Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 189: Battered!
hu——

wings engulfed the airflow and swept the clouds and mist, two eagles on the indigenous pirate side and two formations on the Iwen side, a total of six iron-feathered frigatebirds broke through the mist and flew over the "Conch".
Almost at the same time, the "air forces" of both sides entered the arena collectively!
Before, there was white mist blocking the line of sight. With the sharp gaze of "Eagle Warrior" Karawusu did not notice that in addition to the giant eagle he was raising, there were six unusually huge frigatebirds in the sky!
Their appearance is obviously the result of some kind of witchcraft transformation. Although they are slightly smaller than their own McKinley Condor, the total of the six is definitely not to be underestimated.
唳!
喳喳喳...
No need for the owner's continued command, the "air forces" entering the arena from both sides have spontaneously tangled together, circling and flapping over the "Conch". Broken feathers and blood fell from time to time in the birdsong.
Some of them belonged to the McKinley Condor, and some belonged to the frigate bird... the battle situation was evenly matched, and even the giant eagle was slightly at a disadvantage.
The last foreign aid was cancelled out, and Karawusu's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
suddenly.
boom——! ! !
A loud noise from a distance made his heart chuckle again, and the icy chill penetrated into his bones!
At this time, the sea seems to be shaking.
A blood-colored phantom that barely maintained the shape of an eagle cut through the fog, and plunged into his body under the guidance of the blood of the same race, along with the wizard's last command: "Vengeance!!!!!" !"
"Hahaha, the pirate ship’s ammunition compartment has exploded! The ‘scorching bomb’ really works!"
An excited shout from a young voice came from the boat.
Then came the collective cheers of the sailors.
"Long live!"
"....."
"Blow up?!!!"
I couldn't even care about being on the battlefield. The young chief mate suddenly turned and looked in the direction of the "Spirit of the Eagle". At this moment, his eyes seemed to penetrate the mist.
He saw the pirate ship that was slowly overturning in flames, the wizard Aklava who was buried with the pirate ship, and the last tribe recognized by the spirit of the eagle. I’ve come to my shattered dream...
"Nothing... is gone!"
"Vengeance!!!" The wizard's command took root in his heart, and it instantly grew into an evil tree full of thorns and venom.
Karawusu's eyes turned red in an instant, and the black tattoo on her body was constantly twisting as if she was about to come back to life.
At this moment, what are the side effects of overuse of abilities, what is the beloved giant eagle that is already at a disadvantage, what is in the dangerous situation of being in the enemy's ranks on all sides... everything is no longer important.
The bone daggers in his hand crossed across the shoulder bones on both sides of the back, and the blood shot!
刺啦——
A pair of huge red and yellow deformed wings torn and stretched out, and the strong wind pressure blew all the sailors near him.
There is no doubt that he... is out of control!
The loss of control of the "Eagle Warrior" is obviously far more terrifying than the extraordinary in the path of the knight.
The face that was originally handsome from the eyes of the natives gradually deformed and elongated into a half-human, half-eagle head. The alienated joint of the right foot reflexed and turned into an eagle claw.
There are hollow bones under the ribs that pierce the flesh and grow out like deformed hyperplastic tissue, strange and disgusting.
In a very short time, he has become a monster, like a combination of half an eagle and half a person!
Without knowing anything, he withdrew his gaze into the distance, and the young "True Eagle Warrior" turned and glared at the "culprit" who caused all this: the captain of this navy warship!
唳——
"Eagleman" made a hoarse, high-pitched eagle cry, and raised his arms holding a bone dagger...
bang——
bang! boom!
fired three shots in a row, and Ivan lightly blew the gun smoke that did not exist at the muzzle of the "thorn gold rose", and spit out: "It's finished!"
嘭——
The "eagle man" with a big hole in his chest collapsed into the ground with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
But, how can you be allowed to pose for memory killing on the battlefield?
Karawusu was not sniped in the first cross-sea raid because Ivan was caught by the poisonous bee, and after temporarily leaving the battle group and re-distinguishing from Ivan, his life was actually involuntary. He himself.
's "transformation" effort has been seized by Ivan to disconnect the gun, and he also rewarded the two giant eagles that had been wounded in the air battle with a bullet each, and sent them to reunite with their masters.
"Milan, lift the fog!"
Actually, both Aiwen and Milan were ready to face a formal wizard at the beginning, but they benefited from the smooth execution of the battle plan.
except for the accidental intrusion by this native supernatural being. They didn't face the possible weird methods of the native wizard from beginning to end, huh...in fact, they didn't want to see it at all.
After the pirate ship explosion, the number of pirates "fortunately" surviving was extremely small, but then they were culled one by one by sailors who arrived in a long boat.
Because the ships of this era are all wood, they have good sink resistance.
