Captain Ammand was initially suspicious of Sheyan's claim to be a sailor from the east. Even in the present world, it was common for employees to exaggerate when they were applying for jobs. But after seeing Sheyan's performance, his suspicions were dispelled. Even if a person could act, in the face of the might of the sea, this calm composure of an experienced sailor could not be faked!
Instead, the unlucky Chris's leg injury was not fully healed, after the bumpy ride on the ship, he vomited until he was in a complete mess, almost vomiting his guts out. However, Chris previously emphasized that he had a close relationship with Sheyan. Ben Morgan who had suffered the most under Sheyan's hands was eagerly running up and down to attend to him. It seemed like he was trying to take a roundabout route to save his country, hoping that this savior of his cousin would put in a few good words for Sheyan to avoid the tragic fate of being chased out of the cabin for a night.
The wind on the sea was gradually getting stronger, the waves were rolling up and down. Just by looking at the surging momentum, one could feel an irresistible majesty between heaven and earth. If one were to look down from above, the Bell and Mug with a displacement of 600 tons and a capacity of 200 passengers was like a falling leaf, floating and sinking in the boundless ocean, as though it could capsize at any moment.
But at this moment, in the distant skies, a huge ray of light flashed! It was as if a glaring bolt of lightning had pierced through the sky in an instant. At this moment, the skin of everyone who looked at the lightning was dyed with a layer of luster. It was as if the lightning had come to life and was wandering on their skin. Even their pupils became lonely. The lookout on the sail, Boat, had already shouted out loudly.
"The Flying Dutchman has released the signal!"
"The enemy is in the west, 11 nautical miles away!"
Sheyan knew the origin of that ray of light, because he had heard before in the bar that the captain of the legendary pirate ship Queen Anne's Revenge, Blackbeard, was proficient in black magic. That was the warning signal he released. However, this magic did not have any offensive capabilities, it could be seen as the Pirates of the Caribbean version of a large scale firework. In Pirates of the Caribbean 4, Blackbeard was even able to store a legendary pirate ship like the Black Pearl into a rum bottle as a collector's item. From this, one could see the brilliance of his black magic.
Upon witnessing the fireworks, Ammand's body straightened like a spear. Unknowingly, he had already donned a deep black commander's hat on his head. "Clang!" He unsheathed his rapier and shouted loudly.
"Left full rudder! Hoist the jib and sail west at full speed! "
At this time, Ammand's body flashed with a dazzling white light. Under the direction of his sword, the entire ship was enveloped in a layer of faint white light. Obviously, the ship's special ability: Slippery Wind has begun to take effect. When sailing against the wind, the ship's speed will greatly increase! The pirate ship's speed increased again as it sped towards the west. According to Sheyan's estimation, its movement speed had increased by at least 30%!
Even though the ship sped up, by the time it entered the battlefield, it was already in full swing! Without a doubt, the Caribbean Sea's King of Speed, the Black Pearl would always be the first to arrive at the battlefield to launch an attack. Following closely behind would be the Endeavour that possessed the same acceleration ability. The Paragon fleet's two battleships were forced to engage in battle. Following closely behind was the Flying Dutchman who had arrived and released the signal. By the time the Bell and Mug broke through a huge wave and entered the battlefield, the three merchant ships were like defenseless lambs in front of them!
"Ready ~ ~ ~ Fire!" Ammand once again raised his silver rapier! Following that forceful downward slash, the Bell and Mug tilted towards the right. At the same time, 10 tongues of flame shot out from the left! White fog pervaded the air, it was the 10 cannons on the left side of the ship that had started firing. However, the spanish merchant Fernandes was notorious for selling black slaves during his early days, how could he be easy to deal with? His 3 ships were not inferior to a warship in terms of water consumption or tonnage, they were not inferior in any way. They were armed merchant ships in name only. Out of the 10 cannons of the Bell and Mug, only 2-3 hits would be successful. They were completely unable to pose any threat to the thick and coarse armed merchant ships!
