Chapter 166 Breaking Out of the Shell (Two Chapters in One)
In an instant, Ryan had come to the bottom cabin of the "Shipwreck". This floor was also the location where his Glimmering Greatsword was inserted. At this time, he had already seen a small section of the shiny tip of the greatsword, which was penetrating the thick hull and appeared on his right side.
However, in addition to retrieving the greatsword, the most important thing in the bottom cabin was to implement the plan!
Because this floor was also the location where the gunpowder barrels of the "Shipwreck" were stored.
In front of Ryan's sight, in a separate small cabin, dozens of large wooden barrels were neatly stacked on an iron rack. It seemed that in order to prevent moisture, a little space was left under the rack.
Ryan first pulled out the greatsword with force, and replaced the pig-headed hammer in his hand with the Glimmering Greatsword.
At this time, a large group of blood sail pirates, led by the first mate with a face full of flesh and the bearded boatswain, surrounded him from all directions.
Ryan felt the consumption of his own physical strength. The continuous burst just now was still very physically demanding, so he silently said to add points in his heart.
According to the previously planned point-adding scheme, as the remaining attribute points increased from 3 to 2, and the mental power increased from 23 to 24 points, Ryan instantly felt a large amount of heat pumping out of his heart and spreading rapidly to his limbs!
In an instant, Ryan restored his physical strength to its peak state!
In terms of protracted battles, Ryan, who has the "add points and recover", has never been afraid of anyone!
The Blood Sail Pirates, looking at Ryan holding a big sword with a calm face, were frightened by his momentum for a while, and they were afraid to move forward. This made several pirate leaders who had not seen Ryan's power just now furious!
"Go! Kill him!" Several Blood Sail Pirate leaders roared and took the lead in launching an attack.
As the pirates roared one by one, they began to launch a siege on Ryan again.
Ryan's body swelled again, and the most prominent thing was his bulging neck, as if at this moment, there was a pot of boiling water hidden in his chest, and that wide open mouth was the roaring whistle, and a huge heat flow suddenly gushed out!
"Roar!!!"
A roar louder than all of them combined sounded from the bottom cabin!
"Roaring attack!"
This made the faces of all the Blood Sail Pirates present change drastically, and they secretly said "Not good!" in their hearts, but it was too late to retreat!
First of all, this large-scale sonic attack is the most unsolvable, unless...
your retreat speed can exceed the speed of sound!
In addition, this is a confined space like a cabin, and the sound waves are further enhanced with the blessing of echoes!
So, the next second, a loud noise exploded in the ears of a group of pirates!
Dozens of Blood Sail Pirates, their facial skin was repeatedly stretched, trembled, and deformed under the impact of the sound waves, their eyes were absent-minded and even rolled their eyes, and their heads were blank!
"Ah ah!!!" Screams came one after another!
After the loud noise, within a few seconds, the ears and brain were buzzing, and it took a long time to calm down!
Unlike before, Ryan did not swing the whirlwind at the same time this time, but
took this opportunity to cast the witchcraft "blazing light"!
As Ryan's left palm, a very dazzling flame suddenly lit up, and the originally dark environment was as bright as daylight in a short time.
This was miserable for these blood sail pirates. Their eardrums were torn and their heads were in great pain. They had just gotten a little better, but then they were almost blinded by the strong light, and everything they saw was white!
This kind of transition from extremely dark to extremely bright is unbearable for people!
"Ahh!!!"
So, the screams just subsided for a few seconds, and then they became loud again!
A few seconds later, when the blood sail pirates found that they could barely see things, they found that the strong light was approaching a pile of cylinders at the bottom of the cabin.
The first mate and the boatswain who had regained their sight first saw Ryan actually plug in and light the fuse of a gunpowder barrel. Instantly, their expressions were horrified!
"Sizzle!"
The burning sound of the fuse was no less than a death warrant!
Judging from the length of the fuse, it was afraid that it would explode in three seconds!
