Wang Tiandi seemed to understand Yi Lin's words.
He kept barking and suddenly became excited.
Two bright dog eyes are like two green light bulbs on the queen in the dark.
"Beat the Navy?"
Among the pirates, someone suddenly whispered.
"Are we going to beat the Navy?"
"Don't you run?"
"We are pirates!"
"But the captain is right. Isn't it natural for pirates to beat the Navy? Yo? Wait, what's natural? Oh, shit, can I drink it?"
“……”
Ruth's eyes widened.
Finally, she reacted that Yilin was not joking.
Yes!
The logic is clear and there is nothing wrong with it.
As a pirate, you should beat the Navy!
Yilin nodded affirmatively.
"How many times is your telescope?"
Ruth:
Irene didn't talk nonsense and directly put her military telescope into Ruth's hand.
Ruth raised her telescope and saw that Yilin's telescope was much higher than her bargain. She didn't code yet. Just at a glance, Ruth judged all the actions of the warship in the distance.
The queen... Is being watched!
Naval ships are coming this way at full speed!
Ruth's expression was dignified. In her mind, she quickly calculated the current and wind direction, and visually measured the tonnage of each other's warships... Various data gradually converged into a terrible answer in Ruth's calculation through [navigation] skills.
Even if you turn around now, you will be caught up sooner or later!
Unless... The queen can be sheltered by the sea!
But is that possible?
There are two women on this queen.
It is likely that the warship in the distance is also the "bad luck" brought by the two women.
Thinking of this, Ruth no longer hesitated. Like a woman in the wind, she put down her telescope and issued orders decisively.
"Follow the captain's orders! The queen is ready to attack!"
"Yo -"
All the pirates cheered in an instant.
There is an element of adventure flowing in the pirate's blood. Although the pirates are greedy for life and fear death, they have inexplicable confidence in the ship and their captain.
Maybe it's because of what Irene did in tetuga, or the mysterious "black magic" he showed.
If this kind of mystery, standing opposite the pirates, these pirates will definitely turn around and run away without hesitation.
But now, the skeleton gentleman with the mysterious power of "black witchcraft" is the captain of the ship!
And the dog that slapped people to death!
All this is the source of confidence for pirates.
In an instant, all the pirates on the queen, like beating chicken blood, fell to the ground with sharp hands and feet under the command of Ruth.
In the dark.
The other side of the queen.
It is a heavy warship reinforced by armor.
——The brave.
It is said that the origin of the ship's name is to commemorate the "fearless" sunk by those damn pirates through intrigue many years ago.
Known as the sister version of the fearless.
On the brave, a man dressed luxuriantly and wearing an officer's wig, with a calm face and determination like a knife, was holding a telescope and staring at the sailboat flying the skeleton flag in the dark without saying a word.
"Ha ha... Did you turn around? These damn pirates dare not fight us head-on."
"Report to lieutenant general pope! The pirate ship has turned around! Are we going to pursue it?"
Lieutenant general Pope: "hum! Full speed forward! As long as it's a pirate, we'll never let it go!"
The adjutant standing next to lieutenant general Pope hesitated for a moment: "lieutenant general, do you think the governor's fiancee will be on that ship?"
"Hehe, how is it possible?" Lieutenant general Pope shook his head: "half a month ago, nolando's stupid fleet suffered a shipwreck and was completely destroyed. Nolando drifted to a desert island. If he hadn't just met a passing merchant ship, nolando would have died. Even nolando who had undergone rigorous training could barely survive the shipwreck..."
"Do you think that the governor's fiancee can do better than nolando? Don't forget... She is a woman. Hehe, women are never favored by the sea."
The adjutant couldn't help asking, "does lieutenant general pope also believe in those ethereal 'curses'?"
Pope smiled coldly: "how could I believe it? Those are old legends! As a Royal Navy, we must believe in science."
"Of course -" Lieutenant General Pope's tone changed: "if I were nolandu, for the sake of insurance, after receiving the governor's fiancee on board, I would definitely sail along the offshore, put down the woman after arriving at the Royal port, and then return Ms. Elizabeth to the governor general through land transportation."
The adjutant smiled and said, "I really deserve to be lieutenant general Pope. I'm really steady."
"Wait."
Lieutenant general Pope suddenly frowned.
In a telescope.
The pirate ship with a strange skeleton flag had a white thing erected at the stern.
Very bright in the dark.
Look more carefully, it's a dirty white underwear.
Pope saw this and was speechless.
Seeing lieutenant general Pope's strange expression, the adjutant also raised his telescope.
A few seconds later, the adjutant's expression was the same as that of lieutenant general Pope.
"Ah? Those damn pirates are holding a white... Flag? Do they want to surrender?"
