our family is gone

Chapter 189 Overwhelming Victory
"What means do these pirates have?"

"There is a big net on the back of the sail, those pirates will hang on it, and when they get close, they will use the cables to jump over the net, and there will be a hook thrown over the side of the ship, as long as they are hooked, they can rely on the rope to climb over, and the technology is good. Some of them can even step on the rope directly..."

It is still useful to have an experienced old captain, at least Lance, who is not very clear about these things, can quickly understand the methods of pirates.

It can only be said that it is quite barren, and the boarding battle is a hand-to-hand combat without any technical content.

Extraordinary power is not so random, or once it is out of that circle, it all becomes so rare that many ordinary people have never been exposed to it in their entire lives...

Inside the pirate ship, as the old captain said, there were more than a dozen or 20 people standing on the back of the canvas, all holding a cable in their hands, and holding various weapons in the other hand, such as short swords or machetes.

And at the bow, a bearded man with greasy clothes and a boat cap fiddled with the binoculars in his hand and murmured.

"It's really weird, they don't run away? Is it a navy disguise?"

"Captain, do you want to turn around and avoid it?" A crew member couldn't help asking.

"Who do you think I am?" The bearded man put away the binoculars, raised his hand and pointed there, "Bring the boat over!"

This is beyond the scope of activities of the Totnes Navy, and that ship is a cargo ship without artillery, afraid of a hammer!

It's not surprising to see pirates who are frightened and stupid. Have you seen it several times over the years? Maybe the ship is in chaos now.

"It's time for us to get rich if we meet him today." The bearded man drew out his scimitar and shouted, "Full speed ahead!"

The order was issued, and the ship immediately burst into joy.

"Hahaha!"

"I hope there are some noble ladies on board."

"Damn it! The fisher girl I caught last time was played to death by you before I touched it."

"What's so interesting about that kind of thing? When you have money to go back to the island, there will be more women."

"I heard that a new batch of rabbits has arrived on the island..."

"Disgusting, very fucking disgusting!"

"What is this! I also saw him running to the sheepfold at night."

"Fuck you! Don't sleep too hard at night."

The topic of pirates is nothing more than money, women, and alcohol. They are not bound by worldly rules. Years of crazy behavior have made them lose their last humanity. To some extent, they are no longer human.

Amidst those vulgar words, the speed of the ship was gradually increased, and the distance between them and the cargo ship was getting closer and closer, and their topic also turned into killing, and their faces were covered with bloodthirsty madness.

The boundary between life and death is eliminated in their eyes, and they want to give everything they have to the sea in the most crazy gesture, and of course they ask for more.

As the ship approached, the bearded man did not go crazy, but continued to observe. As the captain, he had to ensure the harvest of this trip.

If the situation is slightly wrong, he will pull the flag and run away.

It's just that he saw a weird scene, there were only four people on the deck, did they all hide below?

That little boy is not good at first glance, he should be the cargo owner of the ship.

Barbarian woman?There is no such thing as a big weapon.

Outlandish clothes, what can that knife do?
And an old guy?
You guys still want to negotiate with me?

The bearded man was afraid of being a trap at first, but after looking back and forth a few times, he found that there were only four old, weak, sick and disabled on board, and his vigilance gradually eased.

Fuck it, it's over!

The bearded man put away the binoculars and raised his scimitar towards the cargo ship.

"Little ones, leave me that little boy, and kill the others!"

The captain's majesty is vividly reflected. If other pirates say this, they will definitely make fun of him, but now there are no pirates who dare to make fun of the captain. transferred to others.

The ship inserted into the starboard side from the oblique side, and the skilled operation brought the two ships closer together within a distance of four or five meters.

And at this moment, many hooks were thrown from the ship, and the sail turned around, revealing that the pirates standing behind him were swinging over with the help of cables.

In an instant, more than a dozen people were scattered all over the cargo ship. This kind of terrifying efficiency is no wonder that ordinary cargo ships are difficult to resist.

But the boat is moving, and this thing also has huge risks. Some people with poor technology will fall directly into the sea, or they will fall directly without controlling the height, or they will directly fall to death when they hit the pole of the boat.

But Lance and the others couldn't care less, because the hook lock on the pirate ship was firmly hooked to the starboard side. Jump on the deck of a cargo ship and show extraordinary agility.

"Hahahaha! Run away~"

"I'm coming in!"

"Women! Women! I'm dying without women!"

"kill!"

They looked for any enemy in front of them, and then waved their weapons towards them, all looking crazy, only killing.

Those pirates broke through the passage to find a way to go down to the cabin, searching for all possible enemies, but when they rushed into the dark cabin, they were greeted by spears that suddenly protruded from the darkness.

"what!"

