Chapter 338: Fork Lightning
The warships on the periphery of the Prison Pirates' fleet had already received the order from the flagship through the flag, and quickly released all the magic mines loaded on the ship into the sea. The entire fleet had also stopped moving forward, preparing to rely on mine formations to defend itself.
However, despite the fact that the flotilla was surrounded by mines, the pirates did not feel safe in the slightest. As time passed, the Sea Clan forces were gradually surrounding. Now even the pirates on the deck can look at the countless approaching vicious sea tribes around them.
When they didn't really see the approaching enemy, but just the lookouts gave warnings, the pirates didn't think it was serious. However, when his own eyes saw the large number of sea tribes churning in the water, almost all the pirates were stunned.
This Nima hasn't met the Sea Clan for more than half a month, and it's such a big wave? The number of attacking sea clans is also a bit too rebellious, right, for a long time, the pirates of the Prison Pirates have always been relatively proud of their own strength and that of the pirates.
Whether it is in terms of individual strength or team division of labor, there are a large number of alien races of the Prison Pirates, which are much stronger than the average pirate group. Just like in the case of lookouts, the Hellpirates with elves as lookouts are often able to spot enemies before other pirates.
But this pride was shattered when facing the Endless Sea Clan. Like the regimental commander Hammerstone, the pirates of the Prison Pirates can see that such a number of enemies are simply not something they can resist. For a moment, the pirates' faces became ugly.
Fortunately, at this time, Hammerstone's order had been conveyed, and relying on the discipline cultivated for a long time, the pirates of the Prison Pirates did not fall into a panic situation. Ships on the periphery were mined. The ships on the inner deck used small boats to transport their own magical mines to the outer ships.
Meanwhile. The pirate mages in the fleet have also complied. Liquid perspective is maintained almost everywhere in the sea where the fleet is located, so as to prevent the sea tribes from sneaking up from below the fleet.
Looking at the approaching Sea Clan troops, Hammerstone decided to stay on the mast of the flagship himself and take command. But before he could do that, he had to make sure that the teleportation mages in the fleet had contacted any support.
Looking down, Hammerstone saw the elven lookout who had been sent away from the lookout to inform the teleporter mages for support had hurried from the back of the flagship to the deck. Seeing that the elven lookout's face was not good, Hammerstone's heart tightened, and he shouted.
"Long ears, come up to Lao Tzu." It's not that Hammerstone is dissatisfied with the elven lookout. It's that he's always called himself. The elven lookout was also accustomed to it, and climbed the mast and came to the side of Hammerstone.
According to Hammerstone's character, under normal circumstances, he must have asked about the situation at the top of his voice. But when he saw that the elven lookout had an ugly face, he probably didn't have any good news. Because he was afraid that if he got bad news in front of everyone, it would definitely affect morale, so he asked the elven lookout to go up to the lookout again to ask questions.
"Long ears, what did Laurie say?" Hammerstone asked in a low voice. Laurie is the mage of the fleet who specializes in magical telecommunications.
The elven lookout adjusted his mood and replied to Hammerstone in a somewhat heavy voice. "Boss, Laurie has managed to get in touch with the rest of the fleet," he said. He smiled wryly.
Without waiting for Hammerstone's urgent questioning, the elven lookout then told the bad news. "But. Even the closest fleet to us would take a two-hour voyage to reach us. And there was only one, and the closest fleet to us was even a five-hour voyage. ”
Hammerstone accepted the unfortunate news with a calm face, but his heart was cold. Two hours? Hammerstone even felt that in front of the Sea Clan, which looked like tens of thousands, the Prison Pirates would not be able to hold out for even an hour. And, even for two hours, he didn't think the support of a pirate fleet would make a difference.
Looking at the formation of the Sea Clan, even if three or four pirate fleets are gathered together, as long as they pay a certain price, the Sea Clan can swallow them in one bite.
We underestimate the Sea Clan too much, this time, I'm afraid the Prison Pirates are in a catastrophe. Hammerstone already had such an understanding in his heart. Immediately, there was a hint of ruthlessness on his rough face. Hmph, damn Sea Clan, if you want to eat my Prison Pirates, even if you die, you will bite off a piece of meat!
With no hope of survival or escape, Hammerstone has made up his mind that he can kill as many sea tribes as he can. He believed that the Shadowbolt Organization would avenge him.
It's a pity that Hammerstone didn't know that the catastrophe he suffered was brought to him by his fellow pirates in the Shadow Island organization. If it weren't for Yorick's small actions, there wouldn't have been just one pirate fleet within a two-hour voyage around the Prison Pirates.
The time chosen by the Sea Clan to attack was the perfect time for Yorick to inform them through Yu Fei. Otherwise, if there are several other pirate fleets in the waters near the Prison Pirates, although the Sea Clan can destroy these fleets with all their might, it will be more than worth the loss.
What Yu Fei hopes for is to control the Shadow Island Organization, not to destroy the Shadow Island Organization. If the pirates and the Sea Clan really fight on a large scale, it will not be beneficial to Yu Fei and Tang Yijia. A Shadow Island organization that has lost too much will not be able to achieve Yu Fei's goal of containing the human countries in the east.
Just when Hammer Stone, the leader of the Prison Pirates, made up his mind to fight to the death with the Sea Clan, and as many enemies as he could kill, on a coral bed carried by four Naga thugs on the sea in the distance, Tang Yijia watched the pirates hurriedly arranging defensive measures, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
I saw her Huo Ran get up from the coral bed and look at the mine array between the Prison Pirates and the Sea Clan troops. Slowly raising his right hand, Tang Yijia snorted softly, and then a writhing electric light appeared out of thin air, radiating from the front of the coral bed.
"Fork lightning!" The electric light looks like a tiny lump in front of the coral bed. But while flying towards the water mine array, it gradually expanded and dispersed, turning into countless golden electric snakes that spread more and more. Almost in the blink of an eye, the scattered electric snakes were all over the sea where the mine array was located.
"Bang, bang, bang-" "Bang-" "Bang! "After the electric snake bombarded the sea where the mine array was located, the magic mine placed there by the pirates was instantly triggered by the powerful lightning and exploded directly. Thousands of magical mines were detonated at the same time, blowing up huge columns of water on the surface of the sea, and even causing a small tsunami.
A small tsunami caused by the detonation of a mine array was nothing to the Sea Tribes, who had been ordered to retreat some distance early to avoid the current. But for the Prison Pirates, the tsunami caused by the mines they planted caused a lot of trouble for themselves.
Fortunately, as one of the four major pirates of the Shadow Island Organization, the pirates of the Prison Pirates are all experienced seafarers, and they did their best to ensure that none of the ships on the periphery were overturned under this small tsunami.
However, the magic mine array that the pirates relied on to hold on to the Sea Clan was destroyed in Tang Yijia's forked lightning. Facing Tang Yijia's direction, the magic mines were almost completely wiped out, and they were all detonated by the electric snake; Mines in other directions were not detonated, but many were dispersed by sudden small tsunamis.
The current Prison Pirates can be said to have opened a gap by the Sea Clan. Along the sea area where the mines were cleared by Tang Yijia's forked lightning, the Sea Clan troops could drive straight in. And just as the pirates thought, in the midst of the crests of the waves caused by the aftermath of the tsunami, the Sea Clan began to attack.
Without the protection of the magic mine array, the only things the pirates could rely on were the guns and bed crossbows on the ships. Magical depth charges are only most effective against Sea Clans attacking from below, otherwise they can only be thrown as grenades. (To be continued......)
