Realm of Power

"Huh!" A huge sling bomb was shot out from the three battleships in the southwest, drawing a beautiful arc across the sea in the air, and then hit the west side of gravity, and hit Dragon Tooth No. 6 in the distance with a bang. Just over 20 meters from the bow of the ship, white water columns rose up to a height of more than ten meters on the sea surface. The rippling waves slapped heavily on the bottom of the No. 6 Dragon Tooth Ship, turning into circles of white water spray.

"Damn, I'm really looking for death, my lord, I ordered you to run to the warehouse and fight back." The grumpy first mate Le Angre said angrily next to Captain Tigre.

"Don't worry, these stone bullets are not aimed at us." Tigre's face was solemn, and his eyes were sharply looking at the mysterious warship that appeared in the distance. Like most of the sailors on the ship, he was curiously looking at the more and more ships. The closer the mysterious warship is, the mysterious warship on the opposite side does not seem to be affected at all in the headwind and countercurrent environment. The visual inspection speed is at least 20 knots. Without raising the sail, this mysterious warship is on the sea. Still coming at speed

As the distance got closer, the appearance of the mysterious battleship became clearer and clearer. It was a huge battleship that had suffered heavy damage. One of its four huge main masts was burned, and the linen sails on it were all beaten into dense holes. , from a distance, it looks like a hornet's nest, as if it has been involved in fierce battles, but what attracts the Falcon Navy officers and soldiers the most is the two sides of this giant ship, with two huge roulette wheels spaced apart on each side. Rotation and propulsion on the sea surface

"This is probably the legendary wheel ship." Tigre's sharp eyes stared closely at the mysterious battleship that revealed its entire outline, and he almost screamed in surprise,

When they were studying at the Imperial Naval Academy, the person responsible for guiding them was not a Falcon naval officer, but a senior navigator invited from Salander. According to him, he had traveled to almost two-thirds of the world. In that place, he once half-jokingly mentioned a strange-looking warship that could use huge wheels to provide forward power so that it could have a speed that was not inferior to that of a sailing warship on the countercurrent sea. Tigel used to He was always half awake and half doubtful, but now he believed that there was indeed such a thing

This kind of roulette-style warship can only be found in first-level countries on the Obarro continent. Because it is not suitable for ocean navigation, another use of this kind of warship is as an offshore troop transport ship in war. The huge hull can carry 500 Nord soldiers at a time.

"Whoosh!" At this time, two more stone bombs were ejected from the three warships coming from the southwest, once again setting off a burst of water on the sea that had not yet calmed down. One of them stirred up a column of water at the tail of the mysterious giant ship, which was also mixed with a lot of brown wooden debris. The hull of the giant ship moved slightly and stagnated on the sea.

"Sir, look over there." At this time, First Officer Le Angre also saw something was wrong. He pointed at the side of the huge ship in front of him. He hadn't noticed it just now, but the sight in front of him now made Tigre take a deep breath. .

Good guy, there are at least two large holes of about one meter on the side of this mysterious warship.

The sea water poured into the cabin of the giant ship like a huge flood. The entire hull soon tilted to an angle of 20 degrees, and was on the verge of capsizing to one side.

"Pah, pah, pah", the slingshots that kept coming were still hitting the deck of the hull that had almost lost its power. Broken wood flew everywhere, and even some corpses covered with blood were thrown up along with the broken wood.

Then, along with the water, it poured out from a gap in the belly of the giant ship.

Tigel's guess was correct. The target of these stone bombs was not the much smaller Dragon Tooth Ship, but the mysterious giant ship that was approaching the Dragon Tooth Ship. I saw sling bombs continuously hitting the sea around it, and the main mast was also sunk by the sling bombs. The huge hull was like a beast that was already covered with wounds. It gritted its teeth and struggled to move forward, leaving behind people floating one by one. Bodies and cargo on the sea. It's simply too miserable to look at.

"What a baffling pursuit."

