Chapter 277: The Battle on the Sea

"Woo......... Woo!! ”

At Captain Fawkes' order, the lookout immediately climbed to the watchtower of the mast, and then blew the horn loudly. Soon, the Crow began to slow down, and at the same time, the sailors also pushed a magic cannon to the edge of the ship's armor, which is a weapon similar to the appearance of artillery, but uses magic energy to fire cannonballs, although its attack power and range are similar to artillery, but because it does not need to be ignited with gunpowder, it only needs to be triggered by hedron to fire cannonballs, so it has long replaced artillery and become a self-defense weapon used by ordinary merchant ships and cargo ships in the Overworld.

After all, for ships on the sea, storms and waves are their worst enemies.

The shields that had been fishing on the sides of the hull were also pulled up by the sailors, supporting inward and stuck on the edge of the ship, and soon the ordinary merchant ship became a mobile fortress on the sea. Captain Fawkes also strode to the rudder, raised the monocular in his hand to look at the other side of the sea, and then, Captain Fawkes's face changed.

"Oops!"

"Looks like we're in trouble?"

With the help of magical vision, Fang Zheng of course also clearly saw the three shadows emerging from the side of the sea at this moment. At the head of it was a luxurious passenger ship, and just by looking at its glossy appearance and shining emblems, you could tell that this ship must have belonged to some nobleman of considerable fame and status.

Unfortunately, the ship was now completely devoid of its original majesty, its hull was full of black marks from the explosion and the raging flames, and the raised white sails were also riddled with holes, like a cobweb ravaged by a storm.

Behind the ship, two pirate ships were chasing after it like hungry wolves, and the speed of the three ships seemed to be about the same, but in comparison, the ship that was desperately fleeing in front of it was obviously a little unsupportable. Not only did it have to avoid artillery fire from the rear, but it even had to worry about other troubles.

That's magic.

"Boom, boom!"

Fang Zheng saw a series of fireballs shoot out from one of the black flag pirate ships, striking the target in front of him. And soon, in front of the fireball, the flickering magic light formed a barrier to block the bombardment of the fireball, and for a while, the fire burst out, and countless flames erupted, although it was not able to directly cause damage to the target in front, but Fang Zheng could still clearly see that the tail of the ship had begun to smoke and catch fire, and its speed began to decrease because of this.

"It's bad luck, it's the devils who should be damned!"

Seeing this scene, Fawkes also showed a look of fear on his face, while Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"You know them?"

"Of course, sir, as long as you are begging for a living in this sea, there is no one who does not know the name of the 'Devil Saan' pirate group, I heard that their head is a mage, and through the transaction with Hell, he has transformed him and his men into some kind of evil and powerful existence, they can use the flames from Hell at will, which is also a nightmare for everyone."

Saying this, Fawkes's expression became more and more nervous, and he clenched the telescope in his hand, his face pale.

"I didn't expect it to be them......... Damn, these guys aren't easy to deal with............! ”

"That is, a battle is inevitable?"

"I'm afraid it is."

Hearing Fangzheng's inquiry, Fox sighed helplessly.

"They are the most ferocious bandits in this sea, and it is rumored that almost no one will be able to come back alive in front of them, so I really didn't expect our luck to be so bad......... Sir, please go back to the cabin with a few young ladies and take shelter, it's not safe here. ”

"No, I don't think so."

But to Fawkes's surprise, Fang Zheng shook his head, rejected his offer, and then looked at the girls not far from him. Because they heard the sound of the horn, the girls who had been in the cabin had already walked out and stood on the deck and looked curiously at the battle in the distance. Even Kulia, who lay dead in her cabin as soon as she got on the ship——— was no exception to the poor child's first knowledge that he was suffering from an incurable disease called "seasickness".

At this time, the three ships were getting closer and closer to the Crow, and although Fawkes had ordered his ship to get out of the way, judging from the situation of the ship, it was really suspicious that it would sink completely in a short time.

At the same time, the three ships were naturally aware of the existence of the Crow, but the ship that fled in front of them obviously couldn't do anything, and the two pirate ships that followed did not hesitate to fire cannonballs at the Crow, although they were not able to hit the Crow, but their intentions were already obvious.

"Tilia."

"Yes, brother, what's the matter?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's call, Tilia smiled and walked in front of Fang Zheng, holding his arm coquettishly.

"Kill them, don't open them."

"Okay, please leave it to me."

Hearing Fangzheng's order, Tilia smiled sweetly, and then the sailors and Fawkes and others on the deck were surprised to see the aristocratic lady in a gorgeous pink dress quietly jump, and then the whole person stood on the top of the high mast like a dexterous bird, and then, Tilia raised the umbrella in her hand and aimed at the pirate ship in front of her.

The next moment, a bright red beam of light pierced the air and shot straight towards the pirate ship in front of him.

The energy beams condensed by the power of existence roared by, and even the surrounding air and sea water involuntarily gave way in the face of this strong pressure impact. And the mage on the pirate ship was obviously not stupid, and at the same time as Tilia made a move, he saw that the pirate ship suddenly appeared with black smoke, and then these smoke quickly condensed and turned into a hard and smooth mirror-like barrier, blocking the front of the pirate ship.

At the same time, Fang Zheng also raised his right hand.

Mysterious magical power leaped and formed at his fingertips, spreading out in an imperceptible fluctuation that entwined with the barrier opposite. In the blink of an eye, the barrier quickly crumbled and disintegrated. At the same time, with a flick of Fang Zheng's finger, a dimensional anchor suddenly flew out, enveloping the entire sea area.

At the same time, the beam of light shot by Tilia whistled through the spell barrier that was on the verge of shattering, and directly hit the pirate ship.

"Boom!!"

A bright red cloud of flame erupted from the middle of the pirate ship and went straight into the sky, and the explosion of the violent existential power only instantly burst the entire pirate ship like a balloon, and the raging power ruthlessly turned everything involved into dust and dust. Even the sea itself could not withstand the violent explosion and a huge cavity appeared, and the strong explosive force even appeared on the surface of the sea A huge whirlpool, which spun wildly to absorb everything around it, and in the blink of an eye, the wreckage of the pirate ship was completely submerged in the sea.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene, and everyone except Fangzheng, Nimfu, and Black Katy stared at Tilia standing at the top of the mast and the umbrella she was holding. The other pirate ship was not stupid enough to move on, and it frantically tried to turn around and retreat away, but its hull was only halfway turned, and another beam of light burst out from Tiria's umbrella, hitting the pirate ship's hull with such precision that after a few moments, the pirate ship was also completely destroyed like its companions.

"Good."

Seeing the scene in front of him, Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and then he glanced at Captain Fawkes, who was standing there dumbfounded, motionless.

"Now, the danger is gone."
