Chapter 90: The Muddy Sea

On the three-masted sail in the center of the fleet, a man with half of his face covered by a mask stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the wooden ship without sails, his eyes full of gloom.

Frightened by the thunderous cannons, if it weren't for the prestige of his Monkyrie, I am afraid that these rabble would have fled. In fact, the four brigs pressed up from both flanks had begun to hesitate with their indomitable momentum.

"Thor! It's the power of Thor! ”

"Is that wizard crazy? Isn't he afraid of waking up the Kraken sleeping at the bottom of the sea? ”

"Could it be...... His strength has surpassed three stars?! ”

Listening to the violators' trembling voices, Monkyrie's face was so gloomy that it almost dripped.

It was this incident that was most worried in his mind now.

For wizards, Samsung is the same watershed.

Wizards below the three-star level are still constrained by secular forces and will be injured by mortal swords, such as those sword masters who use martial arts to spy on the mysterious realm, dragon knights who have signed contracts with dragons, or descendants of ancient heroes, all of whom have strength that is not inferior to that of three-star wizards. But if it is a wizard above the three stars, unless the chosen one who is blessed by the gods, or the awakened human queen, who has stepped into the mysterious realm, there are not many existences in this world that can restrain them.

This is also the reason for the detached status of the college.

Legend has it that the academy of the wizarding continent located outside the world, the lecturer of each academy is an existence of more than five stars, and the deans of each academy have reached a terrifying existence with nine stars in a ring. It's just that for some reason, the wizards of the academy are not interested in this resource-poor world, and only come to this world when they recruit apprentices.

The wizards of the Academy do not have a conflict of interest with the gods of the outside world, and the power of the wizards does not come from the beliefs of mortals. Monkyrie's eyes flickered slightly, he could now be sure that the strength of the wizard on the other side was at least three stars, and maybe even four stars short of the door.

However, he should not have been born in a traditional academy.

In this way, as long as you take the risk of using that move, there is no possibility of fighting with it.

Monkyrie's gaze crossed the rough waves and locked on the cloaked young man standing on the deck.

Suddenly, he spoke.

"Rush over."

"What...... What the? ”

The first mate, who was standing next to him at the helm, looked at him in amazement, and thought that he had misheard, that Captain Monkyrie, who was known for his cunning and cunning, would give such a scheming order. The three-masted Jackdaw is the flagship of the fleet, and if the flagship is in danger, it will be a devastating disaster for the entire fleet.

"I don't want to say it a third time, rush over!"

"But ......"

The first mate wanted to say something, but before he could say a word of dissuasion, a big hand grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up as if he were lifting a chicken.

"Clickβ€”β€”!"

His eyes were wide and almost bulging out, and the first mate clasped his hands tightly on his throat, begging for mercy as he looked at his boss as he tried to break his almost suffocating hand. To his despair, however, he didn't even move a finger.

His neck twisted in an incredible arc, and with a soft click, the hapless first mate drooped his head and died completely.

Throwing the corpse aside, Monkyrie shook his right arm, his cold eyes swept over the subordinates next to him, looking at the faces that did not dare to take a breath, and finally stopped at a strong man with a beard,

"Now you're at the helm for me," said Monkyrie, looking at the shivering man, "let's strike them directly to the side with our ramming angles...... Of course, you can also choose to decline. ”

"Obey, obey ......"

The man nodded tremblingly, almost biting his tongue because he was so nervous.

"Good."

Monkyrie nodded in satisfaction and walked in the direction of the bow.

……

The roar of cannons, the white mist of steam and the smoke of gunpowder mingled with the sound of the waves crashing against the side of the ship to form a stirring symphony. Like the chains of death, the raging buckshot crossed the rough waves, flying sawdust and stumps mixed with blood everywhere they went.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Captain Kerut understood the essence of the gunboat's firefight, and when the port firing was finished, he slammed the rudder and aimed the starboard side at another enemy ship for a second salvo.

"Haha! Well played! ”

The rain slid down the ravine of his cheeks, and his face, which had been blown unconscious by the storm, turned red with excitement. Seeing another brig with its sail broken and anchored in the wind-swept sea, Kairut flicked his fist excitedly.

At this time, the two brigs that came from the right side finally approached the range of the ballista fire at the sacrifice of their teammates.

