On the Seven Towers

The Fire Cloud also quickly began to bombard the pirate ship in front. In order to show its strength, Eselite ordered the three main guns and three secondary guns on the bow to fire at the same time.

When the fifteen gun barrels of this steel monster spurted out flames one after another, the scene was very spectacular.

However, Huang Zheng found that their ship was not equipped with radar and the fire control system was very simple, so although the scene was grand, the effect was not as good as the first shot of the Houyi.

The two ships chased by the Fire Cloud had no intention of fighting back, but just ran away desperately at full speed.

On the other side, the Houyi was already distributed in an isosceles triangle with the two enemy ships, and both sides could see the figures on their respective ships.

The Houyi did not change its target and kept staring at the first ship. Finally, in this round of shooting, a shell hit the stern of the pirate ship.

The pirate ships were all converted from civilian ships. This ship just had some thin armor on the side of the ship, and then some naval guns and even field guns from nowhere were installed on the deck. The actual defense of such a ship is not even as good as that of a wooden sailing ship with a defensive reinforcement array.

Houyi was equipped with armor-piercing shells at this time. The shells penetrated the weak armor of the pirate ship, passed through the cabin under the deck, and went out from the other side. This was because the shells had too much penetration, resulting in over-penetration. Instead, they did not cause an explosion in the ship.

Except for one or two pirates who were knocked down by the shock, the pirates did not suffer major losses. The pirates who found it was a false alarm immediately started to fight back.

Esselit was confident in Huoyun, and he handed the command of the pursuit to the first mate. He had been observing the battle situation on the other side with a telescope. Seeing the effect of the opponent's shells penetrating the armor, he knew that the power of these East Continental shells was not inferior to his own. Take the Red Cloud for example, this level of shells is enough to penetrate its armor, and there will be no over-penetration, and there will definitely be an explosion in the cabin.

The gunners on the sailboat seemed to have learned their lesson and changed the type of shells. When another shell hit the pirate ship, flames rose from the deck, and the crystal explosives in the shell exploded violently, lifting the rear deck and the two guns on it into the sky.

The third shell hit the middle of the pirate ship, and it actually exploded with electric light all over the sky. These electric currents were transmitted to various positions along the metal hull.

Nearly half of the pirates on the deck twitched and fell to the ground. The few people closest to the shell landing point were charred all over and almost roasted.

"What's going on!" The scene in front of him was beyond Esselit's understanding. His common sense could not explain how this electric current shell worked.

"This is an elemental shell, that is, a shell that uses elemental magic to kill the enemy. Electric current is just one of them." Huang Zheng said.

If the armor-piercing shells in front of him were similar to the equipment of the Western Continental Navy, the threat of this elemental shell was much greater. Esselit couldn't help but glance at the ground of the bridge, which was also made of metal. If that kind of shell hits his ship, it can be transmitted to almost any part of the ship. If it hits the metal wall near the bridge, it can directly behead his command center. The only solution is to sink the other party first.

On the sea, the pirate ship that was hit by three bullets has completely lost control. Those who have not been electrocuted on it. Either run around like crazy, or hide in the corner and dare not come out, and some even choose to jump into the sea directly. But Houyi is like a ruthless killer and is not going to let them go.

Another armor-piercing shell hits the position near the waterline, and the pirate ship begins to leak and capsize, completely losing its combat effectiveness.

At this time, another pirate ship approached very decisively. It took advantage of Houyi's lack of time to attack it, quickly approached Houyi, and then began to fire at close range.

Eserit felt that Houyi was in danger, because even those broken cannons on the pirate ship would definitely cause fatal damage to a wooden ship at such a distance.

But the scene that appeared afterwards stunned him. A transparent barrier appeared on the Houyi, and all the shells that the pirate ship fired at the barrier exploded in mid-air. But no fire or shrapnel flew into the transparent area. The bombardment that should have caused damage to the ship was intercepted by a magical force.

"Is this also the power of magic?" asked Eselite.

Huang Zheng said: "Yes, that is what you call the power of the devil. In fact, this kind of power is also very powerful when used to protect something, isn't it?"

The shield of the Houyi not only stunned Eselite, but also made the pirates on the opposite pirate ship at a loss. They suddenly realized that the other party let them approach not because of a decision-making error, but because they were completely fearless.

After the Houyi showed the power of its shield, it aimed its guns at the opposite pirate ship. This time, because the distance was too close, the first salvo exploded two sparks on the pirate ship.

Then in just a few minutes, the pirate ship became the target ship of the Houyi. Colorful elemental shells exploded on the ship one after another, ice, fire, acid, and electricity. After being washed by various magical powers, the ship quickly turned into debris and sank to the bottom of the sea.

At this time, a shell from the Huoyun hit the side of the pirate ship it was chasing.

At the same time, the Houyi had turned around and was outflanking another fleeing pirate ship.

This time it no longer used close-in tactics, but started firing shells from a long distance.

When Huoyun finally fired a shell into the middle of the pirate ship, breaking it in half, Houyi's intensive fire also hit the stern of the fourth ship, creating a large hole there. The bow of the pirate ship was raised high, and the people fell from it, and then sank quickly like a dagger inserted into the sea.

Houyi turned an arc, passed in front of Huoyun, and headed in the direction where Xingtian and El Shield were anchored. When they passed by the rescued merchant ship, the people on the merchant ship cheered and roared happily. They who survived the disaster gave the most enthusiastic praise to Houyi.

Eserite stared at the back of Houyi in a daze, his heart was full of shock. He calculated the possible results of his battle with this ship in his mind, but he couldn't find a way to win. He never thought that magic could be used in this way. Compared with the power these people possessed, the wizards and witches who were captured before were simply babies who knew nothing.

Huang Zheng said: "Three to one, it looks like we won."
