In the dark, do the remnants of history that were born in eternity and are called gods or demons really exist?

If so, do they have true power?

If so, where exactly do they inhabit?

If so, why don't they respond to the pleas of believers?

The rain suddenly arrived, just before the Golden Deer returned to the fray, ready to carry out the entrapment on the Andes.

It was the first time in the nearly three hours since the start of the naval battle that the British had actually taken the lead on the battlefield, and taking the lead meant a change of offensive and defensive momentum, but it did not mean that victory was within reach for the British.

Because the Andean was almost complete, the risk of forcibly portraying a fourth-class ship with twenty-four pounders was unquestionable.

Whether it's Lorraine, Bale, or Collingwood, who is stunned by the sidelines, they all know that the duel between life and death actually starts from that moment.

Just then, the storm began.

Rainstorms obscured the view of the defenses, strong winds tore apart the path of the attack, huge waves robbed the gunners of the firing environment on which they depended, and the water vapor in the sky shattered the most important equipment of the French, and the muskets could not be fired in such weather.

The Andes could only fight the storm in despair, and twenty minutes later, the Golden Stag slammed into her starboard side, and Lorraine and Henna flew aboard with two hundred screaming pirates to launch a swift assault on the French on the swaying floating islands.

Ten minutes later, the Lucky Horseshoe joined in, crashing headlong into the starboard side of the Golden Deer, and more than a hundred sailors eager for a long date took their own flagship as a transit and fought with their swords.

There is no suspense about victory or defeat.

The Atlantic Defense Fleet under the New World Fleet was at best a third-rate local fleet, and the old Count of Gervodan was not too commendable in terms of officers and sailors, from technique and tactics to will to fight.

On the other hand, Lorraine's privateers were no different in skill from pirates, and compared to regular artillery battles, broadside raiding was their duty and specialty.

What's more, there are also three super strong people on the Golden Deer, such as Lorraine, Henna, and Noya, whose personal combat strength is far better than that of ordinary people.

The more messy the defense organization and the more complex the combat environment, the more the combat capability of the individual can be fully reflected.

The process of broadside battles can only be called overwhelming.

In less than half an hour, Lorraine and Henna, who were walking on their backs, broke through the obstacles under the cover of the Silver Tarot and kicked open the door of the Admiral's command room of the Andes.

Freshly washed, dressed in a new military uniform, and with various medals on his chest, Count Revodan sat with his eyes closed behind the square table in the command room, on which were his admiral's scepter, his sword, an old dragoon spear, and six gross-edged nautical diaries.

There was no fear on his face.

"Young man, are you the stormtrooper captain on that merchant ship? Or the commander of the merchant ship? ”

Lorraine smiled and put the knife away, and stroked his chest and saluted: "Lord Earl, Lorraine, the president of the Drake Chamber of Commerce. Arnason. Drake greetings you. ”

"Drake Chamber of Commerce......" The Count frowned slightly, as if searching for memories in his head, "In the New World, there doesn't seem to be your name in the Chamber of Commerce of England with fully loaded destroyers. ”

"Not really?" Lorraine was even more surprised than the Earl of Jevodan.

However, he did not rush to reintroduce himself, but swaggered into the room with bloody footprints, all the way to the edge of the bar.

"What do you drink?"

"The bottle of brandy, of course, remember to add the ice. By the way, the ice cubes are in the cabinet below, and there is a beautiful ice storage box, which is an oriental artifact given to me by my daughter. ”

Lorraine opened the cabinet and saw the quaint bronze box at a glance.

"It's actually an ice box from the Qin and Han dynasties?"

The Count shrugged his shoulders regretfully: "Collectors say it's a contemporary imitation, and my daughter was deceived." But for me, it's still priceless. ”

"For you, it does." Lorraine took out the ice box, took a few pieces of ice, poured the wine, and pushed the glass and the ice box to the count, "If you don't feel troublesome, I give up ownership of it." ”

"Thank you very much."

The atmosphere between the two sides eased considerably, and the Count picked up the ice box and put it at his feet, looking up at Lorraine who was seated opposite, with a smile.

"Why didn't I hear of you and it would surprise you?, De......"

"Drake."

"Mr. Drake."

Lorraine took a sip of the wine, feeling the mellow content of the wine evaporate on her taste buds, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"From the perspective of a junior, I suggest that the first thing you do after returning to your Admiralty is to complain about the negligence of the intelligence department of the New World."

"Passing the buck?"

