Chapter Eighty-Eight: Divine Blessing
Jack nodded and took out a folded piece of paper directly from his jacket pocket, and unfolded it directly on the chart, this structural map they read seven or eight times in half a month, in addition to marveling at the huge project, they also knew that the protective armor of the Golden Treasure Ship was very high, and the 24-pound gun was difficult to penetrate, and the cargo volume was very amazing.
A trace of greed flashed in Chen Ye's eyes, and he quickly concealed it, because when he saw this structural diagram, a line of prompt information would actually appear on the retina.
Chapter Ninety-Six: Attack on Two Pirate Leaders
[Golden treasure ship structure diagram: quality gold; Demand for top craftsmanship / top manufacturing; By following this structural diagram, you can make a "Golden Treasure Ship"]
"Look, under normal circumstances, the bottom compartment of this treasure ship is the largest, and it must be used to hoard treasures, and the first and second floors are used for supplies, Captain Zheng is proficient in broadside warfare, he should know what is the worst thing if the supply cabin is placed on the deck, right?" Chen Ye asked.
"You mean fire attack?" Zheng Shi's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood.
Chen Ye nodded and said: "That's right, as long as our fire oil incendiary bombs are shelled from these four positions, if it is the bottom warehouse, it will be very ineffective because of the cold sea water, but if it is on the deck, even if it is wrapped in thick steel armor, the food and water inside will be greatly damaged, so every time the harassment tactics are executed, we can divide into three groups, the first batch of ships is slow and leaves quickly after provoking the frigate, the second group of ships is medium speed, catching up from behind and unenveloping the frigate, and the third group of ships is fast, Rush into the effective range and use fire oil incendiary bombs to focus on these landing points, and before surrounding, quickly leave, because the other party's orders will not be so timely, so there is a high probability of being able to get out. ”
"Good! That's it! Zhou Dong high-fived and smiled, not only because Chen Ye was his person, but because he saw Chen Yulun who had the wisdom bead in his hand and the bamboo in his chest.
Xiao Er's eyes were obviously full of appreciation, he opened his mouth but couldn't find the slightest mistake, the originally powerful enemy, under Chen Ye's explanation, suddenly became a rag sack full of loopholes, Xiao Er even thought that there was no need for the four pirates to make a move, I was afraid that Zhou Dong's fleet, as long as this Captain Chen assisted, it could also drag down the golden treasure ship.
"You are not a pirate...... Zheng Shishi suddenly said a sentence at this time, she said with an inexplicable look in her eyes, everyone was inexplicably surprised by her words, but Zheng Shi's next sentence made them nervous.
"You can't have the tactical and strategic literacy that an ordinary pirate can have, you went to a naval school?" Zheng Shishi asked, which made them almost think that Chen Ye was a spy planted by the navy.
Chen Ye shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think that those who came out of the Naval Academy must advise you not to do it, I usually just love to read...... If you don't believe me, how about I take on the most dangerous front line and let me be the shelling ship of the third wave of fire and oil bombs? My boat is fast. ”
Zhou Dong's eyes were stunned, and he hesitated slightly, which made Chen Ye a little disappointed, originally thought that with their favorability, Zhou Dong would definitely say something to stop it, but now it seems that it is not what he thinks, this short hesitation also made Chen Ye decide to leave Zhou Dong's team as soon as possible.
Shore and Jack Scott glanced at each other and whispered to each other to discuss, but Zheng Shi directly voted in favor, as long as one of the two of them was in favor, this matter would be done according to Chen Ye's plan, and soon Jack Scott and Shore both voted in favor, and the next step was to decide the big captain of this joint operation, because it was Chen Ye's plan, and finally Zhou Dong also persuaded others to become the big captain of this operation.
"So what's the first thing to do?" Zhou Dong asked Chen Yedao as usual.
