The blaze boiled, like a fierce wolf, savagely tearing at the shields of the vessel.
But at this moment, Rong's eyes turned angry and frenzied.
"Buzz!"
The vessel didn't retreat but advanced instead, accelerating towards the Salted Fish with great speed.
A long-range cannon blast came unexpectedly, catching Rong off guard.
However...
The vessel's shield had up to 2000 energy levels, which the long-range cannon couldn't penetrate at all.
Although the cannon's firepower was strong and the blaze terrifying, it couldn't break through the vessel's shield at all.
Instead, it ignited Rong's anger.
A medium-sized cargo ship dared to attack a vessel like this?
You're rebelling!
Lower-class sea ships should just wait for death; any resistance you make will only anger me!
Rong simply disregarded the threat posed by the long-range cannon and continued to steer the sea ship forward with great speed.
The long-range cannon, though powerful, had two drawbacks:
1. Reloading took a long time, resulting in a significant delay between attacks.
2. It was cumbersome, targeting fixed positions and stationary targets, making it suitable for attacking land structures.
Although the opposing sea ship seemed to have excellent prediction capabilities, largely compensating for the second shortcoming.
But...
The time required for reloading couldn't be avoided at all!
After firing this shot, the opponent would need at least 30 seconds to reload for the next shot!
In this period, I will continuously advance, closing in on the opposing sea ship.
Rong glanced at his shield value: 1647/2000.
One shot depleted over 300 energy levels?
Indeed not weak, but with the remaining 7 nautical miles, you can at most fire two more shots, right?
After those two shots, it will be your demise!
Without saying a word, Rong directly maneuvered the sea ship forward with a burst of speed.
"Stop within a distance of three nautical miles from the opponent."
"The opponent's ship cannon effective attack range should be around 2 nautical miles, while our ship cannon's effective range is 3 nautical miles."
"A longer range means a stronger advantage; don't give the opposing ship cannon a chance to attack us. Kite them and use the range advantage of our ship cannon to wear their health down."
Rong instructed in a low voice.
Even seeing a long-range cannon on the opponent's sea ship, Rong was angry but didn't lose his head in anger.
He realized that the opponent wanted to use the long-range cannon to deplete part of his shield value and then capitalize on his unsatisfactory shield status for a final desperate struggle.
If lucky, with multiple shots, they might really deplete my remaining shield value?
Rong's lips curled into a cold smile.
The opponent thought of it, so how could I not have thought of it?
He realized he indeed underestimated the opponent, so at this moment, Rong very cautiously issued the kiting attack strategy.
Being cautious is necessary, just in case things go awry, there wouldn't be a place to cry.
"Buzz!"
The vessel continued to speed towards the location of the Salted Fish.
Distance between the two parties: 7 nautical miles
The Salted Fish fired another long-range cannon shot, hitting the vessel.
Vessel Shield: 1278/2000
...
A few minutes later.
Distance between the two parties: 4 nautical miles
The Salted Fish used the last opportunity for a long-range cannon attack, firing another long-range shot.
"Boom!"
After the flash, the vessel's shield crackled, but Rong didn't care at all, driving the vessel through the flames, emerging from the fire.
Vessel Shield: 910/2000
...
The shield dropped below 50%, but Rong's face showed no anger; instead, he was grinning broadly, looking at the Salted Fish ahead, feeling utterly elated at this moment.
Because...
The distance between the vessel and the Salted Fish had been closed to within 3 nautical miles.
At this distance, the medium-sized cargo ship's cannon couldn't hit the vessel, while the vessel's cannon could easily strike the medium-sized cargo ship.
This was an extremely reliable distance as well as...
A distance to send the opponent to the Death Strait!
Rong's eyes brimmed with intense killing intent, and he loudly ordered: "Attack, fire at will! Blast that medium-sized cargo ship to pieces for me!"
"Understood!"
With Rong's command, all the crew members of the vessel promptly operated the ship cannons on the sea ship, unleashing a formidable attack without hesitation.
There were five ship cannons in total on the vessel.
Each one was a top-level configuration version, strengthened and enchanted, all top-tier.
Even a fellow level-30 vessel captain would be shocked when facing this round of attacks from Rong's sea ship.
Let alone the medium-sized cargo ship, Salted Fish?
Five cannon shots, carrying a devastating momentum, instantly tore through the Salted Fish's shield and struck the body of the sea ship on the spot.
However... the expected collision and explosion sounds did not occur for Rong and the others.
Instead... the Salted Fish in front of them, under the attack of the five cannon shots, turned into a phantom and gradually vanished into the ocean.
Witnessing this scene, Rong's pupils contracted sharply, realizing something was off.
But before he could react...
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Countless cannon shots, recklessly, rained onto the vessel's shield, shaking the vessel uncontrollably, causing Rong and the others to lose their balance immediately.
Rong was startled, turning his head only to see on the other side of the vessel, within a distance of less than one nautical mile, another Salted Fish appeared suddenly from its stealth mode.
Earlier, when all eyes on the vessel were on the phantom Salted Fish, the real Salted Fish was already poised, preparing a formidable attack.
Fang Yu, sitting behind the machine gun rack on the bow of the ship, connected to the machine gun, with a cold smile on his lips, shouted in the Brain Domain Sharing: "Attack!"
Two gunners had already loaded the long-range cannon with pills, and as Fang Yu gave the order, they immediately released the long-range cannon.
Meanwhile, Luo Kuan, leading some gunners, was also prepared, and three ship cannons erupted in brilliant flames at this moment.
As for Luu Yuan, he, along with a crew member with aptitude in gunnery, connected the Tracking Torpedo connector and similarly controlled the torpedo to release an attack.
One by one, cannon shots crazily bombarded the vessel.
At this moment, the vessel, with only 910 energy levels left, saw its shield energy level plummet drastically.
In the blink of an eye, it had already fallen to 100 points, on the verge of shattering!
Rong was shocked; he tried instinctively to tear open the Sea Ship Repair Scroll.
But at this moment, the machine gun on the Salted Fish... exploded!
Operator: Fang Yu
Extraordinary Ability: Stacked Energy Bullet
Firing Rate: 10 rounds per second!
At this moment...
Both the Salted Fish and the people on the vessel witnessed a scene they would never forget:
A stream of bullets enveloped in dark power, exuding a deadly aura, burst out from the machine gun.
Each bullet was wrapped in a layer of dark glow, and the burst stream of bullets formed a line, seemingly distorting the surrounding space.
People's minds began to slow, as if losing all ability to think in the face of this stream of world-shattering bullets.
They could only watch helplessly as this stream of bullets, carrying an incredibly oppressive and heavy aura...
Silently and yet shockingly...
Landed on the vessel.
