"There are a lot of skeleton pirates. The one blowing the trumpet is a BOSS, the 'Undead Pirate Captain', a level 55 guy," Ling'er quickly reported what he saw.
The 'immortal pirate captain' clearly plays the role of commander.
As for those skeleton pirates, when they climbed onto the fort at this time, it was by no means aimless. They must have taken the position of gunners.
In fact, it was not these reasons that changed Murong Xiaotian's expression, but it reminded him of something.
He once heard Uncle Baksa say that the two major sailing families in "Destiny" have their own strengths in shipbuilding and cannon building.
Another sailing family does not know how to build gunboats, but their shipbuilding technology far exceeds that of the Baksa family; the ships they build are much better than the Baksa family in terms of function, speed, and sturdiness.
But when it comes to attack capabilities, the gunboats built by the Baksa family are second to none in "Destiny" in terms of power and range.
Therefore, the cannons on the opposite fort are most likely from the Baksa family.
Then, it is very likely that the power and range of these cannons are far from comparable to the magic crystal cannons on the Destiny.
The distance from here to the opponent's fort is about 700 meters, which is beyond the range of the magic crystal cannon; therefore, it is very likely that the opponent's artillery fire can attack our side.
If this is the case, the consequences are unimaginable, and the entire situation will be reversed. Instead, we will become the target of unilateral devastation by the other party.
However, when he thought that it was already too late, Murong Xiaotian's expression just changed, and before he could make any reaction, the opponent opened fire.
More than a dozen tongues of flame spurted out from behind the stone wall, and more than a dozen cannonballs flew directly over.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The shells that landed around the Destiny raised the sea water more than ten meters high, as if like a tsunami coming out of thin air, causing the sea surface to churn; the entire Destiny was shaken. indefinite.
Three more shells landed directly on the deck, throwing the shattered pieces of the deck into the air. The air waves caused by the explosion knocked Murong Xiaotian and the others off their feet.
At the same time, a raging fire broke out.
"Lu Dawei, retreat at full speed," Murong Xiaotian roared.
His worries turned out to be true. Not only did the opponent's cannon have a longer range than his own magic crystal cannon, but it was also much more powerful. At the first moment, he had the idea of moving forward at full speed, rushing to the dock and blowing up the opponent's turret. Completely stranded.
Doing so is undoubtedly no different than committing suicide.
With this kind of firepower, even if the Destiny arrived and was not sunk, it would probably be riddled with holes and completely destroyed.
The only thing we can do is to retreat, and we have to retreat quickly.
It's too late to go to the cockpit to convey the order. By the time you get to the cockpit, the Destiny has probably been severely damaged.
Therefore, Murong Xiaotian activated the deterrent amplification function of the Knight Medal without even thinking about it.
This roar, let alone on the ship, can be heard clearly even by the enemy on the fort behind the stone wall opposite.
Deterrence can increase the morale of one's own people, while it can bring psychological pressure to the enemy and reduce their morale.
At the very least, it can stop their actions for a moment, and even if it only gains a second, it is still good.
"Go put out the fire," Murong Xiaotian roared again, his figure drew a line and rushed towards the fire; at the same time, his eyes quickly swept across the deck.
Seeing that there were no casualties, I felt relieved.
"Fuck him," Murong Xiaotian cursed again in his heart.
He's so fucking useless, being bombarded by others like crazy, but he can only watch helplessly.
He regretted it so much now that he should have rushed straight to the dock as soon as he entered the bay; then, he would have had enough time to bombard the opponent's ship and then bombard the opponent's fort.
Those garbage pirates, to put it bluntly, when should you not kill them? After bombing those garbage pirates for so long, you missed the opportunity to destroy the opponent's fort.
In the final analysis, I still underestimated the enemy too much. I should have touched the "Hell Island" first to understand the situation before taking action.
However, Murong Xiaotian is not the kind of person who likes to blame others. Regret is just a fleeting thing, and the things in front of him are the most important.
Facing such powerful artillery fire, their current skills and levels were of no use at all. This made him think of Long Er again; if Long Er were here, the situation would be completely different.
Thinking of Long Er, Murong Xiaotian felt hatred for Feng Huo Liuyun. If it weren't for that bastard, there would be so many things.
That bastard must be repaid ten times or a hundred times the price.
The Destiny began to evacuate quickly. As soon as the ship moved, the opponent had to adjust the range target, and the artillery fire naturally slowed down. However, judging from the opponent's bombardment, the opponent's artillery was no less than fifteen.
