Chapter 298: Arrogant Pirates
When Nightfeng described the pattern on the pirate flag opposite, in an instant, the faces of the sea ape and Dembala changed dramatically. 35xs
Then the ape immediately took the telescope from Nightblanc's hand and looked over.
After a while, the sea ape put down the monoculars with a wry smile and said: "That's right, with such a bull's head as the pirate flag, in the entire ocean, there is only one of the nine pirate kings, the Atlantic pirate king, the jocard gentleman, there is nothing wrong!" ”
Speaking of this, the sea ape couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yefeng: "Captain! Are we retreating? ”
"Retreat?"
Ye Feng subconsciously raised his voice and said: "There is only one battleship on the other side, and it is not the ship of the pirate king Jocard gentleman, so what are we afraid of!" ”
"Pass my order, ask the oarsmen to speed up and get closer, and then order the gunners to load their ammunition and fire shells at me as soon as the opposing ship has reached the optimal range of 100 meters!"
"Remember! Let the gunners give me the aim, although I don't look down on a small battleship like this, but I am still very interested in the wealth and gold coins on board, so you go down and tell the gunners to aim at the deck position and the mast position above the battleship for me to shoot. ”
Although the sea ape's heart actually didn't want to fight with the forces under the Pirate King's command, it was a pity that the captain of Yefeng had already given the order to fight, so even if he was reluctant at this time, he could only act according to Yefeng's orders.
After all, on the Caribbean Sea, the majesty of the captain is above all else.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the crew members are mainly observant of the orders that the captain has given, and once a pirate disobeys the order at this time, then it is challenging the captain's majesty.
At that time, this was undoubtedly equivalent to a life-and-death duel against the captain!
Therefore, the crying sea ape sighed secretly in his heart, and ran to the cabin below the deck to convey the battle order issued by Ye Feng!
And just a moment after the sea ape went down, the Verr hadn't taken the lead in attacking!
The pirate ship on the opposite side actually took the lead in attacking at a distance of 200 meters.
I saw seven or eight bowl-sized pitch-black cannon pellets falling from the sky towards the Verr like meteors falling to the ground.
It's just that after the cannon shot fell into the water, even the closest shell to the Verr, its distance was more than 10 meters.
At such a distance, even the huge spray of the cannonball after falling into the water could not be splashed on the deck of the Verl.
"Idiot!"
Seeing this scene at this time, Ye Feng couldn't help but sneer contemptuously!
Because in the naval battle at this time, it is recognized that the best range of artillery shells is within 150 meters, and the best is 100 meters, because this distance is not only the distance with the greatest power and hit rate in the shell launch, but also the distance with the longest range and the least power of arquebus lead bullets.
It is precisely because of this that in naval battles, as long as the pirates with a little brains are a little sharp, they will not fire shells at a distance of more than 200 meters.
After all, this is not only due to the low hit rate of the shells, but also to expose the fire situation of the Corsair in advance.
As long as the pirates are a little experienced, they can know the number of guns on the opposite pirate ship from the number of waves splashing on the water, so as to deduce how many classes of warships on the opposite side are.
Because there is also a certain limit on the number of guns equipped on different levels of warships, for example, the number of guns it can carry will never exceed 20 guns for the lowest-level VI warship, because once the number of guns exceeds 20.
Each additional gun will cause the ship itself to abandon the weight of cargo or the number of pirate sailors.
This is a significant loss of combat effectiveness!
After all, compared to one artillery piece and 5 elite pirate sailors, it is needless to say which of the two is more important.
Of course, you can also place as many guns as you want before the ship's sunken weight limit, without reducing the weight accordingly.
But in this case, even if the wind is downwind, no matter how hard all the oarsmen try to paddle, then the speed of the battleship will not be able to be fast. Flash Dance
And for the slow pirate ship, it is like becoming a live target for other warships!
Therefore, although Ye Feng is not proficient in the corresponding experience of sailing on the ocean, he can be regarded as having experienced several naval battles.
Therefore, it is still possible to simply deduce the number of guns on a battleship from the number of waves on the water.
It is precisely because of this that, through simple mental arithmetic, the number of artillery pieces on one side is seven or eight, then the number of artillery pieces on both sides should be about 15.
