Although it was late at night, the coast of Silmarillion Island was as bright as day. Hundreds of torches and glass lamps were fastened to wooden poles, linking the light together. By the light, the soldiers of Ankara stood in several rows in an orderly manner, stood by the cannon, and waited silently.

Sturt stood high on the hillside and watched, looking forward to the return of the five ships, but the five ships had been missing for a long time, so he became more and more anxious.

What happened to those ships? Why does it take so long to deal with a ship? Is that a trap? How many ships does the other party have? How many powerhouses are there?

Just when Sturt was puzzled, a small bright spot appeared at the end of the Haitian Line, and he quickly fixed his eyes on it.

At first, he thought it was his own ship returning, but he soon realized that he was wrong. It was not the ship of Ankara, but an unmarked boat, very similar to the one that came to provoke before!

"Could it be that the ship I sent has been wiped out?" Sturt thought in disbelief. He quickly recognized this guess, and he felt endless hatred in his heart. cramp.

The Silmarillion Island is his territory and his comfort zone. Once the Silmarillion Island falls, his good days will come to an end, so this group of incoming enemies must be eliminated.

The problem at the moment is that they don't know the details of the enemy. Although only one ship has rushed over, they don't know what kind of forces are entrenched on the sea.

Ster intends to catch some prisoners for questioning, but after the last lesson, he does not plan to send ordinary ships to pursue them, because the other party's boats are too fast.

He made up his mind and ordered, "Go gather the sailors and captains, and go with me to drive the Iron Rhinoceros!"

When the soldiers heard the words, one of them asked, "Are you going to send a magic boat to attack this ship?"

"A ship is a fart!" Stur looked at the gradually enlarged spot of light on the sea with hatred, "I don't know how many ships and personnel are behind them, but they will definitely not be less. If we don't figure it out, our battle There's no way to fight. In case... in case they're large and their ships are good, we'll have to ask for help at home."

The soldiers spoke in low voices, and the morale of the army was a little shaken. They were used to being intimidating on the island and had not fought hard battles for a long time.

Several messengers mounted their horses and ran back to the island to gather the crew. The Ironclad Rhino is the strongest ship on the island. The sailors and captains on board are fixed, and ordinary sailors are not worthy of it.

Before the people were assembled, Sturt rode to the dock first, passing a straight artificial river on the way.

The dock was built by the state of Ankara to repair ships on the island and was also the anchorage of the Ironclad Rhino. There are two third-order swordsmen who take turns to take care of it, and artillery is also set up at the door, which is extremely guarded.

Sturt arrived here in a hurry, shouting to light the lights. The people in the dock did as they were told, and soon, the lights were bright here.

Under the light, the Iron Armored Rhinoceros is full of prominence. Its body as long as 90 yards shines with metallic luster. The thick iron plate on the surface gives people a strong sense of strength, even if the shells cannot penetrate it. This boat is just like the description of the name. It looks a bit like a rhinoceros. There is a "rhino horn" on the bow of the boat. It is a huge drill bit. There is no trace. Another weapon on the ship is a gun. It is located in the middle of the ship. The muzzle is enough to fit five pigs without being too crowded. Based on the thickness of the muzzle, you can guess the power of this gun.

This ship has no mast or sails. It is powered only by magic devices. On both sides of the hull, there is a wheel paddle with a shield. Once the magic furnace is ignited, the wheel paddle will rumble and rotate, and Similar to a horse wheel.

In a nutshell, this third-order magic ship is characterized by being sturdy and bulky, powerful in firepower, and short in range.

Even a magic ship of the same rank may not be able to penetrate the guard of this ship, but this ship can sink a magic ship of the same rank in one shot—provided that the door can be hit.

Seeing the majestic appearance of this giant steel beast, Sturt was a little relieved, and the ordinary magic boat is definitely not the opponent of this boat.

The people responsible for driving the ship gradually gathered, and the huge magic furnace had begun to operate, making a rumbling sound.

