Chapter 70: Escape and Pursuit III

As soon as Raymond's words fell, several pirates who tried to rush to the deck along the cabin staircase seemed to prove that the swordsman youth was not lying, and then they fired two arrows at the swordsman youth with the light crossbow they had taken out from the cabin room a minute earlier.

Raymond shouted at Finn for help, but he didn't let go of his highly focused attention.

The two crossbow arrows flew rapidly towards the door of the cabin at an angled upward angle, and the future Juggernaut predicted the trajectory of one of the arrows in a very short time, and immediately swung his curved sword to knock it down, while the other arrow grazed the edge of his ear and flew into the dark night, and it was not long before it was swallowed up by the majestic rain pouring down from the night sky.

Finn struggled to control the rudder of the Black Sail, and had to admit that he was picking the worst time in this other world for the first voyage of his new life.

Dense raindrops roared in the air between the sky and the sea, and the waves that danced at night beat against the sides of the ship with the momentum of overturning everything that floated on the sea, and the deck of the black sail ship swayed from side to side as the hull swayed.

Ahead is an unknown danger, while in the rear is a chasing force consisting of three pirate ships.

The young paladin gritted his teeth and hung the Whistling Blade back on his back, then took the helm with one hand and grabbed Lilith's hand from the deck floor with the other as he crouched down, lest the unconscious warlock girl beside him be thrown into the sea by the bumpy deck.

"Arroyo!" He turned around and roared in the rain.

"Your Excellency?!" The young thief grabbed a mast and responded with the same loud volume.

"Come to the bow of the ship!"

"Coming soon!"

Arroyo shook off his rain-soaked hair, leaned down to lower his weight, and ran briskly to the bow of Finn's ship, passing the entrance to the cabin with a worried look at Raymond, who had been forced back by several pirates with crossbows.

The entrance to the cabin was located in the middle of the deck, not too far from the bow of the ship, and the young thief quickly rushed to the young paladin and asked casually, "My lord, what do you need me to do?" ”

Finn glanced sideways at Arroyo, then took Lilith's hand into his hand, grabbed his other hand and put it on the helm, and commanded, "Come and take the helm, and hold on to Lilith by the way." ”

"Huh?" The young thief opened his mouth wide.

The next moment, Finn simply let go of his two hands, turned around and untied the greatsword on his back and ran towards the door of the cabin where Raymond was.

Arroyo glanced back at Finn's back in astonishment, and then felt a powerful wave crash against the hull, as if it were about to overturn his whole body, causing the deck to tilt abruptly.

"Hey, hey! My lord, I can't sail a boat! Ahh The thief boy screamed, and reflexively grasped a wooden handle on the rudder and the hand of the warlock girl with both hands, and the direction of the black sail ship suddenly made a sharp turn with his dozen wheels.

"Just get out of the way and let the boat go!" Finn stumbled like everyone else on the ship, then quickly regained his footing, all the while turning back to a panicked Arroyo and yelling.

"Just open?" Arroyo almost didn't cry, "Oh, my God! Your Excellency, you are a ...... Lunatic! ”

Of course, Arroyo was full of complaints, but he still grabbed Lilith's wrist with one hand, and tried his best to push the rudder back with the other, hoping that the direction of the ship would quickly turn back to the right.

The slope of the deck sloped a little flattened slightly, and several pirates in the cabin rushed to the deck at this moment by virtue of their long experience in naval warfare, breaking through Raymond's blockade.

Raymond clenched the curved sword in his hand helplessly, ready for a fierce battle.

However, Finn's voice reached his ears again, and he shouted, "Get out of the way!" ”

Raymond heard this and immediately kicked his leg to the side of his left hand, and Finn followed up with a whistling blade in his hand and slashed out his second wind blade since he boarded the ship at the pirates who rushed to the deck from the cabin.

The whistling blade of wind swept through the air near the ground towards a few pirates who happened to be standing in a row, and the time difference between Raymond's sudden step to the side caught the pirates off guard and ate the damage it inflicted, causing the pirates to stagger back two steps uncontrollably.

Raymond seized this opportunity from the side of the battlefield, and without saying a word, he raised his curved sword and pressed back towards the pirates, and with a sword in his hand, he eliminated one of them on the side.

The hapless bandits were unable to quickly regain their balance as several pirates rushed onto the deck from their cabins to the point where they were nearly knocked down by the wind blades that Finn had just whipped with his greatsword, and Arroyo's clumsy helm skills and the frenzied waves pushed the deck of the ship to the ground.

Finn immediately rushed in front of them.

The young paladin gripped the hilt of the greatsword with both hands, and with a left-to-right slash, he directly slashed several pirates with the inertia of the charge, scarlet blood splattered from the pirates' bodies and merged with the rain, and a series of kill prompts for gaining experience points immediately emerged from a small position below his vision.

At this point, the man-made threat from the ship was finally cleared by everyone.

Suddenly, before Finn and Raymond could make a small celebration of their victory, the hull beneath their feet erupted into a violent shaking without warning, and the deck trembled as if it had been affected by an earthquake.

"Again, what's wrong?" Raymond sat unsteadily on the ground, a panicked look on his face.

Just now, it was obvious to him and the rest of the boat that something had hit the hull beneath his feet, and the force was not like the lapping of the waves, but rather the impact of a battering ram.

In short, something the hell had hit the big ship they were on.

"Arroyo, we've hit the rocks?!" Finn thrust his greatsword into the deck, barely holding his balance, and shouted at the young thief at the bow of the ship.

"I don't know!" Arroyo's voice didn't seem like an answer, but rather a wail.

Lilith's body was thrown away by the violent shock just now, and the indescribable thief young man held a wooden handle of the rudder plate with his right hand, and grabbed the slender wrist of the warlock girl with his left hand, and the whole person lay on the ground like a rubber band and was pulled between the rudder and the warlock girl's body.

The tingling sensation of his lips from the tugging of his muscles curled into a line, and his heart was miserable, how could he have any time to make sure that the group had hit the rocks at this time?

Just then, Arya stumbled from the stern to the middle of the deck, shouting to the crowd as she ran: "Guys, right-look to the right!" ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The plot of the Blue Harbor chapter will end tonight, if nothing else. To be honest, we didn't have much experience in writing a book for the first time, and I feel that this part of the plot is written in a muddy way, but some seemingly nonsense places always feel that they can't be deleted, and I hope the rhythm of the plot can be improved......

Thank you for your tolerance for always delaying and asking for leave during this time. This is the first watch, and there are two more shifts in the evening.
