The deck is like boiling water.

At the moment when Captain Kerut's order to "prepare for battle" was given, the nerves of all sailors were tensed to the extreme. Eight cannons were pushed onto the deck, and although there were wooden sheds for each of the four gun emplacements to keep out the rain, and the paper used to pack the gunpowder was also oiled paper that was not easy to get wet, but the rainy weather still had a great impact on the firearms.

Fortunately, it was only a light rain now.

"What happened?"

Dressed in heavy armor, Connie stepped onto the deck with two retinues. The rocking deck made his center of gravity a little unstable, but he was worthy of a high-ranking knight who was only a line away from the master, at least he didn't fall because of the bumps of the waves.

"Pirate ship." Jiang Feng looked at the sea in the distance, "We may be in trouble." ”

"I'll make them understand that they're messing with the wrong people." Drawing his sword from his waist, Connie stared at the fleet in the distance, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"They have the advantage in numbers, it's not a good idea to engage them in a broadside battle," after a pause, Jiang Feng glanced at Connie who was holding one hand against the wall, and continued, "I suggest you change into lighter equipment, this iron can is meaningless at sea except for hurting your own people." ”

As he was talking, Leia, who was wearing a cloak, walked out of the cabin with a longbow and quiver on her back and walked towards Jiang Feng.

"I smell something nasty, something bad is approaching us."

"You mean Chaos?" Jiang Feng glanced at the direction of the horizon, "Just those pirate ships?" ”

Leia nodded solemnly.

"That breath...... It should be a servant of Lucius, the god of treachery and conspiracy, yes, Lord Noyce's prophecy is right, the winds of evil will stop us, and this journey will not be easy......"

“…… Why didn't you tell me sooner. ”

Jiang Feng only wanted to know what the elk had said now.

In the middle of the exchange between the two, six brigs and three sloops split into three directions and killed the White Seagull, almost blocking all the dodging directions that everyone could choose. Even if you turn around and run away now, it's too late.

It is clear that these pirates have been in ambush in this area for a long time.

Even they had anticipated the presence of wizards on the ship, and they had specially chosen to attack in the shadowy waters where the Kraken was entrenched. Once the sorcerer on the ship uses sorcery, he will awaken the kraken lurking beneath the surface of the sea, and the entire sea will become Jiang Feng's enemy.

The chimney emits more white mist, and the boiler runs to its limit.

Captain Kerut swung his rudder to the left, sideways the ships that were going straight to this side, and aimed his starboard side at the two clippers that were speeding towards the White Seagull. The first mate, crouched on the side of the ship, held a slender scimitar in his hand, and swung it down the moment the gun was aimed at the nearest clipper.

"Fire!"

"Boom ——!"

In response to that rough roar, there were four deafening cannon shots.

The four guns on the starboard side opened fire in unison, and the sloop clipper, which was closest to the White Seagull, was instantly swept across the deck by four black shells. Flesh and blood flew across the deck, broken in a cloud of sawdust flying and screaming

Never before had they seen such a terrifying weapon, and the pirates with their hooks and daggers trembled.

The pirates, who saw that the flame-spewing iron pipe was aimed at them, and thought it was a witchcraft performed by a wizard, jumped into the sea in horror before the sailors on board could reload. In the face of fear of witchcraft, they even forget where they are.

It's a shadowy sea.

No one has ever been able to swim out of the water alive......

"Haha, well played!" Captain Kerut laughed, tore his voice open, and shouted at the sailors on deck, "Reload!" Fast! ”

Four shots were successful, one of which was lucky enough to break the mast. Although there was really nothing to brag about at such a close distance, it was quite a good result for these sailors who had only recently learned to use the new weapons.

Jiang Feng, who was standing on the deck, noticed that the other sloop that was already approaching the White Seagull turned around in fright after seeing the tragic condition of his companion. It was like the natives who had encountered firearms for the first time, and the four cannon shots were not cannon shots to them, but a furious blow from Thor.

The half-elf standing next to him remained motionless, the onion fingers holding the bowstring frozen.

Jiang Feng noticed that the delicate pretty face under the hood, the sad face that was originally condensed between the eyebrows, had been replaced by an incomprehensible consternation. Unlike Emily, who had already seen the power of artillery, it was the first time she had seen a weapon of such terrifying power.

"What's that......"

"As you can see, the weapons of civilized people," Jiang Feng said in a relaxed tone, "although it may be more bloody. ”

Attracted by the sound of cannons, Ela and Emily walked over from the cabin one after the other.

Running to Jiang Feng's side, Yi Ran quickly glanced at the dhow speedsail not far away, and then at the approaching fleet in the distance, and asked nervously, "What's the situation?" How did I hear the gunshots? ”

Jiang Feng didn't answer her question immediately, but said the opposite.

"Where can your ability go?"

Yi Ran was stunned for a moment, and replied.

"It's about fifty or sixty meters, what's wrong?"

"Then I'll give you a task." Jiang Feng said.

"Say." Yi Ran nodded nervously.

"Go below deck and stay until I call you to come up again," Jiang Feng said, "Also, take care of Emily for me, and don't let her run around." ”

"What! Why should you let me stay below deck, Emily is also very powerful! Emily exclaimed unhappily.

"Obedient." Jiang Feng looked at Emily and said seriously, "If you don't stay below the deck honestly and wait for tomorrow to dock on the Aditya continent, I will ask Captain Kairut to send you back to Port Sevit." ”

"Hmm-"

Stared at by the inexplicable gaze, Emily pursed her lips in defiance, her eyes reluctantly looking to the side. But in the end, the stubborn eyes gradually softened under Jiang Feng's indifferent gaze.

"Got it...... Emily would be honest and stay below deck. ”

Hanging her little head in compromise, Emily whispered a word and walked sullenly in the direction of the stairs.

Leia looked at her sister's back in surprise.

In her memory, her sister had never been so obedient.

Looking at the backs of Yi Ran and Emily walking towards the stairs, Jiang Feng turned to look at Leia who was standing next to him.

"What about you? The ballistas on the opposite side won't be long-eyed for a while. ”

Leia didn't speak, just gave Jiang Feng a "take care of yourself" look, and turned around and walked in the direction of the stern.

With a limit distance of fifty or sixty meters, even if Yi Ran's ability can hit that far, most of them will be the end of a strong crossbow, not to mention that it is a rainy day and there is still so much gunpowder on the deck. In this case, Eran's ability is more dangerous to her own people than to the enemy, so it is better for her to look at the feisty Emily and reduce the uncertainty of this naval battle.

Seeing that the fast sail was deserted, the sailors on the deck were greatly boosted, and the sailors who were crouching next to the starboard gun emplacement had completed reloading, while the lads on the port side were also gearing up, waiting for their chance to play.

As for the opposite, morale has hit rock bottom......
