Chapter 208 [0206] A New Era
The letter Tam left behind looked like an invitation letter, written in twisted demon language.
Although Kalja could understand part of it, he still asked Lux to destroy it directly. Judging from the demon language on the letter, it seemed that the content was about secrets. Unfortunately, Kalja did not intend to read it carefully.
From the appearance of this letter, it seems that Kalja deceived Tam.
But no one dared to guarantee the real situation - even among many demons, Tam was the most cunning one. If it was not necessary, Kalja did not want to have any intersection with him for the time being.
With Kalja's reminder, Lux was on guard for quite a while, but Tam did not appear again.
This greedy demon seemed to have left.
"Sarah and Gangplank should be almost done fighting, right?" Lux, relieved, turned around and looked for her dinghy. After searching for a long time, she finally decided to walk back on water. "I don't know if Sarah can win..."
"It depends on Sarah herself." Kalya didn't dare to guarantee it. "She passed the test of Illaoi, but the combination of Gangplank and the ghost ship is indeed strong enough. The outcome is still unknown!"
"So, should we go and help now?"
"You can only make trouble if you go now." Kalya simply rejected this idea. "You are short of mana, tired, and you have used uncontrolled spells. I guess you will be bedridden for the next three days. You need to go back and have a good rest now. "
"But I am worried." Lux looked at the occasional fire in the black fog and hesitated, "If the winner is Gangplank..."
"Then he can't be the king again." Kalya said straightforwardly, "Whether he wins or loses, Gangplank's era is over - don't forget, Illaoi is still here!"
"Illaoi..."
Lux wanted to say something, but the severe headache interrupted her thoughts, so she could only shut up and speed up her pace. She needed to return to the land of Bilgewater while she still had magic power.
……………………
Lux drove Tam away.
On the other side, the battle between the Siren and the Abyss also reached the final moment.
Just as Lux worried, in this sea battle between the new king and the old king, the Abyss completely suppressed the Siren.
Although the sailors under Sarah's command were all old sea dogs, the stormtroopers were brave and fearless, and the gunners were lucky, unfortunately, they were still too immature compared to Gangplank and his ghost sailors.
In addition, the Siren was inferior to the Abyss in terms of the number of guns, deck thickness, ammunition performance, and hull size. The two sides were in line at the same time, and after a round of bombardment from the broadside guns at the edge of the vortex, the Siren simply couldn't hold on.
The power of the Noxians' high-explosive bombs was really amazing. Every shot that the Siren received at close range meant that a sealed cabin lost its effect.
In a last resort, seeing that the artillery bombardment was completely at a disadvantage, Sarah simply arranged a boarding battle - the draft of the ghost ship was unusually deep, which gave Sarah a chance to fight at close range and fight to the death.
"Get out of the way, the high-explosive bombs of the Abyss, we have a chance!"
So, after giving up the position for parallel engagement, the right front port of the Siren extended a ladder and a hook to the deck of the Abyss.
Sarah, Raven, Drizzt, and Graves, who were well prepared, each took up their weapons and rushed to the deck of the Abyss with the Death Squadron.
Sarah's double guns had limited lethality against ghosts, but she was not limited to using double guns - having passed the test of Illaoi, Sarah could easily dismember ghosts with even a butcher knife, making it difficult for them to put themselves together for a while.
Although Raven's lethality was insufficient, he protected the flank very well.
Drizzt and Graves cooperated well, breaking through with large-caliber shotguns and clever card slips, and they broke through the obstruction of ghost sailors on the left and right.
With these four people leading the way, even though these ghost sailors could get up by themselves soon after being chopped down, the Siren's stormtroopers still quickly cleared the deck after suffering certain casualties.
Gangplank did not appear at the first time.
Just relying on these slightly sluggish ghost sailors, it is impossible to stop Sarah who has been recognized by Nagakabouros!
The situation looks good.
However, the good times did not last long.
Just when the entire front deck was about to fall into the hands of the stormtroopers and the sailors of the subsequent Siren began to prepare to board, Gangplank appeared.
As the Ocean Disaster walked out of the captain's room and revealed his green eyes, the ghost sailors of the Abyss seemed to have found the backbone and began to cooperate with each other in a familiar and tacit manner.
At the same time, the Abyss, which was originally just a tattered ship, now seemed to come alive and began to reject and even attack the living.
