CH.266 The Duel of the Two Ships (Part II)
There's only one chance to turn defeat into victory!
As soon as Tang Ke closed his eyes, his mind sank into the Pirate King system, entered the [Exchange] list, and searched with [Ship Items] and [Consumables] as keywords, and in the pop-up list, Devil Fish Oil was impressively listed. Moreover, the manta fish oil exchanged by the system is of the highest quality and has excellent results. As for how many bonus points are needed, Donk doesn't bother to look at them at all.
When he opened his eyes again, there was already a small barrel in his hand. There is a stopper at the top of the barrel that is full of manta oil.
"Frankie, this is the real manta fish oil, you go take it to the power room and pour it all into the magic furnace!" Tonk held the barrel in one hand and handed it to Franky.
The undead was puzzled and said, "This is devil fish oil, so what were the ones I used before?" ”
A new round of cannon fire rang out, and the cannonballs with blue light hit the hull of the Sky, leaving more holes in the ship.
Tang Ke said in a deep voice: "There's no time to explain, you can go quickly!" Then come back immediately and join me in witnessing the victory of the Sky! ”
Frankie seemed to have something in common, glared at Donk hatefully, then glanced at the Sea Emperor on the opposite side of the port side, did not ramble any more, turned into a real entity, and flew straight into the gangway with a small wooden barrel, and disappeared in an instant.
Donk was determined to win, keeping his eyes on the helm while shouting and directing the sailors on deck.
Although the Sky can no longer fly, the propeller at the stern of the ship can still operate, and the speed of the ship can be increased by leaps and bounds under the effect of manta fish oil. Although this is not enough to sink the Neptune, you can use the advantage of speed to swim around the Neptune. Then find a way to hit the five red dots around the Neptune with a cannonball and win by scoring!
During this time, the red dots on the bow, stern, and sides of the Sky were hit, and only the red dots on the canvas remained. Although the Cangtian has always been at a disadvantage, it is also actively counterattacking, hitting the red dot on the starboard side of the Sea Emperor.
In the Sky's powerhouse, Franky flew all the way with a small wooden barrel and knocked down an obstructive filler. Like a gust of white wind, he flew in front of the Demon Furnace, raised his hand to push the Demon Furnace shield open, and the magic fluorescent power erupted. Without saying a word, he pulled off the stopper and poured the golden, thick liquid from the small wooden barrel into it.
Pandora's box has been opened, and manta fish oil has given the furnace a new impetus. Originally, the magic power in the magic furnace was all impurities, with different fluorescent colors, and the melting speed of the magic stone was also very slow. But with manta oil, things are different. As if it had touched a corrosive liquid, the magic stone began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the variegated magic fluorescence was all dispersed, and a hot red light filled it, as if it was a holy fire from the heavenly realm.
"Buzz !!"
The furnace let out a roar like the awakening of a sleeping dragon, and the sky trembled violently, and the Sky regained its vitality, supplying its magic power in all directions. These magic powers are simply blood full of tyrannical factors!
The surging magic power flew through the pipe, and the outer wall of the metal pipe began to turn red and hot, just in the blink of an eye, it had reached the point of being hot. Several people in the room were dumbfounded.
Under the urging of the devil fish oil, the consumption rate of the magic furnace for the magic stones has directly increased several times, and the remaining magic stones just now have been burned by one-third.
Frankie defy the heat of the magic until he poured the last drop of manta oil clean and floated backwards.
"What are you doing stupidly? Quickly fill it with magic stones and fill the magic furnace completely! The undead roared, floated to the basket containing the magic stones, grabbed the glowing magic stones, threw them into the magic furnace, and fed the dissatisfying magic furnace.
Seeing this, several other people came back to their senses and also helped.
"If this continues, the magic furnace will explode due to overload!" One shouted sweaty.
