Chapter 174: Offshore Aid (2)
"Storm Valkyrie Guard! Open the bow! Sixty meters above friendly forces! Triple precision! Put! ”
Martha, the leader of the Valkyrie Guard squadron, stepped on the side of the ship, raised her longbow and pulled it into a full string, and with a loud shout, she instantly released the bowstring.
Behind her, her comrades shot arrows from the string at the same time.
Suddenly, the arrows of the big canopy formed a dense rain of arrows, and they pierced into the group of winged demons who were about to rush to the ship.
The first winged demons crashed into the rain of arrows from the Amazon, and were shot down from the sky in droves, wailing and screaming, tumbling and falling onto the deck of the ship or directly into the sea.
"It's Amazon! We are saved! ”
Seeing this scene, the crew members of the ship immediately cheered, and their spirits were so high that even some ordinary sailors bravely pulled out their scimitars at their waists.
"Don't be underestimated! Watch out for fireballs! Paladins! Raise your shield! ”
At this moment, Sosia, who was standing on the bow of the Belhein, suddenly roared, and the shield in his left hand was raised above his head, and a golden light appeared on the shield surface.
Hearing her reminder, many paladins also reacted immediately, and they immediately followed the example of female paladins, half-crouching down and raising their shields above their heads, and at the same time, those who had learned the divine shield skills also turned on the divine shield skills.
The next moment, a large number of fireballs with the smell of sulfur fell from the sky, and it was like a meteor rain on the two ships, the flames spread in all directions, and the smoke drowned everything inside.
The Amazonian warriors finally knew why there were so many scorched marks on these two ships, because these winged demons not only attacked each other, but also spat fireballs!
"Extinguish the fire!"
"Ahh Help me! I'm on fire! ”
"Mages! Frost Nova! ”
"Druids! Those who have learned about polar storms will also help put out the fire! Fast! ”
"Others! Stay in formation! Amazon and other mages, hurry up and return the color! ”
The two ships were immediately in a state of hustle, but they had obviously been attacked by the Winged Demon many times, so they were not busy.
The melee professionals all have shields in their hands to protect the ranged professionals who are shooting the Winged Demons, and the Assassins are swimming around the boat to clean up the Winged Demons who have landed on the Winged Demons.
All the wounded were temporarily dragged to the second level of the ship, the second level of the Bel Hain was fine, and there was no water, but the water in the second level of the Di Hain was knee-high.
But it can't be helped, soaking in the water is better than being caught by the Winged Demons and torn to pieces in the air or having you play freefall.
However, although the crew members were accustomed to the fireball strikes of the Winged Demons, the number of Winged Demons who came this time was quite large, which caused fireballs to continue to shoot down from the sky, directly smashing on the wooden deck or other hull parts.
The professionals and crew could hold on for a while, but the De Hain couldn't hold out for long!
The rift on the broadside of its forward hull that had torn most of the foredeck was getting bigger and bigger under the constant bombardment of the Wing Demons, and gray smoke began to rise from the edge of the fracture.
An Assassin had just finished off a winged demon that had been shot through when he turned back to see a raging fire on the foredeck of the De Hein.
"I need an ice mage here! Send at least three ... No! Send at least four! ”
The Assassin immediately cried out in horror, knowing full well what would happen to them if the fire was allowed to continue burning.
After receiving the assassin's alarm, five ice spells were immediately teleported directly to his location, and when they saw the monstrous flames burning in front of them, they couldn't be surprised and quickly started to extinguish the fire.
Rings of pale blue ice burst from under the mages' feet, suppressing the fire bit by bit, and the Assassin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the fire was under control.
However, before he could finish his breath, a terrifying scene suddenly happened in front of him.
The deck under the feet of the five ice spells who were extinguishing the fire suddenly exploded into a pillar of fire that rose into the sky, and this pillar of fire came so suddenly that it didn't give the mages any time to react.
The assassin was swept five or six meters away by the violent shock and the shock wave of the explosion, and he watched as the five mages disappeared into the pillar of fire in an instant.
Along with the mages, the entire foredeck of the De Hein was gone.
The powder room is blown up!
This sudden and huge explosion not only stunned the crew of the De Hain, but also affected the Bel Hain next to it.
"There was a violent explosion on the foredeck of the De Hayin, and it is expected that the powder room where the fire powder was stored was ignited!"
An observer ran to Sosia, who was organizing a defense on the Belhein, and reported in a sad tone.
Damn it! Why at this time!
Sothia gritted her teeth fiercely and cursed fiercely in her heart.
Fire powder is an alchemical material refined from a certain mineral, this material has a strong explosive power, only a little bit, it is enough to throw dozens of pounds of iron balls hundreds of meters away.
Based on this principle, human craftsmen invented the "iron cannon", a bulky weapon that, as expected, could smash dozens of pounds of round iron balls directly onto the enemy's head, and no flesh or even a relatively low city wall could withstand the bombardment of this weapon.
Iron cannons were even moved to the walls of the Second World Death Fortress to defend against demonic attacks.
But after the specific use, people found out that this weapon is not bad for projection and even some clones, but for the demon itself, it is too funny.
The iron balls shot by the iron cannon can't hit those powerful creatures at all, and even if they do, the effect is completely inferior to that of a professional who goes up and stabs a sword.
As a result, this weapon was eventually thrown back into the First World, and was used in city defenses and fleets by the major human kingdoms.
Of course, the main ships of Lu Gaoin's royal fleet are also equipped with a large number of these iron cannons, but this thing has not been able to play any role since the fleet was ambushed, because the enemy is all from the air, and the elevation angle of these guns is not enough, and it can't hit those flying winged demons at all.
And even if it didn't work at all, it was actually counterproductive, and it actually blew up the entire foredeck of the De Hein.
This was a fatal blow to this already crumbling ship, and the Dehein began to sink rapidly into the water at a speed visible to the naked eye, and many of the wounded who had been transferred to the cabin in the bombardment of the Wing Demon just now had no time to evacuate at this moment.
Their comrades-in-arms could only watch them being mercilessly submerged by the sea, and they had no time to mourn, and they were about to start thinking about their own way of living.
As the ship began to sink rapidly, the captain of the Dehein had no choice but to abandon the ship, and the crew cut the cables attached to the small wooden boats on both sides of the ship and put this last hope of life into the water.
However, since there were only four lifeboats on the ship, at most half of the people were able to board the ship, and the rest had to stay on the Dihain and die with the ship.
"Hurry up and save someone! We can't let them stay there and die! ”
Sothia yelled at the Navigator, but the Navigator shook his head at him with a look of grief and indignation.
"Lord Sothea, we can't go over! The De Hain is sinking, and if we get over at this time, the whirlpool that the ship will bring up when it sank will sweep us in!
The Belhain's rudder had already been broken and its sails were all burned, and it was still able to move forward thanks to the minions of the necromancers, rowing desperately in the flooded cabins below.
Our motivation is simply insufficient, and if we are caught in the whirlpool, we will probably be dragged down as well! ”
