Chapter 165 Breaking Out of the Shell (Two Chapters in One)
At this time, in the captain's lounge on the 'Wreck', Captain Mala Nasr, who was dressed in a black robe, was not playing with his bottles and cans. Instead, he was having a rare conversation with his first mate and sailor. Discussing things.
The first mate is a one-eyed middle-aged man with a sinewy face and a fierce aura. He obviously has the strength of at least a senior knight or above. He just heard him say: "Boss, why do you oppose the cooperation between the Bloody Hand boss and the Eagle Federation?"
"I saw the fifty matchlock guns they brought this time. They are well-made and powerful. They seem to be very sincere."
"Although this kind of matchlock gun poses no threat to our extraordinary knights, for our brothers, having one more of this kind of matchlock gun can greatly improve their combat effectiveness."
"Yes, boss, you talk to the Bloody Hand boss and give us more of the 'Shipwreck'. The brothers below have been complaining to me all day." The boatswain is a bearded man. At this time, Also echoed from the side.
Mara looked up at the two of them with a worried expression and said: "We can cooperate with other pirates, but if we cooperate with the Eagle Federation, I'm afraid that if the empire finds out, we will become a thorn in the side of the empire and a thorn in its flesh! "
"And, do you think the Eagle Federation is really here to help us? They just want to use our hands to further weaken the Imperial Navy."
The one-eyed first mate and the bearded boatswain were not stupid people. When they heard Mara's words, they immediately reacted and looked at each other.
"Boss, why don't you do some divination?" The one-eyed middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and seemed to have thought of something before he said.
"I have done a divination, and although the results are good or not, I always feel something is wrong, as if the divination was interfered with by something." Mala explained as he paced.
"However, I plan to do divination again now!" Mara's pale face condensed.
This time, he planned to try the 'Blood Grass Divination Technique', which was a more advanced divination technique than the 'Water Grass Divination Technique'.
The 'Blood Grass Divination Technique' requires the diviner's own blood to be mixed into the water plants to improve the accuracy of divination.
However, this more advanced divination technique is rarely used by Mara due to the damage to the body.
But the wizard apprentice's keen sense seemed to remind him that danger was approaching, especially starting tonight, his eyelids kept twitching!
Dockside.
The attack on the Bloodsail Pirates' flagship 'Bloodsail' has been launched. It is led by four naval officers with peak knight strength. The navy's assault force follows closely behind. The rear admiral and another master are responsible for suppressing the battle.
Among them, fifteen people from the naval assault force were left behind. Under the leadership of another naval officer, they seemed to be preparing to attack the 'Wreck' simultaneously.
"By the way, Leonard, how long will the divination interference within Merit Island continue to end?"
"My lord, it will continue until dawn. If the person who performs divination is only a wizard apprentice, I don't think there will be any problems." A naval colonel behind the major general said confidently.
Performing 'Divination Interference' is a routine operation performed in some special operations.
The rear admiral nodded, then turned to the middle-aged man with a mustache in hunting clothes and said:
"Your Excellency Theo, let's go together to meet 'Bloody Hand Willy' and the courier of the Eagle Federation."
"Of course, I also want to see the style of 'Bloody Willy'." The head of the assessment team named Theo agreed with a smile on his face.
"Huh!"
At this time, the rear admiral seemed to sense something and turned his head to look in the direction of Renn.
At this time, Renn, who was holding a two-handed weapon in each hand, whispered a spell.
"High temperature force field!"
As a low spell sounded, three seconds later, some kind of change faintly appeared around Ren's body.
Although from an outsider's perspective, Ren's body can still be seen clearly, the temperature difference causes changes in air density, resulting in refraction of light.
To put it simply, if the enemy stabs Renn's eye with a sword, there may be a slight deviation and instead it stabs Renn's forehead or other nearby parts.
The next second, Ren's figure suddenly grew sharply, and his muscles grew two full circles as if he were blowing air!
Fortunately, he changed to leather armor made of otter skin this time. The elasticity of leather armor is much better than that of metal plate armor, so it didn't explode all of a sudden.
I saw Renn using the action of throwing a javelin, violently throwing the gigantic sword in his hand towards the stern of the three-masted sailing ship "The Wreck" twenty or thirty meters away!
"Whoosh!!!"
In an instant, the sword was like a giant arrow, shooting straight towards the stern of the ship at an extremely high speed. The speed was so fast that only a bright afterimage could be seen.
When the sound reached everyone's ears, the sword had already been nailed to the hull of the stern of the ship. After a "long journey" of tens of meters, about half a meter was still pierced through the extremely thick hull of the sailboat, and one meter was exposed. The shining swords on the left and right were buzzing and vibrating.
