Release that Witch - Chapter 508

[Chapter 501 Man of Steel (Part 2)]

…

Eden is a newly promoted knight in the royal capital. He has no fiefdom, and the title cannot be inherited to his children. He is the lowest rank among the nobles.

Even some great nobles believed that a jazz could not be considered a noble at all, it was just an honorary title at most.

Therefore, he showed great enthusiasm for Timothy’s blockade order. Relying on his experience of wandering at sea in his early years, and the fact that the new king prefers to use new people, he finally became the commander of an eagle-headed warship.

He believes that his strength lies in judging the situation and this blockade of trade routes is a good opportunity. It is naturally hard to stay away from a comfortable mansion and wander on the boat for more than half a year. Most nobles are not willing to accept such a job, so he can barely join the ranks. Come in, if you do well, you can be named a real noble in all likelihood.

But it is very easy to do well, neither merchant ships nor caravans are their opponents, if the local lords send knights to encircle and suppress them, and warships on the water are helpless.

As long as you are not greedy, this task will be completed properly, and His Majesty Timothy will be satisfied.

Of course, how satisfied His Majesty is depends on the coins and goods he has handed over.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but cast a cold glance at the cheerful mouse on the opposite boat.

Yesterday they just intercepted a merchant ship with the flag of Chishui City. Although the captain repeatedly said that he was going to Zhuolongling, they happily swallowed the cargo and killed all the people on board. The seized items were mainly It’s furs and wine, and a jar of golden dragons.

And these idiots actually regarded the confiscated things as their own trophies, and divided them 50-50 according to the rules of the black street.

This made Eden couldn’t help but sneer out loud. The mice didn’t even know that apart from showing up to rob, the rest of their role was to appease the anger of the local lords and wait for the traitor King Roland to finish. Naturally, these people’s heads It will be sent to the lord who suffered a loss in trade as an expression of His Majesty’s apology.

As for the seized materials, they will undoubtedly be filled into the palace treasury.

And they still regarded this operation as a fat job, and they didn’t notice the noose already hanging around their necks, which was really ironic.

“My lord, there is movement ahead!” The sailor at the lookout shouted.

Eden walked to the bow of the boat, frowned and looked, and saw a string of black smoke rising in the distance, as if something was burning on the river. After a while, he faintly saw a gray gray approaching here .

There was no doubt that it was a ship, but he missed the most striking sail.

“Isn’t it a bit fast?” The deputy asked after staring at it for a moment.

Eden also discovered this. Even if it was going downstream, its forward speed was astonishing. In less than half a quarter of an hour, it changed from a point as big as a thumb to the size of a palm, and judging from the distance, its The volume is much larger than ordinary merchant ships.

The other two eagle-headed ships also spotted the target, and one of them swung its side oars quickly, as if trying to get on board this strange merchant ship before everyone else.

“My lord, shall we follow?” the deputy asked.

Eden thought for a while, “Don’t worry, let’s see what’s going on first.” He noticed that the eagle-headed ship commanded by Baron Derrick behind him hadn’t moved, and the warship carrying the mouse had moved left and right. Put on the boarding posture.

The approaching ship soon became clearly visible, and Eden gradually opened his mouth wide. It wasn’t just him, exclamations had already sounded on the deck, and the sailors on the mast even shouted, “Oh my God, boss, what the hell is this?” !”

I saw that the ship of the other side actually had a metallic luster, and it was not only covered with copper plates at the bottom like a sea ship, it was all the same color, even the strange iron tower above the ship!

Its bow is like a shuttle, splitting the river in half. Just looking at the white waves rising against the side of the ship, one can know how exaggerated the speed of this iron-hulled ship is.

A loud sound of “hum” rolled over everyone’s ears, not only did the incoming ship not slow down, but also slightly deflected its course, and hit the first eagle-headed ship leaning in front!

Since the boarding battle needs to approach the target from the side, the eagle-headed ship has to drive diagonally first. This step is no problem against the slow merchant ship, but it becomes a big flaw when facing the strange iron ship breaking the waves. Turning the bow back, the other party had already crashed into the unsuspecting belly of the eagle-headed ship.

Everyone heard the cracking sound of the wood breaking, and the slender warship seemed to be slapped violently by a giant palm. The entire hull tilted to one side, and the side near the water almost sank into the river.

The turbulent water waves rushed to the deck, and many people were directly thrown into the water under the violent impact.

“God!” The deputy’s eyes widened, “It’s coming for us!”

“Enemy attack!” shouted the sailor, “My lord, enemy attack!”

The people on the deck have already moved, some have set up their crossbows, and some are loading ammunition into their muskets.

Seeing the flag of the tower with two guns flying above the iron ship, UU reading www.

sonicmtl.com Eden swallowed, gritted his teeth and ordered, “Let the oarsmen move for me and move closer to the shore!” This was a flag he had never seen before, but he already had a guess in his heart, only the one in the western region A prince who is rumored to have a deal with the devil can create such a terrifying thing!

Not only is it huge in size, but it is also faster than a long and narrow galley, which is simply not something that ordinary people can do!

“Aren’t we going to run?” the deputy asked tremblingly.

“Run?” He snapped, “It’s faster than us, where can you run? Only by staying close to the river bank can you prevent it from coming over, and we may have to board a ship to fight behind it. chance! Damn it, go and deliver my order!”

Pushing away the panicked deputy, Eden looked at the eagle-headed ship that was the first to suffer, his hands and feet were cold, even if he couldn’t see the scene in the cabin, he could still imagine it.

The bow of the iron ship was completely inserted into the belly of the warship. Even if it wasn’t split into two, the curved and narrow hull wouldn’t last long.

Those rowing sailors were undoubtedly the most unlucky guys, being crushed by the iron head was considered a good ending, and the worst thing was that those who were stuck in the cabin and couldn’t move could only be choked to death by the pouring river water.

Crying, cursing, and screaming mixed together, like a pot of boiling water, even though most of the boat was filled with rats, the spreading fear still made him feel that the situation on both sides had been reversed, the hunter became the prey .

With the impact of the water and the sudden deceleration of the iron ship, the bent eagle-headed ship finally fell off the enemy’s bow and capsized quickly.

The second warship was desperately turning its bow, trying to get away from the other party as soon as possible, but the death-like roar sounded again, and the iron ship made a deafening roar, dragged a long black smoke and began to accelerate, heading towards the nearest The ship rushed.
