Reborn As a Pirate

"The distance is six kilometers, the enemy is attacking! Number, seven Brigantines, speed four knots, expected to encounter in 15 minutes!"

Henna's voice drifted down against the sea breeze.

Lorraine stood on the bow of the Butterfly, holding the ferocious narwhal, squinting and enjoying the salty wind and sea water.

As the battle drew closer, he could already feel his blood boiling.

The Trojan fleet has turned back into a broken-off fleet again. The seven Brigantines lined up in a neat A-shaped formation, led by Tuna and Hurricane, and spread the Cod, Shower, Timothy and Clover on both wings, wrapping the Butterfly in the formation. center of.

They are all comrades-in-arms that Lorraine is familiar with, and they are partners that he can safely deliver to his back.

They have only one goal, and that is the general flagship of the Desai Chamber of Commerce, the fifth-tier Galen destroyer, and the sea monster in the offshore business circle, the Reindeer.

Lorraine knew that no matter how sophisticated the gunnery was, the nine-pound cannon assembled by Brigantine could not crush the heavy hull of the Reindeer, and although the firepower on the Red-haired Sultan was strong, its clumsy and old hull could not poses a real threat to the Caribou.

Victory can only be bought with blood.

He prepared a generous gift for Villen, and the Butterfly abandoned all its artillery, and two hundred sailors gathered in the small cabin, sharpening their knives and shouting for battle.

That's why Lorraine needs the firepower and attention of the Red-haired Sultan to entangle the Reindeer.

He was going to forcibly join the ship, forcibly board the ship, and fight for the Butterfly Flower to be damaged and sunk, and he also wanted to forcibly drag this unfair duel to a fair field.

And his brave comrades-in-arms will open the way for him...

Thinking of this, Luo Lin drew out the long knife with a clang.

"Command, Raven Shogner and Admiral Yashin Saklin are on the left and right, set sail to meet the enemy. Butterfly, move forward!"

Following the order, the peripheral warships unfurled their sails, and the speed of the eight-knot formation was further increased. The slender warships broke through the waves, spread out the formation, and bravely rushed towards the enemy in front of them.

Yashin and his Hurricane rushed the fastest, but within a distance of two kilometers, he pulled away five or six hulls of other ships, plunged into the middle of the French fleet, and ordered loudly: "Fire!"

Boom boom boom!

Both sides of the Hurricane opened fire at the same time, and the red-hot projectiles spread out, exploding huge sprays on the sea surface.

The French immediately fought back.

Heavy bombardment hit the Hurricane, and the first shot hit the stern of the Hurricane, blasting the poop balcony to pieces.

The ship shook violently, but Yassin remained calm, and coldly ordered the helmsman to turn the rudder and lean forward to the left.

His comrades rushed into the battlefield after him, and the six warships pulled out the waterline that spread like fireworks, pressing towards the sides, forcing the French to evade to the outer waters.

The cannon fire raged, shaking the whole field!

A straight line was vacated in the center of the battlefield, and Lorraine squinted his eyes to stare at it, and ordered loudly: "Full sail, charge forward!"

The Pansy is full of sails!

With the wind down and the sails full, because the heavy artillery was dismantled ahead of time, the lightly armed Butterfly raised its bow high, its overall speed soared, and it passed through the chaotic frontier battlefield like an arrow, heading straight for the main battle line with heavy artillery fire.

Five kilometers, four kilometers... Lorraine finally saw the towering mast tip of the Reindeer, the pirate flag of the golden sword flower fluttered against the wind, and the watchman shouted something loudly towards the deck, probably telling Villen that there was a ship Brigantine, who didn't know how to live or die, broke through the blockade and was rushing towards the single ship Reindeer.

Lorraine took a deep breath: "Prepare for battle!"

Get ready!

Three kilometers away, the sailors swarmed out of the gun bay, and gathered on the deck with machetes, hooks, axes, and bayonets.

Yacharin shouted loudly from the deck, and the musketeers with a total of forty men lined up in the center of the deck.

Pierce took his special marine commuter rifle, put it on his shoulder, and climbed up to the specially modified iron watchtower on the top of the foremast.

Haina, Nuoya and Wang also stood behind Lorraine one after another. Karen took over the command of the Butterfly, meowed sensiblely with white ears, and got into the hold.

Hannah handed Lorraine a pair of special leather armguards. The armguards are thick blue-gray, the inner layer fits Lorraine's forearm, and the outer layer is thick, extending to protect the elbow and the back of the hand.

Lorraine looked at this strange protective gear in amazement: "This is?"

