Chapter 1860 Battle of the North Sea (6)
"Get on the boat, get on the boat quickly and get out of here!"
The captain was extremely anxious and kept urging the crew.
His voice echoed in the silent night with an irresistible majesty.
Seeing how anxious the captain was, the pirates did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
They knew the captain's character very well. He was a man of his word. If anyone dared to disobey his orders, they would have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
As a result, dozens of pirates boarded the ship quickly like frightened birds, and their speed was astonishing.
The sails were raised in the shortest time possible, and the boat slowly sailed away from the shore, away from the strange sound.
The captain quickly climbed to the highest point of the ship, stood on the observation deck, and nervously observed the situation in the doldrums with a telescope in hand.
His heart beat faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.
However, when he saw the scene in the doldrums through the telescope, he was stunned.
What a sight it was! His eyes were wide open, his face was filled with astonishment, and his mouth was wide open enough to fit an egg.
Looking through the telescope, the captain's eyes were attracted by the scene in the distance.
He saw rows of dark shadows, like a black line stretching across the distant horizon. These shadows were blurry at first, but as time went on, they gradually revealed their true appearance.
Those were the flags of the Rockefeller Kingdom, fluttering in the wind.
The strong winds caused by the fast-moving warships made these flags fly high, as if showing their majesty to the world.
In the captain's eyes, the rows of flags seemed to have no end and stretched as far as the eye could see.
When the flag was fully displayed before their eyes, warships flying the flag also emerged.
These warships were arranged neatly, forming a shocking sight.
The captain was surprised to find that the rows of black shadows were actually fully armed warships, and they were all giant steel ships!
Pirates usually only see this kind of giant ship in the navy.
Moreover, as far as the captain knew, only the fleet of the Governor of the North Sea possessed a ship of this size and power.
At this moment, in his telescope, these huge ships that were once elusive were far fewer than he had imagined.
The captain stared at the scene in disbelief with his eyes wide open.
He originally thought that there were only a handful of such giant ships in the entire North Sea, but now it seems that there are far more than that.
The number of these giant ships was beyond his comprehension. At a glance, there was no end in sight.
With a snap, the crisp sound echoed on the silent sea.
The telescope in the captain's hand seemed to have lost its support and fell straight down, making a dull sound when it hit the deck.
His body seemed to be frozen, still maintaining the same posture as when he picked up the telescope, motionless.
His throat seemed to be blocked by something, and it was so dry that he could hardly make a sound.
His eyes were a little dazed, and the look that should have been full of majesty and determination now became empty and confused.
The sound line was also trembling slightly, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.
"What kind of monster is this!"
The captain finally managed to squeeze out a few words with difficulty, but these words seemed to be torn apart by fear, and they were intermittent, completely losing his usual calmness and decisiveness.
He has always been an experienced captain active in the North Sea and has seen countless storms and challenges.
But at this moment, he felt like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world and was completely unable to understand what he was seeing.
Woohoo~!
At this moment, a long and low whistle suddenly sounded, breaking the tranquility of the sea.
The voice echoed in the air, carrying an oppressive force that could not be ignored.
The captain snapped back to his senses and looked in the direction of the sound.
On the distant sea level, huge warships were seen breaking through the waves, like a group of steel behemoths, majestic and powerful.
There are a large number of these warships, more than 300 in total, and at a glance, there is almost no end in sight.
Their hulls were illuminated by the sunlight, shining brightly with a heart-pounding cold light.
The black muzzles were like the eyes of ferocious beasts, deep and terrifying, as if they could spew out deadly flames at any time.
The size of those cannon muzzles is beyond imagination, as big as a person's head, which is chilling.
"Warships!"
The pirates on the pirate ship also saw this scene, and their exclamations came one after another.
Faced with so many warships, these pirates who usually run rampant on the sea now stood there in a daze, completely losing their ability to react.
Farther away, an intelligence officer was standing in front of a display screen, quickly reporting the situation to Esdeath: "Admiral, a pirate ship has been spotted ahead. Judging by the flag, it's the Chris Pirates, who have been entrenched in the North Sea for many years!"
"Kill him, and don't let him spread the news!"
Esdeath's eyes were as cold as ice, and she spoke without any emotion, as if the person in front of her was just an insignificant ant.
After hearing the order, the operator did not hesitate at all and immediately issued instructions to the captains of each ship through the communication equipment: "Pirates have been spotted ahead, the target is clear, take action immediately, eliminate them, and clear the way!"
As the order was conveyed, the front-line warships responded quickly.
The gun barrels adjusted their directions and aimed at the lonely pirate ship in the distance.
The machine made a clattering sound, as if making final preparations for the upcoming attack.
"Fire!"
The captain gave the order decisively.
In an instant, hundreds of cannons on the five warships in the front row spewed out flames at the same time, and shells rained down on the pirate ship.
The rumbling sound of the artillery was deafening, as if the whole world was shaking.
The shells whizzed through the air, carrying endless power, covering the pirate ship like a blanket.
The pirate captain standing on the observation deck was still immersed in his own world, completely unaware of the impending danger.
When the deafening sound of artillery fire and whistling shells reached his ears, he finally woke up from his dream.
"Enemy attack!"
The captain's voice became hysterical with fear and echoed across the sea.
It's too late.
The next second, hundreds of shells rained down on the pirate ship, instantly causing a huge explosion.
Flames shot up into the sky, engulfing the entire ship in blazing flames.
The flames were blazing like a ferocious beast, devouring everything with its fangs and claws.
In an instant, the sea water seemed to be enraged, splashing dozens of meters high, forming a spectacular water curtain.
