Airplanes~

The pirates, who were rowing hard, suddenly heard the sound of a bowstring vibrating from the battleship.

Whoosh~snap~

An arrow flew out of the battleship in a high arc and landed on the bow of the dinghy, causing the pirate standing at the bow to kick back a few steps in panic.

Whoosh~Whoosh~......

A succession of arrows were thrown from the direction of the battleship, and under the stunned expressions of the pirates, they accurately hit the same area of the bow, and except for the first arrow, which was deeply embedded in the ship's plank, the other arrows were all through the ship's plank, and after more than a dozen arrows were fired in succession, the wooden planks of the entire bow of the ship had been pierced into pieces, and the blue sea water was frantically pouring into the boat.

"Abandon ship!"

The pirates reacted and scrambled to jump into the sea.

With the sinking of the first dinghy, subsequent arrows were fired at the other dinghies, and the same scene was concocted, and the dinghy on which several pirates were riding were all sunk fifty meters away from the battleship.

"Well done!" Li Tiezhu patted Zhuo De's shoulder vigorously, "Your archery skills are much stronger than Arthur!" ”

Zhuo De put away his bow and arrows, and said a little shyly: "It's over, I've fought with orcs a lot of times, and practice makes perfect." ”

Kid, you're too modest, those adventurers must have fought more than you, it's a matter of talent.

Lu Cheng thought about it in his heart, but he didn't say it, after all, Zhuo De was still young, and it was also very important for him to have a good attitude.

Of course, pirates were all swimmers, and the pirates who had sunk the dinghy did not attempt to board the ship again this time, and they could see that if they had to make any more inches, the arrows fired from the battleship might have been aimed at their throats. So a group of pirates could only swim towards the dock while shouting for a place.

"So, do you understand how to get around our territory?" Lu Cheng asked.

"South-westward, about 2 days of sailing, passing by several small islands, the general direction has been recorded." Lu Nan asked the dock dispatcher for a very simple hand-drawn chart, because the chart is the most important asset of each force, so the detailed chart will not be released to the public. Of course, some simple versions of the nautical chart are still relatively easy to obtain, such as the simple nautical chart in Lu Nan's hand with only a few small islands, if it were not for the navigation needs, it is estimated that these small islands may not be able to draw.

And just a while after Lu Cheng and the others left the dock on the Calais-class battleship, Rex and a group of his men also arrived at the dock.

"My lord, we saw it, it was a Calais-class battleship, it had just left the dock, and after leaving the port, it turned south, and it hadn't gone too far."

The pirate in charge of tracking hurriedly reported the situation.

"Hmph, except for that Exocet-class, the other 3 ships immediately went out of the harbor to pursue, I want to see who the other party is." Rex squinted to the south, as if he could see the ship through the hills.

Two of Rex's three battleships were Henry-class battleships with a full load displacement of 385 tons, each armed with 16 100mm cannons and eight 60mm mortars, while the flagship was a Seahawk-class battleship with a full load displacement of 730 tons, armed with 18 120mm cannons and 12 ballistas capable of firing 25mm ballistas.

Three warships, one large and two small, rushed out and sailed south immediately after leaving the port.

After leaving the port, the 3 warships soon found Lu Cheng's Calais-class battleship at a long distance, Rex commanded the 3 battleships to rush straight without hesitation, any of the 3 battleships he led was not weaker than the Calais-class, and in the number of three-to-one comparison, the Calais class was not his opponent no matter how strong it was.

And all who defy him and the Wolves must pay for their actions.

The Sea Hawk class is known for its speed, while the Henry-class ships are the most powerful but slowest ships of the same class, so although they are small, they are not as fast as the Sea Hawk class. After driving at full speed for a while, Rex noticed that the 2 Henry-class ships were slowly hanging behind.

"Signal that they are to follow and stay behind, and not to be left behind, especially the drunken ship." Rex commanded as he put away his monoculars.

With the speed advantage of the Sea Eagle class, it is expected that it will be able to catch up with the Calais class in front in a few hours, and in the face of the tonnage and firepower advantage of the Sea Eagle class, Rex is confident that there is no big problem in going head-to-head, so it is not a big problem whether the two Henry class ships following behind can participate in the battle.

As the evening approached, the visibility on the sea gradually decreased, and the outline of the Calais-class battleships in front of it gradually blurred, making it difficult to determine the opponent's route, and it was often necessary to recalibrate the course.

At the same time, Lu Cheng on the Calais-class battleship also spotted the three warships that followed.

Lu Nan said a little worriedly: "My lord, the Sea Eagle class and the two Henry classes that followed have been following us, and we turned to them and followed suit, and the target is obviously us, it may be the people of the Blue Wolf Pirate Group you just mentioned." ”

Tsukamoto took the telescope handed over by Lu Nan and observed it for a while, with a solemn expression: "It's a pirate, and the flag on the mast looks very similar to the green wolf group, and the wolf head pattern is only used by the green wolf group as far as I know." ”

Lu Cheng frowned, he originally thought that leaving the auction house early should be able to avoid the Green Wolf Group, but he didn't expect the Green Wolf Group to follow him, and what he couldn't understand was that the Green Wolf Group actually came to chase and kill him indiscriminately, aren't they afraid of provoking people who shouldn't be provoked?

