Chapter 354: Execution at Sea 4

Nathan had just let go of the fireball when he saw the enemy fleet being enveloped by a sudden burst of thick smoke.

Before he could be surprised, a huge crash, shattering, and screaming sound suddenly broke out on the ship, followed by a thunderous sound and a violent shaking under his feet.

"Damn it, what happened?"

Nathan quickly held the railing on the side of the ship with his hands and focused his attention on the deck. He had clearly heard people screaming just now.

A horrible scene came into his eyes-on the deck in front, a bunch of incomplete people fell on it, some motionless, no breath, some yelling, not yet awake from the fact that they were injured, and some groaning with a weak breath, it seems that they are about to die. Scattered between their broken bodies are fragments of human body parts.

"Father in heaven!" "Devil!"

The deck was in chaos. Although there were not many casualties, their miserable situation instantly shocked those companions who were lucky enough not to be injured. Some were trying to treat their fallen companions, some were watching the warship on the opposite side with wide eyes to try to figure out what was going on, and more people were running around on the deck trying to find a place to hide - they thought they were attacked by a powerful crossbow.

Nathan's brain was quickly occupied by astonishment, his eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and his usual cynical expression disappeared without a trace.

There is no doubt that they were hit by the enemy, and the power of this attack was so strong that it caused great damage to their side in an instant and lost so much combat power.

"Damn it! What are the people below doing? Why is the ship not moving?"

A furious voice shouted, it was the pirate leader Zod. As the commander of this fleet, the responsibility on his shoulders prompted him to wake up first. In the face of the enemy's unknown long-range attack methods, once the ship loses power, what awaits them will be further passive attacks.

Nathan then realized that the ship under his feet was no longer moving in the direction of the attack, but was just drifting with the wind.

He hurried to the door of the rear cabin and looked down. As expected, the cabin was also in chaos, and there were many casualties inside.

Nathan looked around and found that not only the flagship he was on, but also the 9 warships in the first row of the pirate fleet were attacked and fell into varying degrees of chaos.

"Captain Zod! This thing attacked us!"

A minion shouted, pointing to the round iron ball in the corner.

His words attracted many people, and they came to check.

"Here too!" Not only one iron ball was found.

Nathan did not rush forward to watch, he felt that these iron balls were a bit strange.

"Ah! It's scalding me!" A brave pirate minion tried to pick up the iron ball, but he screamed in pain as soon as he touched the ball.

"Everyone be careful, this thing is too hot!"

Hot iron ball? The enemy used this thing to attack us?

Nathan was shocked. Could it be that the enemy's ship had some powerful catapult device? But what about that strange smoke?

Or... some kind of supernatural power?

Just as Nathan was lost in thought, the pirate leader Zod went down to the cabin with a curse and used a whip to force the rowers to restore order.

The pirate ship gradually moved again, and Zod asked his men to keep sending signals to other ships, and the fleet resumed its previous marching posture.

Just as they were thinking about jumping onto the enemy's warship to find out what was going on, the Northwest Fleet on the opposite side was suddenly shrouded in thick smoke again.

No way, again?

The pirates were shocked, but with the lesson learned last time, this time they all lay down and crawled on the deck.

But this could not stop the coming of the God of Death. With the whistling sound in the air, the iron ball kept bouncing on the deck, wantonly harvesting lives on the way forward.

Not only the damage caused by the iron ball itself, but also the wood chips splashed by its impact caused serious casualties to the pirates. There was a ghost howling on the ship.

The pirate fleet that had just resumed its action stopped again.

"Zod!"

In the chaos, Nathan shouted the name of the pirate leader loudly, but got no response.

He remembered that Zod had not come up after going to the cabin just now, so he immediately went down to the cabin to find him.

However, he found only the corpse of the pirate leader who was still warm.

"Chief Zod... is dead!" The oarsmen who witnessed the leader being killed by the mysterious iron ball were already at a loss.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

Nathan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! From now on, I will command this ship!" Now is not the time to feel sorry for this pirate leader who can be regarded as a companion.

No one objected to his words, and everyone knew that this young man was extraordinary.

Nathan ran up the stairs to the deck quickly and shouted, "Captain Zod has died. I declare that I will take over the command of the fleet. All leaders listen... Damn it, find cover!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the Northwest battleship opposite him burst into smoke again, and a thunderous sound.

Nathan turned around immediately and tried to hide behind a pile of wine barrels not far away. However, he suddenly felt something flying past him, followed by a huge impact force coming from his side. This force was so huge that it seemed like a giant hand slapped him. The violent shock wave wrapped his body and rolled continuously on the deck. After turning the last circle, Nathan's eyes went black and he fainted.

...

Tirpitz carefully observed the effect of his attack with a telescope, and the miserable state of the enemy made him very happy.

The power of the 12-pound naval gun is huge. The solid iron bullet with an initial velocity of 477 meters per second flies with high temperature and huge kinetic energy. Even if the supersonic sound waves generated when flying in front of people do not hit people, they will have a huge impact on people. People who are too close to the flight path of the shells will almost faint, and even cause concussions and not heal for several months.

However, there was one imperfection. The pirate fleet's offensive formation made their bows face the Northwest Fleet, which limited the effect of the artillery when hitting the hull. Many shells were bounced off the enemy ship's hull due to the tilt.

Should we change our formation? Tirpitz was in a dilemma.

Looking at the chaotic pirate fleet, Tirpitz finally made up his mind. Flags were raised on the masts, and the fleet commander's orders were conveyed to each ship.

The six galleys at the rear continued to shoot at the pirate fleet, while the sailboats originally at the head began to turn left, outflanking the enemy and facing their side against the side of the enemy ship.
