"Have you confirmed the other party's identity? Mr. Navigator? " Putting down the brass binoculars, Elvin looked at Milan, who was holding the Misty Silver Lamp, with an inquisitive look in his eyes.
"Yes, it's the Spirit of the Eagle. It's one of the 213 pirate ships that participated in the Baijing Harbor massacre. It's very powerful and is considered to be in the top echelon below the Pirate King.
Captain Akrava, First Mate Karawsu, and most of the crew come from a native tribe of the New World that believes in the Spirit of the Eagle.
Previously, the bounty on the entire pirate ship was over two thousand gold lions. After the massacre, the bounty has risen to three thousand gold lions. A big fish! "
Evidently, Elvin's little test wasn't too difficult for Milan, as she spoke of the Spirit of the Eagle with great familiarity.
"In terms of strength, Captain Akrava is a native wild Magus. It's estimated that he's at the standard of an official Magus, but he might be biased.
First Mate Karawsu is an Eagle Warrior, a supernatural profession unique to the natives of the New World. There's less information, but it's estimated that it's related to the Spirit of the Eagle that they believe in. At the very least, his combat prowess won't be lower than an official Knight.
In order to maintain order on the ship, apart from the two of them, there aren't any outstanding figures among the crew. Still, this setup is already luxurious enough. "
Milan had done her homework before setting off. At the very least, she wasn't completely clueless about the 213 pirate ships and the pirates on board. She had even created detailed files on some of the more famous pirates.
In this process, the kingdom's intelligence system played a huge role. In just a short ten days after the massacre, the kingdom's intelligence department had already completed the collection and sorting of the information, and distributed it to the navy.
This was one of the benefits of being backed by a powerful faction.
With this information, it was clear who they could afford to offend and who they couldn't at a glance. As for the Spirit of the Eagle, it was obvious that the two of them had already viewed it as prey!
Elvin naturally had information on the pirates, and with the aid of his' Data Analysis Vision ', Elvin's analysis of the pirates' information and records would only be more comprehensive.
Elvin also knew that they used to be part of the Azik Empire, a terrifying civilization that kept living sacrifices for a long time. When they discovered the new continent a hundred years ago, they had already been wiped out by the hegemon of the seas, the Kingdom of Shilius. Now, only a few scattered remnants were left.
Based on the analysis of past intelligence, in terms of direct combat strength, this pirate ship may not even be comparable to the former "White Shark Skook" alone. However, they needed to be especially careful of the sinister witchcraft that the native wizards might have mastered.
Furthermore, who would be foolish enough to engage in close combat with him when they could launch a sneak attack? That's right, for the sake of caution, Elvin's strategy today was to use the fog as a cover and directly sink it from a distance!
"Huh? Organ Divination?"
Suddenly, Elvin, who was constantly paying attention to the movements of the other party's ship, noticed something amiss. After spending almost half a year in the Shadow Library, although he was still not very clear about the high-end knowledge and the path forward for a wizard, at least he had a broad range of knowledge.
He immediately recognized the 'visceral divination' technique that was very popular among the native adepts.
This kind of witchcraft was able to communicate with the souls of animals that were on the verge of death, ignoring the obstruction of the material world and directly probing the surrounding information from the Spirit World.
Although the secret treasure of the sea, the "Fog Silver Lamp", had the ability to naturally block directional witchcraft, it could not block the probing of the Spirit World. However, it was fortunate that he had a professional on board!
"Milan, we have not reached the optimal attacking distance yet. Is there any way to disrupt him?"
"Watch me!"
As an official "Prophet" who specialized in the School of Prophecy, how could Milan's ability be compared to a wild wizard who dabbled in the art of divination?
She took out the transparent crystal ball that she always carried with her, her fingertips constantly drawing on the surface of the crystal ball as she muttered. Soon, in Elvin's spiritual vision, he saw a faint stream of pure white light spread throughout the entire warship.
[Witchcraft: Divination Counter]
In the eyes of others, there were no changes, but this witchcraft had in fact smoothed out all traces of the warship in the spiritual world in the past hour. At the very least, it was impossible to detect any abnormalities with the crude "visceral divination" technique.
.....
