In the battle on the deck, Neutron Star had clearly gained the upper hand, and the scar-faced pirate, though very tall and fierce, was forced to retreat by him.

"Wow!"

However, the pirates obviously wouldn't let their leader fight alone, and a level 38 black pirate who had just climbed up shouted in a language that Fengluo didn't understand, and the AK47 in his hand was raised, and a string of bullets was fired at the neutron star.

"Whew!"

“-1201”

However, just as he pulled the trigger, an ice arrow hit the back of his hand, causing him to loosen his fingers that held the trigger in pain, and the AK47, which had just fired seven or eight bullets, suddenly went out.

"Bang!"

“-1899！”

An armor-piercing bullet then came from a direction on the left side of the deck, piercing the black pirate's throat directly, leaving only a corpse after the blood-red fatal wound.

The gun wasn't fired by the windfall, and it couldn't hit the pirate's throat in his position.

So the person who shoots, naturally, is a panther.

The Panthermen hid in a hidden position on the deck, firing every few seconds with a sniper rifle, each bullet taking a pirate's head.

After helping Neutron Star, Bing Liuli quickly released a skill to drive a large area of sea water to roll upside down, overturning the hovercraft used by pirates on the side of the cruise ship to sneak in, causing a pirate who had not yet climbed up to fall into the sea and be killed by her two skills.

The white crescent moon carrying the field medic quickly ran behind the neutron star and threw a healing kit with great precision, allowing the neutron star to drop about two-thirds of its HP and directly recover to nearly full value.

The Scarface Pirate Leader, who had already reached the end of his crossbow, was hit by a red fireball the size of a head flying from afar, devouring the last bit of blood.

When all the players on the ship participate in the battle, the battle of positions on the ship quickly has a result.

The NPC crew on the cruise ship lost three people killed and six wounded, two of them seriously wounded, and only ten crew members in total still retained their combat effectiveness.

However, the pirates, who numbered a total of twenty people, were all killed.

But the trouble isn't over yet, to be precise, it's just begun!

The Red Queen looked at the sea behind the ship, and although her face was as cold as ever, her slightly furrowed brow still showed her true mood.

About three kilometers behind the cruise ship, with the sun just above the sea level, you can see a pirate ship that is more than twice the size of the Gray Wing, which seems to be a converted abandoned warship.

In the gray seas, there are a large number of pirates.

They are entrenched on some of the islands in the depths of the ocean, robbing passing passenger and cargo ships, and doing similar things to the rebels, kidnapping players or NPCs as hostages and extorting money from the federal government.

The federal government forces have sent aircraft carrier fleets to clean them up several times, but each time they have not been completely wiped out, and there has been no shortage of pirates in the gray waters.

This is mainly due to the fact that the federal government does not have absolute control over the entire planet.

Although the federal government has been established for more than 30 years, the various non-state armed forces still control a total of more than 40% of the sphere of influence, which is why the rebels dare to directly attack the towns of the federal government.

Many of the pirates in the gray waters are backed by non-governmental armed forces, and even they belong to this illegal force, so it is impossible for the federal government to completely eliminate them.

Of course, these are the background information found on the game's official website.

In fact, a more reasonable explanation should be deliberately set up in this way by the game company.

There are many islands and seas in the gray sea area that have not been cleared out, and the monsters in them will explode a lot of rare special materials and items, and the benefits will definitely be high if you find one and then search for it, so in order to increase the difficulty, the system has set up a threshold for pirates.

As the saying goes, the greater the return, the higher the risk.

"The cruise ship is at maximum speed, can you get rid of them?"

Big Pineapple asked, holding the military telescope he used yesterday in his hand as he looked at the pirate ship behind him.

"No, the pirate ships are specially modified with power systems, and their speed is estimated to be close to 40 knots, and our ship is only 35 knots at the highest, so it is impossible to shake it off."

The bearded NPC shook his head from a gunshot wound in one of his arms, bandaged and hanging from his neck.

knots, which are the special units of speed, are equal to 1.85 kilometers per hour.

"Aren't we destined to finish the game?"

The big pineapple spread out her hands and looked at the red queen behind her.

