Chapter 430: The Battle Collapses
The terrible news brought by West made the pleasant atmosphere in the cabin freeze in an instant, and everyone at the table froze for a moment, and Anita, who had thought that what he had told about the Hellenfire chasing after him was a joke, actually knocked over the wine glass to the ground with a 'ping' sound, and the fine fruit wine, which was as red as blood, flowed freely to the stall.
"Good West, I give you the right to command the entire fleet as the heir to the Downton family," Van der Sar came back to his senses as the sound of the wine glass toppling over, and said solemnly, "I leave everything to you, Lord Guard." ”
"I won't disappoint you, Master Van der Sar. West nodded blankly, turned and strode out of the cabin.
As soon as he stood under the starry sky, he took a deep breath and shouted without a moment's delay: "I, the head of the Downton guard, West Holder, take over all the defense of the fleet in the name of Downton van der Sar, and command all personnel.
Here the first order was given, all the ships lowered their sails, the sailors left the side of the ship to prepare the oil, and the samurai stepped forward to defend themselves. The sound was deafening, deafening, and resounded throughout the sky, making a noticeable change in the turmoil on the deck of the fleet.
Seeing the sails begin to fall one by one from a distance, West met the sailors who retreated to the cabin, strode to the side of the ship's deputy, drew his waist scimitar and pushed away the flying throwing spear and asked loudly: "Arrans, how are the artillery preparations?"
"The ship of the Hellmen is too close to us to use its cannons, my lord," said the deputy leader of the Downton Guard, who looked as handsome as a beautiful girl, wielding a huge tower shield that was diametrically opposed to his appearance. He said in a low voice, "The samurai who kept vigil in the watchtower was too careless. ”
"There is no way to do this, so as the New Year approaches, the ferroids sail offshore to 'San Nianca' to participate in the expo event, and many trading houses do not even have samurai accompanying them.
It's good that we can keep that vigilant. West exonerated himself with a cold face, and then looked down at the three low, strangely shaped ships of Hell parked on the sea. The voice was cold and conceited: "Such a few small ships dare to attack our fleet, and uncivilized barbarians are barbarians.
I don't believe that their planks are also soaked in fireproof cement, and when the oil is ready, a fire will turn these savages to ashes. ”
Yalanshi on the side did not have the confidence of his boss, and hid behind the tower shield and said, "My lord." These Hell people have come to attack us in the seas of the continent. Now that they're only attacking with spears, I suspect that they have spirits on their ship, preparing powerful spells.
And their ships don't even have masts, I'm afraid there's something strange ...". He wasn't done yet. Suddenly, I saw a blue light emanating from the low ship of Hell on the sea.
In that blue light. A vague figure suddenly leaped into the air, its body elongated and widened in the moonlight, its feet clinging together. Turning into a fish's tail and falling into the sea, he swung his body towards a huge merchant ship in the fleet, and where it passed, the sea gradually became turbid, sticky, and slowly glued together, turning into a 'muddy road'.
Immediately afterwards, a wide secret door was opened on the decks of the three ships of Hell Sea, and countless natives riding huge spiders and armed with sharp spears poured out of the bilge, scrambling to drive their mounts to rush over the muddy paths of the sea, and rush towards the landers' ships.
"The Hellmen are led by spirits and have conjured up a path on the sea, be careful, they are riding, riding spiders and rushing here, be careful, everyone be careful...";
"The gods are above, those Hell people actually use the big hairy spiders as mounts, they are really demons, they can't let those spiders go on the ship, keep them under the ship, the oil is not ready...";
"Lord West, the guards on the Blue Crest alone can't stop so many Hell Warriors from attacking, we need reinforcements, we need reinforcements..."
The moat formed by the sea made it impossible for the rescue of the landers to form a scale, and by the light of the fire and the moonlight on the ship, he watched the native warriors skillfully kill the rebels on the deck one by one with spears and swords, cut off the heads of the enemies, and grinned on the spears, West's cold face was covered with a deep haze.
He muttered in his mouth, "Those Hellenmen are really led by spirits, and there are so many elite cavalry warriors, if I break out alone, it will be nothing, but if I want to keep all the merchant ships, it will be troublesome..."
"My lord, the Hell manpower that attacked us is very strong, and it is impossible to keep all the ships, even if there is a real loss, Master West will definitely understand. Yalanshi said with a solemn face.
