Transcendent Journey

hua hua Wow——

The sea battle in the rain has completely begun.

At this time, the private fleet is full of cruise ships. When the opponent is a large-scale fleet, it is of course not suitable to use the battle line tactics of battleships lining up and bombing.

At the same time the artillery in the firing angle collectively ejects raging flames.

The fleet gives full play to its own speed advantage, and the whole team quickly interspersed with the breakthrough.

Four battleships lined up with the “Venus” as the head, like a sharp knife, slammed to the slave fleet from a 45-degree angle.

[Specifications] The displacement is 2340 tons, the length of the ship is 56.42 meters, the width is 14.90 meters, the sail area is 3213 square meters, the capacity is 450 people, and the speed is 12 knots (the monsoon Goddess and the ocean current horn are not activated).

[Arms] Double-layer through artillery deck: 28 32-pounder guns, 28 24-pounder guns, and 2 24-pounder bow guns.

In both sides of the war, no matter what kind of data, “Venus” occupies absolute dominance.

The speed of other Fifth Level ships after Ivan’s targeted modification is inherently faster than the speed of a fully loaded brig mixed sailing ship.

When the fleet charges, it looks like a fast cavalry with the elephant Knight as the vanguard!

even more how Ivan also activated the effect of [Ocean Treasure·Horn of Ocean Current], creating a high-speed ocean current under the assault fleet, allowing the fleet to accelerate again.

hu hu ——

At this time, it seems that the entire sky and the entire sea have become their help.

“act recklessly pirate!

Command: adjust the three compass points to the right.

The gunner prepares, open the muzzle, and shoot parallel to them! “

Aboard the “Santa Cruz Merchant” as the flagship and pilot ship.

Captain Hobbien saw these pirates who did not know where they had emerged, and he really dared to do it himself, who belonged to the Santa Bambia Company.

It is like a noble who was offended by beggar, mixed with unbelievable anger, roaring and issuing his own orders.

For a battleship, this is the most correct tactic, which can give full play to its firepower advantage.

“How could it be so fast?!”

However, not long after his order was issued, he found that the four battleships on the opposite side had rushed to his eyes like flying, and thrust straight into himself. In the array.

The speed is even as fast as one’s own Level 4 ship, and the tactical maneuver of turning to the battle has not been completed.

bang! bang! bang! bang! …

The orange-yellow flame is shining in the rain.

During the close-range shooting of the stuck slave ship, the three Fifth Level ships mainly used chain bullets and grape bullets to kill the surface personnel of the slave ship, destroying the masts and restricting their mobility.

The looting is not a war. If the other party’s ships are sunk, wouldn’t it even be lost for the ammunition?

As the main force of the fleet, the “Venus” aimed its muzzle at the bloated buttocks of the Level 4 ship “Santa Cruz Merchant”.

The moment passed by.

“Fire!”

The 24-pound and 32-pound heavy artillery shells carried by the heavy cruiser ship roared out one by one in the unbelievable gaze of the opposing crew.

“Impossible ——!”

The 32-pounder gun can only be equipped by battleships above Level 3, and the hulls of ordinary battleships simply cannot withstand their counter shocks. This is almost a kind of common sense.

It was obviously a cruise ship but loaded with so many 32-pounder guns. The crew of the battleship stared with wide-eyed eyes. It was almost like seeing a ghost.

The artillery of “Venus” didn’t care about their thoughts, and followed the training tactical procedures step by step.

At this time, the cruise ship had only two continuous decks, and the top deck was still open-air design.

After predicting the weather, Ivan had already ordered the pirates to set up a rain cover in advance to ensure that all the artillery on the battleship deck could fire normally.

It may not work in pouring heavy rain, but at present this kind of moderate rain which is not very windy is not a problem.

After a few minutes, the two sides completely separated.

The triumphant results of the three cruisers were impressive, and only one raid cut the fleet’s formation to pieces.

