The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 486 Surprise Attack

"What is that?"

Suddenly, a pirate pointed nervously to the western sea, his voice trembling slightly with fear.

"It looks like something's coming."

The pirate beside him also noticed something amiss, squinting as he tried to see through the thick fog to make out who it was.

Jack, Barbossa, and the other pirate kings quickly took out their binoculars.

Unfortunately, a thick fog completely obscured everything.

However, they did hear strange noises coming from the waves, which grew louder and louder, as if some enormous creature was breaking through the waves.

"It's a fleet, and a large fleet at that."

Jack's ears were exceptionally sharp. He frowned slightly and, relying on his years of experience at sea, keenly assessed the situation.

After saying that, he unconsciously raised his pinky finger, and his signature comical appearance now seemed a bit tense.

"These are the reinforcements you found?"

Jack turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding pirates, and asked loudly.

The pirates looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and doubt.

How is that possible?

They didn't call for any reinforcements at all, and judging from their demeanor, the newcomers didn't seem friendly.

At the same time, the British military also discovered something unusual in the western sea area.

However, the British general was full of confidence; in his mind, the Royal Navy was invincible.

Even if these are reinforcements for the pirates, so what? We can wipe them out in one fell swoop, and maybe even take this opportunity to completely eliminate the pirate forces in this area and achieve a great feat.

Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, the first warship burst out of the fog like a giant beast suddenly emerging from the deep sea.

"My God, what kind of ship is that??"

It's unclear who was the first to exclaim in surprise.

The warship was 200 meters long and 40 meters wide. Its enormous size made it look like a fortress floating on the sea, which should not be a product of this era.

Compared to it, the British Navy's proudest and most powerful warships are like insignificant infants, appearing small and fragile in its presence.

As time went by, 100 equally enormous warships appeared one after another like ghosts, neatly arranged on the sea.

It brought endless pressure to the pirates and the navy.

For a moment, both the pirates and the navy were speechless at the sudden sight, and the entire sea fell into a deathly silence.

Only Jack reacted first. A hint of fear flashed in his eyes. With the keen intuition he had accumulated over years of adventure, he sensed an unprecedented danger.

This danger was a warning from the depths of his soul, which made him turn the rudder sharply without hesitation.

Under Jack's control, the Black Pearl quickly turned around.

"What are you doing, Jack??"

"asshole??"

The surrounding pirates were angry and confused by Jack's actions, and they shouted curses at him.

But Jack paid no heed to the insults; he had only one thought in his mind: he would die if he stayed here any longer.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

Just then, countless shells rained down from those mysterious warships, crashing into the sea with destructive force.

The mysterious fleet launched a surprise attack, and unfortunately, both the navy and the pirates were within the range of this attack.

"Quickly, fight back!!"

The British general finally came to his senses and loudly issued the order.

Logically speaking, there should be a gap after a salvo, giving them time to react.

However, these cannons were special weapons meticulously crafted by fairies and enchanted by wizards, capable of firing continuously.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The deafening explosions shook the sea, causing waves to surge, and sailboats were hit by the bombardment.

Pirates and marines were thrown about, screams echoing throughout the battlefield. The wooden sailboats were utterly vulnerable to the powerful cannon fire, instantly destroyed and engulfed in flames.

Flames suddenly shot into the sky and thick smoke billowed from the sea. The two sides, who had been locked in a standoff, were thrown into chaos by this sudden attack.

Hundreds of dark wizards, like a horde of demons emerging from the abyss of darkness, stormed out of the first warship.

They straddled flying broomsticks, rushing towards the pirate and naval fleet like ghosts, their fluttering black robes and ferocious faces making them seem like messengers from hell.

"Oh my god! It's a wizard!!"

"How can there be so many wizards??"

The pirates and sailors screamed in terror, their eyes filled with fear and disbelief.

In the world of Pirates of the Caribbean, wizards do exist, but they are few in number and act in an extremely mysterious manner, like legendary phantoms, and very few people have ever truly witnessed their true appearance.

However, at this moment, hundreds of wizards appeared together, an unimaginable scene that plunged everyone into extreme panic.

The dark wizards would not show mercy just because the pirates and navy were stunned and bewildered.

The wands in their hands gleamed with an eerie light, and as they chanted incantations, evil spells shot out like arrows, instantly and mercilessly reaping the souls of the crowd.

Illusory beams of light were extracted from the victims' bodies, twisting and struggling in mid-air, emitting shrill screams, before being collected into specially made containers by the black wizards.

Faced with such a powerful and ferocious enemy, the Navy and the pirates, at a critical juncture of life and death, had no choice but to temporarily put aside their grudges and unite.

However, their outdated weapons were like children's toys in the face of the black wizard's powerful magic, utterly incapable of causing him any harm.

The bullets fired from the musket were deflected by an invisible magical shield some distance away from the dark wizard.

The launched cannonballs, just as they were about to approach the dark wizard, were magically altered in trajectory, exploding on the sea nearby and splashing high into the air.

Some dark wizards seemed not to be satisfied with simple killing; they began to torture these trapped enemies wantonly.

They cast all sorts of vicious spells on pirates and sailors, watching them struggle and scream in agony while a cruel smile spread across their faces.

Some dark wizards selected a group of pirates, tied them up, and planned to use them for various experiments.

Less than 10 minutes have passed since this group of mysterious wizards appeared.

The once seemingly massive navy and pirate fleet, consisting of nearly 500 sailing ships and a force of almost 2, crumbled instantly under the fierce attack of the black wizard.

Only Jack, with his superb navigation skills and keen intuition, managed to steer the Black Pearl and lead a ship full of pirates to a narrow escape from this calamity.

At this moment, everyone on board the Black Pearl was still in shock; their faces were pale and their bodies were trembling uncontrollably.
