On the huge curtain of water formed by the high waves, a bronze statue of the goddess suddenly broke through the waves, and then the thick and sturdy oak hull and the bow spinnaker hanging diagonally also rushed out, smashing the waves to pieces.

With no waves obstructing the view, the figure of the three-masted galleon "Yunsong" was finally revealed.

On the surface of the sea raging with strong winds and torrential rains, waves up to several meters high kept lapping against the thick oak planks of the "Cloud Pine", and the top of the waves even overflowed the side side, washing the deck over and over again, and together with the dense curtain of water falling from the sky, the deck of the battleship was poured into countless waterfalls and streams.

Completely made of thick oak planks under the tyranny of nature, the "Cloud Pine" is as small as a leaf, and the sailing merchant ship is crumbling, and every time the waves hit, it seems to sweep it directly into the bottom of the sea.

The captain of the "Cloud Pine", Deria, bare his chest, and the horrific scar that extends from his collarbone to his waist is clearly exposed to the wind and rain, showing everyone the glory of this sturdy man.

The frantically rocking hull had already made the weather-hardened crew staggered as if they were drunk, but Captain Deria's bare feet were firmly planted on the deck as if they had taken root, and his body was a tumbler, and no matter how much the hull swayed, it could not affect the captain in the slightest.

"It's too slow! It's too slow! Didn't you all eat!? Or are they all!? The dancers at the Blue Tide Tavern are more energetic than you! Hang the sails for me! I want a full sail! It's full sails! ”

As soon as Captain Deria finished speaking, a big wave shook the "Yunsong", and a sailor who was climbing the rope screamed and fell down, smashed the deck railing, and fell into the sea, and in the blink of an eye was swept into the whirlpool and died.

The other sailors who were still climbing the rope and hanging the canvas couldn't help but shrink their necks, clutching the rope tightly and not daring to continue upward.

Captain Deria threw a throwing knife into the throat of a sailor who was swinging through the storm on a harness.

When the sea swallowed the second sailor, Captain Deria roared.

"Listen to me, the cowards above! There are three ways you can die!

First, lie on it all the time, and then be blown into the sea by the storm and drown!

Second, work slowly, and then let the pirates catch up and stab you in the stomach!

Thirdly, I trembled and scared like a partridge, and then I was shot to death by my throwing knife!

Pick, boys!

But if you don't want to die, hang up the damn sails for me! ”

After saying that, another throwing knife was thrown out, knocking a sailor's hat into the sea!

The sailors, who were scared into a cold sweat, began to climb frantically, and finally hung up all the sails in the storm!

A nobleman standing beside Captain Deria shouted loudly with his hat to shield himself from the wind and rain:

"Captain Deria! With such a big wind and waves still hanging all over the sails, the mast is likely to break! ”

Captain Deria glared at the nobleman, "Then you'd better pray that the mast doesn't break!" ”

After saying that, Captain Deria applied [Eagle Eye] to himself, and his brows were tightly knit as he observed the pirate fleet chasing after them!

That's right, the same fleet, Captain Deria has only two armed merchant ships, and the pirates have as many as thirteen! Two of them are specialized warships!

In a storm, the usual practice is to lower the sails, and then continue sailing after the storm has stopped, the use of full sails is taboo, not only may the mast be blown by the wind and completely lose power, but it is more likely to be blown directly to the ship's destruction!

Captain Deria's actions were undoubtedly insane, but he had to, because the pirates were all insane!

The frenzied chase lasted for more than twenty minutes, and a pirate ship unfortunately lost its mainmast and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, God knows what fate it will face.

But what happened to the pirate ship didn't deter the other twelve pirate ships, and the lightly loaded pirate ship quickly narrowed the distance between it and the "Cloud Pine" under the strong wind, and it was about to catch up!

Captain Deria stared at the pirate fleet in silence for a long time, and suddenly commanded in a deep voice: "Order the 'Morel XVII' to sail half-sail, turn around, and meet the pirate fleet!" ”

The herald was stunned for a moment, and then before Captain Deria could repeat it, he loudly conveyed the order to the signalman on the watchtower.

The nobleman standing beside Captain Deria couldn't believe what he had heard, and immediately shouted, "Captain Deria! Do you know what you're doing!? ”

"Of course I do." Captain Deria said with a gloomy face, "The people of the 'Morel XVII' know just as well. ”

As soon as Captain Deria finished speaking, the herald read aloud the light signal of the 'Morel XVII'.

"Our ship will be a shield!"

Captain Deria continued to order with a cold face: "Go to the cargo compartment and throw away all those unnecessary bulky items for me!" ”

The nobleman opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but could not make a sound, so he could only lie on the guardrail, and watched as the "Morel XVII" not far behind him lowered the sails, turned, and placed the entire hull between the pirate fleet and the "Cloud Pine".

Although Dimerson was extremely disgusted by this act of abandoning himself to survive alone, whether it was his education or his own beliefs, he actually felt a sense of relief when he saw the shadow of the pirate fleet being obscured by the "Morel XVII".

It made him feel very guilty!

Can...... The feeling of escaping death...... I really want to laugh out loud!

The pirates are nothing more than robbers, and chasing them under this storm is a fatal business! I think that as long as they get the gold and silver cargo on the "Morel XVII", they will have no reason to continue to pursue the "Yunsong"!

However, Dimerson was clearly shocked to see that the pirate fleet actually turned a blind eye to the "Morel XVII" that was throwing this crossbow arrow at them, and the eight pirate ships as the main force directly bypassed the hull of the "Morel XVII", and still pursued the "Yunsong" relentlessly, leaving only a few small ships with insufficient combat power to try to capture the "Morel XVII".

"Hell! They know what's on board! Someone must have leaked the information! I said why would some pirates go out to sea to rob in such damn weather, they were just waiting for us! ”

Unaffected by the angry Dimerson's emotions, Captain Deria still had a cold expression.

"Order, half-sail, ready for battle!"
