Chapter 302: Divine Power Descends from the Sky
Seeing the two "allies" leave one after another without even saying hello, Norrington was really a little dumbfounded.
He might have been able to come up with a reason for Dana to leave with him, but Antonio's actions were so perplexing that he couldn't figure out what was going on in Antonio's head......
As the fleets of the two dynasties turned their heads and left, the originally majestic scene suddenly seemed much bleaker, but the scale of more than 100 warships of the British Dynasty still put a heavy pressure on the fleet of Hades.
In the east, more than 30 warships sent by Mandel had already exchanged fire with the warships of Hades' fleet, and they obviously understood how to carry out the task of containment.
With no advantage or even dwarf in the firepower of a single ship, the British Navy adopted a two-on-one strategy, with one attacking head-on and the other keeping an eye on the side.
As soon as the target shows signs of speeding up, the support boat next to it will move forward with all its might to block it.
Under this strategy, although the ships of Hades' fleet continued to exert their strength, it was always difficult to escape ahead of time.
And the other party is very cunning, several times cruising and rushing, has gradually approached the front, this situation is obviously to hook up the ship, and then engage in a broadside battle.
If it is successfully hooked by the opponent's spear hook, then falling into the situation of engaging the side battle will undoubtedly make the Hades fleet have no chance to escape.
After all, dragging a battleship of the same size could not run fast at all, and its fate was undoubtedly surrounded and annihilated by the main enemy forces in the rear.
The situation was dire, and the sailors of Hades' fleet were all gray-eyed and numb-looking, handling the guns in their hands, and it was clear that they had no hope of escaping.
At the same time, many people's hearts are full of resentment towards Feng Yi at the moment, in their opinion, if Feng Yi hadn't been bold enough to attack the British Royal Navy, their fate would not have been so miserable.
It stands to reason that they should not have such an idea at all, after all, in this war-torn Caribbean, once they accept the employment relationship, then life and death will no longer be under their own control. What's more, the salary offered by Feng Yi is much higher than that of other forces.
But people are often like this, ecstatic because of greedy gain, but complaining about the imminent loss.
In the midst of this silent dead silence, some eyes began to glance around with bad intentions.
If you can take control of the ship and surrender voluntarily, promise that Linton will spare him? Maybe Norrington will be rewarded when he is happy?
There are not many people who have this kind of thought, but it is not a few, and there are some more principled and loyal crew members who have noticed the eyebrows and ill intentions of those people, but the minds are almost all gone to the Hades, and with their prestige and ability, it is difficult to suppress them forcefully in this situation, so they can only be secretly anxious in their hearts.
In the midst of the artillery fire and smoke, under the west wind, a muffled sound in the east and the huge figure that followed were obscured, so that no one could perceive it......
On the Swordfish, Elizabeth looked at the Hades fleet, which seemed to be a lonely boat and could be annihilated at any time, frowning slightly, obviously a little worried.
However, there was a hint of hesitation in this worry, and she was now suspicious of Feng Yi's success in snatching the Interceptor......
"Where's the front? What about the Interceptor? Why don't you see it? ”
The extremely anxious Quinir smiled bitterly with an ugly look on his face: "I don't know, but the Interceptor was indeed snatched by Hades, and Miss Isha doesn't have to worry about this."
Hades has a lot of means, maybe he has some plan. ”
Elizabeth shook her head and said, "Hades' abilities are indeed extraordinary, but you underestimate the British Navy too much, and their heritage is not at all what you can imagine."
Maybe the Interceptor is already ......
Alas, it seems ......"
Before Elizabeth could utter her words, the earth-shattering roar suddenly resounded from the east;
In the next moment, a deafening explosion sounded from the side, and then I saw the two British Navy ships surrounding the Swordfish burst into flames, and countless Burning Man soldiers were thrown into the air with broken plates and then fell weakly into the sea.
The two warships soon broke into several pieces in a terrible howl, and quickly sank in the whirlpool brought by themselves, along with the more than a thousand soldiers on them.
This sudden change really caught many people off guard, and looking at the beginning of the cannon, a huge warship could be seen in the smoke and a flexible drift like a giant beast, aiming sideways at the west in the four volumes of the waves.
Before long, more intense and numerous fires burst forth, and flew towards the fifty warships that were engaged in the battle in an endless rumble.
Obviously, as two completely stationary targets, the sudden appearance of the huge ship was destroyed with no difficulty with the use of the bow gun, and at this moment the hull was turned around in order to give full play to the advantage of firepower and deal a heavy blow to the enemy with its back exposed.
