Maritime.

Collapse, collapse, collapse...

The battleship continued to shoot the fatal "insect balls" onto the "Iron Bone" with a powerful trebuchet unhurriedly, and the escape of the "Iron Bone" was constantly delayed by killing people and destroying sails.

What Bassem wanted was a "living man" on board, and of course it was impossible to choose to sink the "Iron Bone" directly with the absolute superiority of the battleship's firepower.

Especially when hunting strong people who are qualified to be their prey, Bassem seems to be extremely patient, and the battleship under his command, which can be called a mobile fortress, is where his confidence lies.

As a powerful fourth-class battleship, the "Tomb of Dry Bones" is placed there with displacement and strong firepower, so it is naturally impossible to control it without a sufficient number of "sailors".

But...

Trample.. Trample.. Trample..

Although the ship is now "full of people", helmsmen, sailors, trebuchet operators... Obviously, there are many sailors who are constantly busy in their respective duties, but there is a deathly silence.

There was no talking, no shouting, no command, no laughter!

The "sailors", dressed in tattered sailors' suits and showing their blue and black skin, operate the sailboat with standard and skillful movements, except for the sound of footsteps, there is no noise in between, let alone head to ear...

At first glance, the pirate ship is well-trained, even more disciplined than the Navy.

But if you stand on this ship in person, although there are indeed many "people" moving in front of you, it feels like you have come to a dark and gloomy cemetery in the middle of the night, which makes people shudder.

Not to mention, the almost undisguised stench of corpses on board is a nightmare for any human with normal senses!

At this time.

High on the stern of the battleship, a dwarf strange man with a bandage covered in rune spells and a white silk cloak around his neck stood silently.

However, his bare skin was covered with purple-black scars that had healed after festering, and although his eyes were smart and he was a living person, it was not much different from the appearance of the "corpse monsters" on the ship.

Bassem held a heavy golden staff in his hand in a casual gesture, less like sailing on a treacherous sea, but more like patrolling his own pasture.

"Hello Ka, 'Iron Bone William' will definitely be a good material! his own strength is strong enough, and his experience is legendary enough, maybe he only needs him, and my collection is enough to build the 'Bone Altar'.

'Iron Bone' and 'Iron Bone' are also good nicknames, and soon, you'll be mine!

The laughter was unpleasant and harsh, like the sound of rough stones rubbing against each other after hundreds of years of thirst.

Especially when he laughed, revealing a disgusting tongue covered with black patterns, like a snake's head drilled out of a dark cave, it made people feel extremely uncomfortable just by looking at it!

Whew-

At this time, the southwesterly winds are very strong.

Although the two seagoing ships are in a stalemate because of their own problems, the absolute degree is still not slow.

Between chasing and fleeing, time passed quietly.

Although the sun was already rising, a layer of morning mist slowly drifted on the sea in the early morning, and the visibility was not much stronger than in the early morning.

"Windward shift!"

Evan once again gave the command that had been on his lips most often since sailing against the wind.

The zigzag sailing method makes the sailboat deviate at any time, and the course must be constantly corrected to ensure that the warship moves in the established direction.

In fact, at this time, the "Conch" and the "Thumb" towed behind it and the two oncoming pirate ships were already close at hand.

However, due to the large sea fog that happened to rise nearby and the effect of the "Misty Silver Lantern" that was turned on in advance, the pirates who were chasing did not show up.

"The sail is long, the sailboat brakes, we wait for them to go first!"

The sailors immediately took control of the foremast and mainmast sails, turning them diagonally in opposite directions, and the force was cancelled out, and the two ships floated silently on the surface of the sea with the current.

From Milan, Evan received extremely detailed information about Bassem, much more accurate than the pirates' official descriptions.

Among them is Bassem and one of his subordinates, who is extremely insensitive.

After all, it is already a "corpse" driven by mortal ability, and it is good that the original guy on his body has not rotten, so how can there be any sensitivity at all?

