Section 577
Then, he trembled slightly with excitement. Great, he encountered a warship, so this battle with pirates will definitely be a victory for his side.
If the warship comes over, the medium-sized masted triangular sailboat on the opposite side will definitely not be able to withstand the power of the Sea Lion-class battleship and the hundreds of cannons!
"No..." The captain of the armed merchant ship was about to put down the telescope, and he suddenly saw the flag hanging on the Sea Lion-class battleship!
That was not the legion flag, but just an ordinary, unfamiliar, and ordinary Chamber of Commerce flag.
"Is it acting?" The captain of the armed merchant ship wondered: "Or is it doing some mission?"
"So the Sea Lion-class battleship did not hang the legion flag, but the Chamber of Commerce flag?"
The captain of the armed merchant ship thought of this and immediately dispelled his doubts, feeling ashamed for doubting the Sea Lion-class battleship.
The Sea Lion-class battleship is one of the three ace battleships of the Sea Lion Kingdom. It is a T0-level existence and is owned by the Sea Lion Kingdom's naval corps. Their loyalty to His Majesty and the Sea Lion citizens must be loyal and reliable, and there is no doubt about it!
"Send a flag signal!" The captain of the armed merchant ship immediately ordered: "Tell the Sea Lion-class battleship that we are fighting here, and the other side is a pirate!"
"At the same time, request assistance from the Sea Lion-class battleship!"
Soon, the flag signal according to the captain of the armed merchant ship was sent out.
The sailors on the ship learned that a warship appeared in the rear, and it was the strongest warship model of the Sea Lion Kingdom, the Sea Lion-class battleship!
They instantly put down their hearts, as if they had taken a reassurance pill, and the terrible pirates on the opposite side were no longer scary at this time.
"With the Sea Lion-class warships here, even if there are ten pirate ships on the opposite side, so what!"
"The only pity is that we can't enjoy the fruits of destroying the pirates, and we have to give them all to the warships."
"But it's good enough to save our lives, and we can't ask for too much."
The sailors retreated because of fear in their hearts, and the rhythm of firing artillery also slowed down at this time, without strong power.
This gave the pirate ship a little breathing time.
...
Golden Merry.
Someone immediately translated the flag signal from the opposite side.
"Boss, the armed merchant ship on the opposite side said that it encountered pirates!"
"They need our help now..."
Qin Feng listened to his subordinates reporting the news, raised his eyebrows, and smiled: "Respond to them and agree to the request for assistance."
"Yes, boss." The subordinates immediately conveyed Qin Feng's order to the flag bearer.
Qin Feng said to Izel: "Get ready, when we get close to the armed merchant ship in front, we will engage in a boarding battle!"
"I... want to take down this armed merchant ship!"
Izel knew what to do. On the surface, he let the soldiers wearing the uniforms of the naval corps confuse the people on the armed merchant ship, and then wait until the two ships get close, and then engage in a boarding battle and quickly seize the armed merchant ship.
As for why the boss wanted to seize the armed merchant ship, that was not something Izel wanted to know.
He only knew that the boss gave him a job that countless people envied, and then the boss was generous, which was enough.
Qin Feng's eyes flickered at this time, and suddenly thought of a question.
"This warship seems to represent the business card of the naval corps. With this business card, every merchant ship we meet will not be on guard against me."
"They will treat me as their own. So as long as they are caught off guard, I will become the nightmare of armed merchant ships!"
"If I see an armed merchant ship, I can plunder an armed merchant ship?"
This is the inspiration that the armed merchant ship gave Qin Feng just now...
...
On the pirate ship.
A pirate flag bearer saw the flag of the armed merchant ship and suddenly turned pale.
"Captain, something bad has happened!"
"Another ship is coming from the opposite side. It's not a ship, it's a warship, a battleship, the strongest battleship of the Sea Lion Kingdom, the Sea Lion-class battleship."
"It's the mobile gunpowder depot on the sea with hundreds of cannons!"
The mad captain received the news quickly. Even as crazy as he was, after learning that the Sea Lion-class battleship had joined...
His crazy head suddenly became confused!
"How is it possible? The intelligence we got from the Seal Kingdom shows that the Sea Lion-class warship is not in this sea area!"
"That's a Sea Lion-class warship. We're probably finished with a round of artillery fire!"
The mad captain's brain was spinning wildly. The sudden appearance of a powerful opponent made him calm down a lot.
"Damn, what can I do? Can I fight a giant like the Sea Lion-class with a rotten ship?"
