The shrike abyss has a very different color of the sea compared to the safe sea. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Clusters of dark colors can be seen under the surface of the reef zone, and between the dark colors, the staggered whirlpools and the waves stirred up by the reef bloom into clusters of white flowers.

The color of the sea outside the reef zone is a transparent deep blue, and inexperienced sailors may be deceived by this color, but even if the sea seems calm, as long as you are close to the dark reef zone for about half a nautical mile, the turbulent undercurrent under the sea surface will completely lose control and involuntarily rush into the death zone.

The nine warships of the Black Sails Third Fleet were already waiting here, and they knew the characteristics of this sea area well, and the entire fleet spread out left and right about a nautical mile from the reef zone, forming a fan-shaped formation, and the Peregrine Falcon happened to be in the center of this fan-shaped firepower.

"Don't fire! Catch you alive!" cried Charlie Alwin, standing on the bow of the Whitetail Eagle in the center.

Of course, he did not suddenly develop a conscience, but considered that only living fire spirits can be regarded as the most valuable "active flames", after all, the flames that fall into the sea will definitely be extinguished. Besides, seven C-class three-masted battleships plus two B-class cruisers against a fluttering E-class fast ship, and if they still need to fire at full power, Charlie Alvin will probably be laughed at inside the Black Sails.

The Peregrine Falcon had no such concerns, and when Lukka saw this half of the fleet for the first time, he ordered loudly: "Nora, go to the battery and take position! Crete go and help reload!"

When the two heard this, they quickly descended to the second deck, where four newly installed guns were quietly displayed.

The two three-masted warships of the opposing fleet had already approached one on the left and one on the right, apparently trying to get on the side of the ship directly from both sides.

Lukka shouted, "Ollie!

Ollie immediately executed, and the Peregrine Falcon's speed immediately dropped from full speed to full speed, and it only moved forward by inertia.

Lukka turned the steering wheel with all his might, and the whole ship flicked its tail on the spot and turned to the left. As a result, the resistance of the hull increased greatly, and the decrease in speed became even more obvious, and the Peregrine Falcon suddenly stopped more than a hundred meters in front of the two three-masted ships, and did not enter the range of attack expected by the other side.

The pirate with the black sails was naturally not a new recruit in naval warfare, and as soon as he found that the Peregrine Falcon had failed to enter the circle, the two warships immediately accelerated and approached, and the other two three-masted ships followed. More than 100 meters doesn't sound close, but in fact it is just the length of several hulls of the other party. The distance between the two sides was cut in half in an instant.

Lukka shouted to the lower deck: "Starboard gun, preset angle, fire!"

"Boom, boom!" two cannon fires came from the right side of the Peregrine Falcon, almost at intervals, but the shells did not hit any targets.

The sea breeze blew from the southeast, and the Peregrine Falcon was at the downwind in this naval battle, and the inclined hull of the ship could have made the gun's firing angle higher, but before setting sail, Luca's own firing angle was so low that even if the angle of the ship itself was added, the cannonball flew out and only landed less than five meters in the sea next to the Peregrine Falcon.

"What a bunch of rookies!" said Charlie Alwyn.

But in a moment's time, the shells that fell on the surface of the sea took on a new look. The cannonball did not sink directly to the bottom of the sea, as the pirates had expected, but let out a slight "pop" and then exploded.

"Blossom shells?" Charlie Alwyn sneered and shook his head, "If you can't hit anyone, it's useless!"

However, instead of flying broken shrapnel and iron balls like normal flowering shells, the two shells shot two clouds of white smoke on the surface of the sea. Each cloud of smoke ranges more than 10 meters, which is certainly not small in the streets and alleys of the town, but in the vast sea, this size is not enough to see.

"Reload!Elevation Adjustment by 5 Degrees!Launch!" Lukka continued.

Two more shells flew out, and there were two more smoke-shrouded areas on the sea. With the help of transpiring sea fog, the effect of these smoke grenades is more stable and long-lasting than on land.

Lukka continued to order, Crete kept reloading and adjusting angles, and Nora lit the fuse round after round.

A few minutes later, the area between the Peregrine and the Blacksail Fleet was almost entirely covered in smoke.

At first, the two three-masted warships were not in a hurry, and rushed into the smoke together, almost colliding with each other.

Charlie Alwin spat "poof": "Hmph, do you want to run?

Although Lukka couldn't hear the orders of the other party's commander, he could guess almost as much as he could guess in such an obvious situation. Without waiting for the movements of the other ships of the Black Sail, he ordered again: "Half Sail! Port artillery ready!"

As the steering wheel turned again, the Peregrine quickly changed direction on the surface, leaving an arc of white spray behind the ship, but soon the white spray was completely obscured by the roaring smoke.

"Hell, where's that damn wreck?" The pirates were furious on the smoky, blind warship.

"This way, it seems to be on the right!" shouted an unknown pirate.

"You're a banana head! there's your own over there!" scolded the captain of the three-masted ship at the front.

All 50 smoke grenades purchased from Phil were fired, and Lukka caused a massive air pollution in the area. The effect is quite good, and it is not in vain that he stayed up all night yesterday to modify these shells with Crete.

Those smoke grenades were originally used to be thrown directly from the ground, fired directly in the artillery, and probably exploded before leaving the muzzle. Lukka and Crete studied it in the middle of the night, wrapping each smoke grenade with a shell and adding a delayed fuse. Although the success rate was not 100%, and there were several white smoke emitting before the gun was released, but fortunately, this thing was not lethal, and even if it failed, it would not lose anything, and it also made the hull of the Peregrine Falcon covered with white smoke.

Charlie Alwin's fleet was still groping in the smoke when the bald pirate suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Watch your bearings! Beware of the reef and don't drive to the reef belt!"

But it was too late, and one of the smaller three-masted ships had been firmly grasped by the undercurrent, and the pirates on board cried out in terror.

After all, Alvin was well-informed, and immediately ordered: "Drop anchor all! Don't go to the rescue, wait in place! This fog will not last long, at most it will disperse when the sun comes out!"

It's nearly noon, and it's the time when the sea fog slowly dissipates. But in the Shrike Bird Abyss, the climate does not always develop according to common sense.

Not only did the white smoke not disperse, but in the southern part of the reef zone, a thicker sea fog spread at a time when it should not have been seen at all.

Thicker than white smoke and heavier than morning dew.

Before the sea fog completely engulfed the White-tailed Eagle, the last thing Alvin saw was the peregrine falcon's looming mast, no flags hanging from the top of the mast, only a dark red coat swaying slightly in the fog, and finally completely disappeared south of the reef.