Lu Cheng couldn't figure out why the other party was so confident, but he didn't have the time to think about it at this time.

"Lu Nan, can you find a way to get rid of the other party?" Lu Cheng looked at Lu Nan, whose face was full of worry.

Lu Nan shook his head and said helplessly: "My lord, if it is only the Henry class, it is still possible for us to get rid of the other party, after all, our speed is faster than the Henry class, but the first ship of the other party is the Sea Eagle class, among the primary warships, the Sea Eagle class is the fastest, and it is difficult for us to run away from under the noses of the other party." ”

Sure enough, Lu Cheng observed for a while, the Sea Eagle level had been slowly approaching, and the other party was obviously at ease, and it was estimated that he would be able to follow around 8 o'clock in the evening.

"Is there anything you can do?" Lu Cheng looked at the others, now he needs to work together, it is better for him to think about it by himself, maybe the system can show him the way.

Li Tiezhu, Tsukamoto and the others hesitated for a while, and they all shook their heads, saying that there was nothing they could do.

"My lord, may I tell me what I think?" Just when everyone was at a loss, Zhuo De suddenly said.

Lu Cheng nodded hurriedly: "Zhuo De has any way, just say it, whether it can be realized or not, there is no problem." ”

"My lord, I don't know much about naval warfare, but I think wars are all connected, so I'll tell you my thoughts." Zhuo De saw Lu Cheng and the others nodding in agreement, so he continued, "We have already fought a lot of battles between people and orcs in Kolo Village, because I have participated in the vigilant team, and I have also experienced a lot of one-on-one battles with orcs. I found that although orcs have a lot of strength, they are much less agile in terms of flexibility, and they are generally sluggish in thinking, so in battle, I will choose to go around the back of the orcs to attack, because they are less agile and slower to turn, so they often succeed. And many of the dumber orcs don't even realize that the enemy is behind them. So I wondered if we could use this to deal with that big ship, because being bigger also means less flexible. ”

Lu Cheng didn't know much about ships, so he looked at Lu Nan.

Lu Nan frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "Zhuode, your method is good, but because the battleship is different from the orcs, both sides of the battleship can attack, and the fast battleship is more efficient in steering, so although the Sea Eagle class is heavier, the steering ability is not much worse." In an unsheltered place on the sea, it is impossible to avoid the eyes of the other side. ”

Tsukamoto picked up Lu Nan's words and said, "Also, because it's almost night, it will be more difficult for us to judge the speed and direction of the enemy at that time, and even it will be difficult for us to recognize the distance of the other party. ”

"Oh." Zhuode lowered his head a little in frustration.

"Wait, I think Zhuode's solution works!" After listening to Lu Nan's explanation, Lu Cheng almost felt that Zhuo De's suggestion could not be adopted, but Tsukamoto's next words suddenly gave him inspiration, after all, it was a scientist who spoke out, and getting inspiration from various information was Lu Cheng's strength.

"My lord, ...... you" Lu Nan and Tsukamoto looked at Lu Cheng hesitantly, not understanding why the lord still felt that Zhuode's method was feasible after hearing their negative explanation.

Lu Cheng didn't answer immediately, although he grabbed the inspiration, but the details hadn't been thought through, pondered for a while, and asked Lu Nan to take the simple map over and look at it for a while, his eyes gradually lit up, he knew how to achieve it.

"I know what to do!" Lu Cheng excitedly pointed to the simple map, "Look, we can do this......"

Lu Cheng carefully explained the details of the plan, because many places in the plan require tacit cooperation to achieve the desired effect, so everyone has questions to ask, and Lu Cheng also explained them one by one.

"My lord, you are really a genius, you can think of such a solution." Lu Nan exclaimed.

Lu Cheng shook his head: "I didn't come up with it alone, Zhuo De, you and Tsukamoto provided the key information, and I just integrated it." ”

Tsukamoto and Lu Nan looked at each other, although they explained something, but they were all to prove that Zhuode's plan was not feasible, not to prove that the plan was feasible, but Lu Cheng found a feasible plan from it, which made them feel ashamed.

"Well, now it's up to you to convince those Feather Clans." Lu Cheng pondered, the most critical link needed the cooperation of the Yu Clan, "Tiezhu, bring the Yu Clan up." ”

in the cabin.

Bai Yun lowered his head, thinking about how to get out, just now after the Terrans brought them to the cabin, they brought food and fresh water, and also provided several large barrels of diluted seawater, saying that they were used for bathing.

The exhausted feathers hesitated but ate some food.

And the Yu clan is known for their love of cleanliness, and the sisters can't wait to clean up their bodies when they have recovered some strength, and the gray and fluffy feathers are neatly combed, if it weren't for the fact that the look of the dishes on their faces is too obvious, it is impossible to see that they have been imprisoned for a long time.

"Yu Clan, our adults have something to do with you, come with us."

At this moment, a Terran militia opened the hatch, and Bai Yun noticed that the other party had a satisfied expression when he found that the sisters had been cleaned up.

Sure enough, the human race didn't have a good heart from beginning to end, is this about to reveal its true nature?

Bai Yun clenched his fists, even if he died, he would never compromise!
