At this moment, both ships looked absolutely miserable due to the solid collision that had just occurred.

After such an impact, the yacht's remaining glass, which had survived previous ordeals, was completely shattered, and a large section of the impacted side was caved in; one didn't need to look closely to know that water was certainly leaking in some areas. This maritime work of art could be considered completely ruined.

The ship opposite was clearly a wooden structure, and according to common sense, such a collision should have been like an egg hitting a rock, enough to make the other side fall apart instantly. Yet, everyone was stunned to find that the damage to the other ship was actually slightly less severe than that of the yacht.

Despite large cracks appearing on one side, it had actually maintained its structural integrity! This was simply unbelievable!

Could there really be such hard wood in the world?!

However, the state of the Sea Wolf was not actually as good as it appeared on the surface.

In pursuit of extreme speed, Nie Yun's brutal modifications were far too rough, completely disregarding the ship's load-bearing capacity as he crudely reinforced the Sea Wolf's propulsion system.

This resulted in the extra power from these add-ons placing a load on the hull that far exceeded the limits of a standard wooden sailing ship.

To put it bluntly, if it had been an ordinary ship, it would have fallen apart long ago during such a savage acceleration process.

However, most of the Sea Wolf's main body had been reinforced by Mechanical Insects; even so, the interior of the Sea Wolf was emitting "creaking" groans of being overwhelmed.

After that violent collision just now, multiple main beams inside the hull had fractured. If this had been an ordinary ship, it could have been declared a total loss by now!

But with Nie Yun holding the Mechanical Insects, that was naturally a different story.

The Sea Wolf was two or three meters higher than the yacht, and as the two were pressed tightly together, the people on the yacht could not see the situation on the deck of the Sea Wolf.

What made everyone's hair stand on end was that the ship opposite not only had no lights, but after such a violent collision, not a single human voice could be heard. It was as quiet as a ghost ship!

Fortunately, this situation did not last long; a voice, cold and seemingly filled with infinite rage, suddenly came from the opposite ship!

"Prepare the artillery!"

At this instant, the Annam mercenaries who did not understand Chinese felt a slight sense of relief; thank goodness, it was a ship with people on it!

However, everyone who understood the meaning of those words had their expressions change drastically.

"No... it can't be?!" Captain Wei's face turned pale, his mouth muttering unconsciously.

He could naturally see that this was not just a medieval sailing ship, but a—ship of the line!

Right before everyone's incredulous eyes, dozens of gun ports on the opposite ship opened with a boom, and cannon after cannon shimmering with a silver luster were pushed out in perfect unison, their pitch-black muzzles pointed directly at them.

"What the fuck!"

"Oh, hell!"

"Take cover! Take cover!"

The deck instantly descended into chaos, but unfortunately, it was already a bit too late.

"Fire!!"

Following this roar, the twenty-five cannons on the side of the Sea Wolf fired in alternating succession!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

If there had been other ships on the sea at this time, they would have witnessed a spectacular sight: the cannons on one side of a sailing ship of the line firing in sequence, and as the muzzle flashes flickered, the upper deck of the yacht was engulfed by artillery fire, falling into a sea of flames.

If such a scene of a warship engaging in close-quarters combat had appeared in a medieval naval battle, it would not have been strange, but the fact that one of the combatants was a modern yacht made it incredibly bizarre.

Because he was worried about hurting Chu Xiaoxiao inside, Nie Yun specifically avoided the core area of the yacht, merely raking the deck and surrounding areas.

However, the mercenary speedboat docked nearby was not so lucky; it received Nie Yun's focused attention. At such close range, there was basically no need to consider accuracy. After dozens of shells landed on the speedboat, followed by a series of "boom" sounds, the speedboat was essentially unrecognizable, miserably spewing thick flames.

Some mercenaries bravely stood up to resist, but the submachine gun bullets hitting the opposite hull simply made a "ding-ding-dang-dang" sound before being deflected. Aside from one rocket-propelled grenade hitting a gun port, blowing open a large hole and overturning one cannon, the mercenaries found that they were completely helpless against the Sea Wolf.

"Ghost ship! This must be a ghost ship!" Some mercenaries threw down their weapons in terror and turned to run.

Even for battle-hardened soldiers, such eerie phenomena that exceeded their common sense were enough to cause a mental breakdown.

The one-sided slaughter lasted for three full volleys. Aside from a few clever ones who jumped into the sea or hid inside the yacht, the mercenaries basically lost their lives in these rounds of artillery fire.

Captain Wei was not favored by the god of luck this time; he was unfortunately struck by a near-miss shell and collapsed on the deck, his body a bloody mess.

He struggled to open his eyelids; Manager Wu's corpse was not far from him, staring at him with eyes wide open in death.

"This... this is... retribution!" Captain Wei shed his last tear of regret and took his final breath.

The cannon fire ceased, and the yacht and the mercenary speedboat on the sea were burning everywhere, illuminating this stretch of the ocean.

"Xiaolang Suicide Squad! Clear the remaining enemies! Go!"

Following Nie Yun's command, dozens of Xiaolang Robots hopped down from the Sea Wolf and landed on the yacht.

However, the expressions on the Xiaolang's heads were no longer their usual cute and dazed look, but rather, uh... teary-eyed and on the verge of sobbing?!

As soon as these Xiaolang landed, they scurried around in a panic with teary eyes.

Well, they couldn't help but panic, because on the back of every Xiaolang was strapped a round cannonball roughly the same size as them!

A mercenary was hiding behind a collapsed iron frame, looking at the surrounding carnage and corpses with lingering fear, then nervously gripped the AK in his hands, crouching down and poking his head out to look around.

"Hmm?!" The first thing he saw when he poked his head out was a toy robot about twenty centimeters tall running toward him with short legs and tears in its eyes.

"Uh..." Such an unexpected and inconceivable scene caused his brain to freeze for a moment.

Then, the next moment, the robot *plop*ed, as if a lost child had found its family, threw itself into the mercenary's arms with tear-filled eyes, and grabbed his tactical belt tightly.

The robot raised its head, its teary eyes looking pitifully at the mercenary, filled with such panic and helplessness that, for a split second, it actually stirred an urge in the iron-hearted mercenary to protect it.

Uh... that would be the case if not for the bomb strapped to its back with a burning fuse.

"Holy sh*t!" (Annan dialect version)

"BOOM!" After the explosion, the world went quiet...

This scene played out repeatedly on the yacht; no matter how deep a corner the mercenaries hid in, they would be targeted by the Xiaolang Suicide Squad, who would then launch a suicidal charge.

"Sigh! What a sin!" Watching all of this from the Sea Wolf, Nie Yun couldn't help but sigh.

Xiaolang: "..." (Could you be any more shameless!)