Two other slave ships had their front masts with horizontal sails cut off, almost completely losing their mobility.

However.

“How did it work?!”

In contrast, the “Venus” whose main target was on the battleship was really embarrassing.

Although the interspersed time is extremely short, especially although the pirate gunners cannot reach the speed of the elite navy after emergency training, the 28 32-pounder guns only had time to shoot once on average.

But…

Until it left the shooting angle range, the “Santa Cruz Merchant” was almost unscathed!

Be aware that the heavy-duty cruise ship is equipped with a 32-pounder gun that can break the keel of an enemy ship at close range!

The gunners and gunners from the 24 navy members on the “Venus” were ashamed and desperate, and felt that they had completely failed the trust of the captain.

If it weren’t for the war, he could just pull out his gun and drink bullets and kill himself.

However, in the meantime, Ivan also discovered the anomaly on the opponent’s ship from another angle.

Every time a shell should fall on the opponent’s battleship, the brightness of the solidified spell covering the battleship will change.

Every time it flashes, it will cause various accidents, allowing the shells to shoot into the air, especially when the target is a relatively small poop.

“The bows on the Level 4 ship are indeed weird!”

I came to a conclusion silently. When the two fleets passed by, Ivan issued a new order.

The three cruisers returned with full rudder to continue to attack the slave fleet, while the “Venus Star” left the team and propelled itself and rushed to the “Santa Cruz Merchant” again.

“The gunner is ready! Let’s do it again!”

From the moment when the Level 4 ship passed by, the guns on the ship fired one after another.

bang! bang! bang! …

The results of this time were slightly better. A 24-pounder shell finally hit the opponent’s poop, but it still didn’t. Can give it a chill as you imagined.

It only penetrated a few cabins and fell obliquely into the sea, and even the personnel were not able to kill a few.

At the same time, the cruise ship was reloaded, but it was also hit by the 6-pound artillery placed on the stern of the battleship. Although the heavy cruise ship was thick and heavy, it didn’t hurt at all, but the contrast was also It is too abnormal.

Simply can’t be explained by using artillery to be unskilled.

From start to finish on the “Santa Cruz Merchant”, the captain Hobbien and Ivan, who stood at the command post in the stern tower, looked at each other and saw the heavy artillery fired by the “Venus Star” once again without It won.

Even if he was shocked by the fierce firepower of this cruise ship, he cheered up and laughed, seemingly indifferent:

“hahaha, no battleship can bring luck in a naval battle The “Santa Cruz Merchant” was sunk, even if it was a Level 1 ship!”

On the surface, it was a mockery of the pirates on the opposite side, but in fact it was almost scared by the firepower of the Venus The crew members with weak legs took a reassurance pill.

And his confidence is that it hasn’t been long since it’s been installed on the battleship [Head of the ship·Lucky Gold Coin]

The appearance is a bare-bottomed wooden little angel. Holding a shiny Gold Coin in both hands.

Effect: The “chain accident technique” is solidified, so that the battleship has a certain probability of exempting the attack (not hitting).

Of course, although this immunity is powerful, it is not omnipotent. Shooting at close range is one of the most effective methods.

As much as possible to reduce the probability of accidental factors, you can greatly weaken the effect of the ship’s bow.

After two trials and a reminder from Milan who is the cultivation home next to him, Ivan quickly discovered this.

Looking back at the three cruise ships behind him that had already knocked down the slave ships, and even the “Iron Bones”, which had a slightly slower speed than the other two ships, had already shook his head with the enemy Fifth Level ship. “No.” launched a fierce battle with the ship.

The killing sound shook the sky, scaring the enemy courageous!

“ao ——”

“Kill!”

Especially one of the wolf roars, people can’t help but look at him.

Since the division of the navy and pirates under his command, Ivan soon found a new material that is very suitable for making “activated animal skins”, and then finally extended his claws to land creatures.

That is the continent gray wolves everywhere in the northern forest of the new continent during this period!

