The terrain of the El continent is very peculiar, compared to other worlds, it is either a whole continent, if it is scattered into several continents.

This mysterious origin of the world is now only connected by a narrow mountain range across the two continental shelves, this mountain is between the Holy Del Empire and another great empire, the Storm Empire, and also serves as a buffer between the two countries, the Holy Jorgen Mountains, the outside world has been rumored that there is actually another country in the depths of this mountain range thousands of kilometers, but this rumor has never been confirmed, in fact, I am afraid that even the royal families of the Holy Del Empire and the Storm Empire themselves do not know whether this rumor is true。 Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, to be honest, even if the overall strength of the Eastern Continent is higher than that of the Western Continent, but when it comes to the vastness of the territory and the complexity of the situation, the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent are actually not comparable, according to the most authoritative world map published by the Explorers Association three hundred years ago, the overall area of the Eastern Continent is only two-thirds the size of the Western Continent, and even if these two-thirds of the miles, almost a quarter of it is occupied by the Doomsday Volcanic Mountains that stand in the southernmost part of the Eastern ContinentThis Doomsday Volcanic Mountain Range was also mentioned earlier, it was the largest mountain range in the Third Age El, and it was the starting point of the entire world's civilization.

But not many people know the secret yet.

Compared with the situation of the western continent with many countries, the political environment of the eastern continent is much cleaner, and the essence of the land is that the storm empire in the north and the Dan Renzas empire in the south are divided between the two superpowers, and the center of the two countries is a narrow plain, about the size of two or three principalities, known as the "shepherd's wilderness" It is said that it is the place where the founder of the Church of the Light, one of the three major religions in the Eastern Continent, Pope Nalul Lites realized the true meaning of the Holy Light, and it is also the entrance to the most mysterious dark region, so it was deliberately divided by the royal families of the two countries as a buffer zone and religious symbol.

However, it is said to be inhabited by a large number of persecuted remnants who have nowhere to go, and it is probably one of the large gathering points of the remnants in the Eastern Continent.

And the main enemy of the two great human empires in the Eastern Continent is the demon army from the Doom Volcano, which is different from those foreign demons summoned by Elivan, these guys are native destroyers of this world, and their origin is said to be a spatial rift directly below the Doomsday Volcano that connects to the lower realm, and almost countless ordinary demons gush out of it every second, so in the case of not being able to close the spatial rift, these demons are basically inexhaustible.

And when the human empire is unlucky, often some powerful demon lords will also climb in along these spatial rifts, and at that time, it is often the outbreak of a new war, at this time, the army of the storm empire and the army of the Dan Renzas empire will converge to fight against the cunning and powerful enemy, and such a scene basically happens every ten to twenty years, in short, it is not that the powerful eastern kingdom is unwilling to interfere in the affairs of the western continent, and just resisting the invasion of these demons has already restrained them too much。

Of course, in addition to demons, the two empires also have ogres, some mysterious undead creatures, evil creatures in the dark realm that have escaped from the dark lair of the shepherd's wilderness, some robber gangs and some cultists, but these guys are nothing compared to demons.

And the reason why we want to talk about the above things is because the opponent that Elivan is about to face, from a historical point of view, is precisely from the Storm Empire in the Eastern Continent.

On the 17th of April, the year 2895 of the Gods Calendar, the then Admiral of the Storm Empire, Jeans Pakovich, led the Storm Empire's South Sea Fleet to sweep away the "Riptide" pirate group, the "Red Moon", which was crisscrossing the Empire's sea borders Seventeen large criminal organizations such as pirate groups, it is said that hundreds of thousands of pirates were beheaded and thrown into the sea to feed sharks, and this war completely established the hegemony of the Storm Empire in the entire South China Sea, and the South China Sea we are talking about does not refer to the sea south of the hills in the south of the Western Continent, but refers to all the sea areas south of the sub-axis of the world and the outline of the East Continent, which is the most extensive ocean in the entire El Continent, and is often called the "Endless Sea", and the North Sea, which is only two-thirds of the relative area of the South China Sea, is called the "Mysterious Sea" , while the old fur seals generally call the North Sea the "Sea of the Dead", meaning that the marine environment there is as harsh as hell for sailors.

Sandwiched between the two continents, the narrow sea is the Sea of Storms, which we talked about in the previous chapter, and is characterized by the variety of ocean currents, and due to the interaction of several monsoons, the Sea of Storms is one of the most complex places on the continent of Eyre, but in general, the Sea of Storms is still much better than the North Sea, so it has also made Bay City prosperous.

