Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

Chapter 195: Premise of Naval Battle (Happy Fourth of Year!)

Every ship in the fleet has a Camelot that is making fresh water, so Yehe knows Wally's performance well.

"Ah."

Catching Wally's doubtful gaze, Ye He chuckled lightly, and the silver beneath the two corpses at his feet disappeared, causing them to fall into the sea again.

Then he left without looking back, seemingly not planning to do anything to Wally about this matter.

He ran out in the middle of the night, and it was true that he just came to scare Wally. Although this kid was a bit stupid, he might be useful later.

Wally was indeed frightened by Ye He. During the next two days of sailing, he and his battleship behaved as always and did not do anything irrational.

But on the third day, when the fleet entered the sea area occupied by pirates and was quickly surrounded by dense pirate ships appearing from all directions, Wally still showed his fangs towards "his own people".

"Sink the Extraordinary Lady! Do you hear me? Sink the Extraordinary Lady! Only by presenting this "letter of surrender" to the pirates can we be qualified to survive!"

The extreme captain issued an extreme order, which stunned the crew who were actively preparing for war.

Looking at the crew members who were still questioning him, Wally finally came up with the words he had prepared for a long time:

As if answering Grave's doubts, the two largest pirate flagships accelerated their speed and stood out from the slowly gathering circle of pirates.

At this moment, Wally suddenly turned around, the expression on his face was extremely gloomy, and the light of his class ability also lit up in his hands, as if he was preparing to fight to the death?

"Oh!"

"It's just... distance! If both sides can't bring each other into their attack range, then the ship battle is meaningless, isn't it?"

His body jumped over the railing and fell into the sea, just like the two bodies he threw into the endless sea two days ago.

Ye He did not rush to take action to reassure Grave. On the contrary, he interrupted Grave's request and asked him:

"You are an old captain. You should know that ship battles at sea actually have a very simple premise, right?"

"boom!!!!!"

Grave understood and nodded without thinking. Indeed, in ship battles at sea, everything is determined by the range of the cannon.

"Have you forgotten? Why did the mermaid come to inform us two days ago? Even if we break out from these pirates, do you still have to use this shabby ship to continue to follow Grave to face the demons on the sea? ?Don’t you want to live?”

"Snapped!"

Grave's voice sounded behind him, causing Wally's body to tremble violently.

When the pirates' pirate ships were surrounding them, Grave actually appeared on his ship?

"Prepare for war! Little bastards! Keep preparing for war! Can't you see that I am standing here?"

"..."

Yehe, who brought Grave over, pinched it at the right time, just when Wally was mobilizing his crew, allowing Grave to hear all Wally's words.

The lady carried the flag of the skull, with a scimitar driven through the temple of the skull, and the flag was hoisted on both flagships at the same time.

"Well, so I decided..." Facing Grave's questioning gaze, Ye He grinned happily and replied to Grave:

"Leave this issue to the pirates to consider."

That's why the Imperial Navy's arms research and development focuses on improving the range and hit rate of ship-based artillery. The artillery of armored battleships is indeed much more powerful than that of pirates.

What's going on here? What happened?

Grave was frightened by this terrible fireball!

These are two Cleaners. Ye He calculated the angle and distance and asked Camelot to throw the two Cleaners over!

The explosion coverage of the Cleaners reached ten kilometers, which was enough to make two-thirds of the combined fleet of the two pirate kings disappear in an instant.

Maybe it was only then that he realized why Ye He let him go that night. This Easterner still needed his betrayal and death to allow Greif to better accept his battleship and crew.

"It's the Victoria and the Vicious! Victoria and Wrangel...the two pirate kings have joined forces!"

The crew just lowered their heads when they saw the captain and admiral falling from the sky.

After yelling at the crew members who were still in a daze and asking them to take action, Grave turned back to look at Ye He, who still had a calm expression, and asked him:

"Sir, can you take action? Although we are all armored warships, we can't stop so many of their ships..."

But they still did not move, did not turn their guns to point at the Extraordinary Lady.

"Wally..."

The remaining one-third, including the two flagships, only has about ten ships left, and they can only face the three armored ships on Ye He's side in a head-to-head confrontation!

Grave glanced at Wally, who fell into the sea, and was silent for a moment. Then he looked back at Ye He and confessed to Ye He:

"I will take over this battleship, but there is something wrong with the pirates around. They shouldn't have so many ships. Are the two pirate kings joining forces?"

Ye He explained his little discovery.

"premise?"

Two extremely huge fireballs exploded simultaneously on the pirate ship far behind Ye He.

There was no anger on the general's face. He looked at Wally's back calmly, then turned to Ye He and nodded.

The crew also lowered their heads, which made Wally stunned for a while.

The dazzling light instantly filled Grave's eyes with tears. He had to hide in front of Ye He, who had his back turned to the fireball, and used Ye He's shadow to seek shelter.

