Chapter 674 His Actions and Preparations
Then, Shamrock quickly took out several high-explosive gunpowder packs from the cabin and placed them accurately at several key locations on the side of the ship.
This was a backup plan he had prepared long ago - to buy the pirates time to retreat and to leave a way out for himself.
However, his expression never relaxed at all.
As the new navy's artillery fire came, the sea surface had become bloody and chaotic, and Shamrock knew that once the situation got out of control, the pirates might not be able to escape unscathed.
While he was preparing, he kept observing the movements of the new navy's fleet.
Obviously, their attack was very swift, with artillery fire exploding everywhere and the pirates' ships shaking in the powerful explosions.
What made Shamrock angry was that these pirates had no ability to cope with the situation at all and were completely thrown into disarray.
He took a deep breath, and an indescribable irritation and disgust rose in his heart - these idiots were actually being overwhelmed at such an important moment.
"These are the people..."
He clenched his teeth, a sneer appeared on his face.
"Without me, they wouldn't have had a chance of survival."
Just as he was about to take action, a pirate behind him ran over anxiously:
"Lord Shamrock, there are too many enemies. We can no longer fight back!"
Shamrock did not look back at the man, but said calmly:
"I know. Get out of here quickly. Take these rubbish and get away from me."
He waved his hand and asked the pirate to lead some pirates to retreat first, while he quietly stepped forward to prepare for the next conflict.
He quickly stepped onto the deck, his eyes as cold as a knife, and instantly locked onto the new navy ship that was firing at him.
At such an urgent moment, Shamrock did not panic. On the contrary, his movements were extremely quick and decisive, as if he had predicted all this.
He snapped his fingers and released a powerful airflow from his body, which suddenly lifted the canvas on the ship, forming a huge barrier that blocked some of the artillery fire.
"boom!"
The shells hit the hull, and the violent explosion caused a strong wind and splashed sea water.
Shamrock's face changed slightly, and he quickly drew the knife from his waist without hesitation. With great momentum, the blade cut through the air, forming a strong airflow.
The next moment, he suddenly jumped up and leaped directly towards the nearest new navy ship, landing on the deck in an instant.
As he landed, the air around him seemed to freeze instantly, and the enemy was stunned for a moment.
That figure, wearing black armor, had sharp eyes and a powerful aura that was enough to make any enemy feel oppressed.
"Damn it, fight back!"
A new navy soldier shouted.
However, Shamrock did not hesitate at all.
His figure was as swift as a ghost, and the blade cut through the air, fiercely cutting through the opponent's defense.
His strength was extremely powerful, and every strike of his was filled with murderous intent. Wherever the blade went, the enemy had almost no power to fight back.
In just a few seconds, several naval soldiers had been chopped down by him and fell on the deck in a bloody mess.
"Just in time."
Shamrock whispered to himself, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
He was fully prepared for the retreat and the subsequent attack.
Although the enemy in front of them is not a real threat, there is a strong organization and plan behind the new navy.
In order to avoid being completely defeated, he must end this as soon as possible.
But Shamrock did not fully engage in the battle. Instead, he quickly took advantage of the enemy's confusion, broke through the encirclement with a part of the pirates, and began to evacuate the battlefield.
This was his best tactic - to buy himself a chance to retreat before the enemy was fully prepared.
......
As Shamrock led the pirates gradually out of the danger zone, the situation on the battlefield continued to change rapidly.
The New Navy's attack did not slacken in the slightest, and artillery fire continued to bombard the surrounding areas, but with Shamrock's quick withdrawal, the pirate coalition suffered heavy losses but still retained some strength.
"This time, we can't let them have the chance to fight back."
"..."
Shamrock swore silently in his heart, his eyes became darker, and the sneer that never disappeared was always on his lips.
As the New Navy and the Pirate Alliance fought fiercely, while the members of the Alliance were desperately fleeing on the front battlefield, a more complicated battle was unfolding on other fronts.
The strategy planned by the World Government is quietly advancing with a clear goal - to attack the New Navy's transportation routes, destroy its supply lines, and weaken its war potential.
In the waters far away from the main battlefield, several stealth ships sailed silently towards the new navy's supply route.
These ships did not actively expose their positions, but successfully avoided detection by the new navy through clever camouflage and complex climatic conditions on the sea.
Although the weather should have been calm, the sea area was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, as if it was the foreshadowing of a storm.
Among them, the captain of a ship was sitting in the command cabin, his eyes fixed on the route ahead, with no expression on his face, just giving orders calmly.
"Five minutes to target, stay hidden."
The captain's voice was calm and powerful, as if the rapidly changing storms and conflicts on the sea had nothing to do with him.
The adjutant beside him also nodded, turned around and gave the order:
"All crew members are ready. Once you enter the attack range, immediately launch sabotage operations."
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the ship became solemn, and everyone's face was filled with concentration and tension.
The captain knew very well that this action not only affected the direction of the entire war, but also whether they could gain the initiative in this large-scale conflict.
After all, supplies were vital to this war, and disrupting the new navy's supply lines would put them in trouble, reducing the duration and difficulty of the battle.
As time passed, the captain confirmed the target again. There was a hint of nervousness in his eyes, but more of it was calmness and determination.
He pressed the communication button and spoke in a low voice:
"Prepare to enter attack range, all crew members, prepare for the enemy's counterattack."
......
At almost the same time, a new naval fleet on the other side was moving along a fixed route, loaded with food, weapons and ammunition.
A large number of new navy soldiers were busy sorting supplies and were completely unaware of the enemies lurking in the dark.
This route has always been the key to the new navy's supply line, and each shipment ensures the navy's continued combat capability.
However, they did not know at the moment that a hidden danger was approaching and the elite forces of the World Government had quietly entered the attack range.
"Target appears! Prepare to fire!"
The captain's voice sounded again, and then the marked target instantly appeared on the screen in the command cabin. His eyes flashed, and he instructed the adjutant to start the attack.
"boom--!"
Suddenly, a huge explosion sounded on the sea. A torpedo was quickly launched from the ship's sewer, breaking the silence on the sea and instantly hitting the front line of the new navy transport fleet in front.
"Alarm! Alarm!"
An emergency alarm suddenly sounded on the new navy transport ship, and the crew ran around in panic, with fear written all over their faces.
"Report, target hit!
The ship is damaged!"
The commander's voice was anxious, and the ship was shaking, almost out of control.
Although they tried their best to fight back, they were unprepared and had almost no ability to resist.
Another transport ship was also attacked at the same time.
A large number of shells streaked through the air, crashed into the sea, and hit the surface of the ships.
The hull shook violently in the explosion, and several turrets instantly lost their combat capability, almost capsizing in the waves.
“Keep attacking!
Don’t give them any chance to fight back!”
The captain ordered coldly, ordering his crew to continue the attack.
