"Poof!" A thick cannon pierced through one of the pirates and nailed him to the main mast of the pirate ship, but the mast could not withstand the tremendous force of the cannon, and let out a crack that made the pirates' hearts beat before falling with a bang.

"Well done, elf boys, sure enough, you guys with pointy ears are good at archery." General Quentin brandished his sharp scimitar behind Hu Bin, and was suspected of slashing him on the spot if Hu Bin couldn't shoot accurately.

"Well, I was going to shoot the boat next to it." Hu Bin wanted to tell Quentin this, but when he saw the general's appearance, he closed his mouth.

"Goddess bless, fortunately I have a firm faith!" Although Hu Bin's eagle eye skill has a bonus to archery, his first arrow, who has never fired a crossbow, actually hit it crookedly and did not miss.

The loader hurriedly lifted a cannon bolt up, and loaded it on the ballista with Hu Bin, and then the two began to frantically wind it with the joystick, and in order to speed up the winding speed, Hu Bin even turned on the power bonus of light energy.

"Launch, give me a hard punch on that pirate ship, don't let them get close to the warship on the right." When General Quentin saw that the ballista had finished reloading, he pointed at the pirate ship in the distance that was attacking from the right side of the fleet and yelled, and even kicked on the ballista's territory impatiently, raising the turning speed of the ballista a notch.

The pirate ship in front of it had its mast broken and had been shot to the ground by the fire of other warships, but it was still under the manipulation of the pirates and crashed into the fleet. Hu Bin put the pirate ship into the aiming hole, adjusted the error with the feeling of the previous cannon and fired a second crossbow bolt, although it did not hit the waterline below the side of the ship that Hu Bin originally wanted to hit, but still opened a large hole in the side chord of the pirate ship.

Time goes back to ten minutes ago.

"Buck, let the little ones stay alive, I'm going to torture these navies." A burly pirate with black messy hair and delicate leather armor said to his men.

"Yes, Captain!." The sailor, Buck, instructed the standard-bearer to pass the captain's orders to the pirates on several other ships, and he had been a pirate for five years. He recently succeeded his deceased predecessor as the first mate on the large pirate ship.

"Captain, are we really going to attack the capital of Gondor?" Barker's voice rang out from the side.

"Yes, we are going to attack the defensive line of the southern bay of Gondor from the sea." The captain casually answered the question of the first mate, he liked this first mate very much, although his brain was not very fast, but he was more loyal.

"But now that Gondor is gone, where are we going to rob?" Buck struggled for a long time before he cautiously asked the question.

The captain turned his head to stare at Buck's glasses, and every time he did, Buck consciously closed his mouth. But this time Buck didn't look away, but looked at him.

"I don't know, but if we don't do what His Majesty Sauron asks, there will be no more places for pirates in the south." The captain turned his back and looked in the direction of the Pirate City, leaving his back to Buck. A month ago, Sauron's emissaries came to the Pirate City and asked the pirates to cooperate with the orc army in their attack on the White City. He also remembered the revered Pirate King bowing in humiliation under the pressure of the Ringwraith, and placing a bloody handprint on the contract.

"Captain. Look over there. Buck exclaimed, pointing to the rattling arrows rising from behind the pirate fleet.

"Damn, we're in ambush, we've got our sails up and ready for battle!" The captain roared.

Finding that the back route was cut off, the pirate fleet left part of the ships to continue attacking the decoy fleet. Other ships made a beeline for General Quentin's flagship.

The flagship's squadron was the least numerous of warships, as many of the ships that should have been incorporated here were sunk by storms, and in order not to disrupt the formation of the squadron that had been drilled before, General Quentin decided not to mobilize warships from other squadrons to supplement the area. He also temporarily formulated a tactic to lure the main pirate force and sandwich it, but this tactic was a great test of the performance of the flagship's fleet, otherwise it would not be successful. Instead, it is easy to be swallowed by the pirate ship with superior forces.

In order to reduce the range of the pirates, the flagship squadron, which was inferior in the number of ships, advanced at full speed against the main force of the pirates, and did not slow down until it was almost within the range of the ballistas, preparing to use the range advantage to give the pirates a round of strikes. The Ambar pirates, who had been entangled with the Gondor Navy for many years, naturally knew the power of the ballista, and many clippers were separated from the two wings to attack and attract firepower for the other main ships.

Although the naval detachment's concentrated fire attack achieved a lot of results on these clippers, the long reloading time has always been a hard wound for the ballistas, and Hu Bin had just fired two cannon bolts at the bow of the ship, and the pirates' clippers had already approached.

"Rocket ready, put!" The lieutenant's voice came from the helmsman, and then the arrows that rose into the air covered the area where the pirate ship was, slowing down visibly as the sails were set on fire.

Not to be outdone, some of the warships had already come within range of these clippers, and the small crossbows on board had begun to fire back at Gondor's navy, and some of the pirate ships simply rammed into the warships.

It would take about seventeen minutes for the reinforcements to come over and enter the firing range, and Hu Bin's flagship was tasked with leading the other warships to delay the seventeen minutes, but as the battle progressed, Hu Bin didn't think they could easily hold out until the reinforcements arrived.

