In fact, like this reincarnation world, the main quest does not limit the time, and there are very few cases where the reincarnation can be explored at will, unless the upper limit of difficulty has reached an extreme, so Tianshu will give up using time to limit the reincarnation, you must know that after Chen Ye completes the enhancement, he barely reaches the judgment of silver quality, which is still after calculating the super-grade talent of "bottom force", in fact, his true attributes, aside from the title bonus of "military strategist", even a zombie bird may not be able to compare, And the main quest he faces is already the most extreme existence behind this world such as the "North Sea Giant Demon Kraken", and it is conceivable that its difficulty has exceeded the 2nd level, and even increased to the 3rd order.

In addition to Chen Ye's own death, deliberately suppressing the task clues, and gradually discovering the deep-seated secrets of the world, Chen Ye also guessed that it was likely to be the last reincarnation world, he almost half-cheated by borrowing Lin Jianguo's hand and obtained a harvest that should not belong to him, of course, it is not excluded that another reason is not ruled out, the reincarnation of the previous reincarnation world is almost dying, and only 3~4 people survive, which has caused some punishment mechanisms.

"Thinking about it from another angle, is it possible that there are too many people who have survived, so it will be more difficult?" Chen Ye said to himself.

The Thunder Light rode the wind and waves all the way, and arrived at the Poburo Strait 2 days later, nearly half of the estimated time, Carter reminded: "From here straight through, it is the Caribbean Sea where pirates are rampant, and now it is the once every ten years of the Pirate King Gathering, at this time the situation in the Caribbean Sea is even more powerful, unless it is escorted by the Imperial Navy, otherwise, no merchant ship dares to pass through here, it can be said that 100% will encounter piracy raids, we must be especially careful." ”

Chen Ye stood at the bow of the ship and waved his hand, signaling to continue sailing, Luke immediately gave the order to go down, the speed of the Thunderlight was slightly reduced, Carter led all the gunners into the gun compartment to stand by, Manha also knew that the position of the "Poburo Strait" was dangerous, and he was very cautious to arrange the lookout to be on guard all around.

After 4 hours of sailing, the Lei Guang did not encounter any attack and successfully passed through the "Poblo Strait", but not long after the Lei Guang passed, the lookout came with the news that there were ships behind him blocking the exit of the "Pobro Strait".

"It's 'Sea Serpent' Wickman, this guy likes black to eat black the most! He claimed to have twenty warships, but in fact most of them were medium-sail clippers, and it must be the best armed three-masted ships blocking us, so I suggest that we turn the bow of the ship now, break through with strong firepower, and retreat first, and there must be a huge fleet in front of us to block it. Carter said with a sweat on his forehead.

"News came from the lookout, there is a large fleet of ships in front of you, and the left and right have been surrounded!" Manerha came over at this time to report.

"Bang!" Before Manerha's words fell, a shelling fell not far from the Thunderlight, which brought out Chen Ye's anger, although he knew that most of the pirates in this era were scum who "killed people and set fires" without order, but if they didn't agree with each other, they would directly destroy the ship, which was against the "Pirate Code".

Carter wanted to say something, Chen Ye waved his hand and said: "It seems that someone is poor and crazy, and he wants to bite into anything, so let's try to break a few teeth!" All the gunners are in position, Carter, you go to the gun room, I will control the bow gun myself, and Manha will be in position in the wheelhouse! ”

Luke quickly passed on Chen Ye's orders, and the several sailors who survived were now serving as squad leaders on the Thunder Light, and they were convinced by Chen Ye's worship for no reason, so that the Thunder Light quickly entered a combat state, and the original normal speed was immediately increased by 2 knots.

On the Sea Serpent, Wakman was holding a monocular and observing the steamship with the "patch", although he also saw the "pirate flag" hanging by the other party, but he didn't care about it, because among the six existing pirate kings, only the "sabertooth shark" Pyros got a large steamship as a flagship, and the other pirate kings were only greedy, this thing was only developed in a few large empires, and it did not do long-distance trade, most of the time it was exclusively for the navy, and Wakeman had long wanted to get one, I didn't expect this opportunity today.

