2. Battle of Neustester (Medium)

In fact, it is not a suitable battlefield for a naval battle in Newster Bay, first of all, its area is not large enough, to be honest, it is already the limit of this bay to place more than 20 ships at the same time in this area, not that it is impossible to enter the ships, but if it is a naval battle, more ships will make the situation here a mess, and even some ships can't even turn and dodge flexibly.

On the other hand, because Newster Bay is a rare place where there is no monsoon and the ocean currents are extremely weak, this kind of place is definitely the worst battlefield for sailing ships that rely heavily on ocean currents and monsoons to turn and advance, in short, in fact, when the blood shark first saw Putini put the battlefield in this kind of place, he thought that Putini was crazy, but then he probably had some guesses, Putini this idiot was probably preparing to carry out a shameless ambush, waiting for his fleet to enter Newster Bay, they could hide in the outer sea they could jump out and block the not wide mouth of Newster Bay with artillery, so that you can catch yourself off guard!

"But if you think I'm at your mercy like this, you're wrong!

Blood Shark's hideous face showed a smug smile, seeing through Putini's insidious plan somewhat made Blood Shark a little fluttery, he stood up from his captain's room, and tapped lightly on the bell hanging in mid-air, and after a while, Alpeno, dressed in linen robes, appeared in the gloomy captain's room, Blood Shark is a guy who idolizes his own form Darius, so he also inherited some of Darius's very bad habits, such as collecting enemy heads as trophies, and unlike Darius's harshness on his own collection, Blood Shark can't wait to put every head he cuts off on the collection shelf, so if there is a place on this "Jackdaw" that all the crew members are unwilling to go, the captain's room of the Blood Shark must be among them.

Alpeno, holding back the nausea and fear in his heart, forced himself not to look at the hideous heads on the collection shelf, and asked in a low voice,

"Is there anything important? Mr. Captain?"

"Hehe, I've seen through Putiny's little bastard plan, he's going to set up an ambush beyond Newster Bay, trying to drive us into a narrow bay that is hard to avoid and turn around, trying to turn us into crabs in his jar, but I'm not going to let him succeed so easily!"

The blood shark pointed at Alpeno with a thick finger, and deliberately lowered his voice and said,

"Didn't you always want to prove to me what you were capable of? This is an opportunity! I'll give you the Arsu, and you will pick 100 crew members yourself, and then take Peggy, and let him replicate the illusions of a few ships as he approaches the bay, and I will follow you with the other brothers, and when Putiny's fleet appears, we will join forces and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

After saying that, the irascible guy also patted Alpeno's shoulder, showing his tolerance and generosity, but in fact, Alpeno's heart was already full of anger at this time!

He is not as easy to fool as a fledgling fool, under the guidance of his grandfather, Alpeno has a lot more knowledge of navigation than the blood shark, so he just listened to the first half of the blood shark's words, and he knew what this guy's idea was, and he should cooperate with the inside and outside... It's pretty much the same as bait.

If Putini really set up an ambush outside Newster Bay as the blood shark said, then when the old and broken "Arsu" led by him enters the Newster Bay, he will inevitably face a joint attack by the entire fleet, and the blood shark only asked him to choose 100 sailors, which is estimated to be just enough to sail the ship, coupled with the regrettable firepower of the "Arsu", if Alpeno really acts according to the blood shark's will, there will definitely be no scum left.

But speaking of which, is he willing to do this kind of death-defying mission, and is Peggy a rare mage in the pirate community to do it, or did Peggy do something that makes the Blood Shark angry?

Alpeno thought about all kinds of questions in his heart, but the habit he had developed since childhood still made his expression not change at all, at least the blood shark couldn't see this change, so he was "considerate" waiting for his entourage to agree to his task, he would agree, the blood shark has this confidence, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he always has a way to make him agree.