In terms of quantity, there are not many, but in terms of power, one of them is more powerful than several magic crystal cannons.
Jue Feng and the others also joined the fire-fighting team. In fact, they can do nothing but being firefighters now.
The NPC crew members on the ship also quickly ran out and braved gunfire to carry out emergency repairs on the damaged parts of the Destiny.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The artillery fire continued, and the people on board the Destiny were also busy.
Lu Dawei's driving skills are indeed very experienced. After Murong Xiaotian gave the order, he skillfully made a 90-degree turn at a speed of 30 knots and evacuated to the mouth of the bay at full speed without any delay.
After withdrawing 300 meters, the opponent's artillery fire was out of reach, and the shooting stopped.
From this point of view, the maximum range of the opponent's cannon is one thousand meters, which is double the distance of the magic crystal cannon.
After the fire was extinguished, Murong Xiaotian gathered everyone and gathered in the cockpit; as for the emergency repair work, it was the crew's business. If Murong Xiaotian and others were asked to repair it, they did not have the ability.
You must know that not just anyone can be a crew member casually; first of all, you must understand manufacturing techniques and learn the navigation skills in the "Logbook".
Except for Murong Xiaotian, Xiang Juefeng and the others here don't know the art of manufacturing at all. Even if the "Navigation Log" is given to them, they don't have the authority to learn it.
Therefore, these crew members are all Ah Si's treasures, and even more so, the treasures of the most powerful thief force in the world.
In order to find these NPCs who know how to make, Wuhan University spent a lot of effort.
"Report our losses," Murong Xiaotian said in a deep voice in the cockpit.
"We were hit five times by the opponent, four decks were hit, one power furnace was damaged, and one crew member was killed," an NPC reported the statistics.
They were lucky, as they only hit five shots in total. Even if one-third of the opponent's shells hit the target, the Destiny would have sunk.
This may be because the cannons on the stone walls were fired for the first time.
"One crew member was killed," Murong Xiaotian's expression suddenly became extremely heavy.
NPCs are different from players. They do not have the power to resurrect. If they die, they will completely disappear from the world.
"Yes," the crew member said sadly.
"He is the hero of our number one thief in the world. Captain Lu, after returning to China, told Ah Si to set up a monument for me on the 'Destiny' and engrave his name on it; he used his life to defend He has given us the dignity of being the best thief in the world and deserves our respect," Murong Xiaotian said seriously.
This "Destiny" is also an all-encompassing world, and even NPCs are also living beings in this world.
They have blood and flesh, and they also have thoughts. Their lives deserve more respect than the players.
Players can be resurrected if they die, but they cannot.
"Yes," Captain Lu replied equally seriously.
He felt equally sad. These crew members were not only his men, but also his brothers.
"Damn it, kill all these beasts and avenge our crew brothers," Kuezhan clenched his fists angrily, his eyes about to burst into flames.
"Revenge is certain, but we can't get close now. The opponent's artillery is more powerful and has a farther range than us," Jue Feng replied seriously, looking at Murong Xiaotian.
It was obvious that he was seeking Murong Xiaotian's opinion.
"Can the power furnace be repaired?" Murong Xiaotian did not answer, but looked at Lu Dawei.
This is also a key issue. If the power furnace affects the return voyage, it will be very bad.
"This is not a problem. It can be restored in three hours at most," Captain Lu replied affirmatively.
"Okay," Murong Xiaotian nodded, and then he glanced at everyone's faces, and finally fell on Jue Feng's face, and then said: "It's starting to get dark now. I think, let's go first Take a rest, and then land directly from outside the bay; taking advantage of the night, we touch his fort and collect his magic crystal cannon first,"
Taking away the opponent's cannons is one of them. Preventing these NPC crew members from taking any more risks is the most important thing.
As the number one thief in the world, he watched helplessly as a brother completely disappeared from this world. This made Murong Xiaotian feel heartbroken and extremely ashamed at the same time.
It got dark very quickly. After Murong Xiaotian and the others took a short rest, they were ready to set off.
The Destiny is an ocean-going battleship. With its tonnage, it is impossible to reach the shore without building a deep-water dock.
Therefore, the 'Destiny' could only park near the mouth of the bay, more than 100 meters away from the shore; then, it would have to rely on rafts.
After putting the raft prepared on the Destiny into the water, Murong Xiaotian briefly explained to Captain Lu and left the Destiny.
Soon, the raft reached the shore, dragged the raft ashore, and threw it on the beach. The group set off towards the stone wall.
