Codex Pirates

Chapter 36 Heavy Rain (Part 2)

Although it is only a cargo ship, it is not without any self-defense arms in the environment where pirates are rampant.

Boom!

There were also several small cannons at the rear of the cargo ship driven by Edmund and Valon. When the pirates of the Redbeard Pirates came within range, they fired all at once, and a few orange flames appeared from the opposite pirate ship. Fired.

It's just that in this bad weather, hitting a moving target at sea with artillery basically depends on luck.

The reputation of the Redbeard Pirates was too great. Although the sailors on the ship took up arms to resist, they were still terrified. The captain and others were still trying to dissuade Edmond from thinking about it, which annoyed him very much.

Seeing that the distance between the two ships was getting very close, the captain was about to grit his teeth and ignore Edmund, and forced the crew to throw away their luggage and escape, but saw a claw flying from the pirate ship at the same time, hooking on the guard plate of the cargo ship.

On the other side, on the ship of the Redbeard Pirates, the pirates holding hook ropes were touching the fenders of their own ships, pulling the rope desperately, and quickly closing the distance between the two ships.

Knowing that hand-to-hand combat was about to take place, Edmund quickly called Wallon to the bow, and he sat in the stern.

When Wallon just walked to the aisle on both sides, his feet suddenly trembled, and the two ships had already collided. The pirates holding the claws tied the other end of the rope to their own mast, completely entangled the two ships, cannot be separated in a short time.

The artillery on the sides of the two ships stopped firing due to problems such as heat dissipation and distance, and there was a brief moment of calm between the ships, but then, a cannon shot rang out from the pirate ship.

The Redbeard Pirates are not like those low-level pirate gangs who even use looted merchant ships to make do with their own ships. Their ships are real warships, with a length of nearly 30 meters and the widest part of the upper deck. Nearly one-third of the captain's length, the bow and stern decks are so high that the two ships can easily board the enemy ship when they want to meet.

Moreover, not only the artillery was placed on the side, but also the artillery was installed on the ship tower. At this time, it was these small cannons with flexible angles that fired.

As if to send a signal, after the artillery of the pirate ship building fired, a burst of intensive long-range strikes erupted between the two ships. Throwing knives, hatchets, bullets and various weapons were projected out. He and Edmund quickly squatted down, but the inexperienced crew members and rookie pirates on the two ships who didn't know how to avoid them fell down in pieces like cutting wheat, and the heavy casualties were far more than when the two ships fired at each other.

The long-range attack weakened a little, and gradually fierce pirates jumped over. Edmond swung his knife and stepped forward. Although the leading pirates were full of courage, they were still not his opponents. They were cut down one after another by him, but the pirates There are too many thieves, and the overall quality of the sailors of their own cargo ships cannot keep up with the other party, so they cannot prevent more and more pirates from jumping over.

Edmund cut down a pirate again, and was about to boost his morale when a giant figure suddenly jumped towards him.

Edmund nimbly leaped back to distance himself from the opponent. The deck he was standing on just now had a big hole knocked out by a mace.

"Executive Captain Reis!"

Several pirates were making loud noises while avoiding the battlefield between the two of them.

Edmond swung his sword horizontally, knowing that he was a powerful person in front of him, and he should have considerable weight in the opponent's camp, but as long as he defeated the opponent as soon as possible, it would definitely damage the morale of the pirates.

Wallon, who was dragged down the aisle on both sides by the pirates before he had gone far, saw this and wanted to go over to help

It's just that when both Wallon and Edmund focused all their attention on this person who was called the deputy captain by the pirates, they saw that the other party just smiled at Edmund and pointed to his own pirate ship. The direction of the building.

Edmund's thoughts turned, and he subconsciously turned his body sideways.

At the same time, there was a cannon shot from the opposite ship building!

Boom!

The cannonball hit Edmond's feet directly. The strong impact and the cracked deck made him unbalanced. Several bouncing wooden thorns pierced his body close at hand, and at this time the pirate's vice-captain Reis had already waved The mace swept over.

Years of practice saved Edmond's life. Although his ears were ringing and his mind was dizzy, he still subconsciously moved the knife and placed it in front of him, blocking the way of the mace.

But the mace is a heavy weapon, and it is necessary to rely on the extraordinary skill of the knife holder to hit it with a knife. At this time, Edmund was not in good condition, and the hand holding the knife hurt, and the knife had been killed by the wolf. The tooth stick flew out.

The strength of the spiked mace weakened slightly, but it still imprinted on Edmond's body, sending him flying far away. Edmond's fighting instinct made him roll back and forth like a gourd, avoiding lightning. s follow-up attack.

Reis laughed, and was about to continue chasing and killing, when Wallon had already rushed over, took out a pistol and shot him halfway, and while Reis was dodging, he grabbed Edmond and retreated into the aisle, toward the bow of the ship. direction to run.

After Lace overturned several crew members who were in the way, the two of them had disappeared.

Wallon took Edmond to the bow, but found that the situation here was no better than that at the stern.

The pirates have almost occupied the entire bow of the ship. The bloated Hayreddin kept bending over with difficulty, making up for the sailors lying on the ground. It was like the most beautiful music in Hai Leiding's ears, making him smile happily.

Because there is no expert like Edmund to help out, there are not many people standing here at the bow!

Edmund and Valon, one with red hair and the other with bald heads, were very conspicuous. Hailedin, who was cruel to make up the knife, glanced at this moment, and saw the two of them coming out of the aisle. He rushed over with a strange smile.

Edmund's face was pale, and the wound was still bleeding. Seeing this, he gritted his teeth: "The boat can't hold it anymore, I'll stop him, Wallon, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was thrown directly onto the lifeboat on the side of the ship by Wallon as if flying through the clouds.

Edmund fell straight on the wooden boat and let out a muffled grunt, but Wallon had poked his head out from the side of the guard, wiped the rainwater from his bare head, and smiled at him naively: "You go first, I will Come later!"

Edmund's expression changed, but Wallon didn't give him a chance to speak, and cut off the rope fixing the boat with two swishes, causing the boat to fall into the sea.

Wallon turned his head again, and Hayreddin had already rushed to him, but this bloated fat navigator was obviously not as skilled as his cousin Reis, and he was not Wallon's opponent. The two fought for a while, and Hayreddin was inattentive He was cut in the shoulder by Wallon.

Wallon wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack, but suddenly he felt his head go dark, he quickly raised his head, and saw a group of red fur balls that were bigger than a person, like cannonballs, flying over from the pirate ship and hitting his direction .

The thunder light reflected on the fur ball, flashing a metallic luster, and Wallon stepped back quickly, only to see the fur ball opened from the inside in mid-air, revealing Barbarossa who was laughing wildly inside, his hair, beard, and body hair on his chest were in full swing. It's the source of that weird hair!
