Act 274 Naval Dogfight (3)
Despite having the title of nobleman, Dimosen's talent in combat is really limited, and he has no strength in either fighting spirit or magic, and he will always be the one who is bullied in the family.
If it weren't for this, he would not have been assigned by the family to manage the sea trade, which is extremely risky and unable to climb up, although there is a lot of oil and water, but it can only be regarded as an errand for the elderly.
But now, Dimosen is excited to find that it is not that he is too weak, but that his former opponent is too strong!
The sword, attached to the fighting spirit, easily pierced the tattered leather armor, ruffled the pirate's internal organs, and gave Dimosen a rare hearty battle.
But then Dimerson's back of the head was hit.
"Don't patronize and kill! Go chop the rope hook, stupid! It's going to be too late! ”
Dimosen looked back and saw that it was Captain Deria who had just "sneaked" on him, and at this time he remembered that Captain Deria had indeed reminded him that he would cut off the rope hooks that trapped the "Cloud Pine" as soon as he had the opportunity.
The chopping hook was indeed correct, but why did it make the usually calm Captain Deria so nervous that even the voice of shouting was a little trembling?
Following Captain Deria's gaze to the stern of the ship, Dimerson was instantly frightened into a cold sweat, and the thrill of the battle he had just enjoyed was instantly wiped out.
Just behind the "Cloud Pine", a large pirate ship was rapidly approaching, and at the bow of the pirate ship was a hooked drawbridge, which looked like the beak of a crow from a distance.
In fact, the name of that device is "The Crow", and it is a weapon for broadside combat!
When the two ships get closer, the Raven is lowered, the sharp iron hook under the bridge plate will firmly hook the enemy ship, connecting the two ships together, and the wide drawbridge will become a passage for the pirates to attack!
The "Raven" is a weapon designed to capture enemy ships!
Interestingly, there was once a similar design on Earth, also known as the "Raven", which was used by the Romans, with their elite army and half-navy, to defeat the Carthaginians, the rulers of the Mediterranean.
Dimerson swallowed in horror, even though it was still far away, the mere fact that he could confirm that the other party had plate hoplites was enough to shock him!
You must know that although the plate armor heavy infantry relies on heavy armor to have a crushing advantage in hand-to-hand combat, but also because of that armor, once they fall into the sea, they will never survive!
So normally, no pirate would want to put on such a dead thing for themselves, and besides, according to the rules of the pirates, they must pay for the purchase of this armor themselves, so that those poor ghosts who believe in timely pleasure will pay for plate armor!? It's better to just kill them!
So these hoplites must be dead soldiers among pirates!
And with a team of pirates equipped with these dead soldiers, even Dimoson, who had little combat experience, would not think that it would be as easy to deal with as the weak chickens that he could easily harvest now.
"Chop the rope hook! Cut the rope hook! ”
Dimerson screamed in a mournful voice as he rushed to the side of the ship, cutting the rope hooks one by one.
The surrounding pirates pounced like crazy, quickly exhausting Dimerson.
"Leave those pirates alone! Cut off all the rope hooks! Fast! ”
Captain Deria shouted more and more anxiously, but they were still a step slower, and when they cut off all the rope hooks to get rid of the pirate ships trapped on both sides of the "Cloud Pine", the large pirate ship that was chasing after them had already been attached.
Dimosen could even see the pirates' hideous faces!
"Raven!"
"Raven!"
"Raven!"
……
In the wave of pirates' shouts, the "crow" slammed down, and the iron hook directly cut through the deck of the "Cloud Pine", firmly holding the two ships together!
Immediately afterwards, a tower-like giant man wielded the war hammer in his hand and rushed across the suspension bridge to the "Cloud Pine", and the three sailors who tried to step forward to stop were actually smashed into the sea by the giant man's round hammer!
Seeing this, Dimerson is already desperate!
"Ship...... Captain! Over there...... Two more ships over there! ”
Captain Deria looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, he noticed that two ships were moving quickly towards this side, but what could they do? It must have been two merchant ships that happened to be passing by, and when they saw the situation clearly, they would have turned around and left, hoping that they would have escaped.
"Warriors! Those filthy pirates won't give us a way out! We are the only ones who can save us! As long as we don't give up our faith, Divine grace will come! ”
Just when Captain Deria finished shouting, "Divine grace will come", the pirate ship that hooked the "Cloud Pine" with a "crow" actually inexplicably rose up a cloud of fire!
The explosion swept through the surrounding pirates, and the pirates who were about to board the ship for hand-to-hand combat were all stunned!
Just as the pirates were stunned, the explosion sounded again, and this time the place where the cloud of fire rose was the "crow" in the bow!
In the flames and explosions, the suspension bridge was blown to pieces, and the head of the giant man of the iron tower, who had just swallowed the mountains and rivers, was hit by a broken wooden plank, and he immediately lay on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
The successive explosions soon blew up the pirate ship, and as soon as the mainmast fell, the speed of the pirate ship dropped sharply, and it was not long before it broke away from contact with the "Yunsong".
It was only at this time that the sailors on the "Cloud Pine" reacted from the shock of escaping death, and raised their weapons one after another and shouted loudly, "Divine grace!" ”。
yes, can there be any other explanation for this miracle than divine grace!?
Captain Kedria clearly saw that the two ships that had just appeared were also on fire, and every time the fire on those two ships flashed, the pirate ship would definitely explode!
"Could it be those two ships that saved us!?"
Soon, Captain Deria proved his guess.
Two strange warships spewing gray-white smoke but no sails rushed into the battlefield at an astonishing speed, and every time the strange sticks stuck in those two ships spat fire, the pirate ship was bound to explode!
After watching the battle up close, now not only Captain Deria, but everyone, including the pirates, finally understood what was going on with the attack just now.
The pirates quickly gave up the siege of the "Cloud Pine" and instead set their sights on the two strange sailless ships, and all the ballista magic was smashed out in a frenzy!
However, the sailless battleship, which cleverly controlled the distance, always used its maneuverability to swim outside the range of the pirate ship, and the pirate's attacks flew away without exception!