Chen Ye narrowed his eyes, looked at Xiao Er and Zheng Shi's before saying: "If you want to be consistent with the outside world, you must stabilize the inside, at this time we can't let go of any accidents, especially Saint-Malo There are still 2 unstable factors, although Wickman was solved by me, but his fleet was not completely sunk, if they unite to intercept us, and even want to get a piece of the pie in the final stage, I don't want to take out the Fei Lang who has been put in my pocket and redivide it." ”
Everyone heard the meaning of Chen Ye's words, looked at each other and smiled, and Jakescott said: "Then go back and prepare, at one o'clock in the morning, we will launch an attack on the Sabertooth Shark and the Hell Prisoner parked in the harbor, and Ms. Zheng will be responsible for taking them down on the shore." ”
After all, everyone is a pirate who is used to seeing blood and betrayal, and there is no psychological pressure on this kind of thing of turning his face and killing, Chen Ye interjected at this time: "Then I asked Luke to take a team of people, I heard that he was slapped twice, it was done by Pyros and Moken's men, I hope he can personally cut off one of the arms of these two guys." ”
Although everyone is a pirate, they are still slightly surprised by Chen Ye's ruthlessness, but no one objected, only a person with this temperament can be regarded as a pirate, right?
This night, Chen Ye slept very peacefully, he had already confessed that he had already confessed, Luke was arranged by him to go to the bar to take the initiative to provoke the other party, and there were many witnesses present, so when this request was made, no one objected, and even Zheng Shishi in order to express goodwill, he also agreed to the condition of "as long as I leave two live mouths to take the ransom, and the rest will be disposed of casually", everything is in Chen Ye's calculation, the reason why he went around in such a big circle, in the end, he still had to deal with it with the help of the hands of Jakescote and others, Chen Ye is to separate several pirate forces, so that he can take advantage of the fire, and first completing the "Legend of Hekboz" is the last word.
At one o'clock in the morning, the Pearl was the first to attack, although there was only one ship, but Jack Scott's Pearl was notoriously fast and ruthless among pirate leaders, with 16 24-pound guns and more than 50 skilled gunners trained in shelling, and in no defense, directly blasted Pyros's mechanical steamer, the Sabertooth Shark, to pieces.
Shore's Goddess of Victory is a standard Viking warship modification, with a very narrow hull, there are dark compartments on both sides of the bottom compartment can stretch out the oars, 24 oars sailors work together, its short-term power is no less than that of a mechanical steamer, on the flexibility is still excessive, the most terrible is the Goddess of Victory at the bow of the collision angle, this collision angle can be said to be experienced in a hundred battles, I don't know how many ships buried under this collision angle, tonight Moken's hell prisoner five-masted galleon was also hit by the collision angle of the Goddess of Victory, I didn't hold on for even 5 minutes and sank in the offshore zone.
Zhou Dong's advantage is that the fleet is huge, and the firepower is superior, and now he has developed to more than 30 warships, under the leadership of the Tiger Shark, those pirate ships that have just sailed out of Saint-Malo have not had time to see their enemies clearly, they are all blown to pieces, a few hours later, after a night of fierce fighting, the open sea of Saint-Malo is full of drifting plank fragments, and in order to take care of Chen Ye's sleep, Manrhart drove the ship to a distance.
When Chen Ye woke up, he only felt refreshed, he played melee fists and kicks with several sailors on the deck, and soon saw Luke's figure, this guy came back a few hours earlier, Chen Ye didn't wake up at that time, Luke went to make up for sleep, at this time he made a special trip to see Chen Ye, and handed over two things to Chen Ye, he went with Carter, as Howard's daughter, she had participated in more than one Pirate King party, how could she not know the Pirate King's token.
One is a pendant made of shark teeth, and the other is a rag sail, but when Chen Ye got it, he immediately got a hint that these two were indeed the "Token of the Pirate King", one of the wreckage of the "Hekboz" ship, although I don't know which part of the ship this shark tooth is.
