Realm of Power

"Captain Cooper, look to the left, it seems we are being watched." On the slowly moving Merchant Alliance merchant ship, a sailor who was pulling the sail shouted loudly to a man lying next to him on the deck. Young people sunbathing in the sun report

"What? Someone is eyeing our ship? Are you kidding me?"

Hearing the sailor's words, the lame young captain jumped up from the deck like a fish. With his big eyes open, he lay on the side of the ship and looked at the sailing clipper not far away.

This was an extremely fast sailing ship. In the white cold fog, it barely scraped along the side of the ship several times. Its extremely arrogant attitude made the young man known as Culber a little hateful. Itchy teeth

"Damn it, if we were on land, I could crush you to death with one finger." The young man raised his middle finger to the sailing battleship passing by and cursed angrily.

If the size and tonnage of the merchant ship were not heavier than that of the sailing clipper, and it was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of speed, Culber would have squeezed over without hesitation and crushed this lucky guy who was showing off his power in front of him.

"Captain, these guys should be new here. I didn't see them when I passed here last month. Could it be that our route was exposed? Otherwise, why would we encounter the Austin sailing battleship here? We are already in the northern seas, and only they use this kind of sailing speedboat that relies on speed to win. We are smuggling now. If we are caught by them, I am afraid it will be very troublesome." A senior sailor shouted in Kubel's ear. Said with some worry

"What are you afraid of? I believe our route should be safe. The other party just regards us as an ordinary fat sheep. Don't forget, we are not ordinary sailors. We are the navy of the Falcon Empire. How can we still be afraid? Such an opponent? Kuber said confidently

"Sir, the other party asked us to stop the ship for inspection." From the mast overhead, a cold and trembling voice came from the lookout hand.

"Ignore him, I don't believe they really dare to attack us," Kuper said nonchalantly before he finished speaking. "Crash!" A clear crashing sound came from the left side of the ship.

The heavy merchant ship swayed left and right on the sea, and Kurt was almost knocked out. Angrily, he turned around and saw the extremely fast sailing speedboat passing by like a cluster of arrows, drawing a hateful white arc on the sea and squeezing the sides of the ship. and separated quickly,

Such a move is obviously intended to use his high-speed impact to force Culber's heavy merchant ship to stop.

"Asshole," Kubo cursed angrily, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his bloodshot eyes, and he squeezed the wooden side of the ship heavily with his hands. Staring fiercely at the sailing warship that looked like a thief, he gritted his teeth.

"Kulber, let's fight back." A sailor who was a naval cadet next to him said angrily. "When have our Falcon Empire Navy ships ever been so idle?"

"No, keep going," Culber said with bulging eyes and gritted teeth, trying hard to resist the urge to fight back. He knew that all he needed to do was give the order. The other party will discover the secrets on this merchant ship. This ship carries a large amount of weapons, and there are even two old-fashioned naval Thors in the ship's cabin. Its value is quite huge.

Culber didn't know who this mysterious cargo was shipped to, but the order from the Navy Department only said that when he arrived at the port of Austin in the north. Naturally, someone will take over the goods, because it involves military secrets of the level of Thor. So if you encounter an interception midway, you cannot continue moving forward. The people responsible for the transportation must sink all the noisy cargo to the bottom of the sea. In other words, if the people are on the ship, the ship will sink if there are people.

As long as you get entangled with one, I'm afraid more Austin sailing clippers will arrive. The combat effectiveness of this sailing clipper is not very good, but in the cold North Sea area, the sailing clipper has the advantage It is still obvious that Austin's navy likes to use the advantage of speed to squeeze its opponents. They are good at installing hard iron and wood rams on the front ends of sailing warships, and use their speed to directly disembowel their opponents.

Efficient speed and flexible maneuverability, coupled with the brutal survival probability in the northern seas, allow this small and fast warship to become a well-deserved killer warship in this sea area with a small and huge cost.

"Will this be a test for the academy?" the student next to him guessed uncertainly, "otherwise how would they know our route?"

"Impossible." Kulber was silent for a while. Years of battlefield experience directly told him that this incident should not be premeditated, but an accident. He shook his head in denial.

"Our ship set off directly from Tihar Port in the south. Everyone on the ship received temporary orders from the Navy Department for assessment. Along the way, we only docked twice when we were supplying supplies in Ruidian. Not to mention Ost. Dingren, even our own people who are responsible for handling the situation may not necessarily know that I When will they pass by here, not to mention how difficult it is to intercept a ship in the vast sea in foggy weather like today? Needless to say, you know, unless they send people there every day Wait here, the blind cat will catch the mouse, otherwise it will be absolutely impossible."

"Did the people in Austin know something and block the sea area in advance?" The veteran who was the sailor said coldly, licking his cracked lips.

