Chapter 85: The Joker

"Captain Goodman, how long will it take to get to the Emerald City?" Today, as soon as it was dawn, Morey found Goodman.

For a man who has grown up on land for a long time, this short period of three or four days of life at sea has dispelled all his curiosity about the sea, and he can't wait to leave the bumpy sea and set foot on solid land.

"Haha, Lord Morey, don't worry, I promise that I can let you drink in the tavern of Emerald City tonight!" Goodman's eyes flickered, and he replied with a smile, apparently thinking of something inappropriate for children.

Morey didn't bother to explain, and turned his gaze back to the misty sea and sky.

"Toot toot!" The whistle on the mast sounded suddenly, and it was a warning from the lookout.

"An unidentified ship ahead is rapidly approaching!"

As soon as the words fell, a black dot jumped into Morey's sight, and before Morey could take a closer look, the outline of a sea ship appeared in front of everyone's eyes in the blink of an eye.

"Combat readiness!"

Morey ordered to go down, and at this time period, such a merchant ship suddenly appeared that was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and Morey instinctively chose to be vigilant.

"They're on guard, tsk, they're alert!" The old blind man put down the brass monoculars in his hand and smashed his mouth with a little disappointment.

"It's not a big deal, I didn't plan to go over quietly." Thornton wasn't surprised.

If the fleet, which had just gone through a bitter battle, had no defense against such an unflagged ship, the pirates who had lost to them would have been wronged.

The message of the Exocet's vigilance was instantly transmitted to all the ships of the fleet behind it, and all the ships, including Calvin, were on guard, and a small loss of face was nothing in the matter of their own lives.

A ten-foot-tall wind djinn slowly floated down from the mast and half-crouched in front of Thornton.

"Master!"

"You're doing well, go back!"

Looking at the wind djinn who was included in the [Demon Hunting Bottle] by Thornton, the old blind eye was full of envy.

This creature that can both fly and become invisible, and can even change its own size, is the perfect scout.

"Master Thornton, it's time to show your hole cards!" Looking at the huge fleet of more than fifty warships in the distance (including the captured pirate ships), even as the leader of the "Blood Scorpion", who has always been good at winning more with less, the old blind eye trembled slightly.

Even though both sides tacitly reduced the speed of the ship, the distance between the two was still continuously reduced by the combined action of inertia and undercurrents on the seabed.

Seeing the Flying Fish getting closer and closer, Thornton took out a horn made of a huge conch from the spatial ring with an expressionless face and blew it.

......The low sound of the horn pierced the silence of the morning, and the birds that were about to land were so frightened that they did not dare to fall, and the sailors on the deck also felt that something was pressing on their hearts made them uneasy, and the fish under the surface of the water were even more restless and swam around as if they were about to be in trouble.

Finally, a large shadow passed under the Golden Grail, like a huge school of migratory fish, and rushed towards the Emerald City fleet.

Huge "black carpets" erupted in clouds of blood, like a giant shadow bat and demon fish hunting.

"What's that?!" Looking at the unknown creatures that swooped over like a fungus blanket, Morey's face couldn't help but be a little ugly.

"Yes, it's a shark man!" There seems to be infinite terror in Goodman's words.

"Shark Man?" Morey looked again and found that the humanoid's dorsal fin was exactly the same as the shark-man named Shakun he had killed.

It took a lot of effort to kill that Shakun by himself, even if these shark people are not as good as him, this number of thousands of shark people is not something that the current Emerald City fleet can kill in a short time.

"Master Thornton, what's your horn?" The old blind eye has some guesses but can't be sure.

"Exactly what you think, this is the Shark Man Horn." Thornton doesn't hide that for these underground organizations that are good at eating black, a proper display of strength will make them more dedicated and cooperative.

Thornton is really involved with Amberley's church! The old blind man finally confirmed the guess in his heart.

Only this church can get the [Shark Man Horn] to control the shark people, and if it weren't for the deep cooperation relationship, it would not be possible to have this treatment.

The sheer number of shark-men soon surrounded all the ships, and there were more than a hundred shark-men under each ship, and the mere hearing them slap the cabin with their tail fins had already made the sailors who had experienced the fish-man scuttling the ship turn pale.

In just an instant, Thornton, who originally had only one sea ship, completed the encirclement of more than fifty Emerald City fleets.

The sails of all the ships were lowered, and the shark people did not make any further movements, as if an invisible hand was directing these bloodthirsty and crazy shark people.

Seeing all the ships being stopped by the shark people, Thornton finally smiled for the first time.

