Verse 29: The Root of All Wars
After a round of shelling, the Bird was unscathed.
The dragonman boy's face darkened, and he ordered again. The sailors steered the steer, the lasso of the lasso, and the Justice turned around, sailing in a zigzag, this time facing the Bird with the left side of the ship.
"Port artillery ready. The roar of the dragon boy was clearly conveyed.
The pirates on the artillery deck rushed from the right side of the ship to the left.
Bud and eleven other pirates struggled to pull the cannon as quickly as possible, while the other pirates struggled to push the cannon out.
The gun deck was sweltering, filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder. It's just that after such a while, Bai Ya is already sweating.
Nervous, he pricked up his ears and listened to the dragonman boy's command to fire.
However, the expected command to open fire was never heard.
"Look, the enemy has surrendered!" a pirate suddenly spoke, reminding him in a loud voice.
Many people went to the muzzle of the gun to look at it, and then cheered.
"Ulla!"
"We won!!"
"On the other side is a group of people, ahahaha. ”
Most of the pirates gathered around the guns dispersed, and they began to dance. Bai Ya saw the gap and squeezed over to look.
Sure enough, I saw the Little Bird with a white flag, its speed gradually reduced to zero, and it was moored on the sea, looking pitiful to be slaughtered.
"Won?"
Bai Ya was stunned for a moment, and after a few breaths, he accepted this reality, his brows were overjoyed, and his heart was completely relaxed.
It was only when he relaxed that he felt the pain in his body.
The first is the palm.
His palm grabbed the stiff iron rope, because he had tried his best before, and now it hurt hotly.
And his arm was very sore.
Finally, he felt the crowding of this artillery deck, and he wanted to run to the first deck to blow the sea breeze.
"Put away the mainsail and slow down!" Captain Dragonman ordered.
Mane Ge added: "Don't be careless, prevent the enemy from camouflaging!"
Bai Ya's heart suddenly tightened, and when the other pirates heard this, they stopped cheering and returned to their posts again.
The Justice cautiously approached the Birdie, and it was not until the two sides were tightly linked together by hook ropes and bridges that the Draconian Boy relaxed.
He continued to sit aboard the Justice, while Mango led a group of more elite pirates aboard the Bird.
The captain of the Little Bird took the lead and knelt on the ground, surrendering very sincerely.
"Second Silver Fighter?" he couldn't help but be even more glad at his decision as he felt the silver breath of Mane.
The Bird is a lot shorter than the Justice.
The dragon boy stood on the bow of the ship, overlooking the Little Bird being received by him, and felt bored for a while.
He also wanted to use the Little Bird to hone his artillery ability, but after a round of shelling, the other side was instigated.
The pirates of the Little Bird were rounded up, tied up one by one, and knelt on the deck.
After making sure that nothing was missed, the dragon boy Shi Shiran set off, and in the cheers of his own side and the awe-inspiring eyes of the enemy, he leisurely stepped onto the first deck of the Little Bird. Rape Chinese
"Which bastard just fired at me?" the dragon boy asked in a deliberately rude tone.
"It's me, my lord. The captain of the Little Bird suddenly became nervous, and gritted his teeth in reply.
"Good, sign this, from today onwards, you will be my main gunner. The dragon boy walked up to Captain Bird and tossed down a contract scroll.
Seeing the scroll rolling down on the deck, the captain of the Little Bird hurriedly picked it up and looked at it.
He was at first hard-headed, but after browsing it, he was surprised.
The conditions on the reels were much more lenient than he had imagined.
"This is the result of your knowledge of the times and your voluntary surrender. The dragon boy explained duly.
"Lord Xie!" Captain Bird hurriedly kowtowed, then instilled vindictive spirit and signed his name with his own blood.
The contract was immediately formed.
I have to say that this kind of magic contract is convenient.
The dragon boy recruited all these pirates.
Of course, these people were carefully disassembled and reorganized.
The Birdie is led by Mango. The dragon man boy accepted the half-orc as the captain in person. The power of the Righteous Pirates has begun to expand in the first step!
"Do your job, one day, you may also become my cadres!" the dragon boy shouted, causing the pirates' eyes to glow.
Little Bird was barely damaged, thanks to the decision of the original captain of the Little Bird to surrender quickly.
The original captain's name was long and awkward, so everyone called him by the nickname Little Bird.
As a Black Iron Rank Fighter, his cultivation belongs to the bottom of the captain's position. Among the ships that can travel back and forth to the Seven Seas, it is difficult for the Bronze-level captain to suppress the scene.
Night.
The sea breeze blew into the windows.
The captain's cabin was brightly lit.
Dinner had already been served, and the dragon boy sat at his desk, blowing the wind while flipping through the nautical diary of the Justice.
In today's records, this little battle is recorded.
The dragon boy closed his nautical diary, leaned back in the leather seat, and began to close his eyes and meditate, summing up the experience of this battle.
"There are a lot of differences between naval and land battles. ”
"First of all, it's very important to have the upper hand. We do this very well. With an upwind outlet, our shells can hit farther than when there is no wind and a headwind. This is the favorable topography. It's like occupying a high mountain in a land battle and shooting from a high vantage point. Fighting against the wind is like attacking from the back, and it is very disadvantageous. ”
"Secondly, the quality of equipment greatly affects the outcome of the battle. Our side was able to win a quick victory and a big victory, because the grade, tonnage, gun position, and artillery grade of the Justice all crushed the Little Bird. The eagle shot by the bird is the most threatening blow. Because it's a shell of the black iron class. ”
Of course, these shells also became trophies for the dragon boy as the bird surrendered on his own initiative.
"In the end, the factor that most affects the outcome of the battle is the people! The eagle missiles fired by the enemy are operated by the birds themselves. I was the one who intercepted the shells. If I can't intercept it and damage the mainmast, I'll probably let the Bird escape. ”
The Justice is a Black Iron-class magical energy ship, but it is large and can be easily damaged.
Comparatively speaking, a Black Iron level fighter is more flexible, and the transition between attack and defense is very convenient. Take Bird, for example, who is a Black Iron Fighter. If the young man's side lacked a black iron level fighter, and only had a black iron level magic energy ship, it was likely that the bird would swim across the sea and lead a group of people to kill it. Even if it weren't for the broadside, the bird's shot could threaten the Justice.
The boy couldn't help but think back to the battle with Fleshzo.
A gold-level powerhouse, the power of one person to suppress the battle, no matter how many previous pirate ships were destroyed in the Big Chin and the Snake Girl. The victory of Fleshzo against Boy, Mane, and Ash determines the outcome of the battle.
As a result, the dragon man boy had an insight in his heart: "Whether it is a land war or a naval battle, the root of all wars is a competition between people." ”
