Chapter 65: A Victory Not a Victory
Barrett, who already had a plan in mind, immediately considered the possibility of breaking the game. Thanks to his previous humanoid meat grinder-like performance, most of the attackers on the deck chose to avoid fighting after seeing Barrett - there were still more enemies on the deck anyway, so why bother to gnaw on this hard bone! This would add considerable convenience to Barrett's operation.
In fact, after Barrett's last big show, the attackers had already targeted him. Otherwise, as soon as the gang jump starts, the attackers will not send those two light fighters who are dedicated to pinning him down. However, it seems that the other party's propaganda work is not doing very well. Barrett was not accurately informed of the danger to all the stormtroopers. Otherwise, the other party would not have been hacked to death by Barrett for a dozen before he reacted like this now.
Of course, this may also be the descendant of the troops in charge of the attack this time, looking down on the cannon fodder that was collected from the pirates before. So Barrett, who killed them to the ground, was also underestimated a lot. This situation is not uncommon throughout the ages, and there are countless soldiers who have been killed because of this.
Unfortunately, after looking left and right for a while, Barrett found that with the strength he was currently able to mobilize, he simply did not have the ability to decide the winner in a short period of time. By this time he was also starting to resemble Clematis. Bot couldn't help but miss the arrival of the mages in the team.
Although Rielly is not the most lethal plastic mage, she still inherits the characteristics of a mage's high burst. On such a chaotic deck, it is perfectly qualified to be used as a battlefield winner - the stinking cloud that hangs between the two ships alone can separate the attackers from their reinforcements in a short time.
When I grabbed the rope and swung in mid-air, I suddenly felt sick to my stomach, and if my hand slipped and fell into the water, it would be fine. The biggest possibility is to hit the deck or the side of the ship, maybe just one time and break the vertebrae, and then it is really worse than death.
When the time comes, the sailors of the Yorkshire Mariner will only have to work harder. Maybe you'll be able to drive them all down. As long as this batch on the deck is dealt with, it can be very effective in weakening the enemy's living forces. Judging by the size of the two galleys, there is a limit to the number of combatants they can carry. As long as this group of people is solved and then the other party organizes manpower, it will be necessary to worry about its own security.
It's a pity that in the absence of explosive spells, Barrett can only mutter: "It's a pity that Klamatis's domain spells are not suitable for combat!" Otherwise, there may be a turnaround! ”
"Not fit for battle? Who said my realm is not suitable for fighting anymore. At the very least, I won't be limited by enemy spells. "Although Claymatis. It's not that Bott couldn't hear what Barrett meant's words meant, but she still couldn't help but argue. Otherwise. In this case, there is no chance to even have fun in the suffering.
Since they can't make a final decision, then the players will only be able to deal with the attackers. Bodies continued to fall, both from the galleys and from the Yorkshire Mariners. Even the second officer, Ayers, who had been extremely aggressive in handling the captives before, was now lying in a pool of blood - a scar from his forehead to his chin, accompanied by his dead eyes, which made people feel extremely hideous.
Claymatis. Bote's mace was already unwieldy in constant collisions. After striking one of the assailants on the shoulder again, the mace's handle snapped off in the middle with a 'click'. The hammer that bounced off the opponent's shoulder by the reaction force swirled out. Amazingly, it didn't encounter any obstacles along the way, so it jumped out of the side of the ship and fell into the sea with a 'clatter'.
Thankfully, it's Claymatis. Bot was quite prepared for the unexpected event in front of him. Realizing that the weapon was damaged, she immediately smashed the shield of her off-hand into the target's face. Immediately after retreating, he dodged a counterattack from nearby enemies. Then he snapped his fingers calmly - and suddenly a brand new mace appeared in Clematis. Bot's hands. The Divine Ability in the Savings field is also very effective on the battlefield, especially when you need to switch weapons.
Fortunately, at the moment, the only one who has problems with the main weapon is Klaymatis. Bot alone - Lalu's catboy's claw blade is only its auxiliary equipment, not its main weapon. As for the rest, Claudia. Auditore's main 'weapon' was her voice, and the work at hand was a serious stroke. One of Barrett and Anvil uses an ancient weapon, and the other uses a magical relic. Pay what special circumstances have been encountered, otherwise there is no need to worry about this kind of problem most of the time.
However, now that it has become a protracted battle, Barrett's fighting style has naturally changed. If before, he was a boulder that slipped off a mountain cliff. Rolling on a rampage, it looks like it's going to crush everything. Now Barrett is like a finely crafted war golem, and every movement is not lost. Even dodging enemy attacks is chosen with the smallest pace.
At the same time, the use of striking skills has become more cautious. After all, this ability also requires additional physical exertion. Fortunately, Metal Storm's group attack ability still has a place to use when used appropriately. It consumes the equivalent of 3 normal slashes. In other words, as long as you hit three enemies at once, you don't lose money, and if you combine it with the efficiency of the sand, it can still be considered a profit. If you hit four enemies, you're going to make a lot of money.
Of course, one of Barrett's most important tasks today is to stabilize the front. Therefore, there is no way to rely on the help of the 'Heart, Eye, Vision' and the 'Silent Mage' to blossom in the center of the crowd as before. So a beautiful performance of 4 consecutive slashes did not appear again. But even then, Barrett, who has the ability to attack in groups (even if it's just in close quarters), is still like a tornado. Everywhere you go, most enemies are placed on the ground.
