However, those who owned ordinary warships would probably be stunned if they encountered this situation where their attacks could not break the defense of the pirate ships. Besides, if it wasn’t a fleet of similar size, how could it go to attack multiple pirate ships at the same time, and still maintain a sufficient intensity of attacks?
Of course, those problems were only for others to consider. The firepower of The Star was not what an ordinary battleship could compare to. After Lin Li told his discovery to Julio, the pirate leader who had a rich experience in battles and was in charge of issuing commands during the battle, the latter immediately developed a new battle plan for the situation.
This time, the battle immediately changed, and The Star first bombarded a single pirate ship. After attracting enough defense, the backup magical weapons immediately blasted at the pirate ship at the side that was weakening. The attacks of the several mana cannons instantly broke the defense of the pirate ship, and formed a few huge holes in the front and back. The seawater surged in in large amounts, and the wrecked pirate ship was pulled to the bottom of the sea in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that they had suffered some losses, the pirates immediately intensified their attacks on The Star without caring about their own safety at all. They were truly desperadoes. Although The Star was powerful, it faced a fleet of nearly 20 well-equipped ships, after all.
Soon, under the strong attack of the pirate ships, The Star began to show signs of serious damage. If it wasn’t repaired in time, it might cause a considerable impact on the battleship. In particular, The Star might not have been blasted by the pirates’ ships, but the massive impact still caused the power system to suffer some problems.
Seeing such a situation, Lin Li’s heart was filled with regret. After all, it was not the real The Star. In the world created by Geresco, there wouldn’t be such pirates that created trouble even when he was facing the High Elves’ fleet that had the upper hand.
Of course, The Star was gradually falling under the attack of the pirate fleet, but it was not enough to make Lin Li feel worried. He just found it a pity that The Star which he had put in effort to build was worlds apart from the real The Star in terms of firepower and defense.
As problems began to occur with the power system, the firepower of The Star gradually began to weaken, especially the Magical Crystal Cannons that required mana. At the same time, the magic shield that was initially very solid clearly became extremely fragile now, as if it was a bubble that might burst at any time.
At this moment, the pirate ships also began pushing closer to The Star once again. The 10-odd battleships were surrounding The Star, and aiming their cannons at it. However, they did not immediately launch an attack. Obviously, the pirates intended to seize The Star. After all, the counterattack launched by The Star just now had already displayed its extraordinary firepower and performance.
However, in the face of the hundreds of cannons on the pirate ships that were ready to fire, Lin Li, who was watching the situation outside with the crowd, did not seem worried in the slightest. It was just a ship which didn’t mean much to Lin Li. Even if they wanted The Star to capsize, they wouldn’t be able to harm Lin Li and the others.
Not to mention Lin Li, an advanced Sanctuary powerhouse, the Legendary powerhouses like Claus and Elvan also had the ability to fly directly to the pirates’ ships to create a devastating disaster for them. Although it was unlikely for the pirates to have the support of Sanctuary powerhouses, Lin Li was someone not to be trifled with.
The main reason why Lin Li did not make a move was to test the fighting ability of The Star. After all, it was only the first time The Star participated in a sea battle. Although Lin Li was knowledgeable and learned, he was not a master shipbuilder, and those involved in the construction of The Star, too, did not have prior experience in manufacturing such a huge ship. Therefore, Lin Li could only find out the issues with The Star after testing it.
At this moment, the pirates’ ships were already quite close to The Star, and even the sailors on both decks were able to see each other clearly. There was a pirate standing on the watchtower of the flagship, holding a magic device that would amplify his voice. He yelled, “Those on the ship opposite, listen up, this ship has been taken over by us. All of you, get out of the cabin immediately and put your weapons down. Put your hands on your heads and kneel on the deck!”
When that pirate shouted, three Legendary powerhouses in the pilothouse of the flagship grinned while sizing up The Star that was soon to become their own. They were the leader and deputy heads of the pirates, and were known to all that made a living at sea.
The leader of the pirates was a middle-aged man with a mustache who was donning the uniform of a naval officer of the Gilded Kingdom. However, there was a skull on the emblem on his chest. Such contemptuous practice against the Gilded Kingdom’s navy was considered unique in the Endless Ocean. Those who knew a little about the Endless Ocean would immediately think of the Sea Demon King, Omula.
Among the various legends of the Endless Ocean, the Sea Demon King Omula could be considered a very legendary figure that would give even the navy of the Gilded Kingdom a huge headache. He had led a band of pirates named the Sea Demons, and dominated the sea for decades. All prey that he had set his sights on would never be able to escape.
In fact, legend had it that his fleet had been engaged in many battles against the Gilded Kingdom’s fleet, and the naval officer uniform that he was wearing was stolen from a Gilded Kingdom’s warship after they captured it. The fact that they had the audacity to seize even the Gilded Kingdom’s navy ships was evidence of how bold the Sea Demon King was. He often wore that military uniform to mock the Gilded Kingdom’s navy.
The two people next to the Sea Demon King Omula were just as famous as him in the Endless Ocean. One of them was Jerat, who was known as the Sea’s Venom, while the other was Sobnar, who was known as the Serpent of The Sea. The two of them were Omula’s most trusted right-hand men and the deputy heads of the Sea Demons.
