Episode 127
Lee Su-ho seemed to have never dreamed that someone would shoot him.
The arrows were flying at me, but I couldn’t move at all.
The arrow was about to pierce Lee Su-ho as if it were an unavoidable fate.
But at that moment, a man popped out.
He raised his sword and struck down the flying arrow.
The man’s intervention was bold and perfectly timed.
And it was full of power and restraint, just like the martial arts moves performed by masters in martial arts movies.
The man’s sword struck the back of the arrow exactly.
However, the speed of the long arrow was extremely fast, and the distance to Lee Su-ho was also too close.
Although the arrow’s trajectory was off, the long arrow passed by Lee Su-ho’s shoulder.
“iced coffee!”
Lee Su-ho fell down screaming, but he only suffered a cut and no serious injuries.
“What’s that guy?”
Bomi, who was preparing to perform a hit ceremony with her hands clenched into fists, shouted in panic.
Jinman stopped shooting and said.
“Bruce Lee?”
The man who shot the arrow was wearing a white tank top and black sweatpants.
In addition to his attire, his disheveled hair somehow reminded him of Bruce Lee.
By the way, was such a person on board a combat fishing boat?
He looked very different from the other pirates dressed in battle attire.
Bomi grumbled, not liking the man who interrupted her.
“Damn it! What kind of Bruce Lee is Bruce Lee! Looking at his clothes and his hair, he looks like a slave captured by pirates. Where did he come from?”
It seemed like Bomi had never seen a fake Bruce Lee before.
But when I searched my memory, I could find Bruce Lee on the boat from the beginning, as if I was playing a hidden picture game.
However, I didn’t pay attention because I wasn’t a combatant.
Oh! Now that I think about it, I think I made a strange gesture.
As the projectiles flew towards him, Bruce Lee twisted both his hands in a strange way and pointed at them as if he was shooting a blast of wind.
What if it wasn’t an item that caused the bullet to misfire, but Bruce Lee’s power?
But the truth was unknown.
Bomi aimed her long arrow at Lee Su-ho again.
I was about to tell Bomi not to take her life, but somehow I had a feeling that it wouldn’t be necessary.
“Damn it! Let’s see if I can stop you this time too.”
The arrow flew towards Lee Su-ho, who was holding his injured shoulder.
Contrary to Bomi’s expectations, this time Bruce Lee struck the longbow with a spear again.
Then he flicked his nose with his thumb.
What the heck, are you really Bruce Lee?
Although it was absurd, he was really skilled as he was able to strike the long arrow again.
“Okay. That’s what it came out as.”
Bommie, who was furious, took out a handful of arrows from her quiver and started shooting them.
Because of its weight and size, it didn’t fire at the rate of an automatic rifle, but it fired arrows at intervals approaching rapid fire.
Bruce Lee danced as he swatted away the flying arrows.
The conclusion has been reached.
It was a waste of arrows to keep shooting.
“Bomi! Let’s give up on this butler and deal with the guys trying to get in first.”
Before we knew it, the combat fishing boat was approaching Lake Halla.
The pirates swung ropes with hooks over their heads and threw them toward the Hallasan Mountain.
The hook flew in an arc and caught the boat’s bow.
Jinman tried to run to stop the pirates from landing.
However, the battleships, as if they had known this would happen, focused their fire on Jinman.
Jinman couldn’t move an inch.
“Bomi, bullets don’t have eyes, so be careful. I’ll be back soon.”
I pushed Bomi back and ran towards the hook.
As I approached the hook, the bullets that had been aimed at Jinman all turned towards me.
But I had a golden shield that nothing could pierce.
And only Jin, whose restraint had disappeared, provided covering fire.
Not only that, Nurse Jang, who was in the watchtower, also fired her crossbow.
Thanks to this, I was able to cut the hook before the pirates could get over it.
Although their first attempt at anchoring failed, the pirates were not discouraged and calmly prepared for the next attempt.
At first glance, they were clearly the elite of the elite.
They were wearing full gear used to crack down on illegal fishing boats, including shields, helmets, sword-proof vests, and sword-proof gloves, and their firepower included automatic rifles, axes, machetes, Japanese swords, and what appeared to be homemade spears.
Above all, the appearance of not backing down or panicking was the appearance of a veteran.
I could feel on my skin that the real fight was about to begin.
In addition, Lee Su-ho, who had his injured shoulder bandaged, started conducting again.
“All-out attack! Throw the ropes simultaneously and cross the bridge!”
Although Lee Su-ho’s voice was still thin and harsh for a commander, it was appropriate for giving orders.
The sporadic attacks began to take place in an orderly manner.
