A sailboat with a golden color refracted in the sun sailed towards Bayam at a relatively fast speed. Its white sails were blown up by the wind, and the symbol of the "Omniscient Eye" inside the golden skull radiated a little light.
At the stern of the ship, the first mate "Gourmet" Blue Walls of the "Golden Dream" was leaning against the railing. The shadow cast by the sails obscured his handsome but slightly serious face. He was obviously under the shadow, but he was eagle-eyed.
However, the monocle on his hooked nose became like being hit by the sun, refracting white light, making it difficult to see his left eye clearly.
He is nearly 1.8 meters tall. He is wearing a suit and a special robe. His short gray curly hair and short beard of the same color under his chin make him look like a professor who combines modernity and tradition. The occasional sea breeze blows his head.
In his robe, you can see that there are many items hidden inside.
The sound of rapid but rhythmic footsteps made Blue Walls tilt his head, but the white light still reflected on his monocle.
"Walls, is Senior close?"
"No, they seem to be aware of the problem, they are forming a formation, and they seem to be preparing to attack. But those pirates are just ordinary ships. If it weren't for Senior, even if we have slowed down, it will be difficult for them to catch up.
Come on us."

The visitor has a deep outline like a stone carving and brilliant blond hair. Although there is a bright smile on his face, there is a bit of worry in his eyes. He is the second officer of the "Golden Dream", "Singer" Olver.
S.
Looking at the Senior fleet that had disappeared on the sea, Orpheus couldn't help but shook his head and said:
"Isn't this too risky to do?"
"You can go talk to the captain." Blue Walls pointed in the direction of the captain's cabin.
"My sun always points in the right direction!"
The aria-like voice made Blue Walls tremble, and he stretched out his hands to grab the robe and wrap it tightly around himself. Even though the two had worked together for many years, he was not very accustomed to this way of expression.
Suddenly, the white light refracted by the monocle disappeared for a moment and then recovered again, causing the first mate of "Gourmet" to change his expression and said hurriedly:
"Orpheus, go and preside over the purification cannon. The navy's fleet has arrived!"
"I see."
Orpheus' figure flashed, his blond hair flowing, and he ran towards the deck.
The next moment, the voice of "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina sounded in the ears of every crew member.
"Get ready to fight."
As the first mate, Blue Walls did not follow the plan to coordinate the crew to prepare for the battle. He reached into the inner pocket of his robe and grabbed a brass piece. After instilling spirituality, his body floated directly and flew straight towards
to the captain's cabin.
The arrival of the naval fleet was in their plan, but the flagship of Amyrius actually appeared inside!
If this admiral, a strong man who is half god and half human, is among them, then their idea of using the navy to get rid of Senior will be in vain!
The door to the captain's room is half open, and you can directly see Edwina standing in front of the bookshelf holding a crystal ball filled with blue light. She moves her fingers slightly, covering the crystal ball like a red spider web, letting it
It broke into seven or eight pieces. With a shake of his wrist, he threw these pieces into the wooden trash can.
"captain……"
"Emilius is not on his flagship, just go as planned."
…
"What did you do!"
Lieutenant Colonel Lurian, who was dressed as a blond secretary, glanced at the broken crystal ball on the conference table, and locked the suspect in his heart, the only person in the captain's room, the crazy adventurer Gehrman Spahr dressed as Emilius Levitt.
Luo.
What did I do? I didn't do anything! If the divination results hadn't told me that I had nothing to do with you, I would have thought that you were planning to frame me... Klein tugged at the corners of his slightly drooped mouth, and his deep blue eyes were cold.
Looking at Lu Er'an:
"Obviously, someone deliberately lured us here. This is a trap!"
What? A trap... Lu Er'an, who subconsciously thought that the other party was shirking responsibility, was about to refute, but suddenly thought that the other party had signed a contract with Amylius, and his face became ugly:
"This was delivered a week ago."
"It's Edwina. She wants to use us to get rid of Senior."
Klein has determined the source of the crystal ball through divination on the gray fog. Coupled with the recent situation of "Vice Admiral Iceberg", it is not difficult to guess what the other party is thinking.
"Then let's..."
Lu Er'an opened his mouth, swallowed the second half of the sentence, and hurriedly turned around and walked out of the captain's room.
