"Put away the sails and put torches by the plank! Light it all up! Those who are waiting in the cabin should get down to me quickly! " In the thick fog, only fire and sound can be used as the medium of information transmission, which is something the captains have long thought of. Therefore, almost all ships have fixed torches or heaps on their own decks early. On the one hand, this can mark the position of their ships for their companions to prevent collision with each other. On the other hand, it also enables the crew to understand the captain''s instructions and not get lost on their own ships.
The reason for manning the cabins is that most ships do not have birch bottoms, and it is not impossible for the sirens to attack from below. In order to report the damage of the hull in time, the sailors in the cabin should repair the cracks that can be remedied, and at the same time, they should also block the sea monsters landing from the bottom of the ship. After lighting the torch beside the captain''s rudder, the first mate nodded to hafdan in the light of the fire. He had to go to the cabin to lead the sailors, and the matter on the deck was up to the captain.
"Throw all your fears into the water! All the knives out! But look, if someone cuts down on his own, I''ll tie him up and drag him to the stern Huffdan growled, pulled down the mechanism beside the steering wheel, locked the rudder''s direction, and drew out his sword. He had not fought with the sword for many years, and his sailors and mate had been loyal to him ever since he became the captain of the black arrow. So what the captain can hope for now is that he is as sharp as he was a few years ago.
"Dong! Bang The sound of the drum came from the depths of the fog and attracted the attention of the black arrow. This is also the signal agreed by the captains before sailing. When a ship starts to beat the drum, it proves that it has been attacked. Similarly, when the degree of attack is beyond the scope of the ship, the drumbeat will change from a gentle announcement to a rush signal for help. "Dong! Bang Drums of different timbre come from all directions. If these signals are true, it means that the whole fleet has been attacked by sea monsters at multiple positions.
"Well, these fish men were just testing." Captain hafdan murmured that he did not believe that the vanguard sent by the sirens was only the victims of the morale improvement of the soldiers. That cannon fodder must be doing something good for the sirens. And that effect is likely to have something to do with the current attack.
"Enemy attack!" The shouts of the crew caught everyone''s attention, and hafdan looked down at the source of the sound and saw a shadow climbing up the starboard edge of the deck in the firelight. Two sailors rushed up with machetes in their hands, but before they could cut them down, the shadow raised his hand and cried, "I, man!" The two sailors hesitated for a moment, while hafdan, who was on the top, scolded at the same time, "those two fools!" The next second, he yelled that he was a human shadow, drew a sword from his back and ran through the throat of one of them. Another sailor shouts after knowing it later, but he is kicked by the enemy who has climbed on the deck and hits the key below. Then there is the sound of crushing people''s throat.
"Starboard three! That guy is a fish man. Throw him off the deck In fact, there was no need for the captain to point out the direction. All the crew on the deck noticed what had just happened. However, the sea demon only needs to fight for the landing time. Different from the slaves before, the sea monsters who were sent to attack were real soldiers of strong waves. Although they were not so elite, they were much better than the sailors in terms of training and equipment. Not to mention his companions who had been climbing the deck one after another.
"Captain, shall we ask for help?" The drummer inquired of hafdan, who had seen four or five of his companions killed in the battle against the siren who had boarded the deck.
"Fart! Ask for help now. How can the black arrow stay at sea The answer was not the captain, but the first mate who rushed out of the cabin when he didn''t know when. "Captain, there''s nothing going on down there. I''ll kill these fish cubs first and then go back to guard the cabin. Otherwise, all the people below will be like frightened rabbits."
Hafdan wanted to stop the first mate''s behavior, but stressed that the discipline of combat was of no use among the loosely connected sailors, so the captain wisely gave up doing so and went to the room behind him. Hafdan''s temporary departure did not attract anyone''s attention. Now all the attention on the ship has been focused on cutting down two sirens in succession and forcing the last one to board the ship to the desperate mate. And his opponent is not simple, the third sea demon''s skill and the other two are not the same, he died in his hands more than the other two combined. In fact, if the fog were lighter, the sailors would see that the sea demon''s armor was decorated with wavy patterns, which meant that he had the rank of captain in the army of letao, and that he had killed at least ten enemies by himself.
Of course, with the level of human understanding of the siren, even if they see the tattoo on the captain of the sea demon, they may not be able to identify it. But that doesn''t mean the first mate of the black arrow will be the next to die under the shell sword. As the oldest sailor around hafdan, although he was reckless and even a little brainless, he was still a worthy second in command of the black arrow, because his loyalty, bravery and determination were like two sides of a coin and his bad side existed at the same time."Oh, you salty fish smelling bastard, you think you are very good, don''t you? Ah? I will make your blood a stain on the deck, because a million bastards like you are no better than a good guy who was killed by you! " The first mate''s murmur turned into a roar. He held a log axe in his hands. Although the handle of the axe was lengthened and counterweights were installed at the bottom, it was indeed a lumberjack, just as the first mate was a woodcutter.
Tomahawk, leaving a conspicuous trace in the fog, the fog on the edge of the trace rotates, faithfully recording the speed and strength of this axe. Sea monsters have never seen such weapons. Most sailors use machetes or daggers. These weapons are easier to move on narrow decks, and are more portable and used for other purposes. Therefore, he made a major mistake, that is, he regarded the slash of the Tomahawk as a threat of the same level as that of the machete, and hoped to take this attack with his own solid armor.
"Poof!" The fallen Tomahawk was deeply embedded in the sea demon''s left shoulder and shoulder, and almost cut off his arm. However, on the other hand, the spiral shell sword also fell on the chief mate''s waist by virtue of inertia. Unfortunately, it was entangled by his clothes, and the blade with serrated blade only penetrated the first mate''s skin.
"Ha ha! That''s what I said. Go down to the sea and feed the fish! " The first mate laughed, completely ignoring the blade. He stepped on the sea demon''s shoulder and pulled out the Tomahawk. But the sea demon''s tenacity was beyond the sailor''s imagination. His right hand loosened the hilt of his sword and grabbed the first mate''s leg. Then he pounced forward and opened his mouth to reveal two rows of sharp teeth. His target was between the two legs of the first mate. The first mate was surprised. He didn''t expect that the opponent would have the ability to retaliate, let alone attack his vulnerable parts in such a disgusting way. But he didn''t have time to react, and the next second his vital part would be shattered under the sea demon''s sharp teeth.
"Whoosh!" A winged arrow will not make such a sound in the air because it is not fast enough. The only thing that can produce such a harsh sound by friction with air is the short arrow shot by a well-made crossbow. The short arrow, coming from behind the chief mate and passing through his crotch, accurately hits the sea demon''s open mouth. The back end of the arrow sticks out the lips, and the front end runs through his spine. Only one person on the black arrow has a crossbow that can shoot such an arrow. It is because of this crossbow that the ship has the name of black arrow.
"Next time, find someone who doesn''t have such a good mouth to do it." Said Captain hafdan, who saved his first mate''s life.
