After the first flying fish boarded the boat, at least twenty flying fish were waiting in the turbulent water. The flying fish swarm would attack passing ships simply because the other party invaded their territory. Flying fish swarms have always been the main cause of a large number of shipwrecks in the northern sea area of the southern continent.
, so fishing boats going out from the Southern Continent usually carry fishing guns or harpoons to prevent the tide of flying fish. Generally speaking, only dry Fire Moon days will have such a crisis.
Zuo Zuo threw the broken acoustic guitar to Shanon who had just walked out of the cabin, and hummed: "I taught you before, Shanon, if you encounter danger on the ship, you need music to support the crew's thoughts.
Yes, let’s talk about the song ‘Seagull’, I like the rhythm of that one!” As he spoke, Saozu picked up the harpoon leaning against the cabin and faced the second three-meter flying fish with well-developed pectoral fins, and flapped at the huge pig ears.
At that moment, Zuo Zuo picked up the wooden harpoon and stabbed it hard into the flying fish's head. He then used the orc's strange strength to throw the fish's head to the other side.
As mentioned before, orcs are the most powerful race in individual combat, especially the Kaweisa tribe and the winged tribe. These two races were also extremely top races in the era of orc war. Pig-headed people don’t like to think, but they are powerful.
It was so huge that when Zozo threw the gliding flying fish onto the deck, the sailors behind him swarmed up and stabbed the flying fish to death. Cavendi grabbed a percussion gun from the hands of the two sailors and aimed at another one jumping out of the water.
Feiyu, one shot hit Feiyu's left eye.
"Shoot them all! Don't let the flying fish break the board. Go to hell. Shoot them all. If the floor is broken, we will all be dead!"
Shanon hid behind the barrel and watched the pig-headed and human sailors use guns and harpoons to prevent the flying fish from hitting the ship. Even the only cannon on the bow of the ship was used with the cooperation of Abby and Ishan Manda to drive away the flying fish from a distance and aim at the bottom of the ship.
The flying fish. Zuo Zuo's face was covered with fish blood, and its pig's trotters could not clean the blood on his face very well, so he had to ask another pig-headed man to help wipe away the blood that stuck in his eyes. He flicked a few bunches of his mane, taking advantage of the surroundings.
There is a gap between sailors, pointing to Shanon behind the barrel.
"Shannon, I'm telling you to sing 'Seagull', or I'll break your legs!"
As soon as Shanon heard this, she quickly sat down on the barrel, put a broken acoustic guitar on her body, and played a fast-paced sailor's barcarolle. When the four pig-heads and seven sailors who were fighting with flying fish heard this, they were filled with emotions.
They also came up. After the seventh flying fish crossed the deck, Birmingham's crew suffered casualties for the first time. A lookout who had been sleeping on the deck was slapped by the flying fish's tail. His head and body were separated on the spot, and blood spattered all over the floor.
Norman, who was stunned on the spot, trembled. He subconsciously covered his eyes and squatted on the spot. Brynn taught him not to watch the bloody scenes of the conflict in Nakau. This habit lasted for more than three years. He came from behind.
One of the supporting sailors slapped Norman on the back of the head: "You little beast! What are you doing standing here! Do you want to die? Why don't you help carry weapons!" Norman was slapped to the ground, and his head hit the wooden floor hard.
But he saw a fat flying fish flying over his head, and the sailor just now was cut into two parts by the fins of the flying fish across his chest before Norman's eyes.
Norman screamed and held his head. He even smelled the fishy smell and stench of flying fish. Norman couldn't bear to see others injured. On the front hill of KazNorman College, he witnessed Brynn being stabbed in the chest by a flying knife.
, and then fell into a seven-day escape. He met Cavendi again, was robbed of the ring, shot through the thigh, and broke his fingers. For a while, Norman also forgot about the deaths of Brynn and Arthur. Now.
Seeing the sailor being cut off by the fin, all of Norman's traumatic memories were aroused. He was no longer as listless as when he came out of old Jeff's infirmary, but kept crying at the top of his voice. He was just a man who came out of the greenhouse.
A child being cared for.
A big hand picked up Norman's back collar and threw him onto the board near the left edge of the ship. Norman got up from the ground with tears in his eyes. His soles slipped and he fell again. The person who had just thrown him over was the person who had been talking to him.
Cavendi, who maintained a middle distance on the front line, calmly reloaded and fired, and had already shot down the eighth flying fish flying towards the mast onto the deck. The two pig-headed men quickly inserted the harpoon and machete into the gills of the fish, while Norman
It was right next to the fish head. He looked at the huge fish head in front of him. Since he had forgotten to cry, Zuo Zuo on the side hummed a tune with a short pig nose to the sound of the guitar. After approaching Norman, he slapped Norman on the left side of his face.
"Uh-huh~...Human brat~...If you don't want to fall into the sea and become fish food~...just stand up quickly and pick up your weapon to knock down the flying fish~"
Before Norman could feel the pain, the flying fish with the harpoon inserted into its gills twisted its body again and hit Norman and Zozo hard on the side. Norman and Zozo smashed into the wall of the room in the center of the sailboat like cannonballs, sending debris and dust everywhere.
Just as Cavendi shouted Zozo's name in animal language, the ninth and tenth flying fish attacked from both sides of the boat at the same time. Abby only had time to shoot down the first one with a cannonball, and the second flying fish slammed into the sailboat.
The first of three masts.
