Origin Paradise!

All crew members are given a day off.

This does not include the five lowest-ranking servants.

"Ah Da, these five are in your hands. In peacetime, their performance time should not be less than 16 hours a day."

"clear."

The expressions of the five-member band members all changed slightly.

Jiang He returned to the ship and casually pulled Zhuang Ya out of the kitchen. While the evil soldiers were working hard, she was eating heartily, her cheeks puffed up like a hamster.

"Boss, the largest port colony in the central part of the kingdom has issued an arrest warrant for us. The naval headquarters has publicly demanded that Duke Dejouk punish us and provide compensation. A bloody conflict has broken out between the two sides in a border town in the north, resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries," Ah Er reported.

Jiang He took the wanted poster; his current bounty is 50000 gold coins. Because of his status as Earl of Rhine, the plunder of the Oak greatly exacerbated the conflict between the Chaotic Corridor and the royal family. This outcome should have been within the Duke's expectations.

"After setting sail, they continued to plunder merchant ships."

"clear."

Chapter 303 Ecology

The next day.

All crew members returned to their unit.

The officers received the Great Knight Construct Armor, an extremely effective and sturdy super heavy armor. The leopard-style construct enhances their speed by 30%, which is a significant boost to their combat power.

Old Black was reluctant to give up this help, so he added another layer on top of his already sturdy armor. Because of his large and imposing size, he looked like a walking tin can.

"Three thousand doses of medicine."

"Upgrade of three hundred construct knights."

"It may take a week."

Jiang He plunged into the captain's cabin to begin concocting potions and strengthening the evil soldiers. The formulas and techniques were complete, and with his professional alchemist skills, the process was not difficult.

boom!

The captain's cabin door opened, and a fierce knight strode out.

"Hey bro, how's it going?"

The ruthless soldiers in line were full of curiosity.

"With the speed, strength, and physique of a Bronze Elite, combined with Knight-level armor, I feel incredibly powerful right now!"

The evil knight struck a crab-like, muscular pose, which immediately drew gasps and applause from the evil soldiers.

"Boss's cooking skills are amazing!"

"Only the top 300 kills will be included this time, I might have to wait until next time."

"I want this too."

The evil soldiers circled around the evil knights.

Ah Si couldn't stand it anymore and coughed lightly.

"Don't crowd at the door, next one."

"Yes."

Over several days, three hundred fierce knights were born.

All the magic steel worth millions of gold coins has been used up.

A set of knight-level armor only costs 1000 gold coins. As long as the problem of high cost cannot be solved, the wizard golem cannot be put into large-scale application.

Jiang He ordered the ship to set sail, while he stayed in the captain's cabin to continue refining the potion, with Zhuang Ya serving as his maid assistant.

……

Explore the year 1600, August 20th.

The Saint Lilith departed the Suya Islands.

The seven pirate ships departed the port in unison, with the others following closely behind.

The lookouts reported the situation, and Commander U commanded the overall operation. The Saint Lilith was placed on standby.

"Fill each unit with shells."

"Sailor Group, Fiend Knights, prepare."

"There are no high knights on the enemy side in this operation. The boss is currently brewing a potion, so there is no need to disturb him."

Wuhe stood on the bow platform and gave the order, while a fierce knight helped to transmit the message through a megaphone.

Inside the ship's hold, five rookies were sweating profusely as they carried artillery shells.

"The elites on this ship are worse than dogs. How can we ever escape our slave status?"

The guitar-playing boy stuffs the cannonball into the cannon barrel.

Thanks to the quartermaster's diligence, the St. Lilith was equipped with the best 56-pound smoothbore cannon of the time, weighing about 6.4 tons. With the aid of white powder, it could shatter stone walls within 500 meters and was more than three meters long.

“嘘。”钢琴家竖起纤指，继续填充火药，她左右瞄了几眼才开口道：“那条黑狗是莱茵伯爵的爱犬，在船上必须称呼黑将军，否则是要挨揍的。”

The commander struggled to push the cannon, supported by rollers, to the window, panting as he said, "General Black occasionally has a wolf's head and a human body; he must be a werewolf variant."

The violinist and singer worked together to carry over the cannonball, which contained grapeshot. Multiple shells were bound together with rope nets to effectively disperse their destructive power and target personnel on the deck.

"You said..."

"Fire on both wheels on the port side!"

Shouts of "Fire!" echoed from above into the cabin. At gun port number five, Ah Da woke up from his sleep. A small gun crew required six people to work together, and his task was to supervise the five laborers in front of him, in addition to his own cooking duties.

"Move quickly."

The commander nodded repeatedly: "Fire!"

Rumble!

All 42 cannons on one side of the St. Lilith spewed forth fire simultaneously, and deafening thunderous roars echoed throughout the cabin. The No. 5 team members were all ringing in their ears and feeling dizzy as thick, pungent gunpowder smoke rushed towards them.

"Cough cough cough!"

"It's so strong!"

"Don't just stand there, continue."

Shells streaked across the sea like meteors. The fastest Tier 5 pirate ship was hit by fire as soon as it reached the side. Nearly a hundred shells fell, more than twenty of which pierced straight through the pirate ship.

"fire!"

In the third round of shelling, all the gun ports were replaced with grapeshot. The shells flew through the air like a shower of flowers, sweeping across the enemy ship's deck, killing dozens of people, destroying the masts and rendering it immobile, causing it to sink halfway into the sea.

Tier III destroyers are absolutely superior to Tier V converted merchant ships.

