Our family is in decline

"What tricks do these pirates have?"

"There is a big net on the back of the sail. The pirates will hang on it. When they get close, they will jump over the net with the help of cables. There will also be a hook thrown over the side of the ship. As long as they hook it, they can climb over with the help of the rope. With good technology, You can even come over directly by stepping on the rope..."

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

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

Extraordinary power is not so casual, or once it leaves that circle, it becomes so rare that many ordinary people have never been exposed to it in their lives...

In the pirate ship, just as the old captain said, there were more than ten or twenty people standing on the back of the canvas, all holding a cable in one hand, and with various weapons in the other hand, either short swords or scimitars. .

And at the bow of the boat, a bearded man with a greasy look on his clothes and a boat hat fiddled with the telescope in his hand and muttered.

"It's really weird, they didn'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 telescope, raised his hand and pointed over there, "Pull the ship over!"

This place is beyond the scope of activities of the Totnes Navy, and that ship is a cargo ship, and it has no artillery, so I am afraid of a hammer!

It's not surprising to see pirates who are scared to death. Have you seen them a few times in so many years? Maybe there is chaos on the ship now.

"We should be rich if we meet today." The bearded man drew out his machete and shouted, "Go ahead at full speed!"

The order was given, and the ship suddenly burst into joy.

"Hahaha!"

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

"Damn it! The fisherman I caught last time was killed by you before I even touched him."

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

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

"Disgusting, so fucking disgusting!"

"What's this! I even saw him running to the sheepfold at night."

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

The topics of pirates are nothing more than money, women, and alcohol. They are not bound by secular rules. Years of crazy behavior have made them lose the last of their humanity. To a certain extent, they are no longer human.

In those vulgar words, the speed of the ship gradually increased, and the distance to the cargo ship became closer and closer. Their topic also turned to killing, and their faces were all 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 manner, but of course they ask for more.

As the ship approached, Big Beard did not go crazy, but continued to observe. As the captain, he must ensure the harvest of this trip.

If things go wrong at the slightest degree, he will pull the flag and run away.

But he saw a strange scene. There were only four people on the deck. Are they all hiding below?

At first glance, that pretty boy seems to be the owner of the ship.

Barbarian woman? No matter how big the weapon is, it doesn't matter.

Wearing fancy clothes, what can you do with just a knife?

And an old guy?

You are the only ones who want to negotiate with me?

The bearded man was originally worried that it was a trap, but after looking back and forth several times, he found that there were only four old, weak, sick and disabled people on board, and his vigilance gradually slowed down.

Damn it, just do it!

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

"Young boys, keep that pretty boy for me, and kill the others!"

The captain's majesty is vividly reflected. If other pirates said this, they would definitely make fun of them, but now no pirates dare to make fun of the captain. It is precisely this kind of high pressure that kills and plunders are needed to calm the pain and turn despair and suffering away. Transferred to others.

The ship inserted into the starboard side from the oblique side, and the skillful operation brought the two ships closer than four or five meters.

At this moment, many hooks and locks were thrown from the ship, and the sails turned, revealing the pirates standing on the big sail behind, swinging over with the help of cables.

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

But the ship is moving, and this thing also has huge risks. Some people who are not skilled in technology fall directly into the sea, or fail to control the height and fall directly, or hit the boat pole and fall directly to death.

But Lance and others couldn't care so much, because the hook lock on the pirate ship had been firmly hooked on the starboard side. Some pirates crawled over, and the sturdy bearded captain actually stepped on a rope and climbed up in a few steps. Jumping onto the deck of a cargo ship, showing extraordinary agility.

"Hahahaha! Run away~"

"I'm coming in!"

"Woman! Woman! Without a woman I will die!"

"kill!"

They looked for any enemy in front of them, and then waved their weapons towards them. They were all crazy and only wanted to kill.

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

"ah!"

The space on the ship is narrow, especially the cabin, so it can be seen that the weapons in their hands are basically short-range weapons, but coupled with their ferocity, it gives the enemy a great shock. Once they are close without guards, they can withstand crazy attacks.

But today they faced the same spear guards who were not afraid of death.

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

The gap was too obvious. With several guns poking out, the pirates had no place to escape, and they couldn't attack with the weapons in their hands.

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

For a while, there were casualties in the melee.

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

loyalty! ! !

But the battle on the deck showed a one-sided trend. Whatever good equipment the pirates had, they were all light armor or no armor.

And these are the best targets for Boudica.

When she saw the pirate, she was so excited that she picked up her weapon and rushed forward, leaving the group directly.

The halberd slashed, leaving nothing but stumps and broken arms. No pirate could get close to her. Looking at her crazy look, she even overran the pirates.

Her posture directly attracted the bearded man's attention. Seeing her overwhelming everyone by herself, he couldn't help but feel frightened. These barbarians were indeed ruthless.

But he was not an ordinary person. He immediately shouted and rushed forward.

"Barbarian! Your opponent is me."

Boudica still had a smile on her face, and the chops brought her intense pleasure, which directly dispelled the depression she had been feeling these days.

