Episode 164: Escape from the Bay

I flew through the sky to reach the Black Cedar Army vessel, the flagship of the Silesier fleet.

At the tip of the deck, you can see Admiral Drake blown by the freshening and the sea breeze.

A man who looked so old on land has become a fine admiral.

Dressed in an admiral's hat and pitch-black admiral's clothing with gold buttons, Drake had regained the power of the Blackbearded Pirate King of previous years.

"Whoa, you're back, King!

Admiral Drake, fire ships at the Britannian army.

Drake said to stand down on the deck and put it on me trying to order more attacks.

"In the meantime, look outside the harbor. Looks like the Invincible Fleet has spoiled you."

"What... is it true, you timing anything too good!

Countless large fleets were showing up ahead of Drake pointing fingers.

Looking with binoculars, you can see the blood and gold flags flirting, with gold horizons in the Castilian redlands. We've got five Galeon ships lined up in the front, and they're a truly invincible fleet.

Don't come out at the worst possible time.

If you keep doing this, they'll pinch you from the inside out of the bay.

"Hehe... all pirates, when they see that Castile flag, they shake."

Lend him binoculars and show Drake his fleet of enemies, too, and he was shaking his rattled and wooden prosthetic legs.

Drake is forced to laugh and show, but his cheeks are tense.

I guess so, because Drake was once wiped out of his fleet and hurt so much that he couldn't rebound himself.

Drake, you just have to win. If you win, you won't be plagued by defeat nightmares, etc.

"Nevertheless, your enemies are too ready. Maybe they were plotting it?

If the invincible fleet hadn't come, we might have been able to capture the ships that might have been available and increase the fleet after smashing the ships in the harbor.

It's a shame you can no longer cover the Britannian army with gunfire.

"I don't want to think the movement over here was being read. Was it a coincidence that you pointed the rudder this way, or were you netting it predicting this one's movement? Either way, these are the tides. If you stay like this, they'll pinch you."

Should we be careful because the guy commanding the enemy fleet doesn't know how much admiral he is?

On the sea, reconnaissance shouldn't be like land either. Really, if you detected this Glades Bay assault operation and targeted a pinch to match it, you're quite a tactician.

"What about the harbor blockade?"

"Eight minutes. Either way, if you sink your enemy's ship so flashly, you won't be able to use the harbor until the maintenance is complete."

Thirty Castilian transporters moored in the harbour, most of them sunk, in full force shelling.

The military ships, too, the smaller galley and cog ships have sunk just one blow of cannon ammunition, and even if they are large sailboats of Carrack and Galeon classes, there are no ships that have not been shelled.

A military ship that hasn't sunk in the harbor is about to leave for this one, but I'm guessing a lot of burnt iron bullets are raging around in the boat. It's confusing and I see it's not about to go out.

If we're going to retreat, it's time for the enemy fleet to be in chaos with the assault.

"All right, then, we're gonna run before they pinch us!

"O king, in times like this, come on, not run. Order me to break through."

That being said, Drake chuckles ferociously with his teeth out. Even if his legs are still trembling, this wounded man is inspiring courage without.

Nice work. I guess it has to be.

"Then Admiral Drake, break through the enemy perimeter!

"Yo solo!"

The invincible fleet, with five Galeon ships at the forefront, is nearly two hundred from a glance. This is sixteen smaller ships, including even smaller galley ships.

Besides, the tide is rising tide, with the enemy slightly advantageous. The wind of request to move the sailboat was blowing north along Britain Oshima, not on either side. The sea breeze just doesn't turn to the enemy here, can it be your word?

Fleets sailing wide and facing each other as they are flowing in the southerly breeze that blows.

A number of proud enemies try to siege the fleet by widening it wide and laying a formation of crane wings at sea, but that would be a lower measure. This one has a cannon with a strong breakthrough power.

"Magic Armstrong cannon, shoot him in the ear belly of the enemy first!

Almost at the same time Drake shook his voice, a super cannon was simultaneously fired at the center of the enemy.

