On the endless sea, the gentle breeze on the sea made the originally calm sea surface ripple, and the spring sun gently sprinkled down, reflecting the whole sea surface into a piece of blue. Flocks of seagulls followed the long fleet, flapping their white wings, sometimes flapping their wings and trying to fly forward, sometimes stopping on the sails with a crisp call.

Ryan stood on the deck of the ship's side and took a long breath, feeling the fresh, slightly fishy sea breeze. Alendor stood beside him with his hands on his chest, looking at Xiaobai running around the deck with a smile on his lips. Franner grabbed a large piece of bacon in his hand, he kept cutting the small piece of bacon with a knife, and then threw it into the air, while Xiaobai would run over quickly, jump up dexterously, and bite the bacon thrown by Franna, and when it hit the ground, he immediately swallowed it in his stomach in a few bites, and then ran to the next piece of bacon.

It has been three days since leaving Sea Breeze City, and the experience of sailing for the first time has made Ryan and Alendor enjoy it very much, because it is spring, there is no violent wind, and everything has been quiet so far on the whole trip, but let Ryan and them have a good experience of the gentle side of the sea.

Because it is a fleet made up of various malls, the size and style of each sea ship is different, Ryan and the others are riding on the largest of them, and with them, there are nearly a hundred mercenaries. While waiting for the ship in Seabreeze City, mercenaries and caravans from other cities arrived, and the fleet they were waiting for was one more ship than expected, so everyone boarded the ship and set off together.

This fleet consisted of seven merchant ships and two escort warships, and the ship they were on was called: "Exocet", and this one was the one that was more than expected. It wasn't the largest, but it was the sturdiest, so Lille and York chose it as their boat. As soon as the two of them arrived on the ship, they took turns to stay in the cargo hold with ten mercenaries of the Magic Hand to protect the special cargo that was being transported to Thor's Fortress. When they were not on a bad day, the mercenaries of the Magic Hand also stayed in their rooms all the time, and they would not leave a single step except for eating. The other mercenaries were not as disciplined as they were, and they basically soaked in the ship's bar as soon as the ship set sail, drinking shoddy wine and telling ** jokes.

In the captain's room, a burly man with an eyepatch in his right eye whispered: "Head, you are so smart, we don't have to rob it at all, they just fill us with the goods, and in a few days, we will find an opportunity to get rid of the people on the ship, and then sell these goods, and we will make a fortune." ”

The man who was beheaded turned around and slapped the man with the blindfold hard, and then reprimanded, "Dieteb, you are such an idiot!" It turned out that the man with the blindfold was the Dieteb who participated in the Royal Atlético of the Imperial Capital under the alias of the Gulf Gentlemen, and the man who was the head was their pirate leader Killnst.

"Ah, head, why are you hitting me?" said Dieteb aggrievedly, "Isn't this the perfect plan you said?"

"My plan is to pretend to be a normal merchant ship. Now that the whole south is being transported to the north, we have no smuggling business to do, and if we turn to pirates, do you know which ship is going to Thor Fortress? ”

"That's not a lot for nothing. ”

"Idiot, can you not think about it with your lower body?" Kissunst lowered his voice and said, "How dare you do that, I guarantee you won't survive this month! Unless you hide on the legendary Dragon Island or simply go orc to the territory. ”

Dieteb tilted his head and thought for a long time, obviously he was thinking about whether to go to Dragon Island or Orc Territory, which made Killn not know what to say. But fortunately, his two subordinates, Dieteb is cruel and aggressive, and Edward is insidious and vicious, each with their own characteristics, but also has very fatal shortcomings, which is why he can completely control these two people.

"Head, I'm back. Edward pushed open the door to the captain's room and walked in.

"How?"

"I made my rounds, and the mercenaries were so drunk that they couldn't even pick up their weapons, and the group of people in the hand of magic stayed in the room all day, as long as they were careful not to provoke them. ”

"Good. ”

"But ......"

"But what?"

"Head, I saw a couple of people. ”

"Who—who?" said Dieteb, who was pondering on the sidelines, suddenly interjected.

Edward's face showed a complicated expression, and he said, "Ryan, and Allendo!"

"Ahh

"No, it's just the two of them. ”

Kissern waved his hand and interrupted the conversation between the two subordinates: "Leave them alone. This time, we joined the team of northbound transportation for the purpose of seeking wealth. Edward, make a little more effort to warn the brethren, especially Ryan and his companions. You've seen them when you're in the Imperial Capital, and we can't afford to mess with their backgrounds. ”

Before Edward could speak, he heard the lookout outside the captain's room shouting, "Head, an unidentified fleet has been spotted in front of the port side." ”

Kisser looked in the direction the lookout had said, and saw that five unflagged ships were heading towards him in front of him, which was the most common formation before the pirate attack.

