(14) Knock-dong chaos
At this time, although the number of pirates who are still fighting against the sailors still has the upper hand, but the battle situation is gradually falling into decline, if it is a battle at sea, maybe these guys can still muster up the courage to fight to the death, but this is an inland river, which means that they have a chance to desert, because at sea they can only drink their own ships to live and die, but here it is not necessarily.
After seeing the strength of their opponents, the pirates were even more reluctant to fight to the death, and even disembarked to launch a counterattack.
Now, what made them even more shaken was that their captain suddenly disappeared, and the pirates who had lost their command were almost a mess of ducks, and the sailors on the shore were very surprised to find that the pirates' return fire became perfunctory.
There may be a well-disciplined and fierce team among the pirates who roam the world, but it will definitely not be Morgan and his men, Morgan has relied on his own brutality and cunning and the support of some cronies to pull up this pirate fleet.
"Where's the captain! Where is Captain Morgan? β
A pirate shouted in a panic on the deck when someone picked him up.
Speaking of him, he was a giant-like burly and tall man, with a premature face, this guy was more than two meters tall, and he was wearing a golden half-body armor that was extremely windy, but it couldn't make people feel the slightest majesty.
'Admiral' Creek, the second leader of Morgan's pirates, brought his fleet to defect after Morgan broke through the name of "the strongest on the sea", and the Morgan pirate group at that time was still an elite pirate group, but Morgan immediately became a group of low-powered rabbles after Morgan absorbed Creek's men and horses because of his greed.
"Don't go to that Morgan guy now! Organize the manpower now, we have more people than them! We're going to fight back! β
As he spoke, he threw the pirate he had spat on to the ground.
"Go and signal the other two ships and ask them to move all the people here, and concentrate on repairing the ships first!"
Crick couldn't help but smile smugly as he watched his men crawl to the stern of the ship to deliver the message.
He wouldn't want to launch some hellish counterattack!
All Crick had to do now was gather as many sailors as he could, and as soon as the ship regained momentum, it sailed away.
As for the two ships that were blocked behind...... It wasn't his ship anyway, and it just stayed to contain the sailors' fire.
Morgan would never disappear in front of the pirates like this, and this guy would personally intervene whenever he encountered a strong enemy, and he maintained his 'strongest deterrent at sea' in this way.
This time, Morgan's disappearance gave Crick an opportunity to replace Morgan as the big boss.
The current adversity can be said to be entirely caused by Morgan's greed, and attacking the fleets of those land lords along inland rivers is simply a madman's move!
Crick chooses to forget that he was part of the greedy group that Morgan had instigated, and he is now figuring out how to use this incident to impeach his captain so that he can be exiled to a desert island.
Now Morgan was away, so the captains of the other two ships had to follow Creek's command, and they quickly concentrated most of the crew on the ship Crick was on by climbing ropes and planks.
The increase in manpower quickened the progress of the repairs, and Crick, while directing the gunners to suppress the sailors who were approaching them from the shore by the Apostles, while patrolling the ship, suddenly felt that Morgan must have abandoned the fleet and fled.
If that's the case, he, Creek, will rightfully become the new leader of the pirates!
Thinking of this, Crick couldn't help but want to laugh, but while he was on patrol, he suddenly saw a rope tied to the guardrail at the bow of the ship, he frowned and walked over, Crick knew that someone secretly got off the boat and escaped when the boat was in chaos, after all, this is an inland river, it is easier to escape than on the vast sea.
Crick pulls out the dagger and tries to cut the rope, but just as the dagger is about to cut down, Crick notices what seems to be movement under the rope, and he listens carefully and sees that someone seems to be climbing up the rope.
So Crick stood by quietly, wondering if this guy wanted to touch the sailor or the deserter who had just returned...... But when the other party climbs up, Crick is surprised to find that she is none of them.
Climbing onto the boat was a little girl with black hair, this wet little guy had obviously just come out of the water, and her climbing movements were very non-standard, so she lost a lot of strength, and the girl's little face was a little red because of it.
What is most interesting to Crick is that the little guy also has a tiger cat on his head......
Ice Hunter thought that Dongdong would stay in the camp honestly, but what he didn't expect was that this little guy ran out without hesitation after hearing Marisa's name, and she wanted to bring this friend back.
When Ice Hunt was picking up the sword, the little guy rushed to the area around the dock first, but he didn't dare to get too close.
Kazan chased after the little guy ran away, he was worried that the little unlucky guy would be in trouble again, and when Kazan realized that the little guy also wanted to save the girl named Marisa, he was eager to get a claw on the little guy's face.
But after hearing the whispered request of Dong Dong, the fire of the tiger cat was suddenly extinguished and became temperless.
