Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Show of Loyalty

The first lookout to notice the anomaly was also the first to suffer misfortune, and before the poor lad could warn the crew, he was enveloped in a gust of pale green powder that drifted by the wind, followed by a desperate croaking of frogs and a "snap" from a fall. Pale green blood and a few pieces of flesh splashed on the sailors working near the lookout, and even one of the sailors was just singing the climax of the boat song, and the filthy flesh fell directly into his mouth. This is followed by a concerto of vomiting and frightened sounds. There were no frogs in the sea, and even if they were, they would never fall from the sky to the deck and fall to their deaths, and when the other sailors looked blankly overhead, they saw empty lookout baskets and some figures riding on broomsticks.

"Witch!" I don't know who started shouting, and then a throwing knife dropped from the air made him shut his mouth completely. When the rest of the sailors saw the tragic condition of their companions, the courage that had just sprung up in their hearts disappeared in an instant, and they realized that they were not the masters of this sea and the land beneath it, but that these people who flew in the sky were.

The captain, who was standing behind the helm, witnessed this, and he was actually the second of them all to discover the witch. He wisely didn't make any noise. In fact, the thought of running away took over the old sailor's mind the moment he saw the witch, but it was only another moment that the thought was dispelled. The reason is simple, he thinks that in this vast sea, as a human being, he has no chance of escaping the witches. In that case, then we can only try to negotiate.

"Honorable and beautiful ladies, why do you want to hurt my crew?" shouted the captain, who took off his hat and buckled it to his chest, as he slowly descended the high platform to his crew. His actions calmed down the panicked sailors, who gathered around their captain and bowed their heads in a humble manner. In fact, they were talking quickly in sign language out of sight of the witches. The conversation was about how to deal with these uninvited guests. As the first mate, the strong man carefully raised his eyes and looked at the women in the air who were riding on broomsticks and wearing wide-brimmed hats, and he keenly noticed that some witches were obviously farther away from the ship, and some of those witches had obvious signs of injury.

But the first mate realized that it didn't mean that the captain could, and for the old sailor, he didn't have time to care where the witches came from. Fortunately, after killing the first two sailors, the witches' bloodthirsty desires were vented, and the leader of them lowered his altitude slightly, and looked condescendingly at the old sailor with a mouth full of rotten teeth with blue eyes as blue as the sea. "This is a no-sail zone, and if you're someone from Heartbreaker's Bay, you should know about it. ”

The captain immediately showed a mixture of horror and bewilderment, and shook his head like a rattle, and explained, "The god of the sea is above! I didn't know we sailed into your waters! Oh my God, it must have been the low tide that swept us in! We have absolutely no offense! Please give us a chance, dear lady! I swear to my boat, and I will leave at once with these fools!" These few words, combined with subtle tremors and constant cold sweat, interpret the image of a reckless captain who mistakenly created a forbidden area without flaws.

But where is the witch so easy to deceive? The witch with dark blue eyes has a sneer on the corner of her mouth, she is not a young witch like Kiri Peg, and her experience and experience make her extremely difficult to coax. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have led the team to attack the Sharktooth Siren's forces with a very small number of them. So she didn't need any evidence at all, and she knew what the people on board were thinking when she first saw the ship.

The captain who ventured his way through the witch's backyard in order to capture the first landing was not the first, nor would he be the last. "Oh, that's bad luck, Mr. Captain. It's just too bad. And I don't think you're in luck, isn't it? judging by the draught of your ship and the people on board, you didn't make any money at low tide, and you were a waste of your boat. As far as I know, such three-masted sailing ships can only be built in our shipyards, and only one or two of them are sold out every year with the addition of old ships.

Captain Gollum swallowed with difficulty, wishing he could choke to death if he could. These damn witches knew them all too well, whether it was seafaring knowledge or the situation in the city, the witch colonies didn't need any informants or intelligence agencies to know everything. So he knew that his rhetoric might not work in front of this witch. But what if it doesn't work? There is never a second end for breaking into the forbidden area, what the hell is he going to do to avoid it?

Unlike the captain, who is desperately trying to figure out how to survive, as the temporary leader of this witch squad, the blue-eyed witch also has her own plans. The losses in this battle greatly exceeded the witches' expectations due to the stubborn resistance of the huntress Jaquia, and the responsibility for this casualty naturally did not fall on the head of the great witch, so in order to reduce the punishment for her command mistakes, she couldn't wait to be able to make up for it. Supporting an agent who has enough power to speak in Heartless Bay may be a good choice, especially in today's situation with the Krakens that is gradually confusing, it is naturally not difficult to rely on the power of witches alone to defend Heartless Bay, but in order to really deal a heavy blow to those fishmen, the mortal fleet is also necessary.

That being said, the witch had no intention of letting the captain go. It is said that a fish that has been caught once will become more shrewd, and the same is true for people, although the captain meets the expectations of witches in terms of ability, but from his ability to forcibly calm down and control his subordinates, it proves that he is not a pawn who will be willing to be at the mercy of others. That's not good enough, the witches want soldiers who obey orders, and the only thing they don't need is to worry about the thoughts of these ordinary people when fighting the Kraken. By contrast, the one with his turban and one ear missing from the crowd of seamen would have been more suitable, and judging by his performance and the rest of the crew, this man should have been the ship's second-in-command, and this strong man, who was usually more accustomed to solving problems with violence, would have been a more suitable pawn than the current captain.

Having made up her mind, the witch spoke again, "Well, we're not being unreasonable. According to the rules of you sailors, everything on board must be ordered by the captain. Therefore, only one person is responsible for your strayed entry into the forbidden area this time. Now, sailors of Heartbreaker, it's time to show the Witch Order your loyalty. ”
