At the beginning of March, the cold winter has passed, and most of the pirate forces in the North Ocean have joined the front against the dark invasion under the call of the former pirate king Nabar. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info On this day, the resurgence of the Goshawk Regiment commanded two large ships to sail to the Saikaido to defeat the sea ambush circle of the Judgment Arrow Regiment and welcome the arrival of the Royal Navy of Gronia.

Things went very smoothly at first, and Nabal's return moved the pirates who had served the Goshawk Pirates to join the nascent Goshawk without hesitation. However, his old rival Serwolle did not think so, under the pressure brought by the four gods in the north, Sewolle did not want to have a large-scale conflict with the Dark Order army in his own territory, and only wanted to preserve his strength and keep the contract with the four gods, but gave up many strategic points in the West Sea to Hull's Judgment Arrow Legion. In order to ensure superiority in naval warfare, Nabal followed Mirror's advice and led the fleet to Sherwale's hideout in the Western Sea Passage to negotiate with Severle.

The ruins of Black Island, not far from the main channel of the West Sea, had been reached by Ryuchen a few months earlier and had destroyed the core of Black Island, causing Black Island to lose its support point and sink into the sea, but more than half of the terrain of this volcanic island about fifteen miles in diameter was still above sea level. At dusk, the tides would rush ashore and submerge part of the terrain that had surfaced, and the humid climate and abundant water resources on the island were abundant in greenery and abundance, and Sewoller took advantage of these advantages, and took advantage of these advantages, and built a strong fortress near the extinct crater, blocking the waterway to the island with iron cables and sharp stones, as the base camp of his Flying Fish in the Western Sea.

When the Goshawk arrived at the ruins of the Black Isle, once inhabited by one of the Seven Sea Monsters, the giant shrimp man Asrovota, it had already been attacked, and Therwaler and his pirates engaged in a fierce naval battle with the Drua Order on this once sunken ruin. Due to the tense situation, Severer decided to invite Nabar's fleet to his base, and immediately opened the blockade of the sea, leading the Goshawk and other pirate ships into the large dockyard of the Black Island.

They walked along the rainforest of the Black Isle to the crater, entered the towering and sturdy hardwood castle, and at the banquet Sewolle entertained Nabal and the others, and talked about the terms of their cooperation.

"Nabal, you and I are opponents, but at this juncture, let's stop the senseless fighting, I want to ensure my supremacy in the Western Sea, if you can help me keep this sea, then all the territory of the Sea will be returned to you, what do you think?"

"If you had said this a few months ago, I would have helped you, but now, with the Goshawks allegiance to the Wings of Freedom, I would have left behind my personal ambitions to fight for the protection of our common Calradia. If you help us destroy the Arrow of Judgment legion that is defending in the West Sea, then I will protect your territory and quit the Pirate Guild from now on, and no longer compete with you for sea power. But Nabal's reply was completely beyond his imagination, and Severer did not react for a moment, and fell into deep thought.

After some careful consideration, Sewolle still decided to cooperate with Nabar, and after making an agreement, he sarcastically said: "You have fallen, the former pirate association elected you as the king of pirates in Calradia, and I always admired your strength before I replaced you, but it is a pity that you would rather join that inferior mercenary brigade than have a real battle with Lao Tzu?"

"From the moment I joined the Wings of Freedom, I have understood the principle of bearing the burden of humiliation, and since you and I have reached an agreement, there is no need to say anything more! Tomorrow gather your fleet, and we will go to war!" he reminded, and got up and left the meeting room in Several.

Back in the castle hall, Nabal felt relieved that he had calmed down the Sewolle and the pirates, and walked to the rest place to rest in peace, but the mirror was waiting for him at the door of his bedroom.

"Ah, have you negotiated?"

"Do you think I'm not a good negotiator? Of course it's settled, and tomorrow three or four pirate ships will join us, and then a little white face like you will be able to experience a bloody naval battle for yourself, look forward to it!"