In fact, Alpeno's performance in the fleet of the blood shark is quite good, he has used his unique nautical knowledge several times to help the fleet avoid the doom of running on the reef, sailing in the sea of the dead, this rare talent and knowledge can really save lives, so unconsciously, Alpeno's reputation has faintly surpassed the brutal and arrogant captain, but the young man himself did not find this taboo at all, in short, the blood shark will never allow a second voice in his team, and he is obviously not the kind of person who can tolerate people, so Alpeno's mission to carry out this mortal mission has become his final ending。

But despite the harsh conditions, Alpeno, after a few minutes of careful thought, nodded his head and motioned for himself to accept the task, and said in a tone that was so calm that it was a little difficult for the Blood Shark to follow,

"So, chief, can I choose these 100 men myself? You know, the captain of the "Arsu" old Moore has a very big opinion of me, and I am afraid that he will leave me with some old and sick people, and I will not even be able to sail the ship at that time. ”

Faced with this absolutely reasonable request, Blood Shark thought about it and couldn't seem to find a reason to refuse, so he touched his chin and said generously,

"Yes, it's not just the Arsu, but you can choose from the Jupeno and the Wind Tooth, so why don't I send you a few of the people on the Jackdaw?"

"There's no need for this, the Jackdaw will definitely be the most attacked during the period, so you need these manpower more than me, Chief!

Alpeno politely took the blood shark's warrant and said goodbye, and after the young man walked out, the blood shark's face became unpredictable again, and he didn't know what he remembered, the guy snorted coldly, shook his hand, and sat back in his chair, sneakily pulled out a treasure map-like thing from under the desk, and began to study it carefully.

On the other side, while the blood shark was busy taking advantage of this opportunity to eradicate the dissidents, his opponent was busy preparing everything before the decisive battle, they were inside Newster Bay at this time, and judging from what they were doing, these Black Sail pirates didn't seem to have the intention of ambushing outside the bay, and Rattle, who was skillfully using fossils to make rudimentary turrets for the mud pirates on the coast of the bay, looked at Putini who was directing the pirates to set up defensive positions around him, and asked a little confused,

"Aren't you going to fight them head-on?"

"yes, it's a frontal one!"

Putini replied without raising his head, and Rattle simply asked again, "Then why do you want to get these things?"

"Because this will be the lair of the Storm Queen's Revenge in the future, now we will get the basic facilities in place, and after the battle, let those newly tamed slaves do the rest of the work. ”

"Here, you want to treat this place as a nest, this is too small, right? I think this bay will only put more than 20 ships at most, make this place a nest, I'm afraid that when the time comes, your enemy will come to the door, and you will be blocked here, what should I do?"

Rattle asked curiously with a big mouth, and in the face of this question, Putini stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat, and said a little casually,

"First of all, this is just the lair of the Storm Queen's Revenge, not the lair of the Black Sail Pirates, and you have to separate the two, and second, only the layman will make his lair known, or do you really think that the raiding island in the South China Sea is the real lair of the Blood Sail Pirates? Of course not, the Thousand Islands Sea is tens of thousands of miles in radius, and countless small islands are as dense as a galaxy, and the real elite team of the Blood Sail Pirates is hidden in these islands, but except for the real core personnel, no one knows their specific location at all. ”

Speaking of this, Putini shook his hand and said mockingly, "Otherwise, the navy of the Storm Empire will starve to death when the navy of the Storm Empire comes to raid the island and blockade it for several months every year, and when it doesn't set sail?" ”

"Then why did you choose this place? there are more places in the vast Storm Sea with better conditions than Newster Bay, right?"

Rattle continued to ask unconvinced, of course, the work in his hand has not stopped, the low-level fossils are mud under the impetus of Rattle's strong magic power as his own archmage, and they are almost converging and forming at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Putini will take out a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his pocket, throw some to Rattle, and light the fireworks himself, then said comfortably,

"It's a lot better than this place, but I'm very fond of the situation in Newster Bay, firstly, it's very close to the nominal capital of the Sirens, Asutana Harbor, and in the event of the worst outcome, I ask the Siren for help, and in half an hour at most, the Siren's army will be able to rush over, and secondly, it's very close to the Golden Sea of the North Sea, and it's also the favorite route of some desperate smuggling ships, controlling it is equivalent to controlling the flow of goods in a third of the Storm Sea, and the last point is from my grandfather's notes, in the notes left by the fourth pirate king of the Tichy family, that is, my grandfather, Koopa Edward Tich, he once mentioned Newster Bay without mentioning, he commented here, saying that the ocean current here is not as slow as people think, in fact, this is the situation of the convergence of three ocean currents, that is to say, within a few thousand meters around this small bay, there are as many as three ocean currents that I can use, so I gave up here at the beginning, tsk, the vision is really poor. ”

"Cut, routine! It's all routine!"

