Among so many cult extraordinary items, the extraordinary items of [War] and [Famine] are the most difficult to obtain.
Because [anger] and other negative emotions are pushed to the extreme, condensed into highly concentrated spiritual energy, and then attached to an item, a brand new evil extraordinary object can be cultivated.
But [War] and [Famine] are super expanded versions of [War] and [Hunger]. Without sufficient quality and quantity, the laws of the world will not recognize the birth of a new [War] or [Famine] extraordinary creature.
This kind of attempt to stir up big troubles is often severely attacked by the orthodox churches as soon as it appears.
Just like not long ago, the Famine Knight wanted to starve a boatload of people to death. He used noble priests and nobles as sacrifices to cultivate the demon stomach to an advanced level, but was brutally beaten.
In the end, even the [Devil's Stomach] was converted by Mark (as the price for borrowing the ship from the Church of Light and Night, the Night Priest helped convert it).
[War] Extraordinary objects are also difficult to obtain.
This made Gu Xin very angry.
Yes, this is his home court. The rules he deliberately wrote deprived even strong men of the same level of permission to use extraordinary power.
No matter whose power is banned, the world in [War] will not deprive itself of its own [War] power!
On the scene, with the blessing of [Netherworld Cannon], the Knights' disadvantages were offset, and they still had a small advantage.
When the opponent's three ships had already set off, the knight's retinue was trying to find a way to lift the anchor according to the command, but the speed was not even a little bit slower.
But once the main mast of the opponent's flagship is broken, the opponent's two escorting cruisers are embarrassed. Compared with the flagship with a displacement of 1,000 tons, their firepower is half lower. If there is no flagship to help, they can just come up and fight hard.
The artillery skills of the Knights will really turn them into cannon fodder.
At this time, I don't know who gave the order, and one of the escorting cruisers rushed forward heroically and actively blocked the gap between the Knights' flagship and the pirates' flagship, becoming a shield.
Even though there was a size difference between the cruisers, it was impossible to completely block the flagship, but at least it blocked most of it.
Finally, it sacrificed itself as a human shield, finally giving the pirate flagship a chance to breathe. The pirate captain quickly ordered someone to swing a big ax and completely cut off the broken mast of the flagship.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Conrad controlled the [Netherworld Cannon] and fired continuously.
Even if they are part of the laws of [War], [Netherworld Cannons] cannot exert their destructive power in terms of spiritual power. In this case, they are attached to the original artillery in a manner of possession, looking more like a cannon.
A batch of fully automatic old-fashioned artillery pieces.
"You are responsible for transporting cannonballs and gunpowder." Conrad ordered.
A group of subordinates worked as hard labor, moving the heavy iron ball shells from the gunpowder magazine to the shell box next to the cannon, like moving bricks. At most, they helped change the water in the bucket, and then 'really* hell'
' He watched the artillery operate on its own in a very strange way.
"Boom!" After a loud noise.
The powerful reaction force drove the wheels on the heavy barrel to retreat along the groove. The rollers retreated about one and a half meters, then got stuck on the triangular wood and stopped moving back.
A long pole with a spring-like head flew up into the air, inserted into the barrel of the gun, and pulled out the remaining gunpowder residue that had not been completely burned.
As soon as it came out, another wet toilet brush-like thing was thrust into the barrel to clean out the gunpowder inside.
Immediately afterwards, a packet of explosive powder wrapped in paper jumped into the barrel of the gun first. Immediately, a long needle-like thing was inserted into the top of the barrel along the small hole for ignition. With a "click", it must have been pierced.
gunpowder bag,
Afterwards, the heavy cannonballs in the shell box flew up on their own and jumped into the gun chamber with a "gulu" sound.
The barrel began to rotate on its own and took aim.
Finally, the fuse was lit by a flying torch.
"boom!"
No one was involved in the whole process, and I could only feel the faint spiritual power stirring.
The knights' retinue in the artillery area felt that they were a bit redundant, and any strong adult could do the remaining chores.
They think too much. In fact, even if it is purely physical work, they may not be able to do it well.
For example, on the deck, a group of people adjust the angle of the sail under the command of the chief mate. This requires two groups of people to pull the cables and adjust the main sail and jib to a suitable angle.
But the knights were so clumsy that they couldn't adjust it properly, which made the Rain Festival very angry.
Fortunately, Conrad's artillery fire was powerful, and he maintained an absurd hit rate of 1 out of every 10 shots at a distance of 6,000 meters. If someone else fired a muzzleloader at this distance, wouldn't Renn skin him?
The three ships of the Knights were under the command of about 20 Storm Sons. The ships sailed very bumpyly, and the jibs were not fixed properly, so they seemed to be shaking. At first glance, they looked like novices. I don't know, they were still better than the other side.
How many.
The cruiser that bravely acted as a shield was in disgrace.
After the third salvo, it fired back in desperation.
The range of each other's cannons is the same, but the hit rate is completely different. The most recent cannonball was fired three hundred meters away from the flagship, and it was completely insignificant.
But the pirate cruiser's rudder was directly blown off in the fourth round of shelling.
