Chapter 70 Gambling Table(2/2)

Three galloping warships separated from the assault ranks and headed towards the three fire ships on the left wing.

As we approached the fireboat, the drum beat of the sailboat changed and turned into a series of fast drums.

The paddlers heard the sound of drums and inserted the oars below the sea surface, firmly pressing them down. The resistance of the paddle boat increased and suddenly slowed down. When the distance was close enough to the fireboat, the sailors at the bow struggled to throw out the iron hook.

Then, the drum beat of the sailboat changed again, and it turned into a slow drum of half a beat.

After hearing the drum beat, the paddlers began to row backwards. As the oars rolled, the sailboat began to slowly retreat and the fireboat was dragged aside.

The whole process was smooth and swift, which stunned Winters on the Glory. He had never thought that the bulky sailing warship could actually make movements as flexible and exquisite as equestrians.

Admiral Narexiao also showed his trump card.

Gallery warships are indeed not suitable for long-distance expeditions, nor are they suitable for combating on the offshore with high winds and high waves. However, this anchorage outside the Lighthouse Harbor is a good place for them to show their skills.

The spies of the Federation saw the sailboats parked in the port, the paddlers stayed on the boat, and the sailors went ashore to rest. They believed that the warships could not fight in a hurry and would take at least several hours to reassemble.

Little did they know that the sailors strictly set up camps according to their warships and prohibited any movement of people. Once there is an emergency, they can quickly assemble and board the ship.

All of this is not only to allow the sailors to rest, but more importantly, to show the enemy as weak and unprepared, and to create fighter opportunities for Drake.

In Drake's view, there are only ten warships available around Naresha. If these ten warships can be defeated, the twelve galleys in the port will not be able to escape.

The remaining troop ship is the meat on the chopping board, and you can eat whatever you want.

These twenty or so warships were the last property of Venetta. After eating this fleet, the Tanirians were in the inner sea. Without the ship, the Venetta people wanted to cross the sea for an expedition.

Lieutenant General Naresha never thought that he could just send the army to the archipelago. He never thought he was a transport team, and his core strategic thinking had never changed. It was just a sentence of "the decisive battle of the fleet."

The existence of the Tanirian fleet alone is a threat to the Venettas. In Nareshaw's view, a fleet decisive battle must be held to solve the problem. Instead of chasing the shadow of the Tanirian fleet on the sea, it is better to find a way to let them come to find themselves.

Now the poisonous snake has crawled out of the nest and wrapped itself in its arms, but it still has to be killed.

"Captain, what should I do?" Drake's first mate asked in panic.

"What are you afraid of? Even if you have more gallops, our warships are not fewer than them." Drake kicked the chair away: "Rise the flag! The main force of Venetta is now being dragged by arson boats. Let's deal with these gallops first, and then deal with Nareshaw!"

Drake pulled out his scimitar and walked to the edge of the forecastle, looking at the sailors chaotic on the deck and shouted: "What are you afraid of? We still have more ships than them! I am afraid now that your descendants will become slaves to the Venetta people in the future! For freedom! For gold! Tonight I will bring you a lot of money that you will never earn in your lifetime!"

The sailors of the "Revenge" were originally on the verge of collapse due to the appearance of the sailing warship, but under Drake's encouragement, they rekindled their fighting spirit and returned to their posts with red eyes.

Sailboats cannot walk head-on against the wind, but can move forward at an acute angle with the wind direction.

The wind blows from the northwest. The Glory originally drove north for a distance. After receiving the order from Lieutenant General Nareshaw, the helmsman used his strength to push the rudder rod in the opposite direction.

With inertia, the Glory turned ninety degrees towards the sea, turning toward the west, with the bow of the ship aiming directly at Drake's flagship.

It is difficult to pass commands to all ships in chaos, but the actions of the Glory are the best commands, and this is the meaning of the flagship.
