Chapter 179: Pursuit and Dry Ice
Pirates and navies are not the same.
The navy kills the enemy, it can be said that it is to protect the family and defend the country, which is a righteous purpose, and they do not kill the enemy to enjoy the pleasure of killing.
Pirates kill people, it can be said that they are for survival, this is a realistic purpose, however, many pirates extend this purpose and turn it into killing for the sake of killing, such people are easy to indulge in killing, which is very unfavorable for cultivation, at least when they enter the bottleneck period, if they are addicted to killing, then it is easy to let their cultivation goals deviate.
Of course, the vast majority of such limitations exist in human beings, and they only exist in those professions who need a pure state of mind to cope with cultivation.
Swordsman is the profession that most needs to maintain a normal state of mind.
Therefore, although there are many swordsmen in this world, there are not so many strong among them, and here's why!
Compared to humans, the orcs and fish-people are much more pure, they are warlike and unabashed, and although killing will affect them somewhat, it will not affect future breakthroughs like humans.
Will and Cervantes both knew that Sogers and Fiana had a feud, and this was an inexorable blood feud, and they also knew that Sogers didn't know who killed his mother and eldest sister, but they knew that in Sogers's heart, everyone who was Fiana deserved to die!
For pirates, killing people is commonplace, but aimless raiding and revenge focused on one strength are two different things, there are seven empires in this world, and if it is just random raiding, then it will generally only be targeted by the navy and pirate hunters who patrol the sea.
But if the target is only one empire......
In order to hold on to the majesty of an empire, long-term revenge may lead to counter-killings from Fiana powerhouses!
And these strong men are definitely not opponents that the current Dragon Tooth Pirate Group can handle!
"Hopefully he can figure it out for himself. Cervantes said this, Will could only sigh, once he felt that Sorges had a kind of softness that a pirate should not have, but now Sorgers slowly became decisive, he was worried that too much killing would affect his heart.
"Hmm, what are you talking about?"
Sojess's voice suddenly sounded in the hallway, startling the two of them. "Ah, uh...... It's nothing, just discussing how to fight if we encounter the navy, this voyage will take a long time, and unplanned brute force will not be good for us. Will seemed a little unnatural at first, but quickly organized his language and tactfully advised him not to be too obsessed with the battle against the Fiana navy.
"I know this, don't worry, I know it. Patting Will on the shoulder, Sorjes walked to the command module, as if he didn't know what Will meant by this, and the two people who secretly cared about him could only sigh bitterly in their hearts, and at the same time prayed that the short-sighted Fiana Navy would not come to look for death on this voyage......
Pity...... Sometimes people don't go for trouble, but trouble comes uninvited......
"Captain Will, Fiana's warship has been spotted ahead, should we?"
At the end of the first day of dinner, Will and Cervantes both went to the Snow Fox, unlike before, this time sailing at the forefront of the fleet was the Snow Fox piloted by Will, they were also the first to discover the movement of the navy, and the boatswain was also Will's cronies, so he naturally knew what he was worried about, so he did not inform the rest of the ships after discovering the navy.
"Forget it, the one who should come will always come, what is the number of the other party?" Will sighed, this is only the second day of going to sea, and he has not yet left the Holy Beast Sea and actually encountered the Fiana Navy again, it is no wonder that Sojess's murderous aura has been so strong recently, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a deliberate provocation.
"There are only two of them, and they don't seem to have spotted us. The boatswain's tone was light-hearted, a navy of this size was no longer enough to be a match for the Dragon's Tooth Pirates.
"In that case......" Will said to Cervantes, who was also in the command cabin, "Shuais, you inform Jack that we will take care of these two ships, and don't let him do it." "Okay. Cervantes nodded, and then stopped Sorges from doing it himself, citing his injuries as not healing.
"Please, it's just two ships, they can be sunk with just shelling, why should I go to the broadside!"
"That's not necessarily, you have a criminal record!"
"Uh......"
In the command module of the Xianglong, Sojes was stared at tightly by Genevia with an embarrassed expression, she didn't know what kind of impact the killing would have on Sojes's cultivation, all she cared about was his wounds.
Smiling awkwardly, Sojes stretched out his right hand and hugged Genevia into his lap and sat down, with a wry smile on his face: "Wei Ya, if I can, I don't want to play broadside battles at every turn, you know, there is no oil and water to rob the navy, although the cannonballs are not expensive, but they also have to spend money, don......'t we?"
This is true, pirates are not as good as the navy, the navy has the country's economic system as a support, as well as a perfect production system, the navy of each country is actually growing, but there is a difference in speed, but pirates are different, most pirates are guarding a fleet of ships all year round at sea to plunder, in addition to no source of income, for the navy, unless it is a magic ship with war damage, Officers above the rank of colonel are killed, otherwise they do not need to be included in the battle damage data, but for pirates, even the sinking of an ordinary ship will be a big loss.
It is precisely for these reasons that pirates prefer to fight broadside battles, and even those pirate groups with very strong artillery will choose this almost zero-cost combat method after encountering an opponent who can be completely crushed.
"Let's go, go out and have a look, the Fiana battleships that have the courage to cross the border are not slow, and I am afraid that the Snow Fox will not be able to catch up with them. ”
Standing up, Sojes walked out of the command cabin first, Genevia thought for a while, turned back to a few people in the cabin and instructed: "Xianglong maintains the original speed, and after entering the firing range, it will carry out artillery fire on the target ship." ”
"Okay, Captain!"
Sojes, who had just walked to the door, heard such a conversation, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, although he was very helpless, but he also felt a trace of warmth in his heart, Genevia is indeed getting wider and wider, but he is not ignorant of good and bad, the more he is lenient, the more she cares about herself, not to mention that she is really not selfish in doing this, why should she argue with her because of this little thing?
As he spoke, the fleet of the Snow Fox and the Dragon's Tooth opened up the distance between the two positions, and at this time, the other party obviously also discovered the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Regiment, unlike the battleship that the Xianglong encountered alone before, the two ships turned around very wisely, and before escaping, it seemed that they had thrown something into the sea, and after the two ships left, a large white fog rose from the position they were in before, and this phenomenon also surprised Will and Cervantes, and quickly ordered to reduce the speed of the ship.
There was already a lot of delay when the two warships turned around, and by the time they raised their speed, the distance between the Snow Fox and them was less than 500 meters, but at this time, the Snow Fox entered the fog again.
"! What the hell is this! How did you make such a fog!" Will couldn't see the scene behind the fog with a telescope in his hand, and it wasn't so pleasant to see that his prey was about to arrive and he broke his teeth.
"Will, isn't it cool after entering the fog?" said Sojess's voice from the Messenger Wrist Chakra.
"yes! how do you know?" asked Will with a look of surprise.
"This fog is not harmful to the human body, but don't chase it, there is not much oil and water on the left and right, so you can't chase it so closely!"
"If you don't chase it, you won't chase it, but what the hell is this thing? Damn, the sailors on the Snow Fox are sneezing right now, and I, I, and I...... Ahh
Will's voice trembled a little, and he sneezed before he finished speaking, and Cervantes next to him was also a little unnatural, and slipped back to the command cabin first, anyway, the regimental commander ordered to abandon the pursuit, and the stupid fork had been clubbing outside the deck......
"I don't know what Fiana calls them, but I'd rather call them ...... Dry ice!"
