Chapter 447: Chapter 419: Killing a Boat in Ten Steps

The Navy and the Army are not the same concept. For example, an army of 10,000 might not count for much if it’s a land force, but if it’s a naval force, it’s quite terrifying, essentially a massive fleet’s total strength.

Similarly, sea battles and land battles are not the same concept. In land battles, sheer numbers can prevail, even if your army’s combat quality is several notches below the enemy’s; a multitude of ants can overwhelm an elephant, and as cannon fodder, they can also overwhelm the enemy. But sea battles are completely different. Sea battles make high demands on the quality of warships and sailors; just one notch below the enemy in terms of quality, and you might be beaten so badly you can’t find your way back, not to mention that even battles between equally matched forces can be decisively influenced by different winds and currents.

It is precisely because sea battles are so peculiar that some Kingdom Navies are utterly helpless against those highly skilled pirates, unable to eradicate them even with a 100-to-1 advantage in forces. Sea battles are definitely a high-tech affair!

It is with this deep understanding that Da Fei, after being tempered by the Pool of Radiance National War, is utterly fearless in the face of the siege by the Royal Guild! This feeling of being accelerated by the storm really reminds me of when the Flying used Magic Sails in the Pool of Radiance. However, the sailboats operating in the port are far inferior to the galley assault ships during the National War. Da Fei really isn’t afraid of them, not to mention having the coastal defense force as a solid backbone.

Brother is going to show you what it means to be a tiger among sheep!

Of course, Da Fei first targets the “Magic Jelly” and “Wave” that are pincering him. After being attacked by the enemy, Da Fei immediately counterattacks. The deck is packed with Secret Archers shooting left and right, and a volley of arrows instantly clears the enemy’s deck of all sailors and miscellaneous troops!

Without sailors, who’s going to manage the sails? With no one to manage the sails, how can their ships turn? Without the ability to turn, how can the side gun cabins of their ships’ Crossbow Cannons pursue the Octopus? Don’t even talk about chasing; now these two ships have become floating logs adrift, and as soon as the Octopus gets to their bow, they become sitting ducks! This is the essential difference between sailing ships and rowing ships, and the outcome of the battle is decided in this very moment!

That’s right! Sea battles are not just about Crossbow Cannon bombardments. Deck battles are also of paramount importance to naval warfare. How can you keep playing if someone so easily clears your deck? Therefore, looking at the Kingdom Navies or famous pirates, the sailors and forces on the deck are the elite of the ship, and there is a Deputy Officer position of Sailor Captain specially responsible for deck battles. Like the last time Da Fei visited Fire Dragon Island, the dwarves on the deck of the Flame Lord’s huge ship were definitely elites, remaining calm even when facing giant Sea Monsters.

Hence, naval warfare is definitely not something that these temporarily conscripted Royal ships can play around with. But, since they are temporary workers, there must be some compensation, right? Well, then Brother will compensate you till it hurts!

The Octopus, under the gusts of the storm, quickly breaks out from the pincer attack by the two ships and makes a sharp turn, positioning itself broadside behind both ships! The stern is the weakest defense part of the whole ship, and the Defense of a Medium Ship from the factory is between 25-35, which is on par with the Attack of the Crossbow Cannons, making the damage dealt by Crossbow Cannons the biggest threat to them.

Da Fei bursts into laughter: “Give Brother a good old burst!”

Guild members in the Gun Cabin excitedly shout: “Burst!”

Bang bang!!! Two loud booms from the Gun Cabin, and two Crossbow Arrows howl out, blasting two 400-point damage holes in the stern of that ridiculously named “Seven Seas Dominator” Sea Wolf!

Everyone cheers in unison: “Awesome!”

But Da Fei is shocked on the spot! Damn! How is this awesome? The damage is pathetic! A Medium Ship has a Durability of 30,000, you know! In a flock of sheep, Brother is, of course, seeking a quick battle and decisive victory! But thinking about it, it makes sense. With so many Secondary professions and Basic Attribute Points being three to four times that of ordinary players, the power of the Crossbow Cannon is three to four times that of an ordinary player’s, how can we measure ordinary players by Brother’s standard?

However, this is exactly the time for Brother to establish a towering Guild leader image in front of the members, and an unbeatable War God image in front of the enemy!

Da Fei then pats the shoulder of One Sword Eastward: “Let Brother go down to the Gun Cabin, and leave the steering to you. You saw Brother’s demonstration just now; you should know how to play these fools to death with a fast ship, right?”

One Sword Eastward eagerly replies: “Understood! I’m very familiar with the performance of the Octopus. Leave it to me!”

