Boom!
The sailors on the Silver Wing had just gotten ready for battle when the dense rumbling of cannons rang out in the fog. Countless solid cannonballs rained down like a storm.
The two pirate ships cut in from the downwind of the Silver Wing one after another, directly cutting off the Silver Wing's escape route. The side of the ship facing the Silver Wing opened all the cannons, wishing that they could pour out all the cannonballs in one go.
Fortunately, after Elvin discovered the problem with the fog, he immediately took control of the sails and cooperated with the helmsman to make the Silver Wing circle around, preventing the warship from being caught in a dangerous situation of being pincered by the two pirate ships.
Otherwise, if the Silver Wing was caught in a pincer attack, there would be almost no suspense in this naval battle.
After the pirates launched their attack, the fog gradually dissipated.
The thick fog gradually dissipated. Although the pirates had the means to control the fog, they couldn't let every pirate have the ability to see through the fog.
But even so, the Silver Wing had lost its chance to escape and was completely at a disadvantage …
Boom!
Boom!
Under the command of the gunner captain, the cannoneers fired back with all their might, but they could not change the disparity between the twenty cannons on one side of the ship and the forty cannons on the other side.
"Close the distance and prepare to jump ship!"
Gör's order was like thunder, clearly transmitted to the ears of every sailor on the ship. After the naval battle officially began, even though Vice Admiral Snyder had the highest military rank on the ship, the command still belonged to the captain.
Gör's tall body, which was as tall as a cliff, stood straight. He quietly stood in his command position at the aft of the ship, and his firm and confident voice gave the crew great encouragement.
It calmed them down from the panic of the sudden attack.
In a situation where the difference in firepower was too great and they could not escape, using a jump ship to directly deal with the pirates on the other ship was the Silver Wing's only chance.
If it was in a world without supernatural powers, the Silver Wing would have almost no chance of turning the tables under such circumstances. But in this world, the individual strength of Extraordinaires had created a slight possibility for them to do so.
Bang … Bang …
Elvin's heart was also pounding in the dense cannonballs. From time to time, solid shells would land on the ship with great kinetic energy, easily shattering the wooden planks and tearing human bodies apart. At this time, no one could guarantee that the next shell would not land on their heads.
Although Elvin was already an official supernatural being, in this kind of battlefield where artillery shells were flying everywhere, any stray bullet that hit his vitals would undoubtedly kill him on the spot!
At this moment, as the fog dissipated, the pattern on the pirate's sail could be seen clearly.
"It's them? Didn't the intelligence say that they were attacking the route to the New World? Why would they come here to ambush us? " Milan was worthy of being called an intelligence expert. With just a glance, she had already confirmed the identity of the two pirate ships. She couldn't help but exclaim.
However, for the time being, Milan did not have the time to think about why they, who should be frantically plundering the sea route, would actually come here without anyone knowing. She quickly shared the information with the combat personnel on the Silver Wing.
"Everyone, listen to me …"
"Shark Tooth Pirates?!"
Although Elvin was the first person to see the full appearance of the enemy, it was only now that he knew who the enemy was. It had to be said that although Elvin's talent as a Knight was not bad, as a qualified naval officer, he still lacked experience and accumulation. This was something that he should learn from Milan.
After sharing the information with Milan, Elvin and the others found out that the pirates were the flagship of the Shark Tooth Pirates, and their main warship, the Barracuda, which was supposed to be wreaking havoc in the New World's sea route.
The pirate captain was "White Shark" Skook, who had a bounty of 2,000 Gold Lions in the Kingdom of Faletis alone. The total bounty of the various countries might even be multiplied by 10!
This was a great pirate who had been famous for many years. He was at least a powerful existence at the peak of an official Knight. The pirate crew under his command had at least seven main battle pirate ships at its peak. Even in a place like the New World where good and bad people mixed together, he was no longer a small character.
Legend had it that "White Shark" was cursed by a black wizard a few years ago, and since then, he could no longer sleep like a shark. However, sharks in nature could rely on their left and right brains to take turns to rest and continue swimming in the sea. Although he was called "White Shark", Skook obviously did not have this ability, even if he was a peak Transcendent.
Due to long-term lack of sleep, his personality became particularly violent, cruel, and bloodthirsty. The merchant ships that he targeted often ended up in a terrible state. The cargo and passengers were often washed with blood, to the extent that the majority of sailors would turn pale at the mention of it.
According to the internal intelligence of the navy, "White Shark" was so violent that he had gradually lost his mind. Even against the pirates, he often killed people at the slightest provocation, which had long caused the dissatisfaction of most of the crew.
However, because they were afraid of his powerful strength and cruel punishment methods, no one dared to escape.
However, the signs of unrest had gradually begun to appear. "One-Eyed Becky", who had fled to the coastal waters and was killed some time ago, might have had the idea of independence, but it did not succeed.
However, the curse did bring benefits to Skook. Under the influence of the curse, his body had a mutation similar to that of a shark. He had many physiological characteristics that only sharks had, such as the ability to breathe underwater and enter the state of madness at any time.
Especially when he lost control of his emotions, he was simply an irrational, bloodthirsty beast. He was powerful, dangerous, and irresistible.
Knowledgeable people knew that this guy did not need to be killed at all. In such an extreme state, he could not live for more than two or three years. Therefore, during this period, it was like facing a mad dog with rabies. No one wanted to provoke this guy who was about to go crazy.
On the Silver Wing, no one wondered why Skook targeted them. It was not surprising that such a crazy guy would do something shocking. Now, it was the right thing to do to deal with this crisis.
The three most powerful people on the warship had already gathered together. They were the captain of the ship, Colonel Gale, who was at the peak of the official knight level; Captain Elvin, who was a junior official knight; and Lieutenant Colonel Lesini, who was Lieutenant General Slater's adjutant and guard.
Goal: Gather all forces and behead "White Shark" Skook!
"Our firepower is absolutely weak, and at the peak of the Shark Tooth Pirates, including One-Eyed Becky, who has already been killed, there were at least six Transcendents. Now, we don't know how many Transcendents are on these two pirate ships.
However, as long as we can behead Skook, the remaining pirates will not choose to fight to the death with us as long as they still have reason. Our crisis will be resolved! "
Garl made a final summary of the operation.