Rattle pursed his lips in disdain, raised one hand, and the last section of the low city wall rose in response, the archmage clapped his hands, and was about to say something, when in the clear water not far from them, a small head suddenly poked out, startling Rattle, but he looked closely, but found that it was a small kraken that was at least two-thirds smaller than the usual kraken, and it looked like it was still underage, and the head full of small snakes looked left and right, and when she saw Putini, she reached out and threw a sealed small bottle。

"Thank you, little Bosh, for saying hello to your father for me!"

Putini took the bottle, took out a crystal clear gem candy from his pocket, and handed it to the little kraken, but the latter pouted dissatisfied, and Poutini smiled bitterly and handed all the three gem candies in his pocket to her, and then the little kraken took it with satisfaction, and the snake's tail shook it in the water, and disappeared in an instant.

"What's that?"

Rattle asked with interest, and Putini twisted the cap of the bottle, took out the note inside, looked at it carefully, and shouted to the pirates who were busy or resting next to them, and everyone put down what they were doing and began to board the ship quickly, at this time, Putini turned around and explained to Rattle,

"Queen Asasina has promised to help the Black Sail Pirates through the initial difficult period, in return, we will take on the necessary commercial circulation responsibilities for the Kraken Kingdom Herfenus for the next hundred years, of course, they are now a formal country, and it must be not good in name to collude with the pirates, so the Queen specially moved the most courageous tribe of Herfennas, the Tidebreaker Siren Tribe, to the vicinity of Newster Bay as our backup force and direct trader, the little Kraken just now is the patriarch of the Tidebreaker Tribe, the daughter of the warrior of the Kraken Kingdom, Krumam Bosh, called Bona BoshAt the same time, he is also a descendant of the nobility with a hint of Kraken royal blood, I accidentally met her and her guards when I was sailing a few days ago, and I gave her a few pieces of gem candy, but this little girl has been entangled with me in the past few days, and there is really no way. ”

"Who asked you about that little girl! I'm asking what you've got in your hands? You idiot!"

Rattle angrily grabbed Putini's arm and walked towards the "Storm Queen's Revenge", who scratched his head a little embarrassedly and handed the things in his hand to Rattle.

"This is the news that Krumammu passed on to me, they have found traces of blood sharks in the sea three hundred miles away, and there is a ship that has broken away from the large force alone and is coming towards this side as a vanguard, so I have everyone gather and prepare to go over and fight them head-on!"

"Will the Krakens really help?"

Walking to the bridge, Andre and Lens, who had arrived first, and Elivan, who had been resting in the cabin, all gathered together, and Lens, the Carrot Swordsman, asked with a hint of doubt,

"After all, we have a personal relationship with Asasina, and these tribes are only subordinate to Asasina, they can work without contribution, in that case, the strength comparison between you and the blood shark is a bit hanging!"

"No, they'll help!"

Elivan yawned a little tiredly, I don't know if it's because of the climate, since the day he arrived at Newster Bay, he has been in this state of mental exhaustion, even if he slept for two days in a row, there was still no relief, but at this moment, despite his tired face, Elivan's eyes were surprisingly bright, he put his hand on the rudder, and whispered,

"The maintenance of any alliance is inseparable from the exchange of interests, especially between two forces that have just begun to contact, the benefits that can be seen are the best way to deepen the union between the two, Putini is a smart man, so he naturally has a way to make the Tide Breaking Tribe pour out to help, am I right?"

"Haha! It's the brain of the old K!"

Putini laughed out loud when he heard this, he pointed in a certain direction, lowered his voice, and said, "I told Krumam, this time I only want people and boats, and everything else belongs to them! I don't take a single gold coin, the blood sharks have sailed in the Sea of the Dead for almost a year, and they have plundered the territory of the Holy Del Empire several times, and the wealth they have accumulated is absolutely objective, even Krumammu knows this. ”

"They got the things, but they had to hand them over to you, so that you could exchange them for the medicinal herbs that their tribe needed, the waterproof weapons and armor, and the luxuries of the human world.

The demon warlock sitting in the corner of the side teasing the little ghost centurion Prius also quacked, I don't know if it's an illusion, since he studied the demon summoning and control technique in depth, Roman's demeanor and expression, and even language are getting closer and closer to those crazy warlocks in Elivan's memory, but Elivan is not worried that he will be bewitched by evil energy, because of Harry's existence and the purpose of the old K-group, they will only chase power, not be controlled by power, such a little confidence, Roman still has.

