Chapter 13 Major vs. Reserve Brigadier General (Happy Birthday Liu Niang, Birthday Birthday, Must Be Done)
Fang Senyan looked at this series of prompts and couldn't help but curse the stinginess of the space in his heart. After returning to the real world this time and having some free time, he went online to search for information, analyzed and judged the channel coordinates recorded in Bernard Fokke's nautical diary, and further deduced the specific voyage he had taken to the African continent back then.
During the research, he discovered that there should be a current in the Caribbean Sea world that did not exist in the real world. This current was called the Pandora Current by Bernard Fokke. Ships sailing on this current, even against the wind, could travel at very high speeds.
Even so, according to Fang Senyan's deduction, even his own Dingyuan warship would need at least six days to reach there, of course, this was under the condition that there was no external interference. However, the space shamelessly only gave him 150 hours!! That is to say, it only gave Fang Senyan an eight-hour buffer! From this point alone, this terrifying world gave Fang Senyan a huge setback!
In any case, Fang Senyan could only sigh and accept his fate. He immediately began to contact his Dingyuan warship and found that these guys had just robbed a Spanish merchant ship, sold the stolen goods in the pirate port of Tortuga, and sailed out after a series of supplies. At this time, it was estimated to be less than a hundred nautical miles away from Tortuga.
Fang Senyan immediately marked the designated location where he would appear at Tortuga, and then asked his men to hurry over to pick him up. Then he entered the Caribbean Sea world as quickly as possible.
Fang Senyan was quite familiar with Tortuga. Before entering the space, Fang Senyan also heard the conversation between Stalluo and Zeus, and knew that there would probably be pursuers coming today, so he immediately took the three black brothers to the pier and got a sloop in a semi-robbery, semi-buying manner and left the port in a hurry.
The first reason was to avoid the pursuers behind and avoid confronting Stalluo and his group on land. The second was to save time! With a mere eight-hour buffer time, an encounter with a legendary creature, or a storm could consume these eight hours, so Fang Senyan didn't dare to act like a big shot and wait for his men to pick him up. He would save as much time as he could!
Stalluo, with Douglas and one of his men, closely followed Fang Senyan's footsteps into the world. They also set their entry point at Tortuga Port. Of course, in order to do this, Prince Stalluo paid a full five points of merit and ten thousand general points. Although he was already a reserve commodore, the types of privileges that might be open to him would be more, but the number of free privileges he could obtain was far less than Fang Senyan!
After they arrived at the pier, they only saw a sloop that was almost disappearing in the mist. The black brothers on the ship were still waving enthusiastically, and even whistled.
Prince Stalluo snorted coldly, immediately jumped onto a fishing boat that had just returned to port next to him. Douglas didn't know what he said to the people on the fishing boat, but he saw a surge of black air, covering the heads of the pirates on the boat. These pirates seemed to be hypnotized, and they jumped into the water with plops. Douglas only left enough crew to drive the boat, and kept a close watch on Fang Senyan!
At this time, the distance between the two ships was only about two or three kilometers. At this distance, unless it was a professional sniper like Madh, it would be impossible to harm the other party. The two sides chased each other for a long time, but the distance was neither widened nor shortened.
Douglas, who was originally full of confidence, was a little puzzled. He frowned and said to Prince Stalluo: "My current title, Pirate Captain, can already increase the ship's passive speed by 15%, and our ship has more sailors than the guy in front of us, but the speed is the same. Does this guy called Sailor have equipment that can greatly increase the speed? Can it make up for the gap between the two sides?"
The strong Prince Stalluo, with his white hair flying, put his hands on his chest and closed his eyes and said, "Since he dares to speak wildly, he must have some skills. This person's auxiliary ability is very strong, so you don't need to be surprised. At such a long distance... um, it seems that only the abilities derived from military rank can interfere with such a long distance, I can help you."
As he spoke, the nightmare imprint on Stalluo's chest suddenly emitted a faint light. This was the military rank ability that Stalluo obtained after being promoted to reserve commodore: Solemn Impact, causing a 10% absolute deceleration effect to all enemies within a large area (cannot be offset or weakened), but it is ineffective against those with a higher military rank than himself. Stalluo used this military rank ability in conjunction with his frost aura ability, which added up to a more terrifying deceleration range for the enemy. Of course, it is ineffective against those with a higher military rank than himself...
