Hunting a vessel that is marked and wanted by the Poseidon will not increase the wanted level, and once the hunt is successful, you can also get additional Soul Energy Boost rewards from the Poseidon.

After successfully destroying the armor of another ship, the victor has two options: one is to continue to sink the opponent with artillery fire, and after sinking the opponent, the captain of the opponent escapes or dies, and the ship and all the equipment and cargo on the ship will be destroyed together, and the victor will get nothing.

Generally, only when dealing with a life-and-death enemy and wanting to put the other party to death, will they choose to end the other party in this way.

Another option is that under the supervision of the omnipotent Poseidon, the defeated side uses its soul to communicate with Poseidon and proposes to sign a peace contract with the victorious side, after the victorious side receives a notice from Poseidon to agree to the defeated party's peace contract, all the goods and equipment on the defeated side's ship will be automatically transferred to the victorious ship, and then the defeated side's ship will be forced to lower by Poseidon by one order, and the ship will be automatically teleported back to the main island dock by Poseidon.

Therefore, although there is a risk of being wanted by Poseidon if you take the initiative to attack other ships at sea, once you win, the harvest is still very rich. In the vast seas, it is common for the captain to take the initiative to attack another ship in order to upgrade the equipment and cargo of the opponent's ship, or to obtain the upgrade of the soul ship for the victory of the battle. Under normal circumstances, for the sake of safety, when sailing on the sea, you must be very cautious when you observe a ship that is not a ship approaching in your field of vision.

After Lin Zhou left the main island for some distance and confirmed the direction of Crab Claw Island, he raised his full sail and urged his soul power. Let the boat sail at a second speed in the direction of Crab Claw Island.

There are three levels of sailing speed in the sea, the first level is the navigation with the help of the wind alone, the second level is the combination of the wind power and the captain and the soul power of the machine, and the third level is the wind plus the full force of the captain and the soul of the machine.

The speed of the third level is naturally the fastest, but it can't last, and the captain and the weapon only take the first speed after the soul power consumption is too large, and it is generally only used in naval battles when it is used to quickly approach the enemy ship or escape, and under normal circumstances, the captain will only sail at the second speed in the way of urging part of the soul power. In this way, the soul power consumption is not large, and it can be replenished between breaths.

The GWENT Ship will have some low-level armed ships patrolling and blocking the waters around Huludao in order to further force the new captains on Huludao to join their ship. Enslaved by them. On the other hand, it is also to exercise the actual combat ability of these low-level ships, so that they can advance and upgrade as soon as possible.

......

Blue sea and blue sky. The sea rises and falls in the sunlight. The farther away from Huludao. The waves are undulating and undulating, but these three or four meters high waves are not enough to pose much of a threat to Shenzhou.

Lin Zhou, who was standing on the bow of the ship and controlling the entire ship with his mind, was also excited, and this was after he came to this life. The first time I sailed into the sea, it was a completely different kind of excitement and excitement than the martial arts on land.

At this moment his soul belongs to the sea, his blood flows in the stormy waves of the sea, and his immortal faith is always in front of the bow of the ship, inspiring him to move forward, fight and conquer.

As he passed near a small island, Lin Zhou instinctively made a detour into the distance, not sure if there was a vessel full of malice towards him hidden behind the island he couldn't see. Otherwise, it is very likely that just as the field of vision could see behind the island, suddenly one or several ships rushed out and made a violent impact or shelling at his hull.

This fighting instinct does not seem to come from himself, but from his communication with the Vessel Spirit, knowing that the Shenzhou is not an ordinary new ship.

Lin Zhou's Shenzhou had just rounded the island, and there was really a ship behind the island, and Lin Zhou saw the black flag he was already familiar with when he was on the shore, with the logo of the Quint family painted on it.

Needless to say, this ship belongs to the Quint Ship Club.

The machine ship seen in the telescope, there were sixteen gunwales on both sides of the ship, and the corners of Lin Zhou's mouth were slightly upturned, is this someone going to send guns to the door?

In addition to this, the ship's hull was slightly reddened by the telescope, which was a sign that it was wanted by Poseidon. It appears that the armed ship had already succeeded in plundering other passing ships before, and had become 'red' as a result.

Looking through the binoculars, you can clearly see that the hull of this ship carries several large characters engraved on the Martin, and then, it is already a third-order vessel ship of the pool class! It is two orders higher than Lin Zhou's first-order Shenzhou.

After discovering the trace of the Shenzhou, the third-order Martin ship of the pool class quickly rushed towards the Shenzhou, and at the same time that Lin Zhou observed the Martin with a telescope, Martin, the owner of the Martin, also saw everything on Lin Zhou's Shenzhou with a telescope.

