Struggle in the Steam Age

"Boom!" Joseph quickly blocked the gray ray magic with the shield in his hand. However, when he put down the shield, he realized that the iron sheet on the iron-covered shield had been completely blasted, and most of the wood inside had also turned into charred black, as if it were charcoal.

"What a powerful magic." As a warrior who has experienced the flames of war, Knight Joseph naturally has a certain understanding of magic, so he just glanced at his destroyed shield and knew that he was absolutely impossible to defeat the spellcaster on the opposite side. Not even long enough to delay.

But just when he felt tense, a blue force field ball directly brushed against his body and flew towards the direction of the pirate flagship shrouded in gunpowder smoke. And not far away, another group of flames also attacked the position where the blue light ball attacked before.

"Don't stand there, be careful of the enemy's surprise attack." Before Knight Joseph could react, he saw Lawrence rushing out of the gunpowder smoke after the artillery was fired, and shouted to himself while firing magic at the pirate flagship.

At this moment, a huge figure leaped high from the pirate flagship and jumped over to the deck of the Enterprise. Even if the soldiers on Lawrence's side fired desperately, they could not hinder the opponent's progress. I saw that figure fell on the deck of the Enterprise like a shell, and then directly removed the right arm of a ratman warrior holding a pistol that was blocked in front of him.

But just as he was about to swing the battle ax in his hand to take the life of the Skaven warrior who fell on the ground, Knight Joseph stepped forward and stabbed the big pirate with his hand, forcing him to retreat and try to cut the Skaven warrior down. The ax on the warrior's head was placed in front of his chest to avoid being pierced by the sword of Joseph Knight.

When—with a sound of metal collision, the tip of the sword pierced the surface of the axe, sparking a stream of sparks. Even though Cavalier Joseph is a little smaller than that big guy, two people who are about the same level in extraordinary level can be regarded as evenly matched in strength. So the two quickly fought on the deck of the Enterprise.

Because the distance between the two parties is no longer suitable for continued artillery battles, and the previous artillery also created several huge holes in the opponent's ship, so some of the crew of the Enterprise brandished their weapons and used the springboard more actively. Drilled in with the rope along those holes and started a fierce close combat.

As for the small number of pirates on the pirate flagship, in order to prevent the Enterprise from jumping, only a small number of people stayed in the cabin, while most of them went to the deck for defense. Therefore, when faced with the crew of the Enterprise who rushed in from the hole in the ship's side, they couldn't resist at all, and soon began to retreat steadily.

At this time, Lawrence, Fatina and Safir followed the two commandos to attack the pirate flagship from two directions. As soon as he jumped onto the deck of the pirate flagship along the rope on the mast, Lawrence saw a mass of The black flame flew straight towards his face.

Seeing this, he immediately blocked a wooden barrel on the ship in front of the flame with the hand of a mage, and then hid himself to the side. It turned out that after the black flame hit the barrel, it burned the barrel into charcoal in less than a second. Then the charred wooden barrel with black flames continued to fly towards Lawrence under the push of the flame.

[Mage Hand] Lawrence released the Mage Hand again, but he was surprised to find that the entire magic structure immediately became chaotic after the Mage Hand touched the black flame on the barrel, which forced him to use more magic power It was only then that the magic was maintained, and the wooden barrel that flew towards him flew towards a group of gathered pirates.

After the wooden barrel fell on the deck, it immediately dispersed, turning into charred charcoal blocks with black flames splashing around. All the pirates who were contaminated by the black flame screamed and beat the flames on their bodies desperately, and even rolled on the deck. But no matter what they did, they couldn't extinguish the flames on their bodies.

"This kind of flame will use human life as fuel. You must be careful when fighting him, and don't get caught in this kind of flame." As a puppet creature with divinity, hidden behind the sail of a pirate ship Nora in the corner quickly saw the details of the magic that the black priest had released before. "This should be the power he gained after betraying and blaspheming the gods he served before."

At this moment, several gunshots came from the group of pirates whose bodies were stained with black flames. It was obvious that some pirates swallowed their guns and killed themselves because they couldn't bear the burning feeling of their souls.

This made Lawrence further increase his vigilance, although according to the plan in this operation, he did not need to fight the black priest in front of him. But this kind of battle is also full of murderous intentions, and it may be difficult to rescue them if they are accidentally attacked.

But at this time, it was too late for him to think about how miserable he would be after he was injured, because after the first miss, the black priest on the opposite side first dodged left and right to avoid the sniper attack of the ratman magic gunman on the top of the enterprise mast. , and then continued to attack Lawrence from a blind spot that the Ratman could not see.

The black priest's attack seemed a little simple, just throwing fireballs of black flames. But such a simple attack was also very fatal to Lawrence, and he had to dodge repeatedly to avoid those fatal attacks.

During the battle, Lawrence also discovered that the [Dispel Magic] spell could indeed completely make the black fireball disappear. So sometimes he would use this magic to dispel the black fireball flying towards him, and then use the [Force Field Missile] strengthened by [Spell Amplification] to fight back.

Facing the strengthened [Force Field Missiles], the black priest as the leader of the pirates had no choice but to use a shield formed of black flames to block the blue missiles flying towards him. And this exposed that although the black priest had obtained powerful power through blasphemy, his body had not been specially strengthened.

Even so, Lawrence also retreated steadily due to the gap in the extraordinary level, and finally even retreated to the edge of the pirate ship. When another black fireball from the black priest Sam flew towards him, Lawrence suddenly lost his balance as if he stepped on something under his feet and fell into the sea below the boat.

At the same time, there was a sudden explosion under the old-fashioned sailboat that was rushing over in the distance, and then it floated motionless in the sea like a dead fish. This is the mine that the monster phantom summoned by Bai Zetu just now exploded under the opponent's keel. And this explosion also forced the pirates who planned to come over to support them to have to solve the problem of their own ships first.

At the same time, because of the explosion, the black priest who was hesitant to stay on the boat to drive away the gangsters or continue to chase Lawrence also made up his mind and walked to the side of the boat to continue the pursuit. Because he found that the probability of regaining his ship was not high, he decided to kill Lawrence, who was obviously the leader, and then snatch his ship.

After all, according to common sense, spellcasters are often the leaders of a team. Therefore, the black priest felt that by killing Lawrence now, he would be able to weaken the morale of the crew members who attacked his own ship to the greatest extent possible.

But when he lowered his head, he realized that there was also a big hole in the ship's side on his side, and he didn't know which one of those people fighting fiercely in the cabin made it. And the young prey just hid in the cabin along this big hole. When he looked down just now, he happened to see the corner of the guy's robe flashing through the hole.

"Want to run? It's not that easy." The black priest Sam, who was muttering, also jumped down, but before he reached the breach, he felt that something in the gunpowder smoke on the left and right was heading towards him. Fly over quickly.

"What!"