Nabal's face was full of excitement, and Kagami didn't want to ruin his interest, but on the cusp of the storm, he still reminded: "Isn't it too simple to think?, as an observer, I have traveled through various planes, and witnessed countless epic battles, in such wars, you must not trust any enemy, not to mention that he is only using you and your men to protect his territory, isn't it?"

"Sewolle used to be the second-in-command of the Pirate Guild, and he was hostile to me, but the reason why he did everything to keep his territory is only known to me and Victor, a few months ago, Ryuchen and Shenmu of the Four Gods visited Sewolle's hideout and made a pact with him, and demanded that his Flying Fish Party maintain all the seas along the West Sea and the North Continent for ten years, if he can't do it, he will definitely be punished very badly, which is probably the reason why Severle depreciates himself. So, no matter how much hypocrisy and deception you have seen, as a person who has been a bystander, you can't see through people's hearts. ”

"Oh, I was rejected! What you blame is that I shouldn't be suspicious, since that's the case, I won't bother too much, and I'm out of company~" Speaking of this, Jing knew that he was at a loss and turned to leave, but Nabal stopped him.

"I've been a brother for so long, and I recently learned that you like to play chess, so how about a game?"

"It's an honor~" Kagami smiled and nodded, the night was already late, and Sewolle's true thoughts could only be known the next day, just waiting for the time to pass by minute by second.

The next day, a total of seven large ships and nearly 600 sailors of the Goshawk Regiment and the Flying Fish Party set sail from Black Island, and the Goshawk was still their flagship. A strong westerly wind blew in the air, and the fleet of the pirate coalition sailed at full speed to the most desirable ambush site in the Western Sea, the only way for Dabaran to reach Calradia, the Ingres Islands, which are rumored to be inhabited by fog demons.

Located in the middle of the Western Sea, the Angel Islands are a paradise for sea monsters, that is, one of the legendary Seven Sea Monsters, the lair of the giant jellyfish Furneus, it is said that it cannot be seen by the naked eye when it is in the sea, and once it rises to the surface, it will transform into a giant plankton the size of a large ship, with tentacles enough to sting metal, and the air currents expelled from its body turn into a thick fog, enveloping the entire island group, so it is also called the fog demon. Because the Dark Order Army has set a trap in the area where the prehistoric monsters live, indicating that the monsters have been awakened and tamed by the Drua Army, this is the inexplicable dense fog that appears in the channel through the islands.

When the former commander of the Royal Navy of Gronia, Julius, a young knight commander belonging to the Order of Dogs, arrived in the Ingres Islands with his leading troops, he was faced with the white fog seeping from the shipping line, and he was experienced in combat to perceive the danger of this place, and he planned to bypass this seemingly ordinary archipelago, but he was worried about the danger of the friendly forces that came later, so he decided to drop anchor in place and wait for the arrival of the Royal Navy's large forces, the pirate ship carrying the Goshawk Banner and the Exocet Fish Banner is about to arrive here to fight the Judgment Arrow Legion.

Time flies, it is almost dusk in a blink of an eye, the sunset descends from the clouds, slowly disappearing into the place where the sea meets the sky, at this moment, with the afterglow of the setting sun, the shadows of seven pirate ships faintly appear on the horizon, and the pirates have successfully arrived around the Ingres Islands.

The deck of the leading Goshawk is full of new faces that have never been acquainted, but among these crews, the figures of the two people are particularly obvious, Samuel, who led the sailors to be busy on the deck, and the former first mate Lemuel is still the helmsman of the Goshawk.

At this time, Nabal was hastily using a telescope to observe the islands in front of him, the news of the enemy's ambush here was provided by the four gods to the Holy Sect, and then Melva passed the news to Zenda, the mirror had doubted the accuracy of the news many times, but now that it had reached the vicinity of the destination, no matter how accurate the news came from, he had to explore this place.

"It's so quiet, it's creepy, before I turned against Sewolle, we used to plunder merchant ships in this area between Calradia and Dabaran, but today this calm is indeed fabricated, this place is very dangerous, we must brace ourselves and take the initiative to find them!"