According to the original development of the story, Admiral Jennes, who had achieved a brilliant victory, should return to the Storm Empire with a rich booty and captured slaves, and then become a more senior bureaucrat, reaping the adoration of all the subjects of the Empire, but things did not go this way, just when Jennes's huge fleet had just sailed into the border between the South China Sea and the Storm Empire's inland sea, the admiral suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, the pirate captives who were placed on various warships launched a counterattack, and the battle was quite tragic, and the unsuspecting Imperial Navy was immediately severely damaged by the pirates' counterattackThe assembled pirates then snatched at least four warships, as well as Jennes' flagship, the Imperial Glory, and fled into the depths of the South China Sea, pursued by the remaining navies.

This battle, known as the "Second South China Sea Naval War", made the originally glorious Storm Empire seem to be slapped in the face, but at this point, the then emperor Ryan III could only order the remaining navy to return, and then in the month of candles (May), two demon lords appeared on Doom Volcano, so Ryan III, who had been planning to clean up the sea again, had to pay attention to the demon side first.

However, the result of this demon invasion eventually evolved into a rare war of attrition in the history of the Third Age, where the 300,000 valiant soldiers of the Storm Empire and the Dan Renzas Empire fought in the trenches for seven years before driving the invading demons back, and when Ryan IV, who had just ascended the throne, freed his hands, he found that the group of pirates who fled seven years ago had reappeared in the South China Sea, and they also played the "blood sails" has almost unified a third of the South China Sea, and their leader is none other than Admiral Jennes Pakovich, who mysteriously disappeared at the beginning, but the handsome and dashing general has become a monster with mysterious double swords, red eyes, wearing a scruffy captain's uniform, and most of his body has become a sea creature.

In the 100 years since then, the navy of the Storm Empire has been fighting the most tragic battles with the Bloodsail Pirates across the South China Sea, and every meeting between the two sides is endless, until today, more than 50,000 brave people have died under the blue waters, and the Bloodsail Pirates and their inhabitants have shrunk from more than 500,000 in their heyday to 400,000 now, but to be honest, neither side has the power to kill the other, and it is foreseeable that in the next few decades, or even hundreds of years, the Storm Navy and the Bloodsail Pirates will continue to fight like this until one side fails, or until the end of the world.

No one knows what happened to Admiral Jennes to become the eternal legend of a pirate in the South China Seas, he and his flagship "Abyss Guide" are like ghosts, roaming the South China Seas, and no one wants to encounter this terrible ghost ship, because no matter who it is, there is only one result in facing that ship, and that is complete death.

And after more than a hundred years of development, the Blood Sail pirates have long since broken away from the original life of authentic pirates who make a living by plundering, they are now ruling hundreds of thousands of indigenous people in the Thousand Islands of the South China Sea, and they have long since developed and perfected themselves into a clear class force, they have a special pirate guild to manage a large number of pirates and maritime merchants, and there are also pirate courts that are similar to law enforcement agencies, and there is a pirate council as the supreme ruler to dominate the overall situation, in short, the current blood sails are getting farther and farther away from the pirates, maybe they haven't found it themselves, I don't know when it started, they are already fighting the Storm Empire as a small nation.

And Elivan's enemy-Blood Shark, this guy is actually the current Speaker of the Pirate Council of the Blood Sail Pirates, the younger brother of the leader of the Blood Sail Fleet, Purus - Darius, of course, not his own brother, otherwise Darius would not be able to let his younger brother do anything in a place like the Sea of Storms, in fact, the relationship between Blood Shark and Darius has been very far apart, but after all, they are relatives, so Darius also generously integrated some ships and old sailors with a relatively long service life from his own fleet, handed them over to Blood Shark, and helped him form a mercenary group - Blood Shark Mercenary Group。

Of course, after that, Darius, who thought that he had fulfilled his responsibilities, basically ignored the Blood Shark, after all, he was the Speaker, similar to the leader of a country, and his daily affairs were also very busy.

And the blood shark himself is also a little clever guy, he did not directly enter the pirate industry like the predecessors of the family, but chose to take the neutral route, in the past ten years, the blood shark mercenary group has long poured rare materials between the mainland and the South China Sea, and participated in some small wars to plan profits, similar to his transaction with the Nine Towers Council, the blood shark does not know how many times, until a year ago, after not knowing where to get a mysterious treasure map, the blood shark ignored the obstruction of the mercenary group members, and insisted on pulling his team that had grown more than three times larger to the North Sea, that is, the Sea of the Dead。

Nominally, they entered the North Sea as the vanguard of the Blood Sail Pirates, this name can bring them great convenience, some small countries that are afraid of the Blood Sail Pirate power will even take the initiative to provide supplies, but at the same time, it will often bring them some trouble, such as the Holy Del Empire, a northern superpower, does not bird the banner of the Blood Sail Pirates at all, in a risky attack, the Holy Del Empire's elite North Sea Defense Team Mage Regiment only fired a volley, and turned one-tenth of the members of the Blood Shark team into garbage floating in the sea of the dead。

This setback somewhat made these people a little depressed by the blood shark who was smooth sailing, but after considering the comparison of his own strength with the other party, he still wisely chose to forbear, but there are always some unlucky ghosts who will become scapegoats, such as Putini, who was kicked out of the team by him not long ago, the sea snake and the old drunkard.

