Most of the pirates will enter the state of battle, and they will never see the usual giggling and casual state appear!

Because the pirates who have been licking blood at the edge of the knife for many years know very well that when they are not concentrating during the battle, they are simply joking with their own lives!

The reason why the pirates are at a disadvantage is because the combat effectiveness of the merchant ship guards on the opposite side is too strong, and the guards holding Western swords can always dodge the pirates' attacks like the enemy when fighting, and immediately counterattack!

Especially the leader of his guards, his combat power is even more ridiculously strong, holding two Western swords, he just picked up a simple stab, and directly picked off the sailor knife held by a pirate in his hand, stabbing a pirate who rushed forward!

Moreover, whenever a guard was about to suffer a heavy blow, he was able to immediately provoke the pirate's corpse with a sharp and light Western sword at the moment of stabbing the pirate, and threw the corpse at the attacking pirate, successfully blocking the pirate's attack, so that the merchant ship guard could react in time.

Therefore, under the strong leadership of the leader of the guards, more than a dozen guards faced many times the pirate elite, and there was actually a trend of stifling and counterattacking!

In just a dozen seconds, the enemy caused nearly ten casualties to the pirates, and the enemy did not even show up a single death, only one of the guards was seriously injured, but this guard was also immediately escorted back to the back.

Nearly ten of them were killed, but only one of them was seriously wounded, and most importantly, it was in hand-to-hand combat, which the pirates were best at, most familiar with, and most proud of!

What a shame for the pirates!

By this time, even the most brilliant pirates knew that the guards on this merchant ship were definitely not ordinary characters.

After all, if even the escort of a merchant ship can compete with elite pirates in hand-to-hand combat, oh no, it should be said that one escort can compete with two or three elite pirates. 35xs

Then the power of pirates in this era will not be so rampant.

As we all know, the pirate power in the Middle Ages was gradually declining until the magazine function of the arquebus was designed, gunpowder and firearms completely occupied the mainstream of warfare, and the sail ships were replaced by ironclad warships!

Before that, the power of piracy was rampant and could compete with the state.

The main reason why pirates are able to compete with the state is because pirates are brave and fierce in hand-to-hand combat.

On the contrary, the British Royal Navy relied on strong ships and guns, and was more good at long-range.

Therefore, it is conceivable that when the pirates found that they had to use two or three pirates to compete with a merchant ship escort, they instantly felt that something was wrong in their hearts.

Joke! If the merchant guards were so powerful, would pirates still be as rampant as they are now?

The pirates have long since changed their careers and gone ashore for good!

At this time, after the pirates suffered nearly ten casualties, the number of pirates dropped from more than 30 to less than 20.

The original numerical advantage of several times that of the enemy was still beaten like this, not to mention that the ratio of the number of people on both sides is not much different now!

Therefore, in an instant, most of the pirates who rushed forward suddenly hesitated, making the momentum of the forward rush also stagnate!

The pirates hesitated, but the merchant guards didn't.

It is worth mentioning that although the merchant guards had the advantage at this time, it could be clearly seen from the expressions on their faces that they had already expected such a result, and they did not even show a trace of joy or surprise.

Undoubtedly, this confirms the fact that these merchant ship guards are certainly not ordinary merchant ships!

Under the stabbing of the merchant ship guards like a storm, the pirates were actually beaten back!

What's worse is that under the protection of the merchant ship guards, the musket team of the merchant ship also changed their ammunition at this time and raised their guns to aim at the pirates. Flash Dance

If the pirate side is just an ordinary pirate team, then it can be said that the battle is decided.

After all, in hand-to-hand combat, the pirates were actually suppressed by the enemy, and in long-range combat, the pirates did not have the slightest advantage, so in this way, the battle was simply against the merchant forces!

But unfortunately, this time the merchant ships are not just facing ordinary pirates, their master is a summoner with a powerful summoning ability - the contractor Nightfeng!

In the face of his subordinates who were crushed back by the merchant guards, it was certainly impossible for Ye Feng to watch his men being slaughtered without taking action.

It's just because at the beginning of the battle, he really didn't expect that his subordinates would be suppressed and countered in hand-to-hand combat!

It's not just that he didn't expect such a result, I believe that even most pirates would never have thought that such an outrageous thing would happen at the beginning of the war.

It is precisely because of this that after dozens of elite pirates swung to the enemy ship on the opposite side through the rope hook, although at this time, Night Edge had already sensed through Huskar's eyes that the merchant ship he was facing this time should not be a simple character, but he was still quite assured of the ability of his pirates in close combat.

He believes that even if the enemy is strange, the dozens of pirates under his command are not easy roles, and even if they can't easily defeat the enemy, they can at least delay until the arrival of the follow-up troops!

So thinking about this, Ye Feng directly took out the corpse stored before and used the skeleton summoning ability, and then waited until the two battleships collided together, and it was just the time for the skeleton warriors to attack!

After all, although the ability of the skeleton warrior is strong, the pirates who are waiting for 6 or 7 are not the opponent of the skeleton warrior!

The problem is that the skeleton warrior has a simple fighting instinct, and is not like a pirate, who has the intelligence to catch the hook on the edge of the enemy ship and then fly through it!

This kind of operation, to be honest, is very difficult for even ordinary humans to do without training, let alone skeleton warriors whose intelligence is not even comparable to that of ordinary humans?

So when he found out that his men were being fiercely suppressed by the enemy in melee combat, he was in the middle of a spell that summoned skeletons.

It was precisely because of this that he was unable to support the pirates who rushed to the enemy ship in time!

At this time, seeing the musket team on the enemy ship aiming the muzzle of the arquebus at the only dozen pirates who jumped to the deck of the enemy ship, Ye Feng's heart couldn't help but tighten!

Fortunately, in the next second, the skeleton summoning spell he performed was also coming to an end.

Along with the pitch-black sacrificial circle on the deck, a strong pitch-black light emanated, but a horse cry of "Xiao Xiao" suddenly came out from the black fog of the circle!

When the black mist cleared, I saw a skeleton horse composed of white bones, but it jumped out of the circle.

And on the back of the skeleton horse, there is a skeleton knight holding a 3-meter-long dragon lance!

Unlike the skeleton warrior who is only equipped with simple iron armor, the skeleton knight has steel armor that covers the whole body, and the skeleton creatures that are originally highly resistant to physical attacks, plus the steel armor that covers the whole body, it is no exaggeration to say that relying on the current firearms of this era, in addition to being hit head-on by the artillery, the lead bullets fired by ordinary arquebuses are not able to cause effective damage to the skeleton knight at all!

And it's not just the skeleton knight's body covered with armor, even the skeleton horse he sits on is also covered with steel armor, but the skeleton horse's body is only covered with a layer of armor from the head to the back, and the legs and tail are still exposed.

But even so, it's actually quite perverted!

Judging from the appearance alone, the Skeleton Knight has really thrown off the Skeleton Warrior more than two streets, not to mention that the Skeleton Knight's combat attributes are also much stronger than the Skeleton Warrior!
