Chapter 469: Exposure and Touch
The western coast of the Black Sea is close to the side of the New World.
A fleet of six pirate ships with black dragons' heads is sailing down from north to south on the north-south trade winds, which prevail throughout the year.
Chirp...
Because it is close to the mainland, the seagulls who act as sea guides accompany the fleet in flocks.
As a migratory bird, autumn has arrived, and it is time for them to go south for the winter, just in time to accompany this fleet.
"After more than a year of absence, I finally returned to the New World, or is this more suitable for pirate life. β
Jasmine Styella, dressed in close-fitting leather armor, stood on the bow floor of the boat, crossed her hands over the top and stretched hard, her slender waist and long legs, and her tall and toned figure was exposed.
Looking sideways, I saw the captain next to him, wearing a shirt and slim trousers for his daily attire, leaning on the railing and looking intently at a letter.
I couldn't help but lean my head over curiously, and after looking at it twice, my face immediately showed a full sense of anticipation:
"Anne, our brother has sent a letter again? Do you have a gift this time?"
Behind the golden mask, a pair of large emerald eyes glanced at the scarlet belt around Jasmine's slender waist. Stretched out a slender but powerful finger and gently poked the girl's white forehead, no matter how she dodged, she couldn't escape at all:
"Go, our brother, it's my brother.
And, Jasmine, what have you been thinking about all day? You've arrived at the door, what kind of gifts do you bring?
"Well, well, I've never worn a dress since I'm so old, so it's better to have a banquet in a beautiful castle!"
The girl was overjoyed, and thought that the captain's proposal was really wonderful.
"Heh, you're thinking too much. Evan didn't have time to pick us up for the time being, and when we were halfway across the Black Sea, he had a temporary mission to go to the Southern Continent.
Evan asked us to go directly to Port Hatrafa, he had already explained the fleet command room, and there was a special connection with us, and by the way, he would help him solve a small problem. β
Anita was merciless in pouring cold water on this guy who wanted to get into trouble.
"So, that is to say, the banquet... Got it?"
Jasmine's little face immediately collapsed.
Riding the Texgar Current, which was returning to the New World, they had been walking across the Black Sea for two months, and their information was somewhat closed, and they had not yet received news that a war was going on in the Southern Continent.
Evan couldn't have told her anything like that.
Otherwise, it's still two to say whether you're in the mood to make small talk here.
Whew-
The fleet rode fast through the colonies of Atlan and Sark, and had entered the territorial waters of Tulip.
Bells, bells, bells...
The ship's alarm bell suddenly rang at this moment, and then the watchman's warning voice was heard from the mainmast:
"Report to the captain, the Navy warship has been discovered, it is two Tulip fifth-class cruisers!"
Whoosh!
Two tall figures were already like two nimble female leopards, scurrying out of the cabin and shooting towards them.
He was also dressed in slightly exposed leather armor, and the scimitar at his waist was unsheathed.
One of them asked solemnly:
"Captain, are you ready to fight?"
These two officially knightly female pirates were Anita's newly recruited subordinates in the Old World: Jeanne and Granny.
was already famous, but he also bowed to the skirt of Anita, a female knight. Obviously, if this continues, Anita has a bit of a posture to build this team into a women's army.
All of them are better than tigresses!
Previously.
Due to the usual style of pirates, in order to avoid trouble, they did not get too close to the coast, but they did not expect to meet the navy here.
What they don't know is that from here it is interspersed diagonally all the way to the north, and the destination is the silver island chain "Potosi".
Two navy warships flying tulip flags, one in front and one behind, came from the right front of the pirate fleet, and the two sides walked roughly in opposite directions. If they do not turn, it is very likely that two cruisers will pass in front of the fleet or meet directly head-on.
In sea voyages, the situation is no longer much different from "combat readiness".
However, before the "Golden Horn Deer" could respond, the two military cruisers chose to avoid them while choosing to avoid them, and at the same time, they humbly waved the flag: "Salute, you go first!"
When many members of the pirate fleet were confused and passed by each other, they even saw many sailors on the warship waving to them.
As the flagship, the "Golden Horned Deer" sent a flag to salute them in return.
Jasmine put down the signal flag and couldn't help but cover her chest with her hands, and her face glowed:
"Ah, Annie, what a deck. It was the first time I had received this kind of treatment in the Navy. β
Anita next to her had a starry eye in her eyes, she had been a pirate for seven or eight years, and this was also her first time, and a strong sense of pride had filled her chest.
The "Dragoon Pirate Regiment" is essentially a legal privateer fleet, with the positions of fleet commander and deputy commander, and the "Golden Horn Deer" is hoisted with the flag of the deputy commander of the fleet!
......
The southern part of the Golden Sea.
A large ship with black sails but no pirate emblems, and no size inferior to ordinary fourth-class ships.
