The shining golden light on the sea was shattered by the clutch, and the praying Siren separated the waves and led the Fast-tooth Shark to set sail straight in.

Behind it, following the Indian Ocean Pirates Alliance, a formation gathered a variety of ships: a towering stern and three mainmasts, a slender and flexible Arab ship with oblique spinnakers; a square-headed and pointed bottom, a Ming-style ship with folded and balanced sails, and a Japanese Moyoshi ship with a combination of Chinese and Western styles, but the bow is Yamato, and even two ancient Calais-style galleys are among them.

"It's about to enter the range. The gunner team is in place!" William sent a signal to the ship behind him, "We have to leave the Portuguese fleet here!"

"Long live the free country!"

The pirates shouted in different languages, and their muzzles were aimed at the same target.

The continuous sound of artillery fire exploded on the sea, and the two sides had begun to exchange fire.

Two old galleys performed extremely bravely. They came from the distant Aegean Sea, the Minotaurus led by Captain Leonidas and the Sphinx led by his brother Captain Menkshines.

They are real old captains, both of them are nearly 70 years old, and even the sailors on their respective boats are all gray-bearded.

Even so, they are still brave Greek pirates.

Sailboats are the product of naval battles in the old era and are now gradually being replaced by sailboats. However, these two old-fashioned warships show extraordinary combat power in the hands of a group of old guys.

Their ancestors drove such ancient warships on the Mediterranean thousands of years ago against the Egyptians, Phoenicians and Persians, and their glorious figures were found in famous naval battles in history.

The old captains fully utilized the advantages of the flexible maneuver of the galleys, bypassed the fierce sidewalk of the Portuguese fleet, and inserted it diagonally to the stern of the enemy's ship with the weakest defense. They used four 50-pound heavy cannons loaded on their bow to carry out heavy blows on the enemy ship.

Immediately afterwards, they used the angular rushing tactics passed down by their ancestors, and used their full horsepower to hit the stern of the Portuguese warship. They successfully blocked the opponent's tail rudder by relying on the bow angle, leaving the enemy ship unable to move.

The Portuguese were still panicking, and the white-bearded and white-haired old pirates had already jumped with two axes in hand to board the ship to show their hand-to-hand combat posture, and captured the entire ship without any effort.

With this fierce and brave heroic spirit, the two captains seized three warships in one breath.

The galleys made the rushing interference, and the sailing boats were roundabout and provided fire support, which made the Royal Navy very anxious for a moment.

"Diu was severely injured!"

"The Goa deck caught fire!"

"The Sierra Leone is sinking!"

Battle reports one after another, and running commanders filled the passages to go up and down the stern building.

The stalemate situation made it impossible to chase the gallows. Without dealing with the troubles on their butts, they would never be able to leave.

Commander Pedro knew he had no choice: "Stop pursuing the gallows. The front team turned around and the whole army fought against the pirate regiment." Once the counterattack began, he did not intend to leave any opportunity for the other party, "ordered the cruise ships to divide the enemy's fronts and rounded up their galleys. The main battleships lined up and prepared for shelling!"

The Royal Navy operated rapidly like a starting mechanism, with warships of all sizes and sizes taking their positions, completing the blockade of important positions on the sea surface.

The Sphinx was surrounded by cruise ships, bombarded by artillery on the side, and lost 50% of the starboard oars, and most of the paddlers were injured.

Fortunately, Japanese captain Tobukie Kono arrived in time by driving his Tsubasa Maru, covering the Sphinx out of the encirclement and retreating into his own front.

The pirates' pressure to face a sudden increase in the enemy's offensive pressure doubled, and the number of casualties in a short period of time doubled compared to before.

The Saladin completely lost its combat capability, and the crew on board moved to the nearby Shengfulong and Naga; William's own Fast-tooth Shark was also hit by a red iron bomb, and smoke and fire broke out from his tail.

"Play the flag and let the guys hold on for a while. Tell Captain Leonidas to prepare," William saw the sun sinking into the sea level, and he already felt the cold wind blowing close to the ocean, "the ocean currents and wind direction are about to change!"

The Royal Navy's artillery advantage obviously overwhelmed the pirates' firepower and the situation on the battlefield changed instantly.

The Pirate Ship Front began to retreat to avoid the attack of the large fireboats.

Pedro's golden finger hit the ship's side, paying attention to the enemy's retreat direction carefully: "Chasing. This time, be sure to destroy all the opponent's resistance forces!"

The warships received orders to fill their sails one after another, chasing the defeated prey in front of them. They once caught the distance within the range of the cannon, but were soon thrown away by the pirates skillfully.

Especially the old antique Greek galley, which always rushes around the edge of the firepower coverage area, causing smoke from the captains of the Royal Navy.

The brigade of Portuguese warships were carried around the sea by the Minotaoños, and gradually they found that their speed was getting slower and slower.

The sailors keenly captured the change in the wind direction, but did not notice that the sea surface where they were located was gradually rising - a huge vortex raised, and the sea water around them was rotating rapidly to continue to rise.

This is not an ordinary sea vortex. Its spiral does not fall downwards, but is as high as a hill above the sea level, and in a blink of an eye it rises to a terrible height of nearly ten meters.

This is a mountain-shaped vortex unique to the Horn of Africa, and William's tracking of it has been for five years.

Captain Leonidas, who had already received the warning, seized the opportunity and directed the Minotaoños to the edge of the still growing vortex in time.

The professional paddlers on the ship have fought against countless stormy waves in their lives, and at this moment they even burst out with twelve points of potential, striving against the current at a speed of more than six and a half knots, desperately rushing out of the vortex-sucking sea area.

The Portuguese Navy, which was thrown by a sailboat, did not have such good luck.

They lost the most important wind power, were trapped at the top of the vortex and had no choice but to try to keep the ship from capsizing in the terrifying current.

To make matters worse, the rotating waves were constantly hitting the sidewalk, pouring a huge amount of sea water into the inner cabin through the lower muzzle.

It was only a matter of time before the sinking. The Royal Navy fleet fell into great chaos under the sudden changing sea conditions.

The fleet formation that bypassed the dangerous seas was also cut and dispersed, and no longer able to launch a collective attack.

"This battle was done beautifully." Captain Leonidas, who had just escaped from danger, slapped the flag to the Fast-tooth Shark.

William sighed and shook his head: "It's a pity that I didn't put the gallows in."

He looked at the vast seas in the north, where the hidden direction of the childhood names who had not participated in the war.

"Then it's up to them."
