Chapter 158: The Pirate's Decisive Attack
Little by little, the situation on the deck fell to the side of the students, and the pirates were besieged and killed one by one, the corpses were thrown off the deck, and the sea was stained red. Even the ferocious, painless red-eyed pirates were killed for the most part, and only a few were still holding on.
On the deck of the pirate ship, the captain of the pirate ship looked at it, his expression was extremely ugly, and he said to himself in a half-loud voice: "I actually lost my eyes." β
"Captain......" One-Eye, next to the pirate captain, suggested in a wise whisper, "or ...... Withdraw ......"
"Withdraw...... "The pirate captain said as well, and he had to withdraw. He bowed his head and took out a whistle from his bosom and sent it to his mouth, and was about to blow it, when suddenly there was a "bang", and a column of water several meters high burst out on the sea, and a man in a black robe stood on the column of water and appeared in front of the pirate captain and One-Eye.
The pirate captain was startled, and subconsciously wanted to touch the long sword at his waist, but after thinking about it, he let go.
"You're smart. The black-robed wizard smiled at the pirate captain, "It's not like him, he's going to die." β
The pirate captain followed the direction pointed by the black-robed wizard and looked at the one-eyed beside him, and saw that the one-eye was flickering, and a hand was reaching into his arms to pick something out. With a "boom", an invisible force erupted, piercing the center of One-eye's eyebrows, and One-Eye instantly turned into a dead corpse and fell straight on the deck.
With a "poof", the pirate captain knelt down very familiarly, and looked at the black-robed wizard tremblingly, "I...... I didn't know that the giant wheel was yours, my lord, I ...... I'll let my men retreat, I'll ......."
"Nope. The black-robed wizard looked at the pirate captain, shook his head, and said, "The giant ship is not mine, it is my enemy." β
"Huh?"
"You give orders for all your men to attack. If you can attack the giant ship, you can live, otherwise...... You'll end up the same as the person next to you. β
"This!" the pirate captain was shocked, but did not dare to resist, and hurriedly blew the whistle with his characteristic rhythm, giving a death order for all his men to attack.
After doing all this, the pirate captain looked at the black-robed wizard in fear: "My lord, you see ......"
"You're doing a great job. The black-robed wizard nodded, "I should give you a reward." β
"Reward?" the pirate captain was stunned.
The black-robed wizard stretched out a hand, then spread it out, his palm empty.
"This is ......," the pirate captain wondered.
The next moment, the air in the palm of the black-robed wizard's hand surged, condensing into an air arrow, which directly pierced the pirate captain's eyebrows.
The pirate captain shook his body and fell straight on the deck like the one-eyed one eye before.
The black-robed wizard turned his head to look at the giant wheel, his eyes flickering.
......
On the deck of the giant ship, everyone finally saw the hope of victory, but suddenly, more pirates frantically climbed onto the deck and launched an attack.
The pirates heard the captain's whistle command, and it was a decisive attack - take down the target or kill them all. Generally speaking, this kind of order is not easily given by the captain, but once it is given, it is necessary to do it with all his might. This must be something that the captain has discovered, so once the giant ship is taken, there will be a huge gain.
Driven by the captain's majesty and imaginary interests, the pirates form a new offensive and attack the students on deck. All of a sudden, the students were caught off guard and retreated. While pirate casualties are mounting, so are student casualties.
Richard helped one of the Hook pirates kill one of them, and his brow furrowed as he turned to look at the frontal battlefield on deck.
Obviously looking like victory is about to be won, why did it suddenly turn around again? Is this artificially increasing the difficulty?
Richard's eyebrows couldn't help but rise.
From the beginning, Richard had some guesses. The appearance of pirates and the disappearance of wizards connecting apprentices are definitely not accidental, they should be deliberately set up. The pirate attack is likely to be a clichΓ© test of the students by wizards.
Does this test really work, and can it test anything?
Richard has a negative attitude, and really doesn't think that this kind of test can have the effect of testing the whole body, at most it just makes a few people who are already more prominent more eye-catching, such as Nancy.
In addition, it may be a reduction in the number of students.
Could it be that the number of students enrolled exceeds expectations, and the preparation is artificially reduced?
It's a good idea to pretend to be pirates, but pirates don't always have to be completely controlled.
Pirates generally have two major characteristics - ferocity and cunning, and in comparison, cunning should precede ferociousness. After all, only smart pirates can live longer.
In the face of the giant ship, the pirates may initially want to make a big move, but after the attack is frustrated, as long as the pirate captain is not stupid, then he will choose to retreat. After all, robbery is a matter of bullying the weak and avoiding the hard, rather than hitting the hard.
Choosing to be hard-hitting, it is naturally very hot-blooded, and it is natural to grab a lot of loot, but what follows is the rapid consumption of pirates, especially the consumption of some elite pirates, which is deadly.
The prestige of the pirate captain is supported by a team of elite pirates, and if these team losses are too serious, the rest of the pirates will inevitably have some other ideas in the face of a large number of loot.
When you are a pirate, few of them really talk about loyalty, and more of them are open-minded about money. The exaggerated casualty rate will also increase the pirate's resentment to a certain extent, unless the situation is really unique, otherwise as soon as the medieval pirate loses a predetermined cordon, the captain will order a retreat, save strength and then look for the next prey.
And the current situation is clearly contrary to common sense.
Is the pirate captain crazy? Or is it ...... The wizard of the test took action, through artificial interference, to make this test more difficult?
Richard pondered, his eyes narrowed, and he walked towards the battlefield with a scalpel in one hand and an iron axe in the other.
No matter what the hell it is, the battle still has to be fought, and if it is really a wizard's test, then after the battle is over, the other party should show up, and then ...... Conduct a critical education?
Scold!
......
"Bang bang bang!"
The battle on the deck intensified, and Nancy led three firefighting teams to desperately support in various places.
After killing a red-eyed pirate and several ordinary pirates, Nancy swept the deck with her eyes, pointed into the distance at Tyson, who was the leader of the squad, and commanded, "Tyson, you bring someone to support that side, and I'll go support there." β
The location where Nancy had Tyson support was where Richard was.
Tyson looked in the direction Nancy pointed, his pupils shrank uncontrollably, he had seen Richard, and he didn't know whether to be afraid or revenge, so he led the team and ran directly to Nancy to say where she wanted to support.
Nancy was stunned, her eyebrows furrowed, and she was very angry. But there is nothing to be done about Tyson's blatant defiance of orders. After all, theoretically, she did not have the right to order Tyson.
Seeing Tyson leave with someone, Nancy gritted her teeth slightly, and rushed to Richard with the rest of the people around her helplessly.