Lieutenant general Pope was silent for a moment and suddenly laughed.
"My stupid adjutant, do you remember the first lesson we learned at the naval academy?"
The adjutant nodded.
Because three sentences are printed neatly on the title page of each textbook of the Naval Academy——
Pirates must die
[pirates never tell the truth!]
[watch out for every pirate's rope!]
Every qualified Navy recited these three sentences over and over again.
Lieutenant general Pope: "remember, we are facing despicable and hateful damn pirates. They will rob ships, rob banks, destroy the execution ground and pretend to be judges. They do all kinds of evil... They surrender? It must be a conspiracy!"
"Subordinates understand!"
"Everyone! Load the shells! Move at full speed! Once the pirates are in range, listen to my instructions and be ready to fire at any time!"
A series of instructions were issued.
Pope twisted the telescope in his hand.
Suddenly.
In his greatest vision, he saw an elegant and mysterious black figure.
Is that... A tuxedo???
“?”
Pope couldn't help but make a big question mark.
Across the sea, on the other side.
The queen.
Erin put down the telescope.
As the two ships approached one after another, Yilin looked at a man holding a telescope on the enemy ship for a while.
"The other party's commander?"
Yilin smiled.
Ruth looked nervous.
She also guessed roughly the Artillery Equipment on the enemy warship through the telescope.
It seems to be just an intermediate warship, almost the same tonnage as the queen.
But obviously, from the other side's hull obviously strengthened with steel plate, if the two sides start shooting and fight, it is undoubtedly the queen who will suffer.
Light jio must be afraid of wearing shoes. After all, if they step on each other, light jio will certainly hurt more. There is no doubt.
——And the other party seems to be wearing iron boots.
In the cold wind.
Cha Ti covered his chilly legs and shivered.
"Dear great captain, can loyal Charlie put on these pants?"
Ruth was very speechless to Erin's act of pretending to surrender: "do you really think they will believe it?"
"I don't believe it."
Yilin comes to the conclusion.
"Then why don't you try?"
"Just try it, and you won't get pregnant. But it seems that the impression of pirates in the navy is very bad... Oh, by the way, Charlie, you can put on your pants and go away."
Wang Tiandi squatted in the bow and fluttered in the wind.
The two ships are getting closer.
Ruth looked more and more nervous.
The shells have been loaded.
On the brave, there was a clattering sound of chain movement from the bow iron plate. Two rounds of exquisite bow guns were pushed out of the hull, and the black barrel pointed directly to the direction of Irene and Ruth.
"Right now!"
Ruth suddenly shouted. In her nervousness, there was a broken sound in her voice, and she had no time to pay more attention.
"Anchor!"
"Put down all the sails!"
"Right full rudder! Sharp turn -"
This kind of backward sailboat, when moving and turning, drives differently. The car can be said to drag racing, turn and brake. But if you want to operate a medium-sized sailboat, you must take into account the wind direction, current and every structure of the ship.
It is also thanks to Irene's direct recruitment of nearly 200 people for the queen regardless of cost on tetuga Island, so that the queen is not short of manpower at present.
Hiss——
On the brave!
Before the queen turned sharply, Pope waved his hand and gave instructions.
"Bow gun, fire! Kill these damn pirates!"
Boom——
The two bow guns of the brave spewed out dazzling flames in the dark, and the shells burst out of the chamber.
But no one expected that half a minute before the shell came out of the chamber, the queen, within range, suddenly made a 180 degree turn on the sea, and in the twinkling of an eye it came to the side of the brave!
The two ships were so close that in the sea breeze, Pope could even smell rum floating along the sea breeze from the dirty pirate ship.
The Queen's sudden sharp turn only stunned the Veteran General Pope for a few seconds, and then sneered with disdain: "is this old-fashioned navigation again? Stupid pirates, don't you know that your sharp turn tactics have been recorded in textbooks since the Intrepid was destroyed by this move?"
Thinking of this, Pope continued to command calmly: "the damn pirates are on our right! The right string gun is ready, all shells are loaded! Wait for my command!"
On the queen.
Ruth bit her lower lip.
Her tactic of bombing after a sharp turn is indeed an old-fashioned tactic. It is said to be the wisdom left by a legendary pirate.
But the other side seemed to be in no hurry about this change. All the muzzles on the right side of the brave were opened, dozens of cannons were pushed out, and there was a cold confrontation with the queen across a small ocean.
Go on like this——
Maybe it was the queen who was sunk!
Right now.
On the queen, all the pirates, no one noticed, Erin raised the telescope again.
Lock your eyes on the figure on the enemy ship who stands the highest and moves the most.
"I guess you are the commander..."
Yilin whispered and coughed twice. Across the sea, he said loudly to the air.
"Let the world feel pain from now on!"
