In the faint moonlight, the sea ripples, and the lights on the ships look very conspicuous in the night.

In the shadows not far from the dock, Nangong Yu, Massimo, and Marco sat leisurely on the ground, each holding a bottle of rum in their hands.

In this shadow, by the moonlight, everything on the dock can be seen clearly, at this time on the shore of the dock, many pirates are patrolling, but a closer look can find that the eyes of these islands are less fierce than usual, and a little more fearful.

On the lighted ship, there are many sailors, nervously preparing for the sea.

On the docks, several pirates in charge of patrolling were patrolling along the shore, their faces looking a little nervous, trying to keep their tired eyes open, and look warily at the darkness around them.

Now in troubled times, as pirates, they actually live a relatively chic life, and their stronghold here is relatively secretive, so they are usually very relaxed. But a lot of strange things have happened in the past two days, and Maxim has ordered all personnel to shrink their defense, strengthen patrols, and no one is allowed to be lazy.

Because of this, the atmosphere here is extremely solemn now, these pirates have not rested for a day and a night, fatigue is constantly eating away at their brains, and they don't want to disappear completely in their deep sleep.

The Clever shuddered, and one of the men on the left said to his companion on the right, "Do you think they'll be going well tonight?"

"I don't know, I hope they go well. The man who spoke was Brent, and he tried to keep his eyes open wider, and he didn't rest for a day and a night, when the sleepiness continued to invade his brain.

The pirate on the left shook his head, shook off some of his exhaustion, and said, "Is the appearance of the Kraken real?" ”

Brent also seemed to shudder, but he pretended to be firm and said, "Don't panic, I heard that as long as you don't go out, you will be fine." ”

The man said, "No, you wait for me a little while, and I'll go and make it easier." With that, he walked towards the seaside not far away.

Brent and the others stood waiting for him, and the place they were patrolling was about a kilometer from the pier, and in the distance on the sea beside the pier, two overhauled ships had spread their sails and headed for the dark depths of the ocean.

I don't know why, Brent only felt a faint uneasiness in his heart, he had a feeling that there might be an accident when he went to sea this time.

People are like that, sometimes this inexplicable feeling can become very accurate, Brent was originally just a commoner, and he was able to join Maxim's pirate group purely because of life, but since he became a pirate, he has liked this feeling, robbing rich merchants and counting the gold coins that he has easily obtained, that feeling is really amazing. And a lot of businessmen are

They were very afraid of death, and as long as they successfully boarded the ship, they would kneel and present gold coins and goods in both hands.

With a slight movement of his ears, he heard a loud noise, which became louder and louder, as if something big had happened on the docks, and the people on the docks were watching in horror the direction of the sailboat.

Brent's heart tightened, and he hurriedly looked towards the sea.

When he saw what had happened, Brent's heart could not bear it, and the two sailboats were spinning on the surface of the sea, and the bow of the ship was almost submerged in the water, and it seemed that it was about to sink.

Brent's pupils dilated, and he muttered, "The Kraken is here." After a while, the fear in my heart was finally released. "Sea-demon-" roared almost with a terrible voice, and the entire dock was plunged into an unparalleled panic.

......

In the brightly lit room, the atmosphere was oppressive and dreary, with a hint of panic.

In the middle of the room, Maxim sat on a chair with a sad face, and in the center of the room, there were many people, obviously high-ranking members of the pirate gang, and what happened tonight was far beyond their comprehension.

"Tell me why our ship sank again, tell me everything that happened, and don't let any details be missed. Maxim suppressed his voice, which was hoarse and trembling.

One of the pirates knelt in front of Maxim with the same trembling eyes, and only muttered, "Sea...... The Kraken, it must be the Kraken, we met the Kraken. ”

Maxim, who had been sitting in a chair, suddenly stood up and stepped in front of the pirate in one step, and the stout thug in the depths grabbed him by the collar and carried it to his nose, his eyes were blood-red, and he glared at the pirate fiercely.

"Kraken, Kraken, I know that when it comes to Kraken, what I want to hear is the details, the details, do you understand?"

Looking at Maxim's appearance, everyone present was also full of misery, at this time, their minds were still echoing the scene of the previous shipwreck, it was unimaginable that the overhauled sailing ship, not long after it went to sea, sank again strangely, without warning, without enemy ships, just like that on the sea, it sank when it was said to sink.

"Is it really the Kraken ......" Grabbing the sluggish man, Maxim finally came back to his senses slowly, his voice was a little hoarse, obviously, the sailboat's accident again also gave him a big blow.

As if to alleviate the terrifying atmosphere that had been suppressed to the extreme, a pirate named Bill spoke: "Chief, before we went to sea, we sent all the shipwrights to inspect all the ships in detail, and there were no abnormalities, and we have sent additional men to patrol near the docks. ”

"Then why does the ship still sink?" Maxim's face changed slightly, if it is really as Bill said, then this matter cannot be explained at all, the shipwright overhauled, strengthened patrols, and it stands to reason that no one can approach, indicating that the problem of the ship only appeared after going to sea. According to this line of thought, it is possible that only the "Kraken" can explain it.

Thinking of the inexplicable events that had occurred in the past few days, Maxim suddenly felt that his mouth was beginning to suffer.

