Chapter 511: Heart of the Ocean (2)
The sea was bustling with roars, shouts, trumpets and flutes, the clatter of hundreds of oars falling and falling against the water, and the whirring of sails and flags.
"Guys, watch around and stay on line." O'Neil shouted, a gust of sea wind pulling up the old gray cloak, and he was not wearing armor, but only a leather vest, and a brass round helmet resting at his feet. At sea, heavy armor will not only not save your life, but will trap people in fire and water, as old sailors know, and pirates are no different.
To be fair, in such a large fleet, the confidence of other pirates and privateer owners is not justified, such as the Bad Woman and the Butcher, these pirate thrones, are well-deserved sea overlords, they come and go in the sea of stars and the South China Sea like the wind, invincible, and even dare to attack the magic ships of the Empire, these famous pirates gather together, except for natural disasters, there must be nothing to make them feel afraid.
Few of the characters who can call the wind and rain on the sea are brainless stupid pigs, combined with the current situation and the location where they are teleported, even if the Deep Sea Country does not give an explicit indication, they can roughly guess who their enemy is - the Northern Empire.
However, even if they knew that the opponent was the powerful Black Wing Empire, the captains did not flinch, and the Black Wing Empire was indeed very powerful, but that was because the Black Emperor and his ferocious clans, for the country's navy, the pirates really did not pay attention, because they knew that a real fleet was not something that could be piled up with money and magic alone.
To build a strong fleet, first of all, you need the support of the shipbuilding industry and nautical talents, and as a country less than a hundred years old, the Black Wing Empire obviously does not have the ability to do this, I heard that they also have to recruit talents from the central part of the country and place orders for the city of the Inland Sea, in the eyes of these pirates, the so-called fleet of the Black Wing Empire does not have any reputation and actual combat experience, but it is just to form a sea caravan for the purpose of opening the Velluster trade.
By this time, the Bad Woman and the Black Bena were in place, and the Butcher of the Pirate King of Sergana was about to be ready, and on the starboard side of the Butcher were the ships of the three adopted sons of Sergana: the Pain, the Wail, and the Beggar, whose decks were already full of archers, and the Fury was at the end, approaching slowly, with two hundred oars and the largest ramming horn in the fleet, black and swarthy like the head of a beast.
The fleet stretched out on the surface of the sea, waiting for the enemy to arrive, and soon, in the magical horizon, the pirates saw what their opponents were.
Goddess Ambori is on top!
Dozens of pirate ships almost immediately put away their battle flags, turned around and fled south, the pirate group did not have a unified will to speak of, each pirate ship and other ships were independent and equal individuals in the group, because of the difference in strength and the identification of the strong, these pirates may obey the orders of the pirate king in normal times, but when life and death are at stake, this loose group loses its binding force on the individual.
With a long, high-pitched screech, the Northern Group emerged from the other side of the sea level and rode the waves, these huge, towering, heavily armed steel monsters were formidable, and through the Magical Vision pirates, the terrifying muzzles of the guns were slowly turning, pointing far away in their direction.
There is no need to fight at all, and the winner is already decided. This was the thought that popped into the minds of many pirates at this moment, and just as more and more people were about to follow the few quick reflexes from earlier, one after another thick and strong tentacles covered with fleshy suction cups reached out of the sea, grabbed the poor creatures that fled quickly, and pulled them all into the deep sea.
If Crondo were observing the place, he would have recognized it as the sea monster they had encountered when they were on the ocean: Prodolk. He took a lot of effort to deal with this guy, and was almost burned to death by the black dragon princess Blackxia.
"No one is allowed to leave, attack!" The woman's voice echoed across the sea, reaching the ears of every captain: "The furious gods will protect you." ”
"Forward!" In just a few seconds, O'Neil was clearly aware of his current situation, and he roared: "Get out of the array first!" The drums thundered, the oarsmen struck at speed, the chips flew over the water, and the Black Bednar sailed away from the array, ready to cut into the enemy ship group in a roundabout way.
