Involve me in battle?

Harvey squinted at the waist-tall green-skinned goblin captain in front of him, suspicious of some communication error due to their language barrier. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Obviously, we're in the same boat. If our boat is finished, we sailors will hopefully swim to shore, you know, it's not very far from the coast, but you landlubber is definitely dead, you know? The goblin shouted sharply, and though urgent, the words were coherent.

Harvey was still unhurried, "They are still far away, why did you judge us so early that we would definitely sink?" ”

Judging from the number of artillery pieces, the frequency of fire, and the rate of hits, Harvey estimated that even if it took another two or three hours, the ship would not necessarily sink.

"Hmph, you're a complete amateur in naval warfare." The goblin turned and pointed at the enemy ship in the stern direction, "They're faster than us, you should see that, right?" Fast speed takes the initiative. ”

Do I look so much like an idiot? Seeing that the goblins were going to give themselves a tactical literacy, although Harvey was bored watching the battle, he didn't have the leisure to listen to the class, "Of course, I can also see that they have a longer range than us, and their accuracy is quite good." ”

I have to admit that although those bulky guns have no highlights in terms of range, they are excellent even in the Imperial army in terms of accuracy. Harvey can also shoot wherever and wherever the mortar can be operated at a distance of three kilometers, but that is when both sides are on fixed ground, and now that both sides are on undulating waves, I am afraid that laser cannons will have to be used to accurately hit.

"But is your cannon an ornament? I remember you seemed to boast about your goblins, what are you the best in the world? Harvey asked the question that he had been holding back for a long time. He could also see clearly the artillery on the other side's ship, and it was not as thick as it was here.

The goblin's green face couldn't help but blush a little, "The gunpowder made by our engineering is naturally fine, but the processing of artillery is still stronger than the dwarves." So they can unscrupulously force charges, and naturally they will hit far. ”

Strong charge, a rather obscure term, but not entirely unfamiliar. The Empire's live-ammunition weapons were all fixed ammunition, and it was impossible for soldiers to change the charge without authorization. However, some people will still secretly disassemble the bullet, increase the charge and increase the warhead to achieve greater power and higher accuracy, this behavior can easily anger the mechanical spirit, and in severe cases, it will damage the firearm, which is strictly forbidden. In reality, however, it is impossible for the mechanical priests to accurately inspect every bullet, and the ban is completely flawed, and even Harvey himself often carries three or five rounds of modified bullets with him whenever he is equipped with a blaster pistol.

"You have so many people and so many cannons that you can't do anything, are you sure I can solve the problem?" Harvey asked himself if he hadn't had time to show any strength since he landed, and it was impossible for this goblin to see through his own skills, right?

"Because you've never shown any fear, it's clear that you're a guy who's been through a lot of storms, and this situation is killing you right now." The goblin shouted sharply, "Whatever you can do, hurry up!" When they talk a little closer, their hit rate will get higher and higher, and everyone is equal under the shell, you know? ”

As if to add to the persuasion of the goblin's words, two more cannonballs flew by, one of which with a sharp whistle swept over the stern and fell into the sea, driving the air flow that almost lifted Harvey's big cap, and the goblin was so frightened that he let go of the steering wheel and lay on the deck. The other flew higher and tore a corner of the sail.

Seeing that the ship had approached a distance of two kilometers, it no longer maintained a posture of pursuit, but slightly reversed course and reduced its speed, seemingly trying to maintain this distance. It is clear that at this distance they are already very confident in their artillery skills.

Harvey couldn't help but pull out his pistol and aim at the ship with both hands in his hands. At this distance, a ship looks so big that it is not difficult to aim, and even if both himself and the other party are undulating on the waves, Harvey is confident that he can make a gun hit. Although this is far beyond the range that laser pistols are accustomed to, and the scattering and diffuse reflection of dust in the air can greatly attenuate the energy carried by the laser, it is still a breeze to fire at maximum power and ignite the sails of the opposing side.

At this time, Harvey was a little nostalgic for his explosive pistol. The accuracy of the blaster pistol is even worse, and it is good to hit half of it at such a distance, but the blaster will not lose power because of such a small distance, and it can easily punch a few large holes in the opponent's wooden hull.

Without pulling the trigger, Harvey put his pistol back in its holster, looking down at the goblin, trying to imitate the tone of the merchant he usually hated, "As you might have guessed, this situation is far from fatal to me at the moment. So, what price are you willing to pay in exchange for my power? ”

"You're a mercenary? At this time, you still dare to bargain? If you hadn't smashed it, I would have spent a lot of money to set up the stealth circle...... Okay, make a price, I'll see what you're worth! The goblin shouted angrily.

"Quite simply, the ship is mine, and then I will naturally work hard to protect my things. You said you had the ability to swim to shore, didn't you? I also said that if you run away like this, I can spare your life. Harvey said.

The goblin couldn't help but reach out and hold the pistol, considering that he hadn't bothered to reload the gun just now, he moved his hand to the hilt of the sword again, and said in a deep voice: "This joke is not funny at all, big man, you should be realistic." ”

"If you don't leave, I'll let you know if it's a joke." Harvey didn't bother to bow his head at all, he looked at the other ship, already thinking about how to force the other side to cease fire.