"Teacher, the damned pirates of the dragoons are all in hiding, they haven't gone out to sea to raid again in the past few days, and we haven't been able to catch their tails. β
The black-robed young wizard approached a tall man with blue-black goblin tattoos on his bald head and whispered his defeat.
"Remember, Talen, that everything that walks through it, whether in the physical world or in the spiritual world, leaves a trace.
Since they exist in the world, even if they are shielded from the agitation of spiritual information, there is always something else to do.
You don't have to go to the main owner, it's the same with the side detour, bring people up!"
A moment later, a young man in the uniform of the Donglunzhi Company was taken to the deck by several black-clad men with wooden expressions.
"Spare me, spare me, I'll say anything!"
The bald wizard had no interest in hearing him tell him about the truth or falsehood.
larvββ
In the midst of the vicious and filthy incantation, a black sorcery aura had struck the young staff member like lightning.
In his terrible screams.
A treacherous wind blew across the ship.
The eyes, ears, nose, mouth of youth... Even the pores closed little by little, then the limbs gradually atrophied, the torso gradually expanded, and finally the skin slowly turned black and hardened, as if it had become the carapace of insects.
Click...
Ten minutes later, a living person had turned into a chrysalis standing on the ground.
But listening to the sound of his heartbeat, which was still popping, he was clearly alive, and he would live like this for a long, long time!
[Curse Technique: Human Chrysalis]: The senses are degenerated, the bones are melted, the limbs are atrophied, the skin is hardened, and finally it becomes a chrysalis that cannot move or feel the outside world, and is permanently immersed in darkness.
This is a terrifying curse technique that even people talk about in the curse school that is known for its cruelty, and it explains what it means to "survive and not die"!
The young wizards on the side couldn't help but shudder when they saw such a scene.
The bald wizard, however, seemed to have done a trivial thing, and walked up to the chrysalis and placed a fair-skinned, well-maintained hand on top of his head.
The next moment, there were already scenes of memories flowing in his heart, and they came from the soul of that Donglun branch employee.
The inconsequential information was skimmed over, and after a few minutes, the bald wizard finally found what he was looking for.
The northern part of the Golden Sea, close to the territorial waters of Pharytis.
Dotted with islands, reefs, sandbanks... The Tasman Islands, which are formed, are gradually approaching, until the last memory is only a thick white fog.
"Interesting, is it using witchcraft to shield the base camp?
Tarun informs Bradley's men that we're gathering a fleet and we're leaving!"
"Yes, Teacher!"
.......
"Phew, fortunately I was resourceful enough to save a small life. β
Falling back onto the "Storm Horn", Aven, who had regained his human form, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was already night when he returned to the "Treasure Tree Bay", and after dropping the family at the door of Gehr's room, Evan fled on the grounds that he was busy with military affairs.
And then.
On the way, he witnessed this living human tragicomedy from the perspective of seagulls.
"Change Face!", "Shocked! Thousands of Miles to Find a Husband and Become a Murderous Husband!", "Thrilling and Exciting Family Ethics Drama!", "A Wife Chases Her Husband, What Is Next to Her Children's Indifference"...
At last.
As a third-order totem warrior, Gehr was not hacked to death by his powerless wife, but he was also disgraced and almost knelt down to beg for mercy, and then he would inevitably experience a period of social death.
The family then turned to anger and joy and finally stayed in the guest room of the fortress for a while.
In the days that followed, the fighting on the front line became tight.
A brief reunion was followed by separation.
Rear Admiral House Sirik of the Kingdom of Taylor has already piloted the quasi-legendary battleship "Five-Mated Peak" to support the front line. Although it shoulders the heavy responsibility of guarding the "Treasure Tree Bay", it is guarded by alchemy artillery, and the defensive pressure is relatively not so great.
And Gehr, who has been promoted, as a surprise soldier, also went to the front line with his "Maywind", and before leaving, he experienced the gentle side of his wife again, and this matter was finally revealed.
However, after this change, the family is a little different after all.
Elantra had grown a lot and volunteered to join the war as a cadet of the Royal Naval Academy, aboard the Maywind, but Gehr did not refuse.
Auntie and Angel were not idle, joining the wounded barracks to help take care of the sick. When I heard that Brigadier General Galiot's disciples and aunts were coming, everyone from the doctor to the wounded soldier was very enthusiastic.
Compared to when the war had just begun.
At this time, the alliance side has two more third-order: Evan and Gehr, a quasi-legendary "Storm Horn".
The high-level leaders of the alliance who have this information firmly believe that with the hole cards in their hands at present, it should be no problem to delay the arrival of reinforcements in more than ten days, and start a decisive battle.
The other side.
The "Cape Storm" has gone south again, taking the initiative to meet the opponent assigned to them by the commander-in-chief, the quasi-legendary battleship "Longsnout"!
