Chapter 884: Pirates are actually a high-risk industry
A white swan scratching its head not only did not run away, but turned its head to the side and became a menacing bald eagle, and pounced on the spot. For ordinary people, this kind of development may still be quite scary. But fortunately, this group of pirates has been in the world for a long time, and they can be regarded as well-informed, at least in the field of crime, and they have not encountered this kind of pretending to be pigs and eating tigers. So, after the initial consternation was over, he reacted quickly. Instead of being frightened, the pirates inexplicably ignited a raging fighting spirit.
"Oh oh oh, what a fierce pretty lady, I love this one! It's the smell when you it! β
"Fight! Wow ha, let's fight, bastards, let the mommy babies of the **** big man of Neosfia see what a man on the sea is! β
"My tomahawk is already hungry and thirsty!"
"My spear is hungrier than your tomahawk!"
"Nonsense! Your big gun has already been cut off by the syphilis chick from last time! β
Yes, in the eyes of the pirates, this is just a white and tender boat, harmless to people and animals, like a beautiful little girl, more than half smaller than the Black Jasmine under their feet. The blue paint wrapped in the outer layer does feel very elegant, very beautiful, very clean, and also very heroic, but there is no sense of oppression that belongs to the warriors. There were no gun doors to be seen on the ship's side, not even a mast on the deck. Such a cute "boat" like the daughter of an aristocratic family, even if it is full of armed warriors, how many people can it hide? Yes. If a large merchant ship or transport ship were to take such a head-on posture, the pirates might really wonder if it was a trap; But now...... I have never heard of a big man who would take such a luxurious private yacht out as bait for fishing. If the big people in the dominant position have this kind of consciousness that they are reluctant to give up their wives, they will not be able to catch the hooligans. The world has long been at peace.
Yes, veteran pirates are rude, cruel, realistic, philistine, and greedy. But it also has a cunning survival wisdom. However, even the most cunning pirates are often misled by their own common sense when judging problems.
"Wha! Little ones! The little masters want to resist! Let's teach them that reality is not their knight game! The captain drew his command knife: "Rush forward!" Show your courage, temporarily show the demeanor of the sea boys, and teach the group of flowers and bones that grow in the garden, what is the real world! β
The pirates who had just returned to the boiling blood of the beast were suddenly silent, looking at each other, and all looked at their captain with an inexplicable gaze. A confused look of "what did you just say".
The first mate sighed, kicked the captain quietly, and walked in front of everyone: "Kill all!" Grab the light! the light! Which one dares to coward! The old lady will kick his balls! β
"Whoa, whoa!" Only then did the pirates get excited, and they erupted into a burning boiling boil that was even more beastly than just now, and they all brandished all kinds of weapons and shouted loudly, like a group of primitive tribes who had just captured a wild boar and started to revel.
"Boom!" "Boom!" The two colossi erupted almost at the same moment. The Black Jasmine's gunners had fired two ballistas facing the strange ship without waiting for the captain's order. After all, they are pirates, and they can't really do what they do. Of course, Mr. Captain did not express any dissatisfaction. He thinks that no matter what field you are in, excellent people should have their own judgment, decisiveness, and ultimate action, and if they wait for the orders of their superiors to act, it is a job that even goblins can complete.
If nothing else. These two heavy bolts, capable of piercing through the walls, should have pierced through the weak hull, completely incapacitating it. Of course, the rope attached to the tail of the bolt can also create two rope bridges between the Black Jasmine and the other party. His younger brothers would be able to climb over and capture the ship, whether it was a naval pirate or a merchant ship's escort, who could climb ropes as if they were walking on the ground. Otherwise, there are no qualified crews and sailors at all.
But immediately after, there was no cracking sound of the planks exploding and the screams of the opposing personnel in fright. The blue-blue hull suddenly shone through a curtain of light as gentle and moist as moonlight. In a flash, the heavy and sharp crossbow bolt seemed to hit the stone of the iron plate, but the volley made a "dang long" sound, and it was bounced out of direction and fell into the water.
Once again, the silence befell the Black Jasmine, and the pirates seemed to have been enchanted, and for a moment they could not even say a word.
Thankfully, the silence was quickly broken so that the pirates wouldn't be even more embarrassed. They only felt a sudden "click" sound behind them, and when they looked back, they found that the main mast of the ship had a huge crack at some point, and it continued to expand. It was as if an invisible person was cutting it with a saw that was invisible to the naked eye.
The mast finally could not withstand such damage, and completely broke in the middle, and fell headlong with the sail and slammed the deck. The deck was smashed open, and several unlucky people were directly crushed under the mast, and they were not alive on the spot.
