Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

The sea area east of the Idar Territory was named Merlin Bay by Bruno. It is a bay roughly shaped like a "U". The two sides of the "U" are the coasts of the Norman Empire and the Kingdom of Basel respectively, and Bruno's Idar Bay is a bay that is roughly shaped like a "U". Dalling is located at the bottom of the "U" shape of Merlin Bay.

As for why it is called Merlin Bay, I am afraid that only Bruno knows it. It is probably to commemorate the character who widely existed in various novels and biographies and the legend of King Arthur in the previous life, the wizard Merlin.

After sailing out of the Idar military port, the "Pioneer" began sailing in a southeasterly direction.

From Idar Military Port to Coral Island, if you drive an ordinary sea ship, it will probably take at least more than a week, and it will also be affected by monsoons and ocean currents.

But for the three-masted sailing ship of Idar, it only takes three to five days to arrive, and it can sail regardless of the wind or the wind.

During this period of time, the soldiers of Idar Territory can continue to explore and practice, and become familiar with the structure and operation of the three-masted sailboat.

Captain Jack provided the Idars with a detailed map of the waters near the Kingdom of Basel, as well as a division of the spheres of influence of various pirate groups.

The coral island occupied by the pirate leader Kelvin Prato is the closest island to the Idar Territory. Its area is relatively considerable, and it has a deep-water port suitable for ships to dock. Therefore, it was chosen by Kelvin Prato. As his base camp.

The pirates entrenched in the waters of the Kingdom of Basel are mainly composed of four pirate forces, and the Coral Island Pirates led by Kelvin Prato are considered the largest of them, ranking second in overall size and strength.

From the sea south of Idar to the vicinity of the coral island, it is considered the activity range of the pirate leader Kelvin Prato.

Since shipping has not received too much attention in this era, there are actually not many merchant ships coming and going, and these pirates actually live a tight life, mainly by plundering and harassing the Kingdom of Basel. coastal areas to sustain their livelihoods.

It's just that... even the richest places will become poor after being plundered by pirates without restraint, so that the pirates' lives will become increasingly difficult.

Therefore, although pirates can live in harmony within their designated spheres of influence most of the time, sometimes, due to the instability of income, a series of conflicts and conflicts will occur due to the division of spheres of influence and uneven distribution of interests. strife.

The previous actions of plundering the Cape Saltworks in Idar Territory and exploring the French Islands were actually carried out under the instruction of Kelvin Prato. It was also an attempt to help the coral island pirates find new profit points.

The French Islands located east of Idar were accidentally discovered by Coral Island pirates during this process.

"According to Kelvin Prato's request, the pirates of the Coral Island will set off from the Coral Island in the middle of every month and head to the coast of the Kingdom of Basel to rob money and people..." In the captain's cabin of the three-masted warship "Pioneer", Captain Jack is explaining the daily movements of Coral Island pirates to Admiral Mal Cullen of Admiral Idar.

"According to past practice, this month it is the turn of Kelvin's right-hand man, Fast Pearson, to lead the pirates ashore and plunder. Each pirate captain has his own familiar sailing route and general plunder. The location, so, according to my guess..." Captain Jack said while pointing to a location on the map along the coast of the Kingdom of Basel.

"I suggest that we just sit back and wait on the route they must take to plunder here. After all, our three-masted warship is much bigger, faster, and stronger than the pirate ship, and we can completely defeat them head-on! Of course, This is also a way for the navy soldiers to have a taste of actual combat. After all... attacking the coral island directly is a bit too radical, and the cooperation between the soldiers also needs a war of moderate intensity to be tempered." Captain Jack suggested.

Hearing Captain Jack's suggestion, Mal Cullen couldn't help but nodded.

Indeed, with the support of the three-masted warships, the Idar Navy can take a greater advantage in naval battles. Moreover...the two three-masted warships led by Idar are equipped with the Idar Array Research Laboratory. The magic crystal bomb produced!

Moreover, there are a lot of magic crystal bombs!

In his previous life, Bruno was a member of the flower gardening family. Like other rabbits, he suffered from a phobia of insufficient firepower to a certain extent!

