Emperor Wang seemed to understand Irin's words.

I kept screaming, and suddenly I was excited.

Two shiny dog eyes in the dark night, on the Queen, like two light bulbs glowing green.

"Beat the navy?"

Among the pirates, someone suddenly whispered.

"Are we going to beat the navy?"

"Aren't you running?"

"We're pirates!"

"But the captain is right, isn't it natural for pirates to beat the navy? Yo? Wait, what's that right? Oh shit, can this be drunk? ”

“……”

Ruth's eyes widened.

Finally, she realized that Irin wasn't joking.

That's right!

It's logically coherent and not the slightest bit wrong.

As a pirate, you should go and beat the navy!

Irin nodded affirmatively.

"What magnification is your telescope?"

Ruth: "??? ”

Irin didn't talk nonsense, and directly stuffed the military-grade telescope in his hand into Ruth's hand.

Ruth raised the binoculars and saw that Irin's telescope was much higher than her bargain, and she didn't code it, just a glance, Ruth judged all the movements of the warship in the distance.

HMS Queen...... Targeted!

Navy warships are chasing this side at full speed!

Ruth's expression was solemn, and in her mind, she quickly calculated the currents, the direction of the wind, and visually measured the tonnage of the opposing warship...... All kinds of data, through the [Navigation] skill, gradually converged into a terrible answer in Ruth's calculations.

Even if you turn around now, sooner or later you will be caught up!

Unless...... The Queen can be protected by the sea!

But is it possible?

There were two women on the Queen.

It is very likely that the warship in the distance is also the "bad luck" brought by the two women.

Thinking of this, Ruth no longer hesitated, like a woman in the wind, put down the binoculars, and decisively gave instructions one after another.

"Listen to the captain! The Queen is ready to attack! ”

"Yo-"

All the pirates cheered instantly.

Although the pirates are greedy for life and afraid of death, they are inexplicably confident in this ship and their captain at this moment.

Maybe it's because of what Irin's doing on the island of Tetuga, or maybe it's the mysterious "black magic" he shows.

If this mystery is on the opposite side of the pirates, these pirates will definitely not hesitate to turn around and run away.

It's just that now, the skeleton gentleman with the mysterious power of "black magic" is the captain of this ship!

And that dog who slapped people to death!

All this is a source of confidence for the pirates.

In an instant, all the pirates on the Queen, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, moved neatly under Ruth's command.

In the dark.

The other side of the Queen.

It is a heavy warship reinforced with armor.

- "The Brave".

It is said that the origin of the ship's name is to commemorate the "Dreadnought" that was sunk by the intrigues of those damned pirates many years ago.

Known as the sister version of the "Dreadnought".

On the Valian, a richly dressed man in an officer's wig, with a calm face and as resolute as a knife, was holding a telescope and staring without a word at the skeletal flag fluttering in the dark night.

"Huh...... Did you really turn around? These damned pirates really don't dare fight us head-on. ”

"Report Lieutenant General Pope! That pirate ship turned around! Are we going to keep the pursuit? ”

Lieutenant General Pope: "Hmph! Burn the wind! As long as it's a pirate, we won't let it go! ”

The adjutant standing beside Lieutenant General Pope hesitated for a moment: "Lieutenant General, do you think that the fiancée of the Governor will be on that ship?" ”

"Hehe, how is that possible?" Vice Admiral Pope shook his head: "Half a month ago, Nolando's stupid fleet was shipwrecked, the whole army was wiped out, Nolando drifted to a desert island, if it hadn't happened to run into a passing merchant ship, Nolando would have died a long time ago." Even the highly trained Nolando was able to barely survive that shipwreck......"

"Do you think that the Doge's fiancée can do better than Nolando? Don't forget...... She's a woman, hehe, a woman, never favored by the sea. ”

The adjutant couldn't help but ask, "Does Lieutenant General Pope also believe in those illusory 'curses'?" ”

Pop smiled coldly: "How could I possibly believe it? Those are old legends! As a member of the Royal Navy, you have to believe in science. ”

"Of course—" Vice Admiral Pope's tone changed, "if I were Nolando, to be on the safe side, after picking up the Doge's fiancée on board, I would definitely sail along the inshore waters, drop off the woman when I arrived at Port Royal, and then return Mrs. Elizabeth to the Doge by land transport." ”

The adjutant smiled: "I really deserve to be Lieutenant General Pope, and I am really steady." ”

"Wait."

Lieutenant General Pope frowned suddenly.

In the telescope.

The pirate ship with a strange skull flag had a white thing erected at the stern.

It is very bright in the dark.

If you look closely, it turns out to be a pair of dirty white panties.

When Pop saw this, he was speechless.

When the adjutant saw Lieutenant General Pope's strange expression, he also raised his binoculars.

After a few seconds, the adjutant's expression was the same as that of Lieutenant General Pope.

"Ah, this? Those damn pirates, they're in vain...... Flag? Are they trying to surrender? ”

Lieutenant General Pope was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"My stupid adjutant, do you remember, what was the first lesson we learned at the Naval Academy?"

