Chapter two hundred and eighteen on(1/2)
"Throw the hook lock! Jump over and cut off their oars!"
"Damn it, the shell is made of iron?"
"Use kerosene! Quick, throw the kerosene over!"
"Ah! My hand..."
"He can still be saved, carry him down!"
Looking at the messy deck and the large number of injured sailors being carried off, Molly couldn't help but sigh. But it was true that the sailors couldn't be moved back at the moment, because the sailors on the deck of the galley built by the Jackal next to them were
Combat is the key to this interception operation.
At this moment, Blue Pearl and the hydrofoil sailboat named "Kiyat" trapped the Jackal's large galley Tusk on the left and right, except for using various dog claw anchors to jam the Tusk.
In addition to the deck of the ship, the rows of oars on both sides below were also trapped by some kind of algae summoned by both sides using chains and magic.
At the moment, the Fang is like a fish on a chopping board, waiting to be processed by the two kitchen knives of Blue Pearl and Giat. However, the fish of the Fang is not an ordinary fat fish, but a fish with sharp scales.
The sea monster is still in the stage of resistance with its teeth and claws bared. Although it has been trapped by two ships, if the battle situation on the deck is unfavorable, then the two ships and their crews will be severely damaged or even severely damaged by the jackals who counterattack.
It is to be buried in the sea.
First of all, there is obviously a shortage of manpower on the orc side. The three ships before did not have many people in total, but now there is only one ship that is following the attack, the Giat, and the remaining two small hydrofoils are patrolling the periphery.
, but before that, the sailors from the two ships had all transferred to the Kiat.
Different from the situation where the orcs, except for the crew, were fighting, the battle on the Blue Pearl was obviously more defensive. After all, the orcs could fight face to face with the gnolls, but humans could not do this.
One thing, even though there were a lot of people who followed Azmat and jumped over to help in the fight, most of them withdrew not long after the fight, and those who couldn't withdraw in time were basically hopeless. Anyway, Molly looked at the opposite deck.
In the pile of corpses that had been torn apart by the jackals, almost none of them were intact, so I didn't think they could still be saved.
Fortunately, the jackals did not pursue the crew of the Blue Pearl. After all, the fighting power of the orcs is not trivial, especially the blessing brought by Azmat, the orc hero, which made the deck more exciting.
Twenty orc warriors suppressed nearly a hundred jackals and beat them up.
However, there were too many Jackals. The Jackals that emerged from the various deck exits of the Tusker were already making Molly feel numb. In addition, there was the trapped row of oars below.
The oarsmen in the cabin were still struggling in various ways to drag the oars.
Molly saw that the oars on this side, which were trapped by chains and hooks, were already trying to escape due to constant struggle, so she ordered her subordinates to prepare kerosene or send capable jump helpers there.
Use an ax to chop off these oars.
Azmat and Molly quickly reached a consensus when they saw the Fang. They both decided to try their best not to let the Jackal ship go back unharmed. If possible, destroy it here.
If you can't do that to the Tusker and the captain's crew, try to cause as much damage to it as possible or try to kill some of the crew members on the ship, especially technical targets such as the captain or first mate.
Captain Haru is the first and most important target.
Both Molly and Azmat were surprised that the Jackals could build such a monster ship. However, although the ship was built, they both felt that the Jackals still lacked skilled crew members.
Sailors are even captain-level figures who are familiar with navigation. Therefore, if you want to more effectively hinder the threat of Jackals at sea, it is naturally the best thing to find ways to get rid of the only Jackal warship and the captain's crew.
Of course, these previous plans seemed to be a little difficult now, because just as Molly was directing others to quickly deal with the oars, she suddenly discovered that the battle on the deck of the Fang seemed to have changed again.
Situation.
The orcs, led by Azmat, had killed very bravely before. Although the number was small, they still suppressed the gnolls, which was like a massacre. Almost all the gnolls who had been killed and injured were piled up on the battlefield on the deck. But there was a problem.
It was the Jackal reinforcements that seemed to be inexhaustible, with large numbers of Jackals constantly running out of the cabin to replenish the ship.
Although midway, Molly discovered that the gnolls who came out later were not equipped with armor. At most, they were holding a rough-looking short knife, and the muscle strength of these bare-chested gnolls was compared with their combat skills.
It seems that it should be a non-combat position, but even so, it cannot stand up to the endless "human sea tactics". Especially the fighting style of these guys has a hint of suicidal charge, and they must stop the orcs at the expense of themselves.
