Not only the ordinary pirates, including the captains, but also Hooke and Manshan were surprised. A complete Pirate Group 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 also 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 group can be judged directly from the status of the captain or, more intuitively, from the amount of reward offered by the captain.
Like an ordinary Pirate Group, the captain is basically a level 5-6 capable person, and the newcomer is even a level 3-4 novice. And such a pirate group is usually not very big. They will have a small and medium-sized pirate ship with about 10 to 20 people on it.
And like the four pirates, the iron scale is needless to say, it is the specification of the pontiff's hall. Huck and hindrella, who were sitting on medium-sized ships, also had thirty or forty members. But for people of their level, the number of personnel is not a standard of strength. In hindrella, the Pirate Group of their level paid 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 knight order, it is the rank of lieutenant. In particular, Eureka the skua, who was born as a reward hunter, has nearly broken through the seventh level of combat power and is only one step away from the higher level. This kind of person is a character everywhere in the western continent. It can be seen from this that the overall combat power of the water demon can basically match that of the Cavalier fleet formed in about 20 ships.
However, the walrus of Manshan is only a little smaller than the iron scale in size, but Manshan's group has a number of affiliated ships, which can form its own fleet. Even among the second-class pirate groups, many of them are directly under the command of Manshan. If necessary, Man Shan can fight against a complete Cavalier fleet independently.
But now, on the other side of the Whisperer channel, there are three complete fleet of knights, more than 500 of them. Such a force would have been wiped out by the Knights if it had not been for the existence of such natural barriers as whisperers and devil's channel in roar Bay.
However, due to the geographical environment of the Whisperer channel, the firepower output of the papal hall is limited. However, with only one ship's personnel establishment, we can intercept 100 times the number of our own 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 a few levels above the four pirate groups!
In addition to the captain, the members of the four pirate regiments have at least six ranks on average. On this basis, we can upgrade several levels, that is to say, the secondary combat power below zero is at least eight levels! The eighth level is the strength of the commander of the army and the legendary captain!
For Hooke and Manshan, they couldn't help laughing bitterly after they got this inference. With more than eight ranks as its core members, it's no wonder that zero has the courage to fight against the sea god, and it's no wonder that women like hindrella will submit to him. Now, of course, they are the same.
But they don't know that in the secondary combat power of zero, there are two ninth level players!
Still in the early morning, the harbor of haizhijia is very busy. Originally, there were hundreds of ships in the harbor, but now there are only a hundred pirate ships. While the members of destiny intercepted the papal hall fleet, they also won precious time for the sea house. Since yesterday, all the pirates on the sea house have been mobilized. According to zero's order, they will meet the captains of the order who appear from devil's fairway in two days.
This is not a joke. From the number of warships outside the Whisperer channel, it can be estimated that this is the combined strength of the three legions. Then there are at least two army commanders who have been encircled from the devil's path, plus the iron scale who is going to act as a guide. How can the enemy's high-level combat power that will appear in the devil's path be more than three. 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 channel this time. Otherwise, the pirates on the sea house could not fight on both fronts at the same time. In order to meet the enemy's high-level combat power, haizhijia is integrating its resources. According to the meaning of zero, this is an elite battle, which can't accommodate the troops of miscellaneous fish level. Instead of dispersing the materials, it's better to gather them to meet each other.
So after selection, including three legendary captains such as hindrella, another 100 captains and their pirate group were selected as the main candidates for the war. Naturally, everyone in the selected Pirate Group is excited. After all, this is an epoch-making war. Regardless of the final success or failure, it will always be recorded in the history of the western continent.
Those who have not been selected will let out their own materials and concentrate them on the wharf, and then they will be classified and distributed by a group of people headed by Mr. X. These materials are mainly combat resources, including ammunition, firearms and other materials. From the materials piled up on the wharf, we can see that there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor among the pirate groups. Some of them can't even donate a musket, while some of them carry out boxes of high-quality military goods from the goods, which are smuggled goods from inside the papal 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 a kind of undersea oil. Of course, haizhijia does not have the resources for this, but it is a high-grade product 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 burning time. With it, pirates can build a firebelt to confine the enemy to a battlefield they set up.
