Chapter 454: Hostages or something, it's my business

The Leviathan is a combat ship of the Aden City Guard, equipped with eight firearms and drives developed by the dwarves, and this Leviathan is also leading the joint operation to clean up pirates.

It was thought that with such an advanced combat ship, this clean-up operation would be smoother than expected, but on the contrary, when the fleet participating in the clean-up operation sailed into the range of the Apollo Peninsula, the pirates seemed to have predicted the coming, and instantly poured out.

For a time, the fleet was overwhelmed by pirates, and with the pirates being familiar with the nearby waters, their combat capabilities were incomparable.

In less than two hours, 12 military ships, 1,500 soldiers, and 100 adventurers brought by the Aden City Guard were killed and wounded.

In desperation, the middle-aged knight in charge of the command on the ship ordered a retreat.

However, the pirates obviously would not let them go lightly, and sent a large number of pirate ships to chase them all the way, and in the process of chasing me, both sides were killed and wounded.

However, compared to the casualties of pirates, the number of deaths of the Aden City Guard was much higher, and because of the lack of naval warfare, many soldiers who were strong on land could not use their due combat effectiveness.

As for the adventurers who had spent a lot of money to recruit them, they were even more ineffective, watching their ships be hit by pirates' cannonballs, and finally sink to the bottom of the sea in the firelight, and die in the sea.

"Boom!"

The sound of explosions resounded incessantly over the sea in the Gulf of Aden, and so on and so on a day and a night passed. The exhausted guards of Aden City were once again overtaken by pirate-driven ships.

Today, they are left with only three last ships, one of them. It was the Leviathan.

The pirates launched a frantic assault on the remaining three ships, quickly sinking two of them, leaving only the Leviathan on the side of the Aden City Guard.

At this time, on the Leviathan, surrounded by firelight, Lady Isabella stood in the control room, looking through the glass window at the sea surrounded by firelight. And the pirates who were laughing maniacally, their starry eyes filled with anxiety and trepidation.

Now there were not many people left in the Aden City Guard, looking at the pirates all around. The middle-aged knight said with a face full of self-reproach, "Madam, I hurt you, I shouldn't have let you personally lead the soldiers to the front line." ”

"Nope. It was I who insisted on coming. This matter has nothing to do with you. Lady Isabella shook her head slightly.

Because there were so few people gathered this time, although she knew that the trip would be dangerous, in order to boost morale, Madame Isabella personally led her people to the Apollo Peninsula.

Unexpectedly, the ferocity of the pirates far exceeded Isabella's imagination, and in just one day, the people she brought were defeated like a mountain, and seeing that she could not even retreat, Lady Isabella suddenly felt desperate.

"Boom!"

Another shell hit the hull of the Leviathan. The hull shook violently, and Lady Isabella let out a cry of exclamation. The man fell to the ground.

The middle-aged knight also almost fell to the side, and after getting up again, he crawled to Lady Isabella's side as soon as possible, "Madam, are you okay?" ”

Lady Isabella shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

At this time, the soldiers who were in charge of driving the Leviathan came running over and reported: "Madam, my lord, it's over, the drive on the right has been hit by pirates, and we can't run." ”

"There was also water in the cabin, and my ship was starting to sink." Another soldier continued.

When Lady Isabella and the middle-aged knight heard this, their faces became extremely ugly, and it seemed that the explosion just now had completely pushed them to a dead end.

"Ma'am, let's abandon ship and run away!" The middle-aged knight gritted his teeth.

"Abandon ship? There are so many pirates here, where can we run away if we abandon ship? Lady Isabella bit her lip, and there was not a trace of blood on her little face under the veil.

Lady Isabella was not afraid of death, but she knew that if she fell into the hands of pirates, she could end up worse than death.

On the other hand, the pirates did not seem to be in a hurry to sink the Leviathan, as their leader, a captain with an iron hook wrapped around his left arm, recognized the emblem of the city of Aden planted on the Leviathan.

"White Rose, is Isabella's mother-in-law?" Captain Hook stroked his beard and ordered, "Listen, all of you are ready to board the ship, I will capture the mermaid alive." ”

"Boss, what mermaid?" A pirate doesn't know how to ask.

"Idiot, can't you see who the owner of this ship is? She is the famous lord of our city of Aden, Lady Isabella, a great beauty with the name of the White Rose. Captain Hook licked his lips and lewd. smiled: "As long as you catch this mermaid and give it to the boss, this is a great achievement." ”

The pirate minion didn't understand very well, but he nodded as if he didn't understand, and then gave the order according to Captain Hook's words.

Soon.

The pirates fired hooks at the crumbling Leviathan, which was about to sink, and the hooks were tied with thick twine, which the pirates used to climb to the Leviathan's deck.

The remaining soldiers and adventurers on the ship tried to join forces to resist the pirates who rushed up, but they were chased for a day and a night, and their bodies were long gone, and they were still the opponents of those pirates, and in a few moments, most of the people on board were subdued without being killed.

Later, Captain Hook also boarded the Leviathan, and he ordered a search for the people hiding on board, and within ten minutes, everyone on board was brought to him, including the famous Lady Isabella.

