Chapter 867

For the time being, woking church has not been able to know the situation of the Ranger battle group. However, considering the experience of the dawn church before, the senior management has quietly made a fork for the Ranger battle group. From the perspective of chess players, their layout is still a step late.

But for the pieces at the bottom, such as the remnants of the Rangers and the priest Kidd, that's the difference.

The tramp fleet wasted a lot of time in panic. Most of those who were struggling in the sea were mercenaries with poor water quality. They sacrificed themselves to the sea with despair.

No way. Their chief commander, second commander, and a special group of four mages, who are the think tanks of the battle group, were all dead in the sea in the previous shelling and disappeared without a trace. The whole battle group had no leader.

This is not the worst. The worst thing is that a large number of sharks are attracted, playing with their prey like hunting under the water, tearing their thighs, and taking them across the sea, leaving a dark red blood path.

Charles succeeded in gaining command of a warship. When he boarded the warship, the deck was full of demoralized soldiers. They were a little overestimated in terms of losing their armor and armor. These people were really numb and lazy to move. Even if their comrades were being bitten by sharks, they would not respond.

"Take your guns, damn it!" Charles kicked down several people sitting on the ground with one kick: "listen to me! Line up

It's easy for a man without a soul to listen to authority. The first soldier to stand up is soon full of people.

Several quick reaction soldiers quickly removed boxes of muskets from the warehouse. The unsealed muskets smelled of grease and were well made, but meaningless, because their enemies could beat them out of range.

But these weapons can at least help to relieve the pain of their comrades in arms.

"Raise your gun!" Charles waved his commanding knife, his eyes red: "don't close your eyes, look at your comrades in arms, send them the last leg!"

Below the sea, those sharks have begun to attack lifeboats in groups. This kind of strong marine creature, which is a specialty of far south sea area, can grow up to more than five meters in length. On weekdays, it will not take the initiative to attack human beings. However, recently, the far south coastal area has been polluted by chaos, which makes it more difficult for them to find food.

These starving sharks are in small groups, and a single charge can overturn a lifeboat, and then eat all the survivors inside.

"Fire!" Charles waved down the command knife. The sound of the gun also alerted the other surviving ships. They began to consciously stop the sharks, and formed a circle to protect the lifeboats in the middle, and finally drove the sharks away.

In the end, it took Charles three hours to reorganize the whole Ranger regiment. Besides him, four or five small captains survived.

In the course of three hours, seven of the fifteen warships that had been wounded sank because of their injuries.

The members of these ships were lucky enough to take off their extra armor and weapons. Even if they had not boarded the lifeboat, they also picked up a few pieces of wood and jumped into the sea with the waves.

Thirty five warships, 3000 well-trained soldiers, including the sailors and officers of each ship, were nearly 4000.

At present, there are only 14 warships, dozens of lifeboats and debris all over the sea, which is all that the Rangers have left.

Charles estimated that the total survival of the Rangers would not exceed a thousand, and that almost all supplies had been lost, and more than half of the warships could not sail at full speed.

What's more, more than one survivor, in order to get a chance to survive, fought against each other in the previous chaos. In fact, the artillery captain who was on the same boat with Charles also survived successfully and has now gained command of a warship.

Many ships refused to rescue the drowning people in the chaos. Those who fell into the water were not all drowned. The only reason why the Ranger battle group did not fall apart was that most people did not know where they were going and what they were going to do. After all, this is the sea, not the land.

At this time, Charles was meeting with several surviving captains. They gathered on a intact warship, along with all the surviving captains.

Fourteen ships, nineteen captains, five mercenaries.

"Take us home. We won't accept the employment this time. We can't fight this battle!" A firearm captain took the lead and said, "if it's a big deal, we'll refund the money!"

This is an idiot who comes in by nepotism. Charles has known it since he joined the Rangers group, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so stupid.

"We don't have enough supplies to go back to the far south, we don't have enough food and fresh water." The head of a mercenary in charge of logistics rolled his eyes: "if you want to go back, I can assign you a lifeboat. You can go back by boat."

No one will give him face now, because his backer in the Rangers' group has been buried in the sea with the gunfire.The firearm captain clearly understood his situation and closed his mouth tightly without saying a word.

"To make a point, gentlemen, the warship was coming from godram and leaving in the same direction, and our destination was godram." One of the captains knocked on the table: "so what are we going to do next? Do you still risk going to godram as planned, or do you want to do something else? "

"I don't agree to take a risk. That warship has enough power to annihilate us. We may have been left out of ammunition before. We will not be so lucky next time we encounter it." The captain's had to shake his head and say, "we've probably got to go to another city."

"No, we don't have enough supplies. Several ships have been hit in the cargo compartment before, and some ships have just thrown away some supplies in order to save more people." The mercenary in charge of the logistics shook his head. "Our food lasts for three days at most. I don't know how far it is to godram, but I know it's the nearest city to us."

"He's right. We're only one-third as fast as we used to be. A lot of ships need to be repaired. A storm can bury us all." One of the captains objected: "I agree to go to godram as planned."

"I agree, but before that I have an account with Charles." The artillery captain drew out his machete, and the man rushed over with the voice.
