Chapter 296: The Octopus King's Counterattack
Bligh Island, another island on the route from Turtle Island to Bone Island, is also the only way to get to Bone Island.
At this moment, on the back side of Bligh Island, there are five heavily armed sea vessels.
These are just one of the scattered people of the Divine Authority, who has just received news from the Son of Heaven and has been ordered to ambush the ghost captain here.
"Attention to the teams, half a nautical mile ahead, a three-masted galleon appears ......"
At this time, the voices of the investigators were heard in the midst of everyone's communication.
"Are you sure it's Captain Ghost's ship?"
"Confirm!"
"Quantity?"
"Only one!"
"Okay, everyone, act now, make sure to intercept the other party......"
…… Initial website p://m.biquke.
With the order given by the commander of the ranks, all five ships sailed out of the island, lined up on the side of Bligh Island, and forcibly stopped the course of the three-masted galleon in front.
"Attention, there's fog ahead!"
It's just that everyone has just taken their positions, and before they have time to fire, someone has reported the changes on the sea ahead.
A thick layer of mist rose abruptly, enveloping the schooners ahead and spreading rapidly in their direction.
"It's fog again, but luckily we prepared in advance!"
"Be serious, guard your own defensive range, prevent the opponent from sneaking over, and prepare to ...... through the fog mirror"
In the face of the sudden white fog, everyone did not panic, after all, it was something they had already seen, and they suffered a big loss last time, and of course they had prepared a way to deal with it after they went back.
The fog-breaking mirror, a special prop for navigation in the sea area of the Astral Spirit Realm, is similar in appearance to a monocular, which is dedicated to breaking the fog at sea, and you can directly see the scene after the fog through the lens.
At this moment, two scouts on the five ships took out the fog-breaking mirror at the same time and looked into the fog.
"I've found the other party's ship, and it's still on the original route!"
The first message was quickly delivered through the reading.
However, the news that came back from the next investigation began to deviate.
"Huh? They seem to be speeding towards us......"
"What's going on? He wants to crash with us? ”
……
Generally speaking, the other party must create fog in order to escape while confusing the enemy, who can hide in the fog, but still have to sail straight and straight, looking at the posture seems to be planning to have a brainless physical collision with them.
"It's okay, if he wants to bump, let him bump, keep their respective positions, and continue to investigate!" The commander made a quick decision.
If the other party really wants to exchange one for one with them, that's a good thing, let alone one for one, even if you use all five of their ships here to exchange one of the other party's shipwrecks, it's definitely worth it.
"That's not right! The other party doesn't seem to be a ship, and there are other ships following ......" At this time, the exclamation of the scouts suddenly came from the reading.
"How many are there?"
"I don't know, I can't see clearly...... Wait, there seems to be another ship! ”
"What the hell is going on?"
"There are at least three ships in the White Mist right now, no, four...... It's not right either......"
At this moment, in the perspective of the investigators, through the light of the fog-breaking mirror, in the fog opposite, the original three-masted galleon has become three at some point, and the three sea ships are rushing side by side.
But that wasn't the end of it, and more and more ships began to emerge from the sea.
As if they had come out of the water, the ships lined up one after the other around the original three-masted schooner, firmly guarding them, and rushing towards the direction of the crowd at great speed.
"Ten, ten ships!"
"There are a total of ten ships on the other side, and all of them are large pirate ships!"
In the team's communication channel, the voices of the investigators were surprised.
"What are you kidding?" The person in charge of the command is somewhat incredible.
All the information they have so far has shown that Captain Ghost has not joined forces with other player forces, not to mention, they just saw that only one ship on the other side broke into it single-handedly, why did it suddenly become ten?
At this time, not only the command staff was down, but everyone else also began to play the drums, and the situation that was originally five to one instantly became ten to five, and they were actually crushed in terms of numbers, not to mention that there was also a ship in which the legendary master was in charge, how could this be fought?
Everyone was anxiously waiting for the new command, but before they could wait for the new order, a dragon roar sounded above everyone's heads.
"Roar!"
The roar was like rolling thunder, setting off layers of sound waves on the sea, and the deafening sound instantly spread throughout the battlefield.
Everyone subconsciously looked up, and saw a black dragon with a wingspan of nearly 100 meters, breaking through the white mist, soaring upward, hovering above everyone's heads.
The black dragon's back was as thick as a mountain, its wings were as wide as clouds, its broad body almost obscured the sky, and the violent air currents were lifted by the pile of dragon wings, causing huge waves on the surface of the sea.
Everyone watched this scene in shock, many people had heard of the dragon's name, but it was the first time they really saw it, and they were shocked and speechless for a while.