A fist-sized ballista whistled in, scraping a cloud of sawdust on the deck of the White Seagull. Two sailors were unfortunately shot, one of them had his skull shattered, and the other was disembowelted by a stone directly in the chest.

Jiang Feng, who lowered his body to avoid the stone bullets, happened to catch a glimpse with his peripheral vision, and Leia, who was standing at the stern of the boat, quickly shook out his right hand playing with the bowstring, and whizzed two arrows into the head of the pirate who was loading the ballista on the opposite side.

The movements of his hands were non-stop, like a rifle strafing, and in an instant, six or seven people had fallen under the shadow of the ghost-like arrows.

A salvo of ballistas did not dampen the high morale of the White Seagull. The gunners on the side of the ship struggled to clean the cannon fodder from the barrel with sticks, then took out the powdered powder and shells wrapped in oil paper and stuffed them into the chamber, and finally finished reloading before the second salvo of the corsair's ballistas.

"Fire!"

With a roar from Captain Kairut, four cannons rang out in unison. The side of the brig sail was actually torn apart by this round of salvo! The sea rushed in, and the pirates on the deck screamed and jumped into the sea to escape.

One brig sail was sunk, one was heavily damaged by artillery.

On the deck of the White Seagull, there was a triumphant cheer.

The flotilla on the right has completely collapsed, and a breach has been torn open in the siege network organized by the pirates. The White Seagull, which broke out of the siege, will completely leave those pirates behind with the terrifying speed brought by the steam engine.

However, at this moment, a gloomy wind blew.

All the pirate ships flying the white crow flag on a black background, suddenly, as if they had been stimulated, surrounded the white seagull that was about to escape.

Standing on the side of the boat, Jiang Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.

Almost at the same time, a stream of pitch-black energy entwined all the pirate ships that surrounded the White Seagull. Even without the help of the intelligent brain to measure the speed, he could intuitively feel with the naked eye that the speed of all pirate ships had increased to the extreme in an instant.

The cheering on the deck gradually stopped.

Looking at the sails that were gradually shortening the distance with the White Seagull, everyone began to realize that it seemed a little too early to celebrate the victory.

"Poseidon's blessing ......," said a sailor in a trembling voice, standing at the stern of the ship, "it turns out that the legend is true." ”

It is rumored that when the naval fleet of the Kadiren Empire surrounded it, it was about to surround it, but it was eventually slipped away by the cunning pirates. Admiral Sheng, who led the fleet to encircle and suppress Monkyrie, claimed that Monkyrie had been blessed by the god of the sea, and when the Imperial three-masted warships were about to crush those villains like an ant, the pirate ships seemed to have wings and slipped faster than a light sail.

Many people took these words as a justification for the admiral's failure. After all, there is no reason why the gentle and benevolent god of the sea would bless a heinous pirate. Captain Kerut, who stood at the helm at the stern, was equally unconvinced, but what was now presented to him told him that it was true.

Hearing the whispers of the sailors next to him, Jiang Feng touched his chin thoughtfully.

"Blessing of the god of the sea...... Is it? ”

"That's not the blessing of the sea god at all," Lea said with a solemn expression as she walked up to Jiang Feng's side, "It's just the trickery of Lucius, the god of treachery and conspiracy, who was released by the hands of mortals." ”

"No wonder, I just said how I smelled a familiar smell from those boats." Jiang Feng nodded suddenly.

Chaos sorcery is very similar to sorcery, both in terms of the frequency of the mental force field and in the temper of most spellcasters.

"The speed was increased to fourteen knots, and I wanted to get rid of them completely...... Does it take at least eighteen verses? Slowly closing his eyes, and after a while, Jiang Feng looked at the chimney at the stern of the ship that was spewing white mist, "It works in theory, but it can only last for an hour at most, which shouldn't be enough." ”

Due to the calorific value of the fuel, the turbine can only provide a maximum speed of fifteen knots, and this is ideal. But both the heat resistance of the combustion chamber shell and the compressive strength of the shaft are enough to withstand a greater output power, but not on the ship itself.

To put it bluntly, this is just a brig, and fifteen knots is already a theoretical limit.

Both the design of the keel and the construction of the hull are difficult to withstand such an extremely uneven distribution of forces. Sailing under overload for a long time can cause damage to the hull and rupture of the keel, with unimaginable consequences.

