The night was as dark as ink, and the sea was filled with mist. The moonlight, which was as bright as frost not long ago, seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze, and became increasingly dim. Lights were lit everywhere on the ship, and in that orange-yellow halo
In the middle, people were horrified to see countless murlocs with skin as pale as water ghosts, holding weapons between their teeth and crawling towards the deck from all directions along the gaps and bulges along the side of the ship with bare hands!
The ship immediately became a mess, and the sailors who had not yet had time to put on their clothes rushed out of the cabin at the sound of the horn. Some of them were shirtless, and many of them only wore a water jacket.
Not to mention the armor. On the other hand, the murloc army was all wearing armor made from huge seashells and turtle shells, which made them look taller and taller in comparison.
The fishmen effortlessly killed the first batch of sailors who rushed onto the deck. The originally calm sea under the moonlight immediately turned into a field of bloody Shura. Qi Ziyin, who heard the sound of the horn, poked his head out of the cabin.
Come, but before he could see the situation outside clearly, he saw a cold light flashing from the corner of his eyes, and it turned out that a fishman was waving the knife in his hand to chop him on the head!
The young man quickly drew his neck back, only to hear a "click" sound, and the blade made of whale bone rubbed his hair bun and slashed past him, hitting the door panel hard. The fishman pulled out the knife several times but was unable to pull it out.
, then he took out a protective short blade from his waist and continued to attack Qi Ziyin.
The young man hurriedly took two steps back to avoid the deadly weapon in the opponent's hand. However, this avoidance also made him further away from the Yin Ya on the stand beside the door!
Suddenly, Qi Ziyin's feet were tripped by something unknown, and he stumbled and fell to the side of the couch. The fish-man also took the opportunity to bully him. In desperation, the young man had to pick up the thing that tripped him on the ground with his backhand, and thought about it.
Without thinking, he threw it hard at the opponent's face.
There was just a "bang" sound, and the object hit the short blade in the opponent's fish-man's hand, and it broke instantly. It turned out that it was a chamber pot that the young man used at night, and the excrement in it immediately splashed all over the opponent's body.
"How dare you, a landlander boy, humiliate me with your urine!"
The fish-man was stunned at first, and then became more and more angry. However, before he could continue his attack, he saw a figure suddenly flash at the door, and then struck the fish-man on the neck with a hand knife, knocking him unconscious on the spot.
.
"Is Young Master Ziyin okay?"
Behind the visitor was another person, silver-haired and trembling, it was Mo Chen and Mo Zeming. The master and servant quickly entered the cabin, and then moved cabinets to block the door.
With the help of the other party, the boy in white stood up again and asked quickly: "What happened outside?"
"The little master was stargazing on the deck after nightfall, but it gradually started to fog up. Just as we were about to go back to the cabin, we heard a sudden sound of a horn, and were soon forced to retreat by the murlocs who came onto the ship. Just in time
I saw this guy smashing your cabin door, so I followed him."
As Mo Chen said this, he took out the Yin Ya from the rack and was about to stab the fishman who was unconscious on the ground in the back, but was held down by the young man in white:
"Wait a minute!"
"What's wrong, Young Master Ziyin? These monsters have killed countless people, why do you want to keep them alive?"
"Killing him won't help. It's better to tie him up and lock him in the cabin. Maybe we can get something out of him."
Qi Ziyin insisted on keeping the prisoners, and then continued to ask about the situation on the deck.
"I heard that Miss Leng has ordered all the old, weak, women and children on the ship to hide in the lower warehouse. Now she and Commander Fan are personally leading the people to organize a resistance at the stern of the ship. We originally planned to find them and join them together.
We are discussing countermeasures. However, the deck is now full of fishmen. Under such circumstances, it may be impossible to break through the encirclement."
"Even if it's impossible, we still have to give it a try. Now everyone on the ship is already in disarray. If we can't organize an effective defense as soon as possible, we will be killed even if we hide in this cabin!"
The young man in white clothes took the Yin Ya from the opponent's hand as he spoke. After the cabin door was opened, he saw the dark army of fishmen, more than a hundred of them, like a group of white ghosts dancing on the deck. There was no one alive anywhere.
If they see a land person, they will immediately swarm around and kill them. It is so ruthless that anyone who sees it can't help but break into a cold sweat.
"Get them all started!"
Qi Ziyin shouted loudly, then held the two swords upside down, poured power into his arms, and slammed forward. This is one of the five imperial swords taught to Baili - Bull Chong, which is exactly what Yu Luan
It was a method of sudden advance in the army. And the pair of double blades he held in his hands were like a pair of horns, one on the left and one on the right, protecting his vital points.
Immediately, the murlocs in front of the door were knocked to the ground in an instant. The young man stepped forward quickly and knocked them out one by one with the spine of his sword, but did not kill them. Then he turned back and shouted at his companions:
"Mo Chen, please protect Brother Zeming, follow me and don't get separated!"
