Chapter 346 When the Legend Is No Longer a Legend

After this kind of crossbow hits the prey, it will be firmly nailed to the prey.

Then those large marine creatures will float in the sea for a long time with the ship, and then they will be boiled to death.

This kind of crossbow is very familiar to the Commons family who have been living at sea all year round. Not only are they familiar with it, but they often use it.

But they didn't use it to hunt whales, but to hunt merchant ships on the west coast.

Once shot, the next step is the battle.

Obviously, this is what Army Leader Yongye will do next.

Compared with the large ships of the Commons family, the large ships led by the Yongye Army have no advantages in draft and impact resistance.

But compared to the loading capacity, there is no comparison between the two. The leading ship of the Eternal Night Army is three to five times that of the battleships of the Commons family, only a lot more.

What makes the sailors of the Commons family even more tingly is that they were chasing after the main force of the Yong Ye army retreating from Brother Port.

In other words, the lead ship of the Eternal Night Army is now carrying their main force.

Under the reflection of the setting sun, all the lights on the tall ship were the unique cold light of heavy armor.

In close combat with heavy armored infantry, even the brave sailors of the Commons family have no idea.

This is totally cheating.

People like the Commons family who live on the water all the year round don't have much armor, let alone leather armor.

Because once it falls into the water, these redundant burdens will be fatal.

Those who can buy a sharkskin leather armor for themselves are all small officers with some status, and most sailors go into battle with bare arms.

If everyone is in the same situation, there is no fairness or injustice.

But once one party wears heavy armor and boards the warship, it will be a disaster for the other party.

From top to bottom, the battleship of the Commons family shouted frantically, "Cut the rope, cut the rope, and never let them come closer."

Some experienced old sailors have already acted spontaneously, dragging the rope and sliding down with their swords biting, slashing at the whale hunting crossbow rope.

The whale-hunting crossbow rope shot from the lead ship of the Eternal Night Army is only as thick as two thumbs together, and it doesn't look very strong. The sharp war knives polished by those elite veterans fell on it, not to mention cutting them off by the roots. After several knives, not even a small wire was broken.

They are half suspended in the air like this, it is difficult to use their strength on the one hand, the main thing is that the rope of the Yong Ye Army leader does not require much effort.

These ropes were specially made by the Yongye military leader, and they were woven with the special bird hunting spider silk in his own territory.

In terms of toughness, it is much less tough than steel wire ropes, and it also has toughness that steel wire ropes do not have.

"Burning with fire, burning with fire!" Some clever sailors of the Commons family thought of a new way, replacing the sharp blade with a torch.

Some directly poured fire oil on the rope of the whale hunting crossbow.

But the expected spread did not occur. Even after pouring kerosene, most of what burned was kerosene. The rope made of bird hunting spider silk just started to glow red like a steel wire rope, but there was no sign of breaking or burning.

The ignition point of this kind of rope is unimaginably high, and it is difficult to ignite them with ordinary flames, which is a bit contrary to ordinary physical properties.

This characteristic is naturally not natural, but cultivated by the leader of Yong Ye.

As I said before, once anything is related to magical energy, it will have the characteristics of breaking common sense.

Strictly speaking, the bird hunting spiders cultivated by the Yong Ye army on a large scale are already a kind of monsters. However, due to artificial selection factors, their abilities are not reflected in themselves, but in the spider silk they produce. .

Improved toughness is just icing on the cake.

This kind of super fire resistance is where it really shines, making their practicality and application range wider.

Of course, this kind of burning point is only relative. No matter how the bird hunting spider silk is changed, it cannot change the nature of the biological material. It is impossible to have a burning point like steel. After being calcined by the fire for a period of time, it will still become relatively soft. An ax, a machete, or a knife can still chop them off.

But the problem is that it is impossible for the Yong Ye army leader to leave them so much reaction time. Just as they were dealing with the ropes of the whale hunting crossbows nailed to the battleship, more whale hunting crossbows had already been shot at, and the distance between the two sides was within 10 minutes. Keep zooming in.

In addition to the whale hunting crossbow, there are more claw ropes hooked on the battleship of the Commons family.

Countless assault warships led by the Yong Ye army have already shuttled over like swimming fish, leaning closely on the Commons family warships, and launched a battle to snatch the ships.

In the battlefield deliberately created by the leader of Yongye, those small boats are more useful than big ones.

After being unable to move, these large warships became out-and-out targets.