"Where, where, compared to the old K group that can shock the entire continent with every transaction, my business is simply not on the table!"

Putini pretended to be modest, and it was at this time that the three-masted steel battleship moved slightly, obviously already, and Elivan seemed to be a little overwhelmed and sat back in his seat, breathing a little rapidly, but it didn't take a few minutes to get better again, he put his hand in his pocket, took out a special amethyst coin and threw it to Putini,

"You take this thing and go to the port of Asutana to find the old hall butler of the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce, all the goods that the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce has, can be given to you at cost price, don't rush to thank me, I am also conditional, I need you to introduce the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce to Asasina in your name, for some reasons, it is inconvenient for me to come forward, don't reveal my relationship with them, also, this thing can allow you to come and go in the waters of the Duchy of House and the Marlborough Strait Confederation without hindrance, but don't count on them if you really encounter something, if it is inconvenient for the Krakens to come forward, you can take it to the lower city of Bay City, Find a guy named "Blackheart" at the "Old Golden Mouse" hotel, tell him about your troubles, and he will naturally give you a solution, if you can't solve it, you can run away. ”

Putini carefully put the amethyst coin into his pocket, and just wanted to thank him, but found that Elivin had fallen asleep on the table, while several other people sat next to him in groups of three or two, and whispered about their own affairs, Putini shrugged his shoulders, and then turned and held the rudder, and after a few minutes, he sailed out of the bay and said to the boatswain standing beside him,

"Raise the flag, tell the old drunkard, the fleet is moving at full speed!

With several red and green flags waving up and down on the flagship, the old drunkard, who was standing on the "Pilpins" with a telescope in hand, raised his right hand sharply and made a sign to move forward, and soon, the ships following the flagship took a "one" posture, and at this time a faint mist had risen on the sea, which was not a natural imagination, but the storm ripper who followed behind the ship of the Black Sail Pirates had begun to cast a spell.

That's right, for this small battle that is not even a border conflict in the eyes of the Kraken Generals, they even had the luxury of sending the most elite Storm Ripper Legion of the Kraken Kingdom to the Black Sail Pirates, of course, there is only one battle team and four Kraken mages, but in the environment of Newster Bay, the huge waves set off by the four Kraken mages who specialize in water magic can still easily destroy all the ships on both sides at the same time, in the sea, the Kraken mages with natural water element affinity are so domineering!

In fact, these four Kraken mages are also the backhands secretly arranged by Putini, once the battle situation in front of him is unfavorable, then he will immediately give up the original plan to kidnap people and seize the ship, and under the condition of ensuring his own strength, let these four Kraken mages take action and wipe out the Blood Shark Pirate Group under this ocean, of course, this is also the hidden reason why Putini will put the battlefield in Newster Bay, once he enters the North Sea to fight, it is very likely that the White Stone Mages who monitor the border of the empire will find the figure of the Siren Mage。

The Imperial mages don't care about the infighting between rude and lowly pirates, but that doesn't mean they ignore the fact that the Storm Rippers can set off a small storm in one of the ports on the eastern shore of the Empire in an instant, swaggering into the Empire's borders, and once the two sides face each other, the situation is likely to get out of control, which is an outcome that neither Helfenus, who is currently short of time, nor Putini, who is under great pressure, do not want to see.

But in any case, when the Blood Shark drove its large army into the already changing storm sea, everything was already doomed.

At this time, Alpeno and his "handful" selection of 100 crew members were piloting the "Arsu", which seemed to be sinking in the endless waves in the next second The old ship, carefully following the meaning of the blood shark boss, moved quickly towards Newster Bay, they were nervous, for fear that a dozen large ships would jump out of the thicker and thicker fog in a second to surround them, but in fact, they did not know that the real enemy was silently in the sea directly below their ship, flicking their bewitching tails, watching their every move through the waves of the sea.

Many years later, when Alpeno, who was already too old to walk, woke up from a nightmare, he was stunned to find that on this day, and soon after, what would happen would be the most terrifying moment of his life that was completely up-and-down, and at that time, Alpeno was always glad that he was on the side of victory.

Yes, it doesn't matter about morality and luck, I'm just on the winning side, that's all. (To be continued.) )
