Chapter 64: The Deadlocked Deck

This is the first time that the 'Golden Lion Statue' has been destroyed in battle and transformed into a male lion. According to the instructions included with the purchase, it will continue to repair itself for up to a week. It is said that some custom-made 'Golden Lion Statues' can effectively shorten this time, but the price is a bit unaffordable - and the bloodstained Grey Flower Squad at the time did not have access to this.

Claudia who has lost a big boost. Auditore immediately fought and retreated. In the process, a light steel shield that is more than the others gives her an extra layer of security. The pirate's scimitar is indeed not powerful, but that is also for the slatted armor. Like Claudia. Auditore and Clematis. The chain mail worn by Bot still looked a little fragile under the slash driven by the other party's tendon flesh.

After the 'sonorous clang', a dense number of scratches like fishing nets appeared on the shield. Under its protection Claudia. Auditore himself, however, was scarlet in his right leg and behind his back. It's just that some of the severed metal rings are embedded in the wounds, and every movement makes Claudia . Auditore frowned - this was still the case of the other party lowering the perception of pain, otherwise this woman in modern society would probably not have much fighting power left.

After swinging a scimitar with the nail head in her hand, Claudia. Auditore finally allowed his back to touch the mainmast on deck. With her back to the facility, she breathed a sigh of relief. Shielded by the thick mast, it was very difficult for the attackers to attack her from behind.

Claudia. Auditore before the wound. It was precisely because he was attacked by the attackers that he was caught off guard for a while. This performance also has something to do with her lack of battlefield experience. However, for a player who has only been in the game for more than 1 year, her handling can be called excellent.

Know the player who fell into that situation and was forced to consume a Resurrection Stone. There are countless in the game. Claudia. Auditore was able to escape at the cost of two wounds, and if he could make a video and post it on the forum, it would definitely get a high number of hits.

Unfortunately, the wounds on her body still affected Claudia. Auditore's state, facing the two sturdy men who were chasing, her expression was slightly bitter. Fortunately, Barrett, who had his hands free, rushed to the side of the real master in time. The icy sword light dispersed the two less powerful pirates.

Claudia with her hands free. Auditore gasped for breath as he gently pinched the 'emerald vine' bracelet on his wrist. She kept looking at the battle on the deck, as if trying to find a suitable place to be released. It's a pity from the very beginning of the battle. The warring sides were all mixed into a pot of porridge. This made the Thorn Bush useless for a moment as the Emerald Vines could conjure up - after all, it was the same effect as most group spells, but it was friend and foe.

The seamen aboard the Yorkshire Mariner were as brave as they were in the face of an attack, and their individual strength was comparable to that of a trained militia (by the standards of Boreham). In the Kingdom of Cruze, they already have the level of a regular army). However, they obviously did not have any formal tactical and platoon training, and when they started fighting, they immediately became a mess. This leaves most casters unable to send reinforcements.

Of course, for the merchant ship 'Yorkshire Mariner', such tactics were the best choice for them most of the time. After all, they simply can't afford to raise a spellcaster with a ship, and in such a situation, they will get into trouble with the enemy in battle. On the contrary, it can effectively reduce one's weakness in supernatural powers. The enemy is even if it has a spellcaster. At this time, they often dare not use a wide range of spells.

Of course, if it's a regular pirate, it's also difficult to get a decent spellcaster. If it were a few warlocks, it would be fine, although the number of them who used the power of the bloodline was scarce. However, it is also possible that they tend to be radical and like to do whatever they want, and they are mixed in with pirates.

However, although scholar-type mages are not very rare, they can only be piled up with a large amount of money and a stable learning environment. The presence of such a person among pirates is a rather strange thing. If there are one or two, it can be said that it was an accident. But if there are a large number of casters of this type, then the words "There is a conspiracy behind this" are written on the sails.

But even so, the Yorkshire Mariner was still afraid of encountering a baptism of spell when it encountered pirates. After all, those pirate ships are only likely to have no spellcasters, and the Yorkshire Mariner itself usually has absolutely no spellcasters. They will make such a choice. It's a completely understandable thing.

"Claudia, can you continue now?" Barrett, who kicked away a pirate, asked without looking back.

"Give me 10 seconds." Claudia. Auditore let go of the 'emerald vine' he was holding, and then pulled a silver test tube from the belt around his waist and brought it to his mouth. Bite off the cork and drink the liquid inside. As the agent flows down the esophagus, it flows into the body. The magical power stored in the potion was activated. The two wounds on the real master's body began to converge automatically, and they quickly returned to normal.

At this time, Clematis was killing all sides in the midst of the enemy group. Bot suddenly sent out a distress signal: "Which of you two can do it for me!" ”

"It looks like Clematis's ongoing form is coming to an end. Then I'll go over first. After saying this, Barrett immediately rushed to Klymatis with the 'Broken Peak'. Next to Bot. After taking out the pinker, he was immediately called the firefighter on deck. Wherever the situation is wrong, I rush there, and I am so busy that my legs never stop.

Successful replacement for Claymatis. After Bot took over the enemy she was facing, the priest reblessed himself as he retreated. After the outbreak, the priest will not fall into weakness like a barbarian, but without the help of spells. Their combat effectiveness will still plummet.

