"Oh, God……"
"What kind of people are we fighting?"
"Sir? What should we do? Our cannons don't have such a high firing angle!"
The sailors and soldiers on other ships of the Caribbean Fleet also saw the armored witches flying into the sky, holding flaming swords, and approaching them menacingly. In a short period of time, varying degrees of commotion occurred on each ship. .
As long as they are not fools, they all know that it will definitely be difficult to deal with those enemies who are wearing plate armor and cloaks, holding flaming and incomprehensible magic weapons, and can even fly!
If the other party had another pair of wings, I'm afraid they would simply surrender, right?
The soldiers began to be confused and asked the officers what to do. The gunners also stopped trying to launch the artillery or load the ammunition. Even the officers at the bottom were undecided for a while and asked their respective officers. captain.
And the captains don’t even know! Maybe they can still know how to deal with pirates or even monsters in the sea.
However, when dealing with an enemy like this that can fly and is obviously not an ordinary human being, it is not a decision they can make easily.
Therefore, they all looked towards the center of the fleet, waiting for the next order from the largest flagship, the "Zhili".
"Your Excellency, what should we do? Please give us the order!"
The adjutant of the flagship Commitment also endured the uneasiness in his heart and ran to Lord Beckett's side, asking him to issue an order in this situation.
"Anthony, I have a very bad feeling..."
As the flying enemies gradually approached, Lord Beckett finally sighed, turned to look at his adjutant, and said in a lonely tone:
"Failure will be inevitable... Maybe it would be better if all this was just a dream?"
Unlike his adjutant, who was anxious and agitated, Lord Beckett seemed somewhat calm.
He now seemed to understand a little bit why Port Royal was occupied by a group of pagans who were said to be witches, and he also understood why the shrewd and capable Brigadier Norrington, who commanded more than a thousand elite soldiers, surrendered easily.
It turns out that these enemies are completely different from the ones they usually face. They... actually know real witchcraft?
In addition to flying, they must also have other means of attack, right? So, what method should I use to resist?
Musket? Norrington's soldiers also have more than a thousand muskets...
"Your Excellency, give the order quickly!"
Seeing the enemy in the sky getting closer and closer, the adjutant couldn't help but urge loudly.
"What can we do with such an enemy?"
Lord Beckett no longer paid attention to his adjutant Anthony, but murmured and turned around, continuing to look up at the figure flying towards them, getting closer and closer.
It seems that the one wearing golden armor... is a woman? Witch?
As for witches, Lord Beckett said that he himself has seen many of them. Whether they are real witches or fake witches, don't they just make themselves weird and then play some disgusting witchcraft?
Where can I find such a witch wearing full-body plate armor who can fly?
There must be something wrong with the intelligence, right?
"damn it!"
Seeing that his commander was out of control at this fatal moment, the adjutant Anthony couldn't help but became furious.
This kind of aristocratic gentleman who comes from an aristocratic background and has not experienced too many hardships is just unreliable! If you were a general who was killed in a bloody storm, no matter whether your enemy is a god or a devil, flying in the sky or swimming in the water, no matter whether you can win or not, in this case, they will only fight. Order to fire, shoot first and then talk!
"Hurry up! Send out the musketeers and line up! Target: enemies in the sky! Tell them they can fire freely!"
After seeing that the enemy had flown only tens of meters away from the outermost warship, the adjutant Anthony, who did not want to sit still and wait for death, no longer cared so much. He directly passed his commander Lord Beckett and looked towards the military order with a ferocious expression. The officer ordered.
"Ah? Yes!"
The herald was stunned for a moment, and first glanced at the Lord, who was the commander of the fleet. After seeing that the other party neither agreed nor objected, he loudly agreed to the order.
After waiting for a long time, the captains of the outer warships who finally received the order began to take action. In fact, they planned to do so even without an order.
On their ship, a large group of musketeers began to swarm onto the deck. After simply arranging a formation on the deck, the muskets in their hands raised their muzzles and aimed at the enemies attacking from the sky.
Actually, they would rather use artillery to bombard them directly.
However, the artillery on the battleship does not have such a large elevation angle, and those that can directly hit the enemy in the sky can only be anti-aircraft guns, definitely not the gunpowder naval guns of this era.
