"Do you believe him, Your Highness?" said one of the guards, all worried.

"Don't believe it!" Roland shook his head, "But I can only choose to believe him, hoping that the shining gold coin will make him keep his promise!"

"That guy is so greedy that he asked for a million gold coins! Looks like we'll have to borrow money from Queen Saiya to satisfy his ......"

"Money is valuable, but human life is priceless! As long as there are people, Dia will have hope!" Roland took one last look at the sea, and then said, "Let's go back and prepare for action!"

Captain Jack's small sampan goes around the horns of Silver Horn and plunges into the sea, and in the mist, a large group of ships appears!

They had no lights, and their dark shadows were like strange ferries on the river of pain in the underworld.

Suddenly there was a flash of light on one of the ships. It was the shimmering light of the mysterious crystal set in the staff in the shaman's hand.

"Didn't you promise to come back with gold, I didn't see any gold in your boat!"

"Damn it, you greedy guys! what I brought back is worth more than gold!" Jack cursed, and began to climb the rope nets that had been lowered from the side of the ship.

Candles lit up in the cabin, and the five pirate leaders scrambled out of their hammocks.

"Bring it!" the pirates held out their hand to Jack!

"Take your heads!" said Jack angrily, "who do you guess I met at the Silver Horn?"

"Whoever you meet, the gold you promise us must be given!

"I met Roland, Prince Dia!"

"Then why don't you kill him, his head is worth a lot of money!"

"Are you stupid?!, he's Dia's prince, or Princess Catherine's husband! Sylvia, one of the slut's maidens, has already made us anxious, and if we kill him, Catherine won't give up even if we chase him to the ends of the earth! Do you think we'll have a way to live?"

"Then you can catch him, Sylvia, and maybe he won't hunt us down again!"

"It's dark, I can't figure out if he's in an ambush or not! I had to give up digging treasure and make a deal with him!"

"What deal?"

"He asked us to help him transfer his subjects to Erathia, and in return, he promised to give us the Silver Horn......"

"Didn't he say to give money?"

"Having said that, he promised to give three thousand gold coins for each boat, a total of six hundred thousand gold coins!"

"Then we'll have 100,000 each!" the pirates' eyes lit up.

"No, it must be counted by the number of ships!" Jack immediately objected: "100,000 of you each, what about me?"

"No way, Jack, this is what you owe us!"

"I say, you despicable and shameless people, can't you fight for friendship and honor, do you have to behave like such a philistine?"

"Pull it down, Jack!" a pirate leader spat into the ground, "We're all adults, please don't talk so childish nonsense!"

"Well, you say, if we sell all these people to Clauvis, how much will he give us?"

"Maybe more! But do you know what is the saddest thing in the world? It's that the money hasn't been spent, but the people are gone!"

"With this opportunity, we can break through the blockade of the Sylvia Sea and go to the northern seas!

"She may spare us! As for Jack, she won't let you go, because you killed his father!" said one of the pirate leaders.

"Don't forget, you're involved, too!" said Jack angrily.

"Yes, but we didn't do it!"

"Why didn't you do it? Everyone stabbed him in the body!"

"When we stabbed him, you killed him! We just poked him a few times in his corpse! Stabbing a dead man, can that call it murder?"

When they think of the thrilling battle for power, the pirates still have lingering fears. If Jack hadn't drugged the wine, they might have been lying on deck!

"I said do you still have any ambition?" Jack finally broke out: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just here to fight her! I don't believe that with our two hundred boats, we can't do a single girl!"

"I heard that the thieves in the north are cold, and there are often ice floes on the sea, and if you don't get it right, the ship will be destroyed and people will die......"

"I've been in this sea for decades, and I'm familiar with every island here, and even every reef here! Even if I'm blindfolded, I won't touch the reef! If the north wants to go to you, I won't go to the north!"

"If you want to stay here, then everyone must work together to defeat Sylvia once and for all!"

"Jack, the 300,000 gold coins you promised each person can't be missing one of us!

"None of you can believe it, but I must believe what Captain Jack says!"

"I'd rather listen to a sow snort in heat than listen to your nonsense! If you don't give money, we can still kill you together!"

"Or sell you to Sylvia altogether!"

The pirate leaders laughed.

"Fuck, I swear by my honor, it's always okay, right?"

