13. Captain Mackintosh


There are several rebel archers hiding in the bunker outside the hatch of the deck, through the dim light in the corridor, as long as there is a figure shaking in the corridor, there will be messy arrows flying into the corridor messily, the rebels try to use bows and arrows, block us in the cabin on this floor, the minotaur Ruka rushed to the front with a door panel, but did not expect that there was a real archer lurking in this group of rebels.The man in black lurked in the group of archers, but he didn't succeed in a single blow, the figure flashed, and disappeared directly, and only the assassin among the archers would immediately flee thousands of miles away if he missed a blow.Although he could not travel thousands of miles, he was gone.Seeing that I had only suffered a slight abrasion on my arm, Ruka the Minotaur let out a low roar of rage when he saw that the black-clad archer had already taken refuge in the rebel ranks on the deck.He held a double-edged axe in his left hand, and with the other hand against a broken door board, he rushed up against the messy arrows, savagely slashed the double-edged axe on the door frame, and then kicked the door frame connecting the deck, and several rebel knife men who were ambushed at the door were directly knocked away by the sudden huge impact, and after a few plops, they fell on the deck in embarrassment.Ruka jumped from the corridor to the deck, his strong body knocked two rebel crew members away, he was like a land storm bear in the mountains of New Siachis, the double-edged axe pulled out a half-moon-shaped blood mist-like red knife, the heavy double-edged axe split a rebel in half, the two rebels held a scimitar, took the opportunity to jump from the mast above Ruka's head, at this time Ruka seemed to have a pair of eyes behind him, at the moment when the rebel's raised scimitar fell quickly, and was about to cut the back of Ruka's neck, Ruka's body suddenly leaned forward, One foot takes a half-step forward, and the body uses this foot as a support point, and turns sharply.The double-edged axe turned into a red half-moon, cutting off the two rebels at the back door.Our team has begun to grow, and most of the cabins on this level are occupied by nobles of status, and some of them have taken up arms and carefully pushed open the hatch.After the panic began, people who calmed down immediately realized that blindly avoiding would eventually become lambs to the slaughter.Only by resisting effectively can you win your freedom.The tanner was followed by the tanner, who had already replaced his hand with a long knife and hid behind Ruka along with the other two young knights, who had apparently become Ruka's trusted partners in battle.He was followed by three young nobles who emerged from their luxurious cabins, dressed in elaborate leather armor and carrying Crusader sabers in their hands, who looked like generals of the Imperial Guard.We were also joined by two noble servants with the status of marquis, who were physically strong and had very steady hands holding weapons, and it could be seen that they were warriors who had been on the battlefield and had seen great battles.There is no shortage of such excellent warriors in El City, but in the past three years, few of the outstanding warriors who have stood out from the commoners are willing to serve the nobles of El City, and the reason is that the conflict between nobles and commoners has reached a new height, which directly leads to many excellent civilian warriors who have graduated from the academy and are unwilling to serve the nobles.The nobles, who were usually pampered, were powerless in the face of this sudden disaster, so when the rebel crew showed their vicious fangs, they were killed on their backs, and blood stained the wooden floor of the entire corridor.The two proud young knights, with Roman swords in their hands, cooperated with each other tacitly, the two of them would always work together to deal with a rebel, this small tactical coordination made them look very eye-catching, always one holding a knight's light shield for defense, and the other for the Roman sword to kill, I could see the shadow of the tactical coordination of the El City Guard Battalion from their movements.As for the three young men with the Crusader sabers, the way of fighting is a bit old-fashioned and orthodox, they will always choose to face a rebel alone, defeat them in a duel, and give them a very dignified death, this ancient way of fighting that only the Imperial Guards will pass down, in my eyes is undoubtedly self-defeating, if these young warriors have the courage to do so when they meet the barbarians.I followed at the back of the group, with four series of stone drum totems floating on my body, to make sure that the members of this temporary squad could feel the magical aura of the stone drum totem, and to keep that these warriors could maintain an ice shield on their bodies, and a support mage could greatly boost the morale of a combat team.Because of this, under the leadership of the Minotaur Ruka, this improvised battle team, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, suddenly broke the rebels on the deck, killing them in all directions, the black-clothed archer stood at the top of the main mast, shot his second arrow, the target chose the Minotaur Ruka, the pitch-black arrow in the night sky, difficult to find, the arrow directly through Ruka's shoulder armor, deeply embedded in the thick muscles of his shoulder.Ruka looked at the black arrow in surprise, and angrily pulled the arrow out of the shoulder armor, and with the barbed tip of the arrow, it brought out a handful of blood at once.This light armor of the Minotaur Ruka was made by the master blacksmith in the blacksmith's shop with a steel plate mixed with magic red copper, it is very solid, I didn't expect this black-clothed archer to be able to shoot through with an arrow, and then, the arrow can still have the spare power to pierce Ruka's petrified skin, which shocked me very much.I'm confident that Ruka can defend himself against any attack on the battlefield with this armor, and it seems that I'm a bit arrogant.Many people think that the archer is the nemesis of the mages, and the longbow in their hands is the biggest threat to the mage, but in the eyes of Mentor Heidi, the mage is also the nemesis of the archer, and the magic skills of the mage are also a very big threat to the archer.On the chaotic deck, the members of the battle team began to hunt down the rebels who were scattered and fled, intending to hide, the death of the young rebel captain brought them a great degree of panic, the rebels on the deck lost the will to fight, I could hear some kind of battle going on in the cabin below, the lower deck was the rest area of the civilians, and in the room there, a large number of civilian warriors who went to the imperial capital to break into the world gathered.The sky showed a hint of fish belly white, and the entire