Chapter 275 Ambush at Sea
After shaking hands, the previous little friction naturally dissipated.
Whatever it is, at least wait until the present trouble is over.
Captain Duck told him clearly that many of the veterans on this ship who served under him in the past became sailors after retiring.
Tu Fu also shared the information he had with the former Ryan Navy officer.
Including the current status of the members of the Blue Warrior Pirates, the distribution of artillery on the ship, and the time since the Duncan was tracked.
Except for the information about the mermaid, he revealed all the findings he saw through surveillance.
If he wasn't worried about his recovery, he would simply teleport to the pirate ship and kill the white shark. There was really no need to discuss the plan with Captain Duck.
"Sir, do you think they will attack tonight."
In the other party's captain's room, Tu Fu looked at the sea map together with him. Captain Duck, who has rich experience in naval warfare, opened his mouth more and more:
"Of course, the time to launch the attack is probably tonight. According to what you said, they waited for three days except to stay away from the sea and avoid the ships of the Church of Storms.
More importantly, these pirates are also looking for a suitable place to commit crimes. The speed of the Duncan is 15 knots, which is far faster than ordinary ships. If it is a daytime battle, we can easily escape even if we cannot win.
And if we don't want to go further, we will enter a treacherous waters, where there are many mist, many hidden reefs, and many strange and terrifying underwater creatures.
Even an experienced helmsman will be careful to sail in such an area. Any ship entering that water must slow down, and the Duncan's speed advantage here is gone. "
"So as long as we drive into the trek area, it's their best time to start."
Tu Fu understood what Captain Duck meant.
"The pirates don't even need to use artillery, they can hide in the sea with the help of the fog there, once they get close to the ship, even if my crew fights hard, they can't hold back the opponent's numbers.
At that time, I was afraid that passengers who had no combat effectiveness would become lambs waiting to be slaughtered. This is what I should consider. "
Captain Dak Bryson explained to him the seriousness of the problem.
As far as the firepower of the two ships is about the same, but the other party specializes in plundering for a living, both in courage and momentum are far beyond ordinary passengers, so they must not be approached by pirates for close combat.
"So as long as the Duncan can leave this stray area, we can reach the nearest island to the Misty Sea in another day. There are patrol ships from the Church of the Storm there, enough to scare away this pirate group."
Captain Duck had a clear idea. They thought that there was no need to confront the pirate ship head-on, regardless of the probability of winning or losing after firing.
Since this is a passenger ship now, the lives of the passengers should not be gambled on an uncertain outcome.
That was too risky.
"So you just need to hold them back in that area, and you need some skills." Tu Fu looked up at him, and figured out what Captain Duck was thinking.
"Exactly, so later I will send a few crews who are proficient in water, and ask them to bring enough weapons and then take the small boat to stay in the trek area first, and use guns and artillery to delay the pirate group first.
It was too late when the White Sharks came to their senses, and that was for them to return to the Duncan or the small misty island in a small boat along the compass direction. "
"This plan sounds a little risky."
"But we have to take risks now."
Captain Dak Bryson's eyes showed determination.
The former naval captain naturally knew that someone must stand up in such a crisis, and someone must stand up and carry forward his style.
And Tu Fu fell silent immediately after hearing the plan, which was indeed a good idea.
A small number of people are used to hold the ship to ensure that the passengers can leave safely, but it is still unknown whether they can return smoothly after dealing with the ferocious pirates in many uncertain trek areas on the reef.
And all of this is because of him.
In just ten minutes or so, Captain Duck had already awakened all the resting crew members. Except for the driver of the ship and some gunners and engineers, the sailors and guards on board began to gather in large numbers.
They uniformly equipped with muskets and sabers and began to gather on the deck. When this time node was awakened, everyone knew that something big had happened.
Captain Dak Bryson looked at them solemnly, and repeated what Tu Fu had said about the pirate attack,
Speak in a relatively relaxed tone:
"Everyone, the current situation is really bad. Someone is trying to plot against the passengers on our ship. Since we have collected their ticket money, we should show some performance in this crisis."
"Captain, you can just say what you think, and let us do the execution of the plan."
The first officer on the ship seemed to understand something, and gritted his teeth to respond.
All the crew members had different expressions when they heard the news. Some of them clenched their sabers with red eyes, while others clenched their teeth resentfully, thinking about something in their hearts.
"Gentlemen, now I need a group of people who can swim and are proficient in navigating small boats. Bring your weapons and stay in small boats in the waters ahead, and do as much harassment as possible to let the big boats leave the lost area first."
Although Captain Duck had already made a decision, he always felt a little uncomfortable saying this in front of the crew.
None of these veterans who have been at sea for many years do not know the meaning of the captain's words.
The tactic of exchanging time for space,
The point is what to use in exchange for time.
Sophisticated equipment, superb ship skills, or life-saving...
But as soon as he finished speaking, many members of the crew raised their hands.
"I'm here, I've seen these whores are not pleasing to the eye, and it's time to teach them a lesson."
"And me, to be honest, fighting pirates is my old profession."
"Don't rob me, can you sail the boat?"
"Go away, you have only been studying at sea for a few years, and if you want to come, we old guys will come first."
"That's right, there are you guys, can you swim? Don't embarrass yourself with the past, we can't afford to lose this person."
The first responders were naturally the veterans who served with Captain Dak. They were the first to understand the captain's intentions, and they accepted the job after a lot of noise.
Then there are some newcomers who are eager to try. Naturally, they are excited to experience such a thing for the first time and want to be the first bird.
But in an instant, he was repulsed by the group of old hooligans who were swearing.
No one hates their vulgar tone, a group of people who are willing to risk their lives are shining all the time.
At this critical juncture of scrambling for the quota, a somewhat helpless male voice opened his mouth after sighing.
"Captain Duck, let me go too."
Tu Fu hesitated for a moment. Originally, he didn't want to care about anything, but after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to take on the trouble caused by him.
No one had more reason to deal with these pirates than he did.
"no……"
Hearing Dak Bryson's tone of refusal, Tu Fu whispered in the other's ear:
"To tell you the truth, I am actually an extraordinary person.
You should know that there is also a Sequence 7 Transcendent in the Blue Warrior Pirates, because his existence may wipe out all the people you sent out, if that is the case, then you can't change anything.
And since I am at least part of the ambush team, even if it is only for the safety of your crew, you should consider my proposal carefully. "
His words really moved Captain Duck's heart. It was really not the time to be impulsive when such a major matter as Chaofan was involved.
After several brow struggles, Dak Bryson had no choice but to accept his proposal after a sigh.
When saying goodbye, he said:
"good luck."
Tu Fu nodded silently, no one asked him to do this, but he simply wanted to do it.
The preparations for the ambush are not complicated, as long as you reach the trek area ahead.
At that time, including Tu Fu, there were a total of 24 crew members, and each team formed 4 teams of 6 people. After equipped with enough weapons and ammunition, they harassed and pinned down the pirate ship from different directions for one night.
Then, just return to the big ship when the time comes.
Every crew member who decided to get off the boat, even at this moment, pretended to be relaxed with a smile on their faces.
Captain Dak Bryson stared at the map and at the watch as he calculated the time they were about to spend.
The ticking of time sounded like a countdown to death.
Finally, after approaching a foggy area, Duck waved his hand and ordered the boat to be put down, looked at everyone's faces seriously and said:
"Well, gentlemen, you'd better move lightly.
Be careful not to disturb the sleeping passengers in the cabin. I think you will come back on time tomorrow and return to your posts on time to continue working hard, so don’t let anyone know about it.
As if... nothing had happened. "
