Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Windless Barrier

Influenced by the monsoon and ocean currents, the route from Neverwinter to Karsecet is a winding curve, passing through a number of islands and reefs, the largest of which is called the Coral Islands, known for its rare black corals, with circular knolls and Dokdo Reefs, which are a paradise for many marine creatures, and even sailors have seen mermaids near the islands.

In the southern part of the Coral Islands, there is a body of water surrounded by islands and reefs on three sides, and when you look down from a high vantage, you will find that the shape of the whole body of water is very similar to the shape of Langqin commonly used by court musicians, hence the name Luangqin Bay.

Now that the Southern Star has just sailed to the vicinity of Langqin Bay, it is surrounded from all sides by a large number of Ike people who came to the sea on giant scorpions, and it seems that the other party has indeed mastered the route information of the Southern Star, and hid behind the circular island of Langqin Bay in advance, and then swarmed up after the merchant ships approached.

It was clear that the Ike had succeeded in their scheme, the huge Southside Star was caught off guard and surrounded on all sides, and the dense Scorpion King Hala Guards were getting closer and closer, and everyone on board understood that the situation was already very unfavorable for them.

Except for one person.

Captain Pike snorted, "Want to surround my Southern Star? These red-skinned rats are underestimating me McDull Pike." ”

After saying that, he shouted: "Raise the sails! Raise all the sails, go full speed, and rush over!"

When the sailors next to the mast heard the sound, they immediately took action, and all the sails on the three main masts were quickly raised under the combined force of dozens of sailors, and the huge sails full of wind immediately provided the ship with majestic forward momentum, making the speed of the ship suddenly increase by more than three percent, and the huge Southern Star rode the wind and waves, accelerating forward according to the established course.

Sean secretly praised in his heart, Captain Pike was really not chaotic at the critical moment, in the face of such an encirclement with almost no gaps, the current acceleration forward rush is indeed the most effective way to deal with it, those scorpions controlled by the Ike people must be behemoths compared to ordinary people, but they are still quite small in front of the Star of the Southern Realm, and they must be invincible when they rush over with full sails.

Feeling the impact of the massive hull of the ship cleaving the waves at full speed, the sailors who had been so nervous that their faces turned pale also regained their confidence, they clenched their short knives tightly in their hands, gritted their teeth and looked at the Ike people who were getting closer and closer in the distance, waiting for the moment when the Southside Star would knock them into pulp.

But this exciting moment was a missed appointment.

It was as if for a moment, the people on the boat felt their surroundings suddenly quiet.

Very eerily quiet.

In the past, the surrounding space was often filled with all kinds of chaotic sounds, and even in addition to the chatter and shouting of sailors, the howling sea breeze would blow the huge sails on the hull of the ship, and the sound of the surging waves constantly crashing against the side of the ship constituted the main melody of life at sea.

At present, everyone is watching the enemy's movements with bated breath, paying attention to the commander's orders, not only no one is making a loud noise, but even the sound of breathing is deliberately lowered a lot.

The human voice has been suppressed to a minimum by discipline and tension.

But why is there no more wind and waves?

At this time, the Southern Star was silent, as if it was not sailing on the sea, but parked in an empty shipyard, the sound of hunting sails and surging waves completely disappeared, and everyone looked at each other, what the hell was going on?

"Sails! Look at the sails! They're not moving!"

Suddenly, there was a panicked shout from the corner, and everyone followed the sound, only to see a water pointing to the high mast, his face full of horror, and everyone looked up and was immediately stunned.

On top of the three huge masts, the six huge sails of the upper and lower layers, which had just been covered with the wind, had all hung down, and under the pull of the weight of the ropes, they were softly attached to the sides of the mast, like greasy aprons tied to the chef's body.

Captain Pike rushed to the edge of the deck and looked down at the railing, only to see that the currents on both sides of the ship had become extremely gentle, completely no longer the rough seas of the past, and the usually windy and rough Emerald Sea had turned into a large pond in the blink of an eye.

By this time, the Southern Star, which had lost the thrust of the wind and ocean currents, had become slower and slower, its huge body and payload had become a huge burden, and the surrounding pursuers were getting closer and closer.

"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on!" asked the captain with a blushing face.

"I'm afraid there's the problem. An old man with gray hair standing behind him replied, pointing to the sea in front of him. He is the leader of the mages accompanying the ship of the Southern Star, due to the existence of Ike Pirates, the Emerald Sea is very uneven, so a large chamber of commerce with absolute strength like the Tasa family usually equips its caravan with a strong escort force, hiring an armed force like the Blood Bat Mercenary Regiment is just one of many ways, Captain Pike's obviously more armed sailors than other merchant ships are also part of the protection plan, and spending a lot of money to form a special mage team for the Southern Star is a very necessary and most effective means of defense in the eyes of the helmsmen of the Tasa familyThese battle-hardened mages have also become Captain Pike's greatest reliance in times of danger at sea.

"What do you mean, Master Gali?" The captain looked in the direction of the old mage's finger and saw that behind the dense Ike formation, there was a giant scorpion that was larger than the scorpions that carried seven or eight Ike people.

But there were only five people on it.

Four of the Ike were dressed in dark red hooded robes that were almost indistinguishable from their skin, and all four of them raised their eight hands at the same time, their palms facing each other in a square, and in the center of the square was a very conspicuous silver magic vortex.

"Windless Enchantment, the sorcerer next to the Scorpion King Hala has actually mastered this magic!" Helen's eyes widened in surprise when she saw the true face of the silver vortex in the hands of the four people, and she covered her mouth with her hand.

"Miss Ross is right. The white-haired old mage frowned, and said to Captain Pike with an extremely solemn expression, "I didn't expect that in a few years, the mana of these Ike Warlocks would improve again, and the enchantment spell covering such a wide area could be performed by only four people. Right now, we're completely caught up in their "windless barrier", and we guess we can only get out of it by killing those four warlocks. ”

After listening to the old mage's explanation, Sean squinted his eyes and measured the distance between the four warlocks on the huge scorpion and himself, sighed and said, "It's a pity that the distance is too far, neither crossbow arrows nor magic can reach them." ”

"No, the distance is not a problem. ”

After figuring out the reason for the situation, Captain Pike immediately thought of a countermeasure, he raised his head and looked at the four Ike Warlocks who were casting spells in the distance, and said with a cruel smile: "Although the crossbow arrows are not good, there are other good things on my ship, first mate, take a few people to move our "Katyusha" out and let these red-skinned monkeys see it!"
