Chapter 868: The Curtain Ends

Rumble!

As the steam warships fired one after another, Blackbeard's army suffered a brutal baptism of artillery fire.

The wooden sailboats exploded under the terrible artillery fire. Before the pirates had time to show their bravery, they were shattered into pieces under various artillery strikes and sank to the bottom of the sea.

"dispersion!"

Blackbeard closed his eyes, and ordered the Monster to display a semaphore: "Scatter and break through!"

Immediately, the original pirate army immediately dispersed like a pack of wolves that lost their leader, breaking out in different directions.

Although he knew that making such a choice would mean admitting failure, but Blackbeard had no choice but to do so.

After all, if he persisted, he might end up with the entire fleet wiped out.

Moreover, after breaking through separately, many pirate ships can give full play to their strengths.

Pirates were originally a group of free and undisciplined creatures, completely opposite to the disciplined army.

At this time, the large-scale naval battles instantly turned into small chasing battlefields. From time to time, pirates would fight back fiercely, causing a big loss to the first, second, and third-tier sailing battleships of the navy that had not yet retired.

Of course, in sharp contrast to this, those thirty steam ironclad ships were rampaging on the sea, and every pirate ship was busy avoiding them.

As the leader of the Blackbeard Pirates, Blackbeard has obviously been targeted.

A total of seven steam ironclad ships surrounded him aggressively.

"accelerate!"

As the pirate governor, Blackbeard naturally wouldn't just get caught without a fight.

He patted the deck of the Monster, and the whole ship roared suddenly, and its speed doubled sharply. It escaped a round of shelling, and slammed into the blockade of the sailing ship outside.

"Crunch! Crunch!"

The monster's bow opened its mouth wide, like a snake swallowing a mouse, biting a sailing battleship, making a teeth-stinging sound, dismembering and devouring it in a short period of time.

bang bang!

During this time, the Monster itself was also shelled several times.

But its hull is far stronger than ordinary wooden planks, and it has the ability to recover, so it forcibly withstood the bombardment, slaughtered wantonly in the sailboat, and opened a bloody path.

"Is this the last glory of the Monster?"

Although this scene was very brave, it was definitely not a good thing in the eyes of Edward who was watching the battle.

"Blackbeard... what are you thinking?"

At this time, the Monster was like a peerless general in a confrontation between the two armies. Although he entered the infantry phalanx very bravely and made countless gains, he was also targeted and surrounded by the opponent's armored soldiers.

Although those steam ironclad ships seemed bulky, their speed in the water was very flexible, and they completely surrounded the Monster at this moment.

"The captain of the Royal Fleet on the opposite side is Feili, right? He wants to use these ordinary wooden ships that should be eliminated to attract my attention, and then let the steam ironclads besiege me..."

Standing on the bow of the Monster, Blackbeard looked at this scene with a sneer on his face: "But I still have one of the legendary abilities of the Monster! This time, he really asked for trouble!"

After all, the Monster is the second-ranked extraordinary ship, and it is only a thin line away from those legendary ships.

And Blackbeard is also scheming. After obtaining the Monster, he used his powerful witchcraft to add an ability to the ship.

The monster originally had the ability to devour, which could destroy enemy ships, loot parts, and gain itself.

His additional legendary ability is a terrifying skill that continuously accumulates the energy obtained from devouring and explodes for the last time!

"Legend - Annihilation!"

After devouring the last Tier 1 battleship, Blackbeard raised his right hand and roared loudly, looking at the completed steam armor encirclement: "Feel the pain!"

Rumble!

A layer of black light suddenly emerged from the monster, gathered on Heibeard's hand, the color became more intense, and suddenly spread.

Buzz!

Invisible ripples swept across.

In an instant, cracks and wrinkles appeared on all the steel decks that came into contact... and finally turned into ashes, quietly annihilated.

"Abandon ship!!!"

Immediately there were waves of commotion and roars from the steam and steel ship.

It's a pity that those sailors are still too slow.

After being caught up by the black ripples, their complexions froze instantly, as lifelike as statues.

A moment later, the breeze blew, and the individual portraits were scattered like this, turning into fluffs of fine sand.

After the black ripples passed, the hulls of the three steam ironclad ships showed serious damage and began to sink slowly.

"Long live Blackbeard!"

"Long live the pirates!"

...

The pirates suddenly burst into cheers, as excited as a dying person suddenly seeing hope.

Since the start of the war, there has been absolutely no damage. The steam ironclad warship, which looks like a god of war, was directly scrapped under Blackbeard's round of attack?

This is definitely the biggest victory against Insman so far.

Little did they know that Black Beard's heart trembled coldly at this moment.

