Chapter 303 Ecology
The next day.
All crew members rejoined.
The cadres received the Great Knight Construct Armor, an extremely strong and super heavy armor. The leopard-type construct enhanced the speed by 30%, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness.
Lao Hei was reluctant to give up this help, so he put on another layer on top of the original sturdy armor. Due to his tall and strong stature, he looked like a walking tin can.
"Three thousand potions."
"Upgrade of three hundred construct knights."
“It might take a week.”
Jiang He went into the captain's room to start refining potions and strengthening the evil soldiers. The formulas and techniques were very complete, and with his professional level as an alchemist, the process was not difficult.
boom!
The door of the captain's room opened, and a vicious knight marched out.
"Brother, how do you feel?"
The evil soldiers in the queue were full of curiosity.
"With the speed, strength and physique of a bronze elite, and the knight-level armor, I feel very strong now!"
The Evil Knight struck a crab-like bodybuilding pose, which immediately caused the Evil Soldiers to exclaim and applaud.
"Boss's craftsmanship is amazing!"
"Only the 300 people with the highest kill count will be able to make the list this time. I may have to wait until next time."
"I want this too."
The evil soldiers surrounded the evil knights.
Ah Si couldn't bear it anymore and coughed lightly.
"Don't crowd the door, next one."
"Yes."
Over the course of several days, three hundred evil knights were born one after another.
All the magic steel worth millions of gold coins was used up.
The price of a set of knight-grade armor is only 1000 gold coins. As long as the wizard golem cannot solve the problem of high costs, it will not be able to be put into large-scale application.
Jiang He ordered the ship to set sail and stayed in the captain's room to continue refining the potion, with Zhuang Ya serving as his maid assistant.
……
July 1600, Exploration Year 6.
The St. Lilith leaves the Zoa Islands.
Seven pirate ships left the port in unison and followed closely behind.
The lookout reported the situation, Commander Wu took command of the overall situation, and the Saint Lilith entered a state of combat readiness.
"Each unit is reloading its artillery shells."
"Sailor Team Evil Knights, get ready."
"There is no great knight in this battle. The boss is refining a potion. There is no need to disturb him."
Wuhe stood on the bow platform and gave orders, and a vicious knight helped to transmit the sound by holding up a horn.
In the cabin, five newbies were transporting shells in sweat.
"The elites on this ship are worse than dogs. How can we escape from our slavery?"
The guitar boy stuffed the shell into the barrel.
Thanks to the quartermaster's conscientiousness, the Saint Lilith was equipped with the best 56-pound smoothbore cannon of the era, weighing about 6.4 tons. With the help of white gunpowder, it could smash stone walls within meters. It was more than three meters long.
“嘘。”钢琴家竖起纤指,继续填充火药,她左右瞄了几眼才开口道:“那条黑狗是莱茵伯爵的爱犬,在船上必须称呼黑将军,否则是要挨揍的。”
The commander struggled to push the cannon on the roller board to the window, panting and saying, "General Hei occasionally has a wolf head and a human body. He must be a werewolf."
The violinist and the singer worked together to carry the barrel of ammunition over. It was filled with grapeshot. A rope net was used to wrap several shells together, which could effectively disperse the lethality and target the manpower on the deck.
"You said..."
"Fire both guns on the port side!"
Shouts of "Fire" were heard from above into the cabin. At the No. 5 gun window, Ah Da woke up from his sleep. A small artillery crew required the cooperation of six people. His task was to supervise the five laborers in front of him in addition to his job as a chef.
"Move quickly."
The commander nodded repeatedly: "Fire!"
Rumble!
The 42 guns on one side of the Saint Lilith all spewed fire, and deafening thunder resounded throughout the cabin. Everyone in Team Five had a buzzing in their ears, a dizziness in their heads, and thick, pungent smoke filled their faces.
"Cough cough cough!"
"It's so choking!"
"Don't just stand there, keep going."
Shells flew across the sea like meteors. The fastest level 5 pirate ship encountered fire attack as soon as it came to the side. Nearly a hundred shells fell, and more than twenty of them penetrated the pirate ship directly.
"fire!"
In the third round of bombardment, all the gun ports were replaced with grapeshot. The shells flew through the air like flowers from heaven, sweeping across the deck of the enemy ship, killing dozens of people and destroying the mast, making it unable to move and half sinking in the sea.
The third-level destroyer is in an absolutely crushing position compared to the fifth-level modified merchant ship.
Rumble!
The shelling from both sides lasted for two hours.
Only one-fifth of the Saint Lilith's huge artillery reserves were consumed. With the help of Dawn's intelligent analysis, Wuhe's command level improved rapidly, and four level-five pirate ships were sunk in succession.