Bill continued: "Just now, all the preparations were in place, and the ship set sail normally, but no one could have imagined that within a few minutes our sailboat would be so sinking... And around, no other ships were found. Chief, I can't think of any other explanation than the Kraken. ”

After listening to Bill's words, Maxim shook his head slowly, a flash of fear flashed in his eyes, now a total of four sailing ships are silent, nearly fifty pirates have disappeared, and the most important thing is that they don't know how to solve it at all.

People have a strong fear of the unknown, especially unsolvable crises, so the tired pirates are on the verge of collapse.

Now that the ships are silent and the personnel are gone, Maxim has completely lost his mind, and he no longer dares and does not want to face this matter.

Grabbing the half bottle of rum on the table, he raised his head and drank it all.

At present, there are only two of his ships left, and a third of the manpower has disappeared, and the pirate group that was originally very beautiful now looks very lonely, and Maxim stares at the ceiling blankly. What's next?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and a possibility came to mind.

If someone buys off the shipwrights in advance, or if someone reveals the location of the outpost to someone who cares, then everything can be explained.

The shipwright deliberately created problems for the ship, so that the ship went out to sea and the ship leaked through the lapping of the waves; the secret post position arranged by himself was leaked out; it was secretly solved one by one, and then it was panicked on their side.

Someone betrayed himself!

The more Maxim thought about it, the more it made sense, and looked at everyone in the room, all of them suspicious.

He took a light breath, forcibly suppressed the anger that was gradually rising in his heart, waved his hand, and said lightly with pretended calm: "Everyone obeys my orders, from now on, no one can go out, and they will not go to sea to hunt for the time being." ”

Maxim decided that he had to find out who had betrayed him.

Everyone looked at each other, but replied respectfully, "Yes, sir." ”

At that moment, a man walked through the door, and with trembling hands, he handed Maxim a piece of paper and an arrow.

He said, "Report, boss, there was an arrow shot from outside just now, and there was a note on it." ”

Maxim took the note suspiciously and looked down at it. Suddenly, his face changed greatly, and the rising anger could no longer be suppressed, and he tore the note to shreds.

......

After doing everything, Nangong Yu took Massimo and Marco back to his ship.

Jim diligently made a table of delicious food, Rosa specially made a lot of wine, and the group enjoyed the food happily.

After Nangong Yu took Massimo to secretly solve those secret sentinels, although Ragusa was calm on the surface, those who were interested could find that the pirates who were roaming the sea in the past were becoming fewer and fewer, and they had disappeared. Many merchants traveled to and from the cities around Ragusa, and no one encountered pirates again.

"Nangong, what's the situation, they should have collapsed. Anna took a sip of the wine made by Rosa and said to Nangong Yu with a smile.

Nangong Yu nodded, he was also a little hungry at this time, and his mouth was stuffed with meat.

The rest of the people glanced at each other, and Rosa was the first to speak: "It must be scared, my story of the Kraken must be good, just look at the expressions of the people in the tavern, they are all trembling with fear." ”

Rosa turned her eyes to Marco, who was sitting on the chair and almost stuffed her mouth, and said, "But, Marco, your boatmanship is good, I didn't expect you to be able to repair ships and destroy them." ”

Marco smiled, tried to swallow the food in his mouth, and said, "It's nothing, I've been learning shipbuilding with my father since I was a child, and this little thing is not difficult for me." But I still need Nangong's help, without him, I can't get to the ship. ”

When Massimo heard this, he was immediately displeased, and said, "I also helped, and I solved all those dark whistles." ”

Anna glanced at him and said, "Come on, you don't know yet, if Nangong hadn't found them one by one, would you have been able to solve it?" I'm afraid it would have been discovered by pirates a long time ago." ”

Massimo said: "That's right, Nangong, I admire you more and more, how did you find them? They are hidden in the woods, it is not easy for ordinary people to find them at all, and also, those methods you taught me are really useful, I feel that my swordsmanship has improved a lot." ”

Anthony said, "By the way, there's another person, what about Ron? Wouldn't that kill him?"

Nangong Yu smiled and said, "Do you remember the note I asked Rosa to write, at this time he has already appeared in Maxim's hand, tomorrow Ron will go to him, Maxim will solve him." ”

Anthony asked Rosa, confused, and said, "What is written on it?"

Rosa smiled heartily: "Keep it secret, but Nangong said that this is called killing people with a knife." What are we going to do next?"

Nangong Yu flashed a cold light and said: "In the next two days, you don't have to do anything, just rest well, and the third day is when those pirates are buried in the sea." ”

Regarding Nangong Yu's arrangement, everyone did not have any opinions.

Nangong Yu's current wisdom and ability have already made everyone admire.

In the face of the huge pirate group led by Maxim, with Nangong Yu's strategy, in just two days, they were almost crushed.

The four-star commission seemed to be solved easily, and the pirate group that originally needed the army to go out to fight stepped into the abyss that Nangong Yu had prepared for them step by step.

According to Nangong Yu's words, this is called a soldier who surrenders without a fight.

Before that, who would have imagined that with the power of six people alone, the entire pirate group would be restless in two days.

If Massimo hadn't separately offered to use these pirates to practice swordsmanship, the process might have been much faster.

After these two days of getting along, Nangong Yu's status in the hearts of everyone has been greatly improved, and everyone has only one thought in their hearts at this time, Nangong Yu is still good to be a friend, if he becomes an enemy, it will be terrible.
