Chapter 39: Firepower is Everything

The mist enveloped the entire abyss of the Shrike, and even the moonlight could hardly penetrate it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Dinner on the Peregrine Falcon was over, and everyone was satisfied, and it was supposed to be the time to be full and sleepy, but looking back at the Silent Death that followed, Luca's excitement suppressed the drowsiness.

Ollie and Nora too, as they had swallowed their last mouthfuls of food, and climbed back down the ropes that hung from the side of the Silent Death. The energetic posture is like going shopping.

Ollie flipped over the handrail on the ship's side and turned back to pull Nora up as well. The two girls were about to discuss which floor to go to first, when they suddenly noticed two figures standing at the entrance of the cabin.

The two men stood side by side inside the hatch, right in the backlight, and could not see anything but the silhouette shrouded in shadows.

This scared Nora out of her mind, and even though the ship was now recognizable, she was the legendary ghost ship that devoured countless ships.

Ollie drew her greatsword from behind her back and approached in cautious steps.

Just as she was about to draw her sword, the slightly thinner one suddenly turned around, and when she saw Ollie, she seemed to be taken aback, and quickly dodged backwards and disappeared into the darkness.

Ollie was about to pursue when she heard a familiar voice: "Ollie, what are you doing with your sword?"

Ollie was stunned: "Luca, weren't you still on the Peregrine Falcon just now?"

"You two can't scream several times!" Luca's voice came from the dark cabin, "Daniel opened a door on the side of the ship below, leading to the Peregrine Falcon, right next to the water ladder. Have you forgotten? He can change this ship however he wants!"

Ollie was still a little confused, after all, she only heard the voice, and did not see Luca for sure.

Then, a "sparse" crash came from the cabin, accompanied by Luca's cry of pain: "Daniel, is there a light in this cabin?"

The tall figure who had been silent on the side replied, "Yes." ”

I didn't see him make any moves, and the corridor into the cabin was suddenly brightly lit. Ollie put away her sword and walked in with Nora.

In the captain's cabin at the end of the hallway, Lukka sat on the floor, two walnut chairs sitting on top of him. Obviously, the new captain is far from familiar with the set-up.

However, he didn't have time to familiarize himself with the furniture for the time being.

The peregrine mast, who was napping on the mast just now, shut up and flew over with a shout: "There are enemy ships!"

Crete followed behind him and added, "It's still the Black Sails Third Fleet, a total of fourteen ships. ”

......

Charlie Alwin on the Whitetail Eagle didn't expect the Peregrine Falcon to appear so soon.

Originally, he expected that it would take two or three days for the first fragment of the boat to float out.

If you're lucky, you might be able to catch the body of Crimson Shadow, which could also get a large bounty from Edward.

If he was lucky, he could have fished out the corpse of the "Living Flame", and Edward would definitely value himself even more. Even if there is no compliment, at least, it can break the idea of letting Mason's soft egg take his place.

So, when he saw the Peregrine Falcon coming out of the fog, it was still a complete ship, and he was really surprised.

"Hmph, you might as well sink there!" Spat at the corner of the deck, Alwyn ordered to prepare for battle.

With the previous lesson, this time he didn't dare to be careless, and he didn't think about "catching alive" at all, as soon as the Peregrine Falcon entered the attack range, he planned to fire directly and blast it to pieces.

The firepower of the thirteen ships should not be underestimated, but the Peregrine Falcon seemed to have no instincts at all and did not change course. At this rate, it will be in range in two minutes at most.

"Ready...... Come closer, come closer, ......and that's it," Alwin licked his lips, looking greedily at his prey.

"Chief, what's that?" cried out anxiously from the sailors on the watchtower, disturbing Alwin's hunting mood.

He was about to get angry when the sailor shouted again: "Behind that fast boat, inside the fog, what is that?!"

Alvin held up his binoculars and looked behind the Peregrine Falcon.

In the heavy fog, a huge black shadow loomed. Even if it was still far away, it was enough for Alvin to feel the heavy oppression of that behemoth.

"What is this?" he muttered quietly, "an island?"

The sailors weren't as calm as Elwin, and a few looked at each other dumbfounded, even forgetting what they were doing.

"Do your job!" Elwin yelled angrily, "Leave that thing alone, maybe it's just a big cloud!"

The sailors put away some of their horror and hurriedly adjusted the angle of the guns, aiming at the Peregrine Falcon, which was slowly coming into view.

"Boom!"

Cannon fired.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

One after another, more artillery roared.

However, the voice did not come from Elwin's fleet.

The huge black shadow was still hidden in the mist, and four or five rows of horizontal lines could be faintly seen glowing red in turn.

The first to be shot was a C-class three-masted galleon, just on the port side of the Whitetail Eagle.

This is the most advanced type of ship in the Sunset Islands, and the Imperial Navy has not been researching and building this type of ship for a long time, and Alvin has worked hard to get one from the ship black market.

Although it is also a C-class ship, this ship has a longer hull and a much lower bow than the usual Karak, which gives it unprecedented stability and handling.

But now, the so-called stability, the so-called sense of operation, is not worth mentioning in the face of absolute firepower.

At first it was just a heavy bomb that hit the side of the Galen's ship, smashing a large hole.

Elwin's heart twitched, and he felt like a lot of money was flowing down the hole into the sea. Then, he couldn't convulse.

The heavy bullet was followed by a dozen grapes shells bundled into cylinders, which were scattered into dozens of projectiles when they left the muzzle, and rained down on the deck.

Then two cannonballs, chained together, spun like twin stars and flew towards the Galen's mast. The fir mainmast, which is more than a meter in diameter, did not make any struggle, and broke in a brittle response.

And then more heavy bombs, more grapeshits.

Before Elwin's next order could be spoken, a dozen leaking holes appeared in the side of the three-masted galleon, and grapeshotfire caused heavy casualties among the sailors.

Watching the ship sink rapidly, Alvin didn't have time to regret it, he immediately shouted, "Retreat! Get out of that thing's fire!"

Without his call, the sailors on the other ships had already turned around and fled.

But they underestimated the range and speed of the Reaper.