This is not only the shock brought by the size, but also the rushing dragon power, which makes everyone even forget to resist for a while.
"It's not good, spread out!"
The commander reacted fairly quickly and hurriedly changed the order.
It's a pity that it's still a step too late after all.
After circling for a week, the black dragon hovered above the ship in the middle, raised its neck, opened its huge mouth, and spewed out a mouthful of liquid flame downward!
Don't look at it, but this is also relative to the size of the dragon, in fact, just one breath of fire is enough to completely cover a ship below.
The blazing air flow was overwhelming, and the sea below suddenly burned into a sea of fire!
The high temperature instantly burned the main body of the ship, and countless people jumped into the sea to escape in horror.
Players from nearby ships counterattacked, and they were easily blown away by the air currents set off by the dragon's wings, and even if they occasionally hit, they didn't hurt or itch on the solid dragon skin.
However, this is only the prelude to the battle.
Immediately afterwards, the shouts of human beings sounded in the fog, and several warships rushed out of the dense fog one after another, crashing straight into the five ships on the opposite side.
After the impact, a large number of people dressed as pirates jump onto the player's ship, smirk, and brandish their weapons to start burning and looting.
Where have players seen this kind of battle, being dealt with by their own enemies several times over, and the defenses of the five ships are almost all crushed with a single blow......
Dozens of seconds later, the Son of Heaven and others, who were dozens of nautical miles away, received the news together: the five warships on Bligh Island were all sunk within one minute of the battle!
"So fast?" The ten people present were stunned.
At this time, they had just broken out of the undersea prison and came to the ground of Turtle Island, and were hurrying in the direction of the port.
As a result, they received the news of their defeat on the way, and they were all quite surprised: there are five ships, one or two hundred people, and the other party only has one ship, no matter how powerful the ghost captain is, it is impossible to wipe them out so quickly, right?
"What the hell is going on?" Smile hurriedly looked at the Son of Heaven, he knew that the Son of Heaven should have received a more detailed battle report.
The Son of Heaven sighed, shook his head and said, "The other party has received the help of the Dragoon Pirates......"
This explanation alone was enough, and the others looked at each other, and they all showed strange looks.
The Dragoon Pirates, which are the best local pirate forces in the Evil Spirit Sea, will not be inferior to them in terms of size or combat effectiveness at sea.
It is a fool's dream for them to rely on only five ships and one or two hundred people to intercept a pirate group of this level at sea!
As for why the other party was able to get the help of the Dragoon Pirates...... This one is also easy to guess: because Captain Ghost completed the Prison Break bounty for the Dragoon Pirates.
And getting the support of the Dragoon Pirates is one of the rewards for completing the bounty.
"It seems that this matter has been a hoax from beginning to end......" smiled and shook his head.
Judging from the current situation, the collaborator in Jack's mouth has obviously fallen to Captain Ghost a long time ago, and this matter has been secretly arranged by Captain Ghost from the beginning, first misleading Jack, and then passing on wrong information to them through Jack's mouth, and finally inducing the meeting location in the special environment of the undersea prison.
And one of the most important reasons why they will all be deceived is because no one expected that Captain Ghost would have the ability to break through the defense system of the submarine prison, and do all kinds of outrageous things in the prison without being discovered by the octopus king.
"It's too insidious!"
The others also scolded in their hearts, but they were helpless, because in the final analysis, they still have the ability to surpass everyone's expectations and dare to do whatever they want under the nose of the octopus king, which they are not convinced of.
"Let all the men along the road retreat to Bone Island." The Son of Heaven spoke at this time.
With the forces of the Dragoon Pirate Regiment to escort them, the defense lines they arranged along the road will all become refueling tactics, and it is better to gather together quickly and fight in front of the last line of defense, and there is still a chance to delay the footsteps of the other party.
The others had no objection, and after the order was quickly issued, the group hurried to the front of the port and went out to sea by boat. At the moment, the defense is empty, and the most important thing is that they should rush to the front line as soon as possible.
……
Above the sea, the huge black dragon still hovered high in the sky, like a navigator, guiding the way for the fleet below.
"It's really handsome......"
Mu You stood on the deck, looking at the figure of the giant dragon in the sky, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes, thinking about when his two-headed dragon would be able to pull it out......
Of course, this day is not far away, because at this time he has already received the dragon training stone given by the Dragoon Pirates, and this time he can go back, he can start hatching dragon eggs.
"Is that all?"
On the ship next to him, Finn, the captain of the Dragoon Pirates, shouted to Mu You.
"Don't tell me, you hired us just to deal with this bale enemy!"
