C4155 Covering the Sky!
With just one shot, the pirates that wanted to attack were completely annihilated. This was the cannon on the bow of the warship. This was also the Eight Desolations Cannon. The difference was that it did not reduce its power to reduce the weight of the cannon. The side walls of the warship needed to take into account the density and fire coverage. The size of the cannon was destined to be too big, so it could only reduce its power. Until now, the Cyanwood Manufacturing could not shrink the size and its power did not change.
The Eight Desolations Cannon on the bow of the warship was not only powerful, but its range was also far. It was usually used on large warships. This pirate was lucky to have this cannon.
The biggest inconvenience of naval warfare was that the items that the pirates dropped after their death could not be picked up. It was a waste of many equipment. Even if there were frogmen and ghosts, there were still many items that were missed. If it was on land, even if it was just a small copper coin, it would still be on the ground. It could be seen, so there was no need to worry about it disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The depth of the sea was usually more than two hundred meters. If one wanted to dive so deep to search for an item, the difficulty could make one give up. The situation at the bottom of the sea was unclear. The seaweed was dense and uneven. If there was a gully, even the most persistent person would despair.
An island appeared in his field of vision. Not far away from the island was a dense number of pirate ships. The pirates had obviously long aimed at the fleet and had deliberately divided it into two sides, wanting to form a pincer attack on the fleet.
"This update is really big." Dongfang Qingyu held the telescope and carefully observed the situation of the island. The island was very big, more than three times bigger than Peach Blossom Island. There were many houses and buildings on the island, and there were also simple defensive structures. The pirate positions were messy, and it looked like there were many people.
This island was not very advantageous to the fleet. The beach was too long. If the fleet approached it, it would be easy to be stranded. If they did not approach, the number of people would inevitably be insufficient. Moreover, the pirates on the other side would not allow the fleet to calmly bombard the pirates.
Dongfang Qingyu looked at the nautical chart. He had walked through this sea more than once, but there was no such island. Now, it appeared on the Path of Return. The person in charge of drawing the nautical chart quickly drew it on the map. This trip out to sea was the biggest mission. It was to draw an accurate nautical chart.
"If we can occupy this island, the people who come later will have to be obedient." Yangzhou Ninth Monster said.
"There's no if." Dongfang Qingyu said casually, "I will take down the island and you guys will deal with the pirates. Let's see who is faster."
"I like this kind of competition." Half a cup of Hongdou Milk Tea's eyes burned with fighting spirit.
"I was just itching to fight." Erniao and Three Buddhas looked at each other. Although Dongfang Qingyu was pretty and her words were gentle, the things she did were extremely domineering, which suited their tastes.
"I wish you guys good luck!" Dongfang Qingyu came to the secret room and took out the Soul Summoning Flag. With a Teleportation, she appeared in the sky above the island. Before the pirates on the island could react, the sky suddenly turned black, and dark clouds covered the sky. The temperature in the air dropped rapidly, and the pirates suddenly raised their heads. They could no longer see anything clearly. They only felt a cold wind blowing, and they heard terrifying sounds in their ears, as if thousands of ghosts were laughing hysterically.
For no reason, the pirates felt a strong fear in their hearts. They panicked and some of the timid ones were already screaming in fear.
"Who? Who is doing this? Come out!" The pirate leader was relatively high level and had strong strength. Although he was also afraid, he could still control himself. He shouted in all directions.
Although Dongfang Qingyu had dealt with many pirates before, she still did not understand the pirate language. He could only guess half of it. In fact, he did not care. The pirates shouting was a good sign of their fear.
The pirates did not notice it. Strands of transparent air floated out from the top of their heads, gathering into a river in the air and being devoured by the Soul Summoning Flag. As the river flowed in, the Soul Summoning Flag's aura became stronger and stronger, and the color became deeper and deeper. The suction force it emitted became stronger and stronger.
Dongfang Qingyu hid in the void and quietly watched as the pirates became weaker and weaker. His eyes were lifeless, and he was on the verge of collapse. When the time reached 30 seconds, the first minion fell down, and like a domino, one pirate after another fell down. There were no injuries on their bodies, but they were all dead.
40 seconds later, the number of pirates who fell had reached a climax. After 60 seconds, the last pirate was still persevering. That was the Island Master of this island. The Island Master's body was emitting a scarlet red murderous aura, and he was resisting with all his might. Unfortunately, the Soul Summoning Flag was even more powerful. When the time reached 180 seconds, the scarlet red murderous aura dissipated, and the terrifying suction force of the Soul Summoning Flag erupted. It was only effective against tens of thousands of people, but now, it was only effective against the Island Master. It devoured the Island Master's soul in one second.
