Chapter 8: The Pirate's Counterattack
The two surging fireballs tore through the dim sky, piercing through the stormy darkness, the waves of fire rolling and blazing, they pounced like wild beasts, and just as they were about to crash into the hull of the ship, the two fireballs suddenly changed direction. One fell on the stern of their ship with a thud, stirring up a thick column of water, and another fireball swept over the mainmast and slammed into the bow of the ship, stirring up a column of water that soared into the sky.
The ship suddenly erupted in a burst of cheers!
Nia's eyes widened in disbelief as if she had escaped death: "Missed!"
Tang Jie clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "No! they didn't miss, but deliberately didn't hit!"
Nia was taken aback and looked at him, "How do you know?"
Barr patted her on the shoulder: "Kid, he's right! They did deliberately miss the shot! That just told us that from the stern to the bow of the ship, they can attack at will! The implication is that if we try to escape, we will be destroyed immediately!"
Nia was stunned for a moment, and immediately yelled at the sailors on the deck who celebrated her escape: "Don't celebrate! Push the cannons up, the sailors go into the cabin, open the gun bays, and move the gunpowder out, I hope they haven't gotten wet yet!" Harrington, what are you doing, hurry up and adjust the ramming angles, check all the hooks!"
Baal had a serious face and patted Nia on the shoulder: "Don't bother! On the sea, the magician's attack distance is twice as far as the cannon, and our cannon hasn't hit them yet, their magician has already sent me to the sea to feed the fish!"
"As soon as we show any hostility, they will crush us!" Tang Jie's gaze was fixed on the dark canopy in front of him.
Barr glanced at Tang Jie: "You are not only brave and decisive, but also very smart! However, as long as we don't run away, they won't crush us!"
"Why?" Tang Jie asked rhetorically.
Barr smiled, but did not speak, he turned around and wanted to leave, but was pulled by Tang Jie.
Tang Jie looked directly into Barr's eyes: "Captain Barr, may I ask, am I now your man?"
Balhaha smiled: "Of course, my child, when you go out of your way to lower the mainsail, you are already our companion!"
Tang Jie's eyes tightened, and he looked a little aggressive: "Captain Nabar, are there some things you haven't told me yet?"
Barr smiled, "Oh, what's that?"
Tang Jie said in a deep voice: "Who are these guys chasing us, and why are they chasing us?"
Barr smiled and asked slyly, "Son, maybe I should ask you where you came from, and why did you float in the sea?"
Tang Jie felt a headache when he heard this question, and he said solemnly: "Captain Barr, I know what you're thinking, and I know what you're worried about. But I don't think it matters where I'm from, what matters is that we're in the same boat now, we're in the same boat, aren't we?"
Barr smiled and patted Tang Jie on the shoulder with an iron hook: "Kid, you just need to know that we are pirates, and they are the coastal defense army that specializes in encircling pirates, it is enough!" After speaking, he smiled and left him and walked towards the helm station on the deck.
Tang Jie was stunned in place, what the hell is this answer?
Isn't it the same as not saying nothing?
He was about to ask loudly, but suddenly heard Nia say in a deep voice behind him: "The third coastal guard of the Duchy of York, the captain of the guard and captain of the fleet Jones, a second-class sword fighter. If I'm not mistaken, the ship behind us is probably his flagship, the Three-masted Vulture, which is slightly weaker than us in both downwind and upwind. But this is the fastest ship of the 3rd Coast Guard of the Duchy of York, and judging by the speed at which we sail, it is the only one that can follow us for so long and catch up in stormy weather!"
Tang Jie said: "In this way, we only need to deal with one boat, and the situation doesn't seem to be very bad?"
Nia glanced at him like a fool who knew nothing about naval warfare and navigation, and she continued: "Jones's flagship is called the Marauder, and the three-masted Vulture-class battleship is twice as long as our Brigs......
Even if Tang Jie no longer understands naval warfare, he knows that this is a battle between a thin young man and a burly strong man, and the two sides are not at the same level at all in terms of the strength of the battleship.
A string of cold numbers came out of Nia's mouth that made Tang Jie couldn't help but feel chills in his heart, and when he heard the last sailor count, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the pirates on the deck, and roughly counted the number in his heart.
After a shipwreck, there were less than twenty people, and he smiled quite self-deprecatingly, a little bitter: "Fortunately, there are only more than sixty of them." I can pack up to ten by myself, what about you?"