The situation of the stormtroopers suddenly became worse.
The stormtroopers who rushed onto the deck with Sarah soon encountered a terrible stranglehold, and the ladders and hooks connecting the Siren and the Abyss were also cut off, and many subsequent climbing sailors fell directly into the sea.
What's more troublesome is that after the connection was untied, the two ships quickly staggered.
In this situation, Raven, Drizzt, and Graves all fired at full power in tacit agreement, temporarily blocking the undead that were surrounding them.
Sarah seized this opportunity, took the initiative to find Gangplank, and challenged him.
Faced with Sarah's provocation, Plank readily accepted the challenge.
By relying solely on siege, Sarah would most likely be able to escape directly with Drizzt's help - but in a one-on-one duel, she couldn't escape.
As long as Sarah is eliminated in this naval battle, Gangplank will return as the king!
Although times have changed and his identity has changed, when it comes to Bilgewater, Gangplank's thinking has not changed at all - he wants to punish all those who disobey him and order the entire Bilgewater!
……………………
Holding the sailor sword in one hand, Sarah put her other hand on the handle of the gun at her waist.
The outcome of the battle with Gangplank was hard to say, but at this time Sarah had no time to think about success or failure.
In the previous trial of Naga Kapoulos, she went through a long period of self-torture and soul training. She was once very confused and didn't know where the future was, but fortunately, Lux provided her with a new way. Possibly - out of revenge, she began to think about changing Bilgewater.
It was this thought and desire that allowed her to successfully survive Nagakapoulos' trial, allowing her to stand in front of Gangplank at this time.
"Hahahaha, come on." Sarah pulled out the sailor sword from its sheath and let out a hearty laugh, "Glank, thank you for giving me this opportunity for face-to-face revenge - during that fireworks show, What I regret most is that I didn’t see your twisted face when you lost everything.”
"Then you are destined to be disappointed." Planck also pushed out the scoop, "or you can find a mirror now, look at yourself before you breathe, look at your wolf and stupidity, alas, blindly, this one is blind, this one is blind, this one is blind, this one is blind, this one is blind, this one is blind, this one is blind, this one is blind, this one is blind, this one is blind, this one is blind. So young.”
Normally faced with such frivolous words, Sarah would be furious even if she remained calm on her face.
But this time, she was unusually calm, so much so that when Gangplank took the opportunity to pull out his pistol neatly, pointed it at Sarah and pulled the trigger, she reacted immediately.
Almost at the moment Gangplank took action, Sarah lowered her body and raised her pistol.
Unlike Gangplank's single-shot gun, Sarah's pistol fired continuously - after pointing it at Gangplank, she directly pressed the trigger to death, and the lead bullets rained down so that Gangplank had to avoid them. Edge.
Although he was already half undead, Gangplank did not stupidly accept the hail of bullets. He bent down and grabbed a cable. After swinging on the deck, he drew a graceful S-shape. Path, came directly in front of Sarah, then raised his scimitar and struck Sarah hard.
Gangplank is full of confidence in his physical strength. Coupled with his powerful demon arms... melee combat is where he is most confident!
Sarah threw away the pistol with one empty magazine and held the knife in both hands to block Gangplank's blow.
The two knives intersected, and with a harsh collision sound, Sarah staggered back two steps.
In terms of strength alone, she is far behind Gangplank.
"Haha, that's it?" Gangplank stepped forward and raised his scimitar again, "A man hiding behind the scenes and plotting - nothing more than that!"
Before she finished speaking, Sarah had already taken out another pistol, opened the safety with one hand, and pulled the trigger again.
At the same time, the scimitar in her right hand stabbed Gangplank's heart like a poisonous snake.
The flying lead bullets swept continuously in a fan shape, and Gangplank, who was still taunting just now, was directly hit - his chest was penetrated, and the white bones could even be seen from the wound!
The shooting seems to work well.
But even so, Gangplank still used the scimitar in his right hand to completely block Sarah's thrust. Not only that, he also relied on the strength advantage of the devil's hand to slash with the sword and cut it off with one blow. Sarah used the sailor sword to block.
After cutting off Sarah's sailor sword, the scimitar in Gangplank's hand remained unabated and directly cut open Sarah's lower ribs.
There was no burning sensation in the wound, and an indescribable coldness completely overwhelmed Sarah.
The next moment, Gangplank raised his scimitar again.
