Chapter 127: The Battle of Treasure Island

They didn't keep Lear waiting long, and as soon as their ships approached the waters off Treasure Island, a fleet sailed out from behind the island to meet them.

"Jeremy, what are you doing here? I don't remember inviting you. ”

Seemingly recognizing Jeremy's flag, Annabelle shouted at him from a distance of thousands of meters, and although her voice was full of disdain and disdain wrapped in magic, she did not attack immediately.

"She's a witch?"

Lear looked curiously at Jeremy, who hadn't told him before.

"Yes, my lord, this is my negligence, I forgot such an important matter because I was so obsessed with the study of artillery, I beg your pardon. ”

Jeremy explained a little nervously, and in fact he was telling the truth.

Lear nodded but was noncommittal, much to Jeremy's awkwardness.

"Beautiful Miss Annabelle, I am Lear, Lord of Spartacus, and Jeremy has brought me to extend my best regards to you, and I hope to have a good friendship with you. ”

His voice was also wrapped in magic and reached Annabelle's ears, and when she heard this voice, Annabelle's expression was visibly shocked, and she felt a deeper magic than herself.

Enchanter!

"Jeremy, you bastard! How dare you betray Peterley, you'll be burned to death!"

At this time, even if Anna is stupid, she should know that she has been sold, this city lord who has never heard of her is a powerful magician, and Jeremy has become the other party's lackey.

But it doesn't matter, she, Annabelle, is not easy to mess with, those outsiders think that she can get to where she is today is all in Peterley's bed, she never explains this, only those who are familiar with her will understand how terrifying her strength is.

She never minded being looked down upon, and even deliberately created this situation in order to find more opportunities to win from her enemies' carelessness, even at the cost of her reputation.

But then again, what pirate has a good reputation?

The fiery temper inherited from her father left Anna with only one thought left after realizing that she had been betrayed, and that was to throw them all into the sea to feed the fish, even if the other party was a fleet of ten ships.

At sea, the number of ships is never the key to victory, but strength.

Although Anna only has three ships, as a pirate with a close relationship with the witch clan, each of her ships is equipped with a twenty-person witch squad, including the ballista that she later spent a lot of money to renovate, and each of her ships is extremely capable of long-range strikes.

She's not Jeremy, she's not stupid enough to go after things that don't work, and pragmatism is her greatest strength.

"Sink them!"

Annabelle commanded in a low voice to her men.

Anna's ship began to move, and the ballistas and witches on her ship had to go within eight hundred meters to reach the optimal attack distance, and as for Jeremy's ship, the guns were never taken into account by her.

As the distance got closer and closer, the giant ballista on Anna's bow began to turn its muzzle to aim at Lear's flagship, the crossbow arrows that were more than two meters long and thigh-thick reflected the cold light in the sun, and if such a crossbow arrow hit the hull of the ship, I am afraid that it would be a bucket-sized hole in an instant, and even the first nearly twenty-meter ship under Lear's feet would not be far from sinking.

Anna was equipped with three ballistas on each ship, the bow, the roof and the stern, and as she got closer, shadowy wand-wielding witches began to appear on the deck.

"It's up to you. ”

Lear is not in a hurry, and this battle is not for him to be the protagonist.

Jeremy was shocked to hear this, bowed slightly to Lear, and then made a quick head to the cabin, where there were their last ten bronze cannons.

Then Lear's flagship also began to move, not to meet the enemy, but to retreat sharply, and the distance between the two sides was thus eerily balanced.

"Don't let them run! Flag order Jonker and Thor to chase the ships behind, they're not that fast, tell the bilge to speed up for me to bite Jeremy's flagship, the ballista and the witch are ready! Attack their hull as soon as you get into range! Remember to shoot only the ship, not the man!"

Obviously, in addition to her beautiful and seductive appearance, Annabelle is not lacking in intelligence and naval command ability at all.

Because the seven ships behind were all large merchant ships or even fishing boats, they were much inferior to Annabelle's ships in terms of speed, and it didn't take long for the other two ships under the command of Jonk and Thor to bite the fleet's butts tightly, and the sound of the enemy's ballistas could be heard from the distance from the fire.

Several huge crossbow arrows roared through a distance of hundreds of meters and then crashed into the flotilla behind, and there was no need to look at Lear to know that the loss must not be light, and then dozens of white lights also rose from the two enemy ships, and the white light that was as faint as nothing in the sunlight immediately caused a violent explosion and a terrible howl after hitting the hull behind the ship.

