Chapter Ninety-Four: Naval Battle
In the majestic bridge captain's quarters, the man who ruled the fate of the sea sat on the throne, and the Duke of Farreville was a tall, thin man, with black hair, a long mustache, and a short beard, and a black three-cornered hat with the brim drawn down to the eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He was dressed in a black and brown pirate suit, and his body was covered with all kinds of small pimples, small bags, and I don't know if it was an ornament or some other special function.
At this moment, he sat upright, his eyes calmly staring at the sketchy map of Kalimdor in front of him.
"Report!"
Outside the captain's room of the Devil Shark, the flagship of the Blood Sail Pirates, a pale young pirate knocked on the wooden door of the captain's room in a short and powerful manner, and gave a military salute in front of the pirate duke respectfully and standardly, and said in a loud voice:
"Report! Lord Duke, the fleet spotted a flotilla at ten o'clock. ”
"A total of one second-class warship, four third-class warships, and the rest of the eighteen armed merchant ships and cargo merchant ships, thirty nautical miles away from our fleet, are heading from northwest to southeast!"
"What is there to report on a fleet of no more than twenty ships?"
The pirate Duke Farreville, who was buried on the table, did not raise his head, and retorted with a slight displeasure.
"Their strength is really not worth mentioning, Duke. However, the report of the forward fleet says...... They seem to be a fleet of goblins, most likely the fleet of Blackwater pirates! The young captain said in a hesitant tone, somewhat uncertain.
"Oh?"
The Duke of Farreville, who had carefully studied the sketchy map, finally looked away from the map, and a terrifying light burst out of his brown eyes, sweeping over the slightly nervous face of the young pirate, like a sleeping viper that suddenly opened its eyes after discovering its prey:
"Blackwater pirates?! Hmmm......"
"How far is it from Ratchet City?" Farevers asked softly.
"Three hundred nautical miles, Lord Duke!" The young pirate replied respectfully and quickly.
Hearing the young pirate's answer, he pondered for a moment, and the pirate duke waved his hand lightly, and gave a cruel order lightly:
"Pass my order, capture the goblin fleet ahead, and if you encounter resistance, you will be killed!"
Migrate qi and nourish the body.
As the supreme leader of the Bloodsail Pirates, Farreville, the man who presides over the fate of the caravans that roam between Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms, has an air of oppressive admiration in his gestures.
A simple sentence, a look, and a movement will vividly show the majesty of the person who has been in the position for many years.
"Hores Bertskruw, tell the boys that if they resist, sink them directly, let those little greenskins and Naga be their company, and don't leave a single person!"
Above the ocean, the Duke of Farreville, who has a heavy army, is the uncrowned king of his word, and no one can offend his majesty, even if there are only three hundred nautical miles left from Ratchet City, he is not worried about the possibility of leaking the news.
The Blackwater Pirates and the Hot Sand Consortium have a deep background and good strength, but on the ocean, they will also be vulnerable in the face of the Bloody Sail Pirates!
The self-confidence of dominating the seas has long been integrated into the belief of every Blood Sail Pirate, and the young pirate Hores Bertskruw "snapped" his chest and abdomen, gave a military salute, and replied calmly and confidently:
"As you wish, Duke...... Captain, their formation is out of order! ”
***********
"Don't care about the bullshit formation, flag talk! Make a U-turn and head back to Ratchet City! Fast! Fast! Fast! Let all the ships spread their sails and shake off the human clutter behind them as quickly as possible! ”
The formation of the goblin fleet on the sea has been completely disorganized, and the more than 20 ships can no longer distinguish between the Chinese army, the forward, the left wing, and the right wing, just like a school of panicked fish scattered in all directions, speeding up with their lives.
Atoka, who was the commander of the goblin raiding fleet, had almost frantically raised his sharp voice to give the order for the fleet to escape.
No one who fights on the seas has the courage to meet the bayonets of the blood-sailed pirates who have gone out to fight on the sea.
As a pirate, the only hope for escaping in front of these sea maniacs is to run faster than the other ships!
Unfortunately, the last hope of the goblin pirates was also dashed!
A faint white mist spread endlessly on the dim sea, and more than 30 second-class warships of the Blood Sail Pirate Forward Fleet formed a dense black shadow on the sea, breaking the waves and rushing forward, which was extremely spectacular. But in the eyes of the goblin sailors, it was a death talisman for the god of death.
After only a few minutes, they were completely surrounded and there was nowhere to escape......
"No one can easily take the life of a goblin! No one can easily take away the goblins' gold! Fight with these people! ”
"Fire!"
Stimulated by the double loss of life and property, the goblin sailors launched a desperate counterattack in a completely frenzied manner.
Almost at the same time, the two sides of the naval battle, with a huge disparity in strength, gave orders in unison, either hoarse or calm and decisive, and the fire lit up from the muzzle of the guns, and the loud noise soared into the sky, and the shells formed a barrage, whistling and rushing towards the opposite side.
Of course, the comparison of artillery strength between the two sides is not on the same level at all, and the situation of this "encirclement and suppression" above the sea is lackluster.
Armed merchant ships are much inferior in firepower to warships due to their size and transportation needs, such as a medium ship, which generally carries only 20 to 30 guns.
The cannonballs fired by the merchant ship flew a distance of four hundred yards, and struck the hull of the pirate warship weakly, which was beyond the effective range of ordinary artillery, not to mention the hull of the ship reinforced by the magic array, even ordinary oak planks would not be pierced.
The cannonballs fired by the Bloodsail Pirate Battleship's all-in-one group of second-class battleships were a different story, shattering planks without any suspense and entering the cabin to wreak havoc, smashing the cannons or tearing the gunners inside into a puddle of minced flesh.
There was only one salvo, and all that remained on the firelight-lit sea was a fragment of a shattered and burning ship......
When the ferocious gunfire of the Bloodsail Pirates finally stopped, there were broken masts, broken planks, the corpses of goblin sailors, and the desperate wails of goblins that filled the eardrums......
The raiding fleet under the third squadron of the Blackwater Pirates in Ratchet City was completely wiped out in just a few minutes.
Only the second class battleship "Atoka Gold", with its artillery firing mute, broken mast and loss of power, was left alone on the sea.
A quarter of an hour after the Bloodsail Pirates gave the order to slaughter, the goblin captain Atoka, the first mate, and more than 30 surviving crew members of the "Atoka Gold Coins" boarded the metal deck of the palace-like "Devil Shark" under the escort of the Bloodsail Pirates armed with long swords......
...................
After a short and tiny naval battle and massacre, a superfleet of countless giant warships has been rebuilt in the night.
The elite ships of the Bloodsail Pirates are full of sails, led by the giant magic battleship of the sea, the Devil Shark. Ride the waves and waves towards the ancient continent of Kalimdor at high speed.
No one noticed that as they drifted away, a pipe crept out of the messy water, slowly drifting towards Ratchet City.
