Wang Tiandi seemed to have understood Irin's words.
Wang Tiandi barked non-stop, suddenly becoming excited.
In the dark night, the two shiny dog eyes were like two green light bulbs on the Queen.
"Beat up the navy?"
Among the pirates, someone suddenly whispered.
"Are we going to beat up the navy?"
"Are we not going to run?"
"We are pirates!"
"But the Captain is right. Isn't it right and proper for pirates to beat up the navy? Oh? Wait, what is this' right and proper 'thing? Oh, damn it, is this drinkable? "
"… …"
Ruth's eyes widened.
Finally, she reacted. Irin was not joking.
That's right!
This logic was clear and there was nothing wrong with it.
As pirates, they should go beat up the navy!
Irin nodded his head in affirmation.
"What's the magnification of your binoculars?"
Ruth: "???"
Irin did not waste any time and directly stuffed his military-grade binoculars into Ruth's hands.
Ruth raised the binoculars to take a look. Irin's binoculars were much more high-definition than her cheap binoculars. Furthermore, it was not censored. With just a glance, Ruth was able to determine the movements of the distant warship.
The Queen … … was being targeted!
The navy warship was chasing after them at full speed!
Ruth's expression turned solemn. Within her mind, she quickly calculated the ocean currents, wind direction, and the tonnage of the enemy warship … … various data. Through the [Navigation] skill, Ruth's calculations gradually converged into a terrifying answer.
Even if they turned around now, they would be caught up sooner or later!
Unless … … the Queen could receive the protection of the sea!
But was that possible?
There were two women on the Queen.
It was very possible that the distant warship was the 'misfortune' brought about by the two women.
Thinking of this, Ruth no longer hesitated. Like a tough woman in the wind, she put down the binoculars and decisively gave out orders.
"Listen to the Captain's orders! The Queen, prepare to meet the enemy! "
"Oh –"
All the pirates instantly cheered.
The blood of pirates flowed with the element of adventure. Although the pirates were greedy for life and afraid of death, at this moment, they had inexplicably developed confidence in this ship and their Captain.
Perhaps it was because of what the Irin had done on Tortuga Island, or perhaps it was because of the mysterious' dark sorcery 'he had displayed.
If such a mysterious person was standing in front of the pirates, they would definitely turn tail and run without hesitation.
But now, the skeleton gentleman who had the mysterious power of black witchcraft was the captain of this ship!
And that dog that killed people with one slap!
All of this was the source of the pirates' confidence.
In that instant, all the pirates on the Queen acted as if they had been injected with chicken blood, nimbly moving under Ruth's command.
In the dark night.
On the other side of the Queen.
It was a heavy warship that had been reinforced with armor.
The Braveheart.
It was said that the origin of this ship's name was to commemorate the 'Intrepid' that had been sunk by those damned pirates many years ago.
It was known as the sister of the Intrepid.
On the Braveheart, a man in luxurious clothes and a military officer's wig was holding a telescope and staring silently at the sailboat with the skull flag flying in the dark night.
"Hehe … they really turned around? Those damned pirates really don't dare to face us head on. "
"Reporting to Vice Admiral Bopp! That pirate ship has turned around! Should we continue the pursuit? "
Vice Admiral Bopp: "Hmph! Full speed ahead! As long as it's a pirate, we won't let them go! "
The adjutant standing beside Vice Admiral Bopp hesitated for a moment. "Sir Vice Admiral, do you believe that the governor's fiancée is on that ship?"
"Hehe, how is that possible?" Vice Admiral Bopp shook his head. "Half a month ago, that idiot Noland's fleet met with a shipwreck and was completely wiped out. Noland drifted to a deserted island. If not for a passing merchant ship, Noland would have died long ago. Even Noland, who had undergone rigorous training, could barely survive that shipwreck … "
"Do you believe that the governor's fiancée can do better than Noland? Don't forget … she's a woman. Hehe, women have never been favored by the sea. "
The adjutant couldn't help but ask, "Vice Admiral Bopp, do you believe in those illusory 'curses'?"
Bopp sneered. "How can I believe it? Those are all old legends! As a member of the Royal Navy, I must believe in science. "
"Of course —" Vice Admiral Bopp's tone changed. "If I were Noland, for safety's sake, after picking up the governor's fiancée on the ship, I would definitely sail along the coastal waters. After arriving at the Royal Port, I would put down the woman and then send Lady Elizabeth back to the governor's side through land transportation."
The adjutant smiled and said, "As expected of Vice Admiral Bopp, you are indeed steady in your actions."
"Wait."
Vice Admiral Bopp suddenly frowned.
In the telescope.
It was a pirate ship with a strange skull flag, and a white object was erected at the stern of the ship.
It was very bright in the night.
Looking more carefully, it was actually a pair of dirty white underwear.
Bopp was speechless when he saw this scene.
The adjutant saw Vice Admiral Bopp's strange expression and raised his telescope.
A few seconds later, the adjutant's expression was the same as Vice Admiral Bopp's.
"Ah? Those damned pirates are raising a white … flag? Do they want to surrender? "
Vice Admiral Bopp was silent for a moment and suddenly laughed.