Bashfully shaking the air and cutting off the water, the large iron ball that flew in shot away the Galeon ship in the front and set up a large water column involving a boat around.

The ships caught in the water column are the algae chips of the sea.

Some of the canoes around it also overturned at the instigation of the waves. It is as if the tremendous power conveys the agitation of an invincible fleet that has been stripped of its strength.

"That's overwhelming, Admiral."

"Whoa, if I lose this, it's gonna be next time. I'm gonna get my neck."

Subsequently, normal artillery erupted from the Silesier fleet, which proceeded in a cone-sharp formation. Until this point, it's a unilateral development.

Exactly. The enemy's large ship does not sink in one blow, but it is definitely inflicting a painful blow. The enemy is also desperate to release an arrow, but it has not yet arrived.

That's overwhelming. As our army was turning high, a leading enemy Galeon ship lined up with a large crossbow (barista) at the tip.

Do you use a stationary siege weapon on a military ship?

Shh, a loud arrow about the size of a spear flies in one after another.

"You're already getting it at this flying distance!

The large crossbow (barista) I know is five hundred meters at most, even at maximum flight distance. But Castile's. That comes out close to a kilometer of flight distance.

Moreover, an arrow as huge as Marutai with a steel claw is powerful enough to fly long distances.

It hits the sides of the Gatun and Black Cedar warships, but even the giant arrows that fly in instant speed had to be bounced before the Black Cedar armor, which is harder than steel.

Even though I know it's okay, I'm burned by giant arrows that fly in one after another.

"It makes me whisk"

"Ma'am, you're dealing with an invincible fleet. He's ready for this attack."

Is this the technological capability of the developed country Castile?

Even an improved large crossbow (barista) does not reach half the cannon's flight distance, but is powerful if fleshy. If we leave it like this, there 'll be damage here, too.

"It doesn't taste good when a subsequent ship is targeted. I'll just crush the large crossbow (barista)!

"General, what are you going to do?"

When I got to the ship, I set my sights on the Magic Gun (Rifle) and shot down a large crossbow that was coming out of the Galeon ship in the front. Three shots in a row.

Though the modified type, the crossbow can be deactivated if the string is broken. I see a sniper with a bullet blushing his nose tip and slipping his hips and running away.

Let's dong crush a large crossbow (barista) at this rate.

Drake whistled at me until I ran out of ammo.

"Huh, don't do it, King!

"Not to this extent. Large crossbows are noticeable. If you put it forward, it's like telling me to go for it."

Large crossbows can be crushed with that, but magic guns (rifles) have their limits on ammunition, so there's no reason to shoot all the longbowmen on enemy ships in large numbers.

The Musketeers are also responding to the shooting of the enemy's long archers, but they spring up from this one, whether they kill it or not. The Castilian Navy has no cut because of the large number of soldiers.

Arrows that come flying through the Byungbyung air are mostly prevented by shields made of thick wooden slabs arranged on top of the ship. But some of the arrows jump into the ship because they draw parabolas and fly.

Admiral Drake is also cleverly arrowed with a big black shield in one hand as he speaks and screams.

I waved the ice and snow sword I had taken from my enemies earlier and jumped the flying arrows.

There's no other love to this extent, but it's a bad idea to have a mix of flying arrows with something on fire. An oil-stained cloth wrapped around the tip of the arrow and seems to be setting them on fire. I stomp the rolling fire arrow with my boot and put it out before it burns on the deck.

"You're a pain in the ass to be burned, Drake."

"Fire is fundamental to naval warfare, my lord. You can't just turn it off!

I guess that means don't be surprised to this extent. The sailors are also settling on Drake's instructions and putting a wet cloth over the burning fire arrow to put it out.

Sounds fine. The closer you get to the arrow, the more you have to endure because the ship will only feed on this shell.

After all, the artillery was powerful, and enemies who were targeting forcefully grounded fights changed their movements. At the time I thought the war trend (sorry) leaned this way.

