Set Sail! Storm in the Caribbean! Chapter 16 Charge at Sea!!

Chapter 16 Charge at Sea!!

Captain Armand had some doubts about Fang Senyan claiming to be a sailor from the East - even in the real world, it is common for employees to exaggerate when applying for a job - but after seeing his performance, his doubts were immediately dispelled. No matter how good a person is at pretending, he can never fake the stability and calmness that only old sailors can have in the face of the power of the sea!

The unlucky guy Kerry's leg injury was not fully healed. After being bumped on the boat, he vomited a lot and almost vomited out bile. However, Kerry's previous emphasis on his close relationship with Fang Senyan also played a big role at this time. Ben Mogan, who suffered the most at Fang Senyan's hands, ran up and down to serve him. It seems that he wanted to take a roundabout way to save the country and let this cousin/lifesaver say a few good words in front of Fang Senyan to avoid the tragic fate of being kicked out of the cabin and sleeping outdoors for a night again.

The wind on the sea gradually grew stronger, and the waves also rose and fell layer by layer. Just looking at the ups and downs, there was a majestic and irresistible force between heaven and earth. If you look down from above, the Bell and Cup, with a displacement of 600 tons and a crew of 200 people, is like a fallen leaf, floating in the vast ocean, and it seems that it will be overturned at any time.

But at this moment, a huge light suddenly flashed in the sky in the distance! It was as if a dazzling lightning flashed through the sky in an instant. At this moment, the skin of all those who looked at the lightning was stained with a layer of luster, as if the lightning had come alive and floated on their skin, and even the pupils became lonely. The lookout on the mast, Buwat, had already called out loudly:

"The Flying Dutchman has sent a signal!"

"The enemy is in the west, eleven nautical miles away!"

Fang Senyan knew the origin of the light just now, because he had heard in the bar that the captain of the legendary pirate warship Queen Anne's Revenge, Blackbeard, was proficient in black magic. This was the prominent warning sign he released, but this magic had no attack power at all. It can be regarded as a large-scale fireworks version of Pirates of the Caribbean. In Pirates of the Caribbean 4, Blackbeard was even able to put legendary pirate ships such as the Black Pearl into a rum bottle as a collection, which shows how good his black magic ability was.

Seeing the fireworks, Armand's body was as straight as a gun, and he didn't know when he had put on a dark black commander's hat on his head. With a "clang", he pulled out the rapier at his waist and shouted:

"Full left rudder! Hoist the triangular sail, full speed to the west!"

At this time, Armand's whole body flashed with dazzling white light, and under the direction of his sword, the entire ship was shrouded in a layer of faint white light. Obviously, the ship's special ability: wind sliding has begun to take effect, and the speed is greatly increased when sailing against the wind! The speed of this pirate ship increased again, and it accelerated to the west. According to Fang Senyan's visual estimation, the increase in its moving speed is at least 30!

Although the ship accelerated, when it entered the battlefield, the battle there was already in full swing! There is no doubt that the Black Pearl, the king of speed in the Caribbean, is always the first to arrive at the battlefield and launch an attack, followed by the Endeavour, which also has the ability to accelerate. The two warships of the Invincible Armada were forced to appear to fight. Then the Flying Dutchman arrived and sent a signal. When the Bell and the Goblet broke through a huge wave and rushed into the battlefield, the three merchant ships had already appeared in front of them like unguarded lambs!

"Ready~fire!" Armand raised his silver rapier again! With that powerful downward swing, the Bell and the Goblet leaned to the right, and at the same time, ten tongues of fire spit out from the left! The white mist filled the air, and the ten cannons on the port side began to fire. But the Spanish merchant Fernandez was notorious for selling black slaves in the early days, so how could he be a pushover? His three ships were no less than warships in terms of draft and tonnage, and were truly armed merchant ships. The ten cannons of the Bell and Shell fired, and only two or three of them were successful, which did not pose any major threat to the tough armed merchant ships!

