Chapter 191: Field versus field
Chapter 191 Fighting the Realm with the Realm
Xia En was determined after receiving the response from [Sky Snake].
However, the current situation is far from being able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Two unidentified pirate ships on the sea are still approaching menacingly, and the distance between the [Sky Serpent] and the two ships is rapidly shortening.
Furthermore, judging from their size, speed, and even the number of people on board, they seem to be slightly better than the "Sky Serpent".
One ship is difficult to deal with, let alone two?
But think about it, since they are attacking the apostles under Augustine, how could the enemy not be prepared?
At this time, Xia En had another weird idea.
“Perhaps these people attacked me just because John was the weakest of the twelve apostles.”
Thinking about it carefully, John Smith’s identity does have quite a lot of pitfalls.
Augustine’s adopted son, the weakest of the twelve apostles, could not restrain even the first mate of his own ship.
It is difficult not to remind Sean of the “special features” of previous promotion rituals.
His trial tasks always seem to be much more difficult than ordinary people.
Furthermore, Xia En also had a hunch that this identity pit was just a small pit, and the real big pit was yet to come!
Withdrawing his complicated thoughts, Xia En looked at the two ships approaching at speed, knowing that a fierce battle was inevitable.
Since you can't escape, of course you can only face it head on.
Then, as he has done countless times in the past—
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!
Xia En's eyes showed fighting spirit, and he shouted loudly: "Kani, follow my command and prepare to use your abilities!"
“Gunner, covering fire!”
“Yes, Captain!”
The pirates responded loudly.
Although Xia En himself didn't notice it, his [Captain's Dignity] had taken effect quietly.
Including the effect of enhancing the morale and attributes of the entire crew at the first level [Captain].
This halo effect is of little use on the Black Swan because its crew are all determined and unusual people.
But on the [Sky Serpent], this small ability has exerted extraordinary effects.
The pirates who were originally timid and scared in front of a strong enemy, and perhaps even thought about surrendering, only felt a surge of confidence and courage arise out of thin air in their hearts.
just like…
As long as you follow the captain in front of you and obey his orders, you will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties in front of you!
Boom! boom! boom!
The artillery fire roared, and the iron cannonballs fell on the sea, splashing high water.
But these shells did not come from the [Sky Serpent], but the two unidentified pirate ships fired first!
However, what surprised the pirates.
In the midst of the rising water pillars, the [Sky Serpent] showed a different shape and agility than usual. It was like a spiritual snake, snaking under the gunfire, and the momentum of charging forward was not reduced at all.
On the contrary, several of the Sky Serpent's shells landed on the other side's ships, causing some casualties.
However, the artillery fire on each other is just a test after all.
Both sides understand that the battle that really determines the outcome is the boarding battle!
This is also the mainstream fighting method of pirates in this era.
At this time, the two enemy ships attacked the "Sky Serpent" from the left and right, intending to poke two holes in it with their sharp and thick ramming horns.
Once the hull is seriously damaged, the [Sky Serpent] will probably sink directly in this sea area, let alone reaching the Pirate Principality.
Seeing that the distance between the ships on the left and right was shortening, Xia En's expression remained unchanged, patiently waiting for the opportunity to come.
“It’s about to hit!”
Carney was sweating and extremely nervous.
He could vaguely guess Xia En's purpose of using his ability, but when he entrusted such an important task to himself, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Especially looking at the two ships approaching quickly, Carney's heart almost jumped into his throat.
He turned to look at Xia En, a little confused as to why the captain could still look so calm at this time.
At the next moment.
Shaan ordered: "Kani, now!"
Carney did not hesitate, a thick smoke spurted out from his pores, like the ink spitted out by an octopus, covering a small half of the sea.
This is one of Carney's unique abilities. Although it looks weird, he can win unexpectedly at critical moments!
in a blink.
The thick black mist completely enveloped the [Sky Serpent], and it continued to expand.
The two dagger-like pirate ships also suddenly realized that something was wrong and wanted to forcibly slow down.
