Soon the boat mercenaries were killed by all, the orcs have a deep hatred for humans, but all the shots absolutely do not leave any survivors, originally Carlos also wanted to leave a leader, as a blackmail, so that the other boat mercenaries are jealous of it!
Now seeing how hard they hit, Carlos had to give up on the idea, and with the orc warriors fighting their way through, the control of the ship was now completely under Carlos' control.
In the meantime.
"Reporting to Captain Sheridan, those orcs robbed Captain Derian's ship!"
An ordinary young mercenary bowed and said towards a tall middle-aged man.
"That idiot Derian, he dared to board the transportation ship without checking the situation on board, if this batch of goods can't be transported to the Wanyu Auction House in one piece, our mercenary corps is going to be in big trouble!"
The man known as Sheridan said in exasperation.
"Then Captain, should we use our magic cannons to directly sink Captain Derian's ship now!
Take the goods back!"
The young mercenary said.
"Pop!"
Sheridan slapped the youth across the face, and five finger red marks immediately surfaced on half of the youth's face!
Despite the beating, the youth still stood straight up, not showing any different behavior because of the slap.
"Tubman, what's in your head?
Both of these mercenary ships were loaded with light energy barriers that could defend against magical cannons, what was the point of using magical cannons?
!"
"Although those stupid orcs won't necessarily use it, but even if they could, there's precious cargo on that ship!
With what magic cannon!
Hurry up and accelerate at full speed to chase after them, using the ropes!
With a giant crossbow!
But just don't use the magic cannon!
A ship is also expensive to build, so think before you act!"
Sheridan cursed loudly and angrily!
"Yes, got it!"
"Full acceleration, charge Captain Derian's ship, no magic cannon attacks allowed!"
Taberman delivered Sheridan's orders in a high-pitched and loud voice, not at all emotionally drained by the slap on the wrist!
"Know what's wrong?"
Sheridan asked in a low voice.
Taberman was silent, only nodding heavily, his eyes steely!
"When you come out to do something, you have to admit when you're wrong, and you have to stand upright when you're beaten!
This is what a qualified mercenary should do, Derian that guy should not be able to come back, when I go back I can recommend you to take over Derian's position, you do things in the future on you know what I mean!"
Sheridan said softly.
"I will listen carefully to what you say from now on!"
Taberman said in a hushed voice.
"Very well, just listen!"
It was obvious that Sheridan meant what he said, and the deliberate pause in saying the word hearing spoke for itself!
Taberman looked up and smiled, the corners of his placid mouth rising slightly, and with it the fiery red slap mark!
The relationship between people is so marvelous, always entangled with each other because of the bond between interests, chaotic and complex, fickle and elusive!
Over here, the first thing Carlos thought of when he took over was to blast the other mercenary ship with the ship's magic cannons!
"Which one of you knows how to fire a magic cannon, tell me how to use that thing!"
Carlos was anxious to use his magic cannon!
"I will!"
Shelia volunteered.
Getting rid of those pesky mercenaries quickly was the last thing Carlos wanted to do right now!
So, Carlos and Hylia went below decks to look for the magical guide cannons loaded on the sides of the ship, Hoffman began to lead the warriors of the Bell Bear Clan to clean up the decks and dispose of the human corpses, and Avril commanded the clansmen of the Robert Rabbit Clan to pack up and organize the supplies on the ship, and the rudder's direction was adjusted, so that the ship had now begun to head towards the east coast of the Tiporo Sea at breakneck speeds!
Below decks, in the middle of a deep, dark tunnel, Carlos found several switches, flicked them, and window after window slowly rose!
The sunlight poured down, shining on one magical cannon after another, reflecting a glossy metallic sheen, and Carlos couldn't resist rushing up to play with the cannons, tapping them over and over again, like picking out a watermelon on the street!
"What are you doing?
!"
Shelia was puzzled, she didn't understand what Carlos meant by this.
"I was almost killed by this thing in the sea just now, and now I'm curious about how this thing can be so powerful, so I'm not trying to figure it out myself."
