The two swords intersected, and the fiery red phase particles scattered and splashed in all directions.

The nature of the fire particles splashing indiscriminately determines that the battle between the thermal swords is like the ancient knightly competition, one blow is separated, and one hit kills.

"Touch", the thermal sword and shield in his hand were suppressed at the same time. As a last resort, Norman retreated slightly in embarrassment to avoid the top-down slash. The scorching heat of the sword almost passed by, and the oncoming heat forced him to hold his breath.

However, the hostile Shoshi, who was also armed with a thermal sword, had already expected Norman's move. He adjusted his posture in an instant, and the light wings behind him suddenly increased by a brightness level, and the thermal sword in his hand bloomed with an even hotter aura at the same time. But at this moment, several precise beams of light came from the left. With a "squeak", a series of sturdy touches came from the carbon crystal shield in his left hand.

"Just a little bit! Alas......"

An unwilling sigh couldn't help but blurt out. But he still had to give up the pursuit and spread his wings and retreat.

Norman's face turned pale and quickly pulled away. Counting the one just now, he has already gone to the ghost gate for three or four circles.

Ellen with a sniper gun flashed past him, followed by Thor, who was holding a scattering cannon.

"Thanks, I owe you one more time." Norman reached out and wiped a cold sweat.

Ellen raised her left hand slightly, then waved it up and down a few times (sign language: careful). Ator nodded slightly, and took a sideways turn to hide in Angelus' energy stance.

……

[It's a pretty good fit.] Isha watched with relish as Ellen and their battles, [fixed-point suppression of sniper guns, wide-area containment of scatter guns, and melee cover.] The standard combat formation of the three-in-one machine is really extraordinary. 】

(It's not enough, they're not enough.) ）

The arrival of the Three-winged Soarer has greatly reduced the pressure on Angelus. Angelus suppresses with a wide range of diffuseness, while Ellen and Ator focus on those who attempt to flank by, and Norman fights with the advancing Shoshi.

However, the current situation is still not optimistic.

If it had been an ordinary encounter, Angrus would have given the order to retreat. But the Jewel Princess, which had almost lost its propulsion, did not allow them to retreat, not even a tactical retreat. Once they leave the current airspace, the defenseless Jewel Princess will be the target of the air pirates, and the safety of all the passengers and crew on board cannot be guaranteed. What's more, there are many "special people" on board at this moment.

"Uruka, how long will it take for reinforcements?"

Another cloud of dust rushed out of the sea of clouds, and a small floating boat appeared in the combat airspace.

"Contact was made with the 37th Mobile Brigade and the 19th Airborne Squadron three minutes ago. Expected to arrive in seventeen minutes. The arrival position was behind the enemy flank. ”

"Contact the 37th Mobile Brigade of the reinforcements, arrive at the combat airspace within ten minutes, and launch an offensive."

"Too reluctantly!" In the communication video, Uruka narrowed his eyes slightly and protested, "This ......"

"Let them arrive faster. Air Thief...... Barbossa's behavior was too bizarre. Although the situation has been gradually brought under control, Angelus's worries have not diminished at all...... This is not in line with the habit of air thieves......"

“…… Be. ”

(Barbossa...... No, what exactly does Eden want to do? …… Wait a minute! At this moment, Angelus suddenly grasped something, (Barbossa!) Where did he go!? ）

[Barbossa? Anthem series, master of the seventh wing of Alvet. No whereabouts were found. 】

(Nope!) How is this possible! When the shelling just now...... ）

Atropos's voice was still cold and concise: [In the current area, there are two hostile Xiangmen, forty-seven assault fighters, and eighteen old-style weapons such as combat boats. No trace of the Sky Knight was found. In the current area, no goblins have been found. 】

(Avitte is a melee elf that is said to possess some camouflage and stealth abilities...... Tell me to go down and keep an eye out for any unidentified objects around you! ）

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

With a "bang", the electromagnetic door to the bridge departed, and a slight electromagnetic resonance sound opened.

"Who!" The officer in the command seat noticed the soft noise behind him.

"It's me."

The rough voice was mixed with a few rebelliousness, and even the provocation could be felt in it.

"Barbossa! How did you end up here? The officer recognized the owner of the voice, and his originally slightly nervous expression relaxed, but then he brought a little disgust, "The assault machine unit is at a disadvantage!" You're going to strike and kill those bugs! Where did Yarvette go? ”

"Yarvet? Ah, I'll go find her right away. ”

"Go now! Don't get in the way here! The officer turned around impatiently, "Despicable bastard......"

The undisguised contempt made Barbossa's face instantly swell with a hint of fierceness, but then he was forcibly suppressed: "...... There were quite a few ...... on that ship. How do you deal with that? ”

"Processing? Hum! Let them go. Anyway, it's all those evil breeds who oppose Lord Lateran! It is also their glory to return to the Holy Land soon! His voice changed, "Get out!" That's not something you should ask! ”

"Yes...... Heh, hehe......"

