Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

There are pirates in this sea area, but as the captain of the Dennis III, Mai Fu is not afraid of pirates.

As a ship that symbolizes the Dennis family, Mai Fu and his deputy are professional knights, and every time they travel, the family will arrange a team of knights to escort them.

Just like this time, the number of professional knights on the ship has reached more than a dozen, including bronze and silver levels.

As for the Fleming family of Screaming Island, the overlord of this sea area, they are indeed powerful, but their targets are all passing merchant ships. After stopping them, they only ask for some escort fees. The danger is actually not great.

Over the years, the Fleming family has intercepted the Dennis only a handful of times, not to mention that this time the ship not only carried the flag of the Dennis family, but also the golden mountain flag of the Osan family.

The Earl of the Kingdom does not want to give face to the Marquis of the Kingdom.

Therefore, when Captain Maifu saw a ship coming, he was first worried about whether there would be a collision at sea, and then he worried about other things.

Luo Ning was awakened by the notice from the crew and came to the deck to look into the distance with squinted eyes.

With his eyesight, he still couldn't see the detailed appearance of the opponent's ship.

"There's no telescope here?"

Ronin glanced around and saw that neither Reese nor Captain Wheat Bran nor the lookouts standing high up had binoculars in their hands.

Even the Dennis family, which owns the port, doesn't have this thing. Apparently the telescope hasn't been invented yet.

He secretly kept this matter in mind. After all, anyone who has received nine years of compulsory education knows the principles of a telescope.

All Luo Ning had to do was find a crystal craftsman and have him polish the appropriate concave and convex mirrors, and the production of the telescope was 80% to 90% complete.

Compared with blast furnace ironmaking, ceramics and looms, the difficulty of making telescopes can be said to be very low.

"They are not Screaming Island ships!"

At this time, the distance between the two sides had shortened to several hundred meters, and the lookout with excellent vision could already see the other side's hull clearly.

There is no heraldic pattern of the Fleming family of Earl of Screaming Island on their hulls, and the big white flag flying on the ship is not the blue flag of the Fleming family.

Merchant ship?

Or a pirate?

Luo Ning squinted and looked over. His eyesight was better than that of the lookout, and he could clearly see a white skull and crossbones flag hanging on the sailboat opposite.

"It's a pirate!" Luo Ning immediately reminded him.

Reese also saw it clearly, and immediately pulled out the long sword from his waist and shouted: "Everyone, be alert!"

As he shouted, all the knights on the ship moved in response, holding their shields, pulling out their swords, and taking a defensive posture.

Behind Ronin, Tom and David, who reluctantly walked out of the room, also made the same move. But this is not their battlefield. It is probably quite good to be able to exert half of their strength.

At this moment, the three ships on the opposite side changed their formation:

Luo Ning couldn't help but look ahead and saw the three sailboats changing their formation:

Among them, the two ships on the left and right separated to both sides, and the one in the middle kept speed and drove straight over. These three ships seemed to have formed a double-teaming posture.

The key is that they take advantage of the wind and are faster than Dennis III.

"Damn it, quick, turn the rudder to starboard, sidesail!"

Captain Wheatbran exclaimed.

He was shocked to find that the ship in the middle showed no signs of slowing down or turning, and seemed to be heading straight towards it.

"Lord Reese, they are going to hit us!"

Mai Fu ran over in horror. He had been sailing for decades and had never seen a pirate take the initiative to ram another ship.

After all, a ship like this costs nearly ten thousand gold coins. Pirates rely on ships for a living and cherish them very much. It is impossible for them to do such a lose-lose thing.

Reese had already noticed something was wrong.

Although Dennis 3 had turned in advance to avoid it, the opponent seemed to have also adjusted its direction, and at the same time relied on the advantage of the tailwind to quickly approach, making it almost difficult to avoid.

"Damn it!"

