The Final Evolutionary Quest! The Origin of the Black Pearl! Chapter 18: The Powerful Dreadnought
Chapter 18 The Powerful Dreadnought
Sheyan no longer paid attention to what was going on on the deck. After all, what happened today was enough for these pirates to digest, so he turned around and left. The two newly captured ships had not been inspected yet, and maybe some good things could be discovered. Can't explain things clearly. And his reputation among pirates has now risen to an incredible level, and it is almost impossible for him to cause any trouble. The other pirates didn't know how much they envied Canby's luck, and they were even more determined to stay in this team.
It can be said that Sheyan received an unexpected surprise during his inspection this time. He unexpectedly found two pieces of special plot equipment---but they were only for ships---on this Royal Navy ship. What was found on board the vessel was:
Lisbon "McKinney" schooner
Category: Sails
Place of Origin: Lisbon
Equipment nature: special plot equipment (it can only be installed on plot battleships and cannot be carried out of this world.)
Equipment rarity: dark blue
Material: coarse canvas
Additional devices available: None
Effect: After being installed on a ship, it can provide an additional 5% movement speed than an ordinary schooner.
Installation location: mast
Explanation: The climate in 1689 was very suitable for the growth of flax, so the flax harvest was bumper that year. The quality of the thick canvas produced by McKinney Workshop in that year received an extremely good reputation and evaluation, and the thick canvas they produced was used. The fore-and-aft sail therefore has better and more excellent performance.
There was something good that Sheyan had always wanted to get on the pirate ship:
Symbol of Tegui
Category: Collision angle
Origin: Caribbean Savage Island
Equipment nature: special plot equipment (it can only be installed on plot battleships and cannot be carried out of this world)
Equipment rarity: black
Material: chitin, bone density
Optional additional devices: iron hoop
Effect: After being installed on a ship, it can cause 2.5 times the normal impact damage to enemy ships, and the chance of tearing the enemy's hull increases by 33%.
Installation location: bow
Explanation: During the adventure three years ago, Blood Anchor led a group of people to the Savage Island and plundered an indigenous tribe called Teji. They obtained a very powerful long sword from this tribe. tooth. It was identified as a narwhal tusk.
Because Blood Anchor left no one alive when he plundered the tribe, no one knows why the narwhal's tusk, which only lives in the Arctic, appeared in the Caribbean. But one thing is certain: this tusk is very powerful. So after the Blood Anchor was punished and sent to Kit's ship, he made the tusk into a horn and placed it on the bow of the ship.
With this collision angle, it can be said that the conventional boarding battle process has been simplified. There is no need for any rope hook jumping gang at all, and it is just a living collision against the belly of the enemy ship. Once the violent collision tears the enemy's hull apart, the bow can be cut deeply into the enemy's hull very simply, and the two ships will even become one for a short time. Boarding an enemy ship is a simple matter of one move.
When Fang Senyan started to direct the men to install the collision horn, a pirate suddenly pointed to the sky behind him and said:
"Master Sivale has given the signal to return, and today's battle should be over."
Fang Sheyan immediately turned around and saw a curved light rising into the sky from the core battlefield dozens of nautical miles away. It should be something similar to a signal flare soaring upward. Looking at the momentum of the light beam, it seems that it is going directly to the sky, leading to the deep and mysterious depths of the sky.
As the signal flare was raised, all the pirate ships began to gather together in one place, but at this moment, a seven-masted ship suddenly rushed out of the British Royal Fleet. It looked like it was the latest heavy-duty karaoke for assault. The Vale sailing ship is one of the three main battleships of the British Royal Navy, Norrington's flagship Dreadnought!
It can be seen that this powerful ship is not afraid of the pirates who are grouped together by itself. It feels like facing the enemy's thousands of troops. It still bravely goes out to fight single-handedly, and the sword is drawn. General!
After sailing for several nautical miles, the Intrepid suddenly made a sharp turn. The entire ship swung sideways, pulling out a magnificent arc of white waves on the sea, and then pointed its starboard side at the crowds of people in front of it. Pirates! Just the next second, the cannon roared, and the indescribable loud noise instantly covered up even the sound of the tide of the sea!
