Chapter 81. Absolute superiority in range!
"Monster Island, what's that?"
Seeing that Xie Erlei on the side showed an unprecedented look of surprise on her face, Chopin also asked with some curiosity. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"When the stars in the universe fall into the Endless Sea, they will not only turn into resource islands such as mountains, rivers, and lakes, but also into inhabitable drifting islands and dark island-type resource islands that can increase the area of underwater islands, but there are even rarer islands than these, and that is ...... Monster Island! ”
"And on each monster island, there is a strange totem that is similar to a beast, but not exactly the same, as long as the light core on the monster island is integrated into the light core of the drifting island for human habitation, a certain number of special monsters will appear on the island every month."
"The destructive power of the special monsters produced by each monster island is different, but without exception, they are much stronger than ordinary warriors."
After listening to Sherley's explanation, Chopin was a little confused, but the general meaning was understood.
In other words, as long as you get such a monster island in front of you, it is equivalent to getting a resource point that can continuously obtain strong warriors.
"Your Majesty, I think we're in trouble."
Just when Chopin and Sherley were talking, Jiman's face on the side suddenly became solemn, and when he heard the other party's voice, Chopin also subconsciously looked up.
On the originally calm sea, at some point, there were two more vague shadows of the ship, and as time passed, the situation on the ship became clearer and clearer.
Because of the endless sea, or the special rules of this world, war and plunder, have become the main theme of the fluttering.
However, trade and negotiation, resource exchange and information exchange are also the main themes of this world.
A direct war between the two Drifting Islands after encountering in the Endless Sea will only happen if one of them is completely overpowered by the other.
Most of the time, the lords of the Drifting Islands on the Endless Sea are connected to each other through trade and resource exchange.
However, all transactions are based on the fact that the two sides are close in strength, at least the difference in strength is not particularly large.
Other than that, it's when you have to fight for something, like the ...... in front of you. Monster Island.
"Tell me to go down and get ready for battle!"

And at the same time that Chopin spotted the two three-masted sails, Bert apparently discovered each other.
Looking at the expanding black dot above the sea, he also quickly made a judgment.
Faced with the treasure in front of him, how could he give up his hands like this.
"Push all the trebuchets and ballistae on the two sailing ships to the front deck, sink the opposing battleship as soon as possible, and don't give the other side any chance to counterattack."
With a loud roar, all the crews on the two sails began to move quickly.
As the distance between the two sides continues to shrink, the black dots that were originally slightly blurred are becoming clearer.
Bert looked at the brig in the distance that was entrenched on the surface of the sea like a sea beast, and for some reason, an indescribable ominous premonition began to spread uncontrollably in his heart.
The sea breeze swept into his nose with some damp breath, and it calmed the heat in his heart a little.
Seeing that on the decks of the two sails, ballistas and trebuchets that had been loaded with stone bullets were ready to go, as if they were ready to show their bloodthirsty hideousness at any time, Bert slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you approach the opposite battleship as fast as possible, and then throw the stone projectiles on the trebuchet and ballista at the first time, without giving the opponent any chance to counterattack, then everything will be settled.
It's just that what Bert didn't expect was that far from the limit distance of trebuchets and ballista carts, the originally bright sky had been hidden by the sudden darkness.
A huge and cold roar suddenly came, like thunder in the sky, Bert only felt that his eyes were dark, and his head became dizzy, and when he reacted again, everything in front of him had turned into hell on earth.

On both sides of the brig, the inconspicuous iron windows had been opened at some point, and the entire twelve nine-pounder guns hidden in them had all been pushed out at this time.
A gunner had already filled the round iron ball into the cold iron pipe, and as long as he heard the order to shoot, he would not hesitate to release the demon trapped inside.
"These stupid guys are really ignorant and fearless."
Looking at the two three-masted galleons coming at full speed, Chopin, who was looking at the changes in the situation in the field, couldn't help but have a hungry smile on his face.
Through the refraction of the telescope in his hand, he could clearly see the trebuchet and ballista at the top of the deck.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Chopin also roughly guessed the other party's thoughts, probably wanting to directly destroy all the living resistance forces through the dense stone bullets that kept falling.
Because of the particularity of the Endless Sea, each island is in a relatively isolated state, so even if something happens on the Endless Sea, it is difficult to have any news to pass it on, and even if it can be transmitted from one place to another, I don't know how long it will take.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Bert to know that Chopin possessed an incomparably powerful long-range attack weapon, not only in terms of lethality and destruction range, far exceeding the stone projectiles released by ballistas and trebuchets, but more importantly, the range of artillery far exceeded the latter two.
According to Sherlay, the inhabitants of this world did not pay much attention to the development of muskets and artillery, so they spent a lot of time refining the ballista and trebuchet, the only long-range means of attack in the Endless Sea.
Ordinary ballistas and trebuchets can reach a range of 300 meters, while some specially modified ballistas and trebuchets can even fire stone projectiles at a distance of 500 or 600 meters.
However, this distance is basically the shooting limit of all ranged attack weapons in the Endless Sea.
However, the firing range of the 12 9-pounder guns installed on the brig at this time, without exception, was thousands of kilometers away!
