Chapter 673 Sudden Attack

Even as he was silently calculating in his mind, the atmosphere on the ship remained silent.

The pirates began to whisper to each other, and it was obvious that the doubts and anxieties in their hearts had reached a peak.

Although Shamrock's aura made it impossible for them to refute, no one dared to completely let down their guard.

However, Shamrock didn't care about these, and he didn't plan to waste too much time here.

His mission has never been to make these pirates feel at ease, but to make them understand that they can ultimately win the war only by relying on him and the powerful forces behind him.

He closed his eyes and refocused on the sea. The sea breeze whistled in his ears. There was silence all around him, with only the occasional cry of seagulls breaking the silence.

He knew that he could change the situation and get the pirate alliance out of trouble, but now, he couldn't do it.

He was waiting—waiting for the right moment, a moment when he could truly confront the new navy.

And that moment will come soon.

Shamrock ignored the pirates' worries and murmurs and stood silently at the bow, waiting for the dawn that would turn the entire battle situation around.

He knew that his trust was not wrong and that help would arrive soon.

......

Suddenly, a deafening explosion tore through the tranquility of the sea.

"boom!!"

The first shell hit the pirate coalition's position hard. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and the entire sea surface seemed to be torn apart.

Then, the second and third shots, continuous artillery fire poured down like a storm, and each shell was like a sharp blade that could destroy everything, hitting the pirate fleet accurately.

"Quick! Cover!"

A pirate shouted, with a flash of fear and panic in his eyes.

They originally thought that the new navy and the navy were still waiting for the opportunity, but they did not expect that this sudden attack caught them off guard. Amid the roar of artillery fire, the ships began to shake, and some small ships were directly blown to pieces under the violent impact.

The pirates' emotions immediately jumped out of the oppression and conspiracy just now, and everyone's face showed impatience and anxiety.

Some pirates suddenly became confused and wanted to fight back, but they lost the rhythm of the battle because they could not control the direction.

......

On a flagship far away from the battlefield, Jin An stood beside the command desk, holding a long whip in his hand. His expression was calm, but his eyes were scanning the battlefield as sharp as an eagle.

There was no panic in his eyes, only precise judgment and calm decision-making.

"As expected."

Jin An spoke lightly with a hint of smile in his tone. His words were not hurried, but every word was like a stone sinking into the sea, making people feel calm.

He turned around, with a strong fighting spirit on his face.

"This battle has just begun."

Following his orders, dozens of new navy ships quickly approached, pouring gunfire into the pirate fleet.

The cannon roared and shrapnel flew everywhere.

Those pirates had no idea that they would be the target of such a precise attack in just a few minutes.

"Remember, we are not simply attacking the enemy, but cutting off their retreat."

Jinan's voice was as cold as ice.

"Take their hopes with you and take them away bit by bit."

Amid the interweaving of artillery fire, Jinan's gaze never strayed.

He knew that the pirates who had just escaped had already revealed the movements of the new navy to the big pirates.

Their preparations were not impeccable, but that didn't mean he would give the other side any breathing space.

The pirates' original plan was disrupted in an instant.

The faces of the pirate leaders who were supposed to be waiting for reinforcements changed drastically. A pirate standing on the command platform waved his arms angrily.

"Damn it!

How dare these new navies fight back so quickly!

Everyone prepare to fight!"

However, the destructive power of the artillery fire far exceeded their imagination.

On the sea, the waves rolled and flames shot up into the sky. Several pirate ships were blown into pieces, and the sea water splashed everywhere. The splashing water and the flames of the explosion intertwined into a purgatory on earth.

"Quick, turn the gun around!"

Some pirate leaders hurriedly gave orders, but they soon discovered that their ship had been badly damaged, their combat effectiveness had been greatly weakened, and they were unable to fight back at all.

At the same time, several new naval ships were approaching with heavy weapons, and the soldiers on board were marching in an orderly manner, ready to rush into the battlefield.

Jin'an's plan gradually showed its power under his command - this was not just a simple offensive and defensive battle, but a complete strategic suppression, the purpose of which was to completely deprive the pirate coalition of its ability to resist.

"They thought I would give them time, but I saw through everything."

Jin An whispered to himself, the coldness in his eyes no longer concealed.

"Their chance is over."

"..."

The artillery fire gradually subsided, and the scene on the battlefield shocked everyone.

The vanguard of the pirate coalition had almost no chance of resisting, their fleet was blown to pieces by shells, several ships sank to the bottom of the sea, and a large number of corpses and wreckage floated on the sea.

In the dead silence, only the waves of the sea and a few undisguised groans echoed in the air.

However, Jinan and his new navy did not let down their guard.

Although the initial blow had caused great damage, he knew that the real showdown had not yet begun.

"Attack again."

Jin An said calmly, without any fluctuation in his voice.

His command was extremely concise, yet it carried a terrifying aura.

As his orders were given, more new navy soldiers were quickly mobilized, and the fleet was like a sharp sword, pointing directly at the heart of the pirates.

Jinan and his elite troops are ready to face the next wave of bloody fighting.

Faced with the sudden and fierce offensive of the New Navy, Shamrock's face changed instantly.

He instinctively gripped the mast tightly, his pupils contracted slightly, as if he was completely shocked by the sudden artillery fire.

"Damn it... He did the same thing when he attacked Marijoa!"

He cursed under his breath, his voice thick with anger and disdain.

That scene seemed to come back to his mind again - at that time, he witnessed with his own eyes the close coordination and precise strikes of the New Navy, which caused the entire World Government camp to suffer a huge setback.

And now, these new enemies seemed to be targeting him and these pirates as they rushed towards them fiercely.

But even though his heart was filled with anger, Shamrock did not hesitate for a moment.

A sneer flashed in his eyes, and then he turned around and gave orders to the pirates without hesitation, his voice deep and powerful:

"Retreat! Cover my retreat!"

He did not attack the new navy immediately, but quickly commanded on the ship and organized the pirates to evacuate the battlefield.

Although the lives of these pirates were worthless in his eyes, he understood that the existence of these pirates could facilitate some of his future plans.

Therefore, even if they are as ridiculous as clowns, we cannot let them die here.

"Hurry up, you bastards!"

He shouted coldly, his expression serious, his eyes revealing unquestionable majesty.
