Before Tangke could make a move, the pirates on this ship became restless again and shouted: "A ship was found at 11 degrees on the port side! It's a medium-sized merchant ship, and it may be full of cargo."
The pirates ran to the northwest side of the hull one after another and looked in the direction of the merchant ship, but the merchant ship also saw the pirate ship and turned around like a plague god.
Tangke's heart was beating wildly, and this change interrupted his chance to strike. He found that Kedar was watching him, so he had to return a dry smile and decided to wait and see.
"Everyone all take your places, adjust the sails, change the course, and let's catch up!" Kedar gave an order, and the pirates moved, forming their own formations and restarting the moored ship.
Tangke felt that the appearance of the merchant ship was a good opportunity. He didn't act rashly. He stood there with his arms crossed and watched the pirates busy.
Kedar turned his head, grabbed Tangke's collar, and pulled it closer to his fierce face. He said in a low voice, "I'm going to rob the ship. If you want to join us, you can do it now. Go and bring your little wreck to follow, and we'll flank the merchant ship. If you dare to escape, I promise you will die the next time you see the Black Toad Pirates. But if you behave well, I'll give you a little bit loot of this time."
"Okay, I understand," Tangke said with a smile and pushed away the black-haired hand on the back of the other party.
Kedar snorted, strode to the bow, and pointed on halfway, warning those pirates who dissatisfied him.
Tangke turned around immediately, holding the guardrail with his left hand, he rolled over and jumped down, landing on the deck of the Whirlwind.
Sailors anxiously inquired about the outcome of the negotiations, no one was willing to surrender.
Tangke pointed to the distance and said, "There is a merchant ship over there, and the people from Black Toad will go and rob them. The people of Black Toad don't take us seriously at all, but it doesn't matter, we will make them regret it. There are only more than 70 of them, so it's not that we have no chance of winning.”
"We can go up and take advantage of it while they fight with the merchant ships. Do you have the guts to go and grab that big ship with me, rookies?" He looked at the sailors with burning eyes.
The sailors were silent for a while, and then shouted together: "Yes! Let's go and teach them a lesson and let them know how powerful we are! Kill!"
"Shh! Be quiet!" Tangke made a gesture of silence, turned to look at the pirate ship, and found that the man from Black Toad had gone far away, so he was relieved. He turned back and continued, "Let's catch up, but don't follow too closely and play it by ear."
In this way, the small ship Whirlwind sneaked behind the Black Toad pirates, chasing the merchant ship together.
Kedar operated the rudder on the bridge of the three-sail medium-sized ship. His left hand was a gun barrel, so he can only hold the rudder with one hand. After listening to his subordinate's report on the Whirlwind, he smiled contemptuously. He thought that the Whirlwind just wanted to be a follower, and he never thought that the people of the Whirlwind would dare to attack them.
Black Toad's boat was like a shark, chasing its prey. The merchant ship tried its best to escape, but it couldn't get rid of the black toad pirate ship that was approaching menacingly at the stern.
The top of the mast on the merchant ship has a small flag with a mandrake drawn on it, and the ship was called the Mandela.
The female captain, Elizabeth, stood at the stern, holding the monocular in her white hands, watching every move of the pirate ship. She frowned, her slender eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was anxiety and worry in her beautiful eyes.
"Hurry up and drop all the heavy things on the boat. This will make the boat lighter. Whether it's cargo or buckets, drop them away!" Elizabeth put down the telescope and ordered decisively.
She walked up and down the deck, still graceful at this critical moment. She wears white skinny trousers, which outline a woman's graceful curves in tightness, and when she steps, the dovetail of the dress will be swayed, and her round buttocks can be seen at that time.
The sailors hurriedly threw buckets of seasonings into the sea. These seasonings were luxury items that can only be enjoyed by nobles, and each bucket was very valuable. The maritime trade in the era of great voyages has attractive profits, but such huge profits were accompanied by corresponding risks.
"Captain, the shells are very heavy, do you want to throw them too?" asked the very old sailor.
Elizabeth hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't throw away the gunpowder and shells, they may be used later." She turned her head to look at the approaching pirate ship, revealing her delicate neck.
An inevitable naval battle was likely to break out after a while.
Her hand held the hilt of the sword at her waist, and there was a flintlock bolt pistol pinned to her waist. Although she was a woman, she had a heroic demeanor.
A reef appeared in front of the Mandela, and the ship had to turn to avoid it, which made the distance with the Black Toad pirate ship even closer. There was a haze in the hearts of the sailors on the merchant ship. The Black Toad Pirates were the most vicious pirates on this route. They were extremely aggressive and often brutally slaughter the resisting ships!
After the ship that no living men left was scuttled, it would sink into the sea little by little. At that time, the sea surface would be dyed red, and sharks from a dozen miles away would be attracted by the smell of blood.
Before it was fully approached, the black toad pirate ship had issued an attack order. The pirates turned their attention to the door panel of the deck, and there were clanging footsteps below. The door panel was opened, and a giant black toad climbed out. It was the size of a grinding disc, and its slippery body was full of pimples making people frown.
