Chapter 159: Gusin, you get out of here
Gu Xin was almost crazy with envy.
Among the many cult extraordinaires, the [War] and [Famine] extraordinaries were the most difficult to obtain.
Because [anger] and other negative emotions are pushed to the extreme, condensing a highly concentrated spiritual energy body, and then attaching it to a certain item, then a new evil extraordinary thing can be cultivated.
However, [War] and [Starvation] are super expansions of [Battle] and [Starvation], and without sufficient quality and quantity, the laws of the world will not recognize the birth of a new [War] or [Don't Starve] extraordinary.
This kind of practice of doing big things is often attacked by the orthodox church as soon as it emerges.
It's like not long ago, the famine knight Baipa wanted to starve a boatload of people to death, and used noble priests and nobles from all walks of life as sacrifices to cultivate the demon's stomach pouch to the advanced level, but he was severely beaten.
In the end, even the [Demon Stomach] was converted by Mark (as the price of borrowing a boat from the Church of Light and Night, the Night Priest helped to convert).
[War] extraordinary things are also difficult to get.
This made Gu Xin very angry.
That's right, it's his home field, and the law he deliberately wrote down even deprives the powerhouses of his level of permission to use extraordinary powers.
No matter whose power is banned, the world will not deprive itself of the same [war] power in the [war]!
On the scene, with the blessing of the [Nether Cannon], the disadvantages of the Knights are offset by a small advantage.
When the other party's three boats had already started, the knights and servants were trying to find a way to anchor according to the command, and the speed was not a little slower.
It's just that as soon as the main mast of the opponent's flagship is broken, the two cruisers responsible for escorting the opponent will be embarrassed. Compared to the flagship, which has a displacement of a thousand tons, their firepower is half as low. If there is no flagship to help, they will really become cannon fodder with the two of them, and with the artillery skills of the Knights.
At this time, I don't know who gave the order, one of the escort cruisers heroically rushed up, took the initiative to block between the flagship of the knights and the flagship of the pirates, and became a shield.
Although there was a gap in the size of this cruiser, it was impossible to block the flagship tightly, so it was better to block most of it.
Finally, at the cost of his own body as a shield, it finally gave the pirate flagship a respite, and the pirate captain hurriedly ordered someone to wield a large axe and completely cut off the broken flagship mast.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "Conrad controlled the [Nether Cannon] and opened fire.
Even if it is part of the laws of war, the Nether Cannon cannot exert its destructive power in terms of spiritual power. In this case, they are attached to the original cannon in the form of possession, which looks more like a batch of fully automatic old-fashioned guns.
"You can take care of the delivery of shells and gunpowder." That's what Conrad commanded.
A group of servants took up hard labor, moving bricks, moving dead iron balls from the powder magazine to the shell box next to the cannon, at most helping to change the water in the bucket, and then 'really* hell' watched the cannon operate on its own in an extremely strange way.
"Boom!" After a loud bang.
The strong reaction force drove the wheels on the heavy barrel back along the grooves, and the rollers retreated about a meter and a half before they stuck on the triangle and no longer retreated.
A long pole with a yellow head flew up from the air and plunged into the barrel of the cannon, hooking out the residue of gunpowder that had not been completely burned.
As soon as it came out, another wet toilet brush-like thing poked into the chamber of the cannon to clean the gunpowder inside.
Immediately afterwards, a package of paper-wrapped explosive powder jumped into the barrel of the gun, and then at the top of the barrel, a long needle-like thing was inserted into the small hole used for ignition.
After that, the dead cannonballs in the shell box flew up on their own, and jumped into the barrel with a "grunt".
The barrel began to turn on its own, aiming.
Eventually, the fuse was lit by a torch that flew up.
"Boom!"
No one operated the whole process, and only felt the faint shallow spiritual power moving.
The knights and servants of the artillery district felt that they were a little redundant, and that any able-bodied adult would be able to do the rest of the chores.
They think too much. In fact, even if it is purely manual work, they may not be able to do it well.
For example, on deck, a group of people adjust the angle of the sail under the command of the first mate, which requires two groups of people to pull the rope and adjust the mainsail and spinnaker to a suitable angle.
Helplessly, the knights were clumsy, and they couldn't adjust it well, and they made the Wren battle sacrifice very angry.
Fortunately, Conrad's artillery fire was very strong, maintaining an outrageous hit rate of 1 in 10 shots at a distance of 6,000 meters. Someone else to shoot a breech gun at this distance, and Wren still doesn't pick his skin?
The three ships on the Knights' side, under the command of about 20 Sons of the Storm, drove bummerged, and when they started because the spinnakers were not fixed, they looked shaky, and they looked like novices. It's still much better than the other side.
The cruiser, which had bravely served as a shield, was in ruins.
After the third volley, it fired back in despair.
The range of each other's cannons is the same, but the hit rate is the difference between heaven and earth, and the nearest shell, shot at a distance of 300 meters from the flagship, can be described as no feeling.
