CH.62 Temptation
After negotiating the cooperation, Anrui led the fleet to set sail again and continued to ride the wind and waves towards the east.
He was in a good mood at this time, and after cooperating with Black this time, he greatly advanced his revenge progress, so that he could take revenge early and destroy Bai Ge's group of pirates. If he doesn't eliminate Bai Ge, there will always be a small knot in his heart that he can't unravel.
Of course, this kind of cooperation will definitely come with risks and increase the variables in the battle, but how can there be absolutely safe things in this world? Drinking water can choke people to death, let alone surfing the sea.
This time the risk is limited to An Rui's tolerance, not particularly large, for Blake's character, he is still very relieved, this is an honest soldier, much better than most soldiers, is a reliable partner.
In order to increase his chances of victory, he planned to stock up on a little more weapons after returning to Starmoon Island, recruit more good players, and if he had enough funds, he would spend money to hire two powerful wizards to carve two more defensive circles on the sailboat.
Many days later, the fleet sailed safely into the harbor of Starmoon Island and rested in the harbor for the night.
The next day, Anrui led a group of people overland to Ore Town, where he met Clive, an honest man.
As soon as they met, Clive couldn't wait to report the harvest of the mine to Anrui, and said it very carefully, and each account had a clear source. The ore produced by these mines is still very considerable, and more than 6,000 gold coins have been sold in the days of Anrui's absence.
At the behest of Anrui, except for Azurite. All the ore is dug up and sold to local merchants nearby, and the price of this ore is stable anyway. It's not as profitable as Blue Crystal, so you don't need to spend too much effort to operate.
In fact, these reports, An Rui already knew about them through the contact of the sound stone. He came here mainly to collect money, not to listen to reports.
An Rui's hands were still very dark, and he directly took away the money earned from the mine and took away 5,500 gold coins, leaving only 500 gold coins in the mine. The money left behind is enough for the operation of the mine.
An Rui left Ore Town that day. Without staying here, it is now the end of the month of the Family Month, and it is only a few days away from the Fire Moon. There's not much time to waste.
After returning to the port, Anrui armed the fleet with the money he had just gotten, although not to the point of arming to the teeth. But it's about the same.
Anrui also specially bought a treasure called "Screaming Horn". Once blown, this kind of horn can interfere with sonic skills, and can restrain the shaman's drum beat or war song to a certain extent. This kind of treasure is indispensable to deal with Viking orcs, but he didn't have that much money before and couldn't afford it.
The three ships set sail again and sailed to Hump Island, which was far away from Xingyue Island. It can't be reached without a dozen days of sailing.
During the voyage, the fleet encountered heavy rains for several days. was drenched up and down, but fortunately, the impact was not too big.
On the thirteenth day of the Burning Moon, the fleet finally arrived at Hump Island before the appointed date, and traveled around the coast of the island, looking for the ships of the White Eagle Nation.
Hump Island, as its name suggests, resembles a hump, and the island is mainly composed of two peaks, one large and one small. The mountains are full of green mountains and trees, and they are all green as far as the eye can see, as if they are dressed in a layer of green.
When detouring to a headland, An Rui finally saw through the telescope the fleet of the White Eagle Country, led by the flagship of the Holy Son, it seems that Blake came here first, and he is still trustworthy.
The last time Anrui saw Black, he had six ships under his command, but this time the number had increased to nine, and there was one more Templar ship. It seems that Blake has not been idle these days, and like An Rui, he is also deploying troops and accumulating strength.
Blake's nine ships plus Anrui's three, that is, twelve ships, this sea force is already quite strong, enough to crush Bai Ge's fleet.
Angered by the impending battle, Anrui gave the order and led the fleet to approach Black's fleet. He stood on the bow of the Hunter and looked out at the Son, and it wasn't long before Blake's tall, muscular figure came into view.
When they got closer, the two boats were on the portions, just like last time.
Once born, twice cooked, and the second time they met, the two were much more familiar than last time.
"After many days, we meet again." An Rui smiled.
"Let's get down to business. I received news from the spies of the White Eagle Kingdom a few days ago that Bai Ge had just led the fleet back to his lair, which is the nearby Bloodmouth Island. If you want to fight him to the death, now is the best time. Have you changed your mind? Do you want to work with me against him? Blake spoke as crisply as last time, skimming straight past the stage of the set, and talking about business seriously.
"If I change my mind, how can I come all the way here, this is not a good place."
