Chapter 8 The ravaged Imperial Fleet
"What should I do?"
In the captain's depressed question, I replied: "There is no big problem. It's amazing that I just sent a few magic pets to escort you."
"Is this okay?"
"Why not?"
"But what should you do if the other party's shells hit you? Will you help us block the shells?"
"You suspect that my magic pet can't block the shells, right?"
Although the captain didn't say anything, I knew that he meant that, so I simply said: "I can't explain this kind of thing clearly. Just look at the situation yourself later. Anyway, even if it fails, it's amazing, let's do it again."
After hearing what I said, the pirate captain over there also reacted. Anyway, even if he was sunk, he would not suffer any loss, so he no longer worried.
Since I had agreed with the captain that the safety of the Dreamer was handed over to us, I could not break my promise, so I directly summoned Effrete and Brigitte to let them stand at the top of the two masts on the ship respectively. Although there was no way to stand at this position, Effrete and Brigitte were actually not really standing there, but floating there. They just used the tip of the mast as the coordinates for positioning, not really relying on it to bear the load.
The pirate captain didn't know much about my two magic pets, and even said that they didn't even know what the building creatures were, so I didn't explain much to them. Of course, relying on Forret and Brigitte alone was not enough. In addition, I also arranged Jingjing on this ship. Her mission was to provide the final protection for the Dreamer. If EFRET and Brigitte failed to intercept the attack on the Dreamer, Jingjing would use her abilities to make the final defense.
Compared to Everett and Brigitte, the pirate captain was obviously much more enthusiastic after seeing Jingjing than to see YiFreit and others. This guy didn't know what a constructed creature was, but he still knew the angel, so he went up enthusiastically and began to flatter him constantly. I hope Jingjing can do his best to protect their Dreamer in a while.
After the ship was arranged, I thought about how to fight after a while, and then communicated with the demon pets who were preparing to fight and roughly assigned tasks. But I didn't rush to summon them, otherwise I was worried that the fleet over there would not dare to come. Although there were more than a thousand warships on the other side, the problem was that they were all wooden warships. These sailing ships were not much better than toys in front of the dragons, and if you were not careful, they would be scattered. Therefore, no fleet commander would command the fleet to attack the dragon clan with a fool, unless you only know the space fleet, anyway, the sailing fleet on the sea would not expect.
After I communicated with my magic pet to arrange the mission, the pirates' robbery mission was basically completed. Just like what I experienced last time, the fleet had appeared within the sight of the pirate ship, and had begun to unfold its formation to prepare to surround the Dreamer here.
Unlike last time, the Dreamer here did not turn around and escape, but instead rushed up to the opposite fleet after completing the robbery.
I don't know if the abnormal behavior here made the opposite fleet commander very annoyed. The guy actually started to command the fleet to fire artillery more than 3,000 meters away. The opponent's cannons could obviously hit this distance, but the problem is that in the Sailing Age, the artillery was all on both sides, and the front was usually only equipped with one or two guns. The caliber was usually smaller than the side guns. Even if there were more than a thousand ships on the opposite side, it was impossible to form a covert barrage at this distance, so the Dreamer could almost say that as long as you don't have too much luck, there would be no problem.
At this time, I was standing with the captain at the bow of the Dreamer ship. A fire suddenly rose from the fleet opposite, and the captain immediately started shouting for artillery. But I had no intention of evading.
Everett and Brigitte are both constructed creatures. To put it bluntly, they are robots. The creative thinking may not be as good as ordinary creatures, but the data calculation is definitely multiple times that of ordinary people. As soon as the opposite cannon fired, they had already calculated the flight trajectory of those shells. After confirming that no one can hit, they did not care about those shells. Anyway, the use of solid bullets in this era is all used, and as long as they are not hit directly, there is no threat.
After calling around, the captain found that I was standing calmly at the bow of the ship and came over to ask me if I wanted to avoid it. I shook my head and said no, and the other party did not persuade me anymore. I probably thought I was not afraid of shells. Of course, his idea was correct. I did have been hit with solid shells once. At that time, I had not reached level 1,000. Although I had knocked out one-third of my blood, it was actually not very threatening. As for now... I guess if I had calculated the amount in advance, I could catch the shell with one hand!