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

"Big guy!" The bearded man rushing towards him attracted her attention. She was not satisfied with facing these miscellaneous fish. She longed for a more powerful opponent.

“waaagh!!!”

She subconsciously shouted the war cry of the tribe, and the halberd was already slashing at the bearded man, and the two were fighting.

The doctor didn't expect this woman to be so powerful. If she came to catch him that night, he might be dead with a halberd, and it would be his turn to meet him.

The old captain was also a little frightened. He didn't expect that this barbarian guard was so strong. No wonder he didn't care about those pirates.

But Lance didn't pay much attention to it. There might be strong men among the pirates, but most of them were just like the bandits. If Boudica couldn't defeat them, those extraordinary creatures would be eaten in vain.

But he was even more anxious about another thing. Gunshots rang out, and a huge sense of crisis enveloped him.

Do you fucking know how much it costs to injure a guard?

"Protect the doctor!" At this time, Lance didn't care about fishing. He rushed over to the pirates before they could get close, waving his sword in his hand.

Compared to Boudica's exaggeration, Lance is like an efficient killing machine. The strength of the elite here is directly higher than who knows how many levels.

They kept an eye on the pirates with muskets all the way, chopping melons and vegetables, leaving them wailing.

The doctor and the old captain who were following behind were dumbfounded. It turned out that he was the worst?

However, both reacted and brandished their weapons to deal with the pirates.

I have to say that the doctor's skills are quite good. Dealing with one or two pirates is not a problem. I don't know how she learned this as a college student.

The old captain's body does not have the strength of a young man, but his years of hard work are not much different, not to mention his experience. The scimitar is experienced and vicious, cutting open the bodies of each pirate.

It's true that pirates are crazy, but this kind of madness comes at a price, that is, they pour violence on others instead of others beating themselves up.

Only blood can calm their madness.

Sometimes it was the blood of the enemy, but now it was my own blood.

They soon discovered that they couldn't beat them, and after the enthusiasm, they were afraid. Seeing the companions who had just joked with them fall down, although there was not much real affection between the pirates, they still felt like they were dying.

No, I have to run.

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

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

But pirates never had martial virtues. They fended off the halberd with their scimitars, then reached out and took out the muskets from their waists and pointed them at them.

A cruel smile appeared on his face, suffer death!

Boudica was also experienced in battles, so how could she not know the power of this thing? She was not stupid, how could she watch him do it.

"Ouch!"

With a savage roar, the bearded man felt a cruel and bloody aura rushing towards his face. Fear actually arose in his heart, and his hand movements could not help but pause.

But Boudicca's movements did not stop. He slashed with his halberd and cut off his spear and hand.

"ah!"

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

No, we must find a way.

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

If he can't outrun the enemy, then he just needs to run faster than his companions. But after this battle, no crew member is willing to believe him, even among the notorious pirates.

But now I don’t care about so much, I want to escape for my life first.

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

But there were too many escaping enemies, and the side of the ship was too small. As he was about to get back to the ship after pulling away, a bottle was thrown out, smashing it directly and spilling a thick light green fluid.

"Ah!" A burst of green smoke rose from the crowd.

Several people in that area were stained by the corrosive agent, and their clothes and flesh could not stop them in the slightest. Their flesh and blood melted away, revealing dense white bones, and even the bones became crispy and rotten.

Hiss~ It’s so terrifying!

Even the beard was affected, and his thigh was touched by the splashing acid. Although it was not too serious, it still seemed to be burned, and his flexible movements stopped.

And this moment was eternity. Boudica's vigorous figure came forward, and the halberd was swung from bottom to top like a steel swan raising its head high, and the head was cut in half by the contact of the blade.

"Put down your weapons and 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, they all dropped their weapons and raised their hands in the air to signal surrender.

The reason is simple, those who surrender slowly will be killed.

Boudica, who had just killed the bearded man here, was slightly 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 hands in surrender.

The man was not lucky. If he had been slower, he would have died. It felt like escaping from death, which was more exciting than grabbing a million dollars.

It’s not that no one tried to go back and leave, but these pirates used all their strength to firmly hold the cargo ship. It was these hooks that connected the two. How could they be untied in a short time? Even if the dense ropes were cut, they had to be cut. long time.

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

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 was relatively low, and the lead bullets were soft, and the debris he arranged to pile on it blocked the attacks of the musketeers. Even if it was not completely blocked, the power was greatly weakened.

Not to mention that if he rushes up from behind to kill those guys, there will be no chance for a second round.

The seriously injured one was a bit unlucky, a bullet penetrated the debris and hit his chest.

"Bring him into the room quickly and perform surgery immediately."

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

And turned around to tell the captain.

"Go and notify the ship behind that the battle is over, and ask them to come over to help. At the same time, arrange for people to unlock the hook locks, but be careful of the pirates on the ship and don't go in."

After a quick explanation, he followed and entered the room.

The injured suffered excessive blood loss and injured his lungs, and had already fallen into a coma and lost consciousness.

