Chapter 30： Hand of flame

"Fire at the front of the ship, warning!" Sean commanded his men, looking calmly at the approaching ships.

After getting the boss's order, the sailors not far away became a group, pushing the magic stone cannon equipped on the bow of the ship out of the gun door, then loading the magic stone, and then aiming and launching.

Boom!

The deafening sound made many people on the ship tremble uncontrollably. Even though many people were mentally prepared, they were still frightened by the sound of the guns.

"Strange, the coward Angus saw our ship not actively stopping the ship when he couldn't escape...Does he think that speed can escape our pursuit?"

Standing next to Sean is his deputy Keno, who has been with him since he first started to recruit people.

Several years later, the sailors who were recruited at the time have either been buried in this quiet sea, or they have accumulated some family property and went out to work alone-and then they will be killed by him.

Only Keno is still standing by his side, becoming his most trusted deputy, and the first mate of the Flame Sovereign, that is, the first captain.

Sean the Hand of Flame, one of the most famous adventurers in the Sea of ​​Peace, is also the most notorious robber in this sea.

As long as he is eyeing, the best case is to throw away all the gains and barely save one life.

Cruel heart, insatiable greed is synonymous with Sean, and he can do these things unscrupulously, relying on his sturdy ship and the magic stone cannon, which is equally powerful, although it is amazingly expensive.

"The situation is a bit strange, maybe that coward made a big deal, so he is not willing to hand it over?"

Looking at the ship in the distance, it was a ship he was familiar with, and it was a little famous in the calm sea.

The coward Angus is what Sean calls him, and the adventurers in the Sea of ​​Peace call him more of his vicious dog Angus. He is a gangster who specializes in snatching novices and the weak, and when facing the strong. The image of being cautious and respectful, the one that scared him the most was Sean the Hand of Fire.

Angus is also one of the few adventurers who can save his life in the hands of Sean many times, because every time he meets Sean at sea, he will actively hand in his gains. Even occasionally he would take the initiative to contact Sean and send some gifts.

When Sean saw Angus’s ship, he noticed that the ship was obviously loaded with a large amount of supplies, which made the draught very deep and the ship’s speed surprisingly slow. A small sailing boat was towed behind, and judging from the draft of that boat, it was also loaded with a lot of things. Obviously, a ‘big deal’ has just been made.

But this coward made no response after seeing his boat. The completely different situation in the past made him a little puzzled—did Angus found something special that I didn't want me to see? So try to escape directly?

"Fire, if they don't stop the boat, shoot at the boat behind them!"

The more Sean thought about it, the more he felt that this should be the case, and what he cared most was that the thing that could make Angus uncharacteristically might be the most magical magic stone on this sea.

"Maybe it is a top quality magic stone for battle, otherwise he would not have done such a thing." If it is really like guessing, then definitely not let Angus run away...

The second huge orange fireball flew towards the two ships that were connected together, but it was much closer than it was obviously aimed at a place farther away.

The rumbling explosion sounded the heads of people dizzy, and the scattered spray splashed far away, and Ethan and Arthur standing on the deck were showered with coldness.

"Bah!"

spit out the seawater in his mouth, and the salty taste made his unhappy mood even worse.

"Sure enough, I ran into a group of bandits again."

He didn't know the ship opposite, let alone one of the most famous villains in the sea of ​​peace. The other party directly fired a cannon on his way forward, warning him to stop the boat immediately, and a cannon hit the nearby sea immediately, perhaps the next shot would directly hit the ship under his feet.

He didn't know that Sean on the opposite side was reluctant to sink his ship. The previous shot was still a warning.

"Can't you fight back? Is it so passive?"

Arthur had been well equipped for a long time, but now the two sides were far away, and they couldn't even see the people on the opposite ship. At this distance, there was no way to fight back.

"How do you fight back? We don't have cannons."

Before, Ethan had guessed that the world has similar technology, but he didn't expect to see the real thing so quickly. The two inventions just now are obviously not familiar artillery, not to mention the power and range. That kind of energy bomb with magical fluctuations, like a compressed fireball technique, must be a technology developed based on magic stones.

"What should I do?"

Ethan didn't know what to do. If the opponent had been bombarding him with cannons, he seemed to have no other way to deal with it except for using the magic shield on the magic book for large-scale defense.

