Grab the wind and fight against it.

　　 When the pirate flag with colored pupils and skulls fluttered on the top of the Golden Deer, the Drake flagship, which had been idle for more than ten days, awakened in a breath.

The sailors glide like apes on the sails of this huge warship with a mutilated front mast, raise the horizontal sails, lay the sails, spread all the bow sails and catch sails, and pass the ship between swaying. The bow cuts diagonally into the sea breeze and accelerates slowly.

　　The sailors rushed on the deck.

　　 In groups of eight, they pushed out the twelve-pounder guns and matching projectiles and ammunition packs from the forehouse in an orderly and fast manner.

　　 Yacharin leaned out half of his body in the gun bay and shouted loudly: "The whole ship is live! Both sides are loaded! Waiting for battle!"

　　 The sailors completed the loading with the well-trained training that Donna had never seen before, pushed the gun barrel out of the ship's side, and quickly hooked the iron chain that fixed the gun carriage. Those chains lay softly on the deck, not straight.

　　Because when launching, the artillery car will retreat with the recoil force of the artillery. The purpose of the iron chain is to prevent the artillery car from flying out instead of giving all the recoil force to the battleship to bear.

　　 Lorraine estimated the distance on the bow, and ordered: "Left full rudder, turn sail!"

　　Henna turned the steering wheel without saying a word, Keren led the sailmen to push the truss, and walked out an arc on the stern deck, and as the hull tilted, the schooner was always in a state of fullness.

　　 The Golden Deer thus completed the first fold line cut.

　　 Donna watched all this quietly.

　　 She stood beside Lorraine, with a long slender rope tied around her waist. The other end of the rope was tied to the narwhal's fierce crossbow arm. The remaining rope was only one meter long.

　　 This is her return to Lorraine for allowing her to "bound". However, whether or not Lorraine trusts her will not be mentioned for the time being, the crew of the Golden Deer definitely did not relax their vigilance because of her actions.

Noya, the shy Roma girl who blushes as soon as she speaks and dares not to walk alone ahead of her, sits side by side with her legs, intentionally or unintentionally playing with the card box on her waist, still dodges her eyes and makes a soft voice. The whispered look.

　　 But Donna would never regard her as the personal maid of the noble master again.

　　Because not long ago, this "maid" raised a hand and shot a few tarots, and easily plunged into the solid oak deck, half an inch into the wood.

　　If those Tarotza were on people... Donna shivered, and suddenly remembered that out of curiosity, she had asked her to do fortune-telling at a very close distance.

　　 There is also Pierce, the child whose age and appearance are far below the standard of adulthood, the childishness on his face disappeared the moment he raised the spear.

　　 Donna vaguely saw a small Lorraine holding a gun, aiming at her, her eyes didn't hesitate at all, that arrogance, that kind of self-confidence...It made people feel chilly.

　　 Now, he is climbing the sail line.

On the swaying sea boat, carrying a person-high spear, and wearing a strange gown made from the skin of a certain creature, this child climbed up to the 30-meter-high observation deck like a monkey without fear. Among the dangers.

　　 How can Donna not know that everything she saw before is fake?

　　 The lustful Yacharin, the king who can only cook, the very tired butler Karen, has no self, only the master’s dead man Henna...

　　 There is also Lorraine Drake who seems to be full of noble feelings and regards sailing as an outing...

　　 Donna raised her head, staring blankly at the colorful pirate flag flying on the tip of the mast, muttering to herself.

　　 "This is a group of wild wolves in sheep's clothing...a premeditated invasion."

　　 Lorraine heard her and turned around with a smile: "Miss Cavalier, do you want to understand?"

　　 "You don't have to call me Miss Cavalier anymore. I have abandoned my family for a long time, so I can't be called a knight."

　　 "But you didn't give your name, I can't call you...Hello."

　　 Donna was silent for a while: "Katerina Dipo, I used to be the daughter of Count Estanbar of Barcelona, ​​and now I am the red-haired Caterina of the Caribbean, a pirate captain who lost her ship."

"Ms. Dipo." Lorraine bowed slightly and saluted, "I am glad that we have gotten closer to each other. In return... I am indeed interested in pirates in the Caribbean, but I never thought that you would be one of the pirates. Member, still such an excellent member."

　　 Katerina shook her head and smiled twice.

"Golden Deer, Drake, if I guess right, your ancestor was Francis, the pioneer of Pirates of the Caribbean. Did you know? Famous pirates in history regarded him as a role model and pursuit, so we are far better than you Imagine being more cultivated, even if it sounds funny."

"Actually, it's not funny." Lorraine shrugged. "Europe’s maritime powers are prosperous because of pirates, and many aristocrats are related to pirates. You are also an orthodox aristocrat. You should know that we still abide by the tradition of thugs, but do better than our ancestors. We have much more skill, for example, replacing scimitars and muskets with classes and laws."

　　 "Strange rhetoric." Catalina raised her eyebrows. "It seems that you are not popular among the aristocracy."

"That's true when you don't have money." Lorraine smiled nonchalantly, "The chat is over, our enemy is coming~lightnovelpub.net~ The shadow of the black mamba's sail appeared on the sea level, slowly rising, and swiftly stunned. .

　　 The Golden Deer completed the second fold line, turned to the full rudder to the right against the wind, and cut diagonally towards the port side of the opponent.

Lorraine saw a flamboyant pirate flag. On the black flag, there was a large, blood-like bright red stain. The center of the stain was a white skull. Two scimitars were lowered and crossed, and a black mamba was entrenched. On the skull, a triangular snake head drilled out of the left eye socket, and the head was raised high, eager to rush.

　　 Lorraine suffocated his mouth: "Fore mast and mainmast cross-sail, rear mast schooner, standard Bagh-type three-masted mixed sailboat, what is her name?"

"Viper." Catalina did not show any hesitation, "44 meters long, 10 meters wide, made of birch wood, with a crew of 200. She turned out to be a smuggling ship on an African route, and Amy Filade captured her. When he was injured by the black mamba snake in the cargo hold, he cut off his left hand in time and survived the injury, which earned him the name of the black mamba."

　　 Lorraine watched the enemy ship with his arms folded, and said softly: "I'm not interested in knowing the history of Captain Black Mamba, how is her firepower?"

"The gun bay has 10 twelve-pounder guns on each side and 4 nine-pounder guns on each side of the main deck. She has specially reinforced the bow and is equipped with two 18-pounder medium-range guns. It is the strongest firepower on the ship. You have to be careful. "

　　 "Put the heavy artillery on the bow?" Lorraine was taken aback, "He seems to enjoy the pleasure of chasing prey."

　　 "No, his tactics are a bit special, mainly..."

"Yingfan!" Catalina didn't finish her words, and Pierce's childish and panicked shout suddenly came from the observation deck, "A one o'clock direction, 1.5 kilometers away! The enemy ship opened its wing sail, and its speed increased sharply, with a relative speed of 16 knots! "

　　 "The bow is bombarded! Avoid it!"
