>>5430937>>5430938>>5430942"Do not let those slowpoke carracks get close! We can outrange them with our superior artillery! Aim at the rightmost ship! FIRE!" Roderick's orders were objective and with no room for alternative interpretations. The potency of his weapons were finally properly seen, as a few key blows were enough to destroy their galleons. For once it's refreshing to see a human captain that call pull off his own weight without your input, though that's likely just due to being unaccustomed to seeing human on human fights after being used to slaying fantastical creatures.
Surely they wouldn't mind a little bit of help then, would they?
Raising a protective wall of water to obscure the pirate's view, you focused on obstructing the path of the incendiary shots that would prevent the third ship from sailing. It was effective in blind sighting Bonebeard, but since their shots didn't have enough potency to pass through the water wall, they merely bounced off or surfed through the waves and sunk.
"Vlad! I just told you NOT to get in my way!" Roderick glares at you with anger. Being out of ammo, he had no way to finish off the last of the pirate's ship.
"I was just trying to help, with the ship being obscured by the water, there's no way for them to--"
You stop yourself after noticing the smoke caused by the cannons, delving into Roderick's thought process, he was letting the wind carry over to Bonebeard to prevent him from seeing an ambush.
It was a similar, more calculated plan that would have worked perfectly without your intervention. The only thing that it aided was in making you look like a fool.
