Chapter 205: The Sacred Sea (Fifth Update)
The next morning, Andy heard a noise coming from the deck, he looked at the lounge, Anna and Margaret were huddled, the quilt was kicked somewhere, two pairs of white long legs were entangled with each other, Margaret put her head on Anna's chest, and slept soundly.
"She's not going to be suffocated......
Andy thought maliciously, and he closed the door to the break room, making sure that the noise outside wouldn't wake the two of them.
"What's going on?"
Andy walked out of the captain's room and found that a large number of pirates had gathered on the deck, and his heart sank, and it seemed that something had happened.
"Captain ......"
When the pirates saw Andy come out, they gathered around one by one, and Andy waved his hand and looked at Bibab.
Bibab's current status is the first mate, and he is the most suitable person to report to Andy.
"There are some situations ahead, but it's hard to say...... It's up to you to decide. ”
With a heavy face, Bibab led Andy to the railing, where several sailboats could be seen in the distance.
"Where's the lookout?"
Andy looked back, and a pirate on the mast lookout waved at Andy.
"Boss, there are three naval galleons in front of you, and two merchant ships!" the lookout rubbed his dry eyes, and he shouted to Andy with some excitement, "but there seem to be two more ships behind them, they should be pirate ships!"
"What kind of sailing ships are those three naval ships?"
"Looks like a three-masted man!"
The lookout squinted his eyes for a moment, and then said affirmatively.
Andy nodded thoughtfully, looked at the sea in the distance, and fell into deep thought.
The merchant ship guarded by three three-masted naval vessels must have something very valuable on it, and of course, it is also possible that the forces to which these two merchant ships belong have a very good relationship with the Roman Imperial Navy, or that a large merchant has paid to hire the Imperial Naval Force.
The merchant ship and the naval ship were followed by two pirate ships, and it was supposed that the greedy pirates were attracted, but they did not dare to act easily because they were not sure.
However, even if Andy's Black Fantasy joins it, it will be useless, after all, the two merchant ships must be armed merchant ships, and the real battle is equivalent to facing five ships of the other party.
Generally, the three-masted naval ship will have its own sea beast, and the admiral will usually be equipped with magic weapons, which means that the strength of the guard is very strong, and it can even easily take out Andy's Black Fantasy.
And Andy didn't know if the two pirate ships had sea beasts or magic weapons, they only dared to follow the merchant ships from a distance, obviously because they were unwilling, so they had to wait for other opportunities.
"Can the naval ships of the Roma Empire go to the waters of other empires?"
Andy thought for a moment and asked Bibab.
"Probably not, but this is the Endless Sea, so there's no problem, if you follow them...... Naval vessels are to leave before they reach the waters of other countries. ”
Andy knew what Bibab meant, but no one knew what their purpose was, so it would be a waste of time to follow behind.
"Turn the sails around them. ”
After Andy thought everything clearly, he opened his mouth and said, he was not very interested in plundering, and he would not be soft when he met the lamb, in order to give an explanation to this ship full of pirates, Andy's advantage is that he will not be carried away by greed, and he will rush forward when he can't see the situation clearly.
Bibab didn't say anything, he took a few steps back, ran up to the bow of the ship, and took the helm from the helmsman's hand.
The pirates, on the other hand, were a little disappointed, apparently with the idea of catching up on the big deal.
But on the Black Fantasy, Andy's words are ironclad, and they must obey them.
"Alas, it's a pity. ”
The pirates sighed and returned to their places.
The direction of the Black Fantasy was adjusted, and the Black Fantasy, which was supposed to pass by those ships, was already more than ten nautical miles away by the time it reached the same level as the merchant ships.
Andy stood by the railing, and he could vaguely see the straight Roma Imperial sailors in red and white uniforms standing on the three naval ships.
The two pirate ships were obviously not in time to take care of the Black Fantasy, they followed the merchant ships and the naval ships from a distance, and did not seem to be afraid of the naval ships suddenly turning back and giving them a fatal blow.
"Look at their flags!"
Andy called Andler and said, pointing to the flags of the two pirate ships.
Andler squinted his eyes with a hint of surprise, "They're ...... A pirate ship belonging to the same faction!"
The flags on the two pirate ships were exactly the same, both with a black background and a strange blood-colored skull embroidered on them, and underneath this flag were two different flags, which were supposed to represent each of them.
"The same pirate forces ......"
Andy showed a really such expression, he knew what this meant, there are many pirates in order to enhance their strength, they will choose to form an alliance and form a pirate group, but such a pirate group fights separately, not very united.
There are also some pirate kings because of their strong strength, there will be countless pirates to come to take refuge, and the pirate king is not short of gold, can build more sailing ships to house these sailors, thus forming a huge force, just like the legendary pirate king Xiaofeng who controls the entire South China Sea, he has dozens of three-masted pirate ships, compared to the force, David Jones is not his opponent.
Because the Storm Sea is too small, and the power of the Imperial Navy is very strong, there is no united pirate force, because as long as there are pirates who have the intention of uniting, they will be cleaned up by the Imperial Navy.
"It looks like those merchant ships are being targeted by the pirates. ”
Andy chuckled, this is also the benefit of the pirate group, the average pirate will never dare to do anything to three naval ships and two merchant ships, but the pirate group is different, everyone goes together, and says the rules of sharing the spoils in advance, and many pirates are also happy.
"It's a good thing I didn't follow, who knows how many pirate ships are waiting in front......"
Andler muttered, relieved as he watched the ships get farther and farther apart.
"Alright, don't think about that, I think we're already there, go tell Bibab to find the nearest smaller pirate port, and get acquainted with the situation of the Roman Empire first. ”
Andler nodded and ran to Bibab.
Andy took a deep breath, the flavor of the sea here is not the same as the Storm Sea, and there are some differences from the Endless Sea, unlike the fierceness and wildness of the Storm Sea, the sea breeze here is unusually gentle.
"The Sacred Sea has finally arrived!"