This kind of attack by the monster definitely needs to be accumulated for a long time. After the attack just now, within three days, don't even think about using it a second time.

Originally, according to his idea, if the siege was still the old wooden sailing ship, a dozen of them would definitely be destroyed. Even this new type of steam ironclad ship would be able to completely sink the seven chasing ships. An unforgettable lesson for the Osman Royal Navy. After getting rid of these pursuers, they can leave the battlefield calmly.

But the fact gave him a cruel slap in the face.

The defensive power of this ironclad ship completely exceeded Blackbeard's expectations, and it turned out that only three ships sank at a painful price, exhausting the energy of this annihilation attack.

As a result, not only was it impossible to complete a complete stand, but even the escape plan of the Monster was in great trouble.

"fire!"

Seeing the sinking of the three companions, the commanders of the remaining steam ironclad ships immediately turned red-eyed and ordered the main guns to counterattack.

bang bang!

Amidst the loud noise, all the terrifying attacks landed on the hull of the Monster.

No matter how hard the material was used, several large holes were punched out at this time, like a wounded beast, trapped by many traps, and then besieged by hounds.

"Accelerate! Breakthrough!"

Blackbeard roared again and again.

It's a pity that the parts and energy looted by the Monster had been completely consumed in the previous annihilation attack, and even the recovery ability of the ship itself was affected.

Encouraged by this, an ironclad ship even rammed over aggressively.

The Monster was originally a giant among sailing battleships, its volume and displacement were larger than that of a first-class battleship, and the same was true for the steam ironclad ship.

boom!

Amidst the loud noise, the two big men shook violently.

Immediately, a huge gap appeared in the hull of the Monster.

"Aww!"

The Monster let out a howl like a wounded beast, the bow of the ship suddenly rose, and its terrifying mouth expanded several times, like a giant python with its mouth wide open.

With a click, it directly swallowed the bow that hit the ironclad ship.

crunch! crunch!

A tooth-piercing voice came.

After a while, the Monster receded on its own initiative, revealing a half-scarred steam ironclad ship, but cheers came from above.

However, the pirates on the Monster did not say a word, and even sharp-eyed pirates could notice that there were suddenly many damaged scars on the bow of the Monster.

Obviously, the Monster wanted to devour the iron-clad ship just like it had dealt with those sailboats before, and supplemented its nutrition by the way.

But unexpectedly, the ship was not only bigger, but also stronger than expected, and a few teeth were directly smashed out for this.

So far, the monster's breakout plan has been declared a complete failure.

Unless the pirate prince Edward came to the rescue immediately, otherwise, there would be no chance of surviving. This is the cruelty of naval battles!

But will Edward go to rescue Blackbeard?

Not to mention the danger of single-handedly entering the naval formation, the friendship between the pirate prince and Blackbeard is not so good. After all, they have fought fiercely several times before.

"Everyone is there, ready to fight!"

Blackbeard bit open a bottle of rum and took a sip.

As a pirate, he has long had the consciousness to be buried in the sea at any time!

And as a pirate captain, you should sink with the ship! ! !

...

"A respectable opponent!"

After observing the semaphore and movement on the Monster, the commanders of several ironclad ships were very admirable, but this did not prevent them from giving orders to attack.

Now that they knew that the Monster was going to fight tenaciously, they would not take the risk of heavy casualties to fight for this extraordinary warship, and letting it sink was the best choice.

The main guns of the four ironclad ships aimed at the Monster and fired suddenly.

Rumble!

Four huge explosions were generated on the Monster, and an unknown number of pirates were blown up, leaving no place for burial.

Amidst the flying flesh and flames, the black bearded pirate flag slowly fell, signaling the passing of an era.

Under such a wretched "non-contact combat" plan of the navy, even though Blackbeard possessed witchcraft, he couldn't use it. He could only watch helplessly as his ship was torn apart and he was thrown into the sea.

Woohoo!

In the midst of the great pain, it seemed that a horn sounded in his ears.

His extraordinary vision allowed him to see the souls of the shipwrecked, converging in one direction, as if there was a whirlpool there.

A huge and blurry translucent ship emerged, slowly driving towards him, with a palpitating aura of death.

"It's a ghost ship!!!"

Above the surface of the sea, the pirate prince Edward couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at the sudden thick fog and the familiar feeling.

"Ghost ship!"

The Royal Navy apparently also discovered this uninvited guest, and the sailors on board let out horrific howls, as if seeing the end of the world.

Crash!

The dense fog broke through, and a half-decayed sailboat braved the wind and waves, and threw out a cable that seemed to have its own life, and gently rolled up Blackbeard and landed on the deck.