"Captain, that pirate mark, it seems to be Zhou Dong's, that guy is not easy to mess with, do you really want to rob it?" The first mate on the Sea Serpent asked.

Wakman slapped him and said, "Could it be that I just fired the cannonball to say hello to him?" Let me back down now, how will I still be at sea in the future? From the prince and prince to the farm chores, which one of them dare not rob? What about him Zhou Dong? He's not a pirate king yet, so I'll rob him and let him bite me! What's more, this is just a lone ship, if you don't say it, who knows that I robbed it? ”

The first mate was hesitant to say anything, and Wickman turned around and ordered, "Guys! Surround me, I want that steamer, my flag in perfect condition! ”

"Captain, the other party seems to be speeding up! With such a fast speed, are they planning to break through? The lookout on the Sea Serpent sent a message.

Wakeman hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked, only to see the Thunder Light draw a perfect arc on the sea, at a distance of 1500 meters from his fleet encirclement network, suddenly turned to the left, he hurriedly asked his subordinates to play the flag, let the right wing accelerate, the left wing pulled away slowly, opened the encirclement net, and prevented the prey from breaking out.

"Is the steamship so fast? If they want to break through, we can't stop them at all! The first mate of the Sea Serpent exclaimed.

Wakman gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't stop it, stop it!" Command to go down, artillery fire! I'd rather have a broken boat than not even touch a sampan! ”

"Squeak ......" Thunder Light has opened the gun hatch, opposite is Wakeman's left flank fleet, Wakman left flank is 5 mid-sail clippers, each with only 4 12-pounder guns, the firing distance is only 800 meters, this kind of thing is similar to a toy in Chen Ye's opinion, although he is also equipped with some, this is already the high-end firepower that pirates can get, the distance is 1500 meters, it has reached the range of 24-pound battleship heavy guns, but Carter has not shot yet, she is still waiting for the best shooting distance.

At a position of 1000 meters, this is a very suitable range, the starboard gun compartment 4 battleship heavy guns fired in turn, 4 huge solid shells slid across the sky, and hit the opposite side solidly, only one of them, 1 Zhongfan clipper with a body diameter of the Thunder Light was beaten to pieces, and a full 3 shells fell on it.

"Let's go!" Wakeman was so frightened that he didn't even pick up the telescope in his hand when it fell to the ground, and the burning and sinking sailboat on the left wing didn't need a telescope anymore, and he could see it when he opened his eyes.

"This is a pirate ship? Didn't we mess with the naval warships? This shelling is too accurate! The first mate directly shouted out Wakeman's heart, but Wakeman, as an extremely vicious pirate leader, could not easily admit defeat, and he slapped the first mate in the face again.

Carrying out a "precision strike" on a target can have a better effect than scattering fire, and the sailors on the Thunder immediately cheered, and Manha skillfully turned on the spot, originally to the front of the left flank of Wakeman, but now it became, and the rear of the right flank was the most accurate to the left flank of Wakeman's left flank flotilla.

"Get out of the way!" Wakeman shouted, but before the sailors could tell the other party in the flag, after four shellings, another sailboat was on fire, this time there was a slight error in the head, only one shot hit, but the heavy guns all had excellent burning gunpowder, and the sailboats were mostly wooden, under the high-speed friction, the sailboat was ignited at the first touch, and soon the fire burned the sailboat's canvas, although the sailboat did not sink, but it could only stay in place and watch the next round of shelling stupidly.

After turning the bow of the ship, Chen Ye's bow gun directly faced the opponent's three-masted flagship Sea Snake, Chen Ye's bow gun was a steam-mechanical long-range gun, plus his "proficient shooting" and "eye of the storm" bonuses, Chen Ye believed that he could hit even with his eyes closed, "boom", the bow cannon sounded, and a solid gunpowder bullet the size of a watermelon hit the bow of the Sea Snake, and the powerful kinetic energy directly smashed half of the small bow.

