Chapter 23: The Rover (Part I)
Just before sunset, the Potato finally caught up with Princess Ivana.
Five large ships marched in parallel on the sea.
They deviated slightly from course, so that they could avoid encounters with other adventurers' ships. A considerable number of adventurers who are unwilling to make trouble in the mission world will also make this choice, and a few adventurers who think they are strong or in groups will still sail on the main channel.
Shen Yi was sitting on the bow of the ship looking at the charts.
Gentle grabbed a sail rope from Princess Ivana and swung herself onto the Potato, moving swiftly like a pirate.
Then King Kong also swung to this side one after another and landed in front of Shen Yi.
"You guys don't guard your own boat, why are you running here with me?" Shen Yi said with a smile.
"Anyway, it's okay to be idle, I'm looking for you to talk. Hong Lang replied: "The team channel doesn't even have a talker, not to mention that people in this era can't understand it, even if it's put in the 21st century, others think you're talking to yourself." The look in which people look at them like gorillas is really uncomfortable. ”
King Kong sat next to Shen Yi: "It's really comfortable to talk face-to-face." The biggest problem in entering the mission world has been solved, Shen Yi, what are your plans next?"
Although Breakerblades had a full plan for their confrontation with the Bloodpiers before entering Pirates of the Caribbean, everything was only about choosing a mission world and preparing for it.
The Assassin Blood Team is an incomparably powerful combat team on the frontal battlefield, and in order to win this one, Shen Yi must choose a mobile battlefield with special terrain and landforms. Oceans, deserts, snow-capped mountains, and even space are all within Shen Yi's range of choices. Although the mission world of the Bloody City is diverse and not limited to the movie world, there are still a large number of mission worlds with the above terrain as the main body. Under normal odds, they would definitely be able to wait for such a world.
The problem is that they can do research and preparation for these worlds, but they don't know what they will end up in and what they will face after entering.
What is the mission mode and what is the mission content?
Is everyone together after entering, or is it divided?
Nobody knows.
This is also the most unpredictable and controllable part, which can only be decided by luck and strength.
There is no point in making a plan without knowing anything, so everyone can only prepare before entering, and after entering, you can only take one step at a time.
Hearing King Kong ask him at this moment, Shen Yi replied: "The Lancet Team is a trouble, but it is not good to only focus on the Lancet Squad and ignore the task." In addition to the delivery of goods to the port of Tutuca, we had to reach 9,000 standard points in this mission. In other words, in the process of transporting goods along the way, each person must also get more than 7,000 blood points. ”
Seven thousand points means that each adventurer must destroy at least three or more high-level warships or pirate ships, of course, you can also choose to directly snatch the goods of other adventurers - destroy four, achieve one.
"I don't know if those British ** ships are good to deal with. Hong Lang muttered.
"You won't know if you have a fight. "King Kong interface.
"Who are you fighting with?" Hong Lang asked.
"That's not it. Shen Yi smiled and pointed into the distance with his chin.
Under the light of the setting sun, a British ** ship was appearing at the far end of the horizon, slowly moving on the sea.
――――――――――――――――
The Rover rode the waves.
As a corvette, the Rover has an impressive record of sinking two ships and severely damaging one in two naval battles. Its commander, Baron Isolda Althorp, was a proud young man eager to take himself to the next level.
In the field of view of the monoculars, five merchant ships are heading in parallel to each other.
The corners of the baron's mouth twitched into a hint of disdain: "These nasty smugglers, they must learn to pay for their greed." ”
Turning his head, the baron gave a loud order: "Turn the rudder fifty to the right!
The Rover slowly turned over its hull, facing the merchant ship with one side of it.
Hong Lang asked confusedly, "What does this mean, what are they doing?"
Captain Courtney shouted in horror, "Damn, they're going to shoot!
Since the position of the naval guns is mostly located on the flanks, when fighting at sea, the two warring sides always aim their own flanks at the front of the enemy as much as possible, so as to use their strong firepower advantage to crush the opponent.
When a warship turns its hull as soon as it sees you, it is self-evident.
The next moment, dozens of naval guns on the Rover fired in unison, and they rumbled towards the merchant ship.
Although it was a sixteenth-century cannon, it was far from being as powerful as the real ones, but it was enough to deal with wooden merchant ships.
Huge water columns were smashed by cannonballs on the surface of the sea, just like countless fountains blooming at the same time, producing huge splashes.
Several shells landed on the Maxim Manor, shattering a piece of the ship's plank, and several sailors fell into the water wailing.
"Damn it, my boat!" Hong Lang cried out in heartache.
He was now beginning to understand the problems of warfare at sea. Adventurers may not be afraid of these ordinary shelling, but ships cannot be afraid, and sailors cannot be afraid.
No ships, no sailors, what to take to deliver cargo, to complete tasks?
The Bloody City is tantamount to artificially creating a fatal crux for them.
When the NPC strength in the mission world is insufficient, it is adjusted through the mission mode - this is an important conclusion that Shen Yi has reached.
At this moment, the shells flew towards the merchant ships one after another, hitting several merchant ships with holes one after another. The sailors ran and shouted, and everywhere there were cross-cutting pieces of wood flying.
The British fleet of the East India Company was more greedy than pirates, more cruel than pirates, and was not merciful to anything that might offend their interests.
Hong Lang shouted: "Shen Yi, what are you waiting for?
Battles at sea, the first in distant battles. Although they didn't know what their mission would be, the Breakerblades were well prepared for a long-range firefight.
However, Shen Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "No, you can't smash that ship, I want to capture it!"
