Chapter 33: The Mad Sea Tornado

"Damn bastards, don't these yellow monkeys fear sparking conflicts between nations!"
The commander-in-chief of the East India Company, bowing his head to avoid the splashes caused by the cannonballs, kept cursing under his breath.
He didn't expect that the attitude of the attacking Han people would be so decisive.
They were even more fierce than those rampant pirates!
Countless cannonballs smashed beside the Eternal, the name of the Holy Pelo family's Eternal was called Elegant Elf, mainly abandoning more than half of the artillery to increase the speed and flexibility of the entire ship.
At this moment, the drawbacks of the artillery are revealed without a doubt.
Fortunately, the precision of naval artillery in naval battles is not very high. It can only rely on a large number of attacks. For the time being, it has not bombarded important positions of the elegant elves and has not caused much impact on the ships!
"Steer! Steer! Raise all the cannons on the right side and counterattack!!! Full speed retreat! Full speed retreat!!!"
In the gap between the falling shells, the commander with the big beard shouted hoarsely.
The opposing fleet and firepower are simply not in the same league as him. Now, apart from the advantage of speed brought by having a ship, there is simply no other way to escape except to withdraw immediately.
Standing on the Big Treasure Ship, Xiaotianwen looked at the elegant elves in the distance.
The flags of the East India Company and the San Pedro family were hung on the ship and fluttered in the wind.
The dense shells were constantly being fired, creating numerous splashes around the elegant elves. Except for a few shells that could hit the iron skin of the enemy ships, most of them only fell into the sea, causing some interference to their navigation.
"Accuracy is still not good!"
"Muttering to himself, the situation in naval warfare is like this now."
"Two huge fleets are mutually bombarding each other. Besides relying on common formations, they can only rely on a large number of shells to bombard the enemy."
The accuracy is not enough, only by quantity can we win.
This naval battle method can greatly increase the hit rate when facing a fleet.
But as it is now, it is only bombing a single ship.
Even if the other party is also a giant like the DaBao ship, the hit rate of the water army on this side is still pitifully low.
Bullets can only hit the ship's iron hull, and one or two hits on such a huge ship will not have much impact.
Only when the shells bombard the enemy's key positions can their ships be shattered and sunk.
Cannons fired in unison, with dozens of shells flying through the air and exploding in the sea.
Here, there are also counterattacks from a few elegant elves.
In this way, the fleet pursued by Zuo Tian, while the elegant elves of the East India Company, relying on the advantage of speed, ran farther and farther.
"Sir, we can't catch up!"
It was not until this moment that Shi Ziming realized that the enemy's ships were reducing their weight by decreasing the number of cannons, resulting in their speed being much faster than that of Left Tian and his fleet.
Although they have the same force, they cannot catch up with each other.
Although the size of the big ship is smaller, it can still be faster than the speed of the big treasure ship, but it is still getting farther and farther away from the opponent's ship.
"Don't worry, they will come back!"
At the sigh of Shi Ziming, Zuo Tianwen softly spoke, lifted his chin, and gestured for Shi Ziming to look ahead.
Following Zuo Tianwen's indication, in the vast ocean not far from the two massive ships, a row of surging waterspouts gathered together, forming a wall made up of a whole row of waterspouts!
"Dragon absorbs water!!!"
With a startled cry, Shi Ziming's words instantly caught the attention of all the soldiers.
Everyone's gaze, originally focused on the boats, quickly shifted to the scene in front of them, leaving everyone terrified.
A dense dragon appeared on the sea surface, blocking the way for the two sides' horse-powered boats.
Tian on the left asked the graceful elf escaping in front of them, obviously also seeing the current scene, the rapidly advancing boats began to descend continuously, preparing to turn around and sail over.
Run towards the direction pointed by Zuo Tianwen in a panic.
"My Lord!"
Gazing at Zuo Tianwen, Shi Ziming is waiting for him to give orders.
Such a dense Longsou water, not to mention seeing it before, there is no mention of it at all.
This horrifying scene can be considered a disaster on the sea!
If everything were normal, they should temporarily abandon attacking the ships of the East India Company and, like them, turn the ship's bow immediately to escape the range of the dragon's suction, in order to avoid being affected by this natural disaster.
