Chapter 298: Frustration
"There are a lot of skeleton pirates, the one who blows the trumpet is a boss, 'Captain Undead Pirate', a level 55 guy" Ling'er quickly reported what she saw
"" Murong Xiaotian's face changed suddenly
The 'Undead Pirate Captain' is clearly in the role of a commander
And those skeleton pirates, they climbed the fort at this time, they were by no means untargeted, they must have been to act as gunners
In fact, it was not these reasons for Murong Xiaotian's change of color, but it reminded him of something
He had heard Uncle Baksa say that the two great seafaring families in "Destiny" had their own strengths in shipbuilding and cannon building
Another seafaring family did not know how to build gunboats, but their shipbuilding skills far surpassed those of the Baksa family; The ships they built were much stronger than the Baksa family in terms of function, degree, and sturdiness
But when it comes to attack ability, the gunboats built by the Baksa family are second to none in "Destiny" in terms of power and range
Therefore, the cannons on the opposite turret are most likely from the Baksa family
Then, the power and range of these cannons are very likely, far from being comparable to these magic crystal cannons on their own "Destiny".
From here to the opponent's battery, there is a distance of about 700 meters, which is already out of the range of the magic crystal cannon; So, it is quite possible that the enemy's artillery fire can attack their side
If this is the case, the consequences are unimaginable, and the whole situation is reversed, and on the other side, it has become the target of unilateral ravages by the other party
However, thinking that it was too late, Murong Xiaotian's face had just changed, and before he could make any reaction, he opened fire on the other side
More than a dozen tongues of fire erupted from behind the stone wall, and more than a dozen cannonballs flew straight down
The cannonballs that fell around the "Destiny" "boom ......boom boom" lifted the sea water more than 10 meters high, as if it were a tsunami gushing out of thin air, causing the sea surface to churn and shake the entire "Destiny" to a certain extent
Three cannonballs landed directly on the deck, throwing the shattered fragments of the deck into the air, and the air wave brought by the explosion made Murong Xiaotian and them unstable on their feet
At the same time, a raging fire ignited
"Lu Dawei, all retreat" Murong Xiaotian roared
His worries really came true, the opponent's cannon not only had a farther range than his own magic crystal cannon, but the power was much stronger; The idea of rushing to the dock and blowing up the opponent's turret was completely put on hold
Doing so is undoubtedly no different from suicide
This kind of firepower, even if the 'Destiny' arrives in front of it and is not sunk, I am afraid it will be full of holes and completely wasted
The only thing that can be done is to retreat, and it has to be fast
It's too late to go to the cockpit to deliver orders, and by the time you run to the cockpit, the 'Destiny' is estimated to have been severely damaged
Therefore, Murong Xiaotian turned on the deterrence amplification function of the Knight Medal without thinking about it
This roar, let alone on the ship, can be heard clearly even by the enemy on the gun behind the stone wall opposite
Deterrence can increase the morale of one's own people, and can bring psychological pressure to the enemy and lower their morale
At the very least, it would be good to bring their actions to a momentary halt, even if it was to gain a second
"Let's all go to fight the fire" Murong Xiaotian roared again, and his figure crossed a line and rushed to the fire; At the same time, his eyes quickly swept over the deck
Seeing that there were no casualties, it was a little more reassuring
"Fuck it," Murong Xiaotian scolded again in his heart
It's really a fucking bag, bombarded by others crazy, but you can only watch
He regretted it to death now, and he should have rushed straight to the dock as soon as he entered the bay; Then, there will be enough time to bomb the opponent's ship, and then bombard the opponent's battery
Those garbage pirates, to put it bluntly, when can't you kill them? Boom those junk pirates, bombed for so long, missed the opportunity to destroy the opponent's battery
In the final analysis, he was too light on the enemy, and he should have touched the 'Hell Island' first to understand the situation before making a move
However, Murong Xiaotian is not the kind of person who likes to complain at all, regret is just a fleeting thing, and the things in front of him are the most important thing
In the face of such powerful artillery fire, with their current skills and level, they would not be of any use at all, which made him think of Long'er again; If the dragon was here, the situation would be completely different
Thinking of Long'er, Murong Xiaotian itched that hateful tooth, not that bastard, then there would be so many things?
