Chapter 46: Revenge Never Waits for an Expiration Date
The water battle in the Magic Planet game is different from the previous games. It will not directly enter the boarding state. There is still a water battle.
On the water battlefield, both sides control their own warships to move. You can use the warship's artillery to bombard each other from a distance; you can get closer and use the ship's long-range fire; you can also rush to the boarding battle under the artillery and bows and arrows.
After boarding, the rules are almost the same as those of land battles.
Now the opponent can't move, and Xiao Ming doesn't know whether the opponent has artillery and long-range, although there are not many soldiers on the deck. Twenty or so are ordinary human pirates, and the highest is only level 2.
Xiao Ming drove the boat closer and tried with long-range bows and arrows. After all the pirates on the deck were eliminated. When Xiao Ming wanted to approach and occupy the ship to harvest the spoils, Katagiri Qieyuan stopped him.
As a genuine undead zombie, Katagiri could feel that there were still many living beings on that ship. This is a trap.
Xiao Ming was horrified and broke out in a cold sweat. (Skeleton sweating?)
I am still a loser in essence. Faced with this situation, even if no one reminds him, a normal commander should be careful, right?
Xiao Ming immediately stopped the warship from moving forward and fired arrows collectively, hoping to completely destroy the ship with arrows. ——I'll drown you. Xiao Ming secretly held his breath.
After continuing to attack for a long time, the other side probably saw that the informant could not be fooled. A large group of pirates rushed to the deck.
Some of them shot with bows, and other groups of pirates jumped into the water and swam frantically towards the warship of the informant.
The most terrifying thing was that several pirates on the deck peeled off some camouflage, revealing three small cannons.
Damn! Referee, he fouled!
Xiao Ming was scared, this is not just a trap, this is a big pit!
Run away quickly, and the warship retreated quickly. At the same time, the skeleton soldiers used strong crossbows to shoot with all their strength, forcing back those pirates who were still swimming hard without giving up...
It was not until the warship of the informant withdrew from the battlefield far away that the pirates swam back reluctantly, and some were so tired that they needed help from others to swim back. Some of them sank directly to the bottom.
After checking the damage, Xiao Ming felt much better.
Because the enemy didn't have time to fire, his ship was not hit. In the end, he was hit by dozens of arrows, but there was almost no damage.
When the enemy attacked in large numbers, some of the troops were shot dead. But because they had eliminated more than 20 pirates as bait before. Many were shot dead during the retreat, mainly because many of them were drowned after being shot.
So after the battle, the troops who were summoned back barely made up for the loss. The combat effectiveness did not decrease too much.
As the saying goes, "A gentleman's revenge is never too late." Xiao Ming is not a gentleman, Xiao Ming... just a loser.
Xiao Ming really didn't want revenge, he thought that an anchored ship appeared on the 0-1 level map, this is an opportunity.
Although the pirates are strong, at least more than 200. The ship is at least a mid-level ship, much larger than the ship of the deceased.
But the pirates must find a way, and they will definitely be finished if they continue to waste. The pirates are not repairing the ship, probably because the conditions do not allow it.
The opponent's trap was not successful, so they stopped camouflaging. A large number of pirates were busy scooping out water to try to prevent the ship from sinking further.
I don't know how long they have been holding on like this, and I don't know how long they can hold on.
It seems that some pirates are shouting at the ship of the informant, but the informant ran too far away and couldn't hear it.
Xiao Ming analyzed it according to the ideas in the game: This is obviously an event, or a task.
It is estimated that it is impossible to consume them until they die and then the player will take advantage. In that case, just put resources on the water. So the player must do something.
If nothing is done, the system should not arrange for the pirates to disappear. It is estimated that at a certain node, the ship will be repaired and attack the funnel village.
What the player should do is to deepen the opponent's crisis and force the opponent to surrender or reach some agreement. This definitely depends on the extent of the player's ability.
So what can you do now?
Step up the construction of the city, accumulate troops, and prepare for the city defense battle? That's too conservative.
Fight more, rely on summoning souls to improve military strength, and then deal with the pirates. That's a way. Xiao Ming's cheating amulet of the dead will definitely work.
But Xiao Ming thinks there should be a faster way. He has a cheat code.
Harassment tactics? This is possible. But the enemy has a cannon, which has a longer range than the crossbow skeleton soldiers.
Simply harassing the enemy in this way is dangerous and inefficient.
It will definitely work. After all, I have supplies from the rear. It is estimated that it is possible to wear the enemy to death.
To be on the safe side, I still have to give myself a little bargaining chip. The cheat code must be used.
Xiao Ming started to try to make a cannon, but found that he couldn't do it. Although he knew the principle, it might be because he didn't have gunpowder. He tried to make it with super powers, but it didn't work.
Suddenly, a light bulb flashed in his mind: Hey! Cannons don't work, we can make crossbows. The train of thought opened up at once.
In fact, if it is real, the materials are still insufficient. Xiao Ming doesn't have tendons and glue.
It's not so strict in the game. As a researcher of alchemy, he has never seen materials such as tendons and glue.
Maybe it is not set in the game, or at least it is not used at low levels.
Xiao Ming finally made a bone trebuchet. Because crossbows are difficult to make, made of wood and bone, not only are their lethality limited, but they may also send materials to the opponent.
The trebuchet is to throw stones, which is the most effective. It is a waste of ore resources.
Only one catapult can be placed on the ship of the deceased, and the direction of the stone throwing is chosen to be straight ahead, which is to maintain the balance of the warship.
One unit of ore resources can make 100 stone bullets. Enough.
After preparation, try to throw a few times. Judge the distance.
The warship moves sideways until it can just hit the pirate ship. One stone bullet after another is thrown at the pirate ship continuously.
Because it is more fun, after playing the deceased twice, both generals came to play, and even the plot character vampire strongly requested to play twice.
It is impossible to avoid the eyes of subordinates when using superpowers. The vampire also saw it. Xiao Ming was angry and did not consider this.
If he had considered it, he might not do this now, but finish the vampire's task and then go back to the city to make a catapult.
Although the vampire saw it, he didn't care. He just thought that the deceased had a secondary profession of craftsman and didn't think too much.
For Xiao Ming, it is better to be careful.
As the proficiency of several NPCs increased, the stones were thrown more and more accurately. The most accurate one was the vampire.
Maybe it was because he often flew, so he had a deeper understanding of parabolas.
The damage caused by the stones became more and more serious, and the enemy's hull gradually disintegrated. The pirates were driven crazy.
When the bows and cannons could not hit the dead, they even directly killed some pirates and used the corpses as the foundation to raise the cannons and archers. I hope they can shoot farther.
But the distance is still too far, and there is no hope of success.
This time, victory finally came to the dead.
