Chapter Eighty-Three: Is a Bayonet Such an Inconvenience?
Downwind side.
Several pirate ships on the Wanmin side disbanded the battle line, slammed the steering wheel, and the wind rushed towards the [Nemesis] that could no longer run away due to the speed of the ship.
They did not launch any more shelling.
Because now that the people of the bay have an absolute superiority in combat power, the priority is no longer to defeat the enemy, but to never let go of the immortal redbeard in the chaos.
If they couldn't bury this monster with their own hands, they wouldn't even be able to sleep.
Merely.
At this time, Redbeard, who seemed to have betrayed his relatives, did not sit still.
He knew he had one last chance to turn the tables around.
Holding the steering wheel himself, the [Nemesis], which had suffered heavy losses from the crew, turned sharply.
Dragging many of the heroic souls of the bay people who had already rushed onto the ship from the upwind side, they took the initiative to collide with the [Flame Rose], which was one size smaller.
"Damn woman, I'm going to break your neck!"
The contestants are just fighting each other, and don't forget that it's still the time of the "Treasure Hunt".
As long as one of the two candidates dies and loses, the other team can successfully exit Valhalla, even if they don't find the "Great Secret Treasure".
At least it can save his life from the place of death.
In the era of the Clarke-type galleon, naval battles were also called: siege warfare at sea.
Compared with the fourth-class ships, the bulwarks of the third-class ships are taller, just like the towering city walls, and the condescending broadside does occupy a certain advantage.
"Musketeers, fire!"
Thick smoke rose suddenly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After the two crews exchanged muskets, the torrent of bright blades slammed together.
After a fierce naval battle, Redbeard's 680 crew members lost about a third, compared to Violet's 350 men.
Redbeard jumped aboard the Flaming Rose, relying on his immortality to ignore the attacks of the ordinary crew.
Lead the most elite captain's guard and go straight to Violet on the back deck.
With a roar, he shouted out the pirate's sequence proverbs:
"Strength is better than hard work!"
A visible spiritual glow erupted, unfurling a translucent blood-colored pirate flag above his head.
The emblem on the top is clearly legible, it is the banner of the [Nemesis]!
The battle flag waved in the wind, shedding a blood-colored aura that enveloped each of the elite pirates around Redbeard, holding them together in a tight binding.
In an instant, the team that had formed a triangle became an unbreakable whole.
In particular, the red beard, which is used as an arrow, has a particularly thick blood light on his body.
Wielding a heavy scimitar the size of a crescent moon, it rampaged like a mad rhinoceros, and no one could stop it.
The [Pirate] of the Lighthouse Sequence, the three abilities obtained at the first-order squire level are: [Weapon Mastery], [Rock Sheep Footsteps], and [Blind Fighting Expert].
By the time they reached the second-order professional rank, they at least served as pirate officers, and more had their own pirate ships and became captains.
Of all the current sequences, the Corsair, which represents the lighthouse sequence, is undoubtedly the one that attaches the most importance to teamwork.
Therefore, the core ability they gain is called [Pirate Battle Banner]:
"It is possible to concentrate the spirituality of the pirates under the same pirate Ten Commandments, and the pirates under their own commandment.
The more strictly the crew strictly adheres to the Ten Commandments, the more tacit cooperation they have, and the stronger their own strength, the stronger the increase the captain will eventually receive.
The upper limit at the second order is 10, and the upper limit at the third order will be increased to 100 people, and the strength of everyone will be used by me.
In group battles, only those knight chiefs have the ability to overpower them. ”
Violet didn't care about the distress and suddenly passively turned into the [Flame Rose] of the main battlefield, and immediately ordered all the surrounding crew members to dodge away and not die in vain.
He patted the traveler's bag on his waist and took out two strangely shaped three-barreled muskets, one black and one white.
[Pirate Battle Flag] is a stack of manpower, and it is indeed difficult to meet opponents on the same track.
But the biggest difference between humans and animals is that they use tools.
Rumble! Rumble!
Aiming at Redbeard is two shots.
The thing looked like a gun, but the roar was like a shelling, and it only took two shots to pierce the blood-colored aura on Redbeard's body.
Even if he swung his knife in time and cleared most of the steel balls, he was knocked back two steps, leaving five or six more bullet holes in his body.
Strange Musket [Organ, Black & White Key]:
"Crafted by Violet using the core competence of a third-order craftsman, 'Alchemy', inspired by the 'King of Musical Instruments' pipe organ.
Although not as exaggerated as hundreds of pipes, both guns also had three barrels each, one black and one white, like the black and white keys of an organ.
With a barrel length of 470 mm and a weight of 3.72 kg (8.2 lb), it fires a shotgun made up of tiny steel balls with an effective range of 60 meters, killing a mad brown bear with a single shot.
You can choose a single shot or a three-pronged shot, and the power is amazing. ”
There are many branches of the [Craftsman] in the tower sequence.
Hans the Carpenter, the Carpenter, wanted to specialize in the Shipwright, while Violet specialized in all kinds of gunpowder and thermal weapons, and could be called the Gunsmith.
Carry a mobile arsenal with you.
"Damn it, take your life!"
Redbeard saw that the people around him were rushing to help, and his time was running out.
