CH.03 Scuttling the Boat
At this time, the Dragon Teng had already plunged headlong into the fog and sailed due east.
With the rudder in one hand and the wind dancer in the other, Anrui controls the course and the direction of the wind, striving for maximum wind power. Occasionally, he couldn't help but look back, but it was a futile move, and he couldn't see anything behind him except fog. The mist was like a white wall, blocking his vision.
This situation can be described as a mixed bag, with the good being that the Vikings can't see them and the disadvantage that they can't see the Vikings either.
Viking ships could penetrate the white fog at any time and appear nearby. Once this happens, it will inevitably lead to a bloody battle.
I don't know when, Anrui's back was already wet, and the sweat soaked through his clothes.
The others were also watching nervously, listening to movement in the white mist, catching suspicious sounds.
Suddenly, an unusual sound of rolling waves came, and the sound was not very loud, and if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear it at all.
"Anrui, listen!" Shafi's eyes showed surprise, and she whispered.
Anrui frowned, listened intently, and soon heard the unusual voice.
It seems that a ship is approaching this way!
An Rui's face changed slightly, and he quickly twisted the rudder and swung the wind dancer to the southeast, changing the direction of the wind that shrouded him. Whipped by the strong winds, the Dragon Teng headed southeast, trying to avoid the approaching ship.
The speed of the Dragon Teng at this time was not unfast, but it could not completely shake off the sound, if you listen carefully, you can still hear some movements. In that voice, there was not only the sound of the waves, but also the sound of orcs talking!
This chase and evasion lasted for a short time. A few minutes later, in the northwest, a black shadow slowly emerged from the white mist, which coincided with the outline of the sailboat.
"Get ready for battle!" An Rui looked sideways at the silhouette of the dark shadow, gritted his teeth, and let out a low sigh.
After all, this battle could not be avoided, but there was nothing to be afraid of, and by now, Anrui had already thrown the negative emotion of fear out of the clouds.
The black outline became clear, revealing a skeleton bow of the ship, followed by the bow, the mast, and a pirate flag waving in the wind. On the flag, there is a skull pattern wearing a horned helmet. Above the hull, the light of the totem flickered.
This is obviously a special ship of the Vikings, but it is not the Baige, but another ship, which is inferior to the Baige in terms of combat power. For Anrui's side, it is a blessing in misfortune.
"Found their ship!"
"Attack! Offensive! ”
"Ha Lu Ha! Tremble! You can't escape! The ship that we fancy will be grabbed for whatever it is! ”
The orcs shouted and screamed like a herd of beasts, and the sound resounded across the sea.
Under the control of the orc pirates, the bow of the beast bone seemed to slowly open its mouth, and a bow cannon door opened, and the muzzle of a black hole was pushed out. There was a noticeable change in the drumbeat of the ship, and a totem light appeared on the cannon, and this cannon actually had a totemic effect!
The flames rose from the muzzle of the cannon, and a violent force quickly condensed.
At the moment, only this one ship has caught up with the Dragon, but there is no need to guess and the orcs will soon spread the news of the discovery of the Dragonton to the rest of the fleet. Therefore, there is not much time left for Anrui's side to fight, and once it drags on for a long time, it will inevitably fall into a stalemate of being besieged!
"Hold on, I'll find a way to scuttle the enemy ship!" An Rui let out a loud shout, flipped his wrist in a circle, and stabbed the Wind Dancer's sword the rudder, and in this violent way, fixed the course of the Dragon Teng, as well as the direction of the surrounding wind.
Anrui took three steps and two steps, flew off the bridge and jumped into the sea, piercing a huge wave. He swam in the sea a few times like a fish, stretched out his right arm in the middle of the sea, and released the Ice Tide Dragon.
The dragon pet stretched its waist, shook its tail, opened its mouth, and spat out a huge bubble at its owner.
Protected by blisters, An Rui took a deep breath of the abundant air, his eyes lit up, and swam towards the bottom of the enemy ship, he wanted to dig a big hole in the bottom of the enemy ship!
However, this goal is not so easy to achieve, this Viking ship is escorted by several sharks, this shark can not only serve as a mount, but also quite good in terms of combat power, it is an extremely fierce fish.
After the shark spotted An Rui and the Ice Dragon, it immediately formed a circle and gathered away.
An Rui's eyes swept and hurriedly counted, there were twelve sharks, which was already quite terrifying.
"Ice Tide Dragon, help me stop them!" An Rui's eyes lit up, and he secretly ordered through his mind.
The Ice Dragon opened its mouth, let out a roar of rage at the bottom of the sea, and then rushed headlong ahead.
The shark has a certain amount of intelligence, it is smarter than the average shark, and it knows how to fight. They split into two and formed two squads, which surrounded An Rui and the Ice Tide Dragon, respectively.
