Chapter 487: Construction
In the evening, the Deep Sea Silence bites a converted merchant ship, and the two chase each other on the sea, and the navigator uses his own ability to direct the crew of sailors to perform micro-maneuvers, constantly reducing the distance.
"The artillery group is in position, and the second salvo is fired."
The two ships were parallel, the Deep Sea Silence was the first to fire, and the eighteen heavy guns on one side were fired in unison, and according to the captain's order, the chief of artillery ordered his subordinates to replace the grapeshot shells.
The purpose of grape bullets is to effectively hit the enemy's living forces, because the round bullet is fixed with something like an iron plate, and there is no shell to wrap it outside, it looks like a large bunch of grapes, and when fired, the stone bullet breaks through the shackles of the projectile body under the impact of gunpowder and scatters in all directions, significantly expanding the impact area.
Three rounds of cannon fire, bullets rained down, the refit merchant ship did not suffer much damage to the hull, but the guards on deck suffered heavy losses, the heavy cargo limited the speed of sailing, the Deep Sea Silence approached it, the hook was thrown, and as the minutes passed, a collision caused a strong shaking, the rails shattered, and a broadside battle broke out between the two sides.
Unexpectedly, the captain of the merchant ship ordered his own gunners to fire at a very close range, and the smoke of gunpowder when the twelve guns were fired drifted in the cabin, and one of the heavy cannons at the bottom of the box bombarded the enemy's sea-touching ship layer, this distance, even the most stupid gunners, have a high probability of hitting, once the cabin is flooded, as long as they survive the white-knuckle battle, they can take advantage of the opportunity of the enemy to repair to complete the break.
At the critical moment, Dudis personally intervened, jumped off the deck and cut off the cannonball with a scimitar, but he himself was hit by the powerful impact and fell into the sea on the white oak hull.
Seeing this, the first mate immediately took over the command, and the first to use the hook to reach the enemy deck, the merchant ship gunners quickly completed a round of alternate shooting, and more than 30 company employees lost their combat ability on the spot, but the broadside battle was completely opened, and the end was already doomed.
The escort formation was scattered, and the merchant gunners threw away their rear-loading smoothbore guns, drew their scimitars and fought, and the two sides fought together immediately, and in the era of colonial development, blood and fire were always commonplace.
Jiang Yuan descended the cable of the sail to the enemy deck, he had come to fight for the spoils of war, and there were few transcendent individuals of this size who could be called a threat.
There was a lot of noise around, roars and wails everywhere, the first mate organized the fighters to capture the captain's room, Jiang Yuan walked around in the merchant ship escort, the black sword kept prying the incoming scimitar, without the skilled battle formation, the weapons of the guards could easily kill their teammates, and in just a few minutes, nearly twenty enemies fell one after another.
In the midst of the chaotic fight, the captain of the merchant ship's guard was forced to find someone, as the other party was almost on the other side of the deck.
The scimitar attacked, Jiang Yuan pulled the black sword out of the eye socket of an enemy, pulled it horizontally to the left to resist, several sparks exploded, and the guard chief pressed down with both hands in his hands with hideous eyes, the fluctuations of the force dispersed, and a slight buzzing sound came from the glove in his right hand, and the strength suddenly reached its peak.
Jiang Yuan let go of his strength, sideways and quickly and repeatedly stomped on the ground in an extremely strange way, the speed exploded, he walked past the enemy, and the sharp blade of the sword sliced the neck of the apprentice knight.
A backhand sword, pierced through the back of the head, completely ending it.
Two boarding axes slashed, Jiang Yuan immediately retreated, the most dangerous part of the chaotic battle is the sneak attack launched from nowhere, if the spirit is too tight, it will consume excess physical strength, and the threat of the moment also makes the full force attack full of variables.
But there is no need to broaden one's horizons, one can survive here with instinct and experience alone to the end.
In addition to the captain of the guard who died just now, there was also a young man dressed in the regular dress of the Old Continent who fought bravely, and the sword fell on him for no reason, the Guardian of the Dark Sun Path Sequence Nine Unbalanced, with strong limbs and the ability to deflect attacks, he was a humanoid shield, and he was also a trainee knight.
More than a dozen company employees were killed, and it wasn't until Dudis climbed up from the sea that his offensive momentum was stopped.
"Get hooked!" Dudis shouted loudly, and at the same time, he slashed the young man's weapon away, and the knight's talent and slam gave him plenty of explosive power.
Several hooks surrounded the target, and the unbalanced ability was activated, and none of them fell to the surface of the youth's body, but as they tightened, the hooks and ropes intertwined with each other, like rope armor to complete the bondage, and these employees who threw the hooks were skilled pitchers when the broadside battle began.
The knights joined the fray, the crumbling resistance broke down completely, and the first mate led the fighters to capture the leader of the merchant ships, and the battle was declared over.
Jiang Yuan put away his sword, came to the dead captain of the guard and picked up the gloves on the other party's hand, this thing looks more like a part of the armor, the back is engraved with exquisite patterns, with a slight trace of alchemy, and the energy is extremely refined gold in the palm of the hand, which is already close to black.
"It's yours." Dudis approached and patted the new senior auditor on the shoulder, this guy killed thirty-four guards without changing his face, and it was basically certain that he had no chance with order.
"Something." Jiang Yuan asked, this special weapon may be the reason why the old continent still practiced the gold standard in an extraordinary environment.
"Constructed armor, it is more popular on the Empire's side, knights are not dead, you have never seen a big scene of knights attacking the general artillery position, it and the Force Gun are the front and back of the craftsman's product," Dudis smiled, and explained specifically, "The first-order constructed armor can provide a complete special blessing, the second-order two, and so on, the Force Gun is the same, this case, I guess it is a simple but commonly used [Great Force], but the energy is about to run out." ”
Jiang Yuan put on the glove, shook it hard and activated it with the force, and dense fine particles extended out from the glove, covering the surface of the body in an instant, showing a beautiful pure white, but just halfway through, the refining gold stone shattered and failed to unfold.
"Simple hand armor can also provide blessings, and this initial form has a low energy consumption, but in order to exert its full power, the armor still has to be unfolded, but the method of making the golden stone is controlled by the craftsmen, and it is necessary to endure their bloodsucking for a long time."
"Nice blessings."
Not far away, the first mate is counting casualties, this raid, his own casualties of more than 40 people, about one-sixth of the combatants, but as long as the backbone and elite are not disabled, it is a big profit, after all, there are pirates and retired navies waiting to line up on the ship in ports everywhere.
Jiang Yuan and the staff of the logistics team arrived at the cabin, the dark space was crowded with people, the stench and the smell of decay fermented, this was a smuggled merchant ship, most of which were citizens who were trying to restart their lives in the colonies after the Great Famine in the Northern Region.
"Damn." Dudis saw the smugglers lining up and frowned, if it was a normal day, he could have turned back to the port fortress and sold the group to slave traders or factory owners to make a fortune, but the goal of this voyage was to attack the colony, and no one could afford to delay it for ten days back and forth.
