Not only the ordinary pirates, but also the captains, even hook and Manshan were surprised. A complete pirate regiment has the following conditions: a captain, a vice captain, and then the sailors on board. Sailors can be subdivided into soldiers, logistics and maintenance personnel. Of course, the Pirate Group naturally needs a pirate ship, which is the basic element of a pirate group.
However, the number of talents, soldiers, ships and resources of the pirate regiment can be judged directly from the identity and status of the captain, or intuitively from the amount of reward offered by the captain.
Like an ordinary Pirate Group, the captain is basically only a person with five to six levels of ability, and even a novice with only three or four levels. Such pirate groups are usually not very large. They will have a small and medium-sized pirate ship with about 10 to 20 people on it.
Like the four pirates, the iron scale needless to say, it is the ship class specification of the papal hall. Even people like hook and hindrella who sit on medium-sized ships have thirty or forty members. But for people at their level, the number of personnel is not a standard to consider strength. In hindrilla, the pirate regiment at their level pays more attention to the quality of the crew.
Take hindrella as an example, the ten member Pro guard is the rank of ordinary pirate captain, and even in the knights, it is also a soldier at the rank of lieutenant. In particular, Eureka the skua was born as a bounty hunter. His current combat power has almost broken through level 7, only one step away from the high level. Such a person is a person everywhere in the western continent. It can be seen that the overall combat power of the water demon can basically rival the Knights' fleet of about 20 ships.
Manshan's walrus is only a little smaller than the iron scale, but Manshan's group has many affiliated ships, which can form its own fleet. Even among the secondary pirate groups, many pirate groups are directly under the command of Manshan. If necessary, Manshan can fight a complete Knights' fleet independently.
But the current situation is that on the other side of the Whisperer Strait are three complete Knights' fleets, with a total of more than 500 really large fleets. Such a force, if not for the existence of natural barriers such as Whisperer and devil channel in roaring Bay, would have been swept away by the Knights.
Even so, the geographical environment of the Whisperer Strait limits the firepower output of the papal hall. However, with the staffing of one ship alone, it can intercept 100 times its own number of enemies on the other side of the Strait, and the number of personnel is limited to 100. In other words, the quality of the members of destiny must be at least several levels above the four pirate regiments!
In addition to the captain of the four pirate regiments, the members of the second level have at least an average level of six. On this basis, improve several levels, that is, the secondary combat power below zero is at least level 8! And the eighth level is the strength of the army head and legendary captain!
For hook and Manshan, they couldn't help laughing bitterly after getting this inference. With more than eight ranks as their core members, it's no wonder that zero has the strength to fight the Poseidon order, and it's no wonder that women like Cinderella will submit to him. Of course, now they are the same.
But they don't know that there are two nine ranks in the zero secondary combat power!
It was still early in the morning, but the port of sea house was very busy. Originally there were hundreds of ports, but now there are only a hundred pirate ships. While the members of destiny intercepted the papal hall fleet, they also won very valuable time for the sea house. Since yesterday, all pirates at sea house have been mobilized. According to the order of zero, they will meet the knights who appear from the devil channel in two days.
This is no joke. It can be estimated from the number of warships outside the Whisperer strait that this is the combined strength of the three legions. Then there are at least two military commanders encircling from the devil channel. In addition, the iron scale to serve as a guide will have more than three enemy high-level combat forces on the devil channel. Plus the round table knights manipulated by the commander level, then the combat power is not as simple as one plus one.
Fortunately, destiny intercepted the Whisperer Strait this time, otherwise the pirate forces on the sea house could not fight on two fronts at the same time. In order to meet the enemy's high-level combat power, haizhijia is integrating resources. According to the meaning of zero, this is an elite war, which can not accommodate the troops of miscellaneous fish level. Instead of dispersing materials, it's better to concentrate on attacking each other.
So after selection, including three legendary captains such as hindrella, another 100 visible captains and their pirate regiments were selected as the main candidates for the war. The selected Pirate Group naturally excites everyone. After all, this is an epoch-making war. Regardless of the ultimate success or failure, it will always be recorded in the history of the western continent.
For those not selected, they will let their materials out and concentrate them on the wharf, and then a group of people headed by Mr. X will classify and distribute them. These materials are mainly combat resources, including ammunition, firearms and other materials. It can also be seen from the materials piled up on the wharf that some pirate groups have a very large gap between the rich and the poor. Some pirate groups can't even donate a firegun, while others carry boxes of high-quality military goods from the goods. These things are smuggled goods from the Pope's hall.
