Chapter 337: The First Battle

The black dragon that suddenly appeared in the sky made all the pirates on the pirate ship: Bing all roar Kiichi.... They were pressured by an opponent they had never met before, but they were fierce Ragner pirates. After the initial panic, the pirates, led by the small bosses, began to adjust the angle of the giant crossbow and prepare for the battle.

The giant crossbows used in naval battles are actually very similar to the ballistae used on land, but in order to make some improvements for use on ships, in order to deal with the many types of flying troops in this world, whether it is a crossbow or a ballista, they are designed to shoot in the air, but the angle is not so large.

But the giant crossbow is not an anti-aircraft gun after all, and it cannot be fired in bursts, and the speed of the flying troops is generally very fast, which is extremely difficult to aim. Therefore, although the giant crossbow has both air defense capabilities, this air defense ability is very limited, and being fixed on the deck greatly limits the powerful lethality of the giant crossbow.

Since the black dragon Qiu Odoras and other black dragons were designated as members of the navy by Chen Jian, they have been conducting naval combat drills under the guidance of Sylvia, as the only weapon that may damage the black dragon under the new tactics, whether it is Chen Jian or Sylvia, they have given the giant crossbow considerable attention, this is because the black dragons cannot receive magic treatment due to magic immunity, and once injured, they can only rely on their own recovery ability to slowly recuperate, and the situation at this time has long been expected by the two. A series of countermeasures were formulated early.

After discovering the pirates' movements, Choodoras unhurriedly pulled up the altitude, the range of the giant crossbow was limited, as long as it reached a certain height, the giant crossbow could not cause any damage to him.

And because of the angle. The ships directly below him cannot be attacked with the Giant Crossbow, and most of the Great Crossbows on the sea ship are placed on the sides of the ship, and the bow and stern are a blind spot that can be exploited.

Choodoras reflected on what he had learned during this time, and then began to spend his time searching for a safe target to attack, below him. The giant crossbows on several pirate ships shot huge crossbow arrows from time to time, but these crossbow arrows could not pose any threat to Choodoras, who was hiding at a safe altitude at this time, and although they tried hard to climb the altitude in order to complete the mission given to them by their masters, they could only fall into the sea one by one after losing their strength.

This situation made Choodorus even more excited, and he soon chose a ship on the far left side of the enemy fleet as his debut in naval warfare, the reason why he chose the outermost ship was because it could effectively reduce the chance of other ships using the giant crossbow to attack him when attacking.

Seeing that the huge black dragon first flew directly above him, and then swooped down from the direction of the stern, the pirates on this ship immediately became a mess.

"Archers! Archers are free to shoot at the enemy! After discovering his opponent's movements, Pierre gave the order in a hoarse voice, with a distinct trilling voice in his voice, "Left full rudder!" Get closer to the flagship! Move fast! The giant crossbow is ready to meet the enemy! ”

Pierre is the captain of the ship and one of the leaders of the pirate group, he is a veteran pirate with more than twenty years of experience, and his years of fighting at sea have given him a lot of experience against the enemy, although it is the first time he has faced the dragons, he still thinks of a way to deal with it.

He knew that ordinary bows and arrows could not do much damage to the black dragon, but a dense bow and arrow could interfere with the enemy's attack and delay some time.

At this time, you can not only get close to other ships, so that the giant crossbows on other ships can already provide cover for your own ship, but also use the giant crossbows on the side of your own ship to counterattack the enemy after the turn is completed.

With Pierre's order, the ship's helmsman turned the rudder desperately to the left, and the pirate ship began to turn slowly.

Pierre's response cannot but be said to be correct; The seasoned pirates were not slow to react, but they forgot that their opponent was not the big ships that used to move slowly on the sea, but the nimble and incredibly fast black dragons.

Although Choodoras was diving, he kept changing his position during the dive, moving irregularly from side to side, and the sniping of the archers was not taken seriously by him at all, and even the pirates used the only giant crossbow in the stern of the ship to launch an attack on him, which he easily dodged.

The pirate ship's change of direction made the black dragon even more disdainful, and Choodoras only adjusted the angle slightly in the air, and still rushed straight towards the stern of the enemy ship.