In this way, relying on this set of five sword techniques that he had already become proficient in, Qi Ziyin single-handedly rescued many sailors who were trapped in dead ends and unable to break out. Along the way, everyone took away the weapons and protective equipment from the fish-men, and gradually
They gathered a considerable force and fought their way to the stern of the ship, finally successfully rendezvousing with Leng Jiayun and Fan Zhen who were fighting fiercely.
What Leng Jiayun was holding now was the soft sword drawn from her waist. She had just chopped down a fishman next to her, and when she saw the young man killing him from a distance, she couldn't believe her eyes.
Then he ran forward ecstatically and hugged the other person tightly in his arms:
"Zi Yin! How did you guys get here?"
Qi Ziyin shook his head gently: "Now is not the time to say these words, we must defend with all our strength! Otherwise, if those fishmen capture the stern of the ship again, all the old, weak, women and children hiding under the cabin will die!"
"What can you do?"
"Now the stern of the ship has the highest terrain, and the murlocs cannot easily attack it. Most of the enemies are still gathered on the deck in the center of the ship, unable to form an effective offensive. In addition, I brought a lot of men, and some crossbows.
If you use the flying rocks properly, you may be able to hold on for another hour and a half!"
"But what about a moment and a half later?"
"Besieging a city is about going all out in one go, then failing and then exhausting. The same goes for these murlocs who are attacking the ship now. As long as we can withstand this most ferocious first wave of offensives, we may have a glimmer of hope!"
After answering, Leng Jiayun suddenly felt that the young man in front of her had some vague shadows of Baili's past - although he was currently in deep trouble, the young man was still calm and determined. Looking at the pair of amber
With the light flashing in her pupils, she gradually believed that she might be able to survive the desperate situation and hold on to this last position!
However, before everyone could bend their bows and reorganize their defenses, something strange happened. For some unknown reason, the murloc army on the deck suddenly gave up their attack and jumped back into the sea one by one.
He was nowhere to be found, as if he had never boarded the ship, leaving only countless corpses soaked in blood.
As the ship's hull swayed from side to side, the greasy blood on the deck, which was inches deep, spilled into the sea along the gaps in the planks, attracting large groups of sharks to patrol around with their dorsal fins exposed, refusing to leave for a long time.
The unexpected resurgence came so suddenly that the defenders on the ship were stunned for a moment, and they all murmured in low voices. Fan Zhen held back a sigh of relief in his chest, and took the curled long knife in his hand.
He inserted it hard between the decks and yelled at the sea:
"Damn it, you bunch of cunning water rats take advantage of others! If you dare to come here again, I will definitely take off your ghost skin and sacrifice flag!"
"If you are angry, don't speak so early. Although the fishmen have withdrawn now, there is no telling when they will appear again, and I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with. We can only send more sentries to patrol at night and take precautions
Prepare!"
Leng Jiayun slapped the opponent hard on the back, then ordered the sailors on both sides to immediately deal with the wounded and deal with the aftermath. However, her face could not help showing a hint of joy of escaping from death.
Qi Ziyin's expression was not that relaxed, but the pestle and knife stood on the spot. The woman in purple soon noticed something strange, walked to him and asked softly:
"What's wrong with you, Ziyin? Did the wound on your body open again?"
"I'm fine. But don't you all feel that the fish-man retreated a little too fast just now?"
"You are too nervous. If it is true as the fishman insider said, this time the opponent is really trying to kill people and seize the ship. If they want to prevent us from continuing to search for the ultimate power, why bother to follow us all the way from Qingwan?
Are we taking action now? Our ship is fast, and those monsters probably know that the reinforcements from behind will not arrive in time, so they don’t dare to fight."
"But just now they clearly have the advantage in numbers, even if they are just the vanguard, but they haven't even used some tactics that I can think of, so how can they easily admit defeat without being able to attack? I feel that the opponent is now
Boarding the ship for the first time may be for some other reason!"
Qi Ziyin still felt something was wrong. When he raised his head, he saw that one side of the main sail hanging on the mast had been cut off at some point and hung loosely in the air. There were also several big holes on the sail, and then
Unable to hold back the wind, he hurriedly shouted orders, but his voice was a little hoarse:
"Go quickly to other parts of the ship to see if there is any damage!"
Sure enough, the dispatched sailors soon received a report - the complex mechanism on the ship used to control the rudder underwater was completely destroyed by the fishmen and cut into two parts.
"Damn, these insidious water rats! Do they want to trap us here so that we can wait for them to come back? Qingwan people are not vegetarians. Just destroying the ship will not trap us! The damage is
I'll take people to repair it now, and I should be able to repair it before dawn!"
Fan Zhen cursed a few more times, then immediately set off to climb up the mainmast, intending to reconnect the broken sail rope. But the young man in white stopped him:
"It's useless. As the saying goes, a war never tires of deceit. It's absolutely impossible for those fishmen to launch such a battle this time just to destroy our sails and rudders. We ordered the ship to be more alert everywhere, I'm afraid they still have powerful behind-the-scenes tactics.
