Chapter 172

Suddenly "iron William" looked up at the sky.

Today, there is already some overcast sky, now there is a continuous accumulation of clouds, gradually pressing down to the sea, and the sky is becoming more and more gloomy.

At the same time, a few black lightning like pintail swifts flash away from the pirate ship like a cloud.

"It's going to rain! But the rain should not be very heavy. Lower the sails and anchor. Pay attention to the investigation. Let's wait here.

It's just for a play. There's no need to beat around the bush with the Navy. "

"Yes, Captain!" The young man took the order to go, and soon heard the sound of the ship's thieves pulling the rigging.

Soon, along with the "iron bone", the "two tailed fish" also received the flag signal, and the pirates who controlled the merchant ship also made the same action.

At this time, they can't imagine.

His every move has fallen into someone's eyes, and the unexpected naval ship unexpectedly arrived so soon!

Dangdangdang -

the alarm bell rings.

"Sir, we have the target!"

The watchman on the mast put away the brass telescope, slipped down the mast like a monkey, and ran to Elvin.

Evan, who is "keeping his eyes closed", opens his eyes. In fact, the birds in Shanghai have already sent back the information of the other ship.

Although on the sea with fine weather, the lookout with good eyesight can see dozens of kilometers away, but it can only see, and the details can't be distinguished at all.

With the improvement of their own ability, the scope of seabirds' investigation has been expanded, and a three-dimensional investigation network has been built. The scenery dozens of kilometers away is also like the delicate lines in Elvin's eyes.

It's not luck that her "conch" can catch up with the pirate ship in only one day without the "black hand" providing information from the sea area where the "two tailed fish" happened.

However, these words can not be said to the crew for the time being. Elvin nodded to the watchman and encouraged him, "well done!"

Shaking his cloak, Elvin stepped up to the command post and issued a command in a loud voice:

"first level combat readiness! Cut into the upper hand, open the muzzle, let's give the pirates a hot dish to taste! "

In a naval battle, the direction of gaining the upper hand or the direction of gaining the lower hand has its own advantages and disadvantages.

At least for the "conch", there is only one gun deck, so there is no need to worry that it can't open the lower muzzle because of water, and the gun has a longer range and greater advantage when it is windward!

Bang.. Bang.. bang.

the left side fender is opened.

The sailors dragged 5000 pound shipborne guns with pulleys, loaded with gunpowder and solid iron shells, and then pushed them out of the muzzle for firing.

The "conch" slowly adjusted its fighting posture and aimed its sideboard at the distant sea. It also found that the "conch" had sailed again.

Ivan looks at the dark clouds in the sky and the raindrops that have gradually dropped. He releases his hand from the ocean treasure "misty silver lamp" in his arms. It's unreasonable for white fog to appear in heavy rain.

Their task is very simple, take back the "two tail fish" can, there is no need to follow the Viscount's ideas and pirates desperately. After all, as long as the material evidence is lost and not directly stolen by the official, the Viscount's crisis will be relieved.

After today, who will believe what pirates say?

What's more, there is a very interesting guy on the target of this mission.

Previously, there was no information about the identity of the pirate ship in the information sent back by the "two tailed fish", and Elvin was just trying to train.

Now when I saw the pirate ship with my own eyes, I found that it was such a famous guy who hijacked the "two tailed fish"!

"William the iron bone?"

There is no cover in the sea, especially when Elvin didn't use the "fog silver lamp" to arouse the fog, the "iron bone" has already found the navy warship with a fierce breach!

"Captain, shall we fire?"

It was very difficult to sneak attack on the sea. Before the two sides entered the gun range, the young man standing behind Captain William asked softly.

"The price offered by the fat pig in weskol city is not enough. Let's work hard for him and just throw the" two tailed fish "to the Navy. Our task has been completed.

However, this warship is not the same as what we agreed? It's a little too soon, isn't it

Mouth said according to the plan, but with his years of pirate experience, William is keenly aware of the development of things, as if something is not quite right.

