"Hehe, it seems that I have been a good person for so long that no one remembers what I started out as."
A self-deprecating smile appeared on Derek's face, but his eyes suddenly turned ferocious.
"How can I be afraid of you in a side-to-side battle?"
As a once famous pirate, how could he not know about boarding battles?
When they go out to forage, they rarely use artillery, because if they sink the other party's ship, they will not be able to get the belongings on the ship.
Under such circumstances, Drake's melee combat ability will naturally not be much weaker.
The reason why he avoided war was because it was his duty as a British naval commander and he could no longer act as he pleased as before.
Seeing the "Golden Deer" take the initiative to greet Luca, Wang Hao and Valerie began to become nervous.
In fact, Valerie was the only one who was nervous, but she squeezed her hand subconsciously, and Wang Hao had to make an exaggerated expression.
The British navy was about to win.
It was precisely because he saw this ending that Wang Hao couldn't get nervous anymore.
Lucca was indeed brave and almost unstoppable in hand-to-hand combat, but his subordinates were severely cannibalized.
When Drake and Luca engage in the final showdown, the outcome has already been determined.
The British side has completed its layout, and even if Luca kills Drake, it will be useless.
From the beginning, Drake used himself as bait, drawing his opponents into the mix step by step.
The French fleet was divided and surrounded, and its destruction was only a matter of time.
Luca also discovered the problem at this time, and he roared angrily. He immediately rushed towards Drake.
A wonderful boarding battle began, and what excited many British players was that Drake's hand-to-hand combat ability seemed to be no worse than Luca's. The two fought with an astonishing momentum. No one else could get close.
But generally speaking, Luca's side has the greater advantage. The sailors on the "Golden Deer" have been doing their jobs for too long, and it is inevitable that they will become a little rusty in business.
On the British side, although the battle on the flagship was somewhat unfavorable, it was still able to hold up, while other battlefields were victorious.
French warships were sent to the bottom of the sea one after another. Every time they saw this scene, the British watching would let out a heartfelt cheer.
Bang!
A sharp and piercing sound of metal collision came from the deck of the "Golden Deer". Following the opponent's force, Luca jumped back twice in succession, temporarily out of the battle.
He glanced sideways at the battle situation around him, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
"See you in the decisive battle."
After saying these words, Luca began to order a retreat.
Although he is not afraid of death, he will not surrender his life to this place without value.
And if a legendary captain wants to escape, ordinary people really can't catch him.
Therefore, Drake only chased tentatively for a while, then gave up, and people began to clean up the battlefield.
The players sitting in front of the screen watching the battle quickly received system prompts that the British side had won.
At this point, the second phase of the historical battle has been successfully concluded.
After experiencing an initial defeat, the British players made a comeback in the second game.
Players from both the UK and France had mixed reactions to this news.
The French players will definitely not give up easily, because in the second stage, due to the restrictions of the rules, they cannot fully mobilize the players' strength, making their numerical advantage unable to be used. But the final decisive battle is different.
It was a battle without any limits.
French players expressed their absolute confidence that they can win this final battle.
Players from the British camp held the opposite opinion, and during the intermission period, players from both sides started a war of words on the forum.
After exiting the game, Wang Hao also logged into the forum.
What he is most concerned about is the battle in East Asia.
"The Japanese navy has been winning consecutive battles. Who can stop it?"
Wang Hao sighed when he saw the blood-red news characters at the top of the China Forum.
Some things seem to be truly unchangeable. This news article describes in detail the course of the Japanese-North Korea naval battle.
Before the battle began, South Korean Bangzi repeatedly preached on the forum that this naval battle would be victorious. Even without China's support, they could defeat the invading Japanese navy as they had done in history.
In fact, there are indeed many people who are optimistic about North Korea, especially South Korea's economic development in the past two years, and the players' equipment is generally good. This is why they believe that they will win this battle.
But when the result of the battle spread, it broke the eyes of countless people.
In the first two stages, North Korea not only lost, but fell behind by a huge margin. The performance of South Korean players can only be described as miserable.
The equipment is about the same, the number of people is two to three times that of the opponent, and they still lose under such circumstances. It really makes people don't know what to say.
After this battle, the entire Korean media collectively lost their voice, and most of them said indifferent words.
