The Venetian warships gradually accelerated, and the Genoa warships, which were alone, were about to be caught up, seemed to be doomed.

As they got closer and closer, the Genoa sailors on the ship finally saw clearly the Venetian warship chasing them, the new multi-masted sailboat, and the huge size seemed to be enough to knock them into pieces.

"The other party is coming, Lord Christopher!" At this moment, the Genoa sailors had to hurry up. After all, the gap in strength between the two sides was too great, and it was a piece of cake for the other party to knock them down. However, Christopher, who was in the helm, seemed to have no concern at all.

"Are you ready?" The one-eyed old man asked again, looking calmly at Antonia and Grand Priest Peter behind him.

On the side, although Antonia Doria nodded, she was still a little nervous inside. She did not expect that the old man in front of her would burst out with such a madness. But after all, this was a gambling, and the bet was the life of the entire ship. This was not the deduction on the sand table and the guidance of nonsense, but the real struggle between life and death.

Can they really turn the situation around?

Seeing the huge Genoa warship approaching step by step, and seeing that the other party did not fire again, it was obvious that it was to end the long pursuit with a humiliating method such as sank. However, at this moment, Christopher immediately concluded that the other party's commander was extremely arrogant, and this would be the key to turning the situation around, and the other party had to pay the price for his arrogance.

"Anchor!" He shouted suddenly, and the old man roared, and if others heard it, they would be stunned. After all, it was incredible that he issued such an order at this time.

However, the Genoese sailors on the ship had been following Christopher for many years. Subconsciously, the sailors on the ship threw the anchor into the sea. Along the way, they all moved along the coast, so the sea area was covered with reefs, and the anchors falling into the sea directly hooked a reef.

"Everyone, hurry up!" Christopher asked his subordinates to loosen the rudder while giving the order.

Once again, without warning, the entire sailboat shook violently, leaning against the sea, drawing an amazing arc. At that moment, they passed by the Venetian warships that followed behind.

On the sea, the Genoese sailboats were like pendulums, and they avoided the other party's death collision in an unexpected way because the anchor hooked on the reef. Although the huge inertia almost made their warships almost torn and overturned, they finally succeeded.

Although the adventure played a role. For a moment, the two ships were almost close together. Looking at this scene, the Venetians on the ship were also stunned. They thought they were sure to win, but they did not expect the other party to make such unexpected moves.

"Prepare for the battle on the sidelines!" Christopher finally won the bet, and the outcome is crucial!

It is not uncommon to transform the original confrontation of navigation technology into hand-to-hand combat in land wars. As early as a thousand years ago, the Romans used this method to defeat Carthage, the overlord of the sea in the Punic War. This method of combat was used to reduce the opponent's advantage in naval battles. Especially the Venetians in the Mediterranean that are now rampant, their navy is indeed powerful, but they rarely use close-kill tactics. Many battles in the past have proved this point. Of course, such shortcomings also exist for the Genoese, but Christopher's command is undoubtedly an exception.

As early as several years ago, with the continued decline of the Roman Empire, the Genoese secretly opened up the colony in Kafa. In order to deal with the harsh environment, their sailors were no longer limited to their mother states, but were more barbarians living in the North Sea - the Ross, and Tatars. Because these barbarians lived on the coast were completely different from their inland relatives, they were good at water warfare and often became pirates rampaging around. Later, Christopher did the first thing he did was to incorporate these desperate desperadoes.

Therefore, at this moment, the opponents of the Venetians were about to face were not Italians like them, but a group of vicious people from the foreign lands of the north. Christopher's tactics were to transform disadvantages into their advantages. In this case, even if the Venetians wanted to use a catapult to shoot at such a close range, they could not threaten them at all. Then there was only a close fight.

"What--" Shocked by the sudden scene in front of him, Sainvenier looked at the Genoa warship close to him in shock, unable to believe his eyes. He originally thought that the warships of these people would be hit and sunk. However, the other party's actions were much beyond his expectations. It turned out that they were not going to surrender from the beginning. Even if they were afraid that the previous weakness would be just to make them careless.

"Ha~ I was deceived by you!" Seeing what happened, Ranieri Dandoro couldn't help but become interested in the commander on the ship. "I was indeed negligent, but if you think you can win this way, it only means you-"

"So naive!" The next second, a trace of ferociousness appeared on the man's face.

"Everyone is ready to fight the battle!"

Even though Land War was not the director of the Venetians, you should know that behind Ranieri Dandoro, his sailors were several times that of Genoa, not to mention that the elite guards around him pulled out their weapons and were already ready to compete with these Genoa.

...

"When the fight comes, you will hide behind me." Despite his age, Christopher also drew out his sword and protected Antonia behind him.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Chris, I can protect myself alone." The girl said stubbornly, rejecting the old man's kindness. The next battle must be a death battle. She didn't want to distract the old man.

Christopher didn't insist and nodded: "Okay, be careful, don't take risks alone!"

After saying that, the old man turned around and raised the sword in his hand high above his head, and let out a low roar like an angry lion:

"Catch your weapons! It's time to give those arrogant Venetian stupid pigs a little color!"

With the order falling, the Genoa sailors who could not wait to throw out the hook that had already been eager to try. The next moment, the sailors fighting on the side led one by one to jump onto the deck of the enemy's warship in front of them. Compared to their bravery, they were no less brave than the army of any country. Seeing this scene, although the number of Venetians was a little more, they were caught off guard and immediately became a mess.