"Report, the last two level 4 frigates are approaching from the side and rear. The combatants on the port side are on deck and ready for boarding."
Ada led the five team members out of the gun window. Several evil knights stood at the stairs and distributed weapons, one flintlock pistol and one magic steel scimitar to each person.
"The flintlock is loaded, but it can only be fired once."
"This magic steel scimitar is better than my main weapon. The equipment on the ship is pretty good."
Five players came to the side of the deck. The enemy ship was approaching quickly. In such a chaotic battle, a rare attack skill might not be more powerful than a white powder bullet.
Bang!
The two ships collided and shook.
With the help of the vibration of the hull, hundreds of evil knights swung on cables and fell onto the enemy ship. Hooks were laid between the sides of the ship, like a bridge built with ropes.
"Kill them! They have seized the Saint Lilith!"
"This ship is at least an A-level secret treasure of the sea. The news from Nightingale Hall cannot be wrong!"
The pirates seemed to be full of energy, most of them had bloodshot eyes. Occupying an A-class treasure ship meant they could roam the seas and become rich enough to rival a country. This was especially true when the Oak was robbed and five of their ships were easily destroyed.
Bang bang bang!
Bullets are fired indiscriminately,
As the two sides engaged in boarding, pirates were shot and fell continuously, screaming one after another. The pirates rushed onto the other side's deck, engaged in hand-to-hand combat, drew their swords, and countless sparks burst out almost at the same time.
"Don't run!"
"Help me kill him!"
Blood was spilt, and hacking and cursing were intertwined.
A big man with a full beard was waving a huge axe, and every time he swung it, a cloud of blood mist arose. This knight-level boatswain killed three evil soldiers in succession, but was suddenly attacked by Ah Si. The huge axe made a loud noise when it hit the big knight's armor, and Ah Si pierced his head with a sword and killed him successfully.
"I'll block the front."
Ah Da rushed into the deck of the enemy ship and supported Lao Hei who was rushing all the way. The two of them worked together to clear a bloody path.
The number of pirates is extraordinary. A normal level 300 ship can carry people, but this is when a lot of space is needed for daily life. If it is just for temporary troop transport, there are exaggerated cases in maritime history of carrying thousands of people. Although there are not so many at the moment, the two level ships together have more than enemies.
A tall and thin knight-level pirate holding a scimitar nimbly moved among the enemy groups, attacking the enemy's vital points. His sword flashed like a ghost, killing several people in a row, and the blood quickly dyed the deck red.
"Five newcomers?"
The Scimitar Pirates found the right direction and strode forward. Most of the enemies present were fearless and unafraid of death, but these five newcomers were in a panic. The contrast was very obvious. Swish!
The knife flashed from behind, separating the upper and lower halves of the guitar boy's body. Blood spurted out. As his upper body fell to the ground, he instinctively took out a bottle of rare healing potion and drank it, but it was useless.
"Sonic Spikes!"
"True Essence Shield!"
"vine!"
The energy consumption of activating three rare-level skills is somewhat unbearable for low-level players.
The pirate's second sword shattered the palm-sized true energy shield, and a sonic needle accompanied by a scream pierced his chest, but was blocked by the broken knight's breastplate. A vine as thick as an arm attacked, and the sword slashed it wildly, cutting it into several pieces.
"Guitar, are you okay?"
"I still have potion."
"Commander, go find someone to help!"
boom!
The pirate took out the flintlock from his waist and blew the prey's head to pieces. The splashing gunpowder burned the violinist's face.
"Too naive, you actually have time..."
puff!
A Er pulled out the long sword from behind the pirate. The guy stood there for at least three seconds and was a sitting duck. He didn't even look at the dead bodies on the ground and continued to attack other knights. As for those newcomers, their lives were their own and he couldn't blame anyone if they were lost. The most important thing was that he didn't get the order to act as a babysitter.
"The guitar is...dead."
The guitar boy was completely out of breath.
The four players were all a little confused. Hongdu Academy had not been established for a long time, and the feelings between them were not very deep. However, seeing their own kind die nakedly in front of them was still a little difficult to accept, even after a series of training such as slaughtering pigs and chickens and executing death row prisoners in the academy.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and the tallest and most conspicuous singer was shot in the thigh. The powerful force of the white gunpowder almost completely tore his flesh and blood, which made him let out a tragic wail.
"Don't just stand there and be a target!"
"If you're injured, lie down and pretend to be dead."