"What did you say?" Everyone was stunned, Shen Yi suddenly waved his left hand, and the vampire's touch swept silently, cutting a springboard in two.
Grabbing the gangplank and throwing it into the sea, Shen Yi jumped into the sea: "I'll go capture that ship, you protect here!"
"What the do I use to protect the boat!?" yelled Hong Lang.
"Use your body. ”
"Damn!" Hong Lang stomped his foot.
At this moment, a cannonball flew in, and Hong Lang collided with the cannonball without thinking, and the big iron bullet hit him hard, making him grin in pain. It's just that with his current physical fitness, this kind of cannon really can't hurt him much.
As soon as he landed, Gentle looked at him with sympathetic eyes and said, "That cannonball missed, it was supposed to fly over above, why did you have to stop it?"
Hong Lang was dumbfounded.
―――――――――――
As if surfing, Shen Yi stepped on the springboard and slid towards the Rover in the rolling waves. If it had been before, he would never have been able to do this, but the basic water-based specialization ability made his water-based ability increase greatly, coupled with the high control effect of the precision talent, he easily completed this seemingly impossible scene.
On the vast sea, Shen Yi seemed to be stepping on a flat boat and going straight in the wind, which shocked everyone, and even the artillery fire on the warship stopped for a moment.
Old Captain Courtney kept rowing the cross: "Son of Poseidon, Son of Poseidon......"
At this moment, he was already full of trust and admiration for Shen Yi.
Baron Izolda Allsop put away the monoculars, pointed at Shen Yi who was riding the waves on the sea, and shouted: "Aim at him!"
The muzzles of at least three cannons turned to Shen Yi at the same time, firing continuously at Shen Yi.
However, for high-speed, smaller-sized targets, these old guns have a far worse hit rate. The cannonballs bloomed around Shen Yi, and the churning waves became a better point for Shen Yi to borrow, treading the waves under the blue sea and blue sky, and shuttling freely in the rain of bullets, Shen Yi was like a flying fish, dexterous and fast to the target.
Seeing that Shen Yi was getting closer and closer, a group of British sailors rushed to the deck and aimed at Shen Yi with the long barrel of fire in their hands.
Shen Yi's right hand spirit musket was raised, and a series of bullets flew out. With his current expert-level marksmanship expertise, he didn't need to aim at all.
But at this moment, a crisis suddenly appeared in Shen Yi's heart.
A flap on the side of the Rover suddenly opened, and a black barrel protruded from it, a larger caliber than the other guns, but firing faster.
The fire at the muzzle of the gun flashed, and with a huge roar, a cannonball had already flew fiercely towards Shen Yi.
Shen Yi instinctively lowered his body, and the cannonball flew over his head, landing on the sea more than ten meters behind him, and the waves set off instantly submerged Shen Yi.
At the same time, two black-barreled cannons of the same caliber stretched out and smashed wildly at the sea, shaking the sea surface into waves and causing an artificial rainstorm in an entire area.
"What kind of cannon is that?" exclaimed Gentle.
The old captain Courtney next to him replied in a trembling and frightened manner: "The British's new rapid-fire heavy artillery, they relied on this kind of cannon to defeat the Spanish Armada, that is their masterpiece!"
"No, it's not the work of the British. King Kong replied angrily.
There is no doubt that the strength of these British ships has been enhanced by the city, giving them more powerful artillery fire to deal with adventurers.
After a round of artillery attack, the sea finally returned to calm, but Shen Yi's shadow was no longer visible.
"Shen Yi, are you okay?" Hong Lang shouted: "Answer me quickly!"
There was no answer.
Everyone's hearts were cold.
Could it be that an old-fashioned warship can bury Shen Yi at the bottom of the sea?
At that moment, a claw suddenly flew out of the sea, grabbing the rover's mainmast.
A figure flew out of the water, a man in the air, and the muzzle of the gun had already fired a bullet that burned in the sky.
With the bullets flying, Shen Yi had already landed on the deck, and the vampire touch of his left hand, with a reverse stroke, had already cut the throat of a soldier. Ever since the X-Men fought the North Side adventurer, he'd been particularly fond of this throat wiping trick.
The soldier clutched his throat and took a few steps backwards, but instead of dying, he drew a sword and pounced.
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately used spiritual probing.
"British Mariners: Defense 6, Life 120. Equipped weapons: unranked one-handed sword, attack 7-12. Advanced level water-based specialization. ”
Advanced Water Specialization: Fights in special terrain such as ships, with a 20% performance bonus. When fighting in water, all attacks, movement speed, and attack speed are reduced by 40%.
Although these naval soldiers have limited strength, they can better exert their own strength when fighting on the ship, no wonder Shen Yi can still not die after being slapped by Shen Yi.
Shen Yi stepped forward, stretched out his left arm, hugged the soldier's head and twisted it fiercely, and broke the soldier's neck.
Seeing that Shen Yi was fine, Hong Lang shouted excitedly: "You haven't died and won't reply!"
"You're trying to talk in the water. Shen Yi replied, and more than a dozen naval soldiers rushed over in front of him.
Summoning Liquid Metal Terminator No. 1 casually, Shen Yi said: "Kill them all!"
"As you wish, sir. ”
The Liquid Metal Terminator's right arm had transformed into a razor-sharp greatsword, slashing at the soldiers.
Shen Yi's right hand was raised again, and the flying claws had already lifted him high and flew towards the command tower.
The left hand of the vampire touches the baron Isolda Althorp......
Capture the thief and capture the king first!