And Renn, who had activated the 'Limit Breaking' and the extraordinary characteristic 'Giant Strength LV3', pushed hard and rushed straight from the pier to a small boat moored on the shore.
The next second, Ren stepped on the deck of the boat, and instantly there was an overwhelming "crunching" sound from the deck.
It turned out that Ren was using the boat as a 'transit station'. His kick was so powerful that he immediately pushed down the entire hull of the boat by dozens of centimeters.
Then, he leaped into the air again like a big bird, flying to the stern of the three-masted sailing ship ‘Shipwreck’.
At this moment, the beautiful female naval lieutenant Marika on the beach opened her cherry mouth wide enough to fit an apple, her beautiful eyes wide open, and she couldn’t come back to her senses for a long time.
It seemed that her face was forever fixed on this expression.
When Ryan had already flown directly from the dock to the stern of the ‘Shipwreck’, she came back to her senses and murmured: “He has such strength, why doesn’t he join others. And what is he going to do?”
“Stern.”
The red-haired girl Evelyn’s beautiful eyes suddenly widened twice, watching Ryan’s bird-like figure flying directly to the stern of the ‘Shipwreck’, but in her head, she was quickly thinking about Ryan’s intention to do this.
The few actions just now have shown that Ryan is definitely a master who is not inferior to her.
But she still doesn’t understand Ryan’s intention to do this now!
Why not take the ordinary gangplank to enter the ‘Shipwreck’?
At this moment, the gangplank of the ‘Shipwreck’ has not been removed and is still connected to the dock. With his strength, it should be easy to kill directly in.
This ran to the stern
Could it be that he thought that there would be fewer people landing on the deck from the stern?
It seems that this is the only explanation!
The red-haired girl nodded and thought to herself.
And the naval officer standing next to the female major Marika, whose strength reached the peak knight, naturally looked at Ryan with surprise. An idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
It is this kid in front of him who may give them an explosive scene.
In addition, he murmured slightly: "This is definitely not a formal knight who has just entered the extraordinary. Even the muscle changes of senior knights are not so exaggerated. Could it be that the other party is..."
The rear admiral and the middle-aged man of the assessment team who were farther away raised their eyebrows, and their eyes were obviously surprised.
"Are you going to attack the captain's room directly?"
"But the hull thickness of the three-masted sailing ship is more than 30 centimeters." The middle-aged man with a mustache seemed to see Ryan's purpose at a glance and said in a low voice.
"It should be." The rear admiral nodded and agreed with the view of the middle-aged noble with a mustache.
Just as everyone on the shore was watching what Ryan would do next.
Ryan's feet landed during his descent and stood firmly on the glimmering giant sword inserted horizontally on the hull.
Due to his own weight and the impact of the high jump just now, the sword body mixed with star iron was extremely flexible. At this moment, Ryan immediately bent his knees and prepared to jump.
Ryan's bent knees suddenly exerted force to straighten them. With the upward elastic force of the sword body, Ryan held the heavy pig-headed hammer and suddenly jumped more than four meters high.
"Power burst!"
At the same time, his already bulging muscles swelled again, and he swung the pig-head hammer with both hands - 'indestructible force', rotating 360 degrees from bottom to top, and hammered hard at the heavy hull where the small round window was located with a rotating force.
Because that is the captain's lounge of the 'Shipwreck'!
"Rising Dragon Hammer!"
At this time, in the captain's lounge of the 'Shipwreck'.
Mara was biting his finger and pouring blood drop by drop on a slender water grass.
Suddenly, he seemed to vaguely see a black shadow flashing through the small window on the side of the ship in the captain's room.
Just as he was confused and looked at it intently.
Suddenly!
"Bang!"
In front of his table, the 30-centimeter-thick wooden hull exploded!
Under the action of a huge force, countless tiny wooden spikes instantly splashed around!
The edges of these wood pieces of different sizes and shapes were extremely sharp, like bullets coming at high speed, rushing towards Mara and the other three in the room like a tidal wave!
If it was just the hull fragments, it would not be a big deal, because the three of them were all at the extraordinary level and would only suffer some superficial injuries at most.
But just as the three raised their hands to block the wood pieces from attacking their eyes, something that shocked Mara happened!
Through the gap between his fingers, he saw a huge heavy hammer shining with a black metallic luster, which was suddenly attacking his forehead from top to bottom along with the flying wood chip storm.
"Earth-splitting hammer!"
At this moment, the wizard apprentice instinct in Mara's body instantly overwhelmed the knight instinct. His first reaction was not to roll over to avoid, but to immediately use his mental power to trigger the life-saving amulet on his chest.