Klein breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the window, picked up a monocular and looked for targets on the sea. Although he was dressed as Aemilius, he could not have command authority, nor could he command naval battles. The only thing he could do was
Just use this status to stabilize morale.
…
Changwei Island in the southern part of the Rossed Sea.
The coastal ports have been shrouded in a sea of fire and gunpowder smoke. A large number of sailors have been "blocked" in the naval barracks. The installed coastal defense guns have either been blown up by shells, the barrels have been twisted, and the bases have collapsed. Some preparations have been made to prevent piracy.
The ammunition was also exploded by several shells, and charred corpses could still be seen in the blazing flames.
However, there was only one pirate ship flying a black tulip flag along the coast. Ludwell, wearing an exaggerated three-cornered hat embroidered with white skulls and feathers, a white shirt with lace and a complicated and gorgeous brown short coat, stood on the deck.
He touched the silver mask on his face, and the pale flames in his eyes burned quietly.
The skeletons and floating undead creatures behind them have stopped bombarding them, and they no longer control the sails, allowing the "Black Tulip" to wander along the seashore.
After "Admiral Hell" completely destroyed the confidence of the sailors stationed there, he did not choose to land, nor did he control the undead creatures to attack and plunder, leaving the "Nighthawks" team and the "Punisher" team on the shore to prepare the sealed objects.
Unable to launch a corresponding attack, he could only watch the pirate general use artillery fire to destroy a coastal defense gun.
At this time, Ludwell, who had been making no big moves, looked into the distance. He pulled out a thin rapier hanging from the cowhide belt that held the white tights around his waist, and pointed the sword towards the north.
The skeletons and floating undead creatures behind him started to move again, either manipulating the sails or carrying cannonballs. The pale living corpse with the long sword also climbed up, staring in the direction of the rapier with eyes stained with green flames.
.
The huge "Black Tulip"'s sails were swollen and sailed towards the north, leaving the "Punisher" on the shore who was preparing to fight. It was not until the captain of the "Nighthawk" on the side reminded that it should be stationed in the Rossed Sea.
The navy arrived after receiving the news.
Although they had sent out a signal for help when they were attacked, they, who were located on the southernmost side of the Rossed Sea, did not expect that the reinforcements would come so quickly.
…
In the sky above the armored fleet of the "Pulitz", an almost transparent eye appeared. It had a pale opening and was looking down, unblinking.
"Ghosts and resentful spirits are prohibited here!"
The majestic ancient Hermetic language sounded, and the ghost eye was like glass about to break, with spider web-like cracks spreading out from the pale child's hole.
Wilson, who was wearing a dark blue rear admiral uniform, had a solemn expression on his rough face, and spoke the ancient Hermetic language again:
"Violators shall be punished!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two six-barreled machine guns spit out tongues of fire. The ordinary copper bullets were pushed by the expanding gas and squeezed by the barrel of the gun, and flew out at high speed, weaving a dense network of firepower.
.
If you observe carefully, there is a faint light like the morning sun floating on the surface of those bullets.
This is not a "purification bullet" specially made by the Church of Steam. It will have a mystical effect when attacking an object that violates the laws announced by the "Punishing Knight", and it is a targeted attack with a certain hit effect.
This is one of the reasons why Major General Wilson, who is a "Punishing Knight", can become the commander of the "Plitz". Another main reason is that after being promoted to "Law Mage" and becoming a demigod, it is impossible to command only one army.
A fleet with only a dozen warships is often the supreme commander of a large fleet or a certain region.
For example, Aimilius is the supreme commander of the Loen Navy in the Central Sunian Sea region. In addition to the Central Sunian Fleet consisting of more than 200 warships, he also has naval bases on various islands, naval camps, etc.
The "Plitz" armored fleet can deal with ordinary pirates or ordinary enemy warships. It can suppress the opponent through its superior performance. Even the pirate general only needs one "punishment knight". Only if the target is the pirate king, demigods will be temporarily dispatched to join.
"Expand the horizontal formation, Ludwell is in front, don't let him escape!"
Before the large-scale installation of artillery on warships, the deployment of single and multi-line formations was a common tactic, because both sides had to conduct boarding battles and ramming battles, leaving enough space to maneuver. After the large-scale installation of artillery, in order to carry forward
With firepower and ease of command, the fleet battle formation was born, interspersed and divided tactics were implemented, and firepower advantages were used to eliminate opponents.
