Chapter 67: Siren Thrust

As the whistle sounded, there was a brief panic in the restaurant, and the passengers stopped their knives and forks and looked around, their faces full of bewilderment.

It is normal for them not to think of piracy at the first time, unlike the pursuit of fast and cheap cargo routes, passenger ships usually choose safe sea areas that have been cleared by the Navy and the Church of the Storm, as long as they do not deviate from the course, they will rarely encounter pirate raids that are not open-minded.

Unfortunately, the "City Breaker" seemed to have another purpose, it sailed against the wind, sideways, and cut the direction of the Blue Mountain Rose at a very high speed, and at the current speed, it could stop in front of the passenger ship in half an hour at most.

On the other hand, the Blue Mountain Rose is driving in a completely upwind direction, and as a new steamship, it can only run less than three-quarters of the speed of 16 knots, and the steering will go deep into the area of unknown sea conditions, which is a dilemma at the moment.

The choice of the "city breaker" to appear at this time must have been after the most meticulous calculation and careful consideration.

- The above analysis is from Lady Elaine, who is proficient in seafaring, and Angel knows nothing about it.

As the whistle subsided, a burly man with several gunmen arrived at the restaurant, claiming to be the second mate of the ship, announcing the arrival of the pirates, and asking everyone to return to their cabins, lock the door, and wait quietly.

He didn't offer to let armed passengers join the ranks of sailors to resist, and no passengers took the initiative to do so, since Nast, the king of the five seas, established the "rules of the trade", most pirates only robbed money, not hurt people, hiding in the cabin will only rob most of the valuable goods, leaving a life, and dying in resistance is a vain death.

Angel and Elaine followed the crowd back to the cabin without saying a word, to the suite, and locked the door to the living room.

Looking at the "City Breaker", who was nearly twice as big as just now, Angel glanced at Elaine, who was a little pale beside her, and asked:

"Do you think they grabbed a passing passenger liner, or did they come to you with a clear goal?"

"I don't know, before, I didn't get far away before I was arrested."

The latter shook his head, his tone a little uncertain.

"In the worst-case scenario, how far is the range of their naval guns? Will the cannon be fired at the longest distance? ”

Angel narrowed his eyes and stared at the breaker, and found that its side guns had all been opened, and one cast iron cannon had been pushed out, and there were 40 on one side, worthy of the battleship under the command of the pirate general.

"Worst-case scenario...... Didn't they capture me? How could they have sunk the ship with artillery shelling? ”

Elaine asked rhetorically, stammering.

"The worst-case scenario is, of course, that your rival will take advantage of this 'failed raid' and send you and the entire ship to the bottom of the sea," Angel chuckled and teased, "Isn't there a 'Sick Admiral' who has suitors within her ranks?" ”

'Rival?' The Breaker's captain is the lucky William, who doesn't like the captain...... No, it's not, there's no rival in love! ”

After subconsciously retorting, Elaine reacted, and her face turned red again.

"Hmph, don't you know exactly who Tracy's captains are? I didn't want to say it before, because I was afraid that I would be bad for her? Angel snorted coldly and looked Elaine up and down, "By the way, do you have what Tracy gave you?" There's a good chance she'll be able to track your location. ”

"I'm a 'hunter', how can I not take anti-tracking measures, I didn't bring all the jewelry, and I threw that red dress out of the cabin last night."

The red-haired lady retorted.

"But they've tracked you down...... There may be other methods, such as divination. But it wasn't Tracy who came, maybe it was just a coincidence...... You say, "If I hang you out of the porthole, so that their lookouts can see it, will they not dare to come near?" ”

"They're only going to be more excited to take the ship, the captain who captured me last time was rewarded with a thousand pounds by Tracy, and William has Sequence 7, he won't let go of this opportunity."

Elaine also had a bitter face, squeezed to the window to look at the "city breaker" who was getting closer and closer, and after a while, gritted her teeth as if she had made up her mind.

"Ask the captain for a boat, let me stay where I am, and then you go quickly, William will catch me and be busy with Tracy, and will not chase the boat anymore." Otherwise, when the Black Death and other ships surround me, even if I hand it over, the Blue Mountain Rose will not be spared." ”

That's a good idea...... Just like using the "Iceberg Lieutenant General" behind Daniz to scare off the Red Skull Pirates, throwing Elaine in place may be able to stop the City Breaker, which is also a form of "war doll...... If it was me two weeks ago, I would have chosen this way, but now......

Angel chuckled and pushed the porthole open, letting the sea breeze that swept quickly against the wind pour into the living room, making Elaine's long dress hunt.

"Oh, it's good that I lent you my skirt, and I'm wearing this set of clothes and pants that are easy to move around, otherwise I'll have to change my clothes before I move," said Angel, pulling the rose necklace out of her shirt, causing the ruby to glow a faint blue light, switching to the soul of the "Wind Favorer", "Wait here, if I don't come back in half an hour, you can go to the captain yourself and do what you just said." ”

As she spoke, she launched the "Ocean Affinity", and the skin on her face, hands and feet grew beautiful phantom scales, and the gills of the fish also appeared on her cheeks, making her speak with a little urn voice.

