Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 128 Artillery and Magic

Boom!
After a loud noise was heard from the pirate ship.

Moon saw a huge black cannonball fall in front of the Seagull.

Water splashed more than ten meters high, soaking even the people on the Thorn in the distance.

"Everyone, get ready, seize the wind, adjust the direction, and speed up!"

Gold's face turned very ugly after seeing the shells fall into the sea.

While frantically directing the flag bearer to convey orders to the other two ships, he drew his sword and commanded all the crew members on the Thorn.

Boom!
Boom!
After the pirate ship in the distance discovered that its prey was about to escape, it fired two more cannonballs.

"There's something wrong with this pirate ship!"

First mate Karen was standing next to Moon at this time. He was responsible for protecting the magician under Gold's orders.

“Why is it wrong?”

Moon didn't know much about pirates, but when he saw the cannonballs so close to the Thorn, he became increasingly nervous.

"On the sea, ships are more valuable than anything else, so pirates rarely use artillery to attack."

While First Mate Karen was explaining, seven or eight more shells flew over.

The accuracy of these shells was not very high, but due to the advantage in numbers, they still hit the mast of the Goddess.

"Damn it! Whose ship is this!"

The mast was broken, and the Goddess gradually distanced herself from the two ships in front.

However, because the Thorn and the Seagull were fully loaded with cargo and personnel, and the wind was against them, their speed was far slower than that of the pirate ship.

When the pirate ship appeared, Gold ordered full speed ahead.

The veterans in the second-floor cabin also came to the deck.

They all gathered around when they saw Moon.

"Although there was some panic, everyone stayed downstairs. I asked Brad to guard the cabin door to prevent any accidents."

When they saw all the crew members taking action, the five veterans including Hall all dressed neatly and came out with weapons in hand.

Some crew members saw them coming out and wanted to intercept them.

However, seeing the strong murderous intent in these veterans, no one dared to step forward and speak.

However, the people who had been living in the lower cabin became panicked when they learned that pirates were coming.

Fortunately, Gold ordered someone to lock the cabin door, preventing these people from coming out to cause trouble.

"We'll just stay here and not get involved with the crew's affairs."

After seeing that everyone had arrived, Zalan gave the order.

Although those who came out of Veteran Alley all had good skills in killing the enemy, they were obviously not as good as these sailors in operating ships.

"Ok!"

Hall and the other four did not question Zalan's order. After agreeing, they stood in a circle around Moon.

Although Gold's three ships were merchant ships, they were also equipped with firearms to deal with unexpected situations at sea.

Among them were cannons and a batch of muskets.

When Gold discovered that the Thorn was much slower than the pirate ship, he immediately ordered his men to fire back.

boom! boom! boom!
Deafening cannon fire rang out from the deck, and Moon only felt a roar in his ears.

A distance of ten nautical miles, coupled with artillery with enormous destructive power.

These factors make the magic that Moon currently possesses almost ineffective.

Boom!
A cannon landed nearby, and Zalan prostrated himself on the ground, holding Moon's head.

"We have to do something, otherwise we will definitely be caught up."

After getting up from the deck, Moon looked at Zalan.

He didn't know what others were thinking, but Moon himself would never let anyone hurt anyone from Veteran Alley.

After hearing Moon's roar, Zalan was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily in agreement.

"Okay! You decide what to do, I'll go inform Gold!"

"We have to get close to each other! Otherwise, if we're too far away, my magic won't work at all."

After hearing Mu Wen's crazy plan, Zalan went to inform Gold without any hesitation.

"No! We are a merchant ship, and our artillery is not as powerful as the enemy's. If we are boarded by pirates, we can only wait for death!" Gold was actually hesitant. He knew that his ship would definitely not be able to outrun the enemy, so he wanted to use artillery to block it.

But luck didn't seem to be on his side.

Before Gold could make up his mind, a cannonball came and hit the bottom of the Thorn's cabin directly.

Everyone on the deck was shaken by the shock.

"damn it!"

After Gold steadied himself by holding onto the side of the ship, he cursed loudly and looked at Moon who was staring at the pirate ship not far away.

"Okay, let's do as Lord Scarlett says!"

As Zaran returned, Gold renewed the sailing orders.

"Turn around! Full sail!"

The crew members all hesitated at this sudden order to commit suicide.

These people have not been tempered by the military, and they will not immediately execute orders when they know that they are not in their favor.

"What are you all standing there for? We have a distinguished magician on board, victory will definitely belong to us!"

After Gold yelled, the crew members all looked at Moon at the same time.

Although Gold ordered Moon's identity to be kept secret, the crew inevitably guessed something after sailing for so many days.

Moon knew that he needed to rely on these crew members at this time and he had to give them confidence.

He walked out of the circle of veterans and raised his right hand high.

He didn't know what this action meant, he just copied the gesture that Gold had just used to issue the order.

"Victory will definitely belong to us!"

At this moment, Moon only regretted that he had not learned to speak loudly. His voice during the voice change period made this sentence seem a lot weaker.

However, the crew's reaction was completely beyond Moon's expectations.

After seeing Moon really come out, every crew member no longer hesitated and began to turn the Thorn around.

The wind direction instantly changed from headwind to tailwind, and the huge white canvas was directly blown by the sea breeze.

Everyone on the boat was startled by this sudden change.

It wasn't just the people on the Thorn who were blinded; the pirates were also startled by their prey's turn.

But when they saw that the Thorn merely turned and did not fire, they all burst into laughter.

"The fat fish has landed in the net! Hey guys, get ready for a feast!"

"Oh~~~"

After the Thorn turned, its speed suddenly increased, and the pirate ship also headed towards it.

The distance between the two ships was closing rapidly.

Moon could gradually hear the happy roars coming from the pirate ship.

"Help me find the location of their powder kegs, don't miss any of them!"

"Ok!"

Moon knew that Gold's three ships would definitely not be able to outrun the pirates, and his method of solving the problem was actually the same as Gold's.

It's just that Gold wanted to use the cannons on the Thorn to stop the pirate ship.

But Moon wanted to use the pirates' own artillery to attack himself.

"Found it. It's on the left side under the middle mast, aft of the gun."

After Gold saw the artillery through the telescope, Moon had already taken out his wand and pointed it in that direction.

The distance was very far, and Moon was unsure whether his spell could hit accurately.

However, Moon's research on the [Fire Spell] is no longer just new.

Moon fine-tuned the spell more than a hundred times before the [Hand-Warming Spell] was born. For this purpose, he also wrote a two-inch record manual.

All these turned Moon's small [Fire Spell] into a bloodthirsty spell.

When Moon recited the spell, flames instantly appeared not far from the gunpowder barrels on the pirate ship.

There was no explosion.

It doesn't matter, let the flame
Bigger!
