Chapter 010: Nabal
A moment later, in the captain's room, Rog watched as Nabal stared at the compass from time to time to compare the current position of the ship on the map, and after a while he said: "We are now in the high seas of the agreement between Virginia and Nord, as long as we do not raise the flag, there will be no danger, I will send you to the port of Wocheze, and by the way, sell these trophies to replenish the supplies on board!"
"How long does it take to get to the car?"
"If the wind is not good, it will probably take a whole day!" As the two discussed the itinerary, a rocket landed on the deck from the sky, and Raguil immediately raised the alarm, and the whole ship went into a state of alert. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The two of them came to the deck from the captain's quarters, and looking at the arrows stuck in the deck on the ground, Raguil saw a multi-masted galleon from the telescope, and the flying fish flag could tell that it was the Exocet of Severer, and the distance between the two ships was about two hundred meters, and it was gradually shortening.
"What are we going to do?" said Lemuel, the first mate and helmsman.
"Regardless of him, how long can the wind last?"
"If the wind doesn't change, about fifteen minutes!"
After listening to Lemuel's analysis, Rogge couldn't believe it and asked, "Fifteen minutes, or in a tailwind, and the speed of the Exocet is above us?"
"Rogge, you don't know. The Tomahawk was a warship, and did have the means to reach speeds beyond the average sailing ship, but there was currently a shortage of sailors to use long oars to propel away from pursuers. ”
"Then there will be a naval battle, but the problem is that you can't take the shipside, otherwise there won't be enough people to die......" They said a few words, and then gathered all the sailors.
After receiving the battle order, the crew took out some crossbows and crossbows placed on the deck, and a few went down to the arsenal to get spare arrows, and Nabar also picked up the telescope and went down the stairs to the first mate, and asked: "Is there any terrain nearby that can be used? It is better to have a swirling air flow so that we can maneuver around the enemy ships!"
"Recently, several independent islands have been occupied, I guess not!" At the mention of these free islands occupied by landlocked countries, Lemuel became angry, and wanted to take ownership of these islands directly from the regular army.
"Forget it, I'll see if that old bastard of Severer is still alive!" he said, pulling out his binoculars and looking in the direction of the Exocet in the rear.
In the circular field of view of the monoculars, on the main deck of the Exocet, also a large three-masted schooner, from the bow to the end of the field of vision, about twenty sailors were busy in front of the front and back, and Severer was indeed alive, and put on an overcoat, standing majestically in front of the captain's room looking at the Tomahawk......
While he was focused on finding out what was going on, Lemuel called out to him and told him, "The Bay of Death is not far away, maybe we can take refuge there for a while!"
Nabal put away his binoculars, thought about it, and felt that it was feasible, and shouted to all the crew, "Death Bay! If we can't resist these guys, then go there and fight them for a long time!"
The crew had no objections, and Rogge asked, "Death Bay?
"The terrain is extremely treacherous, and because of the incredible cliffs in a place close to the open sea, the regular army ignores it, and the founder of the Pirate Guild, Hugh Gerald, a legendary pirate hundreds of years ago, used the caves on the island as a storage storehouse, and because of the large number of reefs, it was impossible to go without excellent ship skills, and countless ships going for treasure ran aground and sank, so it was called the Bay of Death. ”
"Really, I'd like to see it too, and now we should abandon our original plan, use the broadside battle to give them a head-on blow, and then take the opportunity to get out!"
"That's it, everyone is in place, don't be slow! Put away the bow sail, pull the swivel, and prepare to turn around! Gather the foremast! Turn the rudder to the left quickly!"
With Nabal's order, the Tomahawk immediately turned its head on the sea, and the Exocet was about a hundred meters in front, Nabal raised his saber and shouted: "The enemy is ahead! Now let them know the strength of our Tomahawk Regiment! Raise the flag!!"
With the shouts of the crew, the eagle flag on a blue background slowly rose on the mainmast and fluttered in the night light, and the experienced sailors also hoisted all the sails at the last moment, and the ship began to move at full speed, rushing towards the Exocet not far away......
Because of this act alone, the sailors of the Exocet felt a great crisis, and Severer climbed over the fence in front of the captain's room and fell to the deck, leaving the sailors in formation, and the longbows, arrows, axes, and javelins were immediately fully equipped. On the deck of the Tomahawk, the pirates were armed with heavy crossbows and longbows, spears and scimitars on their backs, and both sides put away their sails and waited for the moment to take overboard......
The lookouts of the two ships shouted at the same time, and the two parallel large sailing ships collided together in an instant, and then due to inertia, both were bounced away, and the first impact caused the sailors on the deck of the lighter Exocet to turn on their backs, and when the distance was pulled away again, the shooters on both sides immediately began to shoot, because the Tomahawk's side design pattern allowed the shooters to completely dodge the arrows and counterattack through the firing port, in a moment the Exocet was killed and wounded several people, while the Tomahawk was completely unharmed, in order to get out of the unfavorable situation, the sailors of the Severle threw rope hooks at the enemy shipHe ordered several ladders with nailed doors to be lifted from below deck, and in an instant several passages were erected between the two ships, ready to board the enemy ships to destroy the enemy.
