Chapter 360: naval battle
Pirates are desperados. The so-called desperados are those who can take their lives seriously as long as the benefits are sufficient.
The treasure of Captain Kidd, the pirate king, is of course a "sufficient" benefit.
Therefore, they clearly saw that the heavy crossbows of Panda and others were powerful, and they could feel the wind howling from two to three hundred meters away. They clearly knew that even if such an attack was just brushed aside, it was estimated that one life would be lost by 70-80%. But they still rushed forward without fear.
A mage ran to the main sail of the pirate ship and cast a spell to attract a gust of wind. The huge sail was blown like a full moon, and the entire hull accelerated again, almost ramming towards the Flying.
Looking at their actions, Ge Li sneered: "Playing a naval battle with Lao Tzu? Just your broken ship, it's still far behind!"
He opened the cover next to the steering wheel and activated the well-protected magic circle. Suddenly, the golden sails automatically swelled without wind, and the hull suddenly accelerated, rushing out like an arrow from the string, avoiding the The direction from which the pirate ship rushed.
Seeing this scene, the three spellcasters including the Summoner Don Quixote hurriedly entered the cabin - the magic circle needed their magic support.
Compared with the pirate ship, which relies entirely on spellcasting to create wind, the Flying No. driven by the magic array is much higher in terms of the efficiency of magic use and the output of wind. Compared with the pirate mage who felt that his level was very limited at first glance, the three spellcasting traversers had far more than a lot of higher magic power reserves and magic power output.
The most important thing is that the magic circle of the soaring number is not only a wind technique.
The necessary wind formation and detection formations for the magic ship are of course no problem. In fact, Ge Li also hid a hole card on the boat - the missile circle.
Magic Missile is a spell that is easy to learn but difficult to master. A novice-level spellcaster can throw a missile that emits purple light, and its power is about the same as a hard punch, while a legendary mage can emit hundreds of thousands of streamers in one breath. Yicai's magic missiles, each capable of piercing through steel and shattering rocks, can turn a small army into a **** mosaic with one move.
The level of Ge Li's missile array is not high enough to emit powerful magic missiles, but as long as there is enough magic power supply, at least there is no problem in terms of quantity.
For example, if the three traversers in the current cabin are used as the supply of magic power, it is estimated that fifty or sixty magic missiles can be smashed at once. Although the power is not as good as the heavy crossbow, it is absolutely no problem to kill the pirates who do not wear heavy armor. .
Ge Li thought for a while, but after all, he was not willing to use his trump card now.
He felt that the strength displayed by the Flying Ship was enough to beat up those idiots who only saw money in their eyes, and there was no need for any more big moves.
At this moment, Panda put the heavy crossbow aside and slowly took out a ballista from the item bar.
When he was on the Harp Mermaid, he felt that this kind of big guy who shoots stone bullets is very cool and powerful, so when he got off the ship, he specially bought one from Captain Jack-Captain Jack was a little confused about this. It seems that the ballista is just a product to scare people. I didn't expect that some people actually think this thing is easy to use.
All in all, everyone is satisfied with the deal. Captain Jack is very satisfied with the price of the ballista, and Panda is very satisfied with the quality of the ballista.
It is the only green-quality ballista on the entire Harp Mermaid, with the added effect of precision enhancement. For ballistas, this effect is most suitable.
In one breath, he raised his ballista skill to level 15. He knelt down on one knee, half squatted, put the ballista on the side of the ship, took out a stone bullet of the same green quality, and put it on it.
There are no green-quality stone **** on the Harp Mermaid. He bought these stone **** from Giacomo and bought them at Flying Fish Harbor.
Aim, shoot.
The stone bullets roared and flew out, not in an unknown direction like the usual ballista shooting, but roughly maintaining the direction pointed by the panda, galloping towards the pirate ship.
Then, it hit the sail.
The sail that was blown like a full moon by magic suddenly broke a big hole, the wind dissipated a lot immediately, and the speed suddenly decreased.
"Damn it!" Ge Li was steering the steering wheel in the captain's room, and when he saw through the window that the panda actually shot the opponent with the legendary "everything happens" ballista, he couldn't help shouting, "Panda, you are also a part-time gunner. ?"
However, the panda missed the next shot, and the deviation was not small, at least ten meters away.
Ge Li was relieved - this kind of accuracy is actually quite high, and the accuracy of the ballista is just that. If it was really like the first shot of the panda, it could hit it at a distance of almost 200 meters, then it would have been widely used on sea ships.
"It's too far away," complained the panda. "If I could get closer, I'd be more sure."
"Closer? No problem." The confident Ge Li smiled and maneuvered the Flying Ship in a circle, slowly approaching the pirate ship.
Seeing the Soar approaching, the pirates fired their bows and crossbows. But their shooting skills are obviously not too hard, they are in a mess, and they don't even shoot a little closer.
It's not entirely to blame for their poor archery skills. Shooting arrows on a galloping ship is inherently difficult. The pirate ship is very bumpy at the moment, they can shoot the arrow steadily, even if it is not bad, do you want to shoot accurately? impossible.
In contrast, the Flying, even though it was accelerating, was much more bumpy than the Corsair. It only shakes frequently and in small amplitudes, and it does not affect the shooting too much.
When the distance between the two ships was about 100 meters, the ballista in Panda's hand roared again and shot out stone bullets.
This time, the stone bullet flew past the pirate ship, and the distance was no more than five meters.
"Okay! Go on!" Ge Li exclaimed excitedly.
Panda smiled slightly and continued to aim, this time for about half a minute before shooting the next stone bullet.
With a dull loud noise, the stone bullet slammed into the side of the pirate ship heavily, smashing a large piece of the side of the ship, and the shattered wood chips and stones flew everywhere, hitting two nearby pirates. The injury may not be serious, but it makes them panic and look uneasy.
"Boss! Evil sect!"
"Yeah, how can the ballista be so accurate? I'm afraid the other party is not a legendary gunner!"
The bearded pirate who used a black cloth as a headscarf yelled angrily: "You two bastards! You haven't been hit yet, what are you doing, crying and calling your mother! Have you all lost your courage with shit!"
At this moment, a cold light flashed, and his voice stopped abruptly. I saw a feathered arrow pierced through his head, just like the legendary William Tell arrow pierced through an apple, turning his head into a very funny look.
The pirate captain couldn't even let out a scream, and fell down amid the panicked shouts of the pirates.
The ranger Youdian, who has been aiming and has not shot the first arrow until now, put away his longbow and smiled with satisfaction.
As a little transparent on the Flying Ship, he usually does not show off the mountains and waters. He is neither a spellcaster nor good at finding treasures. But in fact, as a ranger, his true abilities cannot be fully revealed until the battle.
In naval battles, he is a dangerous sniper, specially responsible for sniping the captain of the other side!