The wizard opened his eyes in confusion. "Could it be that I'm overthinking it?"
No matter how confused he was, the result of the divination clearly told him that everything was normal, and there were no abnormalities in the outside world.
After thinking about it, he still ordered, "Lookout, pay attention to the situation on the surface of the sea. Everyone else, be careful. The sudden fog might not last long. Once the visibility reaches the standard, we will leave this area immediately. "
"Yes, Captain!"
However, in the vast white fog that they could not see, a warship with its cannons lit up and its crew lined up with guns was approaching at full speed. It was already less than five hundred meters away from them.
"Gunner, get ready. You will personally calibrate the cannons!"
Other than Milan, who was the owner of the secret treasure, Elvin, the helmsman, and the gunner had also obtained secondary authority to see in the fog.
Not only that, in the [Witchcraft: Mind Connection] that Milan used, she had connected the vision of the cannoneer and the gunner, sharing the ability to see in the fog together.
Cheating! This was blatant cheating!
Obviously, Elvin's plan was to directly kite the "Spirit of the Eagle" to death!
So what if the cannons had a low hit rate? As long as there were enough cannons, there would be enough hits below the waterline. Moreover, Elvin planned to personally take action and use the ability of "Sniper Musketeer" to play the role of a cannoneer!
In this upcoming hunt, the biggest disadvantage of the opponent was that they could not see the opponent and could only passively defend. They could not attack unless Elvin was stupid enough to give up his advantage and engage in a boarding battle.
"Continue to approach. When you are a hundred meters away, go downwind! Approach from the back of the ship and we will skewer its butt! "
Even in the active position, Elvin was cautious enough. He did not want other unexpected factors such as smell to alert the pirate ship in advance. Before the battle, no one could guess what abilities the official wizards had.
At the same time.
Five white seagulls each grabbed a potion bottle filled with dark green liquid and flew up. Elvin raised the muzzle of the "Thorny Golden Rose".
"Listen to my orders! Pre … Ready! Reload, fire! "
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The moment they passed by the pirate ship, the ten 12-pound cannons on the left side of the "Roaring Conch" opened fire at the same time.
Different from the usual iron cannonballs, Elvin had enough time to prepare. He used a very powerful special cannonball: "Scorching Bullet".
This type of cannonball was very powerful, but it needed to be used carefully. The usage was to use the furnace fire to heat the solid bullet until it was red. When loading, a lump of wet mud was needed between the gunpowder and the cannonball to prevent the extremely hot cannonball from igniting the gunpowder.
It was conceivable that in the crowded and noisy cabin, there were sailors running around everywhere. Gunpowder barrels and cannonballs were piled up everywhere. Therefore, the use of the scorching bullet had to be very careful. The slightest mistake could lead to an accident. Therefore, the scorching bullet needed to be baked and transported by someone.
However, its power was proportional to its troublesome degree. The scorching bullet could penetrate the enemy's solid hull like it was paper. If luck was good enough, the scorching bullet could hit the enemy's gunpowder barrel and cause a huge explosion! It could easily end a battle!
Therefore, if it were not for the complicated operation and the high risk, the "scorching bullet" would definitely be the cannoneer's favorite!
In this fog, Elvin was not worried about the pirate ship escaping. Therefore, in today's battle, Elvin boldly used this killer weapon.
Because of the pre-calibration, the first round of shots had a very high hit rate. It easily opened up a total of five holes behind the "Spirit of the Eagle". One was near the waterline and the other four were higher. Unfortunately, this round of scorching bullets did not ignite the pirate ship's gunpowder compartment …
However, because of the cannon deck design in this era, before the cannonball's kinetic energy was exhausted, it could destroy everything in its path.
The navies who witnessed all of this could not help but feel a chill run down their spines …
"Enemy attack!!!"
The roar of the cannon fire made the pirates instantly react and shout a warning.
However, this was not the only wave of attacks that had been brewing for a long time.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Five dark green potion bottles fell from the sky.
It was the "Powerful Voodoo Potion (Combat Version)" that had long been completed by Dilis! Elvin also shared the results of this research because of his key contribution.
In a narrow space like the deck of a ship, this kind of weapon of mass destruction was far more useful than on land.
