"What is this?"

"That's one of the reasons I went to Yorktown. ”

"Just for such a dagger?"

"It's not an ordinary dagger. ”

Claudia stared with interest at the black dagger on the table, ignoring the successive cannon fires from behind.

"This is a magical item that my mentor found in the ruins of the western New World. A lot of people have died to get it to me. On his way back to the Empire, my mentor intercepted it by the Stuarts, who hid it in Yorktown to prevent it from being snatched by the Stuarts. I didn't get it until I got to Yorktown. ”

"So what's the use of it, to help us get rid of the Stuarts?"

François pointed up with a bleeding finger: "Look at the weather outside." ”

Claudia looked out of the porthole, the sky was clear, and the midday sun was just right.

"Soon it will be changing, stormy and stormy. François drew his dagger and walked out of the captain's quarters and led Annan to the cabin.

- Will it change? Don't be funny, it's stormy.

Claudia was a little too convinced.

Jacques in the sky watched Stuart's battleship get closer and closer to the only surviving ship in the envoy's fleet, but he couldn't help it.

They had made several attempts to descend to get closer to the envoy's ships, but each time they descended, bows and arrows were fired from the ships, without giving them a chance to explain, and they were considered to be companions of the Stuarts.

This is wronged.

It's also a pity that they came at an unfortunate time, the two sides have already started a war before they appear in the sky, so naturally they don't dare to let them get close to the ship.

"Strange...... The wind is blowing...... "Lily is very sensitive to the feeling of the wind, today was a calm and sunny day, how could the wind suddenly blow, and the wind is getting stronger and stronger!

The airship in the air felt the wind very clearly, and only a few minutes had passed between Lily's notice of the wind and the time the gondola was blown and shaken.

The wind helped the speed of the ship, and the sails of the five ships that fled and chased were blown up, and the speed of the ship became faster and faster. The attack of the bow gun also had to stop, the wind and waves were strong, the artillery could no longer be calmly aimed, the shells were scattered, there was little point in firing again, and the ammunition was wasted.

François returned to the captain's quarters, still sitting down across from Claudia, only now with a sporadic drop of blood on his military uniform.

Claudia asked with concern, "Are you hurt?"

François looked down at his clothes and shook his head: "I'm fine." Do you think the sky has changed?"

Claudia looked out of the porthole again, and the sky was covered with dark clouds and rough seas.

"The Storm is Coming......

"How...... How is that possible?' Claudia's voice trembled.

"Well, how about a magical item. But there is a price to pay......"

......

A few drops of rain fell on Michelle's face, and the originally calm face was drenched in the rain.

The storm is not coming at the right time......

"Captain is here, Sir!" said James, bowing down.

Michelle stared at the ships fleeing two miles ahead, and without looking back, he asked, "Captain Daoke, what do you think is going on this day?

Captain Daoke wiped the rain from his face: "Sir, I have been sailing for more than 30 years, and I have never seen such a situation, and the storm came without warning......

"You say it's a storm? The wind is not small, and the rain is not heavy. Michelle turned.

"You can't be mistaken, it must be a big storm, you see the clouds in the sky, they are pressing in our direction, and the wind is getting stronger and stronger, just now it was level 4, and now it has reached level 6, according to my experience, this is the precursor of the storm. ”

As if to prove his words, the original drizzle suddenly became bigger, and the waves on the sea surface were at least more than a meter high, and the tips of the waves were foaming white.

In the airship in the air, Marianne gritted her teeth and said: "Climb, the wind is too strong, rise above the clouds to avoid the wind and rain." ”

"The storm came so strangely. Fat Orange said.

Jacques sighed, "Climb, this storm should save Claudia." ”

"Oh, why?" asked Lily.

"Under strong winds and waves, the speed advantage of big ships is gone. The dreadnought-class battleships had a wide hull and a large wave-bearing area, and their hulls were relatively high, so they were also greatly affected by strong winds, and the downwind was fine, and the speed of the upwind or crosswind was not as fast as Claudia's ships. Jacques explained.

Before the clouds peaked, the airship finally rose above the clouds, avoiding the more violent winds and torrential rain.

At this time, the wind speed on the sea surface had already exceeded level eight, the ship's anemometer had reached full value, and the wave crest was inverted and the waves roared. The envoy's flagship had already put away the mainsail, and only pulled two spinnakers to sail in the crosswind, and the course had long been unknown which direction it was heading, but it was just going with the waves.

However, to the peace of mind of a boatload, Stuart's battleship was no longer visible in the rain.

François stood expressionlessly in front of the porthole: "Mademoiselle Claudia has gone to rest?"

Annan replied, "Miss Claudia's seasickness is very reactive, and the maid is taking care of her and grooming. ”

The hull of the ship shook violently under the waves, and François grabbed the frame of the porthole and stood firm: "Monsieur Annan, are we overly sacrificial? ”

"After all, it's our first time using it, so let's accumulate experience. Don't worry, Your Highness, at least we've gotten rid of the Stuarts, and when we return to the Empire, we must make them pay. ”

François continued: "The notes deciphered by Monsieur Kane record that the ancients threw sinners from their chests with obsidian daggers on altars and prayed to God for rain with blood and beating hearts. The higher the cultivation of the victims, the greater the wind and rain.

Grandmaster Griffith probably couldn't have imagined that his sacrifice would be able to cause such a storm. ”

"Bang dang!"

The door was slammed open, and a soaking wet man fell in, struggling twice before he got up and stood firmly: "Lord Steward, the bilge has found many leaks, and the wind and waves are too strong, and I am worried...... I'm worried about ......"

"Worried about what?" Annan asked.

"I'm worried that our ship won't be able to hold on!"

......

Michelle smashed the guardrail on the ship's side with a punch and said angrily, "What the damn weather! The cooked ducks are flying away!"

"Director, will the envoy be in those four boats, maybe he has already fed the fish at the bottom of the sea at this time......"

"Someone saw her on the boat that escaped, and no one could prove that we did it. The Duke is about to go to war with Castile, and the last thing he wants is to bring the royal family involved. ”

James said in his heart that he was afraid of provoking the royal family and intercepting the envoy, so he got away with it!

Why have I been so unlucky lately?

Escorted wanted criminal, man ran away.

Intercepting Kane, not only did the people run away, but the spy organization in York City was broken in half.

Intercept and kill the envoy, and the people will run away again! The consequences are unpredictable.

Captain Daoke, with a safety rope tied around his waist, came again: "Sir, we are about to get out of the storm area, please indicate the next step......"

Michelle grabbed the side of the ship: "The fleet gathers, and when the storm is over, search eastward, I don't believe that their ship will be unscathed in such a big storm!"
