Pirate Kingship

"No, it's a pirate——!!!"

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

“How could pirates be here?

[The key to the treasure ship] has never been broken through. The accidental losses in the past few decades were all due to natural disasters. How could the three dignified fifth-level secret keepers leak the secret? "

But no matter how unbelievable the sailors were, the approaching pirate fleet on the other side made it impossible for them to deceive themselves anymore.

Standing on the deck and looking upwind, there is only...

Black sail! Black sail!

The black sails and black pirate flags that could not be seen were all densely packed and stretched to the end of the field of vision. In total, they were much more than the treasure fleet.

Although most of them are sloops that do not even have the ability to sail across the ocean, they are just dwarfs like "third-class cripples" in front of their large Galen.

But even a large number of ants can kill an elephant, let alone a group of vicious pirates?

clang! clang! clang!

The alarm bells on the major ships rang with unprecedented intensity, spreading far across the entire sea area.

What is more turbulent than the alarm bells is the hearts of the Castilians.

The sailors and marines who may be able to serve in the treasure fleet are all carefully selected elites.

But they have the special effects of the title that can avoid fighting to the greatest extent. Who knows how long it has been since they have dealt with pirates with real swords and guns, and how much strength they have left.

If you forget to fight, you will be in danger. Use it to advance and lose it. It is a natural law and does not depend on human will.

In fact, [Behemoth Buster] Wycliffe was also extremely shocked and angry when the "key" failed.

I can't understand why a routine mission, which was so ordinary, suddenly took a turn for the worse and ended up like this.

His sister Katarina's face was equally ugly, and she couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with one of the kingdom's top brass.

"Those pirates were obviously well prepared. They most likely arranged the encirclement here a few days in advance, just waiting for us to sneak in.

There is a high probability that the [information black box] was leaked during transportation.

I'm afraid there's some conspiracy here that we don't know about.

Others may not know it, but we know best that there is not only His Majesty's [King's Right Hand] hidden in the fleet, but also the 'Poor Knights' found by the princess. Now that there is an accident, then they..."

But he was interrupted by Wycliffe raising his hand:

“We’ll wait until we get back safely to determine what the problem is.

With my father as the guardian of the kingdom, even His Majesty must give an explanation to the Dibo family. Let's kill the pirates in front of us first. "

Catalina also regained her composure, and said bitterly with some reluctance:

"I understand. The Treasure Fleet's unbroken record must not end in our hands."

Soon, the voice of Fleet Commander [Behemoth Buster] Wycliffe Dibo resounded throughout the fleet, giving everyone a backbone:

"Don't panic, even if the key fails unexpectedly, the swords and guns in our hands will not!

As long as there is the Great Sea Wall deployed by the "Niucheng", our Kingdom of Castile will always be number one in the world in all sea sieges.

Order: Everyone enters the combat position, each gun assembly is loaded, and once the pirate ship approaches, give me a hard hit!

If anyone dares to run away from the battlefield, I guarantee that he will not even have a chance to go to a military court. "

The captains of each ship responded one after another:

"As you command, Your Majesty Commander."

Among ocean-going merchant ships, there is no absolute civilian ship. At least it must be an "armed merchant ship" to be eligible to set foot in the first circulation zone.

This is especially true for the treasure fleet. Even the most common cargo ships are large Galen ships with a displacement of nearly one thousand tons.

After installing the artillery, the firepower will not be inferior to that of a conventional fifth-level ship, and the equipment is enough to crush pirate ships.

Each of these armed merchant ships equipped with artillery and marines is equivalent to a sea fortress.

In addition, it is connected by the "Great Wall on the Sea". If you can't even win the battle to defend the city, you might as well just wipe your neck.

The most fortunate thing is that in order to resist the impact of the sunfish just now, those facing the pirate fleet are escort warships with the strongest combat effectiveness.

After recovering from the panic that the "lock key" failed, I finally gained another three points of confidence.

Therefore, the Castilians did not even have any extra tactical moves to gain the upper hand. They just responded to the changes by remaining unchanged, waiting for the pirate fleet to hit the "city wall" on its own.

