"Lord, the pirates are calling." Robert, the captain of the Queen Mary, could not help but become frightened when he saw the pirate fleet getting closer and closer. He leaned behind Roger and said quietly: "Shall we...shall we go back again?"
Go some upstream?”
"Are you scared?" Roger said without looking back: "Don't worry, I'm on the boat to make sure you're fine!"
Roger's confident attitude also gave others reassurance on the ship. Robert was right when he thought about it. Even the lord was not afraid. Why was he worried? If there was really danger, why would the lord stay here?
?Is my life more precious than a noble lord?
Roger's attitude reassured everyone else on the ship, and they all returned to their respective posts to get busy. The pirate fleet had also approached the dock, slowing down gradually and preparing to dock.
It is not easy for a large ship to dock at the dock, especially when there is no one on the dock. If a pirate ship wants to dock at the dock, it must first slow down and approach the dock, and then slowly dock at a very slow speed.
Although the pirates have a large number of ships, so many ships were originally commanded by about ten leaders, and there was no chance to sail together at all. Before, there was no big problem sailing on the wide sea, but now they are all gathered together.
Arriving on the relatively narrow Tula River, the whole journey
The formation was already a bit confusing. In addition, these ships were large and small. It was easy for small ships to flexibly slow down, but it was difficult for large ships to stop clumsily. Therefore, when the one-eyed flagship issued the order "big ships dock first",
The fleet, which was already somewhat chaotic, became even more chaotic.
The small boat in front quickly slowed down, but the large boat behind it that had no time to stop rushed straight up. The boats of different sizes were mixed together, and many of the boats squeezed in were completely unable to move. Some smaller pirate ships even
Being crushed by the big ship, the pirates on board had to jump into the water to escape.
"These idiots!" One Eye was furious when he saw this scene, and loudly shouted to the first mate beside him: "Quickly, order all the ships to disperse and let the largest ship dock first!"
No wonder One Eye is so angry. He thinks that this landing operation is a "raid". The most important thing about a raid is to move quickly and occupy the dock before the enemy reacts. However, there are so many ships not far from the dock now.
There was chaos on the river, completely contrary to One Eye's original intention. An extra minute of delay for the fleet here would give the other party one more minute to react. This is definitely not what One Eye wanted to happen.
However, it is simple for One-Eye to issue an order, but it is very difficult to actually execute it. Many pirate ships have been collided and damaged and it is difficult to continue sailing, and a few ships have even become tightly entangled with each other, and there is no way to break free for a while.
?One Eye saw the pier close in front of him but could not get ashore. He was so angry that he yelled that all his men were idiots and could not even do such a small thing well.
Roger was well aware of what happened to the pirate fleet. He ordered the Queen Mary to weigh anchor and move downstream as early as the pirate ship was in chaos. Although Robert was very uneasy about this, he felt that the lord would not joke with his life.
, so he quickly gave orders to the sailors.
The Queen Mary was traveling very fast down the river. It didn't take long for it to be only half a mile away from the dock, and even closer to the nearest pirate ship. Roger could even clearly see the pirates on the ship running busy.
Running back and forth, trying hard to steer their ship away from other ships.
Feeling that this distance was just right, Roger loudly ordered to the captain behind him: "Robert, just keep this distance and let the ship sail back and forth between the two banks."
Whether or not to continue forward was in line with Robert's wishes. He quickly lowered the mainsail to the sailors and turned the steering wheel sharply to let the Queen Mary sail diagonally towards the other shore.
The pirates naturally discovered the Queen Mary, but their attention at this time was all focused on attacking the town of Kent. Everyone wanted to get out of the current mess as soon as possible and get the Sea Dragon and other large ships to dock as soon as possible.
So no pirates wanted to attack Queen Mary at all.
When pirates came to this merchant ship, they must not have known about the situation in Kent Town, so they accidentally broke into a place so close to the dock. With so many ships here, there was no need to worry about the threat posed by a mere merchant ship.
However, neither the pirates nor the sailors on the Queen Mary noticed that as the Queen Mary sailed slowly between the two banks of the Tula River, huge wooden barrels appeared on the water behind the ship, followed by
The water slowly floated towards the huddled pirate ship.
Soon there were more than a dozen wooden barrels floating on the water, getting closer and closer to the pirate ship. When the time was almost up, Roger summoned four crossbow beds from the castle warehouse and placed them on the deck of the Queen Mary.
Also appearing on the bed were a dozen heavy crossbowmen, busy making preparations for launching.
Everyone else on the Queen Mary was stunned by this sudden scene. After a while, Robert murmured to himself: "Great Supreme God, this must be the power of magic!"
There is such an advantage in the world of Toulonzo. When people deal with matters that they cannot understand, they either attribute such phenomena to miracles or regard them as magic. Unlike people on earth who always have to study the reasons, it is better to
Roger saved a lot of time to explain.
Someone on the pirate ship soon discovered the crossbow bed on the Queen Mary. Just as they were shouting to warn their companions, the crossbow bed had already started firing.
Several pirates instinctively hid, but the giant crossbow arrows did not hit the pirate ships at all, but accurately hit the wooden barrels floating on the water. The barrels immediately broke into pieces after being shot by the giant crossbow arrows, and the contents inside
Fire dragon blood immediately poured out and covered a large area of water.
More than a dozen large wooden barrels were all shot through in no time. The fire dragon blood contained in them almost covered the entire Tula River, and drifted towards the pirates' huddled fleet as the water flowed. However, the pirates were all trying hard to get away.
In the current chaotic situation, no one noticed the changes on the water. Even the pirates who discovered the Queen Mary focused all their attention on the crossbow bed on it, never expecting that the real threat was actually on the water.
superior.
Roger saw that the faint red layer on the water had spread to the pirate fleet, and couldn't help but murmured to himself: "Hey! It's almost done, buddy, burn the pirates!"
As soon as Roger finished speaking, several magic apprentices appeared behind him. Under Roger's order, the magic apprentices chanted spells at the same time and released flame arrow magic into the water.
As soon as the flame arrow touched the water, the fire dragon's blood immediately burst into flames. The flames instantly spread to the entire water surface, and at the same time rushed towards the pirate fleet at an extremely fast speed.