Obviously, the Shenzhou was only a first-order ship, not armed with gunwales, and only had a ramming angle installed in the bow! The owner of the Martin did not know that the ramming angle on the Shenzhou was elite-class. Now, in the eyes of the Martin, the Shenzhou with only one ramming angle is equivalent to being unarmed, as long as he passes a few shots from afar, he can break the armor of the Shenzhou, get the opportunity to improve the soul energy, and plunder the opponent's armament and cargo.

The owner of the Martin belongs to the Quint family, and all the funds coordinated by the ship will be used to equip the side guns, because he has been promoted two ranks before, so he has received the blessing of the sea god twice. Martin also used these two blessings of the sea god to strengthen the attack power of the gunwales.

After successfully hunting and killing the other three ships, the Martin looted a common-class bow ramming angle and several ordinary-class broadside guns installed on its own ship, so that his broadside guns reached the full value of sixteen, plus the ramming angles it had, the attack power of the Martin ship is still very strong.

If Lin Zhou's Shenzhou escapes, the Martin will chase after it. Even if you can't catch up, you can expel the Shenzhou to the attack range of other Kunt Ship Club's ships hidden in the sea. In this way, the Martin can also strangle the Shenzhou, but at that time, the improved soul energy and the equipment and cargo looted will have to be distributed according to the contribution of the ships of the same ship.

For the Martin. The best result was to hunt the Shenzhou alone, so he didn't notify the other ships of the same ship to come over now. Of course, against a first-order ship that had just been launched to sea, the third-order and heavily armed Martin would not need the help of other ships at all to take out the opponent.

After Lin Zhou found out that the Martin was chasing after him, he didn't choose to let the Shenzhou escape, with his speed increasing twice now, if he chose to escape, the Martin might not be able to catch up with him. But Lin Zhou's purpose was to use the cannons on the opponent's ship, and the Martin wanted to hunt the Shenzhou, but what the captain of the Martin didn't expect was that the Shenzhou wanted to counter-hunt him.

A third-order vessel that has been blessed twice by the god of the sea. If the enhancements of the Poseidon's blessing are all used to increase the attack power. Then its attack power will be about twenty percent stronger than that of normal first-order ships, which is a big threat to other ships.

When the Martin chased after it, the Shenzhou did not run away as the captain of the Martin imagined, but turned the bow of the ship and rushed towards the Martin. Not a lot of effort. The Shenzhou entered the attack range of the Martin's broadside guns.

"Good fellow, this is a newborn calf, not afraid of tigers, I think you're a little fat sheep, right?" said the captain of the Martin. Looks like I'm going to eat a little fat sheep in one bite. And it's a solitary meal.

"Bang, bang, bang!" "Bang, bang!" Several rapid succession of cannon sounds, four of the eight long guns on the side of the Martin's hull spat out fury and fired four shells at the Shenzhou.

The broadside guns were divided into long and short guns. The long guns were mounted on the deck, the short guns were mounted in the lower cabins, the long guns were used for long-range shelling, and the short guns were used for heavy artillery bombardment during close combat between the two ships. The long cannon has a long range and has less attack power, and the short cannon has a short range, but the attack power is much more powerful than the long cannon, and it is easier to hit the critical hit effect than the long cannon.

Once a critical hit is fired, the armor of the opponent's ship will become unstable for a period of time, and some parts will flash a weak point with a red glow. If the attacking ship is equipped with a whirlwind cannon, you can use the whirlwind cannon to deal additional damage to the opponent's ship's armor, or even double the damage.

Unstable armor inflicted by critical hits will quickly regain stability, and these red weaknesses will not last long. Therefore, once a critical hit is hit, after the opponent's ship's armor flashes a weak point, you must use the whirling cannon to attack as soon as possible.

This is the experience that the machine spirit told Lin Zhou, but now there is no whirlwind cannon for sale in the Poseidon dock, and if Lin Zhou wants to install a whirlwind gun on the Shenzhou, there are only two ways at present. One is to go to the unknown sea to eliminate the native pirates and loot them from their ships, and the other is to find the blueprints of the whirling cannon from the ruins of the ancient battlefield, and collect all the necessary materials according to the drawings and go to the dock to refine them.

Blueprints have magical properties, and they are also one of the raw materials for refining various ship equipment, and they disappear after the sacrifice is completed. A blueprint can only be used to refine one piece of equipment, and if you want to refine the same equipment again, you must find a new blueprint.

The Shenzhou machine spirit is far more powerful than Lin Zhou imagined, it has long predicted the time of the Martin's shelling, and now the distance between the two ships is quite far, so the Shenzhou has already done a good evasion action in advance at the moment when the Martin opened fire, and the whole ship turned rapidly sideways with the help of the soul power drive and an oncoming wave, and easily dodged the four shells fired by the Martin.

