Chapter 97: The First Round of Shelling

"Speaking of which, uncle, what did Skula shoot into your forehead before leaving, and it won't have any effect on you, right?" Takenaka is still a little worried about Lao Wang's safety, those two black rays just now, no matter how you look at it, there are a lot of disgusting tricks used by this high-level lord to control his subordinates, but don't do it.

"Oh, this. Lao Wang said nonchalantly: "It may be that this old lady is more of Andariel's face, but she didn't have any disgusting private goods mixed in the black light, what was implanted in my brain just now is actually a route." As he spoke, he shared the blue light curtain showing the address, there was a Tan Liang at the scene, especially the performance of the people just now was still decent, and Lao Wang was not good at throwing the information into the team channel, looking childish.

"I guess it's supposed to be the location of the ship that Skula sensed, and threw it to us, but let's help her run errands as soon as possible, which coincides with our main quest, and I was worried about not being able to find a selector before, but now it's convenient. Lao Wang smiled.

His seafaring skills, surveying, were somewhat useful, and he simply studied the route given by Skulla, and found that the location was neither near the shore nor the distribution of islands, and immediately came to a conclusion.

"It should be like this, let's not patronize and say uncle, there is not only one black light in Skulla, isn't the rest of the way to the bow of the boat, let's go and see what's going on." "Zhu Zhongxin is delicate, and after caring about Lao Wang, he immediately began to worry about Xiulan.

As a result, the black light that hit the bow of the ship was also a benefit.

The bow of the Xiulan was originally the bow of the Virgin, which was very common on seagoing ships, and the sailors hoped for the blessing of the merciful Virgin Mary, and they would be able to return home safely every time they sailed, just like the descendants of Yan and Huang believed in Mazu.

After the black light of Skulla, the original elegant and dignified Virgin of Mercy disappeared, replaced by a miniature version of the statue of Skulla, the shape of the banshee is lifelike, the eyes seem to move, and it makes people's hearts hairy, but it is a rare nautical prop.

"Skulla's Ship Portrait: Excellent quality ship equipment item (cannot be brought out of the world of trial in the Age of Sail), this ship portrait can only be equipped by ships with three masts or more, after equipping, in non-naval battles, the ship's sailing speed is permanently increased by 10%, and the special effect of stunning sea creatures is obtained, the stronger the sea creatures, the weaker this deterrent power.

Description: There are still a lot of freaks on the sea who like to use the bow of the Skoula, but no matter how you say it, it is not as good as the deity himself made. ”

This thing is a typical prop that fits the world, and even if it can be brought out of this world, it is worthless, but in the world of the Age of Sail, it has a lot of effect.

Looking at it this way, the old lady of Skula is quite interesting, knowing the truth that the emperor is not a hungry soldier, although he supports the old king to work, it can be regarded as giving some benefits.

Despite this, Lao Wang still felt a little empty in his heart, because he originally thought that the issue of the Hell Bloodline might be solved this time by following the opportunity of Skula, but in the end, the bloodline only served as a stepping stone, and it was still a false shot, without any clues.

It's useless to think about this, the world of trials in the Age of Sail has officially begun, and they have more important things to do as selectors.

Lao Wang set the voyage according to the route given by Skulla, but the Xiulan did not have enough sailors but could not drive, and now the four of them also took advantage of the time when the people on the ship were unconscious and almost discussed, so they split up and slapped people in the middle, so as to wake up the boys in the boat.

The sailors were dazed and did not believe that they were still alive, and many people had the impression that the captain bravely rushed up to confront the sea calamity Skulla, and then the banshee somehow screamed and knew nothing.

When I woke up again, I found that my little life was still not to be said, even the Xiulan was safe and sound, and then I looked at the captain, and I was scolding energetically, not at all like I had just suffered an ocean disaster.

The men who run and live on the sea, because they often see supernatural phenomena, are quite confident in mysterious powers, and if their captain can escape after meeting Skulla, this is definitely a person worth trusting.

There are also attentive fellows who have discovered that their Madonna bow statue has now become a Skulla bow with twelve demon snake wrists and feet, and six vicious dog heads around his waist, this Mr. Van der Kamp is definitely not simple, just like that, the figure of the old king is really taller in the minds of all the sailors on the ship.

