Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Ghost Lingers
Bidding farewell to the corpse of the [Golden Demon King Shark], the [Dragon Eagle] continued to set sail. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Until he came out of the [Ship Grave], Wren's mood did not change.
It turns out that the [Golden Demon King Shark] is indeed escorting them through the [Ship Grave].
Because when it followed, there really weren't any monsters around that dared to approach.
But ever since the Golden Demon King Shark was killed, Ogudo told Wren,
The Dragon Eagle was once again targeted by a mermaid.
It's just that the mermaids don't know that the [Golden Demon King Shark] is dead, and because of the deterrence of the [Golden Demon King Shark],
They don't dare to cross a certain line to attack.
However, with the help of the first half of the [Golden Demon King Shark], plus the mermaid did not dare to cross the line in the second half,
The passage of the Dragon Eagle through the Ship Grave went very smoothly.
The fact that he killed the [Golden Demon King Shark] by mistake made Wren feel guilty all the time.
Although Ogudo comforted him, saying that the situation was urgent, there was nothing wrong with responding in this way.
But Wren still couldn't get out of that guilt.
Wren also knows that no matter what he does, it will make people feel inappropriate, but since he chose to kill the [Golden Demon King Shark],
Then be brave enough to bear the pain caused by this result.
But it was not easy to bear this pain, and there were certain inexplicable emotions that made him feel that he owed a debt.
A debt that you can't pay off in your lifetime.
Wren pulled out his monocular again and began to observe the sea ahead.
Some painful things just let it stay there, and now he is a regimental commander who must ensure the safety of the team at all times.
If you continue on, you will pass through the desert island area where pirates gather, and this is a new danger zone.
It is necessary to be always on the lookout for pirate ships that may appear at any time.
Some things are weird, and the more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen.
Wren seemed to see the shadow of the ship in the telescope, but the distance was too far, and the waves were so undulating that it affected the observation.
He wasn't sure if it was really a ship.
"Attention! there is a suspicious ship ahead!" Mr. Tadoni's warning sounded at the same time, helping Wren identify the ship he had found.
"There are suspicious ships behind the ship, too!" said Ogudo's voice.
Although he did not have a telescope, his mental power scanning range was farther than that of a telescope.
The fact that the lookout on the rear mast did not give a warning is proof of this.
It's understandable to spot a suspicious vessel in the bow direction, but it's not right to spot a suspicious vessel behind you.
Behind him is the direction of the [Ship Grave], and it is usually impossible for a ship to come out from that direction.
Unless the other party is like his own [Dragon Eagle] and breaks out of the [Ship's Grave].
Wren hurried to the stern of the ship and began to look with a telescope, but found nothing.
It seems that Augusto's psychic power scan is much farther than expected.
After waiting for four or five minutes, the voice of the lookout came from above: "Confirm the discovery of a suspicious vessel." ”
Wren hurriedly pulled out the monocular again to check the area behind the ship.
There was still no sign of the ship, but he knew it was because the lookout was standing tall.
After waiting patiently for about a minute, I finally saw the mast of a ship on the horizon.
It was too far away to see the flag flying on the ship.
"Two more new ships were found in the rear. The lookout promptly reported the latest observations.
There are no new reports ahead, only the one that was previously discovered.
The ships that appeared in this sea area probably wouldn't be ordinary ships, and Wren was almost certain that the other party was a pirate ship.
It's just that the level of the ship and the pirate regiment to which it belongs are unknown.
Since he can see the other party, the other party should have also discovered the [Dragon Eagle].
Next, we can only look at the reactions of the two parties before making a decision.
With the passage of time, the ships behind the [Dragon Eagle] can be clearly seen, and the three ships are flying a unified flag.
It's all black on a black background, with a fiery red rose on top.
Pirates of the Roses?!
How did they get into this place?
Since getting rid of this pirate group a year ago, I thought I wouldn't see them again,
Seeing it in this place now really shocked Wren's heart.
Is this a coincidence?
This group of pirates has traveled from the Glory Empire to the borders of the United Empire of the Rice Eagles.
After almost two years of sailing, repeated encounters, it is difficult to say that this is a coincidence.
Wren still remembers that they used to be bandits in Blade Mountain, perhaps chasing them all the way here in order to avenge the destruction of the cottage.
