Chapter 808: Cannonballs are coming!

Chapter 808: Cannonballs are coming!

Robb sat down on a rock by the seaside, with Elsie on his left and Suofa on his right. Behind them were a large group of soldiers and miners from Westwind City, sitting in rows by the sea, eating fruit and preparing to watch the naval battle unfold.

However, the Maya people felt a sense of unease. They had just been hit by cannon fire and knew how powerful and formidable those projectiles were. Were these white people sitting by the sea not afraid of being accidentally hit by stray cannonballs?

A courageous Eagle Warrior couldn't help but ask the translator cautiously, "Aren't you afraid of cannonballs?"

The translator replied, "I'm a bit afraid myself, but these Westwind warriors next to me aren't afraid at all. It's strange. Let me ask for you."

After a few questions, one of the Westwind warriors chuckled softly and said, "Who in Westwind City doesn't know that sitting next to Godfather is the safest place in the world? There's no need to fear anything. Even if cannonballs come, we won't die..."

Before he finished speaking, a cannonball flew over from the sea and landed with a thud, hitting the Westwind warrior squarely in the head.

The warrior's skull instantly flattened, and he fell to the ground, lifeless.

The Eagle Warrior exclaimed, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"

"Don't be afraid, it's just one person who died," another Westwind warrior said, lifting the dead body and bringing it in front of Robb. As Robb raised his hand, the warrior immediately got up from the ground and said, "Oh? Did I just die? How did I die?"

"It was a cannonball that killed you!" another Westwind warrior laughed. "That Norma warship fired a shot at our ship, missed, and ended up hitting you right on the head."

The warrior who had just died smiled sheepishly. "Well, I must be really lucky. I'll have to try my luck at gambling tonight. Guaranteed win."

Everyone burst into laughter.

The translator: "..."

The Eagle Warrior: "..."

The Maya people: "..."

The Westwind warrior returned to the translator and said, "See, I told you we wouldn't die."

The translator, sweating profusely, said, "But you just died."

The warrior replied, "As long as you come back to life, it doesn't matter. It's totally irrelevant."

The broadside of the flagship was bombarded by a barrage of cannonballs, causing chaos and scattering wooden splinters as solid shells struck the wooden hull.

The Maya people on the shore watched with pale faces...

The people on the ship were naturally in a difficult situation. The captain roared, "Fight back! Counterattack with all your might! Let's concentrate our fire on their flagship."

Beside him, Kante wore an excited expression despite the danger and shouted along with the captain, "Charge forward, engage them in close combat, board their ship, and fight to the death! I'll personally slaughter those Norma pigs."

The captain retorted impatiently, "Knight, stop shouting here. Others might mistake your words for my orders and act recklessly. Shut up and stop disrupting my command system."

Kante looked embarrassed, "Ah, sorry. It's my first time participating in a naval battle, and I got too excited."

Before his words could settle, the captains face suddenly changed dramatically, and he yelled, "Get out of the way!"

"What?" Kante was startled and quickly turned his head. In that instant, he saw a solid iron cannonball whizzing through the air, approaching dangerously close to him.

There was no time to dodge. He only had time to raise the new shield in his left hand in front of him.

He managed to raise the shield, but deep down, he knew he was finished.

A shield couldn't withstand a cannonball. He was about to hear the sound of his shield shattering, followed by his own head being blown apart. But dying shouldn't be a problem. Godfather would definitely resurrect him...

As he was thinking this, he heard a loud "clang" as the cannonball struck the Saronite Shield in front of him. And then, surprisingly, that was it. The cannonball fired from the short cannon was actually deflected by the shield and fell weakly to the ground.

Kante looked bewildered, "Huh?"

The captain next to him was equally perplexed, "What the hell?"

Kante was drenched in sweat, "What kind of shield is this? Even if it's really strong and can't be shattered by a cannonball, it should still carry enough force to slam into me and kill me. How did it manage to block the cannonball?"
