my age of magic

Chapter 947 48. The Battle of the Port
The night hides all invisible evils, and the pirates who escaped from the death row of the prison sneaked through a banana forest, along the shadow of a reef by the sea, and sneaked towards the pier.

After they regained their freedom, they didn't want to stay in Connerson City and continue to do evil. Instead, they sneaked to the pier outside the city in groups. It seemed that they wanted to seize the boats and go to sea quietly.

These pirate leaders looked around cautiously. Some were wearing blood-stained rebel leather armor, some were wearing civilian clothes, and some were naked from the waist up, wearing only a pair of tattered prison trousers, and the iron chains on their bodies were dragging on the ground. , making a 'jingling' sound.

They were like a group of humanoid beasts, trotting all the way through the banana forest. The pirates chopped off a bunch of green bananas from the banana tree, carried them on their shoulders, and ate them while running.

We lay on a slope at the edge of a banana grove. The pirates got out of the banana grove and ran under the slope. They groped along the coastline to the pier.

When they were far away, a sailor poked his head out of the weeds and whispered to his companions, "They must be starving. Don't they have food in Connerson Island Prison?"

Another sailor stroked his bald head with the sea moire pattern, poked his head out from the grass and said, "I heard people say that the food in Connerson Island Prison is pretty good, but it doesn't look too good!"

The third sailor came out from the grass, with grass leaves on his head and blue seaweed on his face, showing a complacent expression, and said to the two people in front: "Why are we talking about this? Not a slave trader anymore, no more!"

The two sailors in front turned their heads to look at him at the same time, and asked blankly, "Then what are we?"

The sailor with moss on his face racked his brains and pondered for a long time before he said: "We are...we...are freedom fighters at sea against the rebel forces of Marquis Boris!"

"Give me some peace!" Kalancuo's yelling voice came, and the surroundings immediately fell silent.

……

For some unknown reason, the rebels on the port pier did not immediately send reinforcements after they discovered that the city was in chaos.

Maybe he was waiting for the distress signal from Connerson City, maybe he was waiting for the order of the rebel consul in Connerson City, maybe he wanted to wait until dawn, maybe the current commander on this ship was a coward, Either way, it's good news.

Deborah spread her wings and slid unscrupulously in the night sky. She circled a few times over the pier, but did not find the trap set by the rebels at the pier. She flew back in a hurry and told me that everything at the pier was normal.

There are two Persian scimitars hanging on this girl's waist, and some red, green and green gemstones are inlaid on the scabbard. Only those slave traders like to use this kind of weapon with weird blades. Deborah is obviously on the boat , was deeply influenced by these sailors, and believed that a scimitar was enough to be majestic.

With two heavy scimitars on her shoulders, when Deborah walks, her steps are particularly strenuous.

I took a wrong look at Karan next to me, she spread her hands and said to me, "She said that, she looks like a pirate!"

"..." I don't know what to say. It seems that the nature of this harpy is still constantly guiding her to the opposite side of the world.

……

When I walked three kilometers with the sailors on the "Slave Trader" to the pier, there was silence on the pier, only shadows on the sailboat. There is no arrangement to garrison on the pier, just huddled on the sailboat.

I originally just wanted to set up some magic traps on the only way between the pier and Connerson City, but I was distressed to find that there was a flat open land and a not-so-dense banana forest between the two. This area is blocked by traps, even if I donate all my magic scrolls, it may not be enough.

There are several wind lanterns hung high on the quiet port, swaying gently with the sea breeze, the shadows of the light poles are constantly shaking with the swaying wind lanterns, the waves are beating on the cornerstone of the pier, those pirates have sneaked into the water, Swim to a five-masted sailing ship.

Although the night is dark, my five senses are much sharper than ordinary people, so it is easy to find the pirate leaders on the sea with only a gleam of light. I guess they may steal one or two lifeboats, but watching them walk along the anchor The big chains are constantly climbing upwards.

