From the deck of the airship downward, you can clearly see that a piece of fresh green has sprouted on the vast earth, gray mountains and rivers loom in the morning light and fog, undulating mountains and mountains from west to east, like a dragon's tail, and the gateway mountain, which is several kilometers high, is like a bone spur on the dragon's tail.Many of them heard the shrill hissing and ran out of the cabin and stood on the deck to find out what was going on, and the uneasiness slowly grew in the crowd, and the experienced travelers looked very solemn, huddled around the side of the ship and looked at the source of the sound.Although I didn't have the kind of eyesight training that the archers did, I had extraordinary eyesight, even better than some of the archer's apprentices.Looking in the direction of the portal mountain on the left side of the ship, above the clouds and mist that were traveling by the wind, reflecting the dazzling sunlight of the stars, like a flying fish passing through the endless sea, the silver body passed through the sea of clouds, and a pair of short fleshy wings would make its body shoot forward like an arrow every time it opened and closed, and their speed was extremely fast, and even the tumbling sea of clouds was drawn in a straight line wherever they passed.Originally, it was just a sea of clouds, with a little light from time to time, but in a moment it expanded into a black dot, and then formed a straight silver thread, breaking through the clouds and flying towards us.Just when I secretly rejoiced that only one wind snake appeared in my vision, Captain Mackintosh beside me exclaimed, I followed his line of sight, a trace of coolness from the back of the spine directly to the top of my head, as far as I could see, dozens of silver threads broke through the clouds and rushed towards our airship, silver light was like a sparkling lake jumping silverfish."
It's too late, guys, push those guys in the warehouse over the deck!"
Captain Mackintosh stood by the railing of the captain's quarters and shouted loudly into the deck.At this time, several crew members ran from the deck to the bottom of the aft captain's cabin, they lifted a cellar-like hatch, and there was a wooden triangular boom on the side, and the two crew members pulled the rope on the boom and the pulley hook on the boom into the cabin, and the crew moved very skillfully.It didn't take long for someone below to shout, "Alright, pull it up, guys!"
Be careful, this is a big guy!
”I watched curiously at the nimble crew as they slowly pulled a behemoth in a gray rain jacket out of the hatch with their booms.One of the crew members standing on the tall mast lookout shouted to the bottom, "They're coming, guys, hurry!"
”"Captain Mackintosh, maybe I can help too!"
Seeing the figures of the wind snakes becoming clearer and clearer in my vision, I pulled out the Thur silver barrel from my magic waist bag, held it in my hand, and said to Captain Mackintosh."
Wizard Jiga, thank you very much for your willingness to stand up and help everyone when the airship is in trouble."
Despite Captain Mackintosh's words, his eyes were still full of worry.At this time, a series of behemoths were pulled out of the cabin by the crew, and then the crew took out the proposed wooden tracks and laid them on the deck of the ship's wife, these behemoths were placed on the tracks, and in the creaking and jerky friction sound, the behemoths wrapped in overcoats were pushed to the edge of the ship's side, and the seemingly useless round holes on the deck happened to become the mounting holes for fixing the brackets.Subsequently, two crew members were responsible for lifting the thick tarpaulin rain cover, revealing the well-maintained bed crossbow inside, the bowstring made of thick raw cow tendon on the bed crossbow, and the crossbow arrows more than two meters long were placed on the shelves on both sides of the bed crossbow, and the crew hung the bowstring of raw cow tendon on the back of the bow, and then used the noose to tighten the bowstring on the bed crossbow, and in a blink of an eye, three bed crossbows were installed on the deck of the airship, and the bowstring was successfully installed.In the confusion, Ruka the Minotaur crawled out of the tent in the corner of the deck, and with a confused look, stood in the panicked crowd and kept looking for me, and when he saw me standing leisurely in the captain's cabin at the stern, his mood calmed down, and he made a gesture to me ready to fight."
Kom, go and take out all the demon sealing chests hidden in the bilge!"
Captain Mackintosh commanded his second mate at this time."
Yes, Captain!"
A young-looking young man stood up in the crowd and saluted Captain Mackintosh on the other side of the captain's room.During this time, the wind snakes in the distance were closer to us, and I could already clearly see the silver scales on their bodies, a layer of white eyelids wrapped around their eyes, triangular snake heads, round bodies, and not too big fleshy wings, all wrapped in wind circles, each wind snake was almost more than three meters long.There should be more than 20 of these wind snakes, and they have flown hundreds of meters away in a blink of an eye, and finally, this group of wind snakes appeared in people's sight, and when they saw such a large group of flying snakes flying towards the airship, there was a low exclamation from the deck, obviously many people know this kind of monster."
Wind Snake, oh my God, it's Wind Snake!"
In the chaotic crowd, some people know this ferocious demonic beast, these wind monsters are good at speed-type attacks, and some adult elite wind snakes also have wind blade skills, they are good at dodging, tracking, and detecting.Captain Mackintosh stood tall above the captain's quarters, his hands on the railing, his body straight, and shouted to the crowd on deck, "Passengers, be quiet, please be quiet. ”His hoarse voice was so penetrating that it resounded almost throughout the hundred-meter-long deck.When the deck seemed a little calmer, Captain Mackintosh continued: "Please keep order, let my crew push the defensive weapons down to their intended positions, I promise that the Mackintosh will give you the safest security measures, and our crew will do everything in our power to ensure the safety of your lives and property!"
”The deck fell silent for a moment, but then someone began to raise questioning voices.Captain Mackintosh tidied up his captain's attire, straightened the bow tie on his neckline, and then coughed lightly, and said: "I'm Captain Mackintosh, please keep calm, during the battle, the airship will shake violently, it is a very dangerous thing on the deck, please return to your cabin, please return to your cabin, please don't stay on the deck!"