Lao Wang naturally did not tell the truth to the sailors, and simply vague and perfunctory past, which made his sense of mystery even worse, and the sailors were in awe and itchy in their hearts.

The shouts of the old king and the sober Ferdinand reverberated on the Xiulan again, and the ship moved in an orderly manner and headed for the intended target.

After another half a day, Skola's bow statue proved its value, and with the speed bonus, the Shirlan sailed into a strong north wind and ran at a high speed of nearly 13 knots, which is quite a remarkable number for an armed merchant ship.

The destination given by Skula is in the hometown of the mermaid - about 120 nautical miles north of Copenhagen, Denmark, I have to say that this beautiful female kraken is really not an ordinary person, the beacon she gave is actually a living point on the map of Lao Wang, and with the change of time, the beacon is constantly changing.

Lao Wang took the chart, asked Tan Liang to pull it away, spread it on the long case next to the helm, and compared the position of the Xiulan and the beacon.

The ship's speed was even, its course was stable, it was supposed to be a merchant ship, and from the wake of the live beacon, it seemed that she should have set off from the port of Hamburg to Copenhagen, and at this moment the ship drew an inverted V-shape on the sea, bypassing the sharp corners of the Danish land, and now it was just against the direction of the wind, and the speed slowed down, and it would not be long before the Shirley would be able to bite her stern to death.

This is the case in naval battles, it is impossible to decide the winner in a short time, and it is for this reason, especially in the era of sails, that the two ships have obviously looked at each other, and the captains of both sides are just as close to passing through the telescope, but if they want to wait until the battle position and start to divide the victory and defeat, it often takes a day or two to do so.

Lao Wang skillfully drew two routes, he himself did not believe in his skill, he was already a very mature surveyor, even in the small bamboo, these days of steering, and the average old fur dog is not bad, only Mary's artillery skills have not been thoroughly tested in actual combat, but this matter is in front of you.

Denmark is a maritime peninsula country, the whole country shape is like a swan neck sticking out, on both sides of the swan neck, are Norway and Sweden, which makes the North Sea and the Baltic Sea divide here, on both sides of the swan neck formed a strait, the west is called the Skagerrak Strait, the east is the Kattegat Strait.

The Showland entered Northern Europe from Western Europe, passed through the Skagerrak Strait at an astonishing speed, and entered the upwind waters, and the skilled Dutch sailors put away the mainmast and sailed the wind, using the slope of the spinnaker to catch the wind, although it was not as ingenious and magical as the three sailors played on Lilu's small fly, the Showland still ran at a speed of nearly 6 knots in the headwind conditions, and so on for another half a day, and finally met the object they wanted to do 60 nautical miles north of Copenhagen.

"Grandma's. Lao Wang said softly, his brows were slightly furrowed, his face looked a little bad, and Skula didn't know if he was sincere, and the object of the arrangement for them turned out to be a four-masted Spanish-made Galen sailing ship, which should be larger than the Xiulan in appearance, which can be intuitively understood as the comparative relationship between eggs and kiwifruit, of course, the three-masted Xiulan can only be on the side of the egg.

Takenaka conducted a mental test after the Xiulan chased it into the measurable range, and then the little guy was covered in chaff, his face was pale, and he finally stood on the helm and didn't fall, and then, the words from the team channel explained everyone's doubts.

Lao Wang, they still don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and they always feel that they have experienced a good experience in each world on their side, and they have saved a lot of points, and they have strengthened their choices, as well as their teammates, this kind of emotion is easy to make people slack off, and it will also make you have a wrong judgment about victory, and now Lao Wang They have encountered it.

There are selectors on the opposite ship, the number is unknown, but there are definitely more than three people, in addition, there are also selectors with extremely high spiritual attributes in the opponent's team, judging from the level of his (she) direct spiritual attack in the direction of Takenaka's spiritual determination, this guy's mental power attribute level is higher than that of Takenaka, at present, the invincible uncle team is blind, and can only rely on the naked eye and observation to fight with the other party.

The ships over there were flying the flag of the Holy Roman Empire, and the flag of the Hanseatic League was down, and the flag at the bottom was not visible, and it should be an unknown small chamber of commerce.