“Tsk, the Treasure Fleet is probably a typical example of always fighting a low-intensity security war, or even not fighting a war for many years.

Forcibly turning the first-line elite into a second-rate unit that dared not fight with pirates.

Let me teach you how to fight today. "

Byron has already collected the most detailed information in the world through his own online financial street intelligence, mercenary and killer platforms, such as "Tao Intelligence", "Bingduoduo" and "Kill Me". Treasure fleet information.

We know that the [First Galenic Sailing Ship, Niucheng] is the strongest point of the entire Great Wall on the Sea, and it is also the weakest point.

Because the more Galenic sailing ships he has under his command, the stronger his ability can be.

To a certain extent, the "Ox City" is comparable to the "dominated pirate ship" of the legendary battleship "Dragon Head Ship Valhalla".

However, if the successful fleet loses the fleet, if the large fleet is dismembered, their formations are broken up, and the [Niucheng] becomes a polished commander.

You can immediately defeat the "sea siege" that the Castilians are best at, and return to the wolf pack tactics that the pirates are best at!

Thinking of this, Byron waved his hand and sent a signal:

"Miss, Salant, the first wave of attacks will be left to you."

"clear."

The next moment, the main body of the dark pirate fleet collectively slowed down outside the range of the treasure fleet.

But there were hundreds of single-sail boats, not much bigger than rowing boats, continuing to accelerate forward.

There was no one on it except a bulging sail and a pile of oak barrels, but the speed was getting faster and faster.

But it was [Sea Mage] Salant who had used the power of [Sea King's Trident] to control nearby fish schools, desperately pushing these arson boats underwater!

You have the Great Wall on the Sea, I have the Fire Battalion.

The fire attack technique defeats the iron chain chain!

The navies on the Treasure Fleet immediately understood the pirates' tactical intentions and immediately came up with targeted battle plans.

They are the best at sea siege warfare, and of course they know their own weaknesses very well.

The captains of each ship immediately ordered:

"Each artillery team, load shotgun canisters and sink them!"

boom! boom! boom! boom!

The flames of the cannon flickered, the smoke billowed, and countless hot projectiles hit the arson ship with a stormy momentum.

There is no shortage of [gunnery experts] in the fleet. Their accuracy has been greatly improved when operating guns independently. Even with front-loading smoothbore cannons, it is not difficult to hit moving targets within a hundred meters.

But under the control of Salant, the fish immediately began to move irregularly and at high speed in a serpentine manner, drawing winding white water marks on the sea surface.

Most of the shotgun shells fired by the extraordinary gunners missed, and only a few outstanding ones hit the arson ship opposite them.

If the boat was controlled by humans, 80% of it would be disabled by now.

However, the destructive power of the shotgun, which is very lethal to people, is very impressive to the wooden boat itself.

In the history of naval wars in various countries, there are records of being hit by hundreds of solid artillery shells and still not sinking. It is extremely difficult to accurately sink these "unmanned suicide bombs" within a limited number of shots.

Some ships dropped [Dragon Dung Potion] in an attempt to scare away the fish. Unfortunately, this place was already at the edge of the ocean current, and the potion spread very slowly, which was not enough to scare away marine life.

Of course, not all warships in this "Great Wall on the Sea" that are more than ten kilometers long are helpless against "unmanned arson ships".

Several of the captains were Level 3 Lighthouse Sequence [Navigators]. They opened their palms and pointed at the sea, activating the Level 3 core professional ability [Tide Catcher].

Wow.

Circles of ripples rippled from under the boat, and the waves were controlled by them, forming high-speed rapids and pushing them backward.

The strong ones among them can even raise huge palms from the sea and overturn schooners into the sea.

The only problem is that there are too few of them to influence the outcome of the battle.

In the end, about one-fifth of the fish that slipped through the net successfully rushed to the battleship.