Frankie hesitated for a moment, and then said firmly: "The Sky has already made up its mind to fight for its life, and no matter what the cost of this battle, it must be won!" I want to witness this glorious moment with my own eyes. ”
Donk, who was at the helm, had finally waited for this moment, and he heard the roar of the Sky and felt the tremor coming from the deck. He shouted and cheered for the Sky in his heart, encouraging the ship to persevere. He handed over the rudder to someone else, walked to the stern, and looked down, only to see that the propeller had reached unprecedented speed, making a deafening screech, sweeping the waves, and the rushing air formed a storm.
The speed of the Sky increased suddenly, surging to about twenty-one knots, and the stern of the ship sank back slightly, stirring up the waves, and the hull of the ship swooped forward. The Sky finally surpassed the Sea Emperor in speed, and was far ahead, and immediately got out of the predicament, like a wild horse on the loose, and went away without waves.
Witnessing such a scene, the golden beard on the Sea Emperor was slightly stunned, and raised his eyebrows: "How can the speed of the Cangtian increase so much?" But that's fine, so as not to let me down too much with the Sky. ”
The Sea Emperor also sped up, dispatching the water element, and the waves seemed to be alive, pushing the ship forward and chasing after the Sky.
The Sky killed a beautiful return gun, and under the propulsion of the propeller, not only the speed increased dramatically, but even the agility became like that of a swimming fish.
"Push the small cannon to the bow of the ship, and give me the red dot that hits the bow of the Sea Emperor anyway! I beg you, be sure to hit! Donk yelled with bare eyes, this was no longer an order, but a request!
The sailors replied loudly, and their eyes were red, and they ran to the port side together, regardless of the pain and everything, and pushed the small cannon to the bow of the ship, and together they aimed the muzzle of the gun at the front.
The Sky and the Sea Emperor charged head-on, like two angry knights, wrapped in the momentum of stepping through the battlefield, with the determination to win. The Sea Emperor once again released the kind of magic array that could create a water jet, but the Sky Dodge, with its agile dodge, dodged the oncoming magic array. The Sea Emperor played tricks again, and once again put on the shield of water.
The two ships were no more than four hundred yards apart, and they looked like they were about to collide with each other.
"Fire!" Donk roared.
The cannons mounted on the battered bow of the ships vied with red light, lighting up the night sky and firing cannonballs. These shells passed by the cannonballs fired by the opponent, and they lived up to Donk's expectations, successfully tearing through the shield of water, and one of the shells hit the red heart of the bow of the Sea Emperor, scoring a point!
The bow of the Sky was damaged again, and the damage was accumulating until it was on the verge of extinction, and it was a matter of time before the ship sank under the infusion of seawater. However, even if the ship does not sink, the manta fish oil will burn out the life of the Sky.
"Donk, we hit! I see a wound on the red dot of the Sea Emperor! Frankie shouted excitedly, and he was only half of his body left, flying with the bow of the Sky.
Donk didn't reply, he busied himself with the rudder to avoid the collision with the Neptune, and when there was no room for it, let the Canatian pass the port side of the Neptune.
"Fire!"
The sirens on the starboard side of the Sky opened fire, and with the help of manta oil, the power of these cannons was strengthened, and the cannonballs carried a sonic attack, and at close range, pierced through the shield of water, and hit the port side of the Neptune, once again hitting the heart.
The score was three to four, and the Sky had already hit three hearts, leaving only the stern of the Sea Emperor and the hearts of the sails.
Donk saw the hope of victory and couldn't help but be excited.
"Frankie, see no, we can win! If the Sky wins, you have to do your best to stay in the world, even if the Sky is a pile of broken wood, you have to stay with this ship, because she is your child, and you can't abandon her! ”
Rather than victory, Donk really cares about Frankie's life.
Frankie was greatly moved, and his mutilated body showed signs of recovery, which proved that he had a new concern and nostalgia for the world. He looked at Donk gratefully, his mouth flicking a few times, but words were drowned out by the sound of cannons.
The Sea Emperor did not give them a chance to talk, and began to bombard the stern water element cannons. Fortunately, the Sky was turning to the right, otherwise the propeller at the stern would have been blown to pieces.