The ship's waterline is quite deep, full of cargo, the mental power detection just now, coupled with the undisguised high-speed advance of the Xiulan now, the other party obviously already knows that the Xiulan is not good, but they have no intention of escaping, and the sailors began to retract the sails and turn the rudder to seize the direction of the wind.

Ferdinand may have been weaker when he met Skula, but he was indeed a good fighter at sea, and after carefully observing the other party's ships, he said to the old king beside him: "Captain Van der Kamp, the four-masted armed merchant ship on the opposite side has 18 guns on one side, nearly half more than us, and the sailors are also very skillful, if your next order is to go up and privateer, I will think you are an unwise person." ”

Lao Wang also knew that it was not wise, but there were also selectors on the other party's ship, and looking at this face-to-face posture, even if the Xiulan immediately turned into a little pigeon symbolizing peace, the other party would pounce on it like an eagle.

Wang Mancang patted Ferdinand on the shoulder and said, "Dear first mate, you must know that we are the ones who escaped from Skulla's wrists and feet just now, and I believe that good luck is on our side, give the order, and prepare for battle." ”

Ferdinand nodded silently, and after saluting Lao Wang, he hurried to the deck, and began to give combat orders, and the invincible uncle team also began to move, Mary slid to the deck along the rope of the lookout post and began to command the gun position, Takenaka mastered the rudder to correct the course, Lao Wang took Tan Liang to patrol the deck, cheered up the sailors, and kept promising high rewards, the sailors in the Netherlands may not be good at fighting, but if the battle is to ingest the silver horse sword, they are still screaming excitedly, after all, these people have just experienced Skula and not died, and now everyone is a scoundrel, and the whole Xiulan is filled with an outlaw atmosphere。

The two ships slowly approached, the distance became shorter and shorter, and Lao Wang had already seen the inscription on the side of the ship through the telescope - the seal, not only that, but he also saw that the gun doors on the side had been pulled open one after another, and the black muzzles of the guns were sticking out, and before long, there would be a steel monster with sparks roaring out of this dark and quiet cave, taking away countless young lives.

The danger of the battle and even death may be just around the corner, but the sailors on both sides still sang the ship song in unison, and several of them had already ripped open the collar of the sailor's shirt, slammed the hilt of their knives into their chests, and roared loudly.

"Sailing, it's really a man's romance!" Takenaka muttered, his little hands fine-tuning the rudder wheel as high as others, and his eyes were also murderous.

Mary was also excited, and she whistled, and seven or eight musketeers with good marksmanship entered the firing position on the side of the ship at her command, and she herself hid behind a plank that sealed the side of the ship, so that she could direct the gunners to fight and shoot at the enemy, without delay.

The helmsman on the opposite side was as good as Takenaka, and both ships were extremely careful to correct their direction as they approached, not giving each other a chance to form a T-shaped tactic, but despite this, Seal and Xiulan slowly shook together in this grinding sea duo.

Broadside to broadside, 200 yards away, Lao Wang and a tall man with a three-cornered hat on the opposite boat spat out the syllable: "Fire!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" The three-pounder guns on both sides were in a good position where they could wreak havoc, and when they heard the orders of their respective captains, the sailors who operated the guns immediately lit the fuse of the three-pounder guns with a fuse rope, and the angry three-pounder iron pellets with a terrifying scream pounced on each other.

Lao Wang clearly felt that his Xiulan shook violently, and hurriedly held on to the side railing of the ship, and when he looked at the seal steadily, he found that the other party was not comfortable, the side guns on her deck had been overturned twice, and the wooden hull looked like it was also damaged to varying degrees.

Wang Mancang was a little flustered inexplicably, the most dangerous place on his Xiulan was also the gun emplacement of the side guns, where could not...

Lao Wang turned his head to look at the deck gun position of the side gun, and sure enough, a three-pounder gun was also overturned, and the sailors were trying their best to return to the gun body to rescue the wounded.

There was also a pirate-like toned figure on the side of the ship, she stepped on the stubble of the ship's side railing with one foot, and Garand was aiming at the seal, with her dirty braids on the back of her head, a little stubborn, which made Wang Mancang's heart slightly hanging just now inexplicably settle down in the smoke of gunpowder.