It can be seen that the holy papal hall may not be full of devout believers.
Among these strategic materials, the most valuable is a batch of CNOOC. CNOOC is both undersea oil. Of course, sea house does not have these resources. These CNOOC are high-grade goods obtained from several colonial islands with oil mines. The purity of this batch of sea oil is very high, and the purity of sea oil is directly proportional to the combustion time. With it, pirates can build a fire interception zone to limit the enemy to a battlefield they have set up.
To this end, Hooke put forward a proposal.
There are dense and complex islands in the sea area beyond the devil channel. If the enemy is introduced into that area, and then CNOOC creates a fire belt to block it, it will help the pirates to fight a beautiful ambush. But this suggestion was rejected by zero for two reasons. One is the complex island area. Although it is conducive to the concealment and ambush of pirates, at the same time, a large number of land also provides the round table knights with the conditions to give full play to their land war advantages. The second point, and the most important point, is that if the enemy can only be defeated by ambush and other means under the condition of full engagement. Then even if you win, it will give people a feeling of tragic victory.
However, this war is of great significance from any point of view. Zero insists on a tough posture of facing the enemy head-on and defeats the enemy head-on. This battle is not only a battle for the survival of the pirates, but also a gesture to all kinds of hostile or neutral camps in the western continent.
That is, the papal hall is not invincible, and the power of pirates is not what it used to be. Defeating the invading enemy with a tough stance undoubtedly slapped the papal hall and Sauron face to face. After that, we will fight with the papal hall. If we adopt guerrilla ambush and other means, it will be strategy rather than weakness.
In the past few years in asgat, especially after contacting many nobles and high-level figures in the later stage, zero understood a truth very well. That is, the same thing, in different order, will bring people different feelings. Especially for those big people, it will directly affect their evaluation of you and decide whether to fund or suppress you.
Solon's high-pressure policy has been implemented for more than ten years. Zero doesn't believe that there will be no two minded people under him, but confrontation is more to show these people in order to win more allies. This is the ultimate meaning behind the war. When zero was explained in this way, hook, who was originally opposed, finally agreed to the zero strategy.
Pirates, even the four legendary pirates. Even though they have superior combat power, they are not good at politics on this special battlefield. It can also be said that what they pursue is a free and unrestricted life. Therefore, from the perspective, there must be no zero view in the long run. What is important is not the name of World War I, but the far-reaching impact that this World War II can have on the whole situation in the future.
Whoever can master the situation of future development is the final winner. This is a game. If a chess player only sees the gains and losses in front of him, he has already lost the overall situation.
On the huge chessboard of the western continent, it is far from the time to decide the outcome.
Therefore, the issue of facing the enemy army head was finalized, but the details still need to be discussed. This includes how to master the correct time of the enemy's building ships, how to make good use of that batch of CNOOC to make fire belts, and some tactical details at that time. While the zero side was discussing this matter closely, the destiny members led by Franklin on the other side of the Whisperer channel fell into a bitter battle.
After removing all obstacles, Colonel madel changed his strategy today and concentrated a large number of knight armor and officers above the rank of lieutenant as the forward. For madel, this is undoubtedly a big bet, putting his strongest combat power into the breakthrough war in the Strait at one time. In case of failure, the fleet he led would be left with only a large number of ordinary soldiers with low combat effectiveness.
There is no doubt that Colonel madel was right this time. In the face of the huge firepower of the knight mecha group and the assistance of a large number of lieutenant level talents, the papal hall has formed a cutting force of more than several levels than yesterday. Despite Franklin's tenacious use of traps, terrain and the trumped group of high-level talents. But because of the huge difference in quantity, the fleet of the papal hall pushed forward in the Strait.
In this process, it can be seen that those with the ability of mass destruction such as belien have much more advantages in attacking the army than those with the strong ability of individual attack such as maple and su. It was also under the powerful firepower output of belien that the fleet of the papal hall did not break through the Strait at one breath. Faced with an overwhelming advantage in the number of enemies, Franklin had to adjust his plan.
In the case of Bellion's attraction and continuous output, Su and others turned the attack target into the other party's commander, and staged a drama of killing the enemy general in a thousand troops, which can be called a war example. Only after disintegrating the command system of the opposing fleet can the enemy's strength be continuously consumed through mobile warfare. In the end, facing the snowballing accumulated losses, madel had to stop pushing as an example, and set up a temporary forward base based on the channel bend, so as to prevent Franklin from taking the opportunity to recover the lost land.