The ships behind were loaded with land warriors, and at most some orcs or archers, they had no power to fight back in the face of such an ultra-long-range dense attack, and they could not even parry, they could only be beaten passively like targets.

The ship at Lear's feet was fast enough, but he couldn't take care of the entire fleet.

In the course of a short chase, Jeremy finally waited for the perfect switch of hull angles.

Then look, you people who look down on me.

"Reload!"

He yelled.

The sailors skillfully took out the black iron balls from the wooden boxes and carefully loaded them into the chambers.

"Target Pirate Flagship!

Through the improvised sighting mounts on the gun carriage, the sailors nervously but steadily adjusted the muzzle of the gun.

"Ignition!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Thousands of meters away, five bronze cannons fired a salvo with an earth-shattering roar, and then Annabelle only saw a few black things end the trajectory of the trajectory at a very fast speed, and then slammed into the battleship cabin at her feet.

Except for one that fell slightly into the sea at the stern, the other four were all hit!

Annabelle was taken aback, she knew the power of the cannon, although the stability was extremely poor, but if it exploded at close range, the power was comparable to a third-level spell bead fireball, and she was shocked to see a few black things crash into her cabin.

Without the bombing, did Jeremy really succeed?

But after a few seconds, she was shocked to find that nothing had happened.

"Hahaha, waste is always waste, you think you can cross the sea with a few pieces of broken copper and iron?

Anna shouted angrily, just to hide her panic and uneasiness.

At the bottom of the cabin, several white leads burned to the end.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Anna suddenly felt a violent vibration under her feet, and countless sharp sawdust flew from the cabin to the deck, and in an instant several witches and sailors were pierced to death, and even she herself was cut on the pretty skin by a piece of sawdust.

Then she heard the desperate cries of the sailors behind her.

"Captain, there are a few big holes in the bottom of the ship, and the sea is pouring in!

How could a pirate ship with a wooden structure withstand the devastation of an explosion of this magnitude, except for a few large holes in the bottom of the ship on the side of the ship, even a huge crack appeared in the keel.

"Impossible!"

That was Anna's first thought, but then she went crazy and drove the pirates down to the bilge to plug the gap, and in a matter of seconds she saw her ship drop nearly half a meter.

"Turn the ship!"

Jeremy's eyes were red like madness, yes, this is artillery, this is what war should look like!

"Retreat! Retreat!"

Annabelle yelled hysterically, this battle could not be fought at all, her crossbow arrows and spells could not even touch the side of Jeremy's gunboat at a distance of more than a thousand meters, and the only way was to rush to the enemy ship at full speed, but Jeremy's speed was not slower than her at all, and the damage to her hull could no longer support this battle!

She must return to the harbor at once, before sinking to the bottom of the sea.

Jeremy watched indifferently as Annabelle's three ships turned around and began to flee without giving the order to pursue, only to wait for his hull to adjust its position, and then his arm pointed at Annabelle's flagship again.

"Fire!"

At this time, Anna's ship had just sailed less than a hundred meters away.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Hearing the cannon behind her, Annabelle was terrified, and a strong magical light rose from her hand and shouted at the witches behind her, "Stop those cannonballs!"

Under the combined spell of a dozen witches, including Anna, a layer of white atmospheric shield appeared above the stern, which was able to block the three whistling cannonballs, but still two of them broke over the magic shield wall and smashed into the stern.

"No !!"

Annabelle was on the verge of despair.

"Go and throw those iron balls out!!"

She drew the thin sword at her waist and viciously forced the pirates in front of her, her hideous face was like the vicious Medusa in the Nine Shadows, and the pirates trembled and retreated, but none of them dared to approach the cabin.

"Boom!" There were two loud bangs, and Anna's body staggered backwards, and the hull of the ship had begun to tilt violently.

"Straighten the bow of the ship and catch up!

Jeremy excitedly ordered from the cabin, he felt that his life had never been so complete as it was today, and his eyebrows were far from enough to describe his current mood.

He only wants to kill, he only wants to explode, he only wants to sink all the ships that come before him, he is the trident of the siren, he is the king of the sea!

The bilge sailors swayed the oars with all their might, and the Jeremy scurried through the waves.