Next, Donk decided to go with the red dot on the stern of the Sea Emperor and put the hardest sail last. The Sky continued to turn right, performed a 180-degree turn, and pursued the stern of the Sea Emperor. The Sky soared all the way, and once again stepped into range, bombarding with the bow cannons.
Seeing the move, the Sea Emperor condensed a special water shield, which was no longer a dome type, but like a wall, erected on the sea. After the water shield was reduced in area, its defense became stronger, and ordinary cannonballs hit it, but it didn't even penetrate it.
Donk was in a hurry, he was racing against time, and the Sky's outburst would not last long. The Sky flashed the Water Shield and bit the stern of the Sea Emperor again, but a new Water Shield appeared again, and it was annoying.
The Sky originally had a siren sonic bow gun that could tear through the shield of water, but that layer was now full of seawater and could not be used. Ordinary cannons can't penetrate the shield of water, so they can only rely on the sonic cannons on both sides of the hull to attack.
Tang Ke noticed that the Neptune Demon of the enemy ship had begun to condense the water elemental again, and the Sky was already in danger and could not withstand the attack of the second water elemental.
The Sky crushed the star-studded sea, chasing the Sea Emperor again, and at the same time, the obstructive Water Shield appeared. The Sky was ruthless this time, using a sharp turn to crash directly into the water shield, and with the strength of a brute bull, the water shield was directly shattered, and the sawdust and falling gunlights were drowned in the waves. The Sky was turned sideways, so that it could attack with the sonic cannon on one side.
The sound of artillery rumbling and blasting resounded in the night sky, and a volley of shells flew past, one of which hit the red heart in the stern of the Sea Emperor, and the rest of the shells disappeared into the night.
Four to four draws!
Donk raced against the clock to jerk the rudder. Like a hungry beast, the Sky pounced on it again, not tearing its prey apart, and never giving up.
The sails are high, so the red dots here are the hardest to hit.
The Sea Emperor tried his best to get rid of the entanglement of the Sky and waited for an opportunity to bombard. The two ships began to compete again, drawing twisted waves on the surface of the sea, just like the dancing of sea elves. The Sky avoids the risk of bombardment, but it can't let go of the Sea Emperor, even if it has the advantage of speed, it is also very difficult, and it will be defeated if it is not careful.
The winner will be known immediately.
The Neptune's water elemental is capable of shooting in all directions, and it is very accurate, and once the water elemental accumulation is complete, it can set the stage for victory. If the Sky wants to win, it can only find a way to hit the red dot on the sail of the Sea Emperor before the Sea Emperor shoots out the water element.
During the entanglement of the two ships, the sailors of the Cangtian have been attacking with small mortars that can shoot at elevation angles, but the elevation angles of the mortars are also limited, and the two ships are too close together, which exceeds the range of the mortars. If you distance yourself, it will result in wasting precious time, and the Sea Emperor will complete the water elemental accumulation during this time.
Because Donk knew early on that there would be a shooting of the sails, he loaded the Sky with five small mortars. Now, the mortar has really come in handy and has become the key to determining victory or defeat.
But now, even if the mortar cannon breaks its neck, it can't aim at the red spot at the height of the Sea Emperor.
Donk glanced back and forth between the mortar and the red dot, and a crazy idea popped into his mind. He handed the rudder to the sailor who would take the helm, and two vertical jumps jumped onto the deck.
"Quickly remove the mortar, then put the barrel on my back, and let me use my body as a turret!" As he shouted, Donk dismantled it with his own hands and quickly unscrewed a large screw cap. Of course, ordinary people can't do such a thing as dismantling artillery, but his hands are like iron hoops, and his bones are stronger than gold, so he can do it with brute force.
The sailors ran down to find the boards and other tools to help Donk dismantle the mortar, but they tried to persuade Donk not to take such a risk.
Using the flesh as a fort, when the cannon is fired, it will inevitably be subjected to a violent impact, which will hurt the muscles and bones, and shock the internal organs! This time, Donk gambled his life in exchange for victory.
Frankie may have been angry at Donk for giving him manta fish oil, but now, that resentment has long since dissipated, and all that is left on his face is gratitude.