These two things were prompted as task items, and there were no prop attributes, so Chen Ye casually put them into the captain's room, and finally activated the first set attribute of the ship's equipment, "Divine Power Blessing"
[Divine Blessing: The legendary pirate Heckboz's ship "Ragnarok Watcher" is a magical creature with a powerful "divinity" that has been "blessed by divine power" in the inner world, and is claimed to be unsinkable, and can enjoy the blessing of the crew's sub-skills]
[Your ship "Thunderlight" receives "Divine Blessing", "Divinity" is solidified into data, currently 4000 points, and the Divinity is equivalent to the health of the material body, and will automatically collapse when it is emptied to zero]
[Side quest 4 (hidden) "The Legend of Hekboth" has 100% completion (completed), you can continue the quest to improve the quest completion, and the reward will be settled if you take the initiative to end the quest, yes/no end?] 】
"Is it really possible to give life to matter? No wonder the world's top magical creatures are called gods! Chen Ye was amazed at the great changes in the "Thunder Light", the appearance of the Divine Value gave the Thunder Light a specific attribute, and what surprised Chen Ye even more was that the "Eye of the Storm" consumed "5000" mana value, which is now converted to 500 points of Divine Value, and I don't know if this "Divine Value" can be restored, if it cannot be restored after using consumption, it will be extremely bad, such a powerful magical creature "Thunder Light" is actually a disposable, it is really unbearable.
Of course, Chen Ye also saw that although the "Thunder Light" was his own ship, the owner wrote "Zhou Dong", and it seemed that he had not broken away from Zhou Dong's team, and Chen Ye only had the right to use the "Thunder Light", and he could not take it out of this world.
Although it has divinity value, it is already half a magical creature, but it is impossible for the "Thunderlight" to really have life, because it lacks the "soul" that every life must have, unless it is like the "Watcher of the Gods", which is given by several gods in turn, combined with Hekboz's fighting spirit to give birth to a new soul, but the collapse of the world, the gods have fallen, and there is no such opportunity again.
"It can't be said that there is no such thing at all, isn't Migno just doing something forbidden by God?" Chen Ye smiled slightly, I am afraid that the gods did not think of it, Chen Ye is actually one of the taboos, but his approach is more like making tools, and a bold idea was suddenly born in Chen Ye's mind.
Pyros and Moken used the Pirate King's token to save their arms, but they couldn't escape the fate of becoming captives, Zheng Shi and Shore imprisoned them in Saint-Malo, waiting for them to realize their ransom amount, and then released them, this is the provisions of the "Pirate Code", they must also comply unconditionally, sometimes Chen Ye really feels ridiculous, the precarious pirate, there is still such a deep faith.
Saint-Malo as a pirate city, is the lawless realm, whoever has the big fist is the truth, of course, unless the big boss behind the scenes does not agree with this truth, but since it is Jack Scott who made a move, he must have greeted the big boss, and this is all to clear the way for the battle plan of the "Golden Treasure Ship", so on the second day, Saint-Malo was calm as if nothing had happened, and there was even a special clean-up fleet to clean up the offshore area, and in just half a day, Saint-Malo resumed the noise of the past, and on this day, After the four pirates were fully prepared, they set sail and began to plunder the "golden treasure ship" of the Panya Empire.
170 nautical miles away from the ancient country of the East, is already a vast area of the far sea that cannot be seen, under the blue sky, four huge ships with a body length of nearly 500 meters side by side, tied to each other with iron cables, and laid on the template, like a sea palace slowly walking on the sea.
The 40 frigates kept a certain distance from the front and back, left and right, and a bearded middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a naval commander looked anxiously at the treasure ship on a frigate, and said to himself: "Today is another headwind, and the trip will definitely be delayed, His Royal Highness the prince is really a little willful...... No, I'll have to try it again, and it will be a few days slower than expected...... Herald! Request boarding! ”
With the exchange of flags, he quickly got a reply, and after the frigate approached the golden treasure ship on the side, he threw the rope directly, and the huge golden treasure ship was as reliable as a dock for a frigate with a body length of no more than 50 meters, and the middle-aged man got down from the frigate, and walked directly and quickly across the two treasure ships, and walked around for ten minutes before finding the prince who was dining with several noble ladies on the deck.