Because the initial velocity of the shells with the front-loading cannon was very slow, it took a long time for the guns on the opposite side to fall after a fire flashed through the cannons on our side. Of course, because of the accurate heads of the cannons in this era, the landing points of these shells were simply terrible. The nearest shells fell into the water were still dozens of meters away from us.
Perhaps I realized that this kind of shelling at a distance was meaningless except wasting shells. It was also possible that they were trying to scare us before. Anyway, the opposite fleet became quiet after a round and did not continue to shell out, but the fleet's formation was unfolding, but instead accelerated a lot.
Seeing the fleet opposite entering a normal combat state, the captain here also shouted and began to urge the gunners below to take their seats. With the captain's order, the covers of the cannonhouses on both sides of the Dreamer were pulled up one after another, and then one cannon was pushed to the firing position and extended the muzzle outside the ship. Although it looked quite majestic, facing more than a thousand warships on the opposite side, even if there were so many artillery guns on the Dreamer, we were destined to be sunk. Fortunately, we didn't expect the Dreamer to do anything, as long as it could protect ourselves, we would be content.
"What should I do now?" The captain didn't know what to do after giving the order. If it was one-on-one, even one-on-one-on-seven, he would have the courage to command his Dreamer to deal with the enemy. But the problem is that it is more than one-on-one, and even the arrogant captain would not feel that his warship had the ability to overturn more than a thousand warships of the same level or even larger.
"Don't move first, keep the course. After we attack, you just look for the weak parts of the other party and move forward. After rushing through the entire fleet of the other party, they will inevitably turn to pursue. You just run, we will fight."
"Okay, I understand." After the captain said that, he left me and ran to the helmsman. Because he wanted to command the battle, he couldn't always stand at the bow of the ship with me.
Naval battles and air battles are two extremes. The slow pace can make people with agitated heart attacks, especially in this kind of naval battle in the era of big sailing. Although both sides are sailing head-on, even so, they ran for more than twenty minutes before finally entering the range of artillery between the two sides. Now the distance between the Dreamer and the head-row warships in the opposite fleet is between 1,500 and 800 meters. Although this distance is not too close to the front-loading gun, it can finally aim and shoot, and it can also ensure a certain accuracy.
Although the distance was so close, I still didn't move because I planned to wait until the other party fired before taking action. The other party didn't ask me to wait any longer. When the distance was between 1,400 and 700 meters, and the nearest warship was even more than 600 meters away from us, the opposite fleet finally opened fire.
Because there is no communication equipment, you can only rely on flag words, so the coordination of the fleet is very bad. The first one to fire was the enemy flagship closest to us, which was right in front of us and was rushing towards us. Originally, this kind of sailing battle should seize the upper air outlet and then go over and attack with a T-shaped battle position, but because this is a battle of more than one thousand to one. Moreover, the opponent is placing an anti-geese formation, and the two wings are forward and detour from both sides, so it is no longer possible to grab the upper air position or not.
What's the point? As for the flagship, its shelling is more like a command gun rather than really attacking us. As the flagship shelling began, the surrounding warships immediately began to fire one after another. However, the accuracy of the shells was really bad. The average distance of about one thousand meters and the first round of shells was also the first round of shells. Almost all shells did not have the correct flight track, but after all, there were too many ships firing this time, so there were still a few lucky ones. Of course, it was impossible for us to let them fight.
Just as the fleet commander on the opposite side was secretly glorious as the spectacular scene of the surrounding cannons, he suddenly saw two rays of red and gold shooting from the Dreamer here. The ray did not remain in the firing state, but flashed in a flash. It was no more than half a second from appearance to end. However, less than half a second later the beam appeared again, but the direction changed. What they saw was the two beams flashing and quickly switching, which seemed irregular, but when the light ended, the shells also fell to the ground. However, although the water smashed around the Dreamer was splashed everywhere, the Dreamer itself was unscathed. Except for many people being poured by the sea water splashed by the shells, it could be said that they were not affected at all.
