Chapter 5 Vikings [2]
The Viking Warship was named Storm. The bow and the deck have been transformed by the craftsmen of the Great Earth. They are strong and fire-resistant, with a thick layer of fireproof paint and several rows of abrupt bubble nails, which look thick and tough.
"Full left rudder! Go to the northwest!"
The chart is provided by the Plangley family. This is the latest northern chart. The value at sea is at least comparable to a fleet of ten large ships. And it's the kind full of goods. There is no chart in sailing, it's just an adventure. Boss Ma is not willing to take any risks.
"There should be a lot of pirate ships in this area." Boss Ma frowned. His ship is definitely the only one in the world. From the outside, it is no different from the ordinary old Viking warship. But the internal structure is much more complicated.
Jiji took people to transform the power system, and the internal oars are connected together with a mechanical structure, so that if the rowers work together in the cabin, the power will be stronger and much less. It is very important for sailing ships.
To the north of the Baltic Sea is the Portinha Bay, which belongs to the territory of the Kingdom of Fairland. Guarding the eastern port of the whole Baltic Sea was a great trouble for the Slavic Empire.
The Slavs were poor for twelve generations and did not take control of this sea area. Instead, they were repeatedly defeated. In addition to the reason why the Slavs were not good at naval warfare, more importantly, there were too many pirate ships here.
The first king of the Fairland Kingdom started with a pirate ship, and his tough life did not need a reason. Therefore, after the founding of the country, instead of suppressing pirates, he allowed this force to breed there. However, the pirates in Portinia Bay never plundered the property of the Kingdom of Philland.
The goal of pirates is always to stay in the rich countries in the south.
And the Vikings are just servants of the Philland Kingdom, or the expelled sea wolf hounds.
"The port of Vasa, the only unfrozen port in the Kingdom of Philland, it seems that pirate ships should be traded ashore from here. It is really amazing that a country supports the cause of piracy. However, their good luck should be the end. Boss Ma sneered, spread out the chart, and looked carefully at the chart, as if he was deciding something.
The sailors who changed shifts in the early morning slept one after another. The strong Vikings had rich experience in survival at sea. These soldiers looked at the movement on the sea from afar.
The watchtower is equipped with a crystal telescope, which can exceed three to five times the eyesight of ordinary people, which is far away.
"Captain! Two big ships were found!" The news came from the watchtower. Boss Ma sneered and said to himself: Sure enough, it appeared.
This Viking warship was dressed as a merchant ship of the Kingdom of Latvia. It has a strong style of Riga's capital, a round port, wrapped in a faint metal color, and has a rich feeling in the old days.
"It's a pirate ship!" From the telescope, the lookout had seen the tough pirate leader standing on the other side's bow. Wearing a black waterproof hat, a beard, wearing an ordinary ragged coat, the chest hair is exposed, and he looks fierce.
It's just this kind of person. It seems that you can find any one on the whole ship.
The speed of Storm is extremely fast, but Boss Ma still ordered people to slow down. This feeling is exciting and exciting. Judging from the other party's actions, the two ships should be a powerful pirate team, which is likely to have been ordered by the king of the Kingdom of Fairland.
This kind of plundering was also popular in the early days of the Roma Empire, but now this empire is touted civilization and civilization, how can it continue to be like barbarians?
"Hmm, it seems that they are indeed coming for us." Boss Ma also saw the other party's ship on the bow. He did not slow down at all and rushed here at full speed. Mr. Ma made a diagonal angle, so that the ship's speed slowed down was very obvious. At first glance, he was seen by the pirate ship behind and thought it was a panic.
Perhaps it was to see the ship on this side slowing down, and the two pirate ships behind immediately became excited. The howling sound came with the wind. Boss Ma smiled coldly and shouted, "Push out the magic crystal cannon!"
Hearing this order, the Viking sailors changed their faces. They had already felt the power of this weapon in the Tamsalu army. Although it has never shown its power in a formal war, every drill will make the vast majority of strong soldiers feel this destructive weapon.
It is absolutely shocking.
The creaking sound came, and the magic crystal cannon was pushed onto the deck, and the thick bubble nails on the deck were obviously reinforced by the magician with the magic array. The effect of blessing is that their endurance is stronger, so that the deck will not be bombarded in the end because the back seat of the magic crystal cannon is too large.