After explaining the anomalies to the pirates around him, Nabal finally decided to use the Goshawk as bait to rush into the suspicious places between the islands, try to lure the ambush of the Arrow of Judgment out, and then work with the follow-up forces to wipe out the enemy, but then the mirror came to warn him again.

"If you are in prison, do you expect Sewolle to fight for you? At this time, it is even more important to let down his guard against the rear and let his Exocet go with him, so as to eliminate the possibility of him turning back before the battle. ”

"You have a point, but I believe that guy, he at least has dignity! Needless to say, hoist the sails! Even if there is a deadly death trap ahead, we will not be afraid, let them see the courage of the man of the sea!"

Nabal accepted the mirror's opinion, but still believed in his choice, and under his orders, Samuel and his lieutenants raised the three mainsails to the mast, the Goshawk sailed forward with the wind, and the subsequent ships understood the task of the flagship, and sailed to several passable waterways around the islands, preparing to flank the lured Dark Legion.

"Follow you, I have little time to observe, then?"

"I don't care where you're from, but I believe you're a man of flesh and blood, and at this time, it's time to find the answer you want in battle, pick up your sword, and we'll be on guard!"

Seeing that he was about to reach his destination, Nabal hurriedly handed over a short sword to Kagami, and he directed the pirates to place heavy weapons on both sides of the ship - extremely destructive siege crossbows, combined with multiple ballistas on the lower deck to guard against the enemy's heavy ships. In addition, several snipers armed with muskets were also placed on the new lookout platform on the heights, and the idle sailors on the deck also carried their bows and crossbows, just waiting for the moment when the enemy was lured out.

In just a few minutes, the Goshawk sailed into a waterway that was only a dozen meters long, just enough for large ships to pass, and everything on both sides was covered by dense fog, and visibility was almost zero. The Goshawk sailed to a fork in the haze, and the hull shook violently in the haze, as if it had run aground. In the midst of the chaos, the crew feared the foggy environment, and there was still a deathly silence around them, except for the sound of the tide at dusk and the cries of seagulls as they returned to their nests.

"What floats with the crucian carp and swings away with the river shrimp is not the green aquatic plants, nor the fluttering catkins. In the dead silence, the mirror suddenly came out with such a sentence.

"It's blood, it's flesh, it's the flesh and blood of the soul of man who has lost his life. Who said these people came naked? they came with the hearts and minds of their parents, and they carried the hope of a new life!" Nabal seemed to know the purpose of the mirror, and pandered to the next sentence.

When the surrounding crew heard this, they immediately remembered the poems they had heard from the troubadours when they were young, and they all put aside their fears and read them aloud together, although the pirates' pronunciation was not standard, and even often made mistakes, but the loud recitation was enough to shake the silence around them, and let the crew's minds gain some peace.

"You're going to break the boat, you actually thought of me in front of me, anyway, we have run aground, wake up the sea monsters that inhabit here, and use them to find out the hidden enemies around, why didn't I think of it!" At the moment when the crew finished reading a passage of "Hold on to this place" in unison, Nabal suddenly realized that he regrouped the sailors, prepared to defend the hull of the ship and drive the sea monsters to make them flee in all directions, thus harassing the ambush soldiers.

A moment later, a large number of fish-men surfaced and approached the Goshawk under the cover of a thick fog, but Nabal had deployed sentinels in advance, and as they approached, the ship fired random arrows, and these fish-men of different colors died and fled, and some of them just fled to the suspicious shore.

Their ploy did work, but the rampaged fish-men didn't draw out the hidden enemy at all, they were only killed by random arrows in the thick fog, and at first thought it was just an ordinary stranding, but at this point Nabal and Kagami also felt that something was wrong.

"Something doesn't seem right...... The fishmen should be dead by now, but we can't pinpoint the enemy's position, and ...... And it's not like it's grounded, the water around is smooth, the ship hasn't lost power, it's just that something has forced the Goshawk to stay where it is, and if I'm not mistaken, we're in big trouble!"

