Even though it was not yet five o'clock in the afternoon, it was dark and the surrounding scene seemed to be late at night! Black cumulonimbus clouds like mountains are stacked on top of each other, covering the entire sky from the top of your head to the end of your vision! Not only does it block out the evening sun, but it also covers the sea with a huge cover!

From time to time, frightening lightning lit up in the clouds, tearing the dark clouds like a bright blade, illuminating this small world! At this time, the wind seemed to have gradually subsided, and the sea seemed to calm down without stormy waves. But in fact, the whole sea was shaking dramatically! This is getting more and more terrifying!

All the signs are a sign that a great storm is coming! Now it's just the calm before the storm!

"You stay, and go and guide that ship into the harbor of Coral Island at once." Lu Yuan explained to August. He took out his stick figure and drew three dots on the inside of the semi-circular coral island, and marked the names of the ships in turn, "Order!" The three ships were lowered to anchor in accordance with this arrangement, and repairs were carried out immediately after the sails were lowered. Execute it now! ”

When encountering an unavoidable storm, you can rely on the coral island to withstand the storm by parking the boat in a natural harbor inside the coral ring. Improving the probability of survival is a common sense that sailors on the sea know. However, the harbor in the coral reef is often densely covered with reefs and different depths, and it is difficult to find a good place to stop the boat. If you stop directly on a pile of reefs, you may be swept up by the waves and slapped on it at any time! Die faster! In this way, directly find three suitable stopping places, then only Lu Yuan can do it.

When the Kraken signaled to guide the St. Andrews Caravel into the makeshift harbor, there was a slight commotion on top of the St. Andrews. Then the pirate flag was quickly lowered. Changed into the dirty shirt of a certain pirate - they no longer waited for the outcome of the duel and simply chose to surrender!

A big storm is coming, and the current scene is terrifying even for those old sea wolves! Now it's quieter. When the storm comes, the more ferocious and tyrannical it becomes! So when the "Kraken" took the initiative to release a friendly signal. Without hesitation, they shook the outstretched hand.

"Bell Bell ~~ Bell Bell ~~". The Kraken led the way with a bell, and the St. Andrews temporarily replaced the rudder with a long plank, and several people piloted it. Staggered along the route of the Kraken into a makeshift reef harbor. Seeing the Kraken leading the way in front, the entire "St. Andrews" felt very relieved...... Because at this time, the bewitching and magical piloting skills of the Kraken have deeply impressed every sailor he has seen.

Driving a large ship with a displacement of several thousand pounds, the "jumping horse" back and forth, they swore that they had never seen it in their lives, and they had never even thought about it.

In the distance, the "Barrier", trapped in the narrow waterway on the outskirts of Coral Island, finally struggled to free its fat body from the waterway. The Barrier then followed the St. Andrews and sailed into Coral Bay.

The "Barrier" received the "Kraken" gentlemanly help, but he did not raise the white flag and surrender, this disgraceful act caused the "St. Andrews" to boo.

The Kraken was still very gentlemanly and pointed out where it would anchor, and then left from them. During this period, the Kraken took the lead in putting away the muzzle of the gun, which was unanimously praised. Later, the Barrier's behavior of putting away the cannon and closing the cannon door was unanimously despised by everyone.

But who can know that the "Kraken's" excessively friendly behavior is just because he is afraid that it will be seen at close range, and there are no shells in the barrel? Looking at the "St. Andrews" loaded with thirty 16-pounder guns, their eyes were actually red with jealousy!

*********

The two sides finally agreed that the duel would take place on Coral Island.

A small boat was dropped from the Barrier, on which sat four men, the "Admiral in Black", his witnesses, and two oarsmen. When he disembarked, there was a burst of cheers from the Barrier! Obviously, their admiral, the big boss of the "Elder Regiment", is still a dueling master! This gave their team members a lot of confidence.

The "black-clothed admiral" stood at the bow of the ship with a scimitar and bayonet, facing the east and looking at the dim world, but his expression could not be seen because of the mask obscuring.

His fleet had actually failed, and the so-called duel was just a way for the losers to try to restore their dignity, and everyone on the "Barrier" understood this. However, they still expect their admiral to win, and then the other party may send them away with an ancient grace (which is actually stupid).

"Look over there!" A pirate screamed! The pirates who attracted the whole ship looked in the direction he was pointing!

