Chapter 238: Night Attack (Part II)

The pirates' soft leather boots leave footprints in the soft sand, and when they are on the ship, only the captain, first mate and the ship's doctor will wear boots to show their status - no matter what kind of boots are so airtight, they are not suitable for wearing on a humid and stuffy ship, so nine out of ten pirates and sailors run around the ship barefoot, and the soles of their feet have a very thick callus, like a special sole plate, of course, this does not mean that they will not have a pair of boots, after all, they want to go to the tavern, If you are having fun in a casino or at a prostitute, you will still wear valuable boots so as not to be ridiculed and looked down upon.

But today it is said that one of their prey was a spellcaster, and several experienced pirates immediately returned to their cabins and found boots from their wooden crates, put them on, and put on amulets. Ribbons and small icons with spell emblems are said to protect against many spells, and other pirates have done the same, each dressing themselves up like a palm cockatoo with a crest, and there is nothing to say about it, even if it is Drake or a sea devil, and breaking the pirates' superstitions is as unforgivable as cutting off their genitals, even the captain.

Ryette didn't have much trouble climbing the rope ladder from the side of the boat into the boat, which carried her ashore, and she let the late night wind lift herself up like a feather blown by the wind and fall among the pirates, and in the process her silk robe rolled upwards and above her thighs, and she was not wearing trousers—or more accurately, something resembling stockings. The thighs were tied with silk ropes at the base so that anyone who could look up could see an unimaginable sight - a few daring pirates not only did not look away from the whole time, but also deliberately let out a clear sigh as the silk robe re-covered Ryette's legs. What's more, he made obscene gestures to her.

To their great excitement and longing, the beautiful red-robed warlock not only did not show any displeasure, but also curled his deep purple-red lips and smiled at them.

"That's it, folks," she said softly, "let us finish our work first—and have fun whenever we want." ”

Her words immediately made many people excited.

The sea devil twisted his head. She was glad that only one or two of those fellows were her crew, and there was no doubt that they would be put into the first group of attackers by Ryette. Hopefully they could consume as much of the caster's spells as they could, she thought, they wouldn't be alive anyway - though the Sea Devil was a little annoyed by Ryette's transgression, she bowed her head in a mock sign of respect as Ryette walked past her. It's like what Ryette said. The most important thing is the work.

"Where do we go next?" asked Raytt.

"Wait. Drake said, making a fancy gesture as a flute appeared between his fingers as if out of thin air, and he picked it up and blew it, and the pirates around him looked puzzled, for they had not heard anything.

Both the Sea Demon and Ryette could hear it, the former because he had half orc blood, and the latter because of the thin dragon blood in his body. Ryitt frowned: "I hope this voice won't come far away." She said.

"No," Drake said. Because he is the leader of this mission, there are many secrets that he keeps in his throat, neither the sea demon nor Rywitt knows, this is also one of the ways to protect himself, without a little shame, he is the weakest of the three in terms of his own strength, "They are already very close to here." ”

Drake was right, and in a few moments, a small figure swayed out of the huge fern bush, and the pirates were startled and quickly drew their weapons, the silver-white blades glowing with a terrifying chill in the starlight.

But it was just a dog, an ugly hairless dog, it was rare outside the Dragonfire Islands, it was said that it was specially bred by a warlock at the request of a dwarf, and to tell the truth, even the pirates wanted to gag a little when they saw it, it looked like a skinned mouse, the surface was white and smooth, the eyes were as big as almonds, and the head was not as big as the fist of an adult male, and the ears were pointed up, and it had a pointed and long mouth, and the teeth in the mouth were dense and sharp, although it was less than half the height of a human knee, but no one would be happy to be bitten by it just by looking at that mouth。

As soon as it came out, it looked around and couldn't make sense, and it sniffed desperately, and its lips pulled back to show its teeth, which felt very evil no matter how you looked at it.

"All right," said Drake, "come out, don't waste time, your master is still waiting for good news from us." ”

The second time Soso's voice came, a small black shadow emerged from the opposite direction where the hairless dog had appeared, and when he stood in front of the pirates, they realized that it was a dwarf, and he bent down and stroked the hairless dog's head, muttered something that the pirates did not understand, and then made a gesture for them to follow him.

"They rest at the Black Conch Rock," said the dwarf in his thin voice as he walked, "they had been cruising the island for the last three days, and now they were tired, tired...... The caster's tent was inside, while his friends' tent was outside, and they took with them twenty slave girls, a eunuch, six 'bridles', and twenty-seven other slaves. ”

"That's all?"

"That's all," said the dwarf, "you may think that the time of the task is too short, but this is the best time, for the master of the Eastern Crown has withdrawn his army without leaving behind, and the new master has not yet been able to build up his own army, and he has not even had time to write letters to his friends and people, and even if they do, where will they get soldiers and knights?" he said contemptuously, "unless the gods are gracious enough to let an elite army fall from the sky." ”

"How many spells does that spellcaster have?" asked Reitt, who was most concerned about that as a spellcaster.

"You'll have to ask him personally. The gnome replied unceremoniously.

"The devil who should be cursed ten thousand times!" Drake reproached uneasily, "you promised to find an opportunity to consume some of his spells. ”

"We did say that. The dwarf shrugged his narrow little shoulders and said nonchalantly, "But we said we were looking for a chance, and it's a pity." We didn't get a chance. ”

"It's included in the contract!"

