Chapter 7 Preparing to Fight
“Eh?”
My guess made all the pirates in a row, and then suddenly all the pirates were in full bloom.
"No way?"
"How is that possible?"
"Who would have thought of that kind of thing?"
"But I was really unwilling to give up at that time!"
"It seems that I also had the idea of letting the fleet be destroyed for a moment!"
"It seems like I have done so, too."
“I have, too.”
“I have, too.”
...
After a long discussion, we finally came to the conclusion that when the Dreamer was sunk, all the pirates on the ship had thought that they could sink all the opponent's warships. So, this idea was concentrated, then mixed with resentment, and finally magnified. The direct result was that such an undead pirate ship appeared, and they had to constantly reincarnate in the scene of being sunk.
"It seems that this makes sense!" I sighed and said, "We have escaped with treasures this time. If it is just a general act of pirates, it will be considered successful. However, this cycle of reincarnation has not ended, which means that your last wish has not been completed. If you say this, your last wish may be really going to destroy that fleet!"
After I finished telling the above conclusion, the entire ship was quiet for a while, and then the captain was the first to react and suddenly fell to the ground, then shouted to the sky: "God, is it wrong to complain before dying?"
With the captain's voice, there were immediately a series of crying sounds on the ship, and almost all the pirates fell into despair. They either cried or made a fuss, but no one was normal anyway.
Looking at the chaotic pirate ship, I didn't bother them, but went to the cabin to find something to eat, then went back to the deck to lean on the side of the ship and enjoyed the scenery of the sea while eating dried fish. Speaking of which, the dried fish made by the pirates tasted really good. And because this is a time segment, not a real map, my attributes were also suspended. What does this mean? This means that no matter how much I eat, I won't feel bloated, so I can enjoy the delicious food with confidence. Moreover, there is another very important thing that is - the things on the boat are free.
"Hey, hey, we are all like this, do you still have the heart to eat?" A pirate was probably tired of crying. After stopping, he suddenly found that I was leaning leisurely on the side of the boat to eat, with one leg hanging out of the board, which was so comfortable. Because of the discomfort in my heart. Now, seeing me so leisurely, the pirate became angry immediately, but he had not lost his mind and rushed up to fight me. After all, my armor was not as simple as just looking good.
Speaking of which, the pirates on the ship and the people on the merchant ship I saw before, there seems to be no armor wearing armor, and neither side has any magic personnel. Even the pirates' fighting method is just basic fighting skills, and they have not seen any supernatural abilities at all. If it weren't for not seeing whether there were mages or other personnel in the fleet, I would have almost confirmed that this is a world without magic. Of course, it is easy to understand if there are no armor. After all, this is a naval battle. My Dragon Soul suit is a magic weapon, and you can ignore the weight, but if ordinary people wear metal armor, will you plan to change to divers once they fall into the water? So it is normal for people who don't wear armor on the ship to be.
Although wearing armor in the naval battle was stupid, the pirate at least knew that armor was still very useful before falling into the water. So although he was a little dissatisfied with me, he did not really lose his mind and rushed forward to attack.
Although his tone was not good, I was having a good time now and didn't bother him. Instead, I said lightly: "Do you have to cry like you? Can you sink your boats by yourself if you cry like this?"
The pirate, who was choked by my words, turned his face red and didn't expect to refute. In the end, he could only sit down like a deflated ball. However, the captain next to him noticed something wrong with me and asked, "President Zi Ri, have you thought of something? Even if you don't care about us, you are trapped here. Do you really don't mind at all? Or...?"
"What a joke?" I jumped back to the deck with one hand and said, "I don't have time to accompany you on the sea for the rest of my life. I just took advantage of your mood to eat something. If you have already vented, then let's discuss some serious matters. Regarding your last wish, let's complete it."
"Finish?" A sailor looked at me like a fool and asked back, "Are you sure you know what you said? We are going to sink the entire fleet! That's more than a thousand ships. Even if our Dreamer's cannons are twice as high as the speed is faster, we can only run away. It is impossible to defeat them!"
"It's impossible for you, but it doesn't mean it's impossible for me." I asked directly: "Do you want to fulfill your last wish?"
"Think." The pirate captain shouted out and asked, "But how do we complete it? You saw it too. We only have this ship, the invincible fleet we encountered. Not to mention that at least half of their warships are bigger than us, even if they are warships smaller than us, we will not be able to fight a thousand, right? Even if you have a way to turn my crew into a divine gunner who will hit every shot, it won't work!"
"Who said you wanted you to fight? Of course I know that one ship can't beat a thousand people, but have you forgotten my magic favor? Do you think a single dragon can beat a warship?"
"this……!"
"Okay, anyway, you can have infinite reincarnation. What are you afraid of when you die once? Let's try it out? Are you still afraid of if you die once?"
After I reminded him, the pirates also reacted. "Yes! What are we afraid of? At worst, we can die again. Anyway, we will die tens of thousands of times, so this time it is not bad!"
As this idea spread, the pirates who had just fallen into the trough became excited again, and one or two shouted that they were going back to find the Imperial Fleet to fight to the death. I reached out and calmed them down, and then said, "Okay, okay, stop quarrel. Now the first thing we need to do is to find the Imperial Fleet that we were thrown away."
When the pirate captain heard my words, he immediately said, "Why not that trouble? Sink directly, and when we sink to the bottom of the sea, we will reincarnate again, and then the fleet will appear on its own. No need to look for it."