Under Violet's remote control, it exploded with a bang, and the blue and white blazing fire soared into the sky like a fire dragon with its teeth and claws, instantly lighting up the entire naval battle battlefield under the dark clouds.

The wooden barrels on the ship are filled with high-energy whale oil from Leviathan whales, which is difficult to extinguish for a while.

Even if the sailors cranked up the water pump until it started to smoke, they still couldn't resist the heat.

They could only watch helplessly as the light barrier opened by the "Great Wall on the Sea" was burned and crackled. The scorching heat quickly scorched part of the sailors' hair, causing them to scream and retreat.

But because he wanted to maintain the formation of the Great Wall on the Sea, he did not dare to evade without authorization and left the team to sail on his own.

In that case, the captain will really go to court-martial. Unless he is a noble, it is not impossible that he will be shot in the end.

"They're all trash!"

Fleet Commander [Behemoth Buster] Wycliffe also discovered the problems faced by the Treasure Fleet, and was determined to resume actual combat when he returned to the kingdom.

But now he could only choose to save the situation, reaching out and slapping the steering wheel in front of him.

The iron-colored aura of the [Great Sea Wall] lit up again, and all of it was focused on the ships that were attacked.

After the entire fleet is connected as a whole, the spiritual and defensive power of other warships can be mobilized to concentrate on one point, and a force field is generated to suppress the attacker in reverse.

Seeing that the flames were about to be suppressed little by little.

Violet, who had been waiting on board the Flame Rose, suddenly curled her lips slightly and raised her hand to snap her fingers.

Snap!

A dozen warship birds suddenly flew down from the low clouds above their heads, heading straight towards two warships whose defenses had been temporarily removed, resulting in a temporary power vacuum!

Countless forces have produced countless research materials in order to seize the Treasure Fleet for decades, but the Treasure Fleet is completely ignorant of its opponents.

By deliberate calculation and unintentional calculation, the Castilians didn't even have time to release [Forbidden Sky] before being ridden in the face by the [Blood and Fire Singing] flying dragon.

boom! boom! boom! boom!

Even though a few were hit by the fortress-sequence [Musketeers] with perfect shots, more of them fell on the too dim light barrier outside the ship.

The fourth-level [Elixir] level flesh and blood combined with [Kiss of Flame] was like a dozen powerful high-explosive aerial bombs. The fiery shock wave tore apart the defensive barrier that had been cut twice in a row in just an instant.

The two ships that were chosen as targets were immediately thrown to the ground, and the entire mast, sail system, and superstructure were swept away.

"Ah, help me!"

Only a few sailors on the lower deck had the strength to call for help, but most of them were bleeding from all seven orifices, and they were about to breathe out but not in.

What's worse is that as the explosion spread, the flames rose, and the fire began to spread from the two wooden sailing ships to other nearby ships.

One of them even had a tragic explosion because the gunpowder magazine was ignited, and the flames were blown everywhere.

"Disconnect contact, emergency avoidance!"

At this point, the ships finally didn't care about the military court and began to turn their heads to avoid friendly forces.

The advantage of this "sea wall" over the iron chain is that it is not physically connected and can be disassembled at any time.

And this is exactly what Byron wanted.

They had never thought of burning the fleet in one go. The treasure fleet was full of priceless cargo ships, and each ship was worth dozens of small targets.

Wouldn't it be a waste of time if they burned them all in one fire?

When the treasure fleet was in chaos and passively separated into fleet mode.

"All-out attack!"

Byron immediately issued the next combat order.

The treasure fleet, which consisted of hundreds of pirate ships, was immediately divided into two parts.

One was the windward column led by the [Dreadnaught], [Flaming Rose], and [Blood Hand], and the other was the leeward column led by the [Golden Fleece], [Church of Suffering], and [Candy House].

The two columns went straight to the fire points where the other side had no troops.

The "T" head, which should have been occupied by the "Great Wall on the Sea", was soon captured by the pirate fleet and split into a "卄" character.

"Fire on both sides!"

At the moment when the windward column cut across the formation and passed by the treasure fleet, the ghost ship [Dreadnought], which was the flagship and the lead ship, immediately fired at the ships on both sides.