Retreat!
Retreat quickly! Faster!
The first mate and the boatswain immediately fled to the upper cabin without caring about anything!
Of course, they knew that if this pile of gunpowder barrels exploded, not only would they go to the sky, but even the "Shipwreck" would probably be blown into two pieces. When they thought of that scene, both of them were scared!
"Where did this lunatic come from? In order to kill me, he actually chose to die together!" The two panicked and ran away, cursing in their hearts.
"Run!"
The ordinary pirates also reacted at this time. It was not practical to break through the obstruction of this powerful enemy and extinguish the fuse.
The only choice at the moment was to run quickly!
As long as they can run to the decks at both ends, they should be able to survive even if there is an explosion.
"Bang!!!"
Just as the Bloodsail Pirates were in a mess, rushing towards the escalator of the upper cabin like headless flies.
Ryan's body expanded again, and the 2.2-meter-tall muscular beast reappeared. He switched weapons in seconds and hit a big hole in the oak hull of more than 30 centimeters thick with one hammer. Then, Ryan kicked hard with both feet
and passed through the big hole. The whole person was like a big bird, rushing straight to the nearest small boat more than ten meters away.
Before, it was "breaking into the shell", and now it is "breaking out of the shell"! At this time, Ryan, who was jumping in the air, suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar beautiful female face sticking out of the hole in the captain's room at the stern of the "Shipwreck". This made Ryan's pupils shrink and his face changed drastically. A thought flashed through his mind instantly, "Why is she there?" ', but there was no time to think about the reason, only to hear Ryan shouting: "Run! The ship is going to explode!"
While shouting, Ryan waved his arms twice.
It turned out that the female navy lieutenant Marika had followed the male naval officer through the hole made by Ryan and entered the captain's lounge of the "Shipwreck".
As soon as they entered the captain's room, several people looked at the captain and fortune teller of the "Shipwreck", Mara Nasr, lying on the ground in shock.
They stared at this scene in amazement, and for a moment they couldn't figure out what kind of attack would cause this "the back of the head was hollowed out, but the front face remained intact" effect.
A two-handed sledgehammer?
If the hammer hit it, the face would be smashed to pieces!
A two-handed sword?
Shouldn't it be beheaded or split in half?
While Marika was shocked, she picked up a feather pen and "swish" recorded, "This is the assessment personnel Ryan, killing the blood sail pirates, the captain and fortune teller of the "Shipwreck", Mara Nasr."
But before she finished writing, suddenly, they felt the hull shake violently again, as if a big hole was hit somewhere.
So, immediately, they stuck their heads out to check, and saw Ryan escaping from the bottom of the cabin at a high speed, shouting "The ship is going to blow up".
Everyone's face changed. Although they didn't understand how the ship was going to blow up, they didn't dare to stay any longer!
This new knight who participated in the canonization assessment has already brought them too much shock. The other party is likely to be telling the truth!
Run first!
So, everyone also rushed out of the hole in the captain's room at a high speed, and everyone jumped onto the nearby small boat like a big bird on the sea.
One second.
Compared to the Blood Sail Pirates who stepped on each other in the cramped cabin and wooden stairs, the Imperial Navy officers were still very lucky. In the same amount of time, they could run more than ten or twenty meters.
Because of the threat of death, the pirates rushed forward!
Finally, with the arrival of the explosion, most of the pirates barely stepped on a few stairs.
"Boom!!!"
The explosion that resounded throughout Merit Island suddenly rang out!
Everyone, including Ryan, was hit by the shock wave from behind, staggering and almost falling. Then, the water splashed more than ten meters high, soaking everyone!
They were all in such a mess, so you can imagine how the blood sail pirates on the "Shipwreck" felt.
Everyone looked back and saw that the more than 30-meter-long "Shipwreck" was blown into two pieces, burning with a raging fire and slowly sinking.
But because the "Shipwreck" was moored at the dock on the coast, the sea was not deep, which resulted in the two parts of the hull having one end exposed above the water, standing like a giant reef!