Da Fei nods: “Good, since they dare to go red-named, let’s take the chance to burst them till it’s satisfying!”

One Sword Eastward says excitedly: “Absolutely bursting fun! I won’t let anyone off that can be taken down!” This is indeed One Sword Eastward’s heartfelt truth; the more he assists in tyranny and kills, the more enemies he makes.

But Da Bing expresses doubt: “But Brother Fei, what if your Vice Hero runs out of Mana and the wind stops?”

Selvia’s Sea Soul Staff still has 1500 points of Mana. How could it stop? But this reminds Brother.

Da Fei fits the newly looted Mana Source to Selvia, while laughing and patting Da Bing’s shoulder: “When the Mana stops, that will be the time when the fools are cleared from the field.”

Da Bing excitedly said, “Good! Brother Fei, leave this to us!”

…

Da Fei hurried to the gun cabin, where Da Meng B and three other highest-level computer department members respectfully said, “Welcome, Brother Fei, to oversee us!”

Ah, how shall I begin giving advice? Let’s start with a bang! Da Fei chuckled and said, “I’ve got a big appetite, I want to fire two crossbow cannons at once!”

The members were all taken aback, then exclaimed in shock, “Could it be that Brother Fei is a Master-level Crossbow Cannoneer?!”

“Sharp insight!” Da Fei laughed heartily and stomped on the trigger–“Bang! Pop!” “Bang! Pop!” “Bang! Pop!”–two crossbow cannons fired thrice in quick succession, sending six crossbow arrows whistling out–“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!” Six rows of exaggerated damage numbers explosively appeared:

“-1211!” “Shattering Strike damage -2443!” “-1295!” “-1263!” “Shattering Strike damage -2613!” “-1265!”

In that instant, the whole team was blown away, “My God! Brother Fei’s damage is terrifying!” “He just wiped out 10,000 durability from the enemy in one go!” “What’s this Shattering Strike damage?”

Indeed! What’s this Shattering Strike damage? Of course, it’s the special skill from my Divine Artifact Necklace! Honestly, even I’m shocked by the damage from this Shattering Strike! I’ve never had such a blast sinking ships before!

Da Fei laughingly asked, “Classmates, what happens when a ship’s local durability is damaged by more than half?”

Da Bing excitedly answered, “It might disintegrate on the spot!!!”

Da Fei laughed heartily, “That’s why, classmates, when using crossbow cannons, aim at one spot on the opponent’s ship, don’t fire randomly all over!”

Though it was the most basic principle of the game, with Da Fei’s personal demonstration, it seemed exceptionally persuasive and shocking, and all the students roared with excitement as if they had been injected with adrenaline, “Brother Fei is right!”

At this moment, the students had already rapidly loaded the crossbow cannon ammunition with all hands on deck, and Da Fei laughed again, “Alright, let me send it on its way to disintegration!”

Da Fei triggered yet another burst, and more crossbow arrows roared out–Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Amidst flying splinters, the stern of the Sea Wolf was shattered to pieces and collapsed with a thunderous tilt as tons of seawater surged in!

–Team Channel: Team member Da Fei has successfully dealt critical damage leading to the disintegration of the “Sea Wolf,” a ship owned by the red-named player “Seven Seas Dominator.” The Sea Wolf is on the verge of sinking.

The whole team erupted in cheers! Simultaneously, the entire region exploded in astonishment!

Two volleys of crossbow cannons were enough to take down a medium ship, just how formidable was Da Fei’s strength? And within the interval of two crossbow cannon volleys, the Royal Fleet’s encirclement hadn’t managed to advance 10 meters in this calm harbor! This was like sinking a ship every ten steps!

Not wanting to disappoint the audience afar holding their telescopes high, the next round of crossbow cannons thunderously fired, and coincidentally, a rainbow light ascended into the sky!

–Boom! Another thunderous roar as the Magic Jelly instantly followed in the Wave’s fate!

This time it was obliteration with a single shot! In that moment, the whole regional channel went wild!

Royal Blade was stunned with their eyes wide open! They could neither outrun him nor outfight him; was there still a point to their next move? Advance! He was just sitting there blasting ships; our encirclement was getting tighter, conveniently, two Red Name Ships were knocked out so there wouldn’t be any coast guard interference. If not now, then when? We, the Royal Family, will fight this trash to the end!

At this time, in the sea where the ships sank, the figures of struggling red-named players emerged from the water, and Da Fei laughed heartily, “Classmates, it’s time for the Royal Family to hand over their gear!”

The whole team burst into laughter! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to vote for recommendation tickets, and monthly passes on Qidian (wuxiaworld.site). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.wuxiaworld.site to continue reading.)
