"Fire at the front of that ship, warning!" Sean commanded his men, calmly watching the approaching ships.

After receiving the boss's order, the sailors not far away were busy, pushing the bow equipped magic stone cannon out of the gun door, then loading the magic stone, and then aiming and firing.

Bang!

The deafening sound made many people on the ship shudder involuntarily, and even though many people were mentally prepared, they were still frightened by the sound of cannons.

"It's strange that the coward Angus didn't take the initiative to stop when he saw our ship when he couldn't escape...... Did he think that speed would be able to escape our pursuit?"

Standing next to Sean was his deputy, Keno, who had been by his side since he had just started recruiting men.

A few years later, the sailors he had recruited had either been buried in the tranquil sea, or had amassed some money to break away and go on his own—and he would then kill him.

Only Kino was left standing by his side, becoming his most trusted lieutenant, the first mate and first officer of the Flame Monarch.

Sean, the Hand of Fire, is one of the most famous adventurers on the Calm Sea and the most notorious bandit in the seas.

As long as he is targeted, the best situation is to throw away everything he has gained and barely save a life.

Ruthless and insatiable are Shaun's synonyms, and he can do these things unscrupulously thanks to his sturdy ship and the magic stone cannon that is incredibly expensive, but also powerful.

"The situation is a little strange, maybe that coward made a big deal, so he was unwilling to hand it over?"

Looking at the ship in the distance, it was a ship he was familiar with, and it was a little famous in the calm sea.

Angus the Coward is what Sean calls him, and the adventurers on the Sea of Calm call him Angus, a miscellaneous person who specializes in robbing novices and weakers, and a cautious and respectful image when facing the strong, among which he fears the most is Sean, the Hand of Fire.

Angus is also one of the few adventurers who has been able to save Sean's life many times, because every time he meets Sean at sea, he will take the initiative to hand in his gains. Even occasionally take the initiative to contact Sean and send some gifts.

When Sean saw Angus's ship, he found that it was obviously loaded with a large amount of supplies, which made the draft very deep and the speed of the ship amazingly slow. There was also a smaller sailboat in tow, and judging by the draft of that boat, it was also loaded with a lot of things. It's clear that a 'big deal' has just been made.

But the coward didn't react when he saw his ship. The situation was completely different from the previous one made him wonder a little - could it be that Angus had found something special that he didn't want me to see, so he tried to run away?

"Fire, and if they don't stop, aim at the boat behind them!"

The more Sean thought about it, the more he felt that it should be like this, and what he cared about the most was that the thing that could make Angus abnormal was perhaps the most magical magic stone on this sea.

"Maybe it's a top-quality battle magic stone, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to do such a thing. "If it's really as you guessed, then you must not let this guy Angus escape......

The second huge orange fireball flew towards the two ships that were connected together, but this one was much closer than the previous one, which was obviously aimed a little farther away.

The roaring explosion shook people's heads and splashed far away, and Ethan and Arthur, who were standing on the deck, were drenched in the faces.

"Phew!"

He spat out the seawater in his mouth, and the salty taste made his already bad mood worse.

"Sure enough, I ran into another group of robbers. ”

He didn't know the ship on the other side, and he didn't know that it was one of the most famous villains of the Sea of Calm. The other party came up and fired a cannon directly on his way forward, warning himself to stop the ship immediately, followed by a cannon that hit the nearby sea, maybe the next cannon will directly hit the boat under his feet.

He didn't know that Sean on the other side was reluctant to sink his ship, and the previous shot was still a warning.

"Can't you fight back? Are you just being beaten passively?"

Arthur had already been fully equipped, but now that the two sides were far away, they couldn't even see the people on the opposite boat clearly, and there was no way to fight back at this distance.

"How do you fight back? We don't have a cannon. ”

Ethan had guessed that there was a similar technology in this world before, but he didn't expect to see the real thing so quickly. The two rounds just now obviously will not be the artillery they are familiar with, not to mention the power and range. The kind of energy bomb with magic fluctuations, like a compressed fireball technique, must be a technology developed based on magic stones.

"So what should I do?"

Ethan didn't know what to do, if the other party kept using the cannon to bombard himself indiscriminately, he didn't seem to have any other way to deal with it except to use the magic shield on the magic book to defend a wide area.

