Boom! Boom! Boom!
Søren's second round of grapeshot bullets, grapeshot bullets, and chain bullets!
Countless bullets were smashed out like a rainstorm.
This time, the Rock Demon Fleet was even closer, only a hundred meters away.
The hit rate at this distance was astonishingly high!
Even though the Rock Demon Fleet fought separately and pounced like a pack of wolves.
But after the storm-like bombardment of Søren's fleet, the Rock Demon Fleet still stopped abruptly.
Then, the hellish scene appeared once again.
This time, it was even more obvious, as if the grass had been smashed by a hailstorm, instantly falling into disorder.
Countless warships had their masts broken and sails shattered.
Countless pirates were instantly shot into sieves, riddled with holes, and instantly killed.
The entire surface of the sea was once again filled with a bloody mist.
At this time, there were already four or five huge steel shields in front of the Rock Demon.
When the rainstorm-like grapeshot bullets sprayed over again, the Rock Demon's face twitched violently.
He knew that Søren's bombardment this time took at least tens of thousands of lives.
The Rock Demon's heart was bleeding. He felt that his peerless martial arts had disappeared, and his entire body became stiff and weak, as if he didn't even have the strength to raise his head.
Even, a thought surged in his mind: Isn't Søren afraid of heaven's wrath?
This was really a ridiculous thing. The Rock Demon had killed countless people, and the Rock Bandits lived by plundering, burning, killing, and robbing.
At this time, he actually despised Søren for killing too much, and wondered if he would be punished by heaven.
Although the Rock Demon killed people, although the Rock Bandits also killed people, it was impressive to kill a few hundred people on a trip to the sea.
But Søren actually killed thousands of people with a single bombardment.
The Rock Demon couldn't help but recall how many people Søren had killed.
From taking back Tianshui City, to the two annihilation battles, to today's sea battle.
The number of people who died in Søren's hands was already more than 200,000. Is he really not afraid of heaven's wrath?
But at this time, no matter how many casualties there were, the Rock Demon Fleet could only grit their teeth and charge forward desperately.
Moreover, there was still a quarter of an hour before Søren's next round of bombardment.
The Rock Demon roared, "Charge, charge, kill Søren!"
Then, the horn to charge sounded tragically.
The surviving pirates of the Rock Demon Fleet woke up a little. Looking at the countless corpses around them and the deck dyed red with blood, their scalps went numb.
Hearing the signal to charge, countless rock bandits mustered their courage and roared, "Charge! We'll win if we stick close to them!"
At this time, the Rock Demon Fleet was getting closer and closer to Søren's fleet. The faces of both sides were already clearly visible. All of them were ferocious, as if they were mortal enemies.
At this moment, Søren issued a new order!
"Fleet, retreat to the south, maintain your distance, and continue to fire."
Immediately, the five griffin riders in the sky waved their flags.
Søren's two hundred battleships began to retreat southwards, and their formation was not chaotic at all.
Seeing this scene, the Rock Demon was about to explode!
F * ck you, Søren! I paid the price of tens of thousands of people and finally got close to you, but you're retreating and keeping your distance.
If it was before, Søren wouldn't have had time to retreat even if he wanted to because the Rock Demon Fleet was small, fast, and extremely agile.
But after two rounds of bombardment, almost every ship of the Rock Demon Fleet was damaged. Every sail was damaged and leaking, and every ship had dead people. They couldn't move fast at all.
Therefore, even though the distance of a hundred meters was very short, when Søren began to retreat at full speed, the Rock Demon Fleet deeply experienced what it meant to be so close, yet so far.
Søren's fleet kept retreating, gradually leaving the Rock Demon Fleet and maintaining a certain distance.
After a quarter of an hour, all the cannons were loaded.
But because the fleet had moved, the cannoneers had to aim again. Because it was a cannonball, it would hit a large area, and the requirement for accuracy was much lower.
When the rock bandits and pirates saw the black muzzles again, they only felt frightened and their limbs went cold.
Then …
"Boom, boom, boom …"
Another round of cannonball critical hits!
This time, 80% of the cannonball and 20% of the grapeshot.
Because Søren felt that there was no need to destroy the masts and sails of the Rock Demon Fleet. The next goal was to kill as many people as possible and destroy as few ships as possible because these ships would soon belong to the Suo Clan's fleet.
