Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 216: One reflexive stroke
At sea.
Crash! collapse! collapse! ...
The battleship continued to use powerful trebuchets to unhurriedly launch deadly "worm balls" onto the "Iron Bones", and continue to delay the "Iron Bones" by killing people and destroying sails. Escape speed.
What Bassem wants is the "living people" on the ship. Of course, it is impossible to choose to directly sink the "Iron Bones" with the firepower of the battleship domination.
Especially when hunting powerful men who are qualified to become their own prey, Bassem appears extremely patient, and this battleship that can be called a mobile fortress under his command is where his confidence lies.
As a powerful Tier 4 battleship, with its displacement and powerful firepower configuration, "Withered Bones" is naturally impossible to control without a sufficient number of "sailors".
But...
Step on.. Step on.. Step on..
Although the ship is now "people coming and going", the helmsman, the sail lineman, the catapult manipulator...obviously there are many sailors who are constantly busy performing their duties, but it is as silent as death.
There was no voice, no shouting, no commanding sound, and no joking and screaming!
The "sailors" in the ragged sailor suits with dark skin, using standard and skilled movements to operate the sailboat, except for the sound of footsteps, there is no noise in the middle, let alone whispering...
At first glance, this pirate ship is well-trained, and it's even more strict than the navy's military discipline.
But if you stand on this ship yourself, although there are indeed many "people" moving in front of you, it feels like you have come to a dark and gloomy cemetery in the middle of the night, which makes people shudder.
Not to mention, the rancid smell of corpses on the ship is almost a nightmare for any human with normal senses!
At this time.
On the high stern of the battleship, a little weird man with a bandage full of rune curses and a white silk cloak around his neck stood quietly.
However, his bare skin was covered with purple-black scars that healed after festering. Although his eyes were alive, his appearance was not much different from the appearance of the "zombies" on the ship.
Bassem is holding a heavy golden stick in his hand and looks casual. It doesn't look like sailing in a treacherous sea, but rather like patrolling his own ranch.
"Ha Kaka Kaka,'Iron Bone William' will definitely be a good material! His strength is strong enough, and his experience is legendary enough. Maybe he only needs him alone, and my collection is enough to build the'Bone Altar'.
The nickname "Iron Bone" and "Iron Bone" is also good. Soon, you will be mine! Ha ha ha ha ha ha..."
The laughter is unpleasant and harsh, like the sound of rough stones that do not contain a trace of moisture after a hundred years of thirst.
Especially when he laughed, he revealed a disgusting tongue covered with black patterns, like a snake head drilled out of a dark cave, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable just by looking at it!
Call——
At this time, the wind in the southwest of the sea is very strong.
------>>
Although the two sea-going vessels are in a stalemate due to their own problems, the absolute speed is not slow.
Between chasing and fleeing, time passed quietly.
Although the sun has gradually risen, a layer of morning fog slowly drifts on the sea in the early morning, and the visibility is not much better than that in the early morning.
"Change sides in the wind!"
Ivan once again issued this command that has been most frequently spoken of since sailing against the wind.
The zigzag sailing method makes the sailing ship yaw at any time, and the course must be constantly corrected to ensure that the warship is moving in the established direction.
In fact, at this time, the "Conch" and the "Thumb" towed behind and the two oncoming pirate ships were already close at hand.
However, because of the large-scale sea fog that happened to rise nearby and the effect of the “fog silver lamp” that was turned on in advance, the pirates were not discovered by the chasing pirates.
"The sail is long and the sailboat is braking. Let's wait for them to pass first!"
The sailing crews immediately controlled the sails of the foremast and mainmast, making them slanted in opposite directions, the force was offset, and the two ships floated quietly on the surface of the sea with the current.
From Milan, Ivan obtained extremely detailed information related to Bassem, which was more accurate than the description of the pirates in official intelligence.
One of the weaknesses of Bassem and his subordinates is that they are extremely insensitive to the senses.
