CH.178 Each Shows His Might
Below the sea is a very different world, full of light and strong rapids, and for the people on the shore, it is a forbidden place of death, but for the Naga fishmen, it is a familiar habitat.
There are more than 300 of these Naga fish people, all of whom come from a tribe called "Qingbei". There are many tribes of the Naga fish, scattered all over the sea, and a few large tribesmen have high-end intelligence, but many more are so stupid that they can't even count the number of their own fingers.
Half a year ago, an organization called the Cannibal Pirate Regiment came to the Qingbei tribe and gave several passionate speeches, mostly about the persecution of the people on the shore and the contempt for the sea beasts. Although the fishmen of the Qingbei tribe are stupid, they also understand the meaning of "despise", and they hate to be despised, so they arouse hatred for the races on the shore.
As a result, the Qingbei tribe changed its recipe and listed the shore races such as humans, dwarves, and elves, which were rarely eaten in Pingli, as the chief food.
This was another hunt by the Qingbei tribe, and after they found this fragrant sailboat, they launched a fierce attack without warning. They initially intended to overthrow the sailboat outright, but before they could do so, an explosive was dropped on the sailboat. They had to disperse, having lost several of their companions in the explosion, and began to use guerrilla tactics to tear at the bottom of the ship little by little, leaving scars on the sturdy oak.
The cold water quickly poured into the hole, adding weight to the sailboat. The sea, like a merciless embrace, embraced the sailboat in its arms and pulled it towards the entrance to hell.
Some of the anxious Naga fishmen leaped straight out of the sea, like arrows of water, with subtle power, landing accurately on the deck or piercing through the fragile canvas. They can grasp the crossbar with their claws and hang upside down on it, making a numbing sound that makes the scalp of the sailor tingle. The mighty Naga fishmen have the strength of a human swordsman, the weaker ones are stronger than the average adult, and they have a terrifying appearance that can scare sailors into losing their armor with a pair of emotionless fish eyes.
Only the lethal muskets make the Naga feel threatened, but they carry out one-sided slaughter.
The crew abandoned ship before the sailboat sank, but they hadn't swum far before they were dragged to the bottom of the sea by the Naga fishmen. They had to endure the sharp pain caused by their claws and teeth before they could lose their breath.
The smell of blood can travel far and wide, and even sharks are attracted to it, but this domineering fish does not dare to disturb the Naga fish people's meal, so they can only stare coldly from a distance and wait.
The Qingbei tribe eats heartily, and the picture under the sea is something that the race on the shore does not want to see in their lives. At the end of the meal, another good news came from a sentry, and another fleet was on its way.
Some of the Naga fishmen were not fed and began to lick their lips.
The fleet that arrived was none other than the Dragon Pirate Regiment!
Tang Ke stood alone on the bridge, staring coldly at the sea of blood in front of him. At his feet was the flagship Cangtian, and the six ships behind him had to obey the banners of the Cangtian. The entire pirate group was ready to go, and everyone remained silent, except for the talk related to the ship. The cold hilt and wooden butt were warmed by the pirates' shoddy hands.
Huanhuan bared his teeth at the bow of the ship, panting heavily, his roar very close to the roar of the furnace, and it was full of uncontrollable rage. It also remembered the scarred appearance of its companion, which was caused by the Naga fishmen, who had always held a grudge and finally had a chance to vent today. As for the other four gibbons, they were also eager to try their hand on the other boats, and their eyes were burning red.
Donk adjusted the amplitude of the rudder, and the Sky went with his heart. He was looking forward to the battle that was going to be, and he wanted to know how effective the messy weapons Gavi had provided were. He paid attention to every move on the surface of the sea, but also to the dynamics of the entire ship. A large, fat, bulging toad jumped into his sight.
"Commander, I have something to discuss with you." Crossscar stood beneath the bridge, looking up at Donk.
"Let's get it straight. War is about to start, and I hope your topic isn't as long as an old woman's nagging. "Donk doesn't usually like the topic of the Spitting Frogs, because these guys tend to ask for everything when they open their mouths.
