Chapter 231 The Dogfish Pirate Group

Woo~woo~

Under the setting sun, on the sea, a deck sailor on the passenger sailboat Wang Zhifan was riding hurriedly blew the horn to warn all crew members to take action, because the sailboat they were driving was suddenly attacked.

The attackers were still some distance away from them, and they could only see that they were a warship of considerable tonnage. The warship had already fired artillery at them without explanation, and the powerful shells hit the seawater around the passenger ship. It caused a violent roar, causing nearby seawater to splash onto the deck, and the ship's hull began to shake continuously.

"Fight back! Fight back hard! It's not the style of our Sea Parrot to not fight back after being beaten!"

A white-skinned middle-aged man wearing a triangular captain's hat quickly rushed to the deck and issued strong orders to the sailors and gunners on the deck. It was obvious that he was the captain of the current passenger sailing ship. He is the kind of person with a relatively hot temper, otherwise he would not have installed four cannons on his sailboat just to confront the enemy at such a time.

"Yes! Captain!"

After receiving the captain's instructions, the deck sailors immediately began to take action. Many of them were all-rounders and could pull sails and steer the ship. They even mastered the technique of launching artillery to attack the enemy. Some began to rotate the steering wheel to avoid the sailboat. In the direction of the enemy's bombardment, some began to control the sail surface to coordinate with the helmsman's actions, while many others got into work such as adjusting the angle of the artillery, loading ammunition, igniting and launching.

At this time, Wang Zhifan ordered Chen Ming and Chen Can, two guys who were seriously seasick, to stay in the cabin and rest, while he came to the deck to check the situation. It must be said that he chose to do this not only to confirm the safety of the passenger ship, but also to gain experience. He had never been exposed to this kind of sea battle.

"It's dangerous here! Get back to the cabin quickly!"

When Wang Zhifan just climbed onto the deck from the ladder, the captain who was standing nearby to observe and take charge of the overall situation noticed him. This white-skinned middle-aged man was currently in a serious and angry mood, and he looked quite intimidating. , as soon as he saw the passenger Wang Zhifan coming uninvited, he immediately scolded him and wanted him to return to the cabin.

"Don't worry, I won't interfere with your work, and maybe I can be of some help."

Wang Zhifan immediately shook his head and refused, walked to an empty space on the deck and looked at the enemy ships on the sea in the distance.

At this time, due to the attack on the sailboat and the emergency adjustments of the sailors, the deck inevitably began to shift and shake. Even the captain near Wang Zhifan could not help but tilt his body continuously to prevent falling, but he saw the man next to him. The young man who had just climbed onto the deck seemed to have roots on his feet, and his body barely swayed as he stood on the constantly shaking deck.

"伱......"

When the captain saw this scene, he was about to continue scolding him but immediately suppressed his words back in his throat. Instead of paying attention to him, he took out a classic-looking monocular and began to closely observe the enemy ships in the distance to make targeted announcements. next instruction.

And Wang Zhifan, as he said just now, did not interfere with anyone who was busy on the deck. He walked alone to a deserted place, and his eyes were equally steady looking at the enemy ship on the distant sea that was preparing the next artillery fire. Boat.

"The artillery attack is too dangerous, and the landing point is a bit random. I can't just sit idly by."

Unlike everyone on the deck who thought Wang Zhifan was just a passenger watching the fun, he actually had his own plan from the beginning. At this time, he just determined the target position while observing, and then he didn't notice it. He used some method to put the enemies on the distant sea into a disadvantageous situation.

It's just that no one on the Sea Parrot is aware of this. The captain and deck sailors just felt that the enemy suddenly stopped the artillery attack, and delayed the follow-up shells. Instead, they let their counterattack shells take the lead. It aimed towards the opposite side, and fired several shots in succession from the enemy ship without even retaliating.

"Hahaha! Those bastard artillery pieces must have exploded! You all give me a blast! Hurry and sink their ship into the sea!"

