"Boom!"

Fierce flames erupted into a ball of flowers at the exit of the massive iron pipe, and a cone-shaped cannonball shot out of the Nautilus's rear turret barrel at a speed invisible to the naked eye, flying towards the pirate ship that was approaching the harbor of Waterdeep as fast as it could.

There are many pirates in the Sea of Swords and the Bay of Swords, and although most of them are ragged civilians who are forced to go to sea, there are still elite warriors among them.

De Charlik on the island of Brinnro, Karan in the Racing Strait, and Kabolian in the Nerainsel Islands are among the best and are known as the three pirate kings.

Of course, it is not one of the three who came to commit today, but it is not a nameless person, Black Flag Pirate Creek, who calls himself the pirate king of Sword Bay, naturally cannot compare his strength with the three famous pirate kings for a long time, but he also has five pirate ships.

This time, news came from his tip from Waterdeep that the navy of Waterdeep was escorting merchant ships to Lunaris Island, and the harbor defenses were empty, so he poured out of his nest with the intention of plundering it.

Unfortunately, Crick arrived at a bad time, the Moonrat Steel Battleship Nautilus had just docked at the docks, and the envoys and merchants began to negotiate with Waterdeep—and in order to give their own merchants and envoys more weight, they desperately needed a chance to show their strength.

The imposing pirate ship is a perfect target.

............

"Row hard!"

"The boss said that only half of the property grabbed after going ashore needs to be handed over, and the other half belongs to the robber!"

"The woman you snatched can also be kept as a private product, you bastards, now you are satisfied!"

In the cabin, Sack the One-Eyed Dragon rudely stirs up the passion of the pirates - most of the low-level pirates are poor, vagabond, criminal, uneducated, and believe in drinking wine and eating meat in large bowls, so Zac's words are effective.

Although there was no answer, the speed at which the pirates tossed the oars was clearly a notch higher - this pirate ship was the standard model of the sea clipper of Pheron's time, in addition to the wide canvas sails on three sides, there were dozens of circular oars under the sides of the ship, and when there was no sea breeze and the speed was accelerating, it could extend the thick manpower oars to provide the pirate ship with capabilities.

At this moment, under the efforts of the pirates to pluck the oars, the entire pirate ship shook its hull, and there was a feeling of pushing back.

"Hey, hey, the boss said that the first pirate ship to dock doesn't get a commission!"

The saliva in his mouth was overflowing, and the one-eyed dragon Sack secretly snickered in his heart, he didn't tell the truth to the pirates on his ship, and casually reduced it by half, but this half alone was enough to make the pirates desperate, after all, they only had a ten percent commission before, and it was strictly forbidden to rob women.

And this time, Crick wants to make a big news, as long as he can successfully loot Waterdeep, then his reputation among pirates will immediately rise to a level, even if it is still not comparable to the three major pirate kings, but he can also be called a quasi-pirate king.

When the time comes, a large number of excellent pirates will come to take refuge, and Crick's ambition to become a true pirate king will have the hope of success.

Of course, all this is built on success - Creek poured out of the nest, a whole five well-armed pirate ships, nearly a thousand fierce pirates, and a force to be reckoned with everywhere.

It's a pity that they picked the wrong time.

"Woo——!"

"Boom ——!"

The screech of the air being cut through the air sounded in mid-air, and he sprang up to the deck in three or two steps, and before he could see what the object was making the sound, the loud bang fell on the deck of the pirate ship.

Immediately, the thick oak deck twisted and cracked, and a large opening appeared in which several people hugged each other—even if a mage bombarded it with the most destructive fireball technique among the low-level spells, it would not have caused such huge damage.

And that's not the end of it.

"Ship...... Captain, the bottom of the ship has been pierced!"

"What?"

"This is a top-of-the-line three-masted clipper made of oak!"

Sark's body shook and his mind was a little dizzy - just one attack, his own pirate ship suffered a fatal blow, and if it came a few more times, it wouldn't sink on the spot?

Zac immediately threw away the dream that was still swirling in his mind, and ran into the cabin to direct the pirates to rush to repair it - in addition to the three masts with sails, the pirate ship's bilge was also divided into three sections, and the damage to one section did not lead to sinking, but only lost the ability to move forward, and needed urgent repairs.

"Good, hit one. ”

"The little ones keep loading!"

The lookout on the lookout passed the word of the hit, and Terry smiled grimly and asked his men to continue to reload - just now it was just a test firing test Zhu Yuan, and he didn't have much hope, but he didn't expect it to hit with one shot.

Under the docking of the excitation shells, Terry has more confidence - and the replacement of the ammunition is no longer solid, but incendiary!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The muzzle roared again, and three shells were fired in succession for fifteen seconds - this was already the fastest firing speed of the Nautilus's naval gun, and it would not be able to keep up with the rapid reloading.

The results were also remarkable - in addition to the last largest five-masted ship, which was still in range, the other three three-masted clippers were on fire, and soon turned into three bonfires on the ocean.

"What's going on?"

"Not even a legendary mage can have such a long range!"

Watching one of them not move, three of them burning, and his pirates throwing them into the sea like dumplings, his heart was bleeding madly - this was all his belongings, but in just one minute, he lost most of it.

But Crick didn't dare to put out fires or save people now—Waterdeep seemed to have a secret weapon that could destroy enemies out of range of all the weapons available, and he himself had become an experiment with this new weapon.

"Retreat!"

"Boss?!"

"I said retreat!"

Some of his men looked at Creek in surprise, but they were glared back by Crick's blood-red eyes, and immediately the sails that had been erected fell, and dozens of oars stretched out from the bottom compartment, causing Creek's flagship to begin to turn around.

Looking at the pirate flagship fleeing in a hurry, Terry Talon regretfully let go of the aiming front paws - the flagship was out of maximum range, and even he, the shooting champion, couldn't hit it.

Destroy three ships and make one incapacitated - the originally desperate city defense officer immediately passed on the news to the higher-ups, and this time the higher-ups reacted immediately and did not wait for another half a day.

The Wise Moonlight Rat has already shown its strength well, and the next step is to look at the envoys and merchants.

If they still don't grasp the opportunity in such a great form, the Wise Moonlight Mouse may have to develop for a few more years—Reverend Rahne thought as his eyes gleamed in gold as he sparkled on the bridge of the Nautilus.
