Chapter 142: Storm Convergence XII

Each of the Seven Seas Traveler's silver sails was mobilized in unison, and they were turning in one direction, through the wind and snow and the icy rain, reflecting the faint starlight above the clouds. In the eyes of a seasoned sailor, it is like a perfect round dance, which swims in the world of wind between the rain of bullets and bullets.

The roar of artillery fire, passing by the light boat, was like a fawn walking through the woods, jumping and jumping, avoiding unpredictable dangers. The fireworks in the aisle seem to be a gift for the dancers, and the light of the fire only decorates its graceful hull.

Everyone was stunned.

Garas listened to Buck's words and looked at the lonely boat in silence.

If anyone is considered the greatest navigator of this age, it must almost certainly be Sir Marvier, and it is even rumored that there are no seas and storms that the man cannot conquer, and that no high wind and waves are but fierce horses waiting to be tamed.

In the past five years, no one has thought that he has really disappeared in the second world, because the other person may just be on his way to the third door and will not be able to return for a while.

So when Buck's eyes reflected the light boat flying in the flames, he almost subconsciously thought that it was the other party's masterpiece, and he might not be here anymore, but he also had a daughter. Legend has it that the young lady had inherited the mantle of the great navigator at a very young age.

Only he and his men could steer his own ship, which was his flagship, the Seven Seas Traveler, as it is now named.

Unfortunately, like most people, Buck was wrong. He had just made a mistake that he had taken for granted.

"Listen up, Buck,"

On the Fury, a stubble-faced Garras put down his bottle, "I don't believe in Ma Wei, let alone his daughter, I've grown up listening to rumors about this man for the past twenty years, and even stepped into this empty sea even after he inspired me to step into this empty sea. But today, I'm going to prove myself by sinking his daughter's ship. ”

As he spoke, he cursed and gave orders to his sailors: "I'll sink her, look at it, our ship is bigger." At this distance, they can hide for a while, but they can't hide for a lifetime, and I don't believe in this evil today! ”

Buck looked at the other party's back, and couldn't help but be silent for a moment, maybe the drunken man was not wrong, the best way to pay tribute to the old captain was to defeat him. Although the other side is only the daughter of the other party, but on this empty sea, there is no difference between men and women, they are just people adrift on this sea.

An era has passed, and although that name is destined to be remembered by history, in every era, there are always a lot of heroes emerging from this land, and they have nothing to do with whose daughter or whose descendants.

Who dares to set foot on this empty sea, who is not fighting against their own fate?

He turned around and ordered his lieutenant, "Calculate the other party's route, and we'll fire as soon as the rage opens." ”

……

The dazzling firelight became more conspicuous and gorgeous in the next moment.

Hilvid grasped the slightly trembling side of the ship with her hand, silently gazed at the exploding flames and the flying rain of bullets, and replied with a wandering gaze: "If I have learned anything from my father, it is not so much my knowledge of this empty sea, and the notes he left for me contain knowledge about it, thus opening the door to another world for me. ”

"The reason why I escaped from the world that bound me was that they murdered the lady, but in any case, one day I will go on my way. Of course, it is my honor to accompany the captain on this journey. ”

The stormy waves in front of her seemed to arouse the feelings in the girl's heart, and no matter how difficult it was, it could not stop the legendary captain.

And as her father's daughter, she has the same blood in her veins.

The more difficult it is, the more determined she becomes.

But Fang Yu was more confident than her.

"Don't worry," he replied, standing on the rickety deck, in a calm tone, "they can't stop Miss Tata." ”

Miss Ship Officer smiled when she heard this.

At this moment, the one who controls the Seven Seas Traveler is a fairy lady-

Or rather, she is the dragon soul of the Seven Seas Traveler.

The flickering light of the Fearless and the Fury was like the annual Winter Curtain opening of the Kaurin-Ishurian, but it was far from that time, and the beleaguered inhabitants of the North might not be in the mood to celebrate this year, as they were in the middle of last year.

It was nothing more than an exchange of artillery fire, and after the Fury fired, the Intrepid followed suit, and the two ships seemed to have been discussed beforehand, and the fire filled each other's gaps and weaved a dense web of fire.

With little hope of escape, the Seven Seas Traveler suddenly made a move that no one could have imagined, it climbed almost abruptly, slammed upward, and squeezed a way out of the fire net.

"What!?" Garas stared at the Seven Seas Traveler's incredible maneuverability as if petrified: "This can't be! ”

The winged sails that turned in unison caught the eye of everyone present, and the bulky sailboat was given an unconventional meaning at this moment, and it seemed to have life in everyone's eyes.

Buck felt his heart thump, and the light boat in the midst of the cannon fire stopped its hull just a millimeter, and then stood up—it seemed to be in a world of absolute static, with the fire of the cannons on one side and the quiet sea of clouds on the other.

