Chapter 23: Trade-offs
As the two warships gradually separated, looking at the Sea Dragon and other battleships heading towards the Howling Wind fleet, it was only then that Barbossa and the others finally understood what the luck that Night Feng had just said was.
He didn't attack Barbossa at this time, but helped them kill a large number of rebellious pirates.
Although Barbossa is confident in their own strength, the outcome of the battle is very unpredictable, after all, the rebellious pirates make up most of the sailors on the Black Pearl.
And at this time, if Nightfeng cooperates with those rebellious pirates, then Barbossa and them are really dangerous.
However, for Ye Feng, of course, he also wants to snatch all three of the Pirate King's tokens in one go, but if he is too greedy to do so, it is very likely that he will not succeed in seizing any of the tokens.
After all, the enemy is not a fool, can't he escape if he can't beat him?
Although Nightfeng has the ability to transform into a powerful dragon, once Barbossa's Black Pearl is sunk, will he still be able to reach the pitch-black seabed where he can't reach for his fingers, and rely on luck to find such a tiny token like a blind man?
And if you don't become a dragon, it would be good to be able to kill one pirate king just by fertilizing the three of them, but now you have to face a full three pirate kings.
Therefore, at this time, we must make a decisive choice.
And for Ye Feng, there is no doubt that the Howling Wind Pirate King is a must-kill target, so at this time, he naturally decisively chose to temporarily let Barbossa and them go and concentrate on dealing with the Howling Wind Pirate King!
In addition, it is also important that he is very jealous of the black witch, and must not forget that although she is only a mortal wizard now, she was once one of the gods, and no one knows if she has any killer features or something.
In fact, when Yefeng wanted to make a move, for some reason, he was already in the black witch's body, and he felt a faint threat that could threaten his life!
It is worth mentioning that at this time, when he commanded the fleet under his command to meet the Howling Wind Pirate Regiment, he saw that the Black Pearl was also fast Yang Fan fled quickly in the opposite direction.
And the Black Pearl is also known as the fastest warship in the Caribbean, and after a while, it has become a small black dot in everyone's sight.
It is worth mentioning that this is still in the case of a headwind, and I believe that if it is in the case of a tailwind, then its speed will definitely be faster.
However, Ye Feng naturally didn't pay much attention to the escape of the Black Pearl, but he didn't care, but it didn't mean that the people of the Howling Wind Pirates didn't care, after all, for Shao Feng, the main purpose of his visit this time was to snatch the Black Pearl battleship, which is known as the fastest warship in the Caribbean.
Another purpose is naturally to take revenge on Jack Sparrow who once humiliated him, so it is naturally impossible for him to let the other party escape.
It is worth mentioning that in his original script, the Black Pearl, which accounted for most of the crew, should have been robbed by his subordinates now, and now the other party's escape behavior is undoubtedly illustrating one thing, either Taihong's subordinates rebelled, or there was an accident, Taihong and they were killed by the enemy.
But no matter which one it is, it is impossible for Shao Feng to let the other party leave.
Therefore, soon, under his order, the battleship under the command of the Howling Wind Pirates also immediately turned around and chased towards the Black Pearl, and at the same time, the bow gun on the battleship also immediately opened fire, firing solid shells to stop the other party's escape.
Accompanied by the thunderous sound of shelling, I saw that huge water columns were shooting out from time to time on the sea near the Black Pearl.
It's just that the artillery of this era was mainly mounted on both sides, and the bow and stern were only one at most.
It is worth mentioning that the number of fleets brought by Shao Feng this time is only a dozen, so this means that at most, only a dozen bow guns can attack the enemy.
And the low accuracy of the artillery in this era can be imagined, so after several rounds of salvo fire, until the Black Pearl completely disappeared above the sea level, the Howling Wind Pirates' artillery fire also failed to hit a single shot.
At the same time, after careful observation, at this time, First Officer Li Yan finally found the flagship of Shao Feng's Pirate King in the fleet, a Class I battleship known as the Empress!