One, two, three... More than 20 pirates climbed onto the five-masted sailing ship at the same time, obviously not as simple as trying to cut the ropes of those lifeboats-they all climbed onto the ship, apparently wanting to seize the five-masted sailing ship sailboat.

The pirates climbed onto the ship one after another, but they never expected that when they thought their plan had succeeded, the lights on the five-masted sailing ship were brightly lit, and the sailors on the rebel side held longbows and spearguns, all aiming at the deck. Twenty or so pirates and the captain of the rebel army stood on the ship's tower, stretched out their hands condescendingly, and turned their raised thumbs to the bottom.

Thousands of arrows fired.

The pirates who are eligible to be put on death row are certainly not ordinary people. Of course, those ordinary pirates will have their heads cut off immediately. Whether they live or die, the merits they can get are not much different.

But these pirate leaders are different. The living pirate leaders can not only receive more merits, but they also hold the wealth bestowed on them by the sea, so these pirate leaders can continue to live in the prison of Connerson Island City .

Moreover, the pirates who can become the leader all have some real skills in their hands.

Therefore, when the captain of the five-masted sailing ship set up an ambush circle and waited quietly for the pirates to take the bait, it was actually a big step towards the 'gate of death'.

'shield wall'

A phantom of a shield appeared in the air, and then lined up in a neat row on the deck. The pirate leaders rushing forward were all protected by shields. On the contrary, many of the pirates walking behind were injured by bows and arrows. .

I never expected that among this group of pirate leaders, there was actually a powerful one-turn shield warrior.

There were powerful harpoons hidden in the flying arrows, and three harpoons shot into the bodies of the three pirates. The huge inertia made those harpoons firmly nailed to the deck after passing through the pirates' bodies, making them Those pirates on the harpoon howled and struggled painfully on the harpoon.

These spear guns are similar to the bed crossbow. In addition to being able to catch large sea fish, they are also big killers in naval battles.

These pirate leaders fought against the incoming arrows on the five-masted sailing ship. The pirate gang with less than 20 people actually killed the sailors on the rebel ship. This is still with the support of archers Get a huge advantage.

……

Seeing this scene, Kalancuo and I looked at each other, and suddenly felt that things had taken a huge turn.

Originally, we wanted to set up some magic traps between the pier and Connerson City to delay the support of the rebels on the ship. Who knew that when we walked over, we found that the rebels on the ship had no intention of supporting them at all.

Originally, we were still speculating about various reasons, but we didn't expect that a group of pirates who escaped from the prison disrupted our rhythm, and they were the first to touch the port. A sailboat, such a five-masted sailboat, must have at least a hundred sailors on board to sail normally.

The pirates fought against hundreds of rebels on their own, and when they boarded the deck, they were ambushed.

Even so, the subsequent counterattack of the pirates actually achieved some results.

Seeing the retreat of the rebel sailors on the ship, I suddenly understood that although there are nine large sea ships moored in the port of Connerson, the island city of Connerson is actually very empty, and almost all the elite soldiers are They were taken away and formed a huge fleet to chase Earl Evan, and the group of people who stayed in Connerson City were actually a group of stragglers with no combat effectiveness at all.

In this case, since those pirate leaders can turn upside down a five-seater sailing ship with twenty or so people, then our group of people will certainly have the power to fight against these sea ships.

Recalling the surge of people at the gate of Connerson City and the islanders in the dark night, I didn't expect Earl Evan to have such a high prestige on Connerson Island, so he just asked his trusted Captain Just to return to the island and greeted: Those who are willing to follow me, go to sea with me!
Unexpectedly, there are countless people who are willing to go out to sea with the ship, and a few days ago, Captain Just killed a whole ship, and when he returned to the island, there are so many people willing to follow, just want to Thinking about it feels really weird.

"Let's try to snatch a boat too?" Kalancuo stared at the Galen-class sailboat with a length of more than [-] meters on the pier not far away, and took the lead in expressing my thoughts.

I nodded.

Kalancuo turned around and waved his hand, leading more than a hundred sailors on the Slave Trader, approaching the pier little by little.