Carlos rubbed his head awkwardly.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
"This is just an ordinary magic guide cannon, the magic energy that can be loaded is not much, in the Orc Empire there are more advanced super magic guide cannons, that kind of level is only worth researching, this kind of one can only be considered as a small toy."
Shelia's words were full of disdain.
"If such are toys, what are you who have been taken captive by toys?"
Carlos didn't say this out loud, only mentally slandered a bit even, face still catering to this noble girl who hadn't gone through the poisonous beatings of society was saying.
"I've never seen it before, that's why it's new, it's good that you understand, in your opinion can you sink another ship with this?
!"
Carlos asked softly.
"As long as the energy is strong enough, sinking an armed ship is still no problem!"
Shelia said confidently.
"Very well, let's get started then!"
Carlos was a little impatient to get rid of these human mercenaries himself so he could get to the Orc Empire as soon as possible!
By this time, another ship had also appeared in front of Carlos and Shelia, and they were chasing after it so fast that the distance between the two was gradually decreasing!
Without Carlos' urging, Shelia had already installed a large number of magic crystals, and then commanded Carlos to aim the cannon at the target, and then a small ball of light condensed from magical energy appeared at her fingertips, and she lightly tapped a groove at the end of the magical cannon, and the escaping magical energy filled up the groove, and then the cannon's muzzle began to converge with red particle energy, and after a short period of cohesion, it was transformed into a red beam of light from the muzzle, and flew towards the rapidly approaching mercenary ship! It flew towards the rapidly approaching mercenary ship!
"Buzz!"
The envisioned roaring explosion didn't happen, when the ship came into contact with the red beam, a light blue barrier surfaced on the hull of the ship, the red beam didn't enter the barrier, except for the ripples it caused, it didn't have the slightest effect!
Carlos' whole body was dumbfounded, this shit comes with a shield?
! "What's so surprising about that, isn't it normal that there are means of attack and of course there are means of defense?"
Shelia said flatly as she looked at Carlos' surprised face.
"That's true ." Carlos didn't know what to say, just that the things in this world refreshed Carlos' worldview again and again.
Say it's advanced, they still have bows and arrows in their hands, say it's backward, it's a horse that can even organize light energy shields!
Compared to Carlos' surprise, Shelia was calm and collected!
"It's just an ordinary magical energy shield, light blue is a lower level one, as long as you increase the supply of attack energy and reach the upper limit of the energy shield's protection, the shield will naturally break!"
Hylia acted like she was telling a rare thing.
Shelia's light mood affected Carlos' emotions in the same way, and he gradually stabilized and began to try and slowly accept the bizarre aspects of this world.
"And how much is enough?
Is there enough in these magic crystals on the ship?"
Carlos regained his composure.
"I'm not really sure about that, I can only try one at a time until it breaks!"
Hylia pursed her lips after she finished speaking, as if considering how many magic crystals to put in her next attack.
Carlos looked at this cute young girl who was seriously picking out magic crystals, the corner of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly, revealing a naive and silly look, perceiving this look of Carlos, Hylia playfully winked at Carlos, then crooked her head and smiled sweetly.
"Wow, to die for, this swan is just mesmerizing!
!"
Carlos cried out in his mind!
Unlike the fox's coquettishness, what emanated from her was a strong aura of gentleness, an aura that was too easy to relax and indulge!
Carlos kept trying to be firm in his convictions, but couldn't stop falling into Shelia's tenderness!
While Carlos was suffering internally, Shelia had reloaded the crystals to send out a second salvo!
The hum of gathering power pulled Carlos out of his tenderness, and a red beam of light, thicker compared to before, shot out!
The ripples that rose up this time lasted much longer, but still slowly fell silent, the light blue shroud of light remaining unbroken!
"This requirement to reach the upper limit of the energy shield's tolerance, does it have to be broken all at once or can it be cumulative?"
Carlos asked.
"The light blue light shield is accumulated to reach the upper limit, you must exceed the upper limit in a single attack alone that kind of is a higher level magic shield only has the characteristics, don't you not understand?
How does one know all this?"