Shanon watched the mast fall, and the movement of plucking the strings in her hand gradually stopped. She stared blankly at the mast hitting her. Vulgar orcish language came from the ruins of the central room, and the remaining four pig-headed men hurriedly gathered around after hearing the words.
Together, putting their hands on the shoulders of the orc next door, the pig's hooves stepped down to the beat of the sailor's song "Seagull", and sang loudly in the orc language, while Sazo slowly walked out of the ruins with red eyes, puffed out his chest and shouted "Pig Man"
The beast roared, and Cavendi waved his hand when he saw this: "Those who can move quickly stand beside me and cover the fire. Abby, shoot down the mast! Come on, Zozo!"
After hearing this, Zuo Zuo ran towards the broken mast, leaving a faint mark on the wooden plank with every step he took. More than ten years ago, Zuo Zuo was also a soldier captain who participated in the battle between humans and orcs against elves. Although his strength and speed were not comparable to Kuang's.
Blade Arosa was no match for Gesas, who had tentacle arms, but under Abby's precise cannon fire, the mast was broken into two pieces. Sazo, who rushed under the first mast, kicked him away and stood there.
The immobile Shanon resisted the huge mast, but her body was also smashed into the next level.
The mast did not cause too much damage to the deck. After confirming that the damage was not serious, Cavendi, who was standing on the bow, raised his gun and shot at the flying fish flying in the air. He shouted to the remaining sailors: "Shanon, the Birmingham family is in need."
The family of Zhange, finish playing ‘Seagull’, helmsman, get out of Feiyu’s territory quickly, let’s start the counterattack!”
...
Half an hour later, Cavendi sat on the bow of the deck with a tired look on his face, watching the sailors cleaning the deck going back and forth. He finally passed the flying fish tide, and the ship also suffered heavy damage. The pig-headed sailors were at the forefront.
Two people died, and five humans died. Considering the more than two months left to sail, the losses this time were heavy.
Covered in blood and with dislocated shoulders, Zuo Zuo sat down next to Cavendi and said in orc language: "Boss, that kid was hit by a flying fish but didn't suffer much injury. He seemed to have adjusted his posture at the moment of being hit.
, received the impact with minimal injuries.”
"Huh? I understand, that brat, I will arrange something for him to do when we get to Nanstra. If it succeeds, we will make him a member of the family when we get to our territory."
Zuo Zuo rolled his fangs with his tongue: "You want him to do business? Those mermaids won't think that he is just a child and not do it."
"There is no loss for us if he fails. Let him try it." Cavendi took the pipe handed over by Shannon, took two deep puffs and handed it to Zuo Zuo. Zuo Zuo then took a puff of star fireweed and exhaled the smoke.
, looking at the sailors whose faces were covered with haze, after a flying fish tide, both experienced sailors and new crew members were in a state of loss. Old Jeff, the most senior ship doctor in Birmingham, was angry because of too many wounded people.
Panting, Zozo used her short legs to kick Shanon who was standing behind Cavendi: "Shanon, the second song I will teach you, go to the bow of the ship and sing it so that everyone on the ship can hear it."
Shanon took two steps to relieve the pain, trotted to the bow of the boat and found an empty barrel to sit down on. After clearing her throat, she sang a sad slow song in a childish voice. In the sun, the waves seemed to gradually slow down in response to the song.
It slowed down and there was no more surge than before. Cavendi lay on the ground with a pipe in his mouth and quietly watched the clouds in the sky drifting by: "Zozuo, I brought you back to the Eastern Continent this time just to expand our business.
Gotta do something legal."
Zuo Zuo twirled the golden mane on her head: "I know, boss, don't worry, we will live a good life."
...
January and eight days have passed since the voyage. The sea is very rough today. Norman, who is covered in black and blue, is cleaning the stern of the ship with a mop. Next to him are two sailors drinking and laughing. After such a long time together, the sailors have already
I recognized Norman's existence, but he was a character that everyone could bully on the ship. The only person who would not do anything to Norman was Shanon, who was Cavendi's little follower.
Shanon carried a bucket and put it next to Norman. The age difference between the two was two years, and Shanon always took good care of little Norman. "Norman, are your injuries okay?"
"It's okay, I overturned Ibby's wine and got beaten up." Norman, who used to talk and laugh in Kaznoman, has not smiled for a long time on this ship. He took a break for the time being: "Shanon, I want to get it back.
Is there anything you can do about my father’s things?”
Shannon frowned and looked at the sailors chatting and drinking in the distance, and pulled Norman around to the back of a room: "You still want to get the two rings back from Cavendi? You are crazy, he is a gang boss.
You see he is equally cruel to children!"
"I told you that it belongs to my father. My father is a great hero. He must be fine now... and I can't lose his things, so I'm going to find Cavendi to get it back." Norman's eyes
With a twinkle, he remembered the heroic education he had received in the academy. He did not need spectacular deeds to prove himself, he only needed to help those who could help within his own ability.
Shannon sighed helplessly, looking at her younger brother on the ship. As long as Norman's father was mentioned, Norman's eyes would always shine again.
"Perhaps, when you truly join the Birmingham family and become a member of the family, he will consider returning your ring."
"Family is not limited to blood relatives..."
"These are not the mafia families. They only need people who will not betray. I am an orphan, and I will try my best to find someone to support me. Therefore, I will also join the Birmingham family, and I will live a good life in Constantinople.
