Chapter 19: The Disparity of Strength and Weakness

Colybso turned into a storm and fluffed the sails again, increasing the speed of the entire pirate fleet once again. ,ybdu,

For this unprecedentedly large fleet approaching. At first, all the pirates panicked for a while, but soon they slowly came to their senses.

Yes, although there are many enemy ships, there are only about 200 real warships, and the others are all armed merchant ships.

Although this number was so large that it made anyone desperate, even when the British fleet and the Spanish Armada fought a decisive battle, there were not so many ships on both sides combined.

On their own, there are only fifteen ships. At most, it's one-thirtieth of the enemy's strength!

But the pirates quickly calmed down. It's not that they don't have a chance, they still have a secret weapon.

And at this time, the combined fleet was in high spirits. No one doubted that they would be crushed over with ease like a carriage that had crushed a toad to death.

Crush these damned scum, bandits, and these pirates to death!

Originally, with God's blessing, these pirates encountered a headwind, and the speed of their sailing ships slowed down.

And their entire huge fleet, which was blown by a strong wind, slowly caught up.

The distance between the two sides continued to grow, and the pirates desperately spread their sails to escape. But it still can't compare to the coalition fleet.

In particular, an armed sailing ship named the Pearl is traveling at high speed, and it is even more incomparably high. Far beyond the other ships, they are catching up.

At this time, the captain of this armed merchant ship. The telescope in his hand seemed to see a white line and hit him head-on.

"Is it a shark?" the captain was startled, but he did not see the terrifying fins sticking out of the sea.

Of course, there will not be any sharks in the world that will be so fast that everyone's eyelids are constantly beating.

It's too fast. It's just too fast. This white line is coming so fast, what is it under the surface of the sea?

The captain felt a deep sense of unease. He already regretted it a little, he was idle. Why do you have to come to this place, to join in the fun? And I don't dare to rely on the advantage of the ship type to run so fast.

He was about to deliver an order to the sailors to slow down. Wait for the other ships behind to move together.

However. It's too late. The white line was already clearly visible, and it slammed directly into the bow of his ship.

"Damn, I should have dodged!" thought the captain, but he was almost so frightened that he couldn't turn his head away, so much so that he didn't even think about dodging.

"Boom ......"

There was a slight shock to the bottom of the ship, and then the whole ship jumped to its feet, almost four or five meters above the surface of the sea, and then turned into a ball of fire. The volley disintegrated.

"Pearl?"

From afar, Master Wen also happened to see such a scene. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the face of this sudden occurrence, the huge pursuit fleet suddenly took a surprise from the excitement of beating the water dogs, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on the head.

How did the ship in front of it turn into a fireball? It was still out of range of the artillery.

And, what's the joke, when the ship is moving at such high speed, the guns want to hit? It's as difficult as a bullet to hit a mosquito.

Even if it is a single shot, this kind of armed merchant ship is not so fragile, and it will be shattered with a single shot. Unless the gunpowder above explodes.

Yes, yes, definitely. The explosion of this armed merchant ship had nothing to do with the damn pirates.

It must have been those idiot businessmen who did not steer the ship well and detonated the ship.

As for how stupid it must be to detonate the gunpowder on the ship, this kind of thing is subconsciously ignored by them.

Too often, people subconsciously make excuses, they just don't want to believe it. Unless they can use a series of blows to shatter their psychological defenses little by little.

The gun shot the first bird, and two more torpedoes were released, and the propellers stirred up a huge foam behind them, forming a white line with a very obvious wake.

One of them, suddenly, in one direction, swerved in the direction of no one in the distance, until the force of the push was exhausted, and it could only sink into the icy water.

Many of the pirates who witnessed this scene sighed. However, they were not surprised, and during the sneak attack on Santo Domingo, they discovered this strange and useful weapon, which in many cases could easily go wrong.

Even in the harbor of Santo Domingo, which was full of ships, there were many torpedoes that were out of control, either dud, or suddenly turned, and once even turned around and shot at the Queen Anne's Revenge, which was almost terrifying to the face of Blackbeard.

