Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 117: Reinforcement admission
After the two pirate ships pass by.
Ivan visually inspected the distance between the two sides and ordered:
"Zhengfan! Let's catch up!"
So from the perspective of looking down from the sky, two vessels were chasing and fleeing with great fanfare in front, and the other two followed behind in secret, and the four vessels with their own thoughts went through the morning mist on the sea like this.
It's just that as the sun rises, the fog on the sea gradually becomes thinner. It may not be long before Ivan and the others may not be able to hide themselves like this naturally.
However.
Before that, "Iron Bones" had already reacted...
"Gentlemen! My reinforcements are here! The gunner is in place, and the guys who should have been in the grave are returned to the grave!" William boarded the stern and issued a loud order to his crew .
The intention of the mysterious person behind the White Seagull is very obvious, that is, to let his "Iron Bones" take the lead, and first have a head-on with the powerful "Bone Tomb".
However, this is an outright conspiracy, no matter how it is calculated, this in itself is the "Iron Bone"'s greatest chance of surviving. As a pirate, William didn't reject being used. If the other party was really merciful and didn't ask for anything, he would really have to worry about getting out of the wolf's den and entering the tiger's den.
Although the crew didn’t know when and how their captain contacted the reinforcements, their long time coexistence on the same boat made them believe in the “uprightness” of their captain, and they barely restored their morale and performed their duties. A fighting stance!
"Lower the sail!"
An order was given, and "Iron Bones" suddenly slowed down.
It was not far away from the "Withered Bone Tomb", and this time caused the draught to be extremely deep and turned to the unwieldy battleship to catch up.
At the moment when they passed by, the straight-line distance between the two ships was only 50 meters.
Boom! boom! boom! ...
The gunners who had been waiting for a long time concentrated on the starboard side close to the battleship and fired abruptly.
In the orange flame, even the crew of the "Bone Tomb" has long been turned into a "corpse monster" but it is impossible to resist the violent kinetic energy of the cannonball.
It's just that the hull of the battleship is thicker and taller. Even if it shoots at the target on the ship at the maximum elevation angle, the results achieved by more than a dozen chain bullets are not as great as the "Iron Bones" pirates imagined.
Actually, expecting to use "Iron Bones" and battleships like sea fortresses to compete in artillery battles is simply impossible. William ordered the firing of artillery to create conditions for the next battle.
Uh, maybe there is a whimsical idea of hitting the Grand Canal and injuring the opponent's mainmast.
The reaction of "Bone Tomb" was not slow at all, countless "zombies" seemed to use the same nervous system, and the entire battleship seemed to come alive.
As the lowering of the sail slowed down, the small muzzle on the stern of the ship opened, and then the grape projectile shot from a high altitude swept across the deck of the "Iron Bones", creating a large blood mist.
I don't know whether it was because of absolute confidence or the shooting angle. Even at this time, the most powerful 24-pounder gun on the battleship did not fire.
No matter what Bassem thinks, William decisively issues the next order.
"Come on up and fight on the side!"
"Uha——!!!"
I was thrown away like a dog for half a night and lost a large number of companions inexplicably. At this time, the crew of the "Iron Bone" had already suffocated their anger.
At this time, I was agitated by the blood on the ship, completely restored the bravery and surviving that belonged to the pirates, and yelled at the battleship.
Even if a companion is torn into blood mist by his side, it will not stop the pirates from charging.
It’s just because of the difference in size between the two pirate ships that this "fighting battle" has almost become a siege battle. The crew of "Iron Bone" must use hooks and cables to climb to "The Tomb of Withered Bones." superior.
The crew of the "zombie" who retained some of their wisdom during their lifetimes lined up to meet the enemy with scimitars in their hands.
Boom! boom! boom! ...
After the muskets fired each other, a torrent of blades slammed together.
Qiang——
On the battleship, Bassem was standing in his command position and did not move. Seeing "Iron William" who rushed aboard the ship was very pleased and exclaimed:
"The chosen one!
Take up the courage to face the last enemy in your life, exhaust all your bravery and vitality and fall on your way to the charge. While your life is ending, your destiny is also sublimated perfectly!
You didn't disappoint me, William Hardy! I admire your courage! Ha ha ha ha ha ha..."
I can’t understand what this guy with weird dress, weird style, and weird behavior is talking about. William’s two knives have been unsheathed, and the wind under his feet turned into a shadow and rushed towards the poop, with an angry shout:
"Neurosis, take your life!"
