Act 275 Naval Dogfight (4)
Half an hour ago, the "Tempest".
"Captain, I think there are some situations you need to take a look at."
"What's wrong?"
"You look at these signals on the radar, they've been in this state since just now."
The captain frowned slightly, judging from the speed and reflection value, those signals should be sailboats, it is normal to encounter sailboats in the sea of Anglia, but the situation of these ships is a little worrying.
"Mark the trajectory of those ships."
"Yes."
After the radar crew maneuvered, the previous trajectory of each sailboat on the screen was marked.
Looking at those lines, the experienced captain immediately understood that there was a chase battle going on in front of him!
"That's the problem...... Ahead is the area of engagement, and if we continue on our current course, we will have to rush headlong into it, what shall we do, Count? ”
Although he has ascended the throne and claimed the throne, the nickname of Count of White Steel cannot be shaken off.
Bai Gang thought for a while and said, "Can our drones be used in this weather now?" ”
The captain said, "Yes, but the risk is great. ”
"Then let's release the drone when we get closer, let's see who is fighting before we make plans, if the opponent is a sailboat, we should at least not have any risk."
"Understood."
This time the white steel they were lucky, the storm did not blow the drone into the sea, they managed to get the picture ahead.
As soon as the drones approached the combat area, the operators immediately focused their cameras on the flags on each ship, and neither side was chasing them with all their might, and a small black shadow in the stormy sky was watching their every move.
As soon as the ship's flag was filmed, the computer began to compare it.
Relying on the information collected in the Holy Duze Empire, the base has established a database of Anglian heraldic flags, which can be used to clearly distinguish the forces to which each party belongs.
"Sir, the results of the comparison are out. The pursuing side is the fourth-ranked pirate force 'Bone Knife' in the Western Sea, and the attacked side belongs to the side branch of the Glenn family in the White Sands Kingdom. ”
"The Glenn Family ......"
Bai Gang called up the information of the Glenn family in the Pad, which was not surprisingly very rare, but simply described that a hundred years ago, the Glenn family produced several amazing genius knights, and became one of the giants of the White Sand Kingdom.
But what's more...... Then there is no more.
It's not that Morey III's people are unwilling to help, it's that the Holy Duze Empire is really too miserable!
Although a hundred years ago, the Holy Duze Empire was still the big brother of the Seven Southern Kingdoms of the human race, except for the southernmost three kingdoms, the White Sand Kingdom, the Black Rock Kingdom, the Brighton Empire, and the Glenhar Kingdom were all vassals of the Holy Duze Empire.
But since the Orc Empire in the northeast of the empire began to move south frequently, the Holy Duze Empire has become plagued by disasters.
Orcs, undead, and rebellions have tormented this ancient empire in turn, so much so that in the past twenty years, after the only way for the Seven Southern Kingdoms to lead to the Holy Duze Empire, the Echo Canyon has become a battlefield, they have simply regarded the Holy Duze Empire as a dead country.
In fact, this would have been the case without the help of Base Storm.
The Holy Duze Empire in this state has long lost the energy and ability to deliberately collect information on the seven southern countries, and it can also give a brief introduction to almost all the nobles of each country, which is already a great power.
Bai Gang had a headache, and he really didn't know who to help in his current situation, or simply not to help each other?
Just when Bai Gang couldn't make up his mind, the "Morel XVII", which stepped forward to stop the enemy to the death, instantly won the favor of Bai Gang's group of soldiers.
So Bai Gang did not hesitate to shoot at the pirates!
Anyway, with their strength, even if they really stand on the wrong side, they are not afraid!
Then, there was a scene of beating up the pirate ship.
After beating the largest pirate battleship that captured the "Cloud Pine" into a ghost ship and leaving only a shell full of holes, the two sister ships "Tempest" and "Black Thorn" took advantage of their absolute power advantage and began to play kite flying!
It was difficult for a steamer with an internal combustion engine or a sail to navigate through a storm, but fortunately the sea conditions were within the acceptable range of the two steel warships.
The Storm and the Black Thorn are as light and nimble as two hummingbirds shuttling among the flowers, but what attracts them is the spark of death.
The pirates' primitive ballistae couldn't shoot accurately at the violently shaking hull, and both the "Tempest" and the "Black Thorn" circled the pirate fleet three times, and there was not even a single crossbow bolt that landed within ten meters of the hull!
As for the few pirate magicians, it's even more unbearable, if it's a master-level white steel, be careful, God knows what weird tricks those guys can have.
But what level can the magicians who can be engulfed by pirates have, those few magicians whose level is not much higher than the skeleton mage are of no use except to perform fireworks to add some fighting atmosphere to everyone.
Unlike the Blackthorn's guns, the guns of the Storm and the Black Thorn can keep the barrel pointed at the target at all times in a violently shaking hull, especially at close range, and can hit the enemy ship accurately with every attack.
The two steel battleships circled the pirate fleet three times, and the pirate ships were all attacked to varying degrees, and the two most miserable ones had already begun to sink slowly!
If it weren't for the small number of guns on board, the caliber was only 76 mm, and the fire could not be burned in the torrential rain, the battle would have ended at this time. The Tempest and Black Thorn only need to fire a few shots at each pirate ship and watch the bonfire at sea.
Seeing that the surrounding friendly ships were crippled and sunk one by one, the remaining four pirate ships finally gave up their resistance in endless panic and took down their pirate flags.
In Anglia, it is not customary to fly a white flag to surrender, and they say that the way to surrender is to drop their flag and raise it in a large cloth bag.
At first, it was actually the money bag that was raised, expressing its willingness to pay the ransom of the defeat and demanding decent treatment from the victors, but because the money bag was too small and not obvious, it gradually became a large cloth bag.
Bai Gang glanced at the pirate ships and ordered: "I don't have time to take care of them now, stick them and use 730 to sweep off their masts, let's go rescue that hero ship." ”
The hero ship in Bai Gang's mouth is naturally the "Morel XVII" that is blocking the enemy to the death, and now several pirate ships around it are planning to evacuate quickly when they see that the situation is not good.
However, in front of the propeller-propelled steel battleship, those pirate ships naturally had no chance of escaping!