After about two minutes, the two pirate ships surrounded the Storm as if they were joking. The pirates in vulgar clothes laughed there, waved their weapons topless and screamed. However, when it was getting closer and closer, I saw that the sailors on the Storm were all strong Vikings.
The cold tomahawk, huge long bow, and a strong warrior made the other party's laughter stop abruptly.
It's like a feeling of laughing loudly, but being removed from the chin.
"Who is the person opposite? We are the first brigade of the sea buffalo bath!"
The other party was afraid of encountering the same strong pirate team, so he took the lead in applying for the name. If the other party is just a nobody, then let the insult go. If the other party is a famous large pirate group, then try it again before you can pass. If the other party is just an ignorant caravan, then I'm sorry, this is a fat sheep.
However, it is obvious that things are beyond people's expectations. Boss Ma just walked out of the captain's room and walked to the deck, wearing a double flip-flop, holding a long knife in his hand, and coldly gave the order: "Fire!"
Boss Ma just wants to know to what extent the power of this magic crystal cannon can be exerted in the naval battle.
Soon, he became very gratified.
The pirates didn't wait for an answer. In the eyes of Boss Ma, it was simply scum. Even the emperor of the Roma Empire can disdain it. What else can't be let go?
Boom! The magic crystal cannon with huge recital force made a crashing and harsh sound on the bubble nail, which made people goose bumps all over. But the amazing magic crystal cannon showed its great power in Ocean Mountain for the first time.
This is the huge power of the fire magic crystal cannon improved by Christian, which is not what ordinary people can imagine at all.
Because in order to increase the life of the warship, Christian laughed at the power of this magic crystal cannon at the request of Boss Ma, so the damage to the warship is actually very small. Coupled with the cooperation of Jiji, a great-seddys craftsman, it is really a very difficult project for more than 40 great-seddys craftsman to carve these magic arrays in the ship.
It's just that all this is worth it.
Even if Boss Ma took out 400,000 gold coins to complete the equipment of a warship, he would be willing to pay such a cost.
After all, as long as a ship can trade three times, it can earn money for the modification of a ship.
The profiteering of marine trade does not seem to be really recognized by people in this era. And those narrow-minded traders are always staring at somewhere and trading there. But I don't know how to summarize all this into a system.
But it is precisely because these have not been fully developed that it has become an opportunity for Boss Ma.
From the barrel of the fire magic crystal cannon, a fire dragon spews out. A pillar of fire instantly crushed a pirate ship on the left wing, and was broken in the middle. There were more than 100 pirates who killed the scum on the spot. This is a medium-sized ship with 400 people, but it was easily destroyed by a pillar of fire. The effect was so good that Boss Ma was also slightly surprised.
Unfortunately, the cooling time of the magic crystal cannon is very long. Although there is seawater forced to cool there, it cannot be cooled down quickly. This may also be its only problem. The lifespan of such a barrel is about 120 shells. After exceeding this number, it may explode at any time.
But for Boss Ma, it's enough.
What's more, Christian and Weber are still studying how to extend the life of the barrel, so Boss Ma doesn't care about the high cost investment at this time. After all, the reward is also obvious.
There are six magic crystal cannons on the Storm, but since the other side's military advantage has been disintegrated, they are all elite Boss Ma, and they have not continued to waste at all.
"Guys! Short-term soldiers meet each other!"
The horse boss, who was in the lead, lamented his right wing and stepped on the port of the ship, and the long knife pointed far away, which was extremely fierce.
Hundreds of Viking men behind him screamed, revealing strong muscles and strong arms.
The tomahawk is in hand, and it is murderous.
The right-wing pirate ship has not figured out the situation, and there is a Storm in the middle. They don't know what happened in the loud noise just now. But soon they were surprised and puzzled to find that the opposite boat was going to be short-circuited and fight with them!
"Hahahaha... these stupid guys! Let them see how powerful the manatee Bass is!"
The screaming pirates are also happy. It seems that they have won, but soon they are a little confused about the situation.
The person opposite doesn't seem to be a good stubble!
