Chapter 175: Picking Up the Leakage of the Third Order, the Technique of Drawing Cannons
The range of mist released by [Level 2 Strange Object: Mist Cloak] is too large, and its main function is to block long-distance detection.
Visibility at close range isn't too bad.
In just an instant, the high-morale Combined Fleet and the arrogant Barbary pirates saw each other clearly.
"Quack, misunderstanding. We were just passing through. โ
Like a big toad, Jerome saw that the situation was not good, and just wanted to retract what he had just said.
The flagship he was on, the Frog Warrior, was on the open deck of a fifth-class ship.
A gunner was stunned by the terrifying combined fleet in front of him, but the flintlock in his hand followed his instinct at the beginning, and subconsciously fell on the medicine pool of the 12-pounder gun in front of him.
Bang!
The orange-red cannon flame suddenly illuminated the fog on the sea.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, a solid cannonball cut an arc from the sky and smashed right down on the fourth-rank ship [Support] of Rear Admiral Newman at the front.
"Ahโโ!h
Although it was only a 12-pound solid bullet, it still easily destroyed a wooden gun carriage on the open deck of the fourth-tier ship.
It bounced and reaped the lives of several naval soldiers, and finally smashed into the sea from the other side, splashing a white splash.
This is not a matter of the gunner's own initiative, but a standard action that all pirates do when raiding.
The purpose of firing artillery shells is not to kill people, but only to deter the "fat sheep" who are about to plunder, so that they will surrender without a fight.
It's just that if the opponent is not a fat sheep, but a group of hungry wolves, then this cannon is a naked signal to start a war.
In particular, Major General Newman's face turned green in an instant:
"Barbary pirates? Why did the men of the Ocean Throne suddenly run out to attack us? It's so rampant! โ
The others haven't reacted to what this is all about.
"Enemy Attack โโ!"
Byron, who participated in the whole process of the enemy's plan of action, was prepared, and shouted at the privateer fleet under his command:
"The fleet is on fire, the target is directly in front of the pirate ship, fire!"
The gunners had long formed a conditioned reflex to his orders, never asking who the opponent was, only where he was.
Not to mention that it was just a group of pirates, even if it was the ship of its own king, Edward IV, who hesitated for a second to be sorry for their deposits in the Vanguard Bank.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Sixteen pirate ships roared together with hundreds of guns on one side of the ship, and the flames of the guns completely lit up the sea.
Hundreds of cannonballs pierced the sky with a piercing roar and smashed into the Barbary pirate fleet led by the Frog Warrior.
In an instant, a bloody storm was set off, and the stumps and arms were broken.
Byron snapped his fingers, and the [Golden Law] in the air quietly flashed, and within the scope of his royal domain, all communications inside and outside were closed.
No one will be able to know, at least for a short time, what's going on here.
At the same time, he did not forget to shout to the fleets of other countries around him:
"Guys, these filthy Barbary pirates are going to rob us of the international port that we have built with great difficulty, and fight with them!"
I don't know how many people in this fleet have their lives firmly tied to the port of Georgetown.
I don't know how many ordinary sailors, who are relatively not so rich, bought the International Port Infrastructure Bonds issued by the Governor's Office.
If a high-level [prophet] turns on the spiritual vision, he may be able to vaguely see that countless huge golden anchor chains composed of interests in the sky above the United Fleet are rigidly anchored in Georgetown Harbor.
In some particular cases, they are undoubtedly a community of interests!
Hearing Byron's voice, the major forces immediately reacted.
"Drop the dragon dung potion and force those sea monsters out of the sea."
"Give me the freedom to fire!
Before we can rob the Castiles, they are going to rob us? One by one, they all came to bully us poor people and beat them to death! โ
Neither the so-called international port, nor the combined fleet was ever a whole.
There is no such person with sufficient prestige who can serve as the commander-in-chief of the fleet, and the followers are like clouds.
Even they themselves are full of internal contradictions, and it is impossible to easily obey the commands of others.
It's just that in the face of the huge interests of Yucatan, the major forces have taken the lead in signing a non-aggression pact in the international port.
For them, someone is going to slaughter the governor? That's fine.
Robbery of ports? Absolutely not!
Perhaps in the eyes of Governor Velรกzquez of Havana or [Blue-haired] Barbarossa Helding, they were just a rabble.
If you start a war with a fleet of the same size, you will definitely lose a lot.
But when facing a pirate fleet with only three third-order and a group of sea monster helpers, there is no need for any tactics at all, and they can be killed with cannonballs with their eyes closed.
Thundered
All of a sudden, the three hundred warships were under fire, and the sea in front of them seemed to have been repelled by half a step in this salvo.
The pirate fleet, bathed in a rain of shells, was crushed in an instant.
"Ahhh
"Help!"
The hull was pierced, and the cannonballs bounced mercilessly, crushing from one side of the ship to the other, tearing everything that stood in its way to shreds.
The moving and static cables that bound the mast were broken, and the heavy sail boom fell with a bang, killing an unknown number of pirates.
One by one, the masts were destroyed, and their maneuverability was greatly reduced, and they were tragically reduced to live targets
This body of water was instantly filled with a thick bloody atmosphere.
The man-eating sharks that followed behind the [Golden Deer] couldn't help but become agitated, but they were afraid of the yellow-green filth that spread from the entire fleet, so they had to stay away.
Jerome, who had abandoned his human form and completely turned into a frog, got up from the deck in disgrace while the opposite side was reloading ammunition.
"That's not right! This battle, these people, and the intelligence are completely wrong!
Shouldn't the port of Georgetown be captured as soon as it sees the [Throne of the Ocean] pirate flag?
