Augustus Under the Horseshoe

Chapter 48 : The Battle of Vichymiris (3)

Painhurs knelt and sat in the center of the canoe, his big pale hands, tightly grasping the wet side of the boat, trying to adapt to the bumpy sea. The icy cold wind set off one after another turbulent dim waves, and the lizardman’s poor wooden boat slapped and creaked.

“Wow!”

It was about the twenty-third wave of cold waves coming head-on, and countless salty waters, like a downpour, splashed inside the crumbling boat. The lizardman squinted his eyes contentedly as he bathed in the wave. It shook every hard scale on his body quickly, a look of enjoyment, splashing water droplets everywhere.

However, Sagittarius is not one of those amphibians and reptiles covered in scales. Most of their bodies are covered by thick hair, just like human hair, they are extremely afraid of sea water!

Pain Hess’s slender and silky silver coat was poured by seawater mixed with a lot of salt and gravel, and it was instantly twisted and entangled, mixed with a lot of rough sand and salt, and it clung to the pale white horse. Above the sensitive skin, the stinging warlock felt uncomfortable. Magnus also complained about the cold and humid environment.

“Please paddle faster! Get ashore! I swear, unless there is a water-shelter cabin, I will never go to sea again in this life!” Painhurs scratched his tangled, wet silver hair, gritted his teeth and said. . The fearlessness of the remaining fifty boats is not much better. The whole body itching makes them more angry and bloodthirsty than usual.

“Be patient! We won’t be able to reach the shore for a while!” The burly and tall Chief Hister grabbed a short spear made of sharp shells with his backhand. “Look at the left! The Ostrogoth’s boats!”

“What?” Painhurs hurriedly raised the composite longbow in his hand-hell, the bowstring was wet by the sea. Become extremely soft and loose.

The pale white horse sighed and quickly took out the spare bowstring from the backpack, but at this moment, the dim sea surface set off a twenty-fourth huge icy wave! Countless sea water falling from the sky submerged itself once again!

No wonder these lizardmen only equipped with javelins!

Painhurs put away the wet and loose composite longbow and hurriedly looked to the left. Above the rough sea, about a dozen hard sailing ships were killed sideways. The center of the sail of the animal skin was painted with blue, yellow, and two-color paint. On the blue bottom symbolizing the sea, painted with the Eastern Goths. The golden crown implying rule. Nearby, more than fifty dilapidated small fishing boats followed. It seems that their fishermen have also joined the fight.

Behind the more than sixty boats, there are three huge double-deck sailboats. The wooden hulls are carved with countless intricate and exquisite patterns by skilled craftsmen and artists. The purple sail is also embroidered with the XP symbol of the Roman Empire with expensive gold thread.

The scariest thing is that on the bow of the double-decker sailing boat, there is a waterproof wooden house that is tightly wrapped in oil leather. Only a small hole was opened at the front end, and through the dark hole, Painhurs vaguely saw a huge spear tip glowing with cold light.

“boom!!”

Suddenly, three double-deck galleys made a loud noise at the same time! Three huge spears with thin arms, tearing through the cold and humid sky at the same time, whizzing, roaring, flying, and cruelly nailed to the lizardman’s canoe under the horrified gaze of everyone!

The huge impact force instantly tore out huge and terrifying cracks like spider webs on the fragile wooden board. The wooden boat let out a terrible scream about to disintegrate, letting the cracks grow bigger and bigger. In the end, it broke into two halves.

The lizardmen were fine, but the bloodthirsty and fearless man in chain mail fell to the bottom of the sea in an instant, and the choking lungs were filled with salty water. Finally, under the desperate pull of dozens of lizardmen, Only barely came to the surface of Shanghai.

Oversized scorpion crossbow for the Navy!

“Dive! Dive! Bypass the Eastern Gothic ships and directly attack the Roman ships!” Hister roared angrily. Lizardmen are strong in water battles, but land battles can only be regarded as ordinary pawns. The number is far less than the Eastern Gothic barbarians, and the quality is very different from the Roman legions. If you don’t transport these elite men and horses behind the city wall, then this leapfrog tactic will be meaningless!

Before long, the two sides had a total of more than 110 sailing and canoes, and they were driving the stormy waves of the Black Sea, getting closer and closer to each other. Hundreds of burly white arms and hundreds of scaly web-like pointed claws. He grabbed a sharp short spear and a javelin, and threw it at his enemy! The opponent’s bow, shield, and even body were riddled with holes, and flesh and blood flew across the board.

Pain Hess grabbed a lizard-man’s skinned wooden shield, defending it against the densely packed locusts, sending out piercing and screaming terror javelins in the air. With a trembling right hand, slowly pulled out an Eastern Gothic iron spear from the lizardman’s corpse. He grabbed the center of the wooden handle of the iron spear diagonally. Bent your arm and raise the spear over your right shoulder. At the moment the iron spear was released, the wrist and fingers were twisted fiercely, and the slender wooden handle that emerged from the other hand was rotated in a clockwise direction along the longitudinal axis!