"Tut, I didn't expect that our lord of Aden City would personally bring people to our Apollo Peninsula." Captain Hook walked up to Lady Isabella and pulled the veil off her face with one hand.

A seductive face appeared in front of everyone.

Although she is close to 40 years old, her skin is well maintained, her skin is better than snow, and her eyes are like a pool of water. When looking forward to it, he has an elegant and elegant temperament, which makes people feel ashamed of himself and dare not blaspheme.

Captain Hook looked at the face. It took a while to come back to his senses, and then he laughed and said, "Sure enough, Lady Isabella, who is known as the White Rose, is really beautiful. ”

As he spoke, Captain Hook reached out and pinched Lady Isabella's pointed chin.

"Bastard, don't touch my lady!"

Although the middle-aged knight was caught by two pirates, and Shin Shang seemed to be injured, he saw his wife being desecrated by those hateful pirates. He immediately erupted like an enraged lion, throwing the two kelps around him into the air, and then angrily charged at Captain Hook.

However. Before the middle-aged knight's fist hit Captain Hook's face, a wind blade suddenly shot from behind, cutting a cut in his back, and the middle-aged knight let out a miserable scream. A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth and he fell to the ground heavily.

"Hmph. is already a prisoner of the stairs, and he still wants to be a hero to save the United States. A pirate dressed as a mage beside Captain Hook sneered.

"Don't kill him." Lady Isabella cried out in despair, tears pouring out of her sapphire eyes and sliding down her snow-white skin to her face.

Captain Hook grabbed Lady Isabella's long soft purple hair, pulled her up, took a sip of the body fragrance from her body through his nose, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as you are obedient, I will not kill these people for the time being." ”

Although he knows how miserable he will end up in the hands of these people. But Lady Isabella had no choice but to nod tearfully.

recalled that the middle-aged knight was injured just now in order to protect himself. Lady Isabella regretted that she should have listened to the advice of the middle-aged knight and should not have led the party herself. Otherwise, even if they can't defeat the pirates, they won't need a rat trap.

However, there is no medicine for regret in this world, and Lady Isabella can only agree to the conditions proposed by Captain Hook.

"Haha! We're closing the team now. Holding the fragrant beauty in his hand, and the soft and boneless body of the other party, Captain Iron Hook let out a smug laugh.

However, just as the pirates were about to retreat, a pale blue light suddenly flashed on the originally red sea outside.

This light pierced the sky like lightning that pierced the setting sun, and seven or eight of the pirate ships that had surrounded the Leviathan were struck by this lightning at the same time, destroying the ships in an instant.

"And the Slow Soldiers?"

Captain Hook's expression changed drastically, and he didn't care about Lady Isabella in his arms, pushed her away with one hand, and ran in the direction of the bow of the ship.

After a while, those pirate minions hurriedly ran over and reported: "Boss, the direction of the attack is a fishing boat five hundred meters away, and the person who launched the attack should be a magician." ”

"Fishing boats?" Hearing this result, Captain Iron Hook almost couldn't breathe anymore and scolded, "You idiot? Fishing boats were able to hit seven or eight of us at a distance of 500 meters? ”

"This ......" was scolded by the pirate minion who felt very aggrieved, but he told the truth, it was all wrong.

Fortunately, the pirate dressed as a mage who had injured the middle-aged knight just now suddenly spoke: "Boss, if the other party is a magician, it should be possible to hit our ship, and judging from the power and range of the magic just now, the rank of this magician is at least at the level of a master." ”

"Magician?" Captain Hook frowned and said, "Frog, can you beat him?"

"I can't do him alone, but it's at sea, and we're pirates." The mage named Bullford smiled meaningfully and said, "I am also a magician, and I know very well that it is impossible to cast such powerful magic continuously, and now is a good opportunity for us to rush forward and kill them." “

Captain Hook's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood, and shouted: "Come on, go back to our ship immediately, and then go full speed ahead, target that fishing boat, and kill the bastard who sneaked up on us." ”

However, as soon as Captain Hook's voice fell, a blue light suddenly flashed in the direction of the fishing boat.

"Boom!"

This time, there are more pirate ships that have been swept away by lightning, including the pirate ship that the original Captain Hook was on.

“……”

All the pirates, including Captain Hook, were in a cold sweat, and if they had returned to their ship earlier, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Frogford, you bastard, what did you just say, didn't you say that this kind of powerful magic can't be cast continuously?" After coming back to his senses. Captain Hook yelled at the magician beside him.

Brofer himself was also dumbfounded, and muttered, "I...... I don't know what's going on, do ...... Could it be that there are two equally powerful magicians on the other ship? Right. It must be so! ”

Hearing this, Captain Ironhook was so angry that he almost threw this idiot into the sea to feed the fish, but now that most of their ship had been destroyed, if the other party's electric light came again, I am afraid that the people on his side would not be able to suffer much.

Compared with the angry pirates, Lady Isabella, who was originally desperate, immediately rose a glimmer of hope in her heart after the shock.

