Celtic Sea region, Dragon Head.
”Lord, there seems to be a naval battle in front; seems like they have met some pirates!” Zheng He reported.
”Oh?”
Ouyang Shuo took the telescope and looked out at the battlefield.
”English Man O' War?”
Ouyang Shuo immediately recognized the battleships and the ongoing battle.
”Giant dragons?”
When he saw the huge dragons circling around in the air, he thought back to the information from the last life. He was basically certain that these pirates were the infamous Vikings.
”Send down my orders. We will immediately fight, save the English squadron.” Ouyang Shuo put down the telescope and ordered without hesitation. No matter who the enemy was, such a favor would help him in England.
”Yes, my Lord!” Zheng He did as told.
In contrast to the English battleships, the Shanhai City voyage squadron was made up of many different warships. They were also equipped with trebuchets, arcuballistas, arrows, rockets, and more.
The voyage squadron was better equipped to deal with the Vikings.
Under the orders of Zheng He, the voyage squadron formed into a battle formation and charged over. At the same time, frogmen dived down toward the dragon boats.
Although the Europeans already knew about the frogmen tactic, the Vikings were still unfamiliar with it.
Before the voyage squadron even approached, the drums of war rang out.
Cannon fire, arrow rain.
The Viking Pirates who were in the middle of an intense battle were pushed back; instantly, they panicked.
”Cover up!” Zheng He ordered.
Crossing boats and fighting were things that the voyage squadron did not fear.
Chen Dameng and the Divine Martial Guards were all raring to go, their killing intents boiling.
”Kill!”
The strong Divine Martial Guards and the sword-shield soldiers charged into the chaos; another round of massacre ensued.
On the dragon boat in the distance, the head of the pirates, Tuffnutt, stared at them like a bull; he opened his mouth, revealing his disgusting teeth, ”Can anyone tell me who that damned fellow is?”
”....”
No one could answer his question.
”Send the dragons to kill them.” Tuffnutt was not ready to give up.
”Yes!”
The fatty took up the cow horn by his neck and blew a special melody. When the dragon tamers in the air heard this sound, they immediately controlled the fire dragons to charge toward the voyage squadron.
On board Dragon Head, Ouyang Shuo stared at the two dragons flying over, unfazed. He had even fought the mysterious eastern dragon. In comparison, these two 'dragons' were just lizards that could fly.
”Shoot down the two lizards!” Ouyang Shuo ordered.
”Don't worry!” Zheng He was also completely confident.
Handguns or muskets were not the true killing weapon to deal with these flying beasts. The true ones were the three-bow arcuballistas prepared by the voyage squadron.
The arrows shot by the arcuballisatas were like harpoons, flying over 1500 meters. Even giant dragons would definitely be heavily injured if struck.
On the various turreted ships, hundreds of arcuballistas had zeroed in, aiming at the flying dragons.
On the backs of the flying dragons, the Viking dragon tamers looked rather bored; they did not feel that any weapon could threaten their giant dragons. Just thinking about the enemy warships going up in flames, they could not help but break out into smiles.
”Dumb humans, prepare to be burned!” The dragon tamers clamored.
Aang!!
One of the dragons roared, sucking in air; its stomach instantly bloated and shone with a bright fiery red as if magma was boiling in its stomach.
”Fire!”
Just as the giant dragon was getting ready to shoot out its flames, the order to fire was given.
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
Huge spear like arrows shot through the air.
Aang!
The dragon in the air let loose a painful cry; the gigantic 'one spear three sword arrow' either pierced its stomach or its wings, putting it in immense pain.
The flames that it was about to fire out were swallowed; its face turned red and smoke bellowed from its nose.
Aaaaang!!
The roars continued; the dragon tamer stumble and was tossed off its back.
Ahh!
The dragon tamer screamed helplessly in the air, crashing into the ocean. Their dragon could not last for long, stumbling and struggling to fly for less than a few meters before falling into the ocean and causing huge waves.
The pirate leader Tuffnutt looked on with his mouth agape; he pinched the fatty beside him in disbelief.
Ahh!
The fatty let out a pig like squeal.
”It's real!” Tuffnutt muttered.
”Boss, what should we do?” The fat pirate looked at Tuffnutt, annoyed.
”Pa!” Tuffnutt kicked him, ”Are you dumb? Run!”
”Yes, yes, yes!”
The fat pirate immediately ordered the ships to start to retreat.
As for the pirates who were still fighting, they could not care for them any longer. Pirates were not soldiers, loyalty or brotherhood did not exist. Deserting their brothers was common to them.