"Jesus!" "Oh my God!" "My God!" “HolyShit!” …… More and more people let out screams of astonishment, and a huge wave of sound converged on the "Barrier".

The "Admiral in Black" was awakened by the sound and came back to his senses from his meditation on the sky. When he turned around, he couldn't help but grow his mouth! He clearly saw that the admiral on the other side, the young nobleman...... With a 10-foot spear in his hand, he stepped on the undulating waves and walked towards Coral Island!

The "Admiral in Black" whispered in shock.

Yes, on foot! It's like carrying a straw stick in your hand and stepping on stone steps under your feet! If it weren't for the fact that his body was still rising and falling with the waves of the sea, the pirates would even think that there was a big road below!

"Is that the Child of the Sea?" Some people shouted, but he and all Catholics knew it. There is only one person in history who has ever done this, and that man is called Jesus, and it is written in the Bible. In the Caribbean, where force is supreme and there is no shortage of gold ranks, it is not surprising to be able to tow a large ship on its own and to be able to jump like a monkey between several boats.

But "walking on the surface of the sea" is so ...... The sacred thing really challenged the bottom line of the believers, making them absolutely unbelievable! Even if you see it with your own eyes! At this moment, probably many devout people wish they were blind.

"Nope. I guess it's the lover of the sea god Colybuso! (Teenager.) Don't you notice that the clouds are a little heavier? )

Until the end of the argument, someone whispered, "He must be a kraken", and many people heard it.

"Siren...... "Yes, Siren!" "Kraken! It's the Kraken! ”

Voices of approval came and went.

But now. I'm afraid no one will look favorably on their black-clad admiral anymore. The atmosphere on the Barrier began to grow tragic.

*******

When Lu Yuan stepped on the coral reef. The sea breeze began to blow slowly again, and began to intensify very quickly.

The big storm has finally arrived.

Lu Yuan looked up at the sky consciously, and he stretched out his hand. Caught the first drop of rain falling from the sky. With a "crackling" sound, a water droplet the size of a particle bomb smashed down.

The "Admiral in Black" did not bring his witnesses. When the boat sailed into the shallow waters of the coral island, he urged the boat to return, and then jumped directly from the boat into the sea and waded towards the land. He had taken off his black cloak, and was still wearing a large black cowhide waistcoat and breeches, cuffed leather boots, and a decorative eye patch and mask.

The rain fell on Lu Yuan, and it also fell on the body of the "black-clothed admiral". Before the two of them approached, they were all drenched in soup by the increasingly rapid rainstorm. The two of them kicked away the knees-deep sea water in the rain and strode forward, their eyes already fighting like swords!

Lu Yuan suddenly had a very familiar feeling.

The sailors on all three ships, after securing their boats, gathered on the side of the ship to watch the duel on the reef. The torrential rain soon drenched countless people. The overwhelming rain and arrows poured down, covering the sky and the sky in a white expanse, and countless curtains were drawn between the sea ships and the islands.

Suddenly, a whole fierce sea breeze swept low across the water, carrying countless rainwaters, and rushed towards the two people who were constantly approaching! At that moment, the people on the boat couldn't see anything clearly except for the sudden thick droplets of water.

It's just that two bright lights lit up violently on the island, and the surging and inverted sea rain was cut open by two gaps! The rain curtain parted on both sides like a torn sail, and the crew saw the "black-clothed admiral" cut through the wind and rain with a sword, and slashed towards the landing distance with two bright lights.

After that, the heavy rain that fell covered the bodies of the two people again.

Can't wait for the pirates to be disappointed.

Immediately there was a crisp sound of "boom", and on the coral island, the rain suddenly scattered like a burst cannonball, and the next moment the picture revealed was the spear wielded by the kraken Lu Yuan, holding up the scene of a pair of sword lights! Then he raised his spear and swung around his head like a broadsword, swinging like a whirlwind with the wind and rain in the sky. Then I only heard him shout "ha", and the spear raised from the wind, rain and sea water, sticking to the endless huge waves, roared over Lu Yuan's own head, and smashed overwhelmingly towards the "black-clothed admiral"!

The coral reef, which was originally only shallow and exposed to the water, has been completely submerged by the sea! Those who duel on the island can only be seen occasionally. But no matter the wind, rain or waves, they can't hide the super existence of those two people!

