Valhalla 2nd floor, atrium.

Woooooooo

The terrible cold wind whistled and whistled away, and the wind speed gradually increased to 25 knots of level 6 wind, and the white foam broke through the peak to form a whirling white stripe like snow.

The sea here is in the same state as the North Sea, which enters winter in November.

Many of the Bayfolk pirate ships, apparently from various historical periods, were in tatters and should have sunk long ago, cruising like sharks.

Galleys, galleys, sloops, galens, and so on.

Apparently they are all "collective coffins"!

An entire team of pirates with dozens or hundreds of people buried on a single ship.

Piracy has always been a high-risk profession.

If they are defeated on the sea, they usually face the tragic end of having their entire ship killed, so they tend to fight to the death and are extremely brave.

Finally, after a tragic battle, it is not uncommon for a real ship to become a coffin.

A very small number of them have become ghost ships that everyone talks about on the sea, and most of the remaining spirits have come here and fight all day long on the surface of the "Atrium".

"In the second level of the Great Secret Treasure Trial, defeat a 'collective ship coffin' and seize the navigator's [Whale Oil Lantern], which can be guided by it to enter the third layer of the 'Night Country'."

This treasure hunt is clearly a comprehensive trial that integrates the professional skills of other pirates.

But who doesn't know that the only one who can clear the level in history is the high-level fifth-order legendary pirate king [Whale Hunter]?

As soon as the pirate ship of the non-Captain of the Bay Folk entered, it was immediately confronted with a bitter battle, and no one had the ambition to capture the Great Secret Treasure, but only wanted to save their lives.

One of the most intense naval battles in the atrium is where two large pirate ships with skull flags are chasing each other.

In front, on the bow stood a bow portrait of a girl holding a fiery red rose.

It was a standard 50-gun fourth-class ship, and it was also a "nominal battleship" between a cruiser and a battleship.

It has a displacement of 1000 tons and a capacity of 350 people.

On the two-level through gun deck and the open main deck, a total of eighteen 24-pounder guns, twenty 12-pounder guns, ten nine-pounder guns, and two 6-pounder guns were also installed in the aft building.

Behind it was a three-tier battleship that was noticeably a full circle larger.

At the bow of the ship also stood a female bow statue, with blood-red eyes, a torch in one hand and a dagger in the other, and a crazy and brutal aura came to her face.

It was a large ship with 74 ship-borne guns, totaling 28 32-pounder guns, 30 24-pounder guns, and 16 9-pounder guns.

With a capacity of 680 people and a displacement of 1,500 tons, it is also the main battleship among the current naval battleships of the Hattings Kingdom.

It can be called the most perfect combination of firepower, speed and cost in this era.

Unlike the nominal battleships of the compromise type of the fourth-class ships, the third-class ships are the real weapons of destruction to suppress sea power.

Even if there are first-class and second-class ships on it, it is undoubtedly the most equipped model of battleships, so many that it can be given to Redbeard as a flagship.

This is the [Flame Rose] and [Nemesis] that passed the first level faster than Byron and came to the second atrium.

Obviously, there is no perfect plan in the world, and there is no enemy who only takes a beating and does not fight back.

Something went wrong that wasn't planned.

Redbeard used the special effect of the shipprow to plot ahead of time, causing them to land in the same place when they entered the vast second floor.

A fourth-tier ship was almost ridden in the face by a third-tier ship, the Flying Dragon.

"Fire! Luckily, Redbeard couldn't solve the secret that only the North Sea Pirate King [Whale Hunter] had ever solved in a short period of time.

But I can get rid of the competitors.

The main and secondary guns are free to fire and kill them for me. ”

Redbeard put down the brass binoculars in his hand and gave orders to the first mate behind him.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

In the process of pursuit, the guns on the rear third-class ships that were within the firing range also continued to fire at the Flaming Rose.

However, the Flame Rose was afraid of the internal information provided by Byron, and did not dare to fire back casually until it was sure that it could defeat the other party in one go.

【Shipbow Statue: Nemesis】:

"Effect: Surely the eyes will be rewarded.

1. Hate markers, take the initiative to release markers, there will be an invisible anchor connecting each other, continue to track, and never fall behind.

Each time it is about to get rid of it, it passively increases its speed and pulls the marker back into range of the main gun.

It was with this ability that Redbeard quietly locked on the Flame Rose before the martial arts game began.

2. If the ship is hit by the shelling of the enemy ship, the passive effect will be triggered, and the torch in the hand of the Nemesis will shoot a ray of light to lock her enemy.

The dagger in his hand will glow with cold light, enveloping all the guns on his battleship, giving them a temporary blessing of revenge.

At this time, you will get a 20% projectile correction and a 20% increase in accuracy in disguise. ”

And don't forget that the main gun of the 3rd class ship is a 32-pounder gun, but the main gun of the 4th class ship is only 24-pounder.

