Woo~ Woo~

Under the setting sun, on the open sea, a deck sailor on the passenger sailboat Wang Zhifan was aboard sounded the horn urgently, alerting all crew members to take action because their sailboat was suddenly under attack.

The attackers were still some distance away, discernible only as a sizable warship, already launching cannon fire at them without hesitation. The powerful cannonballs splashed into the sea around the passenger ship, causing loud explosions, sending water splashing onto the deck, and making the ship rock continuously.

"Fight back! Hit them hard for me! Taking hits without retaliating is not the style of our Sea Parrot!"

A middle-aged white-skinned man wearing a tricorn captain's hat quickly rushed onto the deck, giving strong orders to the sailors as well as the gunners, as he was the captain of this passenger sailboat. It was clear that he was quite a fiery person, otherwise, he wouldn't have armed his sailboat with four cannons, all just to confront such situations.

"Aye, Captain!"

Upon receiving the captain's orders, the deck sailors immediately sprang into action. Many of them were jacks-of-all-trades, able to set sails, steer, and even handle the techniques for firing cannons at the enemy. Some began spinning the wheel to dodge enemy cannon fire, others worked the sails in coordination with the helmsman's maneuvers, and many busied themselves with adjusting cannon angles, loading ammunition, igniting, and firing.

Wang Zhifan told the seasick Chen Ming and Chen Can to stay in the cabin to rest, while he went up on deck to inspect the situation. It's worth noting that his choice to do so was not only to ensure the safety of the passenger ship but also to witness this kind of maritime battle he had never encountered before.

"It's dangerous here! Get back to the cabin right now!"

As Wang Zhifan climbed up onto the deck, the captain, who was overseeing things nearby, noticed him. The white-skinned middle-aged man was in a mix of seriousness and anger, exuding a kind of intimidating presence. Seeing the unwelcome passenger, he immediately barked, trying to get him back into the cabin.

"Don't worry, I won't interfere with your work. I might even be able to help a bit."

Wang Zhifan shook his head, refusing, and walked to an empty spot on the deck, gazing out at the enemy ship on the distant sea.

Due to the attack and the sailors' emergency adjustments, the deck inevitably began to tilt and sway. Even the captain nearby had to brace himself to avoid falling, but he noticed the young man beside him, who had just climbed up, seemed rooted, standing on the constantly shifting deck with hardly any wobble.

"You..."

The captain, seeing this, was about to scold him further, but the words caught in his throat. He turned his attention away, pulling out a classic-looking monocular telescope to closely observe the distant enemy ship and issue his next tactical instructions.

Just as Wang Zhifan had said, he did not interfere with anyone busy on the deck. Alone, he walked to an unoccupied area and steadily watched the enemy ship on the sea, which was preparing its next cannon shot.

"The cannon fire is really too dangerous, and the landing point is quite random. I can't just sit idly by."

Unlike everyone on deck who thought Wang Zhifan was merely a passenger watching for entertainment, he had his own plans from the start. Now he was simply confirming the target's position during his observation, then stealthily using some method, he put the enemy on the distant sea in a disadvantageous position instantly.

However, the people on the Sea Parrot were unaware of this; the captain and the deck sailors only felt that the enemy suddenly stopped cannon fire, delaying their next barrage, while their own counter-fire reached the enemy first and even fired several rounds without retaliation from the enemy ship.

"Hahaha! Those bastards' cannons must have misfired! Hit them with everything you've got! Sink their ship into the sea fast!"

The Sea Parrot's captain, seeing this unexpected favorable situation, couldn't help but laugh heartily, loudly urging his sailors to seize the chance to relentlessly bombard the distant enemy ship. From this, it could be seen that perhaps he had other professions before, not just a ferry captain earning steady money.

However, despite how sea battles are, sinking an enemy ship is not so easy. Even though their enemies seemed to have some problems firing their cannonballs, they wouldn't just stay still, allowing themselves to be targets. Like their response to attacks, they maneuvered their helm and sails, continually evading the cannonballs fired at them. The enemy ship even demonstrated greater maneuverability than the Sea Parrot during this process!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amid the Sea Parrot's cannon attacks, most cannonballs landed in the sea, occasionally striking the enemy ship, only leaving a slight dent on the hull without causing decisive damage. Instead, the enemy ship seemed strangely to be gradually increasing its speed, approaching the Sea Parrot steadily.