"How could this happen?" the other commander shouted angrily.
The first mate on the flagship immediately said: "Your Excellency, don't be so angry. The first round is just a tentative shelling. After all, it's still so far away. Even if the fortune is just luck, it can't be said to be a performance of strength. I believe that with this round of test shooting, the hit rate will be greatly improved. As for that pirate ship, it will definitely not last for three rounds. No, after two rounds of shelling, it will definitely turn into a pile of broken wood chips."
The commander was obviously quite satisfied with this flattery. After nodding, he regained his smile. In the next second, the smile that had just recovered froze on his face.
"Okay, the opponent has made a move. It's time to fight back." On the Dreamer, I stood directly on the bow of the bow and said. The bow of the Dreamer was like a great white shark that jumped out of the water. The top was relatively flat, and it just happened to be able to stand alone. Of course, in addition to the courage required to stand here, balance is also crucial. After all, this is not a car, and the wooden shell warships will not drive as smoothly as aircraft carriers.
As my fingers waved forward, a space crack suddenly opened in front of the Dreamer, and then I saw a blood-red dragon with dazzling light flying out.
The first one to appear was not luck, but Mira, and it was in a dragon shape. As soon as Mira emerged, she immediately rushed towards the flagship in front, giving the other party no time to react. Moreover, Mira began to open her mouth and gather energy after hundreds of meters. Then a red beam of light shot out directly, hitting the bow of the warship. Then, as Mira's head slightly raised, the red beam immediately extended backwards. In an instant, it swept across the central axis of the entire warship.
When the beam swept across the entire battleship, Mira's beam disappeared completely, but the opponent did not react at all. Just when the people on the surrounding battleship thought it was a false alarm, their flagship suddenly creaked, and then the entire battleship fell from the middle to both sides, as if it was a cake cut from the middle.
Because they were too shocked, when they saw the flagships turned into two pieces, the surrounding fleet forgot to attack, so that the Dreamer was approaching the best range of the fleet and no one fired. However, they soon reacted because they didn't know when four more dragons were added to the sea.
The crew on a super-large three-masted square sail warship was staring at their flagship silly, and suddenly they heard someone shouting. When everyone turned around, they saw a giant dragon flying to the side of the hull. Then, without waiting for these people to react, the dragon stretched forward and stepped on the side of the ship. Because the impact was too strong, the entire ship tilted more than twenty degrees to the other side, and the people on the ship fell to the ground like a gourd.
Lucky, who successfully landed the ship, did not do any extra moves. He cut the main mast in the waist with one claw, then turned around and swept the foremast off. Finally, he found the entrance of the cabin and aimed his mouth at the small hole and blew a mouthful of dragon flame in. Then he immediately kicked the deck and soared into the air. The battleship below turned into pieces of wood flying in the sky with a violent explosion.
Wooden-shelled sailboats are not modern warships. Because the front-loaded artillery uses the method of filling gunpowder to fire shells, the ship must store a large amount of bulk gunpowder. The temperature of the dragon flame is as high as tens of thousands of tons. Even steel can be easily burned through, so these gunpowder explodes when they touch it? Fortunately, a mouthful of dragon flames sprayed into the warship and went to heaven without any suspense.
The explosion here had just happened. The people on a warship not far away were still stunned for them to feel sorry for them, but the next second the sea water next to them suddenly flew up, and then a huge tail was thrown out of the water and smashed on the deck with a bang. Then, like a qigong master performing a wooden board with empty hands, the big tail easily cut off the entire warship in half, turning into two pieces of wooden warships, but there was no watertight cabin to use. Besides, even if the modern warship was split in half, it would not be possible to continue floating on the water, so the ship, without any suspense, followed the footsteps of his companions and quickly sank into the seabed.