One is a heavyweight, the other is a lightweight, and if you play a "slap match" of mutual assault, the one who falls will undoubtedly be the latter.

On the aft deck of the Flaming Rose, Violet hung up the Whale Song.

Although his face was still full of doubts, he still chose to trust Byron's judgment as a professional.

Moreover, what he just said had already admitted his identity in disguise, and Violet couldn't think of any reason why the other party would harm her.

As soon as she made up her mind, she decisively ordered the crew around her:

"We're going to get the upper hand, stall for time, wait for the councilors to come and meet, and then knock him out in one fell swoop."

The helmsman, the sail captain, and the pirate officers were all like her just now, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and subconsciously reminded:

"Captain, it's common sense to have the upper hand in battleship duels, if we go downwind and accidentally fall into the opponent's wake, we will lose our maneuverability."

Violet naturally didn't know why she did this, but as the captain of the ship, she couldn't show her timidity, and asked rhetorically:

"Have you ever fought a battleship?

Do so and do the order! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Dissent is only a knee-jerk reaction, and everyone knows that in wartime, the Ten Commandments of Pirates and the orders of the captain must be carried out without compromise.

Looking at the busy companions in front of her, Violet couldn't help but sigh.

Including herself, this generation of Bay People pirates is indeed a bit lacking.

Her father, the North Sea Pirate King [Whale Hunter], went missing from the sea, taking with him the most elite crew of the baymen.

【Child Guard】Dennis, a third-order berserker, has long since grown old, and his crew naturally retired earlier than him.

In addition, over the years, many of the Bay People pirates on the East Coast and the Barbary pirates on the West Coast have fled the country.

Most of the elite pirates who have the strength and ambition to fight in their prime have switched to the new southern routes.

Most of those who remained on the coast of the Old World, except for the young people who had not yet grown up, were mediocre people.

Not even a single one survived the confrontation with the naval battleship.

Of course, it's a hell of a joke wherever it goes.

Not to mention a pirate ship, even if it is a well-calibrated cruiser, it can survive the battle against the battleship.

Even if this deed is placed in a huge sea power country, it can make people become heroes overnight, and it has been officially written into the great book of maritime history, and even [title] has been added.

"The helmsman, right full rudder, cut downwind.

The length of the sail cable, adjust the windward angle, and the left aft side is windward"

In a chase battle between two battleships from northwest to southeast.

The [Flame Rose], which is equivalent to a fourth-class ship, gradually took the initiative to sail into the downwind direction of the [Nemesis].

However, relying on better maneuverability, it has always remained near the limit range of the opponent's main gun, and has not fallen into the 300-meter wake created by the opponent.

Moreover, when they adjusted from the port side of the opposing side to the starboard side, the originally deafening sound of the 32-pounder main gun came to an abrupt end.

The 24-pounder gun, which had a slightly shorter range, had no effect other than splashing them.

It is clear that the limit of the range has been reached.

This means that the three-stage ships that look majestic and domineering can't beat them?!

"What's going on? Why didn't they open fire? ”

The pirate officers, who had been pessimistic about Violet's order, suddenly widened their eyes, and they all leaned against the bulwark to look at each other.

The navigator, holding a telescope, was the first to solve the mystery:

"Is that the Nemesis closing the main gun door?

I understand! It was because the draft of the battleships above the third level was too deep, and the main gun doors were too close to the water.

In high sea conditions, in order to prevent the battleship from entering the water, the lewward side of the inclined water must close the gun door and keep only the secondary guns.

I see, I see. ”

They're just inexperienced, not stupid.

It immediately became clear how subtle this order to "seize the upper hand" was in the face of the current sea conditions and the current enemy!

The 32-pounder gun on the lowest level of the third class ship is located in the middle of the hull, and the lower frame of the gun door is only about 1.2 meters above the sea surface.

It's not that the Nemesis doesn't want to attack, it's that it can't.

And when the two sides fell into an awkward stalemate.

The coffins of the ships cruising nearby were also dotted behind the [Nemesis] like sharks that smelled blood.

The longer the time drags on, the more coffins will be gathered, and the less pressure will be on the Flame Rose.

"Captain, be wise!"

"I thought there was no one in this world who was born to know.

Unexpectedly, the captain, who had never even fought a few naval battles, would be able to penetrate the mystery at a glance and find the weakness of the opponent.

God, so god! ”

"Perhaps the gods' prophecy of revival is about to come to the captain."

"Captain, please teach us."

“”

Gradually, the more the crew spoke, the more exaggerated they became, causing Violet's cheeks to flush slightly.

But there are also a few things that are fluttering after being recognized by others, and the eyebrows and eyes are smug.

"While the credit is mainly for the good citizens, Captain Ben also has credit.

Yes, the greatest credit is to listen to persuasion!

Anyway, why don't you bring him to the Flame Rose as the first mate after this time? ”
