Chapter 637 Engine Boost
"On May 23th, eight warships from the Second Fleet of Xin'aowei Port, including the White Bird Shark, the Haiying, and the Yanggull, left the port. The number of soldiers from the Second Fleet was [-]."

"On the morning of May [-]th, mist shrouded the ocean."

"On the afternoon of May [-]th, we lost contact with the fleet going to sea."

The pink and chubby first officer reported to Evans with the fleet records recorded in the port.

"They have been out of contact for so long, and you haven't responded at all?" Evans' face was full of confusion, and he began to wonder if there was any difference in the brain circuit structure between the people of La Rochelle and the people of New Orville. So much so that the New Aowei Hong Kong people can frequently do things that he would never think of doing with his butt.

"This... everything is in the hands of the commander... in theory."

Evans scratched his head vigorously, no matter how dissatisfied he was with the first officer's reaction, he had nowhere to vent his dissatisfaction, so he could only say loudly:

"Okay, go back to your post, and pay attention to evasion—who will tell me, what kind of birds are those wrecked ships of your Second Fleet driving now?"

"Second Fleet... They are gathering towards our nine o'clock direction, single column!"

The observer on the mast gave the information he had observed, and suddenly exclaimed: "Be careful to avoid, the flagship White Bird Shark has fired!"

"Evade, evade immediately!"

The rudder wheel was vigorously turned by the sailors, and the bow of the ship quickly shifted to the left, trying to avoid the incoming shells.But those three cannonballs with crystal blue tail flames came very fast, almost in just two breaths, they had already roared and hit the bow of the ship!
The crystal blue shield opened in time at this moment, separating the shells that almost hit the deck directly.However, the hull was fatally bombarded by two shells and shook violently, almost throwing the observer off the mast.

Everyone yelled, Evans gritted his teeth, rushed forward in a few steps, supported the sailor who was almost thrown off the steering wheel, pushed him aside, and quickly turned the steering wheel by himself.

"Go and check the damage to the hull, fast!" He ordered loudly, so that the panicked crew members temporarily found the backbone after being "sieged by friendly forces", and immediately followed his orders.

"Evans, can we slip away?" Su Geer asked after catching up.

However, Evans glanced at him sideways, his black eyes burning with madness that Su Geer couldn't understand.Those hands quickly turned the rudder wheel, making the ship's direction return to the right again, and at the same time dodged a new round of shells that struck amid the shouts of the observers.

"Slipping away doesn't make any sense." He licked his lips, "There is no way to turn back on this road, whether we can reach Ufo Island may be the key to the resolution of the matter—"

"But those are eight enemy ships, and their specifications and configurations are no worse than ours..." Su Geer retorted, "If we withdraw now, we can make another plan."

Evans suddenly stopped with both hands, held the steering wheel firmly, turned his head and looked at Su Geer calmly: "Winkler, I am far inferior to you in spells, but how to sail a ship and fight a war is my specialty."

"We have you, me, and Jindred three professional levels on our ship, as well as the legendary witch Sevilla. No matter what, Ufo Island needs us."

"I know, but—" Su Geer wanted to say more, but Evans suddenly raised his volume, and ordered directly:
"Attention all crew members, the power room is ready to increase the output power of magic power, and then prepare to advance at full speed and break through the enemy fleet!"

With the diffusion of magic power, his voice immediately spread to the entire Pink Fat Flower, so that the sailors on the deck or in the cabin could clearly hear what he said.

For a moment, the whole ship fell into silence—only the sound of the wind and waves raging in the ear, and the roar of the magic crystal cannon sounding in the distance were still manic without appreciation.

After a few seconds of silence, the boat exploded in an instant.

"Captain! You're not kidding, are you? Engine boost, we haven't fully tested that yet..."

But the sailor hadn't finished speaking when he saw a dark golden air blade whizzing past in front of him, cutting off half of his messy bangs.

Beside the rudder wheel, Evans' captain's cap was pressed low, and the long sword in his hand was out of its sheath, pointing at the sailor.

"Now I am thrown into the sea and died under something unknown."

"Or carry out my orders."

"You choose."

