Chapter 109, Duel
Chapter 109, Duel
At great cost, the pirates used almost all their arrows and powerful magic arrows to break through the Vulcan's magical defenses. The pirates at the front of the www.biquge.info even slashed directly at the Vulcan with their scimitars and boarding axes, hastening the destruction of the defensive shield.
When the pirates' iron hooks hit the edge of the Vulcan, the brutal hand-to-hand combat officially began.
The Vulcan was first connected by hooks, and then some sturdy pirates climbed up the Vulcan along the cables, covering their companions to put up soft ladders and build pontoon bridges.
The pirates on the low ships climbed up the soft ladders, and the Lion Ship of the Ink Lion Sun Shaohai and the Vida of the Fire Rose Caterina were laid with planks from the higher part of the bow and stern (the bow and stern of the sailing ship was higher) as an improvised pontoon, and the two pirate ships each had hundreds of skilled thieves who flocked to the Vulcan.
For a while, Ren's huge giant Vulcan was also overwhelmed and sank!
Judging from the distribution of the forces of the two sides, Emperor Long led more than 40 Viking pirates in the sky, each of whom was one as ten; Sun Shaohai of the Moshi had nearly 1,000 brothers under him, and he was also a strong general; and the Fire Rose Caterina ship was crowded, and there were more than 3,000 pirates under his command. And on the Vulcan of the Persian Zoroastrianism, there are only more than 1,000 members of the sect.
In terms of numbers alone, the number of troops fighting on both sides was almost five to one.
However, in terms of the quality of individual soldiers, it is naturally that the Vulcan Zoroastrian cultists are much better. You must know that the Vulcan is loaded with the foundation of Zoroastrianism and the hope of survival, and the selected crew members must also be one in a hundred.
One side is numerically superior, and the other side is stronger in combat power, and the battle situation is in a stalemate.
The victory or defeat of the battle groups such as Gu Zhenren and Prince Nosferatu who made the first move has not yet been decided, and the battle situation in the sea has already been life and death. From time to time, pirates or Zoroastrians screamed and fell into the water, and the Vulcan was covered with blood, and the sea near Qilianyu was crimson.
Hand-to-hand combat, too, need to guard against flying axes and hidden arrows, the sound of killing shocks the sky, and the blood is also surging.
The war was really tragic, Ren Yan Huanglong Zaitian, Moshi Sun Shaohai, and Fire Rose Catalina have been crisscrossing the South China Sea for many years, and they have never encountered such an opponent who is not afraid of death. What about the Zoroastrian saint Ah Luo, it is also faintly heartbroken, the brothers in the sect have too many casualties, but there is no way to do it, the eternal fire and the large amount of materials on the Vulcan cannot be lost.
Today's encounter, the holy Maiden Ah Luo really didn't expect it. You know, pirates have always been very selfish, and Arlo still can't believe that the pirates will unite to calculate their Vulcan.
The Grim Reaper of War held the invisible scythe, frantically harvesting the lives of pirates and Zoroastrians, and finally made the holy woman Aro unbearable. Na Luo raised his hand and flicked it, and a ball of flame shot into the air, turning into dazzling fireworks and shooting out a dazzling light. The pirates and Zoroastrians who were fighting to the death couldn't help but close their eyes, and then naturally stopped fighting, and heard the holy Maiden Ah Luo shout loudly:
"I'm willing to fight you in a duel according to pirate tradition to decide the rise and fall of the Vulcan!
There is an ancient tradition among pirates that if a hijacked ship is willing to start a duel, they will set up a gangplank in the bow of the ship, and then the two sides will go head-to-head in turn, and everyone who walks on the gangplank will face the fate of either killing them all, or killing themselves, and their companions will avenge themselves.
If anyone is afraid, he can turn around and jump into the sea, no one will chase and kill the deserter, but the one who gives up the fight is no different from the dead, and even his family will ignore his existence from now on. Therefore, the first in line at the bow of the ship were usually the most elite warriors, who were shirtless in battle, with a rough roar, and unremittingly enjoyed the hearty battle without fear of death. They know that the springboard under their feet once shed the blood of their ancestors, and their descendants may also settle in the same place.
Zoroastrian saint Ah Luo's words instantly calmed the audience, is that a petite girl going to challenge the famous barbarians Long Zaitian, Moshi Sun Shaohai, and Fire Rose Katarina?
The barbarian Long Zaitian, the Moshi Sun Shaohai, and the Fire Rose Katarina looked at each other, and they all nodded slightly, as if they had reached some kind of consensus. The dragon raised the stone axe in his right hand and made a move back, and the Viking pirates who climbed on the Vulcan supported each other, grabbed the rope and slid down, returning to his own pirate ship, and in this battle, the Emperor lost seven or eight of his men.
Ink Lion Sun Shaohai and Fire Rose Katerina also gave a retreat signal and recruited their respective men, both of whom were killed or wounded. Everyone looked at the Vulcan again, their eyes were full of messes, corpses could be seen everywhere, only half of the Zoroastrian people remained, and all the living were wounded.
When the Zoroastrian saint Arlo saw that the pirates had withdrawn, she knew that several pirate leaders had promised to fight her in a duel to determine life and death, and she waved her hand, and the remaining Zoroastrian followers slowly retreated to her side. Miss Aluo sighed and said:
"There are enough dead and wounded today, Ah Luo really doesn't want to see anyone die for these belongings, but the eternal fire is the foundation of my Zoroastrianism, and Ah Luo has to fight. I just ask my friends, no matter what the outcome of the duel is, how about sparing everyone in my sect?"
Without thinking, the barbarian Emperor nodded and said:
"Since a man has been killed, we will not say the words of hypocrisy. We are pirates for the eternal fire and goods on your ship, and as for murder, it is a last resort. Don't worry, after this battle, I, Long Zaitian, can be regarded as seeing your Zoroastrian heroes. We will let the living go, and we will collect the bodies of the dead. ”
The Zoroastrian saint shook her head and said:
"Don't bother, Emperor, these dead brothers, I will send them to the arms of the Lord God. ”
After speaking, the girl stretched out her left hand, and a red flame floated in her palm, and she immediately twisted a wisp of flame in her right hand and flicked it into the sea, and the red fire actually burned the seawater, burning the bodies of the Zoroastrians in the sea to ashes, which could be regarded as returning them to the embrace of the god of fire. As for the bodies of the sect members on the ship, they were also thrown into the raging fire, and the fire sacrifice turned into ashes.
Strangely, the flames on the surface of the sea seemed to have spiritual sense, but they did not burn the corpses of ships and pirates at all. The faces of Emperor Long Zaitian and the others changed slightly, and they realized more and more the mystery of the eternal fire. Seeing the expressions of several people, the Zoroastrian saint Ah Luo naturally knew what they were thinking, so she spoke:
"I know what a few of you are thinking, I didn't dare to use the Eternal Flame when I started the war, for fear of angering you, that is the real jade burning. ”
