Chapter 91: Why Don't You Go to Heaven?
There was no more fire from the five fleets around the Silent Death. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On her south, west, and north sides, tiny pieces of wood and slightly larger shipwrecks were smiling and unwillingly crowded on the surface of the sea. From time to time, wreckage hit a floating mine that did not explode, stirring up a new roar.
To the east, the five battleships, with all their might, failed to arrive in time to stop the absurd battle.
Edward Hugh did not know what method the other side used to control the mines on the bottom of the sea, and almost instantly wiped out his elite fleet from this sunset sea.
Looking at the floating island of debris in the telescope, he only felt that he had pitted himself very badly. However, regret has never existed in his dictionary, and the losses suffered today and before must be doubled back, this is the style of the island lord.
What's more, he hasn't completely lost his advantage.
Those fleets, although they have become scum, are not useless. The wreckage of the ship and the floating mines were mixed together, and the whole fleet did more to prevent the Silent Reaper from escaping from those three directions than the previous fleet.
No matter how strong the hull is, sailing through such a sea will have more than a dozen holes in the bottom of the ship.
To the east, the only thing to the east where the Silent Reaper looked safe to sail out of, the battleship had sealed the last safe exit.
Five battleships crossed the hull, lined up end to end, and the partitions on the three rows of deck guns had all been opened, revealing brand new gun ports.
Faced with such a scene, even Ollie trembled slightly. Before, her giant sword flew up and down, knocking out dozens of cannonballs of different sizes, and at this time, she poked the giant sword on the ground, supporting her body to rest for a while, such a battle was really a lot of physical exertion.
"We ...... Call...... Isn't it as powerful as theirs?" Ollie gasped.
Daniel raised his scepter and shouted, "Coward!"
"They're not stupid, why should they go head-to-head if they have a numerical advantage?" Crete returned from the lower artillery deck, waiting for Luka's next round of orders.
Lukka was also a little dizzy when he looked at the rows of black hole-like muzzles, and he had a diamond skin again? But even if he could block one round, or even a few rounds of salvos, as long as he was still in this encirclement, the opponent could continue to suppress with numerical superiority, and in the end, what could be the result except for the exhaustion of mana?
He estimated his mana pool, each battleship had at least 140 guns, even if only half of them were rushing at this side, the cannons of this caliber were still distributed on three decks, which was not at all covered by a few hail techniques. This option was also ruled out.
He sighed softly, and a glimmer of light flashed in the corner of his eye. The light came from inside the shattered crystal of the Amethyst Staff, the last afterglow of the reverberation of the weight loss technique just now.
Lukka smiled.
......
Edward Hugh smiled.
Under the battleship, there were no mines, but a huge net that was several nautical miles long was dragged, which was not an original invention of the Imperial Laboratory, but was specially ordered by the island lord inspired by the hulks of nearby fishing boats.
At least this time, the Silent Death had to face its own artillery fire directly.
With a cruel smile on his lips, the pirate lord raised his scimitar and ordered loudly: "All fire!"
The roar of the artillery resounded across the sea again, and in order to prevent the Silent Reaper from suddenly diving, he deliberately asked his men to lower the angle of the cannons, all aiming near the opponent's waterline.
For a few minutes, Edward Hugh almost thought he had succeeded.
The bomb whistled towards the lowest deck of the Silent Reaper, and the waves splashed and landed exactly on the surface of the sea and the line on the side of the ship.
But when he raised his hand to disperse the smoke in front of him and raised the telescope again, he found that the shells did not cause any damage!
It wasn't bounced off by the invisible magic armor like it had done before, nor did it leave a single scratch on the shell of the Silent Reaper, nor did it pass through it like it had done with the previous phantoms.
The shells all landed between the surface of the sea and the bottom of the Silent Death.
That's right, the sea and the bottom of the Silent Death were separated by several meters at this time. In other words, the giant ship is no longer floating on the water, but in the air in its entirety!
This isn't the first time she's been out of the water, but the previous time she was called the Xiangrui.
Another light loss spell that was cast on the entire ship. Lukka was familiar with the road this time, and almost as soon as he raised his hand, the spell had been exited, and the Silent Reaper floated vertically upwards for several meters, just enough to avoid the round of shelling below.
"Up...... Heaven?" muttered the bewildered first mate on the new Megalodon.
In just one month, when he saw a ship go into the sea and then go up to the sky, he thought he must be dreaming.
Edward Hugh struck him hard with the back of his knife: "Order! Adjust the muzzle of the gun and prepare for the second round of fire!"
Now, no matter how incredible the other party does, the island lord will not think about it anymore, and there is only revenge left in his eyes.
However, the Silent Reaper's speed was even faster, and within a minute, the entire ship had risen to a height of thirty meters. The guns on the battleships were designed for naval warfare, and in an era when there had never been an airplane, the muzzles could be adjusted at the most angle to hit the opponent's mast, and even if the maximum elevation angle was used, it would not be possible to touch a single plank of the Silent Death.
The giant ship in the air had a new movement at this time, stabilizing its posture a little in the air, and the triangular sail on her tail turned a few times, which made the huge hull easily turn ninety degrees, facing west.
The sails on all four masts were lowered, and there was no resistance from the sea, and the not too strong east wind allowed the Silent Reaper to reach a speed that was completely unimaginable in the water.
As if she had not yet adapted to it, she shook her hull a few times before finally finding a suitable position to levitate in the air, and swaggered over the dense wreckage and scattered mines, leaving only an arrogant silhouette of the stern of Edward Hugh.
The last rays of the setting sun finally disappeared, and the Silent Death was illuminated into a golden figure and completely disappeared into the western sky.
The pirate lord finally had to face the fact that his huge power and his elite fleet across the archipelago were completely wiped out in this battle, and if he didn't have these five battleships in his hand, he would probably have committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea immediately.
But with these few battleships and the fame that was about to disappear completely, could Edward Hugh still be able to deter the surviving pirates?
