Chapter 590: Hiding from the Sky (I.)

After listening to Helena's story, Roland had to admire the pirate admiral's scheming and viciousness. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info If it weren't for Helena's defection, Eagle Island might not be able to hold it, if the news of the fall of Eagle Island reached Baiou Harbor, even if the Yangbo sisters knew that this was Maximian's trick to lure the enemy, they could only lead the fleet out of the port to rescue, and then they would be ambushed by Maximian's fleet, only from the tonnage comparison of the two fleets, the Yangbo family had little chance of winning this naval battle.

"At the same time that the Canglong, the White Shark and the Tiger Shark attacked Eagle Island, Maximian's main fleet had already sailed into the North Bay, and a general attack would be launched in three or five days, so from now on we must determine a countermeasure." Helena said unhurriedly.

Roland thought for a moment and looked up into her eyes: "Helena, you haven't been exposed yet, if you still keep in touch with Maximian as the commander of the detachment, how sure are you that you can deceive him?" ”

"It depends on whether he receives news of the defeat of the detachment." Helena replied cautiously, "If he receives the news, everything is not tied, if he still does not know what is happening here, then I am absolutely sure that I have deceived him!" ”

"Allow me to interject, Miss Helena, the White Dragon Hundinspana and the Chaos Butcher Holuz have been ambushed, and if Maximian takes the initiative to contact them, won't your lies be exposed immediately?" Zehir questioned.

Helena smiled, "You don't know Maximian, he is a pretentious person, he has always been proud of his strategy, and he hates to deal with simple-minded people the most, Hundin Spana and Holuz are the kind of people who are confused and moody, Maximian looks down on them in his heart, and he ignores their opinions when he usually holds combat meetings, this time he sent Hundin Bana and Holuz to follow me to attack Eagle Island, just to kick these two eyesore guys away, so he will not take the initiative to communicate with these two." ”

"What if he uses his probing to see the real and the false?" Zehir then asked.

"I can use illusion to create a false vision to make him think that Hundinspana and Holuz are still alive, and if you and your father are acting with me, then I can create a perfect drama that will convince Maximian that I am in control of the Isle of the Eagles, and convince the Edric family to provide his main fleet with the Giant Eagle to supplement the carrier-based aviation." Helena seems to have changed as a different person, and her every move exudes confidence, "By the way, I have been active as a theater actor in Baigugang for many years, probably because of the environment, in addition to the job of acting, I also have a lot of experience in writing scripts and setting up stage sets. ”

"But all this is premised on the fact that the news has not leaked out." Roland frowned, "I just received a message from Nikita and Sir Adric in the form of a 'telepathic connection', the Canglong ship has been controlled by our army, the communication blockade can be guaranteed, the White Shark ship has been sunk, most of the pirates on the ship have been killed, and the survivors have also become prisoners, don't worry about them talking nonsense, and finally there is a 'Tiger Shark', the first mate O'sin assassinated the captain of the ship, Margorlov, and led all the human sailors to surrender to Sir Edric...... The problem now is with the Tiger Shark, and I'm worried that the captain has sent the news to Maximian. ”

"If you're going to confirm that, then I'd suggest you talk to Osin." Helena said slowly, "This person is the spiritual leader of all the human sailors of the 'Tiger Shark', and the Shahua fish-man pirates led by Captain Magorlov have always been in harmony, and there are constant conflicts in private, since he chooses to surrender, there is no way out, but to surrender to us with all his heart, you can get answers from his mouth about the 'Tiger Shark'." ”

……

"You may be seated, Mr. Osin, and allow me to give you a brief introduction, in Lower Roland Kolas, a traveler from the Southern Province, and this gentleman beside me is no stranger to you—Sir Freman Edric, Lord of the Isle of Eagles." Roland smiled, his eyes flashing with an imperceptible strangeness, and he looked through the "pupil of fate" at the slightly cramped pirate leader opposite.

Alfred Orsin had a large beard, appeared more mature than his age, was of medium stature but had exceptionally slender hands and feet, and his piercing gaze was reminiscent of a falcon. Compared to these physical characteristics, Roland was more impressed by his extraordinary profession - a level 9 wandering swordsman.

The "Wandering Swordsman" is a special martial arts inheritance, its professional characteristics are both warriors and thieves, with melee ability not inferior to that of warriors, but also to master the agility and flexible mind comparable to thieves, the clever wandering swordsman can rely on his own wisdom to instantly detect the opponent's flaws, in the lightning and stone fire to attack its vital point of the kill, from the perspective of combat style and assassin also has similarities.

Long before the advent of sail battleships, the purpose of classical naval warfare was usually not to sink enemy ships, but to rob ships and their cargo, so cannons mainly played a role in naval warfare to intimidate, and white-knuckle combat after the broadside was the key to victory.

If the two sides are evenly matched and do not want to fight to the end, the captain will propose a temporary truce to settle the dispute in a more civilized and chivalrous way, the so-called "duel gamble".

Each side sends a master swordsman, in the presence of the crews of both sides, and the losing side of the duel admits defeat and surrenders the goods or money to the winning side. Before large-caliber naval guns were widely used in naval warfare, this kind of bloody and elegant gambling was very popular at sea, so to this day, most of the Japanese warships still retain a so-called "swordsmanship instructor" position, usually training sailors in white-knuckle combat, and in duels, they represent the ship to come forward and fight against the enemy's swordsmanship.

The "Wandering Swordsman" is very suitable for fighting enemies on the violently bumpy deck, so most of the swordsmanship instructors of famous warships throughout the ages are high-level wandering swordsmen, who are highly respected in the sailor class, and their martial arts have been passed down from generation to generation.

Maximian, Admiral of the Giant Demon Island, was a famous wandering swordsman before he defected to the Kraken, and Alfred Osin was also from the same school, first serving as a swordsmanship instructor on the Tiger Shark ship, and was widely loved by human sailors for his outstanding swordsmanship and leadership skills, accumulating combat achievements and rising to the rank of first mate.

However, Osin's career ended here, as long as Margorolf, the black guard of Sawa was still the captain of the "Tiger Shark", the human seafarers on the ship could only be in the position of being oppressed by the Sawa Fishman, and his first mate was just a decoration, and Margorolv never concealed his contempt.
