Chapter 28 - 028 Raid on 2

The warning from Charlie broke the calm of the night."Who?!" The guard let out a stern shout, and a movement triggered a chain reaction, with the adjacent room also rustling with sounds, and some students directly pushing open the windows to look outside.This sudden situation had obviously disrupted the deployment of the unknown enemy, and a shrill whistle was heard from outside the ship, as if it was a signal.Suddenly, a dazzling red light flashed hundreds of meters away, illuminating the surrounding sea for several kilometers, and a dark ship appeared in the distance.Charlie suddenly woke up, but before he could react, a thunderous explosion sounded overhead, the ship body shook violently, and the walls were torn apart by the mighty force, shards and water splashes were everywhere, instantly driving away the drunken feeling.Qian Xue let out a muffled scream and fell to the ground on her back, unable to get up for a long time.The Gusta brothers were directly knocked down and sat on the ground, their hands supporting them, with wooden splinters piercing their flesh and blood flowing profusely, their teeth gritting in pain."Stick to the wall!" Charlie shouted and pulled the few of them to the corner of the wall to support each other and temporarily stabilize their bodies. His brain was moving at lightning speed.The biggest threat at the moment was the cannon shells. The initial barrage was to weaken the defensive force. If the enemy sought treasure, they would certainly not sink this ship, so the cannon fire was only temporary. If they could get through this round of bombardment, there would be a chance to survive.The next moment, Charlie made a judgment: "Go to the cabin first! Hurry!"A group of people stumbled out of the room, and the corridor was already a mess. Cannon shells had fallen on the central part of the wooden house, collapsing several rooms in the middle, leaving a large hole in the floor of the corridor, with all kinds of debris and beams collapsing down below, a complete mess.Charlie frowned, it was really one misfortune after another, the path was blocked.A chubby boy from the neighboring room was a bit unlucky, a broken wooden stake hit him in the neck, tearing his neck, with blood gushing out, and he was tilting his head, gasping for breath like a fish on dry land, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get a single breath of air, only blowing out a series of blood bubbles from his neck, his hands desperately covering the bleeding wound, but to no avail, his eyes full of despair.No hope of rescue.Vomit!Qian Xue suddenly bent over, letting out a violent dry heave, and Qing Yong quickly comforted her on the back.Colin questioned, "Where are the guardian teachers? Why haven't they taken action yet?"As soon as Colin spoke, the ship body shook violently again, the surrounding waters were turbulent, and a huge meteor streaked into the sky, heading straight for the distant black ship.However, along the trajectory of the red light, it could be seen that it missed, the dark night provided the enemy with natural camouflage, and that black ship had moved several hundred meters after firing the first cannon shell.How cunning!Boom! The meteor fell and exploded in the seawater, raising a towering wave.David anxiously asked, "What do we do? Not to mention whether it will move or not, there's no visibility in the dark night, we can't hit it at all!""Crouch down!" Charlie whispered, pulling the group down.The next moment, a hunched figure climbed up on the side of the ship, wearing a tattered jacket with various odds and ends hanging all over it, some metal chains, some cloth scraps, the exposed parts revealing black bony organs, appearing human-like yet not quite human.At this time, the room to the right of the five crouching people let out a loud noise, the broken door panel was smashed open, and a bleeding head popped out, seeing the people crouching at the door, a look of joy appeared on his face, about to speak.Whoosh!An arrow flew in the blink of an eye, piercing through the temple, pinning the student directly to the doorframe, the feathered shaft violently swaying, testament to its tremendous power.The latter's eyes were wide open, dying without closing them, the boundary between life and death was just a fleeting moment, and a vibrant life was gone.Charlie shouted, "Prepare for battle!"While issuing the warning, Charlie himself entered a crisis combat state, which was the first time he had gone all out since coming to this world, and the chip in his consciousness recorded the startup log of the crisis combat mode.Battle Assistance Mode ActivatedLoad Visual Analysis ModuleStart Sound FilteringPain Sense Blocked 30%Adjust Adrenaline Secretion...A series of prompts completed, and Charlie felt that his personal energy, thinking ability, reaction speed, and overall state had entered his personal peak condition.The incantation for the second-tier water magic 'Water Mist' spilled from his lips, and with a wave of his wand, a dense water vapor was pushed out, smashing onto the floor, scattering in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, the student dormitory area was shrouded in a thick fog, with hardly five fingers visible."Well done!" David couldn't help but praise.Shh!Qing Yong gestured with his hand to be quiet, imitating Charlie's technique and throwing down a mist spell, enveloping a third of the stern space.Both sides' vision was obscured, which was quite fair, but Qing Yong knew this was only a temporary measure, what to do next was still a big question.Then her gaze fell on Charlie's cold and rational eyes, and a chill rose from her