"Kacha Kacha" a loud sound resounded, the two ships shook violently! The ram at the front of the Bell and Mug was probably some special legendary item, during the intense collision, a glaring ray of light flashed out. It was like a hot knife through butter as it smashed into the interior of the merchant ship. From a bird's eye view, the Bell and Mug was like a venomous sharp sword, piercing deeply into the merchant ship's belly!
The crouching pirates cried out in excitement. First, they brandished their lassos that were tied to heavy objects and hurled them over. While binding the two ships, they constructed multiple passageways. Then, with ragged clothes, they brandished their muskets and cutlasses as they charged forward. The opposing merchant ship had organized their men to fire a volley of bullets, but the sparse bullets only managed to kill 5-6 pirates. This incited the ferocious nature of the remaining pirates. One-eyed Cuarón displayed his formidable strength as a crew head, not only did he charge at the frontlines, his entire body was bathed in blood, as he roared and chopped down 5-6 pirates with his axe. The morale of the pirates following him was greatly boosted, as they cleared the deck in a spurt of energy.
In a hand-to-hand battle, occupying the enemy's deck could be considered as having the upper hand. But if the enemy's resistance was tenacious, then the most arduous part would be the subsequent room by room clearing. In particular, this merchant ship should have a draft of more than a thousand tons. It was divided into at least three levels, and each level had twenty to thirty rooms. The sailors hid in the rooms with their muskets and axes on standby, forming a situation where they were outnumbered. It was truly a tough bone to crack.
At this moment, Ammand stood up. His face was gloomy, but his eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty and excited light. His body was as straight as a pencil as he placed his hand on the hilt of the rapier at his waist. With the grace of a general stepping onto the dance floor, he walked down the stairs of the cabin in large strides. The pirates behind him raised their weapons and charged in.
After descending the stairs, they were met with a resistance line formed by 10 sailors. They relied on the narrow terrain of the cabin, in front of them were a few musketeers half kneeling on the ground, "Pa Pa" they pulled the trigger. As Ammand's appearance was obviously that of a leader amongst the pirates, almost all the lead bullets were directed towards him! Instead, Ammand's face revealed a cruel and bloodthirsty grin. In a flash, he pulled out the silver rapier by his waist. With a dazzling speed, he pierced through the air. His speed was so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to capture it. Everyone could only see a few silver lines appearing beside Ammand. Then, the bullets that were shot at him were deflected and embedded deeply into the surrounding wooden walls.
Following that, Ammand's speed did not decrease, as he strode past this temporary camp constructed by the sailors. Behind him, the faces of the 10 sailors were filled with fear, their faces in disbelief, as they stood rooted to the ground. After a while, their throats, brows, chest and other vital points, blood spurting out, blood, and then they slowly collapsed to the ground. The afterimage that lingered in their pupils after they died was still the elegant, dignified, and upright figure of Ammand, who was slowly walking away!
The pirates at the back were already used to such a scene, they first gazed at their captain with reverence, before swarming forward. They very professionally plundered the corpses, and categorized the plundered treasures. Then they bluntly used the clothes of the dead to wipe off the blood on their hands, and tossed the naked corpses into the sea. At present, Sheyan wanted to attempt to follow, but after witnessing the terrifying might of Ammand leading the way, as well as the clean and efficient flow of the pirates, he immediately halted his steps.
Because if he followed, even if he could pick up a small advantage, he would still be despised by the pirates. Don't ever forget, he still had a side mission to raise his reputation amongst the pirates. He definitely wouldn't do something like losing the bigger picture for a small gain. Instead, Chris wasn't willing to sit idly by and watch this golden opportunity to beat a drowning dog, and directly followed.
The battle cries gradually faded into the depths of the ship's hold. Obviously, Ammand couldn't maintain that perverse state of 'one man against a thousand men'. But it was undeniable that these pirates, under his leadership, had erupted with their greatest strength. Sheyan remained on the deck of the Bell and Mug, his arms crossed in front of his chest. Ignoring the disdainful gazes of the surrounding pirates, he coldly stared at the rows of black cannons on the merchant ship. In his heart, he had a faint feeling, that the pirates' attack was a little too smooth.