"You're right," West came to his senses on the battlefield and looked at his deputy's appreciative expression, "You can always remind me when I'm not calm."
Listen, when the oil is ready, you will order for me to burn the ships of the Hellman, and I will see if I can find an opportunity to kill the fake merfolk, but instead of bringing joyful songs, I will spread the spirit of death. ”
Saying that, the leader of the Downton family's guards bent down and hid under the ship's gang, and after a few quick steps, he moved to the side of the ship on the other side of the flagship, poked his head out, and looked coldly at the fishtail spirits swimming in the water.
In his mind, it was impossible for the spider to stay in the water for a long time, as long as he killed the Hell Spirit, which could only turn the sea into land, and then burned the hellman's ship, it would be equivalent to trapping all the Hell Knights riding huge spiders on the Blue Crown, and even if other spirits appeared, it would not be terrible, and the worst case would be to sacrifice a ship.
But to West's surprise, just as he was waiting for the opportunity to deliver a chilling blow with all his might, an accident suddenly happened.
The native warrior who had two bright feathers stuck in his head and rode a huge spider and brandished a spear to take the lives of four or five land-man sailors one after another, seeing that there were more and more warriors of the same clan gathered on the deck, and it was not easy to perform, suddenly he laughed and roared, and his feet turned into the shape of tree rhizomes, and extended into the deck of the sea ship.
Suddenly, the wooden hull of the Blue Crest shook inexplicably, and the dead wood sprouted tender green buds everywhere like spring, and then countless branches and vines grew along the side of the deck of the merchant ship, intertwined and intertwined, spreading along the iron chain towards other sea vessels.
"Untie the chains, untie all the chains on the ship, and the ships will scatter..."Seeing this scene, West, who was hiding under the gang of the flagship ship, suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.
But in a hurry, the sailors on the ship could not neatly untie the thick iron ropes that connected the fleet, and could only let the branches generated by the spell cast by the Hellman connect the ships together.
Given more room to manoeuvre, the Warriors of Hell began to drive the huge spiders to run and scatter on the carpet-like branches, turning naval warfare into a land battle.
As the battlefield became vast, the difference between the ordinary and powerful warriors and the well-trained professional warriors who were good at fighting and fearless of death began to become more and more apparent.
Seeing that the situation had deteriorated rapidly in the blink of an eye, and the question had changed from how much damage would be caused to whether he could survive, West's always cold face showed uncontrollable anger.
With a roar, he galloped, the scimitar in his hand slashed lightly around his body at an unimaginable speed, bringing wind pressure to cut all the approaching Hell warriors and their mounts into two sections, and rushed towards the native on the Blue Crown, whose feet turned into branches of trees, and killed the spirit that changed the tide of battle first if he wanted to fight with serious injuries.
Unfortunately, before he could get close, he was firmly blocked by four Hellenites who had turned into monsters.
"Six spirits, those three hellfire ships actually hide six spirits that have transformed into hellpeople, Arranshi, burn those ships as soon as the oil is ready, so that no more accidents will occur..."The four powerful enemies whirled around for a while, and the head of the guard of the Downton family could not support it, and retreated and roared.
"Don't worry, my lord, I have poured the oil into the sea and am waiting to be lit. In the distance, the delicate features twisted together Arranshi, holding a tower shield in one hand and a flaming torch in the other, stared at the hundreds of white balls the size of an adult man's fist floating around on the sea.
When the white balls fluttered across the sea, he suddenly raised the torch in his hand and threw it at the ball closest to him.
Under the clever throwing, the flame at the top of the torch happened to smash on the white ball, and the moment the two touched, the ball made a crisp sound of 'pop', and suddenly exploded into a floating flame, scattering and igniting the surrounding white balls one by one.
After a continuous sound of crisp sounds, thousands of bursting and floating flames joined together and turned into a sea of scorching fire, enveloping the hellman's ship in mere form.
However, for a steamship made of special black iron, this level of flame could not cause the slightest damage, and the only change was that the hull was stained with long-lasting flames, which seemed more dangerous and terrifying.
"Their ship, their ship is iron, it's iron" leaping through the air to avoid the Hellspirits, West looked out to sea despite the danger, but what he saw made him desperate and horrified.
At this moment, the raging sea of fire in front of the ship of Hell suddenly parted, and in the midst of the fire and iron, a huge blood-red eye rose out. (To be continued......)