Tigre sighed helplessly. He saw that the giant ship opposite had lost the possibility of final advancement. As the hull tilted more and more, the sailors on it jumped into the water one after another. Some small boats were lowered from the side of the ship, and they were also full of people. Suddenly, the sea about a hundred meters in front of the Dragon Ya battleship was immediately crowded with floating people.

"Sir, the Southwest Fleet has sent a signal, asking us to surrender on the spot." At this moment, a shocked shout came from the lookout post above his head.

"What's going on? Can you read the other party's semaphore?" Tigel no longer had time to linger here. He ran to the bridge eagerly, raised his head and asked the lookout post loudly,

"I don't know the other content, except that the word surrender was sent in the Salander semaphore." The lookout post above was also anxious, and he answered Captain Tigel at the top of his voice, "They may regard us as The accomplices of the sinking battleship may be Salanders."

"Whoosh!" The two sling bombs hit the place less than ten meters away from the Dragon Tooth Ship with the sound of wind. The water column they raised even hit Tigre in the face. The three warships approaching from the southwest had already formed a triangular formation. It is obvious that the Dragon Tooth Ship has been regarded as an ally of the warship just now, and it wants to sink it in one fell swoop.

"What a bad misunderstanding, but there is nothing we can do about it now"

At the critical moment, Tigel decisively ordered the Dragon Tooth ship to move to the left to avoid the encirclement of the three warships that were rapidly attacking from the southwest. The Dragon Tooth ship's narrow and flexible hull drew a beautiful white arc on the sea. line, the sails on the mast quickly swelled, taking advantage of the angle and speed to quickly turn the frontal attack of the three warships into a side harassment

The three warships on the opposite side quickly made adjustments. One broke away from the formation and rushed directly from the side of the Dragon Tooth Ship, while the other two made a large loop on the sea, preparing to wait until the Dragon Tooth Ship was entangled. At the same time, the Dragon Ya ship's possible escape route was cut off from behind, and then hand-to-hand combat was launched from three directions to board the ship, completely squeezing the thin Dragon Ya ship to death.

"Very skilled cooperation." Captain Tigel, who was standing on the bridge of the Dragon Tooth Warship, said sincerely with some disdain in his tone. If it were other warships, it might be a headache for such an arrangement. From then on It can be seen from the wounds on the side of a sinking mysterious warship that these three warships had also attacked it in the same way and severely damaged it.

But this is the Dragon Tooth Ship, which has the weakest flank compared to other warships. It is precisely where the sharpest teeth of the Dragon Tooth Ship are located. The teeth that tear everything apart, with the ferocious sea breeze, suddenly reveal the bloodthirsty Thor muzzle in front of the enemy.

"Attack, kill it for me" moment. In addition to the coldness in Tigre's eyes, there were countless red bloodshot eyes. When the raised arm fell, a powerful vibration suddenly came from the middle of the cabin. "Rumble" and a huge thunder-like muffled sound shook the entire sea area in an instant.

The Dragon Tooth Ship's first salvo was launched under such urgent circumstances, and a whole row of white smoke was seen spraying out from the side of the Dragon Tooth Ship. Then there was the unknown warship that broke away from the queue and wanted to come up for a close combat. The entire hull shook.

Because the distance was too close, the large shotgun shells fired from the 20 Thor cannons on the side of the Dragon Tooth were like a storm of iron sand and steel balls, neatly and violently concentrated on the side of the tall and tall warship.

