Chapter 89
Mills, who was carefully observing the firepower deployment on the island ahead, felt at a loss after seeing the opponent's dense defensive posture.
Hearing Mills' question, Blite remained silent for a long while before speaking with a dignified expression:
"Charge forward!" "Let's first test the strength of the Rocks Pirates!"
With Blite's command given, Mills began directing the fleet behind him.
Under his command, the Iron Wall Pirates fleet began advancing in an orderly manner toward the island where the Rocks Pirates were located.
Standing on the high platform, Rocks, who was observing the battlefield situation, saw the Iron Wall Pirates fleet charging over. The smile on his face instantly vanished, and his expression turned serious.
Rocks looked at the oppressive fleet group ahead and began calculating the distance between both sides in his mind.
Time passed minute by minute. The Iron Wall Pirates soon entered the firing range of the Rocks Pirates' cannons.
Seeing the opponent finally enter their cannon range, the corners of Rocks' mouth curled uncontrollably, and he let out bursts of excited laughter.
"Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha!" "Little ones! Give the Iron Wall Pirates some fireworks!"
With Rocks' laughter falling, in the port, the Rocks Pirates crew members who had been warily watching the Iron Wall Pirates fleet immediately aimed their black cannon muzzles at the nearest Iron Wall Pirates ships.
"Fire!"
With Rocks' command, thunderous cannon fire instantly resounded across the entire island.
The violent sounds of cannon fire shook the port slightly.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
With cannonballs carrying whistling sounds, they rapidly flew toward the Iron Wall Pirates fleet.
In an instant, the Iron Wall Pirates fleet suffered massive casualties. Several pirate ships were even directly sunk.
Some pirates who narrowly survived saw their ships sinking into the sea and had no choice but to jump into the water and swim quickly toward the nearest pirate ship.
Seeing this situation, Mills, who was commanding the battle, immediately ordered the Iron Wall Pirates ships to disperse.
"Counterattack!"
Under Mills' command, the Iron Wall Pirates fleet quickly spread out. All the main cannons of the pirate ships immediately fired toward the Rocks Pirates' firepower points.
With streaks of red firelight splashing sparks shooting into the sky, powerful cannonballs streaked across the horizon like meteors, rapidly blasting toward the Rocks Pirates' firepower points.
In a moment, several of the firepower points arranged by Rocks were directly blown into the air.
Huge flames rose like mushroom clouds, and the Rocks Pirates crew at those firepower points were instantly blasted to pieces by the enemy's cannon fire.
Vilin, seeing such a cruel scene, was somewhat shocked.
Perhaps because he had become accustomed to slaughter over the past three years, he quickly recovered and casually pulled the trembling Annie into his arms.
Annie felt Vilin's solid embrace and, after calming down for a while, continued to observe the battle.
Rocks saw that the Iron Wall Pirates' firepower was unexpectedly powerful, and his palms couldn't help clenching tightly.
But he still calmly observed the battle.
On the sea, after the initial chaos, the Iron Wall Pirates quickly adjusted.
At this moment, the Iron Wall Pirates fleet began constantly maneuvering on the sea surface, dodging the cannon fire from the island while frantically counterattacking.
Both sides engaged in fierce battle around this unknown island.
Seeing such a brutal fight, the Aitrias Pirates women also showed grave expressions.
But when they saw Vilin's tall figure on the high platform, their originally tense moods quickly relaxed.
At the highest point of the Steel Fortress, Blite was observing the battle. When he saw his fleet gaining the upper hand, a satisfied look finally appeared on his serious face.
He couldn't help praising Mills:
"Hahahahaha!" "Well done!" "Keep attacking!" "I want to let these arrogant brats see the strength of a New World overlord."
With Blite's loud laughter, Mills, who was commanding the battle behind him, also showed an excited expression on his face.
This was the first time he had commanded such a large-scale naval battle, and it made him feel exhilarated.
As the Iron Wall Pirates gained the upper hand, his command became even more confident.
Under the Iron Wall Pirates' continuous attacks, the Rocks Pirates' casualties also began to increase rapidly.
Seeing this situation, the elite crew members of the Rocks Pirates immediately led their squads into the battlefield.
Soon they used their weapons to block the falling cannonballs.
After the Rocks Pirates' elite crew joined the battlefield, the Rocks Pirates crew also began launching crazy retaliation toward the Iron Wall Pirates fleet.
One pirate ship after another sailing on the sea instantly suffered dense firepower strikes, and soon dozens more pirate ships were sunk into the sea.
Rocks, standing on the high platform commanding the battle, saw the situation on the battlefield starting to reverse, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing large sailboats being destroyed one after another on the sea, the tense look on Rocks' cheeks also softened somewhat.
He let out excited bursts of happy laughter.
"Hahahahaha!" "Little ones! That's it — hit them hard!" "Let the Iron Wall Pirates see the strength of our Rocks Pirates!"
Vilin, standing on the high platform watching the battle, heard Rocks' loud laughter and couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth.
He inwardly complained:
What strength?If not for the elite pirates of the Rocks Pirates blocking the incoming cannonballs,the Rocks Pirates' cannon fodder would have been blown to death long ago by the falling shells.
As the Iron Wall Pirates' casualties gradually increased, Blite, observing the battle, saw his eyes gradually sharpen.
Mills, standing beside Blite and commanding the battle, saw that twenty ships had already sunk into the sea, and his face instantly darkened.
The other three executives saw the two fall silent, and they also perked up, afraid Blite would take it out on them.
As the distance between the two pirate crews continued to close, casualties on both sides began to rise rapidly.
Seeing thousands of his subordinates already dead, both Rocks and Blite felt immense heartache
