Chapter 62: Silver-Class Battleship

This naval battle of few to many was later called the "Battle of the Lighthouse Outpost Volcanic Island".

In the afternoon of the same day, the sun was shining and the sky was cloudless, and the five Black Iron-class battleships of the Graybeard Pirates, lined up in a queue of arrows, met the six Coast Guard warships waiting to work in the east at full speed.

The "Williams" and "Roentgenium", which had been parallel, began to misalign, and the "Williams", known for its defense, bore the brunt of the attack, acting as an arrow, and rushed towards the space in the center of the six battleships.

On the pirate side, all the bow main guns were replaced with fire-based magic crystals, and the Williams was the first to reach the range.

A straight red light hit the Coast Guard battleship in the center.

Without binoculars, with just the naked eye, you can see that a large hole has been pierced in the bridge of the opposing warship.

This is the difference between the magic crystal cannon and the artillery, as long as you aim, there is almost no missing shot.

The six Coast Guard warships on the opposite side also roared, but the magic crystals that might be powered were only mid-level, with six main guns, and only two hits.

They also hit the heavily armored left and right sides of the ship.

"Wooka!"

Whether it was the Williams or the Roentgenium that followed, the pirates on deck all beat their chests and cheered.

It also gave some desperate pirates a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

The outer deck of the Williams cockpit had been lowered, and through the small transparent front window, Extraordinary also clapped his hands excitedly.

At this level of damage, the Williams' chances of breaking through are greatly increased.

In the second attack, another battleship of the Coast Guard was blasted out of a big hole, but it was above the waterline, so it was not a big deal.

But the blow to the military's heart is not small.

In the third round of shelling, the six battleships on the opposite side were obviously replaced with high-grade magic crystals, and the magic light pillars emitted were a little thicker.

After a few rounds of bombardment, the magic crystal cannon on the opposite side suddenly stopped for a round, and once again saw the magic crystal cannon flash with red light, and the expected pillars of light did not come, but one after another magic bullets exploded around the battleship.

"Heh, it seems that the magic crystal reserves on the other side are not enough!

The pirates who gave the order didn't talk much, and the steam engine was already running at high load at full speed, and if it was extremely fast, it was estimated that half of the steam unit would be scrapped after escaping.

But now it's a run for your life, and if you don't want to be caught by the navy and hung on the flagpole in the harbor, you have to do it to the extreme.

The cabin pierced by the magic crystal cannon is full of pirate corpses, and the originally neat deck is littered with black and red blood and stumps and severed arms that I don't know who they belong to.

Who said that steel giants don't burn, and melted metal can easily cause wooden structures in cabins.

Fortunately, if the steam battleship had not been hit in the steam engine room, there would have been no explosion.

Magic crystals are not dangerous, flammable and explosive.

At top speed, the "Williams" successfully passed the interception of six Coast Guard warships.

When the pirate battleship passed by the side of the Haiwei battleship, there was no magic crystal cannon to greet it, and it was easy to be injured by mistake at this time.

The pirates didn't have any scruples, there were enemies on both sides of the battleship, and the magic crystal cannons on the bow and stern of the ship didn't stop for a moment.

Finally, the two Seaguard battleships closest to the Williams in the center were directly cut two large holes below the waterline, and the hulls began to tilt.

The Röntgenium, which followed suit, found that the Williams had turned on its top speed, and did the same, and rushed out of the encirclement.

Before the pirates who were high-fived each other in celebration had time to celebrate, the handsome silver-haired young man shouted in front of the captain.

"The right rudder is full, don't stop at top speed!"

William Kidman didn't know what was happening, but with an extraordinary expression, he paused for only three seconds before letting the helmsman do as he was commanded.

The Black Iron Battleship Williams was like the bow of the ship was connected by a fixed iron cable, and several of the pirates on the left deck were almost thrown overboard.

Rounding a big bend, the Williams was like a thora-tailed shark, with its bow rising and falling, and quickly departing towards the southeast.

William Kidman, who holds the title of "Wisdom", seems to have a lot of prestige among Graybeard, and then the sailors at the stern report that the "Roentgen" also almost capsized, and followed "Williams" in a daze.

"Extraordinary, do you want to explain?" William Kidman, who had escaped, asked himself a question as he looked at Extraordinary's still serious eyes.

"There's a big guy in the water, if it's not a super-rank sea beast, then it can only be the silver-level battleship 'Saint Naze'!"

Extraordinary said lightly, his mind relaxed, because under his perception, the unknown danger that made him feel like a great enemy had lurked directly below the six Coast Guard warships.

If the Coast Guard is not unlucky, then the "big guys" who came can be imagined.

Always concerned about the extraordinary situation in the rear, he shook his head and sighed: "Commander Jones, I'm afraid that things won't come out!"

At this time, Jones's flagship was able to sail in front of the six Seaguard warships that were blocked.

Two of the battleships had already flooded their cabins and were out of the battlefield.

No matter how you look at the remaining four battleships, you can't stop the remaining three battleships of Graybeard Jones.

Jones, the graybeard who was thinking about how to humiliate the Navy Guard, hurt the ball in the next second.

The sharp ramming angles of the silver battleship "St. Naze", which suddenly emerged from under the surface of the sea, pierced directly through the side of the Jones flagship.

"The St. Nazer is not ten kilometers away, how is it possible to reach the battlefield in such a short time?"

No one could give Jones an answer, and if Extraordinary had been present at this time, he might have been able to guess a rough idea.

The Saint Naze must have two types of silver battleships, the "Water Splitting Technique" and the "Light Spirit Technique", which are equipped with magic arrays as standard.

Ten kilometers away to confuse the enemy's target, a small sailboat can do it.

"William Kidman, I order you to return to your home as quickly as possible and rescue Master Jones!"

On the Williams, the fierce first mate stared at William Kidman with red-eyed eyes and brandished a one-handed sword.

The Williams and Roentgen have already escaped the encirclement and have not yet been pursued by battleships.

The reason for this is that all the magic crystals collected on the volcanic island are all on top of Jones's flagship.

Rescuing Graybeard Jones can be tried, but if he wants to rescue the battleship that has been down, Williams feels that he does not have that much ability.

"Ding Ding"

There was a sound from the conch.

"My children, I am your regimental commander Elder Jones, and now issue the last order, all ships are free to break through the encirclement, and they are not allowed to return to the rescue!

Listening to the voice coming from the conch of the sound, I was already a little disgusted with the word "Graybeard", and now I can't help but be in awe of old Jones.

William Kidman called for the guards to take the roaring first mate out, then looked at the fading battlefield, not knowing what to think.

After this battle, the Graybeard Pirates were almost eliminated, and only two battered warships escaped.

For the rest, led by Graybeard Jones, two Seventh-Order Captains were arrested.

When the news reached Freeport, almost everyone in Santrite celebrated.