Several warships at the head of the fleet had been targeted by pirates, who leaned their ships against the sides of the warships, grabbed the cables and jumped onto the deck of the warships with shouts, and fought the navy above. The situation of the other warships was not good, and the enemy's main ships were already quite close to the position of the detachment, and within three minutes they would make contact with them. The brutal overboard battles have thrown the tide of battle into chaos, and Admiral Quentin has completely lost the ability to command the fleet, and can only rely on the captains of the various warships to improvise.

A pirate clipper that had survived the trap of the warship in front of it crashed into Hu Bin's flagship, and the violent shaking caused Hu Bin's inevitable cannon shot to miss again. Just as Hu Bin looked up and was about to take a look, a hook was hung on the baffle in front of him.

The loader next to him reacted quickly and grabbed his weapon and slashed the rope behind the grapple, but more ropes were thrown from the pirate ship.

"Copy the guy, cut the fuck!" One of the pirates screamed and was about to swing over the bow of the ship to jump onto the warship, before an arrow was shot through the throat. plunged headlong into the sea.

Hu Bin grabbed the crossbow that shot in the air and threw it the head of a pirate who landed on the deck, the wreckage of the crossbow was deeply embedded in the pirate's head, and Hu Bin rubbed the brains on the pirate's water and picked up the loader who had just been pounced on by the pirate.

"Hahaha, come on, you bastards who don't have mothers and fathers, try the power of Uncle Ben." General Quentin grabbed a pirate who appeared to have passed out, and his scimitar was already in the chest of a pirate. Hu Bin couldn't help but shed a cold sweat when he saw Quentin's childlike fighting style. It turned out that the scimitar on the waist of the strong old man was purely an ornament.

The seamen who can serve on the flagship must be the elite of the navy, and the navy, which already has a numerical advantage, quickly wiped out the pirates on the warship, and after cutting all the ropes hanging on the warship, Hu Bin gave the hull of the pirate ship near the waterline with a crossbow with a ballista, and then watched the pirates hiding in the cabin in vain to block the hole that was broken by the cannons, and finally sank to the bottom of the sea in despair.

"Adjutant, count the casualties, helmsman, give me a direct full speed forward." General Quentin threw the hapless bastard in his hand who had long since died from the deck. He turned around and yelled. Lynn and Tardon were organizing for the others to carry the wounded into the cabin, where they could be properly treated in Lorraine.

"Enemy ships were found in the direction of eleven o'clock, three in number, and very fast." The battle had just ended less than half a minute. The sailors on the watchtower shouted.

"Good time, Reed, give them a little color first." Quentin saw three large pirate ships break through the defense line of the outer warships and attack the flagship, and shouted loudly to Hu Bin at the bow.

"Don't worry!" Hu Bin replied casually with his eyes on the aiming hole. Then there was a whistling sound, and a cannon shot out. As the distance between him and the enemy decreased, Hu Bin's hit rate increased significantly. Instead of shooting at the pirate ship, the shot grazed the side of the ship and shattered a small crossbow on a pirate ship, which was the most threatening thing to the numberer.

"Pay attention to evasion, they're going to release arrows!" Hu Bin hurriedly shouted after seeing the pirates' reaction with his eagle eye, and then raised his ballista high, trying to block the arrows thrown by the enemy with the front baffle.

A dense rain of arrows covered the bow of the flagship, and the flames attached to the arrows quickly ignited the nearby decks, and one pirate ship rushed straight to the front to try to engage the seamen while they dodged the arrows, while the other two pirate ships tried to circle the other side of the flagship, while constantly suppressing the navy on the flagship.

"Damn, that's the Dragon, all hidden!" Quentin's solemn voice rang out.

"The Dragon?" Hu Bin was a little puzzled by what General Quentin meant, and he looked up at the large black pirate ship that was heading towards here, and found a smiling pirate who had lowered a baffle on the bow of the ship, and behind the baffle was a slender pipe.

Hu Bin finally knew why the pirate ship was called the Evil Dragon, and a beam of fire oil spewed out of the slender pipe, and immediately burned into a piece after encountering the sparks on the deck, plunging the entire bow into raging flames.

"Follow me," Hu Bin turned his head to remind ......the loader to follow him, but found that the sailor had been killed by an arrow at some point.

"Damn, damn, damn!" Hu Bin pulled out a hidden wooden bolt from under the ballista, which the loader had told him that once the bolt was removed, the ballista would not be able to wind it with the help of a rocker.

Hu Bin activated the hand of flame to wrap himself and isolate the flames outside, and then quickly retreated in the direction of the middle of the ship, and the fire oil spout on the pirate ship was a fireball halfway. The fireball technique detonated the fire oil on the opposing ship, and Hu Bin could even hear the screams of the pirates on the opposite side being ignited and the cries for firefighting.

"Prepare to abandon the ship, and kill the Dragon with me." General Quentin saw the chaos on the opposing ship, and decisively gave the order to abandon the ship, preparing to take the Dragon in a desperate gamble.

"General, there are quite a few wounded in the cabin." The adjutant said hurriedly.