The adjutant nodded.

Because on the title page of each textbook of the Naval Academy, three sentences are neatly printed -

[Pirates must die!] 】

[Pirates never speak the truth!] 】

[Beware of every pirate's rope!] 】

These three sentences of naval military training, every qualified navy has memorized them over and over again, and they are familiar with it by heart.

Lieutenant General Pope: "Remember, we're dealing with vile and hateful damned pirates, who rob ships, rob banks, destroy execution grounds, pretend to be judges, and they do all kinds of evil...... They surrendered? It must be a conspiracy! ”

"My subordinates understand!"

"Everyone! Reload the shells! Burn the wind! Once the pirates are in range, listen to me and be ready to fire! ”

A barrage of instructions went on.

Pop twisted the telescope in his hand.

Suddenly.

In the widest view, he saw an elegant and mysterious black figure.

Is that...... Tuxedo???

“？”

Pope couldn't help but put a big question mark.

Across the sea, on the other side.

HMS Queen.

Irin lowered the binoculars.

As the two ships approached one after the other, Irin stared at a man holding a telescope on the enemy ship for a moment.

"The commander of the other party?"

Irin smiled.

Ruth looked nervous.

She also looked through the binoculars and roughly guessed the cannon equipment on the enemy warship.

It seems to be just a mid-class warship, not much different from the tonnage of the Queen.

But it is clear that judging from the hull of the other side, which has been obviously reinforced with steel plates, if the two sides open fire and fight, it will undoubtedly be the Queen.

JIO IS DEFINITELY AFRAID TO WEAR SHOES, AFTER ALL, IF YOU STEP ON EACH OTHER, JIO WILL DEFINITELY HURT MORE, THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

- And the other party seems to be wearing iron boots.

In the cold wind.

The body covered his cold legs and shivered.

"Dear great captain, can the faithful Charlie put on these pants?"

Ruth was speechless at Irin's act of pretending to surrender in a whim: "Do you really think they'll believe it? ”

"I don't believe it."

Irin concluded.

"And you're still trying?"

"Just try, and you won't get pregnant. However, it seems that the impression of pirates in the minds of the navy is very bad...... Oh yes, Charlie, you can get your pants on and roll. ”

Emperor Wang Tiandi squatted on the bow of the boat, waving in the wind.

The two ships got closer and closer.

Ruth's expression became more and more nervous.

The shells have been loaded.

On the Brave, there was a sound of chains clattering from the iron plate at the bow, and two delicate bow guns were pushed out of the hull, and the barrels of the black holes pointed straight in the direction where Irin and Ruth were.

"It's now!"

Ruth suddenly screamed, and in her nervousness, there was a hint of breaking in her voice, and she didn't have time to pay attention to it.

"Anchor!"

"Lower all the sails!"

"Right full rudder! Sharp turns—"

This kind of backward sailboat, when moving and turning, driving a boat is different from driving, and the car can be said to drag racing, turning when it says turning, and braking when it says braking. But in order to steer a medium-sized sailboat, the wind direction, the currents, and every part of the boat must be taken into account.

Thanks to Irin on Tetuga Island, regardless of the cost, he directly recruited nearly 200 people on the Queen, so that the most important thing for this Queen is manpower.

Hiss –

Aboard the Brave!

Before the Queen's sharp turn, Pop also waved his hand and gave the command.

"Bow gun, gun! Destroy these damn pirates! ”

Boom Boom –

In the dark night, the two bow guns of the Brave spat out dazzling tongues of fire, and the cannonballs burst out of the chamber.

But what no one expected was that just half a minute before the cannon was discharged, the Queen, which was within the firing range, suddenly made a 180-degree turn on the sea, and in the blink of an eye, it went around to the side of the Brave!

The two ships were so close that in the sea breeze, Pope could even smell the rum wafting from the dirty pirate ship.

The Queen's sudden sharp turn only made the battle-hardened Admiral Pope pause for a few seconds, and then sneered disdainfully: "This old-fashioned nautical technique again?" Stupid pirates, don't you know that since the Intrepid was destroyed by this move, your sharp turn tactics have long been recorded in the textbooks? ”

Thinking of this, Pop continued to command unhurriedly: "Damn pirates are on our right side!" The right-chord cannon is ready, all shells are loaded! Wait for my command! ”

On board the Queen.

Ruth bit her lower lip.

Her tactic of counter-bombing after a sharp turn is indeed an old-fashioned tactic, passed down by word of mouth among pirates, and is said to be the wisdom left behind by a legendary pirate.

But the other party seemed to be unhurried by this change, and all the gun ports on the right side of the Brave were opened, and dozens of cannons were pushed out, and the Queen was separated by a small ocean, facing each other coldly.

Go on like this—

Perhaps, it was the Queen that was sunk!

Right now.

On board the Queen, all the pirates, no one noticed, and Irin raised the telescope again.

Keep your eyes on the tallest and most sinister figure on the enemy ship.

"I guess you're the commander......"

Irin whispered, coughed lightly, and spoke loudly into the air across the sea.

"Let the world feel the pain from now on!"
