In the first rays of morning light, Bai Qi's ship slowly sailed out of the river valley.

At the foot of the gently gentle mountain on the eastern side of the limestone mountain, there is a bay of tens of square kilometers, and on the shore of the calm bay, there is a brand new port.

The sudden appearance of a human fleet alarmed the orcs and trolls on both sides of the strait who had just woken up from their sleep, and the sound of a loud horn sounded.

The orcs on the north bank rushed out of their tents and shacks, roaring and rushing towards the riverbank, but the orcs were a race with no navy at all, and they could only chase the fleet along the riverbank, roaring angrily, and attacking the fleet on the distant river in vain with stones and javelins.

The trolls on the south shore were more orderly, first a group of trolls rushed out of the forest, and then, the harbor in the bay suddenly became lively, and countless tall, thin, dark-blue skin trolls rushed to the dock from the triangular shacks made of wood around the harbor, and methodically jumped into the warships moored on the dock.

The troll warship is much more rudimentary and primitive than the human warship, that kind of boat is a bit similar to the dragon boat that Bai Qi has seen on TV, only it is longer and a little wider, the bottom is very wide, the draft is very shallow, the bows on both sides are high, and each search boat can accommodate twenty or thirty oarsmen.

When these rudimentary longships moved, Bai Qi was surprised to find that the speed of these ships was very fast, even faster than the lightest reconnaissance clippers of humans.

Because of its simple structure, this type of boat is light, has a shallow draft, is more adaptable and more flexible. In addition, the strength of the trolls is far greater than that of humans, so the speed of this kind of ship is almost half that of a human warship.

When he actually saw the troll's warship, Bai Qi suddenly felt as if he was underestimating the other party. The opposing warship is not useless compared to humans.

However, Bai Qi did not panic, he carefully observed the opponent's warship. Look for the shortcomings of this type of warship.

The disadvantage of the troll warship is actually obvious, and that is the high disadvantage. The gangs on both sides of this simple warship are only a little more than a meter above the water, and the bottom of the ship is basically the same as the water surface, which means that the trolls standing in this kind of warship are actually equivalent to standing on the water in terms of height.

And the height of the human warship is much higher, the thirty-three meters long and nearly five meters wide battleship under Bai Qi's feet, the deck alone is more than three meters above the surface of the water, and the human warrior stands on the ship, facing the troll warship. It has a condescending advantage.

Even a relatively small reconnaissance clipper has a deck height of almost two meters, which is definitely a great advantage in water warfare.

The second is weight, even the lightest scout clipper of human warships is several times heavier than the simple wooden boats of the trolls.

Soon Bai Qi saw the second disadvantage of the troll warship, and seeing this disadvantage, Bai Qi leaked a confident smile on his face and ordered all the warships to speed up and flee downstream.

Stand beside Bai Qi. Duncan, who was nervously looking at the dozens of troll warships swarming out of the riverbend port, was very puzzled by Bai Qi's order, and couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency, the speed of the troll warship is much faster than ours. We can't escape. ”

Bai Qi smiled slightly and said, "Who said we were going to escape?" Sue sù other ships and hold down the speed. Use only 70 percent of the speed and try to keep the oarsman's body lì...... And let the other ships follow me closely. ”

Wait until the herald standing on a high place passes his orders out with the flag. Bai Qi also ordered the second mate to change course and approach the other side of the river at a forty-five degree angle.

Duncan looked at the slowly approaching troll warship behind him, puzzled. Look at the orcs who are chasing the fleet along the river bank on the other side, roaring angrily, and don't understand Bai Qi's intentions.

The Chosen Warriors standing behind Bai Qi, including Adrian, were a little unaware of Bai Qi's intentions.