The offensive there then gave his companions a chance to counterattack. As a result, the orcs soon suffered continuous casualties.
Azmat quickly changed his battle strategy, and while personally covering the orcs' retreat, he wreaked havoc on the deck. These thick deck timbers were instantly weakened by Azmat's iron-like fists and feet.
It was riddled with holes like a piece of paper, and even the mast at the stern deck was directly broken by Azmat, and he took advantage of the moment when the mast hit the deck to block the Jackal's attack, and hurriedly carried it to the ground.
The corpses of the two orcs jumped back to the Giat.
Molly also took advantage of the situation to change her order, and immediately ordered the sailors to cut the ropes connected to the Fang and stay away from it. The sailors were indeed not as good as the orcs in combat, but they were very skilled in this aspect, at least when the Giat moved.
The blue pearl had already started to move before.
The failure of the battle made retreat an inevitable choice. Apparently Azmat and Molly had estimated many possible outcomes before, but they failed to accurately estimate the number of gnolls on the Fang. After this, it was like mincing meat.
After the machine-like battle, Molly roughly guessed that the number of members in the tusk, which was slightly larger than the Blue Pearl in total length, was at least three to four times that of the Blue Pearl.
The Blue Pearl itself is the most standard template warship in Pirate Fjord, with a total length of 30 meters. In addition to the combat personnel, it also needs a crew of about 30 sailors. Counting the full load of all combat members, the total crew is only 70 people.
, and the space occupied by the supplies on the ship is also included. However, the length of this weird galley, the Fang, is only about 40 meters, and the height is about the same as the Blue Pearl, and the cabin is narrower than the Blue Pearl, so Molly
Initially, it was judged that the maximum number of people on this ship was 100. However, after the battle just now, Molly was surprised to find that the number of jackals and corpses on the deck alone had exceeded a hundred people.
, and judging from the scale of activity in the other row of oars, most of the rowers on the lower level should still be there, so the number of members of the Fang is estimated to be an astonishing 200 or so.
If it were on land, Molly didn't think that a hero like Azmat wouldn't be able to deal with 200 Jackals, but this was on a ship after all, and he didn't have much room to play, and he had to fight on the ship at the same time.
Destroy, and also observe the traces of the primary target. Molly, the orc on Sova's side, only knows that their boat battles are very sharp, but for gang fighting and other things, they are only limited to the elite level of fighting against humans, but against jackals
Humanly speaking, Molly feels that their levels are about the same, that is, they are just more skilled than the gnolls. Therefore, under this ratio with almost no advantage, the combat advantage of the orcs will naturally not last long, and the gnolls
Although this side is not good at water fighting, it is still brave, and the humans can hardly help.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that all the deck weapons on the Blue Pearl were removed, resulting in a disadvantage in the battle. After all, the Blue Pearl was still waiting on the slipway of a ship repair yard somewhere before coming to greet Molly.
In order to rush for time, Abboud and the others directly asked Blue Pearl to step down again, without even having time to reassemble the weapons and supplies on the ship.
The Kyat on Azmat's side finally moved away from the Fang. The three ships separated from each other and sailed in their own directions. No one had the intention to turn the ship around and fight again. And as the battle continued,
At the end, the three cargo ships and two small hydrofoils on standby at the rear also bypassed the Fang to avoid a second conflict.
Haru, who was on the Fang, was also standing on the deck looking at the "joint fleet" of humans and orcs that were far away. He growled angrily and uneasily from his throat. At this moment, he really wanted to go back to meet the orcs.
Or humans can fight, at least with the anger of a ship full of jackals, Haru felt that if the opposite ship was not sunk, it would be difficult to dissipate the anger in the hearts of the crew. But Haru was not overwhelmed by anger.
It is now very clear that the advantage on its side is still too weak. Although it has repelled the attack of the orcs, it has little chance to achieve more results. After all, the orcs are about the same, and even that damn orc hero Az
Matt also appeared in the battle for some reason, and they retreated very quickly when they realized something was wrong, so even if the Fang turned around and returned to the other side, they might not be able to engage in battle.
Another point is that the human pirates have joined forces with the orcs for some reason. This is the biggest reason for Haru's uneasiness. Haru recognized the Blue Pearl from the battle before, and also saw it on the opposite deck just now.
Molly who commands the sailors to cause destruction.
