Pirate Kingship

Under the increasingly fierce storm, the waves of the Storm Ocean gradually piled up endless hills on the ocean surface.

The waves broke through the peaks, and the white foam was rolled into strips by the sea breeze, like countless white snakes surging on the crest of the waves.

"Wind direction is due north, wind force seven, wind speed 32 knots, starboard tack-sail close to the wind! T-shaped."

"Port tack-sail close to the wind! T-shaped."

The moment they saw each other, Byron and Pizarro gave the same order at the same time.

The two warships were like graceful dancers dancing opposite each other, one in the east and the other in the west, and began to tack in the big waves at the same time, ready to seize the upper wind position as soon as possible.

The layout of the square sail and longitudinal sail of the [Golden Deer] two-masted mixed sail makes it much more efficient than the square sail with full sails when tackling the wind in a "zigzag".

The angle of the [Thirteen Warriors] with full square sails is close to 60°.

The mixed sail configuration, with a huge longitudinal sail and three lifting sails, the angle of the [Golden Deer] to the wind is less than 30°.

This is not to mention that the bow image of the South Wind Girl has the ability to distort the wind direction by 30°: the wind conductor.

As long as you have roughly learned the Pythagorean theorem, you will know how desperate the efficiency gap between the two sides in gaining the upper hand is.

It can be said that in the track of the wind, even without the extraordinary effects of "the world's first fast ship" and "seeing the ship is fast", the [Golden Deer], as a Tudor mixed sailing ship, is also the dominant king!

The Thirteen Warriors was obviously closer to the north and closer to the upper wind, but was soon caught up by the Golden Deer.

"Captain, take in the mainsail!"

"Yes. Take in the mainsail and prepare for battle."

The mainsail is the sail closest to the deck on the mast. In a naval battle, it not only hinders the battle, but is also the most easily ignited by artillery fire. The mainsail must be taken in before engaging in battle.

As the distance got closer, they also saw each other's appearance.

The image of the [Lord of Heaven] of the Byron native youth was only shown to Prince Atahualpa. In the eyes of others, he was still Byron Tudor after [Cognition Correction].

"Castile Kingdom, [Plunderer] Francisco Pizarro, prepare for the end."

"Hattings Kingdom, [Sea Hunter] Byron Tudor, you are good! The scavenging hyena that followed Castile to pick up meat dared to bare its teeth at the lion."

Crackle

The eyes of the two captains and mid-sequence extraordinary people collided, and there seemed to be lightning flashing in the heavy rain.

"Assemble solid bullets on the port guns, prepare for double bullet firing, listen to my instructions."

Byron held the steering wheel, extended the superb control of [God's Vision] to the entire ship through the extraordinary ability of [Storm Admiral], and turned every part of the Golden Deer into his eyes, ears, hands, and feet

Transcending the "Great Ship Saint" who could only use one sword technique from the sky, he began to gradually reach the state of "man and ship as one", not a ship spirit but close to a ship spirit.

He went all out as soon as he came up.

This time he took the initiative to challenge Castile's adventure ship, not just a simple whim, but a tacit understanding between adventurers from various countries.

The national strategies of various countries have always been obvious.

The Castilians are always thinking about driving everyone out of the country and monopolizing all the benefits.

Building the Great Wall on the Sea, blocking the route, setting up checkpoints to collect taxes, attacking and destroying the indigenous empire, spreading the plague on a large scale, and fighting for the right to protect religion are countless.

Although this idea has been advancing with the Age of Exploration, and countries have been getting more and more opportunities and resources, it seems to be becoming increasingly difficult to achieve.

But the action orientation has not changed. As long as there is a chance, other countries will be ruthlessly swept out.

The same is true for other countries. The invisible anti-Castilian alliance has always existed. As long as there is a chance, they must add insult to injury to the Castilians who love to eat alone.

Although it is a slow cut, as long as everyone cuts together, there will always be a day when the boss is knocked down and they will take the throne.

It is also because Castile is too domineering. The word "win-win cooperation" has never appeared in the dictionary.

Byron's action of beating the dog when it is down is too politically correct!

He still lacks in hard power.

Even though he has secretly built the privateering fleet of the Pioneer Pilot Colonial Trade Company, mastered the ghost fleet with the Blue Dragon King, and laid a solid foundation for the two indigenous empires with a population of tens of millions.

But the development time is too short, and it is still not enough in front of those old national forces.

Since his strength was not good enough and he could not stand alone for the time being, he could only play both sides and quietly improve his strength.

With his current ability, he could still hold back the Castilians.

It was difficult to do things well, but it was easy to do bad things.

