In naval warfare, when the warring parties cannot reach an agreement, the entire battle process can be roughly divided into three stages.

The first stage, long-range bombardment, this stage requires both sides to be armed ships, each equipped with different degrees of artillery, everyone according to the face of each other first, can directly sink the other side of the best, if the hull is strong enough, or the luck is not good, both sides of the ship did not sink, then to enter the second stage.

In the second stage, the bloodiest melee combat, the two warring sides board each other's ships through hooks or pedals for close combat, the goal is to capture the opponent's ship before it is captured, and it is best to kill or defeat the opponent's captain and cause the opponent to surrender.

In the third stage, the end of the battle, the victory and defeat are almost clear, this is the handling of the vanquished, if the captains of both sides are decent gentlemen, then the prisoners will be released, and even the ship will be returned to them, only asking for all the valuable materials on the ship of the vanquished, the latter cannot refuse, and the defeated are not qualified to say no.

If one of the two sides of the battle is a pirate, then naturally another thing is to say that if you are defeated by a pirate, basically all the men are thrown into the sea, and the women are taken away with the boat.

There is also a special situation that both sides are pirates, then things are easy to do, the victor can choose to occupy the other party's ship and become the leader of the other party, this is the rule, in the concept of pirates, many things are extremely simple, the strong, have everything, the weak, can only hide in the corner and obediently accept exploitation!

Kailot's ship is an armed merchant ship, but he does not show it, but disguises himself as an unsuspecting ordinary merchant ship, and pirates generally do not shell this kind of ship, and most likely choose to jump into close combat, in order to ensure the integrity of the merchant ship and the cargo on board to the greatest extent.

"You, don't raise the pirate flag for the time being, let's get closer slowly, and wait until we reach a similar distance before raising the flag, their ship is good, if you want to run away and chase after it, it's really not easy. ”

As the captain of the Plante named after himself, Plante is an experienced pirate captain, business has not been very good recently, after the reputation of the pirate islands went out, many merchant ships deliberately avoided this place, just like Sparrow also persuaded Kailot not to come at the beginning, which made them usually want to rob merchant ships have to go to sea far away, sometimes they may go to sea for several days but return in vain, so today it is not easy to do a big ticket, two unsuspecting merchant ships, he does not plan to let go.

Closer, closer...... Plante could see the people on the other side of the ship without even using a telescope, and each ship was only a dozen people, full of cargo, which made him very happy, and he felt that today should be a happy night with a full load.

"Captain, something seems to be wrong, they don't seem to be flustered at all when they see us coming...... We have cannons on the side of our ship. ”

Most of the pirates were born poor and had little culture, but after so many years of working at sea, practice was true, and the business was still familiar, and it was a little strange that the two merchant ships did not react when they approached.

"Hmm...... What do you mean?"

Plante turned his head to look at the man next to him, he was caught at sea some time ago, and at that time he said that he was a pirate, he was defeated, and he wanted to join them, Plante saw that he was more skilled in some of the work on the ship than some old pirates, so he accepted it, but one bad thing is that this guy has always given himself advice lately.......

It's not that it's bad to give advice, many times his opinions are quite useful, but Plante always felt that something was wrong, as if his crew had been a little restless lately.

"I think let's stay out of the way, it's not suitable to do it now, seeing that they haven't turned their actions yet, no matter what, seeing us approaching, why should they have some reaction, right?"

In Plante's opinion, there was some inexplicable suggestion, and Atwood continued to persuade bitterly, and behind the two of them was a group of silent pirates, and I don't know when Atwood, a young man who had only been on the ship for two months, had achieved the second position on the ship.

People always have their own habits in some aspects, and Atwood has figured out the captain's temper in the past two months, and he has confidence in how to make him go according to his plan.

"I ...... Full speed ahead, little ones, get ready to jump!"

Subconsciously wanted to agree, Plante suddenly felt that something was wrong, he seemed to have listened to this guy's advice a little too much recently, and now it has become what he says he subconsciously agrees, as a captain, this is a very dangerous situation, the world of pirates is about prestige, strong and powerful people should be a word, his words should be the goal of the whole ship rather than the advice of this guy next to him, so Plante swallowed back the words.

"Yes, Captain Plante, we're ...... Huh?"

To Atwood's surprise, Plante actually rejected him, which was different from what he imagined, looking up and seeing the dangerous light in the other party's eyes, Atwood's heart was also a chill, because he was smooth sailing, he seemed to be a little big recently, the other party should be vigilant, looking at Plante's eyes, nine times out of ten he wanted to do it to himself, but it didn't matter, even if he was vigilant now, it was too late, he would fight if he wanted to, maybe this was a good opportunity once and for all.

Atwood took two steps back, turned his head sideways and tapped twice, and only then did the pirates behind him start to move, drawing their weapons, and the pirate ship began to accelerate closer to the two large ships in front.

500 meters, 300 meters, 100 meters......

Atwood stood on the side of the ship, a hundred meters away, his eyes were good, he could already see what the people on the other side of the boat were doing, he noticed that the other party still didn't move, just watching their actions, this was wrong, it was too strange.

"Captain Plante, stand back, the two ships ahead are not right, and the people above are not afraid of us at all. ”

If it was for their own plan before, this time Atwood really wanted to retreat, and the trap was a bit obvious.

"Stand back! The gold and silver treasures are right in front of you, why the hell will you let me retreat? Let me tell you, I am the captain of this ship, and what I say is the only order!"

Plante grabbed Atwood by the collar, he had a plan in his heart, he was going to kill this young man after this vote!