Splintered wood flew everywhere. The first thing to hit it were several chain-linked, most inertial and destructive hammer bullets. Two high-speed rotating iron balls and an iron chain rotated at high speed, directly disemboweling the side of the battleship, and then the solid iron ball smashed in with huge inertia, breaking the wooden pillars of the hull inside. , and finally the explosive bomb with burning and explosion,

I saw that the huge battleship, which was already riddled with holes, was instantly blown up by incendiary bombs. The left wing of the ship was shattered, and the huge 20-meter-high mast was heavily smashed down in the sky. Then the stern rudder of the destroyed battleship quickly burned, and the hull completely lost power, forming a huge straight shape on the sea. lying across the sea,

The enemies on the unknown battleship were completely stunned by the fierce attack of the Dragon Tooth Battleship. They were in chaos on the deck for a while. A more intense explosion caused the entire battleship to be instantly enveloped in a ball of fire, eventually forming a violent big explosion. . Everything turned into a huge fireball, burning fiercely, and black smoke shot straight into the sky.

"Beautiful" Tigel pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose with his hand, and shouted excitedly, "Turn left 110 degrees, now it's time to clean up the two,

This sudden change completely caught other enemies who did not understand the fighting methods of the Dragon Tooth Ship completely off guard. In fact, after witnessing the tragic situation of the companion that was beaten into a hornet's nest in almost ten minutes, the two warships from outside and outside attacked with great momentum. Immediately slowed down the speed of advancement,

However, their huge bodies are completely out of proportion to the flexible and slender body of the Dragon Tooth Ship not far away. This makes it impossible for them to rely on maneuverability to avoid the Dragon Tooth Ship's turned muzzle. thing,

"We must find a way to kill one ship and capture another one." Tigre licked his lips that had been bitten and bled in excitement just now, and looked at the people around him who fell into the sea. If these people were not rescued, their fate would be very sad,

In the vast sea, once you break away from the ship, it often means death. Even if you are not drowned, you will encounter countless unimaginable terrible fates, such as being buried in the belly of a fish, or encountering a swarm of bloodthirsty sharks. You You will see your companions being torn into bloody pieces one by one, which makes you feel that it would be better to die in the first place.

"Target, let me sink the black warship 130 meters away." Tigel quickly selected the target that needed to be sunk. This black warship was the largest among the three warships and had the most sailors on it. , it is almost impossible to capture and capture,

As for the other smaller battleship, we did not see many sailors on its deck, but its waterline was above the battleship, proving that it was an auxiliary ship responsible for supply. It is no wonder that it dared to pursue the battleship far away. If we can capture this supply ship, everyone can return safely.

"The other party is a very decisive person." Tigre put down the lookout glass in his hand and pointed at the huge black battleship in front of First Officer Le Angre. "Go to the gun bunker and order the gunners to concentrate their firepower on me first." Ignore it and the other auxiliary ship for the time being, put it fifty meters away, and we will move up to capture it."

"Yes, sir, I understand." First Officer Le Anger stared at the slowly approaching black battleship with a solemn expression. He immediately ran to the stairs leading to the gun room and heard that some shelling data was being read inside.

"Concentrate your firepower to kill the black battleship. Don't attack the auxiliary ship. Put it within 50 meters. We have to capture it. This is the captain's order." Le Ange quickly walked down the stairs and asked the person who was reading The rangefinder who took the data said,

"110 meters, black..."

The muzzles of the 20 Thor's black guns quickly adjusted their raising angles. There was an unspeakable silence on the sea that had just been fierce, like the compressed air, and even the waves on the sea seemed to have slowed down a lot.

The locked black flagship on the opposite side seemed to have noticed something. Instead of continuing to drive forward, it turned the bow of the ship and attacked fiercely. The huge bow of the ship was like a heavy iron plow, splitting the calm blue sea into two, creating a long white mark on the sea. The auxiliary ship that Tigel was interested in turned around in the southwest and came from the other side of the Dragon Tooth battleship. Forming an angle with the black battleship,

"Attack" saw that the black battleship had rushed a hundred meters, Tigre's hand finally fell heavily,

The waves surged more intensely, and there was another huge whirlpool in front of it. The Dragon Tooth Battleship passed over it, and the hull tilted seriously. The waves even hit the deck, and the sailors staying on the edge were soaked by the sea water. But no one moved, everyone was waiting,

"Captain ordered to attack," the sailor standing at the top of the stairs shouted loudly toward the gun room. "Rumble" The violent sound of Thor cannons once again shook the sea surface. Countless white smoke evaporated from the side of the Dragon Tooth ship, covering the entire sea surface. 20 curved Thors were fired one after another, dragging the black smoke shells like meteors. It swept across the gorgeous sea surface and landed on the head of the desperate black battleship.