There was a gunshot, and Wally fell backwards with a bloody hole in his forehead.

Grave pointed at the pirate ships in all directions and gave Ye He a "hint".

"But they don't look like they dare to carry our artillery fire and come over."

The fleets of the two pirate kings joined forces to surround them. With their small fleet... even if there were three armored warships, it would be difficult for so many pirate ships not to be able to get close to them.

After speaking, Ye He snapped his fingers.

Wally's continuous questions hit the hearts of these crew members. No one would want to die before there was hope of living. The eyes of these crew members gradually brightened.

"Mr. Grave, I have just been thinking about a question these days."

Grave's face looked a little ugly. These two pirate kings were his "old rivals", and one of them was... Grave had thought that this voyage would not be disturbed by pirates.

Grave was stunned for a moment and didn't respond to what Ye He wanted to say.

"Look, now there are only these pirate ships on the front. With the range advantage, don't we no longer have to be afraid?"

Ye He asked Grave with a playful smile.

Grave raised his head and looked at Ye He in astonishment. This Oriental priest, whose back was reflected by the firelight, had the same leisurely and relaxed look in his eyes, unchanging.

But the brilliance of the flames reflected in his dark eyes, making Ye He's eyes look bright, like a demon crawling out of the flaming hell.

Grave suddenly understood.

Catherine asked the priest to escort the fleet. Her Highness indeed had her reasons.

A terrifying man who could set off such a horrific explosion, not to mention a pirate, what about a sea demon?

Grave, who was suddenly filled with courage, turned around and shouted to the crew members on the deck who were trembling with fear from the explosion of the Cleaners:

"You bastards! This is our greeting gift to the pirates! This is Lord Ye He's miracle! The achievement of killing two pirate kings in one go is right in front of you. What are you waiting for? You want the Lord to take action and take away all the achievements. ?"

What? Was this done by our people?

Achievements? right! Achievements!

Each crew member quickly understood what Grave meant, and their breathing became heavier. One by one, they turned around and looked at the Pirate King's flagship ahead.

Although there are about ten pirate ships on the opposite side... we also have three armored warships, and we have Mr. Ye He who can set off such an explosion, so we can definitely fight them!

With the firelight of the Cleaners still lingering on their backs, these crew members seemed to have been infected by Ye He, and their eyes also lit up red.

Just now we were surrounded by the pirate fleet, but now the situation has reversed and we are the one surrounding the pirates. Ironclad battleships have stronger defenses, military artillery with longer range and higher accuracy, and are even more powerful than pirate ships that still rely on sails!

With such a perfect tailwind, no one on the crew could think of a reason not to work frantically and "beat up the drowned dog"!

……

"Mother... mother... is this the strength of Ye... Ekaterina?"

Looking at the two-thirds of the combined fleet that was destroyed in an instant, and the two giant fireballs that were still burning, as if they were about to evaporate the sea, Fiona asked Victoria bitterly with a trembling voice.

Victoria pursed her lips tightly. She knew that her daughter was trembling with fear, but she couldn't scold Fiona for not living up to expectations because her hands were also trembling.

Even though the fleet she brought out was not all of her own strength, and most of the ships that were swallowed up by the flames were Wrangel's ships, she didn't know how to fight this battle.

"Turn around..."

"what?"

"I say turn around!!! Retreat!!! Damn Wrangel! Is Ekaterina the one we can challenge? Retreat!!!"

Victoria's voice resounded throughout the entire deck. The pirates, who had been trembling with fear, woke up from their dreams and immediately controlled the flagship with the same name as Victoria to turn around.

This is not a close battle at all!

Although it was a little faster, Victoria also suffered heavy losses at this time. After all, she was "extremely benevolent" to Wrangel.

More importantly, if that kind of explosion happened on their side...

Victoria, who had no confidence that she could save Fiona's life in that kind of explosion, completely lost the courage to fight head-on with the naval fleet.

Even up to this point, the pirates actually still had enough strength to fight a mere three navy armored warships.

"The Victoria has turned around! Captain, are we..."

On Wrangel's flagship, the Vicious, the first mate of the Vicious was the first to notice that the Victoria had deviated from the course, and quickly asked Wrangel, who was expressionless as he faced the fireball on the Navy side.

"Well, let's retreat too."

Wrangel's tone was calm, as if the destroyed ship was not his own ship, which surprised the first officer, but there was no time for him to hesitate. The navy's armored ship had already rushed over without mercy. If they didn't turn around, it would be too late. .

He quickly conveyed the captain's order, and the Vicious and Victoria turned left and right and fled to both sides.

Wrangel's eyes did not change from the beginning to the end, but his hands, which were tightly clasped together and the fingers were white, still revealed a trace of fear in his heart.

Although he had long been prepared to annihilate his entire army, today's siege was just that he dragged Victoria along to test the power of "Ekaterina".

His real trump card is that he spent all the wealth he accumulated over the years to let the deep sea demon summon those sea demons!