Shelia blinked her big eyes and looked at Carlos quizzically.
"I I'm just guessing!"
Carlos felt a pang of discomfort as she looked at him.
"This is too slow, they'll be catching up soon, we need to sink them before they get here or the orcs on deck will be in danger!"
Carlos hurriedly changed the subject.
"That's true, it needs to be faster, but I can't fire two magic cannons at the same time by myself!"
Shelia said glumly.
"That's good, you show me how to use this thing and we'll both fire it!"
Carlos said.
"To use a magical weapon you must have magical energy, do you?"
Shelia asked.
"Of course I did!"
Carlos is very confident.
A fireball then rose from Carlos's palm, the dancing flames highlighting his power!
"It's not like that, it's just absorbed elemental energy, to use a magical weapon you need to be able to harness pure magical energy, having that gives you the potential to become a magician, and not everyone in the human race can become a magician, and in the orc empire magicians are even rarer!"
Hylia said with some regret.
"Pure magical energy?
I," Carlos looked like he was deep in thought, in reality Carlos went to the system to solve the problem.
"Al, what is pure magical energy?"
Carlos asked bluntly.
"Pure magical energy is the base energy in nature, and the components recognized in the system are filtered elemental energy!
Does the master need to use pure magical energy?"
Al is always so understanding.
"Yes, I desperately need it now!"
Listening to this, Al seemed to have a solution, and Carlos got a little excited.
"The system has the auxiliary function of energy filtering, except that any energy conversion that passes through the system's participation, the system has to siphon off a portion of it, so the conversion rate is not one hundred percent!"
Al said lightly.
"Huh?
Again!
Why do I feel like this system is a middleman!"
Carlos was quite vocal about this setting of the system.
Al was silent at this, with a noncommittal air.
"Ugh, just give it as a toll."
Carlos thought to himself.
"Al, what's that conversion rate?"
Carlos had compromised by asking.
"The system's current default conversion rate is ninety percent, and it will be..." "I know, it will decrease in the future, right? Anyway, it definitely won't increase!"
Before Al could finish, Carlos took over and said to himself.
"Well, master is right about that!"
Al chuckled softly.
"Well, make the switch."
Carlos left the space of consciousness with those words.
The exchange between the consciousnesses was complete in only a fraction of a second, and in reality Carlos still had the same pensive look he had just had.
"Pure magical energy?
I I'll use it too!"
Carlos said after a moment.
The fireball in Carlos's palm then disappeared, and a ball of light the size of an eye coalesced at Carlos's fingertips, a ball of light that was even bigger than the ball of light from the magic guide cannon that Hylia had just fired!
"Eh," this time it was Hylia's turn to be surprised and speechless!
Just now, Carlos was clearly a person who didn't know what magical energy was, how could he condense more magical energy than himself in the blink of an eye?
You know, you have studied for several years before becoming a magic apprentice, and the cultivation of magic is also very difficult, so how can this be . "How about it, is this level okay?"
Carlos inquired.
"Uh huh, it's already possible, this is already the level of a magical apprentice, it's completely enough to use a magical weapon, just load the magic crystals first, and then imbue them with magical energy like I did, and the magical cannon is ready to be fired!"
Carlos fired it once as Shelia had done, and the effect was generally the same as when Shelia had fired it, "Accelerate the blast, it's going to take a lot to break that shield as soon as possible!"
Carlos said to Shelia.
"Uh-huh!"
Hylia nodded, while her hands were already loading the magic crystals needed for the next shot.
And by this time, several ropes had been hooked in different directions to the mast in the center of this ship, and the ship was hooked, and its speed was immediately slowed down, and it was being approached faster and faster!
The Bell Bear warriors tried to cut the rope, but the rope didn't know what special material it was, it was very tough, and it was useless to cut it with a sword or chop it with an axe!
The distance between the two ships was getting closer and closer, a distance that was just right for bows and arrows to be used to advantage!
"Prep!
Release!"
Sherid ordered, and all the mercenaries on the ship released their taut bowstrings at the first opportunity, and in an instant arrows rained down on the orc warriors!