The captain of the Sea Parrot couldn't help laughing when he saw this unexpected favorable situation, and loudly called on his sailors to seize the opportunity to chase and attack the enemy ships in the distance. It can be seen from this aspect that , he may have had some other occupation in the past, not the kind of passenger ship captain who always made stable money.

However, it is not that easy to sink an enemy ship in an artillery battle at sea. Even if their enemies seem to have some problems firing artillery shells, they will not really stay where they are and let them go unilaterally. Instead of carrying out artillery attacks, they reacted the same way as they faced the attack, rotating the rudder to control the canvas, constantly controlling the hull to avoid the shells fired from their side, and even the maneuverability of their sea-going ships in this process was better than that of sea-going ships. The Parrot is stronger!

boom! boom! boom!

In the artillery attacks fired by the Sea Parrot, most of the shells fell into the sea water. Occasionally, one shot hit the enemy ship, but it only hit the opponent's hull and left a shallow dent. Caused decisive damage, on the contrary, the enemy ship gradually increased its speed somewhat strangely in the process, and slowly approached the Sea Parrot.

Wang Zhifan, who observed all this on the deck, immediately raised his eyebrows. He originally thought that his secret action just now was enough to help the passenger ship repel the enemy, but now it seems that his assistance was not enough.

"Do I have to increase my power to completely freeze the ship? It's a bit of a loss to do this. Where is this copy..."

It turns out that the reason why the ship that just attacked the Sea Parrot couldn't fire cannonballs was that he secretly used the source of ice to freeze the opponent's artillery from a long distance, making it impossible for the enemy to complete the ignition. This level of operation is very harmful to the enemy. For him now, the consumption is not that big, but if he freezes the entire ship at the same distance, it will be different. Although he can still do it, the power consumed will skyrocket, which is not conducive to his subsequent dungeon strategy.

"Let's see what this ship is going to do. If they plan to do that, one of my matters can be ended here."

Wang Zhifan quickly gave up the idea of ​​further increasing the intensity of the ice, and instead waited to see what happened. No matter where things went, he would have further responses.

At the same moment, as Wang Zhifan was thinking in his mind, the people on the Sea Parrot also discovered something was wrong with the enemy ship and felt that the enemy ship was approaching despite their artillery attacks, and the speed of approach was getting faster and faster. the trend of.

"Captain! That ship is too strong! Our cannonballs can't sink it!"

"It's approaching us! It probably wants to engage in a boarding battle!"

……

The gunners and sailors on the deck realized that something was wrong and reported to their captain one after another. Naturally, their captain had already discovered this situation that even they could see, and saw this captain wearing a triangle on his head. The white-skinned middle-aged man in the hat thought for a moment and then loudly ordered:

"Stop attacking! Start retreating with all your strength! Don't let them catch up!" This man with a somewhat hot temper actually gave in decisively and chose to retreat with all his strength while his own side still had the advantage in attack. This shows that his He always kept his head clear and did not fall into impulsiveness because of the temporary advantage. He knew that in this situation, the disadvantages of continuing to fight with the opponent far outweighed the advantages.

Immediately, the crew of the Sea Parrot took action intensively according to their leader's instructions. All the cannons stopped loading and firing. The sails were quickly pulled to the highest level, and the sail surface formed a thirty or forty degree angle with the wind direction. At the included angle, the rudder is continuously rotated, controlling the entire passenger ship to travel at maximum speed in a direction away from the enemy ship.

However, all these efforts were not enough to get rid of the savagely charging enemy ship. The enemy ship seemed to have extra power. It was traveling faster and faster on the sea, and the masts of the ship suddenly rose. got a flag.

It was a flag with red background and blue stripes. On the blood-like background, sea-blue lines were used to outline a huge shark with its mouth open and biting forward. There was a sharp and thick point on the top of the shark's head. The horns are like the spears used by knights to charge forward!

"That's the flag of the Dogfish Pirates! There are actually Dogfish Pirates on that ship!"

"Oh my God! How could someone from the Dogfish Pirate Group appear in this sea area!"

"It's over! The Dogfish Pirates are said to have mastered the strange power of Poseidon. We just can't defeat them!"

