Chapter 31: The Dragon Eagle Charges
Freed from the entanglement of the two frigates, the Dragon Eagle began to concentrate on dealing with the flagship of the Rose Pirates. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But the bow gun of the Dragon Eagle had just finished attacking,
The stern guns immediately launched a counterattack.
Since the Dragon Eagle is moving forward, it happens to meet the cannonballs head-on,
A cannonball hit the bow deck of the Dragon Eagle and caused a violent explosion.
The blast wave of the explosion washed several sailors on deck into the sea.
The Dragon Eagle hurriedly put down a life-saving dinghy, which carried two sailors,
They are responsible for rescuing people who have fallen into the water.
The Dragon Eagle continued to pursue the enemy's flagship.
Having learned this lesson, Captain Robert told the ship to keep a sufficient distance from the other party to react.
When the opponent's cannonball hits again, the captain has enough time to slow down and dodge.
A new round of cannonballs roared into the sea, only splashing a cloud of water, and did not cause new damage to the [Dragon Eagle].
"The speed of the sail alone is not enough!"
Captain Robert shouted, and the pipe in his mouth fell to the ground.
This time he had met an opponent, and the captain of the other party's flagship was also quite good.
has been using the most dangerous stern to lure the [Dragon Eagle] closer, and while dodging the attack of the [Dragon Eagle],
Gives the Dragon Eagle an extremely effective counterattack.
At the current speed of the Dragon Eagle, it is indeed impossible to engage the other side in the broadside.
As long as the other party wants, the two ships can run in the sea for hours, and it doesn't necessarily change anything.
The weather must not have changed much now, otherwise Captain Robert wouldn't have been so nervous that he dropped his pipe.
In fact, it's not that I don't want to use oars, it's just that now [Dragon Eagle] can only use half of the oars.
If the enemy knows that the [Dragon Eagle] paddle machine is not powered enough, he will definitely use the speed advantage to attack the [Dragon Eagle].
Even if the other person is too stupid to take advantage of such an advantage, they will use the oars to accelerate in the same way.
At that time, the two ships will return to the current embarrassing situation of not being able to catch up and not escape.
The only countermeasure Wren can think of right now is to use the range advantage of the Elemental Boom Cannon to make a hole in the back of the enemy's butt.
This made it possible to catch up with them and get on board the enemy's flagship.
It wasn't just Wren who thought of this method, the captain and first mate of the sailors had already set their eyes on him.
Wren understood that this order still had to be given by himself: "Dismantle the two elemental whirling cannons to the front!
"Yes!" the captain of the sailors happily agreed, and then began to help the gunners dismantle the Elemental Boomer.
With the efforts of several sailors, the Elemental Boom Cannon was dismantled,
And at great speed it was installed on the guardrails on both sides of the bow.
Then came the tense moment of recharging.
In order to ensure power, it takes at least thirty minutes.
During this time, the Dragon Eagle had to follow the enemy's flagship closely while dodging the enemy's cannonballs.
Wren, who had nothing to do for the time being, remembered the suspicious ship that had appeared before.
It is impossible for him not to be aware of the fact that the battle has been going on so far.
However, Wren looked through the monoculars for a week, but found no trace of the other party.
Did you run away, or did you call someone?
There should be a desert island where pirates gather nearby, and if it were to call people, then this battle would be dangerous.
Wren was a little moved to retreat, after all, there was only one ship of the Rose Pirates still fighting the [Dragon Eagle].
However, although there is only one ship, the speed after using the oars is faster than that of the Dragon Eagle.
If you really want to run away now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape the pursuit of the other party.
Considering that it would affect morale, Wren didn't shout out his thoughts.
After he asked Ogudo to lead the team and prepare to board the ship at any time, he went to the captain's side alone to understand the situation.
As a result, as before, Captain Robert could not retreat.
He judged that there would be no strange weather on this day, so it was impossible to use the storm to avoid the pursuit.
Even if the storm really comes, at the level of the new captain of the other side now,
It is not difficult to bite the [Dragon Eagle] in the middle of a storm.
It seems that there is no way to leave here without defeating the flagship of the Rose Pirates today.
Then put aside the possible reinforcements of other pirates for the time being, and take out the enemy in front of you first.
After thinking clearly, Wren walked to the place where Ogudo had prepared, and quietly waited for the Elemental Gyroscope to be recharged.
Thirty minutes was a long time in a boring pursuit.
