Chapter 34: The Trap
By that time, the deputy head of the Shark Tooth Pirate Regiment and the invincible "White Shark" Skuk of the knightly rank will be nothing more than smoke to themselves.
He is fully capable of going anywhere he wants, building his own pirate group, and no longer has to look at anyone's eyes.
And most importantly..... From that already crazy regimental commander .... The farther away the better!
Rubbing against the black sculpture, he clearly knew that in this shipwreck-like sculpture was hidden an evil undead who hated the order and civilized world, and was always ready to launch the most tragic revenge on the human world.
But blindness, self-confidence, and desperation gave him the confidence to completely suppress it after changing jobs.
"With it, I, the One-Eyed Becky, will surely become a powerful transcendent and one day sit on the throne of the Pirate King of the Black Sea!"
Greed made him desperate, just because the effect of this sea treasure was too strong.
Every time you sink a warship of a civilized country in the order world, the pirate ship that holds it will gain a certain amount of bonus, as long as you keep hunting warships, it is not a dream to become a true legendary warship in the end.
With the transcendent profession of "shipwreck mourner", which is symbiotic with ships, Becky is confident that sooner or later he will become the king of the Black Sea.
All of this made him make the decision to openly attack the warship, and after one success, he had to open a big net in this water area to complete another hunt!
......
"Your Excellency, word has come from the lookout that some of the ship's discarded garbage has been found on the sea. We're in the right direction!" The first mate on the Warrior also reported to his captain with an excited face.
"Hahaha, tell the sail captain to go full speed ahead, don't let this little mouse slip out of our noses. β
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Hey-hey-
Immediately, there was an energetic shout outside, and everyone was excited, as if the bounty was within reach.
Because their captain has always preached to them that the one-eyed Becky once fought against the warship, wounding the enemy for a thousand and losing eight hundred, it is absolutely impossible for us to be our opponent. Find him to defeat him, merit and reward every contributing crew member.
In fact, the captain of the Warrior was able to climb to the current position with real material, and he was not fooling the crew, but made a reasonable judgment based on common sense, and he firmly believed that his judgment would not be wrong.
The wind was blowing in good direction, and the Warrior was able to reach speeds of up to six knots with full sails. After two hours of separation from the Silverwing, he finally caught up with the expected Blacksail pirate ship.
The pirate ship was anchored on the side of Rocky Island, as if it hadn't expected anyone to spot them, and had just begun to lift anchor and hoist its sails when it saw the Warrior approaching in a rage.
Hurry up!
The officers and men of the Navy on the Warrior saw the pirates rushing in a panic on the pirate ship, and their morale was even stronger, and they turned directly to the downwind to intercept the pirate ship that was slowly moving and wanted to escape.
The muzzle of the gun is opened, and the knife is sharpened!
"Snortββ! do you really think you can eat us? The fool fell into the trap without knowing it. The pirate cadres hiding in the shadows of the pirate ship sneered bloodthirstily and looked at the Warrior like a pig or sheep to be slaughtered.
Because all the power of a sail battleship depends on the power of the wind, the importance of wind direction to the battleship in naval battles is unquestionable. There is no absolute superiority or inferiority between the upper and lower winds, but rather the advantages of each tactic.
Although the Warrior's attack from the downwind could open all two layers of cannon ports, fully exert its firepower, and block the opponent's escape route, it did not expect to fall into the trap of the pirates.
Put down the monoculars in your hand.
"Gagon, this prophecy is good. All the captured navies are yours!" Becky One-Eyed was so pleased with the Wizard of Gagon's prophecy that he had promised him the loot he wanted most before the battle began.
"Quack, thank you, Captain. "A shriveled old man with brown skin and various bone ornaments, an open and wrinkled mouth, a grocking grin, a black tongue, black teeth, and a black mouth, as terrifying and disgusting as a black mamba.
"Open the muzzle and slow down a little bit, don't scare our guests away. β
"Yes, Captain!"
"Boom!", "Boom!", "Boom!"...
The fierce artillery battle was the first to unfold, jumping shells flew sideways, the ship's planks exploded and the masts were broken, and from time to time there were unlucky eggs on both sides that were directly crushed into meat sauce.
"Ahh
"My legs..."
Whoever is the hunter and who is the prey, the artillery battles at sea are fierce, and this is fair to both pirates and navies.
The upwind pirate ship took advantage of its wind advantage to slowly approach the Warrior, and it was in a desperate posture to force a gang jump.
The Warrior wanted to make the most of the guns on her battleship, and fought and walked, using the sea version of kite tactics.
"Stabilize me, the gunners will shoot me all the shells we have in reserve, and if you want to fight with the warship, it's still decades early!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Under the fire, the two ships gradually sailed out of their original waters, and as long as they passed through the rocky ring arm extending from a rocky island, they would return to the deep water.
At this time, a strange scene happened to the officers and men of the Warrior.
The sails on the pirate ship gradually retracted, and the ship began to slow down.
"Strange, what are they doing here?"
The bearded captain of the Warrior put down his monoculars, unable to understand the pirate's intentions, but he had to slow down himself in order to ensure the range of the artillery.
"The sail is long, the ...... is lowered"
"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and the hull of the Warrior shook suddenly, and the huge force even threw many sailors on the deck into the sea.
"Oh no, it's on the rocks!!"
The shouts of the crew made the bearded captain's face suddenly turn pale, and he made the most unforgivable mistake by forgetting to observe the sea conditions and forgetting to observe the sea conditions.
The navy on the ship was instantly panicked.
No one knew better than him what the consequences of losing their mobility in such a pursuit would be, and the bearded captain closed his eyes in pain: "Continue to fire to stop the pirate ship from approaching, send a distress signal, and inform the whole ship to wait for Colonel Gehr to rescue!"
This is a difficult choice for him, who has always been arrogant and pretentious, but compared to his life, face is no longer important at this time.
As the glowing red flares burst into the sky, there's a new move on the pirate ship.
Seven or eight small special wooden boats were lowered into the water, and on each boat were three pirates, one carrying a torch and two rowing boats, and in the boats there was something covered with canvas.
This time, without the bearded captain's orders, the experienced officers knew what these damn pirates were trying to do, this TMD was simply an arsonist ship!
What kind of hatred is this, his battleship has run aground on the reef, and he has to send a death squad to burn the ship?!!!
"Quick, fire, sink these arsonists!" the gunner's hysterical order almost changed tone, but the gunners themselves were not much better, and they quickly loaded their ammunition and fired frantically into the distance.
However, because of the grounding, the Spirit turned on its side, and the guns on the side of the pirate ship were all facing the sky, and two of them were sunk by Dayun shortly after the arsonist ship was launched, but when they got closer, the guns could no longer attack them.
What's more, in this process, the guns on the pirate ship did not stop at all, and the officers and men on the Warrior could not raise their heads at all, and the lifeboats that were put down were also the first to set fire, completely cutting off the hope of the sailors to escape.
"Crazy, crazy, don't they dare to stock up on the ship with so much flammable oil and aren't they afraid to turn themselves into fireballs?!"
It's just that at this time, no amount of vicious swearing can save the Warrior's predetermined fate.
