Chapter 9 Night Battle
A huge three-wheeled sailing ship emerged from the darkness beside the warship, with a flag fluttering at the top of its mast. Through the moonlight, one could vaguely see the skull pattern painted on it.
As soon as the pirates gathered on the deck, a dazzling light shone down, illuminating the entire ship.
The pirate captain showed no signs of nervousness at having his whereabouts exposed. He raised his left shoulder, and the prosthetic arm below his elbow, made of large scissors, gleamed with a chilling light!
"Men! Go after them! Those sailors just went through a fierce battle during the day, they're no match for us now! Our chance to make a name for ourselves has arrived!"
"Awoooooo! Kill!!"
Colonel Linde put away his binoculars; his face was barely brighter than the surrounding darkness.
It's the Scissors Pirates of "Scissors Hand" Eloute Mede!
They actually attacked at this time!
The situation was urgent, leaving him no time to consider, and he immediately gave the order:
"Sound the alarm! Assemble the entire army! Prepare for battle!"
"Artillery crews, don't hold back on ammunition! Fire hard!"
The artillery captain who received the order looked distressed. After a day of depletion, there was little ammunition left in the ammunition room, and with visibility obstructed at night, it was almost impossible to sink the pirate ship before it got close.
As Yelena walked out of the restaurant, she was greeted by the busy and exhausted figures of the combat team.
"Miss Yelena, we need your help!"
Upon seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Colonel Linde's eyes lit up. His injuries were too severe, making it difficult for him to exert his full strength in the upcoming battles. At this moment, he needed a strong leader who could stabilize the morale of the troops.
Yelena chuckled dryly, her face showing no excitement at being entrusted with such an important task, only a feeling of utter misfortune.
She's only just boarded the warship; she hasn't even finished her dinner!
I was attacked by pirates twice in one day. My luck was absolutely terrible!
However, she also knew that now was not the time to complain. She had already boarded the "pirate ship," and it was unlikely that she could get off now.
"Get me two, no, three one-handed swords, and two pistols too!"
The Navy needed her help, and Yelena made her request without any hesitation.
The greatsword she wields is tough, sharp, and stylish, but it's too heavy! For her now, it's fine to wield and play around with, but it's not suitable for high-intensity combat.
"Okay, thank you!"
Colonel Linde didn't delay and immediately ordered his men to bring over what Yelena wanted.
Bang!Bang!
Flames kept appearing on the sea surface, and bullets and shells flew everywhere.
Bathed in the interplay of moonlight and lamplight, Yelena hid behind the bulkhead, not daring to show her face.
Her marksmanship was terrible, and not wanting to waste bullets, she could only hide here to conserve her energy and prepare for the upcoming boarding action.
"fire!!"
With the hoarse voice of the artillery captain, the last shell successfully hit the target, and flames shot into the sky!
But before a smile could even appear on his face, the pirate ship suddenly accelerated and rammed into the warship!
Bang! !
The scissor-shaped bow pierced through the warship's bulwark, tightly joining the two ships together!
"Destroy the pirates!"
"Take down these marines!"
Two groups of people, who were like oil and water, clashed and the smell of blood filled the sea.
The leader of the pirates was a tall, thin young man with messy hair. As soon as he stepped onto the deck of the warship, he set his sights on Colonel Linde.
"Killing you will definitely increase the bounty. Then let's see if that bastard 'Iron Axe' will still dare to look down on me!"
Yelena had just killed a pirate who was excitedly charging towards her when she heard this man's words, and her expression immediately turned speechless.
These days, pirates' pursuits are really simple and clear: they're even willing to risk their lives to increase their infamy.
Yelena thought that the pirates were gambling with their lives by attacking the warship, but the pirates felt that they had gotten a great deal.
"Hahaha! Is this all the strength a dignified naval captain has? Surrender already, and I'll make your death easier!"
Elotte Mead's scissors swung faster and faster, almost leaving afterimages, forcing Colonel Lind into a retreat!
This scene looks so familiar. Why do you always seem to be getting the short end of the stick, Colonel?
Could it be that military ranks were bought with money?
If Colonel Linde could hear the thoughts of those around him, especially Yelena's, he would surely have burst into a tirade:
Don't look down on people!
Without these injuries, would I be unable to defeat him?
At the very least, it should end in a draw!
No matter how frustrated the colonel felt, he had no choice but to take on the heavy responsibility of holding off the pirate captain and preventing this dangerous individual from attacking his subordinates!
laugh!
Yelena pulled her longsword from the pirate's heart and then stabbed him in the neck to ensure he was completely out of the running.
In just one day, her methods of killing became increasingly sophisticated.
However, Yelena didn't have time to dwell on it, as the next enemy was already upon her!
clang!
The sword strike failed to injure the target as expected; instead, it was blocked by the opponent.
Feeling the recoil from the sword, Yelena's expression changed slightly; this guy was quite strong!
"Heh heh, you killed so many brothers, don't think I'll let you off easily!"
The bald, burly man raised an iron bar and smashed it down on Yelena's head! "Die!"
The blow was powerful and heavy. Yelena dared not confront the enemy head-on. She quickly dodged to the side and swung her sword at the enemy's calf!
Bang!
The iron bar left a hole in the warship's deck, while the chipped blade got stuck hard in the strong man's leg bone!
"Ah!" The burly man lost his balance and fell to his knees on one knee.
Yelena shook her head slightly. She wasn't strong enough; otherwise, she could have cut off one of the opponent's legs with this sword strike!
Ignoring the pain in his leg, the burly man picked up the iron bar and tried to continue his attack, but Yelena gave him no chance. She drew another sword from her waist and pierced his neck from the side!
Twist your wrist hard!
The iron bar fell from the burly man's hand, and he clutched his neck, his eyes wide with disbelief as he slammed it onto the deck!
Didn't the boss say he was here to get a bargain? How did this happen?
"First Mate!!"
The younger brother's exclamation pulled Elotte Mead back from his extreme excitement. He swept his opponent away with a scissor, turned around, and found his second-in-command lying in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open!
His first reaction was not to grieve for his men, but other thoughts popped into his head: besides Colonel Lind, were there other strong men in the navy?
This contradicts the intelligence we received earlier!
His gaze swept quickly around the burly man, finally settling on the nearest female swordsman. It was her!
Just this one petite girl?
He wasn't even as tall as the first mate's chest!
He watched as the girl left her spot and plunged into the pirate group.
The sharp blade, gleaming coldly in the moonlight, sent up a cloud of blood mist with every swing, and in the blink of an eye, several more of his men were lost!
Med's pupils suddenly contracted. Where did this person come from?!
Just as he was about to go and meet the other party, he suddenly heard a noise behind him. Med swung his hand back and the sharp scissors cut through Colonel Linde's bandages, leaving a bloody gash on his waist and abdomen.
"Damn it, I miscalculated! Looks like I need to kill you as soon as possible, and then slaughter that guy!"
