Chapter 278 Battle on the Sea

"Woooo... woo!!"

Following Captain Fox's order, the watchman immediately climbed to the watchtower of the mast, and then blew the horn loudly. Soon, the Black Crow began to slow down, and at the same time, the sailors pushed the magic cannons to the edge of the ship's armor. This is a weapon that is similar in shape to a cannon, but uses magic energy to launch cannonballs. Its attack power and range Although it is similar to a cannon, because it does not need to be ignited with gunpowder, it only needs to be triggered by a spar to fire the cannonball, so it has long replaced the cannon as a self-defense weapon used by ordinary merchant ships and cargo ships in the main world.

After all, for ships on the sea, storms and huge waves are their worst enemies.

The shields that were originally fishing on both sides of the ship were also pulled up by the sailors, and stuck inwards to the edge of the ship. Soon, this ordinary merchant ship became a mobile fortress at sea. Captain Fox also strode forward to the rudder of the ship, raised the binoculars in his hand and looked at the other side of the sea level, and then, Captain Fox's complexion changed.

"Oops!"

"Looks like we're in trouble?"

With the help of magic vision, Fangzheng also clearly saw the three shadows emerging from the side of the sea level at this moment. The leader is a luxurious passenger ship. Just by looking at its glamorous appearance and shining logo, one can tell that this ship must belong to a certain nobleman with considerable reputation and status.

But it is a pity that this ship has completely lost its original prestige at the moment. Its body is full of black marks after the explosion and burning flames, and the raised white sails are also riddled with holes. , just like a spider web that has been ravaged by a storm.

Behind that ship, two pirate ships were chasing it like hungry wolves. The speed of the three ships seemed to be about the same, but in comparison, the ship that was desperately fleeing in front obviously had some support. Can't live. Not only does it have to avoid the artillery fire from behind, it even has to worry about other troubles.

That is magic.

"Boom boom boom!"

Fangzheng saw a series of fireballs shot out from one of the pirate ships with a black flag, blasting towards the target ahead. And soon, in front of the fireball, the flickering magic radiance formed a barrier to block the bombardment of the fireball. For a while, the fire burst out, and countless flames exploded and sprayed. Although Fang Zheng could not directly cause damage to the target in front, Fang Zheng could It was clearly seen that the stern of the ship had begun to smoke and catch fire, and its speed had also begun to decrease as a result.

"Unfortunately, those damned devils!"

Seeing this scene, Fox also showed a fearful expression, while Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"You know them?"

"Of course, sir, as long as anyone who lives in this sea does not know the name of the 'Devil Sarn' pirate group, it is said that their head is a mage, and through a deal with hell, he and his subordinates Transformed into some kind of evil and powerful existence, they can use the flames from hell at will, and it is also everyone's nightmare."

Speaking of this, Fox's expression became more and more tense, he clenched the telescope in his hand, his face was livid.

"I didn't expect it to be them...Damn, these guys are hard to deal with...!"

"In other words, a battle is inevitable?"

"I'm afraid it is."

Hearing Fangzheng's inquiry, Fox sighed helplessly.

"They are the most ferocious robbers in this sea area. It is rumored that almost no one can come back alive in front of them. I really didn't expect our luck to be so bad... Sir, please go back to the cabin with a few ladies to hide. It's not safe here."

"No, I don't think so."

But to Fox's surprise, Fangzheng shook his head, rejecting his proposal, and then he looked at the girls not far from him. Because of the sound of the horn, the girls who were originally in the cabin had already come out at this moment, standing on the deck and watching the battle in the distance curiously. Even Kuria, who lay dead in her cabin as soon as she boarded the ship, was no exception—this poor child knew for the first time that she was actually suffering from an incurable disease called "seasickness".

At this time, the three ships were getting closer and closer to the Black Crow. Although Fox had ordered his ship to get out of the way, judging from the situation of that ship, it was really doubtful that it might have passed. It won't be long before it sinks completely.

And at the same time, the three ships had naturally noticed the existence of the Black Crow, but the ship that escaped in front obviously couldn't do anything, and the two pirate ships that followed did not hesitate. Shells were fired at the Black Crow. Although they failed to hit the Black Crow, their intentions were already obvious.

"Tilia."

"Here, brother, what's the matter?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's call, Tilia came to Fang Zheng with a smile, and took his arm coquettishly.

"Kill them, don't open the seal."

"Okay, please leave it to me."

Hearing Fang Zheng's order, Tilia smiled sweetly, and then the sailors, Fox and others on the deck watched in amazement that the noble lady in a gorgeous pink dress jumped quietly, and then she was like a dexterous bird General stood on the top of the tall mast, and then, Tilia raised the parasol in her hand and aimed at the pirate ship ahead.

The next moment, a bright red beam pierced the air and shot straight at the pirate ship in front of him.

The energy beam condensed by the power of existence roared past, and even the surrounding air and sea water involuntarily gave way to this strong pressure impact. And the mage on the pirate ship was obviously not an idiot either. At the same time as Tilia made a move, jets of black smoke suddenly emerged from the pirate ship, and then the smoke quickly condensed and turned into a hard and smooth piece like a mirror. Like a barrier, blocking the front of the pirate ship.

At the same time, Fangzheng also raised his right hand.

The mysterious magical power danced and formed at his fingertips, spread out in an imperceptible wave, and entangled with the opposite barrier. In the blink of an eye, the barrier quickly collapsed and disintegrated. At the same time, with a flick of Fang Zheng's finger, a dimensional anchor flew out, covering the entire sea area.

At the same time, the light beam shot by Tilia also roared through the magic barrier that was on the verge of breaking, and directly blasted on the pirate ship.

"boom!!"

Bright red and dazzling flame clouds erupted from the middle of the pirate ship and went straight into the sky. The explosion of the violent force of existence burst the entire pirate ship like a balloon in an instant, and the raging power mercilessly melted everything involved in it. For dust. Even the sea itself couldn't withstand the violent explosion, and a huge hole appeared. The strong explosive force even made a huge vortex appear on the sea surface. It spun crazily and absorbed everything around it. The wreckage of the pirate ship was completely submerged in the sea water.

This sudden scene left everyone dumbfounded. Except for Fang Zheng, Nimfu and Hecate, everyone else stared in surprise, looking at Tilia standing on the top of the mast, and the treasure she was holding in her hand. That parasol. Naturally, the other pirate ship would not be so stupid as to continue moving forward. It frantically tried to turn around and back away, but its hull only turned halfway, and another beam of light burst out from Tilia's parasol, hitting it with incomparable precision. The hull of the pirate ship, after a while, that pirate ship, like its companions, fell into the fate of complete destruction.

"very good."

Seeing the scene in front of him, Fangzheng nodded in satisfaction, and then he glanced at Captain Fox standing there dumbstruck, motionless.

"Now, the danger is gone."