When the enemy's large convoy opens gently, a fiercely inflamed ship emerges from the inside and bursts into this one. Apparently, they're igniting and inflaming straw full of them inside the ship.

"Drake, what the hell is that burning ship!

"The king, that's a fire ship. We'll burn the ship and let it go in, and we'll take this ship on the road."

"Oh, my God, is there such a special attack?"

Even in the age of sailboats, did special attack weapons exist? If you ask, they'll charge you with flammable material, release it from the top of the tide, and hit the enemy fleet. Were you preparing a fire ship by calculating not only the wind, but even the rising tide flowing to the bay? The Admiral of the enemy is also a considerable warrior.

If a wooden ship does get jumped in like that, you're gonna get caught up in it and burn with it.

"Hey, Mr. King, this Black Cedar Army ship didn't burn."

Drake, who is taking the head command, turned around.

I'm laughing fun in this situation, it's the face of a villain. Sometimes that was just a close relative of a pirate. I gave it back with a bad grin, too.

"Huhaha, of course it is. Drake. The armor of a Black Cedar Army ship will never burn. Keep it up!

"Yo Solo, let's stick it in and kick all the fireships in."

Fire ships that will be specially attacked by Black Cedar Army ships, the number of which is twenty (yes) if you include them up to the canoe.

Luxuriously, it burns not just small galley ships, but even medium-sized cogs. Originally, even the Galeon ship was a special attack on a burning fire ship, but it did not work on the Black Cedar Army ship.

When the Black Cedar Army ship, stiffer than iron as it is, makes a guttering noise and hits it, one after the other the hull of the fire ship shatters and sinks without any effect.

The algae scraps of the sea and the extinguishing fire boat, but the burning flames and candle smoke (soaked) are awesome, and the hot air blows up from the bow to my face looking down.

"This fiery momentum and the awful smell of smoke, are you even oiling and burning it? Make sure you shoot him down. Whatever the Black Cedar Warship is, there won't be a single one if it's boarded by the next ship."

"I'm fine. At this distance, you don't have to shoot away."

For an invincible fleet exposed to shelling and unable to be brought into combat, a special attack by a fireship would have been the trump card.

When the fire convoy was wiped out by the concentration of shelling, the invincible fleet split left and right to make way.

"All right, let's stick it out while we shell it all over like this"

"Yo solo. Ha ha, I've never been born on a day that feels so good."

While pushing through the sidelines of the Invincible Fleet, the Silesier fleet broke through the center with no difficulty as it was, letting the showers of shelling rain from left to right to magnify the damage.

Although he suffered considerable pain from attacks by large crossbows (baristas) and bows and arrows, not a single ship was so destroyed as to hinder navigation.

It can be said that the enemy fleet has been more fortunate than anything to persevere in the attack on the Black Cedar Army ship that took the lead.

"What do you say, come after me"

"Hey, did you notice the scare? Zaya hey, you Castilian assholes!

Drake was thrilled to wield his crutches. I laughed so high, I flipped over and I was still laughing.

Well, I guess so, because for him it cleared up the resentment of the year.

"Kaara, tear the last shot at him."

"Ha!"

Kaara, who squeezed her magical powers at the last extreme, puts her hands up and sets up a good metheo strike.

The sky stains black and a group of meteors with overwhelming power from space pours down on the enemy fleet… but there are not many meteorites to pour down.

And the meteorites that are shot down are also mostly bounced off by magic barriers.

The boat was exposed to high waves and just sank some.

"Hmm, the enemy had two senior magicians on board."

"I'm sorry, Father."

"No, it's not Kaala's fault. You didn't put a senior magician into battle, so you saw the Meteor Strike coming in advance, and you were focusing all your efforts on the Dispel Magic..."

"Sounds like it. I felt a strong magical resistance to the entire Invincible Fleet. This is the level of disabling power used by Chancellor Nicolas."

Probably means that Lebnand, who was on one of the Galeon ships in the invincible fleet, along with Celestina, was this time dedicated to the dispel magic.

