After enjoying the blessings of life, people should resolutely say goodbye to life, like a well-fed guest leaving the banquet.

- Horace (founder and founder of Roman classicism)

At this point, Roberts, who had a dry mouth, once again picked up the red wine and poured a large glass, ready to moisten his throat; Oscar, however, at this time asks a question: "Roberts, why did this pirate king lose only eight doubles and two triplets in seventeen engagements with the Macedonian fleet; Did every battle end with a resounding victory for the Pirate King?

Even if this were the case, it would not be possible to lose only such a small number of warships; The Macedonian kingdom more than two hundred years ago is not the current Macedonian kingdom, and the fleet under the command of Alexander the Great is an extremely powerful existence, at least in terms of the number of warships, the weakest of the four fleets is far better than the fleet of the pirate king! ”

Oscar's questions are sharp, but also realistic; Since the Pirate King is real, then his deeds should all be true, so it is also problematic to have such an extremely unreasonable record. Roberts was drinking red wine, so it was Kidd, who had been silent, who answered Oscar:

"In fact, in the seventeen naval battles in these three years, the Pirate King lost more than just two trilinear battleships and eight double-lined battleships; The Pirate King suffered at least nearly ten trilinear warships and more than twenty twin battleships in casualties. It's just that in these three years, the legendary deeds and fame of the Pirate King have also shocked the entire Aegean Sea, and even the entire Mediterranean; Countless pirates, large and small, have come to join it.

So, although the warships under the Pirate King lost a lot. But there are a lot of additions in the middle; It's just that this kind of supplement is not at all what the Pirate King wants. But for a better and stronger war with the Macedonian kingdom. The Pirate King can only choose to accept the surrender of these mixed pirates with their own evil intentions.

To know. Rumors that the pirate king had captured two ports of the Macedonian kingdom and possessed countless gold and silver treasures had long spread throughout the Mediterranean; Compared to those who sincerely came to surrender, there were more pirates who coveted the Pirate King's wealth and came in search of opportunities. However, those pirates who coveted the Pirate King's wealth eventually became cannon fodder for the Pirate King's fleet; He's the Pirate King, after all! ”

At this time, Roberts, who had finished drinking red wine, also continued to tell the story of the Pirate King after Kidd answered Oscar's question: "The cooperation between the Pirate King and this family from Egypt is extremely secretive, and even the Pirate King's most trusted subordinates do not know about the existence of this matter; In order to build this golden battleship. The Pirate King handed the family gold coins filled with a transport ship.

No one knows how much gold the Pirate King has given to this family, and no one understands why the Pirate King trusts this family so much and gives such a huge amount of wealth to this family; However, what the world knows is that the family lived up to the trust of the Pirate King, and they spent a whole year building an unprecedented warship for the Pirate King with 20,000 craftsmen and shipbuilders!

This battleship is none other than the legendary battleship Raven, which accompanied the Pirate King through his legendary life, a super battleship made of pure gold! In order to be able to keep the battleship afloat on the sea, the Egyptian family racked their brains; In the end, it was decided to build a larger hull to allow this unprecedented supership to float on the surface of the sea like a normal battleship.

Before the Raven was built, the world's warships were mainly divided into two major systems; Twin Ships, Three Ships, Five Ships, and the Seven-Column Battleships, which have been very few in the history of civilization! The warship system of the barbarian world is only divided into warships and large warships; Their so-called battleships were slightly inferior in combat effectiveness to double-lined battleships. The large battleships were also inferior to the three columns.

However, the appearance of the Raven completely broke such a convention; The huge Tianya not only has a super-large embodiment that is nearly twice the size of the seven battleships. Inside, it can accommodate a full 600 warriors and 700 sailors, and if necessary, this data can be doubled without causing the battleship to roll over, and the capacity of the Seven Columns is only half of the Raven's!

The birth of the Raven directly pushed the prestige of the Pirate King to the peak, and no one had ever seen such a huge super battleship; What's even more incredible is that this super battleship is still made of pure gold, which is a miracle! Since then, people no longer call him the Pirate King; His new name is Poseidon, the Pirate King!

This title means that he is no longer just a mortal in people's hearts; Rather, it is a god-like existence that transcends mortals. However, the Raven also has a fatal flaw, that is, it is too slow; Even transports that are much slower than warships can sail faster than the massive Raven when fully loaded!

Moreover, a super battleship made of pure gold is enough to attract the covetousness of many greedy? The first to react to this was the four fleets of the Kingdom of Macedonia responsible for encircling and suppressing the Pirate King, and their four commanders decided to join forces to encircle and suppress the Pirate King's fleet after urgent consultation; Nominally, it was naturally righteous and awe-inspiring, and it was done for the Kingdom of Macedonia.