"Or throw all the ore away and run away with full sails?"

There were now too many things on board, severely limiting the speed of the ship, and a ship full of ore was towed behind it, which made the Caravel sailboat itself unable to play its speed and agility.

"It's too late!"

The acceleration of the sailboat was not so easy, and the current wind was not in his favor, even if he was now in a big swing and threw away all the ore on the ship in a short time, there would not be enough time for the speed to pick up and escape from the range of the opponent.

Judging from the shooting distance and accuracy of the previous two shellings, they may have been blasted to pieces by the opponent before they could finish throwing the ore.

The speed of the brain was almost extreme, and Ethan made a decision in an instant.

"Put the sails away, stop the boat!"

"What?"

Arthur was surprised to hear Ethan's words, but he made the first move, and quickly understood Ethan's intentions.

"Does that work?"

"The first shot was to warn us to stop the boat, and the second shot was much closer, but it was still a warning, and if we stopped the boat, they would not continue to fire. ”

Ethan didn't dare to guarantee 100%, but instead of passively bearing the shelling from such a long distance, it was better to simply stop the ship to attract the other party to come up, and if it turned into a close combat, at least he had a chance to counterattack the other party.

Sure enough, as Ethan's ship slowed down and finally stopped, the opposite side did not fire again.

He didn't know that Sean on the boat opposite was stunned for a moment when he saw him stop the boat.

"Why did you stop again?"

Keno wasn't quite sure, and guessed, "Maybe that coward was sleeping just now?" and didn't see us?"

"It's possible. ”

It stands to reason that he should be happier when this shows his deterrent, but Sean just can't be happy. He was expecting that the coward had taken the risk because he had found something good. Now it seems that it may just be a dream of my own.

Unhappy and wanting to vent, Sean was already thinking about how to clean up this guy Angus in his heart.

"Kill it......" shook his head in his heart. "Forget it, for the sake of his interest, I left him a life, but I took his boat, and he got a 'new boat' anyway. ”

With the decision, it seemed that the mood was much better, and Sean waved his hand to the side and ordered: "Full speed ahead, get on!" That boat is our final goal on this voyage, and then we will sail back to Stater Island!"

"Oh~!"

The sailors knew that they could enjoy it for a while after this ticket was finished, so they were all elated and energetic, and many people also recognized that the target was the coward Angus, so no one felt that there was any danger in this ticket.

"That coward will surely prostrate at the captain's feet again, obediently offering everything. ”

"Hahaha, maybe kiss the captain's shoes. ”

"You say, if I scare that coward with a knife, will he kiss my shoes the same?"

"Maybe, we'll be together then!"

"Hahaha, such an interesting thing, you must count me as one. ”

“......”

The sailors' discussions were all heard by Sean, and he had no interest in stopping what the crew wanted to do, and even had a play-watching mentality.

"It's kind of a good fun. ”

Yes, he was going to see a big fun, and in the far boat, Ethan and Arthur knew that their intention had been achieved when they saw that no cannon had been fired on the other side, but it was a headache how to counterattack next.

King Arthur, a young and hot-blooded young man who happened to be in the second year of middle school, stood firmly in the most conspicuous position on the deck, and then held his two-handed sword that had been unsheathed, quietly waiting for the battle to come.

Originally, according to Ethan's meaning, the two people hid, and then sneaked directly into each other's ship while the other party was approaching, so that the other party could not rely on the cannon to threaten themselves and their own ship, and then fought with each other.

But his first companion was a knight who advocated a head-on battle!

In fact, he also likes to face off head-to-head and knock out his opponents openly. I like the cannon of the giant ship to bombard it head-on, but the premise is that you have to have it.

"Forget it, anyway, when the other party comes up, they won't be able to adjust the bow gun to the side in a short time. He was gradually able to see some of the details of the ship opposite, which had no gun doors on the side and no more cannons on the deck.

Even if the other party was able to move the bow cannon out and use it, Ethan would be able to defend with a magic shield if he had time to prepare - and he didn't believe that those guys would dare to use the magic stone cannon to attack at such a close distance, which would not only hurt his own people, but might even damage his own ship.

"Actually, you don't have to stand here with me, there's nothing wrong with following your plan, and I don't force you to stick to the rules of chivalry like I do. ”

"No, it's just that it's too late to hide anymore. ”
