This Poseidon Cult is really hard to deal with! "Quick, dispatch the gunners and aim the cannons at the shark monster!" Richard turned around and quickly said to Captain Baloric beside him.
"Lord Richard, the shark monster moves too fast and the gunners can't hit it at all!" Captain Balorik replied with a grim expression.
"Don't worry, I will create opportunities for you."
"Gunner! Push the cannon and aim at the shark monster!!" Captain Balorik immediately carried out Richard's order.
Richard handed the seriously injured Asakim over to Stephanie to deal with. He didn't seek to kill him with one blow, but to disrupt the opponent and prevent him from recovering his combat power. He just wanted to contain him.
Stephanna, who has the ability to travel through shadows, may not have a killer move that determines victory or defeat, but she is the best candidate for the implementation of this diversionary tactic.
Richard himself immediately stepped forward with the blood-bone puppet, resisted the attack of the shark monster, and shared the pressure of the evil spirit.
Otherwise, the vengeful abomination would be seriously injured and would retreat back to the world of the dead.
If that happens, no one will be able to block the shark monster's attack head-on, and the entire battle will be ruined!
Therefore, to ensure hatred from evil spirits is to ensure victory!
“Gurgle gurgle!”
Soon, seven or eight cannons were pushed out of the cabin by more than twenty elite gunners, who began to adjust the elevation of the gun barrels and aim at the shark monster.
Although Salidin's IQ seemed to have dropped a lot after he transformed into a shark monster, he was not so stupid that he would not react at all when being targeted by artillery.
When it saw a group of gunners adjusting their cannons to aim at it, but it was entangled by Richard, the blood-bone puppet and the vengeful spirit abomination, it heard a loud roar like two stones rubbing against each other coming from the shark monster's thick neck.
"Shark Tornado!!"
The next second, a rapidly rotating black tornado appeared out of thin air in front of it and quickly spread out for several meters.
Immediately, the evil spirits, blood-bone puppets and Richard were all included!
The tornado's impact range was not large, but its attack power was extremely terrifying. The thick deck that was affected was instantly shattered into pieces, turning into sharp wood chips that mixed into the high-speed tornado.
This kind of sharp wood chips, after being given super-fast speed, had extremely terrifying lethality! They hit Richard's deathly aura and almost penetrated every root, but fortunately, after the deathly aura weakened, the kinetic energy of the sharp wood chips also decreased a lot, and was blocked by Richard's last defensive witchcraft - magic armor.
But the blow also made the bones on his body clank, and Richard suddenly felt pain all over his body!
The worst-hit was the Wraith Abomination. It had been severely injured before, and now its body was almost covered with deck fragments, like a giant hedgehog, and even its left eyeball was poked out.
The Blood Bone Puppet is the safest one among the Shark Tornado. As long as the attack power does not exceed the upper limit of its bone strength, no matter how many attacks it receives, it will be useless and will only restrain its movements.
The shark monster transformed by Salidin took this opportunity and immediately jumped out of the siege of the three people, jumped out of the encirclement of the three people, and came to the side of the artillery, intending to destroy these slow-moving but powerful artillery first.
Just when the shark monster had a ferocious look on its face and was about to kill the gunner, Richard let the blood-bone puppet hit him hard, and he was immediately knocked into a high-speed rotating shark tornado, and used his innate witchcraft directly at the shark monster.
"Mental shock!"
What Richard was waiting for was the other party to get closer to the artillery!
Because the closer to the artillery, the less space the opponent has to dodge, and the shark monster is comparable to a vengeful spirit, so it is naturally more difficult to dodge.
The difficulty lies in how to freeze the enemy so that the gunners can aim.
The answer is again, the closer the better.
Of course, the shark monster cannot be allowed to kill the gunners directly, otherwise, Richard has no interest in testing whether the gunners have the willpower to face danger without fear.
Just when the shark monster was still more than ten meters away from the gunners, a transparent mental wave suddenly hit the shark's head, causing its entire body to suddenly stagnate! "Fire!" Richard shouted immediately.