That bastard, he must definitely pay him back at a price of ten times and a hundred times
The 'Destiny' began to withdraw quickly, and as soon as the ship moved, the enemy had to adjust the range of the target, and the artillery fire naturally slowed down; according to the situation of the enemy's shelling, the opponent's artillery was no less than fifteen
In terms of quantity, there are not many, but in terms of power, it is the power of one of them, and there are several magic crystal cannons on the top
They have also joined the ranks of firefighting, in fact, they can't do anything but be firefighters now
The NPC crew members on the ship also quickly ran out, braving the gunfire to repair the destroyed parts of the 'Destiny'
The "boom, boom, boom......" artillery fire continued, and the people on the 'Destiny' were busy
Lu Dawei's driving skills are indeed very sophisticated, and after Murong Xiaotian gave the order, he was very proficient in a ninety-degree turn; 30 knots, all withdrew to the mouth of the bay, without the slightest delay
After withdrawing 300 meters, the enemy's artillery fire was out of reach, and firing stopped
In this way, the longest range of the opponent's cannon is a distance of one thousand meters, which is twice the size of the magic crystal cannon
After the fire was extinguished, Murong Xiaotian gathered everyone and gathered in the cockpit; As for the repair work, it is a matter for those crew members, let Murong Xiaotian and them repair it, they don't have the ability
You know, not everyone can be this crew member casually; First of all, you need to know how to make a boat, and you have to learn the navigation techniques in the "Logbook".
Except for Murong Xiaotian here, like Juefeng, they don't know how to make at all, even if they give them the "Logbook", they don't have that authority
Therefore, these crew members are all the treasures of Ah Si, and they are the treasures of the number one thief force in the world
In order to find these NPCs who know how to make things, it took a lot of effort from Wuhan University
"Report our losses," Murong Xiaotian said in a deep voice in the cockpit
"We were hit by five guns, four decks, one power furnace was damaged, and one crew member was killed," an NPC reported the statistics
They were lucky, only five shots in total, and even if a third of the opponent's shells hit the target, the 'Destiny' would have to sink the ship
Maybe it's because the cannons on the stone walls are firing for the first time
"A crew member killed?" Murong Xiaotian's expression suddenly became extremely heavy
NPCs are different from players, they don't have the power to resurrect, they hang up, and they completely disappear from this world
"Yes," the crew member said bitterly
"He is the hero of our world's first thief, Captain Lu, after returning to Huaxia, tell Ah Si, on the 'Destiny', erect a monument for me and engrave his name on it; he used his life to defend the dignity of our world's first thief, and deserves our respect," Murong Xiaotian said solemnly
This "Destiny" is also an all-encompassing world, even if it is an NPC, it is also a living life in this world
They have blood, flesh, and thought, and their lives deserve more respect than the player
Players can be resurrected if they are hanged, but they can't
"Yes," Captain Lou replied with the same seriousness
His mood was equally sad, these crew members were not only his men, but also his brothers
"Damn, kill all these brutes and avenge our crew brothers" Furious Zhan clenched his fists in anger, his eyes about to erupt into flames
"Revenge is certain, but we can't get up to it now, the other party's artillery is more powerful than ours, and the range is farther than ours" Juefeng replied seriously, his eyes looking at Murong Xiaotian
Obviously, he was asking for Murong Xiaotian's opinion
"Power furnace, can it be repaired?" Murong Xiaotian didn't answer, but instead looked at Lu Dawei
This is also a critical issue, and if the power furnace affects the return voyage, it will be very bad
"That's not a problem, it will take three hours at most to recover," Captain Lu replied affirmatively
"Okay" Murong Xiaotian nodded, then swept his gaze on everyone's faces, and finally fell on Juefeng's face, and then said: "Now that the sky has begun to get dark, I think, let's rest first, and then land directly from outside the bay mouth; Taking advantage of the night, we touched his fort and collected his magic crystal cannon first."
Collecting the opponent's cannons, this is one of them, and not letting these NPC crew members take any more risks is the most important thing
As the boss of the world's number one thief, he watched a brother disappear into this world so completely, which made Murong Xiaotian feel extremely ashamed at the same time
It was getting dark quickly, and after Murong Xiaotian and the others had a little rest, they were ready to set off
The 'Destiny' is an ocean-going warship, and with its tonnage, it is impossible to get to the shore without the construction of a deep-water dock
Therefore, the 'Destiny' can only stop near the mouth of the bay, more than 100 meters from the shore, and then it can only rely on a raft
After lowering the raft prepared on the 'Destiny', Murong Xiaotian gave a brief explanation to Captain Lu before leaving the 'Destiny'
Soon, the raft came to shore, dragged the raft ashore, threw it on the beach, and the group drove in the direction of the stone wall
