"Because his ship is a Noble Phantasm, just like my flag, the performance of a Noble Phantasm ship will be better than ours."
Lin Qi also took out his own treasure and explained at the same time.
"Oh~, that's the Servant or something you were talking about, right?"
Drake recalled Lin Qi’s popular science presentation yesterday and said with an “I understand” look on his face.
However, based on Lin Qi's brief explanation, we don't know how much Drake understood.
But Drake was clearly aware of the current situation. He looked around and gave a decisive order:
"Bombey! You take the helm and tell the brothers to find a suitable direction to escape. The rest of you, use your cannonballs to deal with that stubborn guy!"
"okay!"
Bombey ran over and took over the rudder after Drake let go.
Drake was able to get out of his position, then he held onto the railing in front of him and jumped onto the deck. He took two steps at a time to the side and looked at the warship that was much larger than his Golden Deer.
Just a little visual estimation.
At this speed...it won't be long before we're caught up!
"Tsk! It would be great if there was a strong wind, preferably a stormy one!"
Derek smacked his lips.
The enemy's ship is much larger than theirs, and should have been more cumbersome. I don't know how they managed to run so fast.
But it also has something to do with the current weather. There is no wind right now. Otherwise, even if the opponent's ship is weird, Drake is confident that his Golden Deer will not lose to other ships in terms of speed!
After hearing Drake's words, Lin Qi looked up at the sky.
Although there are clouds, the sun is shining brightly and it doesn't look like a storm is coming, right?
"Big sister! All our shells were bounced off! They have no effect at all!"
Amid the roar of cannons and the pungent smoke, a pirate spoke hurriedly to Drake.
I saw small black dots streaking across the sky under the power of gunpowder. Although they hit the enemy's ships, no matter where they hit, they would be bounced off and no damage was caused.
"Ahh, I saw it!"
Drake is not blind, so he is clear about things that can be seen at a glance.
"Speaking of which, this Noble Phantasm ship is really awesome, isn't it? Not only is it fast, but its defensive power is also outrageous!"
Drake bit his lip and actually became envious.
You know, even her Golden Deer is not that powerful!
If I get the chance in the future, I must make the Golden Deer as powerful as this one - no, it must be more powerful than that dead beard's ship!
Lin Qi didn't know what Drake was thinking, but Lin Qi found that the seniors had not used a single shell that he had modified, so he hurriedly reminded them:
"Use the cannonballs I drew Rune on, that one is more powerful!"
"Lune? Are these the ones?"
A pirate who thought Lin Qi was scribbling on the cannonball picked up a Rune cannonball at his feet and gestured to Lin Qi.
"Yes! Use it now!"
The pirates did not suspect anything and hurriedly loaded the shells into the cannon, then covered their ears and fired it.
The cannonballs once again streaked across the sky, making a "whoosh" sound and accurately hit the enemy's ship.
"boom!"
Unlike the previous ones that were bounced off immediately, this time the shell burst into a fierce flame the moment it hit, burning a certain Blackbeard who was running all over the deck without dodging or avoiding and with a look of arrogance on his face.
I could see the other person was screaming and swearing, but the distance was too far and I couldn't hear anything.
But I can guess that the other party’s curse must have been very unpleasant.
"Wuhu! Great! Well done!"
Drake, who had been staring at the shell, saw this and cheered with relief.
The other pirates found that it actually worked, and they cheered for joy.
"Damn it, little newbie, you have no moral principles. You haven't even given us such a good thing to use!"
There were also pirates who liked to fire cannons and felt itchy when they saw the effects of the cannonballs, and couldn't help but complain.
"Is it possible that the shells have always been there?"
In response, Lin Qi just silently pointed to the Rune shells that no one cared about.
The pirate immediately laughed awkwardly.
Could he say that his brothers subconsciously ignored the shells after seeing some incomprehensible graffiti painted on them?
"Go, go, go! I must explode this awesome shell!"
The pirate who was thoughtful had already run to his cannon with several shells.
"Fuck! Leave some for me!"
The pirate who was a step slower cursed and rushed forward to grab the shells.
This made Lin Qi, who wanted to say "the quantity is limited, use it sparingly", shut his mouth silently.
at this time.
"Oh no! The enemy's artillery shells are coming too!"
"Hide quickly!"
The panicked roar penetrated the noisy deck and reached the ears of everyone with normal hearing.
Before he could finish his words, some pirates who were standing in dangerous positions skillfully hid behind nearby cover.
"call out--"
Along with the whistling sound of the wind, several solid shells hit the Golden Deer, causing a harsh and vibrating sound.
Everyone on the boat felt a vibration under their feet.
When the noise died down, everyone and the dog poked their heads out from behind their cover.
Only then did they realize with surprise that their own Golden Deer had not suffered any damage from the bombardment just now!
There are only some slight cracks on some of the wooden boards.
"Big sister! Our Golden Deer has also become strange!"
Bessie exclaimed upon seeing this.
"Don't be such a loser! Their ships can withstand the shells, so why can't ours?"
Although he was scolding, Drake was also looking at his beloved ship happily.