But there was one ship that crossed it, faster than O'Neil, and it was the Viane Pirate King's Bad Woman, its three hundred oars were as neat and precise as clockwork, and the flag painted with a silver crown of skulls hunted and hunted, the Bad Woman was more than a step faster than ships of its class, and it usually acted in the middle of the night, using the hidden runes carved by the master on the hull to approach the target silently, until the side was juxtaposed, and the target was destroyed with full firepower, and then boarded the ship to kill all those who resisted, and the terrible Bad Woman was called the "Midnight Ghost" in the sea of stars, Captain Vane is also known as Captain Ghost.
The sunlight seemed to suddenly become more dazzling, O'Neil raised his hand to block the sun, only to hear a roar in his ears, and when he refocused his gaze, where was the shadow of the Bad Woman ahead? There was only a pile of burning wreckage on the surface of the sea.
In just a moment, no less than 100 cannonballs covered this area, like a huge net enveloping the "Midnight Ghost", leaving this pirate pearl of the stars and seas completely here.
O'Neil's scalp exploded, and his disappeared right leg was numb. Naval warfare is complicated and complicated, and it is simple to say, and it is nothing more than whose artillery has a long range and great power, whose hull defense is good and fast, and whose logistics and intelligence systems are better. Just now, the fleet of the Black Wing Empire showed its crushing range and power advantage, the pirates had only just seen the silhouette of the other side, and before they realized the danger, the Bad Woman had not even had time to enter the combat speed, and the steel behemoths had already opened fire, and destroyed their targets with precision.
"That's not a magic cannon."
O'Neill said to himself, pirate kings of the level of bad women, butchers, and black berena, in order to prevent the cleaning of the imperial navy, have a certain defense against magic weapons, whether it is a magic shield or something else, although everyone's ship protection level is not high, but at least in the face of the baptism of fire, it can barely support for a while, so that the crew has time to escape.
But this time, O'Neil didn't see the Bad Woman take any defensive measures, it was directly destroyed, as if it had been crushed by a giant beast.
"Attack, the goddess of the sea, the lord of the storm, bless you." The clear command of Hill Kannas sounded in his ears, and it was not a lie, and O'Neil did feel that he had become energetic and fearless, and King Ebusto had cast the magic of Fan and the entire pirate group.
"Fortunately, the Deep Sea Nation has not given up on us." The pirates had this idea in their heads.
The entire array of pirate groups began to move forward, their range was far inferior to that of the other party, and it was only possible to effectively kill the target if they were close to about 100 meters or even 50 meters.
To O'Neil's reassurance, after a salvo, the opponent's second blow did not come for a long time, and the fleet made the same move as the pirate group, and the steel monsters were also moving forward, which made him begin to doubt the ability of the opposing commander, is the enemy's brain broken? With a huge range advantage, he actually took the initiative to close the distance with the pirates.
Wait, aren't those ships a little fast?
O'Neil suddenly realized this, even if it was a tailwind, the opponent was advancing a little too fast, and in less than half an hour, they had already crossed the distance traveled by about twice the pirate group.
"What a monster." O'Neil thought to himself, although he had seen them on the prying eye, it was a very different feeling to actually see their silhouettes gradually grow larger in the field of vision, unlike the armored fleets in the south with wooden hulls and copper plates, which were all covered in metallic sheen, even the strange chimneys and decks on the hulls.
The heads of the ships were like sharp cones, splitting the sea in half, and Onell was an old pirate, and just by looking at the white waves that were pushed away against the side of the ship, he could roughly estimate how exaggerated the speed of these monsters was.
The Fury rushed forward, the blessing of the goddess of the sea shrouded it in a silver glow, like a fearless warrior, and its captain Paine was indeed a fierce and tyrannical warrior, the Fury fought in a very different way from other pirate ships, it was not fast, it had few crossbow arrows and guns on board, and its only dependence was on the ramming horns and hull of the ship, the legendary ramming horns and hull.