Although the pirate ship was left with a large piece of charred wreck because of the ammunition exploded, until the "Conch" approached, it was still firmly floating on the surface of the sea.
When sailors were sent to board the wreck to inspect, no accidents happened. However, the trophies collected are not unexpected and not much.
A big bang almost wiped out everything!
Regarding this, Ivan doesn’t feel distressed either. After all, it’s already a battle with zero casualties. What can I expect?
"Your Captain, can this work?"
Fleck took the lead to climb to the wreckage of the pirate ship in spite of the danger and searched for all the warfare items, and was also the last one to return. He brought back a piece of the scorched main sail of the pirate ship, with part of an abstract silver eagle still remaining on the black sail.
is the place where the [Guardian of the Eagle Soul] held by the indigenous wizard Aklava once lived.
"Thanks, Flake!" Encouraging the very positive and motivated recruits, Ivan handed the canvas to Milan. Although the battle has been won, he is most concerned about the life and death of the wizard Aklava as the captain of the pirate.
After a while, Milan, who used canvas as a medium for divination, opened his eyes again and said with a smile:
"Good luck, he should have been directly affected by the big explosion when the ammunition depot exploded, confirm the kill!"
"Not bad! Not bad! I won the first battle, today I have an extra meal!"
"Long live the captain!"
Amidst the cheers of the crew, Ivan has turned around and returned to the captain’s room with Milan, took out a very old animal skin from his pocket, and gently rubbed it in his hand:
"The harvest of "Eagle Warrior Training Method" is not bad!"
This is a battle item obtained from the young warrior who broke into the "Conch", because the mysterious source of this world all comes from the "spiritual sun", although the continents are blocked by the vast sea, but the extraordinary text The same with little difference.
This "Eagle Warrior Training Method" is also written in a variant of "spiritual text".
The physical training and the taming of giant eagles are very primitive, and I won't be in the eyes of Aiwen, but the method of drawing on the power of animal spirits with tattoos makes Aiwen very interested.
Although it seems to have some flaws, it may not be a useful supplement for the Extraordinary Knight.
I just discussed the possible application of this "Eagle Warrior Training Method" with Milan, who is also a wizard, and the door of the captain's room was knocked.
咚..咚..咚..
"Come in."
"Report to the Captain, our ammunition reserves are already less than half, do you think?"
At this time, the first mate Borg, who was in charge of the ship's logistics, knocked on the door and came in and reported the loss of supplies after the battle. Everything else is fine, but today's practice of dumping ammunition as much as possible has already made ammunition reserves in a hurry and can no longer support another battle at the same level.
After listening to the report of the chief mate, Ivan also felt that this problem must be resolved as soon as possible, so he turned his attention to Milan:
"Mr. Nautical Officer, I remember that the naval base closest to our location is in Saint Martin, right?"
Saint Martin.
is a naval base controlled by the Tulip Duchy in the Alliance.
In fact, the name "Tulip Alliance" came from this. Although it is only a principality, it has a very special status in the alliance.
Because it is called "Tulip Principality", it is better to call it "Tulip Religious Country". As the headquarters of the Black Iron Cross Church that all countries of the alliance believe in, the Pope automatically crowns "The Grand Duke of Tulip~IndoMTL.com~ as both a herder of faith and a secular ruler.
But the base ownership is temporarily put aside.
Because all ships of this era are made of wood, when sailing for a long time at sea, the hull is continuously corroded by sea water and parasites, and the underwater parts are easily corroded. The baptism of the storm and the force of the artillery will also loosen the structural frame of the warship, so the ship must be docked on the dock regularly for major repairs.
Otherwise, let the wood loose and corrode, and the life of the whole ship will be reduced. Eventually, it may not be able to withstand the test of the storm, and it may capsize during a long voyage.
On the other hand, if a wooden sailboat is carefully constructed and regularly maintained, it can generally survive 50 years easily.
So for a fleet, it is very important to have a sufficient number of dry docks for regular maintenance of its warships.
The naval bases of various countries are often built with docks as the core, so that the base can provide a safe berth for the fleet, provide rest and medical facilities for seafarers, and so on.
The navy can also obtain canvas, rigging, decks, masts, guns, ammunition, food, fresh water, and personnel supplements in the naval base, and it can maintain its full combat effectiveness even if it is far away from the mainland.
Therefore, within the territorial waters of the Tulip Alliance, along the main routes, there are large and small naval bases like a pearl chain, which are operated by various countries but are used by the alliance.
While reducing operating costs, it has also greatly expanded the combat radius of the alliance’s internal navy, and of course this naval base on the island of St. Maarten is the same.
Although "Conch" belongs to the Kingdom of Falettis, it is also eligible to use it!