They split the waves, broke the wind and rain, and fought with more than human strength on the stormy sea! The strength of the weapon can tear out traces of more than a dozen feet with each blow, which makes them look as if they are two mythical giants fighting!

Their every move and style drove the wind and sea rain within a radius of dozens of zhang, as if they had the power to destroy the world, and the catastrophic storm seemed to be their background, completely reduced to a third-rate supporting role, and became a foil for two people!

I don't know when the road began, but the sailors who were watching on the three ships unconsciously had tears in their eyes.

Tears and rain mixed together and flowed silently. Many choked up, they didn't expect, but had to watch one of them fall. They are like warriors fighting on the altar of the sea god, and in the end, the victor will sacrifice the life of the loser to the sea god! In order to appease the wrath of the sea god......

But their contempt undoubtedly angered a narrow-minded fellow.

The storm was driven. Like a wild horse that has been mad, it is raging more and more!

In the end, they set off a huge wave of more than ten meters and shot down towards the island frantically! Even if a battleship were parked there, it would be crushed to pieces! And at this time, there was also a lightning bolt that pierced the heavens and the earth and fell on the peak of the waves, creating a large amount of smoke and fireballs on the top of the waves, and they rushed over together!

"Ahh The mournful roars of countless sailors resounded on the three ships!

How so?! Why do you want to destroy the sacred duel?!

*********

The huge waves crashed unhindered on the reef island, raging wildly, and then scattered. The thunderball on the crest of the wave also turned into a stream of fire, and with the ebb tide of the waves, it dispersed into countless small fragments of electricity. Gone.

But just that moment. What the hell is going on?!

The sailors looked at each other, how could I feel so wrong?!

At this moment, even the storm calmed down?! And this beautiful brilliance......

"Moon?!" Jacques on the mast shouted frantically! Even the raging storm did not allow him to get him off the mast. Hence stood the highest of him. Be the first to notice this absolutely unimaginable sight!

The pirates who heard this all looked up at the sky. Their mouths opened wide in astonishment, and they were speechless, and their mouths uttered all sorts of meaningless interjections—in the cloudy sky. A crescent-shaped "scar" was torn open! That scar was so deep that it completely penetrated the entire cloud-shrouded heaven and earth! Let the cloudy sky reveal a small blue sky and a bright moon!

There seemed to be some kind of force stirring up the wind, tearing and expanding the "wound" on the dark clouds, surging and expanding to both sides, and soon penetrated the east-west direction of the field of vision, tearing the sky in half! In the blink of an eye, the sky was already clear above the heads of the three ships, no wonder even the storm had stopped!

"Admiral!! Admiral in Black! "Countless people on the fierce Galen ship shouted loudly!

I only saw that as the rising sea receded, a burly figure was revealed on a small island made of coral reefs!

Standing on the highest position of the coral reef, holding two swords in his left hand and behind his back, he was the "black-clothed admiral" of the "Elder Regiment"!

The clothes of the "Black-clothed Admiral" were almost torn, revealing the whole body, bending the burly muscles! His right hand was spread out and raised high with all his might, as if he was holding something, and he stood there motionless! As the sea receded, the wounds on his body that had been torn out by the overstretched muscles spurted blood in unison!

"Admiral!" The pirates on Galen's ship screamed, and someone lowered the boat and rowed towards the reef!

"We won?!" The "Barrier" began to celebrate, the "St. Andrews", which had already surrendered, was silent, and the "Siren", which had just succumbed to Lu Yuan's obscenity for only half a day, began to panic.

If you are defeated, you will be defeated, and there are no bones left...... What can I do about this?!

"What's that?!" This time it was Jacques again, and as he observed the dark clouds in the sky that were beginning to show signs of closing, he unexpectedly saw a black dot that was gradually expanding, and even rapidly approaching! “HolyShit! It's the captain! With his excellent eyes, he could see at a glance that the man who spread his limbs and seemed to ride the wind and fell down was none other than their captain!

The figure of the falling was extremely fast, and as soon as he finished saying that, Lu Yuan, who had fallen, had already fallen between the three boats, and with a "bang", it stirred up a column of water more than ten meters high!

When the "Kraken" also put down the dinghy to go to the rescue, he saw Lu Yuan floating from the bottom of the water, and from the outside, he seemed to have nothing serious except for the same explosive shirt like the "Admiral in Black", revealing a solid body of muscles and seven wounds.