“Chief, we’re really lucky today. We were just on a routine rampage, and we managed to catch such a big fish. From the draft of this ship, you can tell how many goods there must be in it. Besides, they’re also equipped with so many weapons, they’re definitely transporting valuable items,” Jerat said excitedly, rubbing his hands together. The Gilded Kingdom’s flag was not hung on The Star, and they had never seen the emblem on The Star before, either. Hence, they reckoned that The Star was probably an armed merchant ship from the mainland.
“We just have to make minor changes to this ship, and it’ll be ready to be our new flagship. Its power can be fully exhibited only in our hands.” Sobnar was not only the deputy head of Sea Demons, he was also an expert in shipbuilding who basically modified all the ships of the Sea Demons. Hence, while Jerat was concerned about the value of the goods on board, he was concerned about the value of the ship. In his eyes, the value of the ship was obviously higher than that of the goods.
After hearing their words, Omula looked increasingly smug. “Not bad. After we get this ship, you’ll be in charge of the transformation and modifications.”
“Haha, don’t worry, Chief, this ship is surely going to become our most powerful fortress after I transform it,” Sobnar said, patting his chest.
Just when the three men were discussing what to do after seizing The Star, a pirate ran in from outside, and saluted before saying, “Chief, those people on that ship are not moving at all. Do you think we are ready to board the ship?”
However, at this moment, Omula did not give orders immediately, and instead waved his hand to dismiss his subordinates before turning around and going to the rear of the pilothouse. It turned out that there was actually a person in a black robe with a large hood that covered his face seated in the pilothouse, appearing extraordinarily mysterious.
Omula, who was called the Sea Demon King by the outsiders, did not seem arrogant at all. Instead, he saluted the black-robed man respectfully before saying, “Lord, the people on that ship are not responding, and we’re getting ready to send our men to board the ship and seize it. What do you think?”
However, the black-robed man did not immediately answer him. After a moment of silence, he assented faintly and agreed to Omula’s request. Honestly, this was considered very rude, but Omula did not get angry at all. After hearing the black-robed man’s response, he saluted respectfully, and then retreated.
Omula, who had returned to the front, regained his arrogant aura, and immediately ordered his subordinates to board the ship and fight.
When orders were given out to seize The Star on the flagship of the pirates’ fleet, the people on The Star didn’t feel nervous at all. What a joke, they had an advanced Sanctuary powerhouse and a large bunch of peak Legendary powerhouses. How could they be shocked by a bunch of pirates?
“Seems like the Gilded Kingdom’s fleet isn’t that great, after all. They actually let the pirates come all the way here. Any further and they’ll reach their capital.” Claus shook his head slightly, looking as if he was finding the Gilded Kingdom’s defense pitiful, but he was actually just mocking them.
Indeed, the Gilded Kingdom was known as the best kingdom in nautical technology in Anril which had an invincible fleet across the Endless Ocean. Yet, the pirates actually showed up at their door, and no one of the Gilded Kingdom was present. That was truly a slap in their face.
“Don’t mention that. It seems that we can’t make it for dinner on Four Seasons Island.” Elvan had already recovered from the impact of the Void Spirit Mageweath, and began joking with the others.
“Why? Is my cooking terrible!?” As the chef of The Star, Cardson immediately jumped out when he heard that someone wanted to eat elsewhere.
Of course, Cardson was just joking. Although he was now a pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouse, he didn’t have the habit of treating those below the Sanctuary-realm as insignificant ants, especially since he had been running his own small restaurant where he would chat happily even with ordinary people.
After traveling together on the sea for a while, the others had also gained some understanding of Cardson’s character, so they could tell that he wasn’t really blaming them. Hence, they started talking to Cardson about the food ingredients of Anril, completely forgetting the matter of being surrounded by pirates.
Lin Li couldn’t help but shake his head and half-jokingly chide the technicians who were fixing the battleship’s technical issues, “Hurry up and get the ship fixed early so we can go to Four Seasons Island for dinner. If you can’t fix it, you’ll all go hungry at night!”
However, the pirates outside had already yelled several times at this point. They then started a countdown and threatened to sink them together with the ship if they didn’t do as they were told.
Finally, Cardson and others got tired of listening to them, and said to Lin Li, “Felic, those guys out there are so noisy. We’d better get rid of them early.”
“Yes, President Felic, we’ve gained a lot of free benefits throughout this journey. Now, it’s time to put in some effort.” After saying that, Claus called the others along and left the cabin.
When they saw that someone had finally walked out on The Star, the pirates on the ship outside thought that they were finally scared and were going to surrender. However, before they could even cheer for long, they suddenly saw those who came out of the cabin flying up into the air. They finally reacted and realized that they were all Legendary powerhouses.
A few Legendary-mages on The Star flew up into the sky and started waving the staffs in their hands without uttering a single word. They began to pour mana out towards the surrounding pirate ships too. Thunderbolts, ice, flames, and all sorts of magic spells began to light up the place. However, that had become the nightmare of the pirates because they did not expect to encounter so many Legendary-mages.
At the same time that the Legendary-mages bombarded the pirates’ ships with a large number of magic spells, a few Legendary Sword Sages jumped up from the deck of The Star. However, they did not fly into the air, and instead landed hard on the decks of several pirate ships like cannonballs.
