51. Battle of the Port 2

The alarm bells rang at Castletown Harbour at this time, and the deep sound was heard far away......

The Seawolf has lifted its anchor,

The crew cut off the cables,

As long as you adjust the direction of the roadway to the sea on the pier, and then raise the sails, you can catch the north wind and rush out of the bay.

However, before the high tide, the roadways in the deep-water port were not very deep, and the crew were not familiar with the roadways.

Small fishing boats are still passable, but large boats are likely to run aground in mudflats, especially at nights like these.

'Dangdang'

The Seawolf heard the bell before going to sea.

The seafarers had just hoisted the mainmast sails less than halfway.

Several sharp arrows shot into the ship one after another from all sides, and the sharp arrows that came out of the darkness all had a rope on their tails, and the huge arrows were deeply inserted into the boat, and then the sound of heavy objects falling into the water was heard.

Under the cover of night, more than a dozen fishing boats surrounded the Seawolf, firing harpoons with ropes from all angles, locking the Seawolf firmly in place.

The sound of the heavy objects falling into the water is the sound of them throwing heavy stones with ropes tied to them and throwing them into the sea.

During the time that this group of elves patrolled around the Seawolf and waited for reinforcements, they also secretly requisitioned nearly twenty fishing boats from the dock and surrounded the Seawolf.

It was to prevent the Seawolf from leaving port, intending to restrain the Seawolf with the help of harpoons and ropes on fishing boats......

The mainsail on the Seawolf gradually swelled, and the crunch of the mast was listened to, and more than forty oars swung with all their might, but the ship could only move forward at a turtle speed.

The crew of the ship ran to the side of the ship, and when they saw the harpoons and ropes bound to the outside of the hull, they immediately tied the slings to their bodies, and hung down from the deck, risking to cut the hooks.

Another group of elves carried three spearguns to the dock, and after the bases of these spearguns were simply fixed with stones, they shot several hooks in succession.

Almost all of these hooks hit the tail of the Seawolf's hull.

The elves tied these ropes to stone stakes in the docks.

Immediately, a rain of arrows flew out of the ship's side.

Several elves were wounded at once, and the remaining elves dragged the wounded out of the range of the shortbow.

At this time, Squadron Leader Simpson quietly boarded the ship on the left side of the Sea Wolf with fifty elven guards.

In the persuasion of the captain who knew how to reason...... To no avail, the two elven guards put their swords around the captain's neck, finally taking temporary control of the ship.

A group of crew lifted the tarpaulin from the speargun, quickly replaced it with the largest whaling harpoon, and fired at the side of the Seawolf......

One and a half meters long, thicker than a thumb, and a circle full of wolf fangs, barbed harpoons, were firmly nailed to the hull of the Seawolf.

There is also a winch specially prepared for whaling on this sea ship, and the kind of rope soaked in tung oil cannot be easily cut even by ordinary long knives.

With all three ropes nailed to the side of the ship near the bow ramming angle, Squadron Leader Simpson had twenty crew members work together to push the winch and stir the three ropes, forcing the ship to hold the Seawolf to a dead end.

The ship was more than half as small as the Seawolf, and the Seawolf barely moved when the winch was pushed.

But the hull of the ship was heavily tilted, and although the ropes on the dock and the anchor sunk in the mud held it steady, the whole ship was still pulled by a winch, and little by little it moved closer to the Seawolf.

Captain Simpson stood beside the side of the ship, holding a small round shield in his hand, occasionally blocking an arrow flying from the opposite side.

The leather pants on his thighs had already pierced two bloody holes with this kind of dark arrow, and the wound was not deep.

The elven guards around him almost all had some arrow wounds......

Everyone stared closely at the Seawolf, which was getting closer and closer, and didn't care that the ship was tilted badly, just waiting for the moment when the two ships were close together...... Jumping ship.

……

The elven guards on the docks and a group of strong elves gathered in the harbor rushed to a ship to the right of the Sea Wolf.

In contrast, the captain of this sea ship is more sober-minded.

Seeing the elven patrolmen boarding the ship, they directly lifted the ship's rainproof cloth covered with spearguns, and took the initiative to let the crew shoot five harpoons into the stern of the Seawolf.

In this way, along with the dozens of hooks that were thrown out, the Seawolf's hull was almost full of ropes hanging around it.

The Seawolf's mainsail was almost completely puffed up.

Even the mainmast post was pulled to the point of clicking, but the hull was still parked at the edge of the pier.

You can't even get into the port lanes......

To the horror of all the crew of the Seawolf, the two ships next to them were approaching under the tug of the hook.

Once the three ships collide together, the next step is to jump ship.

……

Roy followed Princess Ophelia and stood on the docks with a group of young nobles.

These nobles were not allowed to participate in the boarding battle, and some began to become impatient when they saw that the situation was not optimistic, and some secretly sent their followers out to rush back to the upper city to ask for reinforcements.