After all, it is already a "corpse" driven by extraordinary abilities. It is good that the original guy on his body hasn't rotted, so how could there be any sensitivity at all?
So Ivan boldly seized the upper hand this time and took the initiative to attack, otherwise the crew had been driving upwind for a long time, and the crew would be too tired.
Soon, two pirate ships passed by them one after another two kilometers away, although they both noticed that the sea fog in this area seemed to be thicker than other places.
I only thought it was a cloud of fog formed in a specific area. One was busy running for his life and the other was busy chasing and killing them, but they didn't care about it.
Fluttering edge——
So they did not notice that a white seagull flew out of the mass of fog, stretched its wings across the sea, and landed silently on the somewhat miserable "Iron Bones".
After many upgrades, the seabirds' abilities are far beyond the original.
When fighting the "White Shark", he was able to simply send a message to Geer, and now even close instant messaging is no problem.
A weird beetle made of gold was once again picked up and flew into the sea. With William's mighty skill, he couldn't help but breathe a few breaths.
Huh! Huh!
Even if the beetle's attack is much sparser than the beginning, it seems that the opponent's bug ball is almost exhausted, but what is more desperate than the continuous attack is that deep and thick almost suffocating sense of powerlessness!
On the vast sea, there are only oneself and the enemy, and the sails are highly damaged. In this chase battle, the enemy cannot give himself a chance to repair.
------>>
Even if I was so cruel to give up these crew members who followed me and glide away with the "Upright Wind Return", it was just gliding and not flying.
When I fall into the sea alone, the ending will be no different from now!
However, even if they can stay on the "Iron Bone" for a while, most of the crew have reached their limit under the culling of the weird beetle, and the terrifying "Withered Bones" is already close at hand.
In the downwind direction, they can clearly smell the thick corpse smell from the ship...
The mountains and rivers are the true portrayal of him and "Iron Bones" at this time.
Fluttering edge——
"Hello, Mr. William, we meet again! However, it seems that your situation is not very good."
"Who?!"
The sound that suddenly rang in his heart shocked William, who was already nervous, and he turned his body quickly to find the owner of the sound. But looking at the reaction of the crew nearby, it is clear that only oneself can hear this voice.
"No need to find, I'm on the mast in front of you. And time is running out for you, let's make a long story short."
The sound from the bottom of my heart sounded again. "Iron Bone William" finally determined the source of the sound this time. He looked up at the mast, and there was a snow-white seagull staring at him with round black eyes.
At this time, William couldn't care about whether the existence behind those black eyes was a bird, a man, or a devil. The appearance of the last life-saving straw left him no other choice.
Knowing clearly that he is already in a precarious situation, William doesn't have the capital to play the bargaining mentally handicapped scene. Even if he is slaughtered, it is better than becoming a corpse!
"Can you save us? What price do I have to pay?"
As an experienced former naval officer and now a pirate captain, William immediately realized that there was a problem with the fog on the sea just now, and someone was hiding there!
"Very good! Mr. William! You are obviously a clever man. Let's fight back! The fight to the death may be a way of life. If you delay it any longer, Bassem’s "Bone Altar" will have part of your Iron William. Ah. Hahaha..."
He didn't say who he was~IndoMTL.com~ and didn't make any promises. It just declared his existence and ended the message directly, and the white seagull flapped its wings and flew into the fog again.
On the "Conch".
"Is this all right? Don't you need to let William cooperate with our tactics?" Milan saw Aiwen reopen his eyes, he asked suspiciously all the way.
"The trust between our two parties is limited and it is not enough to support the complex plan. With William's traditional style, without any hope, it is hard to say how he will choose.
But after knowing that there are reinforcements, he will fight Bassem to the death according to our hopes. When it comes to this time, does he have a better choice? "
With his ruby cane in both hands, Ivan explained to Milan.
Moreover, I am not doing charity. If you don't want to use the power of this veteran knight to complete the beheading with a strong lineup of four transcendents, wouldn't it be good to wait for them to lose their hands before doing it?