"Shooters retreat to port side, axemen come with me!" When the first group of enemies boarded the Tomahawk along the aisle, Nabal immediately picked up the foot axe and rushed forward with the axemen led by Samuel, the shooters led by Lemuel quickly arrived at the firing position, and used a volley of crossbows to level the reinforcements on the narrow plank for Nabal, and the remaining enemies were quickly annihilated by the fighting efforts of Nabal and Samuel.
Nabal, who came out on top, immediately had his men destroy the plank bridge that was connected to the enemy ships, but Sewolle was also an experienced pirate, and he ordered rope hooks to be fired from the mainsail to the Goshawk deck, allowing more sailors to slide down the ropes to the Tomahawk deck to fight, while his longbowmen suppressed Lemuel's squad of archers with the maximum rain of arrows to the enemy ships, and sent a second boarding team to set up a ladder between the two ships, and himself drew his broadsword and rushed to the front line.
In the stalemate between the two armies, Rog climbed the escalator in front of the captain's room to the deck, and found that his sword was placed on a wine barrel not far away, and was suddenly surrounded by enemies swinging along the ropes.
Under the mainmast, Samuel wielded his two waist knives like a meat grinder, and took the opportunity to kick Rog's sword over, after receiving the sword, he and Nabal became more and more courageous, and also aroused the fighting spirit of the sailors, but many of them were already wounded, in order to reduce the casualties of the crew, Nabal decided to let the skilled sailors follow him to board the enemy ship and beat the enemy.
"Raguil, throw three ropes down, Lemuel, Samuel, follow me on the enemy ship and kill me!" As the enemy on the deck of the Tomahawk was cleared, Nabal and his men swung along the sail rope towards the enemy ship, landed on the deck of the Exocet, and began to kill with the weapons in his hand.
In the bloody battle, Lemuel continued to slash people with excellent one-handed swordsmanship, and from time to time he used his crossbow to shoot enemies at a long distance, Samuel used his whole body muscles to push the high speed, constantly wielding two waist knives to rampage through the enemy formation, the most incredible is Nabal, once he picks up the golden axe, it is like having magic power, whenever the axe blade causes impact, it can always spread out a lethal shock wave to kill the enemy.
"Wait, I'll have to go over and show my hands. Just as the enemy ship was disrupted by the trio, and the Tomahawk sailors were about to remove the pedals connecting the two ships, Rogge motioned to leave a piece, jumped on the Flying Fish on the plank, fought with his sword in the chaotic enemy formation, and quickly joined the three.
After seeing Rogge, Samuel stopped his sword dance, took a breath after kicking down the enemy in front of him, and yelled at him, "Noble boy, I didn't ask you to come and die, did you!?"
"Nobleman, that's true, but I'm not here to die. He emphasized, and with a wave of sword qi in his hand, he slashed the five or six pirates in a row into two pieces.
Seeing that the four of them had to face a heavy siege and an enemy several times their size, Severler also gave up the attack on the Tomahawk, and immediately ordered all the sailors to kill Nabal as the goal, and he himself took a double-edged battle axe similar to the one in Nabal's hand and came to the four.
Faced with such a good opportunity, Nabal could not miss it, he slashed at the deck with an axe, and at the same time sent a golden shock wave that broke through the entire deck and blasted at Sewolle, once he hit, it was difficult for Therwal to die.
Unexpectedly, Severler used the short golden battle axe in his hand to pick it up along the deck, and also blasted out a shockwave to meet it head-on, and the huge energy generated by the collision of the two waves immediately shook everyone around him. Seeing that the situation was not good, Rogge swung his sword and slashed the enemy in front of him, suggesting that Lemuel and Samuel would follow him and fight a bloody way to retreat.
"Hah, you think the Pirate Guild only has one shock axe from Dabaran? I have the other one that matches the one you have, but which of these two dwarven tech weapons is stronger?
Savol swung his battle axe with all his strength and slashed at the deck, and the impact of the axe's blade shattering the deck immediately converted into a lethal shockwave, and Nabal also used the power of the foot axe to defuse the blow and re-put himself in a position.
"Technology from Dabaran, these two battle axes are not easy!" Rog seemed to be very interested in the two axes, and he killed them again, arriving at Nabal's side.
"Yes, there was once a pirate leader in the guild who unearthed the ancient ruins of the continent of Dabaran, and these two battle axes are the harvest. Once the axe blade is hit by a strong impact, it can be filled with power, and this destructive power can be released by hitting the ground hard, I finally got it from the guild, I didn't expect that guy to get another one!"
Before he could finish explaining, Rogge said he understood, and the shovel reached forward and dragged Serwolle down, and Nabal took advantage of the opportunity, jumping high and slashing down with an axe. Seeing that he was about to be struck, Serwal rolled to the side to avoid the fatal blow, and hooked Nabal to the ground with a swing of his tomahawk, and just as he was about to execute Nabal, Raguil on the Tomahawk's lookout pulled his longbow far away, and fired an arrow through Sewolle's left shoulder, and the captain of the Exocet fell straight down.