To this end, Hooke put forward a proposal.
After coming out of the devil's fairway, there are more dense and complex islands. If the enemy is led into that area and sealed off with a fire belt made by CNOOC, it will be beneficial for the pirates to fight a beautiful ambush. But this proposal was rejected by zero for two reasons. One is the complex island area. Although it is conducive to the concealment and ambush of pirates, a large number of land also provides the round table knights with the conditions to play the advantage of land war. The second and most important point is that if the enemy can only be defeated by means of ambush when they are fully engaged. So even if you win, it will give you a sense of a miserable victory.
However, this battle is of great significance no matter from any angle. Zero insists on adopting a tough attitude of facing the enemy head-on, and defeats the enemy in an upright manner. This war is not just for the pirates to survive, but also to make a gesture to all kinds of hostile or neutral camps in the western continent.
The papal chamber is not invincible, and the power of pirates is not what it used to be. To defeat the enemy with a tough stance undoubtedly slapped Pope hall and Sauron in the face. After that, if we fight with the papal hall and take guerrilla ambush and other means, it will be strategy rather than weakness.
In the past few years in asgart, especially after contacting many noble and high-level figures in the later period, 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 has a direct impact on their evaluation of you and their decision to subsidize or suppress you.
Solon's high-pressure policy has been implemented for more than ten years. Zero does not believe that there will be no ambidextrous people under him, and confrontation is more about showing these people so as to win more allies. This is the ultimate significance behind the war. When zero explained it in this way, Hooke, who was originally against it, finally agreed to the zero strategy.
Pirates, even the four most legendary pirates. Even though they have superior combat power, they are not good at politics. It can also be said that what they pursue is just a free and unrestrained life. Therefore, in terms of vision, there must be no long-term perspective. What we want is not the name of the first World War, but the far-reaching impact of the war on the whole situation in the future.
Whoever can grasp the future development situation 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.
However, on the huge chessboard of the western continent, it is far from the time to decide the outcome.
So the matter of facing the head of the enemy army was settled, but the details still need to be discussed. It includes how to grasp the correct time when the enemy building ships appear, how to make good use of that batch of offshore oil to make fire belts, and some tactical details at that time. While the zero side was discussing this matter closely, the destiny members headed by Franklin on the other side of the Whisperer channel were in a bitter struggle.
After clearing all the obstacles, today, Col. madel changed his strategy and concentrated a large number of knights in the fleet and officers above the rank of lieutenant as vanguards. For madel, this is undoubtedly a gamble, putting his strongest fighting force 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 is right this time. In the face of the huge firepower of the Cavalier mecha group and the assistance of a large number of capable officers at the rank of lieutenant, the papal hall has formed a more powerful penetrating force than yesterday. Despite Franklin's tenacious use of traps, terrain, and the ace of the high-level ability group. But because of the huge difference in quantity, the fleet of papal hall pushed forward in the Strait.
In this process, we can see that those who have the capability of mass destruction, such as belline, have much more advantages in attacking the army than those who have the capability of individual attack, such as fenghesu. It was also under belline's powerful firepower output that the papal hall fleet did not break through the Strait at one go. Faced with the overwhelming number of enemies, Franklin had to adjust his plan.
Under the circumstances of belline's attraction and continuous output, Su and others turned the target of attack into the commander of the other side, and staged a drama of killing the enemy general in a thousand troops, which can be regarded as an example of war. Only after the command system of the opposing fleet was disintegrated, the enemy's strength was constantly consumed through mobile warfare. In the end, in the face of snowballing losses, madel had to stop advancing and set up a temporary advance base based on the bend of the Strait, so as to prevent Franklin from taking the opportunity to recover his lost territory.On this evening, the pontiff's Hall fleet broke through the murmur channel to the No. 3 area designated by Franklin. But for this, they also paid a high price. Among them, hundreds of Knights' armor were damaged, while most of the officers above the rank of sergeant were damaged, and there were countless ordinary soldiers.
