Reborn As a Pirate

Collision Alert!!!

Warning, warning! All crew members seek the nearest fixation, prevent falling into the water, and guard against heavy objects!

Dodge to starboard! Dodge! You idiots, dodge!

The shrill shouts echoed on the deck, and the San Carlos was very busy, but even the chaotic din couldn't suppress the ghostly cries of the pirates tens of meters away.

This panic was unnecessary.

During the last round of salvo, the distance between the two sides was still 150 to 60 meters, and the lake surface tonight was still with gentle wind and gentle waves, so Blackbeard's charging speed was by no means fast.

With the strength of British gunners, a round of loading can be completed in one and a half minutes. They could have taught Blackbeard a huge lesson at close range. If Blackbeard still did not change his original intention at that time, they would have enough time to calmly get out of the collision area.

But this kind of tactical action can be done by the Hinchinbrook, as can the Golden Deer, but the San Carlos, which brings together the elites of both sides, cannot do it anyway.

The San Carlos' personnel structure had been improvised earlier with Nelson's intervention.

At that time, Lorraine was still abducting Marat. To show respect, Nelson himself did not serve as the captain.

The interim captain on board was Nelson's guard captain Sergeant Sikes, a young non-commissioned officer who was not very talented, but had a long-term outstanding performance in loyalty.

Most of the temporary seamen are selected by him.

So from him onwards, almost all kinds of positions were covered by Nelson's guards. Only Leif and Daniel, a ship doctor and a charge captain, were born on Drake's side and obtained positions. No difference.

It is conceivable that in the previous state of silence, they basically had no chance to express their opinions on the affairs of the ship.

Such short-sighted behavior of nepotism directly led to the current embarrassment on the ship. To put it bluntly, the soldiers don't know the generals, and the generals don't know the soldiers.

The temporary sailors did not believe that the sailors trained by the chamber of commerce could have the same skillful and capable naval combat skills as their colleagues, and the sailors of Drake also did not believe that these arrogant and arrogant temporary chiefs could make the correct call in such a time-sacrificing environment. give orders.

And they really didn't give the right orders!

Lorraine's face was terribly black as if it had been covered with toner.

Just a moment ago, when Blackbeard had recklessly and heroically charged the San Carlos under adverse weather conditions, Lorraine had been looking forward to a direct hit.

He really wanted to know, when the situation exceeded expectations, would the infamous pirate kings in the Caribbean die like heroes, or run away with their tails between their tails like countless thieves in the world.

As a result, the direct attack came sooner than Lorraine expected. However, after the direct attack, not only did he see Blackbeard's bravery, but Blackbeard also saw his panic.

The war has not yet started, and the heart is timid. When did the Drake Chamber of Commerce have such a bad performance on the battlefield? Unprepared, Lorraine lost a big face in front of his colleagues. Of course, he blamed all the faults on Nelson, the mediocre and incompetent head of the guard.

However, Sergeant Sikes took the initiative to find him at this juncture...

I saw him with his neck held high, with no expression of shame on his face, and even his voice was as thick and steady as ever, with an annoying air of calmness in the face of danger.

He said to Lorraine: President Drake,

Sir, let me inform you that boarding is imminent, and we are at a disadvantage. You should meet him in the stern cabin as soon as possible, use our number advantage and the topography of the stern cabin to establish a defensive line, and wait for the opportunity...

Captain Sikes. Lorraine interrupted him arrogantly without even turning his head, According to the principle of privateering and hiring, since the capture of the San Carlos, this gunboat has been the property of the Drake Chamber of Commerce gone.

Sergeant Sikes didn't understand the point of Lorraine's speech at all: President, what does the officer mean...

Lorraine interrupted for the second time: Our side is at a disadvantage. Is this the colonel's judgment? Or yours?

An angry look finally flashed across Six's face: As the temporary captain of this ship and the captain's guard, I am obliged to ensure the personal safety of the commander and you. It is my job to judge the battle situation. Although the commander disagrees, But I still believe in my ability to face the enemy and command.