If there is something that stands out about the North Korean camp, it is a group of players from China. Although they have never saved the war, they have severely damaged Japanese player fleets on many battlefields.
In addition, the tenacity of North Korean players has exceeded people's expectations before the war. The equipment of these players is not good, and can even be said to be quite poor. Even an ordinary second-tier warship seems to be a treasure. Many people
They even drive newbie boats.
But just these people, using equipment that was considered rubbish in the eyes of Korean players, were able to block the attack of a large fleet of Japanese players for nearly an hour.
As for the performance of Korean players... let’s not mention it.
North Korea's defeat seems to be a foregone conclusion, and many places in Japan have even begun to celebrate in advance.
Wang Hao shook his head, and after contacting Mr. Jie and the others back home, he set his sights on the Mediterranean Sea.
This place gave him the feeling that it was a mess, so he just glanced at it twice and then returned to the British forum.
Thanks to the impressive performance of large guilds such as the Knights of the Round Table and the Royal Naval Association in the second phase of the campaign, their popularity has surged significantly.
The situation of the St. England Guild was not bad either. It used 2,000 ships to defeat ten times the enemy, and many people also praised it.
The other is the player standings of the British camp, which many players are particularly interested in.
Wang Hao's current points score ranks third in the British camp, but among all British players participating in the war, he ranks first.
For many British players who are arrogant at heart, in this battle involving British naval history, as the victorious country in history, the first honor was actually robbed by foreigners, which really made them feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, many people on the forum called for Wang Hao to completely destroy the two people in front of him.
Wang Hao could only respond with a wry smile.
Since in the second stage of the campaign, Saint England and the Blood Shark Guild defended the French base with a smaller number of troops, the average reward distributed to each person was several times or even ten times more than that of ordinary players.
.
As the leader of this combined fleet, he has received many benefits.
Including the gains from the first stage, he already has more than 300 points.
And according to the form for British officers, the lowest grade purple equipment only requires 500 points.
This means that as long as Wang Hao's performance in the final decisive battle is not too bad, he will be able to secure a purple outfit this time.
So far, he has not seen a single purple outfit, except for the Pirate Code.
In addition to purple equipment, there are countless green and blue equipment. It is difficult to see a white equipment here.
The break ended quickly.
When Wang Hao logged into the game to summon guild members, he found that the spirits on everyone's faces were not very good.
Think about it, six or seven hours have passed since the beginning of this historical battle event. Even if there is an intermission, it is still a big burden for most players.
After everyone arrived, Wang Hao briefly talked about the arrangements for this final battle.
Different from the battle of wits and courage in the previous two stages, in this final decisive battle, it was a complete competition of the strength of both sides.
The naval fleets of both sides and the players will engage in an unrestricted large-scale naval battle on a designated battlefield until one side is completely destroyed or surrenders.
In other words, in this battle, there is basically no need to use your brain, just work hard to kill the enemy.
Of course, this is only for the most ordinary players.
If you want to get a higher score, you need to join the local NPC fleet. Sinking one NPC warship is more profitable than sinking ten player warships.
There is another important reason why Wang Hao encourages everyone to look for enemy NPCs and kill them, that is, killing the opponent's NPCs can give your own fleet a morale bonus.
Basically, if one hundred ordinary warships of the enemy are not sunk, the enemy's morale will be -1, and ours will be +1.
The increase and decrease value for every hundred enemy and friendly ships at the elite level is 5, and at the boss level it is 10.
Well, if you can sink the enemy's period, although you won't win immediately, you can get a 50 morale bonus.
This is plus and minus, and any player who knows a little bit about military affairs should know what this means.
However, for ordinary players, these things are too difficult.
Ordinary NPC warships are equivalent to third-level standard warships, elite-level ones are equivalent to special modified ships of the same level, and boss-level ones have the strength of fourth-level modified ships. As for the flagships of both sides, think about the strength of the legendary captain.
You should know how powerful the other party is.
In fact, in historical battles, it is rare for one party's flagship to be destroyed, especially in the early stages of the game. With the player's current strength, it is tantamount to wishful thinking to sink a legendary captain's ship.
As for killing, there is no need to think about it. It is really the most critical moment. With the wisdom of these legendary captains, it would be strange not to escape.
After Wang Hao instilled this information into everyone present, they soon heard the call for assembly. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