The space on the ship is narrow, especially the cabin, so it can be seen that the weapons in their hands are basically short soldiers, but coupled with their fierceness, it shocked the enemy greatly. Once close to the body without guards, they can withstand crazy attacks.

But today they faced the same fearless spear guards.

The gun array is used for defense, especially in narrow corridors, and it will have a strong effect.

The gap was too obvious, with a few guns poking out, the pirates had nowhere to escape, and the weapons in their hands could not attack.

But there were also some pirates who directly threw out the hand axes, or took out the muskets that had been loaded long ago and fired.

There were casualties in the scuffle for a while.

But no one retreats, they want to protect their relatives behind them, and they want to offer the blood of the enemy to the adults.

loyalty! ! !

However, the battle on the deck showed a one-sided trend. What good equipment the pirates could have were all light armor or no armor.

And these are the best targets for Boudica.

Seeing the pirate, she was so excited that she picked up her weapon and rushed up, leaving the team directly.

The halberd slashed and slashed, leaving no broken limbs or arms, and no pirate could get close to her. Seeing her crazy appearance, she even directly crushed the pirates.

Her posture directly attracted the attention of the bearded man, and he couldn't help but be shocked to see her overwhelming the crowd by herself. These barbarians are really cruel.

But he was not an ordinary person, he immediately yelled and rushed forward.

"Barbarian! Your opponent is me."

There was still a smile on Boudica's face, the slashing and slashing brought her intense pleasure, which directly dispelled the depression of these days.

If you can't beat the boss, you can't beat you?

"Big guy!" The big beard rushing over attracted her attention. She was still not satisfied with these trash fish, and she longed for a stronger opponent.

"waaagh!!!"

She subconsciously yelled the battle cry of the tribe, and the halberd had already slashed towards the bearded man, and the two were fighting one side.

The doctor didn't expect this woman to be so powerful. If she came to arrest him that night, he might be gone in one shot, and it would be his turn to meet him.

The old captain was also a little frightened, he didn't expect that the barbarian guard was so strong, no wonder the adults didn't care about those pirates.

But Lance didn't care much. There might be some strong pirates among the pirates, but most of them were meddlesome fish like bandits. If Boudica couldn't beat them, those extraordinary creatures would be eaten for nothing.

But he was more anxious about another matter. The gunshot rang out, and a huge sense of crisis enveloped him.

Do you fucking know how much it will cost to hurt a guard Lao Tzu?
"Protect the doctor!" This time, Lance didn't care about touching the fish. Before the pirates approached, he took the initiative to charge over, waving the long sword in his hand.

Compared with Boudica's exaggeration, Lance is like an efficient killing machine, and the strength of the elite here is directly higher than I don't know how many levels.

All the way, he focused on those pirates with muskets, chopping melons and vegetables and leaving wailing.

And the doctor and the old captain who followed were dumbfounded. So it was me who was the best?
But both also reacted, waving their weapons to deal with the pirates.

I have to say that the doctor's ability is still good, and it is not a problem to deal with one or two pirates. I don't know how she learned this as a college student.

And the old captain's body does not have the strength of youth, but the year-round work is not much worse, not to mention the veteran experience, the machete is sophisticated and vicious, cutting the bodies of pirates one by one.

It is true that pirates are crazy, but this kind of madness has a price, that is, they pour violence on others, rather than others beating themselves.

Only blood can calm their madness.

Sometimes it was the blood of the enemy, but now it is one's own blood.

They soon found that they couldn't beat them. After the frenzy, they were afraid. Watching those companions who were joking with them fall down, although the pirates didn't have much real feelings, they still had a feeling of cold lips and teeth.

No, I have to run by myself.

When a pirate wants to turn around and run, they are completely broken.

Of course the bearded man noticed the change in the battle situation and knew that he had been fooled. He thought he could easily take down this barbarian, but he didn't expect to be entangled.

But the pirates never had the idea of ​​Wude. They fended off the halberd with their scimitars, and took out the muskets at their waists to face them.

With a cruel smile on his face, die!
Boudica is also a battle-hardened veteran, so how could she not know the power of this thing? She is not stupid, how could she watch him do it.

"Ow!"

With a savage roar, the bearded man could only feel a brutal and bloody aura rushing towards his face, and he felt fear in his heart, and he couldn't help stopping his movements.

But Boudica's movements didn't stop, the halberd slashed directly with his spear and hands.

"what!"

The sharp pain from his hand directly broke through the fear and made him react. At this time, he had no capital to resist, otherwise he would split himself with the next halberd.

No, we must find a way.

There was no choice, the bearded man retreated directly and used his companion's body to block Boudica's attack, but his huge body was flexible.