As time went on, the attackers finally became a little hesitant. Enough of them have died. However, it was still not possible to remove all the resistance of the Yorkshire Mariner. As the horns sounded, the attackers cautiously retreated to the side of the ship while staring at the seamen aboard the Yorkshire Mariner. They then grabbed the cable and returned to their own galleys.
"Did you finally leave?" Relieved Claudia. Auditore sat down on the deck, and the blood soaked through her pants at once.
Barrett nodded: "Unless there are magic weapons of the Holy Avenger's level hidden on this ship." Otherwise, the other party would not be able to fight with his two large galleys. Even the captain was hot-headed. The organized prison army will not let them go wild. ”
"But after working like this. Are they willing to go back like this? Not to mention the losses they have suffered because of the battle with us. "Claudia. Auditore was obviously a little worried that the other party would not give up. At the moment these are already two galleys. If there were three ships in the next comeback, the Yorkshire Mariner would have no hope of holding on.
In fact, after two successive battles, the Yorkshire Mariner suffered heavy losses in its own personnel and equipment. Unless you can enter the port for a break, as it stands. Not to mention three galleys. Even if this attack were to happen again, eighty percent would have to raise their hands and surrender.
Barrett looked at it at this time: "Remember your previous opinion? The opponent has no prior preparation from the caster. At present, this eighty percent is established. In that case, we shouldn't have to worry about the next attack. Because these two losses are enough to make the other party dispel the idea. Because with their strength, I'm afraid they won't be able to afford another loss in a short period of time......"
Barrett then shared what he knew with his companions, and the credibility of the words of support in this regard immediately increased. Claudia. Auditore hurriedly patted his chest: "So I'm relieved." But Barrett, can you be sure which organization is behind the other party? We have completely offended them this time! If you meet in the future, should you be careful? ”
"Offend them? Claudia, you're overthinking. Or maybe it's too much to look up to a few of us. Barrett just wanted to touch his chin, but when he found that his hands were stained with a lot of blood, he could only stop there: "Even if it is the relationship between the Church of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce'." After all, we are now in the period of carrying out the mission of the church, so they have to carry this pot. ”
"That's right! Our fight with those guys is part of the church's mission. So it doesn't come up to us at all. "Claymatis. Bot also affirmed Barrett's statement.
But at this time, Anvil suddenly spoke: "But the opposite may not dare to go to the trouble of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' church!" There are few stronger forces on the Western Continent than it. They can't get angry. It doesn't necessarily turn the target to us. ”
"Huh! Rather than turning to us where we may not be able to find it. It would be better to wait until we are gone, and then use the rested maritime armament to seize the Yorkshire Mariner one more time. Barrett spread his hands, "That approach is quite feasible." And it doesn't offend the church that has assigned us to this task. However, it is unlikely that the leader of any force will be a willful person, otherwise he would not have gotten to this point......"
Just as there is no such thing as no true friendship between nations, but only eternal interests. The leader of any large organization cannot act on his own preferences alone. Whether he is willing to do it or not, he must defend the interests of the organization in order to be able to sit in his current position. Otherwise, not to mention the opponents and follow-ups within the organization, external forces may seize on your behavior and cause it a heavy blow.
So it's like sending someone to deal with Barrett and his party in order to take a breath - although it is true that he has encountered such a brain-dead (a certain son of the Kingdom of Lucia) in the game, but it is also capable under certain conditions (the other party originally came to Ulrike to make trouble). Otherwise, the probability of such a thing happening is no less than buying a lottery ticket and winning the lottery.
That's when Captain Rollins approached the players, "This time it's really thanks to you. Otherwise, I would have sunk into the sea with this ship. ”
Barrett shuddered when he heard this. He found himself reacquainted with the man in front of him who could get along with the underground water hand at this time. It is important to know that the lion's share of the plundering at sea is often not the cargo, but the ship itself. It's like someone collecting dirty goods. Dirty ships are excellent trade goods.
Moreover, in today's developed maritime transport, as long as the right broker, ships are often easier to sell than ordinary goods. After all, in this world, there are no registration procedures for ship keels and engines. Even if it is a ship that has been plundered by pirates, as long as it changes its appearance slightly, it is not afraid that the owner will come to the door at all.
Therefore, in naval warfare, the attacker often tries to ensure the safety of the target ship. The mode of combat is also dominated by the living force that kills the target. Otherwise, if the ship sinks, it is not only a loss of a large fortune. Some seem to sink too fast, and if they don't even have time to move the goods, they will lose all their money - looting is only a means, wealth is the ultimate goal.
Therefore, what Captain Rollins said can only show that the other party still has something to hide. This was the back-up that allowed him to sink the Yorkshire Mariner with him when the situation was unfavourable. Let the actions of those attackers this time be empty.
Of course, if that's the result. Players may not be able to avoid the burial of the Yorkshire Mariner. Thinking of this, Barrett was very glad that he had not hidden it before, otherwise Captain Rawlings would have chosen the means to die together because the battle situation seemed unfavorable. Blood-stained gray flowers, this is too wrong.
"Mr. Rollins, I think there are some things that I still don't know, but I feel more at ease." Speaking of this, Barrett immediately changed the subject, "By the way, Mr. Rawlings, do you have any thoughts in your mind about the attacker this time?" If you've been traveling to and from the North Sea all year round, you should be able to guess which organization they belong to! (To be continued.) )