"My stupid adjutant, do you still remember what the first lesson we learned in the Naval Academy was?"
The adjutant nodded.
Because the title page of every Naval Academy teaching material was neatly printed with three sentences —
[Pirates must die!]
[Pirates never speak the truth!]
[Be careful of every pirate's rope!]
These three sentences of Marine military training, every qualified Marine has recited them over and over again, memorizing them in their heart.
Vice Admiral Bopp: "Remember, we are facing despicable, hateful, and damned pirates. They will rob ships, rob banks, destroy execution grounds, and pretend to be judges. They will do all kinds of evil … They surrender? It must be a conspiracy! "
"This subordinate understands!"
"Everyone! Load the cannonballs! Full speed ahead! Once the pirates enter the range of shooting, listen to my orders and be ready to fire at any time! "
A series of orders were issued.
Bopp twisted the telescope in his hand.
Suddenly.
In his largest field of vision, he saw an elegant and mysterious black figure.
That was... a tuxedo???
“？”
Bopp couldn't help but type a big question mark.
Across the sea, on the other side.
The Queen.
Irin put down the telescope.
As the two ships approached one after the other, Irin at that moment actually looked at a man holding a telescope on the enemy ship.
"The enemy's commander?"
Irin smiled.
Ruth looked nervous.
She also looked through the telescope and roughly guessed the cannon equipment on the enemy's warship.
It seemed to be an intermediate warship, almost the same tonnage as the Queen.
But obviously, from the other side's hull that was obviously reinforced with steel plates, if the two sides opened fire, the Queen would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.
Bare feet must be afraid of wearing shoes. After all, if they stepped on each other, bare feet would certainly be more painful. There was no doubt.
— — And the other side seemed to be wearing iron boots.
In the cold wind.
Cha Cha covered his cold legs and shivered.
"Dear great captain, can the loyal Charlie wear these trousers?"
Ruth was speechless at Irin's clever act of pretending to surrender: "Do you really think they will believe it?"
"They don't."
Irin came to a conclusion.
"Then why are you still trying?"
"I'm just trying, I won't get pregnant. But from the looks of it, the navy's impression of pirates is very bad... Oh right, Charlie, you can put on your pants and get out. "
Wang Tiandi squatted at the bow of the ship, fluttering in the wind.
The two ships were getting closer and closer.
Ruth's expression became more and more nervous.
The cannonballs had been loaded.
On the Brave ship, the iron plate on the bow of the ship made the sound of chains moving. Two exquisite bow cannons were pushed out from the hull. The black barrels pointed directly at Irin and Ruth's direction.
"Now!"
Ruth suddenly shouted. Because of her nervousness, her voice cracked a little, but she didn't have time to care.
"Drop the anchor!"
"Drop all the sails!"
"Full rudder to the right! Sharp turn — — "
This kind of backward ship, when moving and turning, driving a ship was different from driving a car. A car could race at will, turn at will, and brake at will. However, in order to control a medium sized ship, one had to take into account the direction of the wind, the current, and every part of the ship's structure.
Fortunately, Yi Lin had disregarded the costs and directly recruited nearly 200 personnel from the Queen of Tortuga. Thus, the Queen of Tortuga wasn't lacking in manpower at the present moment.
Sssss — —
On the Brave ship!
Before the Queen's ship made a sharp turn, Pope waved his hand and issued an order.
"Bow cannons, fire! Exterminate these damned pirates! "
Rumble — —
The two bow cannons of the Brave ship spat out dazzling tongues of flame in the dark night. The cannonballs rumbled out.
However, no one could have imagined that half a minute before the cannonballs were fired, the Queen's ship within range suddenly made a 180 degree turn. In the blink of an eye, it had circled to the side of the Brave ship!
The distance between the two ships was so close that Bopp could even smell the smell of rum coming from the dirty pirate ship as the sea breeze brushed past his face.
The sudden sharp turn of the Queen's ship caused the battle-hardened Admiral Pope to stare blankly for a few seconds. Then, he sneered disdainfully. "Another old-fashioned navigation technique? Foolish pirates. Don't you know that ever since the Intrepid was destroyed by this move, this sort of sharp turn tactic has long been recorded in textbooks? "
Pondering till here, Pope continued to issue orders unhurriedly. "Damned pirates to our right! Prepare the right bow cannons and load all cannonballs! Await my orders! "
On the Queen's ship.
Ruth bit her lower lip.
Her tactic of making a sharp turn was indeed an old-fashioned tactic. It was passed down by word of mouth among the pirates, and was said to be the wisdom left behind by a certain legendary pirate.
However, the enemy didn't seem to be flustered by such an unforeseen event. All the cannons on the right side of the Brave were opened. Dozens of cannons were pushed out, and separated from the Queen's ship by a small stretch of the ocean.
If this continued — —
Perhaps, the one to be sunk would be the Queen's ship!
At this moment.
None of the pirates on the Queen's ship noticed that Irin had raised his binoculars.
His line of sight was locked onto the tallest and most arrogant figure on the enemy ship.
"You're probably the commander … …"
Irin muttered softly, coughed twice, and spoke loudly to the air across the ocean.
"From now on, let the world feel pain!"
