Black sails

Chapter 59 LIX. Mid-door confrontation

As the anti-corrosion door of the naval gun was opened, the pirates on the ship used all their strength to push the wooden loader roller under the cannon, allowing the barrel to approach the side.

There are 32-pound heavy guns, with a terrifying caliber of 15.9 centimeters, and are completely black. There are eighteen guns in total.

This is not some pirate product.

It was the boss of Tianguo Port who shot up a sailing battleship owned by the governor of the east coast and unloaded the official cargo. Li Site bought it with a lot of blood in Tianguo Port. Compared with the cannons that other pirates pulled from nowhere, Fuma Keqing's The firepower is almost at the two-way foil level, which can be called a dimensionality reduction strike.

Marcus was blind and relied entirely on his magic power to sense his surroundings. He had already noticed the extreme panic of the military police. However, the believers transferred from around Linden City did not seem to be very firm in their faith, and a small number of them had the intention of retreating.

Those who don’t know how to do it are still looking for cover, but those who know how to do it have already begun to pray.

Besides, this sea cave is basically an eroded cliff. It is completely hollow and there is no place to hide. The heavy artillery wall can be smashed, let alone these sea rocks with extremely poor texture.

Today's artillery shells in the Western Continent are roughly divided into three categories: solid shells, shotgun shells, and chain shells.

Although there are also hollow explosive bombs filled with gunpowder, due to the immature impact fuse technology, seven or eight out of ten fired bombs are misfires, and the Black Sail Pirates never use them.

The power of the above three types of shells alone is terrifying enough.

Needless to say, the solid bullets are much stronger than the trebuchets. If one hits them, they will be completely destroyed, if not broken into pieces.

Chain bullets are two solid bullets set together with a chain. The purpose is to increase the killing range and be used to destroy masts and sails.

There is also a kind of shotgun. In short, it is a thick iron bucket containing dozens or hundreds of small lead bullets. The iron bucket will explode when it comes out of the chamber, and the projectiles inside will explode in a fan-shaped range. The effect is naturally Specifically used to kill people.

Morrison's position as gunnery commander was a sinecure, even more idle than Wollman's warehouse manager. He could fish thirty or twenty-nine days a month.

But he did a pretty good job, and the eighteen naval guns were in excellent condition and ready to fire at any time.

When Fen heard the news, he had already had shotgun loaded.

"emission!"

As Fen yelled.

Eighteen heavy cannons fired a salvo, and the cave, which was already echoing, made a loud sound, as if eighteen thunderbolts had exploded here. The iron barrels blasted from the barrels exploded and covered the entire area in a fan shape. coastal.

It is difficult to describe the scene at this moment and the lethality.

To put it bluntly, it was like a volley of 2,000 musketeers, and the power was increased ten times.

The defenders of the Eternal Sect and the elite military police brought by Marcus had no time to fire the rockets in their hands.

These small lead bullets are also extremely powerful and can penetrate several people without stopping.

Nearly two thousand rounds of lead shot exploded on the coast.

All this happens in two seconds.

About two hundred people on the spot were cut into limp rotten flesh by the overwhelming barrage. The blood in their bodies didn't seem to have been beaten out, but squeezed out. The sound of tearing flesh and blood exploded throughout the cave. Into scarlet blood mist.

It was a blood mist in the true sense, floating in the wind, and then immediately sprinkled into a rain of blood and watered the ground.

Dozens of drops of blood spattered on Fen's robe, and two drops were also splashed on his glasses. From that cold-blooded and surly face, it was impossible to tell that he had once been a scholar.

More than two hundred people were slaughtered in an instant. The remaining people were more or less shot, but they were not completely dead. They kept screaming on the ground. Only about sixty or seventy people were shot in the limbs, and there were also scratches, but I can barely move.

The demented giant was so big that he became a live target. At least dozens of lead bullets were fired into his body. He was covered in blood like a sieve, and he knelt on the ground and howled in pain.

The process of loading and firing a heavy artillery is very cumbersome. Far from loading it into the barrel and firing it directly, factors such as extinguishing residual sparks and compacting the shells with a ramming rod must be taken into consideration. Even the well-trained Royal Navy needs to do it as quickly as possible. It took a minute to get it done. Fen didn't expect these pirates to have that kind of speed, but it would take at least a minute and a half.

"Load the chain bombs and launch! Wollman, Heywood, and everyone on the deck must prevent the remaining people from getting on the ship. No matter what, it must be delayed for ninety seconds!"

Fen was also worried about Marcus and the twenty or so priests. These priests were all wearing overweight plate armor several centimeters thick. Even in the battle just now, they were all strong, except for some dents on the top of the heavy armor.

Weird thing is.

Marcus seemed to be blessed with some kind of luck. He never moved a step away, but he didn't get shot once.

"All rockets fired."

Marcus held the scripture in his hand. Even if two-thirds of the people were instantly destroyed, he did not get angry at all. His psychological quality was so strong that he could be called a devil.

The remaining military policemen saw that their psychological defenses had collapsed when they saw this hell on earth, but the leather-armored defenders dispatched by Marcus only calmed down for a moment. Their crazy mentality was no joke, and the bows and arrows in their hands were still intact Those who could use them set up rockets and shot them towards the ship.

Fen sneered.

Pedan National Arcane Academy is the mainstay in the fight against religious forces. In the Warlock Council Tower Alliance, Pedan alone accounts for almost one-fifth of the seats.

As the top all-round talent in the Pedan Kingdom, Fen has rich experience in when to use which technique. He is even one of the editors of the general university textbook "Warlock Battlefield Literacy".

This book is still being printed and published today and is used by the Pedan National Arcane Academy, but a certain person's name has been crossed out.

Fen was supposed to have the palace painter trace it into an oil painting and hang it in the corridor of the teaching building for people to admire, but in the end it came to this point.

Elemental magic is undoubtedly the simplest magic. There are two levels of difficulty: casting magic through magic materials and casting magic by oneself.

The former is the lowest level and can often only generate quite limited elements, and consumes a lot of "concentration".

It's just that Fen calls it concentration, and there are countless ways to say it in the Western Continent with countless systems.

Once you reach the latter, you can enter the palace. For Fen, everything has a fundamental starting point, just like there are hidden and invisible strings. As long as these strings are plucked, everything can start from Deeper dimensions affect the present world, and there are endless mysteries.

Fen does not need to recite prayers like Caruso, nor does he actually perform magic by himself. Instead, he uses all the strings existing in natural elements as a medium, and during the plucking, he can tune part of nature.

There was a violent storm outside the cave.

Seventy or eighty arrows soaked in oilcloth and burning with flames were shot towards the ship.

Fen just raised his hands in the air to give himself a psychological hint, and his concentration was infinite.

In an instant, more than a dozen invisible blades came from outside the cave. Just a gust of wind passed by. Before all the arrows hit, they were completely split and shattered in mid-air. The remaining power still penetrated several people, and a burst of blood and flesh was blurred. .

Marcus was thinking clearly, and when they reloaded, it was all over.

"Everyone is heading towards the trestle. As soon as they get under the boat, they have no other options at their disposal!"

Following Marcus's order.

The heavily armed priest moved quickly without any clumsiness, carrying a mace.