The proficient level of "Sisi Scimitar Art" turned the double knives in his hand into the fangs of a bloodthirsty beast. In the past, William followed the principle of not killing, but it did not mean that he would not kill!
Hey----
With the sharp sound, two scimitars slashed down with his determination to kill!
Clang!
William's double knives were firmly sealed by a pair of steel claws that suddenly protruded.
"Are you... ‘Ocelot’ Runk? Haven’t you been missing?"
The one who stood in front of him and acted as the Bassem Eagle was a middle-aged man with short hair wearing steel claws on his hands and a thin body with dim eyes. He was also a strong pirate who somehow disappeared in the past year.
Boom----
The ear-splitting roar of the huge force smashed the air suddenly came from behind, and William couldn't care why the missing big pirate appeared "alive" on Bassem's ship, and hurriedly withdrew his sword to dodge.
Step on!
A light backflip has returned to the deck, looking up to the poop, another very familiar figure, with his calmness can't help but exclaim: "Bonebreaker Tempus. .."
The person who had just launched a "sneak attack" on him was a big bald man with a naked torso and black skin. He was wearing a steel glove on his fist the size of a clay pot. At first glance, he knew that this was a very rare good use. Master of boxing.
"Hakhaka...it's a pity that after being made into a'zombie', it can only remain active (spiritual) for one year, and it will gradually decay, otherwise, you will be able to see more future companions."
Hearing Bassem's seemingly kind explanation, William felt a chill in his heart.
Although I have heard some rumors about this guy, I have seen with my own eyes that the once-famous strong man has been turned into such an inhuman and ghost-driven appearance. I can’t help but appear in fear at the same time. A trace of sadness.
However, don't wait for him to brew more emotions.
The hatch under the battleship's deck was suddenly pushed open, and several black torrents came out carrying an unbearable stench. It was hundreds of disgusting "zombies" that were blackened and putrid.
Compared with those who "work" on the deck who can't speak but are obviously smart, they are obviously closer to "monsters" with a higher degree of corruption!
The crew of the "Iron Bones" immediately fell into a bitter battle.
"Ah--"
"Roar..."
"Cut off their heads!"
Although these "monsters" will die if their heads are cut off, they are obviously more difficult to deal with than the same number of humans holding cold weapons. I don’t know the pain, there is no fear, even if I die with the enemy, I still have to eat a piece of meat from the enemy.
Seeing that the crew is annihilated, the result that William himself will become human material is a foregone conclusion.
"Your Captain, do we really want to save'Iron William'? Even if he has a good reputation, he is a pirate after all. If we wait for them to lose both sides, or simply consume a part of Bassem's power, it is for us Isn’t it better?"
Through the fog, the officers of the "Conch" watched the battle between the two pirate ships in the distance, and the first officer Borg couldn't help asking.
In fact, this tempting idea was not uncommon at the beginning. If the alchemy bombs Milan brought on the ship were not used up, Ivan wouldn’t mind taking advantage of the entanglement of them to send a wave of "bombers." "The airdrop will solve both of them once and for all.
Unfortunately, after the "Alchemy Bomb" is used up on the "Mirage Starfish", the level of "Conch" is not qualified to supplement this weapon at other naval bases.
In addition, after Milan's analysis of the "fog + artillery + thorny rose" tactics.
The advantage of using sunlight to weaken things like "corpse monsters" is obviously greater than the benefits of obstructing their vision~IndoMTL.com~ The most important thing is that after the fog is filled, there is no In the place of light, "Withered Bones Tomb" can also use a marine secret treasure called "ghost cloak" to hide its traces, which directly offsets the ability of "fog silver lamp", making the originally very useful "fog of war" turned into a blind man. The battle between.
So the tactic Ivan developed today is also to connect the side!
Leveraging on the power of the veteran knight "Iron William" to besie Bassem together, if he was damaged in advance, it would really become a fueling tactic.
But there is a gift to give him before the actual connection.
哐——
A wooden box was taken out of the "magic pocket" by Ivan and dropped on the ground. Looking at the logo printed on it, I knew that it was a munitions from the Naval Base of St. Maarten.
The white seagulls rushed down from the sky, grabbed the contents of the box, and pounced like a mini-bomber after another at the two pirate ships fighting in chaos.
At this point, William's long-awaited reinforcements finally arrived.
Fluttering edge——