The loss of two warships in a row was not the end, but just the beginning. The huge body of the mistress began to fly over the fleet, and then he did not land, and flew directly over the fleet. The three big heads were like three cannons, and they received a dragon flame bomb at each of the warships near him, and instantly turned a large group of warships into large torches on the sea.
Compared to the mistress's three heads, the crystal did not have that exaggerated speed, but she was a fairy dragon, and the fairy dragon's biggest reliance was magic. With a strange tone, several warships on the sea suddenly began to sink for no reason. In the end, no one figured out how they sank, because the ships were not attacked at all. There was neither explosion nor fire on the ship, and of course there was no hit by anything. The whole ship sank itself so well.
In fact, the people on the ship were more confused than those outside. At least the people outside could guess that the bottom of the ship was attacked or something, but the people on the ship knew clearly that they had not been attacked, but the hull seemed to suddenly turn into stone, and then the entire ship began to sink. Seeing the sea water pouring into the ship from various openings, the crew was really crying.
The performances of several dragons were very awesome, but even more awesome were still behind. With a buzzing sound, the crew members of the Royal Blade, a large main battleship in the Empire fleet, suddenly saw a huge black shadow hitting him. Then, with a loud bang, the entire ship sank downwards, and the entire upper structure on the ship was instantly split into pieces and turned into a wreckage, but at least the warship did not sink.
Although it did not sink, the other colleagues in the Imperial Fleet wanted the Royal Blade to sink quickly because they found that there was a black beetle about the size of an entire ship on its deck. No, the beetle was not completely black. There were many golden patterns on its black and shiny carapace, which looked like a magic circle. However, what made the seamen most afraid of was that something seemed to be a cannon rose on the beetle's back.
Just as everyone was wonderingly looking at the thing, the thing suddenly started to move. The three crystal tubes on it began to emit light beams outward at a speed of three seconds, and as each beam was shot out, a warship would inevitably be blown up and split.
Even modern warships rarely resist head-on even if they are modern warships. What's more, wooden shell warships. After the bow of a large warship of an Imperial fleet was shot, the explosion directly lifted off half of the hull, and the half of the hull behind it also sank rapidly in the rolling smoke. It disappeared completely on the sea surface in almost a minute.
With the emergence of my large magic pets, the Imperial fleet on the sea is no longer in charge of the Dreamer. Now they are thinking about running quickly. If it is a fleet of the same size as them and even a larger scale fight against them, they will definitely fight with each other desperately, but the problem is that the ones fighting with them are now a group of super creatures. The cannons on the warships are too slow to load and have a narrow shooting angle. These creatures can either fly or dive, and the speed is too fast, and the cannons on the warships will not play any role at all. As for the battleboard battle... they are not warships, and where are you going to take the west side of the door? Besides, even if you are close, can you still cut these big guys? Is it like dismantling the warships without seeing them?
Although the people in the fleet were desperate, they did not have a unified opinion to escape together, but there was a little confusion for a while. However, as a larger goal appeared, all the captains unified their opinions in an instant even if they did not use flag words. The reason for this situation was that my biggest demon pet, Black Flame, appeared.
As a super creature from the Sea of Silence, although Black Flame is a negative energy creature, it can also exist in the sea of positive energy, and the Sea of Silence is also a sea, so Black Flame's underwater skills are absolutely fine. After all, they are originally a water python. It's just that the place where they live is exaggerated.
Originally, the crew members were almost out of their will to resist when they saw a giant beast like a lucky tank and Mira, who was about to be of the same size as a warship, but the size of the black flame completely lost their ability to think.
Several timid captains were commanding their warships to escape from the battle circle and flee outside. However, the other warships around suddenly found that the sea water below them had inexplicably raised a large piece upward, and then the bulge suddenly rose and lifted up all the seven or eight nearby fleeing warships. It was not until the warships flew up that everyone saw the huge triangular heads that quickly rose in the flying sea water below.
Black Yan's body shape can change with his will. Because he doesn't have that big place for him to use it, although Black Yan has participated in the war many times, he basically went into the war after shrinking. This time it was rare to encounter a sea battle, and space was not a problem at all, so I let Black Yan restore his body, and the scene just now appeared.