No one answered.

A gust of wind hit at this moment, suddenly blowing Evans' captain's hat away, being involved in the high tide, and blowing his black hair into the air.

Afterwards, he put the long sword back into the sheath with a "shua", turned around and held the steering wheel again.

"Engine boost, execute immediately."

The moment his order sounded, all the stunned sailors resumed their movements. They ran in a panic, or returned to the magic crystal cannon they were in charge of to check the loading of the shells, or rushed into the cabin to start the engine. Supercharged preparations.

Su Geer was silent for a moment, and put his hand on Evans' shoulder.

"If there is anything we need to do, just mention it."

"You don't need to say, I will order you." Evans raised his mouth and patted Su Geer on the back, "Go and protect them, and don't let the non-combat personnel in our team get hurt .”

The crew who initially went to check the damage to the hull ran back to the deck at this moment and reported loudly: "Captain, there is a crack in the outer armor on the right side of the bow. The magic attack has been ruled out, and there is no other threat!"

"Is it from the Craftsman team?" Evans asked without turning his head. "Next, I don't care what method you use to boost the engine..."

The sailor was startled, and asked tremblingly, "You mean... full overload burning?"

"Correct."

"Then how far can you drive?" The sailor hesitated for a moment, but asked without questioning.

"The key is to break through the enemy fleet until we get to Jufo Island."

"If the output power reaches the level of the fryer, we can only break through the enemy fleet group, but not enough to reach Jufo Island..." The sailor immediately began his calculations, "We can break through the enemy fleet at the maximum speed, and then break through the enemy fleet at half the speed. Arrive at Euph's Island and delay the destruction of the power furnace..."

"Can it be done?"

"It should be... no problem."

"I want an affirmative answer." Evans raised his eyes, just glanced at it lightly, but it made the sailor crawl all over with goosebumps, and quickly replied: "Sure, definitely no problem—"

"Then do it like this." In Evans' voice, the sailor hurried back into the cabin.

"Observer, report the situation of the enemy ship!"

"The enemy ships are all firing at a salvo angle, with their bows facing our ship. Captain, it will be difficult for us to avoid the next round of shelling..."

"How long ago was the last firing?"

"Ah? Yes..." The observer flipped through the manual and recalled, and hurriedly gave the answer: "44 seconds ago!"

In the past few minutes, the firepower of the eight ships hadn't stopped much.But at that time, I didn't know what was the reason—maybe it was the design of the ship that made it impossible to fire at all when adjusting its attitude, or the gunner didn't wash his face when he got up, his eyes were covered with eye feces, and he couldn't see the direction clearly. Absurdly crooked.

"44... 47, 48, 49..." Evans counted here, and suddenly heard a dozen nautical miles away, there was already a "one" lying in front of them, like a wall of the enemy fleet The deafening shelling sounded from the crowd——

"The whole enemy ship salvo, pay attention to dodging!" The observer shouted heartbreakingly, and Evans raised his head.

Dozens of shells from the magic crystal cannon in mid-air were like falling meteor showers, dragging the blue burning tail flames, almost covering the sky above this sea area.

And all of this is just to deal with one of their ships.

But at the same time, right under Evans, from the core of the Pink Fat Flower, there was a "click" sound like a dusty door lock being suddenly opened.

The whole ship suddenly shook.

"Engine Boost Start!"

"Engine supercharged to full speed!"

"Engine boost overload!"

"Attention everyone, move forward at full speed!"

In an instant, the pink chubby flower, which was still struggling and shaking in the wind and waves, suddenly received a powerful injection of power. It dashed across a wave, smashed heavily into the water, and then flew at a speed far exceeding the previous one. Moving forward!

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Huge shells flew over their heads and smashed into the sea behind them—the accuracy of this round of enemy ships was much higher than before, but because it was so accurate, it suddenly accelerated at the moment of firing On the contrary, the pink chubby flower was able to leave them all behind, and successfully broke through the blockade of this shell!

And the speed-up of the ship has just begun, and the effect of engine boost continues to increase, bringing terrifying acceleration to the ship.The people on the boat even thought that they were not sitting on the boat, but flying on the waves like stepping on a surfboard!

"Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up!"

"There are all the main guns, and each assigns its own target. I ask to fire at the moment before the boarding, and sink them in one round!"

In the sound of Evans' order, the gunners who had already been on standby became more nervous.They paid full attention to their guns, and when they realized that the speed of the ships rushing towards the battleships of the Second Fleet that they were familiar with was much faster than they imagined, they hurriedly adjusted the direction of the guns.

And the Pink Plump Flower speeding across the sea was rapidly approaching those ships, and the original distance of more than ten nautical miles had been compressed to less than ten nautical miles!
Evans wants to break through their lines directly before those ships finish loading!

Ten nautical miles!
Eight nautical miles!
six nautical miles!
"Captain!" The observer's voice came at this moment, and he shouted in a panic: "There is no one on those ships, not a single person!"

"Nobody?" Evans said without any hesitation, "Just do it, fire ahead of the boat, sink them, and we'll go right through them!"

The distance was rapidly approaching, and soon it was so close that even with Evans' eyesight, he could clearly see that the main gun of the enemy dreadnought's bow on the left was rotating the gun body without manipulating it, and the muzzle was already lit. Accumulated blue magical luster——

They are filled!
Evans was taken aback. What he was most worried about was this kind of accident - he didn't know his current speed, the enemy's precise reloading time, or the distance between the two sides. This was a big gamble!
If you bet right, there will be a bright future, but if you bet wrong, you will die!

The muzzles of the two triple-mounted magic crystal cannons were so bright that he had to squint his eyes. He could only hold the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and at the same time prepare to prop up the shield—but whether the shield is effective at this distance is still a question. Question, he didn't have the slightest idea in mind.

Everyone was holding their breath tightly, and the gunners looked at the bright light that almost spat on their faces, each showing a look of despair.The sound of the magic crystal cannon's unique magic attachment has already sounded, and they are about to fire in less than a blink of an eye!
But at this moment, in everyone's sight, a bright light far surpassing the energy stored in the magic crystal descended from the sky, distorted a long-engraved "Z" in the air, and precisely landed on the bow of the dreadnought ship!
"Ka-cha!"

The golden thunder ignited the shells that had not yet fully charged, and the two main guns were almost instantly damaged by the shock wave of magic power, even a piece of the bow was blown off.

And the air wave it set off almost blew the Pink Fat Flower aside, but at this moment Evans can no longer control that much - without the threat from the port side, the loading of the ships on the right side is obviously a bit slower, which is impossible Complete the reload before he breaks through!
The bow of the ship boldly inserted into the two ships, and at the same time, Evans shouted loudly:
"Fire, fire!"

"Boom boom boom!" "Boom boom boom!"

The flames of firing lit up from all over the Pink Plump Flower, the main gun and auxiliary gun fired at the same time, and countless shells pierced through the two ships on the left and right sides in an instant.

However, the cover of one's own ships made it impossible for the other enemy ships in line with those ships to complete effective bombardment. Although they fired artillery, they all bombarded the friendly troops!
In the gray and black gunpowder smoke, the Pink Fat Panghua, under the foil of the two sunken ships on the left and right, boldly rushed out of the barrier of eight ships!

"Success, we succeeded!"

The gunners jumped up immediately, shouting like crazy, and the observer slipped off the mast, hugging the gunners together.

The engine boost began to slow down at this moment, but the acceleration effect could still last for a short period of time, enough to allow the Pink Fat Flower to completely escape the pincer attack of enemy ships.

Evans let go of the hand holding the steering wheel, only to find that the two wooden handles were soaked in sweat and stuck to his hands, and he pulled them directly from the steering wheel.

He turned his head and looked at the enemy fleet that was completely left behind by them. Only then did he feel a numbness in his arms, and his heart was beating violently, almost jumping out of his chest.

"It worked, we made it—"

He yelled in his heart, then glanced behind him.

Cassandra Auditore looked at him excitedly, while Sugar Winkler was pale, leaning on his staff, and gave him a thumbs up.

"Nice job."

Su Geer said so, then tilted his head and passed out.
