Chapter 125: Frost Nova
"You go and rest first, take advantage of the time to recuperate now, and then there will be no time to rest after encountering pirates." Yu Youping waved his hand at everyone.
Hearing this, everyone entered the battleship cabin one after another, there were many rooms for rest, but due to the size of the battleship, these rooms were very small, but they were enough for temporary rest.
"Classmate Lin, come over here." Xu Yao stopped Lin Bingru and beckoned to her.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Bingru walked over suspiciously, and followed Xu Yao into the room he had chosen. Seeing this, everyone's faces couldn't help but show a strange look.
"3 stars?"
Xu Yao motioned for Lin Bingru to sit down, and then asked.
"Well, thank you."
Lin Bingru nodded, in the two breakthroughs of 2 stars and 3 stars, she received great help from Xu Yao, and this kindness was not small.
"Take it!"
Seeing Lin Bingru nodding, Xu Yao handed over the cards that had already been prepared.
Name: Iciclery.
Quality: Normal.
Rating: 3.
Faction: Frost.
Effect: Freezes a follower and its adjacent followers and deals 1 damage to them.
This 3-star frost spell was included by Xu Yao from the Mage Guild very early, but he was not an ice mage, and Lin Bingru did not reach 3 stars at that time, so Xu Yao did not make it.
This time, with Lin Bingru successfully entering the 3-star level, it is time to give her this card.
Icicle, to be honest, is not a particularly powerful card, freezes 3 targets with 3 stars, plus deals 1 damage.
At first glance, this is a multi-purpose card that can be used to freeze the field and replenish the knife, but it can only freeze 3 targets and only 1 damage, which is a card that looks very good, but is actually a bit of a chicken card.
But this card is in Lin Bingru's hands, with the help of her natural ability, the effect is different, Lin Bingru's talent, frost spell damage 1, can make the damage of this ice pick spell become 2 points, 1 damage and 2 damage, this meaning is completely different.
At most, 1 damage is used to replenish the knife, but after it can be turned into 2 damage, this ice pick can be regarded as a small group solution spell.
Name: Frost Nova.
Quality: Normal.
Rating: 3.
Faction: Frost.
Effect: Freeze is an enemy follower.
In addition to the Ice Pick Technique, Xu Yao also had a 3-star Frost Spell in the card he gave to Lin Bingru, Frost Nova.
This card is a real field control spell, instantly freezing all the enemy's followers, although there is no damage, but it can bring your own counterattack at a critical moment and win the chance to win.
An ice pick technique, a frost nova, these two cards have made Lin Bingru from a simple output-type ice method to a control method that can not only output, but also control the field to create opportunities for teammates.
"There's no money to make an IOU." Xu Yao interrupted what Lin Bingru wanted to say.
Hearing this, Lin Bingru opened her mouth, and finally took out a pen and paper very honestly, wrote an IOU and handed it to Xu Yao, although Lin Bingru didn't want to continue to owe Xu Yao money, but she really liked these two cards, and her improvement was also very obvious.
Therefore, Lin Bingru could only bite the bullet and write an IOU to Xu Yao, remembering what she owed before, Lin Bingru felt that she owed Xu Yao more and more, and what should she do if she couldn't afford to pay it back.
"Pirates spotted, everyone ready to fight!"
Just when Lin Bingru was worried about how to repay the money owed to Xu Yao in the future, suddenly, the alarm sounded, and after hearing this, Xu Yao and Lin Bingru quickly rushed out of the room.
Went to the deck of the battleship with the crowd.
Subsequently, Xu Yao saw a sail warship with a pirate flag in the distance, heading towards this side, and the opponent's battleship was about the same size as Xu Yao and the others.
The armament configuration was similar, with shipborne guns on both sides of the battleship. This configuration is definitely an elite unit among pirates.
Under Xu Yao's gaze, the pirate battleship began to accelerate towards this side, and it was obvious that the other party had also spotted them.
Seeing this, Yu Youping also decisively ordered the charge, and there was absolutely no reason to escape when he encountered pirates.
The distance quickly narrowed under the accelerated charge of the two warships, seeing this, Xu Yao and the others couldn't help but wipe the sweat from their hands, this was the first time that everyone had encountered pirates at sea, and it was also the elite force of pirates.
"Fire!"
When the distance between the two sides came to a certain limit, Yu Youping suddenly ordered.
After receiving the order, the soldiers of the Troop Clan, who had already been ready to go, quickly took out their cards and began to summon pirate retinues.
