"The two of us went over and had a look. www.biquge.info Murphy Knight glanced at Barrett as he spoke, then rushed out with a kick in the belly.

Barrett, who watched the knight go farther and farther, had no choice but to rush forward at this time: "Mr. Morpheus, you are waiting for me!" Don't you go so fast? ”

And the Morpheus Knight, who was speeding ahead, did not give Barrett any response at this moment. Instead, he pulled out a short stick that hung from his chest and put it to his lips and muttered something.

At this time, Captain Kaplin was writing a logbook in his duty room. In the abundant light, as his wrist moved, there was a rustle of the scroll under the tip of the pen - the stern of a battleship is usually rarely attacked by artillery fire, so the captain's duty room here has a window with glass. Not only does it provide a good view, but it also allows for good lighting.

Suddenly, Captain Kaplin felt the 'text' stick on his chest begin to vibrate. As the words of the Morpheus Knight, 'A pirate ship appears at ten o'clock' echoed through the duty room, Captain Caplin's quill in his hand immediately left a spot on the scroll that needed to be dealt with.

He immediately threw the quill back into the special box beside him, and while disposing of the scroll and inkwell, he shouted outside: "Kissinger, call the officer, second officer, and marine captain here." There is an urgent situation that needs to be dealt with. ”

Captain Caplin, who knew what the Morpheus Knights were doing, naturally understood that when they spotted the enemy's tracks, they were often able to leave themselves relatively more time to prepare. That's why he was able to prepare for battle in such an unhurried manner - in order to give his subordinates an unfathomable illusion. If the news had come from the lookout, he would have rushed out in a hurry.

With the arrival of those dignitaries on the ship, the combat meeting of the 'Iron Curtain Barrier' officially began. At the same time, the pirate ship on the azure water became clear and concrete in Barrett's eyes—the slightly greasy sails glowed in the sun, and the jagged safety net left a lot of holes. What's more, the hull of the ship is as pitted as a hundred clothes, and the surface is very uneven.

And the unevenness is not a shape peculiar to the overlapping process, but rather a breakage and patch that is usually caused by poor maintenance—Barrett is certain that the other party is using a less strong seamed hull. Such ships are not designed for combat on their own, but the pirates have no choice.

The reason for this situation is not difficult to understand, pirates are a creature that almost everyone in the Western Continent shouts about. Even those involved in them would not be able to provide them with dry docks to repair when they were allowed to sneak into the harbor – the risks exposed were so great that few would be willing to bear the consequences that might follow.

In addition, as mentioned beforehand, it is difficult for pirates in this world to establish a base. Therefore, the appearance of the pirate ship that cannot be overhauled is naturally very poor. At the same time, this appearance also indicates that the hull is not in good condition, and those potholes will not only affect the speed of the boat, but also affect the strength of the hull.

"Mr. Morpheus, you don't plan to kill the two of us alone!" Barrett, who was following behind the knight's fart, couldn't help but shout at this time.

Hearing this, the Morpheus Knight finally slowed down a little: "Didn't we also break through the Naga group before, are we still afraid of the group of pirates below?" There is only one ship in front of us, and there can be no problem. ”

Barrett thought about it, and he really couldn't find a reason to refute Morpheus Knight's opinion. Because the vast majority of pirates are simply powerless to fight against the Naga tribe they encountered before. Since even those guys were killed by the Morpheus Knights, these pirates in front of them are naturally not a problem - of course, the main reason is that there have been no pirates in the Western Continent, otherwise the Morpheus Knights would not have such confidence now.

"But is there really no need to involve the fleet as well? It's not good that the two of us took all the credit! "Since strength is not a problem, the only thing Barrett needs to worry about now is factors outside the battlefield.

But the Morpheus knight was also prepared for this: "Just let them sail the ship back then." This is also no small military feat. And now that the fleet is losing so much, the captains are more worried about the battle damage. ”

Barrett, who found that the Morpheus Knight had arranged everything, could only follow behind at this time to see if he could perform better than before this time. Anyway, with the Morpheus Knight, Barrett can only beat the side drum - but before he was a dead performer, and now he is trying to work hard to get promoted to a supporting role.

As the two of them galloped forward, soon the lookout on the pirate ship also spotted the two small black dots that appeared in the air. The thin man with leaky front teeth turned his head and sounded the alarm to the guys on the deck after his eyes widened and saw the target in the sky.

In Barrett's line of sight, the pirates on the deck seemed to be in disarray. But in the chaos, those who make a living from looting, can accurately find their own position. Before Morpheus Knight and Barrett could get closer, several pirates with crossbows looked up at the two of them.

In the bow and stern, several pirates were busy adjusting the ballistas placed there. I don't know if they are not skilled enough to operate such a large device, or if the equipment itself is a problem due to poor maintenance. After lifting the tarpaulin for a long time, the two big guys still haven't changed significantly.

Looking at the pirates on the deck, the Morpheus Knight did not have the slightest detour plan, but sped up head-on - the attack tactic is the best option for most long-range projection troops to effectively reduce their combat power. Barrett, who understood this, naturally followed in the footsteps of the knight and turned into a dive bomb.

"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh" had no experience in dealing with such situations, but the pirates relied on their combat instincts to pull the trigger. Immediately after that, the crossbow bolts flew towards the two people who fell from the sky. Unfortunately, like pirate ships, their crossbows are poorly maintained and are clearly under-frequented.