Finn thought that the other party would spend so much effort that he would not hesitate to go to the undersea prison to make a fuss, and also recruit their pirate group, and the goal would at least be to deal with evenly matched forces.
Before this departure, Finn was ready for a bloody battle. Outcome...... That's it?
The people on the five ships just now, Finn could see at a glance that they were all strangers who did not have any experience in naval warfare, and at this level of opponent, not to mention that their main force was fully dispatched, even if it was only one ship, it was enough to easily defeat the opponent.
So Finn was very disappointed, if it was just an opponent of this level, it would be enough to find an ordinary pirate group to deal with it, and it would be overkill to deliberately let them dragoon pirate group deal with this kind of rookie.
"Don't worry, this is just the beginning, there are still opponents ahead." Mu lobbied.
He didn't expect that in terms of naval warfare, the gap between players and real local pirates was so big, and the battle scene just now could be described as 'devastating', and the men of the Son of Heaven were killed almost as soon as they met, and they couldn't find the north, and then they were in a state of escape, and they had no will to fight at all.
"Woo ......"
When Mu You was about to say something, a distant and loud hissing sound suddenly came from the sea behind him.
This voice is so familiar, Mu You has heard it at least twice, and he will never admit it: this is the voice of the octopus king!
"Look at the back!"
At this time, someone from the Dragoon Pirates next to him screamed in surprise.
Everyone looked back and saw that in the direction they came, about a dozen nautical miles away, that is, the location of Turtle Island, an extremely large octopus head surfaced, followed by eight claws, and the body of an octopus, which climbed onto the island in turn.
Tens of seconds later, a full-fledged giant octopus crawled out of the water and stood on the island.
The octopus was as tall as a mountain, with a pair of azure eyes that opened from its dark skin, and looked down condescendingly at all the creatures below.
After a few seconds, the Octopus King seemed to sense something, his mouth opened, and he let out an angry roar, and a muffled thunderous hiss rolled through, shaking the entire Evil Spirit Sea with trembling.
"This thing woke up so quickly...... "Looking at the arrogant octopus figure in the distance, Mu You frowned secretly. At that time, he left more than ten cans of high-quality sleeping potion before leaving, thinking that he would be able to sleep the octopus king for at least half a day, but he didn't expect that it was only a few dozen minutes, and the other party had already woken up early......
It seems that using too many potions at once is also easy to make the other party resistant.
"Tsk, I've never seen the Octopus King so angry, it seems that this time we really offended it to death......" On the boat next to him, Finn looked at the Octopus King in the distance, and his face was also full of solemnity.
"What are you going to do next?" Mu You asked Finn.
"No way, I'll help you deal with this matter first, and then lead people to withdraw from the Evil Spirit Sea, and go outside to avoid the limelight first......" Finn shook his head and smiled bitterly. As for the safety of the fleet, he didn't worry too much, anyway, the Octopus King couldn't leave the Evil Spirit Sea, as long as he could escape from the sea area, no matter how strong the Octopus King was, he couldn't do anything about them.
"Ship, Captain, why does the King Octopus seem to be keeping an eye on us?" At this moment, one of Finn's men spoke in disbelief.
Mu You and Finn looked over again, only to find that the octopus king's eyes were really focused on their direction, and now there were dozens of nautical miles between the two sides, and there were various fogs in the middle, and their ships should be just small dots in the eyes of the octopus king.
However, at this time, the octopus king's eyes seemed to have locked on them......
Just when a bad premonition began to rise in everyone's hearts, the octopus king in the distance suddenly curled up with eight claws, like a spring, and jumped up from Turtle Island.
This jump jumped directly into the air several thousand meters in the air, and then fell straight from the sky.
A giant creature with a length of several kilometers falls straight into the sea from a height of several thousand meters, and the results can be imagined.
"Puff ......"
The octopus king smashed into the sea like a cannonball, and immediately set off a tsunami several hundred meters high in the same place, centered on the landing point, and spread out at a rapid speed in all directions.
Not only that, after the octopus king fell into the water, he quickly jumped up again and repeated the action just now.
Tsunamis began to emerge one after the other, one wave higher than the other.
Mu You, Finn and the others were all dumbfounded, the Octopus King was really angry, and he planned to directly stir up the entire sea area?
"Nima, get out of the boat!"
Seeing the tsunami hitting at great speed, Finn hurriedly ordered the fleet to speed up and run, and Mu You immediately adjusted the course of the Ghost and moved forward at full speed.
A tsunami of several hundred meters is enough to push all the ships and islands at sea, and more importantly, this is a combination of punches, bearing the impact of several more waves of tsunamis, I am afraid that all ships will have to be dismembered on the spot.
