After hearing Rudolph's order, Mackenzie hesitated for the first time and did not execute it immediately. Out of the first instinct of the crew, Mackenzie was reluctant to let the Redbud directly wash up on the rocky shore, but after a second's pause,
, Mackenzie hurriedly moved the control lever to let the engine room maximize the power of the steam turbine.
Cooper's living corpse also tried its best to shake the oar, and at one moment the oar almost bent beyond its limit.
Rudolf was right, there was no time to circle around the volcanic island of Romboli, no time to find a suitable place to land, no time to consider whether there was a place to anchor the ship.
Closing your eyes and rushing directly to the shore is the best way to buy time! As for the Bauhinia...
Thirty ships from the Church of the Evil God were also heading towards Longboli Volcanic Island. The Level 6 White Demon Priest was a little surprised: "They are going to rush directly onto the rocks? Are they going to abandon that ship?"
But then I thought about it, if the places were swapped, Wright wouldn't care whether a ship would be destroyed.
"But, what's on that volcanic island? Why do they rush to that volcanic island at all costs?"
The Phoenix Secret Formula is top secret, and the White Devil Church does not know the content of the Phoenix Secret Formula, nor does it know the value of Long Boli Volcanic Island.
At this time, everyone on the Bauhinia was silent. It was obvious that the speed was so fast, almost reaching the peak that the Bauhinia could reach, but the air seemed to freeze.
For more than half a year, ten months, this ship has been with them for ten months.
Ten months ago, they first saw the Carolingian warship that was still under repair in the Port of Codor. Later, they named the ship Bauhinia and began to cross the Salagu Sea.
This ship has accompanied them through many dangers, and now, they will personally send this ship to its grave. For a sea-going ship, being stranded means death, and the coast is her grave.
Cooper whispered: "The Bauhinia, this is my ship..."
"You will still be the captain of the next ship."
Cooper sighed: "I hope to change the name of the next ship. This ship will always exist in our memory as the Redbud."
Rudolf was also sad. This was his largest fixed asset, but now he had to destroy her with his own hands. This was also half of his home after leaving Laimang Town, and now this half of his home is gone.
Romboli volcanic island has an active volcano in the center that is 1,000 meters high.
The height of one thousand meters is nothing among those large mountain ranges. It is surrounded by a flat sea, which makes this active volcano appear to be extremely tall.
The crater of this volcanic island has been spewing billowing black smoke since records began.
Romboli volcanic island erupts once every ten years on average, and the eruption intervals are irregular. Every time it erupts, the entire island is covered with a thick layer of magma.
The volcano is completely black, and the rocks on the seashore are also black. No plants can survive here.
The top of the mountain is a circular crater. The last eruption left a gap in the crater. From the gap, orange-red hot magma is continuously flowing out. The magma slowly flows down the hillside, and finally solidifies and hardens halfway up the mountainside, turning into black.
rock.
The Bauhinia was like an egg hitting a rock, vulnerable in front of the volcanic island of Romboli.
With huge inertia, the Bauhinia rushed towards the rocks on the shore. There was no sand on the shore, only hard and sharp jagged rocks.
"Get ready to go ashore! Hold on tight and don't fall!"
Mackenzie shouted through his bullhorn, telling people to prepare to run aground.
The bottom of the ship, covered with iron sheets, suddenly washed up on the coast. The rocks and the bottom of the ship first collided and then rubbed. The heavy hull pressed against the iron skin. The iron sheet was fragile in front of the stones. The iron sheet was torn, exposing the wooden boards inside.
The performance of the wooden board was not as good as that of the iron sheet, which was torn apart with a fragile groan.
The entire bow was shattered, leaving pieces of iron and wood on the ground.
The hull was still moving forward, and the bottom of the ship rubbed against the rocks on the shore. The entire bottom of the ship was uncovered, exposing the cabin. The walls and pillars of the cabin were also damaged by the rocks.
The heavy steam turbine sank into the ground, moving slower than the forward speed of the ship's hull, and hit the rear wall of the engine room. The impact tore the entire hull apart. The deck of the Bauhinia also broke, and a half-meter-wide gap appeared in the middle.
crack.
The poor Bauhinia became a ruin. The alchemical reinforcement circle on the ship was closed in advance, and the stranded ship could no longer enter the sea. There are no heavy-duty cranes here.
Without any unnecessary sadness, everyone and the corpses ran towards the sea burial island.
The Bauhinia can destroy itself at any cost to buy time, but the Evil God Church cannot. These ships all belong to the church, not to any one priest. There is no private ownership in the church, and everything belongs only to the great Evil God.
"First surround the volcanic island, and then look for a place to go ashore."
Wright looked at the strange rocks all over the volcanic island and felt a little irritated. The strange rocks were large and small, and the pirates were scurrying around among the strange rocks. The White Demon Priest's beam attack could not reach the pirates.
Dozens of ships spread out and surrounded the volcanic island, and the evil god priests began to look for a landing place.
The Annihilation Priests also mastered a lot of magic about water. They found a protruding part of a volcanic island, and after simple processing, they made a simple trestle.
The level 5 priest leads the team, and the priests climb towards the volcanic island. They will drive the pirates together, and then wait for the level 6 priest to take action.
The robes worn by priests of level 4 and below are the representative colors of the church. White Devil Church is white, Trapped Church is black, and Oblivion Church is dark cyan.
Each sect has sent 3 or 2 level 5 priests. The level 5 priests wear red clothes, and the decorative lines on the collars and cuffs are also the colors of their respective churches.
White, black, and cyan teams of different priests climbed to the volcanic island. During the time when the priests landed, the two sides had already been half an hour away.
"Cooper, you are responsible for commanding and organizing. Try to hide and escape as much as possible until I complete the ceremony!"
Without saying anything more, Rudolph broke away from the team and quickly fled to the top of the mountain. The others would find suitable terrain to avoid and delay.
Rudolf's body has been strengthened several times over a thousand meters high mountain, and it will take at least two hours to climb to the top. And after two hours, the sky will be completely dark, ushering in the night.
The surrounding temperature did not decrease as the height increased. The smell of sulfur was everywhere in the hot air. The ground under the feet also became hot. It was obviously a black stone, but black heat was steaming outward.
The soles of the leather shoes were constantly in contact with the black stones, making an unpleasant squeaking sound. The soles were melting and sticking to the stones.
When Rudolph reached the top of the mountain, he saw the entire crater.
Inside the crater is a pool of boiling magma. The magma is bubbling like boiling water. The rocks that occasionally fall into the magma pool turn into flammable materials. After burning, thick black smoke spreads out. Hot air waves hit your face.
It makes people feel like their eyebrows and eyelashes are set on fire.
Rudolph picked a boulder, stood in the center of the boulder, and turned around to draw the Phoenix Hexagram.
