Chapter 138: The Battle on the River

PS: Please forgive me in the process of revision.

"Wouldn't it be okay to touch it with a stick?" Looking at the paladin who was drifting away, Barrett couldn't help but say this. However, the first mate didn't even move his brows, obviously too lazy to answer.

Seeing this scene, Noodles, who came out after following Barrett, also trotted around Barrett, as if preparing to see what kind of expression he had now. And the paladin, who had already stepped into the cabin, paused slightly after hearing Barrett's words.

However, since the top boss did not speak, the sailor naturally did not dare to stop. He expertly pulled the hardwood short bow and shot at the female corpse in the water.

I saw that the arrow easily pierced through the woolen clothes outside and submerged into it. Then the 'female corpse' let out a "hmm......" sound, and a faint pink color appeared on the water.

"It's still alive!" The cold second officer on the side raised his eyebrows, "Tom and Jerry, you two go down in the lifeboat." If the person who falls into the water gets it, if she is not sure, he will chop her head with an axe. ”

"Yes, second mate." So the two sailors immediately beckoned to their companions: "Guys! Come and help put the lifeboat down. ”

"It's the two of you this time! Be careful! Don't forget what happened to Spike last time. Although he survived, he never had the opportunity to spray women in his life. An open-mouthed sailor quipped.

Apparently the sailor who had done the same task last time suffered the most from a man. Although in this magical world, it is not impossible to be reborn from a broken bird. But judging by the income of an ordinary sailor. It's definitely hopeless in this life.

Think back to Spike's tragic situation. Tom and Jerry's expressions both became a little unnatural. However, in this situation, they can only say, "There is a lesson from last time." We'll be careful. While untying the cable.

"Goo! Goo! The lifeboat hoisted on the pulley block continued to descend from the side of the ship. After entering the water, Tom and Jerry immediately rowed in the lifeboat and slowly approached the corpse.

"My lord, she is still alive and is a beautiful woman. Yes! Looks like an elf! As Jerry said this, he pinched the other man's long ears with a sinister eyebrow.

"Elves? Why is it here? After getting her to stop the bleeding, tie it up, and if anyone doesn't have clean hands, I'll chop off his hands! The first mate shouted loudly to the sailors below, and the crow on his shoulder also screamed with its teeth and claws.

"Actually ran into an elf on this river? This is a rare thing! Barrett touched his chin. However, since it is an aquatic elf, it can explain why the other party can still be alive after serving as a floating corpse for so long. ”

Also known as sea elves, the aquatic elves of this race have long, webbed fingers and toes, allowing them to glide lightly through the water. Cracked underneath their pointed ears are small, feather-covered gills, which allow them to survive in the water for long periods of time.

However, the reason why this ashigaru is called a sea elf is because most of them live in the ocean. They are rarely seen in freshwater basins.

After a while, the lady was rescued, with long, dark green hair, pointed ears, and thin puddles between her fingers. Both the first and second officers recognized it as a water elf. First mate John immediately ordered: "Let old Simpson come and wake her up." By the way, don't let her die by accident."

The second mate, Caddock, turned around and went to report to Captain Hoctor.

The ship's doctor bandaged the woman to stop the bleeding, and then found a lump on the back of her head and a stab wound on her waist that had not been scarred for a long time. It looks like he must have stumbled in the battle.

"I think something is going to happen right away!" After watching the lively noodles for a long time on the side, he said in a low voice like a philosopher.

Barrett slapped the head of the strip a little harder: "Stop being so crow-mouthed!" ”

And the paladin, who had returned to the deck at some point, saw a group of rough sailors carrying the wounded roughly, and couldn't help but step forward: "No! No! No! You can't be so violent with a wounded person, and she's a lady. ”

"Sir, please restrain your actions, this is a dangerous sea elf, and I don't want her to hurt you." The second officer, Caddock, returned to the deck after his report, just in time to see Waynes, who was overflowing with compassion. Mr. Kent.

The second officer yelled at the crew, "Bastard, remember to put this elf in the bucket." I won't allow her to die until I don't need to! ”

"Any aquatic species is dangerous to us, remember, any ......," he then turned to the nosy paladin.