Barbossa echoed with a stiff laugh, his left hand clenched even tighter.

"Maintenance team! Report the situation of the main gun! …… What? Haven't it been repaired yet? You idiots who only deserve to eat pig food! ”

"Restry ......"

The code words that fit the conceptual armament slipped silently from the mouth. A huge chainsaw chopping knife appeared in his hand.

Perhaps instinctively sensing the threat, the officer subconsciously turned his head to look back. The big knife that emitted a fierce light and Barbossa's expressionless face suddenly made him realize that the situation was wrong: "Barbossa! What are you doing? Do you want to rebel!? ”

"No...... I'm just carrying out the orders of the Holy House of Pardons. ”

Heavy combat boots pounded against the metal floor. The dull footsteps were filled with a murderous aura.

"You—what do you want to do! Guardsman! Guardsman! ”

The frightened cries of officers echoed from the semi-enclosed bridge. However, because of his usual authority, no one responded to his call. What's more, most of the crew on the bridge were originally Barbossa's men.

The approaching blade exuded a formidable killing intent. The officer finally realized that Barbossa was not only going to rebel, but was the first to prepare to shoot him.

"Nope! Don't kill me! I—I'm the eldest son of House Rosa! You can't kill me, you can't kill me! …… Yes! ”

A terrible scream rang out from the bridge.

"Phew!" Barbossa spat disdainfully at the corpse in the pool of blood, "Pampered miscellaneous...... Boys! Assembled, assembled! ”

"Whew!"

At the same time as Barbossa made his move, the subordinates who originally belonged to the officer on the bridge were also put down one by one.

"Boss, how did you make this sissy? It's not easy to explain to the above. ”

"Whew! What a kid this kid is! I didn't like him for a long time. Boss, well chopped! ”

“…… Boys, Lord Sarinbang, and Lord Lateran. Which one should we support? Is it Lord Salimbang of the House of Sacred Pardons? Or Lord Lateran of the Privy Council? His grim gaze looked around, "...... Neither! Remember, boys. Remember! Neither! We 'were' were the people of Eden, and we did our best for the prosperity of Eden. But not anymore! Eden has abandoned us, for that little gain! ”

When the words fell, the crowd was immediately excited. The air thieves began to talk nonsense.

"The Boss is right! The Divine Stick of Eden is not a good thing! ”

"Brothers have died several times more at the hands of the Holy See than at the hands of their opponents! These crumbs will stab them in the back! ”

……

"Quiet! Be quiet! ”

Barbossa grimaced and looked around coldly. The murderous aura and the blood stained on the blade immediately silenced the surrounding chatter.

"Scar, you! Do you have a son in school? Tell you, that kid is on the other side of the boat right now! ”

"What!" The middle-aged man with a deep scar on his face was shocked.

"And Scud, your kid should be on the other side...... How? Unbelief? Barbossa pulled up the corpse lying on the ground, rummaged through it a few times, and pulled out a small virtual screen from the corpse, "Look at who is on this list...... Moo, Moo, Julio Felix, the little cub of the Elders of the Holy Pardon; Well, Darcy Zannaofi Manuel, cadet of the Choral Academy; Oh! Oh! And the Lady Susanna......"

Familiar names appeared one by one, except for Barbossa, who had known in advance, everyone else looked sluggish.

"No, it can't ......"

“…… How can this be, how can it be ......"

"Except for the Privy Council, the others are pretty much there." Barbossa touched his fat chin with a sneer.

“…… Top dog! The air thief called Scar screamed miserably, and knelt down with a "snap", "Don't! Don't! Please...... Please! Spare my ......"

As if affected by the scar, Scud also fell to his knees all at once: "Boss...... Boss, be gracious, gracious! ”

Air thieves are also human beings, and they also have seven emotions and six desires. Although they can not care about their own life and death, it does not mean that they do not care about the life and death of their families.

"Get up...... Get the fuck up for me! Barbossa's roar instantly drowned out the cries of the two of them, "Don't cry! If you cry again, you will be thrown into the magic furnace! ……”

A loud roar was like an oncoming sonic boom. The two immediate recipients were directly frightened and collapsed to the ground.

After a brief respite, Barbossa's hideous face softened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "We are pirates and air thieves. But we're not killers, we're not butchers! Live and enjoy life. That's our only goal! He paused, "Boys! Listen up! This sale is a big loss! I'm so sorry for myself if I don't get something back! ”

"Wow !!"

A low howl was interspersed with two discordant voices.

“…… Boss, boss......"

"Shut up!" Barbossa glared at the two of them fiercely, "The heavenly knight from Valhasa outside will be handed over to those 'commissioners'." That cruise ship will definitely not be grabbed. So our goal this time is ......"
