The sun is like blood.

The chase on the sea stopped temporarily. There was no wind and sail, no ship and waves. There was only a heavy and dull echo, intermittent and capricious.

It was a gunshot.

The gunfire of maritime commuting is like a drum, or like a thick and thin iron needle of a drumstick. The sharp tip of the needle pokes and nails the scream of dying people, creating a miserable painting of the end of the world.

The painting volume is called "cleaning the battlefield".

Bang... Bang... Bang... Bang... Bang

There is no useful rhythm in the gunfire echoing on the sea. Such a sound cannot be listened carefully. Once addicted to it, people can easily shake on the board of the ship, and then wipe the side of the ship and fall into the sea.

Les stepped nervously over the boat board, his new deer skin boots stepped on the greasy blood and broken meat, and felt the sticky and soft feedback.

"It's like stepping into the throat of some monster..." he vomited his tongue disgustingly and walked to Harry. "Major, these people are really businessmen?"

Harry's cold eyes swept over and whispered, "it's not the first time you've dealt with them. You should have known that they are the most bloodthirsty people on the sea."

"Er... That's not what I meant." rice danced and thought for a long time, "three minutes' board contact tactics. I thought there would be a bloody battle if I stormed the deck in three minutes. Who knows..."

"The fundamental purpose of tactics is to kill effectively." Harry interrupted rice. "Incitement, luring the enemy and strong attack are all means to achieve the purpose. Although I don't understand naval warfare, I guess this docking tactic is probably not just bluff."

Boom!

The poop door beside him was pushed open, and LEV came out of the cabin with blood and showed his white teeth to Harry.

"I didn't expect you to be much smarter than your attendants, landlubbers." he laughed. "Three minutes to connect the ship's side means to launch the ship's side connection within three minutes. If there are fewer people on the deck, they will attack hard, and if there are more people on the deck, they will wash the ground. The ocean is not as winding as the land. We only choose the most effective method. If the anti rightful person is killed, he will die."

Harry bowed silently to LEV.

Leff laughed more happily, abandoned the army duo and strode to the middle of the deck: "boys, where are the living people who haven't surrendered?"

"The whole ship surrendered, charge master, and 33 live ones were found!" a sailor replied loudly.

"Five people are assigned to take care of the prisoners. The rest seize the time to clean the deck and inform the captain to receive the ship!"

"Yes!"

The deck suddenly became lively.

The bloody stormtroopers walked out of the cabin with mops. The shooters with muskets replaced them with short guns to repair each complete head and chest. Lev kicked the collapsed artillery into the sea with one foot and ordered Cao to take people to clean the inner cabin.

It was a bloody hell scene, but Drake's sailors overflowed with the prosperity of a sub factory. The energetic cry was more frightening than the cry of dying suffering.

Les couldn't help but hit a clever: "this is probably the most energetic body collection team I've ever seen..."

"The cold blood of capital." Harry's voice was low and raised. "In addition to the cold blood, the characteristics of capital also have reality. We are marginalized... If we don't show our value, I'm afraid we will soon lose our partner's position and become cannon fodder unknowingly."

Les was startled: "no? Although we really can't do anything on board, we still have a lieutenant colonel on shore..."

"Oh! Who lost our greatest advantage?" Harry blacked. "That indescribable idiot, impulsive fool, thanks to him, we can't use Drake as cannon fodder. Now, it's just retribution!"

Lorraine soon received the signal to receive the captured ship. The time was about 10 to 15 minutes after launching the connection. The speed was very fast. Moreover, according to the information sent back, only two stormtroopers boarded the ship were slightly injured, and the price paid was minimal.

The biggest contributor to the victory was the gun cabin. Incomplete statistics showed that the round of shrapnel near the full side caused more than 100 direct deaths and similar injuries, ranging in severity.

The only work of the Stormtrooper team after receiving the side is to repair the knife and put out the fire. In the process, it broke through the only three compartments that organized resistance. Cao hacked one and LEV scared one. The above is almost the whole process of receiving the side.

In a word, the yield is very high

Unfortunately, it will take at least two hours to officially receive the warship, because it is getting dark and the ship is too dirty. It is inhumane for sailors to walk on a strange ship in dark. It is particularly prone to non war damage and increase additional pension expenses.

Lorraine calculated the small account in her heart, raised her head and asked the sailor who came to report: "Captain Eriksson has captured 33 live pirates?"

"Yes, Captain! We have searched the whole ship to ensure that there are no omissions."

"Can the submachine on board still be used?"

"One was roughly intact, and the other was smashed by shrapnel," the sailor regretted.

"Really..." Lorraine shrugged. "Considering that there are still war tasks to do next, ask the prisoners for their opinions as soon as possible."

