Chapter 100: Sinking with the Ship

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

The sound of continuous cannon fire reverberated to the ears, each of which made the sturdy hull shake slightly. The gunners who indulged in the artillery, and the pirates around them who were responsible for delivering the ammunition, were all fanatical.

It's so easy!

It's so easy!

The stealth and power of the Dragon made raiding at sea a one-sided pastime.

This was already the third large armed merchant ship they had looted.

The first two ships were deceived by the dragon that rushed out of the water before the other party could detect and react. The other party was not given any time to prepare, and the moment the ship's sides intersected, the broadside guns on the Dragon, which had already been ready to fire, rang out one after another.

After a round of artillery fire, by the time the two ships staggered by, the armed forces of the attacked merchant ships had almost collapsed. All they need to do is send out their men to deal with the remaining resistance, and then start collecting the prisoners and loot.

Even if a pirate is accidentally injured, as long as it is not an unlucky direct fatal injury, with the white fresh potion that Tang Bai prepared for them, this pirate will quickly recover and become alive again. After several battles, the number of pirate casualties on Tang Bai's side was simply a handful.

This record of almost zero casualties in the battle greatly stimulated Edson and other pirates. They have now fallen in love with the near-risk-free life of robbery in the Dragon.

The three-masted armed merchant ship on the opposite side was under the attack of artillery fire, and in an instant it was as if it was being held by a huge hand, and the hull of the ship squeaked and groaned in the roar of artillery fire. Moaning and shattering, cracked pieces of wood and wood chips splattered everywhere.

By the time the fire had ceased, the hull of the three-masted merchant ship had become almost a rag bag covered with holes. Adelson and the others know very well what kind of attack different ships will be completely sunk and disintegrated. Therefore, their attack will always set a strength of artillery fire coverage in advance, which is enough to ensure that their own artillery fire can completely disintegrate the possibility of the opponent's artillery counterattack when the opponent refuses to surrender.

The Dragon made a semicircle around the stern of the three-masted ship and bullied it up again. Adelson and Kirkett, who had received Tang Bai's permission from the gesture, immediately drew their long swords, let the dragon's cable bind them, and swung over at the moment when the ship's side was re-staggered.

"You have a mighty ship, Don!" Jack, who was watching this scene on the Dragon, tilted his head with some emotion. Jack doesn't like this kind of robbery or bullying very much.

Jack is a pirate now, but he's not a ruthless pirate like Blackbeard. He has his own moral bottom line, which he is far better than some high-sounding people. This is evident from the fact that he found out that the goods he was transporting were slaves, and he set them free.

"Thank you." Tang Bai looked at the merchant ship opposite, turned his head and replied to Jack beside him.

There was a faint layer of mist on the surface of the sea, and the undulating waters were stained with a thin layer of blood red. The air carried by the sea breeze was soaked with the smell of gunsmoke, and the shouts of killing that blew along with the sea breeze and gunsmoke all around recorded the short war just now.

Broken railings and broken formwork float on the surface of the nearby sea, as well as barrels and debris tumbling on the waves. The smell of blood mixed in the sea soon attracted sharks, which are predators of the sea. More and more knife-like fins are slicing through the water, following the smell of blood to and fro on the surface of the sea.

The battle ended quickly.

They succeeded in plundering a merchant ship.

After breaking down the resistance, Adelson and the others began to carry the cargo on board. Pirates have their own way of selling and can exchange goods that are not gold for money that can be spent.

"Boss, we've emptied the goods. We found some gold on it. Adelson, who had returned to the Dragon, walked up to Tang Bai's side happily and reported to him.

"What about the captives?" Tang Bai glanced at him.

"According to your request, we who surrendered did not kill them." Adelson said with a shrunk of his head.

"Very well, just follow the old rules." Tang Bai waved his hand.

"Chief, we've done what you asked, but the captain of that ship, he refused to escape." Although Adelson didn't understand Tang Bai's behavior, he wouldn't be stupid enough to question it face to face, and now he almost only had worship and loyalty to Tang Bai. Hearing Tang Bai's words, he hurriedly spoke.

"Refuse to escape?" Tang Bai was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

"Yes, he said he was going to sink with his ship." When he said this, Adelson's tone unconsciously carried a little more admiration.

"That's a good captain!" Before Tang Bai could speak, Jack beside him looked at the somewhat miserable ship, and said in a calm and soothing tone.

Tang Bai raised his eyebrows.

"A good captain will most likely choose to sink with his ship when it is at risk of sinking. The crew can escape, but the captain cannot. Debell, who was standing on the side, explained softly to Tang Bai.

Sinking with the ship?

Tang Bai also glanced at the sinking three-masted ship in the distance with Jack, and an inexplicable feeling arose in his heart.

"He's a good captain, and since he's made his choice, follow his wishes." Tang Bai retracted his gaze, waved his hand at Adelson beside him, and continued: "Let his crew leave according to the rules, give them more food, and give them two more small boats." With any luck, they should soon run into another merchant ship on this route. ”

"Yes, sir! Coquette and I went right away. Adelson immediately agreed, and ran down to convey Tang Bai's order. Anyway, there is still a lot of food stored on their ship, and since the transformation of the little dragon, for a long time, like fresh water, there is no need to worry about rotting and mold, or spoiling or something.

The dragon is now the most popular creature on the ship, it acts like a moving freezer, refrigerating and freezing the ship's food so that it does not become moldy and rotten. Fresh water is also frozen into pieces of crystalline ice, which can be taken out to thaw and thaw when used. This made Adelson and the others no longer have to worry about the food at sea being difficult to swallow.