However, Ammand did not seem to have high hopes for his own ship's cannons. After a few rounds of symbolic bombardment, he directly ordered the ship to speed up and prepare for a boarding battle! To a pirate ship captain, this was their favourite method. Because once they succeeded in boarding, not only could they plunder as much wealth as possible, they could even seize the entire merchant ship. Of course, the risk of boarding battle and the casualties of the sailors was also rather shocking.
Even though the huge waves soared to the heavens, the white waves rolled, but the Bell and Mug relied on its incredible speed to swiftly sail parallel to the left heavy merchant ship. The distance between the two was rapidly shortening! Seeing that they were about to successfully board, at this moment, Sheyan suddenly felt an immense pressure pressing in from the left. This pressure was formless and without substance, yet it was surging violently. Not only was it hard to resist, if one were to touch it, one would instantly be crushed to pieces!
Sheyan immediately pounced forward, as he laid flat on the deck. He then pulled down the bewildered Chris, who was at a loss of what to do. Chris had just regained his strength and wanted to take a breather in the cabin. In the end, Chris was dragged down by Sheyan by his ankle. His face fell flat on the ground, blood gushed out from his nose, and two of his front teeth were knocked out. This guy was sobbing as he tried to raise his head to curse, but at this moment he was horrified to see that the left merchant ship suddenly opened up, revealing a row of neat black cannons. While everyone was still at a loss of what to do, a total of 37 brand new heavy cannons produced by the Ceska Polyovka munitions factory simultaneously spat out terrifying flames!
At this moment, the high speed Bell and Mug suddenly shuddered, forcefully shifting 7-8 metres horizontally. It was as if it was heavily pushed by an invisible giant hand from the left. At least 20 heavy cannonballs successfully bombarded its hull. One could clearly see, the right side of the Bell and Mug exploded with a huge cloud of dust, that was the tragic scene of a large amount of smashed wood fragments and even blood and flesh! The owner of this merchant ship, Fernandez, was actually so good at enduring, only revealing his trump card at this time!
After this round of cannonballs, the Bell and Mug suffered disastrous losses. Because they were about to dock, at least 70% of the pirates were excitedly gathered on the deck. After this painstakingly planned round of cannonballs, at least a third of the pirates were injured or killed. Some of the pirates were even pushed into the sea by the shockwaves from the cannonballs. Amongst the casualties was the chief officer, Scarface Harry. This tall and sturdy giant was trying to save his comrades, his head was struck by a washbasin sized piece of the ship's hull. Not only did his head bleed like a river, he fell into a state of unconsciousness, his life or death unknown.
Fortunately, the cannons of this era were still in a relatively backward state. After firing once, the cannon had to undergo a cleaning process, reloading and other complicated procedures. Furthermore to Fernandez, his main occupation was still a merchant and not a soldier. His hired sailors were also not skilled cannoneers. During this period of time, the interval between firing was relatively longer. This undoubtedly gave the battle-hardened Ammand enough time to counterattack!
"Turn the rudder 70 degrees!"
Ammand's body was still ramrod straight, only his hawk-like eyes were exceptionally sharp and venomous. His voice was like a whip lashing out at the pirates beside him! It caused them to instinctively jump up and execute the order.
"Horizontal sail 3! Starboard wind! "
"Lower 4 sails!"
Following this series of orders, Ammand strode to the front of the main mast. He raised the rapier in his hand and flicked it. The massive main sail instantly slid down with a whooshing sound. The silver rapier in Ammand's hand emitted a glaring white radiance that enveloped the entire ship, resonating with the ram at the tip of the ship's bow. The entire Bell and Mug instantly turned horizontally. When it was hit by the cannonballs, it was parallel to the merchant ship. Now with this rapid change of direction, it formed a T-shape with the merchant ship!
At this moment, the waves were like a wall crashing towards them. But the Bell and Mug forcefully broke through the waves, splashing water all over the sky. Relying on the high speed inertia, it crazily crashed into the enemy ship!
If previously the Bell and Mug was like a willow leaf drifting in the vast ocean, then at this moment, its captain was completely dominating it! This pirate ship had transformed into the sharp edge of the silver rapier in his hand! Slender, elegant, cruel, invincible! With a sense of insanity, he aimed at the enemy's abdomen and stabbed!
