Chapter 18: William, Eva
Eva rushed out of the room, first locking the door with the key she had just touched from Zoya. Then she surveyed the surroundings, and now she stood in a narrow hallway, lined with the servants' rooms, but every door was tightly sealed. At the end of the hallway there is a staircase and a closed hatch.
The hatch was where it led to the upper deck, and Eva didn't know what was going on outside, so she didn't dare to open it, so she had to look around for tools she could use, but she only picked up two or three pieces of tattered wood.
Eva managed to use a few broken logs to get the hatch locked inside, and with a long sigh of relief, she fell to the ground and cried quietly.
Standing on the deck, William shouted, "Steady, soldiers, send those pirates out into the sea, don't panic." ”
I saw that the two ships collided together, and the giant ship broke the waist of the nearest pirate ship, but he was also stuck by the other party for a while and couldn't break free. Behind him, another pirate ship was rushing towards him. As for the three ships in the distance, I don't know if it's because of the lack of stones, or if the rat thrower is slowly accelerating, and it is also a desperate posture to come over.
The deck of the giant ship was a chaotic scene, and the pirates scrambled to jump up from the sinking pirate ship, and the soldiers, led by the knights, slew the enemy who boarded the ship. The shouts and moans of both sides were intertwined. From time to time, one or two soldiers or pirates would fall from the ship, struggle desperately in the cold waters, and shout loudly until they had no more strength, and finally turned into corpses and floated on the surface of the water, and slowly sank again.
William calmly commanded his soldiers, and slowly the pirates fell to the back of their outnumbered and outdated equipment.
"Go and a group of soldiers to protect your marquis. William said to a knight beside him who seemed to be of a very noble position.
The knight nodded and said, "I've already gone, I'm worried about the battle later, and now it's just a warm-up." ”
William's face was also grim after hearing this, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at it, and said, "We need to leave two teams of soldiers out, reserve our strength, and check if there is anything missing by the way." It is estimated that the broadside battle will not be as easy to fight as it is now. ”
The knight nodded approvingly, and then turned to arrange.
William looked at the battle in front of him and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "I thought I would never go to the battlefield again in this life, who knew that I would have to fight again so soon, probably this is fate." It's just that if you are ten years younger, this is all trivial, and I don't know if so many years of comfortable life will have any bad effects. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at his stomach and smiled bitterly.
The battle on the deck came to an end, and the soldiers slowly cleaned up the battlefield, and the stumps and broken arms everywhere and the dark red blood that seemed to seep into the wood showed the horror of the moment. The corpses of pirates were thrown into the sea. Some of the soldiers who survived cried loudly, some sat silently on the ground wiping their weapons, and some could only moan.
The knights roamed around, and from time to time the wounded were carried into the rear cabins, and the entire deck was quickly emptied.
William cheered himself up and lifted his spirits, knowing that the battle of the night was still to come.
Eva breathed a sigh of relief as she stumbled to her knees and wiped her face. He folded his hands and whispered a prayer.
Eva slowly stood up, trying to climb the stairs to open the hatch to see what was going on outside, but before she could climb a few floors, she felt the hull of the ship shake violently, and a louder vibration came than before, and Eva accidentally rolled down the stairs.
She groaned in pain, covered her side with her hand, and stood up tremblingly. When the vibration slowly subsided, as if he suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly climbed the stairs and lay behind the hatch to listen to something.
William had just finished his patrol to the side, and before he could say anything, he heard the lookout's voice shout hoarsely, "Starboard, get out of the way." There was desperation in his voice.
William hurriedly turned his head and saw that the pirate ship that was originally behind him had already aimed its bow at the middle waist of his huge ship, and before he could make a sound, he felt the hull of the ship vibrate violently, and a loud noise came, and no movement could be heard in his ears except for the buzzing sound.
Fortunately, the Marquis did not boast, the ship was so strong that perhaps the pirates did not expect to break it lazily. The other pirates were stunned except for a few who jumped over and died, thus giving the stray soldiers who had been hit time to regroup.
