Chapter 22 Traces of Myth
But now their fleet has been completely opened, and even if they want to go over to reinforce, it is not that easy. They can only try their best to slogans and let the cowards come back and kill this monster.
Seeing this scene from afar, Master Wen had to whistle. I didn’t expect that David Jones, the little octopus, is still quite powerful!
"This is……"
The Duke of Bekent's eyes were almost bulging and he shouted, "This is the giant demon in the North Sea..."
He suddenly remembered a legend, in the legend, there was a mysterious ghost pirate ship cruising in the Caribbean Sea or other seas.
The ship often floats under the water, with its mottled hull covered with seaweed, and begins to attack other ships. Any ship that encounters this ghost ship will disappear from this world.
According to legend, this terrible ghost ship often has a huge North Sea monster following him.
"Can't it be... the flying Dutchman is also in Wen Fei's team?" Duke Bekent thought in shock.
However, before he could find an opportunity to ask Master Wen, he saw a sudden explosion on the sea surface. In the splashes, there was an ancient ship that seemed to have sunk on the seabed for countless years, so that the ship covered with seaweed shells and other attachments jumped out of the sea.
The ghost ship appeared in front of the British Navy's flagship, the Courage, almost in a magical manner, and then used his triple-mounted bow cannons with different layouts from all ships to bombard them one by one.
Because of the close distance, the Courage and the ships around it were not at all prepared. Allowed the projectiles to bombard the hull, the wood was broken and flew away for a moment.
The Courage was stunned at the first time, and when they woke up and wanted to fight back, the ghost ship had disappeared from the sea.
"Hell, hell!" The captain of the courage shouted angrily: "How could there be really this ghost ship? Find him out for me and blow it off..."
However, a panicked voice rang in his ear: "Captain is not good, no. A big hole was blasted out of the water line near our hull, and the sea water has been poured!"
"What?" The captain was shocked. The Dutchman, who had just flew, bombarded more than a dozen cannons, but did not leave too many traces on his ship.
This gave the captain an illusion that the cannons on the ghost ship were too weak to be able to blow away the thick wooden boards on his hull.
But the news came, which made him feel cold. He didn't care about his reserve. The captain ran to the side of the ship quickly and saw that the hull was close to the waterline. As expected, several large holes that could penetrate into the shark were blown open. The sea water was turning into the holes.
"Damn it, fortunately I designed the water compartment on this boat, God bless..."
He made a cross on his chest, which was a new technology learned from the East. That is, his latest first-class battleship began to adopt this technology. Otherwise, it would be a disaster today!
However, before his voice fell, the sailor's panicked voice came again: "No, no, the ghost ship appeared again. This time behind me..."
The captain's face had no time to change, and he felt a few more vibrations on the hull.
He was already quite familiar with this vibration. But he didn't care about it just now, and now his heart suddenly turned to the soles of his feet.
Damn it! Even if there is a water compartment, as long as people get a few more holes, they will still sink.
Why is this ghost ship there? The captain's heart was so upset.
It's simply ridiculous. Ordinary ships can only bombard the upper layer of the ship. However, this ghost ship can semi-lurk in the sea and specifically attack the waterlines of the ship.
God, this is really bad!
In fact, David Jones has just learned this method from the torpedo attack mode.
Perhaps it takes hundreds of cannons to completely sank a large ship.
However, under the attack, as long as a big hole is opened, the sea water can be poured into it.
Although the flying Dutchman cannot attack the waterline, the shells will become useless in the face of the resistance of the seawater. However, they can attack near the waterline, and any larger wave can bring seawater into it.
In short, when the flying Dutchman once again sneaked into the sea, the Courage had completely lost its ability to move, and the sailors above were panicing and scooping water outwards. However, the Courage was still slowly and firmly sinking.
In just a few minutes, the joint fleet had lost three ships, one of which was the first-class battleship, the Courage, the flagship of the British army.
This ship has 180 artillery guns on it, and its power is even greater than the three Zhenyuan ships captured by Wen Da Tianshi.