"The plan has changed, if we don't leave, we'll deal with them here," Boarding the stern, Jiang Feng walked up to Captain Kairut, "If I increase the speed of the White Seagull to eighteen knots, how sure are you that you will send those pirates to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish?" ”

"Eighteen? That's impossible! Are you trying to make us fly? Captain Kerut exclaimed.

"You just have to answer whether I can or can't." Jiang Feng asked calmly.

Seeing that Jiang Feng's expression was not joking, Captain Kairut gritted his teeth and replied.

"Yes...... But it won't be easy. ”

He had never sailed such a fast ship, nor had he fought a three-masted sail with sixteen ballistas on the side.

"Very good," Jiang Feng nodded, and then shouted loudly in the direction of the deck, "Yiran! ”

The plank was lifted, and a petite figure quickly rushed up from below deck.

Before he could get to his feet on the deck, the little face looked around nervously.

"What's the situation? The enemy rushed up? ”

"Not yet, hurry to the combustion chamber, I need you to make the fire bigger. Pay attention to the thermometer, just get close, and don't let the liquid level exceed the red line. ”

"What do you think of my abilities?"

Despite complaining, Ira chose to do so and ran back below deck.

Not long after Yi Ran left, behind the wooden plank that had not yet been closed, a small head hidden under the hood poked out from underneath. Looking around, those big curious eyes finally stopped at Jiang Feng.

Sticking out his tongue in anger, the little head retracted below the deck, and a small hand stretched out and pulled the plank along the way.

Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

So far, the little guy has been in no trouble.

With the release of Ira's ability, the temperature of the combustion chamber climbed to the limit, and under the impetus of steam, the piston shook up and down rapidly, and the White Seagull seemed to have wings, and its speed climbed to a terrifying 17.6 knots in an instant.

A salvo sank the approaching brigs and broke through the encirclement of the other two brigs. Captain Kairut slammed the rudder and maneuvered the White Seagull, which was almost flying above the water, and made a large arc, aiming the starboard side at another pirate ship that was loading ballistas.

However, at this moment, the three-masted galleon, which had been guarding the center of the fleet, suddenly increased its speed to the limit as if it was being pushed by something, and crashed straight towards the White Seagull.

Looking at the bow of the three-masted sail, Jiang Feng's pupils contracted slightly, and at the moment when the evil energy expanded, he suddenly had the illusion of being targeted by a poisonous snake.

"Fire!" Captain Kerut immediately gave the order and shouted loudly.

Four shells struck the bow of the three-masted sail, the wooden ramming corners were torn apart, and at least six or seven pirates fell overboard in the splash of sawdust.

However, the cannon salvo did not stop its charge, and the broken ramming angle was about to hit the tail of the White Seagull.

Suddenly, a slightly immature cry came from the direction of the middle of the deck.

"Stop it!"

Suddenly, the seaweeds that had been dormant beneath the surface of the sea grew wildly upward, weaving a large net in front of the Jackdaw. The shattered corners that were bombarded by the artillery were entangled in the crazy seaweed in an instant, and the dark green touches were one after another. Hands like vines, crawling down the bow towards the deck, actually stopped the Jackdaw.

"Hmph, I'll just say, Emily is very strong!"

Emily, with her small breasts and her hands on her hips, stood at the entrance of the deck and glanced at Jiang Feng proudly.

Looking at the sea in surprise, Jiang Feng admitted that he was indeed amazed by this scene.

Emily was known for her ability to communicate with plants, and even arranged for her to work on a plantation in the South Island for a while. It's just that he still didn't expect that this little guy's ability could still be used like this......

Looking at the Jackdaw, which was entangled in seaweed, Leia was slightly stunned at first, and then her face changed wildly, and she didn't care about hiding her identity in front of everyone, and immediately shouted loudly in half-elf language.

"Emily! Get back below deck! ”

"Huh? Why? Emily, with her eyes wide open and her hands on her waist in full spirit, looked at her sister in confusion.

The sea strangely calmed down.

Then, as if stirred by something, white foam rolled up.

Standing on the bow of the Jackdaw, a cruel smile gradually appeared on the face of the Jackdaw, which was originally full of gloom.

"Finally can't help it?"
