"The Albatross is at war?" Sothea's eyes suddenly turned cold when she heard this.

Like the Southern Sky Star, the Albatross is a large sailing ship that has been famous for a long time. Not only that, but the captain is also a woman. In this maritime world, women are relatively weak, and it is not easy to be the length of a boat, so they naturally support each other.

The relationship between Sothea and the captain of the Albatross can be described as sisters, and now that she is being attacked, with her personality, how can she sit idly by?

The red-haired female captain immediately gave the order, immediately turned the bow of the ship and moved closer to the Albatross.

"Mr. Fiai, it looks like a fierce battle is about to take place, and I ask you and your companions to stay safe. Sothea said solemnly to Midi and the others.

Midi didn't move, still just nodded faintly.

Although they spent a lot of money to take the Nantian Star, Midi and the others could only be regarded as passengers, but they were not qualified to give orders to the captain's actions, which has always been a rule in the South China Sea. If it is really a ship that obeys orders, it is better to use the warships of the Hamilton family directly, and this time since he has to start from scratch incognito, Midi naturally has to do it thoroughly.

Besides, the current battle can only be regarded as a small fight for him now.

Before that, Midi might have to weigh up and calculate how far he and a few companions could control the situation in the worst-case scenario. Will this battle slow down the journey, and then affect the strategic layout of Belmarr.

But now, with the fusion of the extreme intent and the ghosts and gods in his body, the golden little sword has just come into being, and it can be said that under an awakening, even if it is a level 6 capper, it is nothing in his opinion, so he doesn't care at all, whether the Nantian Star wants to participate in the battle or not.

On the contrary, since Midi did not know much about naval warfare in his previous life, and had never commanded large naval battles, he was interested in seeing for himself how these large galleons with artillery could fight.

After all, if you want to master the West Coast, you will definitely not be able to bypass the level of naval warfare.

This is the difference in mentality brought about by different strengths and different realms.

Whether you are strong or conspiratorial, I only need to cut it with one sword

Therefore, in response to Sothia's reminder, Midi only casually responded, but did not evade it, and still stood firmly in the bow of the ship in a position with a wide view, as if what was coming was not a bloody naval battle, but a wonderful drama.

Seeing this, the first mate next to the red-haired female captain immediately thought that this young man was ignorant, or that he didn't take his captain seriously, and his brows suddenly wrinkled.

Many experienced sailors also exchanged glances with each other and laughed.

In their opinion, although this noble and young man behaved decently, he obviously knew nothing about fighting, and the long sword at his waist seemed to be an ornament, and he probably had never even seen blood. When the battle really starts, under the roaring artillery fire, it must be frightened. Therefore, they don't remind them, they just wait to see a good show

Seeing this, Sothea also had something in her eyes, but then she was relieved.

She originally wanted to test Midi, but now in this situation, if she really fights for a while, she should naturally be able to see the other party's various methods.

Therefore, the red-haired female captain did not mind either, but immediately turned her attention to the direction of three o'clock, where the Albatross was located.

The sea breeze rose fiercely, with a faint smell of gunpowder.

Then, the rumbling sound of cannons was also constantly transmitted along with the sound of the wind.

Soon, on the distant horizon, a few black dots quickly grew in size, turning into patches of white swollen sails.

There are a total of four ships that come into view, and the first one is the same as the Nantian Star, which is a three-masted full-beam sailing ship, which is obviously the Albatross. They were followed by two three-masted schooners and a five-masted galleon with three floors.

The two schooners are nimble and lightweight, and thanks to the schooners, they can make the most of the sea breeze wherever they come from, and the speed is faster than that of ordinary sails. The two schooners flanked from the left and right flanks like hounds, and soon caught up with the Albatross, which were then pinned down by the cannons on both sides of the ship

Although the tonnage of the schooner is not large, and it can carry not many shells, it is impossible to guard against this kind of attack that is specially sniped from time to time.

The speed of the Albatross gradually slowed down as a result.

At this moment, the five-masted galleon behind had already approached it, only to see the gun doors under its bow open, and a total of three gun doors and nine serial guns were aimed at the stern building of the Albatross.

Boom, boom, boom

There was a deafening roar, a series of cannon muzzles erupted with dazzling light, and the next moment, the entire hull of the Albatross shook, and the stern of the ship was completely shattered, and the sawdust was scattered in the sky like falling snowflakes, and the flames gradually rose from the ruins.

Not only that, but the aft auxiliary mast of the Albatross was also severely damaged in this shelling, and it was crumbling, and the sails hanging on it fell and smashed on the deck, killing several crew members who could not escape on the spot.

With just one salvo, the albatross's speed dropped dramatically.

Fortunately, the galleon did not seem to have any intention of sinking the Albatross, so it failed to fire after a salvo. And the two schooners pressed on again, and this time, apparently, there was an intention to connect the strings.

Once connected, the crew can be sent directly to the other party's ship, and in the case of similar ranks, as long as there are enough people, they can directly control the ship.

