The rescue fleet sailed for several days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoEverything on the surface of the sea seems to be calm, it seems that the waves are calm, and it seems that you can reach the island of Sark safely. At this time, Rossi, who was standing in the cockpit of the Royal Oak, reminded the old captain: "Captain. Ahead lies the Bahanna Strait, the waterway that must be passed to the main island of Sark. It is a strait with reefs and undercurrents at the bottom. Please be cautious and cautious. ”

Salk Island is not an isolated island, but an archipelago of large and small reefs surrounding the main island. The main island on which the amphibious kingdom is located is popularly known as Salk Island. Because the water between the small islands and reefs is relatively shallow, the draft is deep, and large ships cannot pass through. So, for a large sailing ship like the Royal Oak to reach the main island of Sarke, it had to cross the Bahanna Strait, a narrow waterway sandwiched between two smaller islands and reefs.

When the old captain heard this, he took out a precision compass made of brass from his bosom and asked Rosie: "As an amphibious, you should be very familiar with this waterway. So please take the helm and help us steer in the right direction, okay? Although he had been sailing for decades, it was the first time that he had to sail such a large ship into the Bahanna Strait, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Rosie took the compass from the old captain's hand, glanced at it, and replied very modestly: "To be honest. I've never been at the helm, and I have no experience in driving a large ship. Let me remind you by dictation. So, the Royal Oak, the flagship of the rescue fleet, sailed first into the Bahanna Strait, and moved slowly and steadily under the command of the old captain at the helm and Rossi's dictation. Nine other galleons followed the flagship, one by one, into the narrow waterway.

When the entire rescue convoy – all ten galleons – sailed into the Bahanna Strait. A sailor in charge of delivering the news suddenly rushed into the cockpit out of breath and shouted out loud: "Something is wrong! Please stop the boat immediately! ”

The sailor in charge of delivering the news continued to report with an anxious face: "The lookout found that a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the sea ahead, blocking our way! ”

When the old captain heard this, he immediately and decisively gave an order: "Put away the sails immediately!" Anchor! Tell all the ships behind you to stop sailing! The first mate received the order and immediately ran out of the cockpit; The commanding sailors dropped the anchor and put away the sails of the Royal Oak. Immediately afterwards, he asked the crew standing on the lookout to wave two small red flags in their hands, and gave the order in the words of the flag: the nine galleons that followed the Royal Oak immediately stopped sailing.

Leonard, who was originally standing on the bow deck of the ship, bathed in the salty smell of the sea breeze and enjoying the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Bahanna Strait, also ran into the cockpit and asked everyone: "What happened?" ”

Seeing that the old captain and Rosie were busy, Tina, who was also standing in the cockpit, answered Leonard's question: "A huge whirlpool has appeared in front of the waterway, blocking our way. So the Royal Oak had to stop sailing. ”

When Leonard heard this, he scratched his scalp with his right hand in confusion and asked, "Could it be that we made a mistake?" Was this waterway impassable in the first place? ”

Standing aside, Rossi, who was quite depressed about the current situation, replied: "Of course this waterway is unblocked. At this time, Hanks, Crotty, Bran and Howl also ran into the cockpit one after another, paying attention to the current situation.

Hanks's suspicions then flared up again, and he angrily questioned Rosie: "Then how can there be a huge vortex blocking our way?" You're not fooling us, are you? ”

The old captain then played a round for Rosie, responding to Hanks's suspicions: "Although Rosie's little brother is an amphibious, he is definitely not deceiving us. I've already passed this sea route more than once or twice when I sailed in the past. It's the first time I've encountered such a strange situation today. ”

Hanks turned to stare at the old captain's face and continued to question sternly, "Then what is the current situation?" You must know that you have a great responsibility on your shoulders, and there is no room for mistakes. ”

Tina stopped Hanks again and continued to put on an aggressive posture: "Hanks! Everyone understands that they have a great responsibility. But because it's not clear exactly what's going on. So now, everyone is in a predicament. ”

Hearing this, Hanks' expression calmed down, and then he turned around again and asked a new question to the old captain: "Okay. In that case, what do you decide what to do next? Do you turn around immediately and exit the strait? ”

The old captain told the truth: "In such a narrow waterway, it is not allowed for such a large ship to make a U-turn..."

When Hanks heard this, he didn't expect the Royal Oak to be in a desperate situation, so he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and interrupted the old captain's words and asked, "What!?" - What do you want to do!? ...”