No one dares to forcibly raise the shooting angle of the naval gun. If they have to do that, it is hard to say whether they can hit the enemy. Those gun barrels that are overturned by the huge recoil will kill their own people first. Little life!
"Ready, aim...fire!"
"Fire!!!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Finally, after the flying armored witches in the sky approached the effective distance, the outer warship musketeers began to shoot in the air under the orders of their respective officers.
Countless musket blasts sounded.
After the bursts of gunpowder smoke from the shooting, the hot lead bullets were fired towards the enemy in the sky for the first time in this era!
Although the soldiers are also very afraid of this kind of flying enemy that is beyond their understanding, in most of their minds, these flying enemies may have just acquired some special abilities. .
Now that they have so many muskets, if they shoot at close range, even if the opponent can fly, they will definitely be punched with countless flesh and blood holes, and then they will fall down directly, right?
"ah!"
"Ah! My hand is broken!"
"Help...they really know terrible witchcraft!"
Following the firing of muskets, countless screams began to sound in the next moment.
However, these screams were not from the witches, but from the musketeers who had just fired!
Those musketeers who shot at witches in silver-white armor were lucky, their bullets would only be deflected or bounced away; but those soldiers who were blind and aimed directly at witches in gold or red armor were fine. Unfortunately, the bullets they fired actually bounced back, directly punching bloody holes in their heads or limbs!
Countless amounts of blood or brains began to burst out and splash out, instantly staining the deck or those beautiful white sails red.
They will never know that there is a magic called a shield that can absorb physical and magical damage, and those bullets that are bounced or deflected are proof!
There is also a more powerful magic shield, which is called a reflective shield. In addition to absorbing physical and magical damage, it can also reflect attacks to enemies. Those who have fallen on the deck, or are groaning and screaming, or have been The soldiers who died directly are the best example.
This reflective shield is a simple enchantment that little Annie added to the witch bracelets of Charlotte and the other five. In this low-magic world, it seems to be unusually useful.
"How could this be? How is this possible?!"
Adjutant Anthony, who had just overtaken his deputy and issued the attack order, was now dumbfounded.
Under the close-range shooting of their countless musketeers, those enemies were actually intact? Some can even directly rebound the bullets fired? How could such a thing happen?
Oh, God……
What kind of incredible method is this? Could it be that they are all devils crawling out of hell?
"snort!"
After Charlotte saw the enemy start to attack, she snorted coldly, shouted and gave the order.
"Everyone spread out and surround them! Don't let any ship escape! Those who don't surrender or resist will be burned!"
Charlotte herself also knew that the shield of their witch bracelets was time-limited.
Now, they must take advantage of the enemy being frightened and use thunderous means to directly force them to surrender! Only after burning a group of ships and making the other side realize that they have the ability to easily destroy the entire fleet, will the remaining ones give up resistance and surrender honestly.
"Yes! High Priest!"
The witches floating next to Charlotte responded, and then quickly dispersed.
They used their white figures to slowly form a sparse line in the sky over the sea, vaguely surrounding the entire Caribbean fleet in battle line.
That's the enemy's flagship, right?
After seeing her witches taking action, Charlotte began to fly directly towards the center of the enemy fleet.
In the center of these enemy fleets, there is the largest and tallest warship, and its decoration is also the most gorgeous!
Generally speaking, that battleship should be the enemy's flagship, right?
Then, the supreme commander of their fleet must be up there!
Therefore, now Charlotte plans to directly force the enemy's leader to surrender, thereby achieving the goal of successfully capturing the entire fleet! She believed she could easily do this herself.
"Which of you is the commander?"
Charlotte flew directly to the top of Lord Beckett's flagship Dedicated, about ten meters away, and asked sternly.
Just when she was about to say something to force the opponent to surrender, she never expected that a smaller warship suddenly rushed sideways from the side. The sailors and soldiers on it actually dared to attack her regardless of life or death. Shooting, and even some sailors were playing with a slightly smaller light cannon on the deck.
They...are they planning to forcibly raise the muzzle of the gun and launch a close-range, direct-aimed artillery bombardment at her?
"court death!!"
Charlotte scolded, it seemed that these enemies were not going to surrender easily.