What's even more astonishing is that all 106 thirty-two-pound cannons on the Intrepid roared at the same time, so they also ended at the same time. This immediately created an auditory gap. After the entire world seemed to be still for a few seconds, The pirate ships suddenly made a continuous and dull swaying sound, and then there was a violent explosion like a gunpowder magazine being detonated, followed by strong winds and waves!
The faces of Sheyan and the three of them were a little pale. The contractor's eyesight was already extraordinary. They could clearly see that when the Fearless opened fire, a large number of dense thirty-five-pound shells were overwhelming and directly crushed it. , the terrifying power contained in it effortlessly destroyed all obstacles, and the gathered pirates sank at least three ships in an instant.
After achieving such a great victory, the shells still had the power to fly, and the seven-masted ship behind was also hit with wood chips flying everywhere. Even the main masts of two or three large ships were broken very cleanly, and they fell down with indescribable bangs and creaks, splashing water all over the sky. Next, the pirate ship whose gunpowder magazine was hit exploded violently!
"In an instant, it can pour out several times the usual firepower output at the enemy like a rocket launcher. Is this the special skill of the legendary warship Dreadnought?" Fang Senyan muttered to himself.
"The weakness is also obvious. As long as it avoids this abandonment, the Dreadnought will have no ammunition. Once it is boarded, it will face a large group of gunners..."
At the moment when the Dreadnought fired, he, who had extremely strong perception, immediately felt the powerful threat from death. Obviously, even with Fang Senyan's current strength, it is absolutely impossible to compete head-on with these top-level objects in the Caribbean world. However, for Fang Senyan, it seems that there is no need to do such a thing in a short time.
"Set sail, it's time to leave." Fang Senyan said lightly: "Raise the sail! Target Tertuga, maximum speed."
A pirate hurriedly took the order and left, and then Fang Senyan thought about it and added:
"Remember to sink the pirate ship of Blood Anchor, and only take the British warships we captured."
Fang Senyan fought a total of Fang Senyan chose to leave the battlefield when both sides were in the most chaotic time. The scale of ships involved in this naval battle was very astonishing, and Norrington's performance at the end was too powerful, attracting the attention of most people, so they left silently without attracting the attention of others.
Although the "Ritchie" of Old Bass is quite good, it is a warship that focuses on gun positions, and it takes a lot of effort to transform it. Therefore, Fang Senyan's flagship at this time is still the "Sam" that Philip served in the first place.
In order to conceal his tracks and slow down the time of falling out with the West Waller Pirate Group, Fang Senyan sank all the pirate ships, but he was still able to take away three less damaged three-masted "Gallen" galleys of the Royal Navy. This was because the ships themselves were a very considerable fortune, and this was without counting the weapons and equipment above.
The experience of the last Caribbean world has fully told Fang Senyan that if he wants to get ahead in this world, then a lot of money is indispensable. Especially for Fang Senyan, who has become a pirate captain at this time, he has to consider the food, drink, and defecation of nearly 200 people under his command! Feeding these greedy guys is the first principle.
More importantly, Fang Senyan is considering that the main idea of Caribbean Pirates is of course adventure and freedom, but almost all the stories and plots in this world are inseparable from ships and naval battles!
As for the plot characters that have been encountered in the process of carrying out the mission, it can be said that they pose no threat to Fang Senyan and his team at present, but! The difficulty of this world is still B-level. Although this difficulty is relatively low, it still means that during the mission, there will be processes or characters that threaten Fang Senyan and his life.
After Fang Senyan's careful analysis, he believes that the difficulty should be mainly reflected in the vast ocean. To give a very simple example, Fang Senyan and his team can easily kill a hundred guys like Old Sea Dog, but if they are on the sea, the three of them are on a small boat and encounter a fast sailing gunboat driven by even fifty pirates with strength close to Old Sea Dog. Then there is no doubt that Fang Senyan and his team will die miserably:
The range of the cannon is farther than that of Mogansha, and once a small boat sinks, even a strong contractor cannot survive in the ocean for a long time. After continuous swimming reaches the limit of the body, the health value will continue to decrease.
At this time, there were still more than thirty hours left before the main mission: the stipulated time of forty-eight hours for departure. However, in order to arrive at the pirate neutral port of Tetuga in advance, Fang Senyan commanded the fastest flagship "Sam" to go first, and then allocated half of the manpower to the other ships, letting them slowly sail with the wounded on board.
