After a precious minute of peace, Valkyrie and the Queen Anne's Revenge turned left and right tacitly, reopening the distance between them in the vast sea.

Edley's damage statistics are finally up.

In several main sailor gathering areas, 2 people were seriously injured on the deck, 3 people fell into the water, 1 person was seriously injured in the restaurant, and 2 people were seriously injured in the bilge in this evasion accident.

The vast majority of casualties were concentrated on the port side in standby.

Considering that the recoil of heavy guns is too strong, wooden decks cannot withstand it for a long time, and shipboard guns weighing more than 24 pounds are equipped with related recoil dispersing designs.

The Valkyrie's gun carriage is of the British style. It uses rails and wheels to balance fast loading and recoil control. When it enters standby mode, most of the fixings will be removed to prevent the artillery from interfering with the ship's navigation during the unloading process.

And this evasion accident just happened in the saturation standby stage on the port side.

Everything is messed up.

The No. 3, No. 4, No. 7, No. 10, No. 12 and 14 guns in the main gun compartment derailed, and the No. 1, No. 3, No. 4 and No. 7 auxiliary guns on the upper layer derailed, resulting in 23 deaths and 37 serious injuries .

This result greatly exceeded Lorraine's expectations.

Standing there frowning, he asked Adlay, "Did Mate Scott disembark?"

"yes."

"What did he say?"

"The chief mate says there are ten barrels and an unknown number of shells rolling around our port side, completely destroying the ship's center of gravity."

"Valkyrie's speed will drop by at least 40%, turning more than ten degrees will become a dangerous maneuver, the combat capability on the port side will be completely lost, and..."

"What about it?"

"The chief mate and the gunner organized the boatmen and gunners to clean up the messy port side. Everything that could be collected was collected, and if it could not be collected, it was reinforced in situ according to the chief mate's calculation."

"How long will he need?"

"60 to 80 minutes. Not only was the port side unable to return fire during this period,

A large number of personnel will also be transferred to the starboard side, and only three guns are guaranteed to disperse the enemy. "

"Only guarantee three doors?" Lorraine's face was full of depression, "That is to say, I broke my left hand while rolling, and the first officer is going to tie up my right hand to keep me quiet?"

"The first officer said that this is to restore Valkyrie's ability to run as soon as possible. We are now outnumbered, and he believes that speed and stability are more important than firepower."

"20 minutes."

"Eh?"

Lorraine stretched out two fingers: "Go and tell the first mate, I agree with him, but he doesn't have an hour, only 20 minutes."

"Except for the deck, the whole ship is manned by him, even if there is no gun left. But after 20 minutes, I must see Valkyrie regain health, even if there is only one gun, the port side must resume the ability to attack. "

"yes!"

Edley was sent off to the gun bay again, and Lorraine rubbed his temples as soon as he was gone.

Henna changed shift, she handed over the steering wheel to the substitute helmsman, and walked behind Lorraine as always.

"Aren't you going to find Noah?"

Lorraine shook his head: "There is no substitute for me on board, and I need to stay tense until the battle is over."

"Really..." Hana whispered, "I didn't expect that an emergency evasion would have such a big impact on Valkyrie. If I had expected it earlier, I would try to leave a little buffer."

"It can't be saved." Lorraine sighed. "The problem with the Valkyrie is that the sail is too large and the aspect ratio is too narrow. These high-speed designs are born to be the natural enemies of the ship's stability."

"But on the other hand, her displacement is 2,500 tons, surpassing most second-tier ships and approaching first-class Baimen. If we abandon these designs, we will not be able to keep her at the current high speed and flexibility."

"I chose the former between fast and steady, and the current situation is also expected."

"Just how should I put it? Actual combat is indeed the best place to test ships. Although we thought of her weaknesses when we were discussing Valkyrie, we never thought that the opponent would be able to find a way to deal with it so quickly."

"This is Valkyrie's first battle in the Caribbean..."

Hannah came up and gently held Lorraine's hand: "Have you thought about the problem, but there is no solution?"

"Design flaws cannot be compensated by operational skills. If you are at the helm, Bell is at the helm, or I am at the helm, the results will not be different in the previous situation."

Lorraine held Henna back and gave her a gentle pinch to comfort her.

"We have prepared a special two-ship tactic for Valkyrie, and the project of the Lady was originally established for the two-ship tactic."

"It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven. The things in Africa must be done by someone. Pierce is the most suitable candidate, and the lady is his most suitable flagship. It is the choice to maximize the benefits."

"Valkyrie's demand for wing ships can only be realized after one year. Before that, we have to pass the level of Blackbeard first."

"The more he has lost, the more peaceful our year will be. It would be even better if we can kill him here. After all, only dead pirates are really good pirates."

"Go and rest." Lorraine patted Henna's arm, "This battle is very long, I promise you won't miss it."

...

This array.

The Skua and the Puffin were desperately chasing a slick Brigantine.

It has been more than half an hour since they received the departure order, and the Yarvette not far away was battered and scarred by the intensive artillery fire, especially fighting to the death.

However, they failed to live up to Alvette's death battle. So far, the result of the war has been zero.

No one knows how long Alvette can hold on under the power of Eriksson, maybe she will sink in the next second, or she will be successfully picked up by the fierce Viking pirates, and she will fall into the most tragic battle.

The pruning task must be completed as soon as possible!

The two young captains were very anxious, and the busier they became, the more chaotic they became.

Brigantine, who was their target, ran fast. The Jaeger pursued from the port side, and the Puffin cut obliquely from the right. Not only did they fail to find a suitable shooting angle, but they also blocked the Jaeger, forcing their teammates to give up the wind belt. Dash to evade.

The Jaeger stalled, and the Brigantine disappeared without a trace.

The captain of the Jaeger looked depressedly at his old friend bowing across the sea, and said in a voice that only he could hear.

"I knew I should have chosen the Brigantine with the damaged bow... Is it the price of greed?"

The captain waved to his old friend.

"Let's go back and give priority to cutting the wounded ship next to the Eriksson, weakening one family."

The old friend nodded in agreement.

The two ships turned their bows in the vast sea, just about to launch an assault on the wounded ship, when the warning signal came!

"Report, the enemy ship Brigantine 1 is approaching at a high speed of 1.2 kilometers from north to northeast! Brigantine 2 (injured ship), 5.3 kilometers from south to west! Brigantine 3, 800 from southeast to southeast! Bar..."

The watchman's eyes widened: "I found the Bagg type, 3.3 kilometers to the northeast, and the other battle groups have lost their ships!"

"Also...the Erickson successfully docked Alvette. The boarding battle has begun..."
