Chapter 25: The Storm Comes

The sky had only cleared for a day.

The next day it was dark again, and it looked like it was going to rain again.

Sauron stood on the mast of the Dead Whisperer, staring at the waves ahead, and on the side of the ghost ship was a large black shadow, which was now rising and falling in the waves, and only a phantom could be seen. He silently stared ahead, as if waiting for something, Sauron had always been a very patient person, so he waited very calmly, only occasionally looking up at the sky.

Thundered!

A thunderclap streaked across the sky.

With the sound of thunder, drops of rain fell, which at first were just light rain but soon turned into a torrential rain.

"Deep Sea Diving!"

The corners of Sauron's mouth finally showed a smile, but it was cold and cruel, and with a gentle wave of his hand, the undrowned undead on the deck began to move quickly, and in the strange whispers of the ghost kraken, the undead began to descend, and the whole ship gradually sank to the bottom of the sea. The water rushed towards the deck, and Sauron landed at the rudder, then let the water flood from all sides completely submerge him. The water poured into the hull, Sauron's hair scattered with the water, and as the Dead Whisperer finally sank to the bottom, he glanced up at the sky, where the wind and waves were even stronger, and a terrifying flash of lightning streaked across the sky.

Thundered!

The storm shrouded the sea, and thunder swept across the sky, as if the storm had only stopped for a while, and it was just beginning.

The sea is rough, but the bottom of the sea is calm.

The darkness of the deep sea could not obstruct Sauron's vision, and the Dead Whisperer was diving hundreds of meters under the sea, calculating the enemy's position, and he had gathered a lot of intel before setting off.

With his current reputation as the Pirate King of the South Coast, the Thieves' Guild would rather offend the Southern Islands than him.

"300 meters ascent!"

Sauron looked around, and a reef appeared in front of him, along with schools of fish. However, due to the energy of death, they are almost reluctant to go near the Dead Whisperer. Mutant killer whales escort all around, and although the north coast is not as dangerous as the south coast, there are some deep-sea monsters, and these deep-sea monsters don't seem to pay much attention to the blessings of the goddess of the sea. There is no way to do this, there are other gods in this world who are involved in the sea domain, for example, the gods believed in by the Viku people are involved in the sea domain from the pirate domain.

The Viku people believe in a barbarian god.

He is probably the only deity of the 'Pirate Priesthood', but one of his priesthoods is the 'Pirate God of Veku', and few other pirates believe in him.

This priesthood was born because the Viku people were born pirates. Raiding other merchant ships for a living.

"Climb 100 meters!"

Sauron looked at his surroundings and observed the movement on the surface of the sea, and after rising to a height where he could faintly see the surface of the sea, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Summoning the mist!" ”

"The undead of the undrowned scuttle their warship!"

In the dark waters.

A group of hideous-looking undrowned spirits appeared, slowly swimming up with ship-digging tools, and gradually approaching the surface of the sea.

………………

Thundered!

A thunderbolt streaked across the sky, and the wind and waves shook the ship.

"Damn it!"

A middle-aged man in a navy suit cursed, then grabbed a corner of the ship's hull. shouted: "All work hard!" When we get back to the port, I'll treat you to a drink! ……”

"It's damn weather."

"I said that the storm will not end so soon, and there is no need to send us out on patrol in this weather."

A wave hit.

The hull of the battleship shook a little, and the sea rushed to the deck. A naval sailor was knocked unsteady on the barrel, but he was not seriously injured, but he frowned and trembled in pain.

"Where's the Nanhai?"

The middle-aged man looked around, not knowing when the fog had actually formed around him. He couldn't help but curse again: "What the hell! You can still dance in the storm! ”

"Someone."

"Light up the torches and don't get separated from the escorting fleet."

Very eerie weather.

It stands to reason that fog cannot occur in such a storm. Therefore, the middle-aged officer, who has been adrift at sea all the year round, intuitively found that it was not good, and shouted: "Be vigilant all!" There's something weird about this fog! I don't know what kind of sea monster we've encountered! ”

"Ah!!h As soon as he finished speaking, one of the sailors screamed in fright.

Hearing his voice, the others were immediately frightened, and the middle-aged officer immediately shouted, "What's the ghost called?" What do you see? ”

Rumble!

The hull of the ship shook suddenly, and many of the people on deck fell unsteadily, and one sailor almost fell from the ship to the sea with a stroke of his foot, but fortunately his feet were entangled in a cable.