"Kazan...... Marisa is my best friend, and I want to save her, and Kazan is the smartest. Can you help me? β
"Just leave this kind of thing to Ice Hunting!" I don't believe that anyone in this world full of weak people can stop the serious Ice Hunt. Why is it so lively that you little girl who can't hold a sword! β
Kazan complained inwardly that if it had the size of a tiger, Kazan would definitely take this messy little creature away, but now, it has the ability to guide Dongdong to keep hidden, protecting her from being hurt in this chaotic battlefield.
Originally, Kazan wanted to drag Knock Knock here, but the little guy didn't give up and forced himself to the side of the boat, and she saw someone lying down the rope from the boat, and this discovery made the little guy's eyes light up - she felt that she had found a way to get up.
In movies and television, it seems that individuals can use the rope to climb over several meters of obstacles, which is actually a misleading, and people who have not practiced can lie down the rope for two or three meters at most, and this seemingly simple action has strict requirements for arm strength and skill.
Kazan didn't take her for granted, and let Knock wade under the boatβthe little one slipped halfway through.
The budgie soon discovered that she was underestimating the child's resilience, and at first she thought that Dong Dong would give up at a height of about three meters, but she persevered.
Kazan thought she could climb up a meter at most, but it realized that she had guessed wrong.
Kazan could feel Dongdong's body tremble as her arms shook, a sign that her muscles were overwhelmed.
The rope was quite rough, and Xiao Maoyu's white and tender hands had been ground out of eye-catching blood marks, but the little guy's eyes did not waver at all, and she climbed up little by little...... Then he was blocked by Crick.
Kazan, who was the first to react, hurriedly jumped from Dongdong's head to the deck, it gave full play to its feline agility, and instantly didn't know where it went, and the silly girl who was still holding the rope in a daze was picked up by Crick.
"Huh! See what I caught? Girl...... It's not a good place to play hide and seek. β
Crick grinned and lifted Knock to himself, staring at her flustered eyes.
"Do all the little girls in your village like to venture out on the boat so much? Or do you have some other purpose? β
It felt very uncomfortable to be lifted by the back collar, and this golden uncle with a golden upper body exuded an aura that made Dong Dong very annoying, so Dong Dong replied while trying to bend back.
"I'm here for my friend, please put me down!"
Many pirates saw what was going on, and they gathered around to watch Creek and Knock with interest.
"Hahahaha! What do you think this is? This is a pirate ship! Everyone here has a blood debt on their hands, and no one is clean! Are you looking for someone here...... Hehe! What are you looking for a villain for? β
"That's not right! I'm not looking for a bad guy, Marisa isn't a bad guy! She won't do bad things! β
Dong Dong said, and then broke Creek's hand hard, but the difference in strength between the two sides was so big that she couldn't break this hand that was far more powerful than ordinary people.
Little Maoyu's weak struggle brought considerable pleasure to the villains around him, and Crick felt that this was an opportunity to boost morale, and he was about to say something, only to see a black shadow slam into his face.
Looking for an opportunity, Kazan stretched out his claws and opened his bow left and right, scratching Crick's face and blurring the flesh and blood!
Crick, who was in pain, threw Knock Knock away, trying to rip the cat off his face, he grabbed Kazan's tail, but before he could be satisfied, Kazan grabbed him in the right eye.
Creek let out a terrible wail, and Kazan took the opportunity to pull out his tail and quickly jump onto the deck and run towards Knock.
Like a mad beast, Creek attacked everything around him, and many pirates broke their ribs and necks because they got too close......
On the other side, Xiao Maoyu, who was thrown by Crick like a sandbag, got up dizzily, she seemed to hear someone shouting her name, and the voice seemed to be ......
"Knock? Is it knock knock? How did you end up in this hellish place? β
ββ¦β¦ Mr. Anci? Is it Mr. Anci? Why is Mr. Anci here? β
Knock Knock looked at the bald head in the corner in surprise, and the bald head looked at Knock Knock with the same surprised eyes.
"Now is not the time to say these words, run away! It's too dangerous here! β
An Ci, who had been in the COS real dead man's head, whispered to urge the little guy, and then suddenly there was a dark roar next to him.
"That...... Where's the damn cat? And what about that little girl? I'm going to air dry her with her damn pussy on the ramminghorns! Ahh!!!!h β
Crick approached Knock and Kazan with a cruel smile on his left hand over his ruined right eye and a spear in his left hand.
"Soon you will be crying and begging me to kill you quickly! I swear! β
Crick said this, and then raised his spear, and the other party's frightened and a little panicked Dong Dong did not shrink into a ball this time, and the little guy picked up something round and smashed it hard at Crick.
Dong Dong's strength was very small, so the flying prop that she smashed out was not lethal at all, Crick reached out to catch it, and he looked carefully with his intact left eye, and it turned out that the other party threw a big bald head.