"Fire!" Captain Balorik shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Fire!" roared the gunnery commander who was commanding more than 20 elite gunners.
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!”
The gunners did not seem to be scared away by the shark monster that was getting closer and closer. Instead, they fired the shells steadily. In an instant, the seven or eight cannons opened fire at the same time!
At this moment, Richard had never felt that his double salary was so cost-effective.
This is the advantage of retired veterans. After many battles, they have become less concerned about blood and fire, life and death.
The shark monster's pupils shrank sharply after it reacted! But at this moment, it was too late for its huge body to dodge!
The only way is to avoid the vital points slightly, and the rest is to directly withstand the artillery bombardment!
"roar!!"
The shark monster roared and reacted quickly, instantly coming up with a plan that would inflict the least damage. It instantly determined that it would be hit by at least three shells, but that was better than being hit by four, five or even more shells.
As a result, the shark monster tensed his muscles and crossed his giant hands in front of his chest to protect his head and chest to avoid being directly hit by the shells!
I saw several red-hot round solid iron balls, which were violently accelerated and rubbed in the gun barrel, hitting different parts of the shark monster at a speed slightly exceeding the speed of sound.
One shell hit him right in the arm, instantly fracturing the arm bone and causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere, but fortunately it was blocked, otherwise the shell would have hit him directly in the chest.
The second shell hit the shark monster's lower abdomen, creating a basin-sized cut on its waist that two people were hugging. This seriously injured it, and the shark monster immediately howled in pain.
The third shell, which was also the final one, hit the shark monster's knee, knocking it to its knees! !
The remaining shells either just grazed the shark monster or missed it completely.
But three shells were able to hit the shark monster, and it also produced such a significant result, which made everyone around them very happy! ! Richard was also very happy when he saw it!
Who says that ordinary people can't play a role in extraordinary battles?
Who says that ordinary people can't cause harm to wizards?
It's not clear about other giants, but at least a brute force monster like the shark monster is still not immune to the damage of artillery! Even Li Jue felt that as long as the caliber of the artillery was large enough, even a second-level or third-level wizard could be killed.
Of course, the conditions for killing the enemy are quite harsh! The enemy has to stand still and let you bombard him with dozens of large-caliber artillery.
This is almost impossible to happen in reality.
He also took advantage of the trick this time, using the dizzying properties of his mental shock to set up a trap where the opponent was in front of a barrage of artillery fire.
"Well done!! Gunners!" Captain Balorik's cheeks flushed with excitement. He was even more excited than Richard.
Come to think of it, the other party is an extraordinary person! And it's not just an ordinary extraordinary person, it's a monster transformed by a great wizard close to level two.
As a result, it was severely damaged by a round of artillery fire.
This is Lord Salidin, the strongest first-level wizard under the second-level wizard of the Poseidon Cult, and he was actually beaten to his knees on the ground!
Oh my god!
Does this mean that only a second-level great wizard can deal with this undead wizard?
But a Level 2 wizard is also a powerful figure in the Poseidon Cult, so how could he act rashly?
While the other party was stunned, Richard launched two consecutive attacks at the forehead of the skeleton monster Asakim lying on the ground!
"Mental shock!"
"Death ray!"
“Puff!”
A black beam of light pierced through Asakim's skull!
Suddenly, Asakim's memory and expression remained permanently fixed on that scene of shock.
"Quick reload!"
"Prepare to fire again!" the gunner immediately gave the order.
The shark monster that Sardin transformed into was shocked! If he was hit by another round of artillery fire, he would definitely die.
Sardin endured the pain and hit the lower deck heavily with his shark tail, which immediately pierced the deck. His entire tall body fell from the deck into the next cabin.
But unfortunately, Saliddin miscalculated the height between the lower deck and the upper deck.
Considering the deck height of only two and a half meters, the result of Salidin falling to the next level was that most of his body was under the deck, but his chest and upwards, including his head, were exposed above the deck.
