Chapter 187: Nabal
At the moment when they had hidden, a super-bright light erupted from above, lasted only a few seconds, and then disappeared under the night sky, along with the diamond dust in the sky, and everything returned to its original appearance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Info Nabal and Sewolle crawled out from under the canvas, the wet sails had been steamed dry in an instant, and the corpses everywhere had been mummified by the loss of water, and the sailors escaped by narrowly, pushing away the dried corpses and standing up, declaring that they knew nothing about what had happened a moment before.
Furneus had disappeared, evaporating under the power of the mirror, and Nabal said to himself with a puzzled face, "The mirror...... This guy who looks weak is so strong, the sea monster is dead, where did he go...... Did he disappear too?"
"He really did it...... I've heard some rumors about this guy when I'm making waves at sea, and he does have great power, but I really don't understand how he exterminated the sea monster......" Severler replied, saying he didn't understand.
Nabal was enlightened at this moment, and he had already understood the means of the mirror, and explained to Severle and his crew: " As for the last sentence of the mirror, if those glass shards can be reflected, then the ultra-high-density fragments that are enough to envelop the entire sailboat, coupled with the countless fragments in the almost transparent body of Furnius, are equivalent to using countless mirrors to reflect the light, and the coordinates of the concentrating light are in the body of Furnius in the center of space, once a beam of sunlight shines into it from the outside, the diamond dust in tens of billions will reflect the light infinitely, and its intensity should reach the range of being surrounded by sunlight at a short distance, and the Furneus in it will evaporate from the inside out in an instant...... I didn't expect that a person like him, who was accustomed to standing aside and seeing the last, would choose to sacrifice himself to save his companions......"
"We'll take it to heart...... It is not difficult to hear from his words that he is still alive, so let's pray for him later, and get out of this place of right and wrong quickly......"
They pondered motionlessly on the deck for a quarter of an hour or so, and Severer finally couldn't bear to remind him, and Nabal woke up from his confusion, it turned out that during their daze, Lemuel brought more than a dozen surviving sailors on the Goshawk, and the sailors on several other sailing ships that were not in good condition also chose to abandon ship, and took the lifeboat to the last two sailing ships in good condition, after some rest, the pirate army still had three large ships left, although the number of wounded far exceeded the healthy sailors, but they still had enough manpower to ensure their normal combat strength, and were ready to march again。
"Nabal...... Samuel He ...... He didn't make it through, he chose to stay behind to cover our escape, and now I'm afraid it's too bad luck......" As the Exocet set sail, Lemuel came to Nabal, regretting his best friend's decision.
"I've been a brother for more than ten years, and if it were normal, I would definitely kill him and save him, but the current situation is not something we can change...... Mourn for him later, cheer up, and let us rush out of the ambush circle and go to the ocean to meet the friendly forces of Gronia!" he felt a little sad, but his strong heart made him make the right decision to take the matter first. At his command, the three remaining pirate ships raised their sails again and sailed to the area where the Gronya navy was located, taking advantage of the howling westerly wind of the night.
After that, the pirates successfully connected with the Gronya Royal Navy Striker, and after learning what happened to the pirates, Julius promised to repair the ship for the pirate group, but Hull and her Judgment Arrow ambush suddenly attacked from the darkness, and three Drua warships equipped with heavy weapons were suddenly killed, and the Gronya warships equipped with artillery were also quickly defeated under the attack of the Druas siege crossbows and catapult machines, and more than half of the 500 men lost more than half of the forwards, and several warships sank into the dark sea forever, leaving only blood and fire to coexist on this sea。
Perhaps the life of the Light is not to be extinguished, at the moment when Rear Admiral Julius's battleship was about to be sunk, several fully armed multi-masted galleons rushed out of the rear of the Dark Order Army, and on board were the snow leopard battle flags of the Kingdom of Vegia, and one of the large sailing ships with a giant eagle beak on the bow fluttered a mysterious flag that had never appeared among the Vigian nobles, only to see a black skeleton embroidered on the white cloth, and a giant eagle was above it, symbolizing the high status of its owner. When they were close enough to the Dark Army, there was no warning, and there was no room for mediation, the galleons were lit with fire, countless Vigian archers lit the arrow oil smeared on the cone-head arrows, several ships fired thousands of rockets in a row, and the overwhelming fire illuminated everything in the western island group, and after several rounds of rocket attacks, Hull finally gave the order to retreat, even the most proficient long-range strike troops in the Drua Order had to avoid three points in the face of Vigia's world-shattering bow and arrow tactics, and the fire-burning Arrow of Judgment battleship left in a hurry after dropping nearly a hundred corpses, Julius and Nabal, Severle, and the others managed to escape, and ordered the shattered ships to move on, ready to meet the commander of the Vigian Army who had saved them.
The Vigians behaved very naturally, as if they had known that this ambush would take place, and the Vigian sailors in naval costume received orders to join the Gronian flagship and the Exocet at the same time, and the three were able to board the command ship of the Vigians, and met with the commander of the Vigian Navy in the captain's room.
"Drua, it's disappointing that the best of your best can't compete with my Eagle Wind, isn't it?Gronya, captains of the Pirate Guild, please take a seat. The old captain took off the tricorn hat on his head, untied the ponytail that had been tied tightly at the back of his head, but felt that his image was not suitable for the reception, and hurriedly put the hat on.
