The British Empire was rising like the rising sun. In order to deal with the threat of their old enemies, the Spanish, they deployed the Caribbean Fleet in the Caribbean, with a total of forty-two large and small warships.
Among them, the flagship is the "Endeavour", the flagship of Lord Becket's East India Company Armada. It is a battleship of the same class as the "Victory", and it is a first-class battleship! The entire ship is equipped with an astonishing one hundred and twenty artillery pieces! In the entire Caribbean Sea, it is undoubtedly the battleship with the strongest firepower!
In addition, there are five first-class battleships in the Caribbean Fleet. They are slightly smaller than the "Dedicated". Each of these battleships is equipped with one hundred and five artillery pieces! Like the Endeavor, they have three decks, not counting the top floors and dungeon cabins.
Then, there are as many as twenty second-level battleships below this!
These second-level battleships also have three decks, but each of them is only equipped with ninety guns. Their firepower is slightly weaker than that of the first-level battleships. In exchange, it is an increase in speed. They belong to An indispensable backbone of the Caribbean fleet.
After that, there are six third-level battleships. They have only two decks and are equipped with a total of 64 artillery pieces!
However, their main mission is not to fight, but to serve as load-carrying ships in the combat fleet. They are responsible for transporting supplies to a certain extent. Therefore, the requirements for firepower are not too high. However, the number of sixty-four artillery pieces It's enough to raise eyebrows.
Finally, there are ten fast ships in total.
They were not known for their firepower, having a carrying capacity of thirty or fewer guns. However, while reducing the load of the artillery, it increased the speed and increased the crew room.
Under normal circumstances, their mission is to be responsible for beach landings and engagement battles. After the main fleet defeats enemy ships, they are also responsible for pursuing, boarding, killing and capturing enemy ships, and other tasks.
The above is the composition of the British Caribbean Fleet. They have one super battleship "Dedicated", five first-class battleships, twenty second-class battleships, six third-class battleships and supply ships, and ten fast warships. !
However, at this time, a total of forty-two warships and some merchant ships that had been recruited to serve as troop carriers were all converging on the sea outside Port Royal. They were facing the sea breeze outside the attack range of the coastal defense artillery, forming groups one by one. Bombardment formation, they are preparing to bombard Port Royal!
Lord Cutler Becket was a ruthless, ambitious and dangerous chairman of the East India Company who was not only one of the leaders of the East India Trading Company but also the person responsible for the company's expansion into the Caribbean. And, most importantly, his current identity is: the representative of King George II!
Before he came to Port Royal, he had just been knighted by the great King George II of England.
On the way to the Caribbean, he had already figured out how to eliminate the numerous pirates in the Caribbean!
That is: Davy Jones and his ship, the Flying Dutchman!
As long as this ship is obtained or controlled, the pirates in the entire Caribbean will be completely wiped out! Then everything in this region will be said by him, Lord Cutler Becket! Anyone who is shipping here will act based on his face.
However, according to records, if you want to control Davy Jones and his ship, you must first find the chest of the dead! And if you want to find this box, you must first get the pirate Jack Sparrow's compass that doesn't know how to guide?
When Lord Cutler Beckett was worried about how to catch Jack Sparrow and steal the compass, he actually received a piece of news that shocked him: Port Royal had been captured?
Moreover, it was a group of witches who captured Port Royal?
At first, Lord Beckett, who received the information, thought he had read it wrong. After he checked it many times and asked many captains, he finally believed that there was nothing wrong in the information. Those two words were indeed correct. It's a witch!
Finally, after confirming that the information was correct, Lord Beckett laughed angrily on the spot!
A group of witches were actually able to capture a city garrisoned by thousands of regular troops? Are Governor Swann of Port Royal and Commodore Norrington stationed there useless?
Therefore, in his rage, he gathered all the ships of the Caribbean Fleet and headed towards Port Royal with great force without asking the king or parliament for instructions.
He will use thunderous momentum to let those who dare to challenge the majesty of the British Empire know what will happen to those who offend the interests of the British Empire!
"Your Excellency! Our fleet has now been formed and is ready to enter the range of the coastal defense artillery in Port Royal. Please be careful!"
The short Lord Beckett was standing on the bridge, not knowing what to think, when an adjutant ran over and interrupted his thoughts.
Although their flagship will not enter the opponent's effective range, it is better to give a warning just in case.
"Is there any movement in Port Royal?"
After thinking about something, Lord Beckett came back to his senses and asked the adjutant.
"Your Excellency! It's a bit strange. Their cavalry seems to be lining up at the port? They seem to be... lining up for an outing?"
The other adjutant, holding a telescope in his hand, couldn't believe what he just saw.