"Black ...... Shadow! ……”

The sailor who shouted at the beginning was full of horror and said, "What a big black shadow! …… Bigger than a boat! …… At! …… Underneath the water! …… I don't see what it is! …… But there's something under the sea! ……”

The middle-aged officer heard a sigh in his heart, and his expression became a little frightened, and he muttered, "You won't be lucky enough to really meet a sea monster, right?" ”

Thundered!

The hull shook again.

At this moment, everyone saw that there was indeed a huge black shadow wandering in the fog, and the hull of the ship shook because it had been struck by it.

"Nope! …… Oh no! ……”

Another exclamation rang out, and a soaking wet sailor ran out and shouted, "Cabin! …… There is water under the cabin! ……”

Thundered!

The ship shook again, and a sailor was thrown directly into the sea with a scream, and before he could let out a terrible wail, he disappeared directly into the rolling waves.

Airplanes!

Thundered!

The storm seemed to get bigger, and the ship was still bobbing and swaying in the waves, making it look like a small ship that could capsize and sink at any moment.

Click!

There was a sound of the keel breaking from the hull of the ship, and then I saw the battleship shake violently, and finally flipped directly in a huge wave, sinking to the bottom of the sea little by little.

On the sea.

Sharp bone spurs emerged, and huge black shadows wandered in the seawater, and a vague shadow of a black battleship could be seen in the sea.

"Help! ……”

"Help! ……”

"Who's going to save me! ……”

The sunken battleship did not kill these naval sailors immediately, in fact, many of them were low-level professionals, and their tenacious vitality allowed them to swim up after sinking into the sea, but at this time, black cables flew out of the sea, and the black hull of the submarine became clearer and clearer, and one by one the cables entwined those sailors who fell into the sea, and then dragged them deeper into the sea. Faintly, a number of seaweed-like humanoid monsters appeared nearby, smiling and pounced, mercilessly slaughtering the fish that had slipped through the net.

………………

Dragonbone Island.

This is an island occupied by Viku pirates, and it is said that dragons were once buried here, so it is called Dragonbone Island.

The island is not very large, probably not the size of Viper Island, but it has a semi-natural harbor that is blocked by the howling sea breeze because of a steep mountain wall. There is a lighthouse built on this island, and basically any port city will have an iconic lighthouse, which can guide the ships sailing. In some places, lighthouses can even guide ships to avoid reefs, greatly improving the safety of the fleet at night.

"Why haven't they come back yet?"

Above the lighthouse, a young man dressed as a standard nobleman looked into the distance with a frown, and said in a deep voice, "According to the time, they should have come back a long time ago." ”

Thundered.

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.

Lightning lit up the sea in the distance, and you could see that the waves on the surface of the sea were getting bigger and bigger.

"Your Royal Highness."

Behind the young man was a white-bearded old man, dressed in a delicate robe, and said in a deep voice, "I haven't come back in this case, I'm afraid they are in some trouble!" ”

Prince Hans's expression suddenly became ugly when he heard this, and he said with a blushing face: "A standard patrol fleet, a large warship, and three frigate warships. Even if you are in trouble, how can you not come back? Could it be that Arendelle's fleet attacked them? ”

"That's not right!"

"We only teamed up with Viku pirates last time to inflict heavy damage on Arendelle's navy, and I'm afraid they don't even have the ability to go to sea now."

It was a battle he was extremely proud of.

First, let the Viku pirates attract the attention of Arendelle's navy, making them think that they are just pirates coming out to raid, and then swaggering to mobilize the fleet to deal with these Viku pirates. But what they didn't expect was that near Dragon Bone Island, they also encountered the main navy of the southern island nation, that is, the fleet led by Prince Hans.

Needless to say, the outcome of the battle was almost entirely annihilated by Arendelle's navy in the face of nearly twice the number of enemies on his side.

Arendelle was so badly battered that it was almost impossible to reassemble a fleet and go to sea.

Near the port.

As wave after wave, a broken deck drifted to the edge of the harbor, and the nearby defenders seemed to have spotted it, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

There were more pieces of wood nearby, and the waves washed them nearby.

Thundered!

Another flash of lightning streaked across the sky.

Under the dark clouds, the waves on the sea were even more amazing, and in the deep night, it seemed that a terrible monster was silently watching the island, waiting to swallow it at any time.
