A trip to the second dimension

"Captain! They're catching up!"

At the front of the escape route, the Petrel was sailing fast. The excellent sailors had already maximized the speed of this schooner, but it was still being approached by the Hopeful Jackdaw.

The ghost ship behind was blocked by several pirate ships on the road, so it couldn't speed up and was left behind for a long distance.

"What's going on? How can their ship run so fast?"

Henry stood on the stern, looking at the Jackdaw getting closer and closer, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Are you sure they have 250 tons of cargo on board? This speed, even if there is no cargo, it can't be faster than a schooner, right?! No! Even if there is no cargo, a schooner shouldn't be faster than a schooner anyway!"

Henry's eyes widened, his hands tightly grasped the side of the ship, and his teeth clenched.

Compared to the powerful but slow-moving frigates and sailing warships, schooners are a faster common ship, not only used as naval warships, but also often used as civilian sailing ships. A schooner needs at least five crew members, and its light armor makes it extremely fast.

In general, the firepower of a schooner is relatively insufficient. On Henry's ship, there are only 8 cannons and some gunpowder barrels on both sides of the deck.

In battle, schooners often use their speed advantage to lure enemy ships behind their ships, and then use gunpowder barrels as traps to attack. They avoid exposing their sides, rarely slow down to attack with cannons, and would rather pass by the enemy ships and then attack with gunpowder barrels. They often appear in groups as escort ships for other ships.

So, from the beginning, Henry chose the Petrel for the purpose of escaping.

The group of pirates he used as scapegoats was more useless than expected, but they did buy time for the Petrel to escape.

But what is the situation now? The speed of the Jackdaw is faster than his own ship?

Is this possible?

If he is caught up, won't he be the one facing the ghost ship next?

"Quick! Throw down the gunpowder barrels! Prepare the trap!"

Henry picked up the whale harpoon beside him, raised it high, and shouted loudly!

The pirates heard this and threw down the gunpowder barrels on the ship.

As the Petrel moved away, only wooden barrels were seen floating on the sea.

As long as the Jackdaw caught up, they could fire at any time to blow up the large area of ​​gunpowder barrels!

"The distance is not enough. Even if they want to turn the rudder, they will definitely enter the explosion range of the gunpowder barrels." The first mate Bernard is experienced. The distance between the two sides and the timing of throwing the gunpowder barrels are arranged just right.

In any case, the ship can only stay to block the speed of the ghost ship for them.

They have come to the edge of the ghost fog. As long as they work hard to escape from here, they don't have to worry about the pursuit of the ghost ship for at least a period of time.

Although it will definitely come again in the future, it doesn't matter. As long as they escape this level, Captain Henry has a way to solve these problems.

But before that...

"All of you go to hell! For me!"

Captain Henry showed a grim smile on his face as he watched the Jackdaw approaching a large area of ​​gunpowder barrels.

The villain's grim smile had just appeared, and the Jackdaw was about to hit the gunpowder barrels head-on, and there was no time to turn. Something that shocked everyone suddenly happened.

The Jackdaw, which was still moving fast, put away all the sails, and the whole ship suddenly stopped, without any inertia! It was unreasonable!

What was even more unreasonable was that there seemed to be a turntable under the hull of the Jackdaw. Such a large ship rotated 70 degrees on the spot, and then lowered the sails again, avoiding the group of gunpowder barrels far away, and drove out diagonally!

Bald Henry: "???"

First Mate Bernard: "???"

Captain Jack: "???"

"No! How did you do this? This is too unscientific, right?!" Jack looked at the Jackdaw's coquettish operation and suddenly looked unbelievable.

"But this is very much a game. This is how the game is controlled. If you don't agree, go complain to Ubisoft." Hope didn't even look back, and once again accelerated the Jackdaw to catch up with the Petrel in front.

Jack was speechless when he heard this.

I'm talking to you about science, and you're talking to me about games?

Although he didn't understand what Hope meant, Jack could see that this ship was indeed a magic ship, just like the Flying Dutchman.

Thinking of the Flying Dutchman, Jack thought of his Black Pearl again, and his eyes were immediately filled with memories.

"It's impolite not to return the favor! Ezio! Give them a little gift!"

The two ships were getting closer and closer, and Ezio pushed the cannon on the deck in front of him with both hands.

In his sight, a translucent parabola appeared, moving with Ezio's muzzle.

After he aimed at the Petrel on the opposite side, the eleven cannons on this side had all calibrated their muzzles!

"Fire!"

Hope gave an order!

"Boom boom boom!"

The guns fired in unison!

Solid shells were fired at the Petrel in front of the ship. Ezio controlled the fire so that most of the shells missed the target, but two or three shells hit the other side's deck!

Huge pits were immediately created, and an unlucky sailor was thrown directly into the sea.

Because they still had to grab the whale harpoons in their hands, these were not explosive gunpowder shells, but even so, it was enough for the Petrel in front to slow down.

One fast and one slow, the two ships approached quickly, and soon, the two sides were less than 70 meters apart.

"They are ready to fight back, do we want to engage in a boarding battle?"

Nemo held the whirling cannon in his hand, watching the sailors on the opposite side loading the cannons, and hurriedly asked Hope.

The other side still had something they wanted in their hands, so it was still a bit cautious to fire, but the other side would be unscrupulous to fire.

"No, I'll go!"

Hope waved his hand, and a mechanical steam horse suddenly appeared on the deck below.

"Go!"

Hope gave an order to Chimera, and Chimera immediately moved his hooves and jumped directly out of the deck. The whole body quickly deformed in the air, and finally formed a mechanical shark and fell into the sea.

The shark's body size increased rapidly, and soon, under the gaze of a group of astonished people, it turned into a super mechanical shark with a length of 17 meters!

"My God, I haven't seen it for a while. Has the Chimera grown so big?!" Ezio looked at the big guy swimming in the water and was surprised.

"Of course, its prototype is transformed from the fire source after all, and I have never forgotten to feed it during this period. Maybe it can become a monster several hundred meters long in the future."

Hope passed by Ezio and temporarily gave Ezio the control of the Jackdaw, and then jumped onto the back of the Chimera shark.
