Chapter 70 Beckman, The Incomparable Strategist
"This is definitely not a naturally formed fog." Because the field of view was blocked, the Marine's cannon could not locate the target, so they could only manually aim close to the waters of Changxi Island. Crane Vice Admiral felt it, and he found that these fogs actually had a serious interference effect on Observation Haki.
"Notify the fleet outside to prevent the pirates from escaping!" He said to the messenger.
Their big boat moved forward slowly, and because of the heavy fog, none of them saw a periscope above the water that could clearly see their every move.
"Report to Commander Beckman, the Marine warships have arrived at the warning sea area, but their ships are too scattered and we cannot focus their fire!" Brother Te reported to the phone bug.
"Just open fire and evacuate immediately!" Beckman said.
The two torpedoes broke through the water silently, and with the sound of sparks, a large hole appeared in the hulls of the two Marine warships.
"I didn't expect these pirates to dare to take the initiative to attack." Crane Vice Admiral sensed the pirate attack. She remembered that one of the pirate groups had a submarine, but she subconsciously ignored it.
"1,000 meters ahead, 120-degree artillery fire coverage!"
Following the order from Crane Vice Admiral, the cannon fire on the Marine warship was fired, and the sea area ahead suddenly turned into a sea of fire.
"Boom boom boom!"
With the shelling of the Marine warship, the pirates hiding in the dark knew the location of the Marine. They fired three salvos at the Marine warship. After that, they followed Beckman's order and retreated towards Changxi Island as a whole.
When the cannonballs hit, there were already Rear Admiral-level officers standing on the deck. The cannonballs that hit in the dark were aimed low, and very few of them actually landed on the ship. These were killed as soon as they almost landed on the ship. Rear Admiral level officer shot down.
"I found you!" A smile appeared on Vice Admiral Crane's lips. She just used a little trick to trick these pirates out of their hiding place.
"Gunner, please back-calculate the direction of the artillery strike just now. Once the coordinates are confirmed, fire ten rounds straight away."
After that, intensive artillery fire was carried out carpet bombing towards the place where the pirates were hiding.
"It was so dangerous, I almost died." The captains who returned were frightened when they saw the fire that kept rising into the sky, and at the same time they became even more convinced of Beckman.
"No, stop the bombardment!" Crane Vice Admiral shouted sternly. She felt something was wrong, everything was too weird. She sent a scout to conduct reconnaissance, but the reconnaissance results made her expression change drastically. Crane Vice Admiral looked at the fog in front of her with complicated thoughts. She knew that there was an expert among the pirates opposite.
"Everyone, return home!" Now that the enemy is in darkness and we are clear, there is no benefit in continuing to fight with the pirates. We can only withdraw from this fog first and consider the long term.
"Everyone, use the tactics of shark hunting and whale hunting, and disperse the pursuit of Marine. Remember, stop chasing before the fog." Beckman ordered.
Later, Vice Admiral Crane was constantly harassed by pirates when he retreated. From time to time, these guys would take a chance and shoot Marine. When Marine counterattacked, these guys disappeared without a trace.
"Finally out!"
All the Marines breathed a sigh of relief. They had been attacked by pirates just now. Although they did not suffer much damage, they felt a sense of panic due to the high mental tension.
"Look, what is that?" Someone shouted, and then they saw nearly a hundred pirate ships sailing out of the fog.
The Marines looked along these ships and saw that most of these pirate ships were hidden in the fog, with only their ferocious pirate flags clearly visible.
"Long Fork Pirates, Gray Wolf Pirates, Black Bear Pirates..." These pirates are all relatively active pirates. They have more or less fought against Marine, so they have all seen these pirates. The pirate flag of the group.
"Why are there so many pirate groups coming, and how did they get here?" Crane Vice Admiral frowned. She couldn't figure out how these pirates came, as if they fell out of thin air. of.
"Retreat to the starting line one after another and consider the long term." Crane Vice Admiral took a deep look at the pirate group on the opposite side. Seeing Marine retreating, the pirates gradually disappeared into the heavy fog.
"Well done, Lena!" All the captains gave a thumbs up to Lena.
Rena is the captain of the Phantom Pirates. She is a user of the Paramecia phantom fruit. In normal battles, she mostly uses illusions to hide her traces. She never expected that her fruit can be used in this way. Today Beckman is She opened the door to the New World.
"Commander, what should we do now?" Through today's performance, all the pirates are convinced of Beckman, and now they are more confident that they can survive.
