in the bow of the ship, and the loss would be great.

The intermittent voice of the communication crystal gradually reported the loss:

The two masts were damaged to varying degrees, and three of the four sails of the foremast had several large holes, and the remaining one was not much different from the rags.

The flanking sails were also damaged to varying degrees, and the Orhin Silver Fire lost at least twenty percent of its maneuverability.

Two sailors were dead, and the Chosen One should have suffered losses as well, but the other party did not inform him, and Elan inquired about the consumption of the sacred aether on the ship.

But it's okay, it's much lighter than expected.

The other party was bent on killing the people on the deck, and missed the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on them.

Still too young.

He flicked his fist with some indignation, there were seven guns on the two gun decks on each side of the Silver Fire, but he thought about it for a moment and gave up the command to return fire.

The thought of a bounty still haunted him.

In fact, everyone thinks the same thing.

"Don't stop, lean over," shouted the leader of the Orhin Silverfire, rising from the deck, "their artillery has a limit on the nearest firing range, seize the opportunity for the other side to reload!" ”

They weren't too worried that the Seven Seas Traveler would take the opportunity to escape, and if they did, the best chance was before.

At the moment, the two ships were almost close together, and the fourteen guns of the Osin Silver Fire were not an ornament.

"That was their last fight back beforeβ€”β€”!" That's what almost everyone thinks.

The Orhin Silverfire was slowly adjusting its direction, turning around in mid-air and flanking towards the Seven Seas Traveler.

The distance between the two ships quickly approached, and soon narrowed from two chains to less than a hundred meters.

For the first time at this distance, the guns fired a fire, and the smoke filled the air with a sound like fried beans.

But in the turbulent environment of the air and sea, there was little accuracy in projecting weapons at a distance of 100 meters, and the lead bullet hit the side of the ship with a cloud of sawdust, but it hardly hurt the people behind.

Alyssa was looking out, her sharp gaze seeming to pierce the smoke.

She looked at the shadows behind her that were like heat and infrared, and while watching, she spoke: "Sixty-three people, half of them are aboriginal sailors, and the ones who can really fight are the remaining ones, the Great Sword Warrior, the Blood Seeker, the Shadow Blade, the Nightingale, the Gunner, and the Magister, and the other party's configuration is so biased towards attack." ”

"There may be more in the cabin below." Tang Xin sat behind a mast, holding Milella's healing staff in her hand. Ai Xiaoxiao was by her side, responsible for protecting the only full-time pastor on their team.

Alyssa nodded in agreement.

But her face suddenly changed, and she shouted: "Be careful, they're coming!" ”

The sailors brought out by Elan, who were quite sophisticated, and it was not the first time they had experienced a battle in the air and sea, and they quickly recovered from the previous confusion, pulling the cable to make the sails of the Orshin Silver Fire sideways.

The huge three-masted galleon leaned towards the Seven Seas Traveler, and the advantage of the larger ship's higher freeboard was on full display, and the combat pros on the Osin Silver Fire could reach the top of the Seven Seas Traveler by jumping down with a swing rope.

It was only when they jumped that they realized that the problem was not so simple.

The first to come over was naturally the Nightingale, a profession with high dexterity such as the Shadow Blade, and these people were still in mid-air, and they saw the square plover below-

Fang Yu was also looking up at these people.

He was dressed in an unmarked coat, and he didn't have any extra weapons in his hands, and the magic furnace was hidden behind him, and the people on the Orshin Silver Fire didn't tell his profession for a moment, and then they saw his left hand being raised, and the glove on his left hand.

The gloves covered with mechanical components look a little unique-

In all of Aitalia, there is only one class that uses them.

Fang Yuzheng turned around and said to Miss Naturalist:

"Dispel the illusion."

His voice was not high.

Ten black constructs were emerging from behind him, their slender bodies, their pointed hats glowing with a little red light, their knees half-crouched on the ground, their mechanical arms holding up a long magic tool.

The black muzzle of the gun is pointed at the target in mid-air.

"What's that......?"

People couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

They already knew that there was a combat craftsman on this ship. However, the advantage of the combat craftsmen is that they have more fights and fewer and excellent reconnaissance skills, and they obviously have more manpower than the number of people, and the combat craftsmen in their early twenties do not have a flexible structure that is very handy.

