The whistling wind and thunder sounded together, setting the atmosphere for this thrilling encounter.
"What's going on! Lorenzo!"
When Shrike rushed into the command room, it was already crowded with people, and he seemed to be the last to arrive.
Every profession has its own expertise. Lorenzo handed over the command of the crew's emergency rescue to Captain Notar, and he discussed how to fight back with Blue Emerald who had arrived.
"We are being attacked by a group of pirates." Lorenzo glanced at the sea, saw flashes of fire, and another round of bombardment, causing the cabin to shake violently again. "I don't know how many of them there are, but attacking at this time is really a good choice."
"Should we speed up the evacuation? If the Morning Advance goes at full speed, they won't be able to catch up with us." Blue Jade suggested. In her opinion, this was the safest solution.
"We can escape, but those cargo ships can't."
Lorenzo immediately rejected Blue Jade's words.
"Does the Morning Advance have any means of counterattack?" Lorenzo asked Captain Notar.
"Yes, but the weapons have not been used in actual sea combat... at least not in this situation," Notar was also shocked by the violent weather. "I don't know how effective they are in actual combat, and they are mainly used to deal with demons."
This was the first time that Notar had seen such a scene. He was wondering if the other party was a lunatic. In such bad weather, normal people would try to escape the storm, but the pirates chose to attack at this time. It could also be that the other party was really alert and seized on this misconception. In short, the Morning Glory Advance was now extremely passive.
"If we can deal with demons, we can deal with humans." Lorenzo shouted, "Be prepared to fight back!"
"Prepare to fight back!"
Seeing this, Captain Notar had no choice but to bite the bullet and issue orders.
Fire flashed again in the gray world, and the Morning Advance was bombarded with rounds of artillery fire. Fortunately, the violent waves made it difficult for the Black Fang's artillery to aim, and only a few shells hit the armor of the ship. But the good times did not last long. Intense flames ignited on the deck, and a shell hit it, splashing fireworks.
The hull of the ironclad ship was protected by solid armor, but the structures on the deck were completely exposed. Notar turned the steering wheel vigorously, adjusting the angle of the Morning Advance as much as possible.
The engine roared, black smoke rose from the huge chimney, and sparks flew in the wind.
"Fire the fixed artillery!"
Notar gave the order, but was stopped by Lorenzo.
"Wait! Don't fire yet."
Lorenzo stared at the Black Fang behind the raging waves, which was keeping a safe distance from the Morning Advance.
"what are you up to?"
Notar had no idea what was wrong with Lorenzo. He had clearly vowed to fight back, but at this critical moment he stopped.
"Our inclination angle is not high enough, so it's hard for fixed artillery to hit us. Firing rashly will only alert the enemy. We must show weakness now." Lorenzo gave a terrifying smile, "Show weakness, find the right moment, and kill them with one strike."
In this boring life at sea, Lorenzo read a lot about ironclad ships to kill time, and a new plan came into his mind.