In that case, don't embarrass the Colonel.

Um?

The distance between the two ships is not enough. After the direct attack, the relative speed remains 2.5 knots. The collision will be about 1 minute later, and at most 2 minutes after that, the boarding battle will begin. Lorraine quickly reported a set of data, As the upcoming Commanding against the enemy, may I ask if you have organized the stormtroopers?

The commander's guard is always ready for battle!

Sure enough, it's still the thinking of a guard. Lorraine laughed for a while, As I said at the beginning, the San Carlos is the property of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, so... Barto, you are now the owner of this ship Captain, let the guards do the work of the guards, and let our people do our work with peace of mind.

yes!

Barto promised heavily, and slammed his chest with his only safe arm, then turned around and kicked a sailor who was running blindly to the ground.

What a mess! Pass it on, I am the new captain now. The original command order is canceled on the spot, and our people must go to the dining room to collect weapons within 2 minutes and prepare for battle!

Really? The kicked sailor jumped up and shouted to the panicked deck in surprise, Papa Barto has become the captain!

The captain's order and the navy's order are canceled on the spot. Everyone has to go to the restaurant to collect equipment within two minutes. Anyone who loses his time will be thrown into the lake to feed the sharks!

oh!!!!

No less than the roar of the Blackbeard team, the Drakes, who had been suffocated all night, raised their heads to the sky and shouted.

Sergeant Sikes stared blankly at the groundless and groundless morale wave in front of him, and still couldn't figure out why he and his colleagues in the guard were suddenly dismissed...

Moreover, Lorraine's order replaced Nelson's order. If this is true, what will happen to Nelson's official dignity?

Loyalty encouraged Sergeant Sikes to argue: Mr. President, I am not questioning your ownership of this ship. But right now you and the Drake Chamber of Commerce are mercenaries, and they are under the command of the commander. If you want to adjust the ship To take up a position, you must first obtain the authorization of the chief according to the procedure...

Lorraine ignored him at all.

After handing over the manpower organization to Barto, Lorraine called Henna.

Hannah never left him too far, and jumped to his side swinging the cable before saying a word.

Hina, go to the helm immediately, full port rudder. If you run fast enough, we will have enough time to cut the side and avoid the situation where the hull is broken, so please run.

I will fly.

After saying that, Henna really flew up. She pulled the cable and flew up to the yard. With a kick, she got on the shortest and steepest cable to the handwheel. In the blink of an eye, she took control of the handwheel and released the clamp mouth, full rudder to the left.

Full left rudder! Tilt!

The San Carlos, which was in a semi-stationary state, finally moved again after a moment of panic. Taking advantage of the lake wave's roll, it slowly but steadily turned the bow to the left.

The distance between Lorraine and Blackbeard was only 20 meters, and the hulls of the two sides finally formed a very limited angle.

Cut the side!

Sloop slammed into the San Carlos' starboard hull, cracking and denting visible to the naked eye. But because of the angle that Henna grabbed, her force eventually began to deflect, leading the entire ship to rub against the starboard side of the San Carlos until the sterns of both sides smashed together.

Hull intact!

After the violent turbulence, Lorraine heard the unparalleled good news immediately.

Accompanied by this good news, the iron claws of the hook line were also thrown from the Sloop, and hooked on the deck of the San Carlos.

With a bang, Luo Lin pulled out the saber from his waist, and chopped off the two closest ones with a single wave.

He turned his head away during the first conversation with Sikes: The battle has begun, Mr. Sergeant, I think you should stay with the colonel at this moment.

Mr. President, there is an established process for the identification of the command port. I am not greedy for the authority of the captain, but no matter what, you should ask the commander for authorization!

Authorization? Lorraine shook his head, You will see Colonel Nelson soon. Please convey it to me when you see him, and say that I am very dissatisfied with his candidate, so I have to pay more for this job...