Especially when he realized that the [Sun God] Inti, who ruled the Sun Empire and intimidated the old gods' families on the east coast, might not be just a fifth-level [false god].

Byron immediately changed the established combat strategy and returned to the route before conquering Azik and Taya Empire.

- Seek partners, cultivate agents, carefully maintain balance in the cracks surrounded by big crocodiles, and then absorb nutrients bit by bit to strengthen himself.

This is one of Byron's best skills.

The comprehensive vision of [God's Vision] swept over the native prince who stopped his car to watch the battle in the sky, and nodded silently in his heart:

"This heir to the Sun Empire, Prince Atahualpa, is obviously a very suitable candidate.

The rough colonial 1.0 model of the Kingdom of Castile is no longer suitable for this era of change but not completely.

I set up a line with him as the "relative of the north" and the emperor of the Holy Golden Empire. The best result is that I can support him in the subsequent throne competition, and at the end I can use him as a springboard to find a suitable agent.

In the future, we might be able to achieve close cooperation with the new king and unite the Golden Empire and the Sun Empire into an indigenous empire alliance that can move forward and retreat freely.

Even in the face of the colonial powers of the Old Continent and the ignorant family members on the east coast, they are a force that cannot be ignored.

From then on, the two indigenous peoples cooperated for a win-win situation, and no one dared to speak loudly to me or the two of us.

In the subsequent development of the Southern Continent, I will never lose money if I eat the family I eat and eat the family I eat, and I eat the ‘fellows’ and the ‘compatriots’. "

"Of course, the plan is good. It may succeed or fail in the end. After all, how can there be a business in the world where you can only make a profit but not lose money?

But judging from the prince's series of performances, he was at least much more upright and civilized than the colonists who came from afar.

And Castile, the [Thirteen Warriors] that almost killed Atahualpa, is my target to show my strength to future allies.

You only have your own bad luck to blame. "

This is the first time since the new [Golden Deer] was launched that it encountered an evenly matched one-on-one battleship.

If this opponent who was supposed to be evenly matched had not been beaten to death in advance, Byron would definitely not challenge him in a one-on-one fight.

Pizarro on the opposite side didn't think there was anything wrong with Byron adding insult to injury.

"It's the [Golden Deer] and St. Byron who just made a splash in the Nightmare Triangle in the intelligence.

Just a few days after occupying the whaling ground, he suddenly came to the west coast to compete with us for territory. Doesn't this guy know how to take a rest?

A privateer captain who was born as a commoner really worked hard for the Kingdom of Hattings.

Does Edward IV know that you work so hard?

One is busy giving birth to a child with the most beautiful woman in the Channel Islands all day long, and the other is born and died overseas.

It's better for you to take the throne of king, you idiot! "

He didn't even ask why the other party wanted to attack him, and immediately made the same attack posture, not even paying attention to the sun chariots above his head.

After all, if it were any of the fourth-level powers from the five sea powers here, they would not hesitate to make the same choice as the other party.

Even if he encounters a damaged adventure ship from another country, he will immediately beat up the drowned dog.

But being able to understand does not mean that you can accept it calmly.

His face was as steady as an old sea dog, but his heart was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

For those natives who have never fought against extraordinary people in the [Ladder of Glory] sequence, they may be able to escape unexpectedly, but when meeting other colonists who know the basics, they may not have such good luck.

The two ships continued to approach.

Due to the impressive speed of sailing warships, naval battles in this era often started with the discovery of the target, and the chefs started cooking. After the meal, they took a short nap before officially engaging in battle.

The two warships, one 60° north by east and the other 30° north by west, were exactly vertical when they met after a long attack. The [Golden Deer], seeing the ship's first-line priority, took the lead to seize the opponent's "T" " prefix.

At this moment, the roar of wind, waves, heavy rain, and sea tides all disappeared quickly, and the two warships only had each other in their eyes.

All the onlookers swallowed subconsciously.

"Gudong."

Byron, who had become one with the Golden Deer, decisively seized the opportunity to fight. His aura burst out, and his astral body traveled and possessed the battleship:

"Storm weapon enchantment! Increase the range of the artillery! Command the storm elves! Adjust the firing angle of each artillery team and fire for me!"

boom! boom! boom! boom!

When the Golden Deer passed the bow of the opponent's warship, the 18-pound and 32-pound carron cannons deployed on the sides opened fire in sequence.

The cannon flames flashed in the heavy rain. The storm-enchanted cannonballs carried huge kinetic energy and cold spiral airflow, tearing apart white water lines in the rain curtain, and accurately landed on the bow of the Thirteen Warriors.