Rumble!

The shelling lasted for two hours.

The Saint Lilith's massive artillery reserves were only one-fifth depleted. With the help of Dawn's intelligent analysis, Mohe's command level improved rapidly, and he successively sank four level-five pirate ships.

"Report: The last two fourth-class frigates are approaching from the flank and rear. Port-side combat personnel are on deck in preparation for boarding action."

Ada led his five team members away from the cannon window. Several fierce knights stood at the stairs distributing weapons, one flintlock pistol and one magic steel scimitar to each of them.

"The flintlock musket is loaded, but it can only fire once."

"This magic steel scimitar is even better than my main weapon. The equipment on the ship is pretty good."

The five players arrived at the deck's side, where the enemy ship was rapidly closing in. In this chaotic battle, even a rare-level attack skill might not be more powerful than a white gunpowder bullet.

Bang!

The two ships collided, causing a sudden jolt.

Using the vibrations of the ship, hundreds of fierce knights swung on the ropes and fell onto the enemy ship. Hooks were laid between the two sides, like a bridge made of ropes.

"Kill them! Seize the Saint Lilith!"

"This ship is at least a Class A ocean treasure; Nightingale Pavilion's information is definitely accurate!"

The pirates were like they'd been injected with adrenaline, most of them with bloodshot eyes. An A-class treasure ship—possessing it meant dominating the seas and becoming incredibly wealthy. This was especially true after the Oak was hijacked and their five ships were easily destroyed, which further confirmed the rumors.

Bang bang bang!

Bullets are fired indiscriminately,

As the two sides boarded each other, pirates fell one after another, their screams echoing. The pirates surged onto the other side's deck, engaging in close combat, swords drawn, and countless sparks bursting forth almost simultaneously.

"Don't run!"

"Help me kill him!"

Blood splattered, and the sounds of hacking and cursing mingled together.

A burly man with a full beard wielded a giant axe, each swing sending up a cloud of blood mist. This knight-class bosun killed three vicious soldiers in succession, but was then ambushed by A-Si. The giant axe struck the knight's armor with a resounding clang, and A-Si pierced his head with a sword, successfully killing him.

"I'll block the way from directly in front."

Ah Da charged onto the enemy ship's deck, supporting Lao Hei, who was rampaging all the way. Together, the two cleared a bloody path.

The number of pirates was unusually large. A normal fourth-class ship can carry 300 people at full capacity, but that is under the condition that daily life requires a lot of space. If it is just for temporary troop transport, there are exaggerated cases in maritime history of transporting thousands of people. Although there are not that many right now, the two fourth-class ships together still have more than two thousand enemies.

A tall, thin, knight-class pirate, wielding a scimitar, nimbly weaved through the enemy ranks, targeting their vital points. His blade flashed like a ghost, slaying several men in quick succession, the blood quickly staining the deck red.

"Five newcomers, huh?"

The scimitar pirates found their direction and charged forward. Most of the enemies present were fearless, while only these five newcomers were flustered and confused, creating a stark contrast.

Brush it!

A blade flashed from behind, severing the guitar boy's upper and lower body, blood spurting out. As his upper body fell to the ground, he instinctively pulled out a bottle of rare healing potion and took it, but it was to no avail.

"Sonic spikes!"

"True Essence Shield!"

"vine!"

The energy consumption of activating three rare-level skills is somewhat unbearable for low-level players.

The pirate's second strike shattered the palm-sized True Essence Shield. A sonic needle accompanied by a scream pierced his chest, but was blocked by the tattered knight's breastplate. A vine as thick as an arm attacked, slashing wildly with the blade and cutting him into several pieces.

"Guitar, are you alright?"

"I still have medicine."

"Commander, quickly find someone to save them!"

boom!

The pirate drew his flintlock pistol and smashed the prey's head, the splattering gunpowder burning the violinist's face.

"How naive! They actually have the time..."

puff!

Ah Er drew his longsword from behind the pirate. The guy stood there for at least three seconds, practically a sitting duck. He didn't even glance at the corpse on the ground and continued to ambush the other knights. As for the new recruits, their lives were their own, and they couldn't blame anyone else if they lost them. The most important thing was that he hadn't been ordered to act as a babysitter.

"The guitar... is dead."

The guitar boy was completely lifeless.

The four players were somewhat bewildered. Hongdu Academy had not been established for long, and the players did not have a deep bond with each other. However, seeing their own kind die naked before their eyes was still hard to accept, even though they had undergone a series of training sessions at the academy, such as slaughtering pigs and chickens and executing death row inmates.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and the tallest and most conspicuous singer was shot in the thigh. The powerful force of the white gunpowder nearly tore his flesh apart, causing him to let out a terrible scream.

"Don't just stand there and become targets!"

"If you're injured, just lie on the ground and pretend to be dead."

Ah Da turned around and unleashed a circular slash, killing five enemies in one move. When he saw several of his crew members standing around the corpses with their backs exposed, he almost cursed them out. The fact that they were still alive only meant that his side had put too much pressure on the pirates.

The fierce battle lasted for half an hour.

When the two captains were assassinated by two black feathers, the battle ended, and more than four hundred pirates surrendered.

The vicious soldiers skillfully looted and cleaned up the battlefield before returning to their own ship. The Saint Lilith devoured seven pirate ships in succession, further enhancing its hull rigidity. Although it had previously taken more than a dozen cannonballs to the side, due to the ship's hardness and toughness, it only required simple repairs rather than returning to port for reconstruction.
