Just as Nock was singing with the beautiful lady and relieving the loneliness,

He found out that they had been robbed!

The climate of the Mediterranean is not sunny every day.

Especially in winter, the hazy drizzle always occupies most of the time.

That's why Nock was able to develop so quickly with the lady next door.

After all, on the days when you can't go out, you can only have more in-depth exchanges,

You test my depth, and I grope your strengths.

Learn more about each other, and the relationship will naturally warm.

But such a wonderful day was broken with a scream.

"Sea - Pirate ——!"

The shouts of the lookouts alarmed the crew working on deck,

Then came the guests of the guest rooms and the captain, and then the guards hired by Grande.

The first mate was calmly at the helm, trying to shake off the pirate ship that was sneaking in on the rain.

The lookout was still holding a telescope and continued to observe the enemy in the rear, reporting the enemy's distance and movement at any time.

When Nock heard the shout, he was doing cardio with the beautiful lady.

As a result, a "pirate" made the frightened lady suddenly exert force,

It directly made Nock out of breath and defeated, ending this aerobic workout.

Nock looked at the billions of troops who died on the floor in chagrin, and decided to go to the deck to see what was going on.

If you have the chance, you will definitely kill a few pirates to get revenge.

softly comforted a few frightened ladies,

Nock went back to his room, changed into clean clothes and weapons,

Then he closed the door and headed for the deck.

Although he didn't know the lady's name, he called her sweetheart.

She didn't know his name either, but she called him Henny.

Nock felt that since he had promised her to send a little angel to her husband,

Then he should keep her safe on the journey.

The guards on the ship are actually an adventure group, or a very powerful adventure group.

Everyone is a silver-level silver adventurer.

This is also Grandet's big deal.

However, by today's adventurer union, gold adventurers have emerged in an endless stream.

Silver-level adventurers are not uncommon.

However, the gold content of the silver-level adventure group is still very high.

At least, ordinary thieves would not dare to provoke easily when they encountered such a configuration.

It's just that this time, in front of this group of pirates, the name of the silver-level adventure group is not very easy to use.

In the end, the merchant ships did not escape the siege of the pirate ships.

Because in addition to one main ship, the pirates also have several small runabouts.

Using a warrior professional as a rower, this speed is not at all comparable to that of ordinary sailors.

It is even said that they took advantage of the rain curtain and the cape of the mainland to shield them and set up an ambush in advance.

Hit the merchant ship by surprise.

The adventure group hired by Grandet has already met with the pirate's principals.

It's just that the results of the communication are not ideal.

Even if the leader of the adventure group shows his strength at the pinnacle of silver,

and expressed his willingness to pay a toll of one hundred denarii.

The other party refused to agree to let the merchant ship go,

Battle, it can be said that it is imminent.

Now, under the pretext of asking the cargo owners of merchant ships to increase tolls,

I got the time and opportunity to discuss.

Originally, at such times, except for the ship's guards and seafarers, guests were not allowed to move around.

The people under the cabin, even the lady's guards, had been placed under forced house arrest.

At such times, any inappropriate behavior will attract misunderstanding from the shipowner, who will regard him as an enemy.

But Nock's appearance was tacitly approved by Grande.

He stopped the guards who tried to restrain Nok's movements.

"Captain Klock, let's be straightforward, this is my trusted friend, let him listen to it,

Maybe they can help come up with a solution to the dilemma at hand. ”

Hearing what his employer said, Captain Klock didn't have much to say.

He immediately stated the current situation on his side.

"According to my temptation just now, the other party did not run into us by chance.

It's not once or twice that our adventuring group has served as a guard for merchant ships.

If I'm not mistaken, the pirate ship should belong to the Aria Pirates,

The leader is said to be the fastest promoted newcomer recently, and he is also the most ruthless guy.

He's probably already eyeing us in the port of Venice,

He followed us all the way, deliberately rushing to the front to ambush and intercept us when we were not looking.

