The Ultimate Evolution - Chapter 520

Chapter 520: A reprimanding process

"The outcome of a battle, should be already decided from the beginning. If not, the battle shouldn’t be fought."

In actual fact, Sheyan truly held an invincible position right from the start of this battle; because if any mishaps were to occur, like the opposition occupying superiority in terms of long range bombardment, the Hill Maiden could easily speed up and blatantly flee!

Under normal circumstances, a ship would have to steer to its broadside before opening fire with multitudes of cannon; in order to inflict severe wreckages to the opposition, thus curbing the horrendous accuracy with quantity. Instead, with both ships uniformly sailing forward with high speed, a scenario as such would be simply impossible.

As the long range battle commenced, the contestants failed to perceive the sinister intentions of Sheyan! Contestants who possessed long range assaulting capabilities unleashed their abilities one after another, while Mogensha retaliated with steady burst of fires.

While the contestants were laughing and jeering at Mogensha’s clumsy shooting skills, they suddenly heard blood-curdling screams from behind. As it turns out, Mogensha had been targeting his shots against the sailors on board! One could fathom how deliberate Sheyan’s thought process was; attempting to slay contestants spanning across the vast ocean while being protected by the 40% damage reduction and near-death state, wasn’t realistic at all. Annihilating the opponents for the benefits of their blood keys, would be excruciatingly difficult for such a confrontation

That was why Sheyan had notified Mogensha to obliterate those storyline pirates! Besides, hiring pirates was an exceedingly costly and strenuous affair. By withering away their pirate manpower, it was equivalently to plundering their energy and wealth. By weakening the engine of the opposition, it would become increasingly difficult to vie against the trio. In this manner, external pressure faced by the trio when accomplishing their mission would be comparatively lessened.

Yet sadly, why would Sheyan allow them that liberty?
Earlier on, Sheyan had already ordered most of the sails to be fastened in an evasive position, while he was unafraid of getting shot, would personally operate the main sails. But in this manner, though the ship’s efficiency and speed would be impacted nega

tively.

Furthermore after the Hill Maiden’s restructuring, her cannon ports had all been scraped off. In their place, were twenty rowing positions! Therefore, the disparity between the propelling impetuous of both ships became greater with such circumstances. If Sheyan wished to throw them off, it would be as easy as a matter of seconds.

BOOM! A thunderous explosion resounded, as thick smoky fumes spiralled out of the Hill Maiden; a three metres wide hole had been exploded out at the ship’s stern. Fortunately, a third rate ship boasted of over 30,000 points of durability, and wouldn’t be so easily sunk.

Spike was indeed worthy of his reputation. With adequate assistance and a commotion of ‘Ding ding dang dang*’, he only required roughly ten minutes to completely mend the ship’s hole. Sheyan then immediately commanded for a massive detour, intending for a sudden thrust from the lateral side.

The opposing contestants didn’t appear familiar at all to naval warfare tactics, and didn’t even utilize their crow’s nest for lookout. Instead, they only foolishly fixated onto their front, and were caught off guard by Sheyan’s speeding ship from the left. Due to this, Brother Black managed to silently dispatch off an additional 3 pirate sail operators before being discovered!

After numerous rounds of tussles, some could already sense things were turning awry, where one of the third rate ship having fled earlier on. After a discussion between the contestants of the remaining ship, they decided to wholly focus on defence; propping up defensive artillery boards by the hull of the ship. Akin to a rigid dead fish, their lonely ship drifted flatly along the ocean surface; releasing an impression of true misery. If they hadn’t harboured malicious designs to pursue and pillage Sheyan, then they wouldn’t have degraded to this state.

With Reef and Sheyan alternating in protection, that sniper could not offer a single threat to Mogensha! During the latter stages, that sniper even ceased his futile assaults. Besides, his sniper rifle ammunition required costly utility points to purchase.

All in all, it would minimally delay the contestants a precious 48 hours, for them to slowly sail their broken mast ship back to Tortuga. Factoring in the collaterals of dozens of pirates, that was equivalent to 10,000 gold guineas of damages. To them, the actual valuation of 10,000 gold guineas would inevitably be more than 10,000 utility points.

The following voyage was implemented at maximum pace. With the restructured Hill Maiden in addition to experienced pirate sailors, its speed had minimally been raised by 30% as compared to its first entry into Tortuga. Hence, even though the distance between Port Royal and Tortuga spanned over thousands of nautical miles, the Hill Maiden arrived within 20-30 nautical miles of Port Royal after smooth sailing for two days and two nights.

Thus, there were certainly existence of smuggling piers and harbour nearby Port Royal. Leaving behind those savage pirates who had illustrious reputations that could be easily identified to safeguard their ship, he brought along Joshamee and another 7-8 mates who were familiar with the terrain, before they ascended ashore onto the smuggling ports. Afterwards, they rode a carriage and headed off for Port Royal.

Those marine guards were adorned with honorary uniform, with its most striking decoration of glamourous red and white; particularly impressive were their white wigs and red outer coats. Their cutlasses shimmered bright as snow, as were their slender stockings. Viewing with a pair of present day eyes, those stockings appeared like high thick leather boots of females. They marched arrogantly like roosters with their erected chests, and ushered an impression of extreme profoundness.
If Sheyan had brought along Philip and others, their hearts would sting with bitterness upon seeing their former colleagues.