But he didn't expect "Ekaterina" to be so powerful!

Such a terrible explosion... I'm afraid a city will be destroyed instantly, right?

Wrangel couldn't help but feel a little panicked. Can those sea demons... really be able to deal with "Ekaterina"?

The two pirate kings who parted ways tacitly commanded the remaining ships in their fleets, leaving one to rush toward the navy, allowing them to delay the navy's pursuit and help the flagship escape.

The gunfire from the three armored warships turned the two ships into torches in a short time. Under Ye He's instructions, the fleet did not continue to pursue the pirate king who escaped separately, but continued to sail south.

This massive encirclement and suppression of a small naval fleet by the pirate king's combined fleet seemed to have ended with the explosion of the Cleaners, leaving the naval fleet unscathed, and the pirate king's combined fleet being defeated and escaping.

"Hiss... is that... that Ye He's explosive?"

More than ten kilometers away from the center of the Cleaner explosion, a small rowing boat was drifting on the sea. A man standing on the rowing boat was holding up a peculiar small telescope and looking at the flames that were extinguishing in the distance. The dissipated purge.

The boiling sea over there washed the scalding water to his side, and he could still feel the heat through the rowing boat.

Large tracts of cooked fish floated on the sea, and the fresh smell of fish soup floated in the entire sea, making the man swallow his saliva involuntarily.

After putting down the telescope, the man quickly took out a small glass bottle, uncorked it, and shouted into the pitch-black bottle:

"This is No. 4, this is No. 4, Ye He has been confirmed, Ye He has been confirmed, the pirates have been destroyed, the remaining ones fled, Ye He did not pursue, Ye He did not pursue."

After conveying the information in five words, the man held the small bottle to his ear and tipped it over. Some green gelatin flowed out of the bottle and fell into his ear.

"...The message has been received, please return immediately, please return immediately!"

After hearing the instructions from the fleet, the man quickly pointed his nostrils at the mouth of the small bottle, opened his mouth, and the green gelatin flowed out of his nose and fell into the small bottle.

Although this thing is a little disgusting to use, the effect of remote communication is pretty good.

With this thought in mind, the man put the cork back on the bottle and put away the bottle. He took one last look at the mist-shrouded sea in the distance, smacked his lips, then picked up an oar and quickly paddled the kayak.

I don’t know how he did it, but he actually rowed this small kayak at a very fast speed, racing all the way on the sea.

In just half an hour, he had moved dozens of kilometers and arrived at his own fleet that was moored on the sea. The dropped cable was connected to an armored warship.

Stepping onto the deck, the man looked up at the Federal Navy flag on the mast, and had a rare urge to retire and go home.

"Go and rest, Jack, we have to continue chasing the Empire's fleet."

The passing first mate said something to the man, and then announced the captain's order for the dozen or so federal fleets to pull anchor and set sail.

"Ok."

Jack also returned to his cabin to rest. He was just an ordinary scout, but he confirmed that the information he came back was important.

Ye He is in the Imperial Navy's fleet, so there is no need for the Federation Navy's fleet to rush forward and ask for trouble.

Following the imperial fleet at a similar speed and keeping a safe enough distance is the most correct pace of action for these federal naval fleets.

They still don't know what "big gift" will be waiting for them in a few days.

Greif, who was glowing red, returned to the Extraordinary Lady in a small boat. The battleship left behind by Wally was already under his control and there would be no more problems.

Yehe flew away alone when the navy's armored battleship rushed towards the pirate ship, so Grave had to come back by himself, but he had no complaints.

Because what Ye He said to him before leaving was: "I will go to the pirates to have a look."

As long as the adult is happy, Grave is no longer nervous at this time and is waiting to take over the large vacant sea area left by the "disappeared" pirates after completing this voyage.

Well, Ye He went to the pirates. The reason why the pirates "disappeared" shouldn't require him to write an extra report, right?

"Mr. Grave? Oh, Ye He must have gone to the pirates, right?"

Floy took Weino, who was a little excited because he saw the explosion of the Cleaners, into the cabin from the back deck, said hello to Grave who happened to meet him, and then returned to their and Ye He's room with a smile. inside.

These two female companions of Ye He didn't have to worry about themselves, and Grave felt even more comfortable.

……

On the Victoria, which ran dozens of kilometers in one breath, Victoria finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the navy had not caught up.

The pirate king, who seemed to have aged dozens of years suddenly, turned around and looked at Fiona, who still had beads of sweat on her forehead.

She reached out to wipe away the cold sweat from Fiona, but when she raised her hand, she realized that her own hands were also covered in cold sweat, so she put her hand on Fiona's shoulder and patted it, signaling Fiona to follow her back to the captain's cabin. , discuss what they should do next.

But as soon as Victoria opened the door to the captain's cabin, she saw a man with an oriental face sitting on her seat, playing with a skull ornament she had placed on the table.
