Chapter 186: Raid

Have you identified the other party?Mr. Navigator?" Putting down the brass telescope in his hand, Evan looked at Milan, who was holding the "Misty Silver Lamp" on the side, with an inquiring look in his eyes.

"Well, it's the Eagle Spirit. One of the two hundred and thirteen pirate ships that participated in the 'Moby Dick Harbor Massacre' at the beginning, it is strong and can be regarded as the first echelon under the pirate king.

Captain Aklava, First Officer Karausu, and most of the crew are from an indigenous tribe in the New World that believe in the spirit of the eagle.

Previously, the bounty for the entire pirate ship had exceeded 2,000 golden lions, and after the 'massacre', the bounty had risen to 3,000 golden lions. A big fish!"

Obviously, Aven's little test was difficult for Milan, and he told the information of the "Eagle Spirit" like a few treasures.

"In terms of strength, Captain Aklava is a wild wizard among the natives, and it is presumed that he has the level of a formal wizard, but he may be biased.

The first mate Karawusu is a unique transcendent profession among the natives of the New World, the 'Eagle Warrior', with relatively little information, and it is speculated that it has something to do with the natural spirits they believe in, at least the combat ability is not lower than that of the official knights.

In order to maintain the ruling order on the ship, except for the two of them, there are no too outstanding characters in the other crew, but this kind of preparation is luxurious enough. ”

Milan had done enough homework before setting out, and at least the two hundred and thirteen pirate ships and the pirates on board were not ignorant of the operation, and even a detailed file had been established on some of the most famous pirates.

In this process, the intelligence system of the kingdom played a huge role. However, in just a few days after the end of the massacre, the kingdom's intelligence department completed the collection and sorting of intelligence, and sent it to the navy on a mission.

This is one of the advantages of being backed by big powers.

With this information, at least it is clear who can afford to provoke and who can't. As for this "Eagle Spirit", it is obvious that it has been regarded as prey by two people!

Naturally, Ai Wen also has pirate intelligence, and Ai Wen, who is assisted by "data vision", will only be more comprehensive in his record analysis of pirate intelligence and achievements.

Evan also knew that they had once been part of the Azk Empire, a terrifying civilization that had long retained human sacrifice. When the New World was discovered a hundred years ago, it had already been destroyed by the sea overlord Sylius Kingdom, and now only a part of the scattered remnants are still surviving.

Based on the analysis of past intelligence, in terms of frontal combat effectiveness, this pirate ship may not be as good as the former "White Shark Skuk" alone, but you need to be especially careful of the sinister witchcraft that the indigenous wizards may master.

And when he can make a covert surprise attack, who would be stupid enough to engage him in a short fight? That's right, for the sake of prudence, the tactic that Evan formulated today is to use the fog as a cover and directly sink it from a distance!

"Huh, visceral divination?"

Suddenly, Aven, who was always paying attention to the movements on the other party's ship as he kept approaching, noticed an anomaly. After being immersed in the "shadow library" for nearly half a year, although the path of high-end knowledge and wizards is not particularly clear, at least the knowledge is very broad.

At a glance, he recognized the "visceral divination" that was very popular among indigenous shamans.

This kind of witchcraft communicates with animal spirits on the verge of life and death, and is able to probe information directly from the spirit world without the barriers of the physical world.

Although the "Mist Silver Lamp", a secret treasure of the sea, naturally has the ability to shield directional witchcraft, it cannot be concealed by the exploration from the spirit world. However, fortunately, there is a professional on my ship!

"Milan, we haven't reached the best attack range yet, is there a way to interfere with him?"

"Look at me!"

As a full-fledged "prophet" specializing in the school of prophecy, how could Milan's abilities be matched by those of a wild wizard who dabbled in divination?

He took out the transparent crystal ball he carried with him, and his fingertips continued to draw on the surface of the crystal ball, and soon he saw a faint stream of pure white spreading to the entire warship in Aiwen's spiritual vision.

【Witchcraft: Divination Countermeasures】

In the eyes of others, nothing has changed, but this witchcraft has actually smoothed out all traces of the warship in the spiritual world for an hour before and after. At least with that kind of superficial "visceral divination", it is impossible to detect anomalies.

