The soldiers on the battlefield were very fast, and after agreeing to come down without delay, Hudson took Cailliaud directly on the road and flew directly to Port Hansen. Diaphragm

Looking at the naval fleet gathered by the Dalton family, Hudson was about to drool with envy.

There are two first-class capital ships (over 3,000 tons), five second-class capital ships (over 2,000 tons), 13 third-class capital ships (over 1,000 tons), and more than 30 auxiliary warships of various types.

Looking at the lineup, you can see that the Dalton family suffered a lot of losses in the previous naval battle, and estimated that the warships that could be mobilized nearby were all sent, obviously not ready to leave a way for the pirates to survive.

Hudson had no sympathy for the pirates, and was able to come out and do such a business, his hands were full of sins, and he pulled them all out and cut them down, without any wrongdoing.

"Cayo, let your men go!"

Hudson said without changing his face.

No matter how envious you are, you can't show it. If you are treated as a bun, it will hurt people. Diaphragm

Don't look at the size of the fleet, in fact, the status of the navy in the Dalton family is not high, or in most countries in the continent of Aslant is not high.

The foundations are all on the mainland, and no matter how powerful the naval fleet is, there is no way to go ashore.

Most of the nobles did not pay attention to the development of the navy, and the Dalton family was able to come up with such a lineup, mainly for the needs of maritime trade.

For Hudson, it was not difficult to build such a fleet.

As long as you are willing to throw money into it, you can build a ship in two or three years; The trouble is that there are no officers and men capable of maneuvering the warship.

The group of sailors obtained from the royal family can only be said to be able to drive warships, and the overall quality is not high.

This means that for a long time to come, the naval fleet of the Mountain Territory will be just a spectacle. Diaphragm

Relying on the strength of the ship and the strength of the artillery, it is estimated that there are not many problems with bullying a small group of pirates. When you meet the regular army, it will be a tragedy.

Cayo, whose face was pale, nodded at Hudson, and ordered the middle-aged man in a daze: "Uncle Byron, order the fleet to set sail!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he vomited directly on the boat. Obviously, the dragon mount is not that easy to rub on.

Viscount Cayo, who received the ticket, was looking for excitement the whole time. With this unforgettable trip, it is estimated that he will never want to come back again.

Maxim had a temper. The treatment of the dragon knight is not available to everyone, unless the money is added in place.

I didn't have time to negotiate the price, so I went straight on the road, and the treatment was naturally not much better.

Originally, Hudson wanted to help Cayo get it, but later considering that talking about money hurts feelings, he simply let him choose whether to ride a griffon or a dragon. Diaphragm

The young Viscount Cailliaud was very unfortunate to choose the latter. I went back and bragged with my friends, but the price I paid was a bit big.

A few hiccups didn't affect the trip. After feeling the charm of the sea on the splint, Hudson decisively went to the cabin.

Originally, he wanted to command the fleet across the seas, but the wind and waves were too great to withstand the toss, so he had to cancel the plan.

Perhaps in a hurry, the magic array has been driven with all its might, and there is no time to calculate the specific sailing speed.

Just by feeling it, Hudson knew that the overall performance of his warship, which was still on the slipway, had fallen behind.

The times are advancing, and technology is iterating. Hudson suddenly understood why the people of the Holy See were so happy with their trading skills back then.

It is clear that he is bullying the mountain leader to be poor and white, and after he completes the initial primitive accumulation, the original advanced technology has become backward technology. Diaphragm

In fact, after so many years, Hudson still hasn't been able to digest the technology he got back then.

To be precise, all the technical data of shipbuilding are silent in the warehouse, and no one cares about it. Even after getting the Berkshire shipyard, there is still no way to digest it.

In the era of feudal lords, the population movement was very small, and it was full of technical terminology with a large number of dialect characteristics, and no one could understand the mountain lords at all.

If he hadn't bought the Berkshire shipyard, Hudson might have gone to the Holy See's shipyard to arrest someone in a hurry.

There is no need now, it will take time for the mountain to digest the Berkshire shipyard at this moment, and there is no need to rush to decipher these shipbuilding materials.

The gap in the shipbuilding concept of the Aslant continent is still very large. With the addition of magic as a special factor, it is difficult to reach a technical consensus.

After all, science is not talked about here. Diaphragm

The quality of the shipbuilding concept is only a small part of the construction in the early stage, and the supporting facilities such as the magic array and the magic crystal cannon behind it are the decisive factors.

With all kinds of seemingly unreasonable and unscientific layouts, combined with extraordinary factors, everything can become logical.

If you don't know it, you can join, and Hudson is not a naval engineer, so he can't afford to stumble on this.