He waved his hand to let the rescue boat return, and he still stepped on the water, walking in the direction of the "black-clothed admiral".

As he walked over, the "Admiral in Black" was bandaged up and down his body, leaning against the dinghy, apparently waiting for his arrival.

Until Lu Yuan stepped directly from the sea to the boat, neither of them spoke.

The "Admiral in Black" waved his hand, and the two men in the dinghy hesitated. Or turned away from the dinghy. In the bright clear light, the sailors on all three boats could clearly see two half-naked men, one standing and the other half-lying looking at each other.

The "Kraken" is nothing, they don't know what the "black-clothed admiral" looks like, so they only care about who won the battle, and pay attention to what happened just now!?

But when the people in the other two boats saw the "black-clothed admiral" who had never shown his appearance, and he actually looked like this, they couldn't help but quarrel with each other excitedly, and soon split into two factions!

And it is actually the opposition to the "Admiral in Black" who is in the majority!

Lu Yuan didn't pay attention to it.

The two have just joined forces. Fiercely against the storm piloted by the sea god Colybuso! Estimate this all at once. It will make the sea god Colybso hate them to the bone! But does Lu Yuan care?!

He looked curiously at the appearance of the "black-clothed Admiral", first broke the silence and asked, "Han people? ”

"It's Akito!" The man replied proudly! Speaks pure Chinese. Look at what he looks like now. It's a standard Oriental man! No wonder he has always used black clothes and long hair. Cover yourself tightly! It's no wonder that after his subordinates learned the truth about the Dao, they split directly! The whites simply could not tolerate that they had been ruled by one "Indian" for so long!

They're croaking. Also because of the tangles here.

"The Ming Dynasty...... Isn't it dead? Lu Yuan found that when he communicated with the "Black-clothed Admiral", he was indeed speaking pure Chinese.

Sure enough, the "Black-clothed Admiral" first had anger in his eyes, and then some doubts, when his gaze shifted from Lu Yuan's face to his body. Seeing that Lu Yuan also had yellow skin, and the skin on his neck, the junction of white and yellow was clearly distinguished, he showed a sudden expression.

"No wonder I saw you using the Yang family gun! So you're ......," he said, lowering his voice slightly. Since Lu Yuan is disguised as a Westerner, of course he doesn't expect to be exposed and fall into the same situation as him.

"Each other, each other!" Lu Yuan hugged his fists and performed a long-unfamiliar Jianghu salute, "Wudang sword......" he said with emotion, "I haven't seen you for many years." "The swordsmanship used by the young man just now is far more powerful than the Wudang sword he has ever seen. But that's because of the difference in the foundation of the world, the Wudang swordsmanship is still the Wudang swordsmanship in the bones.

But the "black-clothed admiral" immediately raised his eyebrows and roared angrily, "Who told you that Da Ming is dead?!" With our Jinghai Lin family, who dares to say that I am a Ming! Nirvana! ”

"Oh?" Lu Yuan wiped his nose in embarrassment, thinking to himself, history, you, have changed again? "Well, actually, I've only heard of it...... By the way, do you know the way of the Jurchens? It should be the border trouble in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty, how is it now? ”

"Hehe," the man sneered indifferently, "Pu'er clan, why bother!" Seven years ago, my brother poured all his wealth into the West and bought 40,000 flamethrowers on a mercenary ship, and wiped them out in one battle! Yiqi tribe! The man said proudly!

Lu Yuan nodded, and the joy was heartfelt!

He couldn't help but clench his fists and said, "In Xia Luyuan, he is also a Han Chinese, his ancestors were exiled in the South Seas, and he was brought to the Caribbean by barbarians such as the British East India Company!" Now he's preparing to build his own pirate group and turn this place upside down! Since Brother Tai is also a native of his hometown, it is better to meet thousands ......of miles away than to meet each other."

"Forget it." Before he could say the words of invitation, the man cut off apologetically, "My brother is strict, and this time I still steal it...... Ahem, I came out to practice alone. In Xialin Beiyuan, since he was defeated, of course he had to go back to accept his brother's teachings, and he had no face to continue to mess around in the Caribbean...... "Thinking of what that stupid brother was going to say again, "My stupid brother", I couldn't help but have blue tendons on my forehead!