On the dock outside.
Originally, Rear Admiral Silva was about to say something.
Suddenly, a roar came from the "Shipwreck", and the roar was as real as the roar of a giant bear.
This made General Silva and the middle-aged nobleman Theo stop talking and look at the "Shipwreck" again.
Suddenly, a big hole was blown out of the hull of the "Shipwreck" in the middle and bottom. A familiar figure was running out quickly. Judging from the speed, it didn't seem like retreating, but more like running for life.
"Hey! Is he being besieged and defeated? Running for his life?" Seeing this scene, the first thought that came to the minds of the two people was.
But then, when they heard Ryan shouting "The ship is going to explode", the two senior officials looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes!
"It's going to explode?"
"He blew up the "Shipwreck"?"
Just as the two were stunned, a loud noise resounded through the dock!
The two raised their hands to block the violent airflow caused by the shock wave. Even though they were more than a hundred meters apart, the violent airflow could still blow the clothes rustling!
"What did this young man do?"
"Didn't I say it on the way here? Killing the first mate on a pirate ship is an excellent evaluation."
"What kind of operation is this to blow up a ship of blood sail pirates?" The two thought.
However, both of them had seen big scenes. Soon, Rear Admiral Silva came to his senses and said to the middle-aged nobleman:
"This kid not only disrupted my previous deployment, but also destroyed a three-masted warship that was about to be captured!"
"Yes, but what he did, if you look closely, there is nothing that violates the assessment regulations." The middle-aged noble Theo also smiled helplessly.
Who would have thought that a new knight participating in the canonization assessment would kill pirates more fiercely than the experienced naval commandos!
"What a troublesome kid!"
"In addition, we may have to be busy!" Rear Admiral Silva once again focused his attention on the "Blood Sail".
Perhaps it was affected by the "Shipwreck" being blown into two pieces. At this moment, the movement on the "Blood Sail" was obviously louder.
I saw two people rushing towards the pirate flagship-the "Blood Sail".
On other pirate ships, including the Blood Sail Pirate Flagship "Blood Sail", whether it was pirates, the elite of the Imperial Navy, or the new knights participating in the canonization assessment, they were all shocked by the shocking noise.
On the 'Ruhr', a group of young knights, led by the noble son, were fighting with the Bloodsail Pirates holding scimitars on the deck.
Because there were so many people, no matter how they concealed themselves, they would be discovered sooner or later. Therefore, after a period of stealth attacks, it eventually turned into a full-scale battle.
As the violent explosion of the 'Shipwreck' sounded, everyone looked at the burning and broken three-masted sailing ship, and couldn't help but marvel at the generosity of the Imperial Navy, and their momentum was immediately boosted!
The same scene was playing out on the 'Hook'!
As the flagship of the Bloodsail Pirates, the strength of the pirates on the 'Bloodsail' was naturally not to be underestimated. They were fighting fiercely with the Imperial Navy's commandos, which was why Major General Silva said that he would be busy for a while.
Ryan, who had caused such a big commotion, was now looking ahead calmly, seemingly admiring his own "masterpiece".
But in fact, he was just checking the system prompts:
[Your skill High Temperature Force Field has been improved, experience value +17]
[Your skill Giant Bear Sword Skill has been improved, experience value +54]
[Your skill Tokkar Hammer Skill has been improved, experience value +377]
[Your skill Blazing Light is upgraded, experience +19]
[You have experienced a battle, Knight (Super) experience +81, Wizard Apprentice (Super) experience +46]
At this time, the female colonel Marika, wearing thick-soled leather boots, walked quickly to Ryan's side, and said to Ryan with a little anger: "Knight Ryan, you made such a big fuss, why didn't you tell us in advance."
"Just now, we almost..."
Ryan turned his head and glanced at the wet beautiful colonel.