”Apparently the crew on deck didn't buy Captain Mackintosh's arrangement, and everyone just huddled on deck and began to talk about it.Although the wind snake in the distance is getting closer and closer, the people on the deck seem to have forgotten the dangers of the outside world, and instead emphasize that they have absolute freedom!
Someone even stood up from the crowd and pointed to the bridge of Captain Mackintosh's nose and said: "You better forget it, those rebels are not finished yet, and now they have been attacked by wind snakes, you unlucky captain, you are an unlucky person who has been cursed by the gods, why do you still want to be an airship captain and take us all to death?"
Simply unforgivable!
”Captain Mackintosh ignored the young man standing on the barrel questioning him.He spread his hands flat on his chest and continued to speak calmly to the boatmen below, "Ladies and gentlemen, we need a large number of professional archers and shield warriors, and if you have ever served as a defensive warrior in the army, or have been in an archer battalion, I sincerely ask you to join us. ”His gaze scanned the crowd below, and under the gaze of his gaze, the chattering people just now retreated instead, and some of the people who were watching the change had some thoughtful looks on their faces.Captain Mackintosh raised his fist in the air and passionately incited the crew below: "We will fight these wind snakes to the death, so we need true warriors, those who have the courage to fight." ”I couldn't help but secretly sigh that the old captain Mackintosh had done everything he could to keep the whole ship alive, and at this time, I couldn't help but be in awe of the old captain who respected life, and secretly clenched the barrel gun in his hand tighter, and the sailors on the side of the ship paid no attention to what was happening here on the deck, and under the leadership of the first mate, they used a noose to pull the bowstring of the bed crossbow apart, and the three-meter-long, arm-thick crossbow bolt had been installed, and the bed crossbowmen were making the final angle calibration and wind speed calculations.The old captain Mackintosh saw that many people were a little hesitant, so he drew another big pie, and said: "At the same time, I believe that this is also a very rare opportunity, so many second-level magical beasts, I guarantee that I will harvest a large number of magic materials." ”Hearing that the airship was going to match all the loot evenly, there was a low cry of excitement from the crowd, and the enthusiasm of the crowd was ignited at once.At this moment, the old captain still didn't understand how to strike while the iron was hot, and Captain Mackintosh promised: "I promise that the entire crew of the Mackintosh will not privately swallow any Warcraft materials, even a small wind snake bone." ”At this time, I saw the clever second mate, young Comm, standing in the crowd and asking, "Mr.
Captain, can the wind snakes that the crew killed with bed crossbows be included in the list of rewards?"
”I finally knew that the old captain had said so much just to wait for this moment to come.Sure enough, the passengers on the airship were very shameless about the young man's brazen question, and everyone cast disdainful glances at Com.But there is a subtle change on everyone's face, that is, a little hope and greed, in the face of this imminent danger, after experiencing the rebels hijacking the airship for the rest of their lives, the greedy side of human nature is more completely revealed, although many people are not ashamed of the inquiry with Kom, but in their hearts, they also secretly began to have new expectations.Old Captain Mackintosh behaved like strangers to Comm, and I secretly admired in my heart: You guys are really good at acting!
The old captain made a generous statement: "I promise that all the wind snake materials caught will be distributed to everyone here, of course, we will treat them differently according to the amount of contributions they have made in the battle, and we will also use this batch of Warcraft materials to make up for the losses you have suffered on the airship!"
”In the crowd on the deck, there was some commotion again, and in the hearts of everyone on the deck, the impression of the old captain gradually changed a lot.Captain Mackintosh paused slightly, his voice became a little low and hoarse, and he said: "As for me, Captain Mackintosh on this airship, I will be tried by the Imperial Capital Arbitration Council after arriving in the Imperial Capital, and I will bear my share of the guilt!"
”"And now" "We need archers!"
Come and join us. ”"Shield warriors, come to us, our mission is to make sure those archers are not attacked by the wind serpent!"
In the cold spring season, a scorching fire burned on the deck, and the women and children took refuge in the cabins, while the men stayed, and everyone picked up the scimitars left behind by the rebels, and arranged them in a neat formation on the deck, as if in the most basic phalanx in the barracks.The outermost row is a combination of swordsmen and archers with shields and scimitars, and in the second row are warriors with weapons of various lengths and spears.Seeing everyone skillfully line up in formation, I had a special idea for the first time, that is, the system of universal military service in the Green Empire is not without benefits at all!
Finally, I waited for my moment.The thin lines of the void in the sea of spirits once again connected me with the wind snakes flying in the sky, which meant that those wind snakes had entered the range of my silver spear, and in the surprised gaze of Captain Mackintosh, a ball of flame rose in my palm, and then quickly disappeared on the barrel of the silver spear, and the six-pointed star circle under my feet also gathered and dispersed at once.The tongue of fire weapon was blessed on the barrel of the gun, and when the barrel was broken, a projectile engraved with the simplest wind resistance circle was loaded into the chamber of the gun, and the barrel of the gun was closed, and I stood on the deck, holding the gun flat, and when the dotted line in my eyes connected the muzzle of the gun with the head of a wind snake, I did not hesitate to pull the bracket.Bang gunshot.Then there were three whizzing bolts and the whole deck shuddering.The bed crossbow and gun launched the first wave of attacks at the wind snake group almost at the same time.The archers on the deck could only put their feathered arrows on the bowstrings, and they waited in a tense atmosphere for the wind snakes to approach at a rapid pace, and the wind snakes had not yet entered their range.The three giant crossbow arrows made a piercing hissing sound after tearing through the air, and a crackling air explosion sound kept coming from the air, and the arrows of the crossbow arrows had a layer of air shields with naked eye technology, and the tail of the arrows shot towards the wind snake group with a huge air current.
