Chapter 314: Strange Fog
And although Ye Feng is quite confident in his own strength, he has not reached the point of conceit. 35xs
Therefore, he knew very well that if he encountered a powerful pirate ship when the Verne had no war supplies, then they would most likely be consumed alive by the enemy's kite-flying tactics.
It's nice to take out the enemy with kite-flying tactics, but once the positions of both sides are reversed, then it's really uncomfortable.
Therefore, in the end, he could only regret and order to return to Turtle Island.
And even at the current fastest speed of the Veril, it will take at least nearly a week to return to Turtle Island.
Although according to the charts, it is known that there is actually a small port one or two days to the west of the sea where the Verne is now located.
However, it is a pity that although the pirates and the British navy have not yet formed a situation at this time, the pirates want to trade and dock in the ports owned by the United Kingdom.
But that is also absolutely impossible, after all, this is simply a slap in the face of the British Navy in the open!
After all, if it is on the vast sea, according to the current delicate relationship between pirates and the navy, as long as it does not happen to encounter pirates attacking merchant ships, then under normal circumstances, the British navy will turn one eye and close one eye.
Speaking of which, it is time to talk about the delicate relationship between pirates and the navy at this time.
Because the strength of the British Navy at this time was far inferior to the Spanish Armada, so in order to gain time to grow.
Secretly, the British Navy began to cooperate with the pirates, allowing them to plunder ships belonging to the Spanish side, so as to buy enough time for the growth of the British Navy.
Therefore, under such a premise, as long as the pirates do not openly slap the navy in the face and other provocative acts, the British navy will let the pirates go.
And from any point of view, the open entry into the regular port is a provocation to the British navy.
And more importantly, the various treasures seized on the Verde at this time could not be eaten by such a small port. 35xs
In addition, this time, according to the calculations of Comptroller Lorev, if all the wealth harvested this time is sold, then there will be at least 50,000 gold pounds!
With such wealth, Ye Feng is of course ready to convert it into combat power as soon as possible.
The first step, of course, is to reequip all the guns on the battleship, after all, the current types of guns on the Vere include three-pounder guns captured from military warships, two-pounder guns captured from pirates and merchant ships, and even a few one-pounder guns sporadically.
With such a variety of artillery models, it is certainly an obstacle for the battle.
After all, I want to know that it is definitely much more efficient to use a unified type of artillery than to use a variety of types of artillery.
And to be honest, Yefeng still felt that the caliber of the three-pounder gun was still a little small, so he planned to replace all the guns with four-pounder guns after selling all his wealth.
In this way, even if the number of his artillery does not increase much, its lethality has increased a lot!
And if he wants to accomplish such a goal, a small port is definitely impossible, so he can only go to Turtle Island to achieve such a goal.
Because of the mixed dragon and snake Turtle Island, it can be said that more than 70% of the pirates on the Caribbean Sea are concentrated, which means that 70% of the pirates on the Caribbean Sea will go to Turtle Island for trading.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that even if Turtle Island is the farthest away from the Verl at this time, it can only be visited by acquaintance.
After Ye Feng's order was given, the sail operators immediately turned the angle of the sail by more than 70 degrees, and at the same time, dozens of handfuls of wood pulp stretched out from both sides of the cabin in an instant.
Thanks to the joint efforts of the oarsmen and the sails, the battleship, which was originally full of treasures, was finally able to increase its speed to more than 15 knots.
For the next few days, Nightfeng didn't have anything else to do except stay in his room and cast some skills that didn't cause much movement. 35xs
After all, most of the time on the sea is very boring, which is the main reason why pirates are very keen on gambling as a recreational measure.
After all, staying on a battleship with limited local space makes most of the entertainment measures impossible to achieve.
And because the people of the sea devoutly believed that it was a very ominous thing to take a woman on a ship and sail!
Therefore, if you are left in this way, there is only the entertainment of gambling, which does not need to occupy a large area and does not have many scruples to relax your mind!