"Ah!"
As expected of the Island Master, he could still let out a miserable cry before he died. Unlike the other small pirates, he did not leave any sound after he died.
Three minutes later, the battle was over. More than 20,000 pirates were completely wiped out, and not a single one was left. Dongfang Qingyu put away the Soul Summoning Flag. The dark clouds dispersed, and the sky returned to normal. The battle in the other direction had reached its climax. Because of the interference of the island, the fleet did not have to worry about the attack from the pirates. The fleet bombarded the pirate ships without any hesitation. The pirate ships were in a tight formation, and their aura was intimidating. If one was a little timid, they might be scared, but the people in the fleet were all elites among elites. They knew how powerful the firepower of the warship was, so why would they care about a small pirate?
The squadron formed an arc and fired at the pirates. It was a bit exaggerated to say that they fired a thousand cannons, but it was definitely a hundred cannons. Fire streaked across the sky and waves bloomed. The terrifying power of the explosion spread on the pirate ships. The defense of these ships that had not been maintained for a long time was pitifully low. They could not withstand the power of the cannons. They were instantly torn apart. The pirates were either killed or injured and fell into the sea. Those who were unharmed were few and far between. They were all people who had died in vain.
The horn was getting faster and faster. The Ba Huang cannons were also getting faster and faster. Under the absolute coverage of firepower, the squadron was defeated. Some pirates wanted to abandon their ships and jump into the water. Their targets were relatively large, but their personal targets were small. However, the firepower of the squadron was not a joke. The sea surface seemed to be boiling.
The pirates also tried to counterattack. Amongst the pirates, there were about 20 ships that had cannons. However, those old cannons were only suitable for peaceful times. When the waves were slightly shaking, they could only rely on luck to hit their targets. The pirates were unlucky. 20 cannons fired at least two rounds. Not to mention hitting the warships, there was not even a scratch. The nearest cannon was only three meters away from the warship.
The pirates’ cannons only had two chances to fire, and they were torn apart by the Ba Huang cannons. Those pirates who thought they were smart enough to jump into the sea to escape were sad to find that jumping into the sea was even more miserable. The waves of the cannon exploding were also terrifying. Who knew how many pirates were killed by the waves. Their bodies rolled along with the seawater. It was only after a long time that they slowly sank into the sea.
When the pirates at the edge of the island saw that their side was completely powerless to retaliate, they felt fear in their hearts. They turned around and ran, but before they could run far, they were hit by the cannonballs. The ship was turned into pieces, and the pirates were killed by the explosion.
These pirates thought that the accuracy of the Eight Desolations Cannon was similar to their own cannons, but they did not know that if the accuracy of the Eight Desolations cannon was an experienced operator, the accuracy would have already reached within three meters.
The battle quickly ended. Under the absolute advantage of their equipment, the pirates did not have any strength to retaliate. The only one who could retaliate was the pirate who dressed differently. This person was the captain of the fleet, but because he was dressed in a conspicuous manner, he was chased by the Eight Desolations Cannon. This person's strength was incomparably strong. He was hit by the Eight Desolations Cannon but did not die. He was only a residual blood. After that, the half cup of Hongdou milk tea, Yangzhou Ninth Monster, One Stone Two Birds, and Three Buddhas teamed up and fought fiercely for almost twenty minutes before they grinded him to death. The strong advantage of their levels once again made Yangzhou Ninth Monster and the other three people feel an urgent need to level up.
If they were at the same level, they could kill the pirate captain in an instant, but the reality was that the pirate level was higher than theirs.
Dongfang Qingyu had already gone around the island. The outcome was obvious. Although there were no animals on this island, there were quite a few plants, and freshwater resources. Freshwater was a precious resource on the island. Dongfang Qingyu left two battleships to guard the island number one, and the rest of the battleships continued forward.
Dongfang Qingyu was too lazy to give a name to the island. This was the first island he had encountered, so he named it Island No. 1. He believed that he would encounter more islands in the future.
The two battleships that were left behind were not as simple as just defending. They also had to carry the responsibility of building defensive fortifications. The pirates' defensive fortifications were as simple as playing around. They had to be demolished and rebuilt. The battleships carried a large number of craftsmen and materials. This situation was actually within Dongfang Qingyu's expectations.
However, what Dongfang Qingyu did not expect was that a terrifying sea monster suddenly appeared out of nowhere and swallowed a battleship. The sea monster suddenly appeared in the middle of the fleet, emerging from the bottom of the sea. It was very sudden. With a whoosh, a battleship was gone. Everyone was stunned by this scene.