"Boom!"
Another cannonball with the water element tore through the guardrail of the Sky and flew past the people, narrowly hitting Donk.
Donk was stunned for a moment, then continued the demolition work, throwing all distractions out of the clouds. With this preoccupation, his movements became so fast that the barrel of the mortar was about to be removed.
"Regiment Commander, even if you want to resist the cannon breech, let us replace you!"
"It's a pity that I'm the only one on this ship who can do this now!"
Tang Ke had made up his mind, and took the hard advice of the sailors as a deaf ear, and as soon as the mortar barrel was removed, he immediately knelt on one knee and faced the Sea Emperor opposite. The four sailors worked together to lift the mortar, and with tears in their eyes, lowered the cannon on Donk's shoulder. Donk propped himself up a little and adjusted his angle, and he became a living turret. Only in this way can the mortar gun hit the red dot at close range, if the object is used as a back, the angle is difficult to find, and a suitable object cannot be found for a while.
"Their water elemental is condensed! The tin man has already raised his arm and is about to launch! Frankie shouted anxiously.
Donk held his breath and carefully calculated the ballistic angle of the mortar based on the distance from the red dot on the canvas. He's not a gunner, so it's a very difficult thing to do, and he can only gamble with his keen senses.
Now is the time!
His heart clenched and he shouted for a fire. Time stopped, and space stood still. The next moment, there was a sharp pain in his back, and his entire internal organs were impacted, and he immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood, but his eyes did not move, and his body was as motionless as a mountain. He watched the cannonballs shoot in an arc into the air, slow and slow, and he prayed, saying in his heart that as long as it could hit, whatever it would do to him. The emperor paid off, and the cannonball really hit the target!
Almost at the same time, the water element of the Sea Emperor also shot over, but it was a beat slower. At the critical moment, a spirited sail controller tricked and cut the canvas rope with red dots, causing the canvas to fall off. The water elemental only blew off the mast in the end. The last red dot of the Sky was finally saved.
The Sky was the first to hit the Sea Emperor's five red dots and won the final victory.
The corners of Donke's blood-soaked mouth lifted, and he laughed, happy like never before. He pushed the heavy mortar away, and the mortar rolled a few times, knocking the plank into a few dents. His clothes were torn, and his entire back was dripping with blood, but fortunately the tattoo on his right shoulder was not injured. The evil dragon, stretched out from the blood-colored mud, fangs and claws, majestic. He grabbed the torn clothes, tore them open, and tossed them aside. He stood alone, out of nowhere a spark flew in and struck him on the hard chest.
The pierced sail of the Sea Emperor was hunting and ringing in the night wind.
"We won !!"
The sailors on the Sky raised their arms and shouted, some hugged each other and wept, and some threw their hats into the sky. Defeating the Sea Emperor is not only the glory of the Sky, but also the glory of the entire Evil Dragon Pirate Group. For this honor, the sailors of the Sky also paid the price of blood.
The Sky, having completed all its mission, made a muffled sound, as if returning to the light, and then gradually slowed down, and the paddles stopped moving.
Franky was so excited that he floated to Donk's side and looked at the Sea Emperor opposite. His body had regrouped and was stronger than ever. He had already strengthened his determination, just like Donk said, even if the Sky became a pile of rotten wood, he would be by this ship's side and never leave it.
The outcome was decided, both ships stopped attacking, and the Sea Emperor moved closer to this side. Two old friends, looking at each other across the sea.
"Old friend, you won." Goldbeard said with a smile that it wasn't as angry as people expected. Of course, tomorrow's newspapers will make a big fuss, and his defeat will inevitably lead to a loss of face and ridicule from some hostile forces. But in this duel, the benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise. Some people will also give a thumbs up because of the golden beard's heavy promise!
"It's not me who won, it's the Sky that won." Frankie said contentedly.
Losing a magic ship and suffering serious injuries of all kinds, Donk and the sailors laughed, and for pirates, as long as they were victorious, they should laugh.