And after finally confirming the target, Ye Feng also roared angrily at this time, and then saw that his whole person was also in the smoke, transforming into a huge and powerful fire dragon.
Then I saw that he also suddenly rushed towards the warships of the Howling Wind Pirates.
It is worth mentioning that the men of the Howling Wind Pirates were really stunned for a while when they saw the dragon, and then they suddenly came back to their senses, loaded the projectile and fired at the dragon.
Because it was the only way they felt they could stop the dragon.
Because there is only one ship with one gun, and even if the entire fleet fires all the guns, at most it is only a dozen guns, and this kind of firepower is obviously not enough in the face of this legendary dragon.
Therefore, when he saw the opponent's fleet, he immediately turned around, changed the direction of the sails, and with the huge force of the wind, the battleship that had been going straight forcibly and quickly turned sideways, and turned one of them to the dragon.
Then I saw that on the originally flat hull, there were also sudden cannon muzzles.
"Boom......!"
With the salvo of one side of the gun position, I saw hundreds of projectiles whistling over.
Although the huge fire dragon made a timely dodge move, dozens of cannon pellets still successfully hit its dragon scales.
It is worth mentioning that although the fleet of the Howling Wind Pirates only has a dozen warships, the worst of these dozen warships are Tier II warships, and the other ones are the top Tier I warships.
Therefore, most of the artillery on these battleships also belong to the category of heavy artillery, and more than a dozen pounds of cannon pellets are also banging on the dragon scales under the huge impetus of the gunpowder explosion, although the dragon scales are not cracked, but there are obvious uneven traces on the dragon scales.
And each shell can actually cause hundreds of damage under such a high defense and damage reduction of the night front, so this round of salvo alone has caused at least thousands of life damage to it.
Fortunately, the artillery of this era is still at a very backward level in terms of loading and firing, from the time a shot is fired to the time it is reloaded, even a skilled gunner needs a full minute, not to mention that these pirate gunners are obviously much more amateur than professional naval gunners.
And at the speed of the Night Front, in the interval between the pirate gunners reloading, he had already successfully flown over the fleet.
At this time, I saw him suddenly open his bloody mouth, and at this time, he could clearly see that a large amount of fire elements that were so rich that they were so rich that they quickly converged towards his mouth, and after a while, a hot and huge fireball instantly erupted.
This is exactly what his Dragon Flame Breath is capable of!
"Boom" with a loud explosion!
I saw that the deck of one of the Class I warships instantly burst into flames, and countless pirate firemen were on fire and let out terrible screams, and then they jumped desperately into the sea as if they were dumplings.
While waiting for Long Yan's breath ability to cool down, he also directly flicked his powerful tail towards the battleship's mast.
There was a loud "click", and under the slap of his dragon's tail, the thick mast also snapped apart, and the fallen mast also smashed a big crack on the deck.
However, at this moment, the other warships finally reloaded their shells, and with the thunderous sound of shelling, a large number of projectiles rained down.
This time, because Ye Feng, who was busy destroying the battleship, also suffered a greater number of cannon pellets.
It is worth mentioning that there were more than a dozen or so projectiles among them, which mistakenly shot on the battleship behind him, and I saw that the hull of this battleship was also blasted out of several large holes in an instant.
When the sawdust was flying, a large number of pirates were injured by mistake, and even unlucky eggs were directly hit by the cannon pellets and were blown into a puddle of meat on the spot.
Soon, with the sound of gurgling water bubbles, a large number of water bubbles also bubbled up on the surface of the sea near the battleship, and after a while, it slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
At this time, Ye Feng naturally shifted the target to another battleship, destroying it in the same way, first using the Dragon Flame Breath Ability to severely damage the battleship, and at the same time using the blazing flames to kill a large number of pirates, and then simply relying on his strong body to destroy the structure of the battleship.
At the same time, when Yefeng was vigorously destroying the warships under the command of the Howling Wind Pirates, at this time, under the leadership of Fat Consumption, the fleet of the Hundred Beast Pirates led by the Sea Dragon had also successfully approached the Empress's side.
