Chapter 4 Its a pirate! (9)

"Seven Hills Empire." Andrea said to himself. His eyes became confused, as if he had fallen into a long dream.

He was born in the City of Seven Hills and was a descendant of an ancient family in Liguria. Liguria was originally an autonomous municipality of the Seven Hills Empire, but when he was born, the land had been occupied by the Almani Federation for a long time.

When he was thirty years old, Liguria broke out in an uprising against the Almani Federation. He commanded the navy and won countless victories for the Ligurian people, laying the foundation for the birth of the Ligurian Republic.

After the Republic of Liguria declared its independence, it sought assistance from the Qiqiu Empire for its own safety and became a vassal state of the Qiqiu Empire in name. Andrea finally got his wish and became a native of the Qiqiu Empire.

After the long-cherished wish was fulfilled, Andrea thought that his life had been fulfilled without regrets. However, as time went by, many Ligurians, including Andrea, discovered that the Seven Hills Empire they were thinking about was just an illusion that had disappeared in history. The country named "Seven Hills Empire" now has not only lost its previous glory, but also lost its previous energy. Their army is vulnerable, their civilization is stagnant, and their minds are no longer as vast as the Mediterranean.

Andrea thought more than once: Maybe the spirit of the Seven Hills Empire has died? What remains now is just a corpse waiting to be decayed?

And every time, he would slap himself in the face if he thought so.

...

...

"What's the panic?"

Andrea stood calmly on the deck.

"You should pay attention to the sea surface. These fires cannot burn on the sea surface. This is not the fire of the ocean, but just a clumsy imitation of the fire of the ocean. What role can ordinary fire play in the ocean so wide? The third song will teach these clowns who imitate each other a lesson!"

Several soldiers who played exchanged their eyes. The style of the music suddenly changed, becoming light and lively. The soldiers of the Ligurian Republic who noticed the change in music instantly reacted and deflected the bow of the ship and dispersed to the left and right sides.

"Don't let them run out of our wings! That way, they will be like puppies!" Ella shouted, "Both wings are surrounded by me! Block them!"

The ships of the Pirate Kingdom were originally following this plan, but they didn't take much time to react. Seeing the Pirate Kingdom approaching from both wings, the Ligurian Republic's ship route gradually changed from the front to the side and the rear to the side... Unexpectedly, just as the range of the ocean fire was about to enter the range of the sea fire, the Ligurian Republic's navy suddenly made a clever turn. The navy on the left turned from the back to the right, and the navy on the right turned from the back to the left, taking advantage of the opportunity when the Pirate Kingdom adjusted the bow, it broke into pieces and inserted the gap between the ships of the Pirate Kingdom!

Such bold actions scared all the soldiers of the pirate kingdom. Before they made an effective response, the fleet of the Republic of Liguria had quickly passed through rows of enemy ships.

The ships behind the Pirate Kingdom wanted to stop their advancement, but their skills in controlling the ships and responding at the station were far inferior to those of the Republic of Liguria. Not only did they fail to successfully block the Liguria fleet, but they bumped into their own ships one after another.

In a blink of an eye, the Republic of Liguria rushed to the rear of the entire fleet of the Pirate Kingdom.

The only ones equipped with ocean fire in the Pirate Kingdom's fleet were more than 100 ships in the front row, and the only weapons that nearly 500 ships in the rear could be used for naval battles were crossbows and bows.

The music changed back to its previous surging appearance! The navy of the Republic of Liguria shouted loudly, as if he had captured the victory in his hands!

Ella panicked: "Hurry! Turn the direction of the fleet quickly!"

However, before Ella's order was conveyed to each ship, the Navy of the Republic of Liguria had quickly completed the turn of its head. Inspired by the music, hundreds of pointed and long horns suddenly came towards the unprepared side and rear of the pirate kingdom!

"Treating ships as fortresses and naval battles as attacks is a typical land war thinking. Ships are not simple fortresses. To survive on the sea, they must turn into fish, water, and wind!"

Andrea stood on the boat and shook his head slowly.

"Get out, Pirate Kingdom, this sea belongs to the Seven Hills Empire, and there is no place for you to live in."

Heavy and dull sounds sounded one after another on the battlefield. With the help of the ship's speed, the navy of the Republic of Liguria stabbed the horn into the tail or side of the enemy ship. The pirate kingdom ships hit by the impact of the horn were all fatal injuries.

The ships in the Pirate Kingdom were generally lighter. Although the structure was destroyed, the powerful buoyancy prevented them from sinking immediately. However, the navy of the Republic of Liguria did not give the Pirate Kingdom any time to react. As soon as the corner of the collision was penetrated into the enemy ship, the oarsman immediately rowed the ship backward, causing the enemy ship to tilt under the drag of the collision. So, a tragedy occurred. The sea water ruthlessly poured into the hull from the opening, pressing the ship into the deep sea at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Punching in and pulling out, the seamen of the Republic of Liguria trained this action thousands of times. They were professional navy, and on the sea, the ships were their square formations, and the impact was their spears.

The pirates on the attacked ships jumped into the water in panic and sought rescue from nearby friendly hulls. This further increased the chaos in the Pirate Kingdom fleet. The sailors of the Republic of Liguria controlled the ships and repeated the same movements over and over again, destroying the pirate Kingdom ships in a destructive manner.

Under this round of offensive, at least one hundred ships from the pirate kingdom sank into the water.

"King of Sweden! Our army is going to be defeated!"

The pirates on the "Flying Zealand" looked back at Ella in panic. But when they found Ella standing calmly on the deck, they immediately calmed down as if they had a calm mind.

"What's the matter?" Ella said, "Let the archers all aim at the place where they are fighting and shoot the formation corner! Cascading planes will shoot stone bombs at the most densely populated places of the enemy ship!"

"Take? King of Sweden, our ship is now entangled with each other..."

"This is near the sea, and the coast is opposite. Even if we hit our own ship, we can swim back! But if the other party is not allowed to retreat, the lost ship will immediately double!"

The "Flying Zelamite" reacted, and six counterweight throwing machines began to shoot stone bombs at the densest places of the enemy ship. The powerful stone bomb fell from the air, frightening the navy of the Republic of Liguria. A stone bomb destroyed the mast of an enemy ship and hit the side of another enemy ship. The wooden hull could not resist the power of the counterweight throwing machine designed to conquer the huge city wall. The entire ship was pushed horizontally under a huge impact, and then poured into the water.

Recognizing that the pirate kingdom had begun to fight back, the navy of the Republic of Liguria began to disperse to both sides, preparing for the next wave of attack.