However, Ye Feng is not very interested in gambling, after all, there is that time, it is better to cast a few more skills to be affordable?
As the saying goes, nine out of ten bets lose.
And the most important thing is that gambling is really addictive like drugs.
How many beautiful families have been separated because of gambling.
In this way, Nightfront spends a few hours each day increasing the proficiency of his skills, and the rest of the time to alleviate the headaches caused by overusing skills.
By the time the Vere sailed to the fourth day, the Vere was not very far from Turtle Island.
And during these few days of sailing, they did not see even a shadow of a ship.
However, on the fourth day, Ye Feng, who was originally sleeping because he was dizzy from practicing skills at night, suddenly heard a terrible scream in his sleep.
This terrible scream immediately woke him from his deep sleep.
Before he had time to freshen up, he immediately took out his magic crossbow and walked briskly to the deck.
As soon as he stepped onto the deck, Yefeng suddenly found that all around the deck of the Verne was shrouded in a layer of gray fog.
It's quite common to see hurricanes and waves on the sea, but it's not very common to see foggy weather like this.
But what made him wonder was that even in foggy weather, the pirates wouldn't let out the screams that they had just screamed, right?
At this time, except for the night blade on the deck, the rest of the pirates who were resting in turn were also gathering in a sleepy way.
Except for a small number of pirates who knew how to take advantage of their weapons, most of them either forgot to take their weapons or ran out in a hurry without their clothes on.
Presumably they thought that the terrible screams just now meant that the Verr had been attacked by a sneak attack?
Seeing the pirates like this, Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, pirates are pirates, although they have a brave and ruthless outlaw character, but their loose discipline and inability to fight tough battles are also their fatal shortcomings!
But this is also a matter of no choice, after all, if you want to be a pirate, isn't it mainly to be a pirate for freedom?
If you want to discipline pirates with strict discipline, the next day, you will find that there are only two or three pirates left under your command, big cats and kittens.
As the pirates gathered on deck, a terrible scream was heard from the wheelhouse.
Night Blade and the others hurriedly ran to the helm room to check the situation.
However, in the wheelhouse at this time, except for a pool of blood scattered on the ground, the helmsman who was supposed to stay here at the helm has disappeared.
You know, less than a minute has passed from the screams to the time they ran to the wheelhouse.
And to do such a thing in such a short period of time, the strength of the attacker can be imagined.
In the next half hour, screams were heard from all over the battleship, and then when the pirates arrived, they found that all the pirates who were supposed to stay here had disappeared strangely, except for a pool of blood left on the ground.
Such a strange situation made the hearts of the pirates on the battleship can't help but become flustered.
In desperation, Nightfront had no choice but to immobilize the battleship, and at the same time let all the pirates on the battleship, including the gunners and oarsmen, gather on the deck.
With the pirates in the center of the deck with torches and weapons, he surrounded the pirates with lickers, dire wolves, and the fire elementals Adyan and Iceness.
In this way, it will not be so easy for the attackers to make the pirates disappear again.
Sure enough, when Yefeng's method was implemented, the strange disappearance was really well controlled, and in the next half hour, there was no more strange disappearance of pirates.
However, as time passed, Ye Feng's heart began to become anxious, after all, although it seemed that he could hold out for a while longer.
But he can't just stay like this.
After all, pirates always have to eat and rest, and at that time, they will be alone again.
Therefore, the most important task at present is to find out the situation of the attacker, to see who the attacker is, and to take appropriate measures.
Unfortunately, after questioning all the pirates, no one saw the attack happen.
Just as Nightfront was thinking hard about what to do.
Everyone suddenly heard a faint strange sound from the fog around them, which seemed to sound from the bottom of their hearts, and even if they covered their ears, they couldn't block the sound of this voice.
As time passed, under the torture of the strange atmosphere and the faint strange voices that appeared in the bottom of their hearts, several pirates really couldn't stand this torture, so they directly took up their weapons and rushed hysterically into the thick fog.