However, Barian observed the troll warship chasing behind him for a while, and seemed to understand Bai Qi's intentions, and he explained to Adrian beside him: "You look at those troll warships, almost all of their warriors are rowing, and less than a third of the warriors are resting in the middle of the boat, that is to say, their warriors are oarsmen, and oarsmen are warriors, and the leader is not trying to escape, he is going to consume the body of the opponent's warriors, we have oars slave rowing, and the warrior's body can always be full." ”

After listening to Barrian's explanation, everyone understood Bai Qi's intentions.

Bai Qi's fleet itself was advancing along the middle of the Suluo River, at least twenty miles away from the shore, even if the trolls were a race known for their endurance, it would take most of their body to row a distance of dozens of miles, and Bai Qi ordered the fleet to approach the north bank at a thirty-degree angle, just to delay the time for the troll warships to catch up with them.

The speed of the troll warship itself was twice as fast as that of the human warship, and Bai Qi ordered everyone to keep the speed of the ship at seventy percent, and the distance between the two sides was rapidly approaching.

The two sides chased after each other, and after advancing nearly a hundred miles on the Suluo River, the troll warship finally caught up.

When the distance between the two sides was less than ten miles, Bai Qi suddenly ordered the fleet to turn around and advance upstream at full speed.

The fleet brushed shoulders with the troll ships less than a mile from the north shore and seized the upstream, before the fleet turned around again and rushed towards the troll fleet.

A few minutes later, the four Divine Grace Armors lined up in a row slammed into the troll fleet like tigers descending from the mountain.

At this time, the third advantage of human warships is once again reflected, that is, sturdy, even ordinary thief ships are several times stronger than simple warships like trolls.

More than thirty meters long, five meters wide, and more than three meters high, the Divine Grace warship rushed into the troll's fleet, like a bison rushing into a flock of sheep, and the waves set off by the bow alone had already knocked the opponent's boat to the ground.

With a loud bang, the troll warship that was hit head-on shattered and was crushed to the bottom of the ship, and the trolls on board fell into the water one after another.

The four Divine Grace ships moved forward at full speed without slowing down, and the sailors on board fired freely with their heavy crossbows.

The four Divine Grace ships were like four plowshares, plowing four blank areas in the troll warship group.

Eight Scout Clippers followed closely behind the four Grace Ships.

Although the Recon Clipper cannot cope with the head-on confrontation with other types of human warships, it still has a great advantage against small ships such as the Troll Battleship. Then the momentum of the Divine Grace Battleship took advantage of the opportunity for the Troll Battleship to be messed up by the Divine Grace Battleship in front. They crashed in, and the sailors stood on the side of the ship. Raising a heavy crossbow and shooting the troll warrior at his feet.

In the process, quite a few troll warriors took the opportunity to jump onto the human warship.

Trolls are much taller humanoids than humans, reaching two meters three in height and more than two meters four in height, but they don't look as tall as they actually are, due to their penchant for bending over their bodies.

They have dark blue skin, human-like faces, four fangs sticking out of their mouths, and a long nose most notably.

Unlike the strong orcs. Trolls are generally thinner, which makes them astonishingly agile and agile, and they also have long arms that are far larger than humans, which makes them very adept at using weapons such as throwing spears or bows and arrows.

Trolls also have terrifying regenerative abilities, it is said that even if their hands and feet are cut off, they can grow again, and many injuries that are fatal to humans are minor injuries to trolls, such as piercing the internal organs. Without timely treatment, humans will die quickly, but for trolls, as long as the heart is not gouged out. Even if the ribcage is pierced, they can continue to fight without care, and they don't need any treatment. It only takes a few days for them to recover on their own.

Even decapitation, as long as the head can be placed correctly on the neck immediately. They all have the potential to recover.

The only way to kill the trolls is to completely cut off their heads. Or cut off their chest and abdomen completely, and separate their bodies.

Even the strong and agile Troll Warrior is not every human warship that can jump two or three meters high on a bumpy boat, and those who can do it are the best of the troll warriors, or simply the chosen warrior of the troll warriors.