But even such a big ship with amazing combat power was beaten to sink without any fighting power. No one expected this ship!
However, even so, the joint fleet is still so huge that it brings unlimited pressure to people in terms of quantity.
But at this time, Master Wen laughed instead, and he could feel the change in pressure.
The huge pressure that I felt at all times since I put this gold on the ship was constantly weakening.
When he arrived at the waters of Summers Island, he was completely weakened to the extreme, which gave Master Wen a chance to turn defense and attack, and drove out the divine power of light in one fell swoop, and reshaped his body again without breaking or establishing it.
Now Master Wen’s cultivation has entered a new realm in one fell swoop. His body and purple palace are completely united.
The next moment, Master Wen had already drawn a sword in the sky, and the sword light illuminated the sky.
He heard countless shouts of killing, and countless warships rushed out of many distant islands. Each of them was rushing out from all directions with pirate flags hanging high.
"Counterattack, counterattack. Throw all the torpedoes for me!" Master Wen Datian gave the order.
You're welcome to launch the remaining torpedoes one by one.
But looking at the pirate ships rushing from all directions, the joint fleet that suffered defeats gathered together unconsciously. This means that the torpedo can exert its maximum power.
"Boom..."
As white lines hit the unlucky warships, they turned into fireballs and flew into the sky. The joint fleet was completely panicked.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of warships, without them understanding the slightest reason, exploded inexplicably and turned into fireballs.
Such a scene was very deadly. Perhaps only forty or fifty ships were destroyed by torpedoes, but they only accounted for one-tenth of the joint fleet.
But when faced with such an inexplicable scene, they were already full of fear. They even suspected that God had abandoned them, otherwise why would he let the devil's flames swallow them one by one?
Facing the encirclement of pirate ships from all directions, these warships began to flee.
Perhaps a smarter guy looks at these messy and uneven pirate ships, and they will feel that they shouldn't have brought all the ships closer.
Although hundreds of pirate ships rushed out from all directions, it looked quite intimidating, but carefully, whether it was combat power or quantity,
Suddenly, the forgotten giant demon of the North Sea, who had just been almost in chaos, rushed out again, waved his tentacles, entangled the unlucky sailors on the deck, and even swept them directly into the sea.
At this time, Master Wen seemed to be watching all this leisurely and did not do it himself. The overall situation has been decided, and now it depends on how many warships can be left in the end.
There are so many traces of myths in this world, and these Caribbean pirates all have traces of ancient Greek or Nordic myths.
For example, the squid or octopus in front of you is the famous sea monster in Norse mythology that is free from the sea offshore of Norway and Iceland.
The other Coreybusso was originally an unlucky female sea god in ancient Greece, and the magic sword with magic power and controllable ropes on the ship in Blackbeard's hand was called the Sword of Terryton.
Terryton is the son of Poseidon, the sea god in ancient Greek mythology.
It seems that this era is the era where myth remains. It is the era where myth remains, but the power of humanity has begun to slowly gain the upper hand.
It's so interesting! Master Wen touched his chin and thought.
"Chase, chase. Kill all these ships as much as possible!" Duke Bekent's voice kept echoing on the Zhenyuan.
This made Master Wen laugh at him. Some people may say that human nature will be fully revealed here. However, Master Wen’s opinion is a truly wise choice.
The Duke of Beckent was able to understand this and seek the greatest benefit for his country. That is, I am dead and cannot let you live. It is indeed a sign of responsibility.
After all, no matter how awesome the Master Wen is, he will never have any war with Europe in a short period of time. On the contrary, the countries in the joint fleet are basically their enemies or competitors!
The tragic battle of the platoon began. In this world, with fierce firepower, the enemy's ships were directly destroyed. Most of the time, it was just a beautiful dream.
Originally, the hit rate of smoothbore cannons in this world was already miserable enough. In addition, if you want to destroy a ship with a solid iron ball, you may need hundreds of shells.
In addition to Master Wen Da Tian has such abnormal firepower, other ships wanting to destroy warships with artillery is like a joke. (To be continued...)