Thornton. Decomin is the son of a respected senior executive in the head office of the gold coin auction house, but his real identity is that of Dela. Isgir, the illegitimate son of Lord Shangjin, is also an important participant and promoter of this plan to snipe the Emerald City.

If all goes well and Delia loses the resources of the Emerald City and is impeached and disqualified, then his mother will use this credit to nominate Thornton as the bishop of the pastoral side.

Unfortunately, when Field broke free from them to open the Goddess Temple's barrier protection, Thornton knew that things might be going in a direction he didn't want to see.

Sure enough, when Delia's Waujin fleet teleported directly to the square in front of the Goddess Temple, this speculation became true.

Now it can be said that the plan to "expel Delia from control of the Temple of the Emerald City of Workin" has failed, and the confrontation between the two sides is now more of a bargain, in this case, there is a question mark over how much or even whether Thornton's credit can be counted.

If a victorious fleet was released into Emerald City at this time, Thornton couldn't imagine whether his irascible mother would be angry and kill herself directly after learning the news.

Therefore, this Morey and this Emerald City fleet must all be destroyed here, so that the pension alone can give Delia a headache.

If he unleashed some more specious rumors and organized those orphans and widows, then the credibility of the Emerald City would suffer a heavy blow.

If there is no reputation of those merchants, then the natural livelihood of the Emerald City will wither, and the trade will not be connected, and it will not be rewarded by the goddess, even if Di Liya keeps her position in gold this time? ! A Shangjin without the patronage of the goddess must be someone no one wants to follow.

At that time, Della may be able to go to the next level, and her status will naturally rise.

This is the plan that Thornton instantly formed in his mind after hearing the news of the destruction of the pirate fleet again, although Thornton is not strong, but his brain is flexible, which is why he can become the only surviving heir of Dela.

"Who among you is Morey?!"

Thornton's voice was instantly transmitted to all the ships of the Emerald City fleet through [amplification].

Everyone looked at each other, this person actually came to find Morey? Do they have a grudge against each other?

But they didn't dare to ask more, and the large shark people were at their feet, which made them sit on pins and needles and dare not move.

Thornton said a word, and the sea suddenly became quiet, and even the subtle grinding sound of the shark man's dorsal fins scraping against each other seemed to be clearly audible.

Thornton looked at the silent Emerald City fleet with satisfaction, and was able to stop the army with a word, this is the treatment that only the world's famous generals have, I didn't expect that I still have such talent!

"Hehe, can't you imagine that the eldest young master of the Faist family doesn't even have the courage to admit it?" But after a sentence, Morey didn't react, and Thornton immediately used the agitation method.

"Uh-huh, hey, can you hear me? Oh ok, thanks! Hello everyone, welcome everyone, well, no......"

Looking at Balta, who almost turned into a spit frog, and the red-faced people beside him, Morey was somewhat embarrassed. When I got the microphone just now, no, it was the amplification stone, because of the conditioned reflex, I was excited and almost turned the serious shouting in front of the battle into an entertainment program, but fortunately he reacted in time and did not become the first naval commander to kill his own soldiers.

But even more embarrassed than him was Thornton, and not only was he embarrassed, his face was almost black.

Although Morey's nonsensical words just now were not logical, he broke the solemn atmosphere he had created, not listening to the occasional laughter and scolding in the Emerald City fleet, there were many "blood scorpion" mercenaries on his own ship laughing uncontrollably, learning from each other, and living a cheap stage play.

This made Thornton, who had just shouted seriously and seriously, suddenly become a clown who everyone laughed and scolded on the stage.

"This bastard did it on purpose!" Thornton's right hand unconsciously exerted force, and the nails slammed into his palm, but until the blood dripped onto the deck, the young master Thornton still didn't seem to notice.

It's been a long time since he'd been humiliated in public for years, and he hadn't felt it for a long time since he was eight years old when he pushed the older kid who bullied him into a dry well and smashed him to death.

"You must die!" Thornton swore secretly.

"That, I'm Morey, who are you!" It was easy to catch the free time when everyone finished laughing, and Morey picked up the conversation from the previous paragraph.

"Baron Morey is very good, but now that you are surrounded by my shark people, it is useless to let your teeth be sharp. If you can get out of the crime of self-murder, I will let the rest of you live. Otherwise, the stomach pouch of these shark people under the ship is your final burial place! Thornton had wanted to enjoy the thrill of torturing his trapped prey, but now he wanted Morey to die as soon as possible.