This amulet is a one-time instant witchcraft prop. Mara would never be willing to use it unless it was a critical moment.
Just like the sudden wood chip storm just now, he was reluctant to use it.
"Ah!!!"
With Mara's scream, the amulet on his chest suddenly exploded, and at the same time, a water-blue film instantly wrapped Mara in it.
With the protection of this shield-like film, Mara was no longer panicked in the face of the heavy hammer, and his horrified face suddenly calmed down a lot.
"Sizzle!!!"
The dense black spikes on the tip of the black pig-head hammer hit the water-blue film heavily, and immediately, a huge dent was made in the film.
Then, with Mala's disbelieving look on his face, the thickest and longest spike actually penetrated the 'water film shield' that he relied on to save his life.
Although it only penetrated a little, the black spike stabbed about two centimeters into his forehead with some violent concussion force.
At this time, the light blue 'water film shield' on Mara's body may have been penetrated at one point, causing the shield to be like a bubble and completely burst with a 'pop'!
And Ren kept holding the hammer with both hands and used the 'earth-shattering hammer' to strike downward!
Mara's body stood frozen on the spot, with the fingers of his palm still spread out, blocking in front of his eyes, with a defensive look, and his facial expression stayed at 'Finally released the life-saving water film shield', A relaxed expression of relief.
"Bang!!!"
I saw that Mara was stabbed into the forehead right at the back of the head, and at this moment, it suddenly exploded.
Blood-red liquid and white brains splashed!
In an instant, his head was hollowed out!
Because the back of Mara's head had been completely blown away, but the front of his face was still intact.
This gives people the illusion that when viewed from the front, Mara still maintains an expression of relief on her face, as if she is still alive.
The next second, his whole body twitched twice and fell heavily to the ground.
At this time, the first mate and boatswain on the side had just lowered their arms to block the flying sawdust.
As a result, the two of them looked at the scene in front of them in shock, with their eyes bulging and their mouths wide open.
The scene just happened so fast that they didn't have time to react, but when the storm of exploding sawdust dissipated, they saw a scene that made their souls explode.
Their boss died like this!
They specialize in divination and water witchcraft, and the boss Mara, who has excellent self-preservation ability, actually died like this?
This immediately gave them an extremely ridiculous feeling, as if Boss Mara did nothing, just stood there and let the other party be hammered to death!
But obviously, this is impossible. Rabbits bite people when they are anxious, let alone their boss!
Since the last time Renne was in the 'triple state', he almost broke Adams' black film shield with a hammer blow with a power increase of 261%, so he would choose such a fierce attack this time. Offensive style.
But this time, with the further improvement of Ren's strength, and with the double blessing of the 273% strength increase and hammering secret technique 'Earth Breaker', he finally achieved a one-hit shield-breaking!
After killing the diviner Mara with one hammer, in order to avoid exhaustion of physical strength, Renn immediately canceled the 'Power Burst', leaving only the 'Limit Breaking' and the extraordinary characteristic 'Giant Strength LV3'.
As a result, his entire figure began to shrink rapidly.
Although Ren's physique has improved a lot, as his limit-breaking value increases, he uses the triple superposition of 'Breaking Limit', the extraordinary characteristic 'Giant Strength', and 10% of 'Power Explosion' The explosive power has also been further improved.
Therefore, the burden on the body is still not small.
But compared to the previous 'sequelae' like muscle tearing, it has obviously improved a lot.
However, in the eyes of others, after attacking Mara, he seemed to be in a 'weak' state after the outbreak of a certain secret technique.
This immediately caused the two people in the captain's lounge to react immediately and roared in shock and anger:
"He killed Boss Mara! Someone come!"
"You're dead! Someone come quickly!"
In fact, there was no need for them to shout. There was such a big noise in the captain's lounge, and the Bloodsail pirates who were on guard at the side rushed in immediately.
However, when they saw the body of their boss with his head removed, their expressions changed drastically.
"Kill him!!" The Bloodsail pirates were furious.
In any case, Wren is just a person, and they.
But there was a whole boatload of people! !
Following the noisy screams, many blood-sail pirates who were not afraid of death immediately rushed towards Renne brandishing various weapons.
However, as soon as they got close to Ren, they immediately felt a rush of heat rushing towards their faces, and their whole bodies seemed to be sprayed head-on by steam at 80 or 90 degrees Celsius.
Immediately, many blood sail pirates who lacked strength screamed and wanted to push back quickly.
But they forgot that they were in the captain's lounge. It was such a closed space and not particularly spacious, but so many people poured into it all at once.
Although there was no stampede, if you want to retreat, don't even think about it!
"Ahh!!!"
As a result, each of the weaklings screamed and covered their faces.
