Chapter 157: The Bad Student's Disguise
In contrast to the chaos of the overall deck, in the corners of Richard and Gro, it is rare to be at ease. As Nancy had ordered, the two of them were tasked with defending a small area on the flanks to prevent pirates from sneaking up.
However, most of the pirates climbed up from elsewhere on deck, and the area was defended by no enemies.
But that doesn't mean he's really out of the way, and as soon as Richard wondered if he was doing something, he heard a sound of breaking the air behind him. Turning quickly, he saw a pirate aboard a huge ship, holding two iron axes, throwing one of them.
Richard raised his eyebrows, and when the iron axe saw the body hit, he quickly stretched out his hand, and with a "snap", he accurately grabbed the handle of the iron axe.
The Iron Axe Pirate was stunned for a moment, then his eyes glared, "Boy, give me back the axe!" he shouted, swinging his only axe and rushing over.
Only then did Gro turn around, react to something, and hurriedly said beside him: "Your Excellency Richard, you ...... You be careful. ”
"Hmm. Richard said, with an arrow step, holding an iron axe, and met the attacking pirates with a blank face.
With a "bang", the two iron axes collided hard in mid-air.
The pirate glared, looking at the iron axes that collided together, a little surprised by Richard's strength, but the next moment he gritted his teeth and wanted to overpower Richard.
However, as soon as he burst into strength, he felt a piercing pain in his heart, and when he looked down, he saw that Richard's other hand was holding a scalpel, which pierced his heart through the gap between his third and fourth ribs.
"Goo...... Gollum ...... blood poured quickly from the pirate's mouth and wounds, and the pirate's eyes showed a look of horror.
Richard was not sympathetic, and as soon as he drew the scalpel, as if draining all the life force of the pirate, the pirate fell to the deck with a "thud", and the iron axe in his hand fell with it - he did not find the lost axe, and lost another one.
Richard bent down, picked up the axe on the deck and threw it to Groh behind him, and said in a loud voice, "Follow me, be careful." ”
"Good. Gro nodded hurriedly, quickly following.
Richard took Gro with him, axe in one hand and scalpel in the other, and walked towards the rest of the deck where the battle was taking place, and the thought flashed through his mind.
Although he has decided to hide his strength and be a bad student, he also said that this does not mean that he really deliberately behaves extremely badly. In fact, while ensuring the identity of poor students, it is a kind of protection to show some ability within a reasonable degree.
After all, a poor student who lacks talent does not mean that he does not have other abilities, such as combat skills, such as combat command, etc., and if he wants to learn these from a noble background, he can always learn them. It is easier to show more ability, and it is easier to explain some situations later.
Otherwise, if you are a good-for-nothing bad student, even if you do the slightest thing that violates common sense, it will be easy to arouse the doubts of others.
This can be regarded as using the ability of one side to cover the ability of the other.
With that in mind, Richard had joined a skirmish, striking quickly and then resolving it quickly.
After solving one place, Richard quickly walked to another place, constantly helping to solve the battle. In this, Richard often did not kill the enemy's people, but was a supporter, helping the original combatants to win.
Moreover, the battles that Richard chose to join were always in places that seemed inconspicuous, but would affect the entire deck battle situation. Like some narrow aisles, like some commanding heights near some watchtowers......
If Nancy plays the role of a brave general who takes the lead, he strives to bring out the fighting power of the people in order to defeat the pirates who are far fewer than the others.
That Richard is more like a black hand who quietly controls the situation, it doesn't seem to play a big role, and in fact he doesn't kill many people, but he always reaches the critical moment of the battle, reaching out and pushing to change the result. Like an ant on the scales, a little weight can be used to determine which side the victory is tilting towards. Again and again, it eventually evolved into an advantage on the student's side.
The situation on the deck was controlled little by little.
Nancy, who was directing the firefighting team to support everywhere, frowned, slightly confused, and felt that the situation on deck was twisting at a much better rate than she had expected.
Did she underestimate her own commanding ability, or underestimate the courage of the rest?
After thinking about it for a long time, Nancy was not sure, and finally led the team to rush to one place and start a frontal battle with the pirates.
Meanwhile, Richard was stopped by a red-eyed pirate.
Looking at the red-eyed pirate who stopped in front of him, Richard was expressionless, but Gro was extremely nervous. Although he followed Richard all the way and mended several pirates, he still did not eliminate his fear, and couldn't help but say: "Your Excellency Richard, be ...... Watch out. ”
"I will. Richard said, his eyes fell on the red-eyed pirate's body, and he clearly saw that the other party's body was covered with various scars, and blood was constantly seeping outward, but the other party didn't care at all.
"Is it fearless?" Richard guessed, "or is it ...... Loss of pain?"
"Die!" the red-eyed pirate roared and rushed forward with a scimitar.
"If you lose your pain, it's easier. Richard thought to himself, watching the red-eyed pirate slash at him, calmly leaning his body, quickly dodging, and then holding a scalpel to slash the back of the opponent's left arm, blood gushing out quickly.
The red-eyed pirate's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he didn't feel much pain, turned around, and slashed at Richard again.
Richard didn't fight against the opponent at all, dodged again, and by the way, he swiped the inside of the opponent's right arm, and blood gushed out happily.
The red-eyed pirate's body shook, his expression did not change, and he rushed towards Richard again, Richard dodged for the third time, and slashed the inside of the opponent's thigh, blood gushing out wildly.
The other man stopped, and continued to roar in his mouth, preparing to attack Richard for the fourth time.
But...... There's no fourth.
"Bang", the red-eyed pirate suddenly fell, and at some point, the blood that flowed from his body had already soaked his whole body red.
In the dodge just now, Richard cut the opponent's three main arteries - the left deep brachial artery in the back of the left arm, the right brachial artery in the right arm, and the right femoral artery in the inner thigh, and the blood released was more than half of the opponent's body, even if the opponent was powerful, he couldn't withstand it, after all, the opponent couldn't fight with bones, it wasn't a person at all, it was a skeleton soldier.
Of course, Richard chose to cut the common carotid artery in the opponent's neck and end the fight faster. But after all, the neck belongs to the place where the human body is most defended, and it may arouse the vigilance of the other party, so it is better to quietly bleed the other party to death like this, which is the best way to deal with people who are not sensitive to pain.
The loss of pain makes pirates more fearless, but also more vulnerable.
Richard shook his head as the red-eyed pirate fell to the ground, unconscious in shock and convulsed, and looked back at the rest of the deck.
