This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 391

Chapter 391 Encountering pirates

The people of Laine have little experience in seafaring.

The terrain, surrounded by enemies on all sides, leaves the Lane people with only a few borders connected to the ocean.

Hence, Ryan's navigation skills are very poor. At most, he can only get some boats for river use in China.

This giant sailing ship was temporarily built, with many fantasy things added to it.

As a result, just a few days after setting sail to the sea, the Lane people on the ship found themselves severely dizzy.

There is something wrong with the shape of the bottom of this big ship. The slightest wave will rock it for a long time. It seems that the ballast stones were not prepared enough, causing the hull to shake violently.

But there were elites on board, so they didn't get seasick to the point of vomiting. But after two or three days, everyone looked bad, and no one had a good rest at night.

Then there is the issue of direction. The most experienced sailor in Lane is at the level of an apprentice when he goes to sea. If he wants to locate his position in the vast sea, it is not enough to rely on the compass. He accidentally finds that the ship is going astray, and then wants to turn around. The rudder also found that the rudder seemed to be too small, and it would take a long way to turn... Anyway, it was all kinds of troubles and problems, making all the Lane people weak and irritable.

Fortunately, the Light Priest is best at boosting morale and dispelling bad states, so the Lane people can still maintain a certain combat effectiveness.

It's just that if you continue to delay like this, you will lose half of your combat power before you even see the lich.

　　Cerril Roland stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the endless sea.

At the beginning, he felt it was very fresh, and the majestic sea was really eye-opening.

But after a few days, this unchanging scenery became very boring.

The sea without any reference, the invisible shore, this situation will slowly make people become decadent and desperate.

Seril Roland is a paladin with a will as strong as steel, but he can still endure it. But he knew that he could not continue. No matter how tenacious the fighting will of the Lane people was, they could not resist this silent corrosion.

At least do something to stimulate them.

Perhaps, you can go into the sea to hunt sea monsters and provide extra meals for everyone, which can also make this boring sea voyage more exciting.

It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not, at least it makes the atmosphere less boring.

Just when Cyril Roland was thinking about how to let everyone participate in the hunt, the lookout on the mast said loudly: "General Roland! There seems to be a ship in front, about four kilometers away."

Cyril Roland suddenly became interested. It would be a good thing to meet another ship. Whether it is friend or foe, it is much better than this empty sea.

Serril Roland immediately gave the order and moved closer to the opponent.

And the other party seemed to think so too. Cyril Roland soon saw the battleship on the sea level, or should be said to be a pirate ship.

This ship is flying a skull and crossbones flag and is equipped with more than a dozen magic cannons.

The sailors on the ship were all one-eyed and lame, but they all waved their swords feverishly.

This is to regard the Lean warships as merchant ships and prepare to plunder them.

Cyril Roland said in surprise: "Don't they know the flag of Lane? Are the robbers of the sea always so brave?"

This is the ship of the Lion Empire, these pirates are really brave.

This is not because they are blind. The Lane people's ship is too fat and looks like a weird merchant ship. A real warship will not look like this. It is difficult to run.

As for Ryan's flag...who cares which kingdom you belong to? When it comes to the sea, unless you can fly, no matter how powerful the army is on land, it's useless.

The pirate ship was much faster than Ryan's warship, and it quickly entered the shooting range.

The Lean ships also have magic cannons, which are more powerful and have a longer range. It's just that the accuracy of the cannon fire at sea is a problem. Three consecutive cannon shots passed the bow of the ship without even touching the side of the pirate ship.

Those pirates could tell at a glance that the other party was a novice, and they immediately became more excited. They walked around the Lean warship, and then bombarded it with the magic cannon on the side.

Cannonballs flew towards the Lane warship one after another, and the hit rate was several times higher than that of the Lane people. At least three cannonballs were able to hit the hull.

It's just that the caliber of the pirates' magic cannons is too small and not very powerful. Many of them are obsolete and old products that will malfunction after being fired at most three or four times in a row.

Facing the bombardment of pirates' shells, the Lane people's method of coping was simple.

A super giant magic shield rose up, blocking all these shells.

Seeing this scene, the pirates immediately understood that they were in trouble. The cost of this kind of magical defense was extremely high and not something ordinary merchant ships could afford.

Those who can use this magic defense system must have powerful warriors on board.

The pirates were not stupid. They knew that the ship was not easy to rob, so they immediately turned around and ran away. They have the advantage of speed, and if they want to run away, the opponent cannot catch up.

Theoretically, this is true, but after sailing at sea for so many days, the Lane people are almost sick of boredom. They rarely encounter pirates. How can we let them go?