This is a large canine living in the northern forest of the new continent. It may even be the largest wolf within the scope of human exploration.

The body surface has gray and white fur. The average weight can reach 90kg, the shoulder height is 90 cm, the body length is 250 cm, and the bite force is 700 pounds.

And unlike most large sharks that can be used in the production of “activated skins” but like to live alone, wolves are caught in a large group.

Moreover, wolves are generally composed of family members of the same homology. Although limited to a strict hierarchy and territorial scope, the number of members in the wolf group is impossible, but the largest group has close to forty heads. .

It is enough for Ivan to make “activated animal skins”, and it has greatly improved the production efficiency of “activated animal skins”.

Especially now that the second discipline Calvin has become a wizard apprentice of the living chemistry school, Ivan can be given hands to do some simple auxiliary work, so that the production capacity of activated animal skins can be greatly increased.

The pirate cadres of the “Iron Bone” were the first users of this animal skin. At this time, they had screamed and turned into humanoid hungry wolves and pounced on their opponents. The battleship, set off a foul wind and bloody rain.

The escort team members who have long been consumed by the ease of life are not their opponents at all.

Ivan has decided to slowly expand the equipment range of “activated animal skins” and establish a series of assessment systems.

In addition to the pirate cadres, as long as they make enough contributions, they can also get this kind of powerful equipment immediately!

His team is making rapid progress, so I can’t lag behind.

It’s just a trifling fleet, and even with some tricks, the final outcome will never change.

“Seize the upper hand, get close and shoot in parallel!”

Even if it has been changed to a cruiser, the hull of the Venus, which was originally a Level 3 ship, is more than one. The Level 4 ship is not much shorter.

Ivan has enough confidence in the opponent, and before the ten 9-pounder guns that are also exposed to wind and rain can exert their formidable power, he will let the opponent lose his resistance first.

Huh—

Under the dual effects of the “Monsoon Goddess” and the “Ocean Current Horn”, the “Venus” drew a large arc across the water.

The billowing black sails combined with the streamlined hull, like an elegant black swan across the sea, approached the “Santa Cruz Merchant” again.

Compared with cruise ships, they are almost clumsy Level 4 ships, and there is no time to adjust the engagement posture.

And this time the target of the cruiser is no longer the narrow poop, but on the starboard side of the battleship.

“Attention all the gun crew, solid bullets, fire!”

bang! bang! bang! bang! bang! …

“Venus “The distance between the two when they cut into the parallel posture is only fifty meters. If they can shoot into the air without committing suicide, Ivan will sink this bunch of waste into the sea.

And the adjustment of tactics this time, they finally realized the pleasure of heavy patrol and crushing Tongji!

Even if it has the shelter of the “head portrait·lucky Gold Coin”, it will not change the destined outcome of the battleship.

Boom——! ! !

It was just a volley of fire. The heavy artillery shells carried irresistible kinetic energy and easily penetrated the hull of the “Santa Cruz Merchant”, hitting the lower deck and the gun group during the continuous bounce. All sorts of things.

The large chain bomb fired by the 24-pounder gun on the open deck even swept the deck of the Level 4 ship, easily cutting off its fore mast.

“Report to the captain, it’s not good, two shots on the waterline, the bottom tank has been seriously flooded!”

Hobbyn’s face changed drastically, and he realized the limitations of the ship’s head portrait. Sex can no longer be a barrier to one’s own side. He quickly turned around and shouted to his side:

“Rice wizard!”

hearing this thin black robe old man did not speak, cold He glanced at the Venus, which was still venting fire from fifty meters away.

Take out a gourd-shaped flute from the robe and place it on his lips, and place a black-lacquered wide-mouth clay pot under his feet.

wu wu ——

In the muffled sound of the flute.

His! hiss! hiss! …

Snake neighing suddenly resounding on the boat made people chill.

At the same time, from the clay pot under his feet, a line of blue and purple smelly smoke burst out suddenly!
