king of the castle

Chapter 326

"Fire!" A pirate finally noticed the abnormality on the water surface, and shouted in horror: "The river is on fire!"

The other pirates didn't take this guy's words to heart at first. 【】How could there be a fire on the river?What nonsense!However, they soon discovered that the situation was wrong, and the blazing flames rushed towards the fleet along the river, and soon surrounded the first few ships.

The world of Torenzo is not technologically advanced, and even the largest ships are constructed entirely of wood.When the dragon's blood flowed down the river before, a lot of it had stained the ship's side, but now it burned the pirate ship very quickly.

Fire dragon blood is more powerful than gasoline on earth. It is not only extremely flammable but also very flame-resistant. After being ignited, the fire is fierce and difficult to extinguish, and it also burns for a very long time.The pirates on those ships screamed anxiously, but there was nothing they could do about the situation. They could only watch as the flames gradually engulfed their own ships, quickly spreading from the outside to the entire ship.

It was definitely not just the few boats sailing in the front that suffered. As the flames ignited all the dragon blood floating on the river, more pirate ships were caught in the raging fire.Especially for the many ships in the fleet department that are still entangled, as long as one ship burns, it will soon affect other ships around.

It didn't take long for the majestic pirate fleet to become a large pile of bonfires floating on the Tula River.The big ships made a "cracking" sound, and the masts fell messily with the burning sails, causing the flames to spread to a wider area.

Although floating ships may seem less vulnerable to fire, wooden ships are actually the most vulnerable to fire.If you are trapped on a burning boat, there is no escape on the open water.Under normal circumstances, the pirates could still escape by diving.But now the entire river is burning, and the pirates who want to jump into the river are also hesitant.

However, as the fire on the ship became more and more intense, the situation did not allow the pirates to hesitate any longer.Driven by the flames, many sailors risked jumping to the surface of the burning river, trying to swim away from the burning hell.However, the burning dragon blood covered a large area of ​​water, and no one could hold their breath for such a long time.Many people drowned under the water like this, and some people instinctively put their heads out of the water to breathe because they couldn't hold on anymore, but they would be burned by the fire on the surface of the water as soon as they emerged, and they still couldn't escape death in the end.

Only the last few ships of the entire pirate fleet survived.These guys were lucky, because they were at the end of the fleet, so they didn't fall into that chaos.After discovering that the Tula River was on fire, these pirate ships quickly turned their rudders and sailed towards the sea, and finally escaped unharmed.

Compared with these amazingly lucky pirates, others are much more unlucky.For most of the pirates caught in the sea of ​​fire, the Tula River at this time has become a veritable death trap.Whether you stay on the boat or jump into the Tula River, there is no way out.

These pirates originally wanted to come to Kent to establish their prestige and make a good fortune by the way, but Roger used fire to attack them.A fire not only turned the pirate ship into firewood, but also turned the menacing pirate into a barbecue.From the beginning to the end, the pirates didn't fight the enemy at all, and they all became victims of the raging fire.I don't know how many pirates died in such a grievance, even the captain of the Sea Dragon, One Eye, was no exception.

As the flagship of the pirates, the Sea Dragon was already surrounded by the fleet.When the fleet was in chaos, the Sea Dragon was squeezed between many ships without any suspense.In addition, the Shanghai Dragon is not flexible enough due to its large size, so when the fire broke out, there was no possibility of escaping.The raging fire turned more than 200 sailors on the Cyclops and Sea Dragon into roast pigs, and no one survived on the huge ship.

"Huh... burn it!" Roger was still standing on the bow of the Queen Mary, looking at the raging fire in front of him and muttering to himself: "It's getting hotter and hotter, the fire my brother set is burning so hot , the business at the terminal will definitely be better in the future..."

Roger was right about this point. After the war, there were indeed more and more merchant ships berthing at the docks in Kent Town. It didn't take long for Roger to expand the docks again to allow a large number of merchant ships to dock.Of course, the development of the dock area is not because Roger lit such a big fire on the river, but because he has wiped out many pirates, sailing at sea is safer than before, and more businessmen choose to go by sea. .

The unexpected development of the dock area is something to talk about, and Roger didn't think so much right now, he just hoped that most of the invading pirates could be wiped out and he would be satisfied.At this time, Roger was concentrating on feeling the power of the soul entering his body. Several small light spots gathered from the water surface to Roger's side like moths on a flame, and spun into his body.