I'm afraid that this time, they will be eyeing the cargo and people of our entire ship.

goods, they want. people, they want it too. ”

Hearing Klock's words, Grandet couldn't help but frown.

He asked with luck, "Is there really no room for turning around?" ”

Klock shook his head, and with a message, he saved his employer from luck.

"It is said that the newcomer has a nickname called Cold-Blooded Hawkes, and the ships he has robbed,

never left a living mouth, even those travelers who were kidnapped by him, and then demanded a ransom,

He would still brutally kill travelers.

is a notorious guy who even his peers think he breaks the rules.

Only the Arian Pirates are willing to protect him all the time.

A lot of people want to kill him, a guy with bad rules.

On the wanted list of the Adventure Guild, this guy is in third place.

The families of countless victims have put together a huge bounty.

But no matter how many people have made a move, they have never succeeded.

On the contrary, those who were going to attack him ended up with death.

Not a single live mouth.

No one knows what he looks like or how old he is.

I only know that he is a newcomer, very young, and ruthless.

The rest, only those who have seen his true face know.

Therefore, even if it is for the sake of secrecy, he will not let us go.

I guess they are afraid that we will resist, and they are trying to trick us into surrendering.

So the pirate flag was not raised.

But they didn't expect that I had fought with the Arria Pirates.

Recognized a small leader on the ship.

That's why I excused myself to talk about the money to buy the road, and I took the opportunity to tell you the truth.

If you are willing to give up this cargo, we can try to escort you to the shore in a small boat.

It's less than twenty nautical miles from the coastline, and we still have a chance to escape.

If you do not want to, then we can only try our best to reach the enemy, making ships with the opportunity to escape.

If we fail, we will choose to abandon the mission, abandon the ship, and flee for our lives.

Whether you oppose it or not.

I believe you can understand which is more important, money or life. ”

Hearing Klock's confession, Grandet's face was full of struggle.

"You can't do that! I've paid for it! You've been tasked with protecting my merchant ship even if you die!

Without this shipment, what is the point of my life! This ship is half of my wealth!

I finally waited for this grand event of the Holy Court, just to give it a go!

How could I just give up! ”

Grandet was so excited that he didn't even notice that the sky was beginning to rain heavily.

The sound of rain drowned out Grande's fury, but it didn't dampen Nock's hearing.

He pulled Grandet past him, then slapped Klock.

However, Klock had always been wary of this young man who dared to appear on deck at such a time.

From the moment he suspected that the merchant ship was being targeted, he suspected that there were pirate spies on board.

Therefore, when he saw Nock suddenly attacking him, he hurriedly retreated, shouting, "What a bold spy,

I've been guarding against you for a long time! Look for death! ”

roared, and he was about to fight back.

However, a dark shadow passed in front of his eyes, and with a "bang" pierced into the deck.

"It's ...... Cold Arrow! ”

Klock looked at the still trembling arrow feathers, and was terrified.

also reacted that Nok was not trying to attack him, but to save him!

"Enemy attack! Negotiations break down, everyone! Start fighting back! Fight to the death! ”

Cross didn't have time to thank Nock and hurriedly fulfilled his duties as a commander.

The order was given loudly.

There are less than twenty people in the escape adventure group, although everyone is an elite,

But on the sea, it's the home of pirates.

Although Klock's party's party, too, was often tasked with guarding merchant ships,

But it's not always the case that you will encounter pirates and fight.

But pirates roam the sea every day, and the experience of killing and fighting they experience,

Far more than an adventure party.

More adapted to how to fight in a harsh environment than an adventuring party.

If it's a sunny day, the adventuring group may be able to fight back and forth with the pirate group with their strength.

But in this pouring rain, and under the raging waves,

The members of the adventuring group had obstructed their line of sight and could not stand steadily, making it difficult to launch effective counterattacks and defenses.