If calculated in this way, then the specifications of the opposite pirate ship have clearly appeared in Ye Feng's mind, and there is no doubt that the opposite pirate ship must only be the lowest level VI battleship in the battleship specifications.
At this time, Ye Feng also shook his head silently speechlessly, with a VI-level battleship, oh! No, it is more likely that it should be armed merchant ships.
Dare to be the first to attack a V-class military warship!
It seems that the illustrious reputation of the Nine Pirate Kings has made the pirates under the command of the Pirate Kings blindly confident!
As for the pirate ship's provocation, Ye Feng said indifferently: "Order the gunners not to fire back for me immediately, you must wait until the opposite pirate ship enters the best range before shooting me, I don't want to waste shells because of this!" ”
After the order was given, although the gunners were holding their breath because of this, the captain's order had to be carried out, so the gunners had to take advantage of this time to adjust the position of the gun's muzzle as much as possible, hoping to increase the hit rate of the shells as much as possible!
At this time, after thinking about it for a while, Yefeng decided to summon some elemental/otherworldly creatures that are suitable for sea combat.
First, of course, it is to increase the strength of its subordinates and reduce the losses of its subordinates, after all, the creatures summoned through the skill are even dead, but as long as the cooldown time of the skill has passed, it can be summoned again.
The second is to take this opportunity to increase the proficiency of summoning skills.
Of course, he wouldn't summon a creature like the Earth Elemental, after all, the Earth Elemental's body is too large to fight on small ships.
Moreover, the earth element is also different from the fire element and the ice element, the latter two can be suspended in the air, so even if it falls to the surface of the sea, it is not too much of a problem.
The earth element is different, once it falls into the sea, then it really responds to the idiom: the stone sinks into the sea!
After the spell was cast, along with starlight ripples in the void, a ball of humanoid flames and creatures in the shape of irregular ice cubes emerged from the void.
This is the Fire Elemental Adyan and the Ice Elemental Ice Ness!
After summoning Yadyan and Bingnais, Nightfeng didn't take a break, but cast the summoning skill again.
This time, what emerges from the void is a creature with ape-like skin glowing with emerald luster, the forest troll summoned from Contract: Trolls.
However, he also paid the price of 100 universal points for this, after all, it costs 100 universal points to designate a certain troll!
After all, in the vast sea, the other types of trolls are obviously unsuitable for fighting at sea, and most importantly, the forest trolls mainly rely on throwing poisonous wood grass to attack.
However, after the forest troll emerged from the void, Night Edge was surprised to find that the forest troll was carrying not a wooden grass, but a wooden stick in the shape of a magic staff, and its body also looked thinner than the forest troll summoned before.
He hurriedly checked the forest troll's attributes.
It was then that he was surprised to discover that this troll did indeed belong to the forest troll, but it was not the most common troll spender among the forest trolls.
It's the Forest Troll Priest!
As you can tell from the name of the class, it doesn't have much attack power.
You can't expect it to deal damage to enemies by swinging sticks, can you?
Or is it to throw this eating creature like a wooden grass?
However, although the Troll Priest didn't have much of a lethal power, Nightblanc was pleasantly surprised to find that it was able to cast a restorative ability.
Heal: Casts a ray of life on the targeted creature, restoring 50 health.
Ability cooldown: 120 seconds.
Skill cost blue: 30 MP value.
Although the health recovered by this skill is not high, the cooldown time of this skill is not long, only 120 seconds.
It's just that the total MP value of the Troll Priest is only 300 points, so after a battle, it can only cast eleven healing spells at most.
The total amount of health regenerated is 500 points!
On the other hand, although the cooldown of the skill is quite long, the health recovered is restored by a percentage.
And his health is already as high as nearly 1,000 points, so a rejuvenation technique can restore more than 300 health points.
That's almost as much health as the Troll Priest recovering from about 7 healing spells!
But even so, Night Edge was already very happy, after all, this meant that the pirates under his command would die a lot less because of their attention in the course of battle.
After all, 50 HP is of course not much compared to the nearly 1000 points of Night Blade, but for pirates with a general HP of more than 100 points.
50 HP is already equivalent to half of their life, so when the time comes, the seriously injured pirate will suddenly become slightly injured under the treatment of this healing technique.
And even if it's the rejuvenation technique on the natural staff of the night blade, the effect is not necessarily better than the troll priest's healing technique!