Although the pirates were either burned to death or drowned alive, they were not directly killed by Roger and his soldiers, but because the fire dragon blood burning on the river was produced by the castle hub, the magic apprentice who ignited the fire was also trained by the castle hub , so except for a very small number of pirates who died due to other accidents, the supreme law counted most of the pirates who were burned to death and drowned on Roger.

For Roger, this is naturally a very good opportunity.It was just setting off a fire. Not only did he get rid of the turmoil in Kent Town, but he also got so much soul power that he even wanted to thank these pirates.

Robert stood a few steps behind Roger, watching the pirate ships still burning on the river, and admired the lord lord to the extreme.

This is the famous Red Dragon Pirates!On the vast sea, this is a name that makes all merchant ships tremble with fear. Even the kingdom's fleet tried to destroy this pirate group several times, but they all failed.As long as a general merchant ship is targeted by a pirate ship, it is equivalent to being sentenced to death.And Roger actually let such a large fleet be wiped out just by talking and laughing. This is probably something that even the commander of the Kingdom's fleet can't do.

At this moment, Robert also planned to take refuge with Roger with the Queen Mary.Although he owns such a big ship, he is nothing in the eyes of the nobles.If you can become the subordinate of a capable nobleman like Roger, it will be much more convenient for you to do anything.Needless to say, at least in the dock area of ​​Kent Town, the Queen Mary must be well taken care of.

With such an idea in mind, Robert also secretly made up his mind to make a good impression in front of Roger, so that when he proposed to seek refuge with the lord, the other party would be more likely to agree, right?

Roger didn't know that the "bad spirit" in his body had conquered the captain behind him, and he was still concentrating on the situation on the river.

After burning for so long, the fire dragon's blood has almost been burned, and there are only a few places on the river where there are still flames that are about to be extinguished.All the ignited pirate ships were left with burning wreckage, charred wood undulating on the water, and many of them were still emitting light smoke.The most violent time of the fire has passed, and except for a few places, the Tula River has been restored to flow, allowing relatively large ships to pass.

"Robert, send two people to Kent Town to deliver my message to Bonnie Knight." Seeing that the time has come, Roger said without a scratch: "Tell Bonnie Knight, the Queen Mary and I will go to sea for a while. Time will come back, let her not worry, and manage my territory well."

Hearing that the lord actually wanted to take his own boat to the sea, Robert, who was trying to please him, couldn't help being ecstatic, and quickly sent the second officer and two smart sailors ashore to report the news.Robert himself ordered the sailors to lift the anchor and raise the sails, and personally steered the Queen Mary to slowly sail downstream.

As the Queen Mary got closer to the "fire scene", the tragic extent of the fire was more clearly displayed in front of everyone.Whether it was the wreckage of the burning ship, the fallen mast or the charred corpse, they all told Roger how successful his fire attack was.

While most of the flames have now been extinguished, the heat could still be felt as the Queen Mary passed near the wreck of the pirate ship.From this point alone, it can be known that the fire was so severe that the people on board had no hope of surviving.

Robert carefully steered the Queen Mary through the wreckage of the pirate ship, trying not to touch anything that would affect the navigation.The lord, whom Robert wanted to curry favor with, was the captain. Of course, he had to try his best to show off his sailing skills, so as to make a good impression on Roger.If the Queen Mary hits something and even frightens the lord, then Robert's future will be ruined.

Although Robert is keen on clinging to the powerful, his sailing skills are very good.Under his command, the sailors worked together to raise and lower the sails, and from time to time someone used a long pole to open a large piece of wood in front of the ship to keep the passage open.Although the speed was relatively slow along the way, it passed the "fire scene" smoothly. During the whole process, the Queen Mary did not even have a relatively heavy collision with the floating obstacles, and sailed very smoothly.

Robert's performance also made Roger nod secretly. Although he still doesn't know the character of the captain, his ship control skills are unquestionable.

In fact, Robert was also very satisfied with his performance. After the Queen Mary sailed into the sea, he breathed a sigh of relief before handing over the command to the first officer. We have already entered the sea, may I ask... where do you plan to go next?"

Roger pointed forward and said loudly: "Of course we will go straight to the pirates' lair and kill them all!"