This kind of unfolding is indeed faster than most pirates' brains. Even if their companions were crushed to death by their own suddenly broken mast, they didn't have time to react at the first time, and some even vaguely wondered if it would be some kind of natural disaster.
"Magic! There's a magician on that ship! So, when the most knowledgeable and responsive of the captains uttered a scream like that of a herbivore meeting a predator, there were even pirates who were stupidly ready to go over and raise the mast.
At this time, a large red fireball roared like this. It didn't come straight to the front of the hull, but as if it had a life, it turned a corner on the spot and went around the stern of the Black Jasmine. Then it hit it with a "bang".
The pirates originally wanted to destroy the opponent's mast and steering wheel with their ballistas to prevent them from escaping, however. In less than a minute before the two ships were in the first place, they lost their masts and steering wheels in succession.
"This is the rhythm of killing everything!" The captain seemed to have lost his soul. There was no focus between his eyes, and he only knew that he repeated his own words: "I knew they wouldn't let me go, they wouldn't let me go." I know so much...... It's really too much, it's too much...... But I really don't want to know anything! Goddess, save your people, I am innocent. β
If the captain's bar has become a soulless repeater, Miss Scout only knows how to flapp her wings and scurry across the bridge, like a frightened hen: "Whoa, what a trap." What a trap! However, all I saw on the boat were servants, scantily clad street girls, and luxurious meals! No, no, no, it doesn't look like it's dangerous! β
"Chances are any of those maids and prostitutes in the mage's disguise! You idiot! First mate Miss Fantine kicked the wingwoman in anger, not only because the other party was running around like a frightened quail, which was very demoralizing, but more importantly, she couldn't calm herself down immediately if she didn't do so.
"If only one or two magicians were hiding in the crowd, that would be fine...... No matter how powerful an existence is, as long as it is alone, it is always possible to find a flaw. "It has to be said. The thinking of this barely battle-hardened pirate lady is quite reasonable, but it's actually quite taken for granted. In this world, there are naturally extraordinary powerhouses who can single-handedly destroy their Black Jasmine and the hundred and ten people on the ship ten or twenty times, but this kind of big man with powerful power is out of reach. In the minds of ordinary pirates, it is as if it were a myth. Miss Fantine didn't subconsciously think that she would be so unlucky, or that she would be so "lucky" to run into such a legendary figureβjust as the legendary bank robbers would never have expected that the day they would be paid by the FBI.
Yes. Even a capable bandit like Miss Fantine is not absolutely and completely out of hope at this time. She looked helplessly at the captain who had begun to crouch again. He let out a long sigh and took half a second to lament that his future career was really promising. Only then did he draw his family heirloom sword.
"What is a magician? It's not like we haven't killed a magician! Drop the paddle and rush forward! β
Yes, since you are a professional pirate, you naturally have to have a plan for any crisis. The Black Jasmine was originally a postal ship, but it was remodeled by the pirates, and the outer cabin on the second floor was converted into a paddle room, equipped with a window that could be closed, whether it was fighting or escaping, the window could be opened, and dozens of long oars were stretched out to increase the speed of the ship's propulsion. In addition, if the sails and masts are damaged, with these oars and oarsmen, the whole ship will not completely lose its mobility and wait for death.
In addition, the bow of the Black Jasmine also has a ramming angle in the shape of a crow's beak, which can not only destroy the hull of the opponent if it is successfully impacted, but also lock the hull tightly with the crow's beak-shaped barb. At that point, the ramming horn will also become a bridge, and the sailors can directly wave their weapons and rush to the opponent's deck, turning naval combat into land combat.
Of course, this method of playing was learned from the Phytney people on the continent of Sothness, that is, on the southern shore of the Chenhai Sea, and the Phyllney Navy was also the first in the world to use this kind of crow-shaped ramming, and it was very victorious.
It was evident that the prestige of the first mate on the ship was clearly higher than that of the captain, and the pirates quickly replied to her shouting. Although they lost their rudders and masts in a single spotlight, after all, they did not die a few people, and they did not lose their fighting spirit immediately. A number of able-bodied sailors had rushed into the paddle room, opened the hatches, and pushed the oars with all their might, while many more crowded the deck, brandishing all sorts of blades, shouting and shouting at the boat opposite.
We all know that in a short burst of time, well-trained oarsmen will give the boat a boat book that is even more than downwind, which is also the biggest basis for ramming tactics. What's more, the Black Jasmine itself was more than half the size of the other party's ship, and at a glance, it looked like a vicious hungry wolf pounced on a harmless little sheep...... Belch. In other words, it should be that the hungry wolf and the little sheep both pounced on each other at the same time. It seems that everyone takes the other as a matter of course.
Of course, consider it based on your own common sense. The first mate has no doubt that the car under her feet can directly cut off the extremely arrogant "small boat".