"Although this is also an aspect......," Lorraine said bluntly, "on the other hand, my chapter has been listed in Kingston for several months, and Martinique is included in the trade license I have obtained, and the fact that you have not heard of me is enough to prove that it is not a false accusation." ”

"Looks like I'll have to thank you one more time." Earl Revodan smiled bitterly, "Straight down to business, Mr. Drake, could you please tell me how much damage was lost on the ship?" ”

"The rain outside is a little lighter, but it's not enough to count the results, and as far as I know, the resistance on board is still not over, and your soldiers are brave."

"But they can't stop you from capturing their captain."

"Those are two different things. Your lieutenant was obviously shot away by my saber and spear, but he still intends to stop me with his bare hands, bravery does not mean success, and failure does not mean cowardice. ”

"Mr. Opey...... "The Count's face was even more bitter, "is he dead in battle?" ”

"I knocked out my front teeth with the handle of a knife, and I probably hit my head with a bag." Lorraine made a mischievous knock on the door, "But since his head can be embedded in the partition wall, in general, there is no need for life." ”

"You're a strange merchant...... "The Earl felt very complicated, "I've never heard of a master who is as good at fighting as you, not only in naval combat, but also ......in martial arts."

As he spoke, a bloodied sailor ran through the door of Henna and Noah's handle, confessed, and whispered in Lorraine's ear.

After the sailors finished speaking, Lorraine crossed her fingers and looked directly at the count: "My lord, the latest news, my sailors have broken through the last cabin in the bow not long ago, and the resistance of the Andes is over. ”

"Yes......" Count Gewodon didn't show a look of regret on his face, but gently shoved the gem-encrusted scepter at Lorraine, "I now surrender, Mr. Drake. ”

He stood up, bent down to pick up the ice box at his feet, and straightened the medal on his chest: "Where is my prison cell?" ”

Lorraine reached out and picked up the scepter: "Henna, send two people to arrange a clean private room for Lord Earl, no need to search your body, and don't desecrate the dignity of the warrior." ”

……

Three hours later, the clouds and rain stopped, and the wind and waves calmed down.

The post-war finishing touches are being carried out in an orderly manner on three connected ships.

Lorraine was not in a hurry at all, because of the connection between the ship's side in the storm, the ship's cables were completely twisted together, and even if he was in a hurry, it was difficult for him to set off in a short time to support other battlefields.

This means that the naval battle of Lerobel, which belongs to him, is over.

In this battle, the Golden Deer and the Lucky Horseshoe, which belong to the Drake Chamber of Commerce, fought the Andes and the Totem in a two-on-two battle, with a ratio of 460 to 530 and a firepower ratio of 72 to 84.

The battle began early in the morning, lasted three hours of artillery fighting, and then entered the port in the middle of a storm, and in the end, Lorraine won an irrefutable victory.

On the side of the defense fleet, the Andes was captured, and the main and auxiliary foremasts of the Totem were all blown off by the Golden Deer, and they were forced to meet the storm with the most difficult attitude, and it is still unknown whether it drifted to Lerobel or sank directly to the bottom of the sea.

In addition, 97 sailors of the Andean were killed and 58 seriously wounded, and the rest were surrendered.

A total of 38 officers of the rank of lieutenant and above were captured, including the Count of the Kingdom of France, the Admiral of the Atlantic Defense Fleet, and Rear Admiral Leo. Feng. Revo was captured.

On the Drake Chamber of Commerce, the Golden Deer was broken, and although it retained a certain amount of navigational ability, it was determined that it needed to be sent to the dock for overhaul. The Lucky Horseshoe was a small break, with 42 sailors killed and 91 wounded.

Also, the alchemical ballista: Hermes. Trismegistes, narwhals completely destroyed.

The only thing that was cleared out and the original was the inscription-engraved crossbow arm, which was not made into a pendant by Clen himself until a little more than a month later, and turned into a valuable decoration in Captain Lorraine's chamber alongside privateer warrants.

Of course, that's just for later.

At least at that time, in the calm waters of Lerobel Bay, Lorraine's heart ached to learn that his loyal sailors had given up several large boxes of ancient gold in exchange for the whaler's inheritance to become this fragmented.

"It's amazing...... I thought that what was praised as a masterpiece of ancient alchemy could really have indestructible properties like the legend...... It turned out to be just sturdy. ”

"What are you talking about?" Henna walked in, dazed.

"I'm talking about it." Lorraine raised her crossbow arm, "It's broken." ”

Henna's eyes showed obvious disgust: "The ballista has long been useless, and now it's good if it's broken, just replace the two mortars to enhance the Golden Deer's assault ability." ”

"That being said...... Lorraine sighed, "why are you here?" ”

"The Wasp."

"The Wasp is back?"