"The Komodo dragon from Herbashi Island, Pierce asked an excellent tanner in Plymouth to sew it, and it works very well." Henna raised her hand.

She also has a pair of wrist guards, which are different from Lorraine's arm guards. They look simple and exquisite. The length only protects the lower end of the forearm. There are also protruding, movable leaves that extend to the back of the hand, which is a standard tailor-made.

Lorraine tied the pair of wild-looking armguards to his hands, stuck them into the leather straps, and asked curiously, "Everyone on board has them?"

"There is not enough material. One of the skins sewed a whole smock for Pierce, which is bulletproof. The other skin made a pair of wrist guards for me, and a pair of arm guards for you and Karen. Later Karen I found that Wang Ye's fighting skills are good, so I gave him my armguard."

This choice is obviously very rational, Wang also knows Taoist kung fu, although Lorraine can't tell whether it is authentic or not, but the actual combat performance is indeed excellent.

In comparison, Karen is actually not good at fighting. Just like in this battle, Lorraine arranged for him to command the sailors to pick up the ship, and he didn't expect him to reap much results by himself.

The same is true of Acharin.

A gunner who is good at shooting and picking up girls will not put himself into a hand-to-hand combat environment. If he accidentally gets stuck, his combat effectiveness is not worth looking forward to.

Just Noah...

Lorraine smacked her lips: "Where is Noya?"

"Her skills require too much center of gravity. According to her own statement, she cannot attach any heavy objects to her hands."

"That's a shame..."

After a while, the fighters on the ship got ready. Lorraine raised his legs and sat on the ballista launch pad, holding the cold and smooth handle of the narwhal with both hands, aiming at the target.

The distance between the two sides is only the last two kilometers...

Driven by the wind, the Butterfly had already reached its peak speed, and it was traveling through the sea at a speed of more than twelve knots. In other words, it only took about 5 minutes for this distance to become zero.

The Red-haired Sultan was trying to dodge the gunfire, and slowly...slowly...breathing green smoke, it circled to the back of the Reindeer.

The side of the Reindeer deflected accordingly.

Lorraine's complexion changed drastically!

Because of Longsa's stupid command, the red-haired Sultan did not break away from the port side of the Reindeer, but instead sent the fast-charging Pansy Flower to the starboard side of the Reindeer!

The Galen-type destroyer has sixteen heavy guns on each side, six twelve-pound guns on the main deck, and ten eighteen-pound guns on the gun deck. The butterfly flower of the counterattack force locked into the shooting range.

Lorraine stared dumbfounded at this sudden change, her face flushed red.

"Longsa, well done!" He stood up abruptly, gnashing his teeth and shouting loudly, "He was shot straight ahead! Everyone fix their bodies, turn the rudder to the left, and dodge!"

Boom boom boom!

Scattered shells bombarded the Butterfly, and with Lorraine's early warning, the Butterfly avoided the bombardment with a large angle of inclination.

However, there were too many sailors on the deck, and the sudden change of direction turned the entire deck upside down. At least a dozen people fell into the water screaming and falling into the sea like dumplings.

The bulging sails also softened.

The rapid cutting wind caused the Butterfly to lose the speed it needed to survive. What is its current speed? No one knows at all!

In the midst of panic and anger, Lorraine suddenly heard the sailor shout: "Oh my God! It's tuna, Admiral Shogner is here!"

Raven is here!

Just like what Lorraine did just now, he completely put the Tuna into the wind belt, the whole battleship was full of sails, and while the Butterfly was avoiding a stall, he rushed past Lorraine like an electric shot.

At the moment of passing by, Lorraine saw Lei Wen standing pale on the rail, trembling, and waving the flag to Lorraine with his own hands.

[Sorry for breaking your toy. Forward, privateer of the northern seas. Go on, England]

"The muzzle shifted!" Pierce on the observation deck yelled in panic, "The Tuna was hit in the front! God, they gave up evasion!"

Boom boom boom!

Another round of shells splattered, one shot swept across the deck of the Tuna, and Lorraine saw Raven fly backwards like a torn sack.

But the speed of the Tuna did not slow down for a moment. It was like an arrow, a dart, or a moth flying towards the light. It raised its sharp bow, tore away the layers of water mist in front of it, and slammed straight into the starboard side of the Reindeer. !

boom!

Lorraine tasted the saltiness on the corner of her lips.

He sat back on the narwhal launch pad with a gloomy expression, his mouth full of blood, and ordered softly: "We have paid the price, Niord... Butterfly, board the ship, and charge forward."

"Cut the wind! Advance!"