The old captain tried his best to regain the right to speak, trying to analyze and explain the current situation: "So all we can do at the moment is wait. The sudden appearance of the whirlpool is probably a natural phenomenon unique to the Bahanna Strait, something I have never encountered before. If that's the case, just wait a while and the vortex should disappear on its own. ”

Rosie, who was already anxious, asked the old captain and other partners with all his sincerity: "Mr. Captain." And all of you here. If you can trust me Rosie. To be honest, as an amphibious, I have never encountered such a whirlpool in the Bahanna Strait. So please allow me to go into the water and go and investigate. ”

There was a moment of silence for everyone present. Tina spoke first, acceding to Rosie's request: "Rosie, you go." We all believe in you. ”

Seeing this, Hanks closed his mouth again as soon as he opened his mouth: "How..." He wanted to say, "How can you trust him so casually and allow this amphibious man to leave alone!?" But the middle-aged uncle considered that it was Tina's decision, so he swallowed back the words that had already reached his lips. Immediately afterwards, Rossi ran out of the cockpit of the Royal Oak and ran to the side of the deck; Leaping forward, a fierce man plunged into the sea. Porphy bang. White sprays flew up on the sea level.

After the Royal Oak broke anchor and came to rest. Idle, bored, carried a long hardwood rod on his shoulders and a folding chair; Humming a little song leisurely, he paced to the deck at the bow of the boat: "The sea breeze blows, the sails swell, the waves hit me..." With a flick of the rod in his hand, he pulled the line out of a long and graceful arc and threw it into the sea.

Not long after the hook was thrown into the sea, Leonard felt as if he was pulling the line with great force; I couldn't help but hold my breath nervously, while holding the fishing rod firmly, and shouted in surprise: "Wow! What a big fish!! ——...”

Immediately after, on the surface of the sea near the whirlpool, behind a large reef, a green head of an amphibious man poked out. The guy lifted a steel trident high into the water with his right hand and shouted, "Damn it! If you can't wait for the evening, act now! ...”

With the shouting of the sailors standing on the lookout: "There is an enemy!" —" A rapid rattle reverberated over the Royal Oak. Ding-ding-ding...

The deck of the Royal Oak was in shambles. The shouts of various seafarers, the sound of footsteps, and the sound of weapons clashing together were mixed and noisy: "Prepare your bows and arrows, draw out your scimitars..." I saw that the upper bodies of dozens of amphibians had risen from the sea level near the maelstrom.

The group of amphibians frantically waved the trident in their hands and shouted: "Rush! ——...""Kill! ——...”... They rode in the dark shadows beneath the surface of the sea, and with incredible speed, they swooped down on the Royal Oak.

When the group of amphibians was only about twenty meters away from the Royal Oak. With wave after wave of huge white waves tumbling out. Crash! - Whoa! ——... I saw that a group of brown ichthyosaurs with streamlined bodies carried these amphibious pirates, jumped high out of the water, drew a graceful trajectory in the air, and smashed straight into the foredeck of the Royal Oak; Under the dazzling sunlight, it looks like a divine soldier descending from the sky.

An ichthyosaur is an ovoviviparous amphibian reptile with four fins on its abdomen that resemble the forelimbs of a seal.

These ichthyosaurs, about four meters long, carried amphibian pirates on their backs, and one by one they landed on the bow deck of the Royal Oak. Bang! Bang! ... The hull of the huge merchant ship then jolted. Leonard, who had already thrown away his fishing rod, was stunned at the sight of this strange sight; He was staggered by the hull of the ship, and almost didn't fall on the deck.

A two-pronged pirate, with a steel trident in his hands, leaped from the back of the ichthyosaurus beneath his seat and jumped onto the deck of the Royal Oak; Viciously waving the weapon in his hand, the fierce god shouted viciously: "Kill them all!" ...”

Riding on the back of the largest ichthyosaurus, with a lighter complexion, an amphibious pirate who looked like the leader; He raised his right palm and instructed the minions: "Wait a minute, listen to my orders!" "The minions of the amphibious pirates received the instructions and jumped off the backs of the ichthyosaurs; Gripping the trident in his hand, he waited for the leader to speak.

Each of these guys wore brown leather armor made of the thick leather of the Leeds fish, which had been specially processed and linked. Leeds is a bony fish with rough skin, extremely large size, and feeds on plankton.

Then, the amphibious pirate leader jumped onto the deck of the Royal Oak, and rushed to "welcome" their crew members with bows and arrows, scimitars, and lined up to "welcome" them, asking loudly: "Where is the princess of the Lars Empire!?" ”

After seeing their owners leave, the ichthyosaurs that had already jumped onto the deck writhed their bodies awkwardly, and slowly climbed to the side of the boat with the four fins under their torsos like turtles, and then jumped back into the sea with porphym and porphyr. On land, the ichthyosaur crawls extremely slowly, moves clumsily, does not have any combat effectiveness, and continues to lie on the deck of the ship and can only be beaten passively.

