Chapter 339: Dragon Tortoise
Although the Knowing Dao Sea Clan should not dare to attack from the sea below the fleet, the pirate mages still did not dare to withdraw the liquid perspective technique. The magical depth charges on all of the Hellbandits' ships have been placed on the side of the ship, ready to be dropped.
Because the Sea Clan rarely attacked from the bottom of the sea after seeing the lethality of magical depth charges, the pirates came up with other ways to use these weapons.
Every pirate ship is now equipped with a varying number of small trebuchets. If these trebuchets are used to throw stones, they can only throw small pieces of stones, and they will not cause much damage. However, it's not the same if it's used to drop magic depth charges.
Originally, the pirates wanted to use artillery to fire magic depth charges, so that they could shoot farther. But since a daring pirate was blown to pieces by a bombed cannon, everyone abandoned this beautiful idea and used a more primitive trebuchet.
Compared to the two precious magic crystal cannons on the Pirates' flagship, this bomb dropper lacks both lethality and range. However, the Crystal Cannon is a very precious strategic weapon, and only two of the entire Prison Pirates have on their flagships. In contrast, bomb launchers with sufficient numbers and simple operation are more popular.
Facing the Sea Clan troops rushing in through the gap in the mine array, the entire Prison Pirates were ready to fight to the death. The catapults were ready to fire, the guns were loaded, and the bed crossbows were wound. Even the two magic crystal cannons on the flagship, which were easily untouchable, had enough energy to accumulate energy, and it looked like they were ready to shoot from a line that the fleet could get out of the way. Go out.
As the Sea Clan forces approached, the atmosphere among the pirates became very tense. However. Just as the pirates' emotions are accumulating to the limit. The various weapons on the ship are already on the verge of launch. Something happened that made them vomit blood.
The Sea Clan troops, charging between the waves, suddenly stopped swimming in unison just as Hammerstone was about to wave his hand and give the order to start a counterattack, and then retreated a short distance faster than when they charged.
Hammerstone relied on his powerful body control to stop the hand that had begun to wave, and let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't wave his hand, and now all the gunners and crossbowmen of the pirates can keep an eye on him, if the command to attack is issued, according to the current distance of these sea tribes, most of the attacks will not cover them.
The hammer stone that rejoiced in his heart was found in the next moment. He was a little early with joy. The atmosphere was extremely tense before, and the strings in every pirate's heart were very tight. The Sea Clans unexpectedly stopped moving forward and retreated slightly, instantly breaking the strings in the hearts of some pirates.
"Boom-" A huge crossbow bolt shot out of the sea and fell into the sea without hesitation. Originally, the distance that the Sea Clan stopped was the limit of the range of most of the pirates' weapons, and with them retreating a short distance, the crossbow bolt unsurprisingly missed any of the Sea Clan warriors.
However, while it didn't inflict even the slightest damage on the enemy, the bolt delivered a massive wave of attacks.
Everyone was nervous, ready to fire shells, bombs, and crossbow arrows; Now that he saw that the counterattack had begun, he was in a hurry to estimate the range of the weapons under his hands. They all followed the bolt and attacked.
For a time, bombs and shells flew on the sea. The crossbow arrows were the same color as boulders, and most of the Warden Pirates' warships followed the "Cloud Piercing Arrow" and fired the weapons equipped on their ships.
But then the pirates were embarrassed to find that countless shells, bombs, and crossbow arrows had covered a little bit of the sea directly in front of the Sea Clan's attacking force—in other words, their saturation strike was completely missed.
Hammerstone, who was standing on the flagship observation deck, had already jumped up angrily, and his face, which had been quite calm, turned completely black. "him! Which one shot with a pen?! Look back, Lao Tzu doesn't pick his skin!! ”
Don't get angry by hammering stones. Originally, less than 200 warships carried combat materials were limited, and this time encountering a large number of enemies, Hammerstone did not feel that he and his pirate group could still exist, so he pointed to the weapons carried by the ships to fight the enemy to the death and earn enough money.
Now a salvo has consumed almost a full seventh of the fleet's combat materials, and if they all attack the Sea Clan, how many enemies can be dragged into the water! Now they are all thrown into the sea in vain, and at most they have received some spray.
Moreover, this round of strikes was originally intended to be launched when the Sea Clan was halfway through, so that it could temporarily block the follow-up enemies while inflicting huge damage. It also gives the pirates time to reload and reload.
But now the Sea Clan troops were still in a dangerous group, just outside the attack coverage, and were not killed or divided. Correspondingly, the pirates' weapons are temporarily unable to launch the next round of attacks immediately after they are fired, and they must reload their ammunition and rewind their bed crossbows.
That said, the pirates are now in an awkward gap for attack. Not to Hammerstone's expectations, he clearly saw from the flagship lookout that the Sea Clan troops had seized the opportunity and began to charge through the gap in the mine array at full speed.
Instead of attacking in a sharp arrow as usual, the Sea Clan's attacking team formed a horizontal line, and the square array team charged. Originally, this formation would have suffered great damage under the pirates' artillery fire, but now that almost all the weapons on the pirate ships were loaded, the Sea Clans chose this most unscrupulous swarm of swarm charging formations.
At the forefront of the sea tribe is a group of bubble fishmen. The reason why they belong to the low-level sea clan is to rush to the front in order to use their bodies or lives to expel those magical mines that slip through the net in the forked lightning. After the Bubble Fishman, it is the main force of the Sea Clan.
Hammerstone quickly calculated in his mind that although the Sea Clan charged at an astonishing speed, the pirates would still be able to reload their weapons and launch a counterattack before they could catch the ship. In the blink of an eye, he commanded the pirate ships that were at the forefront of the Sea Clan's attack, and quickly re-laid some of the remaining magic mines on board.
But the plan can never catch up with the changes, and the Hammerstone's response cannot be said to be incorrect, but there are other places where things go wrong.
While the pirates were rapidly loading their cannons, trebuchets, and winding their bed crossbows, the pirate mages who had maintained liquid perspective shouted one after another.
"There's something floating on the bottom of the sea!" "The Sea Clan has attacked from below!" The chaotic sound of warning made Hammerstone look out into the sea below. Thanks to the liquid fluoroscopy, which had not been undone, he had a vague view of the seabed.
In the deep sea, dozens of huge oval black shadows are rapidly rising. As these oval-shaped black shadows gradually approached the surface of the sea, Hammerstone could vaguely see that these black shadows seemed to be turtles?!
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Hammerstone scolded fiercely in his heart. A turtle the size of Nima?! Just kidding! The oval-shaped black shadow that floated up from the bottom of the ocean was indeed a group of turtle creatures. But what Hammerstone didn't know was that they weren't turtles, but dragon turtles, a powerful class that the Naga had just been able to train for!
There are about fifty dragon tortoises, and one individual is half the size of a warship, and its thick back armor is covered with hideous bone awls, which is particularly powerful and domineering. The four stout, scaly legs seemed to move slowly, but their massive bodies rose at a speed that was definitely not slow.
Hammer Stone vaguely saw that under the gap between these dozens of huge "turtles", there were faintly several larger black shadows. But because of the giant tortoise's obscurion, he couldn't tell what the larger black shadows were.
But one thing he was sure of - whether it was the giant turtle or the dark shadow beneath that, it was definitely the force that the Sea Clan used to attack the warships. Therefore, he took immediate measures.
"Idle brothers, hold me a depth charge and smash it at those turtles!" (To be continued......)