"Sir Ross, you're late, we've just had a meal, I didn't expect the fish we just caught to be so delicious, I'm very satisfied with this trip, and I'll definitely praise you in front of Your Majesty." A young man dressed as a typical royal nobleman of the Panya Empire said while cutting fish meat with a knife and fork.
Sir Ross couldn't say what he said, being able to be in charge of the escort of the golden treasure ship was enough to prove his ability, but ability alone does not guarantee the progress of power, His Majesty the Prince is an opportunity, because he is now the only son of the king of the Panya Empire, and there has even been a gradual change of power in the country.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, be careful, after all, when you are traveling, you should try not to eat these foods of unknown origin, I heard that some pirates will raise the fish they catch on an empty stomach in seawater with chronic poison for a few days, and only release them on the path of the target fleet when they are hungry, so that the target fleet will have a high probability of catching these fish, and something will happen after eating." Sir Ross cautioned.
The prince smiled and said, "I know your kindness, Sir Rose, but where are the pirates here?" Seeing our fleet, aren't you scared enough to run away? I'm very relieved to have your convoy here......"
"Pirates! There are pirate ships! The corvette received news that a pirate ship had been spotted 5 nautical miles ahead and was approaching us...... Another news came that the corsair had launched a shelling attack on the frigate, it was the Pearl of Jakescott! The two soldiers, one in front and one in the back, sent a message to Ross, and because Ross had left the command ship, the news had been passed for more than five minutes.
"Order the reconnaissance frigate to return quickly and leave the other side alone...... Forehead! Your Royal Highness the Prince, I suggest that the reconnaissance frigate return to the sea, after all, Jackscott's Pearl is notoriously difficult, and since he has made a move, it must not be to waste a few shells, there must be a follow-up, we are sitting on a fleet of such a size, the advantage is very obvious, it should not be broken into parts, disperse the frigate. Ross was about to give instructions, thinking that the prince was still on his side, and he was the supreme person in charge of the operation, so he explained to him that in fact, if he was in command by himself, he would know what to do when the thought was in his head, but it would be a waste of time to report to his superiors so that they could understand the cause and effect.
Encountering pirates, the prince's face turned pale, but vaguely excited, listening to what Rose said, the prince, who did not understand naval warfare, nodded frequently, and then waved his hand to give the exact same order, wasting 15 minutes before and after, but when this order was transmitted back, the reconnaissance frigate could not be found at all.
A naval battle, 15 minutes may be just one of the inconspicuous small gaps, but a small gap often causes a huge chain reaction, the reconnaissance frigate targeted by the Pearl, without getting the order, did not dare to leave the formation and pursue privately, can only passively retreat while returning fire, the firepower of the two ships is comparable, but the Pearl is faster, the steering is more flexible, and occupies the advantage of the downwind, the range is also longer, in terms of avoiding shelling, it is like an art performance.
15 minutes, you can carry out 1~2 more rounds of shelling, if Sir Ross's order arrives 15 minutes in advance, this reconnaissance frigate will not be hit because there is no evasion space forced by the Pearl, if it can be 15 minutes in advance, the frigate will not take the initiative to attack for self-protection, close the distance between each other, and expect to return a cannonball to the Pearl to hit, but the captain does not know, he is like a hungry fish, once he bites the hook, it is impossible to get out.
Jakescot had already seen the opponent's battleship bite up from the telescope, shouted with joy and turned around, in order to attract the other party into the encirclement, and even deliberately let the stern be shot, of course, that position had already been arranged for protection, only caused some deck damage, but the reconnaissance frigate was in hot pursuit as if it had been beaten with chicken blood, and as the Pearl gradually accelerated, the frigate broke away from its original course, and there was a gap of several nautical miles from the second frigate.