"You...... You're not going to take the initiative to attack the 'City Breakers', are you? ”

Looking at the changes in Angel's body, how could Elaine not understand what was going to happen next?

"It's not an offense, it's just ...... It's just a withdrawal, by the way, that lucky William, how many pounds is the bounty? ”

Taking off the Ring of Madness, revealing the face of "Angelica" worth 6,000 pounds, Angel asked in a flat tone, as if asking what to eat for dinner today.

"He himself boasted of £2,800, but I haven't seen a wanted ......"

Elaine replied subconsciously, and then, looking at Angel, who was beautiful and enchanting in front of her, somewhat like the legendary kraken, disappeared without a trace.

A moment later, there was a "plop" in the sea below the porthole.

————

After jumping into the sea, Angel quickly grasped the direction with the help of "Ocean Affinity", and swam towards the location of the "City Breaker" with both hands and feet.

This was the second time she had swum in the form of a "Siren" with phantom scales, the last time in the vicinity of the White Onyx in Bansey Harbor, and she had not been able to test this ability for a long time due to her physical and spiritual exhaustion, but she was full of energy and slashed across the sea like an arrow. The icy current seemed to be separated by an invisible force, allowing her to move forward almost without resistance, far faster than the ship, more than three times that of the Blue Mountain Rose at full speed.

In terms of speed, it has a speed of about 50 knots, which is literally underwater flight...... Angel looked at the deep ocean below, feeling the icy water pass by, the Blue Mountain Rose behind her quickly moving away, and the pitch-black city breaker in front of her got bigger and bigger.

In less than five minutes, Angel swam to the vicinity of the pirate ship, and in order to avoid being spotted by the pirates on the deck, she continued to swim deeper, then circled the bottom of the ship, and then sailed in the same direction as the city breaker, and then gradually returned to the water, jumped up with the speed of the upstroke, and pressed the dagger made of the knight's bracelet into the wooden bulkhead, and fixed herself to it.

With the noisy conversations of pirates coming from the deck overhead, and the shouts that grew louder as the target approached, no one seemed to notice that the ship had an intruder.

Angel looked left and right, found the nearest porthole, used the dagger to deftly climb nearby, reached out to open the window, and got in.

Behind the window was a small room, with six hammocks hanging from each other, wooden barrels and crates on the floor as tables and chairs, and a few short candles that had long since been extinguished.

"Nobody...... They should all be on deck and ready to take on the side of the ship. ”

She pondered, lifted the scales from her body, restored her human appearance, and gently pushed open the door to look out into the hallway.

It's also empty.

Even if most of the people are on deck, a fully staffed ship should have a lot of reserves...... Unless they set sail in a hurry, and they don't even have enough sailors. This is not a low possibility, perhaps the "Sick Admiral" learned of Elaine's whereabouts from some channel and notified the nearest ship to come to intercept it, so it seems hasty.

Angel pushed open the doors of several rooms, and when he found them empty, he simply used the "disease" ability to quickly spread invisible germs to all cabins, as well as the decks above.

"It's a pirate ship anyway, so you don't have to worry about hurting innocent ......"

With the "Good Luck" revolver in one hand and the other empty, she was ready to summon the knight's bracelet and slowly walked towards the stairs leading to the top.

Layer by layer, it was not until the deck below deck was open on both sides and filled with cast-iron cannons that Angel saw the pirates on the ship.

Some of them were lying in the aisle, some were kneeling on the ground panting with shells in their arms, and some were lying on their stomachs with their heads facing outward, trying to breathe a few breaths of fresh air.

But without exception, these pirates were all seriously ill, their limbs were weak, their eyes were straight, and they were on the verge of falling into a coma.

This is also the reason why Angel controlled the intensity of the "disease", otherwise in the two minutes she walked up from below, these ordinary pirates in the cabin, who were not extraordinary, had already stopped beating their hearts and died under the epidemic, like ...... Those poor people in the Great Smog.

Looking at the eyes staring at her, showing panic, fear or hatred, Angel felt a mixed emotion in her heart.

This was the first time she had used "disease" to mass-kill the enemy, and this somewhat miserable scene had already made her feel uncomfortable, and she couldn't imagine what kind of psychology the "Desperate Lady" Panatia had to use to unleash a large-scale poisonous fog that could kill more than 100,000 people without any scruples.

However, this method really helped the play, and I could already feel the potion in my body digesting quickly...... She pursed her lips, leaving the terrible thought behind, stepped on the wooden staircase, pushed open the partition, and came to the deck.

Due to the baffle separating them, the "disease" below did not reach the deck at the first time, and the pirates who were shouting and huddled on the side of the ship, looking at the Blue Mountain Rose not far away, only had some nasal congestion and fever, and did not realize immediately that they were infected with the disease and were about to fall.

Only "Lucky William", who was standing on the bridge and looking at the target with a telescope, turned his head as if he had a slight understanding, and his somewhat cloudy eyes met Angel's gaze.

In the next second, his face changed drastically, he threw away the binoculars, and shouted:

"Invasion!"

The shrill shouts dispelled some of the jubilant atmosphere on the deck, and dozens of pirates first looked at their captain, then followed his gaze to Angel, looking at the beautiful woman who suddenly appeared on the deck, and fell into a stupor for a moment.