Although the distance is a bit far, it is not possible to see too clearly with a telescope.

But judging from the size of the pirate ship, it can be judged that the ship can carry at least seventy or eighty people, and maybe even hundreds of people, after all, there must be supply points nearby that do not need to sail far, and the ship does not need to carry too much food, it can carry many people.

In this way, even if they had already eliminated twenty pirates just now, and the average level of these pirates was only about level 35, it would not be easy to deal with nearly a hundred.

What's even more troublesome is that the pursuit behind is a pirate ship converted from a warship, and there will only be more heavy weapons on board than on the cruise ship, and even if the seven players are strong individually, they are definitely at a disadvantage in the face of a large number of heavy weapons.

Heavy weapons are the player's name for weapons that cannot be detached and placed in a backpack and must be mounted on top of a vehicle.

For example, the six-barreled electromagnetic machine gun installed on the energy military vehicle encountered before the wind fell, the small energy cannon installed on the Tiger mecha, the small missile launcher, and so on......

SIMILARLY, THE 40MM CLOSE-IN DEFENSE GUN ON THIS ARMED CRUISE SHIP ALSO BELONGS TO THIS CATEGORY OF WEAPONS.

Most of these weapons are powerful, with terrifying area damage or destructive abilities, making them almost impossible to fight head-on with the current player's strength.

For example, the six-barreled electromagnetic machine gun on the rebel energy army vehicle before, ordinary players in more than level 40 will be empty as long as they hit the last five or six rounds of blood, and it also has an automatic ammunition feeding device, as long as the bullets are enough, it is completely a firepower killing weapon.

However, the power of heavy weapons will be limited when they are manipulated by players, and the damage will be forcibly reduced when PK with other players and attack monsters above the commander level, so classes like Mecha Engineer have not reached the level of insolvability.

But now it's the pirates who wield these heavy weapons, and they're able to wield the full power of them, so there's little hope that players will really win against this pirate ship.

"No, we still have a chance!" The Red Queen said in a deep voice.

"I've learned on the forums before that pirates like this kind of encounters at sea are also humanoids, but they are not as fierce as rebels. Generally speaking, as long as the number of casualties exceeds 75%, they will choose to flee. ”

"Seventy-five percent, then I guess I can't fight!" Big Pineapple frowned.

Seventy-five percent, in addition to the twenty killed before, it is estimated that at least forty or fifty more need to be killed.

But in the case that the other party has a lot of heavy weapons, even if they can kill so much, they should be disabled, and the next task will definitely not be completed.

"No, you can fight. Because there's also a hidden setting that every time an elite pirate boss is killed, the percentage drops by five percent. If you can kill the pirate captain, you can even drop it by 10%! ”

The Red Queen said calmly.

"If it's another class, or there's no way, but if it's a sniper, and we specialize in shooting the elite among them, if we're lucky, we might not even have to fight against them with heavy weapons!"

As she said this, the Red Queen glanced at Fengluo and the black panther on the other side.

"That's why you're hiring a sniper?" Fengluo asked.

"Part of the reason!" The Red Queen replied.

"I'll go, what do they want to do?"

Without waiting for the wind to fall, he continued to ask, and looked at the big pineapple of the pirate ship behind him with a telescope and let out an exclamation.

Fengluo raised his sniper rifle and put it on the largest scope, only to see three assault boats being lowered from both sides of the pirate ship, and then quickly rushed towards this side.

"Presumably, they are preparing to go around to our side and front to intercept and interfere with our escape route!" Neutron Star judged.

"Using assault boats to interfere with cruise ships, the tonnage is not an order of magnitude at all, you can't stop it." Bing Liuli rarely expressed his opinion.

"Oh my God! Don't let their assault boats get close, or we'll not be able to escape!" ”

The injured bearded NPC first mate suddenly shouted loudly.

"Why?" The Red Queen asked.

"These pirate assault boats have been modified with torpedo launchers mounted on them that can fire a miniature guided torpedo that can be fired as long as it comes within a range of 250 meters. The torpedoes are not very powerful, but if they hit the hull and cause some watertight compartments to flood, our speed will be seriously reduced! ”
