On the deck of the Silent Death, Crete held a telescope, his eyes piercing through the thick fog, and his mouth kept reporting the location, angle, and distance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Daniel's scepter was swung constantly, adjusting the angle of each cannon according to Cretan data, and loading it with different types of shells.

Nora didn't go down to the decks where the guns were installed, after all, she couldn't be on all five decks at once. She loosened the garnet necklace slightly, and her right hand released dozens of leaping flames, which flew down the passage to the artillery and stood by.

With Luca's command to "fire", Nora controls the flames, lighting one fuse after another.

Well, Lukka couldn't see where the target was, he just shouted a few casually and did his duty as captain.

But not a single shell missed.

Originally, in this kind of naval battle, basically 30% of the shells fired by both sides can hit the target, which is considered good. Most of the battles are fought by both sides, and whoever bombards hard and has thick armor will win in the end.

But that was when the range and hits of both sides were basically equal.

Now, it was just a dark shadow that appeared in the opposing telescope far away, and the firepower of the Silent Reaper could cover it effortlessly.

And the artillery trio does not seem to need to run in at all, the loading and aiming firing is orderly, and the hit rate is 100%!

Even if the dozen or so battleships turned their heads and wanted to run, after a burst of chain bombs fired continuously, the entire Black Sails Third Fleet present did not leave a single complete mast!

The sound of different cannon discharges, the roar of guns of different calibers, the hits and explosions in different directions, all of this, a nautical mile north of the abyss of the shrike birds, formed a symphony of fire and blood.

Charlie Alvin never imagined that he would come out of the sea in such a way.

When the mainmast of the Whitetail Eagle fell, he barely managed to maintain his composure as a captain and as a fleet commander, directing his men to release the dinghy into the sea and prepare for escape.

But after the Whitetail Eagle was hit by several heavy bullets in succession, breaking off from the center, he became like a headless fly running around, screaming and pushing away the people around him, rushing to the nearest lifeboat.

Get out of this sea purgatory! That's probably what these pirates share.

However, the number of lifeboats is limited, and the number of people carrying them is far from enough.

A dinghy was wobbly not far in front of Alwin, and he jumped into the sea and swam over.

But it was already full. When he grabbed the side of the ship and tried to roll over, the ship pushed and shoved and squeezed down two or three wounded pirates. He dragged the sailors who also wanted to get on the boat away, and kicked the other side of the door for safety.

Then, Alvin felt a chill in his back.

He saw the silver tip of the knife on his chest, and the layers of blood that were fading away in the sea.

A sailor grabbed him tightly on the side of the ship and broke his fingers, and the corpse, which had lost its last bit of life, slowly sank to the bottom.

The commander of the Third Fleet of the Venture and Investment Federation, Charlie Alwin, died at the hands of an unknown sailor he usually called for a position in a lifeboat.

However, the dinghy did not last long, and more and more pirates began to kill each other.

Eventually, after a heavy bomb that flew in, the dinghy also turned into several floating pieces of broken wood.

......

The battle, or rather the one-sided shelling, ended in less than half an hour.

The Silent Death fired a total of 3,276 shells, all of which hit, an average of nearly two per second.

The chamber of the last cannon cooled, and the Silent Reaper finally burst into a thick fog.

Lukka ordered: "Forward, collect the loot!"

Then he saw a battlefield of chaos.

"That...... It seems that the firepower is a little too much, and the loot should only be scum. Ollie didn't make a difference this time, and leaned on the side of the boat in frustration.

"The first time I tried the ship's guns, I didn't have ......," Nora said with a blushing face.

Lukka looked at the chaos on the surface of the sea, slightly physiologically uncomfortable. But this situation did not last long, and he faced not just random sailors, but a group of vicious pirates. If he can't bear it a little, maybe the corpse floating on the sea in the next moment belongs to him.

Lukka looked back at Ollie, Nora, Crete, and even Daniel and Shut Up. He can't put these partners who stand firmly by his side at all times in danger because of his momentary weakness.

Thinking of this, Lukka took a deep breath and said, "Let's go, get out of here." ”

He did not exert any effort to save the pirates who were still alive on the sea, nor did he order them to be exterminated. If only a few living people could go back, like Daniel did before, let them go and spread the legends. It's time to swap the indecent reputation of Crimson Shadow for the true prestige of a pirate.

After about an hour, the air was no longer filled with the scorching smell of those gunpowder embers, nor the smell of blood.

The Silent Reaper wasn't as fast as the Peregrine Falcon, but for her size, the top speed of twelve knots was already a surprising number.

Leaving the Shrike Abyss, Daniel lost control of the sea, and he could only control the Silent Reaper by manipulating the sails, of course, the rudder was handed over to the stubborn captain, and the Peregrine Falcon was now dragged behind by ropes.

"Captain, what flag are we flying?" asked Daniel suddenly.

The original Xiangrui, which had always carried the royal flag of the Boat Song Kingdom, was now obviously out of place. Daniel didn't dwell on the matter, but he felt that something had to be hung on the bare mast.

"It should be a pirate flag, right? The black skull kind. Ollie hesitated.

"No! I don't want to stay on a ship with that black flag!" Nora bit her lip tightly, and was about to cry.

"Don't have a black flag. Lukka agreed, and looked down at his coat, the one he had just retrieved from the Peregrine mast.

"That's the color," he said, pointing to his coat, "the skull banner of this color, plus the staff." ”

Daniel nodded, and a moment later, a banner rose on the main mast of the Silent Reaper, with a white skull and staff in the center, and a dark red background.

Darker than blood, thicker than the rising sun.