He had just seen a group of armored cavalry lining up in the unloading square of the port through the telescope. This strange behavior even made him think that he had seen it wrong?
You know, in what age are these people, they still want to rely on heavy armored cavalry to fight against muskets and cannons? Moreover, they are still lining up in the square so densely? A battleship can fire several times. Once it is fired accurately, one shot will almost kill the whole thing, right?
"Oh? It's interesting, show it to me."
After hearing what the adjutant said, Lord Beckett snatched his telescope and started watching it himself.
"Ha! What a bunch of stupid natives! I really don't know how that idiot Norrington failed? Is that the Five Fireball Cult?"
Lord Beckett not only saw the cavalry lined up in the square through his telescope, but also saw the golden five-fireball flag hanging on the flagpole. However, because the distance was too far, he did not see the strange thing on the opponent's flag.
It seems that those witches call their own witch organization the Flame God Cult?
However, Lord Beckett himself prefers to call them the Five Fireball Cult!
Science has developed to this point, but they still want to rely on cavalry to fight against an army of muskets and cannons?
If they were on the plains, when they were unprepared, they might still have a little hope of winning, but here, within the range of the fleet's cannons, if they still do that, they are just asking for death!
"Each formation moves forward! Once within range, fire immediately!"
Lord Beckett waved his hand and ordered, he no longer wanted to waste time here, he wanted to defeat them in one fell swoop!
Then, hang all those Five Fireball cultists and those witches on the cross! This is the fate they deserve for daring to challenge the majesty of the British Empire!
"Go forward! Fire immediately after reaching the predetermined position!!"
"go ahead!!"
"go ahead!!"
As the orders were issued one by one, the ships of the Caribbean Fleet, which had already been organized, began to open their gunports one by one, opened the sails one by one, and began to accelerate with the push of the sea wind.
After they formed a battle line, they had to prepare to brave the fire from the enemy's coastal defense batteries and move closer to the port. After reaching the effective range of the naval guns, they began to violently bombard the shore!
Finally, after defeating the enemy's shore defenses, merchant ships and warships carried sailors directly to the dock to retake this city that belonged to the British Empire, and let the Union Jack fly above the city head again.
…
"Sister Charlotte, the enemy finally started to move!"
After Mary Chaska saw the enemy fleet moving, she stepped up to the side of Charlotte and reported. She was now wearing red light plate armor and was a goddess priest of the Fire Cult.
Here, we have to mention the class composition of the Flame God Cult.
The person in the highest position is, of course, little Annie, who has been revered as the goddess and leader of the Flame God Cult, although she still knows nothing about the Flame God Cult so far!
Anyway, the Flame God Cult was established without her knowledge!
Then, the next level up is Charlotte Millet, the high priest and servant of the Goddess of Fire! Under normal circumstances, the high priest wears golden armor with five red magic flames on his chest, and a golden cloak that is the same as the flag. On the cloak, there is also a huge red magic flame.
Under the high priest, there are four goddess priests, namely Kolya Beaufort, Mary Chaska, as well as Cecilia Eineko and Ke who are still following little Annie to play at sea and have not returned yet. Two twin sisters, Christina Eneko.
Goddess priests usually wear fiery red armor and also wear golden cloaks, but the flame patterns on the cloaks are not as large as those of the high priests.
The high priest of the Flame God Cult, plus the four goddess priests, symbolize the five flames on the flag of the Flame God Cult. The five of them are the core members of the Flame God Cult, which means the five earliest followers of the Flame Goddess Anne. A witch!
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders who don't know the inside story, the name of the Five Fireball God Sect is only derived from the five flame flags. As for the other things, they obviously don't know about it.
Under the goddess sacrifice of the Flame God Cult are an unlimited number of ordinary combat witches. They all wear silver-white armor, a closed pointed red tassel helmet with only two eyes exposed, and wear the same red color as the goddess priest. cloak.
At present, there are only fifty-two combat witches in the Cult of Fire God, and they can only quickly master the fireball and levitation skills through the bracelets. Without the bracelets, they will not have any judicial abilities, not even the thorn shield. All provided by MagicBand.
As the leader of witches and high priest, Charlotte holds the authority to control all bracelets and is not afraid of theft or betrayal.
Finally, under the battle witches are a larger number of knights of the Guardian Knights.
There are nearly 800 of them in total. They are all fanatical boys and girls who were tricked by Charlotte and are addicted to power. Of course, there may also be some opportunists who have returned from the former British army among them. , but who cares about this?
These knights all wear silver-white full-body steel helmets and have no right to wear capes. The close-range attack method is a standard enchanted long sword that can only fool people for the time being. After leaving the scabbard, the blade will burn with flames. The only means of long-range attack is to obtain short-barreled muskets from the Port Royal inventory warehouse.
