Chapter 867: Sea Battle

In the Black Hu sea area.

A huge fleet slowly assembled.

It can be seen that the scale of this fleet is absolutely huge, with hundreds of ships and more than 10,000 seamen.

The flagship of the core is Blackbeard's car—the Monster!

The Blackbeard flag representing the pirate governor of the Nightmare Sea was fluttering in the wind on the mast. In addition, there were many pirate flags of various colors on the periphery of the fleet.

Those pirates who really want to fight have already gathered here.

It can be said that the fleet at this time is the last pirate force in the Nightmare Sea.

Such a force, not to mention sweeping across the world, but the navy of any country on the Ofar continent cannot be said to be steadily superior.

Even the former Insman did not dare to attack Blackbeard brazenly, because he was afraid of a tragic victory and suffered heavy losses.

But at this time, the assembly of this fleet has a tragic flavor.

"Leader... the negotiator is back!"

Blackbeard's most trusted first officer stepped forward: "He brought back Insman's latest conditions, which require us to give up the sovereignty of Blackhu Island and Nightmare Sea, keep only one colony, and hand over 70% of all wealth! If If this is achieved, Insman's newly established ocean-going development company will accept us as privateer captains..."

Ocean Development Company, this is another new gadget created by Insman Kingdom.

The means of colonization are too dark, official means will inevitably leave stains, private people do not have so many scruples, and the operation of the company, with the pursuit of profit as the highest goal, is simple and efficient, and can also accept a certain amount of private capital Participate in operations.

"This is not a peace agreement, but a shameful unconditional surrender!"

Blackbeard stood up suddenly, and his iron foot made a series of noises on the deck: "Even if I fight to the last soldier, I will not surrender! Send the order and prepare to fight!"

"Your will will be enforced!"

The first officer hesitated to speak, but he still retreated obediently.

Soon, the huge fleet from Insman appeared in the sight of the Blackbeard Pirates.

Leading the charge were dozens of columns of black smoke that soared into the sky, like the cage of death, approaching constantly at a rapid speed.

Ordinary sailing ships can run at a speed of twenty knots at most, but these experienced pirates can understand that the speed of these ships is above twenty knots just by looking at them casually!

Soon, dense black spots appeared in the sky, getting bigger and bigger, and finally turned into giant steel mountains, with an unparalleled sense of oppression.

"They are all made of steel, even our biggest artillery can't cause any damage..."

"The smallest one is more than 100 meters long, not to mention the displacement, it is simply an iron mountain..."

"Even if we don't do anything, if we just hit it hard, our ship will definitely sink..."

The experienced old pirates obtained a large number of parameters from observation in an instant, and their faces turned pale.

Before I actually saw Insman's steel armada, I didn't understand the horror at all.

"You scumbags? What are you afraid of?"

On the Monster, Blackbeard's voice spread far and wide: "We are pirates! Free pirates! Masters of this sea!!! Now, someone wants to expel us, us sons of the sea, from our homes, who Can you agree?"

"cannot!"

In any case, the pirates who were still able to gather at this time were relatively determined to fight. Hearing this, they immediately drew out their weapons and yelled loudly.

"What's more, we are not fighting alone!"

Blackbeard continued to give an impassioned speech: "The Pirate Prince of the Golden Sea, the Mermaid King of the Coral Sea, and the Devil Sea and the Pirate Governor of the Star Islands are all supporting us! As long as we can get a little bit the size of a little finger Victory and advantage, their coalition forces will definitely dispatch without hesitation and tear Insman into pieces... At that time, its colonies and ports all over the world, and even the mainland, will bear the wrath of our pirates!"

"Son of the Nightmare Sea!"

"Long live!"

"for freedom!"

I have to admit that Blackbeard's words are still quite provocative.

And those pirates at the bottom, who obviously didn't know the fact that the coalition forces were gone, cheered chaotically.

Soon, the whole picture of Insman's steel armada appeared in the eyes of the pirates.

After the thirty steam ironclad ships, there are densely packed sailing ships, and the worst is a third-tier battleship.

At this time, it was like an open pocket, encircling the Blackbeard army.

The cheers stopped abruptly.

Facing the absolute disadvantage of numbers and ships, anyone who is not a fool would not believe that they can still win today.

"Fight!"

Blackbeard took a deep breath and pulled out the sailor knife.

"Angang!"

The monster he was on suddenly let out a roar, and slowly drove forward.

The largest naval battle is about to break out!

Whoosh!