Therefore, the magic crystal bombs Bruno equipped for the two three-masted sailing ships almost filled the entire powder room!

Therefore, the two three-masted sailing ships floating on the sea now can actually be regarded as two giant mobile bombs!

Thanks to the fact that in today's world, at least so far, magic crystal bombs are only owned by the Idar Territory. Otherwise, even if the mages of the Idar Territory have set up various protective measures for the gunpowder cabin, Mal... Karen was also frightened.

The existence of the magic crystal bomb had always been top secret before. Apart from Bruno, the only people who knew about it were the mages who studied the magic crystal bomb and a few specific groups of people.

And Mal Cullen and the sailors responsible for operating the trebuchet are precisely the people who know the existence of the magic crystal bomb!

They saw with their own eyes the tremendous power of the magic crystal bomb in the testing ground of the Armis Mountains, and saw the magic storm generated after the explosion of the magic crystal bomb.

With such a powerful weapon... From Mal Cullen's point of view, it is really a simple matter to deal with those pirates in a naval battle!

"And, the most important thing is... Fast Pearson was also one of the pirate captains who attacked the Cape Saltworks at that time!" Captain Jack added.

After hearing this, Mal Kallen's expression finally changed slightly.

Idar Territory lost six brothers in the battle!

And now, since Captain Jack has sided with the Idar people, this debt will naturally be placed on Fast Pearson!

Thinking of this, Mal Cullen finally said in a deep voice: "Just follow Captain Jack's suggestion. We will wait there and let the naval officers experience the feeling of crushing!"

"yes!"

…

Things were not easy for Fast Pearson during this time.

First, the fleet that robbed the Cape Saltworks suffered a major setback, and then suffered frequent defeats in conflicts with other pirates. This undoubtedly made his immediate boss, Kelvin Prato, very dissatisfied, so much so that he went to Coral Island Pirates The second-in-command position in the gang after Kelvin has also become somewhat shaky.

Therefore, Pearson must use a lucrative victory in exchange for Kelvin Prato's trust! Consolidate his own position!

In order to prove his strength, Fast Pearson led all his pirates out this time. There were three pirate ships, carrying nearly a hundred pirates!

What makes Pearson feel gratified is that the sea in front of him seems to feel his urgent desire. There is no sudden storm or the roaring sea wind like thousands of horses. The vast sea is calm and calm, with only the rolling waves gently lapping. Touching the hull...

Just when Pearson was planning the place to go ashore to rob with great ambition, a pirate ran in in a panic: "Boss! Oh no, there are pirates ahead!"

Pearson was stunned for a moment, then kicked the pirate to the ground hard: "Asshole! We are pirates! I don't care what you did before, at least you are a pirate under my command now!"

The pirate who was kicked down could only say with a sad face: "But...but Mr. Pearson, there is really a pirate ship outside, such a big one..."

Hearing this, Pearson's eyes narrowed slightly. His fellow pirates were enemies. Could it be that his fellow pirates came here to steal his livelihood?

Damn it! A bunch of bastards who have been stabbed a thousand times!

Accompanied by a group of thugs, Pearson angrily walked out of the cabin and came to the deck.

There were no telescopes in this era... Therefore, he had to rely on his naked eyes to watch the ship not far away.

And on the top of the ship's flagpole, a black skull pirate flag was fluttering in the wind.

hateful! It’s really a pirate ship!

I just feel... why is that ship a bit... big?

Pearson suddenly realized the problem. The size of the ship... seemed to be much larger than the pirate ship he called it!

Moreover, before this time, I had never seen such a ship in the territorial waters of the Kingdom of Basel...

…

"That's right! That's Kelvin's right-hand man, Pearson's pirate ship!" On the three-masted sailboat, Captain Jack looked at the three pirate ships not far away and said in a deep voice.

"I just didn't expect that this time he would lead all his pirates out!"

"All out?" Mal Cullen said with a smile, "That's just enough to bury them all here! Herald, take down the pirate flag and have someone raise the flag of our Idar territory for me!"

"yes!"

…

At this moment, on the deck of the pirate ship, looking at the slowly raised flag representing the Idar territory of the Norman Empire, Pearson felt extremely angry.

