As Fred's order was given, the gunners began to take position, and the "Riptide Seagull" began to rush towards the "Fierce Fire" pirate group in the distance in a fighting position.

As the "Riptide Seagull" gradually approached, the two sides in the distance also spotted the uninvited guests who were about to break into the battlefield.

However, both sides cautiously did not approach, but instead pulled away for some distance, and also stopped circling and testing each other.

The sudden arrival of ships and unfamiliar flags made both sides not know which side the "Riptide Seagull" belonged to when they came to the battlefield.

I don't know if it's a bounty hunter chasing pirates, or a pirate companion who wants to eat black.

Both sides watched cautiously until they saw the Riptide Seagull turn its hull sideways and aim its guns at the Fierce Fire pirate group.

"Boom!"

The two layers of guns on the port side of the "Riptide Seagull" opened fire at the same time.

After completing a salvo, the Riptide Seagull began to turn course and cruise to the right in preparation for a second salvo.

And "Fierce Fire" Arena also saw this, and he also found that the firepower of the unknown ship in front of him was unusually ferocious.

At the distance just now, your own artillery has not yet reached the firing range, and the opponent has already launched a salvo.

Arena decisively ordered the sails to turn and rushed towards the ship in front of him, closing the distance.

For Arena, the uninvited guest in front of him, whether he wants to eat black and black pirate companions or pirate hunters, is much more difficult to deal with than the whaling ship, and is the priority to solve.

Arena's choice did not come as a surprise to Fred, who ordered the ship to turn right and face the enemy on the starboard side, in addition to preparing the starboard artillery fire, but also to suppress the wind and occupy the upwind position.

In the new era, while most ships have added steam power, the huge sails still provide enough power, especially for older ships like the Flame Pirates opposite.

After the second round of artillery salvo hits, the two sides began to advance on a flat line, as the "Riptide Seagull" suppressed the wind direction and the fire was more powerful.

A longer entanglement is certainly a more advantageous option for the Riptide Seagull.

When it was known that the enemy had several powerful extraordinaires, Fred chose to make full use of the artillery and power advantages of his own ships to kill the enemy first, avoid or delay the time of the engagement, and reduce unnecessary casualties.

Recklessly engaging the enemy in reckless engagement at the forefront's edge is not a good commander's decision.

After several circles and several salvos of fire between the two sides, Arena found that he seemed to have no way at all, that the other commanders were very experienced, that there were no flaws, and that the ship's firepower was stronger, and that several sailors on his side had already been hit by artillery.

Seeing the current situation, Arena is ready to withdraw from this battle, and a long-term stalemate is not only a reduction in his own personnel, but also prone to more surprises, such as the reappearance of a third party.

And his supernatural abilities didn't work at all at a distance of a few hundred yards, and artillery fire at this distance was a complete waste of expensive artillery, Arena thought, and ordered the helmsman to turn around and prepare to leave the sea.

"Captain, run on the other side!" The lookout saw the change clearly and reported it to Captain Fred.

Fred also understood the other side's intentions, but he had no intention of ending the fight.

After all, this is the first battle of the "Riptide Seagull" in the target area, and the opponent is not very strong, and it is the notorious kind of pirate.

This is a good goal, both from the point of view of training the crew and from the point of view of hunting.

When you have an advantage, how can you let them go so easily?

So he decisively ordered to pursue!

Roman knew that a pursuit could easily develop into a broadside battle, so he reminded the sailors to be prepared.

And Roman himself, too, came to the side side.

Arena also discovered the pursuit intentions of the other side, and knew that the battle was inevitable.

In Arena's view, the ship in front of him, even if it has more firepower, cannot fire expensive shells endlessly, and in the end it must choose the side to decide the victory, and this is just as he wants.

Fred really didn't plan to continue the shelling, the number of shells on the ship was limited, and it was impossible to fire them endlessly, which would make the "Riptide Seagull" lose the ability to face subsequent crises, such as the sudden appearance of third parties.

Therefore, after using artillery to kill and injure part of the opponent's living force, only by taking the side can the benefits be maximized.

After all, the goal of the Riptide Seagull was not to sink the pirate ship, but to hunt the pirates' heads and capture their ships and belongings.

As the two ships got closer and closer, both sides were ready for a broadside battle.

Roman walked over to Fred, "Captain, when it's time to get off the board, I'll face the 'fierce fire' on the other side." ”

This is also what Roman has considered, and the biggest threat to the "Riptide Seagull" and everyone on board is the suspected "arsonist" Arena.

Holding him down and creating space for his teammates to kill other pirates should be the best option, Roman, who has several powerful and extraordinary items, is confident that he can drag down a "fireman", and when the captain faces an opponent who is lower than his own sequence, he has more power to eliminate the impact of the fireman on the ship with water-based spells.

And facing an opponent with a higher sequence than himself on the surface is also the opportunity that Roman wants to play.

Fred looked at Roman and nodded: "Then you be careful, as long as you drag him down, we will deal with the remaining pirates as soon as possible." ”

When everyone was making a battle plan, the sailors on the opposite side had already thrown their grappling hooks, and the broadside battle officially began.

Before the two ships could get completely close, they saw that on the opposite ship, arrows formed by red flames suddenly appeared, flying towards the people of the "Riptide Seagull".

Fred took a step forward, raised his hands, and condensed balls of water from the sea water and floated in the air, gradually solidifying like cannonballs, blocking the flight path of the arrows.

"Bang!" At the moment when the water and fire came into contact, the cannonball-like water balls burst open violently, turning into mist in the sky, and the red arrows formed by the flames had also disappeared.

So handsome......

Before Roman could sigh, he saw that the enemy had already crossed the deck and rushed towards the "Riptide Seagull".

As planned, Roman rushed straight into the crowd and began to look for the "arsonist".

As a partial spellcaster, Arena certainly won't rush at the enemy in the first place.

However, when he saw Roman brandishing his long sword and rushing into the crowd, killing several sailors in an instant, he still couldn't resist repeatedly compressing a yellowish hot arrow in front of him and shooting at Roman.

And this process of condensation and compression also allowed Roman, who had been scanning the battlefield, to discover the location of this "fierce fire" Arina.