Although it is not known who is attacking the pirates. But she subconsciously thought like the pirates that this was a slow soldier who had come to save them, and thought of this. She secretly prayed that her side could support the arrival of the delayed soldiers.

"Boom!"

A third flash of lightning soon came from the direction of the fishing boats, and Berry was completely stupid, watching as another batch of boats was destroyed.

This process takes less than 5 minutes before and after. However, their pirate ship was almost destroyed. Except for the pirates who boarded the Leviathan in the first place. The pirates sent out by Captain Hook to chase him down this time are almost dead.

Obviously, the victory has already been reached, and he also grabbed the beautiful lord of Aden City, but he didn't expect that in just a few minutes, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, and he couldn't bear it now.

Realizing that the shape was wrong, Captain Iron Hook immediately made a decision and shouted, "Quick, immediately send a signal to the other party." Sue them, Lady Isabella, lord of the city of Aden, is in our hands. Let them stop attacking! ”

Captain Iron Hook thought that there must be reinforcements sent from the city of Aden on this fishing boat that could shoot lightning constantly, and when he thought of this, he suddenly felt that there were still hostages on his side, and they would not dare to attack it.

"I'm sorry, madam, but I might ask you to come forward and say a few words to your reinforcements in a moment." Captain Hook walked up to Lady Isabella and smiled.

When Lady Isabella heard this, she was immediately anxious, and the worst-case scenario really appeared, and the reinforcements might be afraid of themselves because of themselves.

"Bang bang bang!"

Three different colored light bombs rise from the Leviathan's ship's deck, a type of communication bomb used by ships when they are at sea, and different color combinations have different meanings.

When the signal was issued, Captain Hook became more calm, clasping his hands and waiting for the other party's reply.

However, Captain Hook was destined to be disappointed this time, because less than a minute after the signal grenade was raised, a blue electric light flashed from the fishing boat's side again, and this time the direction of the shot was actually the Leviathan.

At this time, even the captain of the iron hook was stunned, and shouted: "Get down! ”

"Boom!"

Almost everyone lay down at the same time, the lightning bolt thicker than a bucket pierced directly through the hull of the Leviathan, and the entire Leviathan shook violently, and the people on board almost flew away with a huge impact.

Thankfully, the Leviathan's larger hull was pierced by lightning, but it didn't fall apart like the smaller pirate ships.

But Rao was like this, and the people on the Leviathan were so frightened that they almost urinated, and the captain of the hook got up in a wolf and scolded: "Nima, what is the situation? Didn't the bastards over there see our signal bombs?

Not to mention the Captain Hook, at this time, even the soldiers and adventurers of Aden City brought by Mrs. Isabella wanted to curse, at first they thought that there was a delay in the arrival, but they were very happy, but they did not expect these reinforcements to open fire directly after seeing the signal bullets, completely ignoring them hostages.

……

At this time, 500 meters away from the Leviathan, on Captain Kasia's fishing boat, Ruan Chi had just fired the fourth Titan Arrow.

Unfortunately, this cannon didn't blow up the last ship, and Ruan Chi couldn't help but secretly regret it, and was about to fire the fifth shot, with the momentum of vowing to send these bastards who made him seasick to hell.

But at this moment, Captain Kasia, who had just seen the signal bullet go up, suddenly ran over and shouted, "Warrior, please wait, don't attack yet." ”

As a fisherman, he was naturally very familiar with the signal of this kind of signal bomb used at sea, and when the Leviathan signal bomb was raised just now, Captain Kasia immediately deciphered the meaning.

Lady Isabella, the lord of the city of Aden, was on that ship?

After the signal shell was interpreted, Captain Kasia was immediately startled, and when he saw that Ruan Chi was about to fire the fifth cannon, he rushed up to stop it.

"What for?" Ruan Chi frowned and asked.

"Warriors, there is our lord of Aden on board, and you must not attack." Captain Kasia pleaded with a sad face.

The brunette boy in front of him is simply so strong. In just two or three strokes, those pirate ships were wiped out, and now Captain Kasia was full of awe for Ruan Chi.

"Lord, what lord?"

"Even our lord of Aden, Lady Isabella, must have been taken hostage by pirates, and if you attack now, it will affect her."

During her tenure as lord of the city of Aden, Mrs. Isabella made a great contribution to the fishing industry in the Gulf of Aden. Especially for fishermen like them, who operate with a small budget, they have implemented a lot of generous policies, so after knowing that Lady Isabella on the ship was held hostage by pirates, Captain Kasia couldn't help but rush up to intercede even if he was afraid of Ruan Chi.

However, Captain Kasia's plea didn't work, Ruan Chi only thought for a moment, and then pouted, "What does the hostage have to do with me?" ”

Captain Kasia was stunned when he heard this, his mouth opened several times, but he didn't dare to beg for mercy again, he was worried that Ruan Chi, who was in an unhappy mood now, would take advantage of himself.

Ruan Chi rolled his eyes and turned around to re-aim and shoot, but at this moment, a voice suddenly interjected, "Wait." (To be continued......)