But Clematis. The auxiliary spells mastered by a priest of Bot's level are those few over and over again. It took less than 20 seconds to regain combat power. But Barrett's concern was what would happen if the pastor's persistent state expired again this time. The number of magic that level 5 priests can use each day is very limited, and usually 2 blessings are enough to drain all their spell slots.

Klaimatis rejoins the fray. Bot. Again use his mace to open the pirates one by one. But in terms of killing efficiency, she is definitely far inferior to Barrett. But even with the super-level performance of the Bloodstained Grey Flower Squad, the battle on the deck of the Yorkshire Mariner was still unclear - the balance of victory had always been wavering.

"Damn! If only Lily were here. Her fireball skills can definitely teach these damn guys to be human again. After angrily smashing his enemy's cheeks with a mace, he looked at the yellow-toothed Clematis. Bot couldn't help but complain.

Barrett, who stabbed the enemy in front of him with a cold light, responded as he rushed forward: "Are you preparing to burn their ship in flames?" ”

Claymatis. Bot's idea actually has some viability. While the Fireball spell is just as good as the enemy, the long throw range and the effects attached to the flames can make it a brilliant success in this environment - now that both sides are mixed in with the deck of the Yorkshire Mariner, it would be nice to target the fireball on the enemy ships.

On the other hand, of course, the 'emerald vines' can't do that. The first is that this strange object has a limited projection range. Claudia. Auditore wanted to use it on enemy ships, and he was in danger of being besieged. And in this situation, it would not be useful to let the thorn bushes appear on the deck of the enemy ship.

It's not like the burning caused by fireballing. With the help of the sea breeze, the fire may sink the other party's galleys into the sea. In this way, the enemy's rear route will be cut off, and the opponent may choose to abandon the attack and go back to put out the fire. Even those who persist in fighting will be more or less demoralized. As for the small probability event that the morale of the last battle will be greatly increased. If you really encounter it. The tone is too bad, and I can only admit it.

"What's the use of you talking about this now! No matter how many shouts you make, there's no way that Lily guy will be on this ship in the next second. "That's when Claudia. Auditore was breaking through the harassment of the attackers and began to move closer to his companions. In her mind, the closer you are to Barrett, the safer you are.

After another 'metal storm' swept away the attackers around him, Barrett began to pay attention to his stamina gauge, which had already consumed a quarter of his stamina. Taking two steps back, he gasped: "These guys are really endless. However, since so many people have been discharged, the other party should not be left without a spellcaster. Even if it's saving money, it's not so economical! ”

Because he didn't believe that the other party was an ordinary pirate from the beginning, Barrett was wary of the enemy's natural forces that never appeared. After all, it is impossible not to arrange for the caster to accompany the army if it is possible to establish an organization and a regime for the armed forces at sea. It's not that hard for them.

Take Boreham's small sailor as an example! Every three-masted schooner goes out to sea for a cruise. Both have at least 2 military mages and 1 military priest. The former is a spellcaster who has signed a contract with the Boreham Lord, and the latter is a deal between the realm and the Church of the 'Lord of Notary'. Although most of the time. They were all only able to make soy sauce on the boat. But without both, the morale of the seafarers will inevitably suffer. Not to mention the role it can play when you really encounter an enemy.

"I think it's probably because the other party hasn't been able to prepare for this in advance!" After successfully parrying the enemy's scimitar with the shield in his hand, he hammered past Clematis. Bot took the moment to say, "After all, it's only been a few days since the last attack!" It was not easy for the other party to find reinforcements in such a short time. It's normal to not find a caster, too. ”

"Isn't it standard to have spellcasters on their ships? In this case, I think the journey will be much easier! As he said this, Barrett turned around and swung it, and immediately slashed the 'pirate' that was about to go around. As soon as the guy bumped into his companion, the two of them turned into a rolling gourd.

Claymatis. Both's speculation is true if it is true. As Barrett said, as long as it can survive this wave, the Yorkshire Mariner's journey will be smoother. After all, an organization that can't equip its own naval forces with spellcasters is usually relatively limited. It is impossible to afford too many ships.

You must know that the century-old navy is not just an empty word, from the training of personnel to the production and maintenance of ships, it shows that the navy is a branch of the army that requires people, money, and technology. Just to keep a three-masted galleon in operation, Boreham Collar has to invest a staggering amount of gold every year. Although the galleys in front of them were relatively cheap to maintain, and occasionally a household could be subsidized with some smuggling goods, it was still not a cheap deal - the money could at least feed a regiment of 1,000-2,000 men.

Generally speaking, a hematite-rank mage who has signed an employment agreement with the force will only have an annual annuity of about 2,000-3,000 gold coins (this is the most basic basic salary, and there are additional subsidies in case of action.) At the same time, the spell casting materials are reimbursed by the employer. If the other side can't even come up with this money, it is clear that the number of maritime weapons it has is absolutely limited.

According to Barrett's estimates, 3-4 galleys were already the maximum that the organization could sustain. This is to be able to defeat the invading enemy this time and inflict heavy damage on the opponent. Even if there is a lot of interest, the enemy should not attack again.

Because that would be risking all their maritime armament. In the event that the Order's hard-earned maritime power were to suffer, the ripple effects would be more than a single ship's cargo could compensate—for once there was a vacuum, competitors would soon emerge that would normally be hidden underwater. (To be continued.) )