……

"Brutebeard, what the hell are you doing? Why has I been shuttling through the fog for so long and still haven't been able to find Poison Dragon Island? ”

The old man in the sacrificial robe reprimanded sharply.

Although there is no coastline in the Aslant continent, everyone still acquiesces that whoever is close to the sea is whose sphere of influence. Diaphragm

In the waters of Poison Dragon Island, the nearest country is the Alpha Kingdom, which is naturally regarded as its own sphere of influence by the Alpha Person.

Because of the lack of economic benefits in this place, ships are easy to get lost in it, and it is regarded as an ominous place, and the Alpha Kingdom does not care about Poison Dragon Island.

If they come over secretly, no matter how they toss, no one will know.

It's a pity that the navy of the Dalton family in front of him fought and exposed himself. If they don't finish things quickly and leave, and wait for the other party to react, it won't be so simple for them to leave.

"My lord, the sea area of Poison Dragon Island is also known as the Misty Sea Area, and the area covered by clouds and mist is said to be hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, and the entire area is just an island, and there is no reference coordinates.

Here, the line of sight of ordinary people is less than 100 meters. Everywhere you look, it's all gray.

After entering this sea area, ships are most likely to lose their way. Whether or not you can reach the legendary Poison Dragon Island depends entirely on luck. Diaphragm

Back then, I was able to leave safely when I strayed into this place, completely thanks to the blessing of the Lord of the Morning Sun! ”

Brutebeard hurriedly explained.

In order to prove that he had done his best, he still held the chart as he spoke, and pointed to his hair that was about to be caught bald.

The sacrificial old man was about to get angry, but was stopped by a middle-aged knight behind him. In this special place, the pirates in front of them are more reliable than their group of masters.

If they are accidentally lost here, even if they are the top powerhouses in the continent, they may also lose their lives.

"Alright, Josipp. As one of the top ten dangerous places, Poison Dragon Island would not have such a big name if it was so easy to find.

Brutebeard, keep looking according to your experience. Seven days later, if we haven't found Poison Dragon Island, we'll leave this area first. "Ahh

Jelačić said kindly.

It's just that this scene fell into the eyes of the brute-bearded man, but it was even more terrible than the reprimand of the old man just now. At least the former is still a normal person, and the latter is purely a madman.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the ascetics of the Holy See are a group of people who are pious, moral, modest, and jealous...... The moral perfection of the people.

But the brute beard who followed the Holy See knew very well that all this was an illusion. The ascetics are so noble, and the Holy See does not have so much dirt.

Faith is pious, everything else is fictional. Most ascetics are insane, giving everything in their lives to the gods, and their minds are full of the glory of the Lord of the Dawn.

It's easy to talk now, that's because he is one of the few people on the mainland who has entered Poison Dragon Island and can still come out alive.

Once the task is not completed, the other party will turn their faces in the next second. In the eyes of this group of madmen, the gods are the greatest. Diaphragm

Pirates who do not do their jobs well have no value of existence at all, and surviving is a blasphemy against the gods.

From the beginning of this operation, in the eyes of this group of madmen, they are already dead.

"Two adults, please rest assured, I will definitely find Poison Dragon Island!"

Brute Beard hurriedly reassured.

Deep down, he has already begun to scold his mother. Why hasn't the Dalton family arrived yet, and without external forces to join, he has no way to turn the tables!

There are indeed a lot of pirates, but most of them are just strong men with a bit of force, and they are essentially a rabble. It's okay to bully ordinary people, but it's not worth mentioning at all in the face of extraordinary power.

Now there were people from the Holy See on every boat, nominally for the convenience of residence, but in fact they were secretly watching him from playing tricks. Diaphragm

After a slight hesitation, the bearded man spoke again: "Two adults, the fog obstructs the view too badly, and the area of Poison Dragon Island is not large, so we may not be able to find it if we pass by.

If a magician can intervene to dispel the fog near the fleet, it will definitely be of great help in the next search for Poison Dragon Island! ”

On the sincere face, there is no problem in sight. It also sounds realistic to have a magician do his hand to disperse the fog that has enveloped the fleet.

The only problem is that there are no magicians among the pirates, and the only way to do it is to rely on the Holy See. It is also a dangerous thing to spend a lot of mana in such a place.

"Good!"

Jelačić agreed so readily that Bishop Jozep couldn't stop it. He hesitated slightly, but finally nodded.

Even if the magicians in the team don't make a move, they have the confidence to suppress this group of pirates. Even if the pirate leader in front of him was really calculating, he was confident that he could suppress it. Diaphragm

……

Beyond the fog, Hudson and his party stopped.

"Dear Earl Hudson, the misty area ahead is the famous Poison Dragon Island Sea, and we also call him the Misty Sea.