Crossscar's big belly was swollen with anger, in fact it hated the role of the messenger, but the spitting frogs in the group worshiped him as the boss. It said bluntly: "Commander, the spitting bomb frogs on the ship have found me, and they have a common idea. We don't want to be hostile to the Naga, as we're all sea beasts, and this battle could cause trouble for Pebble Island. ”
"Trouble! Trouble again! Tang Ke shouted, "For the sake of this so-called trouble, you are going to strike collectively at this critical juncture?" Know who you are, on the seas, you are members of the Dragon Pirates! Listen, I'm going to fight this dangerous war for many reasons, and the Naga fishmen are blocking my path, which I can't allow as a pirate. And the wounds on my body also drive me to do this, I am a person who holds a grudge, and you know where these wounds of mine come from. These goddamn cold-blooded brutes must die at sea today. If you and your people are to protect yourself," his gaze was merciless at the moment, "I will treat you as useless things, and there is no need for them on a sailboat. ”
A verbal bombardment, like a slap in the face, slammed into Crossscar. Crossscar shuddered in his heart, and he angrily suggested, "Wouldn't it be better if I could try to communicate with them and get them to avoid them?" ”
"It's not good. And you don't have such a big face. You should know better than me what kind of Naga fishmen are like to be a bunch of guys. "Donk tore through the innocence of Cross Scar, and he began to miss the spitting frogs that had been recruited by the system, which were the unconcerned mobile batteries." Crossscar, help me fight this battle. Help me to win, and let's share the joy of this victory. Don't forget, I'm in partnership with Toad Island. I am a partner who walks the talk, and when Toad Island brings me benefits, I will repay Toad Island with double gifts. Also, you are also a pirate, show the courage of a pirate, I know you are very bold. Strive to make your people as bold as you are. It's good for them, cowardice can't stand on the sea. ”
Cross Scar was silent for a moment, and the spit frogs on board were timid, which slowed down its interest in adventuring at sea.
"I will tell them that I will fight in a while, and those who fight with me will survive, and those who refuse to fight will be treated as garbage and discarded. So you should be satisfied, right? Cross Scar spouted, "Damn, I'll never be that kind of messenger again." ”
"Very good, I'm satisfied. Just tell them that. The chill in Donk's eyes subsided a little.
Not long after Crossscar receded, a lifeless white ghost floated onto the deck, like a transparent white sheet.
Frankie said lightly: "They are not far ahead, and they are swimming towards this direction at a rapid pace. He added, "Boy, let these brutes know that they don't want to defeat the Sky even if they cheat at the bottom of the sea." Let them see the majesty of the ship. ”
"Just watch us perform. If you're in a good mood, you can help me deal with a few fishmen in a while. Donk's words were like flying pirate flags.
"Okay. I'm going to get the Dragon's Armor Black Blade. "Frankie is already familiar with Donk's soft grinding, and he will gladly participate in any battle related to the Sky.
The sky was still dark, and there were lingering shadows everywhere.
The bottom of the front of the Sky was crushed against the sea of blood, and the copper skin on the surface emitted a cold light like a blade, knocking a fragment of wood into the air. Two impatient Naga fishmen deliberately burst out of the sea, roaring in an attempt to intimidate the dragon pirates, but in return they received a murderous response. The Sky issued a barrel-forming flag, and the entire fleet began to turn with its left rudder full. But before the formation was set, a fish-man striker had already jumped out of the sea, intending to sweep from above and puncture the sails of the Sky.
Seeing this, a half-elf archer shot the poisonous arrow that was ready to be fired. The mid-air fish-man was hit by the arrow and landed on the deck. The pirates next to him shouted and pounced, slashing the fish-man on the spot.
This encounter has officially begun!
In order to smooth the formation, the six ships dropped depth charges as they moved forward, which were simple in construction and could use the pressure under the water to trigger the firing pin and detonate it directly. Before the depth charges were used, the pirates had already adjusted their explosive devices. They can make adjustments to make the bomb explode at different depths. Using a moving projectile to drop bombs on the surface of the nearby sea, the pirates quickly sink the lumps of iron before detonating with a muffled sound at the bottom of the sea, stirring up towering columns of waves.
At first, the Naga fishmen were caught by surprise by a few depth charges, and when the crowd was frightened, they immediately scattered in all directions, and with their superior speed, they were able to dodge before they exploded.
For the pirates, it was enough to put the Naga Fishmen off attack.
The Naga Fishmen were deterred by the depth charges, and their attacks were weak, with only a dozen fishmen rushing forward. To the surprise of the fish, their claws could not pose a threat to the thick copper bottom of the boat, not even scratching their claws! And those fishmen who jumped on the surface of the sea, due to their small number, are also difficult to become atmospheric. What's more, pirates' muskets and crossbows don't eat dry food.
A circular queue in the shape of a wine barrel was smoothly arranged, led by the Sky and biting the stern of the Serenade, and the six ships maintained an excellent distance, which could not only use the circle to form a crossfire network, but also ensure that the shells would not hit their own people. The flotilla looked at each other from end to end, and they were interlocking. The flotilla bravely folded its sails, a pledge of the pirates' determination to fight the Naga fishmen.