If he couldn't outrun the enemy, he just needed to run faster than his companions, but after this battle, no crew member would trust him, even among the notorious pirates.

But now I don't care about so much, so I run for my life first.

"Coward!" Boudica didn't expect the bearded man to run away suddenly, he cut the pirate in front of him in half with a casual slash, and then rushed over quickly.

However, there were too many fleeing enemies, and the ship's side was too small. Seeing that he was about to return to the ship at a distance, a bottle was thrown out, directly breaking through and splashing out a viscous light green fluid.

"Ah!" A puff of blue smoke rose from the crowd.

The few people in that area were all stained by the corrosive agent, and the clothes and flesh couldn't block it, and the flesh and blood melted to reveal the white bones, and even the bones became rotten.

Hiss~ It's so terrifying!
Even the beard was affected, and the thigh was touched by the splashing acid. Although it was not too serious, it seemed to be burned, and the flexible movement stopped.

And this is eternity, Boudica's vigorous posture kills, the war halberd swings from bottom to top like a steel swan raising its high head, and directly chops the head in half under the contact of the sharp blade.

"Put down your weapons, surrender without killing!"

Lance cleared out the musketeers among them, and then shouted three times in a row, pointing at the sword, one or two all dropped their weapons and raised their hands to signal surrender.

The reason is simple, those who surrender slowly are cut off.

Boudica, who had just killed the beard here, was a little dissatisfied when she heard this, but she had no choice but to put away her halberd, and in front of her was a guy who raised his hand and surrendered.

That person was not lucky, if he was slower, he would have died. He felt like he had narrowly escaped death, and he was more excited than grabbing 100 million yuan.

It's not that no one tried to go back and leave, but these pirates used all their strength to hold the cargo ship firmly, and it was these hooks that had connected the two, how could they be untied in a short time, and the densely packed ropes would have to be cut even if they were cut long time.

Lance even jumped over directly, and suppressed the escaped pirates by himself, in fact, there were only a few.

After controlling the situation, he ordered the guards to come out and tie up all the prisoners, and the doctors went to treat the wounded.

Fortunately, there were only three minor injuries and one serious injury.

The power of the pistol is relatively small, plus the lead bullet is soft, and the sundries piled up on it by myself blocked the attacks of the musketeers, even if they didn't completely block it, the power was greatly weakened.

Not to mention that he rushed up from behind to kill those guys, and there was no chance of a second round.

It was a little unlucky for the seriously injured one, a bullet pierced through debris and just hit him in the chest.

"Hurry up and carry him into the room for immediate surgery."

Lance glanced at the doctor, and summoned two people to carry the injured into the room.

And turned to tell the captain.

"Go and inform the ship behind that the battle is over, let it come over to respond, and arrange for someone to unlock those hooks, but be careful of the pirates on the ship, don't go in."

After a quick explanation, he followed into the room.

The injured had lost too much blood and had injured his lungs, and had already fallen into a coma and lost consciousness.

It stands to reason that he could be sentenced to death directly, and then give him a knife to relieve the pain, but Lance thinks it can be saved.

"Don't be afraid, do it boldly, think about the surgical operation I told you, take out the ammunition and suture to stop the bleeding."

The doctor didn't talk nonsense. Looking at her steady movements, she knew that this guy didn't panic at all, and there was a dagger beside him.

Lance also knew that there was no need to worry about it, he just watched her do it.

Simple over-disinfection, the sharp blade cut across the wound, and the blood spurted out, making the blood-stained coat even more messy.

Faced with this situation, the doctor is still calm, and has no intention of panic, calm as if he was born to eat this bowl of rice...

After a while, the doctor, whose body was covered in blood, especially his dirty hands, came out. He could see some people waiting outside the door, especially the family members of the injured.

"Doctor, how is my husband?" A woman holding a child with tears in her eyes asked eagerly.

She dared to argue with the professor in class, but at this moment she didn't know what to say.

Looking at their hopeful eyes, I couldn't help feeling unprecedented in my heart.

No one can see what's going on under her mask, but her silence also makes the atmosphere tend to be suffocating.

This kind of injury is basically a death sentence. Although everyone is prepared, death still makes everyone uncomfortable.

Especially that woman, who couldn't help crying, made the ignorant child suspicious and asked in that child's voice.

"Mom, what's the matter with father?"

"It's okay kid, he just fell asleep." The woman wiped away her tears and forced a smile to agree.

Now the mood of the people around couldn't help but become heavier, and some people couldn't help comforting: "My lord will take care of you."

"What are you doing here?" Lance rolled up his sleeves and came out, "Don't make noise for the injured to rest, it's enough for his family to come and take care of him."

Lance's words directly reversed the atmosphere of the trial, and they all heard that the man was not dead.