The Trolls have a different name from humans for those warriors who have developed the power of qi and blood, called "Voodoo Warriors", and those who have mastered the ability to cast spells are called witch doctors.

Generally speaking, in the troll group, the caster, that is, the witch doctor, has a higher status than the voodoo warrior and is the actual master of the tribe, so there will be no witch doctor charging at the front line.

The trolls have a similar chance of producing voodoo warriors as humans, so there are only a small number of voodoo warriors in the dozens of ships that this group pursues, only about seven or eight.

A powerful voodoo warrior who can easily jump onto a human warship more than three meters high, even on a bumpy warship.

Seven or eight voodoo warriors all jumped onto the four Divine Grace warships that rushed to the front.

Voodoo warriors are undoubtedly powerful, due to the stimulation of the power of qi and blood, their bodies are taller and burly than their own kind, and their height is generally above two and a half meters, even if they are surrounded by their bodies, they look like they are two meters and three meters tall, and their burly bodies make them naturally have much stronger strength than human beings, and a strong body naturally gives birth to a stronger power of qi and blood.

Voodoo warriors wore a heavy, sturdy leather armor with significant mana fluctuations, and was no less sturdy than the high-level charismatic equipment of humans, holding a shield made of animal bone in one hand and a long-handled weapon called a voodoo spear in the other.

Although the beast bone shield in the hands of the voodoo warrior did not have any spell inscriptions, it exuded natural spell fluctuations, and it was extremely strong, and the high-level divine grace weapons in the hands of the human chosen warrior could not cause any damage to this shield.

The voodoo spear in the hands of the voodoo warriors is accurate and ruthless, and it carries a terrifying toxin that can pierce even high-level divine grace armor.

However, although the voodoo warriors were powerful, their number was too small after all, seven or eight warriors, scattered on the four divine grace warships, under the siege of several times the human divine grace warriors, only held out for a moment, and then had to break through and jump ship.

Except for a voodoo warrior who pounced on the bow of Bai Qi's ship, who was very unlucky and lost his mind for a moment by a hypnotic technique by Barrian, and was captured by Bai Qi by cutting off his limbs, none of the other warships were captured.

The voodoo warriors who attacked the human warship saw that there were many masters of the enemy, and the ships were sharp, and they all had the idea of retreating.

The four Divine Grace ships plowed through the troll fleet in one fell swoop.

It is not a simple matter for a battleship tens of meters long to turn around, not to mention a fleet of twelve warships.

The fleet first rushed a few hundred meters downstream, and then slowly drew a large arc on the surface of the river, and after a few miles of detour, it turned the ship's bow.

During the time the fleet turned around, the remaining troll warships hurriedly picked up the wounded, turned their bows and fled towards the harbor of the river.

The White Qi fleet charged this time, crashing and capsizing almost a third of the troll warships, but the casualties caused by the troll warriors were negligible, and the innate regeneration ability of this race was too terrifying. If the opponent was a human, this assault just now, coupled with the indiscriminate shooting of crossbows, would have at least more than half of the casualties.

Some of the terrible injuries of the viscera were absolutely fatal if they appeared on humans, but the trolls moved freely and didn't care.

In the melee just now, many powerful troll warriors jumped onto the human warship, and although they were quickly driven down, they also caused many casualties or overboard of ordinary sailors.

When the trolls rescued their companions, they also killed the Terran sailors who had fallen into the water.

Bai Qi took a closer look at the more than 20 corpses floating on the river, and most of them were sailors under his command, which made Bai Qi more clearly aware of the horror of this race.

The remaining troll warships quickly departed with their wounded companions, and although the boating troll warriors were very expensive, they were still much faster than the human warships.

Bai Qi saw that he couldn't catch up, and then looked at the trolls and orcs who were tracking along the river bank on both sides, and knew that even if he caught up, he would not be pleased, so he could only give up and order the fleet to turn around and sail downstream. (To be continued......)
