Late at night, the sea is quiet.
There is no wind in the bay of Biscay tonight. The calm sea surface is as clear as a mirror. The sea and sky are the same color relative to two bright moons. It is so beautiful that people are intoxicated and obsessed.
Lorraine remained in the bow.
He closed his eyes, bent his legs, hummed an unknown minor, and leaned against Scott's crossbow.
The main arrow of the connecting cable on the crossbow has been removed. Now it is placed together with the spare arrow of the non connecting cable and is neatly listed next to the crossbow.
The crew are ready, too.
Big Karen was fidgeting and pacing on the main deck with his big hammer on his back and his newly bought broken axe pinned to his waist.
Haina stayed on the high lookout platform, her emerald eyes looked at the land, motionless and shaped like a sculpture.
At dinner, Lorraine announced to the crew that there would be a battle tonight. The opponents of the battle were the Roma, with an uncertain number and unknown combat effectiveness. He also locked pierce and Noah into the stern cabin on this ground.
Pierce was a little resistant to being alone with a witch, but as an English gentleman, he could neither oppose the captain's order nor refuse to protect the lady.
So there will be no mops on the deck tonight.
The party waited quietly or restlessly for nearly three hours. Towards ten o'clock, Haina jumped down with the sail cable and swung to Lorraine.
Lorraine slowly opened his eyes: "coming?"
"Five boats, soon offshore, four fast and one slow."
"It seems that Noah's three cousins are not as united as they seem."
Lorraine patted her ass and stood up, gesturing to Karen. Karen's footsteps suddenly stung. His first reaction was... Took out the cross on his neck, lit it outside his clothes, and then began to pray loudly.
Haina frowned, glanced at him and whispered to Lorraine, "do you think he and Noah can get along well?"
"He is an enlightened believer, but he is not used to new partners. He will be fine in two days."
"Really?"
"Yes, because he can't find a better captain than me." Lorraine tied up the leather rope hanging the knife and smiled. "You don't understand white people. If he can give up his salary, nothing in the world can stop him from staying on this ship."
They whispered a joke, and finally there was a trace of the boat at the end of the eye.
The bow of the beauty was facing the land. First one appeared in the front of the bow, and then one appeared in the East. Soon two more appeared, and then the last one.
Karen's prayer is over.
He strode onto the bow deck, his eyes showing perseverance, like a blessed saint.
He said in a deep voice, "Captain, there are only two boats at the firing angle of the fishing fork gun."
"I see..." Lorraine clicked to open the noose, and Karen leaned down and pressed the arrow.
Nearly 300 meters apart, Lorraine pushed the turntable to aim at the small boat at the edge of the firing angle, and did not hesitate to excite with one arrow.
A long buzz!
The huge fishing fork shot out from the bow of the beauty like an electric light, hit the bow raised by the small boat with a bang, directly smashed the board, and almost blew a third of the ship to pieces.
The boat began to sink, screamed in the night sky, the Roma on the boat dived in panic, and the boat at the bow began to turn, hoping to escape the range of the fishing fork gun.
Lorraine pulled the noose open again.
Second arrow, fire!
There was a loud bang. The boat eager to escape was facing the crossbow and was blasted in two by Lorraine. Two Roma were hit by the crossbow arrow and smashed into debris, and their blood fainted and stained a large area of the ocean.
In the terrible scream, Haina quickly reported the count, two crossbows and arrows, two people died, and 14 people fell into the water.
Lorraine let go of the crossbow and took off his boots on the side of the ship: "Hannah, you and Karen are here to deal with the other two boats. Remember to kill fewer people."
Haina gave a gentle hum.
Karen said in surprise, "Captain, are you going into the water?"
"This battle is not just to repel the devil, my dear Karen." Lorraine's hand held high. "Haina and I planned for three days for this kidnapping."
With a long smile, Lorraine jumped out high and dived into the calm sea of Biscay Bay like a swimming fish.
Poop!
……
The Roma boarded the ship.
Centuries of wandering not only enabled every Roma to be good at singing and dancing, warm and cheerful, but also made them accustomed to discrimination and persecution and calmly ignore accidents and deaths.
This is a kind of bravery different from the Vikings, but the result is no different.
Lorraine's excessively accurate crossbow did not scare them away. The two small boats outside the firing angle still quickly approached the beauty moored on the sea.
They threw the prepared hook and rope, climbed up from the sides of the ship, and each showed agility.
Karen's hatchet cut only two hooks, and Roma with short swords boarded the deck. He can only regret to give up the action of cutting the rope and untie the sledgehammer to deal with the attack of the enemy.
Haina, who defended starboard, was much easier.
She has eight red velvet throwing knives. If Lorraine doesn't prohibit her from killing, she can nail all the enemies on the boat when the boat approaches.
And now
Considering that such a handy throwing knife can only be added in Stavanger, she suddenly felt that Lorraine's real intention of not letting her kill was to put her opponent on the deck to facilitate the recovery of subsequent throwing knives.
She thought Lorraine was very considerate.
Haina was very happy, glanced at Karen's war situation, determined that the boatman was not at risk of injury, and waited for all her opponents to get on board.
The Roma who were good at singing and dancing did not disappoint her. After a while, eight people climbed up the deck together, formed an arc in front of her, waved short swords and approached carefully.
Hannah turned into a top.
Under the peony like smock in full bloom, eight streamers shot out in one breath, which pierced the feet of all eight opponents.
The Roma fell down screaming.
She didn't pay attention to the immediate results. After throwing her Throwing Knife, she turned and killed Karen's regiment
Lorraine wandered in the shallow sea like a flying fish.
The double sabres are drawn out of the scabbard and held horizontally on both sides of the body. They are the broad pectoral fins of flying fish. The legs swing and the soles of the feet are slow and powerful. They are the fork shaped tail fins of flying fish.
But flying fish like to jump out of the water and glide in the air, while Lorraine is only underwater, less than one meter from the water, and doesn't even need to float up for air.
He skimmed over the drowning Roma, dived violently, crossed under his disorderly feet like a ghost, and soon approached the small boat farthest from the battlefield, floating slowly at the bottom of the boat.
This is a standard small river crossing wooden boat. It belongs to the same system as the small boat used as a submachine on the beauty. It is 5 meters long and 1.5 meters wide. It is slender as a whole, with a pointed head and a wide tail.
Lorraine put away his knife, opened his big hand and gently hugged the boat. Then his arm began to shake.
WOW!
WOW!
His shaking became more and more violent, and the people on board began to fall into the water.
The first one who fell into the water was a young Roma woman. When she saw Lorraine underwater, she stared in horror and vomited a lot of bubbles.
The second man and the third man fell into the water one after another, including a man.
Lorraine opened his mouth, made a smiling face, turned over, drew a knife and kicked on one side of the bottom of the boat.
The shaking was more violent than any previous one, and two people fell into the water at once.
They saw a ghost under the water, carrying a long knife and gently stabbing it into the man's belly.
Bubbles mixed with blood gushed out. Lorraine raised his feet, kicked him away, led the knife and swam to the second man in the wate
