878 Betrayal (1/2)
”Fire!”
Undoubtedly, using Sun to charge into the enemy base alone was extremely dangerous. To put it bluntly, it was no different from suicide.
The Mermaid Pirates immediately responded by concentrating their firepower on Sun.
In an instant, over a hundred artillery shells hit the ship, exploding in bouts of flames.
Kaboom!
This barrage of cannon fire did not even bring a slight vibration to ship.
Fang Yuan was calm, looking intently at the data window that was only visible to the commander.
Receiving bombardment, activating anti-matter forcefield!
Assessment for this bombardment intensity: 1! Evaluation: Even if no defensive measures are taken, this bombardment will require a full day to break through the ship's armor!
Robot Engineers standby, be ready to move out to repair the ship!
Attack encountered, main and secondary cannons are ready. Commander, do we retaliate?
…
Despite the ferocity of the bombardment, even ordinary ironclads would survive, so it was a piece of cake for Sun's defenses.
Fang Yuan looked at the pirate ship closeby and waved. ”Counterattack!”
Secondary cannons standing by, targeting, fire!
Bang! Bang!
Amid the sound of machines, Sun's secondary cannons started firing.
Two bouts of flame exploded on the sea.
Even Sun's secondary cannons had a horrifying caliber size, and a single shot could level half a football field.
No wooden ship on the sea would be able to survive a shot from the secondary cannons.
That was also without taking into consideration that Sun's cannons could be augmented, and no shots would miss. After a round of cannon fire, the ferocious pirates who believed that they had found themselves a bargain had lost ten ships.
”Tsk tsk… is this the power of a legendary pirate ship?” Even Pirate Prince Edward was dumbfounded. ”This cannon fire must have sunk five of their first-level warships? Even if Kingsman didn't die earlier, his heart would have been broken into pieces by this sight!”
”I think that Kingsman is dead. Otherwise, why would there no response from Sea God… It won't do me any good worrying about him. As long as I can take control of the ship, there will be no more problems.”
The fleet's core, Sea God, finally started to take action.
A grand prayer song resounded from its deck.
There was a vaguely visible young mermaid on the deck praying.
Along with her high-pitched voice, the illusion of a fiercely roaring god appeared on Sea God's blue sail.
Kaboom!
Clouds gathered and blocked the sun.
Endless waves surfaced on the sea. Coupled with the struggle of the Island Turtle King, it was though the end of the world had arrived.
Splash!
The waves churned, as though a giant beast hidden beneath the sea was flipping about recklessly. The waves grew taller and taller.
”This is bad. It's tsunamis and whirlpools!” Edward frowned as he looked at the forming giant whirlpool that separated Sea God and Sun. ”Since that mermaid has this much control over Sea God, she must be a trusted aide of Kingsman!”
”It's just a whirlpool. We'll rush past it!” Fang Yuan ordered, ”Open the anti-gravitational field, full power!”
Roger! Remaining energy at 20%!
Immediately, Sun dialed up its speed to the max. Like a speedboat, it sped past the whirlpool, leaving a white trail of waves, and arrived in front of Sea God.
Roar! Roar!
At the same time, the Island Turtle King finally awakened. Carrying a Pirate King City, it chased after Sun by paddling with all four legs.
Large amounts of sea monsters appeared near the Island Turtle King and surrounded a large ship with a blood-colored sail.
The large ship looked ferocious. Its ram and bow were all made in the image of ferocious beasts and fangs, and the ship's hull was decorated with many sea monster patterns.
”Pirate King City's guardian, King's Throne!”
Edward could feel the hairs on his neck stand up upon seeing King's Throne.
After all, this legendary pirate ship had protected Pirate King City for many years, and even the Ettoman navy found it extremely difficult to deal with.
If Fang Yuan was not at his side, he would have immediately returned to Wanderer and leave this region.
”Did it finally appear?”
Fang Yuan smiled coldly and sounded a pitch-black horn.
Whoo! Whoo!
With the desolate sound of the horn, a thick mist appeared.
A large, translucent ship seemed to appear from the netherworld.
”It's Specter Ship!”
”That ghost ship!”
”It will kill any sailor! That ship is full of undead creatures!”
”We're finished!”
…
Legends about Specter Ship were not to be taken lightly, especially for pirates.
The sight of Specter Ship paralyzed many ordinary pirates. They collapsed on the deck and were unable to move for a good while.
”Target… King's Throne! Attack!”
