Seeing that Baldwin now has some spicy eyes.

Aivan, who was holding a notebook and preparing to record it, couldn't help but pause the tip of his pen.

This kind of "skin" is worn out, you don't have to fight first, and your morale will be reduced by half!

Change, must change!

"Ahem... Let's try the combat power. Fleck, you're going to be Baldwin's opponent!"

"Yes!"

Fleck stepped out of the crowd again.

After performing the etiquette of a duel with a sword.

Trample!

At the same time, step and rush towards each other.

The wind howled, and the two of them moved quickly across the deck with training swords in hand, crackling and crackling.

Bang! Bang...

Now they have a bit of what they were when they were fighting on the "Yellow Bird", when Evan and "Blood Anchor" Zack fought.

Soon.

Ai Wen already has a rough evaluation of his first "Activated Animal Skin" work.

Obtained the basic version of the "Extraordinary Military Swordsmanship" inheritance, after a long period of hard training, he barely reached the mid-apprenticeship level, representing the level of most battleship crews.

At this time, he was able to fight with Fleck.

You must know that at this time, Fleck has steadily stepped into the late stage of the apprentice knight, and has also been instructed in swordsmanship by Ai Wen many times, and he is already a good hand among ordinary sailors.

Even the "activated skin" made of ordinary sharks has given Baldwin at least a small level of improvement, and he has the ability to fight a late-stage apprentice.

In the sea, suitable demonic creatures are hard to come by, but how many ordinary ferocious fish are needed?

"Alright, let's stop!"

You don't need to see the end for Evan to guess the outcome.

Although the "Activated Hide" is powerful, its own power is limited, and after a certain amount of time it has exhausted its own power, it will begin to absorb the power of the host.

Or you can use it again after removing the possession state and soaking it in a special potion to recharge.

The swordsmanship level of the two of them is only at the entry level, and neither of them has an overwhelming advantage, and they are gradually stalemate.

The final result of the fight was that the "Activated Hide" reached its own limit, absorbed the power of Baldwin's body, and was beaten back to its original form.

The duration of the "activated hide" depends on the quality of the "activated hide" itself, as well as the physical fitness of the host.

It doesn't make much sense even if it continues.

And...

Hostile targets for this mission to block supply lines have appeared!

My heart moved.

"Attention units, the target has appeared! Repeat, attention to units, the goal has appeared!"

A slightly immature, but serious voice sounded on the boat.

At the same time, a snow-white owl with a wingspan of almost two meters flew out of the captain's cabin and landed on the boom of the battleship's mainmast.

Facing the deck, the crooked beak of the bird closed one by one:

"Attention units, the target has appeared, the distance in a straight line is 180 kilometers, please be ready!"

The alarm just now turned out to be from the bass.

At the same time that Evan was promoted to a full-fledged wizard, it had apparently benefited greatly. The body size is a little smaller, and it appears more sturdy.

Wisdom has also been enlightened, almost like an ordinary teenager, even the vocal system has been modified, and he has the ability to speak.

Beth, who kept his heart and soul with Aven, learned so fast that he couldn't even beat simple tactical jargon now, and probably even knew more words than many crew members who hadn't attended grammar school.

Now, in addition to Captain Aven's pet, it has also gained another identity - the herald of the battleship "Storm Horn"!

The officers on the ship were immediately pulled into the same channel by Milan's psychic connection and saw the situation on the sea in the distance.

"Huh, hordes of pirate ships? And these people are in... Bastard!!"

In the south of two battleships.

A distance of about one hundred and eighty kilometers.

A mixed fleet of four pirate ships flying different flags appeared on the surface.

"I can't stand Mallory's disgusting fellow, butcher, butcher, what's the point of killing ordinary people like pigs?

It made the ship drenched in blood, and it was never cleaned up, and it stinked.

The ship he's been on can't afford anyone else! How can his crew stand such a thing?"

The mixed fleet consisted of a three-masted galleon and three sloops, which were normally only used in offshore waters.

Especially the three-masted galleon with a red skew, judging by its shape, it turned out to be a fifth-class military ship!

It belongs to a large pirate "butcher" Mallory who has just arrived in the "Golden Sea" from the Old Continent, and is also a fish that escaped in the "Navy Nova Project".

Although he has not been in the New World for long, this great pirate has carved out a place in the pirate city of Shipwreck Bay with his madness and bloodlust of men and women, young and old.

Believe in your own strength, you don't need enemies, you don't need companions!

As long as someone drives a boat for themselves and gives them a pot of wine, they are a pirate group by themselves!

After getting this fifth-class ship of the Thessaly Kingdom for a long time, Mallory never thought of giving it a serious name, but made a name for himself in the "Golden Sea" with that bloody sail.

Even if the quality of his crew is a little worse, a veteran knight is not a cabbage anywhere.

Judging from the route of this pirate fleet, it is clear that under the call of Bradley, the pirate king of the "Golden Sea", even Mallory, who is a newcomer, is one of the responders to the attack on the colonies of the two countries.

Or the main force of this fleet!

However, his bad habits are a little unbearable even for fellow pirates.