Okay, then you might as well give them some color and let them know what is irresistible!
flame……
A fireball began to slowly emerge from Charlotte's left hand that was not holding the sword, and gradually grew larger. She decided to use this ship that dared to shoot at her as an example to the other party's commander, otherwise , the enemy's flagship will probably continue to resist, right?
"Shattering Fire!"
Charlotte suddenly threw the fireball on her left hand at the battleship that was still approaching her. Under her control, a blazing fireball slightly larger than a human head was directed towards the small battleship. The deck roared and struck.
Soon, after almost a breath, this fireball with extremely high magical energy hit the gunpowder barrel next to the cannon that had been erected and was about to bombard her.
boom! ! !
There was a loud noise of gunpowder being detonated and a fireball exploding.
After the gunpowder was ignited and exploded, all the sailors who were playing with the cannon were blown into a pile of fragments and flew out. The magic fireball also exploded at the same time. Countless flames seemed to appear out of thin air, directly The entire battleship was engulfed in flames.
"ah!!!"
"Help!!!"
Countless firemen screamed and rushed out of the cabin one by one.
The lucky ones were able to jump directly into the sea and let the sea water extinguish the flames on their bodies in time, but more of them fell on the deck one after another. Some fell in the cabin without even touching the cabin door. Inside, swallowed by merciless flames!
After a while, more and more violent roars began to sound inside the small warship. Those explosions should be that the gunpowder barrels stored inside were ignited.
boom! boom! boom! ! !
After bursts of explosions, billowing black smoke rose into the sky...
Those exploding gunpowder barrels directly opened huge gaps in the wooden warship. Countless flaming wood chips were blown into the sky, and then landed one after another, like a rain of fire. generally.
boom! ! !
After being immersed for a while, the battleship suddenly made another loud roar.
That was the largest ammunition depot in the bottom of the battleship. It was finally detonated by the flames. Finally, the battleship was instantly exploded into countless fragments and broken into two dilapidated parts at the same time. Countless people around were horrified. In his eyes, the heavy parts began to slowly sink into the sea, leaving only a few burning wooden boards and large fragments still floating on the sea...
"Now! Tell me your decision: Surrender? Or die?!"
Amidst the thick smoke and flames formed by the burning and sinking battleship, Charlotte flew to the sky less than ten meters away from the bridge of the Dedicated, looking down at several officers who looked like people around the bridge below.
"Hurry up and tell me your decision!"
Charlotte impatiently waved the flaming sword in her right hand and pointed the tip of the sword at them.
Seeing that they were frightened by her actions and retreated in panic, behind her closed golden helmet, where others could not see, the corners of her mouth curved in a proud arc.
However, Charlotte discovered that there was only one exception among the people below?
"You are their commander? Great! Now, tell me your decision!"
Charlotte took off her helmet with her left hand, held it in her arms, and pointed her sword at the opponent.
It was a slightly short officer. He still raised his head and looked at her blankly with eyes that had almost lost focus.
"Oh my god...is this an angel?"
Lord Beckett stared blankly at the witch in the sky who was wearing golden armor and a golden cloak, floating out of thin air and looking down at him. Her youthful and beautiful cold face, and her exquisite and tight golden armor were reflected in the sunlight. , against the backdrop of the blazing fire and thick smoke, it is so beautiful that it is as if a god descended from heaven!
No……
This should be a war angel sent to the mortal world by the gods. This should be an existence that can only appear in myths, right?
If she hadn't just destroyed a battleship, if she hadn't lost a pair of wings and caused countless killings, he, Beckett, must have thought so, right?
"So...is this how Norrington lost?"
At this moment, Lord Beckett surprisingly had no fear in his heart and was no longer afraid. Now, he only has calmness and a trace of understanding, and of course, there is also that little bit of indescribable and inexplicable touch.
"Now! Your decision? Life? Or death?"
Charlotte was impatient. She didn't have much time to stay with these people in a stalemate here.
Therefore, after she put the long sword back into the scabbard, she began to activate a shattering fire on her right hand. She had decided that within ten breaths, if the other party did not give a reply, then they would be destroyed!
"Anthony, go raise the white flag..."
Sighing, Lord Beckett turned sideways and said something to his adjutant, then closed his eyes helplessly.
They have tried their best. Faced with an opponent who is invulnerable, can fly and fireball, and can destroy a sail warship in one attack, they really do not have the courage and means to fight. So, as a commander, what is left for him now? The only option left was to surrender.