Noodles turned his head to Barrett: "Dangerous sea elves? What's going on? ”

"It's a good guy, it's a bad guy, let's talk about it when she wakes up! Being unconscious is not much different from being dead. Barrett continued to join in the crowd.

Then he turned his gaze to the paladin: "Of course it's Waynes. Your words, Mr. Kent! I think I think I can know what she has to say about her in the past! ”

The holy warrior who stopped talking stared at the sea elf in front of him for a moment, and then frowned: "If it is for the safety of the ship, it is safer to tie her up." I'm not sure if she's hostile to us, but this guy hasn't done much good in the past. ”

"Didn't do anything good! That is, a very faint red glow. Barrett flocked to the delicate-looking sea elf in front of him, and then turned his gaze to the sailors on board.

Barrett, who was familiar with the world, knew that these sailors on board would detect evil if they passed by. That wouldn't have been much better than the sea elf.

Perhaps the sailors had a good work ethic, but their work was more or less violent. And during the indulgence period after entering the port, it is easy to do things that do not go through the brain.

"Certainly not a villain!" The paladin struggled for a long time before he came up with such an adjective: "It's just that the other party was not very clean in the past!" ”

"Since Mr. Kent said she wasn't very clean! Then we're going to have to take a good look at her! First Officer John said and waved at the sailors. Soon the unconscious sea elf was tied up and stuffed into a bucket. Then he was carried into the cabin by the sailors.

Seeing the barrel containing the elves disappear into the cabin, Barrett sighed, "I hope that sea elf is from some big tribe!" Otherwise, I really don't know what will happen to her in the end. ”

Although the elven empire in the game is strong, it may not care much about the races outside the kingdom. Especially the sea elves. There is a lot of filth between it and the empire. Therefore, the only thing that the sea elves in distress can rely on is their own tribe.

If it's a sea elf of a large tribe. Deter them from a great threat to the shipping routes. The pan-continental chambers of commerce will try to redeem their fallen compatriots. in exchange for the protection of the other party.

But if they are from an unknown small tribe, if the other party does not have any additional special status on the mainland (such as a member of a large chamber of commerce or something). I'm afraid it will become a treasure for some powerful people - since ordinary elves dare not move, they are definitely willing to pay a high price when they encounter rare and unprotected sea elves.

And for the paladins, slavery was the existence they absolutely wanted to overthrow. And in areas where slavery is not allowed, they have to crack down on this kind of behavior even more severely. So in the face of the possibility of encountering this one in front of him, Waynes. Kent was immediately caught in a dilemma.

Barrett could say this, but the holy warrior in front of him was roasted on the fire. The sweat on the other party's face that kept overflowing seemed to tell everyone that he was upset now!

"If she is willing to believe in my lord. I don't think the church would mind having one more Sea Elf believer. "Waynes. Kent's implication was to use the power of the Church to redeem the sea elf from the sailors if necessary.

It's a bit of a bit of a no-brainer, but I have to say it's a feasible note. Although in the hands of the eventual collector, the beautiful sea elf will definitely sell for a staggering price. But Captain Hockdor and his party had absolutely no way to do that.

After subtracting the middle few exploits, if the church comes forward to redeem it, a few will definitely not be too high-at least the Waynes in front of him. Mr. Kent felt that in his own capacity he could mobilize this authority in the church.

I don't know when I came to Clematis on deck. Bot suddenly said solemnly to the paladin, "In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Kent for the Sea Elf Lady's kindness." ”

Clematis, who is also a woman. Naturally, Bot hated the kind of mutilation of women. Even in the middle of the game, it can be uncomfortable to know. So for the Waynes in front of you. The decision of the Kent Paladin. She expressed her appreciation from the bottom of her heart.

"This is the path I'm going to follow for the rest of my life." Waynes. Mr. Kent was naturally able to feel Clematis. The emotion in Bote's words, and then his expression immediately became extremely strict......

Three days later, the punt Georgia was on board. It docked at the wharf of the "Three Rivers", an extremely important transshipment city in the middle of the Gros River.