“Stop firing all at once, and start dispersed fire! Left column, focus on the 6 o’clock target. Right column, fire at the 3 o’clock target. Don’t give anyone a chance! The hill is ahead, so let’s all do our best!”
The pirates opened fire and threw six grappling hooks.
And he erected a bridge made of planks.
I had to run around trying to block the flying hooks.
“Commence the advance!”
As soon as the hook was caught on the side of the Hallasan ship, Lee Su-ho shouted.
The pirates hung on the ropes and held their legs and bodies close to the ropes as if they were jumping from an airplane.
Then he pulled the rope with his hand and moved forward.
Although it had a snail-like shape, its advance speed was not that slow.
My movements also became faster.
Although the fire was concentrated, I managed to cut the rope of the nearest hook with my knife.
Then, the pirates who were climbing over the rope fell into the sea.
Lee Su-ho shouted.
“Small sacrifices are unavoidable for victory. Don’t look back and move forward! If we fail to capture that ship, we will all sink together! All attack!”
Everyone was clinging to the rope and the landing bridge, except for the injured Lee Su-ho and Bruce Lee who seemed uninterested in the landing.
Lee Su-ho ran around here and there, encouraging his subordinates.
“There are only four people on board that ship. And two of them are women. If even one person gets on board, it’s no different from our ship.”
If just one person comes over, they call it their ship?
They really look at us like fools.
And you don’t even know that one of the two women is a shrine maiden.
As if she had read my mind, or was offended by the word woman, Bomi switched her bow to a short bow and fired consecutive shots at the rope.
The arrows did not target the pirates riding the rope.
Aimed at the rope.
Wouldn’t it be better to just hit the pirates, the rope would be as hard as aligning a buttonhole?
At first, Bomi’s arrow passed far past the target, not even near the rope.
But the more I shot, the closer the arrow got to the rope.
And just as it was barely passing the rope, the arrow finally pierced through it and broke the rope.
“iced coffee!”
The pirates riding on the rope fell into the sea, screaming.
Wow! This is totally Robin Hood.
Bomi developed further through practical experience.
Even the women those guys ignore fight so well, so I can’t lose.
This time I aimed for the landing gear instead of the rope.
The landing gear was lowered, and the hook at the end of the bridge was secured to the bow of the Hallasan ship.
The pirates quickly ran up the bridge.
“Guard the bridge! Stop that guy!”
Valid! Valid! Bang! Bang!
At Lee Su-ho’s direction, the pirates focused their fire on me.
And the guy running towards the bridge fired a grenade launcher at me.
I hurriedly tried to block the flying grenade with my shield.
But wait a minute!
A good idea suddenly popped into my head.
He swung the shield he had raised lightly and smoothly as if he was playing tennis.
The grenade flew gracefully over the net like a tennis ball, landing squarely at the feet of the oncoming pirate.
The pirate was startled and tried to run away.
As I hurriedly turned around, my colleagues were running towards me and pushing me from behind.
The grenade exploded with a loud ‘bang!’ right in front of his feet, which were stuck in there like a hamburger patty.
The pirates following him fell into the sea.
Some of the pirates who were following were able to survive by lying down on the bridge when the grenade exploded.
But I couldn’t come to my senses due to the shock.
The only thing that was fortunate for them was that their bridge was not cut off by the grenade.
“Wake up! Your legs are fine! Get up and advance again!”
Lee Su-ho shouted loudly.
The pirates who had been lying on the bridge began to stand up one by one.
“Okay! Just run over there and throw that guy away! Then the ship will be ours!”
Lee Su-ho encouraged his subordinates with hope.
But it was only a matter of time before hope became an unattainable mirage.
I lifted the golden shield and struck the hook hanging on the bow.
As the metal hook snapped, the pirates fell into the sea along with their legs.
The rest of the ropes were cut one after another.
And then he ran to handle the last rope.
If I just cut that, it would be over.
The pirates had no more rope left, as no more ropes flew in.
There aren’t many people left on deck.
But these butlers and pirates, like indomitable warriors, did not give up.
The butler shouted in a determined voice.
“Flashbang!”
A pirate who was climbing over the rope took a flash grenade from his vest and threw it onto the deck.
pop!
A dazzling flash of light appeared before my eyes, as if lightning had struck.
I quickly closed my eyes, but for a moment my vision went black as if the lights had gone out.
I covered my body with my shield without moving.
While I was hesitating, the pirate who had thrown the flashbang landed on the deck.
Wow, I finally managed to get it to dock.
But will this ship become yours just because you set foot on it?
I rushed into the landing defense.
