Release that Witch - Chapter 509

[Chapter 502 Man of Steel (Part 2)]

As the second warship was halfway through its turn, the situation was even worse than the first.

Pen “Fun” Pavilion ww.qu. Facing the iron-hulled boat rushing straight at them, the mice were terrified and at a loss. The few who could resist shot at the enemy with their crossbow arrows, but the crossbow arrows were as small as tiny ones in front of such a huge monster. There is no difference between the old sewing needles, and you can’t even see a mark when it falls on the iron plate.

Soon, the iron ship carrying an unstoppable force hit the center of the eagle-headed ship at an almost vertical angle, crushing more than a dozen long oars.

Then Iden witnessed an incredible scene – under the combined action of the water flow and the impact, one side of the warship was suddenly pushed into the water, and at the same time, the bow of the enemy’s ship was arched.

The latter tilted the bow of the ship as if it had run aground on the shore, and then smashed hard on the deck.

The eagle-headed boat suddenly made a piercing twisting sound, and the surviving mice jumped into the water to escape. Those whose limbs had been broken could only scream and roll on the sloping deck, leaving trails of blood behind.

Eden watched the iron boat slowly fall, and the overwhelmed narrow hull of his side made a series of crackling noises—after all, the wooden boat was not as strong as the beach. Under the heavy pressure and pushing, the hull suddenly fell out of the middle. When it was disconnected, the two ends were lifted up violently, and splashes of water flew away.

The warship that was broken in two did not sink quickly, but lay down on the river like a corpse, with only half of the side exposed.

The iron-hulled boat looked unscathed on the outside, and continued to gallop towards him.

Eden heard the sound of gasping for breath, and half of the four eagle-headed ships were damaged in an instant, and the ship he was commanding was about to become the next one. At that moment, he was ready to jump ship and escape for his life.

But luckily, he bet right!

Seeing that his ship was completely close to the shore, the enemy adjusted its course and chased after the last Baron Derrick that turned around and fled.

“Raise your bow and fire stick!” Eden hissed after taking a deep breath, “We want to kill these beasts hiding in the iron shell! Every time I kill an enemy, I will reward him A golden dragon! Did you hear that? A golden dragon!”

If he fled back to the capital like this, even if he survived, he would have no chance of being promoted at all. The only chance he had was to defeat this ship that betrayed the king and use it to claim credit for His Majesty Timothy—even if this ship The boat was made by hell devils, as long as the people on it are still the same as themselves, there is still a possibility of turning defeat into victory!

Not being crushed like ants by enemy ships, the courage in the hearts of the sailors has returned a lot. These people used to do the work of licking blood with knives, and they are used to bloody scenes—as long as it is not a one-sided massacre, they Still interested in fighting for Jinlong.

After confirming that it would not be hit, the eagle-headed boat left the river bank, moved in the same direction as the iron-hulled boat, and slowly approached its channel, and the latter quickly caught up to the parallel position.

Just when the opponent was about to overtake him, the distance between the two ships was only a few meters away. The sailors took up all kinds of weapons and prepared to fight for a round first. After the ships were close together, they jumped over to fight. This is also a common way to deal with merchant ships.

But the deck of the enemy ship was empty, except for a long black pipe at the tail aimed at the ready-to-moving sailors. The long pipe was surrounded by iron sheets, and only a row of small holes were exposed in the center.

Before Eden had time to figure out what it was, the front section of the iron pipe had already ejected a long tongue of flames!

Blood mist suddenly rose from the crowd standing in a row, splashed wood debris and blood scattered everywhere, and the sailors fell in batches like cutting wheat. Neither the barrel nor the mast could help. The place where the iron pipe pointed was where the god of death was. Half of it fell into the water with the canvas rolled up, and the eagle head boat, which had lost its main power, suddenly slowed down.

The turning point in Eden’s fantasy did not happen. He probably understood that it should be a kind of musket, but the firing rate was too fast, so the sound of firing changed from bang bang to continuous sizzle.

It’s just that he couldn’t figure out why a weapon that was extremely slow to reload and had very poor accuracy could do this in the hands of the rebel king… Perhaps, only the power of the devil can explain it.

Soon, a torrential rain of bullets covered him.

*****************

Rodney saw such a battle for the first time, the Roland rampaged, using the hard bow and strong power to crush the opponent, and The opponent has no ability to resist.

He stood on the gun position, waiting to fire at any time, but in the end he couldn’t wait for this opportunity.

When the fourth enemy ship was paralyzed in the middle of the river, the battle was declared over.

The howls and groans of the enemy floated in the air, and those who survived completely lost their will to fight. They swam to the river bank and fled deep into the woods without looking back.

For these bereaved dogs, His Highness did not issue a chase order, and let them leave on their own.

In addition, there are some seriously injured guys who are dying on the wreckage of the ship. Naturally, no one will come to treat them, and what awaits them in the end must be to fend for themselves.

“It’s a pity,” Youpi put the shells back into the box, “I thought I could let the guys from the Musket Battalion see the true power of the artillery.”

“Yes,” Nelson replied regretfully , “Compared to the ammunition consumed by the heavy machine gun just now, one shell is not much more, and it saves trouble.”

“Enough, Miss Anna made this by herself, and it is comparable to the machine gun bullets that can produce hundreds of rounds every day .”

Is it?” Faner frowned, “You guys will fight the siege battle later, give me the aim point, don’t lose face of the Artillery Battalion! You are selected by me—”

“Elite group, Mr. Battalion Commander , You have said it many times,” Nelson spread his hands, “Don’t worry, I promise to blast the gate of the capital within three shots.” He pushed Rodney, “Hey, you can also say something. ”

“I want to have a warship like this…”

“What?” The other four were taken aback.

“I wish I could have one of these shallow-water heavy gunships myself, UUReading Bookwww.sonicmtl.com” he repeated with sparkling eyes, “it’s called the Rodney!”

“Wait, don’t you think this Is it right to give the honor to my brother? It would be better for the second ship to be named the Nelson.”

“No, no…Brother, I won’t let this go.”

“Don’t worry about both of you, the second ship can only be the Vanna, don’t forget who recruited you to the elite gun crew Yes

.”

“Again,” sighed Catpaw.

“Can’t it be Cat’s Claw or Yupi?” Youpi muttered in a low voice.

“No,” the three replied in unison.

When the cement ships that fell behind one after another caught up with the flagship, the expedition fleet set off again.

Two days later, the blue-gray city walls of the royal capital slowly unfolded in front of everyone.