When the pirates saw the soldiers waiting for them, they rushed over with wooden planks as if they had just woken up from a dream.
William rushed to the gap first, and single-handedly slowed down the pirates' offensive.
I saw William slashing his long sword, stabbing one pirate after another, and from time to time he had to parry a few sneak attacks from behind. More and more pirates died under his sword, and the morale of the soldiers became higher and higher, and it looked like they were going to kill all the pirates, and for a while the pirates were afraid to step forward.
A one-eyed man who looked burly snorted very dissatisfied, and secretly jumped up and jumped on the deck of the giant ship, picked up the giant axe he was carrying behind and smashed the surrounding soldiers into meat pies in three or two strokes.
The big man did not pursue, but waited for many pirates to pour in from the gap, and swept the giant axe in his hand and killed William directly. The other pirates made a beeline for the lavish building, and the deck was a living hell.
William saw the big man wielding a giant axe and rushing over, hurriedly forced back several pirates around him, and turned to parry. I felt an earth-shattering force coming, and my legs involuntarily bent over, and I almost took off the long sword.
William's right hand cracked faintly, and blood burst out. Quickly rolled on the spot, and after dissolving this force, he didn't dare to fight, turned around and ran towards the place where the marquiss was.
The big man let out a roar of rage, and with one hand, he lifted one of the soldiers around him out of the deck and fell into the sea, ignoring the people around him and following closely behind William.
Eva carefully held her breath and eavesdropped on the sounds outside, hearing nothing but shouts of killing. I couldn't help frowning, and as soon as I wanted to get up, I heard a bang, and hurriedly listened.
"Hey, there's a door here. A very obscene voice rang out.
"Go, you go and open it and take a look. A man who sounded very unwilling said.
"Hey, the good places are all being taken over by those stinking bastards, so we're going to have to try our luck here. "The first obscene voice.
Before she could hear more, Eva felt a strong force coming from outside the door, and couldn't help but be taken aback and subconsciously shouted.
There was silence outside the door, and suddenly the obscene voice said in surprise: "Hey, there is a woman behind this door." What else do you want, kick it away. ”
Eva didn't have time to regret it, so she quickly pressed her body against the door, secretly praying that the wood she had picked up would make a difference.
The thumping sound became louder and louder each time, and Eva felt the force coming from her more and more strength, leaving dense beads of sweat on her forehead, and she didn't know if she was tired or scared.
"You're such a piece of shit, you can't even kick a door open. The obscene voice shouted angrily.
"Go up, and you will know that there is a quarrel there. The other voice replied impatiently.
"Why don't you go and see me. A lewd voice rang out.
Eva felt a force greater than just now suddenly passed through the door, and the broken wood that was stuck in the door was visibly deformed, and Eva did not resist it for a while, and staggered a few steps and rolled down the stairs.
"Haha, this is your power, not even a girl. The man who had just kicked the door scoffed vigorously.
"Hey, you wait, Lao Tzu was warming up just now, look at this kick. The lewd voice said with a little surprise.
Eva endured the pain and quickly climbed the stairs again, using all her strength to push up the door, she bit her lip tightly, one elbow and one shoulder against the door, one leg bent, the other straight on the ground, hands clenched into fists in front of her chest.
However, he was still shaken by the force of the lewd man's second kick on the door, and his body fell backwards and fell down the stairs. Although the door was not kicked open, several broken pieces of wood stuck in the door snapped and cracked.
Eva spurted a mouthful of blood, her hands scratching and trying to get back on her feet, but she couldn't muster any strength. She gasped for breath, only to feel that there was no pain in her body, and she barely rolled over and lay on the ground. There was a red light in front of him, and blood kept flowing from the corners of his mouth and nose. She laughed miserably, only to feel a burning pain in her chest, abdomen, and ribs. He barely opened his mouth and said silently: "Waste." ”
With a bang, the door finally slammed open, and little Peter fell out in a daze, and when he looked up, he saw Eva lying there covered in blood.