......

The wizard opened his eyes suspiciously: "Could it really be that I am thinking too much about myself?"

No matter how much he doubted, the results of the divination clearly told him that everything was normal and that there was no anomaly in the outside world.

After thinking about it, he still instructed: "Lookouts pay attention to the sea situation, everyone else should be careful, the sudden fog may not last long." As soon as the visibility was up to standard, we left the area. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

It's just that in the vast white fog that they can't see, a warship with its guns out of its guns and a crew with guns is approaching at full speed, and it has reached a place less than five hundred meters away from them.

"Gun Commander, get ready, it's up to you to calibrate the cannon yourself!"

In addition to Milan, the bearer of the Secret Treasure, Aven, the Helm Chief, and the Gun Chief, who were also granted secondary clearance to see in the fog.

Not only that, but in the [Witchcraft: Psychic Connection] used in Milan, the vision of the artillery and the gunner are connected, and the ability to see in the fog is shared.

Naked cheating!

Obviously, Aiwen's plan is to fly the kite directly and put this "Eagle Spirit" directly to death!

What if the artillery hit rate is low? as long as the shell base is large enough, there will be enough hits below the waterline, not to mention that Evan plans to take action himself and use the ability of "sniper musketeer" to make a cameo appearance as an artilleryman!

In this upcoming hunt, the opponent's biggest disadvantage is that he can't see that the opponent can only defend passively and cannot attack, unless Evan is stupid enough to give up his advantage and lean forward to start a broadside battle.

"Keep getting closer, get closer to a hundred meters, go downwind! Approach from the stern, let's skewer its ass!"

Even in an active position, Evan is cautious enough not to alert the pirate ship in advance due to other unexpected factors such as smells. Before the start of the fight, no one can guess what the official wizard can do.

Meanwhile.

Each of the five white seagulls flapped its wings with a flask containing a dark green liquid, while Evan himself raised the muzzle of the "Golden Rose".

"Listen to me! Ready! Reload, fire!"

Boom, boom, boom...

At the moment when the stern of the Corsair staggered, ten 12-pounder shipboard guns on the left side of the Conch opened fire at the same time.

Unlike the usual iron cannonballs, this time there was plenty of time to prepare calmly, and Evan used a special cannonball that was very powerful: the "Scorching Bomb".

Such shells are powerful, but they need to be used with caution. The method of use is to burn solid shells until they are red, and when loading, it is necessary to plug a lump of wet mud between the gunpowder and the shell, so as to prevent the extremely hot shells from igniting the gunpowder.

It is conceivable that in the crowded and noisy cabin, there are sailors running around everywhere, piled up with powder barrels and cannonball materials, so you must be very careful when using this kind of scorching bomb, the slightest carelessness will cause an accident, so the scorching bomb needs to be roasted and transported by a special person.

But its power is also proportional to its level of trouble, and the Scorch Grenade can pierce through the sturdy hulls of enemies like paper. If you're lucky, a scorching bomb hitting an enemy's powder keg in the ammunition bay will cause a big explosion!

So if it weren't for the complexity of operation and the danger was too great, the "scorching bomb" must be the gunner's favorite!

In this fog, Aven was not worried about the pirate ship escaping, so in today's battle, Aven boldly used this big killing weapon.

Because of the early calibration, the first round of hits was extremely high, and it was very easy to open a full five holes in the stern of the "Eagle Spirit", one near the waterline and four positions high, but it was a little regrettable that this round of scorching bombs failed to detonate the Corsair's ammunition bay...

However, because of the design of the artillery deck in this era, it was able to destroy everything in its path before the projectiles fired into the stern were exhausted.

That sourness made the navy who witnessed all this feel cold...

"Enemy Attack ——!!!"

The roaring sound of artillery fire made the pirates react instantly and shouted a warning.

But this is not the only wave of attacks that have been brewing for a long time.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Five dark green potion bottles fell from the sky.

It was the "Potent Voodoo Potion (Combat Version)" that had already been completed by Dilis a long time ago! Evan also shared the results of this research because of his key contributions.

In a place as confined as the deck of a sea-going ship, something comparable to a weapon of mass destruction is far more useful than on land.