heart, making her shudder."Are you... alright?"Charlie smiled at her, indicating that he was fine. In fact, before releasing the mist spell, he had already scanned the entire layout of the damaged student dormitory area into his mind, and through his hearing, he could clearly locate the position of the enemy and his cover.Suddenly, Charlie began to chant the spell without any warning, and an orange-red fireball formed in his palm, the Fire Ball Spell, a standard second-tier magic, the most powerful and difficult to control among the second-tier magic. It was the symbol of whether a junior mage was powerful or not.Because it needs to undergo high-intensity compression of the fire element before it can form, it has an extremely high demand on mental power, and many junior mages can only master the Fire Ball Spell after reaching the third tier.Qing Yong was slightly moved and asked, "Why didn't you use this spell when you fought Danian?"Colin was also puzzled: "Yeah! The damage of the Fire Ball Spell is much stronger than the Arcane Missile, the Arcane Missile is too easy to resist, you can't say you didn't need to go all out to deal with him, right!""I have Qian Xue to thank for that."Seeing the ambiguous expressions of the Gusta brothers, Qian Xue pointed at her own nose, indicating innocence and bewilderment."Just learned it, first time using it." Charlie smiled and threw the fireball out, the red light flashing, and the mist it passed through was vaporized, the fireball accurately hitting a humanoid monster tens of meters away, the scorching fire waves splashing in all directions, instantly enveloping it into a ball of fire, emitting a series of piercing screams.David clicked his tongue and gave a thumbs up, praising, "Amazing! Releasing a second-tier magic just like that, I really can't believe you're just a magic apprentice!"Whoosh! Whoosh!!Two feathered arrows shot out from the mist, embedding themselves in the beams next to the five of them, startling David with cold sweat.Then, a few hurried shouts that they couldn't understand came from the mist, seemingly calling for reinforcements.Charlie continuously chanted two Fire Ball Spells, firing them in different directions, not caring about the outcome of the Fire Ball Spell, and directly pushed open the door on the right, making the next decision."This way!" Charlie urged the still bewildered students.Charlie then gently closed the eyes of the student pinned to the doorframe, and the five of them crawled through the torn wall panels towards the middle of the ship.Colin took the student's wand, saying, "Brother, I'm sorry, rest in peace! I'll use your gear to avenge you!"Boom! A series of explosions and collapses, intermingled with cries of pain, it seemed that the Fire Ball Spell had achieved remarkable results.As they walked, Charlie explained his intention: "The enemy has already boarded the ship, they shouldn't be shelling anymore, we'll go to the bow and try to rendezvous with the teachers."No one objected to this decision.Sounds of things being knocked over were transmitted from the mist from time to time, Charlie's brows twitched, but he did not strike again.Qing Yong couldn't help but look up, seeing Charlie's cold and rational gaze, and a chill rose in her heart, "You... can hear their positions, can't you?"Charlie nodded and said, "Yes, three in front, two behind, they've become more cunning, hiding behind cover, I can't hit them."Charlie didn't deliberately hide anything from his friends.Colin whispered in surprise, "You can actually pinpoint their exact locations? That's terrifying!"Charlie gestured for his companions to listen to the commotion in the distance, the sound of explosions, shouts, and screams were heard from the front, the battle was raging.Charlie expressed his thoughts, "The battle up front is raging fiercely, if we rashly charge in, not only will we not be able to help, but we may also be affected by magic and explosions. I suggest we first clear up the rear area, try to rescue as many students as possible, and then attempt to support the front line. What do you think?"Colin looked at the two girls and his own brother and said, "Charlie, your vision should be more broad, just give the orders and we'll listen to you."The remaining three all expressed that they had no objections.After the battle began, the performance of these elite magic students was disappointing. A single artillery attack only killed one or two people, and the rest were killed by the strange pirates who had boarded the ship. Facing such a crisis, the students' first reaction was not to avoid and hide, but to open the windows to look at the situation, which was simply suicidal, without any safety precautions.The companions around Charlie, except for Qing Yong, whose performance was barely satisfactory, the others were still in a state of bewilderment. After the initial shock, Qing Yong began to cast spells and actually helped Charlie, while the Gusta brothers were still at a loss, and as for Qian Xue, she was even more clueless, not even knowing what to do next, nor did she know what the worst-case scenario would be.However, objectively speaking, for a group of children under the age of ten, it's really hard to ask for more. Next, he could only work a little harder.Thinking about this, Charlie sighed quietly, holding back the impatient Qian Xue, and said solemnly, "Don't move around, we're now fighting the enemy, this is not a game, if we get caught, the consequences will be terrible, especially for girls."Qian Xue's pale face flushed slightly, seemingly understanding the implied meaning in Charlie's words, and she was not a completely naive little girl.