And every pirate retinue descended, and quickly came to the ship's cannons, and after some maneuvering, the next moment the ship's cannons roared.
Shells whistled towards the opposing warship, and the shipboard guns of the same pirate battleship roared.
The first stage of naval warfare is to first fire with artillery.
"Whoosh!"
The whistling cannonballs swept past the crowd with a sound of breaking through the air, and some of them landed directly on the deck of the battleship, blowing a hole.
The iron battleship, in the face of 2 attack shells, obviously cannot achieve complete defense, if it is a mechanical warship of the Aquila Country, this kind of artillery can't even break the defense.
Luckily, the pirate's warship was also an iron ship, and cannonballs could also cause damage.
In addition to the damage to the battleship, the shell fell on the deck, which also caused some damage to the people on the deck.
However, the members of Yu Youping's team are all professionals, and a 2-point attack cannonball can damage them, but it can't kill them.
Unless it is set on fire and hit by multiple shells at once, but the attack of the ship's artillery is random, and it is more difficult to hit a target at the same time than to buy a lottery ticket to win the jackpot.
The low-level pirate retinues that were summoned to operate the ship's guns were easily killed by the shells.
After a few rounds of artillery salvos, the two warships were already in contact, and it was impossible to sink the opposing battleship with the ship's guns alone.
So the naval battle entered the second stage, hand-to-hand combat.
When the two warships approached, hook claws flew out of the pirate battleship in an instant, hooking the battleship on which Xu Yao and the others were riding, and then one by one the pirates quickly climbed up.
Seeing this, the soldiers of the Soldier War Regiment also took out their weapon cards, commanded the pirate retinue that had just been summoned, and greeted them.
A white-knuckle battle ensued.
"Do you want to go up?" Qian Ji was a little eager to try.
"We are the elite, and we should be the elite of pirates." Nangong Haoxuan shook his head, he knew that the real elite of pirates had not yet made a move, and now they were only killing some ordinary pirates.
Although they are ordinary pirates, they are all apprentice professional level with a mana crystal.
The real professional pirates and the strongest of the pirates have not yet made a move, and the number of pirates is much larger than the number of Yu Youping's squad, they let the ordinary pirates consume a wave first, and then make a move last, which will increase the chances of victory.
As for casualties, the pirates don't care about these at all, only victory is what they are pursuing, no pirate group is disbanded because of too many casualties, only defeat is the biggest reason for the dissolution of the pirate group.
"There are casualties, are we going to take action?" As the battle continued, although the pirates suffered heavy casualties, the soldiers of the same regiment also suffered casualties.
"It's not time yet."
Nangong Haoxuan shook his head, the casualties of the squad of soldiers are certainly regrettable, but for the sake of the final victory, sometimes you have to be ruthless.
In this regard, Xu Yao also agreed with Nangong Haoxuan's choice, now is not the time to make a move, because the strong people on the pirate's side have not yet made a move, and they are easy to be targeted if they kill the past now.
According to the intelligence of the Soldier War Regiment, there will be at least one 5-star captain on such a pirate warship, plus several 4-star deputies.
As for the number of 2 stars and 3 stars, it is impossible to estimate, but I think the number will not be small, after all, there are not many warships of this level, and there are not many Spider Crab Pirate Regiments, and once they are dispatched, they will definitely be full.
On the contrary, it was its own side, which did not reach the maximum size of the battleship.
But this does not affect the combat power, because Yu Youping's team takes the elite route, and the combat power of each fighter is at the middle and upper level of the same level.
It is precisely because the soldiers under his command are all carefully cultivated elites that Yu Youping was in a very bad mood after seeing the casualties.
"Let's do it."
Yu Youping said to the two vice captains beside him. The ordinary pirates are almost done, and it's time for the high-end forces to come out and decide the outcome of this encounter.
Seeing Yu Youping's end, Xu Yao knew that the time for them to make a move was approaching, as long as Yu Youping dragged the strong man among the pirates, they could go over and kill indiscriminately.
Yu Youping is gone, and there are strong people of the same level on the pirate side, because if the other party does not show up, Yu Youping will kill all those pirates, and if the same opponent ends, Yu Youping will also show up to stop him.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that Yu Youping and the pirate's strong man were facing each other, Nangong Haoxuan spoke decisively.