"Do you still have honor, Jack?"

"Well, if I break my oath, Poseidon will set off a monstrous wave that will send my fleet to the depths of the sea!"

After swearing such a poisonous oath, the pirate leaders spared him.

"When does Roland ask our fleet to assemble?"

"On the night of the next full moon, there should be ...... Six days!" Jack looked at the moon outside the window.

"Sylvia's fleet has been chasing us!" said one of the pirate leaders, "we need to find an ambush and fight her properly!"

"Send her to the bottom of the ocean to meet her father, so we can sleep in peace!"

"What do you think of this place?" said one of the pirates, pointing to the nautical chart.

"This place is good for ambushes, but Sylvia will definitely think of it!, in my opinion, we might as well put the battlefield here!" Jack said, gesturing to a sea area.

"Oh my God, that's the Gate of Darkness! There are undercurrents there, and there are deadly reefs and whirlpools everywhere! If you're not careful, you could shipw and die! I don't know how many ships have already been buried there!"

"It's dark and it's hard for Sylvia to spot us. We can ambush her and lead her into a trap! But we'll have to pick someone to use as bait first......"

"Then do you have to choose, Jack Sylvia will chase you like crazy as soon as she sees you!"

"Are you stupid? if I run slow down and she catches up, your gold will be lost!"

You look at me, I look at you, and finally they all look at Jack.

"Why don't we draw lots and see what Poseidon's will is!" begged Jack.

"We're not going to draw lots, Jack, you called us here, you have to take more responsibility!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"If you want to run for your life, which of us can outrun you? Jack, you don't need to be polite!"

"I'll deduct a part of your commission! You'll have to give me something to suppress the shock! I'll see, you guys give me 50,000 yuan each, how about it? If anyone doesn't agree, then he'll be used as bait to earn these gold coins!"

The pirate leaders all looked at Jack with disdain, but no one retorted.

"Then be it! Damn, I've got to have the first mate inspect all the ships at once, and there must be no leaks!"

It's dawn.

Sylvia got up early. She habitually looked behind her, where the vast Armada of the Erathia Navy was following!

Her father was the ruler of the seas, and Jack was just one of his first mates. During the time of King Geffenhardt, he led his fleet to defeat all the pirates and take them under his command. At its peak, he even had his own ports on the continents of Erathia, Dia, Eli, Baildes, and Krurod!

However, he made a fatal mistake, in order to defend Trenis, the richest port city in Erathia, he actually fought a positional battle with King Gefenhardt! Everyone in the world knows that Erathia's best thing is to fight ground warfare!

Countless trebuchets bombarded day and night, finally knocking down the high walls, and a tidal wave of warriors poured into the city to capture Sylvia's father alive.

But instead of hanging the heinous pirate, King Gfinghardt admired him. So Sylvia's father bowed to Geffenhardt and became the naval commander of Erathia!

Sylvia had been born by then, and the blood of pirates was in her veins. When she was a little older, her father sent her to the Lost Lands to cultivate.

At that time, the portal in the Lost Lands was semi-enclosed, and it was only possible to enter and exit. Sylvia was given the order to lead the fleet back to Erathia from the distant Lost Lands.

But when she returned, her father's fleet was in pieces, and he himself had been killed by Jack and the gang!

Extremely sad and indignant, Sylvia immediately inquired about what had happened. After his father defected to King Geffenhardt, the pirates led by Jack, who were accustomed to robbing everywhere, could not stand the iron discipline of the army, and finally rebelled and killed their commander!

Sylvia took in all the naval forces along the coast and took his father's old troops under his command to get a strong navy.

The rebels had a hard time! Jack's fleet was wiped out in half, and several rebels who followed him were wiped out.

"Jack, I'll definitely catch you with my own hands and hang you on the docks of Tlaneis!" Sylvia said hatefully, "I swear to Poseidon, the god of the sea!"

Her first mate walked over and accompanied her to look at the rising sun ahead.

"Did you see the stars last night? There is no land to use as a reference, we can only rely on the stars and ocean currents to determine the course!"

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander, our course is correct, I can vouch for my life!"

"Well, the wind and the currents are good for us! In this case, we will be at Silver Horn in four days!"

A few foraging seagulls flapped their wings and rested on the high rushing horn of the bow. The water was tumbling down the hull. [.]