"Hua, hua, hua …"
Countless cannonball bullets once again smashed over like a storm.
Another bloody mist filled the sky.
Countless corpses fell to the ground. Countless rock bandits and rock bandits died!
…
In the next moment, Søren began to replicate this despicable and shameless tactic.
Taking advantage of the Rock Demon Fleet's heavy damage and slow speed, he always kept a certain distance from the Rock Demon Fleet, and never let his ship be bitten.
Then, from two to three hundred meters away, he shot cannonballs wildly!
Round after round of cannonball critical hits mercilessly took away a large number of lives!
The Rock Demon Fleet was still chasing and biting crazily.
The two fleets always maintained a distance of a few hundred meters.
"Boom, boom, boom …"
Søren's hundreds of cannons roared again and again.
The rainstorm-like cannonball sprayed out again and again!
This kind of ruthless and terrifying battle lasted for more than two hours!
Then …
An incomparably desolate and terrifying scene appeared.
In the nearest Rock Demon Fleet, the decks of some warships were already empty.
It couldn't be said to be empty, but there were no standing pirates. All of them fell in pools of blood and turned into corpses.
And all the warships were riddled with holes. The warship at the front, even the cabins on the deck were completely transparent, and hundreds of holes had been pierced through them.
From beginning to end, more than a dozen rounds of cannonball shelling!
Millions of cannonballs sprayed out. Even if most of them hit the sea, there were still a small half, more than a million, that hit the hundreds of warships of the Rock Demons.
Finally, these brave and fearless rock bandits finally collapsed completely.
They were not afraid of death, and even actively pursued death!
However, their death was for victory, for plundering, not for meaningless death!
They could not see any hope in the battle in front of them.
They desperately rushed up, but could never get close to Søren's fleet.
Many rock bandits even bravely jumped into the sea and swam up to Søren's warships.
However, this was even more of a tragedy. Before they could climb up to Søren's warships, they had already become ghosts under the arrows.
Søren's fleet was always not far in front of them, as if they could reach out and touch it, but always so far away.
And every round of cannonball attack from Søren's fleet would take away countless lives!
The deck of every ship was drenched in blood and littered with corpses.
They did not surrender, and they were still not afraid of death. However, they were not willing to fight anymore. They were not willing to make a fearless struggle anymore.
This kind of collapse seemed to be contagious. The people on the rock pirate fleets knelt on the deck in pain and gave up resisting.
Søren rode a Griffin and hovered above the rock pirate fleet.
Then, he saw wave after wave of rock bandits kneeling, as if a strong wind had blown past and snapped wheat stalks.
The Rock Demon was completely defeated!
He had lost cleanly, completely!
And the most embarrassing thing was that his hundred thousand pirates did not cause any casualties to Søren!
From start to finish, only twenty or so rock pirate warships charged up to Søren's fleet and started to jump ship.
However …
Nearly half of the rock bandits on these warships had died. Only a thousand or so rock bandits actually jumped ship.
Even more tragically, half of the rock bandits chose to jump ship were Søren's three large cannon warships.
Two had two decks, and one had three. They were as tall as small mountains. Other than the cannons, they were all sealed with thick planks.
They wanted to jump ship, but they could not find a place to fight.
Many rock bandits bravely climbed onto the warships and tried to enter through the cannons. But a few sharp blades shot out from inside and dismembered them instantly.
As for the rock bandits on the other dozen warships, nearly a thousand people successfully jumped onto the Søren fleet's warships.
However, they were facing two or three times their number of enemies. After fighting bravely for half a quarter of an hour, the rock bandits who had successfully jumped off the ship were all dead.
…
Then, where was the Rock Demon now?
He had escaped! That's right, the valiant and invincible Rock Bandit King had escaped!
At this moment, he had successfully escaped dozens of miles away from the battlefield.
When Søren fired the third and fourth round of canister shells, he already knew that there was no hope!
His plan of putting himself at death's door and coming back to life had completely failed!
Because his fleet had suffered great damage and lost its speed advantage, it would never be able to stick to Søren's fleet. He could only be beaten passively, and if he continued to fight, he would only be wiped out.
Strangely, when he knew that he had been completely defeated, he no longer felt pain. His heart was no longer bleeding, only cold and numb.