However, at this moment, it was not him who wore the highest commander's uniform, but the person in front of him, Zuo Tianwen.
Therefore, Shisiming couldn't give the order to retreat.
Zuo Tianwen squinted his eyes, looking at the catastrophic scene in the distance. In his mind, the red dots on the map were flashing frantically.
This means that Lefort asked them about the direction they were currently heading towards the lost ruins, which is getting closer and closer!
"Hit it!"
Said in a deep voice, Lefort gave his command. Lefort was not sure if this would work, but it was worth a try.
The speed of the waterspouts is very fast, even if they turn around now, they cannot surpass the movement range of the waterspouts. In the end, they will still be affected by it and drawn into the vast ocean.
"Crash?!"
As he listened to Zuo Tian's words in a daze, Shi Ziming froze, staring dumbfounded at the waterspout approaching them from a distance, finding it hard to believe what he was hearing.
"Hit it! Aim for the center of the storm!"
The tone of speech showed no emotion, but Zuo Tianwen believed that Shi Ziming would understand his meaning.
Gazing at the dragon sucking water in the distance, Shi Ziming took a deep breath after hearing Zuo Tianwen's words.
Finally, he strolled towards the back.
"Give the order, aim at the eye of the Dragon's Water and charge towards the center! Tell them, those who want to stay alive, better aim well! If it's off by even a little, everyone on board will be buried with it!"
The roar was so fierce and anxious that it became shrill, making Shi Ziming look like a eunuch screaming with his throat choked.
There is no way, in such a horrifying scene, anyone would have a hard time facing it calmly.
Shi Ziming understood the meaning of Zuo Tianwen's question, and now even if the ship turned around, the chances of escaping the ripple effect of the dragon sucking water were slim.
After all, their fleet was not like the East India Company's, which had reduced their payload and made the ship lighter and faster.
They turn their ships around, but considering the time it takes to escape, they definitely cannot catch up with the moving speed of the water dragon coming towards them.
Regardless, this water dragon will inevitably end up affecting their fleet, impacting all the ships.
This dragon drawing water is the rage of the Sea Dragon King, and dodging it casually is not possible.
Once affected by it, one will only sink deeper and be firmly stuck by this sea whirlwind, eventually being dragged into the storm.
On the contrary, rushing towards the center of the storm may give them a chance to fight for survival.
The eye of the storm tornado is actually the safest and calmest place for them.
However, there is a crucial factor here.
That is whether the ship can accurately hit the dragon's water intake position.
It is impossible to precisely enter the eye of the storm, at such a close distance, it will instantly tear the ship and people into fragments.
Standing on the lookout, the flag bearer on the ship swiftly waves his flag, transmitting all the commands issued by Shi Ziming.
Soon, all the ships form a single-file line as requested by Shi Ziming, heading towards the storm.
These people on the ships were once soldiers of the Mountain Camp and later were trained to be the Jiangnan Navy. If only Shi Ziming gives such an order.
They will become hesitant, but with Zuo Tianwen commanding the ship.
Even if the heavens themselves order them to go to their deaths, these soldiers will charge forward without hesitation.
This is the belief of their Shanzi Battalion!
"Damn, these despicable yellow-skinned monkeys, are they crazy?!"
Startled screams, the elegant elves turned and fled from the storm, watching the movement of their fleet commanded by Zuotian, their whole body seemed insane.
The golden sideburns trembled madly, the entire commander was petrified by Zuotian's orders.
All the boats changed their formation and formed a single straight column, turning into a massive fishing net that trapped their boats on the surface of the sea.
Next, the speed of the sea cyclone is getting faster and it is constantly approaching them.
Does this Qing dynasty commander want to use an entire fleet to perish with them!
"Dodge! Dodge!! Quickly avoid them, these damn lunatics!!!"
"On the elegant elf, the commander is shouting hoarsely."
"And on the ship where Zuo Tianwen is, all the crew members have calm expressions, tying the rope again around their waists and securing it to fixed objects on the deck."
When the time comes to be sucked into the waterspout, if the immense force propels them away, they can rely on the ropes on their bodies to return to the boat.
As for the helmsman of the ship, he is now anxiously aiming for the center of the waterspout.