How long is Black Yan's body now? It's impossible to see how long it is because it has only one head and a small piece of body exposed to the sea. The reason why we call this body more than 200 meters long is because the diameter of this body is more than 200 meters. Therefore, unless Black Yan's body is square, it is impossible to be so long. But have you ever seen a snake whose body length is equal to the diameter of the body? Is that kind of thing better because it should be called a ball?
Above the body of Heiyan, more than 200 meters long, is a head as big as an aircraft carrier. Compared with this head, the warships around him are generally only one-sixth to one-eighth of the size of it. This is just a head, and the other parts have not seen it yet. You say that ordinary crew members can calm down when they see such a thing at sea? Even if a person who originally wanted to commit suicide suddenly sees such a thing, he will probably change his mind temporarily. After all, this thing is too far beyond imagination, and it is really outrageous!
"Hei Yan, over there, over there." I was hovering next to Hei Yan's eyes while Ye Ying, and then shouted loudly and pointed in a direction, where several warships were about to escape.
Actually, I didn't want to summon Black Flame, because I knew that when he came out, he would scare away the enemy's warships. The pirates' last wish was probably to destroy all the people and ships of this fleet, so we couldn't let any ship run away. However, although I didn't want Black Flame to scare away the enemy, I didn't expect that the enemy's courage was much smaller than I expected, so lucky they scared away many warships. There was no way, so I had to let Black Flame come out to help chase those fleeing warships. After all, in terms of destruction speed, he was actually the fastest.
Hei Yan immediately turned his head in the direction I pointed. After seeing the target, he first rose up, and a piece of body about 300 meters long exposed the sea, and then suddenly plunged into the sea and rushed towards the fleet running ahead. Because of the speed and the size, Hei Yan rushed over all the way through the Shanghai water was pushed up by him, and the waves separated and directly lifted all the warships along the way. In my opinion, the overturned warships were like surfboards overturned by a high-speed submarine.
Because of its large size, Hei Yan and his son rushed from the opposite side of the fleet. When he looked up, the battleships that were about to run were immediately lifted up like their companions in front of him. In addition, all the ships in this straight line were not spared. This time, they had all turned into capsized ships, which were like capsized ships that were facing the sky.
The terror of black flames has completely destroyed the resistance of all the personnel in the fleet. Even the madman is probably scared now. Everyone is thinking about running away. Moreover, because the flagship was finished at the beginning, the current fleet is scattered in all directions as if it were driving, except for going, which makes us not know which side to pursue. Fortunately, I have many people, otherwise I really don’t know what to do.
"Xiaofeng, go there. Lucky, there; plague, there; crystal, there..." He sent all the flying large demon pets out in one breath, and saw that there were some warships that fled in the direction that were no one to deal with, so I simply threw out two more mobile angels. "The warships over there are all sunk, and all those who fall into the water must be killed, so you can't leave a living."
"I understand." The demon pets and mobile angels immediately flew out after receiving the order, and I chased towards the last unassigned fleet myself.
Although the flagship of the Imperial Fleet was sunk, it was impossible for such a large fleet to be commanded by only one ship, especially in this era when communication methods were extremely backward. In fact, this fleet is divided into different small units, just like the establishment classification in the army. When the entire fleet is combined, it is a joint fleet, and there are several squadrons below. Then the squadron is divided into several groups, and each group has many ships. This way, it is easy to command after it is divided. Moreover, after the flagship is finished, it can be cooperated on a small scale, so that it will not be completely without a leader.
I am chasing this group now, but there are only three ships left in this group. However, due to our fighting style, these three ships are actually the same as new and have no injuries at all. After all, my demon pet's attack power is too strong, and as long as the target is targeted, it will sink directly. There is no situation of injury but not sinking at all.
Looking at the three warships fleeing in a hurry below, I measured it a little and rushed down. Although there was no magic pet around me, I think we can still handle the three wooden ships. (To be continued)!~!