"Or throw away all the ore, and then speed up and escape with full sails?"

There are too many things on the ship now, which severely restricts the speed of the ship, and there is a ship full of ore behind towing, which makes the Caravel sailing ship's own speed and agility advantages unable to play.

"That's too late!"

The acceleration of the sailboat is not so easy, and the current wind direction is not good for him. Even if he is now showing great power and throwing away all the ore on the boat in a short time, there is not enough time for the speed to rise and escape from the opponent. The range of fire.

Judging the shooting distance and accuracy from the previous two artillery shots, maybe before I finished throwing the ore, I was bombarded to pieces by the opponent.

The speed of the brain has almost reached its limit, and Ethan made a decision in a flash.

"Sail, stop!"

"what?"

Arthur was surprised when he heard Ethan's words, but he did the first thing, and quickly understood Ethan's intentions.

"Is this useful?"

"The opponent's first shot was to warn us to stop the ship. Although the second shot was much closer, it should still be a warning. If we stopped the ship, they would not continue to fire."

Ethan didn't dare to guarantee 100%, but instead of passively bearing the shelling at such a long distance, it was better to stop the ship to attract the opponent to come up. If it becomes a close combat, at least he has a chance to counterattack the opponent.

As expected, as Ethan's boat slowed down and eventually stopped, the opposite side did not fire any more guns.

He didn't know, but Sean on the opposite ship was stunned for a moment when he saw him stop the ship.

"Why did you stop again?"

Keno was not sure, and guessed: "Maybe the coward was sleeping just now? Didn't see us?"

"It is possible."

It stands to reason that if this demonstrates his deterrence, he should be more happy, but Sean just can't be happy. He was still looking forward to it. The coward took the risk because he found something good. Now it seems that it may just be a dream of myself.

Unhappy, wanting to vent, Sean is already thinking in his heart how to clean up this guy Angus.

"Kill..." I shook my head in my heart. "Forget it, for the sake of his wit, he was left with his life, but I took his boat, anyway, he got a ‘new boat’ again."

With the decision, it seemed that he was in a better mood. Sean waved his hand and said to his side: "Go forward at full speed, get close! That ship is the last goal of our voyage, and then we will return to Statt. On the island!"

"Oh~!"

The sailors knew that after the ticket was finished, they could enjoy it for a while, so one by one was full of enthusiasm, and many people also recognized that the target was the coward Angus, so no one felt this What is the danger of the ticket.

"That coward will certainly crawl under the captain's feet again and offer everything obediently."

"Hahaha, maybe I will kiss the captain's shoes."

"You said, if I frighten that coward with a knife, will he kiss my shoes in the same way?"

"Maybe, we'll be together then!"

"Hahaha, such an interesting thing, you must count me."

"..."

The discussions of the sailors were all heard by Sean, and for what the crew wanted to do, he didn't have any interest in blocking UU reading , and he even had a mentality of watching a show.

"This is a good fun."

Yes, he will see a great fun. Just on the ship in the distance, Ethan and Arthur knew that their intention was achieved when they saw that they hadn’t fired the guns on the opposite side, but how they should counterattack next is more important. I have a headache.

The young, passionate, and second-year-old King Arthur stood firmly in the most conspicuous position on the deck, and then held his unsheathed two-handed sword, quietly waiting for the battle to come.

According to Ethan's original meaning, two people hid, and then directly sneaked into the other party's ship while the other party was approaching, so that the other party could not rely on cannons to threaten themselves and their own ship, and then fight each other.

My first companion is a knight who advocates frontal decisive battle!

In fact, he also likes head-to-head duels, knocking down his opponents openly. I like the huge ship artillery head-on bombardment, but only if I have talent.

"Forget it, they couldn't adjust the bow gun to the side in a short time when the opponent came up anyway." He could gradually see some details of the ship on the opposite side. There was no gun door on the side of the ship, and the deck I didn't see any more cannons on it.

Even if the opponent can move the bow cannon out for use, Ethan with the preparation time can also use the magic shield to defend-and he does not believe that the guys dare to attack with the magic stone cannon at such a close distance, it will not only hurt It may even damage your boat if you reach your own person.

"Actually, you don't need to stand here with me. There is no problem following your plan. I don't force you to stick to the chivalry standards like I do."

"No, it's just too late to hide now."