The other party was wearing a curvy navy uniform, which was tightly attached to her body at this moment, making her figure more hot. Unfortunately, on her pretty face, a pair of beautiful eyes were glaring at him.
However, Ryan understood the other party's feelings a little. After all, anyone who almost died at the hands of a "friendly army" would be very angry.
Marika, who always pays attention to her image, was covered in seawater because of the explosion of the "Shipwreck". At this moment, drops of salty seawater were dripping down from her locks of hair.
This was really unbearable for her, who always loved cleanliness!
"This. It was indeed my negligence."
"However, it is not stated in the precautions that the new knights participating in the assessment need to report their action plans in advance, right?"
Ryan felt that it was necessary to explain it clearly.
After all, if he had not reminded the "friendly forces" in time, it might have caused casualties on his side, so he added another sentence.
"You"
Ryan's words made Marika's plump breasts rise and fall violently, but when she thought about it carefully, she didn't find anything wrong with what Ryan said.
Because the assessment regulations did not say that the new knights participating in the assessment should report their action plans.
"Then tell me, how do you want me to count and record your kills?" Marika changed the subject and pointed to the blood sail pirates floating on the sea, who were not dead yet, and more bodies that had "drifted with the tide".
Ryan complained in his heart, "You are the recorder, you have to find a way to deal with this." At the same time, he comforted him, "Major Marika, you can just record the captain, first mate and boatswain of the "Shipwreck", and forget about the others."
"No! As a recorder, of course I have to record it clearly."
"Then I don't have any good ideas."
Ryan had thought of this battle plan as early as when he saw the design drawings of the three-masted sailing ship, so at that time, he carefully read the data of the hull thickness, deck thickness and so on of the three-masted sailing ship several times.
On the other hand, near the bonfire on the beach, he also found the thick oak planks used by the pirates to repair the hull, and tested the strength by hand.
After several conditions were met, Ryan finally decided to implement this battle plan.
The purpose is also very simple. Ryan just wants to kill as many blood sail pirates as possible and get a high enough evaluation.
After all, excellent evaluation is not Ryan's goal, but getting an invitation letter from the "Sword Bearer" is!
As for why Ryan did not choose the "Blood Sail", it is because the main attack direction of the Navy Commando is also the "Blood Sail".
After all, if the minions also counted, they were obviously not as good as the "Shipwreck" which might be "caught in one fell swoop".
In addition, there was a master of the Grand Knight level, "Blood Hand Willy" on the "Blood Sail". Ryan felt that it was too risky to jump and kill the opponent from any angle.
Although, after taking into account the combat power of the second-level wizard apprentice, his total combat power exceeded that of the peak knight.
But compared with the Grand Knight, Ryan estimated that there should still be a certain gap.
As for how much the gap is, he really didn't know.
Because he had never fought against an enemy at the Grand Knight level.
Finally, there was another key point, that is, the secret messenger from the Eagle Federation, what was the strength of the other party?
The information given to them by the Imperial Navy did not mention it, and the Rear Admiral did not say it.
The unknown is the biggest source of uncontrollability and risk.
However, if the "Shipwreck" is chosen, the above problems basically do not exist.
Looking back now, Ryan feels that his decision is still very wise.
At this time, Ryan suddenly remembered something.
He seemed to have forgotten to pick up the spoils, especially the spoils of the captain and fortune teller of the "Shipwreck", Mara Nasr.
As a wizard apprentice, the other party might have other witchcraft models or things that he was interested in. As for the spoils of others, Ryan didn't care much.
Fortunately, although the "Shipwreck" was broken into two parts, it was broken from the middle.
The two ends, the stern and the bow, were standing up at a 45-degree angle and did not sink into the sea.
Ryan immediately turned around and asked, "Major Marika, do the spoils of the canonization assessment belong to the individual or the empire?"
"Ah?" Marika, who was angry, didn't expect Ryan to suddenly ask such a question without thinking.
She thought for a moment and said, "It belongs to the individual. Of course, if it involves the national security of the empire, it still needs to be handed over."
