Chapter 256: Pirates Boarding the Ship (2)
In order to be able to do business peacefully and not conflict with pirates, Wilson, the pirate who was planted in his hands over the years, rarely killed him, and often put him back after a verbal warning.
But that doesn't mean Wilson is soft-hearted.
After so many years of sailing in neutral waters, it is impossible to have no lives under his command.
A soft-hearted sailor can't be a captain!
In the face of the White Wolf's relentless pursuit, Wilson finally became ruthless in his heart, his advantage lies in close combat, if the opposite side finds that it is his ship that will definitely keep his distance, then he will take the initiative to get close!
"Lift the sails!"
Wilson gave the order decisively.
Immediately, several sailors ran to the stern of the ship and dragged a heavy metal device out of the shade cloth and threw it directly into the sea, the moment the device came into contact with the water, it suddenly lit up with magic patterns.
The magic pattern released silver spatial energy to envelop the metal device, and the device gradually expanded and deformed, and in the blink of an eye, a dhow that could accommodate at least seven or eight people was assembled out of thin air!
Merchant ships typically carry four to eight powered sails with them to serve as lifeboats in the event of a shipwreck, but this kind of small boat, which is a condensed space technology, is not cheap.
In order to save money, the captain of a ship will have a kind of luck to buy defective products that cut corners, but Wilson has been sailing for nearly forty years, and he knows best that it is often this kind of luck that will harm the whole ship.
He was never vague about investing in the safety of merchant ships.
That's when his prudence helped.
Although the defective lifesail is not unusable, it is definitely not equipped with complete magic control equipment, and often has to rely on the people on the boat to paddle after falling into the water, and cannot sail automatically.
But a well-made lifesail does not have this problem.
The lifesail with the Magic Thruster can sail faster than even the average brig, and it is more flexible, as long as it is not a point back, it will basically not be hit by enemy shells!
"Robin, Vader, Sam...... Take the guy with me! ”
Wilson immediately drew his sword, which had not seen blood for a long time, and quickly ordered a few sailors who were good at melee combat to board the ship together, and then drove the sailboat straight in the direction of the White Wolf!
He's going to board the ship directly!
Levi came to the deck at some point, watched Wilson's actions, and nodded secretly, such a captain who can work hard for the whole ship is indeed a good captain who will be respected.
At the same time, he is also an excellent candidate who can make him feel at ease to cooperate.
At least he doesn't have to worry about him taking his goods privately.
The power sail moved steadily in the rough waves, and the opposite side also discovered Wilson's intentions for the first time, and the speed of the White Wolf slowed down, it seemed that they still knew Wilson's strength.
The merchant ship was now controlled by the second-in-command on the ship, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, even if he couldn't eliminate the other party, as long as he slowed down the speed of the White Wolf, the merchant ship could get out of danger smoothly.
Then, he habitually glanced at the lookout glass.
His face turned pale all of a sudden.
The next moment Wilson left the merchant ship, the shadows of two pirate ships appeared on the sea in the distance, the cyan canvas white wolf pattern was so clear, and there were two third-order white wolf ships!
"Jingle bell!"
He hurried to ring the alarm bell.
The bright bell is usually enough to be heard half a nautical mile, but at this time, Wilson, who had sailed far away, was blocked by the whistling of the wind and waves, and the bell could not reach their ears at all!
The power sails are still heading towards the White Wolf, while the other two White Wolves are already approaching the merchant ship from the other direction!
Through the looking glass, Drake could even see the pirates on the pirate ship excitedly brandishing their scimitars, ready to board the ship to kill!
It was a premeditated attack!
"How could it be...... Could it be that the incident was exposed? But this operation is only known to a few of us......"
Drake muttered to himself with a pale face.
He suddenly realized that one of the people who knew the inside story of the merchant voyage was accompanying Wilson!
"Oops!"
Drake chuckled inwardly.
But at this time, he didn't have time to take care of Wilson's safety, the crisis of the merchant ship was coming, and the other two White Wolves were coming from the front, the speed was extremely fast, and it seemed that the merchant ship was going to be intercepted directly!
They were convinced that the sailors on a merchant ship would not dare to gamble with the lives of all the passengers on the ship, so they would slow down.
It turns out they were right.
Drake couldn't help but slow down.
Even if two ships collide, the pirate can abandon the ship and jump into the other ship, but the passengers on board may not be in the water!
However, slowing down means being boarded by the other party.
Drake finally gritted his teeth and stopped the merchant ship, and he rushed out of the captain's room first, shouting, "All take up arms and prepare for broadside battle!" As long as you fight until the captain comes back, it will be a victory! ”
He saw Levi, but didn't say anything.
It was the duty of their sailors to guard the merchant ships, and the passengers on board were not obligated to help them in battle.
The remaining sailors soon gathered on deck, and each one looked at death as if they were at home.
Sailors who have been sailing these seas for many years know that if a merchant ship is hijacked, the passengers on board may be able to save their lives at the hands of pirates, but they are definitely certain to die!
Therefore, no one will flinch and be timid at this time, even the two male attendants have taken up arms and are waiting for them!
The two White Wolves soon approached.
"Bang bang bang!"
The sailors armed with firearms immediately opened fire.
However, the sea breeze had a serious impact on the accuracy of low-level firearms, which were separated by dozens of meters and were basically impossible to hit, and only two unlucky pirates were hit by falling bullets, which did not cause much damage.
"Whew!"
"Boom!"
Someone on the opposite side of the White Wolf launched an anchor hook projectile and nailed several hard steel cables into the hull of the ship, and the pirates who were already excited and couldn't wait immediately slid directly along the steel cables and boarded the merchant ship!
"Kill!"
Without a word, Drake's blood-red eyes roared, and he swung his sword and slashed at a pirate.
The battle is on the verge of breaking out!
"Kill them all!"
A high-ranking pirate commanded with an iron hook arm.
Levi looked at his attributes.
Iros: Level 40 Elite, 60,000 HP.
It's just a low-level elite monster.
The rest of the pirates were basically not above level forty.
But in the same way, the level of sailors is not much higher, and it is not as easy for NPCs to raise their level as that of players, and ordinary adventurers of the fourth and fifth orders are already considered to be relatively powerful existences.
A heroic character with sixth-order strength like Wilson can hold a position even in the four major legions of the empire.
And although the strength of sailors and pirates is about the same, they can't stand the large number of pirates, and the two White Wolves are loaded with at least a hundred pirates, which is ten times the number of sailors!
As soon as the face was revealed, there was a situation in which the sailors hung the lottery.
Levi knew he couldn't go to the show.