However, fortunately, their armors have weakened versions of thorn shields. They are all simple enchanting knowledge that Charlotte obtained from Tibbers after signing the contract. They can deflect musket fire to a certain extent, and then In addition, the steel armor itself has a very good protective effect, so when they charge on land, no one is their opponent!
Of course, the premise is that the enemy does not have artillery!
According to the strength of the weakened version of the shield they are currently enchanted with, if one shot is fired, as long as it hits the front, someone will definitely die!
"Brothers and sisters!"
After Charlotte signaled Mary to step back, she rode up to the phalanx of cavalry in silver and white armor.
Looking at the hundreds of knights lined up neatly in front of her, and looking at the fanatical or anxious eyes showing through the gaps in their helmets, she knew what they were worried about.
So, after being silent for a while, she took a deep breath, started to trot in front of the formation, and said loudly:
"Brothers and sisters! Overcome the fear in your hearts and drive away your hesitation and uneasiness!"
After running from the front to the end of the formation, she reined in her horse and turned back again.
"Countless years! We witches have been accused and persecuted for countless years!"
"Countless brothers and sisters died tragically on racks and ropes, or were burned to death in flames!"
"And today, here, I can tell you: We will never fail today! Never!"
"Today, this land is illuminated by the flames of the Flame Goddess! In this sacred place where the goddess descends! In this place where our Flame God Cult was born! Here, we will sound our first call to resist evil persecution. Sound the horn!"
Looking at these fanatical believers, Charlotte exhaled slightly, took out her golden pointed red tassel helmet from the saddle, and firmly brought it to her head, so that everyone here could no longer see her helmet. She has a beautiful and resolute face, but only those eyes that are more fanatical than anyone else can be seen.
"Although the enemy in front of me is very powerful...but!"
Charlotte pulled up the reins suddenly, and the horse's front hooves neighed in the air and turned the horse's head.
Then, she suddenly pulled out the simple enchanted sword from her waist, and pointed the burning blade at the densely packed enemy ships on the sea.
"You will see that they will eventually burn in the fire of our Flame God Cult!!"
After she finished speaking, the war horse under her crotch roared again and neighed with its front hooves in the air.
"We will win!"
"Long live the Fire Cult!!"
"Long live the Fire Goddess!!!"
The knights were all infected by Charlotte's words and confidence. Each of them pulled out the sword from his waist, raised it high, and shouted various slogans fanatically at the same time!
"All fighting witches, obey your orders!"
After seeing the morale rise, she nodded with slight satisfaction. Then, she turned around and looked at the silent witch phalanx on the other side.
Although there are only fifty-two of them, today, they are the main force in the battle!
As for the others, even the cavalry of the Guardian Knights, Charlotte did not intend to let them take action! Today's battle must be performed by these few fighting witches.
This was what she thought of as the best way for the Flame God Religion to show off its extraordinary power to the world!
She wants to show the fangs of their Flame God Cult to the world, so that no future enemies will be able to resist at all!
"Follow me and attack!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Charlotte let go of the horse's reins and began to perform the levitation technique, allowing her body to slowly float up from the saddle.
Following her movements, the two goddess priests Kolya and Mary, as well as the fifty-two battle witches in white armor and red cloaks, also slowly floated up from the saddle, and followed Charlotte firmly toward the sea. The fleet flies away!
"Long live the goddess!"
"Long live the High Priest!"
"Long live the Fire Cult!"
"We must win! We must win! We must win!"
Seeing this scene, the phalanx of knights on the ground cheered with more fanaticism and louder voices. Today, they will witness this historic moment together!
Plop...
There seemed to be a sound of something falling into the sea, and then the entire Caribbean fleet began to commotion.
"This...must be God's joke...must be, right?"
Lord Beckett murmured in his mouth, looking dully at the soldiers wielding flaming swords in the square in the distance, as well as the armored witches flying in the sky, slowly but surely flying towards his fleet. , he didn’t even notice that the telescope in his hand fell into the sea.
"Could it be...that I'm dreaming?"
He felt that maybe, in the next moment, he would find himself waking up on a comfortable and soft down bed? Maybe it would be better if that were the case?
Or maybe... I've been too busy with military affairs recently, and I'm hallucinating?
"How did that happen?"
At the previous moment, their fleet was preparing to enter the range and bombard the Five Fireball cultists who were still playing heavy cavalry, and then continue to land and attack Port Royal, and then capture those heretics and hang them all on crosses!
But now?
After mobilizing for a while, the opponent actually grabbed the magic sword burning with flames and flew directly towards his fleet to attack?
There's obviously something wrong with this style of painting... Is there something wrong?