……

In the blink of an eye, the raising of a flag that did not seem so strange to Wang Zhifan caused the sailors on the Sea Parrot passenger ship to react greatly. It would be an exaggeration to say that they were frightened to the point of death.

Even the captain of the Sea Parrot, who had always been very calm and decisive, turned pale when he saw the shark flag raised on the enemy ship, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Obviously, he knew very well. What this pirate flag represents.

"Evacuate quickly! Evacuate quickly! Throw all the goods overboard! Evacuate at full speed!"

The captain of the Sea Parrot then gritted his teeth and began to give orders sternly. He suddenly made up his mind to abandon all the load on the ship in order to reduce the weight of the ship to the greatest extent and increase the speed of the ship.

The sailors on the deck immediately took action after hearing this, throwing piles of wooden boxes on the deck into the sea one after another. Some sailors even saw Wang Zhifan standing on the deck and immediately shouted to him to come over and help, saying If it were slower, everyone would be dead.

"It's too late, they've already rushed over."

Wang Zhifan responded calmly to the invitation immediately, and did not choose to do this meaningless favor, because his eyes were always fixed on the enemy ship, and he had already discovered that the enemy ship's current speed had increased to a rather terrifying speed. The situation is rapidly shortening the distance between the ships on both sides!

"Captain! We can't escape! Their speed is too terrifying! They really have the power of Poseidon!"

"What should we do now! Captain! I don't want to go to God yet!"

"Captain, let's...surrender...I heard that the Dogfish Pirates will not kill prisoners indiscriminately..."

"But if you surrender, they will sell you as a slave! Do you want to be a slave?"

……

When the enemy ship approached unstoppably at a terrifying speed, the crew of the Sea Parrot almost exploded. No one among them even thought about defeating the enemy. They all planned to meet their end or simply surrender. , enough to show how powerful the pirate flag that had just been raised on the enemy ship was.

At this moment, the captain of the Sea Parrot can be said to be the most desperate person. This passenger ship is almost everything to him, and these crew members are basically his most trusted people. But in this situation, it seems that the end is coming, and they Their situation completely depends on how the enemy deals with them next, because they have no possibility of defeating the enemy. After all, they are the famous Dogfish Pirate Group!

"Everyone, listen! If you are willing to fight with me, then fight together! If you are not willing, just retreat to the cabin and wait for your fate!"

The captain finally decided to respect the choice of each crew member. He personally did not want to give up his beloved ship and was prepared to fight a strong enemy, but he did not force those who were unwilling to fight to face the enemy, as long as they did not get in the way. enough.

When he made these final declarations, the enemy ship approaching at an overwhelming speed on the sea had already reached within thirty meters of them. They could clearly see the vicious group of men on the opposite deck holding various swords and guns. pirates, and the threatening words from one of them with a particularly loud voice.

"Listen to the other side! We are the Dogfish Pirates! Obediently hand over your ship to us! We will keep the lives of those who are obedient! Those who are disobedient will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish!"

Before the man finished speaking, several long wooden boards were put down on the sides of two approaching ships. At the same time, multiple pirates holding muskets raised their muzzles, preparing to fire bullets to catch their side. The captain of the Sea Parrot also took out his musket and dagger, and prepared to block the enemy with all the crew members who stayed on the deck. They spread out and hid behind various cargo boxes, obviously very fearful. The enemy's long-range fire output.

At this time, Wang Zhifan behaved very differently from the crew members of the Sea Parrot who were facing a formidable enemy. Not only did he not hide behind any cargo box, he instead stepped forward and walked towards the wooden planks that had been erected on the side of the ship. Facing the row of pirates on the opposite deck who had raised their musket muzzles, there were also the ferocious enemies who jumped on the plank with scimitars and were about to charge over.

As he walked quickly towards the enemy, he tightened his grip on a 70-centimeter-long black-handled machete with a crescent-shaped blade in his hand. He stepped onto the wooden board with a slight leap. At the same time, his eyes scanned the enemy on the opposite deck, thinking in his heart murmured:

"The number of enemies is far more than 30, which is just enough to fill up the BUFF."