The dragon bone warship, the flagship of the Commons family, was naturally targeted by the Yong Ye army leader, and two large ships headed towards it.

One of them is the Panshi, the flagship of the Eternal Night Army, more precisely, the Panshi No. 1, and the Explorer is the one assisting it.

More interesting is.

The energy shield of the dragon bone battleship is not triggered indiscriminately, at least it cannot react to the arrow rain of the leader of Yong Ye.

But for the whale hunting crossbow arrows, the moment it hits, an energy shield will pop out, and it will be directly bounced away.

Obviously, this difference should be whether it will cause relatively serious damage to the dragon bone battleship or not. This kind of energy shield is probably not artificially manipulated, but passively triggered.

After realizing that the whale hunting crossbow could not take effect on it, the commander of the Yongye army decisively changed his strategy and directly used the trebuchet to throw the huge anchor at the dragon skeleton battleship.

This thing will not cause puncture damage to the body of the Dragon Skeleton Battleship, it depends on whether you still play it or not.

Facts have proved that Yong Ye's guess is not wrong.

The energy shield did not appear until the anchor was in actual contact with the dragon skeleton battleship. It was not until the solid anchor was slammed down heavily that the energy shield appeared belatedly, resisting most of the impact of the anchor. , but the anchor was successfully hung on the dragon skeleton battleship.

After more than a dozen attempts, the four anchors of Panshi No. 1 and Explorer were hung on the dragon skeleton battleship at the same time.

Even if the dragon skeleton battleship is a strong dragon crossing the river, it is still a little bit stuck at this moment.

While being held back by the two building boats, a large number of assault warships swarmed up.

The contrast between the two sides is like elephants and hyenas.

In normal times, an elephant can trample several hyenas to death as long as it lifts its feet slightly. The difference in size between the two is too great.

But the problem is that now the elephant is tied up with four legs, and there are groups of hyenas, swarming up.

The situation is not so good.

Although it turned over, it could still crush a group of hyenas to death, but it couldn't stand up to a large number.

There are too many ants and they can still eat dead elephants.

What's more, the leaders of the Yongye army are not ants, and they are not fighting alone.

Just when the warships of the two sides rushed together.

On both sides of the Danube River, countless crocodile people rushed out pushing their boats, shouting excitedly and rushing up.

Indistinctly, one can also distinguish from the waves of human voices, shouts such as "kill them all" and "snatch their warships".

Even ordinary crocodile soldiers can tell that this is a rare and good situation. Once they miss this time, they will never have the chance to eat the Commons family fleet again.

Therefore, without the encouragement of the elders of the crocodile tribe, the soldiers of the crocodile tribe marched forward bravely one by one.

They have been frustrated for too long.

They lost the west bank of the Swamp of Despair, they lost Misty Lake, they lost Port of Brothers.

Once they retreat to the Andis Mountain behind the Death God Waterway, they will lose the entire Desperate Swamp, their people, and their homeland where their ancestors lived for generations.

This is something that every bloody crocodile is unwilling to see.

As long as they can win the battleship of the Commons family, they can reverse the situation and the entire battle in the Swamp of Despair.

This is what the wise officers of the Yong Ye army told them. Originally, they didn't believe it, but at this moment, they believed it.

"Captain, let's break out of the siege! If you can withdraw one ship, if you continue to entangle, our Third Fleet will be trapped here." Bray, the deputy captain of the dragon skeleton battleship, suggested again.

So far, there are only seven or eight warships in the Commons family fleet that have been encircled by the Eternal Night Army, and most of the rest are still outside the range of the Yongye Army's top artillery bombardment.

The Commons family fleet did not gather the entire fleet in the previous pursuit. Instead, it was divided into two echelons, echoing each other and supporting each other. No matter which echelon was attacked, the other would respond immediately.

It's just that the traps prepared by the leader of the Yongye army are too vicious, targeting the weaknesses of the Commons family's warships everywhere, this section of waters has now become an out-and-out water swamp, if one comes in, one will fall into it.

The second echelon of the Commons family's fleet, rushing in now will not help much, but will make the situation even more chaotic. The already extremely congested battlefield will directly become solid. Can't run.

The commander of the second echelon of the Commons family fleet is also a smart man. He noticed this at the first time and did not rush forward blindly. Instead, he turned the bow of the ship with difficulty to prepare for the retreat, and at the same time threw stones at the first echelon. and arrow support.