It's a pity, but it's a beautiful ship. If you can grab it in good condition, you should be able to sell it for a lot of money, right? The first mate thought to himself.
However, it doesn't matter if you can catch that magician! All magicians are wealthy, definitely richer than the vast majority of merchants. Miss Pirate judged. Although her idea is somewhat absolute, it is not unreasonable.
"Click!" With a loud bang, Miss Pirate staggered, as if there had been an earthquake under her feet. almost made her such an "old catcher" unable to stand on her feet.
This sound is by no means the sound of a horn hole piercing the hull of a ship. This thought flashed through Miss Fantine's heart, and she only felt that her heart sank directly, and she couldn't even breathe. She watched as the Black Jasmine's metal ramming angle completely lost its ability to move forward a few meters away from the other party's hull, as if it had crashed into an invisible city wall, and directly deflated it with a strange movement visible to the naked eye, sparks splashing everywhere.
"Smack! Bang! The blinding arc of light, flashing with a white light that was almost impossible to look at, jumped over the deck, and most of the crew members standing densely packed on the deck fell to the ground on the spot. The first mate also stood far away. But he also felt that his wrist was numb, and the family heirloom sword was hung on the deck with a clang.
It was hard for her to tell how many people had died on the spot under the arc of the blow, only to see her own boatswain, who had a very brutal appearance, just against the endless arc of electricity that was entwined around his body. Gritting his teeth, he lifted the double-edged battle axe with a blade as big as an ordinary person's head, and roared twice. Although he is a teaseful and sycophant, he has orc blood after all. Occasionally, when the ferocity rises, he is still very brave.
The boatswain let out a frantic howl of pain and rage, and threw his tomahawk out with all his might. It smashed into the hull of the other ship like a hovering windmill.
Sure enough, at a critical juncture. This kind of passionate and brave man, even if his head is not good, is still very trustworthy at a critical moment. Miss Fantine thought.
In normal times, the boatswain's all-out tomahawk or stone lead ball could even pierce the left side of the Neosfia Navy's high-speed cruiser, but this time, he was obviously extraordinary, and the arc just now stimulated his cell activity. This huge battle axe was hovering at high speed, directly driving the frenzied wind pressure, as if it could decapitate a dinosaur on the spot.
But then, an invisible arm seemed to condense in the air, easily catching the whistling tomahawk, as if it were not a murder weapon that could smash through the hull of a battleship, but a ball of paper thrown by a child.
"Whew!" The invisible giant hand that was invisible to the naked eye seemed to move, driving a trace of wind, and the tomahawk, which had completely lost its kinetic energy, was directly thrown into the sea like other worthless heavy objects.
The boatswain's mouth was wide open, but there was no way to shout the "ah". He just stared at his eyes with his mouth open, as if he was completely struck by this unforgiving reality to the point of being completely incomplete.
Of course, just because Mr. Boatswain is not good at his brain does not mean that everyone on the ship is not good at it. Bonnie, the female wingman who had just been kicked over by Miss Fantine, suddenly flapped her wings and went straight to the clouds, ready to slip away...... But just now, when she had rushed a few meters high, she heard a tooth-aching crash of "duang", and Miss Bonnie fell back on the spot as if she had been swatted by a fly swatter, and smashed on the deck in a perfect font, and lost consciousness on the spot.
Suddenly, the boatswain fell to his knees on the deck with a "poof", holding his head and crying loudly, tears and snot came as he spoke, and it can be said how sincere and sincere he was: "I have an eighty-year-old child and a nursing mother, and I have gone astray just to mix a mouthful of food......
"O goddess! I'm really wronged! A louder voice suddenly sounded from the ears of the first mate, how deep and full of affection, how sad and earnest, how miserable and miserable, what a sad and miserable relative, what a sad and weeping hearer, not the captain who had been squatting with his head in his arms before, but who was it? Even Miss Fantine, who is very familiar, really thought that the other party was a person with a story for a while.
"We are just a group of poor people passing by doing maritime business, if we were not forced, who would be engaged in this kind of high-level industry with no future, no future, and no minimum guarantee! We are just a bunch of poor people who have been forced to walk down such a path of no return! Worse than the most ordinary refugees in the city! Please, great mage, please, Goddess Nadia is a magnanimous woman, and kindness is her teaching, and it is your virtue! Please, you'll get around my dog's life! β
"Miss Fantine, Miss Fantine, hurry, go raise the white flag!" Mr. Captain is actually really remarkable, crying and wailing for mercy, and at the same time he can turn his head and tell the first mate who is completely stunned. This kind of switching speed between expressions and voices has definitely reached the point of mystery.
At that moment, the first mate suddenly felt that if she committed suicide by jumping into the sea immediately, would she feel better? (To be continued.) )
