Looking at Baldwin's current appearance, it was somewhat eye-catching.
Elvin, who was holding a notebook and preparing to record next to him, could not help but pause the tip of his pen.
If this kind of "skin" were to be worn, their morale would be reduced by half even without fighting!
Change, it must be changed!
"Ahem … Let's test our combat power. Flake, you'll be Baldwin's opponent! "
"Yes, sir!"
Flake once again stepped out from the crowd.
After holding his sword and performing a duel etiquette.
Thud!
At the same time, he stepped forward and rushed towards his opponent.
The wind whistled as the two moved quickly on the deck with training swords in their hands and clashed.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Now, they were somewhat similar to the time when Elvin and "Blood Anchor" Zach fought on the "Yellow Swan".
Soon.
Elvin already had a rough evaluation result of his first "Animated Animal Skin" work.
After receiving the basic version of the "Transcendent Military Swordsmanship" inheritance, after a long period of hard training, he barely reached the level of a mid-level Novice, representing the level of most battleship crew members, Baldwin.
At this moment, he was actually able to fight evenly with Flake.
At this time, Flake had already firmly stepped into the late level of a Novice Knight Apprentice, and had also been taught by Elvin many times in his swordsmanship. He was already one of the best among the ordinary crew members.
Even if it was just an "Animated Skin" made from an ordinary shark, it had at least raised Baldwin's level by a small level, giving him the ability to fight a late-level Novice.
In the sea, suitable demonized creatures were hard to come by, but ordinary ferocious fish were still available.
"Okay, stop!"
Elvin did not need to see the end to guess the result.
Although the "Animated Animal Skin" was powerful, its own power was limited. After a certain time limit, it would begin to absorb the host's power.
Or it could be removed from the state of possession and soak in a special potion to recharge before it could be used again.
Both of their swordsmanship were only at the beginner level, and neither of them had an overwhelming advantage. Gradually, they reached a stalemate.
In the end, the "Animated Animal Skin" reached its limit, and after absorbing all the power in Baldwin's body, it would be beaten back to its original form.
The duration was related to the quality of the "Animated Animal Skin" itself and the physical fitness of the host.
Even if it continued, it would not make much sense.
And …
The enemy target of the blockade of the supply line mission had appeared!
He had a thought.
"Attention to all units, the target has appeared! Repeat, to all units, the target, the target has appeared! "
A slightly immature but serious voice sounded from the ship.
At the same time, a snow-white owl with a wingspan of nearly two meters flew out from the captain's cabin and landed on the main mast of the battleship.
Facing the deck, the curved beak opened and closed.
"Attention all units, the target has appeared. Straight line distance: 180 kilometers. Please be prepared!"
The alarm just now actually came from Beth.
While Elvin was's advancement Sorcery's body, it also Advancement Advancement Advancement His body had shrunk a little, making him look more sturdy.
Advancement Advancement Advancement Advancement Advancement advancement to Advance Advance Advancement to 'Advancement to Sora's to Of course to Sorcerer to Sora of him.
Beth, who was connected to Elvin's soul, learned very quickly. Now, even simple tactical terms were not difficult for it. It even knew more words than many crew members who did not go to grammar school.
Now, in addition to being Captain Elvin's pet, it also obtained another identity – the herald of the battleship "Storm Horn"!
The officers on the ship were pulled into the same channel by Milan's Spiritual Connection and saw the situation on the sea in the distance.
"Huh? Groups of pirate ships? And these people are … Bastards! Damn it!! "
In the south of the two battleships.
At a place about 180 kilometers away.
A mixed fleet of four pirate ships with different flags appeared on the surface of the sea.
"I can't stand Mallory, this disgusting guy. Butcher! Butcher! What's the point of killing ordinary people like slaughtering pigs?
The ship is covered in blood, and the stench is overwhelming.
No one else can stay on the ship he stayed on! How can his crew put up with that kind of guy? "
This mixed fleet consisted of a three-masted galleon and three single-masted schooners that usually sailed offshore.
Especially that three-masted galleon with red sails. From the looks of it, it was actually a fifth-grade military ship!
It belonged to a great pirate "Butcher" Mallory who had just come to the "Golden Sea" from the Old Continent. He was also a fish that escaped from the "Navy New Star Project".
Although he had not been in the New Continent for a long time, this great pirate had earned himself a place in the pirate city of Shipwreck Bay with his madness and bloodthirstiness regardless of gender and age.
He believed in his own strength and did not need enemies or companions!
As long as someone sailed for him and gave him a bottle of wine, he alone was a pirate group!
After getting this fifth-level ship from the Kingdom of Thessaly for a long time, Mallory had never thought of giving it a proper name. He just made a name for himself in the "Golden Sea" with the bloody sail.
Even if the quality of his crew was poor, a veteran Knight was not a cabbage anywhere.
From the route of this pirate fleet, it was obvious that under the call of the pirate king of the "Golden Sea", Bradley, even Mallory, who had just arrived, was one of the responders to harass the colonies of the two countries.
And he was the main force of this fleet!
However, his bad habits were unbearable even for the other pirates.