I was stunned when I heard this. It seemed that this was true. But after all, I am not a dead person. How could I treat death as a common casual dress like them?
With the captain's order, several pirates on the ship immediately ran under the cabin to ignite the powder barrel used to fire cannons on their ship. Then there was a bang. The battleship split into pieces and then sank quickly. The lie was bound by a sudden black smoke and sank into the sea bottom with the battleship. I guess the black fog was the kind mentioned by Wiki and the others before that would make the players who sank the ship automatically return to the ship and sink to the sea bottom together. However, this kind of death in reincarnation would not cause the player to die, but the scene would only be reset once. It had no effect on the player itself, so I did not resist and just waited to reset the time after sinking the bottom.
Originally, it would take a lot of time to sink a ship to the bottom of the sea in the deep sea area. However, because this scene is similar to a human dream, many things cannot be understood according to normal concepts. At least our ship sank to the bottom of the sea in less than ten minutes. This speed is absolutely impossible in reality.
The warship that sunk to the bottom of the sea did not return to the sea immediately, but took more than ten minutes to transform from a new ship into a broken wreck covered with mud and sand after it was reset to the sea again.
The process of resetting the environment is the same as when I first got on the boat. With my feet as the center, a circle of halos rippled, and then everything returned to the time when the robbery just started. The difference is that the pirates all recognized me this time. Obviously, their memories will not be reset with the environment.
"President Zi Ri. Do we still have to take a screenshot of the ship now?" Because we can only count on me in the next battle, the pirates now treat me as a savior. The pirate captain carefully asked me if I would continue to rob. After all, if I want to engage in a naval battle, it would be better not to put things on the ship, otherwise the cargo would mutate the hull, and the steering would be affected to a certain extent.
Although these things need to be considered in normal times, I didn't plan to expect this ship to kill an opponent's fleet, so I did not ask them to stop robbing because I was worried that if they didn't rob, it would affect the mission judgment.
"You guys continue. Since you want to fulfill your last wish, you must first rob the things and then deal with the battleships opposite. Otherwise, going back empty-handed would not mean that you did not complete the robbery? What if you still fail to fulfill your last wish?"
The captain felt right when he heard this, so he continued to give instructions. The pirates below immediately began to get busy and began to carry supplies desperately.
While the pirates were busy with their time, I asked the pirate captain who had been by my side: "Where is your gun position? Take me to see."
"Please come with me." Because they could rest completely, they all counted on me, so now the pirate captain is almost my younger brother, following me with a respectful attitude, and he is whatever I say.
Under the leadership of the captain, we quickly arrived at the cannon cabin. In fact, the cannon cabin is not a normal cabin level. Except for the normal floor height of the first floor running cabin, the second and third floors below are all half cabins, which is only 1.5 meters high. Everyone has to bend down inside, otherwise they will hit the partition above their heads. The reason why the cannon cabin is so short is mainly to make the cannon cabin slightly higher. After all, the sailboat is not a modern ship, and its ability to resist sinking is not good, and the opening of the running door cannot be completely closed, so it can only block the rain and ordinary seas.
Waves, once the ship encounters a storm, these gun doors will enter water. Moreover, because the sailboat has tall masts and sails, the upper layer is under obvious stress. When the cross wind is strong, the hull will tilt very heavily. At this time, the gun door shooting port that cannot be completely sealed will enter water, and the relatively high gun door position can avoid such a thing. Therefore, in order to ensure that the gun position is high enough, the deck layer can only be made very low, so that more layers of gun positions can be concentrated on the upper part of the hull as much as possible to improve the overall waterproof performance of the ship.
Under the leadership of the captain, I circled around the cabin again, and then found that the ship's three-layer artillery deck had only eighteen artillery pieces on each floor, and they were scattered on both sides. In other words, there were only nine cannons on one side of each floor, and only twenty-seven cannons on the three-layer artillery deck. Including the seven small-caliber artillery on the open-air deck and three shotguns on the mast, the ship's one-side firepower output was actually only thirty-seven cannons.
Many people may think that this number is already quite large compared to modern warships, but you should know how accurate the artillery aiming system of modern warships is and how powerful it is. The single shot power of modern warships can blow this wooden shell warship into a pile of wood pieces, and the hit rate can reach more than 30%, and the subsequent vitality can reach a hit rate between 37% and 70%. However, that is a modern warship, the maximum range of artillery of this large sailing ship is only three thousand meters, and it can actually aim consciously.
The shooting distance is only about 1,100 meters, and even if it is far, it can only be based on luck. As for the power of the hit, don't think about it. The pirates' cannons fired solid bullets, which are just big iron balls. The only way to destroy them is to smash holes from the opponent's warship. Fortunately, the wooden shell warship is not hard enough, otherwise if this kind of cannon hits a modern warship, it will not cause any damage to the iron-armed warship with cannons and bayonets on it. Of course, it may be possible to remove a layer of paint, but you won't expect anything else.
"captain."
“Here.”
"Is this the only thing your cannon?"
The captain nodded and said, "This is already the best cannon, with a range of three thousand meters, which is more upscale than the Imperial Navy. This is the embargo weapon I got with a lot of money!"
I shook my head helplessly and said, "It seems that I can't count on you to protect yourself!"
"Eh? What does it mean?"
I said to the captain directly: "I originally wanted to go out to deal with those fleets by myself, and then let you persevere for a while. As long as I can hold on until I kill those warships, it will be done. But judging from your firepower, I guess you will be demolished by them before I can remove those ships!"
"What should I do?"!~!