It's just that they rushed too fast and too urgently, and the timing of the black mist emerging was too clever.
It’s too late to slow down at this point!
Soon, the two ships plunged into the black fog.
On the [Sky Serpent], Xia En's eyes were surprisingly bright.
He held the steering wheel tightly and suddenly turned the rudder to the left. The ship's hull tilted a little under this violent turn.
“[Sky Serpent], charge up!”
“Squeak!!”
The [Sky Serpent] struggled to squeeze out the last bit of performance, and actually increased its speed again, barely avoiding the two ships attacking from the left and right.
followed by.
Boom!
With a slightly low muffled sound, the two pirate ships suddenly collided!
Even though their captains had slowed down as much as possible and tried their best to deflect the ship, this collision was still no small matter.
The hulls of the two ships were scratched by the other's collision angle with huge cracks. The wooden boards shattered, the hulls shook, and several crew members were even knocked off the deck.
“Damn it! How can that ship be so nimble?”
“That ship [Sky Serpent] seems to have come alive!”
On the unknown pirate ship, the two captains' expressions changed in unison, and they were both shocked and angry.
According to their original plan, capturing and even killing John Smith should have been a certainty.
But who would have thought that the most inconspicuous apostle would actually show extraordinary ship control skills.
It can be said that at the last moment, the [Sky Serpent] made an almost impossible tactical move and managed to escape from the pinch between the two ships.
The issue is…
This ability is inconsistent with the information they received previously!
Just as the two third-level captains were secretly surprised, a scream suddenly sounded from the deck!
This vast black fog is composed of secret power. Although it has no lethality, it is enough to obscure the sight.
The pirates on the two ships were already panicking and uneasy because of the violent collision. Where did they find that there was an extra person on the ship?
It was this scream that made everyone startle and look around uneasily.
But soon, another scream sounded.
This time, the pirates also heard the sound of scimitars tearing flesh and smelled the diffuse smell of blood.
The emotion of fear is contagious!
Especially in this dark environment, almost everyone among the pirates is in danger.
In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted.
“The people from the [Sky Serpent] are on board!”
Then with a bang, a fireball-like spell suddenly exploded among the pirates.
The shouts and shouts were like a flame, directly igniting the explosive barrel that could explode at any time, plunging the scene into complete chaos.
For a time, in order to protect themselves, all the pirates resorted to various means to attack anyone who came close to them.
There were not a few pirates who died at the hands of their own people. The third-level captain was a smart man and immediately spoke up to tell everyone not to panic.
But at the next moment, a black shadow came behind him and started fighting with him at close range.
The captain who can be responsible for the attack on the [Sky Serpent] is certainly not an ordinary third-level strong man, and he is also famous among pirates.
Just as soon as the fight began, the captain realized something was wrong.
The attacker's strength is too great!
After just one fight, the man could hardly hold the knife in his hand, and the tiger's mouth was sore.
And when he took a step back, the opponent followed him like a shadow, and his legs were chopped off like a giant axe, and his head was chopped off with a long knife!
There was another muffled sound. The captain raised his hands above his head and forcibly held the enemy's leg. However, his body was shorter, and it turned out that one leg had already been hacked into the deck.
Immediately, the black shadow ran like a giant beast, strode forward, and slashed at his neck with a knife.
This set of offensive moves is smooth and powerful, like waves that are constantly washing away. As time goes by, it becomes more and more unstoppable.
The captain was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Captain Bond, why don't you take action!?"
Xia En wanted to kill the captain in one go, but suddenly he felt a strong warning sign, and his body shone like a ghost.
Immediately afterwards, a dark black dagger swiped across the position where he had just been.
“Assassin?”
Xia En raised his eyebrows.
Before the dagger stabbed out, he could hardly notice anything strange.
Even until now, Xia En has not sensed the assassin's aura, which shows that the opponent's hiding level is high!
Obviously, this is a third-level assassin!
And an assassin can actually be a captain, this kind of thing is simply unheard of.
However, now that they have met, Xia En will not be afraid of the other party.
To capture the thief, capture the king first.
