Chapter 43 Closing In Step by Step
Fang Senyan's move could be described as extremely vicious. He seized the high ground first, taking advantage of his ability to use magic to transmit sound to all the pirates, unilaterally forcing the opponent into a dead end.
If Arason chose to board the ship, would he still be in charge? Even if Fang Senyan had no way to make him speak, delaying the leaderless Umbar pirates for a few hours with the Dingyuan's capabilities would be too easy.
Of course, Fang Senyan absolutely didn't think Arason was bold enough to dare to board the ship brazenly, so he had already prepared for both possibilities, including Arason's response if he didn't dare to board. At this moment, seeing that Arason indeed didn't dare to come over, Fang Senyan immediately shouted:
"The Dark Lord Sauron has sent me to convey his will: all Umbar pirates continue to loot Pelargir, completely setting this city ablaze and cutting off the supplies Minas Tirith might obtain from here! After three hours, set sail for the Pelennor Fields to reinforce."
The command Fang Senyan shouted out was carefully considered.
Without a doubt, who would benefit more from continuing to loot in Pelargir? Of course, it would be most of the Umbar pirates. Burning, killing, looting, raping, and pillaging in such a rich and prosperous city was almost like being in paradise for the pirates.
In contrast, Arason's order was to immediately set sail for the Pelennor Fields to join the battle!
War meant death and injury, and the enemies were the incredibly powerful Rohan knights and the Elven Prince!! In the end, it seemed they would also have to attack Minas Tirith, the so-called impregnable fortress of the continent... Even the stupidest pirate could figure out with their toes whose orders were most beneficial to them!
What about loyalty? Talking about loyalty among these nearly ten thousand evil pirates? Perhaps it existed among a small number of pirates, but for the entire Umbar pirate group, it was like blackened dice, dirty turbans – trash that could be discarded into the sea at will.
In fact, if it weren't for the Dark Lord Sauron's power inspiring fear from the bottom of their hearts, these disorganized bastards would never have been unified.
Fang Senyan's vision was also quite sharp. He saw very clearly that Arason's personal strength was limited. Therefore, it would be difficult to have a decisive prestige among the pirates--------because authority among pirates often had to be established with white knives going in and red knives coming out--------so the few words he shouted out had already clearly challenged Arason's authority, and even more severely drawn a rift between Arason and the ordinary pirates.
If Arason dared to refuse him, then he would invisibly turn the rift into a wound.
--------A wound sufficient to cause a split!
However, Arason was the one who truly upheld the Dark Lord Sauron's will! Did he dare to disobey Gothmog's military orders?
Of course not! If Arason had such a strong personality, how could the Umbar pirates have become the most tragic and marginalized force?
"So," Fang Senyan leaned back in the captain's cabin with great relaxation at this moment, grabbed a handful of gold coins, and then listened to the crisp sound of these glittering things sliding from his fingertips and colliding. He lazily said:
"The only thing Arason can do is mobilize his confidants to attack, shut me up, and incidentally strip us naked and hang us on the mast to boost his prestige."
Speaking of this, Fang Senyan shrugged and yawned. Looking at the burly and extremely excited subordinates beside him:
"Look, he's starting to mobilize ships. A full five giant galleys are starting to besiege us. Are you afraid?"
Immediately, a series of wild laughter erupted from within, even the Anduin River was rippled by the laughter:
"We, the overlords of the seven seas, the mighty pirates who even the Black Pearl and the Endeavour can only flee from, afraid of these softies?"
Fang Senyan looked at the gold coins in his palm absentmindedly, as if studying the patterns on them, and said faintly:
"It seems you've improved while I was away... But I still need these guys, give you fifteen minutes to take care of these five ships, any problems?"
Redbeard and the surrounding pirates exchanged a glance, revealing a kind of sinister smile that seemed to have a knife in their mouths!
"Alright, since the boss has spoken, then let these bastards open their eyes!"
Fang Senyan nodded, but added another sentence:
"Although these guys' ships are weak, their physical qualities are strong. The combat ability of individual soldiers is definitely not bad, so don't board, don't capture, sink them directly, remember?"
Old Sea Dog and Redbeard simultaneously heard the solemn meaning in Fang Senyan's words. Old Sea Dog was Fang Senyan's most trusted pirate, and Redbeard's leadership ability as captain when Fang Senyan was away was also outstanding. The two of them almost controlled the discourse power on the ship, so after Fang Senyan instructed them, he was confident that his will could be carried out.
