Codex Pirates

Chapter 99: The Beginning Land (Part 2)

The pirate ship on the pier of Black Reef Town, after a frantic toss, finally started to move towards William's ship.

It's just that Guy's ship has just set sail, and its speed is not as fast as that of William's. It is easy for William to command the ship to occupy a favorable position on the T head. Through the lens of the telescope, he can see the chaos on the enemy's ship.

Guy cursed loudly on the bow deck. Most of the cannons of sailing warships that are popular today are placed on both sides of the ship. Only when they are horizontal can they maximize their firepower, which is the so-called T-shaped horizontal head.

Sure enough, after William's ship crossed over, it was close to the enemy's side, and there was a burst of gunpowder smoke. It was composed of two iron balls. The ship that Thief Guy is on.

Two chain bullets fell on the deck of the enemy ship, and the shells tied with iron chains passed by the pirates who were busy sailing on the deck, and the blood of the stumps could be seen flying from a distance, but more The chain bullets hit the mast and sail of the enemy ship. The mast was shaky and the sail was broken into many holes, further slowing down the speed of the ship.

William did not order his gunners to change the solid ammunition, but asked them to pull the ship over to prepare for the boarding.

On the other side, the pirate ship that Guy was on also started firing continuously. The roaring shells occasionally flew over the deck where William was on. The newcomers who had just boarded the ship were pale. Do the work at hand.

The seemingly hard guard on the side of the ship is useless for resisting solid shells. When a round shell slammed into it, the wooden guard shattered directly, and the wooden spikes shot everywhere. The pirate behind was weak, and his entire upper body was directly carried away by the shell, and he died immediately.

And a few pirates next to him were also injured by the wooden spikes when they were caught off guard. The old pirate just cursed secretly, but gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and pulled out the wooden spikes silently. According to experience, a person was stabbed in the eye by a wooden thorn, threw the weapon in his hand, and lay on the ground screaming loudly.

The light of the knife flashed, and the screams stopped abruptly.

William held the blood-stained knife and stood on the deck where the shells were flying across. He had no intention of avoiding it. He had already chopped off the head of the rookie who had just screamed. The rookie who flinched from the screams swept over him.

The newcomers swallowed, stopped looking at the corpses on the ground, and turned to look at the enemy ship. Although William didn't speak, they already understood William's intentions.

William usually doesn't put on airs when he treats the crew. As a pirate captain, he can even be considered kind, but when it comes to killing people, he never relents.

Braving the artillery fire, the pirate ship of the Morgan Pirates finally gradually approached the local ship. When there was still a considerable distance between the two ships, William stepped on the deck, and the whole person jumped into the air, and the windbreaker bulged upward, making him feel like Like a big bird, it flew towards the enemy ship.

Although William didn’t see any abnormalities on the surface, in fact, the heat in his body was transpiring, and his whole body was as light as nothing. There was even a faint upward force filling his body. is less dense than air.

Guy stared blankly at William in the air, and it took him a while to react in a jerk, ordering his men to raise their guns to aim at William who seemed unable to use his strength in mid-air.

When William approached the ship where Guy and other pirates were on, Guy directly ordered loudly: "Fire!"

Gunshots sounded like popping beans one after another, but at the same time, a puff of steam suddenly emerged from William's side, directly pushing his body to move laterally in mid-air, and the bullets fired at him fell through one after another.

Immediately afterwards, two explosions sounded under William's feet at the same time, and the steam exploded from under his feet. The thrust generated by the expansion of the gas pushed him forward quickly. Before the pirates of the enemy ship had time to reload, they landed on the enemy ship.

boom!

After landing on the ground, William bent his knees slightly, relieved his strength, and looked at the panicked enemies around him, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

...

When William was dealing with the enemy's pirate ship, another pirate ship driven by Harden and Aramis had also entered the dock.

The two left some people to guard the boat, and each led their men into the town.

