CH.325 Reunion in the Wind (I)
"Don't be too simple when you come out of the sword, you should think about it comprehensively, stab out with a sword, attack with defense, defend with attack, and make use of the sword body, sword blade and gauntlet." Donk taught calmly and exemplified. When the opponent stabbed with a sword, he blocked it with his gauntlet, slid the momentum, and stuck the opponent's sword with the ball at the end of the hilt, blocking the opponent's movement, and then stabbed it with a sword.
The elite-level dumb beast glanced at the tip of the sword in front of its neck and nodded in submission. It cannot speak, but it can sense the meaning of its owner's heart.
"Good. You get the idea, right? Donk turned his head to look to the side. There are several rookies from the pirate group standing there, all of whom are not bad, and they can become qualified first-order swordsmen with a little training.
Everyone nodded in understanding.
"Whew! Oh! The ghost-brained beast hatched from Clyde's corpse stepped forward, expressing its desire to ask Donk for advice.
Tang Ke smiled, although the strength of this ghost-brained demonic beast is low, but the surname of Wu is very high, and he can often memorize the sword moves after looking at it once. He got up and pinched his waist with one hand, pointing his sword at the ground.
The Ghost Brain Demon Beast rushed forward and stabbed out with a sword, and its body was like a cloud of black smoke. Donk repeated his old trick and jammed his opponent's sword with a hilt ball. The ghost-brained beast's eyes flashed, and it swung Tang Ke's sword aside with all his might, and at the same time raised his foot and kicked violently, taking advantage of his long and narrow limbs.
Tang Ke's strength was hundreds of times higher than this demonic beast, and it was very easy for him to win, but he was now a teaching demonstration, of course, he couldn't use sword qi, and he could only deal with it with simple sword skills. He flashed that kick, rushed forward, reversed the blade of the sword in his hand, smashed the door of the demon brain demon beast with the hilt of the sword, and then paused in mid-air.
The Devil's Brain Beast looked at the hilt of the sword in front of him and opened its fanged mouth wide.
"Every part of the sword is extremely useful, and sometimes the hilt can be a weapon as well. In that case, a direct attack with the hilt of the sword would be faster than a swing. Tang Ke slowly retracted the blade of the sword and took two steps back, "If a swordsman wants to become familiar with every part of the sword, he must spend time with the sword in his hand until the sword becomes a part of his body. ”
Everyone showed thoughtful expressions, reminiscing about these words and the moment of confrontation just now.
Then, as usual, Donk asked everyone to catch the right practice, while he watched and pointed. He has already mastered the sword, and it is natural for him to teach these newcomers. These newcomers also adore him very much.
During his days in Magnolia Harbor, Donk would take time out of his day to teach not only swordsmanship, but also the helmsman and captain in sailing.
Even though the daily schedule is full, Donk still misses Elizabeth a lot. As the so-called little Biesheng is newly married, he has been separated from Elizabeth for a long time.
Because of the delay in the battle of Little Pirate City, he could not reach Magnolia Harbor until the end of this month, and by then, Elizabeth might have been in a hurry. He really wanted to have wings and fly straight to Magnolia Harbor and hug Elizabeth.
Among several lovers, Donk has the deepest affection for Elizabeth.
"Commander, the Iron Anchor Harbor has arrived!" The lookout in the high place shouted in a hoarse voice.
Before arriving at Magnolia Harbor, the fleet will run out of food and water, so you must find a port to resupply. And Iron Anchor is a pirate port, so you can find out some news. Donk wanted to know how the little pirate city had reacted after the battle.
After docking into the port, it was already evening, and the seashore was plated with a layer of orange.
Donk found that it was much more deserted than expected, with only thirty or so ships parked on the docks, and only two of them had pirate flags flying above them, and the rest of the ships were very low-key.
"The matter of the little pirate city must have reached here." Tang Ke said with a strained face, his voice slightly suppressed.
Every time a port is attacked, the news will be written on the letter as soon as possible, and then the message eagle will take the letter out. So the news from the sea still spread very quickly.
With a noisy Norman and an ear who had just finished drawing, the three of them found one of the largest taverns in the area. As soon as they entered, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the tavern.
"I think I've seen this face in the newspaper...... Could it be Captain Donk? A quick drunk called out first. The words immediately caused a great stir, and people rose from their seats and stared at Donk in surprise.
"I'm the leader of the Dragon Pirates, Donk, I'm here today just to have a drink and chat, you don't have to be nervous." Donk looked around the room indifferently, then found a seat in the middle and sat down with two of his men.
As soon as Norman sat down, he shouted for a drink. Don Ke sat quietly and didn't say much.
The shopkeeper held the tray and brought up the wine and glass, and when he put it down, he looked at Tang Ke a few more times.