The cannon roared, and Quinnir was awakened by a splash, and with a look of ecstasy on his face, he glanced at the last ship in charge of staring at them in the West, and then whispered to a few sailors and commanded excitedly:
"Tell all the men to be ready for battle, to give a thunderous blow to the last stalking ship after receiving the signal, and then rush to the east as fast as possible to make peace with Hades!"
"Yes!"
Quinil knew that his mission was to get Elizabeth safely to Hades, so he could no longer risk helping the dozen or so brother ships get out of danger.
And in his opinion, with the heavy artillery of the Hades bombarding the back, the enemy's containment tactics would definitely collapse quickly, and he didn't need to take any risks.
At this moment, the other people on the ship also came back to their senses one after another, and they all looked ecstatic.
And Elizabeth's eyes looking at the east are full of brilliance, this Yi Feng is really too bizarre and elusive, there will always be unexpected moves, it is really magically tight.
It seems that following him will really have a different adventurous life, and this is exactly what she yearns for......
Mandel dodged a scorched wooden plank and wiped the black stains from his face, his expression ugly and mixed with a hint of fear......
In the past, I didn't have a strong feeling just watching the Interceptor exert its might against the enemy, but now that I have experienced its power in person, I will deeply feel what fear is.
Under such heavy artillery fire, although there were many of their ships, they could only become living targets at such a distance and under such circumstances.
In these three rounds of shelling alone, they have already destroyed three fourth-class ships, and nearly ten ships of various classes have been wounded by various sizes, and if they continue like this, they will not be able to hold on to the main force before they will completely collapse.
And he didn't want to die young......
"Lieutenant Colonel, if you can't go on like this, please mobilize those twenty ships to come to support!"
An officer staggered over to Mandel and shouted.
Mandel plucked out his ears and scolded in displeasure: "Bastard! Are you a deaf ear to your orders as a brigadier general?
Order the remaining ships to stop entanglement, immediately go out to the west, and go to protect the Sijger!
The stakes are too high for the Sijer to be harmed, and if those frenzied pirates attack the Sijger, we won't have any good fruit to eat! ”
"But ......"
"No, but, carry out the order! Immediately! ”
Mandel jumped to his feet and almost screamed.
"Yes!"
The officer was furious and hurried away.
As Mandel's ships staggered past the ships of Hades' fleet, the Hades' furious cannons finally stopped roaring, as if they were afraid of accidentally injuring their own people, and as if they were responding to Mandel's acquaintance.
Just as Mandel breathed a sigh of relief, an anxious voice suddenly sounded.
"Lieutenant Colonel, the Swordfish is gone!"
Mandel was shocked when he heard this, and turned his head to see that the original location of the Swordfish was now only the wreckage of a burning and sinking ship, and the Swordfish had already run away into the distance.
"Lieutenant Colonel, did you gather artillery fire to sink him?"
Mandel's fists under his sleeves were tense and loose, and finally they relaxed, and he said indifferently:
"No, we're still within range of the Interceptor's firepower at the moment, so there's no need to risk it.
However, the Governor's daughter and the Commodore Lord's favorite person are actually entangled with the shameless pirates who have humiliated my Royal Navy, and I must react to this matter when I return. ”
The officers around him were all shocked when they heard this, but no one dared to answer, and this kind of thing involving the struggle for power at the top was naturally something they could not mix indiscriminately.
In the distance, Norrington, who was rushing at full speed, was furious when he saw that Mandel's ship had given up the entanglement.
"Mandel, you pig! What are you doing?! Gather all the ships for Ben to pester! ”
Norrington's voice came from afar, and at this time, Mandel, who thought he had grabbed Norrington's handle, snorted and snorted disdainfully.
Norrington's crush is not only having an affair with pirates, but he Norrington also lost the flagship of the Southwest Fleet, this crime is too great, why should he wipe his ass?
Perhaps it was Elizabeth who played a beauty trick on Norrington, and then Elizabeth collaborated with the pirates to steal the Interceptor.
Anyway, no matter how you think about it, the responsibility for this matter has nothing to do with him, and he is carrying out Norrington's order to protect the Sijay with all his might, so he can completely assume that he has not received this latest order.
Picking out his ears casually, Mandel asked as if inadvertently:
"It's a big storm, have you heard anything?"
The officers around were all stunned, and after looking at each other for a while, a few people finally stepped forward and replied:
"Lieutenant Colonel, Brigadier General......"