"I saw your parents, you can say hello to them for me." Gangplank slashed the scimitar in his hand, "Farewell, bounty girl!"
However, at this critical moment, the battle on Tam's side ended.
As Tam retreated, an indescribable weakness appeared on Gangplank's right hand.
After the owner was injured and retreated, that strong demon's right hand lost its astonishing strength and became extremely weak, as if due to muscular dystrophy!
This sudden change caused Gangplank's movements to deform. He originally wanted to kill Sarah completely with a sharp knife, but after the strength of his right hand was gone, the knife was directly chopped.
Gangplank's knife was on Sarah's left shoulder, cutting off nearly a pound of flesh, but it was not able to cut her in two.
Sarah, on the other hand, seized this rare opportunity, quickly raised her gun and turned on the safety.
The chest is not a weakness.
Then try your brain!
There was no need for any aiming. Sarah was connected with her pistol. She just raised her hand very naturally, and the muzzle of her gun was pointed directly at Gangplank's head!
"boom!"
A shotgun blast hit Gangplank's head at close range, smashing half of his face.
Gangplank's body, as strong as an ox, collapsed.
Just as Sarah pulled the trigger, his left hand was also holding the gun.
But no matter what, Planck was a step slower after all - when he fell to the ground, his finger pulled the trigger out of inertia.
"Boom -"
Planck's bullet finally shot into the sky.
……………………
The coldness of the wound and the weakness of losing a lot of blood made Sarah see stars.
But even so, she still stepped forward and shot Planck several more times.
As Planck twitched unconsciously on the deck, the entire Abyss seemed to stagnate. The ghost sailors who had been moving in an orderly manner were now obviously sluggish.
However, Sarah saw clearly that Planck was not really destroyed.
His body was slowly being repaired, and his soul fire was not extinguished. The Abyss was still moving the cable, trying to drag its captain to a safe place...
Planck was no longer a human.
Maybe it won't be long before he wakes up.
By then, the Abyss will become active again.
The battle seemed to have only reached the halftime stage, but Sarah had already tried her best.
She couldn't play the second half anyway.
In this situation, Sarah narrowed her eyes.
She raised her head slightly, glanced at the Siren, which had finally seized the T-head, and a sad smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Bending down, barely holding the wound on her lower ribs, Sarah picked up another gun while trembling and took out a tracer bullet from her pocket.
"Drizzt, take Raven away." She said weakly, "Your mission is completed, my treasure... he knows where it is."
Drizzt and Raven widened their eyes together.
"I'll watch this bastard." Sarah pouted at Planck on the deck and continued, "Don't worry, this bastard is destined to have no chance of returning as a king."
As she spoke, Sarah loaded the tracer bullet into the magazine, then raised the pistol high and pulled the trigger.
A red line shot out of the gun barrel, and finally exploded into a rose firework in the sky above the Abyss.
This is a signal to the Siren.
Its meaning is...fire at the target.
Raven pounced on Sarah, but Drizzt hit him on the head without hesitation, then dragged him and Graves into a circle of card magic circles flashing with golden light.
The Siren's artillery fire port was opened.
Sarah collapsed weakly on the ground, looking at Gangplank who was still repairing himself, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth again.
The Siren's artillery fuse was lit.
Sarah raised her hand and shot Gangplank who moved his finger.
Then, countless shells roared and hit the Abyss, breaking its deck and breaking its mast, like a wave of flames.
The Abyss began to sink, and the huge thousand-foot hull caused a whirlpool on the sea.
After being teleported out and falling down on the deck of the Siren, Drizzt didn't look at Raven who was crying at his feet, but struggled to get up and quietly took off his hat.
The Siren no longer had the singing Siren.
The Abyss was about to return to the Abyss again.
However, just when the Abyss was about to sink completely, the vortex that engulfed the ghost ship suddenly became larger and larger.
In the astonished eyes of the sailors, countless translucent tentacles stretched out from the vortex under the Abyss, like a gorgeous flower blooming on the sea.
As the "petals" opened, Sarah, who had lost consciousness, quietly floated in the air.
At the same time, Illaoi's low voice appeared in everyone's ears.
"The vortex is the supreme, and the action is the supreme-an unparalleled day."
Karya's small class·The vortex is the supreme, the action is the supreme, and the unparalleled day:
These three sentences are all Illaoi's lines.