But the pirate cruiser was hit by the fourth round of artillery and directly burst the rudder.
"Peng!" Several pirates burst out in fragments, along with the helmsman, along with the surrounding wooden railings and rudders.
Just two meters away, the pirate captain of the cruiser was stunned for a long time and couldn't say half a word.
A desperate scene happened, the rudder was lost, and the whole cruiser began to spin uncontrollably in place counterclockwise, and just a few meters away from hitting the flagship.
"The Sam is finished." The pirate leader murmured in pain.
The rudder is broken, and it can't be repaired on the sea.
Because the hull is not fixed, it is not even possible to counterattack. Like a funny clown, the Sam keeps going in circles, and until the enemy finally picks it up, it's the pathetic spectator of this battlefield.
By this time, there were already pirates on the Sam who had jumped ship, and they tried to swim to the other two ships. As long as you get on the boat, you can do something.
It's a pity that the pirate flagship and the remaining cruiser will not wait for them.
After chopping off the mainmast and regaining its mobility, the pirate flagship used all its strength to grab the upper hand.
In order to achieve his goal, the pirate leader did not hesitate to let the remaining cruiser go ahead.
Unfortunately, a thousand meters later, bad luck struck.
"Winterβ"
Huge bang!
The flagship of the Knights, marching at a speed of 6 knots, hit the pirate cruiser that was driving to 8 knots with one shot, not to mention that it was not dead, and it also bombarded near the waterline with one shot.
This is the largest caliber 32-pounder gun on the battlefield!
On the spot, a huge hole of about one square meter was blasted out.
"Whoa!" A large amount of seawater swarmed into the bilge.
"No more! Abandon ship! Abandon ship now! β
There is no such thing as a sealed cabin for a wooden warship, and such a huge hole is unsolvable. In less than half a minute, the ship tilted badly to the left, and the pirates jumped from the ship in amazement and swam out like crazy.
It's just that most of the pirates didn't get out of the huge whirlpool created when the ship sank and were swept in......
The pirate leader's heart is cold.
With only one sail and one spinnaker left in his boat, the march was so slow that it ran only four knots of shameful speed.
The price of not being able to grab the T-position on your own boat is naturally the other party's grab.
"Damn! If there were no those gunners! How could we lose to a bunch of laymen! The pirate leader wailed in despair.
Here, looking at the desperate pirate faces across from the monoculars, Conrad showed a bloodthirsty expression for the first time in a long time.
"Prayed? Is the suicide note ready? Not good? That won't work either! you to die! "Conrad asked a Storm Child to help make a name for himself this time.
In the next instant, three ships with more than fifty cannons fired sequentially from bow to stern.
"Peng Peng Peng!"
Even with the receding grooves that resemble those of the retractors, the huge reaction force generated by the continuous operation still caused the three ships to stumble to the ground and move sideways by more than a meter to the other side.
The new gunner's accuracy is definitely not as good as the fully automatic [Nether Cannon], but it is better than the gun.
Sometimes you just do whatever you want.
When 72 guns fired a salvo at a distance of 1200 meters, more than 20 iron bumps struck the bow of the thief's flagship.
"Bang bang bang!"
Not to mention that the wooden bow could not withstand such a heavy blow, even the strongest ramming angle was broken in two on the spot. Several iron bullets hit the deck and turned into ricochets, which was a bit like a splash, with the iron balls bouncing up and down the deck to produce continuous destruction.
Whoever was touched, whether it was a gun carriage on the deck or a pirate, was smashed and knocked away like a bowling ball, leaving a blood-colored road in vain.
Three minutes later, the fully self-loaded flagship of the Order was the first to fire again.
This time, it was probably a shell that hit the powder bay of the pirate flagship, which was blown in two on the spot due to the terrible detonation of the ammunition compartment. Countless pieces of human flesh and wood chips flew all over the sea.
At this moment, time and space froze.
"Huh?" Conrad was stunned for a moment, and found that his and his comrades' bodies were flying under the pull of a mysterious force. In the blink of an eye, the ship next to him disappeared, and the surrounding light and shadow flashed quickly.
When he came back to his senses, he was surprised to find that he and his comrades had come to the huge balance tray on the edge of the sky.
"Good boy! Well done! Wren patted Conrad on the shoulder, and then saw Inquisitor Anthony who had arrived first.
Anthony shrugged his shoulders after watching the scales tilt slightly towards the Knights' side: "It's safe here, except that you can't get out, it's no different from the outside world." I suggest you take a break first, eat and drink. β
"Okay."
On Lonnie's side, the cheers were endless.
After two consecutive battles, the situation completely turned in favor of the Knights.
Despite the first two defeats and the loss of more than a thousand men, the third and fourth victories not only regained morale, but also allowed the true elite of the Knights to be saved for the fifth decisive battle.
Not to mention all the powerhouses of Lonnie's lineage, the main forces of Abner and Inquisitor Tony have not moved, not to mention the mysterious and intelligent Mark Destini.
Lonnie was arrogant: "Gusin! Get the hell out of here! β