Cannon branding, nail stabbing, bone crushing... Every scene is impacting the psychological limits of normal people.

The captain of the "Sturgeon" pirate ship in the fleet, "Greedy the Greedy" Jobbri, couldn't help but say the above words to his first mate.

But.

If you think that this is a "chivalrous" pirate with a little conscience, you are very wrong!

Jobrie would not tell anyone that he simply fell in love with the military fifth-class ship that was not valued by the "butcher". In the hands of a guy like Mallory, it's a tyrannical thing.

It is said that even among the privateer fleets organized by the government, the fifth-class cruisers, which are relatively balanced in all aspects, are the absolute main force.

If any pirate can get a warship as a car, it will definitely be a two-way bonus of fame and fortune, gaining strength and prestige.

Just need to watch out for another guy... His eyes subconsciously looked at another sloop behind him with various Southern Continent Anuma decorations.

It was as if I heard the sound of rodents gnawing on human bones on the iron altar again.

I couldn't help but curse secretly: "If you peel off their skin, will it still be a human being? Whether it's Mallory or that black Moprati, they're all perverts!"

After intercepting and killing a Phaletis merchant ship that happened to pass by, there were basically no living people under their hands, and it was worth a lot of money to sell these people as slaves, right?

"Ahh

"Don't... Leave me alone!"

Listening to the poignant but extremely weak cry for mercy coming from the fifth-level ship not far away, it was obvious that he was not really a sympathetic guy, and his face turned and he laughed twice:

"Hehe, I think Mallory is half-crazy, maybe one day he suddenly loses control and becomes a beast.

When the time comes, it is very possible to receive his fifth-level ship without much effort!"

Cjobry, the "greedy man" standing on the lead ship "Sturgeon", was thinking about what was wrong in his mind, and suddenly noticed that a mist had risen on the sea in front of him.

"Huh, why is it suddenly foggy in the sea this season? Shouldn't you have reached the fishing grounds of Cape Giant Horn yet?"

.......

"Confirm the goal!

A fifth-class cruiser, confirmed to be a Tulip Alliance-shaped warship, the pirate captain senior knight 'Butcher' Mallory.

Three sloops, with a total number of not less than 3 people.

The total number of pirates was not less than 500, and the number of shipborne guns was 80, most of which were 9-pounder guns...

Repeat mission objective: block the route and prevent all kinds of enemy ships from entering the engagement zone as much as possible!"

Bess had already informed the crew of the pirate fleet, which was literally formidable.

With three or four Transcendent captains and over 500 bloodthirsty pirates, it's enough to capture some small colonial cities.

At this time.

Aven's reconnaissance network has exceeded 200 kilometers, and the constraints have been further expanded by the hardware base of the seabirds themselves.

However, the current scope of investigation is just right, and even if it is expanded, it will not be more strategic for Aven.

First of all, even if more than 100 seabirds are released, a vacuum area will inevitably be created in a large area, which will create a vulnerability in the detection network.

Secondly, the distance was too far to exceed the limits of the action of the "Storm Horn". If the enemy is found 200 kilometers away, if it is not in the right direction, it can hardly catch up with others, and can only watch the other party slip away from under his nose.

In addition to its own improvement, upgrade the seabird network, expand the flight formation, improve the action of the battleship, improve the combat effectiveness of the crew... It all needs Evan to improve and improve little by little.

Even so.

Aven had also easily spotted Mallory, who had taken all of the Phletis captives and slaughtered, and Moprati, the Anuma man, who was crouching on an iron altar and gnawing on bloody human bones.

This kind of scene that shocked the three views made Ai Wen and all the officers on the line stand on end.

It is normal to be defeated and killed on the sea, but to be slaughtered like livestock and eaten by the same kind like cattle and sheep is far beyond everyone's psychological bottom line!

Moreover, those who were killed were the citizens of the Kingdom of Pharytis that they were supposed to protect!

Then Evan issued orders with the chill of Sensen.

"Captain Robbins, let's teach these damn guys how to behave!"

"Milan!

The tactics of "fog of war" and "kite flying" have already proven their effectiveness in the last time they hunted pirates, and this time the ships are bigger and there are more guns, and this tactic will only be more powerful.

A 24-pounder gun from the lower gun deck would have sent the fragile sloop to the bottom of the sea in just one round.

Thereupon.

The two battleships were ready to fight with their pockets open before they were far from entering the pirate horizon.

It's just that the engagement time is a bit long.

Even if the two sides sailed opposite each other, the distance of 180 kilometers took more than six hours to make the four pirate ships plunge headlong into the fog released by the "misty silver lantern".

On the "Storm Horn", Evan rarely used honorifics:

"It's up to you, Mr. Boris, and I'm very much looking forward to the 'Gunnery Ultimate' that will push the artillery performance to the limit, and what effect it will be on these sea scum. ”

Even if it weren't for the task of blocking the supply lines, Evan was not prepared to give these guys who had lost their bottom line a chance to survive.

Among the officers on the ship, a tall middle-aged officer with light blonde hair and a messy beard stepped forward and solemnly saluted:

"Yes, Captain, you won't be disappointed!"