In that Battle of the King's Capital, I understood the tactical value of the magic deactivation realm that Prime Minister Nicolas had made me use to try to imitate its plain but effective moves in action. He is still a strong enemy.

"Well, that's a lot of work."

We cannot say that we have completely destroyed the Invincible Fleet, but forty ships, including the enemy Galeon ship, would have been able to drop it superiorly.

If we include enemy carriers and military vessels that caused damage in the Gulf of Glades earlier, the result will be more than seventy.

After a successful assault on a berthed defenseless fleet, a grand central breakthrough broke the invincible fleet in two. With only one Black Cedar Army ship and fifteen fleets, they did their best.

It was an awesome victory.

Moving forward in exhilaration, we stopped at our home port of Skeveningen to supply.

"Drake......"

"That's burning."

Returning to the port of Skeveningen, some of the buildings in the port were raising smoke.

Exactly, the fire has been extinguished, but there is still a scar that feels like it was attacked earlier.

"I see, is that what Drake expected?"

"The invincible fleet that just went too far was probably after attacking this place"

When you stop at the port of Skeveningen, you receive a report from the Commander of the Marine Corps of Philippe (Commodore), who was in charge of the defence of the port.

As Drake expected, Castile's invincible fleet said it assaulted the port of Skeveningen.

The route of Silesier's fleet just went wrong.

War by sailboat is scary because of this. No matter how vigilant you are or how powerful your ship is, you can be attacked in the back harbor without going wrong in the ocean and realizing it.

For once, although they allowed the enemy forces to land, the enemy gave up the assault and left the harbour when the city's guards and residents cooperated desperately with the Marines in a defensive battle and were shot with artillery and resisted violently.

Although some of the port facilities were burned under arson and fire by soldiers, it was fortunate during the misfortune that most of the facilities and shipyards were safe.

"If you win Castile, I'll charge you plenty of compensation"

It has taken the form of bringing the Principality of Transhvania into war. We have to pay for the damage done to the port in Scheveningen.

Whatever it is, it is to beat the Invincible Fleet as soon as possible. Otherwise, this port and maritime transport will continue to be in danger.

"Admiral Drake's advice helped me."

"Oh fine, I could have repaid him with plenty of hateful Castile over here. So what are you gonna do, put pirates on your side?"

"That's..."

"I also use old handouts to cross the border with pirates. Anyway, I'm an outdated man too. I was the ruler of the North Sea six years ago, and now I've got another one."

"Hey, Admiral Drake, where's the pirate's nest?"

"Huh, is that what you're talking about Pirate Fort (Buckernier's Fort)"

"Yes, get directly into that fort and we'll talk fast"

"Suddenly, without a handover, it's a place where life is not enough, but not in the case of a king."

Drake gave a cool, dry laugh as he broke up.

"As soon as possible, we have to turn Castilian's invincible fleet into sea algae chips. And then we get into Castile..."

"Don't rush, general, I'll do whatever I can. Admiral Jean says the ship should not be repaired."

There is not one scratch on the outer wall of the Black Cedar Warship, but the other ships have severe pain although they did not sink.

The cannons have also been damaged. Magic Armstrong cannons are still technically unstable weapons. If you don't clean and repair it well every time you use it, the lead will melt in the shell and become useless.

They said it would take at least a few days to replenish and repair first aid.

Hurry up, but perhaps Castilian's invincible fleet is stuck without being able to stop at a port in Glades full of sunken ships and sealed off with similar damage.

Things are going better this way.

Think about it, can we just calm down?

"Hey, brave man. I'm hungry, Zo."

I laugh because that's what I'm suing you for.

Array had been bursting with hard-baked bread, the ship's preserved food, just now, but this kind of thing doesn't seem to add to his stomach.

I hear you consume a lot of calories when you fight, so it's pathetic to say you're a cannibal.

I was kind of hungry when I lost my mind. Even I haven't eaten anything.

"All right, I'll feed you something better"

So was the ship, but the wounded and tired sailors needed rest as well.

I decided to thank you for reminding me of that.