After all, the majority of the pirate ships had yet to arrive due to the speed of the ships. This meant that at least a third of the alliance's forces had yet to be deployed, and the Spanish fleet was already showing signs of defeat. This was truly illogical, if the Paragon fleet was so easy to deal with, then why would the British navy borrow the strength of the pirates? The only explanation ….. was that the trump card of the Spanish merchant Fernandez was definitely not limited to this!
While Sheyan was observing from the ship's bow, the Spanish Invincible Fleet's flagship that was engaged in battle with the Black Pearl abruptly changed directions. Then, the Spanish Invincible Fleet's flagship forced the Black Pearl to retreat with a ferocious bombardment. Following that, the Invincible Fleet's flagship suddenly tossed down three lifeboats!
At this time, the age of navigation had already started for a hundred years. Shipbuilding techniques were rather exquisite, and the division of labor was rather clear. Currently, the 3 boats that were tossed into the sea were lifeboats, but in actual fact, each boat's displacement was close to a hundred tonnes. The arrangement of sail and oarsmen was also relatively complete. One could clearly see, there were several fully armed Spanish navy soldiers. Riding the wind and breaking the waves, they charged towards the Bell and Mug like an arrow released from a bow!
If it was during normal times, the people on these 3 ships could only be described as' courting death '. Relying on the high speed of the Bell and Mug, they could easily leave them behind forever, before using the 3 5lb curved cannons at the stern to kite them to death! But now, the Bell and Mug had crashed deep into the merchant ship's belly, and was tied up tightly by the pirates. Fearing that the enemy would escape, it was equivalent to losing the ability to move.
What was even more serious was that at this moment, Captain Ammand had led crew head Cuaron and the majority of the elites to charge into the merchant ship! Furthermore, the chief officer Scarface Harry had been struck in the head and was unconscious. Under such circumstances, the remaining people were either the old or the sick, or the injured pirates who had returned to recuperate. Once they reached the merchant ship's side, how could they possibly obstruct the Spanish Paragon fleet soldiers who were like wolves and tigers? Just looking at their orderly formation, their hands pressing on their swords, their silent and orderly appearance, it was a stark contrast to the panicking pirates on the deck!
At this moment, the minds of the remaining pirates on the ship were completely blank, their only thought was' Captain! Hurry and return! '
But to Ammand, he was currently facing the greatest crisis of his life as a pirate!
When he led the pirates to charge into the ship's hold, he proceeded to clear out the enemies one by one. Ammand was extremely meticulous, because when his father seized the ship, he missed out on a crew member. After midnight, when the pirates were drunk, this crew member quietly crawled out and ignited the gunpowder storage on the ship! In the end, his father's 20 years of hard work was completely destroyed. That year, if not for Ammand not being out at sea, he would not have escaped death.
But the price to pay for such a meticulous search was definitely low efficiency. When Ammand discovered that the resistance from the front was unexpectedly weak, large amounts of gold coins were scattered on the ground. These pirates were after all used to being free and undisciplined, although they fought bravely, their discipline was a complete mess. Their personal qualities were also relatively inferior. Adding on to the fact that they had the upper hand, they immediately rushed forward to plunder, some even insulted each other due to the unequal distribution of the loot. If not for Ammand's extremely high prestige, perhaps they would have privately pulled out their blades and started fighting.
The greedy and chaotic pirates swiftly followed the trail of gold coins, quickly arriving at a spacious area similar to a dining hall. One-eyed Cuarón took the lead in battle, but didn't allow others to be left behind when plundering. With a glance, he saw a bag of Aztec gold (Spanish currency) at the left side of the passage, his eyes immediately lit up as he pounced forward. But at this moment, Ammand's face suddenly sank, because his nose smelled an indescribable rotting stench assaulting him!
"Kacha!" A loud sound resounded, as wood splashed everywhere! A pitch-black gigantic two handed axe cleaved through the wooden wall of the ship! This axe was exceedingly broad, pitch-black and at least the size of a round table. If one were to carefully calculate its weight, it would be at least 200 kg! Cuarón's widened eyes were instantly filled with blood veins, as he raised the sailor's axe in his right hand to block. The sailor's axe was immediately sent flying, as the gigantic axe swept him 5-6 metres away. He rolled a few times on the ground, before crashing into a pillar and bouncing back. A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out from his mouth! From the looks of it, at least a few of his bones were broken!
