After a while, the second lieutenant returned with the king.

"Go over there, Hull, but keep the whole ship on guard.

It may be the old days of disguised as pirates, so don't take it lightly. ”

"Got it, Your Majesty."

The adjutant saluted and immediately adjusted the course according to the signal, and the second lieutenant himself returned to the transmission room, leaving two people at the helm.

"However, you should be going to take a nap this time."

"It was going to be, but Coco just called me, so I just put down the phone when you asked Second Lieutenant Farus to come over."

"Is the princess well, Your Majesty?"

He glanced slightly at Komak around him, and then whispered.

"I don't know...... The doctor said that the condition of tree fever was still the same, and she would have high fever and chills from time to time.

Today, I got up after a day's sleep and called me, and it sounded ..... too weak. ”

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty......"

"It's okay...... They are already as much as possible in the treatment, Coco is very lively... I'm sure I'll live..."

The adjutant didn't say anything more, but stared intently at the ocean in front of him, and Komak didn't speak, looking at the ocean together.

During the voyage, the sailors returned to their posts one after another, and after receiving orders from the communication room, most of them entered the guard posts.

"How far is it from the signal?"

The lieutenant, who had given control to the helmsman, stayed in the communication room and asked the officers.

"As far as we can see, the navigator can now see where the problem is going to be at all times and notify us immediately if anything happens."

At this moment, the phone bug next to the officer who had just spoken rang, and without too much movement, he immediately picked up the phone.

"In the communication room, we saw five civilian ships, there was no sign of activity, all of them had traces of battle."

Imitating the other party's phone bug, he said to the officer.

"Keep watching, and report anything as soon as possible."

"Understood."

"Captain?"

Everyone waited for the captain's order, and the other party nodded, picked up another phone bug, and gave the battle order.

"All men are on combat duty, their guns are loaded, and they are not to attack without an order unless they are attacked by the other side."

The crew, who had been resting on the deck, immediately ran to where they should have been, and the combatants with bows, swords, and a small number of arquebuses stood guard on the deck.

As for the gunners and loaders, they busily prepared their guns, checked the condition of gunpowder and shells.

"Have you found it, Hull?"

Back at the helm of the adjutant, Komak asked, and the other party nodded and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty.

Five unmanned ships were found, the exact circumstances of which are not yet known. ”

"It's up to you, Captain."

The king nodded to the captain, signaling that he would not interfere with Hull's judgment and command, and he continued to command his ship.

"Keep sailing."

For half an hour, everyone could see the seemingly abandoned merchant ships with the naked eye, most of them were scarred, and some parts of the canvas were still burning, as if they had just experienced something, but the attackers were nowhere to be seen.

There are no corpses, and there are no traces of creatures moving at sea, unlike the attack of sea creatures, then, there are only two possibilities.

"Call the other person's channel and see if there's a response.

If so, let them fly the flags, or destroy these abandoned ships. ”

One, the people who attacked them have left, and these are just victims.

"Everyone goes into combat readiness, starboard approaches."

The ship struck sideways, aimed its starboard side at its target, and slowly circled around as Hull took out his binoculars and observed the situation inside with Komak.

There was nothing on the ship, except for charred charcoal, and it seemed to be only a slow black smoke, not even blood, as if it had been washed.

"Did the other party respond?"

After sweeping through it, Hull asked the people inside the bridge.

"No, Captain,

The other person remains silent. ”

Second, the existence of this ship is just a decoy, and once it gets close, the other party will immediately attack those who are close.

"It's very likely a decoy boat, making a threatening shot."

The gunners of three guns held out their hands and signaled them to threaten to attack.

The three cannons were aimed at each other, and when they were ready, they reached out again and looked at Hull, who nodded and signaled to attack.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Fired back and forth, two shots flew into the sea, while one hit the side of the ship, which easily passed through the side of the ship, then went through the other side, smashed into the deck of the other ship again, and then stopped moving.

Suddenly, there were cries among the ships, and the three pirate ships disguised as merchant ships immediately lowered their sails and hoisted their pirate flags.

The guns that had been hidden in the hull were stretched out, and at the same time they immediately began to adjust their formation, spreading as far as possible, so as not to completely destroy their own team with a single salvo.

"It's just pirates... It seems that he has just come out to break through, and he doesn't have a little patience.

Starboard, salvo ready! ”

"Salvo ready!"

"Salvo ready!"

The shouts came one after another, conveying the captain's order to shoot, and seeing that the people on deck had raised their hands, Hull shouted:

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

Suddenly, the guns on the deck let out their own roar, and a row of black iron balls flew out, and the three-tiered guns that followed them also fired a salvo.

Four rows of densely packed shells flew like an iron wall towards their target group. At the same time, Hull also commanded:

"Turn to attack! Starboard loading! Port side ready to shoot! ”

"Port side ready to shoot!"

Before this order could be given, the gunners and loaders on the starboard side were already busy, filling the gunpowder, scattering the heavy solid iron balls into the barrel, and then taking a long tube to push the shells in the barrel back to the bottom, and then back to the gun's position.

It takes a lot of time, especially when it comes to carrying the shells.

However, a salvo is enough to destroy those ships, everyone thinks so, in any case, it is unlikely that the pirates who have just broken through will have much strength.

However......

A huge wall of fire suddenly shot out of a ship, blocking most of the shells, and easily, most of the attacks turned into useless work.

The other two ships were not treated so well, the wall of fire did not block all the places, and the two ships suffered a lot of damage, and the main mast of one was directly interrupted, completely losing the ability to maneuver.

"What's going on???!!!"

However, the appearance of this wall of fire completely surprised everyone, and everyone was stunned in place, the majestic flame that almost covered half of the sky.

Komak almost grabbed the ship's guardrail, he couldn't believe his eyes, what the hell was this?