Compared to the reconnaissance ability, in the case of the wind element detector above the air and sea, the exploration scale of the battlefield is obviously beyond the limit of ordinary combat craftsmen, and at least more than twenty combat craftsmen have no chance to compete with large elemental detectors.

Generally speaking, the combat skills of the Battle Craftsmen are strong above Kukai, but that refers to those who are high enough to control the Pseudo-Dragon Knights, not a guy who has just left the novice stage.

The only question is, what is the model number of these structures in front of you?

When the nightingales in mid-air saw the magic guide gun in the hands of the dragon hunters, they already had a bad premonition in their hearts, and most of them were veterans, and immediately instinctively made evasive moves.

Fang Yu waved his hand: "Fire." ”

The dragon hunters half-knelt on the ground, and pulled the trigger in unison with the shoulder of the gun, and golden flames gushed out from the black muzzle of the gun, like ten golden threads, and the nightingales on the Oxin Silver Fire in mid-air staggered.

The Nightingales invariably let go of the cable and dodged the shot, but their balance and evasion values dropped dramatically in mid-air. Then they saw that the dragon hunter pulled the mechanism on the magic bolt, causing the smoking shells to bounce to the ground, turning the chamber of the gun, and then raising the gun again.

"Holy!"

That's probably the unanimous thought in the minds of all nightingales - this thing is bursting!

They can only subconsciously raise the double blades in their hands, trying to block this shot, the block value of the dexterity profession is not high, but the flexible construction in the early twenties, or burst shots, the damage should not be high, right?

With this in mind, I saw a golden flame flash in the air, exploding a dazzling spark, and those nightingales were already shocked by the terrifying attack power of the dragon hunters before they could shout an MMP with wide eyes.

The block value was instantly cleared, and the blade in their hands flew out, and the lead bullet continued to move forward, piercing through the armor value of the dexterity profession, which was better than nothing, and then piercing the body, breaking bones, and sending a blood mist through the internal organs.

Only a few people were lucky enough to dodge this blow, but Fang Yu didn't give them much of a chance, he directly let the dragon hunter shoot all the remaining four remaining bullets in one go, in addition to beating those guys in mid-air into a sieve, he also piled up a round of fire covering the Oxin Silver Fire.

As a giant magic guide gun dedicated to the construct, the Imperial Eleven style is much more powerful than the small toothpicks used by those gunners on the Oxin Silver Fire, otherwise it would not have such a ridiculously high attack power, and this round of shooting almost directly knocked the opposite side dumb, so that no one dared to fight back for a long time.

When the smoke cleared, all that remained of the Osin Silver Fire was a pothole.

After a round of shooting, Fang Yu didn't let the dragon hunter reload again, he had specially tested it before, and without showing off his skills, it would take at least a few minutes for the Imperial Eleven to reload. On the battlefield, how can there be that American time.

He only told the dragon hunters to retreat in unison, and then spoke:

"Hold the knife."

This was said to Miss Tata.

Without the help of Miss Tata and Fairy Heart, he wouldn't have been able to control so many dragon hunters.

I saw that the slender structures took a step back, their bodies lowered, their center of gravity forward, their left hand pressed on the storage device of the True Ancient Sword, and their mechanical right hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword.

Of course, the people on the Osin Silver Fire were not stupid, they were covered by the previous round of firepower of these inexplicable constructs, but hiding behind the thick planks of the ship, it was not a big problem for a while.

At this point, the shooting stopped, and the men suddenly got up again. Before the president could see Fang Yuan's movements, he had already jumped up and shouted, "They are out of bullets, gunslinger, suppress the fire, don't let them have a chance to reload!" ”

At the same time, he turned around and gave an order: "Second echelon, up!" ”

At this moment, the two ships were already extremely close, and the heavy armor profession that had not jumped the gang before was ordered, and immediately crossed the side of the ship and jumped down.

It's just that before they landed, they saw a person walking out from behind Fang Yu.

I saw that the other party was wearing a strange outfit, a trench coat and a vest, with a high collar, and a pointed wizard hat, almost showing only one eye outside.