But they're too persistent.
With the energy and time, they should have built a second, bigger cottage long ago.
"The enemy in the rear is confirmed!Rose Pirates!Ready to fight!" Wren announced in a loud voice.
The enemy is clearly coming at him, but he will not be lucky enough to think that the other party is passing by occasionally, or hope that the enemy does not see them.
Judging from the previous records of the Rose Pirates, the [Dragon Eagle] won more long-range artillery battles and lost less.
In melee combat, there is no strong enough battle captain, so he has not tried to engage the opponent in close quarters.
The other party not only has a powerful warrior who knows how to use fighting energy, but the boss is also a powerful magician.
In addition, the other party should still have a few leaders who have not met, so it seems that the opponent's broadside battle is full of advantages.
Past battles have relied on Captain Robert's skilful skills to get ahead of the curve and get out of danger at a time of danger.
However, judging from the fact that the opponent can successfully pass through the [Ship Grave] area, the enemy's captain should be not bad.
I'm afraid there is not much advantage in controlling the ship now.
"Ogudo, can you know the strength level of the master on the other ship?"
Wren asked tentatively.
"Yes. Those who are weaker than me, I should be able to figure out their level. ”
Ogudo replied in the affirmative, and had already taken the initiative to help find out the enemy's strength.
"Two great magicians, one fifth-level and one fourth-level!
There are two quasi-sword masters, one third-level and one fourth-level. All concentrated on the flagship. ”
Soon Augusto reported the opponent's combat strength.
Hearing such strength, Wren was still a little shocked.
I didn't expect a gang of bandits to gather so many masters, although the strength realm is not as high as Aogudo, but the emphasis is on the number of people.
If there is a real fight, as long as someone entangles Ogudo, the loss of the battle can be imagined.
Besides, the other party has a magician, and in such an environment as the sea, the enemy can not fight in close combat at all.
With the help of mages and artillery, sink the Dragon Eagle into the sea.
"Where's the ship at the bow, and are there any great characters?"
Wren temporarily suppressed his worries and continued to ask Augusto.
Augusto began to concentrate on scanning with mental power again, and after a short moment he reported what he had found:
"Except for one warrior level 3, the rest are just ordinary people and have no combat effectiveness. ”
Wren breathed a sigh of relief from Ogudo's information, and that's when he decided to ask Ogudo what he was worried about:
"Are you sure you can win the battle with the few masters of the pirate group in the back?"
Ogudo didn't answer Wren's question directly, he closed his eyes as if he was thinking, as if he was simulating a battle.
When he opened his eyes again, he shook his head at Wren and said:
"There are so many unknowns! Especially the two mages. On this sea, my realm has no advantage over their magic. ”
Seeing that Wren was about to think about the plan again, Ogudo hurriedly added: "But the probability of me winning against them is still very high." Just let me board their ship so that the distance between the mage and me doesn't get too fast. ”
Hearing Ogudo say that he had a chance to win his opponent, Wren's eyes were reassured.
With the captain of the opposing side being good, and the extremely fast frigate, it may no longer be so easy to escape from the opponent's hands.
Now you can only survive by fighting the enemy.
Since Ogudo has a chance of winning, then everything is centered on Ogudo and winning this battle.
"How many helpers do you need? There are four enemies, and I'm not very good, but if I have a shield, I can help you hold one of them down in a short time. ”
Although I know that Ogudo alone should be enough to deal with it, but after all, this is a battle of life,
All sorts of things can happen.
To be able to fight for Ogudo for one more point of victory, that is better than one less.
Ogudo was well aware of this, so he did not refuse Wren's entry into the war:
"Take a squad of ten. As long as you can help me hold off one of them for at least five minutes, I'll be able to finish them all. ”
Five minutes!?
Although five minutes is not a long time in normal times, the worst enemy is the third level of the quasi-sword master, and Wren himself is only the fifth level of the warrior.
This kind of gap is actually very large, and it is already very powerful to be able to drag it for a minute or two, but it is necessary to drag it for five minutes.
Unless the opponent does not use his true strength.
"Okay! let's do it! get on their ship!" Wren finally decided to give it a try.
Hold the other party for five minutes, not necessarily by fighting.
