Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Vanishing Pirate Lord

While the pirates of Blacksails were sweating profusely, Lukka certainly wasn't idle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The time is too tight, and it will take a whole month to return to the sail port, and you may be late in the slightly bad weather.

The Silent Reaper wasn't late, of course, but it was only a thin line away.

On the appointed day, Edward Hueb took up the position.

The five fleets of Black Sails were all assembled, from morning until dusk.

The sea in front of these fleets has been heavily mined, and the sea is empty. As long as the other party does not dive to the bottom of the water, just by virtue of the number of fleets and artillery, the five fleets of Black Sails have an absolute advantage.

The setting sun had touched the distant horizon, casting a wide red halo on the surface of the sea, covering every boat with black sails from the sky.

I don't know which ship's lookout has the best eyesight, so he was the first to shout: "It's coming!"

On the decks of hundreds of ships, countless raised binoculars pointed in unison to the west. The location of the Returning Sail Harbor is to the west, and the pirates of the Black Sails have long been informed that the Silent Death is being resupplied there.

Sure enough, the huge and mysterious battleship became clearer and clearer. The bright light of the setting sun shone behind her, outlining the entire hull of the ship with a circle of gold.

The Blacksail Fleet waited anxiously, according to Edward Hugh's orders, to wait for the other side to enter the mine-strewn waters before engagement.

Most pirates hadn't faced the Silent Reaper directly, and aside from the boredom of waiting, the clearest thought was probably that these guys had water in their heads. No matter how powerful a ship is, what can it do in the face of more than a hundred ships?

Suddenly, the lookout who had first spotted the figure of the Silent Death shouted again, this time with a pronounced tremor in his voice: "Still...... And!"

"What's more?" his captain muttered, holding up the telescope again.

Then every ship of the Black Sails boiled.

"Didn't you say there was only one?" was probably the common sentiment of every pirate at the moment.

On the sea in the distance, behind the Silent Reaper, which had just taken the lead, twenty huge ships of the same specification lined up in battle formation and slowly sailed towards them.

The five fleets of Black Sails sent this time are all elites above the B level, although they are inferior to their opponents in terms of the size of a single ship, but the total number is as high as one hundred and sixty-six, and almost all the combat members on each ship are more than two or three hundred, not to mention the number of artillery, even if each person throws a stone, he can almost pile up a small island on the sea.

So, after the initial surprise, these experienced pirates gradually stabilized.

Of course, it was their flagship Megalodon that was unmoved from the very beginning. At this time, the heavy cruiser was still the same as the battle a month earlier, firmly parked behind its own fleet, sitting in command.

The Silent Reaper's fleet was finally within range, and Blacksail's flanks moved swiftly forward, encircling them far away according to their usual tactics. With the exception of the Megalodon, which was still behind, the remaining 165 ships were all dispatched.

"Ready! Fire!"

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

The captains of almost every ship gave the order at the same time, and the loud roar of artillery rang out from all sides of Lucca's fleet.

But none of these giant ships, which looked like sea monsters, fought back!

Cannonballs rained down on the twenty huge ships, and instead of the sound of the planks shattering or the shells being bounced off the armor, they passed through without hindrance.

Just as the Black Sail Pirates were bewildered by these seamless mirrors, behind them, in the direction of the flagship Megalodon, there were several sparse cannon roars.

This didn't attract much attention, naval battles, who can not fire cannons. However, the flagship is so far away, who can be hit with these few shots? Several of the experienced captains were a little puzzled.

It was the very eye-catching lookout who first noticed the problem: "Flagship! Flagship is under attack!"

"What?" the many pirates turned back in unison, not even having time to appreciate the brilliant sparkle of the Silent Reaper's mirrors as they dissipated.

The few artillery shots just now were indeed fired by the Megalodon. However, this powerful cannon, with a caliber of more than 50 centimeters, turned out to be like a child's toy, and did not cause any damage to the enemy who appeared out of thin air from the side.

The heavy shells landed on the shell of the real Silent Reaper, and it bounced off without even making too much noise, and it fell limply into the sea.

The Silent Reaper, which was twice as tall as the Megalodon, didn't seem to bother to reward it with even a single shell, and the bow of the ship ran over the Megalodon's side.

At that moment, the Megalodon was almost completely crushed into the sea, and the pirates on board struggled to swim to the surface to escape.

However, the Megalodon's dive didn't last long, no more than a minute at most, and its broken hull slowly floated from the water to the left and right of the Silent Death.

The other warships of the Blacksail Fleet immediately came to their aid, but when they found that the intact Megalodon was no longer in the rear, they could not save their flagship in a hurry.

After the Silent Reaper hit it, it didn't get out of the way.

"Did you find it?" Lukka asked anxiously to Crete on deck.

Crete looked carefully at every pirate who fell into the water, every floating plank, and finally came to the conclusion: "Not on this ship." ā€

"No, cunning bastard!" Ollie scolded with a sonorous scolding.

Although the beheading plan went well, the person to be beheaded was nowhere to be found, much to Luca's frustration. He looked at the western sea, and hurried to the fleet, and said, "If it were on those ships, it would be difficult to find it." ā€

Crete raised his binoculars and scanned it, and said categorically, "Not over there." ā€

"Didn't this guy come at all?!" Lukka suddenly felt that he had overestimated his opponent's guts.

This time, he used up more than half of his mana on the Silent Death: first casting a combination of mirror + advanced extended range, then using extended range invisibility to sneak behind the enemy, and finally, adding a diamond skin to her before impacting.

I was going to do a hail spell on Edward Hugh in the water, but I didn't expect the other party to be there at all.

"Is that still a fight?" asked Ollie, pointing to the hundred or so ships that were getting closer.

"There's no point in fighting these little minions when people aren't there, they won't bring money when they come to fight!" Lukka had already run back behind the rudder, turning the wheel and turning the bow of the ship.

At this time, the fleet of Black Sails and the mines on the bottom of the sea are on the west side, and the east side of the Silent Reaper should be an open ocean.

But Crete suddenly said: "Captain, the enemy fleet has been found on the east side!"