Come out! Even if it doesn’t happen, there’s no guarantee that Chan Yinghai will be easy on us!”
Helpless, this time Qi Ziyin was fooled again. Before he finished speaking, he felt something falling on his face in mid-air. It was cold and cold, as if it was raining. With a thunder, the clouds in the clouds fell.
Lightning illuminated the entire sea surface. In the bright white light, hailstones as big as soybeans fell down without warning, hitting everyone on the head and body hard.
The storm was approaching in an instant, but the giant ship that had lost its power had no way to avoid it. It could only drift towards the center of the storm with the waves! Unfortunately, misfortunes never come singly. Just as everyone on the deck was hiding in various directions, with no time to think about anything else,
Then suddenly I saw a faint blue light rising in the ink-like sea water covered with white foam in front of the bow of the ship.
"What is that?!"
Even an experienced sailor like Fan Zhen has never seen such a treacherous sea surface, and the expression on his face gradually changed from surprise to horror:
"What the hell kind of weather is this! Could it be that the gods in the sky are angry? But what have we done wrong?"
The young man in white clothes on the side didn't seem to hear what the other party said at all: "Brother Fan, it's definitely too late to repair the ship now. Let the sailors go below the deck quickly and get ready!"
"What are you preparing for?"
"Do you still remember when we were in Qingwan, the fishman leader easily melted the stones we used to seal the road? Now this storm must be his fault! The waves are coming!"
As Qi Ziyin spoke, he suddenly squinted his eyes and looked at the sea on the side. Under the lightning and thunder, he saw a white line faintly appearing at the junction of the sea and the sky. The line became wider and wider, and the speed of advancement became faster and faster.
Quickly. In the roaring wind, there was a loud noise like thousands of troops.
"Brothers, follow me quickly to raise the oars under the cabin and turn sharply to the left! You must correct the bow of the boat before the wave wall comes!"
Fan Zhen finally realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately summoned more than 20 strong sailors to rush down to the deck. They worked in groups of two. Through the two symmetrical rows of small windows opened on the side, there would be 4 feet of water.
The remaining length of the wooden oar was stretched out.
The paddle is in the shape of a willow leaf. It is made of paulownia wood soaked in oil for 7,749 days and then hung over a fire to quench. It is tough and not easy to break. On weekdays, if there is no wind, the huge warship can only
They can be driven by human power. However, in the current terrifying storms and waves, even Fan Zhen is not sure whether they can still be used.
The sailors shouted neat chants and rowed the oars with all their strength. The huge warship, which was bumping in the undulating sea water, gradually stopped rocking due to their efforts, and finally turned around.
However, because the rudder was completely destroyed by the fishmen, the battleship's turning speed was obviously much slower. The white line in the sea was getting closer and closer, and it was actually overwhelming, like a city wall dozens of feet high, starting from the port side
Press directly towards the side of the ship!
"Get ready, it's time to rush!"
Qi Ziyin and others on the deck had already tied themselves tightly with cables, trying hard to resist the bumps and howling sea wind. There was only a loud "Peng" sound, and the iron ram on the bow of the ship broke open.
The salty sea water immediately soaked everyone's clothes and poured straight into the cabin along the cracks and cracks.
However, the angle between the ship and the wave wall was still too great. The moment the two intersected, the large paulownia oars on the port side, which could even lift tens of thousands of pounds of boulders, were all broken!
The sailors who were working hard below the cabin immediately fell to the ground and rolled into a ball. Without the power on one side, the battleship's forward speed also immediately slowed down.
The young man in white wiped his face vigorously - the bitterness of the seawater in his mouth made his tongue feel numb, and he was speechless for a moment. At this time, he could not see the situation in front of him at all, and could only pray silently in his heart. The battleship at his feet
You can successfully climb this mountain-like wave. If not, you may end up being rolled over by the huge wave and never be able to float again.
"More, more!"
In the unanimous shouts of everyone on the ship, the battleship finally reached the highest point of the wave wall! However, no one cheered because the wave under the belly of the ship had rolled into an arc in mid-air and quickly began to move toward
It collapsed. And the blue light on the bottom of the sea did not dissipate. Instead, it stirred in the water as if it was alive.
In the blink of an eye, a huge whirlpool appeared on the sea in front of the bow. It was so huge that it looked like a monster greedily devouring the sea water. After all, human power was still invincible. Today's lonely ship not only has no sails and no rudder, but also
The long oar on one side was missing. No matter how hard the sailors in the cabin rowed, they could not get rid of the huge suction force in the center of the vortex.
Suddenly, there was another loud "click" sound above everyone's heads - even though the sails were not raised, the mainmast was broken in the increasingly fierce wind. Then, the entire ship was hit by the storm and huge waves.
It started to spin, sliding deeper and deeper towards the center of the vortex ahead, spinning faster and faster...
