Reborn As a Pirate

In this bloody but not intense battle against the island, the northern waters of Wairust was undoubtedly the most stalemate in the battlefield surrounding the island.

Participating in the battle is the first fleet of Drake's direct fleet, its second-generation Galenic destroyers Mistra and Guna, and the first-generation Galenic destroyers Brunhilde and Jerschkogur. Bermuda Brigantine-type frigate Bird, White Pelican and Bermuda Brigantine-type Oleander, Scarlet Sakura, and Zinnia, a total of 9 ships.

Formation flagship Mystra, formation admiral Katerina Dibo, flagship captain and chief of formation tactics room Favna Hanji.

This is the first time since the first formation was reorganized in the Miami counterattack at the end of February 1786 after a lapse of 5 months. Compared with the original 11-ship formation of 1-2-5-3, the new 9 Ship formation is more aggressive.

The newly-launched Guna is a hand-to-hand high-speed expulsion of the same type as Mystra. The Jeershkogur, which was transferred from the second formation, served at the same time as the Grey, which sank in the Miami River at that time. The fleet has experienced the Battle of Basseterre, and has excellent tactical execution and combat experience.

The greatly reduced Brigantine chose the White Pelican and the tactically flexible warship Bird among the three selected. The team did not choose newcomers, but kept the original operators of the Dark Champagne and Hydrangea as much as possible.

All this is to allow the newly formed fleet to adapt to Favna, who has extremely high requirements for tactical execution, in the shortest possible time.

In the same way, Katerina's official devolution is not to deprive Favna of her power in the formation, but to give full play to her expertise, following the reality mode of the admiral assisting the tactical commander.

The fleet is assisted by Katerina, and the flagship is assisted by First Officer Anne. The whole fleet worships Favna as the goddess of victory. Widening the gap with the second formation, even Pierce's elite special service formation had to be inferior in group evaluation.

In other words, the newly formed First Fleet is the strongest group under the entire Drake, which is recognized by the entire direct fleet.

And as her opponent, the Vikings were too mediocre.

In the accumulation stage, the pirate group is basically robbed and used. If the Vikings stayed before the association war, they might have the conditions to transform their combat power. However, in the great post-golden age, the 12 ships are still just ordinary mid-to-upper scale.

Their only ship of note is the second-generation Erickson, launched in 1785 and built by a secret dockyard.

In the Battle of Basseterre, the first-generation Erickson and the flagship of the first formation at that time, also led by Katerina, and the Alvette under the command of the second formation admiral Frein conducted a one-on-one battle. It was a one-on-one contest, but what really touched Bonit was the one against seven under sea level, especially Valkyrie who won back.

In Valkyrie, he saw invincible power like a berserker, invincible both offensively and defensively, and unparalleled in speed.

He imagined that he could also have such a powerful force, so he sold everything he could, and even bought the first-generation Eriksen, ordering his new flagship with a budget of 55,000 pounds!

What kind of boat can be built for 55,000 pounds?

If this problem arises in the Royal Navy's procurement plan, she will become an empty Tier III cutting-edge battleship.

If this problem arises in the commercial contract of the maritime group, she may be a fully equipped second-generation Samurai destroyer.

But Bonet could not choose either of these two suppliers.

After all, there are tens of thousands of shipyards in the world, and there is only one manufacturer capable of independently designing large ships of 40 meters and above, and willing to accept orders from pirates, and that is the "secret shipyard" in Palmeiras, Brazil, which is well known among the great pirates. , the helpless, greedy, superb black market ship dealer.

Bonnet got the boat he wanted there. The total length is 47.6 meters, and the maximum width is 11.3 meters. The main ship material is tough but flammable South Asian teak wood, and steel plates are embedded in the key parts.

As a 40-meter-class destroyer, her size is close to that of a standard-sized frigate, with a displacement of 1,650 tons and a crew of 370 people, all of which exceed the standard frigate.

On the ship, she chose the same special configuration as Drake's second-generation Samurai, with a 24-pound short gun bay and a 12-pound upper deck, sacrificing long-range strike power and leaning towards hand-to-hand combat.

At the same time, the number of her 48 ships is far more than the 42 of the second generation Samurai, with stronger firepower and similar defense.

It's a pity that the secret shipyard couldn't come up with the unique high-speed hull design of the maritime group.

Her fluidity and structure are indistinguishable from a classic Galen, and even with the Bermuda sails her heavy frame weighed her down to 9 knots/1.5 knots, making her a powerful, expensive and unsuccessful privateer skimmer.

This is the finale ship of the Viking pirates, the Erickson, invincible like an awakened berserker, and clumsy and dull like an awakened berserker.

She stood in the middle of the entire battlefield like a stylus, restraining the actions of Mystra and Guna with her own power, so that the battlefield that was originally doomed to be one-sided maintained an evenly matched situation during the more than one hour-long battle .

Back in time to the beginning of the attack on the island.

Piers 27 and 28, which were reinforced by the Erickson and Bloody Mary, quickly defeated the defense forces set up by the Morgan Chamber of Commerce on these two key piers with strong firepower.