The fog on the periphery is not very large, and the further you go inside, the lower the visibility, and it is impossible to discern the direction at all. Once deep in it, it is difficult to find a way back, and ships go missing here every year.

Only a once-in-a-decade storm at sea can blow away the fog and reveal the true face of the sea.

For this mysterious sea, the kingdom has also organized people to explore, and even landed on the legendary Poison Dragon Island, but the island is too dangerous.

Of the expedition of 300 men, only five survived. The survivors seem to have experienced a great terror and are silent about the island, and we don't have detailed information in our hands. Diaphragm

What is uncertain now is whether the pirates who entered the sea area strayed into it, or whether they went in specifically to find the legendary treasure.

Poison Dragon Island is too dangerous for even if you go deep into it, you may not be able to meet the pirates.

Near the Misty Sea, only the route in this direction has been opened, and the other areas are all unfamiliar seas, full of unknown risks, if they can survive, there is a high probability that they will have to return from this vicinity.

Whether they're in it by mistake or want to go in for a treasure hunt, we just have to keep them here! ”

Byron explained with a smile.

Chasing the murderer in the vast sea must pay attention to skill. If you foolishly follow the enemy's butt and chase after you, you don't know how to die.

There are too many risks in unfamiliar routes, uncertain storms, human-hating sea tribes, powerful magical beasts, special terrain...... Diaphragm

In either case, the fleet can suffer heavy losses or even be wiped out.

"Well, then wait for ......"

Before Hudson could finish his words, three ships with strange paintings appeared in his sight.

Even from miles away, he felt an evil aura rushing towards him, as if he were coming from the Abyss Region.

Byron on the side exclaimed: "Ghost ship!

Three ghost ships are heading in our direction.

Oops, we're being targeted! Diaphragm

The order was given, and everyone immediately prepared for battle. The Crystal Cannons are all loaded, aim at the three ghost ships, and shell them as soon as they are in range! ”

Hudson had also heard of the "ghost ship". People who beg for a living at sea are most afraid of encountering this group of monsters.

It is said that the "ghost ship" is full of ghosts, and some of them still retain some memories of their lives. They've been dead for years, and these guys still think they're still alive and often come out to rob merchants.

It's a bloody battle, and ordinary physical attacks don't have much lethality against these monsters.

Only extraordinary powers such as knights and magicians can truly kill these ghosts.

The trouble is that after these ghosts are killed, they will soon be resurrected on the ship. They can only be destroyed by destroying the ghost ship itself.

The newborn ghost ship is similar to an ordinary ship, and it is not very difficult to destroy. Diaphragm

However, ghost ships and ghosts can also grow, and they can continue to grow stronger as long as they kill. Some powerful ghost ships that even the military will find tricky.

Most of the time, the best option for encountering a ghost ship is to fire the cannon immediately, and if the magic crystal cannon scares them away, these guys will leave on their own.

Once you get close to start the bloody battle mode, you will often lose a lot. As long as the strength allows, the navies of the major powers will try their best to encircle and suppress the ghost ship when it encounters it.

"Uncle Byron, are these three ghost ships powerful?"

Viscount Cayo asked with a pale face.

Along the way, he has suffered a lot. First he was tossed by Maxim's prank to vomit, and then he was bumpy at sea.

Originally, Byron arranged for the priest to treat him, but was politely rejected by the life-saving Viscount Cailliaud, and only took a pair of magic potions. Diaphragm

"Ghost ships are usually seen alone, rarely in groups, and at night.

Being able to come out and rob during the day means that the ghosts on the ship have grown to the point where they can ignore the damage of the sun.

The three ghost ships acting together means that the ghosts on board have good intelligence, or they have recovered a lot of memories from their previous lives.

The last time we killed a ghost ship that appeared during the day was thirty years ago, we lost three warships and lost more than 800 soldiers, including a Earth Knight.

Three ghost ships appeared together during the day, the most recent being a hundred years ago. Let's bump into it today, and I'm afraid there will be a vicious battle next! ”

】

After sighing, Byron suddenly said, "Earl Hudson, you are the most powerful.

When the fight breaks out later, the matter of destroying the ghost ship will be up to you! "Ahh

In his heart, he already secretly admired Earl Pierce's foresight and helped pull reinforcements in advance.

If it weren't for Hudson, a powerful thug, his first instinct would have been to give the order to run away.

As much as he can run, experience tells him that he must not fight hard with a ghost ship of unknown strength.

When encountering this group of monsters, no matter how many ordinary soldiers there are, it is meaningless. Only a true master can destroy these weird guys.

"Don't worry, I'll find a chance to make a move!"

Hudson said with a steady.

Deep down, he already had some doubts that he was the protagonist. Originally, I just followed out to make a soy sauce and gain experience in naval warfare, and I ran into a ghost ship of this level. Diaphragm