The speed bump opened by the [Third-Time Deceleration Pocket Watch] and the water curtain opened by the Onyx Jellyfish had already suffered severe damage from a round of fourth-level mythical creature [Son of the Sun] and had not yet recovered.

Now came another wave of bombardment that was no less powerful than the meteors and fire showers, and finally they could no longer hold on.

When it blocked the fourth shot, it exploded in mid-air, and the subsequent shells penetrated into the weak forecastle one after another, which did not have much protection from the hull.

After the deck was flattened, the [Golden Deer] was originally much shorter than other Galen-type sailboats.

After breaking through the defense at this time, it immediately screamed and bounced, crushing the Castilian colonists who had suffered heavy losses along the entire line into a bloody mist.

On the Thirteen Warriors, only the two 6-pound cannons placed on the forecastle could return fire, and their lethality was better than nothing.

However, the long-range attacks launched by a few weird treasure elves caused them a little trouble, but most of them were blocked by the torrent water ring summoned by Xiaowo.

Even if there are a few omissions, the double-digit number of mid-sequence extraordinary people on board can handle it with ease.

After the eleven cannons on one side were fired, the Golden Deer also successfully reached the upwind position, and after turning into the wind, it was approximately parallel to the enemy ship.

"Assemble ammunition for each gun, change chain ammunition, raise the firing angle! Fire!"

The two warships were only a few hundred meters apart, heading toward each other at close range, and issued orders to fire at the same time.

Dozens of orange-yellow gun flames suddenly illuminated the dark sea.

Large swaths of white gunpowder smoke rose up, and were blown by the wind onto the face of the Thirteen Warriors downwind. Not even the heavy rain could extinguish it in an instant.

The [Golden Deer]'s bombardment is obviously faster, denser, and more accurate.

Boom!

A spherical projectile hit the side outer hull of the Thirteen Warriors, instantly generating a high-speed shock wave at the impact point. In the blink of an eye, it spread to the joints of the oak hulls, and then reflected back again.

The shock wave propagates extremely fast, and when the reflected wave strikes the spherical projectile again, the projectile immediately deforms and tears.

Repeatedly, in the blink of an eye, a large number of irregularly shaped death fragments flew in all directions from the cabin on the back of the ship's hull.

There were both wood splinters and shell fragments, but they were equally deadly.

"Ahhhhhhhh"

The nearby gunners were beaten to a pulp on the spot, and the tragic wails made the battle-hardened companions around them tremble.

A sailor whose waist was cut off by broken wood crawled miserably on the ground, leaving large blood stains.

However, he was immediately shot by his companions to relieve the pain, and was thrown out of the gun port. This was a standard operation during wartime to prevent the corpse from hindering the firing of the gun.

"Fight back, fight back!"

The Thirteen Warriors is also a strange warship, and its shells are equally fierce and powerful.

But even if a shell falls on the Golden Deer, a holy relic battleship with the [Eternally New] effect, it is not much different from hitting the armor.

Even if there are fragments, it will not be a fatal injury to the crew members who bite the [Azik's Curse Gold Coin] and turn into the "Wings of Death" living dead.

Before they knew it, they had grown to where they are now.

Even when fighting against a strange warship commanded by a fourth-level transcendent, almost zero battle losses can be achieved.

At the same time, the exclusive BGM "Katyusha" belonging to Byron, a patient with "insufficient firepower phobia", sounded melodiously.

The sound of violins and sweet female voices echoed throughout the battlefield.

The intensity of the battleship salvo, which was already sharp enough, increased sharply again.

Woo woo woo.

The shrill whine of the cannonball instantly made people's scalp numb.

"The loading efficiency and firepower density of our own artillery shells are increased by 50%. All artillery shells have tracer effects and organ sound effects. When hitting the target, there is a 5% probability of converting kinetic energy into heat energy to cause an explosion.

The enemy's fright level and morale collapse rate are increased by 50%! "

The next moment, a chain bomb composed of an iron chain and a cannonball exploded after cutting off the opponent's mainmast. The howling hot wind blew away a group of nearby crew members.

Before it could fall, it was torn into a tattered sack by splinters.

The originally ordinary solid bullets were actually fired by them with the astonishing power of blooming bullets.

"Oops! Carpenter, the damage control team is coming soon."

[Thirteenth Warrior] was already in the leeward wake zone of [Golden Deer], and its maneuverability was seriously insufficient. At this moment, as the main mast was broken, its maneuverability dropped sharply again.

He instantly became a target for the Golden Deer.

Even though some people were still calling carpenters to repair the ship, the experienced old sea dogs all felt their hearts skip a beat, knowing that the enemy would not give them any chance again, and they all looked desperate:

"The Thirteen Warriors are finished!"
