Chapter 34: 34. Wolf Ate Elephant

On the Ares, Nahum timidly hid in the room, watching the movement of the Black Pearl through the glass window.

The Black Pearl was pursuing the transport ship. On the sea, there was a dramatic scene of a mediumship chasing a large ship. It was like a hungry wolf hunting an elephant.

"Lucky! My Lucky!"

Nahum ran out of the house. His neatly combed hair spread out. Others helped him to the deck. He shouted the name of the tactician as if he was calling for help.

At this critical juncture, the fate of the two ships rests entirely on the tactician. Without waiting for Nahum to appear, he had already started to organize sailors to repair the ship and took out the signal flag.

"Hurry up and find a way to help me get through this difficult time. I'll give you a lot of money!" Nahum said excitedly, pulling the tactician.

"I understand, I understand! I will try my best. Don't forget that my life is also tied to this ship." The tactician reassured him with relative calm.

Nahum nodded. He was sweating with anxiety.

The sailors on the ship ran back and forth. They had a lot of things to do.

"Don't worry about any wounded for the time being. Everyone hurry up to repair the ship!" The tactician shouted hurriedly, "Flag bearer! Order the Lucky to deal with the pirate ship and then move closer to this Ares!"

The fleet relied on signal flags to issue orders. There were a total of 46 signal flags, 26 letter flags, 10 digital flags, 4 direction flags, 3 substitute flags, 1 execution flag, 1 permission flag, and 1 international promise flag. The 46 flags could form many orders, including battle orders of course.

The flag-bearer stood nervously at the top of the mast, holding a flag in each hand, waving constantly.

The captain of the Lucky looked at the semaphore through the binoculars and commanded the ship according to the flagship's orders.

And the Black Pearl also paid attention to this semaphore. Among the nautical knowledge that Tonk got naturally included identifying the semaphore so that he could see the intention of the prey.

"Can't let Lucky pass by! We must intercept it halfway. Go collide it!"

Tonk decisively ordered.

The pirates of the Black Pearl responded one after another, adjusting the sails step by step. The fighters were also all in their positions. They suffered very little loss in the round of shelling just now. They were in the full state at this point.

Lucky approached the Ares clunky. Its speed was slower than that of the Black Pearl. After all, Lucky was full of cargo and almost reached the critical point of displacement. The Lucky was trying to close to the Ares, and the Black Pearl aggressively tried to ram and intercept it.

The captain of the Lucky urgently ordered the ship to turn around and aimed the side gun muzzle at the Black Pearl. If the Black Pearl still rammed forward, it would face the relentless fire of the Lucky.

"Captain, what should we do!?" the lookout shouted.

"Don't be afraid. We are pirates! Raise the sails and hit it!" Tonk shouted majestically, taking the helm of the boat.

Sailors had no objection. They were thugs who despised life. Their dogma was to seek wealth at risk. The Black Pearl was hoisted full of sails and hung an extra of sails on the mast. Under the blow of the sea breeze, the canvas was blown so full, and the mast groaned about breaking.

"Thank you, Black Pearl," Tonk murmured.

He glanced at the system interface and found that the durability of the Black Pearl was decreasing a little bit. The mast could not withstand such a strong wind.

The Black Pearl rushed into the shooting range of the Lucky without hesitation. A row of shells roared. One of which hit the figurehead and half of the dragon's head face was knocked out. Fortunately, the Black Pearl faced the cannon fire vertically and only two cannons were facing them.

The people on the Lucky watched in despair as the enemy ships approached quickly. The gunners and the archers carried out long-range strikes. Although the archers were less destructive, they shot more frequently, posing a great threat to the sailors on the deck.

The Black Pearl held its head high. The ramming horn wrapped in the metal shell shone brightly and suddenly penetrated the Lucky, poking a hole in the hull. It was like a sharp blade that went straight into the belly. The Black Pearl quickly dropped part of its sails, which relieved the danger of a broken mast. The rest used small cannons on the deck to fire shots, attacking Lucky's crew and masts.

Artillery fire flew for a while. The wailing and battle cry was intertwined into a song of killing!

The Black Pearl had plunged into the Lucky so the two ships became inextricably linked. The speed suddenly slowed down under this situation. The captain of the Lucky wussed out. He directed the ship to slam forward and wanted to throw the Black Pearl out.

The two ships didn't have long to shoot at each other. Both sides' ammunition was quickly emptied. The work of loading the ammunition began. Only the gun professional One-eyed could continuously change guns and shoot. The archers were shooting arrows frequently. Both boats were full of arrows like hedgehogs.

