Chapter 171 The Pirate in the Iron Cage
Bang bang bang!
There is no louder sound than the sound of artillery, especially when the sound is ringing in your ears.

The hull of the ship shattered, wood chips splashed, and sea water quickly poured in from the gap.

After the shells hit the target one after another, the only sound that could be heard was the cracking of the ship's hull and the screams of the dying.

Especially when a pitch-black cannonball pierced through the hull and sent a lobster soldier in front of him flying straight away, his whole body was like mud, and slammed hard on the wall of the cabin with a bang.

You will wonder whether you will be the next "lucky one"

And this is what Alonzo Batilla felt in the cabin of the Oxford!
However, facing the swaying cabin around him, the roar of gunfire and screams coming from his ears, he couldn't escape from all this.

Because, at this moment, he is handcuffed and locked in an iron cage that only prisoners can stay in!
If you want to talk about why he was on the Oxford and was locked in an iron cage, you have to go back to a few days ago...

Alonzo Batilla is a promising young man born in the French port city of Marseille.

In his early years, because of his crimes, he joined the navy under a false name in order to evade capture.

During his naval service, he also participated in the War of Spanish Succession, which involved the whole of Europe.

In many battles, he showed bravery and accurate marksmanship, and was called a sharpshooter by his colleagues.

After the war, however, he felt abandoned.

So Batila, who was unwilling to return to France, bought a small boat, recruited several crew members, and began to rob small merchant ships passing by in the Caribbean Sea.

However, perhaps he was too bold, or perhaps he was too unlucky to attack a schooner and was spotted by the nearby British fleet.

After a battle without suspense, all the crew members died in battle, and he himself was handcuffed and thrown into the iron cage in the cabin.

Originally, after the fleet returned to England, what awaited him would be hanging.

However, from the moment the Poseidon stared at this squadron, Alonzo Batilla's fate has undergone a new change...

. . .

In front of the enhanced version of the Piece of Eden Poseidon, this squadron has no power to fight back.

Taking advantage of its speed, the Poseidon continued to move flexibly on the sea surface. While staying away from the artillery range of the enemy ships, it circled around the frigate's obliquely rear attack blind spot and bombarded the ships indiscriminately.

Even if they know the tactics of the Poseidon.But, there's nothing they can do about it.

Because, their ship is not as fast as the Poseidon!
Although each salvo can only be fired from the artillery on one side of the ship, that is, ten guns.

However, the firepower has been increased by 50.00%. A salvo of ten cannons is equivalent to the power of a salvo of fifteen cannons!

Even if the frigate wanted to fight back, it could only watch the Poseidon dodge on the sea surface, chasing its own butt and beating hard.

And the shells fired from the muzzle of the gun on his own ship kept falling on the sea surface near the Poseidon, splashing layers of feeble waves...

With the addition of the Pieces of Eden, the shells of the enemy ships could not hit themselves at all.

And every round of bombardment by oneself caused considerable damage to enemy ships.

This is why the Poseidon was able to fight three against one and still have the upper hand!
Over time, no matter whether it is better equipment or more crew members, it cannot save the defeat.

Soon, the three frigates were sunk or paralyzed by the Poseidon one by one.

The ships turned into pieces of sampans on the sea.

The lobster soldiers who jumped out of the boat to survive could only follow the waves and drift on the sea like headless chickens.

After taking care of the escorting fish and shrimp, the Poseidon began to enjoy the sumptuous meal of Oxford, a third-tier battleship...

A more flexible frigate can't pose any threat to Poseidon.

Not to mention the huge and cumbersome Oxford? !

Amidst Tim Walpole's sword-swinging roar, pitch-black shells shot through the hull one after another, causing damage to the Oxford.

Some had lost arms and legs, while others looked down at their defunct lower bodies seconds before they died and started screaming.

The thick gunpowder smoke, pain and death made the crew of the Oxford feel like they were in hell...

Just as the Poseidon kept suppressing the Oxford with its firepower and was preparing for a boarding battle, Alonzo Batilla, who was in the cabin of the Oxford, was also making the last effort for his own life...

Because the sailors in the cabin were all attracted to the deck, they were ready to fight the pirates to the death.

Therefore, Batila, who was unguarded, could finally save himself without any scruples.

I saw him firmly grasping the iron cage with his handcuffed hands, with a ferocious expression, and using all his strength to lift his legs and kick the door of the iron cage.

The iron door was kicked loudly, but it was still firmly locked.

The seawater pouring in quickly raised the water level of the entire cabin, and it had already submerged his calf.

At the same time, the sound of footsteps came from above the cabin.

Noisy gunshots and shouts, as well as the clash of swords, came in an endless stream.

No matter who the opponent is, it is obvious that they have already attacked the Oxford and started a hand-to-hand battle.

But what does this have to do with him?

On both sides of the battle, no one has time to pay attention to a prisoner who is about to drown in the cabin.

The water level in the cabin is getting higher and higher, and it has already flooded to the thigh.

But he couldn't escape this space swallowed by the sea.

In desperation, Batila could only turn sideways again and again, using his body as a tool, trying to break open the lock of the iron cage.

bang bang bang...

The impacts again and again, besides making Batilla grin his teeth in pain, also made his heart sink bit by bit.

Just as Batila was getting more and more flustered and was about to give up, there was a sudden knocking sound from the sealed wooden door of the cabin.

It seems that someone found this blocked cabin!

At this moment, a fierce desire to survive once again sprouted in Batilla's heart.

He immediately cried out for help:
"Hey! Can you hear me?!"

"There is someone here!"

"Help! Help!"

His voice was so hoarse.

Batilla felt that this might be the loudest time in his 20-plus years of life.

Perhaps they heard the cries for help from inside, and the banging sound behind the wooden door stopped abruptly.

After a few seconds of silence, there was a sudden "bang", and the wooden door of the cabin was slammed open!

Following the collapsed wooden door, what entered the cabin was not a lobster soldier in a red and white uniform, but a bald man with a pair of machetes and a brown vest.

On the strong man's scimitar, there was still a dazzling scarlet.

The eyes of the two meet in the air.

In the next second, before Batila introduced himself, the bald man spoke first:
"who are you?"