This rotation greatly maintains the stability of the javelin flying in the air. In addition, while spinning at high speed, it also tore a beautiful curve in the cold air, flying, spinning, and whistling nailed to the wooden shield of the Ostrogoths. The blade instantly tore the thin wooden shield and pierced the barbarian’s chest fiercely!

The horror power attached to the javelin is like a heavy mountain, straight

Then the Eastern Goths blasted off, with a series of shocking red blood flowers, falling on the surface of the sea a few feet away!

The white horse’s breathing gradually calmed down. The right hand that gripped the second short spear was no longer trembling. It turns out that the blood flowing from humans is no different from beasts and monsters.

“hiss!!”

More than five hundred lizardmen uttered a hoarse and sharp roar from deep in their throats. From the bottom of the sea, they bypassed the Eastern Gothic fleet. Roll your own shell weapon with the tip of your tail and use your hands and feet together to try to climb the tall and magnificent double-deck sailboat of the Roman Empire.

However, just as they were about to succeed, a large number of stubborn human soldiers sprang up from both sides of the ship. They brandished spears and threw spears to stab the creeping monster below. Suddenly, countless lizardmen who were blinded by steel blades or stabbed through their throats, like dumplings in a pot, with scarlet blood lines, screamed and fell into the sea again.

Painhurs was bathed in the dense rain of javelins, and looked hard at the soldiers above. The two galleys on the left and right are all coalition forces composed of some half-elf sailors and the Ostrogoth barbarian.

However, in the middle ship, a lot of bright and dazzling scarlet cloaks appeared! The golden eagle emblem, the scarlet eagle flag, and a generous war anthem that I didn’t understand at all, slowly rose up to inspire the morale of everyone nearby!

A centuries of the Roman legion!

“Don’t be in a daze! Hold the ship’s side steady! Prepare for the impact!” Suddenly, the lizardman next to him slapped the pale white horse on the shoulder. Painhurs took a closer look. The two sailing canoes lined up in a line were less than twenty feet apart. However, the paddling movements of the sailors on both sides showed no signs of stopping, on the contrary, they became more and more swift! Let the ship’s speed increase to the peak, and smashed together!

“boom!!”

Along with a earth-shattering boom, the wooden bow shattered under the violent impact, and the chaotic ocean current, engulfed in shattered wood dross, washed away the wide shields of the Eastern Goths and the hard scales of the lizardmen. Painhurs suddenly remembered the jumping machine in the amusement park—the wooden boat under his feet, which was first thrown high in the air by the impact force, and then, with his heart leaping out of his throat, he slammed back into the sea.

Magnus, who was caught off guard, was thrown into the air directly, spinning in the sky, barely regaining his balance, flapping a pair of huge wet wings, and flew back to his familiar shoulders full of swearing.

“Today! We will regroup! Take back our own home! Long live the rotten scales!” After the turmoil ceased, Hister climbed up from the broken canoe again. Raised their arms, hundreds of lizardmen screamed to the sky one after another! Countless pairs of golden vertical pupils shone with terrible light. They uttered a terrible gloomy roar, brandishing weapons and shields made of coral and shells. Stepping on the shattered wooden planks under his feet, he killed the human sailor who was brandishing a buckler and iron axe!

“Long live the rotten scales!!”

Conical sharp shells pierce through the fragile flesh and blood **** of human beings. A heavy steel axe chopped through the wet, solid scales of the reptile. Red blood, broken scales, mixed in the dim ocean tide, are everywhere!

Hist let out a second roar, his long webbed legs kicked fiercely, and the whole person was like a sharp arrow, slamming on the enemy’s wooden shield. The long tail covered with scales instantly curled up the opponent’s ankle and pulled it to the ground. At the same time, the right claw of the Corrupted Chieftain also grabbed a cone-shaped shell spear and pierced the opponent’s fragile throat fiercely!

“Dark green scales, emerald green dorsal fins! It’s the chief of the lizardmen! Kill him, the king will be rewarded!” The Ostrogoths quickly recognized their old rivals, two sailors with two-handed axes. Six holding the harpoon. The fishermen with short spears quickly surrounded the brave and combative Chief Hister.

However, the huge lizardman just sneered. Relying on his hard scales, he resisted the harpoon’s stabbing, one swoop, and two Eastern Gothic sailors, and fell into the cold and dark seabed together! The lizardmen’s ability to hold their breath far exceeds that of humans!

Soon, the dim sea was stained red by a large amount of shocking blood. The powerful and cunning Corrupted Chief, clutching two hideous human heads, drilled out of the rough sea again. The **** crack in the human neck was crooked and uneven. It seemed to be bitten alive by some kind of beast.

“With human blood, we pay homage to our innocent dead compatriots!”

The Corrupted Chief opened his terrifying dragon kiss, exposing a sharp fang full of meat and tendons, and screamed madly.