At this time, a large number of rope hooks were thrown out from several battleships at the same time, and the Empress was firmly tied to the body of these warships.
Then, a large number of pirates rushed up from their warships with a shout, but what awaited them was a few low-powered three-pounder guns.
There was a loud "boom", and when the smoke of gunpowder was filled, I saw a large number of steel balls like raindrops directly shrouded in a curtain, and a large number of pirates who boarded the ship also suffered heavy casualties in an instant, although the power of these three-pounder guns was not very great for ordinary warships even if they fired solid bullets.
However, for ordinary humans of flesh and blood, in such a close hand-to-side battle, even a mere three-pounder cannon fired a number of shotguns, but its lethality was not something that pirates without armor could compete with.
It's just fortunate that it is precisely because of this that the enemy does not leave a large number of companions on the deck in order to arrange the relationship between the shotgun killing game, because the shotgun attack will not distinguish between friend and foe.
Therefore, as long as you find a way to deal with these less than ten gunners, then it is equivalent to directly occupying the enemy's deck.
There is no doubt that at such a time, it is naturally time for the contractor to appear!
At this time, I saw a fat man suddenly rushing over with a dazzling shield.
Although there was only one enemy, the cautious pirates immediately set fire to their guns, and a large number of steel balls swept in again.
"Jingle Bell!"
I saw a large number of steel balls hitting the shield and making a large number of gold and iron sounds, but fortunately, this shield was indeed big enough, big enough to protect most of the fat man's body behind.
Therefore, under the attack of this rain of steel balls, he survived successfully unharmed.
At this time, the pirate gunners who saw this scene also immediately roared angrily: "Damn, give me a solid bullet, I don't believe that his shield can still block the bombardment of solid bullets!" ”
But just as they hurriedly began to load the solid bullets, they saw a black shadow suddenly pop out from behind the fat man, and I saw this black shadow stretch out his hand towards the gunners, and after a few seconds, I saw a large sharp ice ring suddenly pop out from under the gunners, and this ring-shaped ice blade also killed the ten pirate gunners on the spot.
This is the fifth-order skill of the Night Blade - Severe Winter Ice Ring: Summons a ring-shaped ice ring on the ground at a distance of 5m x 5m, dealing a fixed 200 points + the user's mental attribute x3 ice elemental damage.
Of course, Night Edge is now transforming into a dragon destroying the enemy's fleet, so what appears here is naturally his clone, although the clone can't cast high-level skills, but skills like this below the sixth rank can be cast.
Although this skill is somewhat deficient in the face of powerful bosses, it complements each other well in the face of these large numbers of cannon fodder-level gunners.
Because the clone only has 50% of the basic attributes of the body, and it can't inherit any piece of equipment, talents, and titles from the body, the most important thing is that once the doppelganger dies, it can't be summoned in this mission world.
Therefore, the clone was also smart enough to hide behind the fat consumption, and used him as a humanoid shield, successfully surviving the first round of artillery salvo and unharmed.
At this time, when the clone succeeded in killing the gunners who were operating the three-pounder gun, the other pirate warriors also took advantage of this opportunity to quickly rush forward and seize control of the deck.
Under the command of the doppelganger, a musket team composed of pure flintlock muskets, with a total number of 90 muskets, divided into three rows, 30 people each, aimed the muzzle of the gun at the entrance and exit of the cabin, once the enemy dares to come forward, a row of lead bullets to strafe past, it will definitely bring great surprises to the enemy!
At the same time, the clone also immediately cast a summoning circle, and a large number of primary-level elemental creatures and contract creatures were summoned to this world under the summoning circle, obeying the instructions of the clone.
In addition, there are 6 skeleton soldiers, because the doppelganger cannot inherit the equipment of the main body, and its basic attributes are only half of it, so although the main body can summon sixteen skeleton soldiers, but with the spiritual attributes of the doppelganger, it can only summon up to 6 skeleton soldiers.