On this evening, the Pontifical hall fleet changed its decadence and broke through Franklin's area 3 in the Whisperer channel. But for this, they also paid a high price. This includes the damage of hundreds of knight armor, while most of the officers above the lieutenant level and countless ordinary soldiers.
The battle was tragic. In order to prevent the breakthrough of the fleet, destiny had almost used up 80% of its supplies. Most of the ordinary sailors died in the battle. Although the capable ones were not killed in the battle, even the strong ones at this level were slightly injured under the fierce artillery fire of the enemy. As for those at Haiwei level, they were moderately injured, one or two serious injuries. They can't continue to fight tomorrow.
Belien was almost miraculously unharmed. Franklin did his best to protect his humanoid fort. Even the giant shelled several pieces of flesh with a shuttle mechanism in order to cover belien, but belien just exhausted his energy and almost lost his strength.
But with the power of one ship, the enemy warship team was blocked for two days. After this battle, I'm afraid the whole western continent will know their names.
But now, Franklin is still afraid to relax. Another day, as long as he stopped the other party for another day, he completed the order of zero confession. That evening, a fleet from the sea house was the pirates who had not been selected to fight in the devil's channel. They were assigned to assist Franklin and his party. Although the average combat power of these pirates is low, they also belong to the new forces, so some trivial work falls on them, and those who are capable get more rest time.
After witnessing the miracle of Franklin and other people blocking the papal hall fleet for two days, the pirates who served as reinforcements were excited and worked harder. So all the new traps were placed on the river after area 3 all night to prepare for the death battle for the arrival of tomorrow.
When the battle in the Whisperer Strait entered the white hot stage, in the devil channel, four building ships finally arrived at the exit before dusk and anchored on an isolated island near the exit. As night fell, thick radiation clouds spread across the sky, and then different from the old times. Although it was night, there was still a faint red light behind the radiation cloud, just like a sea of fire behind the cloud.
Therefore, the sky is always dark red at night in the new era. This is a depressing tone. Unfortunately, no one can change this tone. It was once said that if it were not for the existence of radiation clouds, all things on the earth would have become ruins in the flames. This is not an empty statement. After all, on the day of the great catastrophe, the planet's ozone layer has been devastated. Radiation clouds envelop the planet like a second protective layer, so that deadly cosmic rays do not fall directly on the earth.
Otherwise, the planet would have become a Death Star long ago, and life could not survive as reluctantly as it is now.
But even so, human beings or other life still strive to create destruction and push the planet towards the abyss of death. Ironically, although this is against the wishes of the vast majority of creatures, the decision-making power is in the hands of a few people.
The pyramid shaped power structure of the planet determines that the fate of mole crickets is only in the hands of a few people at the top of the pyramid.
This is the default rule in the world. Many people are dissatisfied, but no one can break it.
Looking up at the dark red sky, habes was silent for a long time. The black double breasted robe danced lightly in the wind, like a thick ink. The ink wrapped habes, and the light in the young leader's eyes didn't seem as clear as before.
"I see, the faith in your heart is not so firm." karomon's voice sounded behind him. Habes smiled and turned away.
The middle-aged man threw a wine bottle to habes, but he threw it back for the latter. Habes shook his head and said, "I don't drink."
"What's the fun of such a rigorous life?" caromon sat down on the ground, drank wine and said, "there will be a war tomorrow. You have to learn to have fun in time."
"My joy is not based on alcohol." habes said faintly and looked into the deep part of the roaring Bay: "Captain karomon, don't you notice? Is this bay too calm?"
Karomon gulped his wine and said, "it's normal that the old man madel took people directly to the Whisperer channel. It's strange that the pirates didn't intercept. In this way, isn't it normal for the bay to be calm?"
Habes frowned: "but I remember that Colonel madel led three complete fleets. With such force, it should have been killed in the bay. Why is the pirate headquarters so quiet?"
"If the legendary captains tried to intercept, it's not surprising that madel couldn't cross the strait for the time being. Not to mention Hooke and Manshan, it's the hindrilla. What I'm more concerned about is how much firepower madel attracted to the pirates. It's best to firmly attract them to the Strait, so that we can wrap up from the back and end the war in one fell swoop It's a battle. "
Habes had some disapproval in his heart, and the too calm roaring Bay brought him a trace of uneasiness.
This is an intuition.
At this time, habes heard some strange sounds. It was the sound of bubbles in the sea, and the sound came from the sea under the ship.
