With a violent crash, the gangplank with the iron hook at the top was nailed to the deck of the Red Mist.

“Loktarogar!”

"Mother Earth protects me!"

"Kill them!"

“……”

The Marines shouted slogans of their own ethnicity, stepped over the gangplank, and rushed to the opposite side. Some of the Marines wielding goblin muskets kept shooting at the deck of the Red Mist, providing cover for them. In the meantime, some agile creatures had climbed onto the booms, clutching the ropes and swinging towards the Red Mist.

Although the tide is turning, the pirates don't seem to be planning to surrender. Some of them were chaining the foresail booms to prevent them from being cut off, while the gunners on deck were still reloading their guns, and they even had time to fire a grape bomb before the Marines rushed aboard the Red Mist. Projectiles rained down on the deck, killing at least a dozen Marines.

But the Marines were not frightened, they all knew that the more afraid they were of death at this time, the faster they would die. The only way to do this is to get tangled up with the pirates before the artillery is fired again.

The pirates were equally undaunted, and these outlaws, accustomed to licking blood with their knives, drew their swords to meet them. The two sides started hand-to-hand combat in a shouting of killing, with swords and swords, and flesh and blood flying. The sound of gunfire, cannons, explosions, shouts, wails, ...... mingled and incessantly, and in a matter of minutes, the deck of the Red Mist was strewn with corpses and rivers of blood.

Standing on the roof of the stern, Diego glanced at the battlefield and didn't shoot - he didn't put on a shotgun to make sure he could break through the mage's magical defenses, and ordinary bullets were a bit unsightly for this kind of melee, and even taking down one or two pirates would not help the whole situation. Besides, he had to concentrate on dealing with this mage who could appear at any time.

"I'll leave the mage to you, and I'll take the second team to the Red Mist." Watching the situation fall into a stalemate. Kraz patted Diego on the arm and ran to the deck.

"I'll go too!" Masrae shouted, following him. And Guan Haifa looked at him, and then at Diego. In the end, it was decided to stay with the hunter. It can't leave him alone here.

"Where are you? Where are you? Hide your head and tail, stand up and let me see! Diego kept looking away as he muttered to himself, the bow, the lookout, the stern, and the bow platform ......, and the muzzle of the gun swept quickly over several places where he might appear.

When the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the bow platform of the Red Mist for the second time, it suddenly stopped. Because Diego noticed that behind the bow mast in the middle of the platform, a red cloth was exposed, the same color as the mage's robes.

"I've got you!" Diego tried to keep himself from getting overly excited, so as not to affect his aiming. He waited patiently for the mage to come out from behind the bow mast. Now was the time for patience, the mage was dead, and he never thought that this mage could move faster than his bullets.

Diego didn't have time to care about what was happening on the deck of the Red Mist, the cacophony of voices sounded so far away at the moment, and he stared intently at the red cloth, as if it were the whole world.

The mage's patience is clearly not as good as that of the hunter. About ten minutes passed, and the mage finally couldn't help it. Diego saw that the red outcrop was getting bigger and bigger, and finally the whole thing peeked out from behind the bow mast, and he took a few steps in the direction of the bow.

The mage's body was finally fully exposed.

He stood at the front of the bow and looked ahead. Following his line of sight, Diego turned his head and saw that the Chopper and the flying Osprey were bombarding each other more than a hundred meters away, and they were fighting each other, but there was still some distance between the two ships, and they were not entangled together.

"Hell. This guy is going to run! Diego immediately understood what his opponent was up to. For mages, this distance is not a problem at all, and a single flash spell can teleport over.

Diego didn't hesitate to pull the trigger. If this mage teleports to the Wavecut, it will completely change the situation there. He didn't think he could still hit him, because there were too many places on a ship to hide from his shots. And there's no way Diego can run to the flying Osprey to stop him.

However, to Diego's astonishment, the mage did not fall, but simply disappeared again.

"Hell. It's a mirror image again! Diego couldn't help but scold in his heart, this was the second time he had been fooled.

But at this moment, Diego was keenly aware of a wave of magic behind him, and before he could curse his stupidity, he rolled and rushed forward.

He dodged in time. A scorching heat grazed his back where he had just squatted, scorching the hard deck.

"It's the mage, he's teleported." The thought crossed Diego's mind, he didn't know where this guy was hiding, but he knew that he had lost the lead, and that he was the real target of the mage.

However, to Diego's surprise, the mage continued to attack. He soon knew why—he heard Guan Haifa's roar behind him.

Diego secretly screamed in his heart that he was lucky, he turned around in a cold sweat, and saw that the big cat was frantically attacking the mage, and the high-speed claws were almost drawing out a phantom, although its attack could not destroy the mage's magic shield, but it could interfere with his spell casting.

Annoyed by the harassment, the mage decides to cast his fastest spell to deal with the beast. He raised his hand, arcane energy leaping in his hand.

"Get out of here!" He shouted, and an arcane energy slammed out of his grasp, knocking the big cat tumbling and retreating into the distance. Immediately after, a series of arcane missiles glowing with purple starlight shot out of his fingertips and roared towards Guan Haifa. The big cat jumped and dodged on the deck, on the wooden wall, and on the helm platform, and the missiles hit the planks behind it indiscriminately, crumbling pieces of wood chips.

By the time the mage realized that he wouldn't be able to deal with the slippery yellow panther in a short period of time, Diego had already finished charging the bullet's holy light, and he didn't even bother to restrain the white light emitted by the spear's body due to the tight schedule.

"Hey! Fools, look this way! He shouted under his breath, then gently pulled the trigger.

The distance between the two sides was so far that almost the moment the gun rang out, the bullet had already hit the mage's body. To be on the safe side, Diego aimed at the mage's chest,

However, the mage was never short of protective spells, and an oval-shaped blue energy shield appeared in front of him, blocking the bullet's progress. The white light and arcane energy violently canceled each other out and annihilated, shining with a blinding arc of light.

The mage sneered, raised his hands and began to cast the spell. It was a powerful spell that could kill the hunter in one fell swoop, but he soon had to change his mind. Because the bullets infused with the power of holy light continued to hit the arcane shield, hitting the shield so uncertainly that it looked like it would shatter at any moment, and the shield's energy consumption rate was far faster than he expected.

The mage roared unwillingly, and once again raised a hand like an eagle's claw, the surging mana shining between his palms. Two seconds later, a cloud of scorching flame energy exploded violently around him, spewing in all directions.

Diego had to retreat to dodge the furious energy release. In an instant, the entire stern was filled with flames, and the dazzling light almost blinded the eyes.

After a dozen seconds, as the light faded, Diego lowered his hand, only to find that the mage was nowhere to be found—the wave of fire unleashed by the cunning mage was not intended to attack, but to conceal his next move.

Diego looked up, looking around. He saw that Guan Haifa was jumping over the debris on the deck and rushing towards the hatch.

"Hell!" Diego leapt from the stern and ran towards the hatch. (To be continued.) )
