Chapter 7 Prepare to Fight

"Eh?"

My guess made all the pirates on the ship stunned, and then suddenly all the pirates became excited.

"No way?"

"How can it be?"

"Who would think of something like that?"

"But I was really unwilling at that time!"

"It seems that I also had the idea of ​​destroying all that fleet for a moment!"

"It sounds like I've had it too."

"I have it too."

"I have it too."

...After a lot of discussion, we finally came to the conclusion that when the Dreamer was sunk, all the pirates on the ship had thought of sinking all the other party's warships. This kind of thinking is good, so this kind of thinking is concentrated, then mixed with resentment, and finally amplified. The direct result is that such an undead pirate ship appears, and it must be constantly reincarnated in the scene of being sunk.

"It seems to make sense!" I sighed and said: "We are supposed to have escaped with the treasure this time. If it was just an ordinary pirate business, this would be considered a success, but this kind of reincarnation has not The end means that your last wish has not been fulfilled. If you say so, your last wish might really be to destroy that fleet!"

After I finished the above conclusion, the whole ship was quiet for a while, and then the captain was the first to react and suddenly fell to his knees. Then he looked up to the sky and shouted: "God, is it wrong to complain before dying?" ?"

Following the captain's voice, the ship immediately remembered the sound of crying one after another. Almost all the pirates fell into despair. They were either crying or making trouble, and none of them were normal anyway.

Looking at the chaotic pirate ship, I didn't bother them. Instead, I went to the cabin to find some food, then returned to the deck and leaned against the side of the ship while admiring the scenery on the sea and eating dried fish. Speaking of which, the dried fish made by the pirates tastes really good, and since this is a time slice, not a real map, my attributes have also been suspended. What does this mean? This means that no matter how much I eat, I won’t feel bloated, so I can enjoy delicious food without worry. Moreover, another very important thing is that the things on the ship are free.

"Hey, hey, hey, we're all like this, you still want to eat?" A pirate was probably tired of crying. After stopping, he suddenly found that I was leaning on the side of the ship leisurely eating, with one leg still hanging on It's so pleasant to see the boat swinging outside. Because of the discomfort in his heart, the pirate immediately became angry when he saw me so leisurely. However, he didn't lose his mind and rushed up to fight me. After all, my armor is not just good-looking.

Speaking of which, neither the pirates on the ship nor the people on the merchant ship we saw before seemed to be wearing armor, and there were no legal personnel on either side. Even the pirates' fighting method was just basic fighting skills, and there was no supernatural sight at all. Ability. If it weren't for the fact that I didn't see whether there were mages or the like in those fleets, I would have almost confirmed that this was a world without magic. Of course, it's easy to understand not wearing armor, after all, this is a naval battle. My Dragon Soul Suit is an artifact. You can ignore the weight and so on, but if an ordinary person puts on a metal armor, once he falls into the water, don't you plan to become a diver? So it is normal that there are no people wearing armor on the ship.

Although it was silly to wear armor in a naval battle, the pirate still knew that armor was still useful before falling into the water, so although he was a little dissatisfied with me, he didn't really lose his mind and rush to take action.

Although his tone was not good, I was having a good time now and did not argue with him. Instead, I said lightly: "Do I have to cry like you all? If you cry like this, those ships will sink by themselves. Lose?"

The pirate, who was choked by my words and had nothing to say, suppressed his face until he turned red and did not think of a retort. In the end, he could only sit on the ground in a daze like a deflated rubber ball. However, the captain next to me noticed something was wrong with me, and then asked aloud: "President Ziri, have you thought of something? Even if you don't care about us, you are trapped here. Are you really You don’t mind at all? Or...?"

"Are you kidding?" I jumped back to the deck with one hand on the railing, and then said: "I don't have time to accompany you on the sea for the rest of your life. I just took advantage of you to vent your mood and have something to eat. If you have already vented, That’s it, let’s discuss some serious business. As for your last wish, let’s fulfill it.”

"Done?" A sailor looked at me like a fool and asked: "Are you sure you know what you said? We are going to sink the entire fleet! That is more than a thousand ships. Even our Dreamer Even if they have twice as many cannons and twice as fast as their speed, we can only run away. It is impossible to defeat them!"

"It's impossible for you, but that doesn't mean it's impossible for me." I asked directly: "Do you want to fulfill your last wish?"

"I think." The pirate captain shouted out, and then asked: "But how are we going to accomplish it? You also saw it. We only have this ship, and the one we encountered is the Invincible Fleet. Not to mention that their warships at least Half of them are bigger than us. Even if they are all warships one size smaller than us, we still don’t want to be able to fight one against a thousand, right? Even if you have a way to turn all my crew members into perfect artillerymen!”

"Who said you should fight? Of course I know that one of your ships cannot defeat a thousand ships, but have you forgotten my magic pet? Do you think a dragon can defeat a warship?"

"this……!"

"Well, you can reincarnate indefinitely anyway, so why are you afraid of dying once? Can't we find out if we try it? Are you still afraid of dying once?"

The pirates also reacted when I woke up like this. "That's right! What are we afraid of? The worst we can do is die again. Anyway, we have died tens of thousands of times. Let's not miss this one!"

As this idea spread, the pirates who had just fallen into a trough became excited again. One or two of them shouted that they wanted to go back and find the imperial fleet desperately. I stretched out my hand to quiet them down, and then said: "Okay, okay, stop arguing. The first thing we need to do now is to quickly find the imperial fleet that we have missed."

As soon as the pirate captain heard what I said, he immediately said: "Why bother? Just scuttle yourself. When we sink to the bottom of the sea, we will be reincarnated again, and then the fleet will appear by itself. There is no need to look for it."