"I don't know if Wickman is dead, that position is the captain's favorite position." Chen Ye thought to himself.

Manha skillfully turned the direction, a left roundabout, cut the distance of less than 50 meters to the other side, and aimed the gun bay on the starboard side at the target, this time it was still beaten to the left wing flotilla that lost its soul, followed by the right maneuver, two rounds of shelling, directly crippled the left flank flotilla, and only one sailboat was left to quickly withdraw from the battlefield.

"The essence of naval warfare is speed, range, and concentration of superior firepower. An old sailor said as he loaded Chen Ye's bow gun.

Chen Ye thinks that this sentence is very correct, if it weren't for the Thunderlight, it could only be regarded as a medium-sized steamer, with a full load of 48 people, but there were enough 16 guns, and the personnel to load the shells were not enough to rotate, otherwise, under the repeated shelling, the twenty ships of Sea Serpent Wickman would not even react, and half of them would be wiped out directly.

"Boom, boom!" Wackman's fleet finally reacted and began to counterattack Chen Ye, but the 12-pound light gun and headwind, basically fell into the sea before the Thunder Light fell 100 meters in front of it, which also proved Manha's precise control of the "Thunder Light", just this hand maneuver approaching, it was enough to prove his clever helm skills, only within 100 meters, he made 3 maneuvers, so that the "Thunder Light" was completely invincible.

"Stick it up for me! Full fire! Chen Ye, who sensed that the wind was in his favor, immediately asked Luke to give the order to go down.

The Thunder Light approached again, and when it reached the limit range of 800 meters, it suddenly turned to the right flank flotilla, 8 guns fired concurrently, and then turned the bow of the ship, and another 8 guns fired, 16 shells, landed on 6 sailing ships, let the dense gather together, and exploded at the right flank flotilla of the Lei Guang after all.

The sailors on the Thunder Light cheered, never thought that one of the pirate kings, the "Sea Snake" Wakeman, was such a parallel product, just relying on the loading advantage of the Thunder Light, he was beaten half-disabled, this is actually thanks to the blow of Chen Ye's ship's first gun, he did hit Wakeman, but Wakman is also a silver quality character, it is impossible to die like this within the range of the cannonball, but he was indeed stunned, lack of combat command, and no Wakeman's ability to cover, his fleet, In artillery warfare, it is no different from an ordinary armed cargo ship.

The Sea Snake stared at the dilapidated bow of the ship, and hurriedly retreated backwards, the four escort ships beside it ran faster than it, Chen Ye looked back, the two three-masted ships that originally blocked the way back had already fled separately, ordinary sailing ships had almost no resistance to the thunderlight's firepower that was more powerful than the naval battleship, and the shelling hit rate was too accurate, anyone who saw it would be afraid, seven or eight of the ten shells did not miss, which is incredible for pirates who are proficient in naval warfare, completely upended their understanding of artillery warfare.

Chen Ye ignored the scattered fleet, just stared at the Sea Snake's pursuit, the ammunition of the bow gun was very valuable, Chen Ye was reluctant to use it again, but after narrowing the distance with the Sea Snake, he used side shelling to shatter the stern of the Sea Snake, I don't know if the anchor of the Sea Snake was knocked into the sea, the flagship was so lonely at sea, and even began to show signs of sinking.

The thunder light threw a hook more than ten meters long and pulled the sea snake, and Surut exerted enough strength on this side, directly pulling the sea snake almost to the side, but the sea snake's mast also happened to tilt to the thunder light's mast, this is to let the sea snake with the help of the thunder light's buoyancy, not so fast to sink, the reserve team is also prepared near the contact point, all holding big axes on standby, once the thunder light can not bear the weight, it will immediately cut off the sea snake's mast and quickly get rid of the entanglement.

