Chapter 128: The Battle of Treasure Island (2)
"Turn the bow of the ship and rush back!"
Annabelle suddenly ordered to the first mate, and everyone looked at her in amazement, what is the difference between turning around now and sending her to death?
Anna smiled bitterly in her heart, how could she not understand this truth, but the current situation is that even if they retreat with all their might, can they really retreat back?
"Isn't there anyone listening to me now?"
Anna took out a silk handkerchief from her bosom and carefully wiped the rapier, and when everyone saw this, they immediately returned to their positions, and Annabelle's ship turned its bow with the squeeze of wood.
Every time Anna made this move, the next moment was the moment when she killed someone, and between dying immediately and dying later, the pirates made a very quick decision.
"The witch ballista is in place, put down the dinghy, as long as it is close to eight hundred meters, attack immediately, Zack, you take people to the dinghy and stand by, cheer me up if you want to live!"
Anna yelled at her subordinates, but even she herself was bottomless, she had experienced battles and crises that were many times more tragic than this, but she had never experienced such a strange situation, the enemy was there, you couldn't see it but couldn't touch it, people could attack and bite her at will, but she couldn't even fight back.
"Tell them to join Jeremy's ship, and leave the wrecked ships behind! ”
I have to admit that Annabelle has a high level of insight and talent in battle, when she decided to fight to the death, she quickly adjusted her mentality, and made a careful battle plan, so short to stabilize her mind, and after she said this, the morale of the pirates is no longer so low, and after seeing the hope of survival, everyone's eyes rose with a fierce look of outlaws.
Lear looked at the three pirate ships that turned around and rushed over, his brows furrowed slightly, this woman is not simple.
I'm just afraid I'm going to disappoint you.
When Anna's ship came into range of Jeremy again, the pirate ship under Lear's feet began to turn around again, and there was no way to give the barrel enough time to cool down, so Jeremy and Lear had to develop this kind of rotational firing tactics after discussion, which created a huge problem, if the enemy was fast enough, they could easily seize the time difference, and once the broadside battle occurred, the artillery lost its greatest strategic significance.
That's what Anna came up with, so when she found that Jeremy's ship was starting to turn around, she immediately ordered the first mate to follow Jeremy's bow and turn with him, even if he stopped moving, he had to avoid the angle of fire from the enemy guns, and as long as one of the three ships could get around Jeremy, then they would win!
"Speed up, turn the hull, hurry!"
Jeremy shouted hysterically in the cabin, those sailors paused slightly, he rushed up to punch and kick, this was his first battle, how could there be imperfection because of such a small factor, he would never allow it!
But whether it's Annabelle or Jeremy, they all seem to have subconsciously ignored an existence that has the power to shape the direction of this battle.
Lear.
When Annabelle's ship came within a kilometer range of Jeremy, she did not attack immediately in order to avoid the lock of the artillery, and even let her ship enter a relatively stationary state in order to follow Jeremy's hull trajectory.
A dazzling magical light rose from Lear's hand.
A violently burning fireball burst into the air, and then slammed into Annabelle's ship at breakneck speed, followed by a two-meter-long icicle, followed by a huge fireball.
"No !!"
It was only then that Anna remembered that there was a high-ranking magician on the other side's ship, and she panicked and shouted to the first mate to swing the rudder to dodge, but it was too late.
In her desperate gaze, huge fireballs and icicles crashed into the hull of the ship she was standing on, and the impact of the strong spell fluctuations caused her body to shake violently and almost fall into the sea, and the already badly damaged hull began to crack directly in the middle of such a spell bombardment.
There was no scream, the first moment the magic light exploded, the flames and ice spikes devoured all the life it could cover, only the debris of the ship's hull that was directly hit by the spell kept flowing out bursts of blood, staining the ocean below.
Finished.
Looking at the huge black hole in the cabin that even exposed the keel, Annabelle knew that this time she had failed completely.
Although her greatest force of warriors and witches suffered nothing on deck, on the sea, sailors without ships were like birds without wings, and no amount of sharp claws and fangs could escape the fate of falling to death.
At this time, Jeremy finally adjusted the angle of the hull, and the black muzzle was once again aimed at Annabelle's ship.
