Chapter 55 Pirates
"Fortunately, I can read minds."

Liuli was in a good mood after leaving the Viscount's home.

At that time, she thought that the old housekeeper was going to take action against her, so she used the trace of suspicion in his heart to scare him.

In the end, it was discovered that the other party had no intention of taking action at all, but was just rehearsing it in his mind out of habit.

As a housekeeper, he not only manages the lord's family affairs, but also possesses intermediate strength and serves as a bodyguard, which is really awesome.

Liuli came to the hall in front and called the others here.

"let's go."

"Is the deal done?" Kavian stepped forward and asked.

"Ah."

After leading the team back to the port, Liuli immediately ordered the fleet to leave.

"Let's first go to a nearby island to find a piece of land to occupy and use it as a long-term residence."

Hearing Liuli's words, Kemo was a little worried: "Are you really planning to go? Such a deserted island in the sea has nothing that should be there, the living conditions are also very poor, and there are dangers on some of them."

"Don't worry, I know which island is safe."

Taking out a printed map from the real side, Lin Ye spread it flat on the table.

From other people's guides, it is certain that there are about 50 small islands within a 9-kilometer area nearby. Some of them do have a bad environment, but some have a good environment, and pirates often like to choose similar islands as their homes.

Lin Ye took a look and set his target on an uninhabited island 12 kilometers away.

"This is it." He glanced at the corresponding direction and said, "This island covers an area of ​​about two square kilometers and is suitable for use as a backup base."

Everyone looked at each other, but no one objected to the look.

"Then... let's set off." Liuli waved her little hand, "Set up the sails!"

Everyone got busy.

The sail is raised.

Lin Ye looked at the sea on the right, but he didn't expect that there were two ships slowly approaching Chenyu Island in the distance.

But those ships obviously have nothing to do with their side.

The ship left the shore and headed towards its target. Since the distance is relatively short, it doesn’t take much time at all along the way.

However, he never expected that when they were only 5 kilometers away from the target, they would suddenly encounter a ship equipped with weapons.

"that is……"

Lin Ye held the telescope and carefully observed the target.

It was also a wooden ship, and the hull was even smaller than my own, but it was indeed equipped with a small-caliber cannon on top.

As the distance got closer, the ship gradually became clearer.

He noticed that there were many people moving quickly on the opposite boat. They were dressed in different clothes. Some of them had knives in their hands and wore simple leather armor. Two of them were pointing at him.

"This outfit, pirate?"

Realizing what had happened, Lin Ye looked strange.

Elusi's voice suddenly sounded: "Everyone, be careful, we may encounter pirates."

Suddenly, the crew members who were still having fun suddenly became nervous. .

"Fire team, prepare to load the cannon. Others return to their posts and lower the sail." Lin Ye shouted to everyone, and at the same time turned and walked towards the cabin below, preparing to check the partitions of each cabin.

Because it was so safe along the way, their vigilance against pirates weakened, and many people did not expect to encounter such a sudden encounter. "Quick, you two, go down and bring up two boxes of cannonballs." Kemo shouted to the two newly recruited adventurers, and at the same time opened the back cover of the cannon, "Everyone, please don't move too much. There are currently no If there is a conflict, don't let them see our aggressive tendencies."

Bang-dang-dang——

The original 30mm cannon purchased from Novice Island slowly rotated while the two people worked together to turn the machine.

In fact, the activation speed of this artillery will be much faster than that of the other magic cannon.

but……

After all, the magic cannon has enhanced power, range and accuracy, so although it will consume a lot of charging time when activated, and every 10 bombardments will consume some fire-based crystal powder, the final combat efficiency will be much higher than otherwise. One door.

"The distance between the two sides is 2.2 kilometers."

Elusi used the ruler she made to squat on the side of the boat and measure it.

Whether it is a compass or a telescope, these things are brought from reality, so the effect is much better than the maritime tools used by ordinary people in this era.

Although magic takes the lead in many places, where do ordinary people have so many magic items? At present, Elusi is absolutely sure that her ship's equipment in all aspects is better than ordinary third-rate pirate forces.

……

At this moment, 2 kilometers away, on the target ship.

"Brother, the direction on the opposite side seems to be ours. Are they also going to land on the island?" The man in the round hat looked at the monocular for a long time, and finally determined something. He looked at the strong man beside him. Open your mouth.

The eldest brother was holding a tomahawk in his hand. He looked at the ship on the opposite side for a while, then suddenly turned back and asked his younger brother: "It's just a small boat. Do you think we should take over the other side?"

"Brother, you have to figure it out." The man in the round hat rubbed his hands, "I support it anyway."

"Okay." The pirate brother didn't hesitate. He turned around and shouted, "Everyone, prepare to fight!"

"it is good."

After an excited roar, everyone who was wiping the edge of the knife immediately became excited.

"Quick, quick, ready to reload."

"First give the other side a big shot."

"Damn, I hope there's a beautiful woman on that ship, I've been holding it in for too long."

All pirates are very excited.

The power of the artillery shells of this era can only be described as pitiful. The structure of the ship itself is wooden, so ordinary cannonballs can damage it. In order to have an advantage in sea battles, many craftsmen will actively sacrifice the power of cannonballs and instead spend resources on propellant and precision magic patterns, so that cannonballs can destroy opponents at longer distances.

Of course, these so-called changes are only for sailboats in weak areas. The great empires among humans are said to be studying fully armored warships. They even tried to use magic technology to increase the caliber and power of artillery to modern standards.

But that kind of forest is still far away from the current forest leaves.

The ship he captured from the bandits only had a thin layer of metal plates added to some key parts to strengthen its defense.

And these pirate ships may be similar.

"Load!"

The cannonball was delivered to the hand and pushed into the hull.

However, it is not a magic cannon, and the caliber is not even 30mm, so it is not even within range now.

While they were reloading, Lin Ye in the distance had already seen the situation here through the telescope.

"Are you really ready to start a fight?"

Finding that the opponent had a small-caliber and most rubbish artillery piece, Lin Ye thought for a moment and immediately ordered: "Fire!"