An Rui had no Wind Dancer, so he had to pull out the Thundering Sword, which was just right for him to use in the middle of the sea, no matter where the enemy was, he could conduct thunder and lightning through the seawater. As for An Rui himself, as long as he holds the Thundering Sword, he doesn't have to worry about being attacked by thunder and lightning.
"Smack!"
With a piercing sound, a golden arc of lightning burst out from An Rui's hand, like a crooked snake, hitting a shark. The lightning swelled, split into six, and carried along the water to several other sharks.
Several sharks were so shocked that they were trembling all over, and they froze in place, rolling their eyes one by one, obviously not lightly injured.
An Rui's hand was unceremoniously, frantically urging the power of the Thundering Sword, and scorching the sharks fiercely.
Not far away, the Ice Dragon also fought with several other sharks, tossing and biting each other in the water. The two sides fought fiercely, and soon blood was scattered from the battle.
"Boom!"
At the same time, the battle on the sea has begun!
The bow cannon of the Viking ship blasted out a heavy cannonball, which hit the middle deck of the Dragon, and even with the blessing of the iron-walled scroll, the wooden plank could not completely block the force of the cannonball, and it was blasted out of a large hole. Unabated, the shells flew into the middle deck, hit a gun, and staggered it.
The Dragon was shelled, but there was no way to fight back with shells, because there were no gunners on board! Moreover, the stern belongs to the weak part of the sailing ship, and generally only a small gun will be installed, and there will not be much firepower, and even if there is a gunner on the ship, there is nothing that can be done.
Fortunately, there was still an archer on the ship, so he didn't fall completely passive.
Berego hid behind the stern guardrail, tightened the bowstring, and took a deep breath. He suddenly turned around, stared at the enemy ship shrouded in mist, and with the fastest speed, aimed at a human head phantom, and shot the arrow in his hand.
The moment the arrow flew out, another arrow shot at him from the opposite side, grazing Bereg's cheek and leaving a trail of blood!
Berego was so shocked that he was sweating coldly, and quickly shrank back behind the guardrail.
Obviously, it must have been the archers on the opposite side who spotted Bereg, so they shot back with archery. The opponent was able to launch a counterattack in such a short period of time, which shows that he is also a very powerful archer.
"Interesting." Berego touched his injured cheek, letting the blood stain his fingers red. His eyes swelled with fierce fighting intent, and it was a blessing to be able to fight an enemy of this level.
With his head bowed, Berego quietly walked to another position, remounted the arrow, ventured to his feet, and shot an arrow at a standing man on the enemy ship. The moment the arrow came out of his hand, he immediately squatted down again, not daring to stay longer. Sure enough, at the moment when he just crouched, a powerful arrow flew by, and finally nailed to the mast, and the tail of the arrow shook incessantly.
In this way, the two ships engaged in a fierce battle back and forth, and since it was a chase, the battle was not so fierce. If the two ships were to move in parallel, the battle would have become much more intense, as the main firepower output of the sailing ships was on both sides of the hull.
Rao was still suffering from the slightest injury, and the shells and arrows hit the hull from time to time, leaving wounds of varying severity. The sound of sawdust splashing was like the wailing of the ship's hull.
In the bottom of the sea, An Rui used the Thundering Sword to electrify several sharks, broke through the defense line formed by the sharks, and successfully came to the bottom of the enemy ship. He clenched his sword, his body spun rapidly in the water, and the blade outlined a circle of strong cold light, forming a whirlpool that slammed into the earth, tearing at the wood at the bottom of the ship.
Circles of scars appeared on the bottom of the ship, then the scars quickly expanded and deepened, turning into a gap, and finally into a large hole!
Anrui's offensive did not stop because of this, but continued to rotate, like a huge drill bit, expanding the hole.
A large amount of seawater rushed into the hole and spread through the cabin. Water underneath a ship can be a deadly threat to a sailboat.
An Rui withdrew his hand, glanced at his results with satisfaction, and then aimed at the other part of the bottom of the boat, and slammed his sword over. One big hole alone is not enough, and I don't know when the tunnel will be able to drag the ship to the bottom of the sea, and it will take several holes to form a sufficient threat.
While An Rui was scuttling the boat, the Ice Dragon had been protecting him, stalking the rest of the sharks.
A large hole was dug into the bottom of the ship, and the noise was naturally small, which soon alarmed the pirates on board.
One after another the orcs screamed and came to the bilge, rushed to the bottom of the sea through the hole, and as soon as they saw Anrui, they immediately brandished their weapons and attacked.
I have to say that these orcs are really fierce, and they dare to fight deep into the bottom of the sea without oxygen supply.
Seizing the last bit of precious time, Anrui punched a third hole in the bottom of the enemy ship, and then turned his attention to several orcs who had gone deep into the bottom of the sea. He knew in his heart that there was no time left for him to continue destroying the bottom of the ship.
