Chapter 43: Pirates
The "Beauty" glides smoothly on the sea......
Looking at the calm sea from the captain's room, Mu En said, "It's a beautiful view, and it seems that everything has been forgotten in front of such a vast ocean. ”
Mageron shook his head and smiled: "It seems to be calm now, but it can set off stormy waves in an instant, the endless ocean is unfathomable, and the power of the ocean cannot be resisted by mortals at all." ”
Remembering what Root had said about Mageron, Mu En asked curiously, "It is said that you can predict the appearance of storms in advance, and you can easily see the traces of pirates on the sea, I wonder if it is true." ”
Mageron nodded and said, "Well, I have some fish-man bloodlines in my body, and I just happened to awaken some bloodlines' talent skill storm foresight to communicate with fish." ”
Storm Prediction gives Mageron a high probability of detecting upcoming weather changes, except for some strange weather phenomena, Storm Prediction can protect Magelon's fleet from most storms.
Fish communication allows Mazeron to communicate easily with fish, shrimp, crabs, and other aquatic creatures on the ocean, allowing Magellan to easily grasp the situation around him and not be surrounded by ambush circles set up by other enemies.
The Fish-People are a legendary race, and the legend has it that the males of the Fish-People are extremely ugly, but their women are all beautiful, which is often referred to as mermaids. In knightly novels and legends, mermaids are always described as the embodiment of beauty, kindness, and wisdom, but in reality this is not the case, and there are many evil mermaid legends in history.
Of course, the Naga and the Siren, who are relatively hostile to the 6 races, are relatively neutral and have a certain amount of communication with human society.
Mu En praised in surprise: "You have such a racial talent. No wonder you were the best captain in Rotterport fifteen years ago. ”
Mageron said: "Legend has it that the Endless Ocean is bigger than the Six Lands, and my biggest dream is to see how big it really is. Pity. Ay. ”
Mu En comforted: "When your revenge is avenged, I will sponsor you to fulfill your dream." Haha, I'm afraid you'll be too old to go to sea by then!"
This is the first voyage of the renovated "Beauty", and the captain of Magellon must carefully observe every part of the ship, and also summarize the overall situation of the ship from the feedback from each position, because the "Beauty" is very different from the "Beauty" he was familiar with before:
Originally, the lookout of the "Beauty" had been recruited by the fleets of other chambers of commerce with high salaries and did not continue to stay in Rotterport, which made Mageron very disappointed, you must know that the position of lookout is very important, the two fleets take over the station, whose lookout can be the first to show the other party. Maybe be prepared before the other person.
With a wave of his hand, Mu En simply equipped the 'Beauty' with an enhanced Eagle Eye telescope, which can observe at a distance of up to 50 kilometers, and a life detector to detect life fluctuations around 5 kilometers.
In addition to these, the "Beauty" has many differences from the previous ones, the new "Beauty" is very powerful, but it also makes Mageron a little uncomfortable for a while.
Muen and Mageron were walking in various parts of the 'Beauty' when suddenly the lookout on the watchtower came with a warning: "There are two pirate ships cruising fifty kilometers ahead!"
Hearing this, Mageron sighed: "This Eagle Eye Telescope is too powerful, my talent skills basically don't need to be used! There's a strong sense of loss. ”
Mu En comforted: "Uncle Captain, I believe that you can become the best captain of Rott Port in the first place, relying on more than just those two skills, right?"
Mageron remembered the past years at sea and said proudly: "Of course. Even if I don't have those two skills, I can still be a good captain!"
Mu En smiled: "Isn't that enough! The better the ship, the more it can reflect your talent." Uncle Captain, what do you think should be done in this situation?"
Mageron's sword is sharp. But after all, it has been in the dust for many years, and I think that the ship has not yet run in. He was worried about the ineffective command, and hesitated to say: "Before we get familiar with the new 'Beauty'." Shall we stay away for the time being?"
Mu En sighed secretly, years of decadence may have made Magellon more mature, but he lost the blood that Mu En admired the most, and he secretly said: Let this battle rekindle the uncle's passion!
Mu En looked at Mageron and said resolutely: "Battle! Battle is the best testing ground, after a battle, our sailors and crew will definitely be able to quickly master the new 'Beauty'!"
There seemed to be a raging flame burning in Mu En's eyes, and Mageron was stunned in his heart, and said secretly: Isn't he better than a child?
He clenched his fists and shouted: "Battle! The helmsman turns the strings, the ballista gunner is in place to reload, and the magic sail is always adjusted at any time, and all are in place!"
The young lads who followed him were now adults, but the Mageron on the deck, who calmly arranged his preparations for battle, made them seem to go back to more than a decade ago, and they shouted in unison: "Fight, fight, fight!"