"They can choose to drive away the submachine boat, or they can choose to be hanged on the side of the boat. We will provide two barrels of rum sprinklers and a few sailor knives for the boat in accordance with the Pirate Code. We are not allowed to take away personal belongings."

The sailor opened his mouth.

"By the way, give them half an hour to think about it. Don't waste too much time."

"Yes."

The sun has sunk very low

Looking at the sunset with only half of his face left, Lorraine just wanted to organize more people to join in the cleaning of the virgin cigar. Suddenly, he heard the roar in the north, and edre flew over from the poop.

"Captain! Emergency!"

"What's the matter?"

"The southern battlefield is escalating and the Vida is in crisis! Ms. dipo and chief tactical officer Han Ji suggest you give up the virgin cigar immediately. If you are not happy, the black Prince Bellamy is estimated to be dead!"

……

The war situation turned rapidly in an instant, and it was not even clear whether it was getting better or worse.

Valkiri's sailors gathered quickly, including Lev and Kao, who presided over the big picture on the virgin cigar.

Katrina stood in front of the chart and reported the information seen in the lookout room.

"Before and after we connected with the virgin cigar, the Vida launched an assault on the hound fleet. Because this assault was similar to most of the previous assault for more than an hour, the lookout did not warn."

"But in the previous charge, the Vida changed direction at close range every time, searching for a favorable position for shelling, and this time..."

She raised her pointer and drew a narrow arc on the chart, from the position of the Vida to the middle of the hound regiment.

"She crashed into it and was embedded between brig and a class V Galen. The three ships of the hound regiment had difficulty in moving because of insufficient spacing. After the Vida crashed into it, the four ships were almost completely stuck together."

Favna marked the chart with Katrina's instructions, [Galen a, Vader, brig, Galen b], and the four ships were handed over to the side and closely connected.

"When the Vida was shelled on both sides, Galen A and brig fought back with artillery immediately after the Vida was shelled. The three ships caught fire in varying degrees, and because they were too close to each other, the fire spread."

"I'm not sure if she died!" Katrina took a deep breath. "It was observed that there was a big explosion on the deck of the Vida, and three masts collapsed in different directions. The collapsed masts completely entangled the four ships, and then... The sailors of the Vida joined the side of Brig."

"That's all that was observed."

Katrina said her conclusion, then raised her head and stared at Lorraine.

"Captain, our purpose in this battle is to ask for help for the Vida. If the Vida sinks and Bellamy dies, even if we kill all the beavers, we will lose the battle."

"That's why you suggest giving up the virgin cigar, isn't it?" Lorraine asked with a frown.

"Yes!"

"No need..." Lorraine's answer was beyond everyone's expectation. "Bellamy chose to fight to the death. No matter what his reason is, we have no reason to be responsible for his life."

"But we still have to save..."

He pondered for a moment: "Karen, you and Cao and Kerry get on the virgin cigar, dispose of the prisoners and clean the deck. After the preparation for departure, go north and capture the paralyzed barg. If she doesn't want to surrender, she can sink."

Karen calculated the manpower: "80 sailors are very tight. I can't spare many people to operate guns except sailing."

"Valkiri is also understaffed, not to mention that we are likely to have to meet the ship for support. There are no more people for you."

Karen reluctantly spread his hand: "I'll go right away."

"The rest... The whole ship immediately turned to first-class combat readiness, set sail with full sail and rush for help at full speed!"

"Yes!"

When the crowd dispersed, valkiri untied the shackles of virgin cigars, and the sailors ran among the golden red of the sunset.

Lorraine stared sadly at the mark in the center of the chart and whispered.

"Survival or destruction, this is a question."

"Which choice is more noble, to endure the ruthless destruction of the violent fate, or to stand up against the boundless trouble and sweep it away?"

"No one will be reconciled. Plainly moaning and sweating dragged the rest of life, but when I think of death, I feel fear after death. After all, no one has ever come back from the land of death."

"The choice is therefore shaken! I would rather endure the current suffering than go to another suffering."

"Worry makes us all cowards."

"It makes the decisive nature cast a pale face of thinking. It could have made a great career. Because of thinking, it disappeared and lost the ability to act..."

The long aria flowed into the wind, and the sunset sank into the sea unconsciously.

The burning cloud is still in the sky, and the battlefield burning more fiercely than the cloud is on the other side.

Lorraine suddenly felt a sense of pleasure. There was an indescribable sense of pleasure. He immersed himself in all his limbs and bones along the wind.

"Survival or destruction... When Shakespeare asked this question, he probably never thought that there were really fools in the world who could get the answer."

"How stupid can a man be?"

"But since you can be so stupid, you shouldn't die in just half an hour?"

"The setting sun is so beautiful..."