Haru remembered that this guy should still be imprisoned somewhere before he set off. After all, she was the daughter of the leader of the Blood Scimitar, and she was more or less useful. If it couldn't be used, it could be exchanged for ransom, and if Hodo
If I were to use my hands a little more, it would be a good choice to directly use her to cause damage to the Scimitar Pirates' interior. But now Molly has come out, and she is also riding her Blue Pearl and has an sworn feud with the pirates.
The orcs of the Fang Coast got together. Apparently something terrible happened in the Pirate Fjord during the time he was out, so Haru was very worried about Abbas and the others, so he didn't have a special love battle.
He rushed directly and quickly towards the Pirate Fjord.
Of course, Haru doesn't intend to retreat in such an embarrassment. At least it captured a prisoner of a human pirate during the battle. You must know that humans don't have many strong bones. Now this prisoner is being carried like a lamb by one of his subordinates.
He seemed to be trembling there, presumably he would speak without any torture. Similarly, although the orcs also wanted to capture some prisoners at the beginning, the battle there was obviously too brutal, let alone
Captured, just to kill an orc sailor Haru would cost the lives of at least three gnoll warriors.
This is not to say that the jackal warriors cannot defeat the orc sailors of the Sowa tribe. After all, if they are on land, with the level of the sailors of the Sowa tribe, one of the jackal warriors on their side can defeat two of them. Jackal
The human warriors also went through a period of ship-fighting training, but after all, this was their first real battle, so all kinds of rush and instability of the lower body and other problems directly led to a sharp decline in combat power. Fortunately, later
Lu let the sailors under the cabin come out to fight for their lives. Although they were not good at fighting, they were quite flexible in fighting on the ship. Therefore, their appearance turned the tide of the battle in the end.
This battle information is very crucial for the Fang Pirates. To be honest, although the battle was very embarrassing at the beginning, it was still a good training, and the results were barely good. As for so many people dying, it can only be said that
It's really helpless. After all, most of the jackals who died in the battle were killed by the orc hero Azmat. This guy is an exception and can never be viewed from a normal perspective, so haha
Lu also felt that Abbas was the only one among the Fang Pirates who might be able to fight him.
"boom--"
Suddenly there was a muffled sound of thunder in the sky, which not only woke up Haru who was deep in thought, but also alerted the fleet of Azmat and Molly who were about to leave the area.
On the Kiat, Somdell, who had extensive sailing experience, looked at the sky in confusion. Because Somdell did not think there would be a thunderstorm today, he was a little nervous about where the abnormal thunder came from.
.But when he and others subconsciously looked up at the sky, they suddenly discovered that the problem was not just the thunder. It seemed that when everyone was busy fighting the jackals, the originally bright sky had gathered a crowd of people for some reason.
A thin layer of dark clouds. This is only the sky on their side. At the same time, in the sky on the Tusker's side, thick thunderclouds that are constantly erupting with lightning are gathering and gathering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
tumbling.
"What... what is this?" Somedale pointed at the dark clouds in the eastern sky and said, "This is not normal... The speed at which thunderclouds gather... does not seem to occur naturally..."
"Yes, this is not a naturally occurring thundercloud..." Azmat also nervously grabbed the side of the Kiat and looked at the sky with a frown.
The thunderclouds in the distant sky looked like an extremely unstable thunder and lightning aggregation, constantly erupting with terrifying electric sparks. Even Molly could see this abnormality, and even she barely understood magic knowledge.
Haru's hair stood up all over his body under the influence of wild intuition.
Harry was a little crazy and loudly ordered the sailors to move faster at any cost. He even ordered others to throw all unnecessary things in the cabin into the sea to reduce the weight, especially the various metal weapons and inlays in the hands of the Jackal warriors.
Metal studs, wallets and other equipment. After all, the severely damaged Fang is directly under the dangerous thundercloud at the moment. In addition, the entire ship of the Fang has a metal deck, so if a thunderstorm strikes, the Fang will be damaged.
The ship will definitely be struck by the surging thunder and lightning above its head first. Although there are some magical protections on the ship, Haru can still distinguish the more powerful ones from the smaller ones. It does not think that the gadgets on the ship can withstand it.
Be able to withstand the power of destruction above your head.
Molly was already prepared. She opened all the sails under Azmat's instructions, and after adjusting the angle, she asked all the crew members to hide in the cabin for refuge. However, due to the special situation of the Kiat
To be continued...