And the water elf, who is still unconscious, was taken off the Georgia here. Waynes. The Kent Holy Warrior led Captain Hoctor, the sailors in charge of transporting goods, towards the temple of the gods in the city of "Three Rivers".

And when they returned, they could see Captain Hoctor's full glory! As soon as he arrived on the ship, he threw the money bags he had prepared one by one at the sailors. It's really everyone's share.

The only thing that surprised the players was that Waynes. After settling down with the sea elve, the Kent paladin actually returned to the Georgia. It seems that the action just now is just a matter of his hand, and it seems that this benevolent brother will go with the players in the future.

"The big guy over there! Can you tell me about your experiences since your adventures? Suddenly, a middle-aged man wearing a pair of red silk with a lute in his hand came to the lower deck. Push open the hatch and go to Barrett's side, and talk to Barretla like this.

"May I ask who you are?" Barrett looked at the man in front of him with a slight wariness.

The self-acquaintance in front of him immediately started talking: "I almost forgot to introduce myself!" I'm a troubadour, and I've been friends with the captain of the Georgia, Hawkdor, for more than ten years......"

Tong Guò also learned about the captain of the ship, but it was abandoned because he was a childhood sweetheart. Looking for a job away from home. Become a sailor. I also think that the experience of this poet is also rich. When he was young, he also knew a little about some healing spells, and he served as a priest in the village.

This Mr. Ococken is really interesting! Barrett chuckled in his heart.

But the Mr. Ococken in front of him really has two brushes in his own job. Every sunset, the lively singing accompanied by his lute piano, drinking Jiang Feng's breath and the chirping of gulls and herons jumping on the water, can always calm the impatient mood of the sailors.

Of course, this does not mean that he is specifically pleasing others, in a sense it is part of his life. Occasionally, the captain of the ship, Mr. Hockdo, can be seen taking out the castanets to beat the rhythm and partying with him.

This is a sight that can only be seen on inland waterway vessels. For the relationship between the captain and his subordinates on an ocean-going vessel, no matter how harmonious, will inevitably maintain a kind of majesty in the face of his subordinates - this is a tradition of seafarers for many years.

Night falls. A bright moon rises from the top of a mountain in the distance. The Georgia pushed through the waves and headed north in the gentle course of the river.

Suddenly, in his sleep, Barrett heard a trumpet sound from the river in the distance, and the sound suddenly fell at the end of the note, and the cycle repeated. "Guys...... There is a situation ......", Barrett rolled over and said, "I heard the horn blaring, and it kept flowing."

Hurriedly getting up and putting on his weapons and armor, he had to ask his companions beside him for help: "Who will help me with the time, this armor is in trouble?" ”

"How about calling a sailor to help you!" Rieli ignored Barrett and immediately slapped herself with mage armor and shields.

The blue arcane energy swirled around her. He poked his head out of the cabin and looked out of the place. The night in the distance is well understood. The sky was starless, and the thin veil shrouded the surface of the river, and it continued to spread with the sound of the horn.

"Barrett, I'll help you!" Lalou, who did not need to wear armor, immediately came to Barrett's side and helped him tie the buckle on his breastplate.

Claudia. Auditore and Clematis. The two ladies were putting their own chainmail shirts down like that. Grab your shield and mace and get ready to run.

As the dark arrow in the team, the noodles have disappeared from everyone's vision at this time. Even Barrett didn't know where that guy had gone.

It seems that he feels that the comer is not good. Mr. Ococken, who had not slept in the middle of the night, stood on the side of the ship and looked into the distance. But his visual ability was not very real in this situation, and he glanced back at the sailor on duty behind him, prompting him to ring the alarm bell. At the same time, he also took out his bow and arrows and stood on guard.

Just as Mr. Ococken was about to take a closer look at what it was, the creatures jumped onto the ship one after another. Several people directly around were hit by weapons in the hands of monsters. Even behind him could be heard the sound of monsters jumping onto the boat.

It was not just the port side of the ship, but the thing appeared from all sides of the ship, and the whole ship was under attack!

