982.I can't do it in a sea battle; you can't do it in a knife fight (serious face) (page 1/2)
In the same dark night, when the travelers returned and set foot on their hometown, a special fleet was heading towards Port Chardeau along the undulating waves of the Sea of Mist..
This fleet consists of seven ships, three large and four small, and they fly a unified flag.
It was a flag composed of a bloody skull and a scimitar, and there was a bat-shaped emblem on it, which meant that it was the battle flag of a certain vampire clan. Considering that there is currently only one vampire clan on the continent that can make a living in the foggy sea, So this is naturally the famous Blood Terror Pirate..
The leader of the seven ships is the "Plunder"”.
It is the flagship of the Blood Dread Pirates and the beloved ship of the Blood Dread Duke Pablo. Because it is completely black, it is also called the "Black Ship"”.
For more than a hundred years, this ship has been a symbol of ominousness and disaster in the foggy sea. Whenever it appears in the sea, maritime merchants will be frightened. The most exaggerated deeds about this ship happened nearly a hundred years ago. Because of a certain plunder on the border of the Elf Kingdom, the sea elves' Amastasia fleet was dispatched to hunt down the Blood Terror pirates..
It is said that that large-scale manhunt across the entire Misty Sea was assisted by the Great Reef Province of the Atlanteans. Although the elf fleet that could control the storm defeated many pirate groups, the four roundups against the Plunder were all It ended in failure. The elves of Castile had been busy for three full months, but they still could only watch as Pablo and his flagship, loaded with elven treasures, disappeared into the depths of the foggy sea..
It was the most humiliating failure in the history of the Amastasia fleet, which had been ranked among the best on the mainland since the day it was built, and also forged the reputation of the "Bloody Captain".
However, few people know that in fact, in the great sea battle a hundred years ago, the Plunder's ultimate escape did not entirely depend on Captain Pablo's brilliant command. The ship also paid a heavy price for that victory that will be remembered in history..
It had been sunk in the big storm summoned by the Storm Queen during the third round-up. Barbro paid a terrible price to bring his ship back from Hades..
Today's black ship is already an out-and-out "ghost ship".
Wherever it goes, there is an icy gray sea fog that surrounds itself and the rest of the fleet like a curtain that blocks all exploration. No matter how the surrounding sea water moves, wrapped in this ominous sea fog, The entire sea surface in the area is extremely calm. On the cold and always wet deck of the ship, the vampire seals under Pablo's command stand everywhere in a lazy posture, performing their duties in a standard "fishing" state. Responsibilities.
In this regard, the Blood-Dreaded Archduke, who was standing in front of the steering wheel, just pretended not to see it..
The pirates' style of conduct is completely different from that of other organizations. Each ship has its own system of superiority and subordinates. Unless it is a critical war or an exciting part of dividing the spoils, the captains will rarely interfere with the daily life of these guys. Behavior, as long as they can fulfill their duties, regardless of their work attitude, Pablo will just turn a blind eye..
What's more, at this time, he has a more important task in his hands than teaching his crew members a lesson..
“There are still three hours of flight to the destination, and we have not deviated yet, but we have already approached the waters of the Elf Kingdom, and we must be careful next..”
Next to Pablo, who is holding the steering wheel, the coquettish first mate Claire is holding a compass to confirm the course for her captain. In her hand, there is also a detailed sea chart specially used by pirates, with a red on it. X mark, that's Pablo's destination.
an island.
It is located off the coast of Port Chardo, not far from the border of the Castile Elf Kingdom, but its terrain is a bit strange. It is located right in a semi-enclosed reef sea, which means that once Pablo's fleet is blocked in it , waiting for the fate of this pirate fleet is destined not to be too good..
And based on the "emotion" of the Castilian elves towards the Blood-Dreaded Pirates, there is no way that the mighty Amastasia fleet would let this opportunity pass by..