The battle was fierce. In order to prevent the fleet from breaking through, destiny had almost used up 80% of its supplies. Most of the crew members died in the battle. Although the capable ones were not killed in the battle, even the strong ones of Su level were slightly injured under the fierce fire of the enemy. As for Haiwei level, they were moderately injured, with one or two serious injuries. They can't continue to fight tomorrow.
Belline is almost miraculously unscathed, in order to protect his man type fort, Franklin can be said to do his best. Even the giant in order to give belien cover to a shuttle mechanism bombardment fly several pieces of skin and flesh, but belien just used up energy almost to take off.
But with the strength of one ship, the enemy's warships were 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 you stop the other party for one more day, you will complete the zero order. That evening, a fleet of Pirates came from the sea house, but they were not chosen to fight in the devil's fairway. They were assigned to help Franklin and his party. Although the average combat power of these pirates is low, they belong to the new forces, so some trivial work falls on them, and those who have no ability get more rest time.
After witnessing the miracle of Franklin and other people blocking the papal hall fleet for two days, the pirates who acted as reinforcements were all in high spirits and worked harder. So all the new traps were set up in the river after area 3 overnight to prepare for the coming of tomorrow.
When the battle in the Whisperer channel entered into a white hot stage, four warships in the devil's fairway finally arrived at the exit before dusk and anchored on an island near the exit. As night fell, a thick cloud of radiation crossed the sky, and then it was different from the old times. Although it is night, there is still a faint red light behind the radiation cloud, just like a sea of fire behind the cloud.
So the sky is always dark red at night in the new era. This is a depressing tone, but no one can change it. It was once said that if it were not for the existence of radiation clouds, everything on the earth would have been in ruins in the flames. After all, on the day of the cataclysm, the ozone layer of the planet has been devastated. The radiation cloud covers the planet like a second protective layer, so that the lethal cosmic rays do not fall directly on the earth.
Otherwise, the planet would have become a death star, and life would not be able to survive as it is now.
But even so, human or other life is still trying to create destruction, pushing the planet to the abyss of death. Ironically, although this is against the will of the vast majority of creatures, the decision is in the hands of a few people.
The pyramid shaped power structure of the planet determines that the fate of all living beings is only in the hands of the few people at the top of the pyramid.
This is the default rule of 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 dances gently with the wind, like a thick black. The ink color is wrapped around habes, and the light in the eyes of the young team leader does not seem as clear as before.
"I can see that the faith in your heart is not so firm." Karomon's voice sounded behind him, and habes turned away with a smile.
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?" Carromon sat down on the floor, drank the wine and said, "tomorrow is going to war. You have to learn to have fun in time."
"My joy is not based on alcohol." Habes said faintly, and then looked to the depth of the roaring Bay: "Captain carromon, don't you notice? Is this bay too calm? "
"It's normal," said carromon, purring his wine, "that old man madel took people directly to the Whisperer channel. It's strange that the pirates didn't stop him. So, isn't it normal for the Gulf to be calm? "
Habes frowned. "But I remember that Colonel madel was leading three complete fleets. With such force, it's time to enter the Gulf. Why is the pirate headquarters so quiet? "
"It's not surprising that madel has not been able to cross the strait for the time being if the legendary captains are fighting to intercept him. Not to mention Hooke and Manshan, that Cinderella is already very difficult. What I am more concerned about is how much firepower madel has attracted to the pirates. It's better to attract them firmly in the Strait, so that we can outflank from the back and end the battle at one stroke. "Habes, however, was not satisfied. The calm roar of the Bay made him uneasy.
It's an intuition.
At this time, habes heard some strange sounds. It was the sound of bubbles coming out of the sea, and the sound came from the sea under the ship.