Sturt pulled out his command sword, raised his finger, and shouted, "Go! Rush for me and blow the heads of these enemies!"

The wheel paddles on both sides of the Ironclad Rhino slowly turned, from slow to fast, and drove out of the dock. The two searchlights in front of the bow lit up, illuminating the sea in front of them like a golden ribbon. These two lights looked like the eyes of this giant steel beast.

This "giant beast" spread out and ran happily, and soon galloped out of this straight river.

The one-eyed on the boat heard the lookout's report and learned that the Ironclad Rhino had attacked. He was not surprised but delighted, because this is the fattest big fish on the whole island!

"Stop the attack, let's flee north! At the same time, we will release the information eagle and the murlocs to report to the fleet, and let them hurry up to meet us. The battle is about to start!" One Eye immediately ordered. Although this ship is brisk, it is not an opponent of the magic ship, and it is too late to escape now. Their purpose is to fish, not to be eaten by fish.

On the vast and boundless sea, this small boat is so inconspicuous, like a little starlight. The light took a bend and fled to the north.

The Ironclad Rhino carried three brisk boats in pursuit. The magic boat gradually surpassed the ordinary boats, leaving the three boats behind and running wildly.

The gap between the two sides is getting smaller and smaller, and the boat where the one-eyed is more and more dangerous.

The Iron Rhino had a poor range of 200 yards, beyond which the fire would disperse and fall down. This range is lower than that of ordinary artillery, so it is difficult to make this kill hit the target. In order to bring the ship closer to the enemy ships, the ship is equipped with a chain hook type weapon.

"Launch the 'locking claws'!"

With the order of Sturt, the front end of the Ironclad Rhino opened two muzzles, and two thin guns were pushed out from them. The muzzles were not loaded with shells, but with a closed triangular hook. After two cannon shots, the hooks shot out, over a distance of more than 400 yards. One of them pierced the stern of the boat ahead, then slammed open and got stuck in the hole.

There is another mechanism behind the hook, and a winch is installed. After hitting the target, it starts to pull immediately. The chain was shortened bit by bit, and the huge pulling force dragged the boat.

The Ironclad Rhino was three times the size of the boat, and was extremely heavy. With her tow, the boat could not be expected to advance halfway.

The boat began to retreat, reducing the distance to the enemy ship.

One-eyed rushed to the stern to check the condition of the hook. Seeing that it was not good, he immediately drew his gun and fired, adding his own power to the bullet.

After the bullet was fired, an air mass shrouded it, hit the stern plank, and shattered it directly. The hook lost its focus and fell with a clatter, falling into the sea, smashing a black spray.

In this way, the ship can run a further distance. However, if the hooks were shot one after another, the stern of the ship would be scrapped and in trouble.

One-eyed and the people on the boat are only looking forward to being able to fall into the arms of their partners ahead.

With the Cangyan around, even this iron-clad monster ship can't succeed!

The Ironclad Rhino had preparation time to launch the hook. After pulling the hook back, it paused for two minutes before firing the second shot. This time, both hooks were nailed to the boat. Sturt cheered the soldiers.

Some people were happy and some were sad. Seeing this scene from the one-eyed side, they gritted their teeth and fired two shots respectively, smashing two wooden boards. This time, the stern has become a vent, and you can directly see the enemy ship behind, and the sea below is also pouring in relentlessly.

After such a delay, the two sides were only three hundred yards apart.

One-eyed felt that the magic ship behind him might attack at any time, and the current situation was too dangerous.

"Everyone abandoned the boat and jumped into the sea, spread out around, our people will come to rescue us soon, don't be afraid!" One Eye ordered.

Most of the boats were murlocs and spit frogs. Even a small number of sailors and captains had good water skills and would have no problem jumping into the sea. Everyone rushed to the deck and jumped into the sea one by one, and the ship became an empty ship.

Even if the ship was destroyed now, it would be meaningless, but Sturt held a grudge in his heart and ordered the firing.

