Chapter 738: Pirate King (3)
After a short rest, Edward Titch, who came out of the cabin, his face had returned to calm, he held the telescope, and looked at the Golden Deer in the distance, which was getting smaller and smaller, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Captain Edward, the Golden Deer is on the run. ”
The first mate next to him came to Edward's side, his face was pale, and he said in fear.
"Don't worry, she can't escape. ”
Edward lowered his binoculars and patted the first mate on the shoulder, not paying attention to the other man's trembling body due to fear.
"Control the speed, don't speed it up. ”
Edward gave the pirates a strange order, and despite the doubts, the pirates carried it out, and as long as they stayed on the Queen Anne's Vengeance and looked at the decorations of the skulls around them, the pirates would subconsciously fear Edward, because they did not want to be part of the decorations on the ship.
At this time, the Golden Deer has come to the end of the encirclement, and it is about to break away from the encirclement, and it can trample them under their feet again, and the number of up to twenty-five times cannot give the Golden Deer any damage, which means that their reputation is once again equal to that of the loser.
Today's events must be sung by the bards in the taverns of the Northland, who are always able to process the latest news into stories that people are willing to listen to, that they are willing to know, and that they are willing to give the bards some insignificant little money for these good stories, or treat them to a glass of barley wine and a tavern specialty.
It is conceivable that those who participated in this battle today will be nailed to the pillar of shame and laughed at by the entire Northland, and these so-called pirate alliances will leave a strong mark in the history of piracy to set off the identity of Francis Drake.
Even if they killed Francis Drake and destroyed the Golden Deer afterwards, it only erased their shame, but not the truth that has been recorded in history.
With this in mind, the few ships that were chasing after them were no longer going to dodge the attack of the Golden Deer, and the casters on the ships became serious and defended with all their might, in order to catch up with the Golden Deer and sink it.
At this stage, their efforts were extremely futile, drastically reducing the resources of the entire North Sea Kingdom, and the Golden Deer did not know how many times it had been upgraded, and it was using materials that could be called cherished.
As the speed increased, the air broken by the bow of the ship formed an air current, like a wall of air, blocking out the surrounding wind and rain, and even the occasional stone throwing was deflected and swept past the Golden Deer.
The Golden Deer is getting smaller and smaller in people's field of vision, and it has reached the end of the sea level, and after a few moments it will completely disappear from view, and some of the ships behind have stopped chasing, and the sound of cursing can be heard from the deck of the ships in the distance.
Edward Titch's face still maintained a calm expression, and his expression infected the pirates around him, making them remain calm in this situation that was already facing defeat.
Captain Edward must have a backhand, and the Golden Deer will definitely not be so easy, and after playing them and escaping, this battle will definitely not be so easy to lose.
Then, the whole ship was filled with pirates, and at the same time they gasped, their eyes wide open, their mouths slightly open, as if they had seen something they could not believe.
It was indeed an unbelievable scene, black dots fell from the sky, slowly rotating around the place where the Golden Deer was located like a whirlpool, and the originally turbulent waters became calm.
Because the deep blue has been rendered pure white by this time, the original storm has turned into a blizzard in an instant, the waves have turned into hills, and the sea has been frozen into ice.
The Demon King of the Storm, the premise of the Demon King is the Storm, and there is no need to mention the Demon King without the Storm.
"It seems that there is no room for us to interfere. ”
With a low sigh in his mouth, Edward Titch's hand in his pocket clenched his fist hard, his nails sinking deep into his palm, and waves of pain came into his mind, allowing him to maintain his apparent calm.
No, it has gone beyond the level of shock, and has fallen into deep despair, no matter whether it is any party who sees this scene, it will definitely fall into a short period of confusion.
The dense black dots like locusts crossing through were dragons, and even in this dim environment where the sky had been obscured by dark clouds, the dazzling white was enough to be caught by the eyes.
In the past ten years, more precisely, after the dragon slaying war launched by the Baltic Empire, the Baltic Empire began to build a formed dragon army.
Those dragons who were forced to surrender, or who joined the empire for profit, were frantically multiplying for the sake of treasure, and the number of dragons in the Baltic Empire reached an alarming level with the addition of dragon eggs for the spoils of war and the dragon eggs that had been acquired.
And because of the abundance of the Baltic Empire, these dragons have no restrictions on food, they can get adequate nutrition, and their development and growth rate is very fast, and the time to adulthood is nearly one-third.
But until then, these dragons were only rumors, and no one could be sure of the authenticity of this unit, even if it was now at the auction in Jutland, which was only the tip of the iceberg.
This time, the war that decided the ownership of the North Sea was different from what everyone thought, and the Baltic Empire was no longer fighting Drake through remote-controlled unruly pirates as before, but made an intuitive move and opened a hole card that had been hidden.
This is completely imperative to drive Drake to a desperate situation, not to give her any chance, any chance to come back to life, and to completely incorporate the waters of the North Sea into the territory of the empire.
The dragon troops shown in front of the pirates, the largest number is the white dragon, there are still a few black dragons and green dragons mixed in it, the red dragon is already more rare, the ice on the sea surface and the drop in temperature are all due to the dragon breath of the white dragon, only they can complete the ice sealing of this sea in a short time, regardless of the dragon breath consumed.