The old captain, who was greeting the crew on the deck, did not rush to act rashly, took a big step forward, and asked the pirate leader of the amphibious tribe in a loud voice: "What are you looking for Her Royal Highness Princess?" Leonard also drew his sword at his waist at this moment, stood on the side of the ship, watched the confrontation between the enemy and the enemy, predicted the current situation, and prepared to plan for the next move.

When the pirate leader of the amphibious tribe heard this, he smiled slyly and replied loudly: "We have been sent by King Sark to welcome you. Please let Her Highness the Princess come out and meet us. ”

Seeing that the acting skills of the amphibious pirate leader were really miserable, Leonard couldn't help but interject and mocked the other party loudly: "I want to coax a three-year-old child!" You guys would have been a ghost if King Sark had sent them! ”

Hearing this, the pirate leader of the amphibious clan put away his smile, threatened the other party in a vicious tone again, and slapped his palm twice: "Anyway." In short, your princess will never show up again. We're going to destroy this ship! "Smack! Syllable! Immediately afterward, the hull of the Royal Oak shook violently. Thundered... I saw squid tentacles thicker than a human waist climbing up from the side of the three-masted galleon.

Leonard saw a super-enlarged version of the nautilus, an ammonit, which was larger than a heavy truck, with red stripes on a white background on its shell, and slowly climbed to the edge of the deck not far from him. I saw that in its beak-shaped beak, it still held the long hardwood fishing rod that had been abandoned by the Great Swordsman.

When Leonard saw this, he couldn't help but move like a monkey, and his limbs posed with a look of great surprise; Staring at his eyes, his chin was about to fall, he covered his mouth and screamed: "Ahhhhhhhhhhh - What kind of thing is this!? - "At the same time, seven other ammonites climbed onto deck from other positions on the side of the Royal Oak.

Seeing that the amphibious pirates sacrificed a large weapon of destruction, in order to avoid a fierce confrontation between the enemy and us, they only increased the unnecessary casualties; Ignoring Hanks' dissuasion, Tina forced her way out of the cockpit of the Royal Oak and shouted to the leader of the amphibious pirates: "I am the princess of the former Lars Empire. What are the conditions for your retirement? ”

Seeing this, the pirate leader of the amphibious clan laughed triumphantly, and ordered his minions to attack: "Hoha! Sure enough, it came out. Everyone recognizes that this is the princess of the Lars Empire. All we need to do is leave her alive and kill all the other humans. Let's not forget that the cargo on this ship is very important to Salk. Don't ruin the ship. ”

Just like humans at first glance, a certain animal looks the same. Amphibians are not much better at recognizing human appearance. Therefore, although there is a wanted portrait of Tina, these amphibious pirates still need to witness it with their own eyes, and the identification of the scene can identify the female mage.

Immediately after, more ichthyosaurs fell from the sky one after another, and smashed straight into the middle of the crew standing on the deck of the Royal Oak. Thundered... Seeing this, the old captain calmly commanded the crew, and hurriedly shot a wave of arrows; They rolled on the spot, scattering to avoid the enemy who fell from the sky. As a result, the arrows they fired were extremely poorly accurate, causing no casualties to the amphibious pirates.

The enemies who had already landed on the deck began to charge forward with the ammonmon: "Charge! - "Kill! ——”... For a while, the killing shouts shook the sky. The enemy and the enemy were stuck together at close range, and fell into extremely cruel hand-to-hand combat. In this chaotic scene, long-range bows and arrows can hardly do anything.

The pirates of the amphibious tribe are all professional mercenaries who have received long-term professional training, all of them are strong and strong, and their wrist strength is several times greater than that of ordinary humans; And he thought he was fighting for his country and race, and he was so fierce that he had all killed him with red eyes: "Drink! Kill! ——”...

As soon as the ordinary crew of the Royal Oak and the amphibious pirates first fought, the scimitar in their hands was shot down and fell to the ground by the opponent's trident, turning them into unilateral slaughter targets: "Uh! ——”...

I saw that one by one the amphibious pirates picked up the human sailors who dared to go alone with them, with a simple stab of the trident, and threw them into the sea with a single wave, floating pools of blood. The crew members lost not only their strength, but also their sense of balance on the deck, and the agility that their bodies could maintain in the rough seas were much worse than each other.

Seeing that the amphibian pirates were so arrogant, they took the lead and shouted: "Drink! - " I saw him clench his hands tightly and shatter the ground, and a white spell energy immediately attached to the blade of the axe. With a flick of the battle axe in the fierce hand of the orc warrior, it slashed at the trident grip that an amphibious pirate hastily resisted in front of him. Boom!