Standing near the abyss, the artillery fire is discouraged—

The bottle in Garas's hand landed on the deck with a thud and rolled away, but he didn't realize it, and only watched the scene with a lost mind:

"Did Sir Marwe leave all his sailors to his daughter!?"

It was as if an invisible hand was plucking the strings above Kukai and playing a song of heaven that no one had ever heard before, and the Nanami Traveler, fluttering on the battlefield, was undoubtedly in the center of the stage.

In the command hall of the Crimson Queen, many people stood up at once, staring at the screen in amazement - how did the other party do it?

The wind ship can travel on the empty sea because of the balance created by the wind element in the hull, but this balance is not stable and must be carefully maintained.

This is why the variable air currents above the air and sea, and the crosswind and shear wind belts, are so dangerous – but even when the wind is calm, the sailing attitude of the ship is strictly limited, and when it rises and falls beyond a certain angle, it can capsize.

There are also many examples of ship wreckage and death in history.

Of course, experienced sailors and captains know more about their own boats, and they can also achieve some incredible maneuvers by balancing the ratio of wind output to different parts of the hull and maneuvering multiple sail surfaces.

It's just not including the current scene-

In plain sight, the Nanami Traveler stood almost completely, the deck forming a steep wall.

As a result, it loses its horizontal velocity and becomes stationary, but that is an illusion, because it is still climbing upwards.

The captain of the Crimson Queen, who has nearly forty years of experience, stood beside the lonely boat in the sea at this moment and watched this scene silently: "They still haven't exceeded the limit of balance, but this is not to say that all this is without risk, if it were me, I would never let my sailors do this." ”

"Can you do it, Captain?" Canghai Guzhou turned back and asked.

"Yes, if I and my sailors were given a little time, we could do it and be more sure. But they didn't have time to prepare under the heavy fire, they were taking risks, and I would never put the Crimson Queen in such a dangerous situation. ”

The old captain shook his head.

Canghai Guzhou silently looked in that direction, and an idea suddenly occurred in his heart, they might not be able to stop each other.

Buck quickly came to his senses, and the sudden ascent of the other party was beyond everyone's expectations, and he watched as the Seven Seas Traveler cut through the intertwined web of fire and into higher airspace—almost parallel to them, and soon to rise into the clouds.

But he couldn't throw in the towel so easily, and he clenched his fists, realizing that he had one last chance. Buck turned around and shouted to his lieutenant, "We still have a chance to open fire, before the other side enters the clouds." ”

'They lost speed and this is an opportunity for us.'

As if he had believed this, he waved his hand vigorously: "I order, the Fearless Turn to ten degrees." ”

"Ready, fire—"

The tilt of the deck of the Seven Seas Traveler caused almost everyone to fall.

But Fang Yu grabbed the obstacles around him to prevent himself from slipping across the deck and falling into the empty sea from the other side of the ship. Miss Tata's voice was coming through her head at this moment: "We lost our speed so much that we may not be able to dodge the next round, Mr. Knight." ”

Hearing this, Fang Yuan raised his head, just in time to see the flickering fire above the Fearless in the distance, the distance between the two sides was not far, and the artillery fire would arrive after a few seconds of flying. The thought had barely crossed his mind when the Seven Seas Traveler suddenly shook, and a cannonball hit the stern of the ship, sending the wood chips and shock waves almost flying.

In the midst of Ai's little scream, he crashed into the side of the boat, but it saved his life. With great difficulty, he came to his senses, and struggled to his feet on the side of the ship, just in time to see the Paparals roll past him like a round barrel, and hurriedly grabbed the other man by the collar and lifted it up.

The latter also waved his hands and feet, shouting, "My collar is hooking something-"

Fang Yu raised his head at this time, and found that his cousin and Sylvid had each grabbed a cable and stood firm, and the former also looked back at him, a little surprised: "Brother, don't you need help?" ”

Fang Yu was a little angry, although he was not a front-line combat officer, did he look so unbearable?

Sylvid spoke not far away, "Miss Tata," her voice was a little anxious, "Is the Seven Seas Traveler alright?" ”

"No structural damage was done." The voice of the fairy lady was coming from the ship.

And Baggins grabbed Ai Xiaoxiao, who had fallen, on the other side, and asked, "How far are we to reach the cloud area?" ”

But before Tata could answer the old sailor's question, Parker, who was holding the collar for the plover, pointed in that direction and was already screaming: "The clouds are ahead!" ”

Amid the shouts of the Paparals, the Seven Seas Traveler was rapidly rising upward, and the angle of its ascent was now beyond the limit of what a normal windship could reach, and the entire deck seemed to stand up, forming a huge slope.

In the eyes of everyone, the rising bow of the ship was pointing to the thick wall of clouds not far away.

"Mr. Knight, everyone, hold on."