Immediately broke away from his captain's guard, his feet slammed to the ground, and the tremendous force that almost trampled the deck exploded.
Like a shooting star, he lunged at Violet.
"Light as a swallow!"
Violet's melee abilities weren't worth mentioning, but her equipment was luxurious enough to spit out a cut inscription.
The [Strange Boots: Petrel Wings] on her feet grew two pairs of small wings, allowing her to fly backwards like a petrel with extreme dexterity.
The crisscrossing of the sail lines, the guns on the open deck, and the powder kegs did not hinder her.
At the same time, do not forget to shoot at Redbeard one after another.
The lines of fire are intertwined, dancing and dancing.
Violet is a top student at the Venaya Academy of Arts and a classical dancer, and the thrilling battle has been turned into a lavish ball.
Purple aura burst out on his body.
The third-order core ability [Alchemy] allowed her to easily control the warship under her feet to change its material form, delaying Redbeard's footsteps.
The ropes tied to the boom hung like snakes, the rivets on the deck jumped on their own, and even a barrel of rum staggered over and punched him
The aura and flesh on Redbeard's body were constantly shattered, but he continued to advance without flinching.
In the face of such an enemy who cannot be killed no matter what, it is simply desperate.
But if the Wanmin side gains such a big advantage in the early stage, it can still make this guy turn the tables, it is better to commit suicide by jumping into the sea together.
There are only a dozen seconds before and after.
The captain of the Nagawind was the first to arrive.
Like Redbeard, he is also a third-order pirate in the lighthouse sequence, and he also opened his [Pirate Battle Flag].
Clang!
With a scimitar in hand, he pounced on Redbeard like a whirlwind, knocking him back half a step with a single sword.
Violet also took the opportunity to reload her ammunition and read out the cutting inscription of the [black and white key], which is also the name of a piano song: "Pathos Sonata!" ”
The two-gun and three-barrel crit of the organ exploded a bloody hole in Redbeard's chest.
Seeing that the battle situation was unsustainable, the figures of the other four big pirates, regardless of the difficulty of approaching the battleship, dragged a cable and leaped through several ships with the help of force, and quickly approached.
I finally realized that I was really gone.
Looking back at the [Nemesis] behind him, he had already been overwhelmed by the heroic spirits of the Wanmin who were several times his size, and there were few remnants of resistance.
"No, I have to run.
I still have an immortal body, and as long as they can't catch me, sooner or later they will find a way to end the 'treasure hunt' on their own."
At that time, I will definitely be able to take the opportunity to escape with me.
As long as I live, the ship can be rebuilt, the sailors can be rerecruited, and one day I will be able to make a comeback.
Immortality is my greatest dependence, and they can't stop me at all! ”
Redbeard is more afraid of death than ordinary people.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to learn the costly black magic of [Hidden Soul Box].
Thinking of this, Redbeard unleashed a body-damaging burst [Boiling Blood] and forced back the siege of the two pirates.
Abandoning the first mate [Jackal Badger] Harvey and the captain's guard, the blood-colored aura under his feet exploded, borrowing strength on the bulwark and mast.
The last [Rock Sheep Foot] jumped back onto the tall stern of the Nemesis.
It is necessary to continue to jump into the big waves on the north side without stopping.
Bounded by a third-class ship, the downwind is the ship of the Bay Folk and the Great Pirates, and the upwind is crowded with the old antiques of those heroic spirits.
Jump from here, and once you're in the water, no one will ever find him again.
But at this moment.
An anxious voice sounded in his ears:
"Here, Captain!
The Nemesis is finished, come to my ship, let's retreat. ”
As soon as Redbeard turned his head, he saw that Bill, his most loyal executioner, had re-recruited the [Golden Deer], which was as fast as an arrow.
Killed from the upwind side that had been occupied by the coffin of the bay people.
He was standing on the back deck and waving to himself.
Redbeard, who was already determined to escape by jumping into the water, was overjoyed.
He had seen with his own eyes how swift the ship was, and as long as he boarded it, it would not be easy to escape from the encirclement of the bay people.
Although he is immortal, if he falls into the deep sea where the storm is about to come.
Soon will experience the hell death package of drowning, resurrection, drowning, resurrection, why die if you can live?
Redbeard exerted force under his feet and jumped high from the stern towards the [Golden Deer].
When I was in mid-air, I finally breathed a deep sigh of relief in my heart:
"At this critical juncture of life and death, other people have long since run away.
Bill could even think of running with me, the captain, and sure enough, loyalty comes first.
It just so happens that the first mate Harvey is gone, and when I requisition the Clippers from Bill, I will arrange for him to be my first mate in the future.
Well? He's doing this."
However, I saw that the 32-pounder main ship gun on the aft deck of the [Golden Deer] was raised by two gunners with a crowbar under the command of "Bill".
Just when Redbeard's leap reached its highest point.
"Bill" maintained the same respectful smile on his face as ever, but he firmly pointed the flint in his hand on the medicine pool of the Caron cannon.
Redbeard's eyes widened out in disbelief.
"No, no, no"
Boom——!
What's worse is that.
At the moment when Byron opened fire, [Phantom Blade] Gus also blindfolded and spun around twice, shooting a flying knife at his beloved captain!