With a large stream of crimson blood spurting out. The amphibious pirate in front of him couldn't believe his eyes, his eyes widened, and he screamed, "Uh! - "I saw that its body, along with the trident in its hand, was cut into two pieces by the orc warriors. With the sound of a horn and a snap.

The upper and lower bodies of the amphibious pirates fell and collapsed on the deck of the Royal Oak. Although the combat effectiveness of these amphibious pirates is far stronger than that of ordinary sailors, the gap is still very obvious compared to Leonard and the other old fritters whose strength has reached the level of ordinary generals in the regular army.

Immediately after, the heroic behavior and bold words immediately calmed down the sailors who were already panicked, chaotic, and almost demoralized, and found that the amphibious pirates were not invincible, and their morale was greatly boosted: "What is there to be afraid of!?" There are so many of us, and we can't beat a few pirates!? ——”

The old captain immediately waved the command knife in his hand, and according to the situation on the battlefield and the balance of forces between the enemy and us, he decisively gave an order: "Reorganize the formation!" Stop fighting alone with your enemies! Try to adopt a strategy of outflanking and besieging in groups! "The crews who had fled, rushed, and squeezed together to obstruct each other, and could not form a joint force at all, and had become a mess of porridge, received orders; They all stopped, turned around, and pointed their scimitars at the amphibious pirates.

Then, under the organization and leadership of senior seamen such as the first mate, the second officer, and the boatswain, the sailors retreated, and those who were too far behind retreated; At once, several amphibious pirates who had just landed and were far away from the rest of their accomplices were surrounded. Immediately afterwards, the sailors swung their scimitars in their hands, aimed them at the enemies, and stabbed them one after another.

The several amphibious pirates who were besieged could not resist the scimitars that stabbed from all directions with only one trident in their hands, and they screamed miserably one after another: "Ah!! - "Uhhh ——”...

Seeing that his side had already paid for the casualties, did not gain the upper hand, and could not quickly destroy the crew's will to fight, the pirate leader of the amphibious tribe changed his strategy and shouted loudly: "Hurry! In any case, catch the princess of the Lars Empire first! Leave the rest of the humans to Ammonite! ”

With a loud roar came: "Think beautiful!" - "Branda, who had climbed the mainmast of the Royal Oak and found an excellent sniper spot, took aim at the leader of the amphibious pirates, and released a sharp arrow from the bowstring.

Sou! - The body of this arrow is light and thin, drawing a banana-shaped arc in the air, and the speed is amazingly fast, and the angle is extremely tricky. - Poison Arrow! Although, the pirate leader of the amphibious clan waved the trident in his hand vigorously to resist, and there were several minions standing beside him to take cover. The guy still couldn't block the longbowman's arrows.

As a result, the sharp arrow shot by Bran suddenly changed track in the air, like a right hook, and quickly stabbed at the target. Although, the pirate leader of the amphibious tribe struggled to dodge the flying arrows in vital parts such as his head, neck, and heart.

But his armpit below his left shoulder was obviously not so lucky, and he was directly hit by a sharp arrow. The guy immediately let out a loud scream: "Ah! At the same time, dozens of amphibious pirates rushed and jumped, and they were already rushing towards Tina.

Seeing this, the old captain hurriedly shouted to the crew: "Stop them and protect Her Royal Highness!" ”

Although, after paying the price of several casualties, the crew desperately blocked most of the amphibious pirates; But there were still a few fish that slipped through the net, and they quickly approached Tina's eyes: "Uh! "Uhhhh ...

At this moment, the female mage has gathered a lot of spell energy on the royal ritual staff, changing the nature of the spell energy; Aiming at an amphibious pirate who was coming to attack, he swung and used the spell of "Electrolysis", an energy-assisted system. I saw that several small puffs of ionic mist glowing with light blue light burst out from the head of the royal ceremonial staff, wrapping around the pirate's body, releasing an electric current with special attributes.

The amphibious pirate who was wrapped in electrolysis was wrapped in light blue arc sparks, trembling up and down his body, and he was paralyzed in an instant: "Ah~~ah~~——..." Immediately after, a bright and dazzling gold-colored streamer flashed from the pirate's side. - Windlash!

Click! - The pirate's head was cut off the deck at the sound of the pirate's head. Blood gushed out of his neck. I saw Hanks clutching his sword, which shone with a purple and gold luster. Day and day, they are mercilessly harvesting the lives of outlaws who come to die.

In this way, in a very short period of time, Tina and Hanks wiped out the fish that several amphibious pirates had slipped through the net: "Ah~~Ah~~——..." "Uh! ——”... The two of them then began to assist the crew in dealing with the other outlaws who were trying to get closer. Seeing this, the pirates, who had already killed the red eyes, could not help but be afraid, and turned around one after another, and began to retreat in panic towards the position of their leader in the bow of the ship.