Then he opened his mouth and sprayed the dragon flame at the ship in a few mouthfuls in a row, and the target of his attack was the stern tower, mast and sail of the ship, the power of the dragon flame made these things miserable in an instant, and several outlaws who attacked the black dragon with bows and arrows on the lookout of the mast screamed for their lives. The black dragon's massive body swept over the ship, flying high into the air again. The scorched and broken masts fell down one after another because of the dragon flame, some fell directly into the sea, and some of them smashed heavily on the deck, bringing secondary damage to the ship, and the burning sails also fell with the remnants of the dragon flame with the sea breeze everywhere on the ship, and the unlucky eggs who couldn't dodge and were covered by these canvases were burned and screamed, and many places on the ship were also on fire, and the stern erosion industry that was attacked by Qiu Odoras was even more in a mess, and even the rudder that controlled the direction of the ship was ruined! Gangheeβ€»

In just one attack, Choodoras not only incapacitated the pirate ship, but also cost the pirates more than twenty casualties.

Pierre, who found that the situation was not good, jumped directly into the sea from the stern tower at the time of a thousand equals, and saved his life, and the other pirates on the stern tower did not react as quickly as him, and all of them died.

As a pirate, the water is of course excellent, and it was Pierre who soon surfaced to the surface. He was about to beckon the people on the boat to rescue him. only to find that the black dragon in the sky had lost its head. He swooped straight down from the bow of the ship.

This time, because the pirates who had been in chaos and had no one to command them had not organized a counterattack at all, Cho Odoras easily plowed the deck with dragon flames. Then Pierre heard the earth-shattering screams of his men from the boat, and then began to have some figures on fire jumping down from the ship one after another, one by one fluttering tom tom into the sea, but most of the people fell, but they never floated again, the power of the dragon flame is no more than ordinary flames, not only the temperature is amazing, but also contains toxins, the people of Zantong can't stand it at all, the sea water may be able to extinguish the dragon flame on these people, But it can't remove the toxins from their bodies that have penetrated deep into their bodies with burns.

At this time, the pirate ship also began to burn because of the dragon flame, Pierre knew that his beloved ship was finished, and he no longer hesitated, grabbed a plank that fell on the surface of the sea with his hands and feet, and swam towards the other ship closest to him.

In the sky, Choodoras flapped his wings and flew to a safe altitude again, and after hovering over the pirate fleet for a few more moments, he let out a few demonstrative roars before swaggering home.

The new tactics have proven to be quite effective, and the Black Dragon Hero is a little eager to go back to the ship and report the good news to the others. Moreover, Sylvia's order was a tentative attack, the purpose of which was to test the new tactics in actual combat, and now that the goal has been achieved, maybe Sylvia will have some new ideas next.

Watching the black dragon fade away and eventually disappear from the horizon, Charles felt his heart bleed.

He didn't look at the scene of the net gang at all, what a long time has it been, and a heavily armed warship is gone.

Even if a magician above the master level makes a move, it's just to that extent.

Magical attacks can also be intercepted by their own magicians, but the opponent is a black dragon that can escape all magic and come and go freely in the air.

The firearm of the giant crossbow is too slow, and due to the angle and the speed of the opponent, it does not play much role at all, and the power of the bow and arrow is too weak. Not to mention the magicians, since the appearance of the black dragon, the magicians sent by the four Rigner Islands have no intention of attacking at all. It's just that he has blessed himself with some protective magic, and those necromancers are also quietly watching the battle, as if they don't care about themselves.

"This battle can't be fought!" Charles grabbed his hat and threw it heavily on the deck. "Hell, what did this black dragon come from? Is there land around here? Is there something wrong with that chart? ”

Logan shook his head and said, "That Qi Mage sent by the Rigner Islands didn't find any land in an observable range!" ”

"There's really no land around! You can't go wrong with our charts! A hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.

Startled, Charles looked back. But it was the leader of the necromancers who had just escaped from the air that had come not far behind him, and although the other party was wearing a hood and couldn't see his face clearly, Charles felt that the other party's eyes were staring at him viciously, and this feeling made him very uncomfortable.

"If the chart is correct, then how do you explain the appearance of this black dragon? Mr. Lawrence? Do you want to tell me that this black dragon has swam out of the sea? Charles replied coldly. Although the other party is a necromancer, he is not very afraid, since he has some thoughts, in order to deal with these necromancers, he not only gathered all the good players of the pirate group on his ship. He even transferred the four magicians sent by the Rigner Islands to his side, and at this time they were secretly on guard not far away.

The necromancer, known as Lawrence, said in a cold voice, "Maybe there is an enemy fleet nearby, and this black dragon may have flown over from their ship!" ”

Charles couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "It seems that you are really a layman, you actually said such a ridiculous thing!" Mr. Lawrence. It's a bit rude, but I have to say, you're really uninformed! Running around the sea with a dragon in a boat? To do this, I'm afraid that it will only be possible with the largest warship in the main fleet of our Endless Sea Empire! But I really can't think of any other person or force on this ocean that could build such a big ship like our Endless Sea Empire! ”
