The corpses that were originally scattered and floating in the nearby seawater were fished out and burned together with the ships.
The work of cleaning up the battlefield has ended.
After this battle, the navy was completely destroyed, and the Justice Pirates were left with only one black iron magic ship and two bronze-level magic ships.
Naval battles are very cruel.
The defeated side in a land battle can still step on the ground and flee in all directions.
In the ocean, ships are the last fortress and home. If they are lost, even if they escape the battlefield, they will still have to face being swallowed by the boundless sea water.
The fishman boy stood at the stern of the boat, watching the scene of the burnt boat while listening to Zidi's report.
Zidi is still wearing a mask and a black robe.
Ever since she woke up, she has taken over many of Cang Xu’s tasks, such as making financial statistics and calculating losses and gains.
The pirates were working on the deck. Some were banging on the mast, some were sewing the cut sails, some were climbing on the transom and setting up new sailing ropes. Others were cleaning the deck and using long ropes.
The brushes and mops with handles are combined with the foam created by the chemicals, and finally washed with buckets of sea water until they are clean.
Cleaning the deck may seem like a small matter, but it is actually very important.
The sea is not always calm. Once bumped by waves, sailors can easily slip on the greasy deck. The consequences of slipping may range from falling to death, to falling into the seawater and drowning.
After a fierce battle, the deck was in a bad state. There was blood almost everywhere, along with broken limbs and body fat, causing body fat to be scattered everywhere.
The pirates worked diligently.
Some of them were still wearing bandages.
This is a minor injury and still requires work.
Severely injured persons were treated in the cabin and then rested.
Without clergy accompanying them, the pirates could only rely on potions and some specific magic scrolls to treat their injuries.
This kind of magic scroll is not only rare in type, but also in small quantity.
What is truly good at healing and purification has always been the power of divine magic.
Despite the hard work, especially after a big battle, and dragging their exhausted bodies to work, the morale of the pirates was high.
“We defeated the navy!”
“Oh my god, I still can’t believe it.”
“Rear Admiral Qiao was a fierce man, but he was still beaten to death by our captain.”
“According to reliable information, our captain had a fair fight and chopped off Joe’s head directly.”
“Silver beats gold, it’s so powerful!”
The pirates were talking in low voices, and from time to time they secretly looked at the fishman boy and Zidi at the stern of the boat.
They all looked at the fish-man boy with reverence and trust.
Looking at Zidi, most of them were in awe, and of course there was a small part of curiosity.
Zidi’s identity is a secret to most pirates. Only a limited number of survivors on the Mysterious Island are privately happy for Zidi’s awakening.
Zidi performed very well in the battle just now.
Her spells can be cast instantly, which is the peak of Black Iron's strength. There is also a gargoyle beside her. This silver-level alchemy puppet once entangled two silver fighters in the navy and is very reliable.
Boom!
At this moment, the gathered ships suddenly exploded in flames.
The rough hull frame that was left was blown to pieces in the explosion.
The flames rose sharply, and then splashed out many fireballs, which fell to the sea, still burning.
Zidi mixed a medicine into it to maintain the burning state to a great extent until each object is completely burned, or close to a completely burned state.
The pirates were frightened for a moment, and then laughed.
The young man and Zidi watched calmly, neither surprised.
Explosion is also one of the steps to clean up the battlefield.
Under normal circumstances, any enemy ship that can be towed away will be towed away - it can be sold for a lot of money. If it cannot be towed away, in order to prevent the enemy from exploiting it, it will be scuttled.
It is unusual for the Justice Pirates to put such a huge effort into something that was burned down and exploded at the same time.
But there is no other way.
They were facing the Imperial Navy and Imperial spies. They had to do this in order to reduce the number of clues and intelligence left behind as much as possible.
After confirming the results of the explosion, the Justice Pirates began to speed up and officially left the battlefield.
Half an hour later.
A large naval fleet speeding across the sea.
As the flagship, the gold-class magic ship Twin Swords sailed at the forefront. In order to cooperate with the large force, it suppressed its own speed.
Wei Sheng, who was the captain of the Twin Swords, Earl of the Empire, and Vice Admiral of the Navy, frowned: "I'm beginning to regret taking them with me now."
The Twin Swords can easily exceed a speed of 20 knots.
Wei Sheng couldn't wait to catch up with the Justice Pirates and launch an encirclement and suppression campaign.
"Report! It's about the latest battle situation about the beheading of Major General Qiao." A navy man ran over, carrying a sealed scroll.
