Chapter 220: The Burning Sea

The merchant ships of the Prell-led fleet continued to sail the vast seas, and the adaptability of the two new drows was astonishing, whether it was Karloff, who quickly self-identified as an eye in the shadows, or Eleanor, who followed Shepard all day long as a self-proclaimed maid, to the surprise and incomprehension of others who had never seen the dark elves, even among adventurers and mercenaries.

Qiu Lixi may be the most responsive person to the new members, although having Drow's share makes her much easier, but whether it is the disadvantage of her size, or the attribute gap between the female Drow and the three of her, she feels frustrated, and she finally chooses to ask Shepard to teach her combat skills, and Shepard decides to teach her to use a bow and arrow after thinking about it again.

The boring voyage was made much more interesting by the addition of two women, and although the voyagers were very taboo about women on ships, except in some extremely conservative ancient areas, people everywhere else, under the power of the goddess of wealth, would never refuse to allow women to appear on ships, and it turned out that the goddess of the sea did not curse because of this, except for the inconvenience of life, because whether there were women on board or not, the old woman with a fickle temperament would take pleasure in destruction.

The currents of this season are very conducive to navigation, especially the sea in the Bay of Sword, which is surprisingly prosperous, and the large and small ships are busy in this rich and beautiful sea, like a cloud of white clouds skimming over the blue sea, or swordfish speeding on the sea.

But in such a suitable season, it is natural that there will be no ordinary merchants sailing on the sea.

"Captain! Find out what's going on! The loud voice of the lookout echoed over the entire deck, making many sailors who were drowsy in the warm sunlight shudder.

The stern-faced captain looked up at the position of the lookout, and followed the direction he had directed, stretched out the nautical telescope he had bought for a large amount of money from the Alchemist's Hut, and pressed it to his eye socket to observe it carefully.

After a while, the captain put down his binoculars and shouted: "Everyone be ready for battle!" The first mate and the sailor shouted to the order, urging everyone to get to their place, and the captain looked down at Shepard and the others who came out of the cabin after hearing the news, and said with a serious expression: "My lords, there is a ship on fire ahead, it may be a pirate." ”

Shepard frowned, "Pirates? How far is it going? ”

The captain thought for a moment, "Ten minutes at most, we will be close there, Lord Earl, please rest assured, the Crow has eight cannons on board, and her armor is very strong, ordinary pirates are no match for my good boys." ”

The crow is the name of the ship, although the ship and the crew on it belong to the Prell family, in fact, it is only a new ship that has been purchased for less than a year, although the captain is a veteran who has been hired for a lot of money, but whether it can fight the pirates, is still unknown.

Fortunately, there are Shepard and others, unless the pirates can summon the sea monster to destroy the ship, even if several pirate leaders in the City of Thousand Sails appear, they can't resist the Black Crow approaching the rear side battle, and the most feared side melee of ordinary merchant ships is the strongest point of the Black Crow.

Time passed by with the sound of the merchant ship breaking water, and the sound of the splashing waves was so clear at the moment that the older sailors were silent about what was at hand, while the younger ones were nervously grasping at the ropes or the boats, looking up or looking around uneasily.

The billowing smoke became clear in the field of vision, two ships close to each other were anchored on the surface of the sea, one of them bursting out of the windows and deck, and the remnants of the smoke were clearly not the testimony of friendly exchanges.

"It's a pirate!" The sharp-eyed crew saw the assailants who had dumped the bodies of the sailors in the sea by the side of the ship and immediately cried out.

"It looks like there are no survivors on that ship...... The pirates will not leave prisoners behind. The captain walked up to Shepard and sighed, and said with an inquiry, "My lord, are we?" ”

Shepard smiled faintly: "Rush up, catch them off guard, you are the captain and you will command." ”

"Yes!" The captain said happily, and then he rushed up the steps next to the steering wheel, drew his long knife, and shouted, "Full speed!" Kill them all! ”

Shepard suddenly shouted in a loud voice, "Kill a pirate and reward a silver coin!" Half of the loot will be given to you! ”

The visible benefits were better than any morale-boosting means, and the sailors immediately became imposing, roaring and rushing towards the pirate ship with a roar.

The pirates were enjoying the moment of pleasure after the killing, and a moment of laxity brought them to their misfortune, and the seemingly ordinary merchant ship rushed up so decisively.

The merchant ships were unreasonable and insisted on the pirate ships, without the slightest intention of shelling them from a distance, and entered the white-knuckle battle when they came up, and the pirates who were originally fully prepared were puffed up, and then laughed, roaring foul language, and brandishing weapons to make these ignorant fellows pay for their stupidity with their lives.

Shepard and the three knights and two drows jumped out after the merchant ship and the pirate ship were close together, the slightly higher height of the ship than the pirate ship gave them a positional advantage, although the battle at sea was different from that on land, but the white-bladed fight was no different before the huge difference in attributes.

Shepard wielded his two-handed sword to block the invincible, no matter who stood in front of him, a sword was split in half, and the knights behind him were equally imposing, and the light and agile drow were even more unpredictable, easily harvesting the names of the pirates who were no more than intermediate professionals.

"Damn it, damn it! You XXXXXXXXXXXX! I'm going to put your XXXXXXX! Piercing foul language gushed out from the mouth of the pirate captain who had been laughing, and seeing that the ordinary pirates were killed like chopping melons and vegetables, and even his boatswain, who was as strong as a black bear, was split into four pieces, although the pirate captain was also afraid, but his anger made him rush towards Shepard without hesitation.

Henry Drake, who was still on the merchant ship, stretched out his head, this wandering intermediate mage was no longer the downfall of the past, he was wearing the intermediate magic robe that Shepard had taken off from the mage Keqing of the Salibotta family when he was in the Eastern Route Army, although it was only enchanted with a low-level enchanted item such as cleansing, but it was also a rare thing.

Henry pointed his finger at the angry pirate captain, the magic light of [Fear Technique] lit up, and the old pirate with a red face with anger suddenly turned pale, looking at Shepard as if he had seen a troll in deep water, and knelt on the ground with a thud, but Shepard had no intention of stopping, and the Karloff scimitar that followed up swung out, slitting the pirate's throat lightly.