It was somewhat possible to guess that it was due to the fact that Lin Qi spent a lot of effort in drawing Rune, so Drake was not too proud and continued to command his younger brothers.
"Hurry! Don't stop, keep hitting them! Don't give them the chance to hit us!"
"Oh——" ×N
The pirates responded and began firing non-stop.
At the same time, Drake took out his musket and prepared for battle.
The Rune shells made by Lin Qi are indeed effective, but the effect is not that great. Moreover, the quantity is limited, so it is obviously impossible to sink the enemy's warships.
The two sides began to bombard each other from the center gate, and the sound of artillery firecrackers echoed on the sea one after another, just like the sound of firecrackers during the New Year.
The shells were thrown at the enemy's ships as if they were free.
The strange thing is that the attacks of both sides had little effect.
The Rune shells were powerful, but they were engraved on metal shells after all, and posed little threat to Blackbeard's ship.
In contrast, the enemy's artillery shells posed little threat as Rune and Lin Qi occasionally activated their treasures for defense.
There is an illusion that both sides are doing useless work.
It wasn't long before the Golden Deer's ammunition reserves began to run out.
"Report to the big sister, the ammunition is almost used up, do you want to continue fighting?"
"...Forget it. The enemy can't hurt us anyway, so let's save some shells."
Drake looked at the enemy ships getting closer and closer and gave up attacking with artillery.
Then the gunfire on the Golden Deer stopped first.
Seeing this, Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge gave up its futile efforts and stopped its artillery bombardment.
The two sides ceased fire and moved much closer to each other. Blackbeard, who was full of anger, stood at the front of his warship.
He yelled at Lin Qi and others:
"Which bastard fired the first shot? Get out there, damn it!!"
A lot of his beard and hair were burnt off. Edward Teach looked embarrassed and was so angry that his chest felt like there was an air pump installed. He stared at the members of the Golden Hart with flaming eyes.
If this was just the first time this happened, Blackbeard wouldn't be so angry.
But this happened more than once!
He only met Drake twice in total, and both times he started with the same opening.
A shell came from nowhere and hit him right on the head.
If he wasn't a Servant with a strong physique, he would have been killed right away! !
What’s more, it happened twice!
Twice!
Later, there was even an inexplicable shell that burned his beard and hair.
He had embarrassed himself in front of Mary and Anne again!
——Although he doesn't care.
Hearing Blackbeard's roar, the first gunner of the Golden Deer blew a whistle, his eyes wandering, and he retreated behind the crowd as if nothing had happened.
If he remembered correctly, it seemed that he was the one who fired the three shells that hit Blackbeard...
Although you have become famous, it is better not to take credit for it.

Shelf comments (drop collection comments)
This is actually not the first time I’ve been on the shelves, so there’s nothing much to be emotional about, so let’s just chat casually.
First of all, I would like to thank all the readers who have read this far. Thank you for supporting this book even though my writing is not that good.
Let me make a promise here and now that I will finish this book no matter what. Even if I don’t want to write it one day, I will list the outline for the future and put it at the end.
I don’t know whether I have credibility in your hearts, but anyway, I have written books with more than one million words. The only book that didn’t even have a sequel was because I gave up because I couldn’t even get a contract.
I feel bad when I talk about this. After all, I have written 0 words for the re14 book, and I have tried all the methods of deleting the book and reposting it, but in the end, I only have less than collections (covering my face)
And this book, maybe because the introduction was really well written, surpassed the collection number of my failed book in just two days.
My writing style and control over the plot rhythm of this book are definitely not that good. Those who have read this far must prefer the story I constructed in the introduction. Moreover, many readers will probably just save it and come back to read it after defeating Goetia. I have nothing to say about this. If what I want to read has not appeared, I will definitely wait until the content I want to read appears before reading it. After all, my writing skills are not so good that they can be criticized.
As for the fact that some people think the introduction is a scam... Well, some people say that the content of the introduction will appear at the beginning of the novel? I will just write there sooner or later. If the content of the introduction really appears at the beginning, it is probably a flashback writing style, or a movie watching style.
But I was very strict in setting labels for novels in the beginning. I was not good at writing about growth, so I did not put a growth label on it, but instead wrote about upgrading. I did not make the protagonist invincible at the beginning, so I did not put a label on it. As for the movie-watching style, I don't like it at all. No matter who wrote it or how good it was, I have never read more than a hundred chapters. I just change my taste sometimes.
Let's talk about the plot after this book. Because of the writing skills, I think the story after that is actually a pretty bland story. It's just that the protagonist conquers all the singularities one by one.
Some people think this book is tragic? I think it is a healthy, sunny and positive story.
Its tone is not tragedy. I don’t like to abuse the protagonist. I set the protagonist’s origin as [Link] not to make him unable to get what he wants, but to hope that he will get what he wants.
I am an ordinary person, I grew up in an ordinary way, and nothing memorable has ever happened to me, so this story is destined to be an ordinary story.
I like that good people will be rewarded, that justice will be upheld, and that hard work will be rewarded.
So the protagonist's ending will definitely be good, and he will get everything he wants in the end.