Kill these two captains, and more than half of this crisis will be over!
Thinking of this, Xia En decisively used all his strength and rushed towards the captain who had just climbed out of the deck.
The captain did not flinch, let out an earth-shattering roar, and punched his chest.
With the captain's attack, dozens of secret powers suddenly spurted out from around Xia En, condensing into sharp thorns that intertwined with each other, forming a death zone in an instant.
“Field?”
Xia En felt awe-struck in his heart, but in an instant he saw that this area was not that powerful.
Obviously, due to the restrictions on promotion to the ritual level, the captain's domain has also been greatly weakened.
Even so, this field also integrates enemy attack and restriction. Although it does not have many dazzling special effects, it is extremely practical.
at the same time.
A cold murderous intention flashed through Xia En's heart.
That assassin will definitely not miss such a good opportunity!
While being besieged from both sides, Xia En was not afraid!
His eyes became brighter and brighter, his aura became stronger and stronger, and the scimitar in his hand swept out like a long sword.
【Judgment】One sword!
In an instant.
The pirates on the ship all felt their hearts skip a beat.
This is obviously their ship, but this group of people inexplicably feel that everything around them, the black fog, the deck, the mast... all seem to be showing their fierce side to them.
They are like sinners burdened with sins, waiting for the judgment of some being.
Subsequently, a brilliant sword light broke into the pirate's field of vision.
They were dazzled and frightened.
…
…
The battle in the black mist is actually not that long.
But for the pirates who may die at any time, every minute and every second is extremely difficult.
At this time, the black fog began to fade and disperse.
Carney and the pirates of the "Sky Serpent" could no longer hold back. They threw a hook and boarded the two ships that collided.
“Captain John! Captain John!”
Carney and the pirates were looking for Shane while cleaning up the remaining combat forces on the ship.
To Carney's surprise, the pirates on this ship suffered extremely heavy casualties.
Although some pirates were still resisting, they failed to make much waves in the face of Carney and others who were recuperating.
There were also some pirates whose eyes were dull and their faces were pale, and they looked like they were frightened.
“Captain John did this all by himself?”
Carney was horrified.
Just now, Xia En told them that he would be the first to board the ship alone, and the pirates were all shocked.
But now, the pirates of the [Sky Serpent] know that he really has this ability!
However, they were still a little uneasy at not seeing Captain John himself.
Fortunately at this time, the black fog finally completely dissipated.
The group of people saw Xia En's figure at the bow of the ship.
In his hand, he held the head of a captain, and the assassin was directly cut into two pieces, with shock and disbelief still on his face.
Xia En closed his eyes, as if he was quietly comprehending something, and the sharp aura became more and more intense.
“Shadowblade Bond and Thornblade Geese!”
“They were all killed by Captain John!”
The pirates made a small uproar.
These two Secret Pathers are quite famous, and both have a record of killing several powerful men of the same level.
Especially "Shadow Blade" Bond, he is a feared top assassin!
At this time, the pirates' eyes changed subtly when they looked at Xia En.
This time, Captain John not only showed his ability as a leader, but also proved his strength again!
The fear these pirates have for him is no longer because of his status as an apostle, but because of him!
Soon, Xia En opened his eyes and felt that he understood the meaning of the [Judgment] field a little better.
“Is there such a benefit in using a domain to fight a domain?”
Although the field of thorns of Gith has been greatly weakened, the field is still a field after all.
This is not an ability that Xia En should have been exposed to at this stage, but he was exposed to it early because of this promotion ritual.
Thinking deeper, Xia En realized that this ritual might not only have the benefit of promotion.
Although the overall strength of the [Pirate Principality] copy has declined with its rank.
But some of the secret techniques and abilities inside are genuine, and there may even be unique secret techniques of legendary strongmen among them!
This is also an extremely valuable asset.
Thinking deeply, maybe this is one of the purposes of the promotion ritual?
Xia En shook his head, put aside these distracting thoughts, walked up to a prisoner, and asked.
“Tell me, who wants to kill me?”
