230 Shen Hengdou turn 10 (second change!) )
As for the merchant ship in front of them, the Karamans didn't pay attention to it even more, they almost robbed the emperor himself, not to mention a mere merchant ship!
It was because of such arrogance that the Karaman pirates did not chase Abu and the others with all their might, otherwise they would have caught up long ago, after all, even if the merchant ship was not fully loaded, it was designed to load cargo and not to chase the enemy. The pirate ship has a longer and narrower hull than a merchant ship, and it has more oarsmen and lighter, more advanced sails, which makes it not a problem to surpass merchant ships in speed, and it was born for this.
"Huh." As the pirate ship drew closer and closer to the merchant ship, the pirate leader smiled cruelly, staring at his prey with the eyes of a cat playing with rats, and he loved the screams of the dying and struggling, and for this reason he preferred to delay the chase a little longer rather than end the chase at once, in order to draw pleasure from the despair of the unfortunate.
There was not enough wind, and even if the sailors on the merchant ship paddled with all their might, it seemed as if it would not have time to escape into the mouth of the Teng River, and at this time......
"O gods! What the hell is that! The owner of the merchant ship shouted, what did he see? A boat...... Oh no, the gods know if it's a ship or not!
Abu, who thought he was well-informed, was also stunned, whether it was the ship of Neustria, the ship of St. Omier, the ship of the Emperor, the ship of Karaman and Lacad, he had seen it all, and the longship of the northerners, although he had not seen it, he had heard of it, but ...... Is this one in front of you a god-like thing?
It it ...... It has no oars or sails, and it can run fast at sea!
The supernatural impact made Abu feel dizzy and ringing in his ears, and he almost sat on the deck. This gaffe was not only due to the current shock, but also due to the fact that he remembered for a second the terrible speculation that Tournest was the Devil's Territory - this thing must have been the devil's invention!
Abu who once led the raids on Turnnest. At this moment, his whole body is cold, like a frog being targeted by a snake.
"Left full rudder!" Francis shouted from the bow of the ship. The helmsman at the stern immediately responded: "Left full rudder!" Indicating that he heard the captain's order, he immediately began to adjust the rudder, and when the adjustment was in place, he shouted again: "Left full rudder!" "Signal that the captain has adjusted in place.
"Settle!" The knight ordered again, "Towards the nearest target, rush to the emergency!" ”
"Settle!" The helmsman responded.
"Rush forward in case of emergency!" The bilge boatswain responded, "Emergency! ”
At first, the Grand Demon King was very unimpressed by the fact that the knight wanted to be her newly formed naval commander, "Go, go, go. You haven't fought a naval battle again! She remembered who had ordered her to be lifted all the way from the walls of the city wall and thrown into the convent during the siege of Turnest, and "don't make a mess!" I'm going to recruit from experienced captains and sailors! ”
"Idiot! They only have the experience of escaping, and I have no experience of escaping, only the experience of moving forward. The knight boasted to himself, and when he saw the features of the Demon King's new product, he felt that this thing really suited him no more. "It's as practical as it is at sea, and besides, my archery skills are the best here." It's perfect for naval battles, and I can swim! ”
"Archery? Swim? Can you swim in naval warfare? The Great Demon King fully exposed her idiocy for naval warfare, "What's the use of swimming in naval warfare?" Can you shoot an arrow while swimming? ”
"Even if you don't win. At least not to drown. ”
"Poof! Go, go, go! The Great Demon King shouted, "I won't give you my ship." No way! I'm going to recruit a few people who have experience in naval warfare, you. Just stay on land honestly, oh hehehe! ”
"Hmph," the knight was angry, "if you don't give me the command of the navy, then you have to change me to a better position!" The fire brigade is so ugly! I'm going to change! Otherwise, I won't be a conscription billboard for you! ”
"Oh, what's your name?"
"Changed to the Knights...... Knights Templar! ”
"Bang dang!"
After being caught off guard by the stun bomb thrown by the knight and falling into a fight, the big demon king with a blue nose and swollen face said kindly to the blonde angel with a smile: "Young man, I see that you are full of heaven, your bones are strange, and you have a great future in the advertising industry. Are you interested in our naval career in Neustria? Report your conditions again and I'll hear ......"
"I seem older than you......"
Through the past few years, the big demon king has finally tasted the taste of being a god, well, the god who had no choice but to "bring me the globe again" after hearing the request of "let the Chinese men's football team win the World Cup".
Naturally, the Knight's desire to change jobs and serve as a sparring partner for the Blues was extraordinary, and anyone with even the slightest knowledge of the ships of Neustria and other nations could see how different it was, first of all...... It does not have a traditional paddle.
The ship built by the Great Demon King is a ship.
Of course, it was not powered by steam, and several treadmills similar to those used to build churches were placed in the cabins and propagated by manpower, but even then, its speed was not comparable to that of a traditional human-powered oar-boat—the power of the arms was used for human paddling, and the power of the thighs was used for human pedaling.
As the saying goes, the arm can't twist the thigh, how can the strength of the arm compare to the thigh?
Moreover, when paddling by manpower, the oars spend half of the time in the air instead of paddling, but the paddles are continuously paddling, which makes its work efficiency not comparable to that of paddling. The Great Demon King also hugged the wheel hub outside the oar, the reason for this is to prevent the driftwood on the sea from damaging the oar, when the Song Dynasty officials and troops suppressed the rebel sailors, the method used was to set up more floating wood to jam the oar.
In the eyes of Abu and the others, this ship is just treading the waves without sails and oars, how can this not make them afraid?
Not only were they afraid, but even the ruthless and daring Karaman pirates were frightened by this monster one by one, and they really couldn't help but be frightened, because unlike merchant ships, this monster came straight at them!
"There's a demon law!" The pirate ship panicked and tried to turn around and escape, but if it wanted to escape, where could it be so easy!
"Rush forward in case of emergency!" "Rush forward in case of emergency!" As such an order reached the cabin, all the treadmills worked at top speed, driving the oars outside to paddle along!
"Bang!" With an earth-shattering loud bang, the entire pirate ship was hit by the waist, and several pirates were thrown high like arrows from the string, and then fell into the sea, but this was not the end, just see the monster without sails and oars retreat, and there was another loud bang!
Abu and the others watched in amazement as the pirate ship that had been arrogantly fighting at sea just now turned into a sea garbage dump in an instant, and the pirates who were bleeding all over their faces became one of the many floating objects in the sea garbage dump.
The monster staggered backwards, then swerved and slammed into the second pirate ship!
After a few loud bangs, there was one more marine garbage dump off the coast of Tournest.
The fate of the third pirate ship was not much better than that of its two companions.
Abu, who witnessed this qiē, felt that he had to have a cup...... A bag of wine is indispensable! (To be continued......)
