Chapter 103: Who's the Prey
"Captain, look, there's a boat over there, haha, we have prey again. On the pirate ship, the sailors on the watchtower shouted in ecstasy to the pirate commander below.
When the pirate captain heard this, he quickly walked to the helm tower and looked out into the distance.
"Southwest, turn the rudder and catch up that way. The pirate captain was delighted, "Inform the other two ships to speed up." β
Hearing the command, the helmsman turned the rudder, some sailors climbed the mast to adjust the sails, and the flag-bearer in the lookout began to raise flags to inform the other two seagoing ships led by the deputy commander.
The three pirate ships made the most of their sails and sped up towards the two ships in the distance.
The pirate leader stared at the two ships, and said with a wild smile: "Haha, guys, the waterline of that ship is not shallow, it seems that it has carried a lot of goods, it is really a fat lamb!"
"Commander, why did they stop?" shouted the sailor of the lookout.
"It's just that our prey has given up resistance. A group of pirates on deck laughed.
"No, they turned around and sailed in ...... direction It's us. The sailor on the lookout was a little puzzled.
"Haha, it's naΓ―ve that these two ships want to compete with us. One sailor made an exaggerated expression and laughed strangely.
"They adjusted the sails and the two boats picked up speed. The sailor who was watching was reporting on current affairs, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
In his experience, judging from the waterline of the opposing sea vessels, it is very likely that these two ships are merchant ships, and the other may be a frigate. On the sea, ordinary merchant ships almost always walk around when they see pirates, how can they turn the bow of the ship directly to meet them?
What's more, there are three ships on their side, and two sea ships against three, is the other party confident or stupid? Or is it crazy?
The ships of both sides walked in opposite directions, and the distance was quickly narrowed.
The sailors on the pirate ship kept staring at the two ships opposite, and gradually, a bright red flag suddenly appeared in his eyes.
The sailor's eyes widened as he looked at the red flag, and saw a yellow sign looming in the upper left corner of the banner waving in the wind.
That sign...... It seems like a hammer and a sickle crossed together, like a bow and arrow.
Wait, hammer sickle!
The cold sweat on the sailor's face suddenly flowed down, and he shouted frantically: "Commander, it's not good, it's a hammer sickle, it's a hammer sickle, it's them, we met them." β
"What? Hammer and sickle, that evil ship?"
The sailors on deck were in a panic, and they got up and lay on the side of the ship to look that way.
"It's really it, Commander, let's run away!"
"I've heard that they have an evil weapon that specializes in slaughtering pirate brothers. β
Recently, there has been a terrifying legend circulating in the eastern seas. Legend has it that a ship flying the red hammer and sickle flag, wielding a powerful fire-based magic weapon, roamed the eastern seas and slaughtered pirates everywhere.
In the past, naval warfare was basically based on the speed of sailing ships to catch up, and after leaning together, they were engaged in onboard operations.
But according to rumors, this sea ship is different, often the pirate ship has not yet approached him, it will be hit by the magic weapon on the sea ship, causing heavy casualties to the people on board, and some sea ships were hit by the hull waterline and sank directly in the sea.
The pirate leader also glanced over there, and saw the bright red flag on the mast, as well as ...... The evil hammer and sickle symbol that was rumored on the banner.
The pirate leader was also a little panicked, but looking at the sailing speed of the opposite ship and his own sailing speed, it would definitely be too late to adjust the sails and turn around at this time.
And...... At this time, he suddenly turned around, didn't he clearly tell the other party that his three ships were afraid of their two ships?
The terror of this flag is indeed circulating in the eastern seas, but these rumors ...... It seems that it was all those weak pirate ships, saying it.
This bright red banner, the real strength and terror, their pirate group has only heard of it, and no one has ever seen it.
They can defeat the weak pirate group, but they may not be able to defeat themselves, knowing that they have three ships and more than 300 men on board.
The pirate leader's expression gradually became confident, and he couldn't help but show a cruel smile.
The pirate leader said in his heart, let me defeat this legend!
There was a commotion on the deck, and the pirate captain pulled out his scimitar and slashed it on the edge of the helm tower, sinking a few inches into the plank: "Shut up Lao Tzu, the standard-bearer informs the two deputy commanders, all take up arms, and prepare to meet the enemy." β
"Whoever dares to shake the army's heart, I will kill whoever with one sword. The pirate commander stared at the sailors one by one, "The so-called invincible hammer and sickle is nothing but an exaggeration by that group of cowardly cowards, let me expose this lie today, brothers, take up your weapons, defeat this so-called legend, and turn them into our prey." β
"As long as we defeat them, we will henceforth be kings of the eastern seas. The pirate leader shouted, agitating the pirates on board.
But...... The effect was not bad, and some of the fierce pirates in their bones were aroused, and they all drew their big swords and scimitars, and shouted in unison.
The leaders of the two ships received the flag and passed the order on. The sailors on both ships heard the sound of the pirate warship and howled along with it.
The voices converged and were sent by the sea breeze to the sea ship of the liberation regiment.
"What are they shouting?" the voice faintly reached the helm, and Jason asked.
Downer looked at the three sea ships, looked back and smiled: "I don't know, I guess they are celebrating us as prey to the door, right?"
Prey?
The people on deck laughed, and even Hans, who was not smiling, opened his mouth.
I don't know who the prey is!
The newcomers, in particular, laughed and laughed, completely forgetting about their pirate ship and the fear of being dominated by artillery.
Yuri was bored in the cabin, and was in the helm at this time, and he asked Donner, "Donner, is the cannon you are talking about the same weapon that you found two dwarves on the island?"
"Is that the thing? called artillery?" Yuri pointed to the ten iron pipes on either side of the deck, next to the side of the ship, "Is this really that powerful?"
Donner looked at the ten cannons, and said with a mysterious smile: "Yes, it's called artillery, whether it's powerful or not, you'll know later." β
Yuri scratched his beard: "Donner boy, why don't you try it now and let me see." β
Old Yuri's heart was like a cat's scratch, and he was very curious about things he had not seen, and he couldn't sleep without seeing them.
"Wait, there's no hurry, we'll see you when we get close to those three pirate ships. Donner chuckled.
Yuri glared, "How long will it take." β
"It's coming!" Donner looked at the three pirate ships slowly approaching on the opposite side, already approaching the maximum range of the cannons.
