The sky gradually darkened, and Anna had not come out since she entered the cabin, perhaps, she was still correcting the route map, Nangong Yu thought.

He lazily leaned against the side of the boat, looking back at the deep blue waters, thinking about what had happened in the past few days.

The mysterious aura, the guards around Anna, the Southern Cross, these things seem to be entangled together.

What kind of treasure is the Southern Cross that the Duke personally sent someone to bring it back?Who did those mysterious breaths come from?Who were those guards around Anna?Did the mysterious aura come from those guards of the Duke's family?And what was their purpose by Anna's side?

Nangong Yu has every reason to believe that these things he is encountering now are not as simple as they appear on the surface; among them, there must be a hidden vortex, since the Duke sent someone to take back the Southern Cross, will other forces that do not belong to the Duke also participate in it, and what does the Southern Cross represent? The mysterious aura and guards lurking in the Duke's Mansion are also because of the Southern Cross.

At this moment, the soldiers on the mast suddenly shouted: "All attention, there are unknown ships approaching." ”

Nangong Yu was on the deck, immediately alert, jumped up, and looked in the direction of the soldier's finger.

By this time, the sky had become completely dark, and faintly, two dark shadows of ships were heading in their direction.

Nangong Yu fixed his eyes and saw that the size of these two ships was about the same as Anna's flagship, but at this time their bow was facing them, and they couldn't see the hull, they couldn't determine the type of ship, and they couldn't see how many sailors were on the board.

All the soldiers of the three ships came to the deck and took up their weapons vigilantly, and the soldiers in the bow kept waving the flag to keep them away, but the two ships were like they didn't see it, and they headed towards Anna's flagship at great speed.

"It's a pirate. Anna didn't know when she appeared behind Nangong Yu, her voice was slightly panicked, but she quickly calmed down, "I also encountered it once before, and I was quickly beaten away, but today I actually encountered two pirate ships." ”

The soldiers on the ship had already taken up their arms and aimed at the incoming ship, and it was obvious that if the other side chose to force their way aboard, then it would inevitably go through a battle.

There were two ships in total, because of the dark sky, until the other party came to the vicinity of the fleet, and it was clear that there were more than twenty people crawling on the two decks, staring at Anna's flagship.

But the soldiers of the other two frigates seemed to make them a little uneasy, and perhaps they were also more afraid of those soldiers, who were all uniformly armed and armed under the command of Duke Gallo. Instead of choosing to force their way aboard directly, the two ships reduced their speed and circled Anna's flotilla, as if to observe the situation.

At this time, a man who looked like a soldier captain on Anna's side said loudly: "Soldiers, listen to orders and prepare for battle, this is just a group of pirates who are not in sight. ”

The soldiers immediately raised their weapons, steered the ship, and took the initiative to approach the pirate ship.

The four ships huddled together at the same time, making a creaking sound, and the two sides of the board were set on the side of the boat, and the two sides immediately fought fiercely.

The soldiers roared angrily, picked up their weapons, and smashed them at each other with their heads and faces, and the pirates tried their best to fight back in the same way, Nangong Yuzhi, who was watching, frowned, and at this time he still had the leisure to turn his head and ask Anna: "This is how you fight?"

Anna asked Nangong Yu suspiciously: "Otherwise, this is the simplest and most effective way." She seemed to have forgotten that just yesterday, Nangong Yu had beaten the strongest soldier in the barracks with a single look.

Although the two sides basically fought by brute force, the Duke of Gallo still had the advantage, because the weapons and armor were much better than the pirates, and from a distance, most of the pirates were just dressed in cloth, and the slightest poke by the weapon would cause them to be injured and lose their ability to fight.

Nangong Yu didn't want to participate in the battle at this time, his main responsibility was to protect Anna behind him.

At this time, the pirates were defeated, but the crews on both sides were already fighting together, and there was no way to evacuate and escape, and the ship was surrounded by a vast ocean, and it was impossible to escape by jumping into the sea.

After a while, all but those who were killed by bad luck were captured by Anna's side.

The battle came and ended quickly, Nangong Yu shook his head helplessly, it didn't seem to be much of a threat with such combat power. But Nangong Yu thought about one thing wrong, this is not his original world, and not everyone has the skills of him.

Suddenly, Nangong Yu remembered something, turned around and asked Anna, "Don't you think it's strange?"

Anna still had a hint of nervousness on her face at this time, she didn't think about it, and said, "What's so strange, isn't it all like this?"

Nangong Yu shook his head and said to Anna: "No, I always feel that something is wrong." ”

Anna looked at Nangong Yu seriously and said, "What's wrong?"

Nangong Yu said: "If I were a pirate, I would at least equip the people on the ship with bows and arrows, and a salvo shot at close range could kill and injure at least some of the enemies, and then board the ship, would it be more effective? In addition, do they really only have the strength of two ships? If there are really only two ships, why do they dare to approach your fleet?"

"The soldier's armor, the banner on it, all represent that this is the Duke of Gallo's fleet. Judging from the number of ships alone, they are obviously outnumbered, and there is no other way to attack after boarding the ship, so they choose to fight hard, if the Adriatic Sea is full of such pirates, how can it become a big problem for you?"

Anna listened carefully to what Nangong Yu said, and suddenly felt that this was the case, but she was a little nervous just now and didn't pay attention to these details. Thinking about it at this point, it is true that there is something wrong with these pirates.

The convoy had finished the battle and was counting the number of pirates, and after a while, a man who looked like a captain stood by the side of the ship and said to Anna, "Miss Anna, we have completely controlled the pirate ship, and we have won a great victory without a single casualty. ”

Anna nodded, her delicate little face seemed to be welling up with a layer of redness, no matter what, she was still happy in her heart if she won the battle, after all, these were two pirate ships, and they could be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.

Nangong Yu stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the captured pirates from a distance, but it made Nangong Yu even more suspicious.

The pirates, all yellow-skinned and ragged, fell to their knees with their heads bowed, showing no sign of resisting.

What kind of combat power does such a pirate have, not to mention going out to sea to plunder, it may be a question whether he can survive until tomorrow, the more Nangong Yu thinks about it, the more he feels that something is wrong, and hurriedly turns to Anna and says, "Anna, we should leave quickly, it's very wrong." ”

Anna was stunned, but she saw Nangong Yu's eager face, and she could see that he cared about herself, her little face was red, but she was very happy in her heart.

Seeing that Anna didn't react, Nangong Yu shook his hand in front of her and said, "Anna, we must get out of here quickly." ”

If it is said that on land, no matter what danger is encountered, Nangong Yu is confident that there is no problem in leaving safely with a person, but at present, in this vast sea, the only place that can stand firm is the ship under his feet, if something happens to the ship, even if Nangong Yu has strong martial arts, it will not work, not to mention that there is an Anna in front of him.

Anna was enjoying Nangong Yu's care at this time, and she didn't feel anything wrong at all.

But at this moment, around the fleet, like ghosts, suddenly appeared five huge ships, each much larger than Anna's flagship, with a black flag on the towering mast and a strange figure drawn on it.