The eye, however, was very smart, and he raised it and gave them a cold look, while the other man held a short staff in one hand and pushed it in their direction with the other.

"Magician!"

The guns on the ship couldn't help but shout, and in general, when fighting on the empty sea, the spellcaster class would fly high first, in case it was covered by cannon fire on the narrow battlefield - just like before.

And they rarely see someone who stays on deck to fight like this, either with full self-confidence, or with a broken brain.

But apparently, the box was neitherβ€”he just didn't know about it.

The gunners immediately raised their guns and took aim at them. And the magicians on the other side in mid-air were obviously not vegetarians, and the moment the box appeared, they also raised their staffs and prepared for confrontation.

Battles between mages are often not direct confrontations, and the way mages fight is to dismantle each other's spells and suppress each other's spell abilities.

It's just that as soon as these people made a move, their faces were a little tense-

Because they found that the speed of forming a spell was not at all comparable to the young man on the other side, who seemed to be incomparably middle-two, and their level was even higher, but the other party didn't seem to need time to prepare for the spell at all, and with a push of his hand, the spell was completed.

The four mage's interference spells in mid-air almost all missed, and only one of them kept up with the speed of the box slightly, but only landed on the heels of the other man.

The box only paused at the end, but immediately added a spell in his mind in a silent way, ignoring the people above, and only gently pushed his hand forward. At that moment, in the eyes of everyone, the force field generated in the void was like a ripple between the two ships.

The span of that ripple was a bit amazing, and even Fang Yu rarely saw the box use such a large range of force field spells, so he couldn't help but look back.

I saw the transparent ripples move forward, sweeping a distance of less than thirty meters in the eyes of people that people had never heard of, and then hit the heavy armored soldiers who were flying in mid-air.

At that moment, as if they had been struck by a huge fly swatter, those people flew directly upside down, crashed into the side of the ship, and then rolled down the sea of clouds.

And the ripple continued to move forward, sweeping the starboard side of the Oxin Silver Fire, and at that moment the whole ship leaned back slightly, and squeaked and rattled with a tremor.

"Holy!" Luo Hao almost didn't jump up when he saw this scene, "What did that guy give you!?" ”

The box looked down at his silver-gray gloves and hesitated for a moment.

It was a gift that X gave him and Ai Xiao before leaving, one for each person.

The Oxin Silver Flame, which produced a rollover, also caused the guns on the side of the ship to lose their targets one after another, and they were shaken for a while.

"What are you eating!?" The leader was stunned, and couldn't help but hold the side of the ship with one hand, and turned back to curse at the magicians in midair. Four people can't stop one person, not to mention that the other party's level is even lower.

The four mages suspended in mid-air also looked at each other, but sometimes the proficiency of the spell really didn't depend on the level, just like the combat craftsman - the value of the system could only play a supporting role in battle.

Only then did the president turn around, and the two rounds of blows finally made him realize that the opponent in front of him might not be as easy to bully as he imagined. The Nightingale was almost wiped out, and the Great Sword Warriors lost half of them, but the battle had to continue, and he suddenly had an idea, and he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Crash over, let the boat crash over, get on the gangplank-"

He seemed to have finally realized that the Oxin Silver Fire could still play to the advantage of its size.

But it was at this time that the Seven Seas Traveler, which had not moved all of a sudden, began to slowly turn its sails and move at an unbelievable angle.

It would be almost impossible for a sailboat to move in such a way in a normal person's imagination, but the Seven Seas Traveler is not bound by common sense, it is constantly adjusting its sails and tail fins, slowly floating, and rising to almost the same height as the Orsin Silver Fire.

It all happened so suddenly that Ellan, the captain of the Silverfire Ohin, didn't even have time to give the order for the guns to fire. Of course, in fact, because the process of turning from static is too fast, in fact, even if he gives the order, the gunners may not have time to react for a while.

The Nanami Traveler, which had risen up, had no intention of escaping, but only took the first step to face them, and suddenly crashed into the side of the ship.

At that moment, there was a loud bang, and the Orshin Silverfire almost let out a long moan, and leaned to one side, and everyone on board was knocked to the ground at the same time.