But now that "Hell Admiral" Ludwell only has one ship, there is no need for interleaved tactics. The horizontal formation is more conducive to concentrating firepower, and can also be used to surround the opponent in a circle.
Standing on the observation deck, Wilson reached out and took the binoculars from the adjutant's hand. He ordered to search for the target "Black Tulip" at the same time, but after only ten seconds, he put down the binoculars and shouted coldly:
"Speed up the deployment speed and prepare for bombardment!"
He had already seen the dark green sailboat, as well as the overwhelming ghosts and resentments. Facing the more than ten warships that were about to launch, the "Hell Admiral" had the highest bounty among pirate generals.
He actually faced me head-on without any fear!
After the majestic giant ship "Pultz", which shone with metallic light, took the lead in taking advantage of its own artillery advantage, the fleet behind it also gradually transitioned from a horizontal formation to a circular formation, and started bombarding one after another.
Even though the armored fleet could only use the artillery on the bow and deck due to formation tactics, the attack of more than ten warships together was no less than the simultaneous firing of dozens of artillery on the side of the "Black Tulip".
Although the cannonball trailing the red tail flame did not hit, the waves that exploded in the water turned into turbulent waves, pushing Ludwell's ghost ship back more than ten meters.
The expression of the "Admiral of Hell" wearing a silver-white mask cannot be seen clearly. We can only see some clues from the pale flame burning more intensely in his eyes. He stabs the sword in his hand on the front finger and wears the square black ring on his right hand.
The bursts of dark green and pale colors not only intensified the deathly aura surrounding the pirate general, but also added a touch of majesty.
The skeletons and living corpses behind them lowered their heads and became even larger. The shadows, resentful souls, and various weird spiritual creatures floating in the sky became clearer, and the cold and cold aura permeating their bodies rose into the sky.
, turning the area around the "Black Tulip" into a hell on earth.
Before the second round of bombardment started, these shadows, resentful souls and spiritual creatures rushed straight towards the surrounding fleet. They had been dead for countless years and were eager for life and firepower. Even if they occupied a tattered body,
So is the corpse.
Major General Wilson, who was holding binoculars, snorted coldly and issued an order:
"Continue to fire and sink the 'Black Tulip'. As for those things, wait until they get close and attack them with six-barreled machine guns and repeating rifles."
He has no idea of engaging in a boarding battle with the opponent, nor does he think that ordinary soldiers can fight against living corpses, skeletons, and resentful souls. The best tactic is to use one's own advantages. As long as the "Black Tulip" is sunk, these things
It can be solved naturally.
After exploratory and calibrated shooting, the "navigators" who were good at judging distances skillfully directed the gunners to fill the cannonballs, raise or lower the muzzles, and aim at the lone sailboat on the opposite side.
boom
boom
boom
Wearing an exaggerated three-cornered hat and a silver-white mask, "Admiral Hell" Ludwell also raised his clenched left fist in advance, spread his fingers, and aimed his palm at the flying cannonballs.
The illusory light first burst out, and then quickly rotated with a point as the center of the circle, then collapsed inwards, forming a slightly model-shaped double bronze door.
The surface of this bronze door is covered with various mysterious patterns, giving it an indescribable sense of depth and death.
The "Death Ring" worn on the index finger of Ludwell's right hand emitted an eerie light and became brighter.
Woo!
The bronze door, filled with an indescribable feeling, suddenly expanded, becoming twice as tall and as wide.
With a heavy creaking sound, the door opened, and the terrifying suction force immediately deflected the incoming shells and flew into the bronze door.
Caught by bloody arms without skin, green and black vines protruding the baby's face, and palms with cleft mouths full of teeth, the huge power they brought seemed to be silently resolved.
, and there was no explosion. It seemed that they did not fly out of the barrel.
The red color on the dark projectile dissipated and was stained with a layer of rusty red. It seemed that countless years of time had washed away in an instant and disappeared behind the bronze door.
Of course, even after the bronze gate quadruples in size, it can only intercept the cannonballs fired from the front, but the cannonballs fired to the side are intercepted by the living corpses and skeletons "risking their own lives".
Two holes, not too big and not too small, were created.
The shells entering the "Black Tulip" seemed to have entered a "dead" state, and only the huge power could cause some damage.