However, everyone knew that they were aiming for the Raven made of pure gold and the coveted wealth of the Pirate King; If it was the previous Pirate King, he would definitely be able to temporarily avoid the edge of the Macedonian Kingdom fleet, but the existence of the Raven made it impossible for the Pirate King to escape even if he wanted to.

What's more, the Pirate King didn't plan to run away in the first place, and he wanted to take this opportunity to test the Raven's combat power; Thus, a great sea battle broke out that shocked the world. The defending Pirate King's fleet consisted only of the Raven and four twin ships; The other ships were sent by the Pirate King to protect his gold and silver treasures.

The attacking fleet of the Kingdom of Macedonia, on the other hand, was a combination of four fleets, with a total of four five-column warships, more than thirty three-column warships, and more than eighty double-column warships; The strength of the two sides is not comparable at all, but the world's curiosity about the Raven is full of expectations for this unprecedented sea battle!

The day the Great War began, that is, the day when the fleet of the Kingdom of Macedonia surrounded the Raven; That morning the sea was calm and the sun was slowly rising, and it was a beautiful day with clear weather. The Raven sailed slowly on the beautiful Aegean Sea, and the golden light shining all over the body became the most brilliant and dazzling scenery on the sea.

Before the passing ships could enjoy this rare beauty, the combined fleet of the Kingdom of Macedonia appeared from the sky; With overwhelming sails and dense battleships, this is a huge fleet that can make anyone fearful. More than a hundred brand-new warships, led by four five-column battleships, slaughtered towards the Raven in an indomitable attitude.

It is said that the pirate king at that time not only did not feel afraid, but suddenly ordered the soldiers and crews of the two twin warships cruising near the Raven to abandon the ship immediately; All personnel were gathered on the Raven. In this way, the Raven had a full assembly of 800 warriors and 1,000 sailors; This is far more than the fighters and sailors on any battleship several times more!

However, the Raven was only a warship after all; Everyone thought that the Raven would be doomed, and that was the end of the Pirate King's saga. But the truth is quite the opposite, this battle is the pinnacle of the Pirate King's legendary life! The Pirate King ordered the 1,000 sailors on the Raven to row the Raven with all their might, and the 800 warriors were all the most elite Cretan archers.

Because the Pirate King is confident that the Raven's sheer hull and height far greater than that of the Seven Columns are enough for any warship to get close to the Raven's deck, and that's exactly what happened! Facing the fierce combined fleet of the Macedonian Kingdom, the Pirate King rushed into the battleship group of the Macedonian fleet with his Raven with his own Raven.

Compared with the rapid sailing of the Macedonian fleet, the slow-moving Raven was like a turtle crawling; But this did not affect the Raven's performance at all. Slow and invulnerable, the Raven rushed into the Macedonian Kingdom's fleet of warships, and an oncoming five-column battleship with six three-column battleships crashed into the Raven at the same time.

It may be that the commander of the Macedonian fleet on the five-column battleship intended to slow down the Raven by ramming and then launch a siege operation against the Raven; But the cruel reality is that after the five-column battleship and the six three-column battleships collided with the Raven, not only did they not reduce the speed of the Raven in the slightest, but they were all directly sunk by the Raven!

The Golden Battleship Raven won a jackpot for herself with the sinking of one five-column battleship and six three-column battleships; The ensuing battle went unusually well, as the Raven continued to ram the Macedonian warships that could not be evaded, while the Cretan archers on the Raven did their best to use rockets to attack the other ships within a hundred meters of the Raven.

In just the first wave of exchanges, the Raven penetrated the entire Macedonian Combined Fleet group; By the time the Raven passed through the cluster, countless Macedonian warships had sunk in the sea. With the exception of a few ships that were lucky enough to come out unscathed, the other Macedonian ships were either caught on fire by the Raven's archers or damaged by avoiding a collision with friendly ships.

The chaotic Macedonian warship cluster and the immovable Raven form the most ironic and stark contrast, with the heart of the pirate king, naturally will not let go of the Macedonian fleet in chaos; As a result, the Raven, which had already fought its way out, once again slowly turned towards the chaotic Macedonian fleet.

The entire naval battle lasted only an hour and a half, and the huge Macedonian fleet was able to escape from the battlefield with no more than thirty warships; During this period, as many as eleven ships sank because of heavy damage! Of the four commanders of the Macedonian Combined Fleet, three were killed on the spot, and only one fled back to Macedonia with the remnants of the army; However, the Raven was unscathed, and the Pirate King's command did not die in battle!