The whole plan should be to capture the "two tailed fish" carrying contraband and all the crew on it. Then "accident" encountered the Royal Navy patrolling here, leaving the "two tailed fish" for the navy to "capture stolen goods".

If the plan goes well, you don't even have to meet the Navy at all.

The fat pig achieved his goal, and he was able to take back his first mate who was caught accidentally when he went ashore to replenish supplies some time ago, and then left the East Bank of the Black Sea, which is about to become a whirlpool of right and wrong, as soon as possible!But now it seems that something happened that I didn't understand.

Although the "iron bone" has been hovering in the established sea area, which is convenient for the subsequent navy to find, it will take time.

The Royal Navy is not private.

The fat pig found the information, and then the Navy sent out a number of cruisers with enough weight to help Viscount Andrea. Their scheduled time should be delayed by at least one or two days.

Now the warship that appears alone in front of him and the fat pig's plan are obviously different!

"Call all the brothers of the twin tailed fish back. You go first, and I'll say hello to our naval friends.

Not at all. Doesn't it seem that our "iron number" is too weak? "

Since it is different from the planned balance of strength between the Navy and its own side, although William is still not ready to fight with the Navy, he is a brave man with excellent skills. He thinks it's OK to test this strange warship a little.

So in the eyes of the "conch" officers and men saw such a strange scene, in the face of their constant approach, the pirate side was not ready to fight. On the contrary, it abandoned the merchant ship "double tailed fish" and quickly concentrated on the pirate ship. It raised its sails and "fled" from a very far distance?

"Are pirates so understanding now?" The officers and men looked at each other. Although the credit for "recapturing" the merchant ship was in vain, they couldn't figure out what the pirates were singing.

Only Elvin, who knows the inside story, knows that the pirates have finished their part and are ready to leave.

If according to the script, as a cruiser of the Royal Navy, we should send someone to inspect the ship. In full view of the public, the crew witnessed the "contraband" loaded on the ship. With the testimony of the public, they can firmly put the cap of violating the law and discipline on the head of viscount Andrea.

At this critical moment, it is enough to make Laozi Jue lose his seat in wickshire because of the scandal, and even peel off his skin.

"But I'll let you down!"

For the sake of caution, Elvin confirmed that the "iron bone" pirate ship had indeed gone far away, and it would take at least half an hour for her to come back to attack herself, and then ordered:

"get closer, keep a distance, put down the boat, and Send a few people to see if the pirates have left any traps."

At the same time of normal operation of the sailors, the seabirds have first stepped into the internal investigation of the "two tailed fish".

He was very curious about the "contraband" that the Viscount kept secret of himself.

Soon, a few Petite swiftlets have passed the picture to Elvin's heart.

In the cabin, although it was wrapped in black coarse flannel, it was so big and thick that Evan recognized what it was at a glance.

"It's a little too big, isn't it?"

It turned out to be a total of 20 shipborne guns without other supporting parts!

Several of them have been removed from the flannelette, for fear that others will not see the same, the cast iron guns will be directly exposed.

Of course, it can't be a brand new royal weapon, and the Viscount can't have the courage. According to the wear and tear and the marks on it, it should be second-hand goods eliminated by the navy of the kingdom of Thessaly.

Maybe they are going to remove the mark and repair it, then transport it to the dock where they don't know where to hide for the transformation of armed merchant ships, or simply resell it for the second time.

However, in any case, even the eliminated ordnance is much better than the private artillery.

In this era of great navigation, scholars once measured a country's naval strength by the number of guns it owned. Whoever has more guns has stronger firepower, and whose navy is stronger!

No one will dislike the fact that they have a large number of guns, let alone high-quality weapons?

Even if it's not the goods sold by the national military, they are already contraband. This is a big business that only a few powerful nobles can afford!

If you dare to intervene in this business as Viscount Andrea, even if you have a title to protect your body, it will be a crime enough for you to live in prison.

No wonder that old fox is afraid to be like this!