At this moment, outside the battlefield, a water arrow galloped at a fast speed, but did not rush into the battlefield, but made a gesture of watching.

It was only after the waves fell that the smooth hull of the ship and the thunderous flag of the golden sea appeared.

"It's the Wanderer! The pirate prince Edward of the Golden Sea is here!"

There was an uproar in the Royal Navy, but it subsided in no time.

Because there was only one ship coming from the Wanderer, it couldn't change anything at all, and it just waited far away on the periphery, and didn't try to break into the battlefield.

All the pirate governors want to take advantage of Blackbeard's demise to obtain more data on steam ironclad ships. Of course, it would be best if they can consume the power of the navy as much as possible. This is a tacit understanding.

At this time, the Wanderer stood quietly in the ocean, with a detached attitude.

There was no navy to attack it at all.

After all, the number one speed in the ocean of Nomad is by no means a vain name.

Even the fastest steam ship at this time can't catch up with the speed of the Wanderer, and if it dares to besiege, it will be humiliating.

Even so, bursts of cheers came from the Wanderer.

After all, in the eyes of the pirates, this is the pirate prince. With his prestige, he has severely frightened the navy, making it afraid to go forward to provoke.

Even, not only the pirate prince.

On the edge of the battlefield, several strange pirate regiments quietly appeared, watching the battlefield from afar.

These are the famous pirates on the golden route, and there may be a low-key pirate governor hiding in them.

At this time, they all stared at the enemy of the monster with extremely solemn eyes.

boom!

In the eyes of everyone, the flagship of the Royal Navy, the main gun of the Dreadnought, suddenly moved.

Rumble!

The whole ocean shook.

On a third-tier pirate battleship opposite, half of the deck began to explode, turning into a ball of flames.

"How is it possible? With one shell, a pirate ship was destroyed?"

Edward looked at this scene and lost his mind for a moment.

He couldn't feel the slightest breath of extraordinary power from the Dreadnought. If it was an extraordinary ship that fired shells of extraordinary power, Edward would have nothing to say if he did this.

But at this moment, all of this proves that the steam ship on the opposite side has achieved this with the power of technology!

This is undoubtedly a very scary thing.

Because being ordinary means mass production.

What if the number of steam ironclad ships increases to one hundred in the future, and each of them has such a main gun, firing at the same time?

Cold sweat rolled down Prince Edward's forehead.

Even the Wanderer he manipulated was not sure that he could escape the coverage of the artillery fire in an instant.

"What if such an attack falls on the Pirate King City?"

Originally, Edward regarded Pirate King City as an unsinkable fortress.

But after this time, his originally indestructible confidence was suddenly shaken a little.

"We must unite!"

"Elect the Pirate King!"

"Share the information and data of steam ships!"

"Everything must be fast, otherwise we can only be eliminated by the times!"

...

For a while, almost all the pirates watching the battle had such thoughts in their hearts.

"captain!"

At this time, a sailor hurried over with a strange expression: "There is a lifeboat approaching. The person on it claims to be Lieutenant General Norton and wants to see you!"

"Ask him to come here!"

Edward rubbed his chin, looking playful, and after a while, he saw a gentleman in Insman, a middle-aged man in a Royal Navy uniform, coming to the deck.

"Good day, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff of the Armada!"

Edward smiled exaggeratedly: "You said... what would happen if I threw the person who planned this battle into the sea from here to feed the sharks, or kidnapped him for ransom?"

"not so good!"

General Norton has well-defined facial features and fox-like eyes. Hearing this, he smiled exaggeratedly: "Your behavior will only be regarded as a provocation to the Royal Navy, and you will be attacked with all your strength by Admiral Ferry! ...You don't think that Blackbeard's failure was due to my plan? In fact, with Insman's current strength, no matter which pirate governor he attacks, the possibility of victory is very high!"

"While true, it does sound depressing..."

Edward's eyes flashed: "However...we are not without the ability to fight back, such as the Poseidon, the Throne, and the ghost ship..."

"Ghost ship? Then it needs a pirate captain!"

Lieutenant General Norton smiled: "I brought the goodwill of the Insman Kingdom. As long as you surrender, the Queen is willing to pardon all your sins, issue you a private plunder license, and even become a shareholder of the Ocean Development Company!"

"Are you recruiting some of our pirate governors?"

Pirate Prince Edward tugged at his collar: "Then I can tell you now that the Vagabond was free before, it is free now, and it will remain so in the future!"
