Chapter 12: The Fight
Hades felt that his mind was disturbed, and with his usual alertness, he would not have noticed if a ship had approached him.
But he reacted because he was about to kill the girl, so much so that the enemy pointed a cannon at his face.
Glancing coldly at the girl who was still in a coma in the warehouse, his determination to kill her became even more determined.
But not now, when I'm done cleaning up these troublemakers, I'll come back and deal with her.
Hades gave himself an excuse, retrieved the long knife, which was only a centimeter from her neck, and walked out of the warehouse.
Speaking of which, the last time he was attacked by pirates was when he had just crossed over.
The terrifying harpoon cannon pierced through the hull of the ship, connecting the two ships vividly, and this time the enemy directly adopted the strategy of long-range bombardment.
Calming down, Hades called up the system and moved the wooden plank material to the damaged part of the hull, and in an instant, a white light flashed, and the hole that had been punched by the shell was instantly repaired to its original state.
"Where did the pirates come from?"
Staring carefully at the flag on the pirate ship in the distance, it was a sign of a python wrapped around a skull.
recalled that there didn't seem to be such a pirate group in the original book, and it was estimated that it was a miscellaneous fish.
Hades steered the main body to turn and aimed the ship's guns at the enemy, while drawing his long knife and always on guard to defend himself.
There was a "boom", and another cannon sounded, but this time the opponent did not hit, and as the Hades moved, the enemy's shell hit crookedly, fell into the water, and exploded into the sky.
"Just try my new gun."
On the ship, the firing port of a cannon had been installed, and the gunpowder was stuffed into the barrel of the gun, and with the slow rotation of the huge muzzle, it was aimed at the pirate ship flying the skull flag.
Because Hades is the ship itself, he can not only control everything that belongs to him on the ship, but also switch the perspective to the gun, with the help of the system-assisted aiming tool, although it is the first time to use the gun, but the operation is as skilled and accurate as an old gunner.
There was a loud "bang", black smoke was spewed from the muzzle of the gun, and a strong shock wave was carried with it, and the shell cut through a beautiful parabola and pierced the deck of the enemy ship.
"Boss, our ship has been hit!"
The pirates on the pirate ship were panicked by the counterattack of this cannon.
"There are also cannons on the ship opposite! And the gunners are very experienced, let's ......"
In the final analysis, the pirates are just a group of untrained rabble, who can shoot and fire, but the accuracy has always been left to fate.
"See what I'm doing? Fight back! ”
"But...... Our artillery can't hit them......"
"Rubbish! Lean in and fight in close combat! The captain looked at the group of subordinates, his face darkened, and he gave an order.
"Yes!"
On the other hand, Hades's first hit undoubtedly increased his self-confidence, and he immediately added fuel to deliver the shells and prepare for the second launch.
"Boom! ——! ”
The deafening sound of cannon fire resounded through the sea, and this time the shells aimed at the bottom of the hull, shaking the pirate ship violently, and the sea water overflowed into the bottom of the cabin, and the pirates rushed to scoop up the water and repair the ship.
At this moment, the third shell was already fired, hitting the mast of the enemy ship, the sail was shot down, and the pirate ship lost its mobility.
The fourth shell blew up in the bow of the ship, knocking two gunners who were ready to return fire into the sea.
......
The ninth cannonball, the pirate ship finally couldn't bear it, and it disintegrated at sea with a "click", like a building block falling apart in a child's hand.
The [Giant Python Pirates] have been dominating near Poly Island in the West Sea for a long time, and they have encountered dangers, but this is the first time that such a devastating blow has occurred.
The entire crew of the pirate ship was stunned, and some of the crew members forgot to escape for a while, and could only stare in horror as the ship slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
The sound of artillery continued, and this time the target was the pirates struggling to survive in the sea.
"Boom~~!"
"Boom~~!"
The artillery fell to the surface of the sea, splashing huge waves that smashed the surface of the sea to unevenness, and beneath the sea, several pirates were blown up and flew sideways.
At one o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock, the news of the increase in the number of souls kept coming, suggesting that Hades had been successfully promoted to a skilled executioner.
But he didn't mean to stop at all, compared to inserting a knife into the girl's neck, pulling the arquebus and firing the cannon was too simple for him, and he didn't need to bear any psychological burden, so he harvested one human life after another.
"Kill! ——! ”
Eventually, a pirate swam to the vicinity of the Hades and managed to climb the deck.
The deaths of countless companions made his eyes bloodshot, and he raised his knife to slash, but he was shocked to find that there was no one on this ship, not even the cannon that was firing at that moment.
"Are you...... Are you ...... Looking for me? ”
The immature child's voice sounded behind him with a little stutter.
The pirate was so frightened that he turned around with a knife, but slashed into the air.
A cloud of starlight dispersed and reunited above the pirate's head, condensing a boy about seven or eight years old.
He pulled out the long knife in his hand and pressed it against the pirate's neck with an expressionless face, and wiped it lightly.
Blood, stained the knife edge, stained the deck red, splashed on Hades' cold body, but did not evoke even the slightest fluctuation in his emotions.
"Why is it so difficult to do such a simple thing just now?"
Hades recalled the girl in the cabin, the knife reaching only a centimeter to her neck, but it seemed like a light year away.
Retracting his wandering mind, Hades quietly wiped the blood from his knife and prepared to continue the battle.
He could already feel a large number of people climbing up the deck, rapidly approaching in his direction.
But he didn't have the slightest fear, on the contrary, it fell into his eyes, and it was a myriad of souls approaching him.
A large number of metal spears, harpoons and other sharp weapons floated up, and Hades raised his hand and waved lightly, and the sharp weapons seemed to be added with thrusters, like bullets fired at high speed, piercing through the pirates one by one and nailing them to the deck.
After the group of pirates got on the ship, they were slaughtered by Hades before they could react.
"Ahh——!h I don't want to die, help, help me! ”
As soon as a pirate climbed aboard the ship, he saw the horrors of this hell on earth, and struggled to jump off the ship, but suddenly was pressed to the ground by a curled tail.
The terrifying force crushed it to pieces, and blood mixed with the inner zang flowed out, adding a little more color to the hellish ship.
At the same time, the owner of the tail also revealed his true face.