They didn't know, but Master Wen couldn't know it in his heart. The error rate of such a thing as a torpedo is already high, not to mention that he still bought a batch of processed products from the Great Heavenly Master. These things have been left for at least twenty or thirty years......

However, although one torpedo had missed, the other was rushing towards another ship that was approaching.

When the ship spotted the strange white mark, it immediately became alert and wanted to turn, desperately trying to avoid the white mark. They didn't know what it was, but they agreed that it wasn't anything good!

However, the flexibility of these sailing ships was naturally too poor, and before their ships could completely avoid them, they had already bitten into their sterns.

The warhead, filled with explosives, even in the stern, immediately sent the ship into the sky.

All of a sudden, no one will think it's a fluke. The speed of the entire pursuing fleet slowed down invariably, though their faith still blessed them, and the wind behind them puffed up the sails.

But they were all timid, and they all secretly lowered the sails to reduce their speed. Anyway, no one is willing to chase after him and send him to death. Of course, they won't let these damn pirate fleets go lightly.

Seeing such a scene, a faint smile appeared on the face of the Great Celestial Master Wen, this time, he could reach Summers Summers Island before they caught up.

As soon as he chased and fled, the sky darkened. Originally, according to the practice of naval warfare in this era, they had already chased down the fleet of the Wenda Heavenly Master.

But this time it was different, with God's guidance, they would never lose their way. Wherever these pirates fled, they would catch up, and then an endless stream of shells carrying anger awaited them.

"We're going to Summers?" said Duke Beckent was pleased with the daytime, but apprehensive about the fleet's high speed in the night.

After he thought that they were still out of sight of the pursuing fleet, it meant that they were safe.

In the vast sea, the difference is a millimeter, and the error is thousands of miles. Very often, the two fleets pass by, just out of sight.

In fact, if you want to find an opponent at sea, all you need is luck.

But Master Wen didn't think so, and he said to Duke Bekent: "Our goal is Summers Island, don't forget it. As long as the gold is on our ship, we are like a beacon in the dark night, attracting everyone. Sue them, come, we'll be here......"

Duke Bekent almost blurted out and begged Master Wen to throw the gold into the sea. But he soon realized that he was glad he wasn't so mad.

"That's right, where do you know?" said Master Wen Da with a smile. I appreciate the fact that the Duke of Bekent persuaded the Spanish captives to cooperate during the day.

"It's a British colony, and it's pretty much a few of their supply stopovers. Duke Bekent said.

Although he is not a very outstanding person, he is not so incompetent. If Wen Da Heavenly Master had used normal means, he would not have been able to defeat him so easily.

He still has a good understanding of the situation in the entire Fuso continent and the various spheres of influence.

"There's so little oil and water there!" sighed Duke Becent, "and that place is full of weirdness. When Columbus sailed here, it was almost a hundred years ago.

On his fourth voyage, Columbus passed through Summers Island. Christopher Columbus stood on the bow of the ship, but the sky was clear and the sea was calm.

Suddenly, the wind rose suddenly, the sky was dark, and huge waves tens of meters high rushed towards the fleet like a wall. The sailors made a concerted effort to try to turn the course, but all the navigation instruments on board failed, and the pointer on the magnetic compass pointed not in the direction of due north, but in a northwesterly direction, which deviated by 6 degrees.

The ship is out of control, and it is pushed by the wind and waves. Thankfully, God blessed us at that time. Columbus was fortunate that after a few days and nights of turbulence, the ship did not sink.

And what made him strange was that the end of this storm that fell from the sky came to an abrupt end, and the wind and waves ended when they said they were over, and the wind and waves were calm immediately. ”

Wen Da Celestial Master nodded, indicating that he knew that this was probably the first mysterious thing that happened after the mysterious place was known, right?

"That place, even the power of God, can't be entered casually!" Wen Da Celestial Master smiled lightly: "If the coalition fleet really pursues it, then they must be prepared for the annihilation of the entire army!"

Duke Bekent smiled bitterly: "I hope so!"

After slowly calming down, Duke Beckent felt that he was really dizzy. How could they have thought that these dozen pirate ships could completely wipe out a regular army dozens of times their size......?