In Pearson's view, the tragic failure he encountered while plundering the Cape Saltworks was the reason for his unstable status!

After all, among the coral island pirates, no pirate has ever been beaten head-on when going ashore to rob, so much so that he was beaten so hard that he ran for his life in a hurry.

Shame on you!

Therefore, this made him hate the Idar people extremely!

Damn it...I've already left, but you still chase me into the waters of the Kingdom of Basel to cause trouble for me?

For Pearson, this was simply a great shame and a trample on his character!

"Asshole! What are you afraid of? Aren't their ships just bigger? We have three pirate ships here! I don't believe you can't beat them three against one!" Pearson said angrily.

"Send a signal to the other pirate ships to speed up! Surround them! I don't believe it. If you can't beat the Idar people on land, how can you beat them in the sea? This is the home ground of our pirates! A few months ago they They don’t even have a warship. Now I don’t know where to get a big ship for me to show off my power? Even though the Idar people have extremely strong combat power on land, I don’t believe it. How can they, a group of landlubbers, do it? Defeat us at sea?" Pierson yelled angrily.

"Don't use trebuchets, just rush up and engage them in a boarding battle!"

Although he is somewhat disdainful of the Idar people's naval strength, Pearson is very covetous of the Idar people's big ship. If he can capture that big ship...

Then you will be prosperous!

So, under the command of Pearson, the three pirate ships sailed straight towards the Idar warship with great momentum!

The sallow-looking pirates were sharpening their knives and looking at the huge warship with three masts not far away.

That ship... is so big!

However, pirates are not vegetarians either!

Most of the pirates on the window have been crawling around in the sea for many years, and they have lived their lives licking blood from the tips of their knives. Therefore, the pirates at this moment are actually quite excited.

Because the bigger the ship is and the tougher it looks, it means more gains will be made after this battle!

Let those Idar people have a taste of the power of Basel Pirates!

Many pirates had already drawn their swords, waiting for the two ships to engage in a beautiful boarding battle.

Although the Idar people used magic crystal bombs to kick open the door to the era of hot weapons, it was only the Idar territory.

Therefore, the naval warfare methods of this era were still very backward and primitive.

Using the collision angle of the ship's bow for collision, long-range attacks by trebuchets, and soldiers jumping over the gang of ships to engage in boarding battles are the most important ways of conducting naval battles in this era.

But what surprised the pirates was that when the Idar warship faced the oncoming pirate ship, it exposed its side to the pirates.

This undoubtedly surprised Pearson...

This is... what operation? Could it be that the Idar people he faced were really fools who didn't understand naval warfare?

But at this point, Pearson had no time to think too much.

Because... the Idar people's trebuchet finally started at this moment!

Without warning, dozens of trebuchets on the Idar warships unleashed their power, and dozens of magic crystal bombs fell from the sky.

Pearson is actually not too afraid of the trebuchet. After all, the accuracy of the trebuchet is extremely limited most of the time. Being able to hit it once or twice after ten attacks is considered very good.

But...somehow, as the object thrown by the trebuchet got closer and closer to the pirate ship, an ominous premonition suddenly arose in Pearson's heart...

What the Idar people threw... didn't seem to be stones, right?

At this moment, a magic crystal bomb hit the pirate ship where Pearson was.

Looking at the crystal clear crystal with strange marks on it, UU read www. uｕkanshu.net The pirates were filled with doubts.

But in the next second, the situation suddenly changed!

As the halo emanating from the crystal became stronger and stronger, a dull loud noise suddenly erupted on the deck of the pirate ship in the midst of the lightning.

boom!

At this moment, dozens of magic crystal bombs that were thrown out finally exploded!

Accompanied by a loud sound like lightning and thunder...

A huge hole was blown out of the deck of the pirate ship, and the mast of the pirate ship was completely broken. The broken pirate flag fell into the sea carried by the sea wind. From almost every corner of the pirate ship, there were reports of pirates who had been injured by the bombing. moans.

Pearson was also shocked by this wave of explosions. Looking around, sawdust flying, the pirate ship was in a mess.

What the hell is this?