Depth charges can only serve as a deterrent, and the projectiles stop when they are in formation. The pirates then opened a number of barrels and, in pairs, poured the crimson jellyfish into the sea. The group of cold-blooded killers returned to the sea and began to swim gracefully. The Naga fishman, who didn't know the truth, bumped into these little killers, felt a tingling pain in his skin, and didn't care about it at first, but it didn't take long to find that he was paralyzed, his eyes were full of stars, and his internal organs were turning over the river and the sea.
"Red, little thing, danger!" The Naga people suffered and rushed to tell the story in the sea.
The purchase price of the crimson jellyfish was very high, but Tang Ke reluctantly paid for it and bought a full 2,000 of them. Fortunately, this jellyfish has strong vitality and reproductive ability, and after two months, it has grown a lot, as long as some of it is left to continue breeding, it can be used as an underwater weapon.
The Crimson Jellyfish were used as a second wave of offensive weapons, causing considerable distress to the Naga fishmen, who moved slowly, forming an invisible wall that hindered the Naga's attack. More than 30 Naga fishmen were killed and poisoned. The fishmen felt like thunder, but they were not saddened by the death of their companions.
The pirate battle started off to a victorious start, and Donk enjoyed it, patrolling the deck and occasionally pouring jellyfish from barrels into the sea to indirectly earn bonus points for killing the fishmen. With only a few hundred crimson jellyfish left, Donk ordered to stop using them and attack with another weapon.
Petroleum.
A large amount of oil was poured down and began to spread on the surface of the sea, like a layer of black cream, which clings to the surface of the sea without reluctance. The currents wash away the oil, but the fleet also goes with the flow.
The fish people paused for a moment, waiting for the crimson jellyfish to swim away, and then, with their excellent sense of smell, they could smell the strange smell of the sea, which was very unfamiliar, and they were wary of the unfamiliar. The fishmen launched a tentative attack, and only sent a dozen or so swim up, and these dozen or so live fish soon became dead fish, and the oil blocked their gills, making them understand that oil is very different from seawater!
The fish people were frustrated, but they didn't want to give up, they just thought that these pirates had come prepared, and their ever-changing methods were simply insidious! The fish people did not dare to escape the oil-covered sea, and there was nothing they could do about the sturdy bottom of the ship.
This stalemate lasted only a short time, and the pirates, unwilling to be calm, began to shoot at the bottom of the water with cannonballs, and despite blind fire, they hit a few. Among them, there was also an air bomb with a sharp effect, making a hissing sound at the bottom of the sea, knocking a hole in a fishman's chest.
Since cannons cannot be fired at an angle, shells are fired by spitting frogs.
The fishmen were so angry that they grabbed their scales, and they roared incessantly at the bottom of the sea, forming a symphony of rage. They waited for a long time, and the oil on the surface of the sea was finally washed away, revealing a blank space.
"Haha! Their black water, used up! Offensive! The leader of the fishmen excitedly gave the order to attack, and with its guidance, the surrounding fishmen turned into water arrows and shot towards the sea.
But the truth is that the pirates couldn't stand this long-term stalemate, and deliberately stopped pouring oil to lure the fish people to attack!
The fishmen couldn't penetrate the bottom of the ship, so they had to jump on deck and fight the pirates.
"Fire!" With a shout, six ships launched an artillery bombardment on the center of the circle, suppressing the fish-men who emerged from the circle, and the few shells were lucky enough to blow up the fish-men, which was definitely a one-hit kill.
The fishmen began to attack through the perimeter of the fleet, except for those who were killed by artillery fire and those whose gills were blocked by residual oil, there were about fifty fishmen on board, and this number of fishmen could never defeat fifteen hundred pirates! Through a lot of hard fighting, as well as the use of various weapons designed to restrain the fishmen, the pirate group won a great victory in this battle, killing hundreds of fishmen one after another.
"Listen, Naga fish, it's the dragon pirates who have defeated you! In the future, remember to honestly hold your tail and get away from me! The pirates raised their arms and shouted.
The fishmen, who are known for their ferocity, have suffered a great deal and have always been at a disadvantage in the battle, and all the fishmen who rush to the surface of the sea will not end well. In desperation, the fishmen had no choice but to give up the attack, but instead of going far, they sneakily watched the fleet.
Donk sent Frankie down to find out what was going on, and when he learned that the fishmen were not far away, he couldn't do it any longer, so he commanded the fleet to spread its sails and sail into the wind. In the process of advancing the fleet, "a thousand knives" fishing nets were thrown down. As the boat moves forward, it lets this spherical net hang from the bottom of the boat. A few days later, the pirates pulled the net and found several soaked fish-man corpses lying in the net. And the group of Naga fish people never appeared again in the next voyage, and it seems that they have learned to be obedient.
After this battle, Donk was very satisfied with the weapons he bought from the Little Pirate City.