In just one shot, he was wounded by pirates who boarded the ship with a rope and broke the defensive line.

Seeing this, Nock pushed Grandet into the cabin and shouted, "There must be a pirate traitor in the cabin,

Now you go to the cabin and gather the people you trust, and then put everyone in the guard.

It doesn't matter what their identity is, if someone questions you, you directly say that there is a mole,

For their own safety, real guests will not make trouble.

Only a mole can't wait to stir things up at such a time. You must thunder and take them down,

Put them in the eye of the crowd and never detain them alone.

As for the deck, leave it to us. If we lose, your resistance will be in vain.

So, what you have to do now is to give us a stable rear, otherwise we will fight to the death to win the pirates,

The rear is occupied by pirates, and that's a dead end! ”

After Nock finished explaining, regardless of what Grandet thought, he closed the door to the cabin and rushed towards the crumbling defenses.

"Arrow of Punishment!"

Nock summons an arrow of light that pierces a pirate who attempts to sneak up on an adventurer, killing him outright.

Then he threw out a healing spell and landed on the injured adventurer.

"Get up for me! Retreat to the vicinity of the cabin and meet the enemy with your back to the cabin!

If you are not injured, drag the injured to the cabin and wait for treatment!

Fast! ”

Nock roared in command.

Hearing Nock's order, many adventurers were not convinced.

I just wanted to see which bastard was directing indiscriminately, but I saw Nock string the two pirates with a light spear in one hand.

Then he flicked his hand and flew into the distance, while the other hand was unleashing healing spells to treat the injured members of the party nearby.

Seeing this scene, no one dared to speak back.

In addition, when Klock heard Nock's command, he immediately chimed in: "Everyone listen to this priest!" Fast! ”

Klock doesn't know Nok's identity, but Nok's signature spell of the Holy Church clergy,

His status as a priest is unquestionable, but with Nock's age, Klock thinks Nock is a priest.

Nock showed far more strength than a priest could do.

He could only boldly guess that this was a genius priest.

But he didn't know that his bold guess was still not bold enough.

With Klock's continuation, everyone began to obey Nock's command.

In addition to Klock's adventure group, the ship's crew was also fighting.

Although they are not professionals, they are battle-hardened combatants.

After all, not everyone in pirates is professional.

In terms of individual strength, the merchant ship is crushing the pirate ship.

But the corsair ships have more fighters than merchant ships, plus the restrictions of the sea,

The professionals of the adventuring group simply can't play the strength they should.

The rough sea is enough to give a headache to those who need to concentrate in order to release their spells.

Not to mention that the view was blocked by heavy rain.

They can't tell the difference between friend and foe, and when they see the enemy clearly, the enemy's knife will cut at themselves.

Fortunately, the appearance of Nock changed the situation of the one-sided battle.

"Holy Shelter Enchantment!"

Seeing that his fighters had retreated to the vicinity of the cabin, Nock directly released a huge shield,

Wrap everyone in your side.

The barrier kept the rain out of the barrier, and everyone suddenly felt that their eyes were bright, and their vision was no longer blocked.

"All those who can still move, attack from a distance to the outside, as long as you can see the figure, just fight!

If you don't have a remote means, help me move the wounded near me! Fast! ”

Nock roared, but his hands opened left and right to release the healing technique.

Fortunately, most people are just flesh wounds, a super treatment to go down,

The wound is basically healed, and it does not affect the battle.

Occasionally, when encountering a seriously injured and dying, Nock also pulled people back with a healing aura and holy healing technique.

The tide of the battle was suddenly reversed by Nock and turned into a stalemate.

"Steady! We have a cure on our side, give me a hard fight back against them! ”

Klock shouted, not knowing how much trouble he had caused Knock.

As soon as the pirate heard this, he immediately locked on Nock, whose hands were glowing,

"Shoot me these damned clerics!"

A childish cry of anger rang out from the pirate ship.

The pirate's arrows rained down on Nock's location......