"Haha! Mageron is back! 'Beauty' is back! Guys, we're back! Kill! Kill!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Shouting to kill the sky, morale is like a rainbow at this time!
The magic sails activated, and a hurricane rose out of thin air, dragging the 'Beauty' away, stirring up a long white spray on the otherwise calm sea, but the two pirate ships in the distance still did not react.
Mu En secretly said to Newar and the others: "Let's not use the holy shield for the time being, look at their appearance!"
At sea is not compared to in the air and 6 places, although you can use the buoyancy of wind and water, but the resistance on the sea surface is more huge, so whether it is a monster or a ship, the degree in the sea is not very fast, the 'Beauty' magic sail starts eighty knots (15o km / h) when it can almost dominate in the sea, but the degree and the magic battleship of the big 6 can not be compared at all, of course, compared to the huge cost and magic consumption of the magic battleship, the cost and magic consumption of the magic ship are very low.
"What's that?" The two pirate ships were cruising in this area of sea looking for fat sheep, when suddenly a black spot in the distance was about to expand, attracting their attention.
"There's a ship!Enemy attack!Enemy attack!" cried the pirate lookout on the watchtower, but it was too late!
Unlike the original Ballista of the Deep Blue Pioneer, which fired automatically, these ballistae mounted on the teleportation required the ballista gunner to manually adjust and aim before firing.
However, the magic ballista is a magic ballista after all, and compared to ordinary giant ballistas, magic ballistas have a longer range, which can make crossbow arrows have faster and penetrating power.
The range of a normal ballista is generally less than two kilometers, while the minimum distance of a magic ballista is ten kilometers!
Thick crossbow arrows flew out, each of these crossbow arrows was worth five hundred gold coins, this shot was not a crossbow arrow but a gold coin, and there were also a thousand magic crossbow arrows similar to the original 'Deep Blue Pioneer' shot on the ship, each of which was worth ten thousand gold coins!
"Knock, knock, knock!" Unfortunately, these gunners may not have fired for a long time, and there were a total of fifteen ballistas on one side, and nine crossbow arrows were fired on the water, two on the deck, one on the side armor of the pirate ship, and one on the sail of a pirate ship.
At least four thousand five hundred gold coins were wasted!
Seeing this scene, Mageron blushed a little and shouted: "Damn, you little rabbits, don't you even know how to shoot a cannon? The helmsman turns, keeps his distance, and does it again!"
Hearing this, all the gunners blushed, and once again swung their crossbows, aimed, and fired, although there were still many that could not be aimed at important parts, none of them had failed, and the two pirate ships on the opposite side were already riddled with holes.
These bolts all have magic powder inside, which bursts when they hit their targets, and the ships in the distance begin to slowly emit black smoke, and the bottom of one of them is unfortunately pierced, and the sea water is pouring inward through the large hole.
"Yay!" the ballistaemen cheered, but Captain Magellan only frowned, and scolded angrily: "Are you like this? Think of you more than ten years ago? Think of you back then, when you were just ordinary crossbows, but your accuracy and skill were better than now!"
All the gunners stopped cheering, bowed their heads and pondered: fifteen years, too far away, it seems so far that they have forgotten themselves!
These are just two ordinary medium-sized pirate ships, their fate has already been decided when their sails are hit, and it would be a waste of money to shoot ballistas next.
Mageron ordered: "Keep your distance as much as possible, the magic musketeers are free to shoot, and the warriors are ready to take the strings!"
Mu En extravagantly equipped the crew of the "Beauty" with fifty magic muskets, and the soldiers were also fully clothed, and the shotguns were exchanged for cannons, and twenty-five million were equipped with a ship and more than two hundred people.
But this battle also exposed a lot of problems, many old sailors have not been to sea for too long, and some laxity on the work is on the one hand, the "Beauty" is too huge changes and too luxurious configuration makes them also have some discomfort, the opposite is just an ordinary pirate ship, the highest level on board is only a few intermediate fighters, but still let the crew on the "Beauty" several people seriously injured, and even one crew member almost died!
The battle ended hastily, and the "Beauty" crushed the two pirate ships without any suspense, but the "Beauty" actually did not even wield a tenth of its power, and the crew's first swing was also very disappointing.
It was only because the "Beauty" was so powerful, and they were facing nothing more than two ordinary pirate ships and pirates who did not enter the stream, that they won.
If the opposite side is not an ordinary pirate ship, but a magic ship, if the pirate on the other side is stronger, there are a few high-level pirates, what will be the situation?
Magellon stood on the deck, looked at the chaotic crew, and shouted angrily: "Start now! Daily special training! Lao Tzu will take you back to your own majesty!" (To be continued......)