Nia didn't answer him, just stared at him with cold eyes: "Listen, this is not a child's house, nor is it a simple number game! The number of fully loaded sailors of the Brig Exocet-class battleship is sixty-seven, and when I say three, I mean the number of fully loaded sailors. In the course of the pursuit, we have severely reduced our numbers, and the Marauder has come out unscathed! they have at least two hundred well-armed warriors on board!"
Two hundred against twenty!!
Tang Jie gasped, his heart was pounding!
Nia slowly pulled out the saber on her waist, wiped the cold blade on the sword with her fingers, she didn't look at Tang Jie, and said, "You are good, but I am sure that you have definitely not killed anyone......!"
She stared at Tang Jie's eyes tightly, and said extremely seriously: "I don't mean to look down on you, your skills and courage are worthy of my respect." However, I suggest you take refuge in the cabin and come out when the battle is over, and if we win, then we will let you go when we get to the next port. If they win, you say you're a merchant who was kidnapped by us. Do you understand?"
Although he knew that Nia was doing it for his own good, Tang Jie was very unhappy in his heart, and he laughed: "You mean, let me hide aside and watch the excitement?"
He clenched his fists and let out a rattling sound: "How can this kind of thing be without me!"
Nia didn't refute him, just looked at him deeply, and said lightly: "Follow me in a while, I will protect you!"
Tang Jie forced his tongue and sneered: "In the end, don't become me to protect you!
Nia had already turned her head, she heard Tang Jie's words, and suddenly turned her head, her voice was as cold and sharp as the long sword in her hand: "You can't kill people with sharp teeth and sharp tongues, Mr. Tang Jie! You will know soon what a real battle is! The storm just now is just a warm-up before the battle!"
Tang Jie looked at Nia, this blonde woman seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person, she was completely different from the performance in the room and on the deck, as if only when she encountered a real battle, she would become serious, and she would exert all her strength.
This tall woman bloomed with a strong murderous aura all over her body, which made Tang Jie, who was standing on the side, pierce his skin like a needle, and he couldn't help but change his color for it!
Tang Jie's fighting experience is definitely not less than Nia's, but as Nia said, his fights are all fights under the restrictions of various rules, or just street fights, where have he really fought with people to life and death?
Martial arts fighting and outlaw fighting are two completely different concepts.
The former is like an Olympic shooting champion, while the latter is like a sniper in the army who kills countless people.
Both are also sharpshooters, but if they are put into actual combat, they will have two completely different consequences.
Tang Jie looked at Nia's murderous back, and couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring in his heart.
"Fellows!" Captain Barr shouted as he stepped onto the helm and grabbed everyone's attention.
At this time, the storm on the sea weakened, the waves were not as turbulent as before, the heavy rain in the sky was gradually becoming smaller, only the muffled thunder rolling in the sky came one after another, and it seemed that the battlefield where the battle was about to break out was a low drum beat, which hit everyone's heart again and again, heavy, and a force was accumulating, and it would break out at any time.
Barr looked at the sailors on deck, there were less than twenty of his usual companions left at this time, and he was sad in his heart, but as the captain of the ship, he could not show the slightest expression on his face.
He smiled and said slowly and in a low voice, "Some people think that we are a soft persimmon that we can pinch and eat whatever we want! So, they chased us behind our ass for sixty-seven days, and look around you, how many familiar faces are missing? And all this is only because they have imposed a trumped-up charge on us!"
"They say that we have obtained the treasure map of the pirate king Athos, and they say that if we don't hand over the treasure map, they will kill us all!" Barr sneered at the corners of his mouth, "Brothers, tell me, should we give them the pirate map?"
The fierce pirates raised their axes, scimitars, and swords in their hands, and roared loudly: "Don't give, don't give!
"Yes, even if we die!!" Balha laughed loudly, "Even if we kill us, we won't hand over the treasure map!, because we don't have the treasure map of the Pirate King Athos at all!!"
"These bloody officials and gentlemen, they are accustomed to exploiting the poor and the poor on weekdays, and they can frame whoever they want, and they can bully whoever they want! Finally, they have found our head! The treasure map of the Pirate King? Ha, what are we doing with them playing hide and seek with them on the ocean! Why don't we just take out the treasure of the Pirate King Athos and go to the land of wine? What are we doing here in the bitter rain and blowing the sea breeze? Why don't we go to Hu Tianjiudi, a beautiful and snow-white girl?"