Shocked, joyful... Various emotions emerged in the hearts of different people.

The woman was afraid that she had heard it wrong, so she hurriedly asked.

"My lord, do you think my husband is all right?"

"There must be some injuries, but after being rescued, it will take some time to recover." Lance comforted the family members of the injured, and added to the doctor, "The doctor saved him."

Although it is guaranteed, who wants the death of their family members?

After being confirmed, the woman finally felt relieved and thanked the doctor.

"Thank you doctor!"

All kinds of words of thanks were spoken, but it was still difficult to express the excitement. The doctor who had no scruples did not expect to appear flustered here.

Can't help but look to Lance for help.

"Okay, okay, the doctor still needs to treat other people, so go and take care of the injured."

Lance opened his mouth to disperse those who surrounded him, and at the same time released the news.

Everyone knows that the doctor is amazing!
He was able to save people from death.

It was even a little exaggerated to compare her with those church priests who performed divine spells.

It's just that they are more inclined to doctors, because they have only heard of the priest's magic, and the doctor saves people right in front of their eyes.

At the same time, the priest's magic requires gold coins, but the doctor is invited by the adults, and the adults give money to save their muddy legs.

Lance stepped out of the deck, and there were a dozen pirates who surrendered, all tied up, and some of them were injured.

The wooden ship board touched by the corrosive agent also turned into black charcoal, but fortunately it was not worn.

As for the pirate ship, its sails were unloaded and it was dragged along.

"All the captives were stuffed in the bottom cabin for guarding, and all the corpses were thrown on the pirate ship."

After saying that, Lance jumped on the pirate ship, planning to check it out.

This kind of fast ship does not have a lot of space. After exploring the spiritual horizon, I found treasure in the captain's room, which is only a few dozen gold coins. This amount of money is indeed too little for a pirate in charge of a ship.

Sure enough, for pirates, if they have any money, they will spend all their money. No one knows whether they will see the sun tomorrow, so it is natural to choose to be comfortable every day.

However, some valuable ones were found.

Let's not talk about this fast boat, although it is old and dirty, it can still be used after tidying up.

A nautical chart of the nearby waters, which will be useful for him to understand the surrounding waters.

There is also a sailing diary, which seems to be handwritten by the captain, and even pirates can't do well without literacy.

Simply flip through, it basically records what happened on this ship. In fact, more functions are ledgers, route planning, and recording directions. This is very important, unless you want to get lost in the vast sea.

Hearing the movement behind him, he looked back and found that the doctor had come over.

"Have the wounded been treated?"

"Basically, the other three minor injuries don't even need stitches, just clean up the wound and apply medicine."

The doctor took off the mask and said, suddenly asked a very strange question, "Why did you say that just now?"

Lance closed the diary with a slight smile, looked at her and explained something.

"Because they need confidence."

No matter how talented she is, she has dissected many corpses, but there is a big difference between a stiff and rotten human body, not to mention various factors, so it is obvious that the operation just now failed.

That's why she didn't say a word when she looked at the family members.

But why did Lance dare to let her do it?
Because she can easily treat this kind of physical pain, when she is not sure, she will directly take the injured person back from the hands of death.

Heal the condition of the lungs and leave the trauma for others to see.

If he wants to promote new medical methods, he must let the people understand and let them have confidence in them.

Otherwise, these thoughts are solidified, and it is difficult for people bound by tradition to accept a new thing. It is already a face for him not to roast the doctor like a witch.

What Lance considers is not a person's life, but the impact on the whole, so this operation must be successful, and it must be successful.

For a doctor who pursues the truth, Lance is considered academic fraud, imposing unwarranted honor on himself.

"Those corpses are for you to practice dissection. Those captives are your experimental subjects. You can use them to test medicine or use them to study the human body by biopsy, but you have to quickly come up with a set of surgical procedures for me After the charter comes out, I will start training medical staff."

Of course Lance sensed her opinion, some things can be settled.

Sure enough, his words directly silenced the doctor. Logically, he should argue hard, but with so many experimental subjects for him, there is room for many of his previous ideas to be realized.

It's not easy for her to say anything if she is soft on others, so she has to acquiesce, as long as she does her own thing well.

It's just that she suddenly realized that those are not all corpses, there are some living people, why are they like mice in his mouth?
Thinking of this, the doctor couldn't help frowning, which was obviously different from the way he put on in front of other people.

"There is a price to be paid for doing research, not to mention that those guys only look like humans, but in fact they are not human. Putting kindness on them is an insult to kindness."

Lance said and handed over the diary in his hand.

The doctor took it strangely and simply flipped through it. Looking at the crazy behavior recorded in his own handwriting, he understood what a pirate is.

"I understand~"
