However, although this kind of thing is not common for Naga, if you can't cut it off like Morpheus Knight, you still can't completely incapacitate the opponent in a short period of time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the sharp pain caused the naga to twitch, the guy did not panic because of this, but opened his mouth like Barrett. The four sharp fangs were followed by a poison sac, and even Barrett would have been uncomfortable for a while if he had been bitten - indeed, Barrett had a good chance of being immune to that toxin. But in this environment, he didn't dare to bet on probability.

So at this time, he kicked the back of his leg, and then made a backhand. The blade slashed upwards and slashed directly into Naga's jaw. All that was heard was a series of cracking bones - there were so many tiny bones on the skull that it was like popcorn opening a box.

With the bloody head in the middle of the ocean, the rest of the Naga's body passed past Barrett with a twitch. Without the control of the center, even if the stump still had some vitality, it could no longer pose any threat to Barrett.

It's a pity that after Barrett took out the Naga, the remaining monsters took the opportunity to distance themselves from him - Naga creatures do have some hand-to-hand combat ability, but they are also natural warlocks, and when facing powerful enemies, they prefer to use spells to solve problems.

And the result of Barrett, who had just been close to him, was able to deal with a companion in the second half of the game, which further confirmed that only a sufficient distance was the wisest choice. After the fellows dispersed, they began to harass Barrett with spells one after another, forcing him to navigate between furious thunder and boiling steam.

Looking at the Naga swimming around him, Barrett compared the speed of the two sides and calculated the current distance. He confirmed that if he continued like this, he would only be able to catch up with two more Naga at most before the acceleration granted by the strange object was over. And when the effect of the spell has passed, when he faces those nagas, he will have no advantage in speed.

'I don't play with you anymore. With this in mind, Barrett ignored the Naga who were besieging him. After turning off the effect of the Accelerator Boots, he rushed in the direction of the Morpheus Knight's dash. He knew that the target chosen by the victorious Morpheus Knight must be those Naga's lair, and even if these Nagas around him avoided him, he could still find other targets there.

After discovering Barrett's move, those Naga, who were originally grinding at a safe distance, immediately rushed towards Barrett with a distorted face. The Morpheus Knight alone was enough to pose a great threat to these Naga's homeland. At this time, if Barrett is added, even if his strength is very different from that one, he knows that it will not be the last straw that breaks the camel's back!

These Naga didn't dare to bet on that possibility. Although they are not good creatures who live by raiding, they are loyal to their own people and tribes, which they gamble everything they have to stop invading enemies before their tribes are completely destroyed.

Sure enough, they followed. Sensing the Naga's response, Barrett continued as if he didn't see anything.

As the minutes passed, the Nagas who were chasing Barrett used their spells to form barrages in Barrett's direction. From the top, bottom, left, right, and side, they were coming towards Barrett - in the memories of those Naga, Barrett's colleagues who only held a long knife were quite limited in their ability to intercept.

In their opinion, under such a siege, at most, it would take one or two companions to suffer heavy losses, and they would have a chance to break through the defense line formed by Barrett's long knife. At that time, by virtue of their advantage in the ocean, they could completely entangle Barrett and strangle him to death - they were unwilling to take such a big risk before, but now they completely disregard their own safety in this situation.

But just as these guys surrounded Barrett, a whirlwind from 'Broken Peak' completely disrupted their attack. In front of the steel barrier, the Nagas were left with only scales flying in the sea, and blood oozing from their wounds.

After disrupting Naga's encirclement, Barrett, who was holding the 'Broken Peak', restarted to speed up - and then a bright light streaked across the dark deep sea like a meteor. Although the light was fleeting, the Naga in its path was also separated from his head and body. However, at the last moment, this Naga still had to give Barrett a good look temporarily. Its stump struck Barrett like a tensed bowstring.

In the face of the oversized 'rubber band' that came to him, Barrett didn't intend to eat the enemy's deathly counterattack. He controlled his ability to drill down directly, letting the writhing snake graze his head. However, because of this delay, the remaining Nagas managed to surround them again.

The flexible snake body was like being held in someone's hand at this time, and it was even winding towards Barrett from all angles. But to the great surprise of the Nagas, no matter how hard they tried their snake body and how perfect the angle of contact was, their movements could only slip away from Barrett's side - the big man holding the long knife was like he was covered in oil, and he couldn't leave his hands behind.

If a mistake is made in a battle plan that is not clear about the enemy's situation, it will cause very serious consequences. At present, these Naga have all lost their lives because of their own mistakes in a hurry.

Looking at the corpses floating around him, Barrett, who touched his neck, grinned, and then chased in the direction where the Morpheus knight was. It didn't take long for Barrett to see the mutilated Naga corpses in his sight. Apparently the Morpheus Knight came this way. Cleaned up these interceptors.

As he swam in front of Barrett's eyes, a large shadow suddenly appeared, and then a few bright lights flickered weakly in the shadows—the glowing hedrons and the plants of the sea provided a certain amount of light for the settlement. Not only did it make it easier for those nagas, but it also showed the way for the invaders.

This layout doesn't seem like Naga's handiwork! It seems that they have received the fruits of the labor of the previous fishmen. Looking at the mushroom rocks in front of him, Barrett's mind immediately made a judgment.