"Since your mind hasn't changed, let's talk about how to join forces to deal with Bai Ge. I had come up with a plan to deal with Bai Ge. ”
"I want to hear about it."
"Xuekou Island is Bai Ge's lair, he has laid a lot of artillery there, if we directly attack it with ships, we will definitely suffer. So I wanted to seduce him by a ship and lure him out of Bloodmouth Island and all the way here. When he gets closer, we'll release the large army hiding here and take him by surprise. In a war at sea, we will definitely have the upper hand and will win. ”
Hearing this, An Rui's eyes changed for a moment, guessed the other party's intentions, and said with a wry smile: "Do you want me to be the bait?" ”
"You have an enmity with him, and you have a fish-man ship in your hands, of course this important task belongs to you." Blake said rightfully.
An Rui took a deep breath, thought about the feasibility of this matter, and finally was ruthless, nodded, and took over the heavy responsibility. As Blake said, he has a fish-man ship, which is best suited for this, and even if he is overtaken, he can easily dive away without much risk.
The two then talked about other aspects of cooperation, such as the arrangement of troops, the order of battle, who should be the main one, how to distribute the spoils after victory, and so on. The two chatted very carefully, and even talked about who should belong to Bai Ge's head after killing Bai Ge.
The more carefully they talked before the war, the less likely it was to go wrong when the real fight started, and both of them understood this truth, so no one was annoyed and kept talking for a long time.
In the end, the two finally worked out a mutually acceptable cooperation plan, taking all aspects into account.
"Now that we're partners, shouldn't we have a pre-war drink and strengthen our relationship?" An Rui asked with a smile.
"I never drink, so if you want to strengthen a relationship, give it a high-five." Blake lifted his white-gloved palm.
Anrui smiled and clapped his hand.
"Smack!"
The two hands collided together, and a crisp sound rang out.
The next moment, Blake's eyes suddenly froze, like the blade of a sword unsheathed, shooting out two sharp gazes. His hand suddenly increased its strength, like a storm crashing on the shore, crushing towards An Rui's palm.
An Rui changed color slightly, and hurriedly mobilized his strength to resist.
The palms of the two hands that were clinging together trembled violently, like two bulls in a battle.
Anrui looked at Blake and frowned, a hint of anger in his eyes.
Blake was unmoved, his palms still increasing his strength, but he didn't make any unnecessary movements. He was obviously not sneaking up on An Rui, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as palm afterburner. He did this just to test Anrui a little.
An Rui had a flash of inspiration, saw Blake's intentions, and slowly settled down in his hanging heart, focusing all his attention on fighting against the domineering palm.
He mobilized his physical strength from afar, and the strength rose from the soles of his feet, traveled along his legs, and gathered with more strength, and finally passed through the waist, abdomen, and chest, and passed to the palms of his hands.
But these powers are far from enough, Blake is a "holy warrior" of about level 20, the level is much higher than An Rui, and the power released is like a mountain and a sea, which is very amazing.
An Rui's palm kept retreating, and he was defeated. His competitive spirit was stimulated, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he poured a large amount of dragon soul into his arm, so that his strength increased again, and finally stopped the decline and turned the tide.
The palms of both hands froze in mid-air for several seconds.
Blake was not aggressive, and after feeling the same, he slowly withdrew his strength. He was furious when he exerted his strength, but he was not in a hurry when he retracted his strength, and it was obvious that he had reached the point where he could freely send and receive his power.
An Rui breathed a sigh of relief, also took back his strength, and cursed secretly, this temptation made him lose a lot of dragon souls.
"Not bad." Blake withdrew his hand and complimented.
"You're not bad either." An Rui replied, and the corners of his eyes twitched twice.
"I came here yesterday with a fleet, and if I stay here for a long time, I will probably be discovered by Bai Ge's people, and then our strategy will not work. So sooner rather than later, you should set sail now and set off as bait. ”
"Okay, anyway, it's a battle sooner or later, you take the fleet and get ready to attack, wait for my good news here, and we will use the sound transmission stone to keep in touch." An Rui was full of pride, and after giving an explanation, he returned to the Hunter.
Blake also returned to the Holy Son, and removed the portholes.
Anrui left the two ships behind to accompany Black's fleet. He set out on the expedition with only one ship, the Hunter, out of the headland and on to nearby Bloodmouth Island.
He felt that the name of Bloody Island was too appropriate, this ship was now sailing towards a bloody mouth, and the slightest mistake could be eaten in one bite! (To be continued......)
