Chapter 16 Flying Blades
The archer who had been shooting arrows on the pirate ship had come onto the ship at some point.
He aimed directly at Sigurd and shot an arrow.
Somehow, Alka held the sailor knife in his hand and chopped it directly.
Just as the arrow was about to hit Sigurd, a knife chopped the arrow shaft.
At this time, Sigurd had already lowered his body, and with a powerful kick of his legs, he thrust the sailor knife directly into the enemy's stomach.
He pulled it out violently and rolled to the side again.
Dark red blood and a small section of unknown organ flowed out of the wound in the enemy's stomach.
At this time, Alka saw the enemy's arrow again, this time it was aimed at himself.
Alka's action of cutting off his flying arrow with a knife just now made the enemy believe that he was a threat that needed to be dealt with first.
He bent down suddenly and dodged the enemy's arrow at a somewhat exaggerated angle on the unstable deck.
The body's flexibility is astonishing.
A broken blade, which belonged to someone unknown, fell more than a meter away from him.
He suddenly turned around, squatted, and reached out to grab it.
He clamped the broken blade between his index and middle fingers like a card.
Then he aimed at the distance and threw the archer who was on the deck and next to the boat.
call out!
A cold light flew by.
The tip of the blade, which was only the size of a palm, pierced the archer's throat.
The bow and arrow that were being drawn fell to the ground. He covered his neck and knelt on the deck with an expression of disbelief.
"Is it so accurate? Or is it just a coincidence?"
Alka looked at his hands in confusion, how could he fly so accurately?
Although the knowledge transmitted from the bracelet includes magic and combat techniques using magic .
But after all, there has been no actual combat experience, it was just training alone.
When he looked up, he saw Sigurd looking at him in shock.
Then he came to his senses and gave himself a thumbs up.
"pretty!"
The current situation does not allow the two to communicate freely and continue fighting the enemy.
With this actual combat experience, Alka was finally able to stay awake during the battle.
In a short while, the sailors on the ship had killed all the pirates who had climbed up.
Hols held the ancient long knife in his hand, and bright red blood was still dripping from the blade.
"Jump on it! There's no such thing as running away."
As his voice fell.
The crossbow cart, which had been loaded at some point, shot out crossbow arrows again. This time, the crossbow arrows were tied with a thick cable.
Several crossbow arrows penetrated directly into the enemy's ship, and one cable after another was stretched straight.
This restricted enemy ships while also building a path for them.
One by one, the sailors slid down the ropes towards the enemy's ship.
Sieg held Alka and said, "We are not official members of this ship, so there is no need to go down and grab the credit."
"Do I look like I can get down there?"
As he spoke, Alka showed Sigurd his hand holding the knife, which was still shaking slightly.
There was still a trace of blood on the knife, and Alka's face was also stained with a lot of blood.
At this moment, I was breathing heavily, and my own heartbeat was already echoing in my ears.
In addition to killing an enemy archer from a distance by throwing a blade, Alka also used the sailor knife in his hand to kill a pirate personally under the cover of Sigt.
Although I didn't feel nauseous at this moment, I was excited and I didn't know whether it was because of fear or excitement.
Sigurd wiped the blood from his eyes with his sleeve and smiled with a bloody face.
"It's okay. This is just the first step as a man."
"The first step for a man is to kill?"
"If you want to sail on the sea, then of course, the sea is very dangerous."
He said this while staring at Alka seriously.
Aunt Marcy asked her son to take Alka on board the boat just to let him experience the dangers and dangers of the sea.
Let him know what the real ocean is and what real treasure hunters will face on the sea.
This is not some childish treasure hunt game, but a game of seizing wealth through blood and blades.
Let him face the real reality.
Alka nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.
The cool touch rising from the ring accelerated his efforts to calm himself down.
"Don't worry, I won't change that easily."
"Haha, that's good. My brother will be a treasure hunter from now on." As he said this, he put his hand on Alka's shoulder.
Not long after.
The sailors who slid over had already occupied the enemy's pirate ship, tied up the surrendering pirates, took down the black sails, and re-hang the normal white sails.
Pirates usually have two flags. It is impossible for a pirate to always fly the pirate flag.
That's too inconvenient.
The two ships then approached each other, and some sailors boarded the merchant ship with several tied-up pirates.
Although the pirate ship had many large holes in it from the crossbows and cannons on board in the previous battle.
But the entire hull, keel and mast were not damaged.
The damaged parts can be repaired by a carpenter. It just so happens that both merchant ships and pirate ships have wooden boards for repairs.
The first mate came over and spoke beside Halls.
"These are the carpenters , doctors and cooks on the pirate ship."
Looking at the three pirates who were pinned down and kneeling on the deck.
At this time, the ship had started sailing again. Several ropes were tied from the stern to the bow of the pirate ship, and the two ships were moving forward one after the other.
A sailor looked at the pirates' necks, wrists and ankles, then shook his head at the captain.
Halls then looked at them and asked, "Join us as a sailor, or die. Choose one!"
"I'm in. I'm in."
"Don't kill me, I'll join in too."
"I also……"
The three pirates did not hesitate. Halls nodded and asked the first mate to take the three pirates over to sign the contract.
At this time, Sigurd, who was next to Alka, explained:
"Carpenters are indispensable technical talents on a ship and are of high value."
"It's the same with the chef. Even though he may not cook delicious food, he at least knows how to deal with food that is about to go bad. This is unavoidable on a ship."
"As for this pirate doctor, at least he knows something, which is better than nothing."
Hearing this explanation, Alka nodded in understanding.
As for technical talents, it is reasonable that they are more valuable than ordinary people.
Alka looked at the ship behind and the many pirates tied up on it.
"So how are they going to deal with it?"
"I heard there's a bounty on these pirates. I can get some money from them. If not, they can be sold to others for some money."
"This boat is a great haul. It looks pretty good. It can be used for decades after repairs. It must be worth a lot of money."
Hearing this, Alka nodded in understanding .
They really squeezed out all the value. For a moment, I don’t know who is the pirate.
At this time, Halls' voice was heard.
"Alright, alright, this is a big victory. Let the kitchen add some hard dishes tonight. Everyone can drink a little, but don't let me catch anyone drinking too much, or it will be hard to handle."
"Okay, everyone, go back to work. If you are injured, go to the infirmary and get bandaged. If you die, I will pay you a pension."
As the captain gave the order, the entire ship started running quickly again.
Many sailors, under the command of the boatswain, have begun to wipe the bloodstains on the deck.
As for the spoils, they had already been looted and the bodies were all thrown on the pirate ship, which could also be exchanged for some bounty.
The destination is not far away and is expected to arrive tomorrow morning.
