The sea breeze is strong.

On the vast blue sea, a fleet of ships painted black marched in a triangular formation, and at first glance it felt solemn and solemn. In detail, the fleet has a total of three five-masted ships and seven three-masted ships, and such a force should not be underestimated even in the entire Sea of Watch. Even more daunting are the flags that fly on these ships.

Noxus!

This is...... Warships of Noxus!

Although Noxus' navy is not the best in Valoran, the name Noxus alone is enough to deter all those with bad intentions. As the city-state with the highest strength in Valoran, Noxus does not pursue a friendly law, it can be said that if there is no balance of Western Demacia, Noxus's iron cavalry would have already stepped on every corner of Valoran's big 6!

The majesty of Noxus, who would dare to infringe?

At least no one on this sea dared to anger Noxus, that's what Gilgamesh, the giant merchant of Zaun, thought. The cargo was so precious that he relied on his connections to contact Svein, the current principal of Noxus, with money and some promises, and Svein finally agreed to Gilgamesh's request to send an elite warship to escort him back to Zuan. Now, the five-masted ship that belonged to Gilgamesh to transport the goods was guarded by the Noxus fleet in the very center, which filled Gilgamesh's heart with a sense of security.

However, Gilgamesh's confidence was shattered by the sound of a cannon from the sky.

The rain of cannonballs fell from the sky, at a strange angle close to 9o degrees to the ground, as if the cannonballs were shot from the sky, as if the cannonballs were punished by heaven!

The sudden attack caused confusion in the fleet. But under the strict military discipline of Noxus, the chaos subsided in a short time. The destructive power of this shell was not amazing, and the fleet did not suffer much damage, but the continuous rain of shells caused an inevitable delay in the fleet's navigation, and the entire fleet plummeted.

In the distant seas, the Stabbing Sword. Xia Mang, who was standing on the boat with a calm face, put down the binoculars. His body was as straight as a gun, and he didn't know when he had put on a dark black commander's hat on his head, and with a "Zheng" sound, he pulled out the silver stabbing sword at his waist and shouted: "Forward!" The left full rudder lifts the spinnaker, all to the west! ”

The sea breeze was strong, and the sails of the Stabbing Sword were full of wind and swollen. The slender hull is like a flying fish with wide stripes of gray and dark blue gliding high, breaking the waves from time to time and flying out of the water, and from time to time gliding flat against the sea, which looks light and elegant.

At this time, the ship was also full of tension. The gunners were constantly checking the loaded ammunition, they had to place the powder kegs in easy and difficult to reach, and the boatswain Fang Yan was shouting at the sailors to sharpen the blades of their swords. For the Bayer, which focused on degree, hand-to-hand hand-to-hand hand-to-hand handwriting was the main means of attack for these pirates.

Compared to the Abyss, which is equipped with nearly 200 cannons, and the combat mode is to use the firepower advantage to bombard the enemy to collapse and then close to the harvest, the degree of the Thornsword is far above it, and when it enters the battlefield, it is only the "Hunter" that is also a degree red fox Yudian.

At this moment, the Noxus battleship, which had been baptized by the cannon cannon of the Abyss, had already seen the rapid approach of the strange sea ship, and without the slightest hesitation, it was characterized as an enemy. Slowly adjust the formation and prepare to meet the enemy - when it comes to the level of craftsmanship in building sea ships, Noxus, which has always been rampant on the 6th floor, is indeed not ranked.

"Ready—fire!" Xia Mang raised the silver stabbing sword and swung it down vigorously, and the stabbing sword leaned to the right all over its body. At the same time, ten tongues of fire spat out from the left side, and the white mist filled the air, and it was the ten cannon guns placed on the port side that began to fire. The Hunter, which was cruising on the other side, also opened fire at the same time.

But the Noxus fleet is not a fuel-efficient lamp, although limited by the level of shipbuilding, the degree of warships is not at all taken into account by the top pirates present, but with the huge financial support, the armor thickness of the Noxus battleships is simply piled up to a frenzied level. Coupled with the consistent accuracy of the naval artillery, the ten guns of the Bayerblade were only two or three shots at most, and they did not pose a major threat to the rough-skinned Noxus battleship.