Hearing this, Qian Ji held an axe in one hand and a shield in the other, and took the lead in killing it, and after that, Nangong Haoxuan, Wu Feng and Nangong Ling quickly followed.
"Let's go!"
Seeing this, Xu Yao also waved his hand and killed.
Immediately, the 8 people divided into two squads and went straight to the sides of the pirate battleship, yes, everyone did not choose to join the battle of the troop squad against the pirates, but chose to open up a new battlefield and kill directly on the pirate warship.
At the same time, in order to prevent being trapped, Xu Yao and Nangong Haoxuan both chose different locations, so that if one party has a situation, the other party can also support in time.
Now there are not many pirates left on the pirate warship, and most of the pirates have rushed to the warlord's warship and the soldiers of the warband, so it is not easy for the pirates to encircle both of them at the same time.
Reforestation.
Living roots.
Thorn Guard.
With the help of the hook claws left by the pirates, the group came to the pirate battleship, and then Li Jin quickly made a move, and the three natural spells were activated, and the next moment 2 22 tree men, 2 12 taunt taunt turtles and 2 11 saplings appeared.
Finally, Li Jin took out the fourth card to activate.
The next moment, the power of the storm descended and landed on the 6 followers summoned by Li Jin, increasing the attack power and health of those followers.
The original 22 Treant became 33, the 12 taunt taunt turtle became 23, and the 11 sapling became 22.
This sudden outbreak made those pirates who were about to kill stop suddenly.
Summoning so many followers in such a short period of time, and after being strengthened, many of these subsequent attributes have reached the attributes of 2-star or even 3-star followers, who can withstand this.
Li Jin's talent allows him to cast natural spells to reduce the consumption of 1 mana crystal, 3-star cards only need 2 mana crystals, 2-star cards can be 1 mana crystal, and 1-star cards can even be released without consumption.
That is, the continuous release of 3-star afforestation and 2-star thorn guard will make Li Jin stuck, and it will take some time to recover his mana.
But he used the activation order of the cards to circumvent this, Li Jinxian activated the 3-star afforestation, so that all the mana of his 2-point mana crystal was consumed, and then activated the living roots that did not need mana.
Taking advantage of this gap, Li Jin's empty mana crystal can be restored, which is just right to activate the Thorn Guard.
As for the final Storm Fury, it is also a 1-star natural spell, which Li Jin can release without consumption.
"Is this Li Jin so strong?"
Nangong Haoxuan, who was always paying attention to Xu Yao's situation from a distance, was secretly shocked when he saw Li Jin's outburst.
"Don't be afraid, there are a lot of us, and we're afraid that these guys won't succeed!" There were pirates who drank heavily. Hearing this, all the pirates immediately reacted, and immediately took out their cards and prepared to participate in the battle.
But at this moment, an ice arrow slashed through the void and directly hit the pirate who had just shouted, freezing it, and then several ice guns followed closely behind and bombarded the pirate, killing the pirate who made a sound in an instant.
This scene made the hands of the pirates holding the cards tremble slightly.
The person who spoke just now was a 3-star pirate, and he was killed in seconds like this, and the blue-haired and blue-boy girl who shot it was too terrible.
The blue-haired and blue-boy girl in the eyes of the pirates is naturally Lin Bingru, she is already 3 stars, and with her talent, this explosive power is obviously on a higher level.
Although he was frightened of Lin Bingru's terrifying outburst, this fear also inspired the ferocity of the pirates, and immediately, the pirates on the battleship summoned their followers one after another to kill Xu Yao and the others.
Looking at the swarming enemy, Li Jin asked his entourage to assume a defensive posture, and at this time, Donna walked out, facing the swarming entourage alone.
"What is she going to do!"
Seeing this, those pirates felt a pang in their hearts, but they could see that their followers were getting closer and closer to the target, and the other party still didn't move, and those pirates didn't care so much, so they killed one first.
"Ding!"
When a pirate attendant's knife is about to slash at Donna, a purple question mark shatters on Donna's head, and then the Ice Armor card appears, giving her an ice armor with 8 armor points.
"Ding!"
But soon another purple question mark shattered, and the Flame Enchantment card emerged from the shattered question mark, condensing a large Fire Magic Enchantment in front of Donna. Ensemble all the approaching pirate retinues.
"Boom!"
The flame barrier was formed, and then the blazing flames raged in the barrier, and those followers with low health did not last long before they were consumed by the flames, but some of the higher health points resisted.
Seeing this, Donna draws a card from her hand and activates it.