"boom!"

The boat spit out a fireball, like a small sun, illuminating the sea. The fireball drew a parabola and fell above the boat, directly smashing the boat. Flames and shards of wood floated and crackled on the sea.

"Hurry up and grab a few live ones for me to ask questions!" Stern shouted.

The soldiers were already ready, and they started salvaging people who fell into the sea with different tools in their hands. One tool is a long, narrow rod with a hook at the end; the other is a hook wire that can be thrown for use.

The Ironclad Rhino ran over the sea and caught up with a group of fleeing enemies. Soldiers used poles and hooks to hook the drowning man's clothes and deadlift him onto the boat. Relying on the number of people, the soldiers rushed up and quickly subdued those who came up.

"Who are you? How many ships are there? Who is the leader? How strong are you?" Stranger asked, his eyes blood red.

The pirate who was caught sneered and said, "I won't tell you, what can you do to me?"

"Looking for death!" Sturt pulled out his saber in anger, poised to stab the captive's thigh, and gave him some color to taste.

At this moment, the hull of the ship suddenly vibrated violently, and Sturt stood unsteadily and stabbed the side with a sword. He found the shaking unusual, turned his attention away from the captive, looked around and asked, "What's going on?"

"Admiral, this shaking may come from under the sea!" an adjutant guessed.

A gleam flashed in Ster's eyes, nodded and said: "It makes sense, quickly ask the murlocs escorting the bottom of the sea what happened."

The soldiers ran to starboard and starboard, grabbed the fenders, and asked loudly. The shaking of the hull intensified, and many fell. I saw that the head of a mermaid finally appeared in the sea, and replied in panic: "There is a big monster in the sea, it is..."

Before it could finish speaking, a tentacle stretched out from the bottom of the sea, circled in a circle, restrained it, and dragged it into the sea.

The owner of this tentacle is the heart-snatching ammonite beast Xiaozhang. Although the one-eyed order was to retreat, it saw that the Iron Armored Rhinoceros had captured many companions and couldn't bear it, so instead of running away, he chose to interfere with the ship at the bottom of the sea. boat, buy time for everyone to escape.

When Sturt saw the tentacles, his expression changed dramatically, and he said in surprise, "What on earth are they from, they can actually drive sea monsters!"

"I'm a sea beast, not a sea monster!" A muffled sound came from the bottom of the sea, and many tentacles stretched out to surround the Iron Armored Rhinoceros. The thick tentacles knocked many people to the ground, and several fell into the sea.

Xiaozhang on the bottom of the sea suddenly dragged, but he was not strong enough to drag such a huge iron lump into the sea.

"Damn bastard! I must bake and eat you." Sturt yelled angrily, and took off the bow and a fiery red magic arrow with his backhand, and tied the two together to make a full moon. Rolling air flowed from his body, his eyes aimed at the row of tentacles in front of him, and his fingers suddenly loosened.

The arrow turned into a flash of fire, quickly spread out, and turned into a firebird, and every feather was as sharp as a knife.

The firebird flew over and cut off Xiaozhang's tentacles one by one, and strings of blood poured out of the fractures. The tentacles trembled with pain and retracted into the sea.

Xiao Zhang burst into tears in pain, resisted the pain, attacked again, and wrapped the Iron Armored Rhino with tentacles.

"I want to see how many tentacles you have!" Sturt's face was stern, and he held four ordinary arrows with a big hand. There was a screeching sound on the tip of the arrow, like a flock of birds contending.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The four arrows hit the four tentacles respectively, and then exploded with a bang, which actually had an explosive effect. The four tentacles snapped off.

There were still more than a dozen tentacles left on the deck, and Sturt took out the arrows and attacked again and again.

Thanks to Xiaozhang for entangling the Ironclad Rhino, it bought time for everyone to escape.

The one-eyed has no such good thing as avoiding water beads, and can only swim in the usual way. He looked back and saw Xiao Zhang's tentacles breaking, frowned, secretly said "Hold on", and turned his head back.