"Bang!" Several pirates, including the helmsman, and the surrounding wooden railings and rudders, exploded into fragments.
Only two meters away, the pirate captain of the cruiser was stunned for a long time and couldn't say a word.
A desperate scene occurred. The rudder was lost, and the entire cruiser began to spin uncontrollably counterclockwise, missing the flagship by just a few meters.
"The Sam is over." The pirate leader murmured painfully.
The rudder is broken and cannot be repaired on the sea.
Because the ship's hull was not fixed, it couldn't even fight back. The Sam was like a funny clown, spinning around in circles. Before the enemy finally took care of it, it was the saddest spectator on the battlefield.
At this time, the pirates on the Sam had already jumped ship, and they were trying to swim to the other two ships. As long as they got on the ship, they could do anything.
Unfortunately, the pirate flagship and the remaining cruiser will not wait for them.
After cutting off the main mast and regaining mobility, the pirate flagship used all its strength to grab the upper hand T position.
In order to achieve his goal, the pirate leader did not hesitate to let the remaining cruiser go ahead.
Unfortunately, bad luck struck after one thousand meters.
"Dong——"
A huge banging sound!
The flagship of the Knights, which was traveling at a speed of 6 knots, hit the pirate cruiser which was sailing at 8 knots with one shot. Not only did it survive, but it was also bombarded near the waterline.
This is the largest caliber 32-pounder gun on the battlefield!
A huge hole of about one square meter was blasted on the spot.
"Wow!" A large amount of seawater poured into the bilge of the ship.
"No way! Abandon ship! Abandon ship immediately!"
There is no such thing as a sealed cabin in a wooden warship, so there is no solution for such a huge hole. In less than half a minute, the ship tilted seriously to the left. The pirates screamed and jumped off the ship, and swam out like crazy.
It's just that most of the pirates couldn't escape the huge vortex created when the ship sank, and were sucked into it...
The pirate leader's heart went cold.
Since his ship had only one square sail and one jib left, it was moving so slowly that it only managed a humiliating speed of 4 knots.
The cost of your own ship not being able to grab the T-position is that the opponent will naturally grab it.
"Damn! If it weren't for those gunners! How could we lose to a group of amateurs!" the pirate leader wailed desperately.
Here, looking through the monocular at the desperate pirate faces on the opposite side, Conrad showed a bloodthirsty expression for the first time in a long time.
"Have you prayed? Have you written your suicide note? No? That won't work either! Please go die!" This time Conrad asked a son of the storm to help raise the banner.
The next moment, the three ships opened fire from bow to stern with more than fifty cannons.
“Bang bang bang!”
Even though there was a retreat groove similar to a derailleur, the continuous huge reaction force still caused the three ships to slump and move more than a meter sideways to the other side.
The accuracy of the new gunner is definitely not as good as the fully automatic [Netherworld Cannon], but it is better because it has more cannons.
Having too many guns sometimes means you can do whatever you want.
When 72 artillery pieces fired a salvo at a distance of 1,200 meters, more than 20 iron lumps hit the bow of the thieves' flagship.
"Bang bang bang!"
Not to mention that the wooden bow couldn't withstand such a heavy blow, even the strongest collision angle was broken into two pieces on the spot. Several iron bullets hit the deck and turned into ricochet. The scene was a bit like a water drop.
The iron ball bounced on the deck causing continuous destruction.
Whatever was touched, no matter whether it was a gun mount lying across the deck or a pirate, was smashed and blown away like a bowling ball, leaving long bloody paths.
Three minutes later, the fully automatic loading Knights flagship took the lead and opened fire again.
This time, a certain artillery shell probably hit the gunpowder compartment of the pirate flagship. The pirate flagship exploded into two pieces on the spot due to the horrific explosion of the ammunition compartment. Countless pieces of human flesh and sawdust fragments flew all over the sky and sea.
.
At this moment, time and space froze.
"Ah?" Conrad was stunned for a moment, and found that the bodies of himself and his colleagues were flying up under the pull of a mysterious force. In the blink of an eye, the ship around him disappeared, and the surrounding lights and shadows flashed quickly.
After regaining consciousness, he was surprised to find that he and his colleagues had arrived at the huge balance tray on the horizon.
"Good boy! Well done!" Renn patted Conrad on the shoulder first, and then saw Judge Anthony who arrived first.
Anthony watched the balance tilt slightly towards the Knights and shrugged: "It's very safe here. Except that you can't get out, it's no different from the outside world. I suggest you take a rest first and eat and drink when you need to."
"good."
From Captain Lonnie’s side, there were endless cheers.
After two consecutive draws, the situation has completely developed in the direction that is favorable to the Knights.
Although the first two defeats resulted in the loss of over a thousand men, the third and fourth victories not only restored morale, but also allowed the Knights' true elite to be retained for the fifth decisive battle.
Not to mention all the strong men in Lonnie's direct lineage, the main force of Abner and Judge Tony have not been touched, not to mention the mysterious and unparalleled smart Mark Destiny.
Lonnie was so proud: "Guxin! Get off here!"
