"Big trouble on the Emerald Sea?"

Sean was stunned for a moment, and thought for a moment before reacting: "Do you mean ......?"

"That's right, it's them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Morrigan nodded, "The talkative Ike pirate of the Emerald Seas. ”

In Morrigan's narration, the origins of these Ike pirates are more tortuous than those of the Far Eastern Naga.

One of the two elven nobles who lost the civil war stubbornly fled to the Far East, and with the help of the Sea Dragons, he re-established himself as a powerful force in the Far East. The other was less fortunate as they fled and were surrounded by a chasing regiment sent by the victors, and eventually their patriarch, the nobleman who had risen up for the throne, committed suicide in exchange for a promise from the new elven king who had just ascended the throne not to exterminate his entire people.

But the fate of this elf is still tragic.

They were exiled to the Sakha Desert, then deserted in the far south, and were never allowed to return to the Eloran Forest.

The endless sea of sand dunes in the desert, the blazing air that seems to burn the lungs with every breath, and the harsh environment with a severe lack of green trees and fresh water, is undoubtedly hell for these elves who are accustomed to living in the environment of giant trees, deep springs, flowers and water.

Soon, a large number of elves died tragically because they did not adapt to this harsh climate, and only a few survived, but after a long period of devastation, these remaining elves also underwent some desperate changes. Their life essence is constantly being consumed in the process of fighting against the harsh environment, resulting in a much shorter lifespan than ordinary elves. The snow-white skin turned red from the scorching desert air and the fierce winds, and even the elves' proud beauty was twisted and monstrous under the immense pressure of survival and the immense resentment of the enemies who had placed them in such a desperate situation.

Therefore, although some of the descendants of this elf have successfully survived in the desert and continue to multiply, and the current population is larger than that of the Naga in the far east, the characteristics of the elves in them are completely gone.

In the eyes of the world, these crimson-skinned creatures with strange faces have completely evolved into a new race.

People call them "Ike people".

"Are these Ike now completely dependent on piracy for their livelihood?"

When Sean traveled in the Holy Empire, he also heard about the actions of these Ike pirates who had been plagued by the Emerald Sea for many years. If they were really as Morrigan said, with a large number of people and strong men struggling to survive in the desert, once they were all pirates, wouldn't these caravans and civilian ships on the Emerald Sea be in constant fear and peace.

"Not really, although most of these surviving Ike people are savage, cruel, cunning and insidious, there are still a few who still follow the elven tradition of thousands of years ago, disdain to be in the company of those who have become pirates, and instead have joined the Seven Cities Alliance, just like the Black Dragon Family, and have become our allies to help each other. Behind Sean and Morrigan, Helen's voice suddenly came.

The two turned their heads, only to see Helen slowly walking towards them while talking, the royal blue mage robe tightly wrapped around the body under the tuk of the sea breeze and surging to one side, and together with the tight lambskin petticoat, the girl's perfect and plump body curves were outlined, full of charm.

Morrigan tilted his head to admire it for a while, and couldn't help but sigh to Sean: "Miss Ross is known as the most beautiful woman in the Far South, and she blooms in the flower of the mage in Karsekert. In my opinion, these accolades are not exaggerated at all, but they do not fully describe her true beauty. No wonder Mr. Tamble was not moved at all in the face of the gentle and lovely Naga girl, who was changed, if the woman around him could have half the beauty of Miss Rose, he would not look at other women at all. ”

Although Sean has always had a deep distrust and distrust of the Grand Master of the Blood Bat in his heart, he agrees with his feelings. Helen has an unparalleled beauty that will thrill you at first glance, a stunning face that any man would aspire to have. Speaking from my heart, when I saw her for the first time, I immediately had a feeling of "how good it would be if I could walk with her". Later, when he saw her being chased by the enemy, he immediately rushed to help without hesitation, although there was the spirit of an adventurer who helped the weak with a hoe, but most of the reason was because she was a beautiful woman.

Thinking of this, Sean saw Helen walking towards him in front of him, and he actually had a feeling that "he actually had the hope of becoming the luckiest man on the mainland".

But this wonderful feeling was instantly broken by a rush of brass bagpipes, followed by the voice of the first mate on the ship, which sounded extremely nervous:

"Ike Pirates! Ike Pirates are coming up from behind! Everyone is back to their posts! All the sailors who are not on duty are on deck, ready to meet... Meet the enemy!!"

Later, one of the captains of the Blood Bat ran up to Morrigan and loudly reported to him that the pirates had been found behind the ship. Morrigan was not in danger, and he even calmly said hello to Sean and Helen, who had already approached, before following his men back to the command position of the mercenary group.

Sean and Helen glanced at each other, and then looked towards the stern of the ship at the same time, only to see that the sea fog was relatively large, and the visible distance was not far, and it was impossible to detect the pirate with his eyes alone.

"I guess there's a Hawkeye mage on board, and it seems that Captain Pike is still well prepared, so let's go to him now and see if we can help." Helen suggested. Sean naturally had no opinion, but the two of them had just taken a few steps towards the captain's lounge in the stern, when they saw that Captain Pike was already fully dressed, with a long knife on his waist, and strode out of the stern, while directing the boatswain to steer, while shouting loudly to his sailors to open all the sails on the three giant masts, it seemed that the intention was to throw the pirates off by changing the course and increasing the speed of the ship.

Seeing that the captain was busy, the two were inconvenient to disturb, Sean and Helen simply returned to the cabin to find the Rebecca sisters and brothers, took out the spare long sword and dagger and stuffed it into Victor's hand, and gave him as a self-defense weapon to protect himself and his sister, Sean even left them with a folding crossbow and five arrow boxes, and then taught Victor how to use the crossbow, while instructing them to stay in the cabin honestly, no matter what the outside is like and not easy to get out of the cabin, so as not to be discovered by pirates who successfully board the ship or accidentally injured by their own people.

After all arrangements were made, the two returned to the deck again, and at this time, whether it was the armed sailors under Captain Pike or the mercenaries of the Blood Bat Mercenary Regiment led by Morrigan, they had already put their armor and weapons ready to be put in place, and they were guarding various critical positions on the ship under the command of the leader, and there was no panic when they first received the alarm.

However, the sharp-eyed Sean still found that many people, especially those who were not used to armor piercing and only held a short knife in their hands, were still nervously pale, after all, Ike pirates were notorious, and most of them were not sure that they would be able to save the day.

At that moment, the rapid sound of brass bagpipes sounded again, and the sailor in charge of the lookout shouted: "Captain, there are pirates in front of you, and... Very much!"