"I'm crazy, but not stupid!"
The mad captain gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Turn the rudder, turn the rudder quickly!"
"Go back, let's go back quickly!"
"Captain... we are against the wind now!" The subordinate reported with a sad face.
This is the disadvantage of wind-powered sailboats. If the wind direction is wrong, the speed will be greatly affected. Of course, the Sea Lion-class warship is not a sailing ship, but a human-powered sailing ship. There are human-powered oars on the bottom of the hull. When the wind is not conducive to speed, as long as the sailors row hard, the speed can be increased.
"What's wrong with the headwind? Why don't we go back?" The crazy captain roared, "If we don't run away now, we can't escape even if we want to!"
At this moment, a sailor suddenly panicked and said, "Oh no, Captain, our hull is leaking!"
Boom!!!
The crazy captain's head was buzzing, and he became a Muggle at this moment.
Armed merchant ship.
"Look, that's the strongest battleship in our country, the Sea Lion-class battleship!"
"Wow, it's so huge, with so many cannons, it's really terrifying at a glance!"
"Look, the naval uniforms worn by the sailors are so handsome."
On the merchant ship, many sailors pointed at the Golden Merry, which was getting closer and closer to them, with unspeakable admiration and envy in their eyes.
We are all human beings... Others can wear handsome military uniforms and command the strongest battleships in the world, while they can only make a living on merchant ships.
The gap is too big!
At this time, the Golden Merry had sailed to a level similar to that of the armed merchant ship, almost parallel, and the two ships were less than ten meters apart.
"This is the strongest armed force in our country." The captain of the armed merchant ship looked at the battleship opposite without a trace of defense in his heart.
Suddenly...
On the Golden Merry, the flag representing the Chamber of Commerce suddenly landed!
The captain and sailors of the armed merchant ship didn't know what was going on and looked at it in confusion.
Then, a black flag, with a skull pattern outlined in minimalist lines, slowly rose!
This is...
The black flag!
It represents the pirate flag!
It also means that this is the strongest warship of the Sea Lion Kingdom, a T0-level sea beast...
It is actually a pirate ship! ! !
Chapter 425 Winning twice is a win-win situation
The flag representing the Sea Lion Chamber of Commerce fell.
The black flag slowly rose from the bottom of the mast to the top.
The hearts of the people on the armed merchant ship looking at the black flag fell as the black flag rose, and kept falling.
Their jumping, hot hearts have gradually become cold and depressed at this moment.
"Black flag..." The smile on the face of the captain of the armed merchant ship froze, and turned to show a smile that was uglier than crying.
The black flag is the pirate flag, representing disorder, the heaviness of death, and plunder.
"How could our warship be a black flag pirate ship!" The sailors on the merchant ship couldn't believe it.
"Pirates... have captured all the T0-level warships?" The sailors couldn't believe that any pirate could do this.
"It's over, it's over, we're going to die." Facing such a giant on the sea, the sailors didn't even have the mind to fight.
Just then! The sailors wearing the uniforms of the naval corps suddenly raised their muskets and aimed at the armed merchant ships ten meters away.
"Fire!" A commander immediately ordered. As his order was issued, the sailors decisively pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
The white mist of gunpowder smoke came out from the muzzle of the musket, and the thumb-thick lead bullets shot out rapidly from the long barrel, like a rainstorm, covering the sailors on the opposite armed merchant ship.
"Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!"
That was the sound of bullets hitting the flesh. Immediately, there were continuous screams on the armed merchant ships, and groups of defenseless sailors were hit by bullets and fell down.
At this time, the Golden Merry suddenly stretched out the bridge board.
The 50-meter bridge plank lifted by dozens of sailors was like a tongue from a giant beast's mouth. With a roar, the bridge plank hit the armed merchant ship heavily.
At this time, the Golden Merry was still firing at the armed merchant ship. The sailors on the opposite side either fled or died where the musket pointed.
"Attack!" The commander immediately ordered, and teams of sailors ran from the bridge plank and then jumped onto the armed merchant ship on the opposite side.
The sailors occupied the bridge plank area and led the subsequent sailors to come. Soon 1,500 sailors gathered.
The captain of the armed merchant ship looked at the more than a thousand elite sailors with his eyes twitching wildly, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"Is it necessary... Just for my small merchant ship, is it necessary to use 1,500 soldiers?"
"Is it necessary to use the strongest sea battleship of the Sea Lion Kingdom? Is it necessary..." The captain of the armed merchant ship sighed and ordered his deputy to take out the white flag and surrender!
