Chapter 298: Frustration
"There are a lot of skeleton pirates, and the one who blows the trumpet is a b, 'Undead Pirate Captain', a level 55 guy!" Ling'er quickly reported what she had seen.
"!" 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 must have gone 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, speed, and sturdiness.
But in terms of 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 likely to come from the Baksa family.
Then, the power and range of these cannons are very likely, far from being comparable to these magic crystal cannons of their own "Destiny".
From here to the opponent's battery, there is a distance of about 700 meters, which is beyond 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.
There were also three cannonballs that fell directly on the deck, throwing the shattered fragments of the deck into the air, and the wave of air brought by the explosion made Murong Xiaotian and them stand unsteadily.
At the same time, a raging fire ignited.
"Lu Dawei, retreat at full speed!" Murong Xiaotian roared wildly.
His worries really came true, the opponent's cannon not only had a longer range than his own magic crystal cannon, but also became much more powerful; 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, even the enemy in the fort behind the stone wall on the opposite side could hear it clearly.
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 fight the fire!" Murong Xiaotian roared again, and his figure crossed a line and rushed towards the fire; At the same time, the 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 he started.
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 rapidly, 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 enemy's shelling, the opponent's artillery was no less than fifteen.
In terms of quantity, it is not much, but in terms of power, it is the power of one and several magic crystal cannons.
They have also joined the ranks of firefighting, in fact, they can't do anything but be firefighters now.
The ship's crew members also quickly ran out, braving the fire to carry out emergency repairs to the damaged part of the 'Destiny'.
The "boom, boom, boom......" artillery fire continued, and the people of the "Destiny" were also 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; At a speed of 30 knots, it withdrew at full speed 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 world's first thief force.
In order to find these n who know how to make arts, it took a lot of effort from Wuhan University.
"Report our losses!" In the cockpit, Murong Xiaotian said in a deep voice.
"We were hit by five guns, four decks, a power furnace was damaged, and one crew member was killed!" An N 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 stone-walled artillery is firing for the first time!
"A crew member killed?" Murong Xiaotian's expression suddenly became extremely heavy.
n Unlike the 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, told Ah Si that he would erect a monument to me on the 'Destiny' and engrave his name on his face, and that he used his life to defend the dignity of our first thief in the world, and deserved our respect! Murong Xiaotian said solemnly.
This "Destiny" is also an all-encompassing world, even if it is n, it is also a living life in this world.
They have blood, flesh, and thought, and their lives deserve more respect than the players.
Players hang up and can be resurrected, but they can't!
"Yes!" Captain Lu replied with the same seriousness.
His mood was equally sad, these crew members were not only his men, but also his brothers.
"Damn it, kill all these brutes and avenge our crew brothers!" Furious Zhan clenched his fists in anger, and his eyes were about to erupt into flames.
"Revenge is certain, but we can't get there 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.
"It's not a problem, it will take three hours at most, and it will be restored!" Captain Lou replied in the affirmative.
"Good!" Murong Xiaotian nodded, then swept his gaze on everyone's faces, and finally landed on the face of the Absolute Wind, 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 n 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 by the 'Destiny' into the water, Murong Xiaotian gave a brief explanation to Captain Lu before leaving the 'Destiny'.
Soon, the raft came to the shore, dragged the raft to the shore, threw it on the beach, and the group drove in the direction of the stone wall.