Looking at the slow crossbow bolts flying towards him in twos and threes, Barrett didn't even use the 'Broken Peak', and dodged them in a few sideways. And just as they were about to hit the deck, both of them made a ninety-degree turn as if they had violated the principle of inertia, directly knocking the pirates on the deck to the ground. Before he could even hit the ground, Barrett swung the 'Broken Peak' and slammed it into the faces of the pirates who were still standing nearby.

"Boom!" This was the sound of the scimitar being knocked off by Barrett, and the 'bang' was the collision between the pirate and the deck. In a few moments, Barrett fell beside a large number of pirates. However, in order to catch as alive as possible, he controlled each of his attacks well. Most pirates were able to save their lives after they fell.

Of course, the main reason why Barrett was able to do this was also because the pirates in front of him were not enough to threaten his life - if it was like the previous sea beast attack, Barrett would not have the extra energy to spare his hands at all.

And while Barrett was on a rampage on deck, the Morpheus Knight swooped down on the stern - clearly intending to prioritize the mid-rise there. Usually the upper deck of the aft cabin of this type of sailing ship is the cabin of the chief officer, helmsman and other officers. Below near the stern was the captain's quarters.

After a while, the battle on the deck had stopped - the pirates were not elite divisions that would fight to the death, but after finding that Barrett did not mean to kill them all, he compared the strength of the two sides and decisively chose to surrender.

And not long after, the Morpheus Knight also came to Barrett with two unconscious guys: "The group of guys below the deck, leave it to the sailors on the ship to solve it!" I don't have time to go out into the cabin and play cat and mouse with them. ”

Unfortunately, not all pirates will choose to surrender, and some pirates who believe that they will be hanged if they are captured, the notorious group, choose to retreat below deck to resist or lurk. Trying to catch them one by one has become a time-consuming and laborious task.

"You're deliberately giving credit to those Marines!" Barrett immediately saw what the Morpheus Knight meant. After lowering the pirate flag and changing to a white cloth, the two waited quietly for the arrival of the fleet. Of course, the reason they dared to do this was because they both thought that the pirates below the deck couldn't make any big waves.

If it was a real sail battleship, Barrett would never dare to do it. Because the ships of that time were actually placed on a powder keg. However, in the current world, the price of fire and ammunition is expensive, and this pirate ship has no gun window, so this concern can naturally be ignored.

Two quarters of an hour later, the Iron Curtain Core was the first to approach the pirate ship. Then the Marines wore light paper armor and wore scimitars and hand axes pinned to their waists, suitable for naval warfare. Gripping the cable, he dangled to the deck at this end.

It's different from the two people who are leisurely waiting for reinforcements on the deck. The Marines rushed to the key parts of the pirate ship as soon as they could—like a textbook run to the entrance and exit of the deck between the first and second floors of the stern.

These entrances and exits were the connecting passage between the bilge and the stern, and were a shortcut if the pirates in the bilge were to fight back - there were two entrances to the stern, one leading to the upper deck, from which the upper deck could be accessed. It is also possible to ascend to the aft deck - where the helmsman takes the helm and the ship commands, by means of stairs on both sides.

The other entrance is on the upper deck of the stern and leads to the inner deck. Of course, this entrance is usually locked, so that any conspirators from attacking the stern from the lower deck through this entrance.

Of course, when the enemy boarded the ship and jumped into the gang to fight, this stern was also a support point for resistance. But they are now in the hands of the valiant Marines. The only thing left to do was to prevent the pirates from fighting back, and wait for news from the warriors who had entered the deck.

…………

When a closed hatch appeared in sight, the solemn-looking Marine immediately waved his hand behind him, signaling his companions behind him not to be too reckless—the most feared thing at this time was capsizing in the gutter, and an experienced hunter often became more and more cautious as he got closer to success.

At the sight of the gesture, the four sailors immediately retreated to the sides of the cabin. The Marines stepped forward and pulled open the hatch as they hid behind the door.

"Wow! For! After that, two more arrows appeared in the cabin where the five men were. The sharp arrows had sunk into the ship's planks, leaving only the buzzing shafts and swaying tail feathers.

Seeing this sharp counterattack, the Marine let out a sigh of relief. This proved that his previous caution was not wrong. However, I don't know how many enemies there were, or how many of them had already wound their crossbows, and they didn't dare to charge in this narrow defense.

In such a place where there is nowhere to dodge, if there is no shield. Facing those crossbows behind the door, forcing a breakthrough is a foolish idea to kill yourself. The guys inside also seem to want to use this to create a stalemate.

But how could the well-prepared Boreham Navy not have a way to deal with such a situation? Through the open hatch, the Marines swiftly threw in a round stone projectile. After the explosion of "bang", the special sound wave caused the pirates in that cabin to stagger - at the same time as the eardrum ruptured, the human balance receptors in the vestibular apparatus of the inner ear, including the three pairs of semicircular canals and the utricle and balloon of the vestibule, were traumatized. The balance of the pirates affected by this has also dropped dramatically. Even if you are a mage, you have a good chance of failing to cast a spell in this situation.

With the vibration caused by this violent sound wave, even the top deck trembled. It was as if the whole ship would have been shaken apart if it had been any stronger. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Marines who rushed into the cabin waved their blades. Then the recalcitrant pirate fell to the plank.

This happened again and again below deck, and the Morpheus knight on the deck couldn't help but kick the side of the ship next to him. For it appears from the preliminary interrogation that the pirates were not hired to deal with the Boreham fleet. It's just that this area was originally a place where pirates often used to rest—because ordinary ships wouldn't come in at all, so the risk of exposure was low. (To be continued.) )
