We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 326 Head-on crushing, sweeping away everything!
With Richard's command.

Numerous vampire warships immediately sped out like wild horses.

It must be said that, under Richard's command, the captains of these warships all demonstrated remarkable tactical skills.

They didn't rush towards the Black Swan recklessly; instead, they adjusted their course and angle to surround it from all sides.

The speed was swift and disciplined, as if it had been prepared in advance.

One of the crew members even shouted, "Watch out for that ghost ship's phantom!"

—After the last breakout battle, the existence of the "ghost ship" is no longer a secret among these vampires.

However, most people still find it difficult to associate that ghost ship with the infamous Diamond Star.

Moreover, its appearance was so brief that it didn't even seem like a real ship.

Therefore, many vampires believe that the appearance of the ghost ship was just a secret ability of Shain.

This spell is equivalent to temporarily summoning a phantom of a "ghost ship" to attack.

It is powerful, of course.

However, there are also limitations to its use.

The vampires' conjecture may sound absurd, but it is actually quite reasonable.

After all, no normal person would have imagined this—

The legendary Diamond Star has surprisingly regained its owner, who is willingly hiding in the reflection of the Black Swan.

However, judging from the actions of the vampire warships...

They had clearly learned from their previous experience, gained a deeper understanding of the Black Swan, and even adopted a set of tactics specifically designed to counter it.

At this moment, the vampire warships were like hyenas on the grassland.

It maintains a certain distance from the Black Swan, yet it is like a large net enveloping it, ready to launch a deadly attack at any moment.

However, despite the perilous situation, Xia En's expression remained unchanged throughout.

Even the course of the Black Swan remained unchanged.

His goal is very clear!
Regardless of the tactics the vampires intend to employ, Shaun's primary objective remains the [Crimson Baron]!
Capture the thief first and capture the king!
Once their leader Richard is eliminated, the remaining vampires will quickly collapse.

So the Black Swan headed straight for the Crimson Baron, leaving only a trail of white foam in its wake.

"Hmm? So you're actually trying to use me as a breakthrough point?"

Richard, on deck, quickly saw through Shane's intentions and couldn't help but sneer.

"Very well, it seems I really underestimated you!"

"Go, activate the [Blood Slaughter Array] and sacrifice all the blood offerings."

Upon hearing this, the first mate beside him was visibly surprised: "All of them?"

For vampires, "blood food," which refers to slaves on ships, is a very important resource when sailing at sea.

Once exhausted, the crew's fighting ability will be greatly reduced, and they may even fight each other or go mad.

Richard's order was quite significant.

Despite his surprise, the first mate didn't hesitate and immediately relayed the order.

Immediately afterwards, deep inside the ship's hold, the throats of prisoners and slaves were slit one after another.

Their blood dripped onto the floor, then gathered together under the influence of some mysterious force and was transported to a deeper place.

It's like... this [Crimson Baron] is greedily sucking the blood of the slaves!
That's right, just like the Black Swan, the Crimson Baron is also a living ship!
Of course, its activation level is not as high as that of the Black Swan.

The crucial ship's spirit is still in its nascent, unawakened stage.

Even so, this ship possesses some unique abilities that surpass those of ordinary ships.

This is one of the reasons why Richard dared to confront the Black Swan head-on!

At this point, after absorbing the blood of countless people, the hull of the [Crimson Baron] became even more crimson.

Furthermore, a dark red, unidentified substance seeped out from the hull and deck.

Like a layer of dark red armor, it enveloped the entire [Crimson Baron], making it look exceptionally ferocious and terrifying.

Like a samurai from a bygone era clad in bizarre armor, just looking at him is unsettling.

Moreover, at the front of the ship, where the ram was located, a particularly large amount of dark red substance had condensed, forming a weapon that resembled both a gun and a knife.

However, this weapon is unusually large, as if it were a weapon used by a legendary giant!

It's not hard to imagine.

What an earth-shattering scene it would be when this blood-red spear collides with the enemy ship.

After being covered with this layer of armor, the entire aura of the [Crimson Baron] changed abruptly.

It seemed to have transformed into a demon returned from hell, about to tear apart and devour its enemy with the most cruel means.

The changes to the Crimson Baron naturally boosted the morale of all the vampires nearby, who couldn't help but erupt in cheers.

Seeing this, Xia En was not surprised but delighted, his fighting spirit burning like flames in his eyes.

If we're going to have a fair and square battle, what's the point of crushing ordinary ships?
Only such an extraordinary warship is qualified to be the opponent of the Black Swan in its first battle after its transformation!
woo-

As if sensing Shane's emotions, the Black Swan responded with a loud, long cry.

It also displayed a high level of fighting spirit and was extremely excited.

At this moment, Xia En and Xiao Hei seemed to be of one mind!

This further increased the already incredible speed of the Black Swan.

A tangible black mystic power lingered around the Black Swan.

It makes it resemble a giant beast from the deep sea, launching a violent charge amidst raging winds and waves.

It only took a few breaths.

The distance, which had been steadily decreasing during the previous journey, was now closing to an extremely dangerous level.

The turbulence created by the two ships speeding along had already caused them to collide violently.

Intersection, entanglement, battle...

Just like the aura surrounding the Black Swan and the Crimson Baron.

Indeed, in the current situation, not only the Secret Pathfinders, but even the two extraordinary warships have exuded an aura that transcends common sense.

Furthermore, a fierce confrontation ensued as the two sides approached each other.

This no longer resembles a battle between two ships.