"I'll just assume they're dead, and now you guys who are still alive will give me TMD to take that ship!" Quentin roared, ordering the group to hold on to the rope and pull it up.

"Oh no, Lorraine is still in the cabin." Hu Bin was about to enter the cabin, but found that Lin and Ta Dun had just run out of the cabin with Lorraine. The tower shield almost took an arrow as he walked up to the deck.

When the Dragon discovered Quentin's attempt, she immediately organized the pirates to shoot at the sailors who were pulling the ropes, and many of them were knocked down by the arrows, but then others took the ropes and continued to pull them up.

Eventually, the sides of the two ships collided violently, and the navy and pirates leaped toward each other's ships. Hu Bin grabbed a cable with Lorraine on his back, drew his dagger and cut it off, then swung lightly towards the pirate ship, landing smoothly on the deck of the Dragon, while Tadun followed him and tried to repeat the action, but he was first unlucky enough to be hit by a pirate in mid-air. Then he tripped over the guardrail on the side of the ship, and finally fell face down on the deck with a spiral. Lynn landed lightly next to him, intentionally or unintentionally stepping on the back of his hand.

"Whew!" Tadun let out a painful snort and quickly got to his feet, then saw Lynn strangulating one of the pirates and wiping his throat cleanly. The three of them quickly formed a defensive formation after reaching the other deck, protecting the fragile priest Lorraine tightly behind them.

Hu Bin's holy sword in his right hand swung sharply, and the sword qi forced the pirates who rushed up to resist in a hurry, and then with a wave of his left hand, the large flame hand slapped down from mid-air, igniting the pirates' clothes. Prompting the guys to jump into the sea in a panic. Although Lin was at odds with Ta Dun, she still matched with him to fend off the enemy on the other side.

After Hu Bin dealt with a wave of pirates, he looked at the situation in the field and found that the navy, which should be inferior in numbers, was actually more than the pirates.

The pirates who jumped onto the warship shouted to find a target to fight, only to find that the navy, which was supposed to have half of the people on board, rushed onto their own pirate ship one by one. At this time, the warship was actually sinking rapidly.

"The wounded soldiers scuttled through the bottom of the ship!" After Ta Dun dealt with the enemy in front of him, he turned his head and looked at the sinking warship and said with some sadness.

"May they sleep peacefully at the bottom of the sea!" Lynn, who is not very talkative, also made her own voice.

"May the Light bless them." Lorraine repelled the pirate with a bullet of holy light, and Hu Bin quickly plunged a throwing knife into his chest.

Reinforcements from afar had already attacked the pirates on the periphery early on, and they successfully completed the outflanking of the main pirate force. This left the pirates in a passive position, but due to the entanglement of the detachment and some of the pirate ships, the reinforcements had to get closer to the battlefield as quickly as possible to improve the accuracy of the ballistas. Avoid accidentally injuring allies.

"Look, master, they want to support here." Lorraine, who had three men to protect him, was able to observe the situation on the battlefield calmly, and he noticed that the two pirate ships from before him were approaching here, apparently trying to support the Dragon.

"Anyway, can this thing still work?" Ta Dun knocked on the object behind him, and everyone realized that the thing next to them was actually the thin pipe that sprayed fire oil before.

"Looks like we've found a new toy!" Hu Bin said with a wicked smile.

……

The sailors of the navy, who had killed all the pirates on the Dragon, cheered loudly, and General Quentin was helped by the lieutenant to the side of the ship, and raised a middle finger at the pirate who fled on the opposite side, and he was stabbed by the captain of the Dragon several times, and he no longer had the strength to shout loudly.

Hu Bin shook the thin pipe in his hand with some pity, and found that although the nozzle could still make a "stabbing" sound, there was no more oil sprayed out of it, and it seemed that the stored oil had been used up.

The lieutenant led the two dozen or so remaining pirates to escape from the melee zone in the Dragon, and retreated to the rear under the escort of several warships.

"Garon, the rest of the command is up to you!" Hu Bin heard the adjutant's name for the first time, and Captain Quentin was helplessly carried into the cabin to recuperate after saying this.

In fact, the naval fleet no longer needed any command, they had already surrounded the main force of the pirate fleet, although many of the pirates were still trapped and trying to seize the navy's warships to break through, but they were soon fired into a sieve by the ballistas of other warships, and the two escaped pirate ships were sunk soon after.

Seeing that the situation had been decided, Hu Bin opened the space panel, and it really indicated that his contribution had increased again, but ......

"How much has your contribution increased?" Hu Bin asked Ta Dun with a somewhat gloomy face.

"0.1%, what's wrong?" Ta Dun said happily that he had completed one-tenth of the main quest at once, which made him very happy.

"Could it be the use of foreign objects?" Hu Bin looked at the flamethrower next to him and fell into thought, such a contribution reward obviously did not match the danger level of this mission.

"No, the encounter with the flamethrower was definitely an accident, and the space must have compensated for the reward elsewhere." Hu Bin thought of this, looked around to find the Garon adjutant, but after talking with the adjutant, Hu Bin fell into confusion again, although the adjutant thanked Hu Bin and the others, but there was no substantial reward.