"Looking at their relentless pursuit, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get rid of them now that we've collided. There's still fog blocking us. When the sun dissipates the fog, I'm afraid we'll be in real danger. We might as well take the opportunity." Isn't it just a small sailing warship? There are more than 100 of our battle-hardened old brothers on board. It is not as simple as chopping vegetables and melons. After killing them, they throw them into the sea. Who knows what happened?"

"That's a good idea." Culber nodded in agreement, grinned a chilling smile, raised his hands and shouted to the sailors behind him, "Brothers, someone is eyeing us, all go to the cabin to work. When that bastard came over again, we did the damn thing together, pushed the two ballistas up, and directly capsized his sails, giving him no chance to escape."

"Haha, I should have done it a long time ago. Otherwise, you would have thought that our Falcon Navy are all cowards."

Hearing the words of Culber, the temporary captain, there was a burst of approving laughter among the sailors. These sailors are all veterans of the academy who participated in the Navy Department's assessment this time, and they were ordered to fight. Like a fire igniting the blood in their bodies, they received an urgent order from the Navy Department at the end of May, as long as they completed the voyage. They can graduate early and serve in the Imperial Navy,

This is an excellent opportunity, if you let it go. These veterans who were once brave and fearless on land battlefields may fail more than half of the nearly harsh examinations of the Naval Academy because they are difficult to pass. At that time, they will have no choice but to leave the Falcon Army, filled with depression. Taking off the military uniform and identity that represents glory and becoming an ordinary farmer, such a huge contrast will make many veterans unbearable. Faced with this opportunity, most of the veterans in the academy silently chose to carry out the Navy Department's Order,

After training for a while, at the end of June. They were under the auspices of the Admiralty. Secretly boarded the smuggling merchant ship that was about to sail from Tiha to the North Sea. After nearly half a month of adapting to sailing, they staggered into the North Sea. This was their first sea battle. For these stubborn people For veterans, we can only win but not fail.

All the sailors sprang into action. The well-trained pace and methodical demeanor are enough to stun most soldiers. These are all veterans, veterans who have been tumbling in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Even if they take off the army armor, the instinct to fight has already been integrated into their blood.

"Ready to fight, old man, we can fight again." In front of the weapons warehouse of the merchant ship, a veteran held out an infantry crossbow wrapped in oil rifle with tears rolling down his face.

The veteran murmured in a low voice, as if he were treating his own child. His knuckle-like fingers peeled off the oilcloth in circles, revealing the bow handle that had been rubbed many times and was bright and visible. The veteran's eyes were indifferent. The eyes that had died for the first time were filled with tears at this moment. It had been a long time since he had touched these old friends who had accompanied him in his wars.

"one two three....."

Amid a rumbling tremor on the deck, two small ballistas weighing more than 200 kilograms were carried out by the sailors on their shoulders. Everyone ran over and quickly formed a circle around the ballistas. Circle, this is the lover of a senior crossbow driver, at least that’s what the crossbow driver thinks. Apart from his wife and children, this crossbow driver worries him the most.

He was once a senior spearman, but in the battle to attack Rode Kyoto, he encountered the Rode ace guards. He was the only one who survived in the entire squadron. His left hand was cut off and he could no longer fight because I heard that the Navy's Thor rangefinder can be completed with just one hand, so I submitted a request to change it to the Navy.

"Slow down, slow down, you stupid fools with thick hands and feet, how can you treat my Aria like this?" The senior crossbow driver waved his one arm and gestured angrily to the side in the crowd. It wasn't until he struggled to push away the curious bystanders with his hands that everyone dispersed again

"Pa" A bundle of heavy iron crossbow arrows was placed heavily on the deck. A dozen sailors worked together skillfully to pull the strong string of the crossbow and put the heavy iron crossbow arrows into the arrow nest. Next to them, so senior The crossbow driver screamed, his expression as excited as if he were celebrating a festival, "Turn left 11 degrees, I'm going to shoot through three of them with one blow."

"What a lively scene. I haven't felt like this in a long time. The words "prepare to fight" seem to make everyone's souls come alive. Culber, who was on the helm of the ship, sighed secretly with some emotion. He felt that these sailors The momentum they suddenly display is their true self

"Attention on the right, the enemy is coming up." Following the shout from the lookout on the mast, the sound of a blow came from the right again, bang bang, the side of the merchant ship was finally shattered into several pieces by the heavy blow.

The sailing warship of the Asuo people on the opposite side once again attacked in style. This time, the extremely fast sailing warship chose the seemingly empty starboard side of the merchant ship. Several sailors were already standing on the side of the deck, holding hands in their hands. Holding the hook used to climb the side of the ship,

"Seize the ground!" On the sailing warship, Borasus shouted anxiously. He didn't expect this merchant ship to be so tenacious. He even tried to intimidate it several times without letting it stop. The sea area ahead was within the range of the Austinites. , this is their last chance

Following his order, the sailors struggled to throw the hook to the side of the tall merchant ship. Under the gaze of countless people, the hook threw a graceful arc in the air, and then fell from the air. The three-thorn barbs were firmly nailed. On the side of the merchant ship, there was a "creak" and with the sound of several barb ropes tightening, the two ships finally came together tightly.