Therefore, Ai Wen boldly seized the upper hand position this time and grasped the initiative to attack, otherwise he had been driving downwind for a long time, and the crew was too tired.

Soon, two pirate ships passed them two kilometers away, one after the other, though they both noticed that the sea fog in this area seemed to be thicker than in other places.

I only thought it was a cloud of fog formed in a specific area, and one was busy running for his life and the other was busy chasing and killing, and he didn't pay attention to it.

Fluttering Ridge –

So they didn't notice a white seagull flying out of the fog, stretching its wings across the sea, and silently landing on the "Iron Bone", which was really miserable in appearance.

After many upgrades, the seabirds' abilities are far from what they used to be.

When fighting the "White Shark", he was able to easily send a message to Gehr, and now even if he completes close instant communication, there is no problem.

Picking up a strange beetle that seemed to be made of gold into the sea again, William's strong skills couldn't help but take a few breaths.

Whew!

Even though the beetle's attack was much thinner than it was at the beginning, and it seemed that the opponent's insect ball was about to run out, what was more desperate than the continuous attack was the deep and heavy feeling of powerlessness that was almost suffocating!

There is only oneself and the enemy in the vast sea, and the sails are highly damaged, and the enemy cannot give himself a chance to repair them in such a chase battle.

Even if he was so ruthless that he gave up these crew members who followed him and used the "Uyi Wind Return" to glide away, it was just gliding and not flying.

When he falls into the sea alone, the ending is no different from now!

However, even if they can survive on the "Iron Bone" for a while, most of the crew members have reached their limit under the culling of the strange beetles, and the terrifying "Dry Bone Crypt" is already close at hand.

In the downwind direction, they could already clearly smell the thick smell of corpses coming from the ship...

The exhaustion of mountains and rivers is the true portrayal of him and the "Iron Bone" at this time.

Fluttering Ridge –

"Hello, Mr. William, we're meeting again! ”

"Who?!"

The voice that suddenly sounded in his heart startled William, who was already highly nervous, and quickly turned his body to find the owner of the voice. But judging by the reactions of the crew members next to him, this voice is clearly only audible to himself.

"No need to look for it, I'm on the mast in front of you. And time is running out for you, long story short. ”

The voice in his heart sounded again, and this time "Iron William" finally determined the source of the sound, and looked up at the mast, on which there was a snow-white seagull staring at him with round black eyes.

At this time, William didn't care whether the existence behind those black eyes was a bird, a man, or a devil, and the appearance of the last straw made him have no other choice.

Clearly aware of his precarious situation, William doesn't have the capital to play the mentally retarded game of bargaining, even if he is slaughtered, it is better than turning into a corpse!

"Can you save us, and at what cost do I have to pay?"

William, as an experienced former naval officer and now a pirate captain, immediately realized that there was something wrong with the fog at sea just now, and someone was hiding there!

"Very good! Mr. William! You are obviously a smart man, let's go back and fight! A decisive battle may have a way to survive, and if it is delayed any longer, there will be a part of your iron-clad William on the 'Bone Altar' of Bassem." Hahaha...."

He didn't say who he was, he didn't make any promises, he just announced his existence and ended the message directly, and the white seagull flapped its wings and flew back into the mist.

"Conch".

"Is that all it takes? Don't we need William to cooperate with our tactics?" Milan asked suspiciously, seeing Evan reopen his eyes.

"The level of trust between us and the other is limited and simply not enough to support a complex plan. With William's usual style, it is difficult to say what he will choose if there is no hope.

But knowing that there are reinforcements, he will fight to the death with Bassem as we hope, and besides, does he have a better choice at this point?"

With his ruby cane in both hands, Evan explained to Milan.

Moreover, he is not a charity. If you didn't want to use the power of this senior knight to complete the slash with a strong lineup of four mortals, wouldn't it be nice to wait for them to lose before you did it?