At this time, the lights on the nine sea ships were lit one after another. The sailors on the other ships found that there were only twenty or so pirates who came to attack, and regained some confidence in this battle. They stood by the side of the ship. Then, under the cover of the archers, he jumped onto the gangplank and flocked from other ships to the five-masted sailing ship, wielding long knives.

On the rebel side, there were no first-ranked fighters in the lineup. These ordinary rebel fighters had nothing to do but deliver food to the experienced pirate leader.

Those pirate leaders circled along the seaside reef all the way, touched the stern of the ship in shallow water when they got close, and climbed onto the ship along the big iron chain of the anchor, so there was no hindrance.

And I tried to forcibly capture a Galen-class sailing ship. Kalancuo directly led a group of sailors and rushed into the pier. When I was just approaching the Galen-class sailing ship on the far left, I was spotted by the lookout post on the mast. , just hit the range of the archers, and a group of archers immediately appeared on the ship's side more than [-] meters high. They stood neatly on the side of the ship, only to hear someone shout: "Shoot the arrow!" '

A wave of arrows rained down from the night sky, and Kalancuo stopped immediately. The sailors also stood behind Kalancuo alertly. They all raised their round shields to resist the arrows falling from the sky. , The arrows of these stainless steel arrow clusters can penetrate the hardwood round shields in the hands of the sailors, and the arrow tips pass through the wooden shields, and several sailors who rushed to the front fell down.

Unexpectedly, these ships still have some defensive measures, but this level of arrow rain coverage seems to make it difficult for us to move forward.

At this time, we must rush to the ship decisively and quickly. Once our charge is forced to retreat, it will not only increase the confidence of the rebels on the ship, but also lose the best opportunity, so there is no way at this time Retain strength, I release 'potential'.

The golden sea slowly spread from my feet to the surroundings, and the sailors looked at the abnormality on my ground in horror.

Afterwards, a dark cloud that kept rolling appeared behind me, and some small electric snakes were scurrying back and forth in the dark cloud. At this time, my affinity for water magic was greatly improved, and the control and perception of water magic improved a lot .

Luka stood in front of me, blocking the arrows from the front for me.

A light blue hexagram formation appeared under my feet, and I was chanting a lengthy spell - 'Ice Wall'.

Two tall ice walls formed slowly from both sides of the team. The nearly 20-meter-high ice walls completely protected our left and right flanks.

Afterwards, another wall of water gathered in front of me, and after I cast spells again and again, it actually condensed into a step piled up with ice cubes, leading from the pier to the deck of the Galen.

The Tauren Luka stood beside me, covering his face with one hand to block the rain of arrows, and holding the Moonblade Ax in the other hand, striding forward.

The 'black iron full-cover armor of golden essence magic pattern' made him not afraid of these arrows at all. He stood in front of him like a wall, and the sailors followed him, stepping on the ice steps and rushing forward. To the deck of a Galen-class galleon.

I was surrounded by three ice shields, and with a Shura battle ax in one hand, I released a few 'ice arrows' from time to time, freezing those archers who were hiding on the ship tower and shooting cold arrows into ice slag.

Katerina followed me all the way, and never went far. All the rebels who wanted to rush to me were all cut off by her with the sword breaker.

On the contrary, Kalancuo carried a double-edged sword and led a group of sailors and the rebels on the deck to strangle together. Wherever he went, blood flowed into rivers.

Sure enough, even though the rebels had the advantage in numbers and the support of archers, they still couldn't stop our wave of charge.

The main reason is that this Galen-class sailing ship doesn't even have a single-level warrior. Facing the two orc warriors wearing magic patterns, Kalantso and Luka, almost no one can fight against them. Block their full blow.

Although we also had some casualties, we quickly took the initiative on the battlefield. Seeing that we had seized the entire ship, the rebels on board jumped into the sea to escape.

The other seven sailboats were under the commotion, and unexpectedly protruded huge oars from the side of the hull, and the anchors at the tail were slowly raised, and more than forty oars were inserted into the sea water and rowed vigorously. They left the port one after another and fled to the sea.