Just a few seconds later, many people's skin had been burned by Ren's 'high temperature force field'!
From red to a little white, this is
A sign that you're about to be cooked!
There were a few who grabbed their faces too hard, and with one scratch, the epidermal tissue on the face was torn off, exposing the bloody subcutaneous tissue.
The surrounding Blood Sail pirates looked at this strange scene, and for a moment they were afraid to step forward.
But soon, several of the Bloodsail pirates who kept pouring in raised their brand-new matchlock guns, and the matchlocks had already been lit.
Ren narrowed his eyes. Although he had the extraordinary characteristic 'Iron Skin lv3' and was not afraid of such powerful projectile attacks, there was no need for him to spend time with the opponent here.
You should just follow the plan you made before! Renxin said.
The next second, I saw Ren using a heavy pig-head hammer to hit the floor hard, directly punching a big hole in the deck of the captain's cabin, and he immediately jumped to the next deck.
Compared with the hull, the thickness of this deck is much thinner, and it is much easier to break.
The Bloodsail Pirates were like a pack of hyenas, led by the meaty-faced first mate and the bearded bosun, chasing Ren down.
But when they had just jumped off, and some Blood Sail pirates had just walked around to the next deck from the outside, they saw Ren knocking on the deck again, and quickly jumped into the hole in the deck, reaching the bottom deck.
This made the first mate and boatswain on the "Wreck" a little confused for a moment!
They have never seen an 'assassin' not run away quickly after completing the assassination, but continue to 'go deep behind enemy lines'.
This mysterious operation of the other party is completely incomprehensible!
At this moment, because Renne penetrated the deck layer by layer, almost all the Blood Sail Pirates on the "Wreck" had been mobilized.
As a result, nearly two hundred Blood Sail pirates began to rush towards Ren's current location.
This made the meaty-faced first mate and bearded boatswain feel confident!
"You are the Great Knight, and you are dead this time! One person can drown you in just one pee!"
Dockside.
"What tricks are you doing? Even if you can break the hull, if you attack alone, you will definitely face the siege of the Blood Sail Pirates. What a stupid thing to do!" The male naval officer standing next to the female major Marika was surprised. , scolded angrily.
Long-term military experience has made male naval officers very particular about "keeping pace and cooperating closely."
He deeply hates this kind of behavior similar to 'personal heroism'!
In addition, as a peak knight, when he first saw Renn actually smashing the heavy hull of the 'Shipwreck' with one hammer and breaking into the captain's lounge, he was first surprised by Renn's strength, but then Immediately afterwards, there was a frown!
Because no matter how strong you are personally, your manpower will eventually be exhausted.
It is naturally not a wise move for one person to face the siege of more than ten or even dozens of Blood Sail pirates.
But due to his duty, this naval officer at the peak knight level immediately tiptoed and quickly chased towards the big hole in the 'Shipwreck'.
It's probably too late, but try to collect the whole corpse for the other party! So he thought.
At this time, the beautiful female naval lieutenant Marika finally came back to her senses from the shock of the scene where Ren penetrated the thick hull!
She closed her little cherry mouth, followed the naval officer, and quickly caught up with him.
Because she is also one of the record-keepers of this canonization assessment, she naturally has to follow closely, otherwise, how can she record the first-hand situation.
Behind her, two naval officers followed immediately, plus an assessment team member wearing aristocratic hunting attire.
These three people all have long breaths and fast movements. There is no sloppy and unnecessary movement in their movements. They all seem to be masters at the peak knight level.
And the hammer that Renne used to break the hull of the 'Shipwreck' naturally fell into the eyes of the rear admiral and the middle-aged nobleman with a mustache on the beach.
But strangely, the two of them remained motionless and seemed not to worry about Ren's safety at all.
The rear admiral watched Ren's figure rushing into the captain's cabin. After several seconds, he turned his head with a smile and asked the middle-aged man with a mustache beside him:
"Your Excellency Theo, you have been responsible for so many canonization assessments. Have you ever seen such an interesting young man?"
The middle-aged man with a mustache also showed joy. After thinking for a moment, he replied: "General Silva, it must have been three years ago since I last saw such an aggressive young man."
The person in charge of the canonization assessment named Theo used the word "impulse", which is worth pondering.
Rear Admiral Silva naturally understood what the other party meant, smiled, and continued: "Yes! There are many capable young people, but those with such drive are relatively rare."
"Your Excellency Theo, I may need to trouble you with something."
"Oh?" Theo raised his eyebrows, waiting for Silva's next words with interest.
You must know that it is difficult to earn the favor of Rear Admiral Silva, one of the young representatives of the Imperial Navy.
