Chapter 151: Naval Battle (I)

The inland sea south of the province of Bourbon is about a two-day voyage by freighter, and if you don't load cargo and go full speed, you can reach the other side in just over a day.

In the Inland Sea, as Thunder expected, there were already goblin merchants who had driven large fishing boats and began to hunt fishmen on a large scale.

Two superfreighters with a deep draft pull huge fishing nets and drag them slowly.

These wide, flat, undecked freighters were usually used to carry stones, sand, wood, etc., but now, they are used to carry the carcasses of fishmen.

In addition to the two hundred-meter-long super freighters, he also dispatched three large fishing boats seventy or eighty meters long, as well as five frigates loaded with multiple white crystal cannons, to protect his property and interests.

Qiu-eun was holding a scepter in his hand, and he seemed to be able to blow him away with a gust of wind.

But he was still very young, and after inheriting his father's fortune, he had plenty of money, and then, in the midst of this wave of fishermen, he immediately mobilized a fleet to rush to this inland sea.

For the time being, his decision is undoubtedly very correct.

The two large freighters with fishing nets were loaded with many fish-man corpses, and the purple fish-men had been transferred to the three fishing boats and preserved with ice.

Just from the piles of fish-man corpses on the large freighter, you can know his approximate harvest.

His ambition is very big, almost rushing to catch all the fishmen in this inland sea, taking advantage of the fact that there is not much competition now, how much can he catch.

"Hmm, is there another fishing boat coming to steal business? Shoot me!"

Standing on the deck, Qiu Qiuen has a very keen eye, and in the daytime, from a few kilometers away, you can see the waves brought up by other ships as they sail.

Qiu Qiuen was able to catch so many fishmen, and even the corpses of ordinary fishmen who had dumped more than a dozen boats on the coast, all by heart.

The accumulation of capital is bloody, and Qiu Qiuen's action, as long as it is roughly calculated, has already brought him more than ten times the return. But he could not be satisfied with this, there were many more fish-men in this inland sea, and he had already ordered the cannon to sink nine ships, if this one was sunk again. That's ten.

The five frigates quickly crossed the superfreighter and headed for the lone fishing boat, and the long-range shooting rate was very low, and only firing when they got close could the hit rate be improved.

When the frigate approached, the main gun in the bow began to test fire. These five frigates are all powerful battleships loaded with seven white crystal cannons, and they belong to the best frigates sold by the Goblin Empire, with three in the bow, two in the stern, and one on each side.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The White Crystal cannon was fired in no sequence, and the hull shook with it, and the speed of the forward rush was slightly affected by the recoil of the cannon.

A total of fifteen white crystal cannons fired at the same time, and the white energy beams flew out like cannonballs after leaving the barrel, but these energy beams were almost shot out in a straight line, unlike the speed at which the cannonballs fell quickly.

If it's a close-range target, it explodes immediately after firing the gun. However, when attacking long-distance targets, as long as you keep your eyes open and look carefully, you can still see the attack trajectory with your eyes.

The fishing boat was already feeling bad when it saw the Grand Fleet of Qiuqiuen, and the helmsman of the fishing boat played the left full rudder and tried to escape.

However, the speed of ordinary fishing boats and frigates cannot be compared, and frigates can reach nearly twice the speed of fishing boats when going straight at full speed.

Fifteen beams of energy grazed the side of the fishing boat and exploded on the surrounding sea, and from such a distance, the fishing boat was still moving at high speed, and as long as there was the slightest deviation, the shell would not hit.

The spray of the beam cannonballs crashed against the fishing boats, and many of the seawater even washed up onto the deck. The fishing boat tilted and swayed, as if sailing in a raging storm.

Cowardly goblin sailors screamed, cheering for their Empire's Crystal Cannons, but when the weapon was aimed at them. Their inner feelings must be very uncomfortable.

There is a white crystal cannon in the front and rear of this fishing boat, but there are five frigates rushing towards them on the opposite side, what kind of goblin gunner is in the mood to shoot back at this time?

"Squeak!

A beam of energy shot high and broke one of the fishing boat's masts, which broke and smashed on the deck, causing a little trauma to the hull, but luckily. Not much impact.

The five frigates rushed over in a row, and the distance was getting closer and closer.

The fishing boat also belonged to a goblin merchant, and the captain of the fishing boat stood at the bow of the boat frantically waving flags to the effect of "own people!

The captain of the fishing boat is still trying to redeem himself.

And the owner of the fishing boat, the goblin merchant, was desperate to let the splash of water hit his face.

He couldn't understand the rules of survival of the Goblin Empire anymore, and he knew that he was going to die today, and the five powerful frigates on the other side could easily shred his fishing boat.

The frigate and the fishing boat are getting closer and closer, and the frigate is trying its luck in the first round of shelling just now, and it hits the best, and it doesn't matter if it misses, and finally breaks a mast, but it does not cause great damage to the hull.

Now that it's so close, it's easier to shell.

"Sink it!

Qiu-e-en gave the order to sink indifferently, and his thin face had the determination of a goblin businessman.

For the bonus, the goblin gunners used their conscience to feed the fish, ignoring the goblin ship's "own people!" flag.

Aim, Fix, Fire!

In the second round of shelling, most of the energy beams hit the waltering fishing boat, tearing it almost to pieces.

The planks were shattered, and the broken hull was in flames, sinking rapidly in billowing black smoke.

The five frigates began to slow down, and the battered fishing boat sank into the sea under their gaze.

The frigates began to turn, and their main task was to protect cargo ships and fishing boats.

"Ahem. Qiu Qiuen coughed lightly, his straight back relaxed, although it was only a small fishing boat, but he would not be careless, he had heard a lot about the overturning of the boat in the gutter, so he was extra vigilant.

After sinking the fishing boat he met, Qiu Qiu-eun was satisfied, although he had to pay a promised bonus, but this bonus was nothing to mention for the huge profits he was making now.

Perhaps in the time it took him to sink the fishing boat, he had already caught hundreds of purple fishmen in the nets, which was 30,000 gold grads.

It is this kind of windfall profit that makes Qiuqiuen so crazy.

His plan was to sink other ships as long as they encountered them, no matter what they were, as long as they could eat them!

Only in this way can we protect our own interests.

At this time, Lei Ming rushed to the port again after attending the military parade, and he must ensure that there is a sea area in the inland sea that belongs to him! )
