At the same time that Chopin learned of the arrival of pirates, in the newly built harbor of Drift Island, the sail warships were also ready to go.

On more than a dozen warships, led by the galleon, a sailor began to use the rope on the winch to control the bulging sails, allowing the behemoth beneath him to move slowly.

"Orientation determined."

"Orientation determined."

……

On more than a dozen sail warships, loud sounds sounded in turn.

"These guys are really unlucky."

Retracting the telescope in his hand, which had been carefully crafted by the Imperial craftsman, Twill also smiled and shook his head.

"They met us."

If the previous sentence is just a joke, then the latter sentence shows absolute confidence and domineering.

After learning the news of the sudden attack of the pirates, Twill's face did not show a panicked look, but was as indifferent as ever.

Also, as a famous admiral of the French Empire, he can turn the situation back even if he is at an absolute disadvantage, not to mention that at present, with a sea fortress like the galleon of Galen, with the number of warships that are not inferior to the other side, and there are more elite and brave sailors than the other party, as well as the concept of naval warfare that completely transcends the limitations of this world and the gunpowder weapons that break the rules of this world, what is he to fear and worry about.

"Yes, these ignorant pirates are just killing themselves."

Gilman glanced around the dozen or so pirate warships that were rampage in front of him, and said in an extremely flat tone.

"These ignorant guys, as expected, still don't have any rules and tactics."

As a talented student who graduated from the Naval Academy, the captain of the first real sail warship after His Majesty Chopin came to this other world, Jiman's identity is actually quite dramatic.

In fact, with the qualifications of the other party, in the French Empire, which was in the ascendant of the Otherworld, he was definitely qualified for the post of Minister of the Navy, but later with the appearance of Twill, the position of Minister of the Navy naturally had nothing to do with him.

Whether in terms of seniority or actual combat experience, Gilman is naturally inferior to this legendary figure who once defeated Admiral Nelson, who is known as the "soul of the British Navy".

However, Jiman did not have many complaints about this, in fact, just as the fans of later generations treated their idols with fanaticism, Jiman naturally admired this famous admiral who left a strong mark in the history of the French Navy.

Later, although the original fanaticism gradually dissipated as they spent more and more time together, the admiration and respect in my heart were deeper.

Especially after following the other side through several dangerous and dangerous sea battles, it is clear that they are at an absolute disadvantage, but under the command of General Tweed, they have turned decay into magic, and have turned a battle that is bound to be lost.

And for Jiman, the shock in his heart can be imagined.

Although his expression seemed extremely relaxed, Twill was still meticulous in arranging the upcoming collision.

"For any enemy, no matter how vulnerable they seem, we must deal with them with all our might."

Twill's gaze paused on Gilman for a few seconds, and then he said meaningfully.

The lion fights the rabbit, and still uses all his strength.

And any slight slighthead can lead to the defeat of a campaign.

"Also, artillery has an absolute advantage in this other world, but it is not invincible after all."

Hearing this, Jiman naturally felt deeply, although the power of the artillery is amazing, but in a naval battle, if you want to sink the battleship, where is it so simple, even if the solid shells with black pressure will destroy the enemy battleship, but as long as it does not penetrate the key position on the battleship, the wooden plank can definitely hold on to the end of a battle.

Moreover, in the 18th century, artillery has always been a big problem in terms of firing accuracy, and on the sea, because of the wind and waves, the artillery wanted to accurately hit the enemy ship, which was further hindered.

However, if a salvo is fired, the huge recoil generated will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the battleship equipped with artillery.

Even if the sailors were able to stabilize their balance at the first time, it was obviously not too feasible to shoot at the rocking hull again, so I am afraid that they would have to waste many excellent offensive opportunities.

Twill's tone at this time was more like a mentor and friend, who was trickling down instructions to Gilman.

Although he is a heroic spirit summoned by Chopin, his physical fitness is still not much different from the past, and he is old after all, and the next long journey in this other world will have to be carried out by Jiman, the sailors who are being educated at the Naval Academy, and he will gradually withdraw from the starry stage.

The future, after all, is theirs.

"Alright, now you can give orders."

Looking at the blue ocean in front of him with some emotion, Twill said indifferently.

"Got it!"

After being silent for a while, Jiman spoke again, but in his words, he was a little less confused and a little more resolute.

He knew very well that perhaps it would not be long before he would assume the post of Minister of the Navy.

This is an honor, but also a responsibility!

He won't run away, and he won't back down.

"All warships, avoid engaging in a string battle, keep a distance, swim in a roundabout way, and strike with the advantage of artillery."

He took a deep breath, suppressed all kinds of ups and downs in his heart, and said slowly.

"Yes!"

As Jiman's calm voice sounded, the herald at the bow of the ship also hurriedly used the flag to convey the message to the rest of the warships.

And after receiving the order to attack, a sailor's face at this time was covered with excitement and joy, as for fear and retreat, sorry, what is that?

Although in which era, the navy of the French Empire was not the absolute top, but even against a veritable number one naval power like Britain, how could these warriors of the French Empire ever be afraid?

"Wait, Captain Giman, His Majesty Chopin ordered that all the warships retreat at once, do not entangle with each other, and let these pirates enter the island."

However, just as all the warships were about to move, the heralds who had rushed from the city of Paris hurriedly gave such an order.

***********

As the distance continued to shrink, the originally blurred black spot in front of him was also magnified little by little, and Tadis, who was originally sitting in the bow of the boat, couldn't help but stand up at this time.