"It's time. Guys! Charge!" Tonk raised his sword and shouted. The four hook sailors in front of him opened the way, and the four hooks were accurately thrown on the side of the opponent's ship.

But before the pirates on this side made any moves, the battle team leader of the opposite ship couldn't hold it in any longer. He jumped on the Black Pearl with a scream.

Tonk took a closer look. The visitor turned out to be the orc he met on the street that day. His name was Big Tooth. Tonk remembered he smashed the back of the opponent's head with a brick.

Big Tooth's eyes were already red. His forehead was bleeding and two arrows were inserted into his plump muscles. He was holding two heavy wolfsbanes in his hand. It was unstoppable for a while. Two pirates were immediately smashed and flew out. Their skulls cracked and their deaths were extremely tragic.

Tonk dragged the great sword and charged forward. This was a loop guard, aiming to use the power of the run-up to make a frontal slash. After he approached Big Tooth, he swung the big sword from behind him to the front with a sword energy attached to the blade.

Big Tooth set up his wolfsbane. His strength was heavy. The wolfsbane collided with the big sword, and the big sword just bounced off!

Tonk's purlicue was cracked, but he remained calm in the face of danger. Taking advantage of the situation, he turned around, took out the pistol at his waist, and shouted, "Open your mouth!"

Big Tooth was screaming just right.

Tonk fired a sniper's gun, but the bullet missed. It only hit Big Tooth's side face, tearing open a wound that even the skull was exposed to.

Big Tooth was so angry that he exuded fighting energy. A crimson airflow shot up into the sky, like a burning flame. He dashed forward in a frenzy without any skill, just the simplest smash.

Tonk fled back in embarrassment, picked up the sword in a hurry, and resisted it, but was easily smashed into the air. A loyal sailor came to help, but it was nothing more than death.

Big Tooth stepped on the deck crunching. The wolfsbane in his hand was about to fall. Tonk secretly screamed badly, regretting that he didn't learn a powerful sword skill.

At this critical juncture, a bullet pierced through the wound on Big Tooth's head, causing devastating damage.

With that, Tonk narrowly escaped the wolfsbane's hammer.

This life-saving shot was due to One-eyed. He took off the left eye patch, revealing the Nether Eye. His left eye saw the state of everyone's soul. In his eye, everyone was like a foggy fluorescent body marked with red points.

But using this ability came at a price. After opening the left eye, One-eyed would feel an inexplicable chill of fear, which made it impossible to open it for too long.

Big Tooth's body as tall as a mountain staggered to the ground and the fighting energy just now was extinguished like a flame.

Tonk breathed a sigh of relief, snatched the other sailors' scimitars, and directed the sailors to attack again. This time they successfully board Lucky.

Lucky was not only inferior in firepower but also the combat effectiveness of sailors was low. Tonk's blade sailor could beat two or three of them by himself. A group of pirates slaughtered like crazy. The two sides fought fiercely on the deck of the Lucky. The corpses were piled up like sandbags and the deck was flooded with blood.

Seeing that the general situation was set, One-eyed decided to take a risk and carry out a widespread attack. All the gunmen and archers in the boathouse out together. This group of people boarded the ship, and Lucky fell into a complete route. The deck was cleared by the pirates and they rushed into the cabin in one go.

There were several entrances to enter the cabin, so the pirates could only be divided into several groups. Tonk and One-eyed each lead a team.

Tonk moved forward attentively with two pirates with shields in front of him. The cabin was filled with gunpowder smoke. There were neatly stacked medicine boxes in the cargo hold.

A small number of sailors were stubbornly resisting. The captain of the Luck has committed suicide in the captain's room

The moral of the Lucky dropped, and the remaining sailors gathered together, shouting surrender and begging for mercy.

The pirates came together. Some of them continued to look for the remaining enemies. Most of them gathered around the surrendering sailors, waiting for Tonk's order.

Tonk saw that there were only a dozen sailors left. They were not a threat. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Throw them into the sea, whatever they will live or die. Although we are pirates, we don't have to drive them to extinction."

If thrown into the sea under such circumstances, the survival rate was very low. The sailors were still begging for mercy, and even suggested to Tonk: "Great pirate captain, you can tie us up! Why do you need to throw us into the sea?!"

Tonk didn't talk nonsense with these sailors. He was already kind enough not to kill them. These people worked for Nahum. It was not a pity to die. He told the pirates to hurry up and use tough means to throw the Lucky sailors into the sea.