airship became extremely noisy before dawn, and the rebels could no longer control the battle situation on the entire airship, and they were completely defeated.I stood at the doorway of the cabin, looking up at the black-clad archer on the topmost crossbar of the mainmast, standing on the sail mast, a little shaky by the strong winds, his bright eyes were watching the whole deck of the airship, and he was now shooting an arrow at Ruka, holding the longbow in one hand and rubbing his shoulder with the other, as if he could not shoot such a powerful arrow.Glancing at the wound on my arm that had gradually healed, I decided to give him a color.I rarely use the magic of time stagnation, because I feel that this magic will make me feel a kind of dependence, and after using it regularly, I will slowly lose patience to quietly perceive the unique rhythm and rhythm of each magic skill, and I will become very dependent on the magic of time stagnation.I don't need it to help me increase my casting rate, because I can control the rhythm of these magic skills very well, and I don't even need it to help me increase my casting speed when I cast the Ice Shield, because I am very skilled in casting the Ice Shield.But Ice Archery is different, it takes at least two and a half seconds of cast time, and it will condense a very obvious magic ice arrow in front of the caster's body, giving the opponent enough time to prevent and prepare, therefore, I need time to stop the two seconds of the subdimensional space that the magic gives me.When we were learning the magic skill of time stagnation, Tutor Heidi gave us the requirement to quickly complete the casting of this magic skill within a second, if any student couldn't do it, then she would fail in her magic skills basic class, everyone knew that Tutor Heidi's course failure was a very scary thing, so the students in the magic academy were very proficient in the magic skill of time stagnation, including me.Quickly drew a light blue magic pattern circle in the air, and let his whole person enter a very mysterious space, empty and dead silence all around, this is a subdimensional space where only I exist, I can only stay in this space for two seconds, I can draw a magic pattern circle in this space and chant spells at will, as long as the spell is correct.In this subdimensional space, it doesn't matter if the magic pattern circle is drawn, even if it can't be finished, when the subdimensional space disappears, I will take the half-drawn magic pattern circle to appear from the magic space, and then complete the rest in the real space, this is the true meaning of rapid spellcasting.Because of the use of time stasis magic, to the eyes of the others on the deck of the airship, my ice archery technique was simply achieved overnight, like an instantaneous magic.A light blue magic arrow condensed with countless ice crystals appeared strangely above my head, and at the end of this magic arrow, the ice magic elements continued to float outward, and I sighed secretly: It seems that my ice archery skills are not perfect, and the phenomenon of overflowing magic elements will still occur.However, this is already my strongest attack magic, and when I used the magic catalytic magic scroll, I looked at the ice arrow that was infinitely close to complete, and said in my heart: It turns out that the ice arrow technique in the hands of a third-level magician is like this.As a first-level magician, the ice archery technique I release normally cannot condense the tail of an arrow.This ice arrow barely paused, and at the moment it was formed, it was pulled by my spiritual power, and it was directly out of my control, shooting towards the black-clothed archer on the mast, the ice arrow flew much faster than any arrow, but it was in the dark, a little too gorgeous, and the crystal clear arrow emitted a white light.The black-clothed archer standing on the mast saw the next moment of the ice arrow, and jumped down from the mast without hesitation, and the landing point was not any place on the deck of the airship, but jumped directly from the airship, and the ice arrow hit the mast and burst out a brilliant ice flower like fireworks, and at the top of the mast, where the ice arrow had hit, a layer of light blue ice crystals condensed on the canvas and the mast.The swift reflexes of the black-clad archer allowed him to dodge the ice arrows, and he was like a falcon, curling up and falling down as fast as he could.I didn't expect him to give up the rebels on the entire airship so easily and escape alone, I know that I have enough ability to protect myself from being injured when I land, but it would be a bit too hasty to give up this airship so easily.The moment the black-clad archers jumped off the airship, the rebels on the deck who had no will to fight, but were desperately hiding from the pursuit of the Ruka battle team on the airship, finally lost the last trace of the will to fight, they threw their weapons on the ground, raised their hands and chose to surrender The battle in the lower cabin of the deck is still ongoing, and I was about to rush into the negative cabin with Ruka to deal with the rebels there.But at this time, Lady Arya ran out of the cabin and brought me another piece of news: according to Viscount August, the original owner of the airship, Captain Mackintosh, was being held in the cargo hold at the very bottom of the airship, along with several crew members of the airship.Moreover, he reminded me that after the death of the rebel captain and after the scuffle, the airship had been sailing out of control, although it was still in the original wind layer, but without the captain in charge of the helm, the airship would inevitably deviate from the course again.Before the ripe cherry lady could finish speaking, I turned and ran down the cabin.We were able to rescue the dying captain Mackintosh from the bottom of the ship, the old captain and his crew were already in the bottom of the ship, hungry for two days and two nights, looking emaciated and dish-looking, in this hold, food and water were their worst enemies, apparently the rebels did not bring them a drop of water or a grain of rice, they were starving.He is very grateful to me for saving his life.Ruka took some food and water out of his bag and handed them to the dying crew members, the minotaur had only some of the most ordinary wheat cakes in his backpack, but for the crew who had been hungry for three days, there was no doubt that these wheat cakes were the most delicious food in the world.They divided the food in their hands into small pieces, trying to get a little bit for everyone, and swallowed it in one gulp, and I explained to him the situation on the airship, and when I said that the airship had deviated from the course and was heading in the direction of the Ziqing Mountains.Captain Mackintosh, who had just taken a few sips of water and looked a little soothed, looked frightened, and the kettle in his hand clattered and fell to the ground.