If there is even the slightest deviation in his direction, it could potentially endanger everyone on the ship. All the pressure is concentrated on him, making him afraid to relax in any way.
"Boss, their ship is blocking us!"
Fan Gu hurried over and asked Left Tianwen.
All the fleets are ready to charge into the eye of the storm, but right in front of them, the elegant elves who were fleeing frantically happened to block the center of the ship where Left Tianwen was located!
"Don't worry about them, just ram through! The bow of the ship has been reinforced by the craftsmen from Jiangnan and added with a ram, enough to push through!"
Directly ordering Fan Gu to charge, Zhou Tianwen's eyes didn't even bother with those red-haired devils, instead, they firmly focused on the location of the waterspout.
That, is the real crisis we must face!
"Yes, sir!"
Responding with a nod, Fan Gu ran away once again.
The distance between them and the sea tornado became closer and closer. The people standing on the deck could feel the crazy sea breeze tearing at their skin, like spiraling blades continuously shredding their flesh.
优雅精灵号上，他们看到那个巨大的黑影越靠越近，只能够无力的高声大喊。
"Get out of the way quickly!"
“上帝保佑，上帝保佑！！”
“我还没能看到出生的孩子呢！”
The soldiers who put on the uniform could feel the sense of collapse as they were caught in a pincer attack from the enemy on their back and front.
In front of them, there was a massive fleet blocking their way, and behind them, there was an even more terrifying, unprecedentedly large waterspout storm.
No matter which one, they both seem to have lost hope of survival!
"Full rudder, left, quickly to the left!!!"
Only the commander has not given up struggling, but continues to talk to the helmsman, making the ship change direction.
In front of the Dabao ship where Zuo Tianwen is located, the Elegance Elf ship tilted towards the left, attempting to avoid their ship.
Boom!
Bang!
With two loud noises, the ship suddenly shook violently, followed by a deafening sound reverberating across the open deck.
The metal's iron skin was torn apart by tremendous force, emitting a sharp and grating frictional scream.
This is the sound of despair.
Wood chips flew and landed on the deck, puncturing a hole in the face of the command center, causing blood to flow incessantly.
However, the commander of the graceful elf seemed completely unaffected, and instead stared blankly at the stern of his own ship.
Two ships of the Eternal class collided with each other.
The flagship where Zuo Tianwen was located exerted its power to the extreme, and the tremendous force caused the bow to directly penetrate the elegant Elven Star's hull.
With the reinforced impact angle, the fragile iron sheet was torn apart, and the inside, which served as the ship's structure, instantly shattered, as if the entire stern of the ship had been sliced open by a faulty blade.
With a terrifying tear, the entire stern section of the ship fell into the deep sea.
The Elegant Elf was hit by Zuo Tianwen and his team, directly shattering the stern!
"It's over, it's all over!"
The rear part of the ship, carrying majority of the power, was hit by the left sky question. It directly knocked off the power engines that were connected to the electricity crystals, causing the Elegant Elf vessel's speed to instantly decrease.
A huge gap was pouring seawater madly, continuously rushing into the cabin.
The backflowing seawater made it impossible for the ship to maintain balance, causing the stern to sink, taking the ship below the sea surface.
The bow of the ship was raised high, making it impossible for everyone to stand steadily on the deck.
On their faces, blood was flowing continuously. As they looked at this terrifying scene, the elegant elven commander looked at the musket in their hand.
Boom!
The lonely corpses lost their power and fell into the sea.
And on the deck, there was no one left to take charge of them, except for the soldiers who had been smashed to death by the impact, with wooden planks or iron sheets puncturing them, splattering their blood everywhere.
几乎所有剩下来的幸存者，都朝着的海面跳了下去。
身为水军，他们知道如何游泳。
虽然都知道在这广袤无际的大海上，这样就等同于死亡，但是求生的欲望，依然催促着他们，跳入海里。
However, most people jumped from the high bow deck and landed on the sea surface, turning into a pile of flesh.
Only a few people survived, but they also broke their bodies in the process.
The entire level of the Eternal-class ship is over a hundred meters long, and such a distance, when they jump into the sea, is no different from falling on hard ground.