"Boom!" Following a huge roar, a thick black smoke rose from the bow of the black battleship. The battleship was hit from the front. Although it avoided the impact of some shells, splinters of wood were still flying everywhere. Human bodies, parts, and fragments on the deck were thrown into the air. Scattered like fallen leaves,

"Keep shooting, don't let it go"

Tigre shouted excitedly, but the gun bunker was already filled with thick smoke. The choking sulfur smoke was blown back by the sea breeze. The sailors and gunners inside even covered their mouths with wet cloths. They also coughed one by one,

"Attack, the captain ordered to continue the attack." The sailor responsible for conveying the order ran in along the nose. He just yelled a few words and was choked and bent down.

"Load the bomb and continue the attack." The gunner struggled to stand up, completely ignoring the hot barrel, and poured the bucket next to the wooden frame of the gun on the Thor's gun barrel, and there was another burst of white smoke. ring,

"Attention, the enemy ship has entered 50 meters." The rangefinder's voice immediately made the gun warehouse continue to be busy. The Thor who had completed loading was pushed in from the firing port one by one.

"Loading completed" the voice from the No. 3 gun position made

Because the distance is too close, even the gunners on the middle level can clearly see the situation on the black giant ship opposite, a mass of human heads, the reflection of various melee weapons, many arrogant enemies, and even a few meters away. Within ten meters, he waved the ax and spear in his hand, pulled out the large bundles of ropes, and hung them on the side of the ship.

Be prepared to wait until the two boats are 20 meters closer, and then tie the two boats tightly together. Hand-to-hand combat is the oldest law of naval warfare, and it is also the most test of the courage and will of the navy. Once entered, it will be a life-or-death situation. These ropes are the passage to heaven on one side and the passage on the other side to hell. Of course, it may also be Both sides lead to hell at the same time.

"All hands on deck prepare for boarding"

Tigre ordered loudly, and picked up the sword that he had not used for a long time from the crenel. All the soldiers and sailors on the deck were busy and took their positions. The crossbows that had been pulled out and the fully armed melee infantry were standing On one side of the ship's side, behind are lightly-armed sailors holding crossbows.

The two ships quickly approached to a distance of thirty meters, and the solid sides of the ships were about to collide in an instant. The soldiers on both sides could clearly see the faces of the enemies on the opposite side and the reflections of the entire row of weapons on the ships.

"preparation"

Both sides almost shouted out such nerve-wracking voices at the same time,

"Rumble" sounded like thunder from a distance, making the killing sounds just shouted by both sides pale and feeble. Countless shells fired continuously at the belly of the black battleship at an extremely close distance, not only directly piercing the black The inner layer of the battleship also exploded concentratedly from the belly of the black battleship approaching the ship.

"Boom.\

,"I saw a burst of huge red flames billowing out from the inside of the opposite ship's hull, and countless enemies standing on the ship's deck preparing to fight were thrown directly into the sky. A series of explosions followed, just like lava from an erupting volcano pushing through the silent volcanic ash in the crater. The huge mast was also blown into two pieces, and any heavy impact hit the crack in the deck below, causing the overwhelmed deck to completely collapse.

"What's going on?"

Tigre stared dumbfounded at the hell-like mutiny in front of him. A red light suddenly appeared. The black battleship that was showing off in front of him just now had been broken into dozens of large pieces by the violent explosion, rolling around, some on the spot. It was broken from the middle, the bow and stern of the boat were raised high, and then slowly inserted into the water.

The broken main mast fell into the sea water with a "snap", causing a long wave of water.
