Chapter 4 Its a pirate! (8)

"Don't leave the other party too far."

This was the order Andrea gave to test the performance of the enemy ship. However, it was not necessary to prove that the last half of the sentence was at all. The ships of the Pirate Kingdom approached Andrea at an astonishing speed, so that Andrea changed the fleet to advance at full speed, and the distance between the two sides was still shortening.

"This terrible speed... has thirteen knots, no, even fifteen knots?"

Depending on size and model, the speed of the Ligurian Republic floats around eight to ten knots. The speed of fifteen knots is far beyond Andrea's perception.

This made Andrea take a little more serious and raise his crutch and sway left and right. So the three ships scattered and headed in three directions. Seeing this, the ships of the Pirate Kingdom were also divided into three parts and chased them in three directions.

With the difference in speed, the two sides were getting closer and closer. This also allowed Andrea to observe the pirate kingdom ships more clearly.

"As I expected, the water was very shallow. It seems that it would not work to introduce the shallows."

Andrea made the ship he was riding on for a 90-degree turn. The ship of the Pirate Kingdom followed clumsyly and drew a large arc on the sea.

"I'm not a novice seafarer, but I don't seem to have fought any naval battles, and my movements are clumsy. But the arc is smaller than I thought, because the spiral performance of the ship is good?"

Andrea directed his ships to make large turn continuously to disrupt the pace of the pirate kingdom.

Just like many previews in advance, not long after, the three ships that had been dispersed gathered together again. The pursuers of the Pirate Kingdom did not get close to them as much as before they separated.

During this period of pursuit, Andrea's large troops were approaching slowly. Compared to Ella's fleet, the ships sent to chase Andrea were closer to Andrea's fleet.

"The situation is not right!" Ella hurriedly ordered, "Let our ship come back soon!"

The ships of the Pirate Kingdom quickly turned around and Andrea returned leisurely to his fleet.

"Marson, I'm really surprised," said Ansaldo. "The shipbuilding technology of the Pirate Kingdom seems to have far surpassed us, making me feel like a frog in a well!"

Andrea asked calmly: "So, what percentage do you think we have now?"

Ansaldo lowered his head and thought for a while: "Fifty percent."

"Fifty percent? Are you sure?"

"If there are a total of one hundred," Ansador replied cautiously, "they should indeed have 50% chance of winning... No, maybe 60%."

Andrea nodded: "I have the same view, so prepare to attack."

Andrea raised his hand, and the more than ten soldiers behind him took out a special wind instrument. The instrument was arranged in V-shaped shapes. The soldiers stuffed the two tubes into their mouths at the same time. As they slowly spit out the air from their belly, the long music slid across the sea and entered the ears of the soldiers on both sides.

"Is this...the voice of the Avros tube?"

The Aphros is a traditional instrument of the Seven Hills Empire. The quiet music sound is like a drizzle, gently knocking on Ella's heart, reminding Ella of the circles of ripples that swing on the rainy day in the Golden Horn Bay.

"Is there anyone on the other side missing the Qiqiu Empire?"

Ella felt a little wet in the corners of her eyes. But before she could wipe her tears, the music suddenly became sharp and turbulent, and the sound of rain turned into a flood that broke through the guard against it and rushed towards Ella!

Amy shouted, "Your Majesty! The fleet of the Republic of Liguria is rushing towards us at full speed! Give orders to fight!"

Ella nodded. So a soldier held two flags and waved them. The pirates who saw the flags passed the instructions further away with their roars: "Attack! Attack! Attack!"

The ships of both sides began to rush towards each other at full speed.

After entering the range of the bow and arrow, the soldiers holding the flag waved the two flags in a different way than they had just now. The pirates who saw the flag passed the new command with their roars. With the "Flying Zelamite" as the center, the ships of the Pirate Kingdom slightly deflected the bows, and the archers on the ship took the opportunity to shoot arrows towards the ship of the Republic of Liguria from the side. However, because the ships of the Republic of Liguria are generally one head taller than the ship of the Pirate Kingdom, many arrows are blocked by the hull, or they fly higher than their heads, and the shooting effect is not ideal.

Four catapults loaded on the Flying Zelamites began to shoot rock bombs at the enemy's fleet. For a moment, water splashed everywhere. But it was much more difficult to hit a fast-moving fleet than a city wall. Although it successfully destroyed a number of enemy ships, it was more of a shock effect than lethality.

The long music continued, but occasionally some musical notes would bounce.

The navy of the Republic of Liguria was not afraid of his face. They used the crossbows on the bow to fight back intermittently, but the bow was still facing forward, rushing towards the fleet of the Pirate Kingdom at full speed.

Ella was startled by the enemy's actions: "What are you doing? The fleet is obviously only one-quarter of ours, but it is so fiercely?"

"Your Majesty! Look at their bows with long horns! You want to rush over and sink us, right?"

"It's possible... the bow and arrow don't seem to work very well. It won't work if you get close to the catapult. Hurry up, let our ship straighten the hull and fight with the fire of the ocean. Go around the two wings and surround them!"

The flag commander tried hard to convey Aila's instructions with the flag. But firstly, the instructions were more complicated this time, and secondly, the pirates were busy shooting arrows, so the flag commander had to add his voice: "Facing the enemy head-on! Prepare to use the fire of the ocean! Surround the two wings!"

Such an order gradually passed through the wings through shouts. After a while, Ella's fleet struggled to push the bow back, and at this time, the fleet of the Republic of Liguria had rushed to their front!

"Wait a minute! The enemy doesn't seem to know that we have ocean fire yet, put more ships closer!"

However, Ella's order was too late to convey. Under the deterrence of the sharp and long horns, the pirates in the front of the ships used the ocean fire at the bow in panic. The rolling flames were spit out from the mouth of the snake head carved on the bow, burning the enemy's hull and the soldiers on the boat. For a moment, black smoke rose everywhere, and many people jumped into the sea under the burning flames.

But only four or five ships rushing in the front, and hundreds of ships behind slowed down after seeing this scene. In order to hit more enemies, the fleet of the Pirate Kingdom rushed towards them frantically.
