It's very late.

Twilight.

The sea was already covered with a miserable red sunset, and there was blood.

Gunsmoke filled the entire sea.

It was a war that neither side expected.

What Puerto Rico did not expect was that the resistance of this mixed fleet of pirate ships would be so stubborn that what would have been a simple battle planned to be completed in a single charge would be dragged on indefinitely until the evening.

He underestimated the pirates' artillery, which had more range than he had imagined, and had opened fire before they were halfway within range of their guns.

As a result, the fastest ships were directly hit by the mast, and fortunately the guns, although they had an impressive range, were not powerful enough, otherwise, he would have to suffer the huge loss of five battleships sunk at long range with just one charge.

And that doesn't include his own ship, the flagship of the entire Nether Unicorn, the Nether Unicorn.

It also withstood the first round of artillery fire, with long-range guns smashing directly into the deck, and even the nearest shell almost hit Puerto Rico in the foot.

If it was Puerto Rico, of course, he was afraid of the byte and hid in the cabin, and ordered to slow down, and cowered in the middle of the fleet.

But now, unlike before, as the benchmark figure in the Noxus Navy, he has developed a bravery that does not belong to the army, even if the cannonball grazes his feet, he does not take a step back, he still maintains that arrogant posture, and even has the kung fu to kick the cannonball that almost broke his thigh, and say: "This is really bad." ”

He knew he had to keep his composure so he could win.

He's done it for years.

If he falls, then he has won everything for so many years, fame. status, power will disappear.

So in a way, Puerto Rico is a hero, a powerful hero, and after he climbed to a high position, he and most of them began to become afraid of death. The person who is not enterprising is different, he becomes more daring.

It's just because he understands that he can't do without this monstrous power, compared to the pain after losing power.

Death is nothing.

So, he was always, smiling in the face of the enemy, of course, no one knew the way, at that time. His vest is not wet with sweat.

On the other hand, as Puerto Rico's rival, Proto did not expect two things.

One, he didn't expect that this motley unit of his could compete with the legendary Nether Unicorn for so long, and after discovering the powerful range advantage of the latest artillery produced by the Skoda Arsenal, he gave up the idea of gathering and defending, which would fully become the target of the other party. Especially for troops like the other side with powerful artillery of short and medium range.

He took full advantage of the good maneuverability of his ships, as well as the advantage of the range of artillery. Guerrilla warfare was waged with the localities.

Although in the course of the battle, they were still outmatched by the strong firepower of the other side, and more than a dozen ships were forcibly eaten, causing about 2,000 people to swim directly into the sea.

But fortunately, those soldiers were all Bilgewaters, and they were all good at water, and they were rescued later. still rescued some people, so that the loss was not so big.

At the same time, in the process of seesawing, it was also incredible to kill five ships of the other side.

Five ships in a full forty-eight ships sounds like a very small number. But you must know that even if the Sea Emperor Trident personally attacked in the past, it would only kill ten ships at most.

This feat alone was enough to leave a mark on Proto's name in the history of piracy, although the cost was more than half of the ships damaged and more than a thousand people drowned.

And the second point, which made him feel extremely angry, was that he had held out for so long and had not even waited for reinforcements.

This is a very abnormal phenomenon, unless, the head of the area has defected, or, has been completely killed?

As for the answer, Proto still prefers to believe the latter, although it will seem that his own troops are too weak, but it is better than the previous answer.

That means that the entire Bilgewater Navy has fallen into a great crisis.

"Ammunition is running out." Bibabbo climbed up from under the deck, wiped a handful of sweat mixed with blood from his face, and barely breathed his breath.

"Yes......" Proto sighed.

Despite all the efforts to save, the ammunition inevitably ran out.

There's no way around it, it's been almost a day of fighting, and the ammunition in reserve has been holding out long enough.

In the current situation, it is only a matter of time before we lose.

"If no one comes before dark, then we ......" Bibabo couldn't go on, looking at the enemy warships on the sea, although they looked a little miserable, but still cruising and whistling, he felt a deep helplessness.

Could it be that today is the end of my Abyss?

"I'm not going to lose yet." Proto took a deep look at the sunset on the horizon, Huo Ran turned around and said, "I will never let the Abyss be destroyed in my hands, never." ”

As he spoke, he walked briskly to the captain's quarters.

He had to speak.

Although he had sent someone to Chen Senran to euphemistically ask if he could ask for help, the terrifying dragon shark never appeared on the battlefield again.

Is it resentment?

For up to three years, almost captive-like treatment.

Still is......

He didn't dare to think about something deeper, it was something that couldn't be said, and it was the most terrible game.

Use human life.

Proto suppressed the thought and knocked on the door to the captain's room.

Inside, the window was open, and the man named Graves sat with a cigar in his mouth, sitting leisurely in the evening breeze mixed with the smell of blood and gunpowder, and the setting sun rose and fell in front of him.

And Chen Senran, and the most reluctant hope, they ...... He was playing a kind of two-player solitaire.

Fitz the little fishman even yawned very boredly, in this most terrible moment of life and death.

His heart sank a little, but he still whispered: "Jack, I need your help, if you don't make a move, then everything is over, I know, you ......"

"Oh my God, Proto, you need my help, why didn't you say it sooner?" Chen Senran pretended to be surprised and threw away the cards in his hand, "You are really not a friend enough, I thought you were busy, so I didn't bother you." ”

"I need help." Proto repeated, his eyes already bloodshot.

He hadn't had such a tired moment in all these years.

He was suddenly tired and faced with a situation that he had no control over.

"Fitz, help our friends, let's go." Chen Senran patted the little fishman on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Nice, willing to serve you." Fitz yawned and jumped out of the window, "Shark!! ”

With a loud falling sound, the entire Abyss trembled.

"Thank you." Proto slowly exited the doorway.

"Is that really good?" Graves dropped the first cigar and clapped his hands, "You still have a tough battle to fight on land." ”

"That's enough." Chen Senran smiled deeply. (To be continued......)