The surrounding pirates could not remain calm when they saw a legendary character like Donk, and after holding back for a while, someone finally broke the calm and asked, "Captain Donk, how is the little pirate city now?" We recently got news that some people say that the small pirate city has been captured by the Comanso Empire, is that really the case? ”
"That's right, the little pirate city has fallen." Donk took the wine glass handed by one ear and shook the wine in it, "Because of the news of the fall of the small pirate city, all the pirate ships in this port have fled, right?" ”
Among the pirates, there were sighs and snorts.
"Many people say that the five empires are about to start a big war, and the pirates will have nowhere to stay, so it is better to break up and sell the ship as soon as possible."
"Those cowards don't deserve to be pirates at all, just get out, save me from being disgusted!"
"Even pirates can't die. The Comanso Empire has already fought here, and our little pirate regiment is an opponent of the Imperial Navy. ”
"The Sea of Dreams is not easy to mix with the Sea of Jewels, I think it is better to develop in the New World, where the sky is high and the earth is far away, and the troops stationed in the empire are limited, so it is safer for us to 'do business'."
Everyone gradually opened up the conversation and talked about what they knew and their own views on the battlefield.
Donk listened attentively, occasionally answering everyone's questions.
The sea is about to change, this is the consensus of everyone, and many small pirate groups have learned from it and plan to avoid the limelight first, or even disband it directly.
It is not only the pirates who are highly nervous, but Greenland and the Dragon's Tooth have also strengthened their maritime security and tensed their nerves.
It is rumored that the purpose of the Comanso Empire this time was to get a piece of the pie from the western route, so that it would have to occupy a series of ports and small islands to ensure that the route was unblocked. Such an act is undoubtedly snatching this piece of cake with the other two empires, and disputes are inevitable.
If this development continues, it is very likely that a great war will break out between the five empires, the Goldenbeard Pirate Regiment, and the seven forces of the Pirate City!
In the aftermath of this great war, it will be difficult for those small forces to survive.
"The sea is a dangerous chess game." Tang Ke suddenly spoke, and the surroundings immediately became much quieter, "The cowards dare not go down, and the incompetent can't afford to go down." I don't bother to point fingers at other people's practices. Anyway, I and the dragon pirate group will never quit this chess game. No matter how vicious the battlefield is, I will continue to fight with the Dragon Pirates. If any of you have dreams and want to make a fortune or seek protection, feel free to join the Dragons. Our hatch is always open for you! ”
As soon as these words came out, the room was completely silent, and it became audible, and all eyes were focused on Tang Ke alone.
The Dragons Pirates have been in the spotlight lately, owning a number of magic ships, and it is rumored that Donk has defeated the Three Jacks Catherine. Such a pirate group is very attractive to some pirates who are scattered. Someone in the tavern immediately agreed to join the dragon pirates.
Donk took the opportunity to gather a few men, and decided to leave a ship behind and stay in the harbor for a while longer, before reuniting when he returned. In addition, his ship was already full, and he was afraid that he would have to take out the empty ship stored in the warehouse before he could carry the new recruits.
"I wonder where Captain Donk is going next?" A strong man who had just agreed to join the dragon pirate group asked.
"Magnolia Harbor." Donk replied.
"You're going to Magnolia Harbor?" The strong man changed color slightly. Everyone else in the room tensed up, and the atmosphere became delicate.
"yes, what's wrong?" Donk frowned.
"Looks like you must not know the news. Now how dare anyone go to Magnolia Port, everyone can't hide. The royal soothsayers of the Greenland Empire predicted a tsunami that would inundate all three major coastal ports, including Magnolia Harbour. The people there have long since been evacuated, and now it's a dead city. The strong man explained.
Tang Ke looked at the other pirates, and everyone said that Magnolia Harbor would not be able to go in the near future. He was worried that if that was the case, it would be a hassle to pick up Elizabeth.
"Is that soothsayer reliable?"
"She is a royal soothsayer, specializing in divination of catastrophes, and the great tsunami of 1735 in the Golden Sea Calendar was predicted by her in advance, avoiding 100,000 casualties." Someone next to him replied in a matter-of-fact manner.
Donk nodded, if such a soothsayer made a prophecy, he couldn't believe it. He frowned and looked ahead, outside the Tianzig-shaped window, and it was dark.
"Commander, it is estimated that Mrs. Shipcon must have taken refuge in advance, let's wait until the tsunami passes, and then go to Magnolia Harbor." One ear suggested with good words.
"Not necessarily. If she was an ordinary woman, she naturally didn't dare to be a tsunami. But she is not ordinary, she is a person who is very promised, even if the tsunami comes, she will definitely wait for me in front of the dock. It's an agreement between us, and I'm sure she'll keep it. ”
"W-That's unlikely, isn't it?" One ear was stunned.
"Even if the tsunami comes, I will rush to Magnolia Harbor as promised, and if she is not there, I will be very disappointed in her. In the same way, if I don't go, she will be disappointed in me. So I must go. ”
"But the tsunami is so terrible, let alone an ordinary boat, even if the magic boat encounters a big tsunami, it will have to capsize!"
"Then don't go on the boat, I'll swim directly to Magnolia Harbor." Donk said firmly, and drank it down.