At the last moment, when Nabal had found out the truth, and before he could say anything, he immediately gave the order for the sailors to leave the ship's side, and at the same time ordered the sails to be lowered, and the crew on the lower deck were ready to use long oars to escape from the trap by manpower.

"You don't mean the sea monster when you say big trouble, I did my homework before I went on the road, it seems that there are legendary giant plankton sleeping here, it's really worth observing!"

"I don't want to scare you, in the legends of the pirates, the most terrifying sea monsters are undoubtedly the seven sea monsters under the rule of the female sea witch, namely the sea demon snake - Bermangaard, the ice monster - Rahbud Lucas, the sea witch - Brachuura, the human face shrimp - Asrovota, the hydra snake - Hydra, the core of the drowning soul - Ticarabia, the fog demon - Verneus, this island group is the habitat of the fog demon, judging from the current environment, the sleeping giant jellyfish has been awakened by the dark army......"

After a long time, the sailors of the Goshawk shook the oars with all their might, but the hull of the ship remained as if it had been sucked in by something, and in desperation, Nabal ordered some of the flint and strong yellow phosphorus powder from the cabin to be loaded into barrels and thrown into the water around the ship, while he took a longbow and pulled the string.

"Do you need fire?" Mirror took a strip of rag and made a simple rocket, lit it, and handed it to Nabal.

"You guy, you really make me very embarrassed...... Hah, no matter, see how I shake the demons in the water!!" He took his bow and arrow at the barrel on the surface of the water, and slowly released the bowstring.

Where the arrow arrived, the barrel was pierced by the rocket, and the flames ignited the explosives in the barrel, instantly triggering a small explosion, splashing up several meters high, the impact of the explosion was transmitted to the water, and the strong vibration made the goshawk shake violently again, and instantly broke away from its original position, and was washed to the shore of the fork in the road by the sudden current, this time it was really stranded on the shallows.

At this time, the sailors on the deck had no time to care about the extent of the damage to the ship, so they just stared at the position where the Goshawk had just docked, and there was a huge movement under the water, and an almost transparent giant mushroom-shaped object slowly surfaced from the water, the size of the two Goshawks in one, and the reason for its floating was some squirming up and down, almost colorless tentacles, and it was obvious that the Goshawk was being dragged in place by its tentacles just now.

"What are you looking at, why don't you shoot it quickly!?" Nabal forced his composure and ordered his archers to release their arrows, and for a moment a rain of arrows shot from the deck, and the magic jellyfish in the air were shot like hanging sandbags.

Under the rain of arrows, Verneus's transparent body cracked, and in order to avoid evaporation in the atmosphere, its internal structure changed, and the surrounding fog was instantly sucked back into its body, and the jellyfish's body became more massive, and the surrounding fog also dispersed.

After regaining a wide field of view, Nabal discovered that heavy troops had been deployed along the banks of the three forks, and that the Goshawk had crushed all the dark soldiers lying in ambush at the current docking point when it ran aground, so that he did not die in the enemy swarm. But at this time, the other dark detachments had relocated to the Goshawk's position, and several teams of knights charged the Goshawk from the island, and the archers on both sides continued to launch fierce long-range attacks on the place, while Fernaeus took advantage of the goshawk's battle with the ambush to sneak away.

"Quick! Send a signal to the outlying troops!We are in dire need of reinforcements!!" Under the rain of arrows, Nabar and his pirates could barely make their way forward, and several brave sailors braved the rain of arrows to reach the bow of the ship, blew a replica of the Chanda's horn placed on the Goshawk, and fired signal arrows into the air.

The loud sound of the trumpet reached the ears of General Julius outside the Ingres Islands, and the spark signal generated by the signal arrow was detected by the pirate legion, and when the Goshawk was in a bitter battle, Nabar and the others were hanging by a thread, the two commanders gave the order to attack, and the Royal Navy of Gronia sailed into the archipelago from the west, and the pirates entered in batches from the multiple entrances on the right according to the plan, and rushed to the attack position of Nabar at full speed.