The most important thing is that the whole person was stuck in it, making it very difficult to move!
This immediately made everyone around very happy!
A live target right in front of you! Nothing could be more humorous than this! You know, Richard had just put in a lot of effort and after all kinds of elaborate plans, he finally managed to trick the other party into a trap.
But unexpectedly, this time, the shark monster actually made a stupid move on its own! "Fire!" the gunner yelled with his eyes wide open.
The next second! In the astonished eyes of Saridin, four or five solid iron balls whizzed towards his eyes.
“Bang!”
The sound of a watermelon being smashed by a sledgehammer was heard!
The huge shark head of the shark monster was smashed like a ripe watermelon by a sledgehammer, revealing the scarlet flesh inside! And the splashing red juice. One of the pools of bright red was mixed with some white cotton-like things, which looked like pig brains!
Richard and Stephana were also stunned, looking at each other in bewilderment! This might be the most aggrieved death of a top-level wizard, right? In the end, he did not die at the hands of a powerful opponent, but died under the artillery of an ordinary person.
Of course, this was definitely thanks to the restraint provided by Richard and his undead summons.
Otherwise, the opponent's shark tornado could eliminate all the gunners and artillery on the deck, and the artillery operated by ordinary people would not be able to concentrate on the opponent.
Therefore, there will be no suspense in the following battle!
Soon, all the enemies on the Princess were wiped out! After the death of Captain Asakim, the ghost ship Westminster quickly began to decay.
When everyone turned around to count the spoils, the keel of the Westminster ghost ship had already rotted and broken, and it suddenly disintegrated with a crackling sound. Soon, as everyone watched, only some old, rotten wooden boards were left of the ghost ship, floating on the sea.
As for the pirates, whether alive or dead, they gradually shrivelled up, either turning into mummies curled up on the ground, or even turning directly into ashes.
Only the shark monster's body shrank rapidly and turned back into a headless human corpse.
But all the items on his body were gone, which made Richard sigh. Although he defeated this wave of attacks from the Poseidon Cult, he gained nothing.
No, it’s not without gain!
The energy points just prompted by the system are quite generous. The shark monster and the skeleton monster brought Richard a total of 189,765 energy points.
This made Richard more determined to find Rodrigo's meditation method!
If he finds a subsequent meditation method and directly consumes these energy points to increase them, I'm afraid Richard's strength will increase further! "Hahaha! We won!!"
“We actually won!!”
"We actually defeated the ghost ship!!"
"We defeated the ghost ship head-on in a boarding battle!"
“We broke the myth!”
The surviving gunners, sailors, and melee teams on the deck began to cheer loudly, and many of them even threw their sailor hats into the air.
Stephanie was immediately infected by the atmosphere and waved her hands excitedly.
"Long live Lord Richard!!"
After an unknown survivor shouted loudly.
The words "Long live Sir Richard" instantly resonated with everyone, and the loud voice echoed throughout the Princess!
The scene where Richard and his summoned creatures fought against two powerful wizards was seen by everyone on the Princess.
Perhaps for Richard, this was just a bigger battle he had encountered in his life, but for most of the people on the Princess, this battle was something they could brag about for the rest of their lives!
Maybe one day, when they are old or unable to work, they will tell their children in the garden what is the greatest thing they have experienced in their lives? It is likely to be this battle. When they were young, they were sailors on the Princess and defeated the ghost ship head-on! Maybe one day, when they brag to their wives, they will also tell this story.
Maybe they would brag about this while drinking in the bar! Maybe they would also write about this battle on their tombstones! In any case, today's battle would be deeply engraved in their minds, passed down from mouth to mouth, and passed down forever! At this moment, the lookout on the mast shouted, "The fog has dissipated! The fog has dissipated!"
Everyone finally reacted and looked around.
Sure enough, the fog around them gradually thinned and soon disappeared. Suddenly, the sun shone on the sea, and everyone on the boat seemed to be bathed in golden light.
"Look! What is that?" a sailor pointed to the port side of the Princess.