“Finally the report is here.” Wei Sheng quickly took the scroll.
Before, he issued an order to let Qiao Qiao and Tan Mo move together to hunt down the Justice Pirates. Then, he personally dispatched and led a large number of naval forces from the Grand Military Port, almost all of them dispatched.
Shortly after sailing at sea, he received follow-up military information.
In Tanmo, the Lord of Dutdao City was ambushed and was unable to attack. However, the Zaoqiao fleet successfully dispatched and launched a pursuit.
"How is the battle going?" Wei Sheng quickly scanned the contents of the scroll. His expression changed, and his eyes became extremely sharp in an instant.
“Failed?”
“The Zaqiao fleet was completely destroyed?”
“Wait a minute, maybe it’s not enough. After all, most of the ships in the fleet are still resting in Sharp Knife Port.”
“No, Zaiqiao died in battle, and all the elites of the fleet were destroyed. What’s the use of leaving some warships behind? This fleet has actually been destroyed!”
Wei Sheng gritted his teeth: "Damn the Justice Pirates!"
He carefully read the contents of the scroll again and hurried back to the captain's cabin.
When he returned to the captain's cabin, he had a complete grasp of the information inside and knew it by heart.
He came to the tactical table.
There is an alchemy chart on the table, with flowing curves simulating sea water. On the sea, in addition to the stationary islands, a large number of fleets are sailing.
Wei Sheng focused his attention on the corner of the map, where was the fleet of the Justice Pirates.
“The performance of the black iron and bronze magic ships in the Justice Pirates is low, so there is nothing to worry about. The most threatening thing is the gold-class magic ship sailing on the bottom of the sea.”
“A large part of the reason why Joe was killed in battle was on this ship.”
Zhao Qiao was hacked to death by the fish-man boy from the front, but the situation of this battle had already been detected by the navy warship. Therefore, the relevant information was in the scroll in Wei Sheng's hand.
“The fish-man god’s son’s dragon suit!”
“God-level bloodline, legendary-level fighting skills, and holy-level fighting skills.”
“Underwater warfare has great geographical advantages.”
“The tactics are very clear. Priority is given to destroying Qiao Qiao’s back armor and giving full play to the speed advantage.”
“The gold mana ship was assisting, and there were two gold-level cannons, and two gold-level cannonballs were used. Regardless of mana and other expenses, these two cannonballs alone cost about 5,000 gold coins!”
“Looking back at the Qiao fleet...”
“The fleet itself is in extremely poor condition. Most of the warships have stayed in the port, and only a few warships have been pursued.”
“The elite of the fleet itself have been retained, but at the silver level, the Justice Pirates are not weak either.”
“After the death of Zaiqiao Zhan, the fish-man god son did not have the same level of fighting power and easily dominated the battlefield.”
“The biggest failure in this naval battle was Zai Qiao!”
Wei Sheng clenched his fists.
“Is it because of his reputation as a fierce general that his temperament was taken advantage of by the Justice Pirates?”
“In itself, Qiao Qiao also has the idea of entrusting himself. After all, the Justice Pirates do not have a gold-level powerhouse on the surface.”
“I am partly responsible for this. After all, I did not tell Joe the whole truth.”
“It’s a pity that we only found out so much about the situation...”
Wei Sheng shook his head slightly and casually threw the information scroll in his hand on the table.
In his analysis: In a normal battle, Zhan Qiao was able to fight with the Fish-Man God Son and delay time. However, his character was calculated and he was dragged to fight in the sea. The Fish-Man God Son seized the opportunity and completely suppressed him.
As a result, he was unable to use fighting skills to break the situation.
“The value of death is not high.”
From Wei Sheng's point of view, naval sacrifice is inevitable, and dying on the battlefield is the honor of a soldier. Although Qiao Qiao died, the test results yielded very little information, which made Wei Sheng very dissatisfied.
“But, it doesn’t matter.”
“According to my schedule, the fleet that must pass has arrived nearby.”
“The Justice Pirates can’t escape.”
“The maximum speed of an ordinary black iron magic ship is only about 13.”
“Gold-level magic ships have different speeds, but they can’t exceed 30 knots.”
“Admiral Bitong’s Striker cannot be described simply by its speed.”
“Facing a legendary level powerhouse, the Fish-Man Son of God simply cannot stand on the stage.”
“This time, we will definitely be able to find out the true details of Meilan God!”
