Compared to the chaotic situation in the town, the port area of Azur Harbor was still occupied by the main army of Redbeard Jackson, but it was very peaceful because there had been no fighting for a long time.

Waves showing signs of high tide were pushed to the shore by the dark tide surging from the deep sea, and kept crashing against the artificial stone embankment of the harbor, smashing several pirate ships docked at the harbor to the point of shaking slightly.

The notorious pirate captain Redbeard Jackson and the vampire baron named Cilrivers had long since returned to the cabin from the bow deck, and the main force of the pirates had completely occupied the port area, and the pirates patrolling and standing guard everywhere around the harbor were so visible that Finn, Lilith, Arya, Arroyo, and Raymond were stared at by countless pairs of eyes as soon as they approached the port area.

Arya's wounded and dislocated arm had been healed by Finn for the second time of the day before departure, and the witcher girl was ready to fight alongside her companions, but the pirates in the port area showed no hostility towards Finn and his party.

The reason for this is that Finn, Arroyo, and Raymond were wearing costumes that had been plucked from the pirate's corpse, while Lilith and Arya were pretending to be captives, and Arroyo and Raymond were pacing behind Finn with their hands tied with ropes.

With a pirate cutlass in his waist and the same wooden staff that Mogordo had used in his lifetime, Finn led the four men behind him to a black sailing ship docked by the harbor.

The black sails, the white one-eyed skull logo, and the huge and imposing hull like a giant dragon tortoise...... Finn looked up at the large three-masted schooner in his field of vision, remembering that it was Redbeard Jackson's favorite ship.

In the war in his previous life, Ghost Captain Jackson always stood on the deck of this black sail ship and commanded the undead navy to destroy the various sea supply points of the human alliance on the course of the St. Fren Sea.

During that time, the sea supply lines of the human kingdom's armies in the areas around the coastline were ruthlessly cut off by the undead navy commanded by Jackson, and this was one of the reasons why the human alliance was unilaterally suppressed by the Dark Alliance and the Demon Shepherd in the early stages of the Demon Tide War.

"Stop."

When Finn and the four men behind him came to the embankment where the Black Sail Battleship docked, and was about to step on the pedal to the deck of the big ship, a pirate who had been guarding the pedal for a long time in a turban suddenly raised his hand and signaled Finn and his party to stop their progress.

The crowd stopped in front of the pirate at the signal of the pirate's raised hand, and the bandanaled pirate looked at Finn, Arroyo, and Raymond with a few suspicious glances, and then frowned slightly, feeling that he was not very familiar with the three people in front of him.

"It's like a new face I've never seen before......"

The bandanaled pirate tilted his head and looked at the three of them and muttered softly, then looked at Finn, who was standing at the front, and asked, "You three, new here?" ”

"Hmm." Finn glanced back at the four behind him, then looked at the pirate and nodded.

"Who are these two women?" The hijab-clad pirate lifted his finger and pointed at Lilith and Arya.

"The two of them have the potential to cast spells, and they are the ones the captain wants." Finn replied, "This is Lord Mogordo's wooden staff, and Lord Mogordo has asked us to bring people back with his token." ”

As he spoke, the young paladin disguised as a pirate handed the wooden staff he held in his hand to the turban pirate.

The hijab squinted at the wooden staff with the name of Mogordo and a skell icon representing the gang of pirates from the Misty Islands, and the bandana squinted at the wooden staff that Finn handed him, then threw the wooden staff back into Fin's hand and continued to ask, "What about Lord Mogordo himself?" Where is he now? ”

"There's something wrong with the town, and Lord Mogordo stays there to direct the rest of the brothers." Finn arranged the pre-organized sentences in his mind, and then said to the turban pirate in front of him, "If you can, Lord Mogodor asks the captain to send two or three troops from the port area to support him, because out of nowhere has a cavalry team of Blue Harbor been killed in the town. ”

"You say the cavalry?" The bandanaved pirate was stunned for a moment.

Apparently, he had expected that the pirates who had invaded the town would only have to deal with the vast majority of unarmed civilians, as well as a handful of patrol guards and idlers with a slight ability to resist.

As for the cavalry?

What's that? When did it come out of nowhere?

Realizing that the Captain's projected plan seemed to be drifting in a somewhat off-the-beaten-path direction, the hijab-clad pirate had a bad feeling at Finn's words

As a result, his expression became serious and vigilant, and he stared into Finn's eyes and asked, "Are you sure you're not lying to me?" ”

"I'm not lying, the information I just reported to you is true." Finn looked back at the other party, making his expression as natural as possible, "That cavalry team is very strong in combat, and it is not at all in the same strength level as those guards on the patrol. It is for this reason that the brothers on the other side of the town are entangled by the cavalry team and cannot come back, and Lord Mogodo hopes that the port side can send some more men to help the brothers in the town. ”

"Really......"

The bandanaled pirate pinched his chin and nodded, then made a decision in his heart, looked up at everyone again, looked at Finn and said, "If what you said is true, then these two women must be brought to the captain for personal inspection, and the information you bring back must also be reported to the captain as soon as possible." ”

He then hooked his fingers at Finn, Arroyo, and Raymond and said "Follow me", then briefly explained to the other pirates around him, and then turned and stepped on the ramp that led to the deck of the Blacksail.

When Finn saw that the hijab-clad pirate seemed to be about to take them to Jackson the Redbeard, he felt a sense of joy at the success of his first step.

Then, as long as the hijab-clad pirate brought the five of them aboard, the rest would be much easier.

Suddenly, just as Finn was secretly rejoicing in the success of the first step of the plan, the pirate who had stepped onto the pedal with his back to him suddenly stopped and froze in place.

"Wait......" The pirate looked back at the group, a scrutinizing gaze in his eyes again.

Finn was stared at by the pirate, and his newly lowered heart suddenly hung nervously in his chest.

Why didn't that pirate continue to lead the way? - The young paladin appeared to be relatively calm on the surface, but in his heart he couldn't help but be surprised.

In his plan, the cavalry team led by Konush and Duke would buy him time in the town, and his mission was to lead an elite squad to infiltrate Redbeard Jackson's ship and kill the damned pirate captain directly.

This is a tactical strategy to capture the thief first, and whether this plan can be successfully completed depends not only on the containment effect of Konush and Duke on the town side, but also on the elite team on Finn's side.

But now, why didn't the pirate with the turban on his head move?

Could it be ......

Is he suspicious of himself?

"It's not good...... Thinking of this possibility, Finn immediately cursed in his heart.

For a moment, the young paladin subconsciously held his breath, and quietly touched his hand into the empty pocket hidden on the inside of his clothes, and a drop of cold sweat almost slipped from the corner of his forehead.

He was now afraid of an accident.

That accident was the disguise of him, Arroyo, and Raymond, and it was a fact that none of them noticed that they had ever noticed......