As for the option of retreat, he had never considered it. After all, their ship couldn't outrun those flying witches!
"Witch... now that you have won, please order your subordinates to stop..."
Beckett had already seen that in the distance, on the periphery of the fleet, Charlotte's witches had burned many battleships.
Any warships that tried to retreat or resist had been burned into floating fire cabinets moving on the sea. Countless sailors and soldiers who were on fire, like dumplings, jumped into the sea to survive. Opportunity.
The screams, the explosions when the ship was destroyed, as well as the soaring flames and the billowing smoke that covered the sky, made Lord Beckett clearly realize that continuing to resist has become meaningless. The act of committing suicide.
This is really ironic...
They aggressively gathered the entire Caribbean fleet and recruited so many merchant ships to transport soldiers, but the result...
Before we even had time to attack the port, we were already taken over by others?
The entire Caribbean fleet was destroyed in his own hands in such a strange way?
this change
It's just a little too fast...
...
"Do you know? At that time, I thought I was definitely going to die!"
After talking about what he had seen and heard in Port Royal, Captain One-Eyed Dragon said something with emotion.
"With so many warships preparing to bombard the port, I thought that my ship, the Mary Pearl, could not be saved! So, I got into the captain's room and hugged my fellow shipmates. Shen is determined!
"At that time, I drank up the last three remaining bottles of fine rum that had been treasured for a long time!"
In this mixed bar on Turtle Island, Captain Cyclops burped and took another sip from his glass.
The noisy environment next to him made him a little unhappy, so he stopped talking and turned to look at the middle of the bar, where a few drunken men were acting crazy and fighting after getting drunk.
"Hurry up! Continue?"
Although the bald captain could almost imagine what happened next, he still urged.
Now, he is enjoying listening to it!
The arrogant Caribbean fleet was completely annihilated by a group of witches. There was nothing more satisfying than this.
"That's right! Keep talking, what happens next?"
Now is the most exciting time. Captain Beard also wants to know, what happened next? It's best to be more specific and let them know more.
"Uh... I don't know what happened next!"
The one-eyed dragon's hand that picked up the wine glass froze in mid-air. At that time, he was drunk, and many of the things that followed were only known to him when the crew of the Mary Pearl turned around and told him.
"have no idea?!"
The bearded captain was so angry that he stood up straight away, blowing his beard and staring, wanting to go up and fight.
In order to let this bastard continue talking, he even invited a guest. As a result, he was almost drunk, and this bastard actually said that there was no more words?
"It seems that I have to consider whether to beat your other eye blind."
The bald French captain also stood up and clenched his fists.
Anyway, here in the Turtle Island Bar, it is normal to start a fight if there is a disagreement. If something is not decided, solve it with your fists!
"Wait! Guys, wait a minute and listen to me!"
One-Eyed Dragon hurriedly comforted the two of them. He didn't know what happened, but he saw the result. Isn't that what he wanted to say? Why are they so anxious?
"You may never imagine what an amazing scene I saw when I came out of the captain's cabin after not hearing the sound of shelling for a long time!"
After seeing that the two people were moved and attracted by his words again and sat down again, the one-eyed dragon held the round table with both hands, approached the two people and whispered:
"I only saw flames all over the sky, and thick smoke almost covered the entire sea! Countless warships were burning, and countless soldiers and sailors were wailing on the water in the distance..."
"I estimate that about twenty warships were burned! And the others all hung white flags! They actually surrendered en masse!"
After finally telling everything he knew, the one-eyed dragon looked at the shock and confusion on the other person's face, not to mention how proud he was.
Although this matter had nothing to do with him, after all, he was one of the witnesses present at the time, which was enough for him to brag about for a long time.
"Can a witch really do this?"
The two of them said in disbelief. They couldn't imagine that kind of witch who only pretended to be a ghost, when did she become so cruel?
"What did they use to burn those battleships?"
The bald captain was still a little incomprehensible. He waved his hand and burned a ship. Although the ship was made of wood, this was too unbelievable!
That is more than forty warships in the entire fleet! Moreover, most of them are powerful first- and second-level battleships! That was a real fleet, and those witches could really defeat, burn, and capture them?
"Of course it's the witch's magic!"
"It's impossible for witchcraft to do this, right?"