On the Golden Deer, the smiling pirates were ready to cheer, like ice sculptures frozen up, and remained motionless for a few seconds, as if time had been frozen.
It wasn't until one of the pirates sneezed from the cold that they woke up in a panic and picked up their weapons, subconsciously operating the ballista to raise the angle, and keeping their crosshairs on the dragons.
"The Baltic Empire. ”
"Is that you! Alice!"
Francis Drake whispered with an ugly face, she couldn't be too impulsive, if even she couldn't keep her composure, then the fight was really over.
It is like the only torch in the team in the dark night, when this torch is extinguished, that is, when the team is completely destroyed, there is no need for external attacks, and the fear of darkness and the unknown will break people's hearts.
"Eldest sister, what should I do?"
"Captain Drake. ”
The pirates below asked in a panic, not knowing whether to attack the dragons or do something else, such as leaving the Golden Deer and escaping on foot on the ice field.
Don't be kidding when you attack those dragons, even if it's an ordinary white dragon among them, it's a pure-blooded dragon, an enemy worthy of the efforts of the entire ship of them, and it will be possible to win.
As for escaping, that's nonsense, the outer part of the ice is still rough water, and through the pure white ice, you can clearly see the brutal battle under the water, not to mention the enemies on the periphery who are rushing at full speed.
No, it's not time to despair yet, they still have a chance to turn defeat into victory, and they also have Captain Drake, the founder of the North Sea Kingdom, the overlord of the North Sea, the Demon Lord of the Tempest, Francis Drake.
If it's her, as long as it's her, then there is still a chance
"I can't help it. ”
Feeling the hopeful gaze on the desperate faces around him, Drake had such an unspeakable sentence in his heart, and it was clear that the Baltic Empire was not going to continue to play the game of housekeeping.
She didn't know what had gone wrong, she didn't know why the Baltic Empire had made such a change, the only thing she could know was that she was really in a desperate situation today.
The dragon flew in the sky, and from time to time they raised their heads to look at the Golden Deer below, and at the frightened, overwhelmed expressions on the faces of those pirates, and their hearts felt an irrepressible pleasure.
However, none of the dragons dared to speak, and they kept their mouths shut, as if they were manipulated puppets, flying one by one, alert but not making any other attacks.
The pirate ships behind began to slow down as they approached the ice, and finally stopped steadily next to the ice, at this time they did not dare to flee, nor did they dare to attack the Golden Deer, they were careful not to attract the attention of the dragons.
The Golden Deer was no match for the dragons, and neither was the coalition of pirates, who were unsure if they were friend or foe, or if they would be able to take them out together.
To put it nicely, they are a bunch of dogs tied up by the Baltic Empire with interests
However, everyone knows that they have no loyalty at all, and they have been waiting for the day when they will rebel against their master
The rest of the pirate ships, each spaced very far apart, just surrounded the Golden Deer in the middle, and they were wary of the dragons in the sky
"Rest assured, they won't attack us. ”
Edward Titch's voice brought the pirates back to their senses, who were also in shock, and only then did they feel the coolness in the air, quickly drop their weapons, and rush to the cabin, looking for warm clothing from the wind.
The people of the Northlands, even if they are just pirates living at sea, know what to do in cold climates, if you are not careful, it will cause disease, then it is equivalent to wandering in front of the gates of the underworld, if you have frostbite somewhere in the body, then amputation is the best way to deal with it.
"That's a lot of money, Baltic Empire. ”
A dark smile appeared on Edward Titch's face, he didn't like the behavior of the Baltic Empire at all, and he sent out dragons to demonstrate naked against their group of pirates.
Even if he replaced Francis Drake as the overlord of the North Sea, in front of the Baltic Empire, there is no commendable significance, as long as the empire is willing, the position of this overlord can be replaced by another person at any time.
"Let's go, for the next battle, there is no need to use the Queen Anne's Vengeance. ”
When all the pirates had arrived on deck, dressed in the cold, and packed their gear, Edward Titch said.
In the distance, the battle had already begun, and the other pirates had already surrounded the Golden Deer, attacking the Golden Deer with bed crossbows and catapults removed from the ship.
Drake led her pirates in a counterattack, relying on the Golden Deer to fight a counterattack, and more importantly, to prevent the enemy from climbing onto the Golden Deer, if they were allowed to rush onto the ship and engage in a white-knuckle battle, the battle would soon be over.
However, Drake felt that the other party would not do this, because the white-knuckle battle would also cause huge losses to the opponent, and there was no need to make such an unwise decision when the victory was already in hand.
Unfortunately, she could not die as a king, but was finally engulfed in fire by the attack of a catapult like a lowly pirate, leaving behind the founder of the North Sea Kingdom, the pirate king Francis Drake, who died in today's record.
The surrounding pirates had also woken up from their superstitious Drake mentality, but none of them complained, did not turn and run away, and no one was willing to surrender.
They will continue to follow their captain and usher in their end on the Golden Deer that they have been staying on for an unknown amount of time, just because "Captain Drake, no, big sister, you are the only one in the underworld who can drive the Golden Deer." Such a sentence.
Cruel, unruly, cunning, betrayal, greedy
However, even the most humble pirates in the main plane have something in their hearts that they are willing to give their lives and are not willing to abandon them, and Francis Drake has such a charm.