The effect is obviously quite limited.

Before the large-scale rise of firearms, long-range attack methods for naval warfare were quite scarce.

Even the Commons family, who are at the forefront of the shipbuilding industry, is no exception.

The most lethal move of their warships is ship collision.

When this move was abolished, the combat power of their warships, if alive, lost two-thirds.

As for the string battle, just look at the crowds on the entire Danube River, and the Commons family warships are at an absolute disadvantage.

As I said before, the Commons family is just a strong dragon crossing the river, while the Yongye army leader and the crocodile tribe are the real local snakes.

When Stubin ignored this point and chased all the way to the door of someone's house, he was doomed to fail.

Stubbs' teeth were about to bleed, and the pain in his heart could no longer be described in words.

The Third Fleet is the foundation of his survival. Every battleship is earned by him, and every sailor and crew member is personally selected by him.

Now they are dying and falling before themselves.

Seeing the soldiers of the Yong Ye army rushing onto his battleship like a tide, Stubin felt that his whole body was about to burn, but he was powerless.

One wrong step, one wrong step.

When he was clinging to the Yong Ye Army's collar, he had already committed an unforgivable mistake.

Knowing the trap just now, he still chose to move forward.

It's hard to say right now or wrong.

Just like what Stubin said before, if they turned in the previous waters, they would become living targets, and the Eternal Night Army leader would also launch a counterattack.

There is no regret medicine to sell in the world.

What Stubbs should consider now is how to stop the loss. It is obviously impossible to withdraw with the Commons family fleet in one piece.

Now that the situation has reversed, the Yong Ye army leader will definitely bite them hard,

"Each warship finds a way to retreat on its own!" Stubin red-eyed and gave the order he was least willing to give.

At this time, Stubin didn't give up hope, and his confidence naturally came from his flagship, the Dragon Skeleton Battleship.

At the moment of giving the order, Stubin had already pressed on the dragon skeleton battleship with a solemn expression.

Roar!

There was a roar louder than thunder in the clear sky, and a huge phantom appeared on the Dragon Skeleton Battleship.

"That's... that's... that's a dragon?"

"There are two horns on the head, a ferocious face, five claws on the feet, and dragon wings covering the sky... It's really a giant dragon. Is the legend true? The dragon bone warship of the Commons family is really made of dragon bone as the keel ship?"

"God is above, the legend is true, the legend is true, there really are dragons in this world."

"Don't panic, don't panic, keep rushing up for me, it's just a phantom, it's a blindfold, it's not a real dragon, you bastard, get up for me, a dead thing will scare you like this, do it for you We are warriors of the crocodile tribe, don't forget, we are not fighting for ourselves, but for our people, for our homeland, not to mention a dead thing, even if a real dragon appears in front of us, for our homeland , we also want to slaughter him, for the sake of our homeland, for the clansmen, go ahead."

"They are going to run. All the ropes, which can be tied firmly, are all tied up for me. Even if they really become dragons, I can't let them fly out."

"First Legion, the whole army is attacking."

"Second Legion, the whole army is attacking."

"Third Legion, the whole army is attacking."

"The giant dragon attacks and is invincible, drive them out of our battleship, kill them!"

"Stop the enemy, you must block the enemy, follow the flagship closely, and take the opportunity to rush out. This is our last chance."

That's right, just now, the figure of a giant dragon appeared in the sky above the Dragon Skeleton Battleship in such a majestic manner.

To be more precise, it is half, and most of it overlaps with the dragon skeleton battleship.

Although this phantom of the giant dragon only lasted for a few seconds, it was enough for half of the people on the battlefield to see it.

The impact is self-evident.

Like elves, giants, and gods, dragons are creatures that exist only in legends.

Even whether they really existed in this land, there is great controversy, after all, no one has seen their traces with their own eyes.

Now it suddenly appeared in front of him, even if it was just a phantom, people couldn't accept it for a while.

It's just a phantom, that kind of ferocious power, rushing towards the face, making people breathless, what kind of situation is this kind of creature when it is alive?

When the phantom of the giant dragon on the dragon skeleton battleship appeared, several emotions appeared on the entire battlefield.

One is naturally dominated by fear. It is not so much that they are frightened by the phantom of the dragon, but rather that they are dominated by their emotions.

It is not known whether the giant dragon had the ability to dominate fear, but its phantom, even if it is made of magical energy, does not have it.