But just as Barrett was about to go deep into it to reinforce the Morpheus Knights, he found that the other party was actually coming towards him. Barrett, who saw this scene, froze for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, the Morpheus Knight had already come to Barrett's side and patted him on the shoulder. Then he stretched out his finger and pointed to it, and I took the lead in starting to float.

Compared to the speed of the dive, the two of them floated much faster - because they did not have to overcome the buoyancy of the sea, and they did not have to correct the direction while sneaking like before, they just had to rush upwards in one go.

After coming out of the water, Barrett immediately turned his head and patted his ass: "You're amazing, I've just arrived and it's over." ”

"I'm just trying to show my deterrent power and force the Naga to compromise. It's not like cleaning them all up, how can it take so long! The Morpheus Knight, who leapt into the sky on a Pegasus, showed Barrett his two rows of bright teeth after saying this.

Hearing this, Barrett immediately rushed up: "So that everything is going according to plan?" ”

"Yes, everything went according to plan. The Naga on the other side of the fleet will also stop attacking when they get a signal from their leader. The rest of the negotiation will be entrusted to the chief steward! Murphy Knight, who said this, paused specifically to wait for Barrett for a while, "Our mission has been accomplished. The final outcome will depend on what they can achieve at the negotiating table. ”

Under the leadership of the Morpheus Knights, the two of them quickly saw the frigate and the Boreham Collar flag fluttering on the mast. And on the sea around this fleet, the Nagas, who were constantly projecting spells, have also disappeared without a trace. If it weren't for the various gaps in the ship, I wouldn't have seen a fierce battle taking place here.

Before the two of them could land, the sailors on deck let out a burst of cheers that overshadowed it. Barrett, who heard the cheers, always felt something awkward - after all, this operation could almost be said to have been done by the Morpheus Knight alone. Is it better to beat the side drum than in the past! Rao is Barrett's cheekiness, and he also feels uncomfortable at this time.

Compared to the Morpheus Knight, who waved at the seamen with peace of mind, Barrett could only stand quietly beside him with his head bowed, temporarily taking on the role of a casual man. Fortunately, the embarrassing situation for Barrett quickly disappeared. The war has just ended, and there is still a lot of work to be done on the ship. Officers don't let the sailors waste their time greeting and cheering - it's all right to boost morale, but it needs to be done with moderation.

The Morpheus Knight then rushed to the post-war summary meeting, and Barrett, as a participant (witness) in the key operation, naturally had to follow.

In the hall where the battle meeting was discussed before, the five people who were the same as last time began to exchange their opinions.

Captain Kaplin, who had completed the post-war counts, was the first to speak: "In the clash just now, three sailors on board our 'Iron Curtain Barrier' were killed, and the remaining 12 seriously wounded will soon recover under the care of the priest. The damage to the ship's side is so severe that it will take about 1-2 days to be fully repaired at the current pace. At the same time, the underwater part also needs to be fully inspected to prevent accidents. ”

"Anyway, the negotiation takes a lot of time, so it should be okay to simply anchor here for 1-2 days!" Brierley, who was touching his fingers, suggested.

But Captain Kaplin, who heard that, didn't immediately agree: "Ask about the two sister ships first." If they're in the same situation as us, let's see if we can break down for a while! We can't just affect their progress just for us. ”

Of course, the reason why Captain Caplin said the same thing was probably because even in the middle of the voyage, the repair work that should have been done on the ship could continue. It's just that you need to be more careful when maintaining it, and the progress will be slightly slowed down. But these are tolerable conditions.

"There were no surprises on our side, except that Barrett was looking a little bad right now." Knight Morpheus teased Barrett in passing, "The Naga Commander here has agreed to negotiate, but don't push them too hard." You must know that the merchant ships that will pass next will not have such a strong force as us. ”

"Don't worry! I'll take care of the old man. "Briarley's steward was clearly a little unhappy with the Morpheus Knight's suspicion of his own level.

Captain Caplin suddenly interjected: "Anyway, this crisis has finally been resolved. This is thanks to your superior battles, Mr. Morpheus, and the foreknowledge of Mage Murphy. ”

In the previous battle, the reason why the powerful mage who traveled with the ship showed up so late was because he had gone to find a way to detect Naga's lair. Otherwise, no matter how strong the Morpheus Knight's combat power is, he will not be able to achieve such a result - after all, he does not know where Naga's lair is, and if he searches in this vast sea, he does not know that he will not have the result until the Year of the Monkey.

"The crisis is over, but there is still a short way to go, and we have no more information sources." Speaking of this, Mage Murphy stretched out his shriveled finger: "So please be careful, no matter how powerful the enemy is, as long as you know it in advance, you can be prepared." And those enemies who do not know at all, once they appear, will cause us great trouble. ”

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but the information given by the 'Jinghai Guardian' only ended up with these Naga. It doesn't say a word about the farther seas, so it's also a smear for these three frigates. And Master Murphy poured cold water on everyone when he just won the victory, also to prevent some people from being blindly optimistic - even if everyone present is an old man, who knows that there will be a day when the boat capsizes in the gutter!

"Everybody will be careful about this. Anyway, it is unlikely that it will be possible to understand what the threat is. If there is no way to arrange it in a targeted manner, it is not only possible to improve the level of vigilance. Captain Kaplin sighed helplessly.

Master Murphy smiled bitterly: "Then my old bones will work a little harder!" ”