Apparently aware of the Pirate King Paine's strategic intentions, the Northern Fleet sent a ship of the size of the Fury to leave the group in an attempt to stop the Fury.
"This scene is familiar."
O'Neil thought to himself that two years earlier, he had set his sights on a treasure ship bound for the riverside countries, but Paine had been able to get on board it first, and he remembered that the owner of the treasure ship had sent a frigate to try to stop the Fury and buy himself time to escape, only to be crushed to the bottom of the sea by the Fury.
Can this steel block the legendary ramming angle? O'Nell had doubts in his mind.
The two ships collided.
Under the stunned gaze of the pirates, the swarthy legendary ramming horns continued to deform and make a piercing twisting sound, and then there was a clear and crisp sound of wood clattering and breaking, and the speed of the Fury suddenly stopped after colliding with its opponent, and then the entire hull began to tear, the majestic hull seemed to have been slashed, and the two sides were submerged into the sea, and the raging sea water rushed to the deck, and under the fierce armor, many people were directly lifted out with the debris and fragments.
The giant-class "Chopper" is a second-class warship of the Black Wing Empire, second only to the three main ships of the "Titan" class Imperial Grip, Northern Dawn, and Holy Dragon's Breath, most of the ships of this class are special warships, which are used to perform different tasks, and the "Chopper" as the name suggests, has a strong close-range naval combat capability, its hull is specially made, and it is made of the same molten dead iron material as the Black Dragon Emperor's armor - the element black steel is known as the sharpest and hardest metal in Eladia, but it has been tested by the Black Wing Research Institute, Molten Dead Iron is much more powerful than Elemental Black Steel.
"God." Seeing the Fury being cut in two, O'Neil couldn't remember how many times he had uttered exclamations, the enemy fleet had shocked him too much, and the Fury was still wearing the blessing of the goddess of the sea!
He stared at the Fury slowly sinking into the sea, his hands and feet were cold - even if he couldn't see the scene on the ship, he could imagine that the pirate throne ship had been destroyed, and the sailors who were paddling had undoubtedly suffered from the seedlings, and it was a good ending that they had not been chopped by the enemy ships, and the worst thing was that the guns and crossbowmen and pirates who were stuck in the cabin and could not move could only drown alive in the flooded seawater.
What about the Pirate King Paine? He shouldn't be dead yet, what are you thinking about now?
Screams, yellings, screams, and cries for help mingled before being drowned out by the roar of the ship, like a pot of boiling water, and Onell's spine was chilled, and though the Black Bena were murderous, magically blessed pirates, the fear that spread had consumed them—the pirates who had stomped on the heads of others and screamed had now become prey.
The "Chopper" appeared unscathed and was still moving, but in fact it was also wounded, and the enemy's strength was beyond Clendo's expectations, although the Fury was destroyed in one fell swoop, but the Chopper also reported to the command a number of failures such as damage to the bow, leaking balance compartment, and power system disorder, and it seemed that it would have to stay in the dock for several months after returning home.
But that was enough, the pirates' fighting spirit had vanished with the Furious Horn, and the only time left was slaughter.
It was the first time that O'Neil had seen such a battle across the sea, the opposing warship was on a rampage, leading his own pirate ship in all directions, the steel hull, the unparalleled firepower, and the devastating speed, these two fleets that seemed to be not the same era were separated from each other as soon as they came into contact, and he gritted his teeth, ready to order the Black Bena to fire and hook the shipboard, but he never waited for this opportunity.
He chose to surrender.
The wails and moans of the pirates were in the air, and those who survived had completely lost the will to fight, and even though the deep-sea nations threatened their lives, they could not stop the pirates from fleeing frantically to the depths of the sea, even though they knew that it was still a dead end, but they would rather die than endure the suffocating pressure again.
"Warm-up done."
Inside the main ship of the Imperial Grip, Clondo clapped his hands and used the magic guide communication to order the commanders of the other subships: "Everyone, cheer up and prepare for battle, the Sea Clan has arrived." ”
