Chapter 482: Chapter 289: Obtaining the Dead Cow Magic System!! Capturing 8 Ships and 4 Type Component Cannons!!_2

The sails of these two-masted pirate ships are typically made of two types of components, each in one of three variations — the black Dark Elf Skin Sails, the white Velvet Sails, and the yellow Sun Coral Reef Sails.

The Dark Elf Skin Sails improve the ship’s speed at night, the Velvet Sails stabilize the ship to brave storms, while the Sun Coral Reef Sails boost the ship’s daytime speed.

All these components are common fixtures on pirate ships.

As such, these pirate ships are superior to the ones Lord Ivita and others used before, meticulously crafted by the Valji family.

Moreover, each of these two-masted pirate ships is armed with five type-two Whale Cannons, as well as one type-three Siren Cannon.

The Whale Cannons may fire slower than the whale oil cannons Lord Ivita and the team used previously, but after testing, they found the fire power significantly superior. The Siren Cannon is even more powerful.

Ivita stood on one of the two-masted ships, watching Wilson instruct the five warriors and two apprentice hunters they had hired to fire the Siren Cannon out to sea.

Two warriors loaded the cannon barrel with gunpowder, then a solid iron shell, finally igniting the cannon.

The cannon fired a shell towards the sea, emitting a secondary sonic boom. The blast made a huge pit on the seafloor and killed all the fish beneath the sea surface with the sonic wave, causing them to float up dead.

Ivita nodded approvingly, his professional team, along with the Hearthstone Witch, Wilson and others were very pleased with the results.

Trading ships with the Valji family turned out to be an upgrade of major caliber.

The captured sailors belonging to the Valji Family behind them, however, look downhearted.

Soon after, Ivita had Captain Sam test the power of the four-type pirate ship component on their three-masted ship — the Valji Mega Cannon.

Upon loading a special shell from the remaining five into the Valji Mega Cannon, a sound as loud as thunder echoed, and a reef visible just above the surface water two thousand five hundred meters away was blown off instantly.

The professionals on Ivita’s side exclaimed in amazement.

Captain Sam exclaimed in awe to Ivita, "On these waters, the best long-barreled cannons can only reach an effective distance of one thousand five hundred meters, whereas this Mega Cannon can effectively attack targets over two thousand meters away, perhaps even further, and the power is simply astonishing."

The Hearthstone Witch observed the cannon imbued with astonishing mystical power, "This cannon is capable of inflicting severe damage on both Great Wizards and Great Knights."

Captain Sam nodded, "A formidable asset in naval warfare."

"A relatively expensive weapon even in the navy of Belisarius, not something ordinary soldiers can get their hands on."

"I suggest we rename this Mega Cannon to Ivita’s Mega Cannon."

Ivita smiled, "I agree, Captain Sam."

Wilson fell silent for a moment, then said, "Although the Valji family owns this powerful weapon, they still lost to Lord Ivita."

"Does that not suggest these weapons are not as effective as they appear?"

Ivita shook his head, "The problem lies not with the weapons, but with the people."

"These are valuable items. But the problem is with those who wield them."

"Even the best tools require equally capable people to use them to realize their full potential."

The Hearthstone Witch immediately said, "Indeed, the Ivita Mega Cannon, in His Highness’s hands, will be like a tiger growing wings, making a more horrifying name for itself in these seas!"

Captain Sam told Ivita, "Boss. Type-four components are extremely rare, so we’ve hit a windfall today. Because this is probably the best mastered type-four component we could find. Wild components are extremely scarce."

"Typically, type-four components can only be found among the big smuggling clans in Cross Island and ultra-large pirate fleets. Even they only possess a handful. Only the legendary pirate ships would resort to the extravagance of equipping everything from the deck to the sails to the cannons and the helm with type-four pirate components."

"One of the reasons why those legendary pirate ships could rampage across the seas and strike fear into people like a natural disaster is that they have many type-four pirate components."

Ivita casually asked, "Ah, indeed, we were lucky this time. What about type-five components?"

Captain Sam shook his head and smiled bitterly, "That’s the stuff of legends. Maybe the legendary pirate ships have such things, but it’s only a possibility."

Ivita nodded his head.

The black and gold Cloak of Destruction automatically landed on his shoulders, then carried him into mid-air, levitating him to the most heavily damaged heavy ship at the rear of the fleet he was in. Seeing this, the Hearthstone Witch also transformed into a vulture and landed next to Ivita.

Seeing Ivita leave to attend to other matters, Captain Sam and Wilson began directing the fleet to follow four canon ships of the transfer port harbor master, who had returned prematurely, and enter the Central Harbour.

The port of transfer harbour master was unscrupulously absent during the naval battle just now. After winning the battle, he mysteriously appeared from somewhere. But following their ships could at least make dispersed pirates automatically give way, making things a lot easier.
