Kennan stood on a sailboat, silently watching the sea level in the distance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was a ship that regularly traveled between Negan and the mainland. In Negan, large fields have been destroyed or cannot be cultivated for various reasons, and Negan's food has always been beyond his means, so food is a very valuable commodity in this land.

It is for this reason that every year, people who are either greedy, powerful, or desperate come to trade with the Negans with large quantities of grain in exchange for gold, silver, diamonds, and all sorts of precious goods.

Some of them succeeded, and finally turned over, and some failed, and were swallowed up by people and ships, but the huge profits still attracted a large number of merchants to this land with unlimited business opportunities in the eyes of merchants.

Of course, in addition to merchants, wanderers, losers of family struggles, mercenaries, adventurers, fugitives, beggars, runaway slaves, and all sorts of careerists and conspirators with ulterior motives will all sail to Negan in hopes of making a mark in this land of endless opportunities and carving out their own business. However, most of them died silently, and only occasionally someone with good strength and luck gained a foothold here and ran a good force.

It was because of this situation that Kennan easily boarded a merchant ship full of grain and set out on his journey to Negan.

Just as Kennan was looking at the sea level in the distance, suddenly, from the back of the island in the distance, suddenly sailed out with a black sail, this sailboat with black sails was a bit like a Galen ship, but there were only three masts, the huge sail was blown up by the strong wind at sea, the huge bow was equipped with sharp ramming horns, the sharp ramming horns glittered in the sunlight, the statue of the goddess of the sea and the storm sat in the bow of the ship, it looked sacred and solemn, but the people on the ship who were wielding swords and shouting constantly did destroy this solemn feeling。

By this time, the ship's lookout had already seen the other party's sailboat, and he rang the ship's alarm bell to inform him of the encounter with pirates.

The ship's crew was quick to get into action - pirates were common in the seas, so they were accustomed to it, and after receiving the warning, they quickly opened the hatch where the weapons were stored, and then everyone received a sharp scimitar and prepared for the ensuing broadside battle.

In the era when there was no artillery, bows and arrows and broadside warfare were the mainstream of naval warfare, and bowstrings were not easy to maintain in this humid environment, so most people would choose broadside battles to decide the victory, and only the regular navy that occasionally went to sea would bring a group of archers on board.

The boatswain approached Kennan, who was standing at the bow, and said, "Sir, we have been attacked by pirates, and if you are ready to help us, we will be grateful and thankful, and if you do not wish to participate in this fight, please return to the cabin to avoid being accidentally injured in the ensuing battle." ”

Kenan smiled and patted the long sword on his waist, "If even the pirates are afraid, then I can go to Negan and return to the mainland directly." Now let me see how powerful the Negans really are. ”

The boatswain hurriedly thanked Kennan for his willingness to help, and although he did not know Kennan's strength, one more person in this situation would have a better chance of victory, and on this route, defeat would be death.

After thanking him, the boatswain went to mobilize the next passenger and handed out some surplus weapons to those who did not have the right weapons. Although there are not many of them - if you want to go to Negan, you must first have a weapon to defend yourself, but you will run into one or two at a time.

After the boatswain arranged the passengers, the other party's pirate ship had rushed straight over, seeing that the sharp angle of impact was about to break the side of the merchant ship, under the command of the captain, the merchant ship dropped the iron anchor in time, the huge iron anchor sank to the bottom of the sea and pulled the sailboat that was moving in place to drift, the keel of the ship creaked, and the whole ship turned 90 degrees to the right, directly passing by the pirate ship. Many of the crew members were unsteady on their feet and were thrown directly to the ground.

By the time they got up, the ship was already on board with the pirate ship, and many pirates roared and put their grappling hooks, gangplanks, and the like between the two ships, and then rushed over with their knives.

Kenan didn't rush to deal with the pirates right away, even though he didn't have a problem at all with his strength.

The members of these pirates are more complex, including humans, dwarves, gray dwarves, orcs, dark elves, minotaurs, werewolves, naga, and even a caveman.

This combination made Kenan a little puzzled, he really didn't understand how such a combination came together, what kind of existence could combine these different races, different faiths, and even feuds (dwarves and gray dwarves are feuds, and minotaurs feed on troglodytes). If possible, Kennan really wanted to meet with the other party's leader and discuss the issue of racial integration with him.

However, all this is premised on defeating the other side.

Group fighting is a thing, uniformity has the advantage of uniformity, and each has its own unique benefit. If a team is uniform, it is more suitable to form a battle formation, coordinate attack and defense, and fight in groups is relatively strong. The more famous ones are the Roman phalanx, the Spanish phalanx and so on. If you have a unique character, it is not easy to be targeted by the opponent for weaknesses, because your configuration is too messy, and the opponent does not know which one to run into, and if you have a pikeman against a caveman or a dwarf, the gray dwarf and the like have a chance of winning seven or eight times out of ten, and if you run into a minotaur or a dark elf, it is difficult to say.

In addition, a multi-racial team with a complementary profession is much more effective than a single configuration. For example, if you are slashing with a dark elf or orc with a knife, and suddenly a short man stealthily walks up to you and jumps up and hits you with a hammer on your knee, then you will basically be a city gate guard in the future, if you can survive.

At this time, the sailors and guards of the merchant ship encountered this trouble, although they were very experienced in fighting, and they were all veterans of battle, but most of their experience was against a single creature of the same kind, like this kind of mixed team, they also encountered it for the first time. Therefore, he suffered a big loss when he was caught off guard, and he was defeated and retreated.

Kenan observed in the corner for a while and knew that if he didn't make a move, he was afraid that this merchant ship would be completely sacked by this group of pirates, so in desperation, Kenan had no choice but to draw the long sword in his waist and join the battle group.