Putini's origin is very big, this blood shark knows, just from his cousin Darius when talking about Putini's family, the kind of awe and disdain he showed can make the blood shark guess some inside information, so he thinks that if he takes this opportunity to leave Putini, the last descendant of the Tiqi family, in the sea of dead forever, his cousin should be much happier, so after the blood shark expelled the three Putini people in anger, he immediately sent a killer, but Putini is indeed a lucky guy, they met before the killer arrivedThe solicitation of the "Golden Boat Guild", we all know what happened after that.

And now, the blood shark moored on a hidden island in the North Sea looked at the parchment in his hand viciously, and the name written in the authentic aristocratic signature pen in the far corner made the blood shark grit his teeth a little,

"Putini Edward Teach! Idiot! Waste! Wild Dog!"

The blood shark walked furiously back and forth in his tent, and after a few minutes, his angry shouts resounded throughout the camp,

"Alpeno, Alpeno, where are you dead! Get out of here!"

And with his roar, a young man who looked polite, but was wearing a set of dirty leather armor and carrying a blood-stained waist knife in his hand, quickly ran into the tent and responded with a grovel,

"Ah, great blood shark leader, what's the matter?"

"Alperno, look at this! That lucky wild dog has the audacity to send me such a provocative letter, and to ask me to negotiate in Newster Bay!

Looking at the irascible Blood Shark, the young man named Alpeno was somewhat helpless, he was originally a resident of the Thousand Islands Sea, and after being controlled by the Blood Sail Pirates, there was only one choice left for the people there to get ahead, that is, to join the Blood Sail Pirates, this is how Alpeno entered the Blood Shark's mercenary group, he is still a little different from the ordinary indigenous people, Alpeno has read some books, thanks to his grandfather who used to be a lieutenant of the Imperial Navy, but was captured in a defeat, so to be honest, he has some contempt for the Blood Sail Pirates, especially this time following the Blood Shark into the Sea of the DeadAfter seeing the force of the real empire, this young man was even more disgusted with the pirates who were crowned by monkeys.

But now is not the best chance for him to leave, because he is one of the few literate and well-read "talents" in the Blood Shark team, so the Blood Shark sees him very closely, and there are always two old fur seals who have retired from the real Blood Sail Fleet watching him, so even if Alpeno is anxious, he has to wait for a perfect time, if he can go to serve the Holy Del Empire, of course, it is the best, but if there is a chance, he still hopes to go to the Storm Empire, after all, it is the hometown that his grandfather never forgot before he died.

Thinking of this, Alpeno touched the brass ring around his neck, the only thing his grandfather, who had refused to compromise for decades in captivity, had left him.

"Putini, is this guy alive?"

Alpeno asked with some surprise, and then saw the blood shark's expression of choosing people to devour, and immediately stopped talking, but obediently looked at the content of the letter, the content on the parchment was not much, basically you can read it in a few minutes, unlike the irascible blood shark, Alpeno obviously saw something hidden from this letter, plus he had a very good relationship with Putini before, although there was some misunderstanding with the sea snake, but now he can't care so much, so the young eyes rolled, and he made a decision at the moment.

"Smack!"

Enraged, Alpeno tore the parchment in half, then shouted at the blood shark,

"That fool didn't even cherish it after he escaped his life, and dared to provoke us, chief, let me bring some of my brothers over and give him some color!"

"Uh..."

The blood shark called Alpeno to come over, originally wanting this "think tank" to give him some advice, but he didn't expect this usually calm guy to be even more impulsive than him, but after thinking about the blood shark, he understood that Alpeno was bullied by the guy named the sea snake next to Putini, and he was almost killed by the sea snake, so it is certain that he has hatred with those three people.

Thinking of this, the blood shark nodded in satisfaction, but then rubbed his chin and asked,

"Why do you think this Putini suddenly has the courage to provoke me? Could it be that in the past month or so, he has gained something, or which country has he taken refuge in?"