In fact, Chamang didn't expect much from his own artillery. On the one hand, the reason for the firing was due to habit, and on the other hand, it was also to delay the time and wait for the arrival of the large army behind - you can't let these two crispy boats be on the first pad, right? Even if the other pirates raised their hands in favor of Chamang, he still didn't agree! Anyway, he was the first to rush to the battlefield and attacked. This credit cannot be erased in the distribution of spoils afterwards.

At this time, other pirates also rushed to the scene, but Yang Fan did not rush to approach the Noxus battleship for broadside battle. Instead, they hung far away nearby and used the ship's degree advantage to engage in guerrilla warfare with the Noxian warship, which was the "piranha tactic" that the pirates had negotiated in advance.

The moment when the Noxus fleet showed its decline, it was the moment when the blood-devouring sharks showed their fangs!

This is destined to be a protracted battle!

Needless to say, the danger and thrill of it are not to be said. Although the Noxus are short, their guns are powerful, and no pirate ship can compare with them except for the terrifying Abyss, which has a terrifying firepower density. The best thing for the pirates to do is to take advantage of the ship's superiority as they are now, constantly moving around to avoid the counterattack of the Noxian battleship's guns, while continuing to pour their own firepower on the opponent, as if dancing on a tightrope, full of thrills.

But for Fang Yan, who was on the deck of the Stabbing Sword, this time was simply boring.

Fang Yan, who is proficient in naval warfare, is not even as good as any pirate on the ship who has been at sea for a few years, he can't operate the artillery, he can only shout and let people fire, as for the more important ship management work, it is naturally more distant from Fang Yan, even the deputy captain Holly, who has the best relationship with Fang Yan, does not dare to let Fang Yan touch it.

Now all Fang Yan did was to keep walking around the deck, observing the movement process of the pirates when shooting artillery, and at the same time subconsciously substituting himself, or standing in a safe place and raising a telescope to observe the situation of the entire battlefield.

This situation lasted for several hours, and not only the gunners and operators were divided into several shifts, but even the guns on both ships were divided into several shifts to allow time to cool down, so as to avoid the thermal deformation of the gun chamber and the final explosion of the chamber due to its overuse. Even so, explosions happen from time to time.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, a huge hole exploded on the side of the second five-masted battleship of the Noxus fleet, and the hull was unstable for a while, and the sea water poured into the hull, and the ship slowly sank in the shouts and cries for help of countless people on board.

The remnants of the Noxian side: one five-masted ship, three three-masted ships, and Gilgamesh's armed merchant ships are half of the combat power. In fact, if you accept employment with other city-states, you will abandon the agreement and retreat directly when you lose more than a third, not to mention that the losses have reached this point now. However, the soldiers of Noxus have always fought to the death! As long as it is an order from above, even if the battle is to the last man, Noxus will still not retreat! This is the real reason why Noxus is famous for Valoran!

Encountering such a difficult hard bone, even if the Pirate Alliance is as treacherous as a ghost, it still suffers a lot of losses. There were only five remnants of the pirate group that had been out of the ten or so before, including the Abyss, the Stabbing, and the Blackbeard, and the other ships had long since sunk into the sea, and only a few people were rescued by other pirate ships who found a chance - such a rare opportunity to recruit elite subordinates is rare.

As the battle dragged on, the morale of both sides continued to slip as the losses increased, and even the morale of the undisciplined pirates dropped even faster - pirates also knew how to die a rabbit and a fox. For this protracted war, which does not know when it will end, the pirates at the bottom of each ship have become tired and afraid.

And now, when the second five-masted ship of the Noxus fleet collapsed, and only one flagship was still struggling to support it, and it seemed that it could no longer hold on!

All the pirates were in good spirits and cheering!

The remnants of the pirate captains have all seized this opportunity!

"Kill it! Broadside battles! ”

The time of the decisive battle has come! (To be continued)