Mast portrayal is not a common tactic used by pirates, generally only whaling ships equipped with hinged octaclaw hooks will be used, when six strong sailors push the wheel along the direction on the winch, even huge whales are difficult to escape, of course, Chen Ye does not have hinges for whaling, but there is Surut is enough to compare to the strength of six sailors to push the winch.

Chen Ye held two guns, took the lead in climbing the mast, and slid directly along the sail of the Sea Serpent, almost did not stand firm when he landed, because the ship was tilted, Chen Ye had a feeling of stepping on a 45-degree slope, but a good sense of balance made him quickly adapt, "Bang bang!" Two shots were fired into the sky, and Chen Yehao suddenly said angrily: "Start robbing now!" Everyone squats down for me with their heads in their hands! ”

Nearly 100 sailors on the Sea Serpent, excluding those who were seriously injured and died, there were also sixty or seventy people left, naturally it was impossible to listen to Chen Ye's words alone, and immediately someone pulled out a gun and raised a knife, Chen Ye unceremoniously shot directly, facing the pirates who treated human life like a mustard, Chen Ye had no mercy at all.

It wasn't until a few accomplices died that Manerha, who followed Chen Ye, also boarded the Sea Snake with ten good men, that these guys were honest, and they squatted in a circle near the mast in the middle of the deck, and ordered Manerha to take people to watch, line up and search one by one, Chen Ye rushed into the cabin with 2 sailors to search.

"See, what did I catch? A big fish! Chen Ye kicked open the captain's room, and saw the ship's doctor squatting in the corner of the bed in a panic, and on the bed was a person with scorched black clothes and bandages, looking at his face, Chen Ye would not admit his mistake, it was the "Sea Serpent" Wakeman, he had a high bounty in several nearby countries, and his head alone could receive a bounty worth 40W francs from various countries.

"Tie me up and bring me back to the ship, and the ship's doctor, bring the healing medicine, I don't want to face a dead snake later." Chen Ye kicked Wakeman and found that he was only in a severe coma, and there were several cuts on his body that had been blown by the shelling, but none of them were life-threatening.

As the flagship, the Sea Serpent did not store any valuable cargo, but more than a hundred people had some belongings with them, and Chen Ye also found a strange thing in the wheelhouse.

[Serpentine rudder (1/9): quality blue; Ship equipment; One of the nine tokens of the Pirate King; The flexible use of S-shaped routes can effectively avoid shelling; Set Attributes??? 】

A rope woven with the hair of an unknown creature hung a blue and white snakeskin pattern circular buckle, if it weren't for its bright color that caught Chen Ye's attention, Chen Ye categorically couldn't find that there was a good thing like "seat ship equipment" on this flagship, you must know that after the effect of the "eye of the storm" was tested, it was very sharp, and Chen Ye had a strong interest in all kinds of "seat ship equipment".

Put the "Serpentine Rudder Wheel" into the Sumeru space, Chen Ye carefully searched the entire Sea Snake again, and made sure that nothing was missing, and then returned to the Thunderlight, as for those pirates, they followed the content of the "Pirate Code", evened some supplies from the Sea Snake, put down the two small boats, and let them squeeze together, and then sank away with the waves carrying the floating load, as for whether they can survive, it depends on luck, relatively speaking, Wakman and his ship doctor have been much luckier, at least they don't have to face the survival rate of less than 1%.

However, at the moment when Chen Ye returned to the Thunderlight, he suddenly stopped and was stunned, only to see that a lot of information appeared in his retina, and it was his long-awaited hidden branch task, he couldn't help but take out the "serpentine rudder plate" and play with it again, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

[Side quest 4 (hidden): The legend of Hekboz, the legendary pirate Heckboz's ship is said to have sunk in the Forgotten Sea with a huge amount of treasure, many pirates who went to the Forgotten Sea salvage, but only salvaged 9 wrecks, and later became the token of the nine pirate kings, at least 3 tokens were collected to verify the legend of the legendary pirate Heckbox; Yes/No Pick-up】