Ah Da turned around and slashed in a circle, killing five enemies with one move. Seeing that several team members were actually surrounding the corpses with their backs exposed, he almost burst into curse. The fact that they were not dead only showed that they had put too much pressure on the pirates.
The fierce battle lasted for half an hour.
The battle ended when the two captains were assassinated by two black feathers, and more than 400 pirates surrendered.
The evil soldiers skillfully searched and cleaned the battlefield, and then returned to their own ships. The Saint Lilith swallowed seven pirate ships in turn, and the hardness of the hull was further improved. It had been hit by more than a dozen shells on the side before, but due to the hardness and toughness of the hull, it only needed simple repairs instead of returning to the port to rebuild.
Wuhe quickly announced the battle situation.
Our side killed 1655 pirates.
Our side suffered 96 evil soldiers killed or wounded.
Due to the increased strength of the Evil Knights and their full armor, only about twenty people were injured, and there were no deaths. There is a world of difference between having armor and not having armor on the battlefield.
……
The St. Lilith continued sailing.
During dinner, the cadres held a simple funeral.
"Since you are a player, you must be aware of the possibility of death. Supervisor Chu taught us before we entered school. We have been here for a month, and the mortality rate is actually not higher than normal. Besides, this is how world quests are supposed to be."
The candlelight flickered and the commander lowered his head to eat. There was enough food on the St. Lilith. Tonight there was fried cod and stewed lamb. The staple food was fine white bread and the pickled vegetables were still tasteless. In addition, there was cheese and a piece of fruit, paired with rum.
"If I can survive this mission, I want to become a casual player." The disfigured violinist said, "It's too dangerous. I can obviously become a doctor or lawyer step by step. There is no need to take this dangerous path. If people have to pay a price for the novelty of gambling, then I choose to leave the table early."
"I will continue." Ge pointed at his broken leg and said, "Small healing potions can't heal amputations. I don't want to be on crutches for the rest of my life."
The pianist sighed, "Can you really learn anything in four years at Hongdu College?"
"Um...I usually stay up late playing games."
"It's normal to go shopping."
"If you choose to take an elective course, you must escape. If you choose to take a mandatory course, you must escape. We are not under military rule."
Ah Da sat beside them sipping dragon's blood wine. This fruity liquor had not yet been mass-produced, so each person had a very small quota. He listened silently to the conversation between the four newcomers in order to complete the intelligence reconnaissance mission assigned by Commander Wu.
"The fourth lady left the captain's room and took the black rose."
"I don't want to see the fourth young lady, I want to see the eldest."
"If the boss is willing to take me with him, I am no worse than Ada and Aer."
The evil soldiers walked onto the deck in groups, arm in arm with each other, and some of them even had a fight over who would go up first. Since they were all family members, there were very few rules on the Saint Lilith.
"Would you four like to go up and take a look?" A Da invited.
Several people looked at each other and followed Ada's footsteps.
When we arrived at the deck, a young girl in white was standing in the center like the moon surrounded by stars. She was very petite, with a delicate and beautiful face, and she was out of place with the ferocious crew members.
Ah Er came over with several captured pirates.
Bang bang bang!
The girl in white shot them all to death. Their heads shattered like fireworks. More than 400 pirates were killed without a single one left. They were lined up and shot one by one. In just a few minutes, the deck was filled with headless corpses.
The violinist turned pale and began to retch.
"It's so brutal. This is a tyrant's ship."
"They say killing prisoners is bad news," the commander muttered.
The singer and the pianist were already standing there in shock, their faces filled with horror.
"The snake said that the spoils should be divided among everyone."
"The manpower has been replenished from the temple."
"I'm done."
The girl in white bowed slightly.
Thunderous applause broke out and the evil soldiers were extremely excited. It was rare for the Fourth Miss to speak at such a long length.
The white figure disappeared into the ship's corridor, and a werewolf nearly three meters tall carried out several boxes filled with fishing rods.
"Are you willing to go night fishing with me?"
"General Black, I'm coming."
"Add me in."
Ah Da and Ah Er linked arms, dancing and soliciting, the latter mainly obeying the former, and since they often acted together, Ah Er regarded Ah Da as his elder brother.
"Ten people are playing cards. Remember to line up."
"I want to be a noble card player."
"There's no table. It was blown up during the day."
"Stupid, just chop off a few pirates' arms and you'll have it."
The evil army entered into nighttime entertainment mode, and many chose to return to the cabin hammock to rest.
……
In the captain's cabin.
The door opened, and Jiang He, who was standing in front of the simple workbench, glanced sideways. The little girl in white handed the black rose back to him.
"The big snakes have all been killed."
"You rest first. I'll stay up all night to make all the potions."
"it is good."