"Monsters, a water monster has jumped on board, everyone prepare their weapons!" Mr. Ococken, who had found that the situation was critical, shouted loudly as he ran towards the mast on the deck, which he intended to board. Standing on a high ground is a good advantage for supporting the sailors on deck with bows and arrows - the troubadour in front of him may not be very good at close combat, but he is still confident in his shooting skills.

The alarm bell of "Dang Dang Dang" sounds. At this time, the voices of the captain, first mate, and second mate came, and they called out to the sailors to get ready for battle, and the vicious voice of the second mate was often heard in the night. "Everybody get up, bastards, watch out."

The troubadour, who climbed up to the lookout with a few nails on the mast of the boat, launched his first attack, but because of the rocking of the boat, the bow and arrow missed the target.

"Hold the front, don't panic!" The Sun God's paladin shouted the slogan to steady his own crew and stood in the first row of the battle. Then he turned on the aura of courage, and a golden aura spread out at his feet. Then the sailors around him calmed down one by one.

Then the monster in front of him finally showed his true face after pulling the distance - the Sawa Fishman, the Sawa Fishman who had fought with the players before.

Two fishmen in leather armor standing in front of the enemy ship let out a "chirp!" Cuckoo! The sound rushed at one of the sailors with two harpoons, but was dodged by the other's dexterity.

"Die!" With a roar, the blade in Barrett's hand flipped over, and the flesh and blood killed by the three fishmen who approached him flew in an instant, and the light blue blood splattered him.

"How can there be so many!" Claudia holding her shield. Auditore exclaimed.

Fishing nets that suddenly flew out of the river put Barrett and Waynes in the front row. Kent caught the net, and the other fishmen rushed forward, some of them pulled out their javelins and threw them, most of them were blocked by the armor of the two, but one of them hit Waynes. The gap in the armor at Kent's arm.

Despite the obstacle of the trawl, the wounded paladin stretched out his sword in the grid and rushed towards one of the fishmen, while the other fishmen frantically scratched the paladin with their claws, leaving only slight scratches on him, while his silver-glowing sword pierced into the fishman's stunned mouth, turning him into a flaming silver yan.

The crew members who had been attacked hurriedly drew their weapons and fought the monsters, the sound of knives and roars was endless. Even the captain stepped onto the deck and said "Get these monsters off the ship!" In the midst of the roar, he picked up the scimitar at his waist and slashed the water monster back into whom.

However, these water monsters in front of them are quite ferocious and durable, and the crew members actually have a feeling of being difficult to resist for a while. Even if they struggled to cut those guys into the water, more monsters were jumping onto the boat one after another.

At this time, the deck was already in chaos, and the sticky body fluids brought by those monsters on the ship were mixed with the blood of unknown monsters or sailors, and the strange smell of fishy smell, and several wooden barrels were scattered on the side of the ship.

But the sailors were valiant. Barrett looked at a big, bald-headed man with a swarthy upper body. He kicked open the scattered barrel at his feet and took a sip, cursing something, the blood of the monster still dripping from the scimitar in his right hand. There were still a few sailors who were injured and fell on the deck, and several crew members were busy running back and forth, helping with bandaging.

Barrett raised the blade in his hand, crouched deeply, and slashed forward. Then the net that shrouded him was as if it was being pulled by a giant, and the mesh on it snapped off one after another.

The fishmen around him would have thought of such a situation, and they were all dumbfounded. You should know that the fishing net in front of you is made by soaking whale baleen with special seaweed gelatin. It can even be used to hunt the Great White Fang in the ocean.

It can be written that the giant mountain break is not only the nemesis of most supernatural resistance, but also the nemesis of most items. Even the tough nets couldn't withstand the boulder's pull—even if it was soft enough to overcome rigidity, Barrett's attack clearly exceeded the fishmen's expectations.

"Poof! Poof! Barrett, who came out of his pocket, turned around and brought a ring of cold light around him. Then more pale blue blood shot into the sky like a fountain. Immediately after that, the fish-men who directly attacked Barrett fell to the ground.

Time is limited, and the rest will be made up later............