And where did this combined fleet flying the flags of various countries come from?
Regular navy of the Hattings, Iris, Netherlands, Rhine League, Remet
Why can these forces, which are often contradictory themselves, suddenly unite? Still here to ambush us with open pockets in advance? โ
Turning his head to look at the deck, it was miserable.
He, the frog warrior, relied on the keen senses of the frog spirit to dodge the whistling cannonballs again and again, and escaped with his life.
The crew under his command has no such ability.
Just a saturation attack of a few thousand shells left a river of blood on the deck, and most of the gun emplacements were not even able to get together the five-man gun crew to launch a counterattack.
And they are only three third-order transcendents, and there is no difference between them and those who have or do in such a large corps battle.
What's even worse is that the crescent moon array that has been waiting for the net has already closed from both sides.
The dragon dung potion continued to be dropped, and in this shallow sea position close to the island, it was enough to pollute the bottom of the water, so that the sea monster could not escape from underwater.
One round! Two rounds! Three!
More than half an hour passed.
Even those rough-skinned and thick-skinned sea monsters wailed and spilled blood on the sea one by one, and in this extremely sinister encirclement, they did not play any value at all.
Suppressing people with force, there is no suspense in the process of fighting.
Byron's multi-day planning, and the sacrifice made by Bruch "to endure humiliation", have finally been richly rewarded at this moment.
'Even if the Ocean Throne comes back in the future, he will not be able to find my head.
Although the Taiman Islands are mine, I don't know who killed your men, and the murderer is definitely not 'me' anyway! โ
Thinking so, I suddenly heard someone in the red-eyed fleet shouting:
"Pick up the broadboard, jump the gang to grab the boat, surround on all sides, close the door and beat the dog!"
"Those pirate ships, as well as the contract conch in their hands that can command the sea monsters, are worth a lot of money, don't let one go."
The Combined Fleet had already closed up to the point where it was possible to accidentally injure any more cannons, and immediately accelerated and screamed towards the pirate ship.
"We are the Iris Navy, hurry up and hand over all the gold, silver, jewelry, and spice sea monsters."
"Don't waste our time, disarm and surrender!"
โโ
Even the words that came out of their mouths were all familiar.
People who travel thousands of miles overseas to make a fortune, regardless of race, nationality, or occupation, are not very different in nature.
There is absolutely not a single herbivore to be found.
When the strength is reversed, the robbery and the robbery are also reversed.
For a while, it was a little difficult to distinguish who was the famous pirate and who was the well-dressed elite gentleman of all countries.
However, with a full 10 to 1 ratio of battleships, a typical wolf has more meat and less meat.
Many forces, especially the leaders, rushed forward in order to grab the spoils of war.
Even the [Golden Deer], which will dominate the sea with speed, has been left behind.
The original crescent moon formation was also completely scattered and collapsed.
Just when the vanguard of the merit was mixed with the pirate ship and was about to complete the portion.
Toot โโ!
A low horn suddenly resounded throughout the battlefield.
In fact, even though the Barbary pirates were beaten on the spot, they still had one last hole card at this point.
At the beginning of the war, he created a miniature blue hole to protect himself, and the [Large Species: Fiddler Crab], which had been hiding at the bottom of the sea and did not come out, was once again powerful.
Bang la blah
The tide was rolling and bounded by two kilometers, enveloping the pirate fleet and some of the vanguard forces already entangled with them.
Jerome, who was covered in blood and didn't know how many stray bullets he had hit, stared viciously at every coalition ship in front of him, and his voice was as poignant as a lone wolf:
"Quack! After a full hour, the cooldown time for the deep sea jump has finally arrived, come with me to Campeche Bay and atone for your ignorance and hubris! โ
Only those who have obtained the contract conch know the restrictions on the use of "Deep Sea Jump":
"The maximum range of a single blue hole is two kilometers, and the maximum accurate teleportation distance is 1,500 kilometers (multiple fiddler crabs can be stacked, and at the beginning, two crabs make the large army instantly kill from the easternmost to the westernmost part of the Bantaan Islands).
It can be used three times a day with no less than one hour between uses.
If the fiddler crab is accompanied by it, it is a two-way trip, and you can go or return; If the crab does not accompany it, it is a one-way trip, only going and not returning. โ
Seeing this scene that resembled the appearance of this pirate fleet just now, the others realized the role of this large sea monster.
Rear Admiral Newman, who was originally relying on the strong combat power of the fourth-class ship, rushed to the front at the beginning, and wanted to harvest a sea monster, suddenly changed his face.
"It's not good, let's get out quickly!"
The other forces of all parties who are eager for quick success are also all as pale as dirt, and they hurriedly turn the rudder, but where is the time?
"Quack, it's too late, no one can run within two kilometers.
Your Excellency will punish you! โ
Just when [Frogman] held the conch in his hand, he was extremely glad that he had finally survived the skill cooldown.
"Why do you engrave your name on my conch? Eat me to draw a sword! โ
An unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded behind him.
The back exploded, and he turned his head instantly.
[Frogman] has been promoted all the way to the third order, and he has long been accustomed to seeing deceit on the sea.
It doesn't matter what a person shouts before making a move.
Because what they have in their hands is most likely different from what he shouted.
But when people shout "eat me a sword", the most they do is dirty things like lime powder, muskets, crossbows, and voodoo potions.
He was also confident that he could easily dodge it.
But when he turned around.
When he saw that the three doors in front of him were obviously seven steps away, but the sense of oppression was clearly like a behemoth that had already hit his face, he still couldn't help but burst out foul language:
"Quack? This *** is a sword?!!! โ
Dirty, too dirty.
The methods of coming are dirty, and the frogmen are even dirtier.
