When Shiloh heard what little Jack said, he raised his eyebrows and stood up calmly.
"Let's go out and take a look."
Hilo immediately walked to the deck. Sure enough, the sailors gathered around the other end of the deck, pointing to the sea level and discussing loudly.
Rowan scolded everyone to return to work. Shiloh covered his eyes with his hands to block the sun. Looking from a distance, he saw a small black dot rising from the sea line.
There was actually another ship that broke through the whirlpools and reefs and arrived at the Gulf Stream Island Chain!
"Rowan, get everyone ready for battle. Let's go over and take a look."
After giving the order, the sailors immediately turned the bow and sailed towards the ship.
With the sails fully hoisted, the Blolis drew a semicircle on the sea and silently sailed towards the black spot.
The sailors also clutched the scimitars in their hands tightly, with solemn expressions.
At this moment, the pilot standing at the top of the main mast suddenly issued another warning.
"Two ships! There are two ships on the opposite side!"
"There's another one hiding right behind!"
Hearing the pilot's words, Hilo quickly squinted his eyes and looked over carefully. Sure enough, there was a small spot behind the first ship, looming under the cover of the waves.
There is even a boat!
"Something feels wrong."
Shiloh observed carefully for a while and said to Rowan beside him.
The two ships didn't seem to be in the same group. The ship in front was slowly emitting thick smoke and driving forward desperately, while the ship behind was chasing after them, like a ferocious beast staring at them.
Chasing it like a prey.
"Boss, we've been spotted on the other side!"
At this moment, the ship in front suddenly turned in a direction, and its bow came towards the Blolis.
"Damn it!"
Shiloh cursed secretly. He just thought he was going on a sea vacation today, but he didn't bring any knights or sword and shield soldiers with him. There were only more than 80 sailors and some rowing slaves on the entire Bloris, which totaled less than 150 people.
If a battle really breaks out, Hilo may not have enough armed forces.
I didn't expect to encounter such a thing!
"Rowan! Get 10 slaves here immediately!"
Shiloh gritted his teeth, clicked on the system, reluctantly spent 500 energy points to exchange for 10 archer templates, and then used one for 10 slaves who looked confused.
Suddenly, data flow surged, and the bodies of the 10 slaves immediately grew taller, their thin bodies became strong and powerful, and their tattered clothes began to turn into Zhi's leather armor.
A full meter long fine iron long bow was slung behind his back, and a barrel of exquisite steel arrows hung from his waist.
The dull look on his face was replaced by perseverance.
"Your Highness!"
The 10 archers performed a military salute, immediately took off their longbows, and stood atop the Blolis with arrows in hand.
【Archer】
[Race: Human]
【Strength: 6】
[Agility: 9]
[Physique: 4]
[Arm evaluation: Don’t worry, my aim is very stable, at least half of the 10 people I kill are enemies]
With 10 archers holding the battle, Shiloh felt much more at ease. He looked at the two ships getting closer and closer, clenching his fists silently.
After two battles, Hilo's command also seemed much more mature. The Blolis was ready and slowly approached the two ships.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.
The one in front is a merchant ship.
At this time, Hilo could clearly see the appearance of the merchant ship.
There was a hole in the hull, but luckily no sea water entered.
The broken sail was still burning, and the sailors on the deck were desperately waving their red and white flags at them.
"Your Highness, a warning was sent from the other side, saying that... they encountered a pirate attack."
Just when Rowan was identifying the flag and saying this, Shiloh finally saw clearly the appearance of the ship behind.
The deep black flag and pale skull all reveal the identity of the ship behind it.
pirate!
At this time, a ball of sparks suddenly burst out from the pirate ship, and then countless pieces of wood were seen bursting out from behind the merchant ship. Several sailors were blown away, dancing in the air and falling into the sea. The merchant ship seemed to have lost power at this moment, and suddenly
Diandian slowly stopped.
Shiloh used his toes to figure out what was going on.
This merchant ship was probably sailing on the sea, but unfortunately, they were targeted by pirates and attacked by a group of bloodthirsty jackals on the sea. They had to flee in a hurry, and finally passed through whirlpools and reefs by accident, and came to
Arrived in the waters of the Gulf Stream Island Chain.
This merchant ship is of the same class as the Blolis. It is a triple-layer propeller ship that can easily transport more than 3,000 pounds of cargo. It can carry up to 300 people on board.
Looking at the situation at this time, this merchant ship was not full. Not counting the slaves and servants rowing the boats, but only the sailors and mercenaries, there were about 50 people.
The pirates chasing behind the merchant ships were standard Clark sailboats.
This Clark sailboat has multiple sails and a huge stern, and is also equipped with a fixed stern rudder, making this sailboat more nimble than the Blois.
Although the Clark sailing ship is lighter and more agile, its passenger capacity has also dropped sharply, and it can only hold 150 people at full capacity.
When Hilo saw this Clark sailboat, his eyes immediately turned red. This kind of ship was not only agile, but also powerful in combat. It was simply his ideal warship.
"Rowan, can you get that Clark sailboat... I mean, grab it!"
"The ship on the opposite side is more agile than ours, and there seems to be a cannon on the poop... If we want to conquer this treasure on the sea, we have to bite it to the death."
"10° to the side! Full power, rush over!"
Rowan gave a loud order, and the speed of the Blolis immediately increased by a knot and rushed towards the pirate ship.
At this time, the merchant ship had completely lost power and stopped. The pirates' Clark sailboat bypassed the merchant ship and rushed towards the Bloris. Hilo could almost see the swords waving on the deck, showing a bloodthirsty smile.
of pirates.
"boom!"
A ball of fire burst out from the poop at the stern of the pirate ship again, but Rowan had already been prepared for it. When he increased his speed, the shell roared past the side of the Blolis and landed in the sea, causing a huge explosion.
Tuanshuihua.
"Everyone stands still and prepares for the impact!"
Following Rowan's reminder, Shiloh hurriedly held on to the enclosure deck and carefully raised his head to observe the battlefield.
The pirates didn't seem to expect that the Blolis would rush in front of them so quickly. They panicked and controlled the rudder to avoid it. Some pirates took out their bows and arrows and shot wildly at the Blolis.
"Dodo dodo!"
When Hilo lowered his head, an arrow grazed his scalp and flew past, scaring Hilo into a cold sweat.
Damn! I almost capsized in the gutter by accident!
Hilo, who had suffered such a heavy loss at the hands of both the fish and the lizardmen, was furious and ordered the archers.
"Fire the bow! Specialize in killing the people holding bows and arrows on the opposite side!"
The archers immediately drew up their bowstrings, and the strong bows and arrows made of fine iron were like the death-chasing talisman of the King of Hell. With one volley, they easily took away seven or eight pirates.
It is extremely difficult to shoot on the sea. Not only do you have to consider the wind direction, but you also have to get used to the swaying of the sea. However, the archers exchanged by the system can obviously adapt to various environments. With the two engines shooting at each other, the Blolis has only two or three unlucky ones.
Apart from the injured sailors, no one died.
The pirates were not so lucky. After several rounds of shooting, more than ten people had fallen.