Ryan nodded, "Thank you, Major Marika, I think I have to go look for my spoils, do you want to come together?"
"Hmm? Okay!" Marika was stunned, but immediately nodded in agreement.
Sure enough, 'distracting attention' is a good way to eliminate a woman's nagging at you.
Ryan used it on his mother Emma before.
Now it seems that this is a 'universal skill'.
Captain's room of the 'Shipwreck'.
Although it was the second time Marika saw the body of the fortune teller, she still couldn't help but exclaimed: "Knight Ryan, how did you... "
As she spoke, Marika pointed to the other's hollowed-out skull.
"It's just a secret technique. By the way, I got an excellent evaluation this time. Shouldn't it be a problem?" Ryan didn't want to talk more about his methods, and used "attention diversion" again.
"Of course, in my opinion, you deserve a higher level of evaluation. It's just a pity that the highest evaluation in the canonization assessment is excellent." Female Major Marika smiled and said.
On the stern deck of the Blood Sail.
Rear Admiral Silva, with a livid face, looked at a ripple that was leaving quickly hundreds of meters away. He knew that under the sea was a newly developed device of the Eagle Federation that could dive underwater in a short period of time.
It seemed that the ships he set up in the open sea could not stop the other party.
This raid was not successful, what a pity!
However, he looked at the tall and strong man "Blood Hand Willy" who was limp like mud on the side, and Silva's face finally looked better.
At least, he should be able to get some useful information from the other party.
"Report to the general: We found a batch of new-style matchlock guns. Judging from the texture and craftsmanship, they should be from the Eagle Federation." A messenger came to report.
Silva nodded and said nothing.
At this time, the battle on Merrit Island was gradually coming to an end.
The statistics were being carried out overtime.
Especially on the side of the "Shipwreck", the female major Marika had to ask her colleagues for help to salvage the floating corpses and the half-dead blood sail pirates.
The male naval officer was commanding the commandos who were originally going to attack the "Shipwreck" to clean up the sea.
Ryan was lucky. The first mate with a face full of flesh and the bearded boatswain were both salvaged.
The strong bodies of the senior knights allowed the two of them to survive after avoiding the center of the explosion.
However, they were seriously injured and did not escape the search of the Imperial Navy and were captured on the spot.
According to the statistical rules of the canonization assessment, either the recorder saw it with his own eyes, or there must be a landmark object or corpse.
Now, the "Three Giants of the Shipwreck" have all been found and recorded in Ryan's kill list.
An hour later.
The newly promoted knights who participated in the canonization assessment gathered again and boarded the returning navy warship.
Unlike when they came, this time the warship was a large four-masted sailing ship of the Imperial Navy.
In the cabin, some people couldn't hide their joy, while some were dejected.
"This time I killed six Blood Sail Pirate leaders and received good reviews. There should be no problem!"
"Alas! I only killed eleven ordinary pirates. I'm afraid it's hanging this time!" A young man couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.
"Who told you to choose the "Small Fortress"? Although it is safe, the number of pirates inside is much less than on the ship, and you have more people going there!"
"It's not surprising to have this result." A slightly older young man next to him said with a little disdain.
Many people are always like this, wanting to take no risks and have big gains.
He went to the "Sharp Hook". This time he killed seven Blood Sail Pirate leaders and eight ordinary pirates, and got good reviews!
"Have you heard? The red-haired girl Evelyn killed the boatswain of the Blood Sail and several pirate leaders."
"So powerful? Then she must have won an excellent evaluation! Wow, she was directly awarded the title of baron. I'm so envious!"
"Yes! Many knights have served the empire for decades, but in the end they only got the title of baron." A young man next to her looked at the red-haired girl with envy.
However, what made him a little strange was that the red-haired girl Evelyn's beautiful eyes would occasionally glance at the black-haired boy next to her.
Thanks to the rookie Mu Fanfei for the 100 starting coins reward!