The spellcasters on Ryan's ship began to chant loudly, and huge magic powers gathered and turned into strong winds and blew to the sea, accelerating Ryan's warship fiercely.

This fat warship split the sea arrogantly and chased after the pirate ship. This sudden burst of speed startled these pirates. Their ships were not capable of this.

Seeing that he was about to be overtaken, the Ryan warship suddenly slowed down. It turned out that the storm just now was so violent that their sails were broken.

The people on this ship are all powerful characters, but the hull is really not qualified and is completely unsuitable for sailing on the sea.

The pirates laughed loudly, and many stood on the stern of the ship to urinate, mocking the Lane people fiercely.

Serril Roland stood on the bow of his boat, also very angry. He never expected that the sail could be broken.

Without magic acceleration, the Lean warships really cannot catch up with the pirates.

Are we going to let them go like this?

Seril Roland turned back and looked at the Lane warriors on the deck. Each of them showed expressions eager to fight.

Sailing on the sea is really boring. The cabin is so narrow that there is not even enough space to stretch out. It is a rare opportunity to stretch your muscles and bones. Do you want to miss it?

Cerril Roland was helpless. This battle had to be fought. He really felt sorry for his soldiers.

Seril Roland raised his right hand and announced loudly: "Get ready for battle!"

After saying this, Seril Roland grabbed a cable and flew into the air, chasing the pirate ship.

In addition to Seril Roland, two other paladins made the same move.

Grab the ship's cable and catch up to the pirate ship.

Although the pirate ship looks very fast, this kind of wind-powered sailboat can only reach a speed of 20 to 30 kilometers per hour, while the flying speed can reach 40 kilometers per hour.

Flying on the sea is naturally faster than running on the sea. After a while, the three paladins had caught up with the pirate ship.

Serril Roland landed on the opponent's deck first and tied the cable tightly to the opponent's mast.

The cable stretched straight, causing the pirate ship to shake.

In terms of weight, this pirate ship is far inferior to Lane's battleship.

The pirates swarmed up to kill Cyril Roland and cut off the cable.

But Seril Roland didn't pay attention at all. The long sword was still in the scabbard, and he beat the group of pirates away with a few blows. No pirate could get close to him.

The second and third legendary paladin arrived and **** the bow and stern of the pirate ship, completely cutting off the pirates' chance to escape.

In fact, any one of these three paladins could kill all the pirates, but they defended very patiently. As long as they ensured that the cables would not be cut, they didn't care about anything else.

The sailors on the Lane battleship began to tighten the cables, bringing the two ships closer and closer until the two ships were still a few meters apart. The frustrated Lane warriors quickly jumped onto the pirate ship.

Then, there is no more.

The pirates had no ability to resist at all, and the most powerful one among them was just a poor sorcerer. As soon as he fired a magic blast, his head was blown off by Cyril Roland's sword scabbard.

More than thirty pirates died on the spot, and the remaining forty or fifty were captured alive. Even the pirate ship was robbed by the Lane people.

Cerril Roland looked at the soldiers who were smiling again, and felt that his efforts had finally been in vain.

It would be nice if there were more pirates like this along the way.

Perhaps they will become a fleet when the time comes to conquer the Lich.

While the Lane people were celebrating, they didn't notice several small metal fighters passing by in the sky.

These metal fighters are equipped with memory crystals and zoom lenses, which can clearly record everything happening below even at high altitudes.

After the battle was over, these fighters immediately left and returned to the mothership hundreds of kilometers away.

In the cabin, Hasting quickly obtained the memory crystals. After confirming that they were correct, they looked at the red-haired girl aside.

She has waist-length red hair, a blue and silver heavy armor, and the hammer hanging on her waist is constantly beating with sparks. This is a beautiful girl full of oppression. She is Her Royal Highness Ariel, the princess of the Kingdom of Rage.

"Your Highness, please take a look." Hasting's mechanical arm held the memory crystals firmly and handed them to Ariel, who looked serious.

Ariel carefully checked the content captured above and said with a sneer: "A group of landlubbers played naval battles like a house, and they dared to laugh out loud before they saw the anger of Talos. When they saw the huge waves, When you do it, your legs will become weak from fear."

Hastings was very satisfied when he saw Ariel, and said politely: "Then your Highness the Princess should understand the quality of our products, then what about the order we talked about before."

Ariel stared at Hasting, maintaining a cold expression, and said calmly: "Your price is too high, even if it is a monopoly business, it is too overbearing. We were born in this sea, and we didn't need these airships. No matter how good your products are, we can do this business or not.”