Suddenly, it could be seen that not-so-violent fluctuations appeared in the air, the waves were surging, and a ring of invisible impact waves quickly aimed at Fang Senyan's ship and rolled over. However, what moved Stalluo was!! He actually received a prompt that the enemy was immune to this ability!!
"How is this possible! That's right, it should be that guy Jiao Shi. He was originally the core of the previous team, and he should also be the core of this team called the Ace Team. If the resources of the entire team are poured into him, then his military rank may be higher than mine. Speaking of which, if I were to win over Jiao Shi, would it be possible to compete with Zeus?"
In this instant, so many thoughts flashed through Prince Stalluo's mind. He didn't bring up the matter of his military rank ability failing and eating a shriveled thing everywhere, but said to Douglas: "You have already activated the ability of the ghost ship, let them come quickly, right?"
Douglas nodded proudly and said: "That's right, my ghost ship can exhaust all its abilities in exchange for shuttling through the underworld to greatly increase its movement speed. Of course, the price is that only the crew and the ship can withstand the corrosion of the underworld. If it carries humans or goods, it must withstand the time corrosion of the underworld, so this ability is quite tragic for making money, but it is quite fast for rushing on the road temporarily. It will arrive in at most half an hour, so we only need to keep a close watch now."
Stalluo said coldly: "As long as you shorten the distance to within a hundred meters, leave the rest to me."
After sailing for about ten more minutes, Douglas unexpectedly discovered that he was starting to be thrown off. The reason was very simple, because the pirates on their ship who were rowing oars would be tired. It just so happened that an island could be seen in front, the area of this island was not large, but the surrounding area was full of cliffs as high as twenty or thirty meters, and there was no beach or anything to land on at all. It used to be used as a prison, but now it has been abandoned. Because the top of the island has white rocks, passing sailors and pirates nicknamed it the Alps.
Taking advantage of a gust of sea breeze, Fang Senyan and his crew's small boat bypassed the cliffs of the Alps and disappeared into the concealment of the island's rock walls in a very bright and elegant way, and also disappeared into the enemy's sight. Prince Stalluo frowned, but Douglas cheered: "Wow! Your Highness, my baby has arrived as scheduled!"
As soon as he finished speaking, gray mist hazy in the sea next to him, and gradually there appeared a three-masted sailing ship that looked a little dilapidated, but the body of this sailing ship already had some of the streamlined shape of a yacht in later generations, the masts did not look very high, the sails were very tattered, and the crew on the ship looked a little sluggish, gloomy in the mist, and even their thinking seemed to be frozen.
These were the crew members that Douglas had created using the method of making corrupt souls.
It is said that it is not only Fang Senyan who has adventures, Douglas pleased Blackbeard and also learned a lot of powerful black magic. Because black magic is attached to the cannons, the shells of the ghost ship are also quite powerful and have a long range, far stronger than Fang Senyan's Dingyuan warship.
The crew members he created, although they do not have the strange power and combat ability of corrupt souls, they also have a much longer lifespan and much higher intelligence than them! Therefore, they can travel through the ghost world without dying. These crew members absolutely obey Douglas's orders, do not know fatigue and fatigue, and are not afraid of death.
Of course, the shortcomings of this kind of living dead crew are also very obvious. First, they have a "shelf life", probably only living for three months. Second, their reactions are very slow, and there will be a considerable period of delay and sluggish reaction time after receiving orders.
The first trouble that these two major weaknesses brought to Douglas was that he had to face the trouble of replenishing crew members from time to time, and the second was that the combat ability of the ghost ship declined sharply, and the slow reaction greatly reduced the accuracy of the artillery fire and the power of melee combat. Otherwise, with Douglas's ship's special skills alone, it would have been enough to challenge legendary battleships.
"Hehe." A trace of hideousness appeared on Douglas's face: "I want to play with the guy in front of me before killing them. Even if my ghost ship doesn't enter the ghost plane, its speed is still one of the best in the Caribbean Sea! Except for the Black Pearl, no one can catch up with my beauty!"
With Douglas's order, the ghost ship slowly mobilized the sails, giving people the illusion of slowly accumulating strength, as if humans had to make preparations before a race, and then broke through the big waves at the bow of the ship and shot out! Just like a swordfish, agile and nimble, it pounced on the distant target! Such acceleration can even be compared with speedboats in the real world!!