"Captain, there's a harbor ahead, damn it, where are there a dozen or so warships, this is not an ownerless drifting island at all!"

"Huh?"

Hearing the words of the pirate standing at the top of the mast, Tardis was also stunned, and then his gaze swept forward.

"Damn it!"

An ownerless drifting island is naturally of great significance to Taddis who wants to further expand his power, but who would have thought that the situation in front of him is obviously not what he imagined.

However, Tadis clearly remembers that there should have been no Drifting Island in this sea area before, but now such a Drifting Island suddenly appeared, what is going on?

While he was a little confused, Tadis was inevitably entangled in his heart.

It was difficult for him to decide whether to continue the attack or retreat immediately, but if he wanted to continue to expand his power, he would have to have a Drifting Island as a base.

Generally speaking, the lord who can occupy a drifting island will not have too weak power, after all, although the three kingdoms have certain laws to bind their lords, in the endless sea, the most important thing is the power under their control.

If the lord of a drifting island does not have enough ability, I am afraid that it will be swallowed up by the rest of the lords who are eyeing it around long ago.

However, this hesitation lasted less than a second, and Tadis had already made a decision.

Offensive!

The forces at his disposal have reached a limit, and if he can't find a Drifting Island to start developing steadily, I'm afraid that the people he has gathered together will be scattered before long.

However, as for Tardis's decision, his pirates were a little unexpected, attacking a deserted island with a master, and they really didn't think about it.

"Have you forgotten who we are? We are pirates, pirates who do all kinds of evil, take this drifting island, money, women, it's all ours! ”

Tardis waved the scimitar in his hand and said in a very demagogic tone.

"Hooray! Banzai! ”

Hearing Tardis shout, the pirates on the entire deck suddenly had their eyes lit up, and they all smiled and raised their scimitars and cheered loudly.

"Brothers, think of that lovely gold coin, think of that lovely beauty, as long as you capture this drifting island in front of you, those will be ours!"

At the urging of Tardis, a pirate did not hesitate too much, and then maneuvered the pirate ship like a wolf in heat.

However, before they could get closer, the pirates were extremely surprised to find that the dozen or so warships that had been in formation on the opposite side suddenly withdrew along both sides of the Drift Island, and they would not leave later.

"These guys...... Isn't it scared? ”

A pirate looked at the scene in front of him, which was obviously a little wrong, and was stunned for a while, before he spoke slowly.

"What the hell are these guys trying to do?"

Looking at the strange behavior of these warships on the other side, Tardis couldn't figure out the other party's strange thoughts for a while, but now that he was ready to send arrows, he couldn't retreat like this because of the other party's strange behavior.

And as the enemy warships retreated, the pirate ships also approached the Drifting Island without the slightest hindrance.

After arriving at the shore, at the command of Tardis, a pirate flew to the Drifting Island.

Due to the strange behavior of those sail warships before, Taddis has been extremely vigilant since landing on the island, for fear that the other party has some conspiracy.

It's just that Taddis didn't expect that after their group broke through to the island less than a kilometer away, a force of thousands of people came into his eyes.

All the means he had guessed might be used, ambushes, lures, or whatever, and an army of thousands of men confronted his pirates head-on.

And with the next bloom of the scarlet blood flower and the gluttony of the feast of the ghosts and gods, Tardis finally knew why the other party did not have the slightest intention of ambushing, but collided directly with them.

Because, there's no need at all......

**********

Looking at the sudden emergence of enemies in front of him, a pirate let out a wolf-like howl from his mouth, and then rushed forward fiercely with a sharp scimitar in his hand.

But what all the pirates didn't expect was that they were greeted by the most terrifying dance of death.

Looking at the pirates in front of him who were rushing towards him like a wild horse, a line infantry who had been preparing for a long time did not hesitate for a moment, and pulled the trigger as soon as possible.

"Bang bang-"

Almost instantly, bright blood-red flowers bloomed on the pirates' chests, and then splattered out in all directions.

In just one round of shooting, dozens of pirates who rushed to the front were all lying in a pool of blood, dark red blood continued to spread from the ground, and at the same time, one after another screams and wails also continued to sound, and the originally excited faces had turned into a hideous, and the intense pain was like a tide, wave after wave, constantly eroding the bodies of this group of pirates.

"Attack, attack, all are not allowed to retreat!"

Tadis also had a lot of fear in his heart about the firearms that were completely beyond his cognition, but the situation suddenly changed to what he was doing, and he was a little helpless, so he could only instigate and intimidate his pirates to continue attacking.

Luckily, there don't seem to be many of these soldiers with strange weapons, and as long as their pirates rush in and take out these annoying creatures, then they will have a lot easier next.

However, what Tadis never expected was that after only one round of shooting, all the line infantry in the first line retreated to the rear crowd, and it seemed that there was no intention of moving again.

While the line infantry retreated, one of the spearmen immediately stepped forward, raised the heavy iron shields in their hands in unison, and in an instant, formed an impenetrable steel wall.

And in the small or occasionally deliberate gap, sharp spears spread their ferocious fangs like vipers and pounced on the pirates at the front.

Almost every swing of the spear with a cold glow would bring up a bloody light.

However, this kind of battle did not last long, and when the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, the ground under their feet trembled without the slightest warning.

"Dada-Da-"

With the sound of horses' hooves in unison, hundreds of cavalry swarmed from both sides of the pirates.

Then, with the neighing of the French war horses under him, an Imperial cavalryman with a saber in his hand also collided with each other from both sides.
