In an island fortress, the Spanish defenders huddled in the fortress and were being bombarded by British warships on the sea.
The defenders should not have been so passive in this battle, because the range of coastal defense fort guns is usually higher than that of naval guns, and the accuracy of the artillery is really worrying when the warship is located at sea and is shaking and bumping.
Under normal circumstances, naval guns have to be within one thousand meters to ensure effective hits, while the range of coastal defense fortress guns can usually reach two thousand meters.
However, this time, the British launched a bombardment on the island fortress from a place beyond the range of the fortress' guns.
This allowed the defenders to be beaten quite passively, without being able to make an effective counterattack.
As for sending warships to fight a naval battle with the British? The Spanish only had one brig patrol boat in the port, while the British had five warships, one heavy cruiser and four light cruisers.
"Boom!" After enduring too many shellings, a wall of the fortress finally collapsed, and this became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The commander of the Spanish garrison had to ask people to raise the white flag.
.
On one of the five light cruisers, Norrington raised his telescope and looked at the raised white flag, and then said to the officer beside him: "Send two ships to land and take over the fortress, and the other warships will maintain a vigilant formation."
"Yes, Brigadier." The officer hurriedly conveyed Norrington's order through the semaphore.
Watching the two light cruisers sailing towards the port of the fortress and continuously lowering the boats, Norrington handed the binoculars to the officer on the side: "Mr. Hansen, I leave this to you, I'll go
take a break."
After saying that, Norrington walked towards the captain's cabin.
After arriving in his captain's cabin and making sure that no one would break in, Norrington sat on the chair and then released his grip on the power that was constantly churning in his body.
Wisps of black energy emanated from his body and lingered around his body, making the dignified British Commodore look somewhat evil.
After returning to Port Royal with Chen Mo, Chen Mo fulfilled his promise and restored his status as commodore of the Royal Navy, and helped him complete his transfer to the Knight of Death at Sea.
Because they were born out of the death knight, the sea death knight also needs to draw strength from war and killing like the death knight.
Therefore, Chen Mo assigned Norrington a cruise fleet and asked him to lead the fleet as a commodore to eliminate the Spanish strongholds so that he could accumulate strength.
Norrington readily accepted this, but asked to retain his identity as Blood Sail's chief mate. After receiving Chen Mo's permission, he set off with the fleet.
The Spanish fortress in front of him was already the fourth one he had captured. With the new cannon equipped by the fleet, which had a range of two nautical miles, Norrington, who had the range advantage, took down these Spanish strongholds without much effort.
Once removed.
In addition to accumulating meritorious deeds for Norrington, it also brought him great strength.
Although several battles did not result in much killing, these people who died in the war still provided Norrington with the strength needed for the first transformation of the Sea Death Knight.
The powers he absorbed transformed his body and also changed his life form.
From an ordinary mortal, he was gradually transformed into a necromancy, and his physical fitness was also enhanced. He had the physical fitness that a sea death knight should have, and he was also able to use some simple necromancy spells.
However, some of the negative emotions drawn from the strength on the battlefield also began to impact Norrington and erode his mind.
This is the price that must be paid to gain power, but Norrington does not want to lose himself and become a monster who only knows how to kill.
Therefore, he kept in mind Chen Mo's teachings to him, and after every battle, he would control his growing strength and maintain himself as much as possible.
He was not dazzled by power and started to frantically create wars to gain more power.
Not only that, he also did not choose his "mount". For Norrington, he hoped to get back his former ship, the Dauntless that sank in Tripoli, and his former crew.
A knight without a mount is incomplete, which also causes Norrington's power at the moment to be incomplete. He cannot channel the negative emotions from the power he draws into his "mount" like a normal sea-death knight, thereby improving his strength.
While "mounting" the power, you can also purify your own power.
However, Norrington had no regrets and still insisted on getting his ship and crew back.
Chen Mo did not stop him in this regard, but just let him work hard on his own. In fact, as long as Norrington can persevere, it will be good for his growth as a sea death knight.
The vast majority of undead souls have no intelligence or self. Only a very small number of advanced undead souls have wisdom, self and thoughts, as well as the most important thing for an undead soul - obsession.
As we all know, the main reason for the birth of various undead spirits is that they were unwilling or resentful, or they couldn't let go of things.
These things become the reason why the dead are still attached to the earthly world, causing their souls to be unable to enter heaven or the underworld and can only stay in the human world, eventually turning into various powerful undead spirits.
The stronger this attachment and the deeper the obsession, the stronger the power of the undead.
Or to change to a more popular explanation now, obsession is the "anchor" for undead creatures to maintain themselves. The stronger the obsession, the more stable the "anchor" and the stronger their power.
Norrington has already formed an obsession with the Dauntless, and in the process of transforming into an undead creature, the stronger this obsession is, the more benefits he can gain. When he truly takes it back as an obsession
When he joined the Dauntless, he was even able to usher in another transformation in strength and gain a huge improvement.
This is also the reason why Chen Mo did not take the initiative to help him get back the Dauntless. Chen Mo hoped that Norrington could use his own power to summon the Dauntless and its crew.
Because the Death Knight born in this way is the most powerful.
Chen Mo had already told Norrington these things when he was transforming him into a Death Knight, and Norrington was also prepared for this.
So when the negative emotions generated by the previous battle were absorbed by Norrington, he hurriedly hid in the captain's cabin and dealt with these powers according to the precautions taught by Chen Mo.
He extracted the power that could be used by him and absorbed it into his body to strengthen his body. The negative emotions and blame were separated and expelled from the body and injected into his sword.
This sword was exactly the gift given to him by Governor Swann when he became brigadier general. After he regained his position as brigadier general, the sword returned to his hands again, and now it happens to be these
