Edward Hugh grimaced. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He didn't believe in Luca's claims of "magic", as he knew something about the unruly pirate who wore the name "Crimson Shadow".

In his impression, it was a little liar who bragged nonsense with a face that was still passable, and a mouth full of rhetoric, and used to use those little tricks to pick up girls everywhere in various ports, and what kind of magic was just another little trick.

However, Edward Hugh really regretted that if he had killed this guy directly on Tata Island, it would have been no more difficult than stepping on an ant to death, in that case, why would he have all the trouble he has now?

But at that time, how could he have thought that this guy would let himself lose so many ships?

Edward Hugh couldn't figure out how that kid had unwittingly taken over his heavily guarded gravel island surrounded by so many ships.

In fact, he overlooked one thing, the dhow Peregrine Falcon, which had little firepower, was not dragging on the stern of the Silent Death as usual.

The night before, long before the Silent Death sailed for the decoy, Lukka and Ollie, Crete, and Nora drove the Peregrine Falcon straight to Gravel Island, passing the hapless Mouse Tail in the middle.

Of course, Cook on the Mouse Tail was unaware. If he had been sharper, he might have seen an unnatural wave rolling up beside his boat, as if some ship were speeding by.

This time, Lukka combined the second-level auxiliary spell extension range and invisibility spell, and the mana flow enveloped the entire Peregrine Falcon.

It would be perfect if even the waves on the hull of the boat could be eliminated. He was a little too greedy for the effects of the magic.

The Peregrine Falcon was unusually fast, and quietly anchored near Gravel Island before midnight.

On the west side of Gravel Island, a makeshift pier was built and was firmly guarded by a group of pirates, so Luca decided to go ashore quietly in a dinghy after some consideration.

The newly learned stun technique was very effective, and together with the crowd effect, it quietly subdued the pirates on the docks almost instantly.

I'm dizzy now, too, and Lukka is happy.

After waiting for more than an hour, the pirate craftsmen who were busy on the turret hurriedly finished it. Half an hour later, more than twenty craftsmen and a dozen guards, plus those who had been subdued on the docks, were once again tied up in the usual style of the Silent Death, neatly stacked in the open space where the building materials had been stacked.

It's just that Nora is a little depressed, her living flame is too dazzling, it is inconvenient to use in this kind of covert raid operation, and it is quite boring from the time she went ashore to the present.

"Don't worry, you'll be there to come!" Lukka comforted her as he used the mage's hand to help Ollie carry the cannonballs.

When the first rays of the morning sun fell, the Mouse Tail came into view as expected.

"Fire!" Luca personally adjusted the angle of fire and directed Nora to start shelling.

Just one mortar bombardment allowed the decoy boat to sink completely.

The three men behind the fort jumped in cheers and danced in circles. On the second lap, Lukka suddenly noticed that Crete, who was expressionless, did not join in the celebration.

"I was going to say, don't worry about that bait, the main force of the black sails is behind. Crete was a little helpless, and fired the cannonball without grabbing the men.

"Oh, you'd better hurry up. Aren't we startling the snake?" Ollie stopped celebrating.

"I've always spoken at this pace. Crete said, holding up the binoculars, "Whether this will alert Black Sail or not, it's hard to say at this time." ”

Half an hour later, Luca, who was also holding a telescope, had to admit that this impulsive shelling was indeed not very wise.

The Silent Death came to a halt three or four nautical miles from Gravel Island, and behind her, the figure of the Blacksails' main fleet gradually became clear.

A fleet of this size, not only Luca, but also Ollie and Crete were seen for the first time.

There were more than thirty warships, the smallest of which was also a C-class three-masted warship, and it was not the Carrak type with an unstable center of gravity, all of which were newly improved galleons. There are also many B-class frigates with strong firepower, and even more eye-catching is the super A-class heavy cruiser that follows far behind, which is the most feared ship in the Sunset Islands for more than 20 years.

Megalodon.

Twenty-six years ago, Edward Hugh got his first ship and named it the Megalodon, even though the dhow didn't match that name at all. Over the next twenty years, the pirate leader changed countless ships, and his command grew rapidly from a small ship to a huge pirate group.

But one thing remains the same, each of his flagships will continue to use this name.

The current Megalodon has a double-layered armored reinforced shell and a two-tier gun deck, with a full 118 huge guns lined up on both sides of the hull.

It's just that at this time, the megalodon did not join the encircled team, but just watched from a distance outside the circle. Edward Hugh did not feel the need to personally go to the front line to supervise the battle.

No matter how big the Silent Death is, it is only one ship, and in the encirclement of fourteen C-class Galen warships, seventeen B-class cruisers, and four A-class heavy cruisers that are not much different in size from the Megalodon, how many chances can there be to get out of it?

As for the fort on Gravel Island, it was built by Edward Hugh himself, and it is not clear what it is? There is no need to go into range at all, and the spike pierced in the eye can be dealt with on the surface of the sea.

For the Silent Reaper, it seemed that the only chance was to get into the protective range of those batteries.

The two squads closest to Gravel Island, apparently also receiving orders from the Leader, turned the ship slightly, and the muzzles of their guns completely covered the route between the Silent Death and Gravel Island.

Although confident in his ship, Lukka was dealing with such a large fleet. He was also a little apprehensive in his heart, now there was only Daniel on the Silent Death, and he couldn't even fire back, even if the original plan was successfully implemented, if he ate one or two shells, would there be any damage to the hull?

Under Lukka's concerned gaze, and in the expectant gaze of many of the Black Sail pirates who were "about to be done", the Silent Death restarted.

She didn't rush to the shelter of the Gravel Island Battery, but flicked her tail in place with the lightness of a ship of this size, which she didn't deserve at all, and turned around one hundred and eighty degrees.

Then, she sprinted straight for the most powerful point in the encirclement, the direction in which the Megalodon was swimming around the perimeter.