The two of them still refused to believe that the so-called witchcraft could achieve this, which had subverted their common sense.
"Humph! They are not ordinary witches. I saw them flying in the sky in the distant fighting area!"
The one-eyed dragon looked at the two people in a showy way. He liked seeing the other person's face when he was shocked by his words.
"They can still fly?!"
The two of them seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.
"Huh? Didn't I tell you just now that they can fly?"
The one-eyed dragon was a little puzzled. He remembered what he had just said, right? Or was it that he was so drunk just now that he forgot to mention this?
"Of course not! You just said you got into the boat and it was the end when you came out!"
The two replied angrily, this one-eyed dragon, couldn't he tell the story seriously? There was nothing like it, and they were itching to hear it.
"Oh, well, now you know."
The one-eyed dragon reached out to the bar table and took the last bottle of rum into his hand. He stopped using the cup, unscrewed the cork, and then tilted his head towards the mouth of the bottle to drink.
"By the way, at the end, did you make any money in Port Royal?"
After listening to the excitement, they were probably able to figure out what happened.
So, now the two began to ask about what they were most concerned about. Since the one-eyed dragon originally planned to go to Port Royal for transportation, did he make any money? Are there any business opportunities in Port Royal? That's what they care about most.
As for whether the witches or the British are in charge of Port Royal now, they won't care about such nonsense! In their opinion, as long as there are gold coins to earn, they will dare to go even if the devil stays in Port Royal!
"Oh! Money? Of course! Listen, what is this?"
After the one-eyed dragon looked around mysteriously, he turned to the two of them, freed up a hand, and gently patted a heavy pocket on his coat.
As he slapped, a series of seductive crashing sounds began to emit from which pocket. That was... the sound of a large pile of gold coins colliding? !
this……
Hearing this voice, the two captains, the bald man and the bearded man, looked at each other and each took a breath of air.
"How much did you make?"
The two of them leaned forward again, lowered their voices as much as possible, and began to ask in a low voice.
"Probably...that's the number!"
The one-eyed dragon proudly slapped the two people opposite.
This is the most money he has made this year!
The reason why he is here now is to continue to purchase some cheap mission items in Turtle Island, such as dirt and the like, and then use the price difference to make a lot of money!
As long as everything goes well, soon, the large farm, new ship, noble lady, etc. he dreams of will no longer be a fantasy!
In his little life, he has really become more and more energetic and energetic!
"..."
Seeing the one-eyed dragon's outstretched palm, the two of them were so shocked that their eyes almost fell out.
Especially the bearded man. He worked hard to travel to East India, back and forth for several months, taking huge risks, but he couldn't make as much as the one-eyed dragon in ten days, right?
So, can he not be jealous?
"..."
As for the bald French captain?
He now even has the idea of sailing to the sea and squatting down, preparing to kill the one-eyed dragon and snatch the opponent's gold coins! This is how money and silk move people’s hearts!
"For the sake of you buying me a drink, I will give you another piece of good news for free!"
Maybe the one-eyed dragon saw some bad thoughts in the eyes of the two people, maybe he wanted to show off his news, or maybe he was already drunk?
Therefore, he decided to send another message for free.
Anyway, I guess I can't keep this news secret for long, so I might as well just sell it as a favor. Moreover, he believes that within ten days and a half, the entire Caribbean and the New World will know everything, right?
"What good news?"
After hearing that there was still good news, the two of them temporarily put aside their dirty thoughts and cautiously got together.
"Port Royal is still issuing bounty missions, and they are still purchasing a large amount of various materials, especially building materials! Moreover, they are still purchasing them at high prices!"
This news is indeed true, but Cyclops doesn't want to do this kind of business.
After all, building materials are very heavy, and his Mary Pearl cannot carry too many things. Even if the witches pay a high price, how much can they make in one trip? Where can he earn more from the task he is taking now? That's why he kindly revealed the news.
"you sure?"
"It's fake, right? What do they need building materials for?"
The bearded and bald men were a little unbelievable. Based on what they heard just now, the Caribbean Fleet surrendered before it could bombard Port Royal, right?
So how is it possible that the intact Port Royal is acquiring building materials?
Don't wait until they buy a lot of materials and the other party doesn't accept them. Wouldn't it be a huge loss? It’s not such a waste of money!