Reese cursed angrily and swung the knight sword in his hand with a majestic fighting spirit, but it did not attack the enemy ship a hundred meters away.

Luo Ning didn't expect such a thing to happen.

The other party's operation is not like robbing, but more like sinking the ship directly, and killing is the purpose.

"Are you here for me, or for Rhys?"

Luo Ning raised his hand and used Pyrotechnics at an extremely fast speed. In an instant, the surrounding temperature soared.

"Is this... pyrotechnics?"

Reese was shocked by this scene. He looked at the large fireball with a diameter of six meters. This seems different from the pyrotechnics, right?

Moreover, in addition to being a Silver Knight, Ronin is also a high-level magician?

At this moment, the Pyromaniac Technique was completely formed.

Luo Ning frowned.

There are relatively few fire elements on the sea, and the time it takes to form magic is actually a few seconds longer than usual, and it is still a little short of the maximum diameter of eight meters.

Fortunately, he used the pyrotechnic instead of the red flame snake, or even the fire dragon swallowing the sky magic, otherwise it might be too late.

Rumble!

A huge fireball with a diameter of six meters flew through the air and directly bombarded the bow of the enemy ship. That piece was directly bombed to pieces. The entire hull was also shaken, the speed dropped sharply and it yawed to a certain extent.

"So strong..."

Reese's throat rolled. Although he did not admit that he lost to the opponent, the opponent's move made him intimidated.

Under the influence of the pyrotechnics, the two ships passed each other at an extremely dangerous distance of two to three meters on the sea. While everyone was frightened, they also cheered.

But at this moment, a cold breath swept over him.

"boom!"

Dennis III shook violently, and many people were unprepared and fell to the deck rolling around.

Luo Ning suddenly turned his head and looked to the right, only to see a huge ice pick pricking a big hole in the hull of Dennis III!

The opponent's second ship was actually equipped with a magic cannon!

"It's a level four ice cone magic energy cannon!"

Reese shouted loudly, "Knights above the intermediate level, use fighting skills quickly to resist the opponent's second attack!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Before he could finish his words, the sound of arrows piercing the air roared from the left side, and suddenly there was a tragic wail on the deck.

The knights reacted quickly, which was fine, but ordinary crew members were directly hit by arrows, and some were even shot through the neck. Blood spurted out and they fell to the ground dead on the spot.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

The sharp sound of breaking through the air was like a reminder. After experiencing the initial panic, the people on Dennis 3 quickly used the side of the ship as a cover to hide.

Being robbed at sea is not a big deal, as long as you have to pay some money;

But it's different when the other person is holding a life-threatening attitude.

"Tom, David, watch out for arrows."

Luo Ning warned the two followers, summoned the fighting spirit armor, and used the newly mastered Wall of Sighs at the same time.

Fire elements are relatively rare in the sea, but air elements are not.

Just as he was casting his magic, the magic cannon on the enemy ship on the right released a second huge ice cone.

"Fighting skills to resist!"

Knight Reese shouted and took the lead.

Bing Lai's fighting skills poured out, meeting the huge ice cone that bombarded him. At the same time, several middle and high-level knights under him also used fighting skills. All kinds of fighting skills gathered together, and actually shot the icicle directly. The huge ice cone was shattered in the air.

They can still withstand one or two level four magic energy cannons.

At this time, Luo Ning's wall of sighs had been condensed.

Suddenly, a light wall of wind enveloped the entire bow of the ship. Those arrows hit the magic shield like rain hitting the windows, making a crackling sound, but none of them came in.

"What magic is this?" Reese asked subconsciously.

"Level 3 magic, wind wall."

Ronin said casually, "Knight Reese, now is not the time to ask these questions. Let's think about how to escape!"

There is a wall of sighs, and it seems that the crisis is temporarily resolved.

However, the hull of the Dennis III was damaged, which meant that the ship was about to sink. On this vast sea, without the ship, their situation would be extremely dangerous.