"What the hell is this?"
"Who the hell do you say!"
What happened next shocked Crick, and the big bald head in his hand actually spoke, and sprayed him with a spit star.
Monk An Ci had a loud voice, and all the pirates around him heard him, including those on other ships who had just been assembled.
The pirates standing nearby stopped what they were doing, and they stared at the big bald head in Crick's hand in amazement.
"You...... You...... What the hell are you! β
Crick asked incoherently.
"You're the! Your whole family is a! β
An Ci was already very hot, but now he was provoked by Crick one after another, how could he bear it?
After he roared, he opened his mouth and bit Crick's nose, after all, An Ci only had one head left now, and if his body recovered, An Ci would definitely use his double strength to slam this thing's stupid face.
Even in the magical world where strange forces are in charge, things like dead people asking for their lives can still scare people.
Pirates are people who beg for a living on the sea, and there is no shortage of such rumors in the vast sea, and pirates with blood debts are more sensitive to these things than ordinary bandits.
In the past, they just dismissed it as some kind of nonsensical but chilling story.
But today, this horror has turned into reality and appeared vividly in front of their eyes.
After the initial stagnation, the pirates who watched up close were overwhelmed by fear, and they ran out desperately, feeling that the ship had been cursed, and that if they did not leave immediately, they would be cursed.
At first, only a dozen people were affected, but the fear spread much faster than the plague, and many of the people who had just boarded the ship were also infected by the panic, some heard about this terrible thing from others, but many more knew nothing.
The disorder caused by the disorganized command eventually turned into irreversible chaos, and Crick's move to bring together the people of the other ships undoubtedly added to the chaos.
Some people slid off the boat with ropes, others escaped on the pedals to other boats, but many more jumped off the boat like dumplings, and the sailors on the shore were startled - they thought it was a counterattack.
Kazan felt that this was a good time to escape, and he stretched out his claws and gently scratched at the little hairy jade's clothes, reminding her to run, but the little one curled up with his back against the wall of the cabin, and the mess around him had a big impact on Dongdong.
So Kazan jumped on the little one's head and slapped her head incessantly, trying to make Knock Knock sober up.
"Woo......"
Dong Dong now felt the fear around her weigh heavily on her, and this pressure made her hands and feet weak, and after Dong Dong moaned softly, she staggered and stood up against the wall.
"Get out of the way!"
Knock suddenly heard a shout, as if telling her to hurry up, she looked back to see who was calling her, only to see a round thing whistling towards her.
ββ¦β¦ Baa? β
In the end, the little guy just screamed like this, and didn't think to hide at all.
The sturdy bald head that can be used to smash the door and the little head of Dong Dong collided solidly, and the little guy was smashed to the sky and fell down, his eyes turned into a very cute mosquito coil, and the big bald head as a murder weapon also rolled aside.
Crick, half-blind and disfigured, walked over with a twisted rage that made the guy ignore his fear of the unknown, and now he wanted nothing more than to tear Kazan and Knock to shreds.
"Kill you! Kill you! Kill you!! β
Crick raised his spear at Knock again.
Laugh at......
It was the sound of a sharp object piercing flesh, but it wasn't a thump.
Crick watched in amazement at the sharp blade emerging from his chest, and then fell to the ground and whimpered.
Ice Hunter didn't pull the sword out of the corpse, because he knew that even if he did, the sword would be useless.
The armor on this guy's body is indeed very hard, and Ice Hunter is not sure that he will pierce it in a fighting battle, so the price of the thrust he uses is that the long sword blade in his hand is completely abolished.
This gold-armored scrap wood was even more sluggish than Bing Hunt had imagined, so it was not surprising that he was pierced to death by a sword.
"Luckily, the restlessness on the deck was spotted in time, otherwise things would have been in trouble. Knock Knock...... You're going to get me in trouble. β
The red-haired swordsman took the little one in his arms, and then turned to look at the other little girl he had tied behind him with a rope, both of whom were now unconscious, their expressions becoming more and more dazed.
"These kids are a nuisance."
With a long sigh, Ice Hunter pulled out the last weapon in his hand, a heavy sword to bury himself on the walls and in the midst of enemy lines.
"But the most troublesome rescue has been completed, and then just kill it."
Looking at the pirates, who had fallen into complete chaos, Ice Hunter smiled lightly.
"Wait! Ice Hunting! Take me with you! β
An Ci hurriedly reminded the red-haired swordsman not to forget about him.
But the red fur just glanced at it, and then said.
"Kazan, Mr. Anci will be handed over to you."
"Hey! What do you mean...... Yes?! β
An Ci immediately understood Ice Hunt's thoughts, because Kazan had already begun to push him forward.
"Just rush out like that!"
Ice Hunter said, raising his sword and charging at several pirates who wanted to get in his way.