"Whatever you want," the dwarf stopped suddenly, and the sea devil walking behind him nearly kicked him into a small cookie, "you can turn around and go back now, I swear no one will stop you." ”

Drake's face was a little bad, and of course they couldn't go back, making them toss and turn. The longing for the high bounty is within reach, let them go back, how is it possible? Not to mention the sea devil who has only been empty once. He also had to pay Rayette a large payment, which was also a big expense.

Ryette stepped forward and grabbed Drake's shoulder like any mortal she would ever face. Drake didn't mean much to her. But now she needs not useless dignity, the attitude of the dwarf does not matter, he is their guide, and their work must be done with him.

"I'm sorry. In fact, there is no need for Rayette, Drake has also recovered, if he didn't know how to endure and compromise, the sea devil around him would have been a puddle of crushed fat, he held Ryette's hand. He swept her palm lightly with his little finger before letting go, knowing that the warlock would understand what he meant. Once they no longer need a guide, the gnome will face nightmarish pain and death.

The gnome chuckled sharply and low, "What is this woman, a warlock, a mage, or a priest?" His gaze fell on Ryette's belt, where dangling were dimensional pouches, scroll belts, and weapons, including scimitars, taper spikes, and an elbowed hammer of Mithril, and presumably only the priests of the gods would carry a hammer as a weapon except for the dwarves.

"What she is has nothing to do with you. Drake said, "If you want to keep procrastinating, I won't do anything if I miss this moment, and then it will not be me who will need to explain to your master, but you." ”

The dwarf was small, like two nails, and his eyes shining in the night stared at Drake for a very short time, after all, he was still afraid of his master, so then, he didn't say anything, but led the pirates through the dense jungle.

It was at this time that the pirate's sentinel sent the alarm.

"Someone," he said, "a lot of people." ”

"That's not a man," said the dwarf, "it's a cow or horse, have you ever seen a cow or a horse that will give people news? No, so go ahead of yours." ”

The pirates were suspicious, and the gnomes led them through the sugar cane fields, where the sugar cane was only as high as a human waist, and a group of slaves toiled in it, and sure enough, they were completely oblivious, and even if the figure of the pirate rested on their cloudy eyes, they didn't seem to see them at all, and a young pirate who had fallen at the end of the line could not contain his curiosity, drew his dagger, stabbed it into the belly of a slave, and then quickly got out of the way- He prepared for the slave to come again before he screamed out of fear and pain, lest he be blamed and punished for unnecessary killing, but he was surprised to find that the slave fell without saying a word, and the two slaves beside him paused, as if they did not understand why he had fallen suddenly, and when the young pirate wanted to give them a try, they finally responded, but instead of shouting or helping or helping, they just dragged the slave up and dragged him to the side of the sugar cane field, and let him lie down like this, waiting quietly for death, while the third slave filled the place of the dead, and they were diligent again, and did the work honestly.

The sight gave the young pirate the creeps out of nowhere, and he jumped to his feet and caught up with his companion without looking back.

"You can keep them outside. Dada said: "So that the enemy will know at a glance that we have found them." ”

It is true that it is difficult to detect whether there is anyone in the tent without light in the tent, but if none of the slaves who are supposed to sleep outside the tent at all times are missing, then someone will definitely notice that something is wrong, but neither Kerribben nor the souls of the other world will allow this to happen.

"If you've got something unfortunate going on. "They can't continue to live." ”

"Possibly. The spirit of the other world said, "But that doesn't mean we have to take the lives of our enemies before they do." He nodded slightly, "You take them deeper into the cave without making a sound." ”

Dada took a deep breath, "Yes, my master," he said, "May the gods bless you and your friends in safety." ”

"What do you think...... Gülen," Memi approached Gülen and lowered her voice to the lowest, "Do you think we'll be so lucky this time?"

"Lucky?" the thief scoffed, "Do you think we've been lucky the first few times?, probably for you, but for us," his eyes flashed a chill that would have sent chills through his enemies, "not really!"

amp; amp; amp;

As Dada feared, the pirates knew they had been found as soon as they saw that there were no slaves outside the tent and palanquin.

Ryette closed her eyes slightly, letting herself fall into a meditative state: "They're still here," and after a pause, she said, "It's in that cave." ”

"We moved very quickly. Drake said smugly that they had brought a total of nearly two hundred pirates this time, and the people who could compete for a place on Drake's "Golden Lady" and "Sea Devil" would not be a good person, and the people standing here had gone through a round of careful selection, and it was no exaggeration to say that even against the king's soldiers, they also had the power to fight.

With the help of their guides, they lurked less than five hundred feet from the cave before gradually letting go, and although the pirates regretted that their prey could not continue to sleep without knowing anything, since they had not been able to escape, it was only a matter of time.

The pirates use a lottery to decide the attack batch, and no one wants to be the first batch, even if the first batch is promised to catch two at will in the chest of Drake and the Sea Devil, and the second and third batches are not wanted, it is better to wait until the spellcaster inside has exhausted the spell before rushing in, a mage without a spell is like a rabbit with a broken leg, and there is no need to worry about any accidents.

The mage can use teleportation scrolls or spells to escape, but this Drake is also prepared, Ryette has previously taken out a rune crest, the rune is engraved on a real keel, this keel is taken from an evil and aging dragon, his resentment is deposited in his throat bone like limestone deposited in water, this coat of arms is carved into the shape of a whistle, as long as the caster blows, the surrounding space will fall into a slight state of disorder, will not form a puzzle or other serious conditions, but can limit the use of teleportation spells and scrolls。

"All right," said Ryette, her pupils constricting in the faint light, "they can't escape." (To be continued.) )