Tata's quiet words were reaching everyone's ears through the Transmission Crystal.

The wall of clouds that had risen up seemed to fall suddenly, pressing down on everyone on the Seven Seas Traveler.

The Seven Seas Traveler was still rising, and a few shells whizzed past the stern of the ship, the last time the Intrepid and Fury fired. Fang Yu grabbed the side of the boat and looked back, just in time to see the moment when the clouds and mist surrounded him from all directions, gradually enveloping the vision behind him-

The Fearless and Fury vanished one by one, and the Jeffrey Redcoats' fleet in the distance was swallowed up by the clouds, and the 'window' was getting smaller and smaller until it finally vanished.

There were a few shrill screams from behind, but the cannonballs flew in some direction, from the left and right of the Nanami Traveler, or up and down.

Buck watched almost the moment the other entered the clouds.

He stopped, and the Dreadnought slowed down.

In the crystal projection, the bearded man is shaking his fist angrily, letting out some ugly curses. "Now I have to face the criticism of my employer," the other party reminded him, "and the whole hunting fleet can't keep the other party." ”

"They just watched us run away right under our noses."

Garras waved his hand and said angrily.

But Buck didn't answer, he just felt a little disheartened, he also had ten years of experience as a captain, but he couldn't compare to a little girl?

On the Crimson Queen, Jory turned back to the lonely boat and said, "The wind elemental detector has lost the trace of the other party, it looks like they should have fled." ”

The latter nodded.

However, there was no surprise on either of their faces, and to be honest, the 'Dragon Alchemist' was indeed as tricky as the information said above to escape from the two fleets. But it's not worth all the fuss about it, if the other party is a genius of Loofah's level-

Then it's nothing.

"Find out the location of the other party, and that's enough," Canghai Guzhou replied, "Go and contact the other fleets, and share the other party's movements with each side, this night has just begun, according to the above meaning, we still have to be careful of the power of the three goddesses to disturb the situation." ”

Jory looked at him and bowed slightly.

……

Entering the clouds, the surroundings are completely silent.

After making sure that the other party did not catch up, Fang Yu first checked the damage of the Nanami Traveler with the others, and the condition was even worse than expected, the shell that hit them passed through the stern, leaving a huge hole there.

It was where the wheelhouse was, and although they were lucky enough to have the rudder and transmission intact, the wind element had escaped through the damaged hull, in short, they were losing speed and altitude.

Luo Yu urgently repaired the stern of the ship to prevent the wind elemental from escaping further and to ensure that they would not fall out of the height of the clouds. However, the maintenance is only a temporary measure, and it is still a huge question for everyone to do next.

"Although there is no damage to the structure, the situation is not optimistic, and the Seven Seas Traveler can still maintain its voyage, but it is better to find a place to stop and overhaul it." Luo Yu recorded his inspection in the notebook, and then told everyone one by one.

"Where are we going?" Ai Xiaoxiao asked, the previous battle made her feel a little uneasy, "Are you still going to Gray Tree Ridge, where are the boxes and Mr. Big Cat Man, and Miss May?" ”

But will a trip to Greytree Ridge really solve the problem?

Luo Hao looked outside, and there was a cookie-cutter scenery beyond the side of the ship, just like the scenery they had after fleeing from Orenze at that time - sailing through the vast sea of clouds was not the first time for them.

However, the situation today is a little different from then, the clouds over the north are not thick, and it is impossible for them to sail all the way into the empty sea from here.

Not to mention the same as the last time, another day trip to the deep sea.

They had come to Artore to find evidence of collusion between the Crowtalon Sanctuary and the Shadowmen, but now that the descendants of Flor had joined the 'war' in complete disregard of the involvement of the three goddesses Marlan, Milella, and Ameya, it was a bit unexpected, seriously.

And they found something, but not conclusive evidence.

Now that they are back in Greytree Ridge, will they be able to face the attack of the Descendants of Flor?

People couldn't help but look at Fang Yuan, hoping that when he came up with an idea, every time the Seven Seas Brigade encountered a difficult situation in the past, it was the young captain who decided the direction, and they did get out of the predicament again and again.

Fang Yu was silent, he was watching Miss Tata send a message from the community, it was just a picture, and a few short messages.

However, the picture above should be taken by the consul of Gula Port, and he does not know the person who is in contact with him. But the crystal in the other party's hand, he had seen it, or he couldn't say that he had seen it, but it was still somewhat similar to the scene seen in the phantom.

And the message is even simpler:

'Under the leadership of the Storm Lord's followers, a new Lost Locks barrier will be unveiled in Gula Harbor to prevent the Shadowmen from invading the city—'

Perhaps the panic and anxiety of the people in the north for nearly half a year will come to an end. ’

He stared at the picture, then looked up and said:

"Maybe we'll have to go to Gula once."
