Micro-torpedoes? Right, the pirate ship is a modified military vessel. Not only micro-torpedoes, but they might even have large torpedoes that could blow up military vessels. If they were to shoot a torpedo at our ship and sink us, what could we do?

Big Pineapple seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly looked defeated. Then he noticed that everyone on the boat looking at him oddly.

Why are you looking at me like that? Big Pineapple asked suspiciously.

Its impossible that they would fire a normal torpedo because, for pirates, the most valuable thing is the cruise ship itself, the mutton-chopped NPC Chief Officer explained to Big Pineapple. So why would they ever blow it up? What they want to do is catch up with us and board our ship to kidnap everyone before taking the ship back to their base.

Sh*t. So I worried for nothing Then, you guys continue! said Big Pineapple in embarrassment.

Based on the range of the Six-barrelled Electromagnetic Railgun, said Neutron Star, without accounting for losses of ammunition, we can probably take them out directly at the 300-meter range. These assault boats arent much of a threat.

The electromagnetic railgun cant be used! Red Queen said.

Whats the problem?

The electromagnetic railgun was destroyed, explained the mutton-chopped Chief Officer. Not only that, but the 40mm close-in cannon above it also seem to have a problem. The group of pirates who arrived earlier was here specifically to destroy the ships defensive weapons!

Big Pineapple touched his helmet in annoyance. This is why I really hate encountering humanoid monsters. We need to pit our IQ against them!

Red Queen immediately made a decision. The micro-torpedoes will only be fired after they get within 250 meters. At least that still leaves us with sufficient time to deal with them. I can take care of one of the assault boats. Black Panther, Mr. Feng, the other two will be left to you!

A golden staff over 1.5 meters long appeared in her hands. The surface of the staff was carved with complex patterns. On top of it, there was a Fire Energy Crystal that was about the size of the fist. The entire thing looked like a combination of science fiction and fantasy, and it was quite captivating. Feng Luo thought that compared to Red Queens staff, the Heart of Fire that he had seen a few days at the Nightless City auction was like a burning stick. It was 100 percent a piece of Rare equipment!

Im fine! Black Panther nodded quietly and grabbed his sniper rifle before heading to find a sniping spot.

Im also fine! said Feng Luo.

Old Feng, do you need cover? Big Pineapple asked. He and Feng Luo were both hired guns, so after a day of interacting with each other, they got along quite well.

Feng Luo nodded. Help cover me a bit. The pirates on the ship might have guns!

The assault boats that the pirates rode were really quick. They were as ferocious as three sharks pursuing their prey, and within a few minutes, the had already gotten within 1,000 meters of the cruise ships range.

By now, it was clear that each assault boat carried six pirates. All of them were brandishing their blades or AKs, occasionally firing into the air.

Bang!

When the first assault boat reached around 1,200 meters, Feng Luos M110 fired its first shot.

Shooting when theyre still so far away?

Big Pineapple heard some gunshots and showed some doubts as he stood slightly in front of Feng Luo while raising an alloy shield, his other hand on the binoculars to observe the scene. However, within his field of vision through the binoculars, after around one second, the windshield in front of the driver of the assault boat shattered as if hit by a hammer. Cracks like a spider web appeared on the transparent glass pane.

This shooting range Its so far! Surprised flashed past Big Pineapples eyes.

Clearly, the windshield in front of the assault boat was quite bulletproof, so Feng Luos shot did not have too many effects. However, Feng Luo was not anxious. Instead, he took out the normal armor-piercing bullet magazine from the M110 and switched it to the destructive double armor-piercing round.

Bang!

724

The effect of the double armor-piercing round was much better than the normal one. This shot punctured a fist-sized hole in the windshield of the assault boat before hitting the chest of a pirate, dealing around 700 white damage.

After that, Feng Luos sniper rifle did not stop firing. It continued to fire at a steady rate. Double armor-piercing rounds were fired one after another at the first assault boat.

It was not until the tenth shot rang out with a bangthat the tempered glass of the windshield of the assault boat shattered. And by then, the second assault boat had already entered the 1,000-meter range.

Bang!

A gunshot came from the top of the two men. The windshield of the second pirate assault boat lost a huge chunk as a blue bullet hit it.

Black Panther crouched and leaned against a railing on top of the ships observation deck. The sniper rifle in his hands changed automatically into grayish-brown under to match the environment. It seemed to have merged with his combat uniform. The bullets he fired were all illuminated with a light blue glow.

Damn, Old Feng. The bullets that dead fish face uses are higher-grade than yours, Big Pineapple said, gloating a little. His one shot was enough to break a chunk of that glass!

Its 100 percent a C-grade bullet, Feng Luo said. The average price is 300 credits per shot. The key is that its not available at the Exchange. Theres no way Im going to be so charitable and use these things to kill small fries.

Feng Luos face remained unchanged, and while they spoke, he fired another shot.

Bang!

2295

As the tempered glass of the windshield had already broken, the double armor-piercing rounds first attack punctured the defense of the pirates combat uniform. Following that, the second hit was weak-point damage that took care of the rest of its HP.

Bang!

On the other side, Black Panther fired another shot, which shattered another huge chunk of the glass of the second assault boat.

It seemed that what Feng Luo had spent ten shots to accomplish was accomplished by someone else in two to three shots.

Its not just the bullets, Feng Luo guessed in his mind. Theres also a gap in the weapons. His is a Rare-grade sniper rifle!

None of the players on the ship were normal.

Neutron Star possessed a talent that increased normal damage. Paired with his dual-wielding quick combat style, he could ensure that he would not be like an average Light Armor Warrior whose combat strength would diminish substantially when they ran out of MP; his ability to fight on continuously was shocking.

As for the healing pack that White Crescent had thrown earlier, it had actually recovered one-third of Neutron Stars HP instantly. It was important to note that even though a Light Armor Warrior of Neutron Stars level used offensive equipment, his HP was not lower than 6,000. This meant that White Crescent had the ability to instantly heal at least 2,000 HP.

This was no simple matter. In War, HP recovery was not as fast as in normal games. The D-grade blood tonic, for example, could recover a total of 1,000 HP, and the recovery rate was only 50 HP per second; one would need 20 seconds to fully realize its effects. Moreover, there was a long cooldown time.

Even the C-grade military blood tonic that could be exchanged using Medal Points which he had used in the Town of Exiles could only instantly recover 500 HP. White Crescents healing pack, however, had instantly recovered four times the amount of the C-grade blood tonic.

Even if Doctors received special bonuses for using medicines and recovery items, there was no way the bonus could reach such an exaggerated level. The only explanation was that White Crescents skills or talent had a huge bonus effect on instant recovery. On this point alone, White Crescent already surpassed most other Doctor players.

As for Big Pineapple, even though he did not look particularly reliable, based on the previous situation, when he had only lost around one-fourth of his HP after standing against the AKs shots without taking his shield out, it was clear that his defense was crazy. For a Heavy Armor Warrior, it was, without a doubt, the most important ability.

As for Glazed Ice, when they had fought the Stingray the day before, she had displayed an amazing, Rare skill.

Apart from Red Queen, who hadnt done much yet, everyone on the ship had the strength to beat average Elite players.