I was stunned for a moment when I heard this. It seemed to be true, but after all, I am not an undead soul. How could I treat death as a commonplace like they do?

Following the captain's order, several pirates on the ship immediately ran to the bottom of the ship's cabin and ignited the gunpowder barrels used to launch the cannons on their ships. Then there was a bang and the warship was torn into pieces, and then sank quickly, and the lieutenant was also hit by a sudden appearance. A stream of black smoke trapped the battleship and sank to the bottom of the sea. I estimate that the black mist is the kind of thing that the Wiki said before will make the players automatically return to the ship after the ship sinks and sink to the bottom of the sea together. However, this kind of reincarnation death will not cause the player to actually die, but the scene will be repeated. It was only set once and had no effect on the player, so I didn’t resist. I just waited for the time to reset after sinking to the bottom.

In the deep sea area, it actually takes a lot of time for a ship to sink to the bottom of the sea. However, because this scene is similar to people's dreams, many things cannot be understood according to normal concepts. At least our ship cannot use it. It sank to the bottom of the sea in ten minutes. This speed is absolutely impossible in reality.

The battleship that sank to the bottom of the sea did not return to the sea immediately. Instead, it took more than ten minutes to change from a new ship to a tattered wreckage covered with mud and sand, and then returned to the sea again. Returned to the sea.

The process of resetting the environment was the same as when I first boarded the ship. A halo of light rippled out from the center of my feet, and then everything returned to the time when the robbery just started. The difference is that this time the pirates Everyone recognizes me. Obviously their memory will not be reset along with the environment.

"President Ziri, do we still want to take screenshots of that ship now?" Because they can only count on me for the next battle, the pirates now regard me as their savior. The pirate captain cautiously asked me if I wanted to continue the robbery. After all, if there was to be a naval battle, it would be better to not have anything on the ship. Otherwise, the cargo would deform the hull of the ship and its steering would be affected to a certain extent.

Although these things need to be considered in daily life, I had no intention of expecting this ship to kill one of the opponent's fleets, so I did not ask them to stop robbing because I was worried that not robbing would affect the mission judgment.

"You continue. Since you want to fulfill your last wish, you must first rob something and then take down the battleships on the opposite side. Otherwise, if you go back empty-handed, it means that you have not completed the robbery? What if you still can't fulfill your last wish?"

The captain thought it made sense, so he gave the order. The pirates below immediately became busy and began to carry supplies desperately.

While the pirates were busy with their business, I asked the pirate captain who was always with me: "Where is your gun emplacement? Take me to see it."

"Please come with me." Because whether they can rest completely depends on me, the pirate captain has almost become my little brother now, following me with a respectful attitude, and he will do whatever I say. What.

Under the leadership of the captain, we quickly arrived at the gun warehouse. In fact, the gun position cabin is not a normal cabin level. Except for the normal height of the first-level running cabin, the second and third floors below are all half cabins, that is, the height is only 1.5 meters. Everyone inside is You have to bend down and lower your head, otherwise you will hit the partition above your head. The main reason why the gun bunker is made so short is to allow the gun position to be slightly higher. After all, the sailboat is not a modern ship. Its anti-sinking ability is not good, and the opening of the running door cannot be completely closed. It can only block rainwater and ordinary waves. Once the ship encounters a storm, water will enter these gun doors, and because the sailboat is tall, The masts and sails are large, so the stress on the upper layer is obvious. When the cross wind is strong, the hull will tilt sharply. At this time, water will enter the firing port of the gun port that cannot be completely sealed, and the relatively high gun port position can avoid this happening. Therefore, in order to ensure that the gun position is high enough, the deck layer can only be It is very low, so that as many layers of gun positions as possible can be concentrated on the upper part of the hull to increase the overall waterproof performance of the ship.

Under the leadership of the captain, I walked around the cabin and found that each of the ship's three artillery decks only had eighteen guns, and they were scattered on both sides. That is to say, there were only nine guns on each side of each floor. There are only twenty-seven cannons in the three gun decks. Counting the seven small-caliber cannons on the open deck and the three shotguns on the mast, the ship's single-side firepower output is actually only thirty. Just seven cannons.

Many people may think that this number is already a lot compared to modern warships, but you have to know how accurate the artillery aiming system of modern warships is and how powerful it is. The power of a single shot of the main gun of a modern warship can blow such a wooden-hulled warship into a pile of wood chips, and the first hit rate can be as high as over 30%, and the subsequent vitality can reach a hit rate between 37% and 70%. However, that is a modern warship. The maximum range of this kind of large sailing gun is only three thousand meters, and the shooting distance that can actually be consciously aimed is only about 1,100 meters. Any farther can only rely on luck. As for the power of a hit, don't think about that. The pirates' cannons fired solid bullets, which were just big iron balls. The only way to destroy them was to smash holes into the opponent's warships. Fortunately, the wooden hull battleship is not hard enough, otherwise if this kind of gun encounters a modern battleship, it is impossible to cause any damage to the iron-clad battleship by using the cannon and bayonet on it. Of course, it might be possible to wipe off a layer of paint, but nothing else.

"captain."

"here I am."

"Is this all your cannons have?"

The captain nodded and said: "This is already the best cannon. It has a range of three thousand meters and is more advanced than the Imperial Navy's. This is an embargoed weapon that I spent a lot of money to get!"

I shook my head helplessly and said, "It seems we can't count on you to protect yourself!"

"Eh? What do you mean?"

I directly said to the captain: "I want to go out and deal with those fleets myself, and then let you hold on for a while. As long as you can hold on until I kill those warships, that's it. But with your firepower, I guess you won't be able to wait until I can dismantle them." Those ships will be demolished by them first!"

"What should we do?"