It's more like a giant beast from the deep sea, engaging in close combat with demons from hell.

this moment.

Everyone still alive in this area held their breath, their eyes fixed on the two ships. They too wanted to know which side would emerge victorious in this battle between extraordinary warships.

Boom! ! !
The first thing to collide was the barrier and enchantment formed by secret forces around the two ships.

The clash between black and red caused waves to surge and crash on the nearby sea.

Submarine creatures fled the area long ago, fearing they would be affected.

The intense aftershocks also created giant waves at least ten meters high, forcing back the nearest vampire warships.

Immediately afterwards, the two ships' massive rams collided!

Normally, at such high speeds, it would be almost impossible to hit the other side's ram so precisely.

However, with Shane's perfect control over the Black Swan, it wasn't particularly difficult.

Furthermore, Shane could even make the Black Swan complete the impact at a more tricky angle, tilting slightly.

With a loud clang, like the tolling of a bell, the entire sea trembled.

This is a clash of unpretentious power and mystery.

It was like two incredibly large swords being clashed by two giants.

However, the result was not what the vampires had expected. Instead of crushing the previous ships, the ram of the Black Swan was broken off.

Quite the opposite.

After a brief standoff, a long rift suddenly appeared on the dark red ram of the Crimson Baron.

Subsequently, the crack continued to spread and expand outward, eventually covering the entire ram like a spider web.

Click... click...

A series of cracking sounds quickly came from the ram.

"How...how could this happen?"

Richard's eyes widened in astonishment, his face showing a shock he had never seen before.

After the Blood Slaughter Array was deployed, the Crimson Baron has never lost a head-on collision with any other ship!
However, the Crimson Baron is currently at a disadvantage.

Moreover, it wasn't just a minor setback!

Because, in this collision, the Black Swan's ram showed no signs of breaking, only a small corner was missing.

This indicates that the Black Swan is several times more robust than the Crimson Baron!
However, there was no time for Richard to be shocked.

Because, after smashing the dark red ram.

The Black Swan's speed only paused slightly before it continued to crash into the Crimson Baron due to its immense inertia.

The impact force generated by such a large ship when it rams at full speed is absolutely astonishing.

That even surpassed most of the attack methods that Xia En could use.

Just imagine what it would feel like to be hit by a super-heavy high-speed train at extremely high speed, and you'll understand the power of the Black Swan's self-destructive collision.

Of course, the action of force is mutual.

Such an impact would also cause a powerful recoil force on the Black Swan, but with the Black Swan's current sturdiness, it is able to withstand such a recoil.

But the Crimson Baron wasn't so lucky.

The Black Swan was like a giant hammer that swung down with a whooshing sound, smashing its ram and then continuing to smash into its hull.

boom! ! !
The two ships actually collided!
That dark red "armor," formed from the secret power of the slaves' blood, began to shatter the moment it collided with them.

Next came the internal hull, the keel supporting the ship, the more central cabins, and the vampire crew members inside...

Everything that stood in the way of the Black Swan was utterly crushed!
This is absolute power!

Absolute violence!
From a broader perspective, the Black Swan is like a huge and solid nail, ruthlessly and decisively chiseling into the hull of the Crimson Baron.

Almost three-quarters of the ship's hull was broken by this impact.

Countless sailors were thrown off the deck or were killed by the Black Swan.

After this collision, the sinking of the Crimson Baron became only a matter of time.

In contrast, the Black Swan only had a few cracks on the front hull, while the rest of the ship was completely intact.

The protective shields surrounding the Black Swan managed to withstand the aftershocks of the impact.

However, the Black Swan actually suffered some internal damage.

But compared to the near-complete destruction of the Crimson Baron, that was a minor injury, almost negligible.

As for the others further away, they couldn't even see the slight "injury".

People just stared at the scene in disbelief, speechless.

No amount of words can describe the shock they felt at that moment.

No one expected that such a barbaric and unreasonable collision would end with a complete victory for the Black Swan.

What captain would normally use ramming tactics in naval warfare?

Even if you win by doing that, your ship will be severely damaged, which could lead to accidents during subsequent voyages.

However, both the Crimson Baron and the Black Swan chose this method to settle their differences.

The vampires were aware of the Crimson Baron's record, which is why they could understand Richard's reasons for doing so.

But the Black Swan not only chose the same tactic, but also almost completely unscathed, directly piercing through the Crimson Baron under the Bloodbath Array?!

Just how tough is that ship?!

As for the ships that had already left this area, including the "Indomitable Storm," they all more or less witnessed this "earth-shattering collision."

A similar sense of shock arose.

One captain couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that the Black Swan could single-handedly destroy so many vampire warships?"

Even though it sounds incredible, it seems like it could actually become a reality!

at the same time.

On the deck, Shane, who had firmly secured his position before the impact, did not relax.

Rather, the real battle is only just beginning!
The moment Xia En had this thought, a figure wearing a blood-red trench coat appeared in front of him.

"Shane—"

Richard roared with intense anger and hatred in his eyes, as if he wanted to tear Shane to pieces and swallow him whole.

At the same time, the pair of scarlet claws attacked Xia En's chest, seemingly wanting to cut open his chest and grab his heart.
If Shane hadn't reached [Liuli Island], he might not have been able to react to Richard's attack.

After all, the other party is a genuine sixth-tier secret cultivator!
On the secret path, the difference of even one level is often despairing.

But in the blink of an eye, Shane grabbed Richard's wrist.

Click!
That was the sound of wrist bones being crushed!
