Chapter 255 Vampire Pirates

Bourne came to the captain's room and immediately picked up the telescope. He saw that three ships flying mercenary flags were being chased and attacked by one ship, and these three ships did not even have the courage to fight back.

Bourne looked towards the ship that looked like a hunter.

"Can this boat be driven?"

Bourne said incredulously.

The navigator at the side also said with a serious expression.

"Lord Bourne... this... this might be a vampire pirate!" The navigator on the ship turned out to be a Tyrell sailor. Many Tyrells along the coast would go out to sea in search of treasure, and he was recruited onto the ship because he was a senior crew member.

"Vampires? Pirates?"

Bourne looked at the ship. If it was a battleship, it was more like a wreck that had sunk for countless years and was pulled up from the bottom of the sea.

From afar, you can see seaweed, barnacles and various shellfish all over the deck.

If it were a normal ship, the captain would have thrown the crew members responsible for cleaning the deck into the sea long ago.

And the tattered sail, which is full of holes, allows it to sail much faster than the human ship in front.

After just a short while of observation, the vampire pirate's warship caught up with a human warship.

The pirates who sailed to the side of the human warship fired their ship's cannons the moment they were parallel.

Humans tried to fight back, but were quickly defeated.

After several rounds of shelling, the first human warship began to sink rapidly. The crew on board jumped into the sea before sinking, but they became living targets for the zombie pirates in the sea.

"It sank so quickly?"

This was Bourne's first experience of naval warfare.

"Captain, what should we do? Should we attack?" asked the crew member.

"Attack! Since these are undead creatures, there is no need to hesitate. Get ready for battle. This is a good opportunity for us to test the power of this battleship."

"Yes! Captain! Prepare to fight!"

The helmsman turned up the speed to maximum.

This steel monster rushed towards the battlefield at an unimaginable speed.

"Captain, the Mary has been sunk. We can't escape. We can't outrun that vampire ship!"

The battleship captain named Pierre was originally going to lead a fleet of three battleships to Lucia to search for treasure.

However, they were targeted by pirates after only a few days of sailing.

They tried to fight back, but they had no power to resist this warship that was pulled up by magic, not to mention that their crew was also put together in a hurry and had no combat tacit understanding at all.

"Yes, Count Noctilus... Shadow Ghost..."

He looked at the flag on the enemy ship and recognized its ownership and learned the name of the ship.

These famous vampire warships that sailed recklessly on the ocean had already spread to the continent through the mouths of survivors.

The warship in front of us is one of the warships under the command of Count Notras, the owner of the Ship Cemetery.

This vampire is a member of Manfred's family. He is tired of the power struggle in his family and decides to become a pirate.

He possesses a high talent for magic, and was even able to teleport his castle directly to a huge ocean whirlpool called the Ship Burial Ground.

It became his magical flagship, the Bloody Reaver!

Pierre gnashed his teeth.

"If only my crew were still here... These mercenaries don't know what naval warfare is!"

"Captain! Look what that is!"

Pierre swore that he saw the most shocking scene in his life.

A pitch-black steel monster was walking towards him at an extremely fast speed.

It looks even more hideous under the sunlight, and the huge waves seem like a joke in front of this warship.

The huge waves crashing against it could not shake it at all.

"boom!"

The huge sound of the cannon made Pierre cover his ears. "Is this warship firing? Such a big gun barrel... is it heading towards us? God of the sea..."

Just when Pierre thought he was dead again, a huge explosion occurred on the Shadow Ghost behind him.

The explosion ripped through the deck and shredded the sails.

A huge flame instantly engulfed the deck of the ghost battleship.

"Are you... coming to rescue us?"

When Pierre saw this, he felt like he was saved again!

Bourne's warship was speeding towards him, and Pierre only remembered seeing the golden double-headed eagle logo on the hull.

"Keep firing! Don't stop!"

Bourne was shouting in the captain's room, and the guns on the battleship continued to fire.

The Shadow Ghost was completely defenseless under such bombardment.

Even magical protection is of no avail.

Those gun compartments that were exposed outside had always been the main targets of attack, which made it impossible for the Shadow Ghost to even fight back.

If this battleship had not been awakened by magic, it would have been blown to pieces long ago without even a chance to slowly sink.

The Shadow Ghost had lost power, and the entire ship began to slowly sink due to the terrifying number of breaches.

Bourne's warship also came to the side and stopped. At this time, the entire vampire was eerily quiet, as if all the crew members were dead.

The crew member from Tyrell on the side was also watching curiously. He had never heard of any record of these sea ghosts being sunk.

"Lord Bourne...it seems we have won?"

"Yes... This battleship is too powerful. The things made by the priests have never disappointed us."

Bourne was very satisfied! The first battle of this steel battleship exceeded his expectations.

But at this time in the sea, a group of purple-faced humanoid creatures were approaching Bourne's warship from the bottom of the sea.

Soon they reached the bottom of the ship, and the undead under the warship began to climb up.

The artillery fire destroyed the ship but did not kill all the undead creatures.

These zombie-like crew members climbed towards the warship with simple firearms and broken swords.

Among them is the vampire captain of the Shadow Ghost.

Bourne's warship appeared so suddenly that he didn't even have a chance to fight back.

He could only watch his warship sink into the sea, but he was not worried. As long as he could capture this strange warship, his status in the eyes of the count would become even higher!

But how could such an advanced warship forget to defend against threats from the bottom of the ship?

Bourne was on the battleship looking at the large group of targets displayed by Shenna. He couldn't figure out what these things were, but he knew without thinking that they must be enemies.

"Let the jumping team prepare!"

"It's Lord Bourne!"

There was a large group of zombie pirates and a small number of corrupted crabs. It turned out that there were more than just these vampire units on the ship.

However, not all units can swim. For example, high-level infantry units such as Deep Sea Guard, which wear armor, cannot swim.

The armor on their bodies completely took them to the deep sea and was crushed by the pressure.

As the vampire general and his troops boarded the battleship, they did not see the panicked crew.

Instead, he saw a group of ogres wearing heavy armor.

"How could the ogre appear here?!"

Ogres are huge in weight and have a large appetite, which makes it almost impossible for such creatures to sail on the ocean.

However, this problem had no effect on Bourne's metal battleship, which only carried an extra ten or twenty tons of stuff.

Bourne directly brought up all the ogres that had been transformed into combat servants.

Others' troops are all lightly armored, but your troops are heavy-armored ogres?
Looking at the small muskets and swords in the hands of his men, the vampire pirate general really doubted whether he could break the armor.