Although hundreds of years have passed, the past victories and defeats have become legends talked about by humans. However, for immortal species like elves, those vivid pasts seem to have happened yesterday, so the painful defeat must still be there. Stimulating the keen self-esteem of the sea elves.
Pointy ears are never a good thing.
All the bad habits that shadow elves have are shared by other elves, but they are better at hiding them..
Although Pablo still has his signature evil smile on his face at this moment, allowing Captain Bloody to come to the steering wheel in person actually shows his caution and concern..
“I don’t know what’s on that damn island, so Murphy is crazy enough to demand that I go there to confirm it in person. Zhuo, my fleet has now become the navy of Transia, so I have to bow to Murphy. Then I became his adopted son, but I didn’t see a single son..”
Pablo sensed the sailing status of his ship and turned the steering wheel to let it take advantage of the night wind. He cursed：
“I feel that I have made a loss-making deal. If other pirates who are seeking a life in the Sea of Mist learn that the great Captain Pablo has become a dog in Transia, they will definitely laugh out loud. By the way, every time they have a drink and They even pulled me out of the fights to make arrangements..
My good reputation is completely ruined.”
“Well, it's not really a loss-making deal, right?？”
Mate Claire obviously has a different view on this.
She glanced at the stern of the ship behind her. In this area wrapped in ominous sea fog, there was a very strange glimmer of light lingering outside the black hull of the Plunder. It was difficult to see clearly without looking carefully, but it does exist.
It is precisely because of the wrapping and protection of this light that Pablo dares to lead a fleet to sail on today's very dangerous sea..
“The protective crystal Mrs. Tracey gave us is quite useful..”
whispered the bloody first mate.：
“It has been four days since we left Blood Raid Port. We even deliberately took a few laps in the open sea but were never attacked by the World-Burning Demonic Soldiers. This is enough to prove the protection she and Murphy extracted from the Creation Energy. Can protect us from being tracked by the subspace.
I released the Storm Crow to fly and search in this sea area. In the past few days as we moved forward, at least two ships were burned on the sea by those subspace pioneers..
This proves that the World-Burning Demon Soldier's pursuit of the Blood Terror Clan has not stopped, but we no longer have the risk of being 'surprised' to open the box..”
“Huh, just saying！”
Pablo stretched out his hand to take Claire into his arms, nibbled her charming face again, and said：
“If it weren't for the fact that this thing is really useful, I would be a full-fledged dog for Murphy to explore the way.？
Alas, look at this heavy bullshit life that has bent the backs of us free pirates. For this miserable little life, we have to surrender to a power like Murphy, which makes people unhappy..
Look what a bear we've all been dragged into. It's really bad..
But then again, now that it has been confirmed that Archduke Charlemagne left something in the star realm, we must hold on to Murphy's thighs in the hope that one day we can recover the lost treasures of the Blood Terror Clan..
I have a feeling, Claire.”
Captain Bloody narrowed his eyes and looked at the dim starry sky, he said：
“No matter what is in the observation laboratory hidden somewhere in the star realm, it can help the members of the Blood Terror Clan get rid of the current predicament of being hunted but unable to fight back..
Well, to use the language of Transians talking to foreign heroes, this is the 'main mission' of our Blood Terror clan..
By the way, how are the landlubbers on the next few ships doing?？”
“Well, I think you better not ask, lest it offends your appetite.”
The very charming first mate Claire suddenly dropped her face and said：
“Creatures like gnolls are naturally at odds with water. I also specially selected some old seals with good tempers to teach them the secrets of driving ships on the sea. However, after so long, they still can't drive by themselves, even with the water. It is difficult to even move on the fleet.
If you really let them do it, I estimate that you will lose at least two ships in a few hours..”
“blanch！”
Pablo's face suddenly hurt, and he said unhappily：
“So it’s better to send those landlubbers to Port Chardeau as soon as possible. Although Wise Wolf really hopes that the Gnoll Kingdom will have its own merchant fleet, I guess its wish will not be realized for at least a few years..”