Soon after, the Second Fleet went south to suppress the rest of the docks on the West Bank, and the Bloody Mary went around the island to join the First Fleet of the Cotton Cloth Regiment. The Erickson put down Bonnet and his powerful stormtroopers and returned to attack with the Vikings. north shore.

Pirates have reliable and detailed intelligence.

Intelligence points out that Piers 22 to 28 on the West Bank are the most affluent circle on the entire island, followed by the South Coast Circle, followed by the North Coast, while the East Coast Circle and Piers 29 and 30 on the West Bank are Morgan’s office piers.

In the midst of this multi-million-pound heist frenzy, no one is interested in making excuses for a worthless office dock.

On the other hand, the intelligence claimed that Lorraine might be absent from the first auction on the second day in 80% of cases. The traitor tampered with the pier allocation in advance and lured Valkyrie into Pier 17, which is the most suitable for the hound Henry to hunt.

Henry the Hound took on the important task of sinking Lorraine alone, and even if Lorraine was lucky enough to participate in the auction, there was a huge net set by Cotton Jack's kidnapping group of up to 300 people in the main venue.

In this way, the war unfolded smoothly according to the pirate's mind.

First, the First Fleet of the Cotton Cloth Regiment raided the Morgan Chamber of Commerce to escort Pier 1 of the anchor port, followed by the second fleet raided Piers 27 and 28, which had the most armed merchant ships, and the Hounds also attacked the most difficult Pier 17 of Drake at the same time.

The kidnapping operation began immediately. Cotton's stormtroopers completely blocked the entrance and exit passages of the main venue. Bonet and his stormtroopers checked for omissions on the outskirts of the jungle and accidentally bumped into Lorraine and his party who broke out of the encirclement.

The timing of this encounter can be regarded as the biggest turning point in this island attack battle.

Almost at the same time, the three of Lorraine and Bonnet were fighting in the jungle, the Neptune blocked the safe haven strongly, and Drake's first formation on standby in the Green Island Islands captured the Vikings' offensive on the north coast of the island. Favna entered the game, and the two fleets fought in the open sea.

In this battle, Fafuna showed a very strong aggressiveness.

After the first formation fell with Mystra and Guna in the center, Brunnhildr and Jerschkogul each occupied the two wings, and assigned Brig and Brigentine to form a group. The advantage is to rush forward and attack, and take the initiative to open the width of the battlefield.

At that time, the Viking pirate ships were busy harvesting wealth along the north coast, and they had no defense against the direction of the Green Island Islands.

When they found out, the first formation had advanced to within 4 kilometers and had completely expanded its formation.

Caught off guard, the pirates reacted in disarray. One Brigantine was surrounded and sunk within 15 minutes of the battle, and the other Bagg was hit by ten bullets and retreated from the battle with serious injuries.

Favna continued to divide and annihilate the enemy. Just when the pirate fleet was about to reduce its personnel again, Bonet and Eriksen finally joined the battlefield, and with the most brutal response, ordered the whole regiment to concentrate on him.

The chaos came to an end, morale was boosted, the pirates who worshiped the god of war and deviated from civilization, and the sailors who worshiped the goddess and practiced selflessly were tangled together. Favna lost control of the overall situation for a while, and could only use small tactics to strengthen the situation. The two wings were sluggish, and at the same time, the two ships Mystra and Guna were on standby to face the enemy Eriksen.

Three battle regiments, three fierce battles, this is the real scene of the stalemate on the sea when Neptune and the Rurik entered the battlefield.

On the rear deck of the Mystra, Favna lay prone on the huge chart and drew two large arcs.

"The Guna goes around the back, throws the ammunition in the back, there is no need to force it to hit, the key is the position, and the position of the downwind must be stuck."

"Erickson's attention is now on Mystra, which is flying the admiral's flag. We should turn around and maintain the left rudder."

"Always pay attention to the enemy's distance! The head of the Vikings is very powerful in hand-to-hand combat. Once he is on board, he doesn't need many people to suppress the entire ship. We can't give him a chance to get on board."

She chanted, the light voice was completely captured by Katerina and Annie, and quickly transformed into a complete set of tactical instructions, Mistra cut the side, circled around Eriksson's bow, and walked along the arc under the gunfire. Go left.

Eriksson began to pursue, turned around, turned, and generously showed his side, and was the first to deal with the Guna's shelling at the leeward port.

Boom boom boom!

Favna looked up at the reaction of the Guna, then quickly lowered her head again: "The Guna is fully prepared! Tell her to seize the high angle of the leeward vent and focus on hitting the deck and sails!"

Katerina quickly sent the order.

But before the order was finished, the watchman on the high platform suddenly shouted: "Allies support!"

"Allied support was found in the southeast, and the mark was identified as the great Rurik, the flagship of the Dukov Chamber of Commerce, and..." the voice of the watchman trembled, "HMS Neptune! There is no flag flying, it is HMS Neptune !!!”

Rumble rumble...

"Nipton's attack! The bombardment covers the sea surface of the left wing of Jerschkogul, the enemy Brig... Brig, smash it!"