Some of the hot shells fell into the water, while others pierced the bow or stern of the enemy ship from the bow and stern, causing tragic bloodshed.

It didn't matter if the hit rate was not high when passing at high speed, because the [Flaming Rose], [Blood Hand] and many pirate ships behind also fired.

After Byron led the [Dreadnought] to kill through the enemy formation, he did not pay any attention to the main force in the middle, and immediately turned back and forward to complete the outflanking of the vanguard.

Then he hunted down the flagship [Numa Nand] of the vanguard fleet together with the [Flaming Rose] and [Blood Hand].

After each fired a round of shotgun shells to sweep the deck of the enemy ship.

"Boarding, boarding!"

The most tragic boarding battle started at the order.

Sarant transformed into a "cannonball devil fish" that looked like a cannonball, and got into a large-caliber short-barreled mortar on the rear deck.

Boom——!

A loud noise.

The next moment, accompanied by fire and gunpowder, he was like a real cannonball, and crashed into a side gun port of the [Ruma Natan].

He started with a [Flash Spell].

With the unparalleled impact force, he danced into a whirlwind with a mace in his hand, and crushed all the sailors along the way.

He killed from the right side of the ship to the left side of the ship, and rushed out from the opposite gun muzzle, and rushed onto the deck in two steps.

It happened that someone's reckless words ignited his anger tank:

"Quick, kill that berserker with a mace!"

Sarant immediately lifted the seal of "morality" on himself, and the heavy morality fell to the ground, almost smashing through the deck.

He immediately transformed into a "hidden fish" that attacked Chrysanthemum, holding a mace in his hand and stirring the endless water vapor on the sea, turning into a high-speed rotating electric drill.

Then a tragic wail such as "No no no, ah——!" was heard on the deck.

Both the enemy and the friendly nearby shuddered fiercely.

It can be said that this move has a 100% physical damage, and the person hit will die, but it also has a splash effect, and the psychological damage to others is as high as 1000%.

It can be regarded as an alternative "magic damage", right?

Although Salant's real witchcraft only has one move [Flash Magic], he has maxed out the "melee magic" such as staff magic and physical fitness.

Even though he was eventually shot away by the [Don Quixote] spirit summoned by the captain of the [Ruma Nadari], he took the opportunity to destroy the steering wheel, making it lose most of its maneuverability.

Then Byron and the others immediately took the opportunity to surround him.

This one was a fierce fight.

The leeward column on the other side was the same. After firing a round of artillery fire, it immediately turned back and headed downward, concentrating on eating up the rear guard fleet led by the deputy commander.

"Be careful not to blow up the ammunition depot."

"Kill, kill, kill, board the ship, as long as we take down a treasure ship, we will have enough to eat for our lives and our sons and grandsons."

"Today we will drag the Castilians off the altar.

It's time for us to be the masters of the sea."

The pirates don't need to cooperate with each other. The prey is big enough, and how much they can eat depends on their own ability.

Even the invincible marines of Castile can't let those red-eyed pirates retreat half a step. If someone falls in front, someone will immediately follow behind.

Moreover, in this unprecedented large-scale looting activity in terms of personnel and wealth.

I don't know how many pirates have awakened their spirituality because of practicing the motto of "force is better than hard work", and thus become a member of the Lighthouse Sequence Extraordinary.

At this time, on the Treasure Fleet flagship [Ox City], because the fleet was divided in both directions, the Burgundy Cross flag symbolizing the Kingdom's navy looked particularly dim.

[Behemoth Buster] Wycliffe, who was caught in a loophole and used a trick, was furious:

"Dirty pirates and a down-and-out prince from a second-rate country dare to come and steal my treasure fleet?!

I'm going to kill you! "

These emerging maritime nobles who rose with the Kingdom of Castile, their interests are deeply bound to the ocean and the colonial system of Castile today.

Any challenger who dares to threaten this system is their mortal enemy.