This group of pirates struggled to swim forward, and suddenly someone said happily: "Look ahead! There is a shadow of a ship!"

Hearing the words, One-eyed raised his head and looked forward, only to see a long row of small shadows in front of him. The ship in the middle that was walking in front was red and red, it was the Cangyan.

"It's time to close the net." One-eyed looked cold and stopped in place.

The speed of the sailboat was so fast that it rushed to the front in a moment, and the Cang Yan, headed by it, stopped and dropped several ropes. One-Eyed and the sailors pulled the ropes and climbed onto the boat.

After the one-eyed boarded the ship, he commanded: "Activate the flight ability, accelerate forward, and destroy the Iron Armored Rhino!"

"My darling, it's time for us to show up." Because it was night, Frankie was able to steer the boat himself. When he pulled the rudder, there was a mechanical noise below the deck, and the flamethrowers on both sides were extended, aimed at Thick tongues of fire erupted from the sea.

After the Cangyan took off, it threw away the fleet and rushed forward.

After seeing the shadow of the Ironclad Rhinoceros, One Eye and the sailors shouted together: "Xiao Zhang! You are not needed here, sink to the bottom of the sea and rest!"

The sound came together and reached Xiao Zhang's ears. It pulled back the broken tentacle wearily and sank into the sea.

Sturt also heard the movement, hurriedly withdrew the bow and arrow, and looked up. When he saw Cangyan's figure, he felt a shudder in his heart, and it was mostly cold.

not good! They also have magic boats, and they are magic boats that can fly! And no matter what the strength of this ship is, I can't get enough of just throwing dynamite barrels down on it. My Ironclad Rhino has too short a range to be beaten but can't hit the sky, not a match for this ship. And they also have a lot of ordinary ships, which are too strong. It seems that from the initial sneak attack to the current temptation to go out to sea, it was all their scheming, really hateful. For now, it's better to withdraw to the Treasure Diamond Island first. There are many cannons there, and they can be dealt with by these cannons.

Sturt has been stationed on the Treasure Diamond Island all the year round, and he does not hear anything outside the window, and does not know anything about the Evil Dragon Pirates and the Cangyan. Otherwise, he would be twice as scared now.

"Everyone hid in the cabin, let's evacuate to the pier first!" Stepon rushed into the gangway first, and the other sailors hurriedly followed behind.

This is another advantage of the Ironclad Rhino. The ship relies entirely on magic devices to move forward, and the surface is covered with all-round guards. After encountering danger, the crew can all hide in the cabin.

The Cangyan was faster than the Iron Armored Rhino, and gradually caught up~lightnovelpub.net~ released two red lotus destroying cannons, shortening the distance again. The two cannons blasted twice, releasing two pillars of fire, which hit the wheel paddle shields on both sides. If the two roars can be destroyed, the Iron Rhino will be paralyzed. The destructive power of these two pillars of fire is very powerful, but after hitting the shield, only two scorched black **** were left, but they failed to penetrate them!

How could One Eye be reconciled, let the two guns pursue continuous pursuit, hit different parts of the Ironclad Rhinoceros, looking for weak points. But after a round of attacks, they couldn't even make a hole.

If there is any further delay, the Ironclad Rhino will sail to the Silmarillion Island. At that time, it will not be easy to clean up the ship.

"Summon out the fire elf, let's fight quickly!" One Eye ordered.

The two magic weapons were ordered, aimed the muzzle at the night sky, and fired with a bang, the flames intertwined, forming a magic circle. A huge fiery figure stood out from it, looking at the Iron Armored Rhinoceros below with contempt, holding a roaring fire dragon in each of his four hands.

There are several small lookout ports on the Iron Armored Rhino, from which stretched telescopes that can be turned. Through this, Sturt was able to observe the sky. He was scared to death just by looking at it. Na Na said: " What is this big monster?"
