Chapter 113: Tides
If the surrounding Tang Dynasty and the Falling Moon Empire are dragons, then these pirates are the head snakes on the ocean, and anyone who provokes them will be bitten back.
Moreover, the sea is vast, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to hunt down pirates. At a time when the war situation is extremely delicate, no one wants to attract new enemies to themselves for no reason. Moreover, there are more small neutral countries around the sea, which do not belong to the Tang Dynasty, and if you can use pirates who are good at naval warfare for your own use, it may work wonders.
As a result, various countries turned a blind eye and adopted a policy similar to "Zhao'an", and it was even rumored that the Falling Moon Empire and the Tang Dynasty had privately reached an agreement with many powerful pirate groups close to the Tianluan Sea in their territory, acquiescing in their plundering rights, and only if they did not go too far, they would not intervene.
Wang Jianxing has not encountered pirates in his previous career, but ordinary pirates are finally a little moral, as long as the robbed party surrenders, they only take money and do not kill people. It's just that the Black Skull Pirate Regiment is absolutely different from ordinary pirate gangs, they are known for their ferocity, and all of them are inhumane guys, but whenever the skeleton flag crosses, it is cut down and killed, and there is no survivor, even women, children, old and weak are not spared. One of the most notorious and feared pirate groups at sea.
The outrageous pirates eventually caused outrage, and several nations sent their armies to set traps to encircle them, but they were able to escape with their main forces, but they never appeared in the sea again. Some say they have died in the belly of a super-powerful sea monster, while others say they have found a mysterious island far away from the world and created their own country. However, all opinions are just speculation, and no one could have imagined that they would be able to see that terrible skeleton flag again.
As soon as they shouted, the whole ship was thrown into disarray, and the sound of alarm was loud, mixed with panicked cries, and in the hasty footsteps, the cries of children and the neighing of pets, the jumping of chickens and dogs, and the running out of the room while dressing, and some people who had just received the news ran out of the room while dressing, and they were extremely embarrassed. The Black Skull Pirates have been gone for several years, but their legacy remains.
A golden oval enchantment erupted, and soon engulfed the entire Yu, and the ship's guards rushed from all directions to hear the news.
After the initial panic, Wang Jianxing calmed down when he saw the passengers at a loss, because as the captain of the ship, he was burdened with the responsibility of sending the group of people to their destination safely, and the duty brought pressure and motivation to him. Wang Jianxing began to organize his forces in an orderly manner and planned to fight to the death: "Gentlemen with combat effectiveness, please gather consciously at once. What the Black Skull Pirates mean, I think everyone knows very well! This is an existential moment, and we need help to get through it together! Also, the old, weak, women and children, all retreat to a safe place at the stern! ”
Chen Lin hesitated, he was so unlucky. He wanted to retreat to the stern of the ship with those ordinary people, but after thinking about it, he sighed and joined the battle members as well.
Although I was ready to encounter a crisis on my journey, I didn't expect that the first crisis would come.
Wang Jianxing said loudly: "Very good, warriors, on behalf of all the crew and passengers, thank you for your help. Tanks, warriors, please come ahead, our barrier can't last long, and we need your strong defense; Magician, archer and other ranged attack classes should be at the back of the line; Assassins and other high-sensitivity professions should ambush in the hidden places on both sides of the ship, if the barrier is broken and you have to fight in close combat, you can catch the first pirates on board by surprise; Auxiliary occupations or those who have healing skills should be free to rescue the wounded; In addition, if there are any special fighters, please report them directly to me. ”
In terms of professional dignity, Wang Jianxing did not have the right to dictate to the warlords, but this was the moment of life and death, and he became a convincing leader with the most experience at sea.
Most of the ship's members were merchants, some were also warlords, but many more were civilians with no combat capacity. Including the guards, in fact, only about 300 out of a thousand people can fight, and the most powerful of them is a powerful demon master, whose level is higher than that of the guard leader. However, compared to the fierce Black Skull Pirate Regiment, this strength is a drop in the bucket, Wang Jianxing knows this very well, he can only pray to the gods, hoping that the Black Skull Pirates who came this time are not the main force. Then, maybe you can fight to the death.
The distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and the black shadow revealed its true face, several monsters that looked like octopuses, but were at least a hundred times larger than the octopus, stretched out the disgusting tentacles and paddled quickly, floating towards the Clark with teeth and claws.
"Chimera!" Wang Jianxing couldn't help but gasp, he recognized this kind of monster, a powerful sea demon, far higher than ordinary monsters. As a means of sea transportation, it is also an extremely powerful magical beast, and it is not just a means of transportation to be able to subdue so many Chimera Magic Seals, and there must be a powerful beast envoy in the opposing camp, which is the same origin as the beast tamer, but it is a more advanced combat class.
As soon as his words fell, there was a sudden "bang" sound on the wings of Lu Yu, and then more than a dozen sea demons with bodies like giant pythons, no eyes, nose and ears and other organs, only a large mouth like a sucker broke out of the water. The barrier was pierced with a slight ripple in their suckers. A terrible scream was heard, and some of the thieves who were secretly ambushing were sucked into their mouths, and then the sea devils sank into the water and disappeared. It was only left with endless fear for the whole ship, and the timid hands and feet could not stop shaking, and even their teeth were shaking. I just desperately look left and right, for fear that these impermanence will appear again at any time.
There are also a large number of scouting sea pet radiant carp around Lu Yu, in order to resist the sudden attack below the surface, but at this moment, these radiant carp did not sound the alarm at all, and then judging by the posture of those python-like sea beasts and the characteristics of breaking the enchantment, Wang Jianxing quickly came to the judgment that the Bilachi Demon Devouring Pit can be immune to the enchantment that is weaker than it, and can avoid the sea demons who are lower than it and the scouting sea pets.
The Chimera Demon Chapter and the Biraci Demon Devouring Pit are two high-level monsters that are rarely seen on the sea, and the strength of the other party can be seen from this, just that beast envoy is an incomparably headache. Before the strong pressure, Wang Jianxing was about to collapse, but he still forced himself to calm down, and issued an order: "Fire Demon Dao Master and other martial artists pay attention, what the Biraki Demon Devourer Pit was most afraid of just now was flames, if they attacked, they could use the Fire Flying Skill to repel them!" ”
The thick fog dispersed, and a black shadow stood in the wind on the magic seal, and he let out a long breath: "It is still the air of the Tianluan Sea that is the most charming, and of course, the smell of blood makes me even more excited!" ”