"I'm Julius Kross, Rear Admiral of the Royal Navy of Gronia, and these two are ......"
Seeing that the captain was very concerned about etiquette, Julius brushed his beard, brushed the dust off his coat, and took the initiative to stand up and introduce him to the two pirate captains who were traveling with him. Nabal, the leader of the Goshawk Pirates, based in Wakakai, formed the scattered pirates into the Flying Fish Party after the Great Purge (in 1255, the Hokkaido pirates were flooded and seriously threatened the inhabitants of the Nord coast, and were wiped out by the Nord army and bounty hunters under the arbitration of King Ragnar). You know, Gronian, I knew these two boys before they made their fortunes. ”
Nabal and Severle were confused by the man's words, and when they looked closely at his exuded countenance, they could not help but be taken aback, and shouted in disbelief, "Captain Huck Bullard!!"
"It's Sir Brad, or El Bradboye, juniors. The old captain, known as Brad, emphasized.
In fact, this deeply hidden Virgian noble captain is not only an old acquaintance of Nabal and Several, but also the successor to the title of the pirate Sir Hugh Gerard hundreds of years later, the leader of the mysterious pirate guild, and the man whom Nabal and Severaler once admired immensely.
Julius was confused when he heard this, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and took the initiative to ask: "Lord Boyer, in the archives of the Gronya, the Kingdom of Virgia on the continent of Calradia does not have the combat power of the navy, why did you travel a long distance away from the war-torn Calradia to the center of the Western Sea?"
"Lord Julius, I'm fifty-two years old, and I must be nearly half a hundred years old, right?" I don't think you know how the current king of Virgia, Yarogerk, came to the throne, right?" asked Captain Brad tentatively.
"About thirty years ago, as a student at the military academy, I had already heard about the succession of the kingship of Calradia, and it was with the help of three of his cronies, Erbrad and Obragu, Mira, who occupied the cities of Wocheze, Zhivacheze, and Kudan, and had a heavy army, that Yarogark was able to defeat his brother from the War of Succession to the throne...... Wait!you're Brad of the Nest!" Julius suddenly realized, but on closer thought it wasn't worth his surprise, and he just smiled and walked away.
The captain sighed and said lightly: "Twenty-eight years ago, my wife passed away after giving birth to her young son, and the anger of the opponents in China against the three of us has intensified, so I have no choice but to entrust my flesh and blood to my best friend. What happened next was as you have heard, Mira spent her life in the church of Zhivacheze, Oblag died at the hands of the bounty killer, only I escaped overseas, joined the Pirate Guild under the alias Huck, and in less than ten years I sat in the position of the leader of the Pirate Guild from a privateer captain in Viggia, and in less than ten years, the Virgian homeland needed me again, and Yarogark did not disappoint me, and handed over to me all the eight hundred and fifty archery masters in the Snow Leopard Fortress, as well as the two hundred most elite noble guards in the fortress, plus all the information in the sea area controlled by the Pirate Guild could be handed over to meComing here to reinforce you is just something I'm planning. ”
When Nabal heard the captain's story, he laughed out loud and said wildly, "Old fellow, you came here on the Pirate Guild's strongest Eagle Wind to save us two waste......rs?"
As he spoke, Nabal actually left tears in his eyes, obviously having lost so many companions in one day, and also lost his most important thing, the iron-clad man could not bear it any longer.
At this point, the old captain patted Nabal's shoulder and comforted him: "Although the Goshawk was destroyed, it did not sleep at the bottom of the sea, I believe in the ability of the Pirate Guild, it won't be long before the Goshawk will be reborn and sail on the ocean again!"
"The Goshawk is more than a ship to me, it carries so many memories, and the wreckage of the Goshawk has something significant stored in it, and now I need your help......"
"It's a trivial matter, and I'll make the fleet turn eastward. Also, Lord Julius, we intend to rest in the Angelles for a while, repair the damaged ships, and wait here for your follow-up troops, if there is no objection, we are ready to hit the road!" As Brad had promised him, Nabal decided to go to the goshawk's grounding in search of some valuable items, and the captain agreed to his offer, and made an offer to camp in place.
"I have no opinion, as a vanguard, my fleet is about two days ahead of Admiral Atros's fleet, but I'm not sure that the Dark Knights will only set this trap......" Julius was very worried about the itinerary of the follow-up troops, and worried that the Arrow of Judgment would not stop there.
"Don't worry, while we are sitting here chatting, the Dark Order has already filled our eyes and ears near the fortress on Minella Island, as soon as there is a new movement in the Dark Order Navy, it will immediately send carrier pigeons to convey the news to me, as for the warband called the Arrow of Judgment, don't worry that they will make big waves, how can a small fleet of a few hundred people be compared to the two thousand elites of the Royal Navy of Gronia, Your Excellency is too worried. ”
The old captain calmed the very restless Julius, and at dawn, the mighty Eagle Wind and the fleet full of Vigea's elite docked on the central island of the Ingres island group, and after settling down, the captain sent people to repair the sailing ships of Severer, Julius and others, and let the military doctor treat the sailors' injuries.
Eventually, he lent Nabal a lifeboat and told him that the wreck of the Goshawk was about a mile to the northwest, and Nabal thanked the captain and took Lemuel aboard the ship and rowed to the location of the Goshawk.