Kissunst frowned and said, "Where did you come from, the blind guy actually dared to provoke Lao Tzu's head." After thinking for a moment, Kissn gave the order: "Raise the flag and tell them that we are a cargo ship for Thor's fortress." ”

The flag was quickly finished, and the five seagoing ships on the opposite side simply ignored it and continued to sail at full speed. Edward took a closer look, and suddenly said, "Head, it's Leo the Redbeard, don't hide it anymore, get ready to fight, they have always left no room alive." ”

"Damn, this is the first time we've done a good deed. Kisser cursed loudly. Redbeard Leo is one of the three most famous pirates in this sea, and Killnster can't compare to him in terms of numbers alone, and after the red-bearded Leo is robbed, he will definitely kill everyone who has seen him, and there will be absolutely no survivors.

"Enemy attack! enemy attack!" At Kissern's command, someone rang the bronze bell on the bow of the ship and raised the alarm. Soon, the alarm of the enemy attack spread throughout the ship. Kissernst's men abandoned their disguises and rushed to the deck with various weapons, quickly forming battle formations. The mercenaries who were drinking in the cabin were at a loss for what to do, and only when they heard the cries of the enemy attack did they rush to the deck, many of them disheveled and without even weapons.

"What's going on?" asked Ryan, who had just arrived on deck, in a low voice. Ryan looked meaningfully at Dieteb, who was wearing an eyepatch, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Dieteb shout loudly: "It's the Slaughter and the Blood God! Damn Redbeard Leo, they actually used two ships against us!"

Lille looked up and saw that the two warships had broken through the water at full speed and crashed into him. Without exception, these ships are marked with "one skeleton and two crossed bones", which is a common mark for pirates. It's just that the bow of one ship is painted with a severed human head and still has blood remaining, while the bow of another pirate ship, which is significantly larger than the others, is painted with bright red, which is like a blood-like color and sends a hideous terror to the passengers on the Exocet, which is the flagship of the Redbeard Leo, the "Blood God"

"Three hundred meters!" Dieteb shouted loudly: "Shooter prepare!"

More than two dozen sailors armed with spears immediately clenched their weapons and set their eyes on their targets. Behind them stood twenty sailors armed with log shields, which were used to fend off the opponent's long-range attacks. Firing a bow and arrow on a high-speed ship can be a difficult task, and the sea is windy, and the lighter feather arrows are not easy to hit the target, but the sinking spear in the hand can better kill the enemy.

"Damn, how can this be?" Lille cursed, on the one hand, for the surprise of the pirates, and on the other hand, the sailors on his own ship did not look like real sailors, but like well-trained warriors.

After weighing it again, Lille still decided to deal with the foreign enemy first, he quickly recited the magic spell, and after a few seconds, a crystal clear ice ball condensed in his hand, and with a wave of Lille's hand, the ice ball crossed a white rule and flew towards the nearest "Blood God" pirate ship with a red bow painted on the bow.

Ryan saw that Lille had made a move, and he immediately took action, if he really let the enemy ship in front of him be loaded on his own ship, even if he could defeat the enemy in the end, it would also damage his own ship, and it would definitely affect the sailing plan. A long series of magical spells flew out of Ryan's mouth, and a red fireball formed in his hand, and flew towards another pirate ship "Slaughter" with a bloody human head painted on the bow.

"Boom!" The fireball hit the front side of the "Slaughter" head-on, sending out a scorching magical flame, and the violent explosion forcibly tore the part of the ship's side open, revealing a huge hole. The wood chips on the side of the ship were swept into the air by a violent explosion, and then, unable to withstand the intense heat of the magic flames, immediately burst into flames, turning into fragments and falling into the sea.

"Bang!" Lille's puck also hit the main sail of the Blood God after Ryan hit the target. As soon as the puck touched its target, it exploded, releasing a gray mist that enveloped the area around the explosion for several meters. After a few seconds, the main sail of the "Blood God" let out a "click, click." The sound was frozen into a hard section, and it lost its effect of speeding up the voyage. The "Blood God", which was sailing at full speed, also slowed down for this reason, and due to the effect of inertia, several pirates standing in the bow of the ship lost their footing and fell into the sea with a flutter.