However, Armand did not seem to have much hope for the bombardment of his own ship. After a few rounds of symbolic bombardment, he directly ordered to speed up and approach, preparing for a boarding battle! For the captains of the pirate ships, this is also their favorite practice, because once the boarding is successful, they can not only plunder as much wealth as possible, but also seize the entire merchant ship. Of course, the risk of boarding battles and the loss ratio of sailors are also quite amazing.

Despite the surging waves, the Bell and the Wineglass relied on their incredible speed to quickly sail parallel to the bulky merchant ship on the left, and the distance between the two was rapidly shortened! They were about to successfully board the ship, but at this moment, Fang Senyan felt a huge pressure coming from the left. This pressure was invisible and turbulent, not only difficult to resist, but also felt like being crushed to pieces if touched!

Fang Senyan immediately rushed out and lay flat on the deck. He took advantage of the situation and pulled down Kerry who was at a loss beside him. This guy just recovered and wanted to come out of the bottom cabin to breathe, but Fang Senyan grabbed his ankle and dragged him down. He fell face down, blood gushed out of his nose, and even two of his front teeth were almost knocked out. This guy was whimpering and barely raised his head to curse, but at that moment he was horrified to see: the board of the merchant ship on the left suddenly crackled open, revealing a row of neat black gun muzzles, densely packed and pointing straight at him. When everyone was still a little overwhelmed, a full 37 brand-new heavy cannons produced in Setka-Zhiboljovka Arsenal simultaneously spewed out terrifying flames!

At this moment, the high-speed Bell and Wineglass suddenly trembled, and moved sideways seven or eight meters, as if it was pushed hard from the left by an invisible giant hand. At least twenty heavy solid shells successfully hit its hull. It can be clearly seen that a large cloud of dust and smoke burst out on the right side of the Bell and Wineglass. It was a tragic scene composed of a large number of broken wood fragments and even flesh and blood! Fernandez, the owner of this merchant ship, was so good at forbearance that he did not reveal his trump card until this time!

After this round of volleys, the Bell and Wineglass suffered heavy losses. Because of the upcoming boarding, at least 70% of the pirates gathered on the deck with great excitement. This round of volleys, which was painstakingly planned, also caused at least one-third of the casualties. Some of the pirates were even pushed into the sea alive by the air waves raised by the shells. Among the casualties, the first mate Scar Henry was among them. This burly and generous giant was hit on the head by a basin-sized shipboard fragment at high speed because he wanted to rescue his companion. Not only did his head bleed like a river, but he also fell into a coma, and his life or death was unknown.

Fortunately, the cannons of this era were still in a relatively backward state. After firing once, they had to go through complicated and tedious procedures such as cleaning the barrel and reloading the gunpowder. Moreover, for Fernandez, his main job was still a businessman, not a soldier, and the sailors he hired were not skilled professional gunners. The firing interval during this period was dragged out for a relatively long time. This undoubtedly gave the battle-hardened Armand enough time to counterattack!

"Turn the rudder 70 degrees!"

At this time, Armand's body was still upright, only his hawk-like eyes were particularly sharp and vicious. His voice was like a whip, whipping the pirates next to him! They immediately jumped up instinctively and executed the order.

"Sail three! Starboard side to the wind!"

"Lower four sails!"

As these orders were issued, Armand strode to the main mast, raised the rapier in his hand, flicked it, and the huge main sail slid down in an instant, with a whoosh, and the silver rapier in Armand's hand emitted a dazzling white light, covering the entire ship, echoing the ramming horn at the tip of the bow. The entire Bell and Goblet actually began to turn sideways in an instant. When it was hit by the cannon, it was parallel to the merchant ship, so now this rapid change of direction formed a T-shaped state with the merchant ship!

At this moment, the waves rushed towards us like a wall, but the Bell and Goblet broke through the huge waves at this moment, splashing water all over the sky, and relying on the high-speed inertia that had not yet been eliminated, it madly crashed into the enemy ship!

If the Bell and Goblet was like a slender and tough willow leaf drifting in the vast ocean before, then at this moment, when its captain completely dominated it! The pirate ship then became the sharp edge of the silver rapier in his hand! Slender, elegant, cruel, and indestructible! With a reckless madness, he stabbed the enemy in the abdomen!
