Chapter 25: The Night Battle (I)
Rodney stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the target not far away, but the other party's ship was still moving.
The weather was so good tonight that he felt like God was helping him, but unfortunately he didn't believe in God since he was expelled from the Order.
Rodney was not from a high background, and he entered the Knights with his own efforts step by step, but he didn't expect that his efforts were not worth a word from a second ancestor, and he had no future.
He hates!
But he didn't want to overthrow the aristocracy, he tried hard to become a person like the aristocracy, who could decide the fate of others at will, but unfortunately there was no such opportunity now.
But becoming a water bandit also partially fulfilled his wishes, and in this body of water, under his butcher's knife, the fate of all those who were robbed was in his hands. He is indeed a capable person, from one person, to three or five people, seven or eight guns, to more than 30 people now, and it took 5 years for a fast boat.
He especially likes people to tremble at his feet, especially those with higher status than him, at the beginning, he robbed unscrupulously, but since he was killed by a noble knight and dived to escape, he finally restrained a lot and began to act according to the default unspoken rules here.
At the same time, he also understood a truth, it is very necessary to learn water well.
Although the water bandits on Red's side have an inextricable relationship with the nobles, the two sides have no subordinate relationship, and the water bandits are also on guard against the nobles at the same time, and the deeper the contact with the nobles, the more they understand their dirt. So Rodney killed a nobleman, and he could have escaped here and mixed well. Now they are all beginning to accept the commissions of the nobles to do things for them.
After all, for the bandits, money is the most important thing, and the hatred of the nobles comes and goes quickly.
And this time, Rodney accepted this commission, also thinking about taking the opportunity to integrate these waves of other forces of bandits, thinking that he could occupy a place in the area of Red.
"Rodney, why is there no movement on the other side, there must be something wrong. A person next to Rodney came over and whispered, his clothes were much better than the others, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary bandit, and the tone of his conversation with Rodney should be the leader of another wave of bandits.
Rodney glanced at him coldly, and said in the same whisper: "It's just a merchant ship on the other side, they haven't been attacked for a long time, how can there be any vigilance at all, especially if the weather is good tonight, it's normal for them not to find out." ”
"But it's said that they have a mage on board. His tone was full of concern for the mage.
"It's just a mage apprentice, only in his 10s, what are hairless children afraid of. It will be there soon, let the brethren prepare, rush forward, kill not a piece of armor, leave no mouth alive. It's also a problem if the news leaks. ”
Although these water bandits wanted to take advantage of the night to attack, they felt that it was too smooth now, and they couldn't believe it.
However, it seems that their intelligence is not very good, and they don't know that Jia Yi is already an official mage. It's no wonder that the mage group is relatively closed, and Jiayi's promotion to becoming an official mage was not announced to the public at all, and no one saw him kill Kweifu, and he was later taken over by Jiayi. Unbeknownst to them, Kweif, who had received demonic powers, had surpassed ordinary knights, and that Kaichi had defeated him in a naked outfit. They had the impression that Kwefu was just a noble lord hollowed out by wine.
If they knew Jiayi's true strength, they might not dare to come over, and the nobles might not dare to make a move against Jiayi. It's just that Imu hasn't released this information to the public, and I don't know if I forgot it or what.
Side Rodney was getting his men to prepare, when he suddenly saw a man on the other deck come out, light something in his hand, and throw it towards the ship on his side.
Rodney was about to laugh at the other party, even if he could throw it so far, could he just want to set the ship on fire just because this thing was not as big as a torch. However, he didn't expect that the thing thrown from the other side actually came straight in front of him, and Rodney immediately drew his sword and was about to split the flying flaming object.
Seeing that it was about to be split, Rodney suddenly remembered that there was a mage on the other side, this thing could not be a spell released by a mage, although he had heard that knights above the Great Knight could use special techniques to split magic, but he didn't think he could. He hurriedly jumped to the side, dodging the flying object.
The thing that had been thrown fell on the deck, with a clattering sound, and shattered, and it was the Molotov cocktail, or Molotov cocktail, that Kaichi had made. Before Rodney could stand still, a lot of thick liquid popped out of the shattered Molotov cocktail, which ignited at the sight of the fire, and in an instant a large part of the deck was on fire. A few people next to him couldn't dodge, and they were also stained on their bodies, and the attached flames were like maggots on tarsal bones, which directly set the person on fire, and they couldn't be extinguished.
"Ahh However, although the fire on his body was extinguished, the person was almost gone.
At this time, it was dark, and these bandits could not see what was thrown at all, but they knew that it was very powerful, and it would explode when they touched it.
"This is ten things?"
"Extinguish the fire!"
"Help!"
After Jiayi's Molotov cocktail ignited the boat, the boat on the bandits' side was in a mess, and all kinds of shouts came out together, and the whole thing was in chaos.
Rodney shouted: "Rush over first, take the broadside, take the broadside!"
The water bandits' side was in a mess, but Jiayi's side was much more relaxed, and seeing that the Molotov cocktail had achieved such a big result, everyone's hearts instantly settled. In fact, the exploding Molotov cocktail did not ignite a few people at all, and although the boat was lit, as long as the other party reacted, it could be extinguished with water, which could not be compared with the genuine incendiary bomb.
However, the morale and deployment of the bandits were all disrupted.
Jia Yi saw that the other party had no rules, and shouted loudly: "Quick, release arrows, bid for guns, and throw anything that can be thrown over." ”
Hearing Jiayi's shout, the people who had long-range attack methods began to attack from a distance, and even the cook threw a salted fish over, but unfortunately the effect was average, because there were not many bows and arrows on the ship at all, and there were few javelins or anything.
It was the ejection technique that was used just now to shoot the Molotov cocktail over, so it was so accurate, and this was because the vision was not good at night, if he could see more clearly, Jia Yi would be able to accurately shoot his head. It's a pity that the things shot out by the catapult technique are not very powerful, otherwise Jia Yi would have cos' plans to "snap his fingers".
After the ignition was successful, the remaining boats of the bandits began to speed up, but they were all small boats, and their warships were in a panic and did not rush over.
Jia Yi saw that the opponent's warship had been set on fire, but it was not safe, if the other party rushed over regardless of it, it was still very threatening, and it was not difficult to extinguish the fire on the ship, in fact, it was not extinguished, and it was not something that could be done in an instant if you wanted to burn the ship directly. Taking advantage of the light of the fire on the opposite side, Kaichi took out another Molotov cocktail and lit it, and then shot at the sail on the mast of the opponent's warship.
Another precise blow, the Molotov cocktail hit the mast directly, and then set the opponent's mainsail on fire, and the lit sail burned the rope that tied the sail, and then was blown up by the wind, and then lit the nearby auxiliary sail.
At this time, the opponent's flagship basically lost its ability to maneuver.