"Let Jeremy stop shelling the enemy flagship and attack those two rescue ships. ”
Lear said to Haag beside him, but before he could finish his sentence, there was a violent vibration on the deck beneath his feet, and Jeremy began to fire a cannon salvo again.
Jeremy's eyes were filled with the thrill of revenge and mad hatred as he watched several cannonballs fly towards Annabelle again, a woman who had never looked down on him, and who had repeatedly humiliated him in front of his brother and other pirates, calling him a piece of shit.
Anna is going to die at her hands today, how can he not be excited?
Anna's ship was already half sunk, and the other two pirate ships were at least a thousand meters away from her, and it was obvious that they were hesitating to come to the rescue, and anyone who had seen Jeremy's cannon and Lear's magic would weigh whether it was worth it when making a decision.
There is no such thing as affection in the world of pirates, and when the benefits are far less than the risks to be taken, betrayal and abandonment are commonplace.
A spell scroll appeared in Annabelle's hand, and she was left to rely on herself, and although despair was like a dark cloud, she couldn't do anything to let her just sit still.
"Atmospheric Aegis!" "Hercules Aegis!"
One is an air-based defensive spell, and the other is an earth-based defensive spell, and it is not surprising for Lear that Annabelle, a fifth-level witch, has such strength.
But she was still too naïve.
When the cannonball broke through the first layer of the air shield, it slammed into the earth shield again, but something unexpected happened to Anna.
She had forgotten that she was good at earth magic, and that although the Hercules shield was floating in the air, the thick earth element had almost solidified into a shield wall.
When the first shell hit the earthen shield, the lead burned out, and after a loud "boom", it triggered a series of explosions that followed.
The blasting force generated by the high concentration of gunpowder instantly turned the iron ball into countless fragments, and the explosion occurred less than twenty meters in front of Anna!
The black pieces of iron rushed into the crowd on deck like life-harvesting scythes, and the pirates fell one after the other wailing, the sharp pieces of iron cutting their cheeks, their veins, and their bodies.
Everyone, including Annabelle herself, was seriously injured in an instant, they had never seen such a powerful weapon.
There were painful wails in the pool of blood, and they rolled and hugged the wounds, but they didn't know where to hold them because there were too many wounds.
Despair, real despair, Anna stared at the Jeremy in the distance covered in blood, she was unwilling, why could a waste of people achieve such an achievement, and the saddest thing was that she turned out to be the first test subject.
Her ship slowly sank, and an irresistible chill and darkness prompted Anna to close her eyes.
"Fire!"
Jeremy stared coldly at Anna's slowly sinking ship on the sea, it wasn't enough, he had to watch the woman be blown to pieces.
When the barrel was once again in position, he immediately gave the order to open fire.
"Stop!"
Haag's massive body appears in the bilge, and he brings Lear's orders.
"No! Why stop me! Let me kill that bitch! I'm going to kill her, and no one can stop me!"
The gunners are torn between what to do, and there is no doubt that Jeremy is theoretically their commander, but Lear is the boss.
"Get out of here!"
Seeing that the gunners had stopped what they were doing, Jeremy jumped out of the gun bay and kicked one of the gunners away, snatching the torch from his hand.
It seems that his hatred for Annabelle is really not the slightest bit.
"You dare!"
Haag was completely furious, he had never seen anyone who dared to openly disobey Lear's orders, especially as a newcomer.
Although he was also deeply shocked by the power of the cannon just now, this is definitely not an excuse for Jeremy to do whatever he wants!
Jeremy ignored Haag and slammed the torch into the lead of the barrel base.
"Whew..."
The ten-centimeter lead burned rapidly, and Hag was still more than thirty meters away from Jeremy, and it seemed that Anna's broken bones were inevitable.
And just as the lead was about to burn to the end, a white light suddenly flashed from above, and then a little frost fell, and the spark went out.
"Who?!"
Jeremy roared like a mania, and he raised his eyes to look for someone in the bilge who had ruined his good deeds, but suddenly felt his neck tighten, and the whole person was lifted.
"It's against you!"
Haag flicked his arm hard, and Jeremy's body slammed into a pile of wooden crates like a cannonball.
"Bang!"
Dust was splattering.
"My words don't work anymore, do they?"
Jeremy crawled from the debris with his face covered in blood, only to hear a cold voice coming from the hatch.
Lear.
