Chapter 383 Kusha Frogmen
Seeing this, John was ready to arrange his fleet to fire at the opposing ships. But at this moment, he noticed a small red dot on the system map approaching his fleet. He was so fast that he soon left Kusha's fleet behind by a certain distance.
He immediately looked towards the sea, and saw that the pirate fleet on the opposite side was still quite a distance away from John, and the sea in the middle was calm.
John certainly didn't think that the system map would have any chance of reporting an error, so it was very likely that the enemy unit was underwater.
However, despite this, John still ordered the warships to form a battle formation and point their guns at the pirate fleet on the opposite side. The warships turned around one after another after receiving the order, and John also stared intently at the red dot on the system map.
After a while, the red dot on the system map came to John's fleet. John looked and found that the red dot overlapped with the green dot representing his flagship.
"Oh, no. You just hit the biggest one right away, right?"
Despite this, the battle did not stop. John's fleet had already completed its formation under the command of the captains, and the cannons on the warships had already aimed at the pirate fleet on the opposite side. At this moment, the pirates were still busy adjusting their formation, completely unaware that the danger had come.
"fire!"
Following the orders of the captains, the cannons on the warships roared, and cannonballs poured towards the pirate fleet along with the white smoke from the muzzles.
As John's fleet's shells rained down like a torrential rain, the fate of the pirate fleet changed. Unable to withstand the fierce bombardment, the small ships began to stagger and tilt toward the bottom of the sea. They struggled feebly for a few times, like bodies that had lost their lives, and then slowly sank into the deep sea.
John stood on the deck of the flagship and watched all this through a telescope. Faced with the threat of death, the Kushan pirates had no choice but to abandon their ships and swim desperately away from the battlefield.
Soon after, the pirates' large ships also turned around and headed towards John's fleet. Their guns were aimed at John's fleet, and then a deafening roar sounded. Shells rushed towards John's fleet like raindrops, hitting the hulls of the warships directly.
John had already been lying on the deck protected by the fence when the pirate fleet turned around. After a strong vibration, he quickly stood up, picked up the telescope and looked at the surrounding ships.
Fortunately, although some of the warships were cratered on the outside by the shells, no ship was sunk.
However, at this moment, a sailor ran over from the cabin in a panic, panting and saying:
"Sir, there is a strange knocking noise coming from under the cabin! It seems like something is hitting the bottom of our boat under the water."
John realized the seriousness of the problem. If his flagship continued to be attacked by this creature lurking under the water, it would not take long for a hole to be drilled in the hull of the ship, eventually causing water to enter and sink. However, the current situation is that it is not realistic to dive to the bottom of the sea to capture this creature, so he decided to take other measures.
He immediately issued an order requiring all warships to return to the port for landing immediately after the next round of bombardment. Doing so would resolve the war with pirates on the sea more quickly, and also provide more time and opportunities to deal with underwater creatures.
With another round of fierce bombardment by John's fleet, the pirate fleet suffered more and more losses, more and more ships sank to the bottom of the sea, and the entire pirate fleet was facing the fate of collapse. The surviving pirate ships had already shown signs of escaping, and soon it turned into a major retreat of the entire pirate fleet.
"Attention all!"
John's voice echoed across the deck.
"Our chance has come! Now, go full speed ahead and head straight for the port!"
His order was quickly transmitted to every ship, and the morale of the fleet members was high, and they rushed towards the port without hesitation.
Under the cover of artillery fire, John's fleet was like a tiger descending from a mountain, unstoppable. Although the remnants of the pirate fleet were still struggling, they could no longer withstand the powerful offensive of John's fleet. John's fleet quickly passed through the wreckage of the pirate fleet and arrived outside the port.
As the fleet gradually approached the port, John clearly saw through the telescope that there were still pirates fleeing in the port. He frowned, knowing that if these remaining enemies were not eliminated, there would be endless troubles.
"Attention all!"
He shouted, his voice revealing an unquestionable determination.
"Land in the port and eliminate all remaining pirates!"
After receiving the order, the fleet quickly adjusted its course and headed straight for the port. The soldiers nervously grasped their weapons, ready to fight at any time.
At the same time, John turned his gaze to the bottom of the flagship. Deep in the dark ocean, a creature had been secretly attacking the flagship, posing a great threat to the fleet.
"Find a few soldiers who can dive."
Soon, a dozen soldiers who were good at diving were called in. John walked up to them, looked at each of them with a sharp gaze, and then gave them a task:
"You are to sneak under my flagship, find the creature that attacked the keel of the flagship, and bring it to justice. This is a matter of great importance to the safety of our fleet. I hope you can complete the mission successfully!"
As a large number of soldiers landed at the port, fierce fighting broke out instantly. The pirates originally thought that they could resist for a while with the terrain of the port, but they did not expect that John's army was extremely powerful and had high morale. Under the fierce attack of John's army, they quickly lost their will to resist.
On the battlefield, swords flashed and gunshots rumbled. Some pirates died on the spot, while others chose to lay down their weapons and surrender. In a short time, the port was occupied by John's army, and the pirates' arrogance was curbed.
Just as John was commanding his troops to clean up the battlefield, the soldiers who had dived earlier finally completed their mission. They climbed onto the land, panting, and came to John.
"My Lord, is this what you are looking for?"
One of the soldiers said, pointing at a strange-looking creature on the ground.
John walked over curiously and saw that the creature was huge, with dark green skin, bulging eyes and a wide open mouth. It looked like a giant frog.
When John walked up to it, the frog-like humanoid immediately knelt on the ground and shouted in Kushan:
"Don't kill me, sir!"