When the two sailors who charged the Elemental Boom Cannon shouted the words "Charge Complete", Wren felt the whole world jump.
However, he was excited and did not command the opening of the cannon, and the instructions for firing the cannon were still handed over to the experienced sailor captain.
He knew when it was best to fire.
There was another suffocating wait, but fortunately the suffocating feeling was soon released.
With a "fire!", the two elemental whirling cannons fired one after another,
Instead of the roar of a normal cannon fire, two multicolored cannonballs that distorted the light shot straight at the butt of the Rose Pirate Flagship.
After the shells easily smashed into the walls of the enemy ships, two violent explosions blew the tail of the enemy flagship up.
"Hit!"
"Well done!"
The sailors cheered, and Wren could see clearly the two large holes in the butt of the enemy's flagship.
Seeing the sudden slowdown of the enemy ship, Wren knew that the time had come, so he looked at Ogudo beside him.
Ogudo was also looking at Wren, and when he saw that Wren was also looking at himself, his long sword was instantly drawn,
Swinging in the direction of the enemy ship, he shouted: "Charge!"
"Whew~!"
Sailors and mercenaries shouted in response.
Taking advantage of the high morale of everyone, Captain Robert gave the order to stretch out his oars and move towards the enemy ship at full speed.
The damage to the enemy ship has been passed down by the first mate, so the sailors and mercenaries on the paddle level are quite excited,
The rowing action is also particularly powerful.
Although it is only half of the oars, the momentum of the rowing is not lost in the slightest when the oars are full.
Perhaps it was Wren's delusion, in his opinion, the Dragon Eagle was moving faster than ever.
He was less than 200 meters away from the enemy ship, and he could see the enemy running back and forth on the deck of the enemy ship from a distance.
The red-haired pirate leader was standing at the stern of the ship, a fiery spell in his hand.
"Oh no! it's a fireball!"
After recognizing the fiery red spell as a large fireball, Wren remembered that the Dragon Eagle had broken a mast before.
Augusto had also felt the fluctuation of that magic, and he was covered in an earthy yellow fighting voice that stimulated,
The whole person instantly appeared on the bow of the [Dragon Eagle], holding the long sword in one hand at will, waiting for the other party's fireball attack.
When the two ships approached a hundred meters, the magic of the Rose Pirate Leader was ready,
A fireball the size of a wheel burned fiercely towards the Dragon Eagle.
Seeing that the big fireball was about to rush to the bow of the [Dragon Eagle], it was controlled by the other party and bypassed, intending to avoid the side of the Ogudo attack ship.
Augustodo remained where he was, and when the fireball was about to hit the wall of the ship, he suddenly disappeared again.
By the time Wren saw Ogudo again, he was already standing on the side of the ship's handrail on the side of the fireball.
Holding the long sword in both hands, with a seemingly relaxed swing, the air in front of him distorted,
An earthy yellow half-moon fighting qi flew out, colliding directly with the rushing fireball.
I don't know what means Ogudo used, the expected big fireball was not happening in half,
Instead, the fireball was attacked and flew backwards.
Finally, it exploded over the sea thirty or forty meters away from the [Dragon Eagle].
The blast wave and heat wave of the explosion rushed into Wren's face, letting Wren know how terrifying the power of this blow really was.
Look at the flagship of the Rose Pirates, the pirate leader is already evacuating the stern.
At this time, the [Dragon Eagle] was only fifty or sixty meters away from the enemy ship, and the faces of the pirates on the opposing ship could already be distinguished.
"Shield cover!The crossbowmen are ready to "solve the enemy's magic, and at some point, Ogudo has returned to Wren's side.
The mercenaries on the deck who were in charge of the battle hurriedly raised their shields.
Enemy crossbows and bows and arrows arrived, and the wood was nailed to the shield and the deck of the Dragon Eagle.
Some of the bows and arrows that slipped through the net to reach the landing team were slashed by Augusto's swift swing of his sword.
When the enemy's attack was over, Augusto hurriedly ordered: "Crossbowmen fire!"
Several sailors lifted the gangways that had been prepared, and after a moment the [Dragon Eagle] stopped next to the enemy ship, they set it up and pushed it over.
At this time, Ogudo stood first, and Wren took the shield handed by a mercenary, and followed in second place with a purple and gold whip in his hand.
He was followed by ten members of the boarding team with various weapons.
