Lord: I have a skill talent tree

Chapter 417: War serves politics

The next day, just after dawn, two streamlined medium-sized ships slowly left the port of Vilen.

Not only did they look exactly the same, but there was also a giant protrusion covered with a thick blanket on the deck, and a flag that had never appeared before was hung.

It was printed with a black two-headed snake, surrounded by a circle of golden stars, a total of 25.

The two-headed snake logo was consistent with the Stein family emblem, and the 25 stars just corresponded to the 25 fixed seats of the Maro City Council.

So the meaning of this flag is self-evident.

After the two armed ships left the port, they pulled up the sails and headed straight for an uninhabited island sixteen nautical miles away.

When they arrived near the island, the sun just rose to a head high.

At this time, Captain Jack stood on the deck, took out a ten-centimeter-long cylindrical object from his jacket pocket, and then pulled both ends.

The short cylinder instantly turned into a long cylinder.

He put the thinner end of the long tube in front of his eyes, and the other end was aimed at the island.

In his field of vision, although the island was still thousands of meters away, the scenery of the island was close at hand.

Four warships parked in the temporary port, the crew who had just woken up and stood by the ship with sleepy eyes to urinate in the wind,...

Everything was clearly visible.

"45 degrees to the left, and go half a mile forward." After observation, Captain Jack gave the order.

"45 degrees to the left, and go another mile forward." After hearing the order, his deputy shouted to the helmsman.

The helmsman immediately adjusted the direction and executed the order.

When the other ship saw the main ship turning around, it also adjusted the direction and kept up with it in a straight line.

"Keep the course, lower half the sail, reduce speed, and drive at a constant speed." When arriving at the designated sea area, Captain Jack gave another order.

"Keep the course, lower half the sail, reduce speed, and drive at a constant speed." The deputy simultaneously gave orders to the crew loudly.

At the same time, the flagman was asked to pass the message to the ship behind through flag signals.

The ship behind received the message and started to operate synchronously with the ship in front.

When the speed slowed down and the ship was balanced.

Captain Jack picked up the telescope again and observed the island for a while.

After the observation, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Deploy the balancing fins."

"Deploy the balancing fins."

As the order was issued, two wooden boards like fish fins were deployed almost simultaneously below the waterline on both sides of the hulls of the two ships.

When everything was in place.

"Gunners, prepare, calibrate the trajectory, and target the two enemy ships on both sides. Ship No. 1 aims at the enemy ship on the far left, and Ship No. 2 aims at the enemy ship on the far right."

"Gunners, prepare, calibrate the trajectory, and target the two enemy ships on both sides. Ship No. 1 aims at the enemy ship on the far left, and Ship No. 2 aims at the enemy ship on the far right."

The four gunners who received the order immediately lifted the thick oilcloth on the deck, revealing the black [Pyroblast Cannon] inside.

Then the gunners began to adjust the Pyroblast Cannon horizontally and vertically.

One of the gunners was always sitting on a chair connected to the fire blaster. In front of him was a tube-shaped object similar to the telescope held by Captain Jack, but much larger than Jack's.

At this time, he was constantly observing the tube-shaped object, and then kept passing on the message.

"33 bels right, 2 bels per moment, and the muzzle is raised by 7 bels..."

His colleagues immediately followed suit.

When everything was ready, the observing gunner shouted loudly: "Captain, everything is ready, and you can fire at any time."

When Jack heard that everything was ready, his face was fierce: "Fire!"

The deputy was stunned for a moment. This time he did not convey the captain's order, but was frightened and sweated.

"Captain, when we came here, Lord Ethan ordered that we must send someone up to issue a warning first, and wait until they resisted before firing.

Isn't it not good for us to fire right away like this?"

Seeing that the deputy not only did not follow the order, but taught him how to do things, Jack glared at him fiercely.

"You are too soft-hearted! You are about to start a war, what's the use of warning?

I can't eat if I don't get rid of the anger I have been holding for a while.

If anything happens, I will take the responsibility, not you.

Follow my orders, fire!"

Seeing that the captain had said nothing, the deputy had nothing to say, so he shouted to the gunner: "Fire!"

"Yes!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

With two loud noises breaking the tranquility of the early morning, two bright balls of fire the size of eggs, like two small suns, dragged long tails, drew two beautiful arcs, and flew towards the nameless island one after the other.

After a while

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Two more loud noises came, and then two mushroom clouds nearly 100 meters high rose on the temporary dock of the island.

Captain Jack took out the telescope again and looked at the temporary dock.

There was fire everywhere, the scene was in a mess, broken wood boards, corpses, flying all over the sky, and those survivors who were still in shock.

Captain Jack's mouth curled up, he was very satisfied with the effect of this bombardment, both fire blasts hit the intended target as accurately as in training.

And one of them, because the two enemy ships were close to each other, achieved the effect of killing two birds with one stone.

Although he was very satisfied with the effect, the matter was not over yet, so Captain Jack gave another order.

"Calibrate the trajectory again, ship No. 1 aims at the remaining enemy ship, and ship No. 2 aims at the temporary barracks on the shore."

"Calibrate the trajectory again, ship No. 1 aims at the remaining enemy ship, and ship No. 2 aims at the temporary barracks on the shore."

"Yes!"

"Report to the captain, everything is ready, ready to fire at any time."

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

"Yes!"

"Boom!"

"Boom"

...

On this day, the joint escort fleet composed of four dukes, Duke Gran, Duke Tas, Duke Malte, and Duke Kuer, was completely wiped out on an unnamed island in the waters controlled by Maro City.

This news exploded in the hearts of the leaders of the sixteen regions like a bomb.

They were shocked by this and dared not believe it was true.

How dare they in Maro City?

Why do they dare?

This is an undeclared war!

After the shock, they did not protest, only condemned, and then tacitly united together to prepare for a war of revenge.

Ethan was also shocked.

Because he had clearly assigned the task before setting off, which was to go up and warn and drive them away first. If they didn't leave or resisted, then he would use the [Pyroblast Cannon] to pick a hapless person and give them a warning.

He just wanted to deter the other party, but he didn't expect that Jack would take the initiative and wipe out the other party, not even leaving a single person alive.

Now, Ethan's plan was completely disrupted.
