The Wizard’s Way Home - Chapter 297
Kenan stood on a sailing boat, silently watching the sea level in the distance.
This is a ship that regularly travels between Negan and the mainland. In Negan, large tracts of fields were destroyed or could not be grown for various reasons. Negan’s grain has always been able to make ends meet. Therefore, grain is a very valuable item in this piece of land.
It is for this reason that every year, people who are either motivated by greed, or who are strong, or desperate, bring a large amount of food to trade with the Negan people in exchange for their gold, silver, diamonds and various precious things. Items.
Some of them succeeded, and finally turned over to take the initiative. Some failed and were swallowed up by the ship. However, the huge profits attracted a large number of businessmen to come to this businessmen’s eyes in droves. A land of unlimited business opportunities.
Of course, in addition to merchants, wanderers, failed family struggles, mercenaries, adventurers, fugitives, beggars, escaped slaves, and various careerists and conspirators with ulterior motives, all travel to Negan by boat. I look forward to opening up my own business in this land of unlimited opportunities. However, most of them died silently, and only occasionally people with good strength and luck gained a foothold here and managed a good power.
It was precisely because of this situation that Kenan easily boarded a merchant ship full of grain and embarked on a journey to Negan.
Just as Kenan was staring at the sea level in the distance, suddenly, from the back of the island in the distance, a sailing boat with black sails suddenly appeared. This sailing boat with black sails is a bit like a Galen boat. , But there are only three masts. The huge horizontal sails are swollen by the sea wind, and the huge bow is equipped with a sharp collision angle. The sharp collision angle shines under the sun, the ocean and the storm The statue of the goddess sits on the bow of the ship, looking sacred and solemn, but the people on the ship wielding swords and shouting constantly have destroyed this solemn feeling completely.
At this time, the watchman on the ship had already seen the other’s sailing ship, and he sounded the alarm bell on the ship to inform the news of the encounter with the pirates.
The crew of the ship quickly moved into action—in this sea area, pirates are often encountered. Therefore, the crew is accustomed to it. After receiving a warning, they quickly opened the door for storing weapons, and then everyone Leading a sharp machete, preparing for the next battle.
In the era without artillery, bows and arrows and gang warfare were the mainstream of maritime warfare, and bowstrings were very difficult to maintain in such a humid environment. Therefore, most people would choose gang warfare to determine the outcome, only occasionally going to sea. The regular navy will bring a group of archers on board.
The captain of the ship approached Kenan who was standing on the bow, “Sir, we have encountered a pirate attack. If you are ready to help us, we will be very grateful and thank you. If you don’t want to participate in this battle, please return. The cabin so as not to be accidentally injured in the next battle.”
Kenan smiled and patted the long sword on his waist. “If you are even afraid of pirates, then I should go to Nigan and return to the mainland. Now let me see how powerful the Nigan people are. Bar.”
The sailor saw that Kenan was willing to help and expressed his gratitude. Although he didn’t know how strong Kenan was, in this situation, one more person would have more chances of winning. On this route, failure is death. End.
After expressing his gratitude, the sailor went to mobilize the next passenger and distributed some extra weapons to those who did not prepare suitable weapons. Although there are not many such people-if you want to go to Negan, you must first have a self-defense weapon, but every time you will encounter one or two.
After the captain had arranged the passengers, the opposing pirate ship had rushed straight over, seeing that the sharp collision angle was about to scratch the side of the merchant ship. Under the command of the captain, the merchant ship dropped the iron in time. Anchor. After sinking into the seabed, the huge iron anchor stiffly pulled the sailing sailing ship to drift in place. The keel of the ship creaked and the whole ship turned forcibly to the right by ninety degrees, directly rubbing against the pirate ship. Shoulder to shoulder. Many crew members were unsteady and were thrown to the ground.
When everyone got up, the ship had been connected to the pirate ship, and many pirates roared and threw grappling hooks and springboards between the two ships, and then rushed over with a single knife.
Kenan did not immediately rush to solve these pirates, even though there was no problem at all to solve these pirates with his strength.
The members of these pirates are more complicated, including humans, dwarves, gray dwarves, orcs, dark elves, tauren, werewolves, naga, and even a caveman.
This combination made Kenan a little puzzled. He really did not understand how such a combination came together, what kind of existence can bring these different races, different beliefs, and even feuds (dwarves and dwarves). The gray dwarves are feuds, and the tauren is a racial group that feeds on cavemen. If possible, Kenan really wants to meet the other’s leader and discuss with him the issue of racial integration.
However, all of this is based on defeating the opponent.
Group fighting has the advantages of being neat and uniform, and each has its own characteristics. If a team is neat and uniform, it is more suitable for forming a battle formation, coordinated offense and defense, and group combat is more powerful. The more famous ones are the Roman phalanx, the Spanish phalanx and so on. If you have different characteristics, it is not easy to be targeted by your opponent’s weaknesses, because your configuration is too messy, and your opponent doesn’t know which one you will encounter. You have a pikeman against a caveman or a dwarf gray dwarf. The winning rate is ten. Seven or eight, and if you run into tauren or dark elves, it’s hard to say.
In addition, a multi-ethnic team can form a professional complementarity and its effect is much stronger than a single configuration. For example, you are slashing with a dark elf or half-orc with a knife, and suddenly a short man quietly walks in front of you while you accidentally jump up and hit a hammer on your knee, then you will basically be The life of a city gate guard, if you can survive.
At this time, the sailors and guards on the merchant ship encountered this trouble. Although their fighting experience is very sufficient, they are all veterans with long battles, but their experience is mostly aimed at a certain kind of single Creatures, like this kind of mixed team, are the first time they have met. Therefore, I suffered a big loss when I was caught off guard, and the beaten were defeated steadily.
Kenan observed in the corner for a while and understood that if he didn’t take action again, I’m afraid this merchant ship would be completely ransacked by these pirates. In desperation, Kenan had to drew the long sword from his waist and joined the battle group.