Roy and Claire stand together, and he follows the young elves on the docks to watch the battle.

Squadron Leader Simpson's team of elven guards and elven guards have never been able to take advantage of anything from the beginning to the present, but the Seawolf almost left the harbor.

The situation is not so rosy now, and the elven warriors need to jump on the Seawolf to fight......

Obviously, the number of elven guards is not superior.

Roy watched the battle on the ship, and for the first time, he felt a strong sense of powerlessness in addition to his blood.

Thinking that he couldn't help, and that Jasper was still imprisoned in the bottom compartment of the Seawolf, he was a little worried about Jasper......

Although a large group of elven guards were found, they did not capture the Seawolf in one fell swoop as expected.

He stood in the crowd, staring at the three sea ships, his body tensing uncontrollably, and he could only clench his fists tightly.

"Isn't it about this battle on the docks...... Feeling a strong sense of powerlessness? ”

Princess Ophelia suddenly turned her head and asked Roy behind her.

Roy was unprepared, stunned by Princess Ophelia's question.

Then he nodded a little blankly.

Princess Ophelia glanced at him and said casually:

"Don't be discouraged, you need to keep learning before you can try to become the warrior you want to be......"

Roy's heart suddenly moved slightly, and then he couldn't help but think, is he going to become a battle priest?

……

Roy didn't pay attention......

Turning his head, he saw Claire crouching on the ground with a group of young elves to select weapons.

I don't know which elven nobleman actually got so many sophisticated weapons.

Among these weapons, in addition to swords and shields, there are also spears and sledgehammers......

There were also young elves wearing light armor.

Claire bent down and picked up a well-made short spear.

Roy touched a longbow in his back and whispered to Claire:

"Claire, how are your archery skills?"

"It's okay!" Claire replied.

Roy casually shoved the longbow into Claire's hand, and picked up a quiver and threw it to him again.

Holding the short spear in Claire's hand, Roy also wanted to pick a light shield, but the square shield had already been picked up, and he only got a small round shield of cast iron, which didn't look too big, but it felt very weighty on his arm.

Claire asked with some confusion, "You also learned to use a war spear?" ”

Roy was getting acquainted with the short spear, about one hundred and eighty centimeters long, with a nimble dance and a very sharp edge.

"No, I chose it because it was just the right length, and the seafarers on the ship were basically equipped with scimitars, which were a little longer than ...... scimitars."

Claire adjusted the string of the longbow in her hand, and with some reluctance hung the quiver around her waist, and asked suspiciously:

"Then why did you give me a set of bows and arrows?"

Roy put his arm around Claire's shoulders and whispered to him:

"When it's time to disembark, I need you to cover me with a bow and arrow, Claire, can I trust you?"

"Of course you can!" Claire patted her chest and reassured.

Then, the two stretched out their right hands and clasped them tightly.

……

Belil. Miss Claire stood in the crowd, and when she saw her brother choose a weapon to go into battle, she was also taken aback by his risky move.

Thinking about what kind of reasons could be used to persuade him to give up this idea, but not to hurt his little courage and self-confidence.

Unexpectedly, his friend actually took the short flying spear and gave him a longbow and a quiver with his backhand.

This makes Belil. Miss Claire's hanging heart was slightly lowered again.

As an archer, at least Claire didn't have to fight the seamen in hand-to-hand combat......

……

The young elves around had already taken up their weapons, and everyone had recovered from the shock they had when they first arrived at the port docks.

Seeing that the elven guards and elven guards rushed onto the ships on both sides, these young elves also took the initiative to pick up the weapons on the ground and ran towards the ship of the Simpsons squadron leader.

The young elf at the front was none other than Wolf. Gocos and Wilson. Griffitz two.

Just after the ball, the two had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel because they wanted to dance the first dance with Princess Ophelia, and now the two began to compete in secret.

Roy and Claire didn't rush to the front.

At this time, Roy did not hide his identity as a trainee priest of the Statue of Liberty Temple, standing in front of Claire and began to recite the prayer, as a divine pattern full of holy light appeared in front of him, the prayer ended, and the divine pattern condensed into a pale golden fist, which merged into Claire's body from the top of Claire's head.

Then Roy blessed himself with the 'Blessing of Strength'.

"You're still a priest of the Statue of Liberty?"

Princess Ophelia, who was standing on the side, said with some surprise.

Roy respectfully turned around and replied:

"It's just a trainee priest, and my companion who was trapped on the ship is also a trainee priest, and they were originally asked to cleanse the ship of the spirits......"

In fact, Roy also wanted to bless the other young elves with a 'power blessing'.

After becoming a second-level apprentice priest, he can perform this magic four times in a row.

But no young elf seemed to have the patience to stay and wait......
