In the past, when pirates on the Inner Sea attempted to join up with the Venetian navy, even if the pirates had a numerical advantage, as long as the navy holed up inside their ship towers, the pirates could do nothing about it.
Fortified within the sturdy ship towers, the Venetian navy could fight two or even three to one and defeat the pirates of the Inner Sea.
But now, the situation was completely reversed; the pirates were ensconced in the ship towers, while the navy was getting battered on deck.
Winters saw a spray of blood burst from Wilson's neck, and despite the lead flying about, he rushed to the captain's side. However, it was to no avail; the captain was already dead.
With the Centurion fallen, the command system of the hundredth squad had collapsed, and someone needed to step forward to replace Wilson.
Amongst the cacophony of musket fire, cannon fire, wails, and cries on the deck, where nothing could be made out clearly, a deafening voice drowned out all others.