Alperno's heart tightened, his mind spun rapidly, and then he defended, "Impossible, chief, even if he lets go to recruit in more than a month, even if he is lucky to recruit hundreds of old sailors, and the countries around here, except for the Holy Del Empire and the Marlborough Strait Alliance States, who do we need to be afraid of?"

The young man swallowed and continued, " And you and I both know that the Holy Del Empire is preparing for a war with the orcs recently, and there is no time to pay attention to the affairs of the North Sea, the Marlborough Strait Alliance is too far away from the Neuster Bay, even if he takes refuge there, a month is only enough time for them to sail there, and there is no time to rest, besides, even if things are really bad, we can still return to the Sea of the Dead, I don't believe that he knows more about this place than we have been here for months!"

"You have a point!"

The blood shark rubbed his nose and subconsciously asked, "How many brothers do we have who can fight?"

"With the newly recruited, about 2,500 people, the twelve ships are basically full, and we have enough weapons reserves, but not enough food, just so we can take advantage of this opportunity to plunder the small principality on the other side of Storm Bay!"

Alpeno told the Blood Shark the numbers, and the latter patted the table with satisfaction, and immediately ordered,

"Then take 10 ships and leave the Petrel and the Tempest here to guard the camp, and the other 2,000 brothers will come with me to teach Putini a lesson! Hmph, the Pirate King family of Megatron has long since declined! This time, I will let the Tiqi family die here!"

And Alpeno, while leading out of the tent, touched his brass ring, looked in the direction of Newster Bay, and silently thought in his heart,

"Putini, Putini, good brother, don't let me down!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Just as the Blood Shark had pulled up most of the strength in the camp and was ready to teach Putini a lesson, on the edge of the battlefield that was about to begin, the group was sitting on the shore where the blue waters were constantly beating, chatting comfortably.

Dressed in a gray robe with a few golden patterns and wearing a purple mage from the Second Age from Rodnar's collection room, Elivan leaned comfortably against the stone while holding the scabbard of the magic blade at his waist, and the iron box of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws was cushioned under his head like a pillow, while several other good brothers laughed and set up a simple barbecue grill not far from him, and the king lobster and the fat silver-scaled dayfish that were only produced in the North Sea were just fished up, the latter being a tribute for the royal family of the Holy Del Empire, and with a lot of Siren blueberry wine in everyone's storage ring, the prodigal guys are having a lot of fun.

A little farther away, the Storm Queen's Revenge loomed on the other side of the bay like a ghost ship in the fog, and farther away from the conspicuous black flagship were six brigs a full circle smaller, and these seven ships were the newly formed "Black Sails" All of the pirates' families, five of which are half-sold and half-given away in the newly opened shipyards of the Krakens, and the super ocean forces of the Bloodsail Pirates, who can own more than a dozen ships with a single peripheral mercenary group, are simply shivering when they open the door--- shudder to their homes.

And on the beach near the sea below the hillside where they grilled their fish, about a thousand sailors of all kinds were shouting and celebrating around a campfire, and the open supply of rum and grilled fish and meat made these fellows who had been wandering at sea all year round let go of all their scruples, and these old fur seals, who had always followed the banner of the Tichy family in such a bad time, were also the real capital of Putini.

"Ah, this kind of scene reminds me of the deeds of the ancestors in the family that I always told me when my son was still alive. ”

Putini naturally no longer put on his pretense in front of these old friends, at this time he was wearing an open shirt, holding a grilled fish in one hand, and a bottle of blueberry wine in the other, sitting cross-legged on the beach, and said drunkly,

"It is said that before my grandfather and my grandfather's grandfather set out on the expedition, they would organize the brothers on the ship, have a good fight, and then carry the drunken guys to the battlefield, often during the battle, these sober guys can summon the courage to fight back, and bring victory after victory to the pirate kings of the Titch family, hey....It's a pity that the old man died too early to see the day when the Titch family re-emerged. ”

"Hey, look at it, this time our old buddy will help you destroy all the strikers of that bloody sail, and then take the ship for you, so that your Black Sail pirates can at least double their power!"

Rattle patted his chest as he comforted a slightly sad Putini, who smiled at him, then staggered to his feet and raised his bottle high above the sailors below the hillside.

"Ha, brothers, today is destined to be the beginning of Black Sail's luck, we have to start from here, start from the Sea of Storms, step by step to slowly get back what the Tiki family lost, and when we become the disaster stars of the Sea of Storms, I will take you back to the South China Sea in a beautiful way, and snatch back everything we have been taken !!away!"

"Grab it back!!"

"Roar!" (To be continued.) )