The black toad opened his mouth to speak, and said with a long tongue, "Kedar, what's the matter with calling me out?"
"Of course it's a battle, my little pet. I want you to take the toads and smash the merchant ship in front." Kedar said arrogantly.
Black Toad made a dissatisfied voice and said angrily: "We are not your pets! Remember, we are in a contractual relationship!"
"Be content, it's good that I didn't call you a slave."
Although the black toad was dissatisfied, it obediently walked up to the bow of the boat. It stretched out its sticky flesh-colored tongue, and the tip of the tongue curled flexibly, holding a cannonball in the iron basket in its mouth. It spat out and cheek bulged high, and the cannonball was spat out by it, flying parabolically, and landed on the sea at the stern of the Mandela, causing a splash of water.
This kind of toad was the capital of the black toad pirate group running rampant in the sea. Their scientific name was called bomb-spitting frogs. They had a range that exceeds that of ordinary artillery. And they didn't require manual operation. They could aim themselves and be more accurate than artillery.
This was where the name of the Black Toad Pirates came from.
This ship has a full fifteen bomb-spitting frogs. When fighting against a ship of the same size, if the opponent was equipped with ordinary artillery, this ship can completely suppress them.
"It's not enough, add more strength!" Kedar kicked the big toad violently, turned around, and shouted, "Come on, call a few more toads out!"
Three more bomb-spitting frogs crawled out from below the deck and dragged their fat bodies to the bow, leaving sticky marks along the way. They took on the responsibility of the gunners, venting the shells one by one toward Mandela. This was another advantage of spit frogs, they were more flexible than gun carts and can be placed anywhere on the ship.
While firing, the Black Toad Pirates chased Mandela. After the Mandela slipped into the attack range, the first solid shell shattered its hull, and sawdust splashed, revealing a large hole. A frantic battle cry erupted from the pirate ship.
"Have you seen the flag? This is Mandela, and their captain is a woman. It is said that she is very beautiful!" A bald pirate with few hairs left laughed.
"Remember to catch the live one, and keep it for me!" Kedar shouted with lust, he didn't mind catching a temporary boat press lady.
The Black Toad pirate ship launched a frantic attack on the Mandela, shell after shell, including chain bullets that hit the mast, and solid iron bullets that shattered the hull. The Mandela was also an armed ship, but it was obviously inferior in firepower, with only five small cannons on the deck and eight large cannons protruding from the hull.
Elizabeth looked at the damaged hull, her face paled a bit, and she bit her tender lips lightly, not knowing what she was thinking. The sailors on the ship were all timid. The shot just now injured two people, one was unconscious, and the other was screaming.
"Captain, why don't we surrender to the pirates!" A panicked little sailor raised his head and said.
Elizabeth drew out her sword with a clatter, put it on the neck of the little sailor, and said helplessly: "It's useless. They are flying the pirate flag of the black toad. These people are desperadoes! Even if we surrender, it will not change the fate of being killed. If you want to live, you have to fight them to the death. Be brave, boy, like me, take up your sword!"
The little sailor was foolishly there. It was the first time he went out to sea and the first time he faced the cruelty of this sea.
"All preparations, fire!"
The female captain drew her sword and shouted. The crisp voice overwhelmed the roar of the artillery fire and went straight through the sky!
The pirate ship and the merchant ship kicked off the battle. They attacked each other at sea. The sound of the cannons was deafening. The sea was blasted with huge waves. The two ships stopped at sea to fight as if they were dueling.
In order to prevent the hull from being overturned by the recoil of the artillery, the artillery on the Mandela can only fire in sequence, and it takes many steps to reload the shells, and the interval between firings takes three minutes. But the bomb-spitting frog did not have these concerns and problems and was able to launch continuously and dealt a tragic blow to Mandela.
After the two rounds of shelling by the bomb-spitting frog, Mandela had been hit with a lot of holes.
This was the gap between the bomb-spitting frog and the artillery.
Tangke and the others had been following closely behind, waiting to make a move when both sides were injured. After watching the battle for a while, Tangke changed his mind. If he rashly went to attack the pirate ship, he might attract the firepower of the pirate ship to his side, and the merchant ship would choose to take the opportunity to escape. The only way to do it was to communicate with the merchant ships and make a joint attack agreement.
"Guys, hang up our pirate flag! Turn the sails to find the direction of the wind, rush past at maximum speed, and approach the merchant ship from behind." Tangke used the ability of a fast-moving ship to increase the speed of the ship through the command.
The pirate flag of the Whirlwind was also hoisted. The square flag was painted with a skull and crossbones below. This was the classic pattern of the pirate flag.
Tangke used actions to tell others that they were also a group of pirates!
Before Tangke could make a move, the pirates on this ship became restless again and shouted: "A ship was found at 11 degrees on the port side! It's a medium-sized merchant ship, and it may be full of cargo."
