Chapter 519 Elizabeth's Slander

"Norrington, it's the Jörmungandr!"

Wiltner was very excited. Elizabeth, he finally found Elizabeth!

As for whether Elizabeth would become a wide road with people coming and going after so many days, Wiltner said he didn't care. He didn't even care about this aspect. As long as Elizabeth was still alive, it would be fine.

He was only worried that Elizabeth would be sucked dry by those bloodthirsty undead monsters and die.

Now the sea has a terrifying legend of the Jörmungandr. The bloodthirsty undead monsters will suck the blood of the pirates and people they encounter, and then the people whose blood is sucked dry will die painfully and become mummies.

Wiltner was so worried when he heard it.

And Norrington, he no longer had hope that Elizabeth could still be intact. He just hoped that Elizabeth would not change from pigeon-toed to bow-legged.

After all, there were so many men on that ship!

"Poseidon? There's another ship next to it, the Black Pearl?"

Then Norrington saw through the telescope that the appearance of the Jörmungandr had changed. If it weren't for the black sails and the familiar patterns on the black sails, he would have thought he was chasing the wrong target.

Especially the much smaller pirate ship next to it. The name of the Black Pearl on the hull made his face change greatly.

"What is the Black Pearl?"

Wiltner had never heard of the story of the Black Pearl. In the original plot, Norrington didn't seem to know about the Black Pearl, but this was illogical. After all, he had become a colonel. He not only dealt with the Spanish fleet, but also fought pirates many times. How could he not know the Black Pearl?

After the Black Pearl became a ghost ship, it attacked and looted merchant ships in countless places.

"The Black Pearl is a ghost ship on the sea, a ship of the dead. How could they be mixed together?"

Norrington was puzzled.

When two ships meet, shouldn't they fight to the death?

After all, pirates will not live in peace just because they are the same kind. On the contrary, the more powerful the pirates are, the less likely they are to get along, unless they are all equally powerful.

But even if they are equally powerful, this situation is impossible.

Norrington had a bad idea in his mind, but he thought it was impossible.

So he thought that the Jörmungandr and the Black Pearl must have some kind of cooperation, so they stayed together.

Norrington's flagship is the Endeavour (some translations are Victory), the only ship that can temporarily approach the Black Pearl in speed. It is extremely fast, with a pointed head and a flat tail. It belongs to the British Royal Navy fleet array, and the captain is James Norrington.

The Spaniards felt the threat of the British Royal Navy, so they began to try to weaken the enemy's power from factors outside the battlefield. Using 5,000 gold pounds and Mrs. Gaspard's beauty and eloquence, the proud hawkish British naval generals gradually took the leading position.

The navy, with the arrogant hawkish generals as the core, began to gradually exclude the British pirates, believing that they were unstable factors. The honeymoon period between the British Navy and the British pirates soon ended, and developed into an incompatible relationship.

Norrington emerged for this reason.

Originally, Norrington's fleet would have to wait for a while to arrive, but it could not resist the strong support of Governor Swan.

The governor of this era can be said to be powerful, like a king, rich enough to rival a country. With the energy of Governor Swan, Norrington's fleet was not only replenished at the fastest speed, but even exceeded the standard that he, a brigadier, should have.

In addition to the flagship Endeavour, there are a full five fourth-level sailing battleships of the Royal Navy and twenty frigates!

Such a fleet faces two ships, one is the Sea King, which is a Class III battleship according to the standard, and the other is the Black Pearl, which is not even a standard cruiser. It seems that the chance of victory is absolute.

However, neither the enemy nor us think so.

After reaching a certain distance, that is, the range of the shells, Norrington immediately ordered to turn the rudder and then fire!

"Elizabeth is still on the Jörmungandr!"

Wiltner suddenly became anxious and roared at Norrington.

"I know, but are you going to fight those monsters in hand-to-hand combat?"

Norrington said coldly. He was a brigadier general, so after the war started, he would not let personal feelings control his brain. He would only consider the gains and losses of the war and the conditions for victory. This is what a qualified naval commander should do!

Wiltner watched the shells hit the sea water and splashed water columns, but soon shells hit the Black Pearl and the Poseidon.

The performance of the two ships was different. After being hit, the Poseidon was as solid as a rock, and even a few shells were bounced off, and the rest hit the ship without causing explosions and damage.

After all, the Poseidon was made of iron birch, and there was no gap between the wood, as natural as nature.

Iron birch, also known as black birch, is the hardest wood in the world and is known as the "king of wood". It can be used as pit wood, sleepers, plates, vehicles, mine pillars, and buildings.

It can withstand the chopping of knives and axes, and can withstand the burning of fierce fire, and is used as metal.

According to historical records, before the cold weapon period, the weapons used by people were made of it, and some tribes became regional rulers by using weapons made of it.

The biggest feature of iron birch is its hardness. Research shows that iron birch is twice as hard as steel and five times as hard as oak. It will emit sparks when struck with an axe. Even bullets hitting this wood are like hitting thick steel plates.

Not to mention the artillery of this era, it is impossible to shake the Poseidon.

When Norrington saw this scene, he immediately seemed to see those zombie monsters from before, which were also invulnerable.

"Change fuel bombs!"

Norrington issued a new order. If simple bombardment is useless, then use incendiary bombs!

A round of shelling shook the earth, leaving only the sound of cannons in the sea and sky. The Black Pearl's defense was not as good as the Poseidon, and it was almost disintegrated at this moment.

However, both ships were moving forward, charging towards the Endeavor and the Britannia Fleet!

The fallen wooden planks and hull of the Black Pearl automatically returned to the Black Pearl for assembly after the artillery fire stopped.

"Stop them, quickly!"

Norrington and Wiltner were shocked to see the Black Pearl automatically recover, and then Norrington quickly ordered.

Is this a ghost ship?

Norrington has already seen the terror of the Jormungandr, so he definitely has no intention of engaging in a boarding battle with them. What era was that tactic? Now is of course the age of artillery.