Logically speaking, he could be sentenced to death and then given a knife to relieve the pain, but Lance felt that he could still be saved.

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

The doctor didn't talk nonsense. Looking at her steady movements, he knew that this guy was not panicked at all, and there was a dagger for cutting people next to him.

Lance also knew that there was nothing to worry about, he just watched her do it.

After a simple over-sterilization, the sharp blade scratched the wound, and the blood immediately bled out, making the blood-stained coat even more messy.

Faced with this situation, the doctor remained calm and had no intention of panic. He was as calm as if he was born to eat this kind of rice...

After a while, the doctor, whose body was stained with blood, especially his 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 her child with tears in her eyes asked eagerly.

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

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

No one can see the expression behind 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.

The woman in particular couldn't help but shed tears, causing the ignorant child to have doubts and ask in that childlike voice.

"Mom, what's wrong with father?"

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

At this time, the mood of everyone around him couldn't help but become heavier. Some people couldn't help but comforted: "My lord will take care of you."

"What are you doing here?" Lance rolled up his sleeves and walked out. "Don't bother the injured to rest. His family members can just come and take care of him."

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

Shock, joy... various emotions emerged in the hearts of different people.

The woman was afraid that she had heard wrongly, so she quickly asked.

"My lord, do you think my husband is fine?"

"There are definitely injuries, but it will take some time to recover after being rescued." Lance comforted the injured family members, looked at the doctor and added, "It was the doctor who rescued him."

Although there is protection, who wants their family members to die?

After getting the confirmation, the woman finally felt relieved and thanked the doctor.

"Thank you doctor!"

Various words of thanks were spoken, but it was still difficult to express his excitement. The unscrupulous doctor did not expect to appear panicked here.

He couldn't help but look to Lance for help.

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

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

Everyone agrees that doctors are great!

He can actually save people from death.

She was even exaggeratedly compared to those church priests who used magical powers.

It's just that they all prefer doctors, because they have only heard of the priest's magical skills, and the doctor saves people right in front of their eyes.

At the same time, the priest's magic requires gold coins, and the doctor is invited by the adults, and the adults give money to save these idiots.

Lance walked out of the deck. There were more than a dozen pirates who had surrendered. They were all tied up, and some of them were injured.

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

As for the pirate ship, its sails were removed and dragged along.

"The prisoners were all stuffed into the bottom cabin and put under guard, and the bodies were all thrown onto the pirate ship."

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

The space of this kind of clipper ship is not large. I opened my spiritual vision and walked around, and found a treasure of only a few dozen gold coins in the captain's cabin. This amount of money is indeed small for a pirate in charge of a ship.

Sure enough, for pirates, if they have money, they have to spend it all. No one knows whether they will see the sun tomorrow, so they naturally choose to be comfortable one day at a time.

However, I did find some valuable ones.

Let’s not talk about this clipper. Although it is old and dirty, it can still be used after tidying up.

A nautical chart of the nearby sea, which is very useful for him to understand the surrounding sea.

There is also a voyage diary, which seems to be written in the captain's hand. Even a pirate cannot do well without knowing how to read.

If you look through it briefly, it basically records what happened on the ship. In fact, its more functions are account books, 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 saw that the doctor had come over.

"Have those injured been taken care of?"

"The other three minor injuries basically don't even require stitches. Just clean the wounds and apply medicine."

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

Lance closed the diary, smiled, looked at her and explained.

"Because they need confidence."

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

That's why she met the family members' eyes and didn't speak.

But why did Lance dare to let her do it?

Because she can easily treat such physical injuries, when she is unsure, she directly takes action to snatch the injured person back from the hands of death.

Heal the lung condition and leave the trauma for others to see.

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

Otherwise, these people's thinking is solidified, and it is difficult for people who are bound by tradition to accept a new thing. Not roasting the doctor as a witch is already giving him face.

Lance was not thinking about one 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's behavior can be regarded as academic fraud, imposing unwarranted honors on himself.

"Those corpses are for you to practice anatomy. Those captives are your experimental subjects. You can use them to test medicines or use them to dissect the human body alive. But you have to quickly come up with a set of surgical procedures for me." When the charter comes out, I’m going to start training medical staff.”

Of course Lance was aware of her opinion, and some things could be settled.

As expected, his words immediately silenced the doctor. Logically, he should argue his case, but with so many experimental subjects for him, many of his previous ideas had room to be realized.

She couldn't say anything to take advantage of others, so she had to acquiesce and just do her own thing well.

But she suddenly realized that those were not all corpses, but some living people. Why were they like mice in his mouth?

Thinking of this, the doctor couldn't help but frown. This was obviously different from the way he looked in front of others.

"There is a price to pay for research after all. What's more, those guys only look like humans, but in fact they are not human beings. You are insulting mercy by showing kindness to them."

Lance said, handing over the diary in his hand.

The doctor strangely took it and flipped through it. Looking at the crazy acts recorded on it, he understood what a pirate was.

"I understand~"