Barr waved his arm, and his frenzy appeared, "These bastards who talk with ** are now bullying people again, and we have been forced by them to have no way out, guys, you say, what should we do?"
"Kill them!!"
"Fight with them!!"
"Let these taste our awesomeness!!"
The pirates roared wildly, and the resentment squeezed by the continuous flight for more than sixty days was suddenly ignited and released by Barr!
The whole ship became murderous in the blink of an eye!
Barr's iron hook prosthetic leg slammed into the railing with a loud and sonorous sound: "Then what are you waiting for? Guys, raise our flag, raise it half-sail, lean on, take the broadside, hand-to-hand combat!!"
"Kill !!"
The pirates screamed and roared like beasts, their voices sending the waves far away, echoing through the dim and low black sky, like the charge of the craziest warriors!
Tang Jie stood on the deck, staring blankly at this group of pirates who even had a crazy murderous aura blooming on their faces, unable to say a word.
"Twenty people fight two hundred people...... Tang Jie muttered to himself, "It's crazy!"
When Nia heard his words, she turned around and said lightly: "My father once told me that a pirate who is not crazy is not a good pirate!"
Tang Jie looked at her calm and accustomed expression, he knew that this woman must have grown up in such a battle, and the suffocating pre-war depressing atmosphere in front of her was just a leisurely stroll and a breeze blowing on her face.
"Raise our flag!!" Barr roared, and a blood-red skull flag with a black background fluttered high above the mainmast!
Even in the dark sky, Tang Jie could still clearly see it fluttering arrogantly and uninhibitedly, blazing scarlet, like a bright red flame from the depths of hell!
Standing at the bow of the ship, Barr drew his sword, pointed ahead, and shouted: "With our sword, tell them who is the most inviolable person in the Ataq sea!"
"We!"
"Use our knives and tell them who the bravest pirate is in the Ataq Seas!"
"We!!"
"With our blood, tell them who is the king of the Ataks!"
"We !!"
The pirates' fighting spirit has been stirred to a boiling point by Baal, and now even if Baal asks them to jump into the raging and boiling sea immediately and swim to the enemy's warship to fight, they will not hesitate to jump down!
Barr's beard was as hard as a tightrope, and the flag on the top of the ship fluttered in the wind and rain, and he exclaimed, "Hell, forward!!"
"Kill!"
The pirates shouted in unison!
Even Nia let out a sharp roar, this gorgeous-looking, blonde woman, she was like a bloodthirsty female beast at this time, murderous!
Tang Jie was in the midst of this group of pirates, he felt like he had fallen into a pool of hellish blood, and even the air he breathed was full of blood and gunsmoke.
His muscles trembled slightly, his breathing gradually accelerated, and the heavy murderous aura around him made him a little breathless, and the blood in his body accelerated little by little, slowly boiling......
Under Barr's steering, Tang Jie glared, and gradually could see a sea ship flying a golden flame flag appear in front of them.
When the pirates on the Hell saw the ship, they fell silent one by one, and stopped shouting, they clenched the weapons in their hands, and stared at the approaching Marauder, their eyes gloomy and full of mad intent.
The whole ship was eerily quiet, except for the terrible howling of the wind and rain under the black sky, and the heavy breathing of everyone.
Tang Jie's pitch-black pupils clearly reflected the expansion of a three-masted battleship full of soldiers, and one of the shouters on the Marauder waved his arm at them and shouted loudly for them to stop.
However, the figure of the shouting soldier in Tang Jie's pupils became bigger and bigger, and even Tang Jie could see his frightened and horrified expression clearly.
Suddenly, Tang Jie was shocked, and the ship under his feet shook after a violent impact, booming, a lightning bolt illuminated the sky and the sea with the same name in an instant, time seemed to stop for a moment for a while, the raindrops were frozen in mid-air, and the faces of every pirate were illuminated white, revealing a metallic hard texture!
Slowly, a drop of water hit the cold blade of the forest, making a crisp sound.
Bite!
As if a horn suddenly sounded on the calm battlefield, the pirates on the Hell shouted in unison, each of them dragging the hook and waving the weapons in their hands, like the knights on the battlefield to charge, swinging through the air, their bodies were like electricity, and their momentum was like a rainbow!
A heart-rending roar sounded in Tang Jie's ears.
"Kill !!"
His fists clenched unconsciously, and his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh!
The battle began......