Whether it was public interest or private anger, he was filled with rage.

The mantra of this group of people represented by the Dibo family has always been:

"As long as we have money, let the kingdom of Hattings produce those fibers as it pleases, and let the Netherlands produce coins and striped cloth.

Let Feileng Cui produce cloth and artwork, let the natives of the Bantaan Islands supply beaver skins and vicuñas, and let the Holy Silver Empire produce linen fabrics and brocades.

We are the kings of the world, the whole world is serving us, but we serve no one else! "

At least in the first seventy years of the Age of Discovery, they relied on this system and used a large amount of gold, silver, and spices to build the world's most powerful armada and marines.

Their invincible force also allowed them to further obtain more gold, silver, spices and a rapidly rising international status, and eventually became the largest maritime power.

But at the same time, the Castilians also spent decades making this huge aristocratic interest group, which had grown up enjoying the dividends of the times, become a blood-sucking parasite that the kingdom could not get rid of.

Interest groups never consider that domestic handicrafts and manufacturers have been reduced to thieves and beggars due to inflation and soaring prices caused by the proliferation of silver.

Domestic zero-yuan shopping is booming.

Especially after the transition from realism to virtuality, the level of manufacturing industry not only failed to develop due to the goods stolen from the colonies, but was shrinking year after year.

As a result, the "Hidalgo spirit" was formed that advocated luxury and despised labor.

Even though Byron Lancaster, the [Wild Hunt] who leads the pirate fleet, is the former crown prince of Hattings, this group still despises a bumpkin like him.

[Behemoth Buster] Wycliffe opened his mouth, and his mouth was full of the ancient sense of superiority of the "pure Burgundy cross flag" with its bright red roots, and it was definitely a flavor unique to the flag owner's family.

One word: "Enough!"

Of course, the Dibo family is also considered the original major shareholder of the Kingdom of Castile. It is indeed qualified to say this, and because of its own class interests, it will never look back.

Even if one day in the future, when you are shocked and realize that it is no longer possible to contain those manufacturing countries, you should not say something harsh:

"You have overcapacity!"

History seems to be a cycle. The old king throws away his crown, and the successor picks it up and puts it on his head. It has never changed for hundreds or thousands of years.

As Wycliffe shouted loudly:

"Come out, Silver Knife! Destroy them!"

Stab-!

A ray of extremely brilliant silver-white cold light flew out from the deep sea, cutting into the currents and gunpowder smoke, and splitting the entire sea in an instant.

Before anyone else could see what it was, the silver light had already fired at the rear guard, easily splitting the two pirate ships in front of it in half.

It was only then that others saw clearly that it was a [giant oarfish] that was over sixty meters long, shiny with silver, and as thin as a knife!

There is no flesh in the whole body, just like a sharp sword light that stings the human eyes.

"hiss--!"

The giant beast let out a piercing scream, sank into the water again, and pounced on the deputy commander of the fleet, who was surrounded by three men of the same rank and was in danger.

[Behemoth Buster] Wycliffe took his main fleet to fight the wind and prepared to join forces with his sister to kill Byron, the "chief culprit".

This fourth-level heroic transcendent's true job is a wilderness sequence [Monster Hunter]. In addition to his powerful animal companions, his own strength cannot be underestimated.

Byron naturally would not ignore this famous fleet commander.

Perhaps Mr. Wycliffe Debo will be a son who makes his parents proud at home, a brother who cares for his sister, and a hero who the people talk about.

But if the second child, who has been suppressed for decades, wants to successfully ascend to power and live a good life like the boss, he must unseat the greedy boss.

Nothing to say, just fuck him!

In an instant, he personally helped the [fiddler crab] placed at the end of the "first circulation zone" in advance to complete its precise positioning.

Wow.

A giant whirlpool appeared from the side and rear of the main fleet.

The next moment, a brilliant sun jumped out of the sea.

The "Galenic Sailboat", which represents the strongest of the old era, and the "Heavy Cruiser", which represents the strongest of the new era, finally meet on a narrow road here!