Lu Yuan didn't say much, going home is a good thing after all! Especially the wanderer who is thousands of miles away from his hometown, I don't know how much Lu Dao's family misses him.

So Lu Yuan simply cleaned out the "St. Andrews", which was still in good condition, and left it to Lin Beiyuan, so that he could take the part of the people who still supported him and leave while the wind was calm now.

The two dueled, and although it became a joint "skybreaker" after reaching the end, Lin Beiyuan still lost in the end. So he simply left all his belongings, cannons and goods to Lu Yuan, and with the only remaining food and fresh water, he drifted south, and he was ready to leave!

Seeing that there was no hope, all the members of the "Elder Regiment" he left behind threw themselves into Lu Yuan's men, greatly expanding his strength!

Lu Yuan looked at the shadow of the boat that disappeared in the sky, remembered what Lin Beiyuan said to him the most, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, I really don't know what the brother in his mouth looks like, who sounds extremely smart and is abnormally second.

When Lu Yuan knew that the so-called "Ed Group" was actually the agreement between Lin Beiyuan and his brother, and the real name was "The Group of Love", he squirted out a sip of wine!!

……

"Brother Lu, when I was parting, I had to say something. In the next return to the east, my brother knows that he will return with a fleet, and he will definitely come with a fleet to find trouble with Brother Lu......" Lin Beiyuan said solemnly.

But Lu Yuan shook his head, he didn't believe it at all! Nine out of nine can't come! When I come, I may have left this world! Where to find me! "How is that possible?! Daming is thousands of miles away from here! No matter how vengeful your brother is, he won't be like this, right?

Besides, you have skin injuries all over your body, and you basically pull it out by pulling too hard. Hurry up and drink more rum while people are still in the Caribbean, and you don't have to go to Africa to heal! You can't let your daughter-in-law worry when you go home. ”

"Africa...... You mean Big Food? Never mind...... About my brother's eyes...... No, it's a careful eye, so let's give you an example. Brother Tai, do you remember the Jurchen you mentioned? Although I don't know what you said about the Ming Dynasty, you specifically mentioned the Jurchens...... But...... They had only robbed one of their brother's bad horses......"

Lu Yuan was dumbfounded.

……

"While the weather is still good, let's leave!"

Looking at the dark clouds in the sky that were about to close again, Lu Yuan piloted the "Kraken" in front, and the damaged "Barrier" followed behind.

Seeing that he was about to leave the bay, August pointed to the course ahead and said, "Strange, how can there be a ship parked there?!" ”

Lu Yuan noticed this.

In the distance, sure enough, there was a three-masted ship of Bakentine parked there strangely, as if it had crossed a storm and appeared directly there!

Seeing the "Kraken" sailing out of the port, the other party did not communicate with each other, and raised the pirate flag without hesitation!

"Holy! It's not over yet! 'Barrier' back off! We're here to fight! Lu Yuan waved his captain's hat and ordered. Then he quietly ripped off Auguste's clothes and asked in a worried whisper, "You just unloaded from the 'St. Andrews', do you remember to bring some shells here?!" ”

Before leaving, the "St. Andrews" unloaded all the cannons, cargo, etc. to the "Kraken", and now the "Kraken" is fully loaded! There are not only 20 gun emplacements on the ship, but 16-pounder guns are fully equipped! There are also the same 20 16-pounder guns to press the bottom of the silo for backup! Counting the newly added gunners, they are all elite gunners from the "St. Andrews", and the ruthless people who used to would rather capsize than gnaw on the "Kraken"!

Now the absolute strength of the soldiers!

"Left and right string artillery loading! Commanded by the gunners of the former Kraken! Lu Yuan ordered loudly! Seeing that the gunners really carried the shells out of the cabin and loaded them, everything seemed to be normal! And the gunners of the original "St. Andrews" also saw the strange shooting skills of the "Kraken" for the first time - that is, they are only responsible for loading, obeying orders to ignite, and leaving the rest to the boss!

Seeing that everything was ready, Lu Yuan felt that he must be overhearted.

But thinking of August's character of being greedy for money, he couldn't help but ask worriedly, "How many rounds of spare ammunition have you prepared this time?" ”

August proudly patted his chest and gave a thumbs up!

So Lu Yuan was even more worried, your sister, wouldn't it be just one shot per cannon! (To be continued......)