*
Under the flag language control of Arason's flagship, the five giant oar-sail hybrid ships controlled by his confidants quickly assembled. These ships used triangular sails, and the hull also presented a triangular shape. Near the waterline, two rows of giant oars extended, which made it possible to carry out high-speed navigation even in windless or even headwind conditions. Maneuverability became the biggest feature of these ships.
He had already arranged the standard offensive formation, but the ship on the opposite side was still unresponsive, which almost made Arason feel faintly ridiculous in his unusual anger. Could it be that the other party only knew how to talk big?
However, pirates could do without a face, without a life, and even ignore floggings, but there was one organ that had to be good, and that was the eyes! Without eyes, they couldn't catch prey and could only drink seawater on the ship. So, just as Arason's heart relaxed, he heard suppressed exclamations coming from around him!!
It turned out that under the sunlight, it could be clearly seen that those "cables" that were originally thought to be winding on the surface of the other ship were actually stiff, giant veins! And the sea giant's tendons began to squirm rapidly. Immediately afterwards, several barrels were pushed out of the opposite ship's cabin, and then several fierce men raised their axes and chopped, and what sprayed out was all incredibly thick blue blood!
Originally, if the Dingyuan needed to make sacrifices, it would use human sacrifices, but now, the blood being used was the blood of horseshoe crabs, which had a better effect.
Ever since Fang Senyan had lured away Paul the Brother, the angry Davy Jones had turned his face and fought the Dingyuan a few times, but the group that Fang Senyan had brought had already formed a force, and it was not difficult to defeat the Dingyuan, but it was difficult to destroy it. And the lonely Davy Jones adopted a new pet, a terrifying giant horseshoe crab!
The horseshoe crab naturally liked to eat the eggs laid by sea giants, so the relationship between the two was even ironier than cats and mice---------of course, it was the kind of iron relationship that was mortal enemies, so Redbeard seized the opportunity to ruthlessly trick Davy Jones's new pet once, luring this guy to land, and incidentally releasing a few barrels of its blood for later use. Now he took out the stock, making it clear that he was going to go full throttle.
The entire Dingyuan began to creak, and the sea giant's veins greedily sucked the horseshoe crab's blood and swelled frantically. The volume of the entire Dingyuan seemed to have expanded by a small half, and the outer shell seemed to be attached with a layer of tough and dense muscle tissue shield. At some point, a layer of gray mist covered the river, and even more muffled, huge heartbeats slammed into everyone's psychology like thunder.
"Barbalbo."
"Barbalbo!!!"
"Who is calling the great Barbalbo!!"
"Who dares to stop the great Barbalbo!"
A huge mist image of a sea giant appeared in the sky above the Dingyuan. He held a huge anchor in his hand. The soul of this sea giant, named Barbalbo, raised his head to the sky and roared silently! Then he slammed the anchor in his hand into the vast Anduin River!!
The entire long river churned violently in an instant. At this time, Arason's five pirate ships relied on their speed and even rushed within a hundred meters of the Dingyuan, but now they were all being pulled to death by one huge vortex after another. Even holding the rudder was a luxury, let alone sailing or even fighting in this boiling, crazy, roaring river water?
The powerful ability that only legendary warships could possess, Sea Frenzy, rampaged on the Anduin River, the longest river in Middle-earth!
The Baradin Bloodsail fluttered fiercely, and even seemed to drag out long wisps of smoke like chimneys behind it, but on closer inspection, it was clear that what kind of smoke was that? It was clearly thousands of wronged souls screaming miserably while pushing the ship. In this area, the Dingyuan, which was not originally known for its speed, would be forcibly accelerated by 100%, and the sailing/swimming speed of other ships/creatures would be reduced by 50%!!
At the same time, Fang Senyan raised his eyebrows, feeling an indescribable fierce aura coming at him. He immediately thought of the ram that had been added to the ship! The incomparably ferocious ram that resembled the head of a sea beast!
At this time, two eerie red lights suddenly shone on the head of this fierce beast. Immediately afterwards, its mouth actually slowly opened, and a flame more than ten feet long spewed out from it, forming a burning flame ram, and then it aimed at the five or six giant triangular galleys in front of it at high speed and slammed into them!