Watching Søren's fleet slaughtering his people, the rock demon seemed to be watching a show, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Then, he coldly gave an order: Rock King's headquarters fleet, all escape from the battlefield!
After the Rock Demon gave the order to escape, he did not even blow the retreat horn. He only used a very private method to inform the headquarters fleet to retreat and escape.
At that time, most of the fleets were fighting separately, like a pack of wolves, desperately pouncing on Søren's fleet.
The scene was chaotic. In the end, the Rock Demon's headquarters fleet that successfully escaped the battle only had more than a hundred battleships and more than ten thousand rock bandits.
The remaining sixty thousand rock bandits were all sacrificed and abandoned, becoming cannon fodder for the escaping Rock Demon!
Not only that, the Rock Demon even changed his clothes and hid in the cabin, hiding among the rock bandits!
Therefore, when the battle came to an end, many rock bandits turned around to take another look at their king, either before they died or to gain courage from the Rock King.
In the end, they discovered that they could no longer find their Rock King. Their king had actually escaped.
They knew that they had been abandoned and betrayed by their king.
Thus, the rock bandits completely collapsed, gave up resistance, and knelt on the ground.
…
Flying in the air, Søren immediately discovered the Rock Demon's headquarters fleet's intention to escape.
However, he did not order the fleet to chase after them!
This was because his fleet was currently in normal battle order and could not be disrupted. Moreover, there were tens of thousands of rock bandits in front of him, so he could not leave the battle to chase after the escaping Rock Demon.
Making a prompt decision, Søren sent out a dozen Gryphons with gunpowder and kerosene barrels to carry out an air attack on the escaping Rock Demon's headquarters fleet.
The result was just like in a drill, the hit rate was too low.
Moreover, a dozen Gryphons were too few. They could not cause much damage to the escaping Rock Demon's headquarters fleet. They could not even stop the Rock Demon's headquarters fleet from escaping.
By the time the battle on Søren's side ended, it was already more than two hours later. At this time, the Rock Demon had already led more than a hundred battleships and escaped more than fifty miles away.
Yan Chao 'er appeared and summoned the rock bandits and pirates who had completely collapsed.
At this time, Yan Chao 'er didn't even need to appear. After these rock bandits realized that they had been abandoned, they had already lost all will to fight.
Yan Chao 'er ordered the surviving rock bandits and pirates to surrender. He lowered the sails and cut the ropes.
This way, the surviving enemy ships on the battlefield lost all power and were unable to move. They could only float and spin on the surface of the sea.
Then, Søren ordered only five thousand marines to guard the captives. The remaining twenty thousand marines continued to chase after the Rock Demon's fleet!
…
In the evening, the sun was setting!
More than a hundred battleships of the Rock Demon were fleeing crazily in front while the Søren's fleet desperately chased after them.
In the sky, there were still a dozen Gryphons continuously carrying out air attacks on the Rock Demon's fleet.
Just like this, the two fleets chased one after the other.
More than two hours later, the night fell!
The two fleets were much more careful, but one was still fleeing while the other was chasing.
Another whole night passed!
The next day, the sun rose. The sunlight shone on the surface of the sea, as if there were countless gold coins sparkling.
After a night of pursuit, the Søren's fleet and the Rock Demon's fleet were still sixty to seventy miles apart.
Most of the ships of the Rock Demon's headquarters fleet were in good condition. They were very fast when they ran at full speed. Therefore, not only did the Søren's fleet not close the distance, they were gradually getting further away.
…
At this time, three hundred miles in front of the escaping Rock Demon's fleet!
Seagull's fifty thousand main fleet was majestically heading south at full speed!
At this time, Seagull only had one thought in his mind. He hoped that Søren's defeat would be slower. He hoped that when his fleet arrived, there would still be some leftovers to eat.
The last thing he wanted to see was that by the time he arrived at the battlefield, the battle would already be over. The Rock Demon raised Søren's head high and said, "Father-in-law, how late are you? The battle is over, you can go back the way you came! "
He, Seagull, led the fifty thousand main fleet south from thousands of miles away. In the end, he returned empty-handed. He would really vomit blood in anger.
"Søren, you must fight hard. Don't lose too quickly. You must hold on and wait for me to arrive to give you a fatal blow!"
