Chapter 55 Battle on the side!
“How could it be so fast?”
Looking at the Black Swan approaching at a fast speed, Baroque’s expression changed slightly, and he was filled with surprise and uncertainty.
In terms of speed, [Angry Shark] is already the best among ordinary sailing ships. However, in front of the oncoming Black Swan, it is like a slow wild elephant meeting a rushing and attacking cheetah!
If the two ships go side by side, in just a moment, they may not even be able to see the stern of the Black Swan!
The first mate, who looked like a scribe, said with a solemn expression.
“The performance of a sailboat alone, even with the hybrid power of a steam turbine, cannot achieve such speed.”
“Unless…”
“Then The ship has been blessed by secret power or extraordinary relics!”
The first mate’s analysis makes sense, but at this time, the pirates on board the Angry Shark are not in the mood to listen to him.
"We're about to collide!!!"
"Is the captain on that ship crazy?"
"He wants to die with us?"
Pirates They exclaimed loudly. No matter how tough and fierce a person is, they will inevitably lose their bearings when they see such a ship that is faster than a swordfish rushing towards them in a self-destructive manner.
For a time, the deck was almost a mess.
Baroque still maintained some composure and roared loudly: "Shut up!"
"Whoever yells again, I will chop off his head first!"
His The words poured out like a barrage of cannonballs.
“Gunner, fire!”
“Sink it for me!”
In his fierce roar, the pirates finally regained some sense, and the gunner quickly returned to his position.
Boom! boom! boom!
The gunpowder smoke dispersed, and the iron cannonballs exploded out under the push of gunpowder, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
Then, it landed on the sea more than ten meters away from the black swan, splashing high with water.
After firing these rounds, the gunner was sweating profusely and his face was covered with cold sweat.
"Captain, you missed, you really missed!"
The accuracy of artillery in this era is pitifully low.
The Black Swan is also an extremely fast "moving target". Whether you can hit it or not depends entirely on luck!
“Damn it!”
Baroque cursed in a low voice, but when he looked at the oncoming Black Swan, he felt fierce in his heart. He gritted his teeth and revealed a sinister smile on his face.
"It's a collision, who's afraid of whom?"
"I'll fight with you!"
Only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname.
"Crazy Shark" Baroque's "crazy" is by no means a deserved reputation!
But, just when Baroque was about to collide with the Black Swan.
The ship, which looked like a living creature, suddenly began to slow down in a strange manner, like a galloping horse being pulled by the reins.
In just a moment, it dropped from full speed to a speed similar to the [Angry Shark].
This scene once again stunned the pirates on the deck.
A ship is not a steam locomotive on the shore. It is very difficult to control due to the influence of current and wind speed. It requires the cooperation of many sailors to increase or decrease its speed.
It may be relatively simple to increase the speed to full speed.
But even experienced captains cannot achieve such an exaggerated speed reduction in a short period of time.
Only sailors know how difficult and incredible it is to control the speed of a ship at will.
At this time, the Black Swan and the Angry Shark had approached an extremely dangerous distance.
Both sides can directly see the figures on the other side's ship.
Normally speaking, the next step is to hang up the ship's rope and engage in the most dangerous boarding battle.
But suddenly.
“Boom!”
A loud noise sounded on the deck of [Angry Shark].
The pirates hurriedly turned their heads to look. I saw a steel body like an iron tower appearing on the deck.
His body was made of cold and solid armor, with magic power forming strange lines and a glimmer of light flowing through it.
The huge size and heavy strength caused the deck under the man's feet to show horrifying cracks like spider webs.
An unlucky pirate couldn't dodge and was stepped on by him. His chest collapsed into rotten flesh and he soon lost his breath.
Faced with the arrival of this man, the pirates were a little panicked.
But after all, they are murderers licking blood from their swords, and there is only one enemy at the moment, so there is no reason to be afraid of him.
After a brief period of fear, the pirates still shouted and rushed towards the armored knight.
“Kill him!”
“Kill!!!”
Facing the pirates coming from all around, the armored knight stood there like a mountain.
There was only one thing he did, and that was to raise the big sword in his hand and slash in all directions!
laugh!
This sword is not sharp, but it is hard enough and heavy enough.
Wherever the sword blade struck, the pirates' ribs were broken, their limbs were chopped off, or they were knocked away by the force and fell into the sea.
Several pirates died in just one round of chopping.
The smell of blood and the sound of wailing spread on the deck.
From beginning to end, the knight maintained a cold silence, like an emotionless killing weapon, which was frightening.
How could "Crazy Shark" Baroque allow the other party to continue to massacre his men? he shouted loudly.
"Who dares to kill me? Seeking death!"
The next moment.
He then picked up the giant machete with serrated teeth and made a sudden leap.
The power of this knife is enough to split a person in half from the middle!
Dang——
The machete collided with the sword, and the surging air waves expanded suddenly. Many pirates were unsteady and almost were blown away.
The entire deck of the ship seemed to tremble due to this exchange.
What followed was a fierce confrontation.
The two heavy weapons were swung tightly, colliding and rubbing back and forth, making continuous loud noises. The aftermath of the battle alone prevented other pirates from intervening.
After another close collision.
Baroque and the Armor Knight each took a few steps back.
When he raised his head again, Baroque's eyes were full of solemnity and he cursed in his heart.
“Damn, this guy is too hard!”
He was certain that his sword had fallen on the knight several times.
Only because of the protection of the armor, it failed to produce any real results. Instead, it made his palms numb and red blood flowed from the tiger's mouth.
“However, your strength will eventually run out!”
“There are so many people on my ship, and I can kill you just by using them up.”
"The one who wins in the end will be me!"
A cruel smile appeared on Baroque's face, and he thought to himself: "If you're to blame, blame me for being too arrogant and daring to break into my territory alone!"
But at this moment, another figure arrived [ On the deck of the Angry Shark, it happened to fall next to the armored knight.
It was a handsome man with light blond hair.
Compared to the dirty and bloody pirate ships, he seems to be more suitable to appear in the courtyards of nobles and luxurious palaces.
However, the man carries an indescribable mysterious temperament.
Like the lightless deep sea, or the vast starry sky...the dim light cast from places too far away to be explored lingered around him and reflected in the eyes of others.
The moment I sensed this mysterious power.
Baroque's body trembled slightly, and the hairs all over his body stood up due to instinctive fear, he thought in disbelief.
"Is this...the captain of the Black Swan?"