Predicting the timing and using the ups and downs of the waves, Lin Zhou was reminded to launch his soul power to turn sharply...... The perfect combination is a tactical evasion maneuver, and all this done by the Shenzhou is like a textbook standard. This is the art of ship manipulation, the memory that has been engraved in the soul of the machine spirit, and it is impossible to be so proficient without thousands of years of experience in naval warfare.

These experiences, when the machine spirit was instilled into Lin Zhou's mind, also subtly became Lin Zhou's memories and experiences.

Although the first round of shells all failed, Martin's subjective attack on the Shenzhou has been judged by Poseidon, plus the Martin already has a wanted level, and if the current Shenzhou retaliates against the Martin, even if it kills the opponent, it will not increase the wanted level at sea, but will get the reward of Poseidon's extra soul energy increase for hunting pirates.

After dodging the Martin's first shelling, he used his binoculars to make sure there were no other Quint ships on the surrounding sea. Lin Zhou steered the Shenzhou to turn the bow of the ship again, and rushed straight towards the hull of the Martin.

The current Lin Zhou is not proficient in controlling the entire ship, but with the help of the machine spirit, he is quickly adapting to all this, and the experience of the machine spirit has been studied into his memory, he knows that he must be familiar with and lead all this as soon as possible, otherwise the powerful Shenzhou will not surrender to him so easily.

The Shenzhou is currently only equipped with ramming angles, so the tactic that Lin Zhou can use must be a close collision. And the Martin had both side guns and ramming angles. In its current state. The attack power of the side guns is much greater than the attack power of the ramming angle, so the tactic used by the Martin now is to keep a distance from the Shenzhou as much as possible, and then shell the opponent from a long distance.

With a missed blow, the Martin twisted its rudder and sailed into the distance to open up the distance between it and the Shenzhou. While loading the ship's broadside guns with shells. Preparations were made for a second round of shelling of the Shenzhou.

At the time of a specific naval battle. Wind alone is not enough to complete various tactical actions, at this time, in order to complete various tactics, the captain of the vessel ship must vigorously urge the soul power in his body to control the vessel ship. Captain Martin though is a condensate realm. The soul power is much stronger than that of Lin Zhou, but the spirit of the Martin ship is much weaker than that of the Shenzhou, and the two are combined with the spirit of the soul, and the Martin is still far inferior to the Shenzhou.

The confrontation between the ships is not only the armament of the ships, but also the competition between the captains and soul forces of the two sides. The test of soul power on ocean voyages is endurance, while the test of soul power by various tactical actions in naval warfare is mostly in terms of explosive power.

The Martin is strong in attack power, and has not strengthened the speed, the speed of the Shenzhou has been strengthened by two levels, coupled with the full drive of soul power, so the instantaneous speed of the Shenzhou is much higher than that of the Martin, and in the case of chasing and escaping, the distance between the two ships has been shortened little by little.

When the side gun shells were reloaded, the Martin did not continue to run, but turned the bow of the ship to face the Shenzhou laterally, and launched an artillery bombardment on the Shenzhou again!

"Bang! bang, bang!"

Just like just now, four more shells erupted from the muzzles of the four long guns on the side guns of the Martin, and fired at the Shenzhou, which was rapidly approaching the Martin.

Lin Zhou now has a certain amount of experience, and he has already predicted the shelling of the Martin, he did not let the machine spirit control the Shenzhou again, but tried to dodge it himself. On the one hand, it is necessary to take into account the speed at which the captain of the opposing ship loads the shells, and on the other hand, if the Martin wants to attack the Shenzhou, it must first turn the hull of the ship so that the side side of the Martin faces the Shenzhou.

Under Lin Zhou's control, the Shenzhou dodged sideways in a beautiful advance, easily dodging the second round of shelling of the Martin, and at the same time, the distance between the two ships was once again shortened!

"You're doing a great job! You're making great progress! You're very talented!" the machine spirit was obviously very satisfied with Lin Zhou's learning ability.

Lin Zhou didn't squeak, every cell in his body was excited now, and he was engrossed in the battle behind. The feeling of maneuvering a ship in a naval battle is completely different from the martial arts between warriors on land, and it is extremely fresh and exciting.

Both rounds of shelling failed, and not even a single shell landed on the hull of the Shenzhou, which made the captain of the Martin a little discouraged. The feeling that gave him was ...... The other party seemed to know when he would fire, and whenever he fired the cannon, he moved sideways in advance, away from the direction of his cannonball, so that his cannonball was always a little off the way and could not hit the other party.