"I dare to guarantee it in the name of God! Because they are said to be building a new palace!"
Hearing that the two people didn't believe him, Captain One-Eyed Dragon quickly swore to the sky.
"Come on, you infidel! Don't think we don't know what you believe!"
The two shook their heads at him with disdain, their faces full of contempt.
Although they did not believe in his character, they felt that the other party's information should be accurate.
Forgive this one-eyed dragon for not having the guts to deceive them both!
If that's the case, maybe they can take a trip to Port Royal? Moreover, the sooner this happens, the better! The best thing is to go over and make a huge profit before others react!
"Ah... um... I suddenly remembered something, so I'm leaving first!"
The bearded captain suddenly stood up, patted the table, put on his captain's hat, and then led several of his men out of the bar door.
"I remembered it too! There seems to be a hole in my boat? I'm going to see how they repaired it!"
The bald captain also came to his senses and quickly stood up. After hastily confessing to the one-eyed dragon and greeting his men who were drinking on the other side, the group of people walked away like this.
"Hmph! These two bastards!"
The one-eyed dragon thought with his butt, knowing what the two of them were going to do!
After knowing the news, he must have left the port overnight and hurried to Port Royal!
However, he is not in a hurry now. Because his ship still needs to purchase low-cost materials and other goods here on Turtle Island, he has no way to set sail until the collision is completed.
You know, these supplies he is purchasing are all urgently needed goods in Port Royal!
As long as his Mary Pearl is filled, it will definitely make another fortune! In the entire Caribbean, only Turtle Island has the cheapest goods! After all, they are all stolen goods...
Ahem, he, one-eyed dragon, is a law-abiding captain, how could he buy stolen goods?
…
At this time, after obtaining the diary contributed by Barbossa, little Annie finally arrived at her destination.
Here is a strange and remote sea area. It is daytime. Not far away, they even saw a small reef-like island, which seemed to reflect some strange light.
"Master Witch, are you sure that Poseidon's trident is under the sea here?"
The Dauntless and two other Spanish warships, loaded with gold, silver and jewelry, parked directly in this remote sea area this time.
After learning that this was the magical burial place left by Poseidon, Barbossa was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out. You know, they had passed through this sea area several times before. How could he have thought that the treasures that pirates like them dreamed of were buried under the sea?
This is the artifact of Poseidon, the God of the Sea... With it, can you have the power to rule the entire ocean?
"Master Witch, how about... I help you go down and take a look first? Can I explore the way for you? Don't worry, my water skills are very good!"
Not knowing what the hell idea he had in mind, Jack Sparrow came over again.
Although he said that he wanted to go down to explore the road first, I am afraid that only he himself knows what his intention is in his heart.
"Hmph! You don't need to be there, I've already asked Selena and their mermaids to go down there to look for them."
Little Annie rolled her eyes at the malicious pirate with disdain and sat on the guardrail along the edge of the ship, waiting for her group of mermaids to come up and repay her favor.
Wow!
As soon as Little Annie finished speaking, a wave of waves appeared under the edge of the boat, and the upper body of a stunning mermaid suddenly poked out of the sea.
"Master, we have found the artifact you are looking for, but... there is an invisible shield around it, and we cannot get close to it."
This mermaid that suddenly appeared is Selena.
Just now, when the three ships of the fleet stopped and anchored here, they were immediately ordered to spread out and search for an artifact called a trident on the seabed of this sea area.
For mermaids who are originally marine creatures, diving into the seabed to search for an item is not a big problem for them. What's more, they now have a large group of tribesmen!
Therefore, not long after, they quickly found a special scepter inserted on a seabed boulder on the seabed not far away. Presumably, it was the trident of Poseidon, the god of the sea, that their new owner was looking for. Already?
Unfortunately, they couldn't get close, so she had to report back with anxiety, hoping that their new owner wouldn't blame them.
Huh? It seems that it might be a really good thing!
"You lead the way now, and I'll go down and have a look too!"
After hearing Selina say that the trident actually had its own shield to prevent them from getting close, little Annie finally became more interested.
This kind of item has a self-protection function, and can automatically protect and refuse other people to approach it. Even if it is not a magic weapon, it wouldn't be too bad if you want to get it, right?
So, little Annie decided that she would go down there herself and... take it away!
