The clouds on the sky had dispersed, and the moonlight was comfortably cast on the sea, and the two sides who were about to fight were spotting each other from a long distance.

The pirate's ship cheered and raced as hard as it could, and the ship was brightly lit and violent.

On the other hand, on the side of Rune's fleet, there were still only a few small lights, flickering on and off on the dim sea, and it seemed a little lonely.

"Seeing this formation on the other side, I'm scared, haha~"

"I'm so excited at the thought of being able to stab Runeterra City, hehehe~"

"Brother, do you have a grudge against Lao Lu?"

"No, who made him famous~"

"There are so many pirate NPCs, we don't need to do it at all, seize the opportunity to video, this battle will be posted on the forum, and we will definitely get the hot post reward of the snow well."

"What do you think I'm doing, I've already started recording~"

……

The players on the pirate ship are laid-back and eager to win the small fleet, in stark contrast to the silence on the other side.

However, as the distance between the two sides became closer, the actions of the Runeter City fleet began to be a little strange, and the warships each turned with full rudders, a total of 6 medium-sized warships and 8 small warships, all facing this side.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than 100 meters.

The pirates can't understand it, the players are not blind, and this scene is often seen on TV or in ancient naval warfare games.

Isn't this a salvo of naval guns?

Although the players had some reactions in their heads, there was still no way to connect the ships of Echoes of the Gods with the formation in front of them, and they had never heard of a ship equipped with artillery!

For a while, the players were talking, and the NPC pirates were unaware, laughing and happy, because in their opinion, the opposite fleet was sending them to death - all pirate ships were equipped with large ramming angles in front of them, and if the hostile ship was directly hit the side side, only the ship would be destroyed and killed!

At such a close distance, let alone escape, it is difficult for the stopped ship to move again!

The very different mood of the players and the NPCs did not last long, because the artillery of the Runeterra fleet was ready.

Kenway's eyes on the Jackdaw skyrocketed, and he drew his long sword and raised it high, and the blood-red sword qi cut a strange and beautiful arc in the night.

This scene fell into the eyes of the pirates, and everyone on the warship of Runetera also saw it clearly.

"Fire!!"

"Bang ......"

A series of blinding lights suddenly lit up on the dark sea, roaring and whistling, and before the attackers could react, the heavy projectiles had already smashed heavily on the deck or the sea.

"Boom!!"

"Knock...... Click......"

Flames, rising into the sky!

When the first salvo was over, three pirate ships at the front were completely destroyed and ignited a raging fire, and the other unlucky one was directly smashed by a cannonball and broke the mainmast and lay on the spot.

The other pirate ships hit by stray bullets could not be counted for a while, at least a dozen, these ships were not fatally damaged, and their combat strength was still there, but the people on board were terrified.

What is it? Is it a powder keg? But how can a powder keg be thrown so far!?

Artillery is even more impossible!

In the memories of the pirates, how could any cannon be mounted on a ship and shoot so far? It's impossible!

"I'm going to wipe it...... Runeterra has already researched artillery? "On the pirate's side, someone on a team of players was surprised.

"How is that possible! Rapids Harbor's flagship doesn't have artillery yet! Someone yelled angrily.

"What a noise!"

The regiment leader's voice suddenly sounded, overpowering everyone else, and there was no movement in the team channel immediately: "Are the contacts on the other ships there, see what is going on on the pirate leader's side, don't hesitate at this time!" ”

As the regimental commander feared, the pirates were frightened by this round of shooting, and before the chief could give orders, the speed of all the ships slowed down.

The pirates are all thinking in their hearts: we are here to make money, not to die!

This time, the pirate was the deputy of the Rusty Water Bay Commander, and he was also an experienced senior pirate, after the initial shock, he quickly reacted, at this time, he must not retreat, or even stop, he can only continue to rush!

The opponent has the advantage of range, and the power is still so great, a little hesitation may be the end of complete defeat!

"Pass the order down, continue to attack!"

The pirate commander resolutely ordered: "The opponent's artillery is not so fast, as long as they get close, they will definitely not have the strength to resist, so they will charge me!" Whoever dares to retreat, there will be no place for him in Rusty Water Bay in the future! ”

The pirates were all outlaws who licked blood from the knife edge, and they were only frightened at first, but as soon as they heard the order of their leader, they immediately reacted.

That's right, this artillery is still here, maybe it's a one-off, take it out to bluff people?

Thinking of the harsh punishment of deserters in Rusty Bay, the pirates' timid thoughts immediately vanished, and the sails that had just been slightly retracted were immediately full, and they rushed forward again with a clamour.

At the same moment, six ships of the Runeterra fleet.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Pull it over! Poke the chamber clean and load the ammunition! ”

"This side is set up, the pirates are close again, and the muzzle of the cannon is lowered a little......"

……

The sailors were busy on the deck, removing the short guns that had just been fired and reloading them as fast as they could, while some of them put on spare guns that had been loaded with shells in advance, and set up a pirate fleet in the distance.

It was Kenway's idea.

Throughout the day, the halfling thieves were led by the wind elemental and had been reconnoitring at high altitudes, and found that the pirates had no intention of dividing their forces to join forces, but formed a large fleet and rushed straight to meet them.

So Kenway immediately decided to dismantle half of the short guns that were originally distributed on both sides of the warship and leave them in the cabin for backup, leaving only the other side unmoved.

In this way, after the gun on one side is fired, it can be replaced with a spare one to continue firing, and the replaced gun will seize the time to clean the chamber, cool the gun body with water, and then reload the shell, which greatly saves time.

So when the pirates regrouped and picked up the speed again, they were greeted by another heavy bombardment! Moreover, the distance of this shelling is half that of just now, and the accuracy is much higher.

There was another burst of fire and a deafening explosion.

The pirate ships in front of them were like going to hell, and this kind of naval warfare that they had never seen before made these pirates who were accustomed to seeing blood tremble.

"Bang!"

A pirate was hit by a high-speed cannonball, smashing his entire upper body to pieces, and slamming his flesh and bones alongside the deck, causing a violent explosion.

Many more pirates had to leave the finished pirate ship and jump into the sea because the hull of the ship was blown apart and the fire spread.

But the pirates who jumped into the sea soon regretted why they didn't stay on the ship, so that at least there was a chance of survival.
