Chapter 39: Pursuit at Sea
Above the six-color thorn flower banner is a long line of blood-red maritime warning and distress flags, which are the highest level of early warning signal flags used by the six federations of the East China Sea.
If there are regular naval vessels of the Six Nations Federation nearby, they will definitely come to the rescue as long as they see this kind of distress flag.
Boatswain Tom stood on the bow of the ship and pointed an arm-thick iron cylinder at the sky.
With three muffled sounds, three blood-colored pillars of fire the size of a human head rushed into the air, shattering a gray-white floating cloud in the sky and exploding three red fire balls with a diameter of tens of meters.
A dull loud noise spread far away, and the blood-colored light could be clearly seen for dozens of miles.
Seeing that the White Rose was hoisting a signal flag and sending an emergency signal, the four ships of the Brute Pirates in the rear chased more and more closely.
With a long shout, several Wind Abilities of the Brute Bone Pirates worked together to control the wind flow and push their own ships.
In just a few breaths, the largest pirate ship was less than fifty meters away from the White Rose.
At the bow of the pirate ship, the brazen man with copper-skinned skin and a height of two meters who stood beating the drum lowered his bone hammer. The distance is only fifty meters,
Everyone clearly saw that this strong man was only wrapped in a piece of animal skin under his crotch, and a large area of skin was exposed.
Beneath his copper-yellow skin were muscles that were almost inhuman, and they were not at all the angular muscles that humans could have, just like the granite that had been beaten by the wind and rain on the mountains for tens of thousands of years.
"Damn it, the big boss of the Brute Bone Piratesโthe Rock Strongman!" Old Captain Mogan groaned, and he shouted, "Artillery ready, bombard their ships fiercely!" โ
The six cannons, which were a full man's height, were pushed hard by the sailors to the stern, and the angle of the cannons was adjusted slightly, and with the order of the old captain, six cannonballs were fired out at the pirate ship behind.
Fifty meters apart, the guns were very well aligned, except for one shell that was more than a meter away and crashed into the sea by grazing the side of the opposing ship, the rest of the shells were heading towards the hull.
"These idiots, you think just a few shells can stop me?"
The boulder strong man on the boat let out a disdainful sneer.
Behind him, 4 or 5 second-order abilities suddenly rushed out and swung at the oncoming cannonballs.
These five people are all capable of the martial arts faction, and they shouted at the same time, drew their spears from behind them, and projected them at the cannonballs.
Bang bang bang!
A continuous explosion sounded in the sea between the White Rose and the Brute Pirates.
The long-awaited image of the Brute Pirate Ship being hit by a cannonball did not appear, and the cannonball was detonated by a spear in mid-air, and at the same time, the distance between the two ships was already a little closer.
"! Ink, add some ice for me! Everyone, who are the ice powers, come and do us a favor! โ
With a spew of expletiveness, Sox took the Frost Scroll from the bag and threw it directly at the surface of the sea in front of the Bone Pirates.
Ink and three other ice abilities stepped forward, and at the same time unleashed their ice abilities on the surface of the sea where the scroll fell.
Boom!
Click!
The Frost Scroll unfolded on the surface of the sea, creating a small cloud of frozen area at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after being desperately amplified by the ice abilities of the Mo and the others, the freezing range suddenly increased.
From a radius of one meter, it quickly expands to a radius of 3 meters or 4 meters......
Boom!
The ships of the Brute Bone Pirates collided with this frozen sea with a range of more than ten meters, and their speed was immediately slowed down!
"Hahaha, Master's Frost Secret Technique, it's not for nothing!"
Mo stood in the wind, a smug laugh coming out of his mouth.
Seeing that the ship was blocked, a sneer appeared at the corner of the giant stone man's mouth, his right fist was raised violently, his muscles squirmed, and then he punched out towards the sea in front of him.
Rumble!
The visible air cannon was sent out from his fist, and the ice on the sea surface suddenly spread countless cracks under this punch, and finally shattered!
Mo's laughter stopped abruptly, and he shouted at the old captain, "Brother, this guy is probably close to a fifth-order ability!" โ
The old captain muttered, "Okay, okay, I can only do it, God forbid the White Rose to escape!" โ
Raising the machete, the old captain Magan shouted: "It's time to fight in hand, everyone prepare!" The Federation has a bounty, and the heads of the Brute Bone Pirates are worth 200 gold coins for those with ordinary abilities! There's a lot of gold waiting for us! โ
Simple and crude incentives actually work very well.
The sailors and passengers shouted in unison, and their morale suddenly rose.
"Kill!"
The sailors on the White Rose shouted in unison, and stood in a neat phalanx behind the old captain. Boatswain Tom and some capable sailors were firmly at the old captain's side.
The rest of the passengers, who are basically capable, occupy other positions, condescendingly ready to attack from a distance.
The six guns were still constantly reloading and bombarding the pirate ships in hot pursuit, at least they could wear down the opponent.
I have to say that fortunately, the White Rose is not an ordinary merchant ship, it is precisely because the sailors on it are fierce, and the passengers are all capable people like Sox, so everyone can still maintain the belief of resistance in such a situation.
If it was an ordinary merchant ship that met the Brute Bone Pirates, those passengers would have dared to resist and surrender directly.
Of course, the existence of ink is also an important reason to give everyone confidence.
At least Mo is also a fourth-order ability, although he is very young and seems to be a bit prodigal, but at least it can make the Brute Bone Pirates a little jealous.
.......
When the ship of the Brute Bone Pirates chased twenty meters away, a thin middle-aged man standing beside the boulder strong man let out a strange laugh, he raised his hands into the air, and a cloud of gray energy swirled rapidly around his palms, and in just one breath, it swelled to a meter in diameter.
Seeing that the gray ball of energy was about to condense successfully, the old captain Mogan suddenly shouted, "Whale Hunting Fork!" Give him a hard blow! โ
A dull boom sounded, and the Magical Whale Hunting Fork, which had been purchased with a lot of money, had been transported to the stern of the ship, and a black light shot out of it.
This was originally a large-scale killing weapon to hunt narwhals, and it was difficult for the giant stone strong man to resist in a hurry, so he grabbed the thin middle-aged man beside him and pulled him aside.
Although the whale hunting fork did not hit the target, it still pierced deep into the cabin of the pirate ship, and then with a loud bang, a large amount of broken wood was blown up, and several close pirates were blown out with a miserable howl, blood glistening in the sun.
Although the thin middle-aged man escaped, the gray energy that was condensing in his hand suddenly couldn't be condensed, and the interrupted magic power backlashed and made the thin middle-aged man spit out a mouthful of blood.
What's even worse is that the energy mass condensed with magic power lost control, and the thin middle-aged man was so frightened that he threw it out, and the one-meter-square energy mass flashed a strong light, and a circle of gray air waves swept out, and more than a dozen pirates standing near the bow of the ship were thrown off the ship in embarrassment.