"That's it now. Everyone rush forward and kill them all. Everything that's left is ours." Borasus howled at the top of his lungs, raising his scimitar high. Shouting loudly,

The sailors behind him were also excited, howling like wild beasts, and climbed up the rope in dense numbers. The starboard side of the merchant ship was almost covered at once, like a group of greedy ants eyeing a huge candy bar.

"Kill them all, kill them all." The Asu'o sailors were so excited that they had already observed them several times just now. The waterline of this merchant ship is extremely low, which proves that the goods on it must be piled high, and the money and silk are first, and all fears are forgotten.

"You are seeking death on your own."

Culber looked at the gleaming hook on the starboard side, and heard the sound of climbing ropes coming from below. He sneered at the corner of his mouth, shouted and raised his hands, "Ballista is ready, no matter who it is, I want to see it." The first enemy turned into two pieces before my eyes"

"No problem." The senior crossbowman's confident reply came from below. Just then. "Killing" an Asuo sailor with a bandana on his head quickly turned over the side of the ship. He excitedly raised the long sword in his hand, with a ferocious look on his face, as if he was ready to shrink the fear in his mind. All the merchant sailors of the regiment were killed,

But the moment he climbed onto the side of the ship. What he saw was not the scene he imagined, but a sharp cold light flashing past his eyes. "Whoosh" The sound of the sharp weapon passing by was so clear and crisp, it seemed like a piece of paper had been pierced in his ear. The sound of the broken bones seemed to be accompanied by the sound of the internal organs being minced.

"What's going on?"

In that tremor, with eyes full of blooming red, the sailor saw a broken body neatly cut open from the waist. The blood-drenched body fell silently from the side of the ship into the rolling sea below, while countless people were climbing up. The climbing companion is looking at me with a look of fear and fear.

"Then... is it me?" The sailor's horrified eyes stared at the body that fell into the sea. The clothes were so familiar and yet so strange.

"Shoot" the blood that blooms like a flower. It seemed that the crossbowmen squatting high on the deck of the merchant ship were ignited, and the bloodthirsty passion in their bodies was released. Dozens of crossbow arrows, like a gust of wind and rain, shot out from dozens of tight heavy infantrymen almost at the same time. The crossbow shot out angrily, bringing a curtain of light across the entire deck of the ship.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nostudies" screams were heard. The Asuos people who were excitedly jumping over the side of the ship were hit head-on. Before many of them had time to stand still, they were shot into the body from the front by powerful crossbow arrows. Blood spattered and their whole bodies were covered with blood. It was carried away by the strong impact and fell into the sea like a falling meteor.

"Ah!" an Assuo man howled miserably. He was directly shot at close range by the powerful penetrating power of the crossbow. His whole body was nailed to the side of the ship at the rear, like a big open character, bright red. Blood and broken organs flowed out of his still twitching body and flowed along the deck of the ship, looking hideous and bloody.

"What's going on?" Watching the sailors who were hit by arrows falling from high places, the Asuo people who were still climbing below were completely confused. An Asuo man hanging on the rope raised his head in surprise, and saw An arrow radiating with cold light was facing him from above. The man above smiled. At the moment when he was stunned, the sound of the bow string vibrating was like a sharp blade cutting through his soul, freezing everything in him. ,

"Am I dead?" With this question, the Assuo sailor watched himself getting farther and farther away from the side of the ship at an extremely fast speed. Finally, he made a splash, and all he saw was a piece of turquoise water. It was so cold. Ah, this was his last consciousness. There was a thumping sound all around, like dumplings being dropped.

"What the hell is going on?"

Borasus on the sailing battleship watched as his men were driven into the sea one by one. Countless arrow clusters were shot down from the side of the merchant ship. More than thirty corpses floated on the surrounding cold sea, quickly forming a chain. With a thin layer of white frost, he was completely stunned when he saw these people who were alive and kicking just now turned into cold corpses.

He is just a hustler who hangs out in the port. He usually acts like a fox and a tiger, but he has seen such a cruel scene there. If Borasus knew that he was provoking a group of murderous lunatics, he would have escaped long ago. Far away. Unfortunately, they don’t know that the identities of wolves and sheep are actually relative. He, the sheep, is trying hard to get closer to the wolves.

This is a massacre. The condescending veteran crossbowman can easily kill any target on the low-sailed warship.

The tragic sound of fighting just now was quickly replaced by a swishing sound like falling from a hole. There were not many sailors on the sailing warship, but after only 20 minutes, no one could stand up anymore.

Looking at the few enemies who were still alive after being hit by arrows, Culber glanced at the sea where the corpses were floating, then at the remaining survivors, and finally ordered with a cold expression, "Kill them all without leaving any one behind."
