Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Battle for Supremacy in the Angry Sea
"Fire!"
The sound of artillery fire was constantly ringing in my ears, and the smell of gunpowder and blood filled the air. In the midst of the fire, the number of crew members killed on the deck continued to increase.
Although the ships of the Bloodsail Pirates were numerous, they were generally smaller, smaller than the regular naval ships of Kurtiras. At close range, Daelin's ship superiority was revealed, as the crew of Kurtilas could stand on the deck and shoot at the Bloodsail Pirates' crew. And the pirates could only attack with difficulty.
The strengths and weaknesses of both sides are exposed.
Ariston understood where the battle was going on, and Daelin ordered the fleet to move at full speed, but since he did not have as many ships as the enemy, the artillery bombarded him, and Kurtilas's fleet had no advantage. It's better to get close to the other party and win by hand-to-hand combat.
Soon, Dalein's flagship approached one of the Bloodsail pirate warships like a giant castle on the sea. The smaller pirate warship tried to turn around and flee. But it's too late.
Dalin's flagship protrudes from the side of countless high-altitude suspension bridges, like the arms of giants, and nails deep into the deck of the pirate ship. With a violent shaking, the two ships were firmly glued together, side by side.
"Attack! For Kul Tiras! ”
The crew of Kul Tiras, the soldiers roared. The next moment, like a rushing tide, the angry soldiers stepped on the rickety sea drawbridge and rushed towards the pirate warship opposite.
Countless arrows and bullets suddenly sent out from the opposite warship.
Clearly, the Bloodsail Pirates are still trying to put up a last stand. A dense rain of bullets and arrows covered the path of the Kul Tiras soldiers in an instant. The wooden suspension bridge is filled with arrows.
However, all this could not stop the blood-boiling soldiers of the Kul Tiras Kingdom.
Glancing at the raging sea beneath his feet, Ares stepped on the rickety suspension bridge in the sky. With a roar, the Ember Bringer suddenly burst into infinite light.
The crowd suddenly made way for the Light Knight to charge.
The light was like the sun on the sea, inspiring the crew of Kul Tiras behind him to charge bloodily.
Beneath your feet, the raging waters, and the heavy artillery below deck are still bombarding. Just as Ares jumped off the drawbridge with his greatsword in hand and slashed at the Bloodsail Pirate, the deck beneath his feet suddenly shook violently. The waves crashed, and the impact of the artillery strikes caused the entire drawbridge to staggering away from the deck, and the spikes were nailed to the deck and a long crack was torn apart! Sawdust was flying, and while they were still on the drawbridge, the Kul Tiras soldiers, who had not had time to grab onto the guardrail, fell into the sea.
Screams can be heard behind you.
But there was no time to rescue, and in fact there was no way to do so, Ares held the holy sword and split the heads of the pirate crew in front of him with a single sword! Blood and brains erupted from the shattered skull, spilling Ares in the face.
Drinking the blood, the Ash Bringer began to roar, the holy light surrounded the paladin, and the golden light wrapped Ares's entire person in the holy light, and the divine storm swept by, and countless blood splashed around him. Countless screams rang in my ears.
Not far behind him, on Dalin's warship, Gianna provided spell support, a fireball spell, smashing the bloodsail pirate beside Ares into the sky, area damage, more than fifty pirate members were blown off the deck by a huge fireball in an instant, burned beyond recognition.
With the swing of the Ember Bringer, the light pierced through the clouds and fell on Ares, holy rage engulfing anyone who came close. The crew of the entire Bloody Sail warship trembled with fear at such a combination of battles.
Dai Lin on the deck looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel solemn. He does seem to have underestimated Ares, not the Ember Bringer, but indeed underestimated Ares. After a shock, the crew members of the Blood Sail Pirate Ship, who were still violently resisting just now, quickly gave up their resistance.
At the same time, the paladin is not only a weapon of slaughter, but also a messenger and propagator of the Holy Light. The injured crew, as long as they weren't too severe, were all healed by Ares with the power of the Light. And after a series of battles, only the paladin was seen faintly gasping in place.
Dalin had heard everything that had happened in Lordaeron in the north two years ago, and now it seemed that the fighting there was more tragic than he had imagined. Otherwise, such an almost perfect warrior would not have been trained.
Having captured the Bloodsail Pirate Ship, Dalin's ship quickly turned around and took on several other Bloodsail Pirate Ships. Along with Daelin's flagship, there were three elite sea ships of Kurtiras.
Heavy artillery roared, and Kul Tiras's battleship braved the wind and waves, countless stray bullets slashing overhead and passing by, stirring up a thousand waves. But it still couldn't stop the charge of the battleship.
The slightly smaller Bloodsail warships avoided one after another. A few of the slightly larger Bloodsail warships tried to stop Dalin's triangular fleet from charging at their leader, and launched a cannonball at Dalin's flagship and the three Kurtiras warships around him.
But Dalin is a seasoned veteran. With the drop of the front anchor, the entire giant battleship of Kurtilas made a ninety-degree Jedi turn in front of the enemy! It's like a dragon swinging its tail.
Standing on the deck, Ares could see that the world in front of him had almost made a big spin, and one moment it was the flagship of Dalin, who was still a live target for the enemy's battleship, and the next moment, it was perfectly aimed at the enemy's warship.
You know, the battleship is not the same as the cavalry charge on land, and all the artillery is almost concentrated in the firing compartment on the side.
In the next second, the artillery fired in unison.
The whole ship seemed to tremble, and the exploding gunpowder sent the lead cannonball out of the bore, spun rapidly, and smashed into the enemy ship.
Suddenly, the Bloody Sail Pirates' warship was filled with flames and smoke.
On the battleship of Kul Tiras, deafening cheers rang out.
Looking back around, you can see that the other three Daelin battleships have also successfully tore through the enemy's defenses. Fight back with heavy artillery fire from the Bloodsail Pirates.
"Keep going! Archers ready! ”
Dalin continued to order. His expression widened as he could see that the scales of victory were tilting in Kul Tiras's side.
Soon, seven or eight more ships joined the siege and interception of the Bloodsail pirate leader.
The moment you get close to the enemy battleship, ten thousand arrows are fired! The igniting arrows flew through the sky like locusts, and the crew and sailors of the pirate ship had almost nowhere to hide, and they had no power to fight back.
In an instant, before boarding the ship, the people on the deck of the opposing ship were already dead and wounded.