Cannon branding, spikes, broken bones … Every scene was challenging the limits of a normal person's mind.
The captain of the pirate ship "Sturgeon", "Greedy" Jobley, could not help but say those words to his first mate.
However.
It would be a big mistake to think that this was a "chivalrous" pirate with a little conscience!
Jobley would not tell others that he had taken a fancy to the fifth-level military ship that was not valued by the "Butcher". It was a waste to put it in the hands of a guy like Mallory.
It was said that even in the privateer fleets organized by the government, the fifth-level cruising ship was the absolute main force.
If any pirate could get a warship as a ride, it would definitely be a double gain of fame and fortune, gaining strength and prestige in both directions.
But he had to be wary of another guy … His eyes subconsciously looked at the sloop with various southern continent Anumar decorations behind him.
He seemed to hear the sound of gnawing on human bones on the iron altar again.
He could not help but curse, "If I peel off their skin, will they still be human? Whether it's Mallory or that black Mopilati, they are all perverts! "
After intercepting a Faletis merchant ship that happened to pass by, there were basically no survivors under their hands. Even if they were sold as slaves, it would be worth a lot of money, right?
"Ah!"
"Don't … Let me go!"
Hearing the shrill and weak begging for mercy from the fifth-level ship not far away, it was obvious that this guy did not really have any sympathy. He changed his expression and laughed strangely.
"Hehe! I think Mallory is already half crazy, who knows when he will suddenly lose control and turn into a beast.
When the time comes, it is very possible to take over his fifth-level ship without any effort! "
Standing on the Sturgeon, which served as the vanguard, Jobley's mind was running wild when he suddenly realized that there was a thin fog rising from the sea ahead.
"Eh? Why is there a sudden fog on the sea in this season? Shouldn't we have not reached the Giant Horn Cape Fishery yet? "
.....
"Target confirmed!
A fifth-level cruising ship, confirmed to be a Tulip Alliance warship, pirate captain, veteran Knight 'Butcher' Mallory.
Three sloop sailing ships, total number of Transcendents no less than three.
The total number of pirates is no less than five hundred, the number of cannons on the ship is eighty, most of them are nine-pounder cannons …
Repeat mission objective: Block the route, prevent all kinds of enemy ships from entering the battle area as much as possible! "
Besmir had already reported to the crew the information of the pirate fleet, and from the words alone, it was very powerful.
With three to four Transcendents and more than five hundred bloodthirsty pirates, it was enough to capture some small colonial cities.
At this time.
Elvin's reconnaissance network had exceeded 200 kilometers, and the limiting factor was the seabirds' own hardware foundation.
However, the current reconnaissance range was just right, and even if it was expanded, it would not be of any strategic significance to Elvin.
First of all, even if the hundreds of seabirds were all released, a vacuum area would inevitably be created in a large area, creating loopholes in the reconnaissance network.
Secondly, too long a distance exceeded the mobility limit of the "Storm Horn". If an enemy was discovered two hundred kilometers away, if the direction was wrong, it was almost impossible to catch up with them, and they could only watch the enemy slip away under their nose.
In addition to his own improvement, upgrading the seabird network, expanding the flight formation, increasing the warship's mobility, increasing the crew's combat effectiveness … all of these required Elvin to perfect and improve bit by bit.
Even so.
Elvin had also easily discovered Mallory, who had killed all the captives of Faletis, and the Anuma, Moprati, who was squatting on an iron altar and eating bloody human bones with relish.
This shocking scene made Elvin and all the officers on the line felt their hair stand on end.
It was normal to be defeated and killed in the sea, but to be slaughtered like livestock, to be eaten like cattle and sheep, this was far beyond everyone's psychological bottom line!
And those who were killed were the citizens of the Kingdom of Faletis that he was supposed to protect!
Afterward, Elvin's orders were filled with a chilling aura.
"Captain Robbins! Goose Formation, let's teach these damn guys a lesson! "
"Milan! Find the right time to activate the Mist Silver Lamp! "
The "Mist of War" and "Kiting" tactic had already proven its effectiveness during the last pirate hunt. This time, the ship was bigger and had more cannons, and the power of this tactic would only be stronger.
If they were hit by the 24-pound heavy cannons on the lower deck, it would only take one round to send those fragile single-masted schooners to the bottom of the sea.
So.
The two battleships had already opened their pockets and were ready to fight before they entered the pirates' vision.
It was just that the battle took a little too long.
Even if the two sides sailed opposite each other, the distance of 180 kilometers took more than six hours before the four pirate ships plunged into the fog released by the "Mist Silver Lamp."
On the "Storm Horn," Elvin rarely used honorifics.
"Mr. Boris, it's up to you! I'm looking forward to seeing the effect of the "Cannon Mastery" that can push the cannon performance to the limit on these sea scum. "
Even if it wasn't for the mission of blocking the supply line, Elvin was not prepared to give these people who had lost their bottom line a chance to continue living.
Among the officers on the ship, a tall middle-aged officer with light blonde hair and a messy beard stepped forward and solemnly saluted.
"Yes, Sir Captain! We won't let you down! "