Apparently, they wanted to capture the Albatross.

But at this time, the Nantian Star had already cut into this battlefield.

Since the ships of both sides face each other head-on, rather than rear-end, they are extremely fast. The schooner didn't have time to react, and the Nantian Star was already on its side.

I only heard Sothea's order, and the cannon doors on the side facing the enemy were all opened in an instant, and dozens of large-caliber heavy cannons lit up from the battlements of the black hole. The next moment, a series of loud noises like rolling thunder shook the air, and scorching firelight gushed out, carrying the smell of death and gunsmoke. And at this moment, the originally slender hull of the schooner was immediately beaten to the point of sawdust, and almost a third of it collapsed.

Nice raid

The Nantian Star struck a thunderous blow, and Midi was also a dazzle.

This blow is quite in the style of Blitz that Midi loves on the battlefield, taking full advantage of the speed brought by the environment, and killing in one hit, similar to the situation where Midi led the Nightblade Leopard Cavalry to raid.

It's just that Midi, who is good at blitzkrieg, knows very well that a thunderous blow is meaningless if it can't hit the vital point.

And now the Nantian Star is just a relief from the siege of the Albatross, and it is still far from victory.

If you want to win this battle, you can't get around that big guy.

Thinking of this, Midi's gaze fell on the five-masted galleon.

Even someone like Midi who was new to naval warfare knew this, let alone Sothea.

After crushing the schooner on the left side of the ship, instead of slowing down, the Nantian Star accelerated and continued to rush forward, and the next moment, it had already staggered shoulder-to-shoulder with the five-masted galleon, and this galleon happened to be on the right side of the Nantian Star

It takes time to reload the sailing cannon, but the cannon on the starboard side has not yet fired, and it is clear that this is the moment that awaits it.

"Concentrate all the guns in the middle, open fire," the slightly hoarse command of the red-haired female captain echoed throughout the deck.

As soon as she finished speaking, the experienced gunners were instantly ready, and the next moment, the starboard cannon let out another earth-shattering roar, dozens of cannonballs whizzing through the air, and then all of them shot at the same position below the waterline of the five-masted galleon

"Became" in Sothea's beautiful eyes, and the brilliance flowed.

She knew that this five-masted galleon was so strong that if it was an ordinary salvo, it would not do much damage at all, and that only by concentrating all the fire on one side of the ship could it do enough damage. Now, he has seized the opportunity to attack the galleon's sidestring gun door before it is opened, and it is below the waterline, and this time the fire is set, even if it is a galleon, it will definitely be half crippled

However, in the next moment, the sound of gold and iron colliding made everyone's eardrums tingle.

Even Midi, who was extremely interested in circulating in his body, frowned slightly.

The red-haired female captain with bamboo on her chest turned pale.

The reason why there was such a sound eruption was because the shells of the Nantian Star all hit the iron armor.

This five-masted galleon turned out to be an ironclad ship

The ironclad ship is extremely heavy, if it is driven by sails alone, let alone five masts, even ten masts can only be climbed by turtles, and it cannot be used for real naval battles at all, at most it can only be used to defend the port. The ironclad ship in front of him is free to move, although it is not as good as a three-masted sailing ship, its speed is even higher than that of an ordinary five-masted sailing ship.

This means that this is a magic-powered battleship

In the South China Sea, which powerful force can build such a warship?

Sothea's heart was turbulent, but it was too late to think about it. Because at this moment, the sidestring gun doors of the ironclad ship have also been opened.

The ironclad ship had two upper and lower floors on one side of the ship, with fifteen gun emplacements on each floor, for a total of thirty. Each gun position is also a triple set of chain guns, a total of ninety cannons, densely connected together, just looking at it, it makes people feel shocked.

Fortunately, the two boats were traveling in opposite directions, and the relative speed was extremely fast. Without waiting for the opponent's cannon door to be fully opened, the Nantian Star had already accelerated forward, leaving it behind in an instant.

But at this moment, a black bright light broke through the sky and hit the deck of the Nantian Star with incomparable accuracy

It wasn't a cannon, but a giant crossbow that could be rotated 360 degrees on the deck of an ironclad ship. Obviously, in order to avoid scaring away the Nantian Star, the ironclad ship did not open the gun door, but the giant crossbow on the deck had already been calibrated, and at this moment, the nail gun with powerful magic power shot out at an unparalleled speed, and it hit with one blow, like a barb, directly inserted into the hull of the Nantian Star.

As a result, nailed to death by this barb, the Nantian Star lost its speed and agility, and could not run away at all.

The next moment, the second, third, and fourth giant crossbows were slowly pushed onto the deck of the ironclad ship, and the nail spears that flashed with cold light were aimed at the Nantian Star with a handle, like an arrow of death aimed at the prey

A good ironclad ship with both offense and defense, and no firepower dead ends

Midi's eyes lit up again.