Captain Martin had calculated that under normal circumstances, a tank-class first-order ship, if it had not been strengthened with armor, would almost break through after two rounds of shelling at most under the attack of his current broadside artillery fire. After discovering that the Shenzhou was a Chi-class first-order vessel with no gunlong armament and only a bow ramming angle, the Martin was very confident that it would dump two rounds of artillery fire on the opponent before the opponent approached and crashed into his hull.

But what he never expected was that the other party's strange evasive actions made his first two rounds of shelling fail, which was a big blow to the confidence of the captain of the Martin, and even a result that he did not consider before the battle, which made him have to rethink the next battle plan in a short time.

The Martin didn't think about the escape. The third-order Martin was chased by a first-order ship and fled everywhere, and was heard by the captains of the same ship, and there was no way to see people with this face in the future.

In close combat, the opponent's ramming angle will be a threat, but the opponent's lack of ship guns is a big disadvantage. However, the Martin can launch a heavy artillery bombardment at close range and inflict heavy damage on the opponent, and when the time comes, it will depend on whether the opponent's collision angle will first hit the soul armor of his hull, or his heavy artillery will blast the soul armor of the opponent's hull first.

It's unlikely that the other party will have a very strong collision angle, ......right? Theoretically speaking, it is much more likely that the Martin will bombard the armor of the Shenzhou with heavy artillery first, accounting for at least more than 95 percent.

Although the firing range of the short cannon is very short, as long as the opponent dares to enter the range of his short cannon, he will not want to make the same evasive action as before! You must know that once the short cannon is discharged, it will go straight to the gun, and the moment the cannon is fired, the shells will reach the hull of the opponent almost at the same time, and it is almost impossible for the opponent to dodge it.

The captain of the Martin quickly made the decision to sail around the Shenzhou, always keeping one side facing the Shenzhou, and as soon as the Shenzhou came within short cannon range, he would immediately launch a heavy artillery bombardment. Isn't the Shenzhou very good at dodging? When the distance between the two ships is close to a certain extent, the heavy artillery salvo will see how you can dodge!

Even if the heavy artillery bombards the bow of the Shenzhou, the damage minus sixty percent is enough to cause a lot of damage to the armor of the Shenzhou. You must know that the small vessel of the first order of the Dao has not been blessed by the sea god, and the ship armor is very fragile and vulnerable.

At first glance, the Shenzhou did not join any ship club, and it is conceivable that it will not be able to receive additional financial support like the Martin, so the true strength of the Shenzhou can be easily judged.

The Shenzhou had easily dodged the two rounds of shelling from the Martin, and it must have been by luck! The captain of the Martin thought very firmly.

The choice of the captain of the Martin is exactly what Lin Zhou wants. This is because, when attacking another ship, the bow of the ship will attack the side of the ship at a vertical angle, which will maximize the armor-piercing effect of the attack.

Martin didn't know that the collision angle equipped on the bow of the Shenzhou was elite-level, and the Shenzhou was only a first-order vessel of the pool class, so the captain of the Martin believed that the soul armor of the Martin's hull could withstand at least two impacts from the Shenzhou's bow collision angle, and after the Shenzhou successfully hit the Martin once, if it wanted to hit him again, it had to go through many complicated processes such as turning around, returning to sail, opening the distance, and adjusting the bow.

Then, the Shenzhou must hit the Martin three times to complete the armor breaking, and in the process, the Martin is enough to find seven or eight opportunities to carry out a direct bombardment of the Shenzhou with close heavy artillery. When the two ships are close enough, even the stupidest captain can kill the Shenzhou into slag with a random shot of the long and short cannons on the side of the ship!

Whether the first-order Shenzhou can withstand a salvo of heavy artillery is still in question.

After thinking about it like this, the confidence of the captain of the Martin burst again, and he circled around the Shenzhou with the Shenzhou as the center, always keeping the side of his ship facing the Shenzhou, ready to carry the impact of the Shenzhou and load the shells to carry out a round of heavy artillery bombardment on the Shenzhou.

......

After a round of shelling, the vessel needed to reload and reload the ship, and after two rounds of shelling on the Martin, Lin Zhou had basically figured out the approximate time between the opponent's two rounds of shelling.

Therefore, Lin Zhou had already predicted when the opponent's third round of long artillery attacks would be launched. At the current distance, the opponent can choose to attack with a long cannon, or with a short cannon, or of course, you can attack with both a long cannon and a short cannon, so it will be difficult to dodge.

However, without getting close, Shenzhou had no chance of sinking the Martin at all.

The Shenzhou is now a first-order small ship, and it has not upgraded its armor, and its defense is very low and fragile, and it will be very dangerous once it is attacked by the Martin's artillery fire, and it is likely to be killed by one hit. (To be continued......)