Although the East China Sea is known as the weakest sea area, there are also a lot of pirates. William has a clear plan for future development. If the plan goes well, it will be necessary to wipe out the pirates in the future. Those big pirates with larger targets are actually easier to deal with. , On the contrary, it is the little guys who are not strong enough. Once they are broken up, they will be broken up into parts and hide in places, which will easily involve energy. Therefore, William has been trying to run in and train his pirates, and brought Selkirk to The great route forces that came and the pirate forces that were recruited later were dispersed, and the old people left over from the Barbarossa period were used as the backbone for the daily operations team, reducing the conflicts and distances caused by the different backgrounds and experiences of the crew.

At the same time, he also wants to formulate and experiment a tactic that can respond in a timely manner, which can not only break up the whole into pieces to wipe out sporadic targets, but also respond to each other to deal with powerful enemies, and can quickly gather together at critical moments.

In this way, in the future, the pirates under his command can solve the target without needing William to come forward, and he only needs to deal with the difficult targets that his subordinates cannot deal with.

The act of breaking the established situation is always not so smooth, but the current bumps and bumps are all for the long-term future. William can bear it. In fact, he can take care of everything himself, but he is the officer on the ship, not the nanny. If you have to do everything by yourself, you will be exhausted.

The team configuration led by Aramis can better reflect William's intentions. The team has a total of four people. In addition to Aramis and the veteran Hutcherson on board, there are two foreign pirates brought by Selkirk from the Great Passage.

The four of them groped quietly towards a house where there was a commotion, and when they came to the door, they saw that the door of the house had already been broken open, and the broken door lock was hanging on the door alone, through the door. , you can see part of the situation in the living room.

Several chairs were overturned, and there were several fragments of porcelain on the ground. From the surrounding water marks, a few bouquets of flowers, and the vague outlines of the fragments, it can be seen that they were originally vases.

Hutcherson observed the water-stained footprints in the house, lowered his voice and said to his companion, "There are only footprints that went in, but none that came out. People should still be inside."

Aramis and Hutcherson exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then Aramis led another long-faced pirate along the wall to the other side of the room, while Hutcherson was confirming When there was no one in the living room, he walked in cautiously with another short and strong pirate.

Hutcherson and the short pirate stopped in front of a door. He listened for a while, and could vaguely hear a woman sobbing in a low voice from the closed door.

Hutcherson made a gesture with Aramis outside the house through the window of the living room, signaling Aramis to go to the side of the window in this room.

Then he waited for a while to make sure that Aramis arrived at the position, and then he shouted at the people on the other side of the door: "People in the room listen up, we are members of the Morgan Pirates, our captain has an order, as long as If you give up your resistance and catch them without a fight, we will not harm your lives!"

As soon as Hutcherson finished speaking, Aramis, who was lying in ambush outside the window of the room, took advantage of the attention of the people in the room to be attracted, looked in the direction of the door from which the sound came, and suddenly broke the window and rolled into the room.

Hutcherson outside the door heard the sound of the window cracking, kicked the door open, and rushed into the room with a knife in one hand and a pistol in the other, and the pirates with him rushed in after him.

This room turned out to be a bedroom. At a glance, Hutcherson saw an enemy squatting on the ground next to the door, close to the wall. The opponent was obviously trying to sneak attack Hutcherson and others who came in through the bedroom door. But because Aramis broke the window, he was attracted attention, and at this time, he pointed the gun at Aramis who rolled into the house.

Hutcherson shot without saying a word, and the enemy who had just aimed at Aramis was hit to the point, and fell to the ground with a scream.

The short and strong Morgan pirate who was following Hutcherson also entered the bedroom at this time. He swept his eyes to search for the enemy, but when his eyes fell on a big bed facing the door of the bedroom, he suddenly looked again. Can't move my eyes.

There was also an enemy pirate hiding behind the bedroom door. At this moment, he just rushed out from behind the door and slashed at the short and sturdy pirate who didn't react in time.

Aramis, who broke in through the window, had sharp eyesight and quick hands. He swung the knife first, and chopped off the opponent's wrist with the pistol. When he came back to his senses, he swung his knife and slashed at the screaming enemy who was covering his severed hand with a ferocious face.

"What are you thinking!" Hutcherson cursed at the pirate who was just dazed, and then he couldn't look away when he looked at the big bed.
