Pearl overseas sea, Maud Chamber of Commerce merchant ships.

The sky was overcast, and there was some sea breeze at sea

With a gloomy face, Captain Hoel commanded his men to hoist the sails and do everything possible to speed up his merchant ship.

The whole deck was also in a hectic state, and the sailors showed a look of fear and fear on their faces, desperately preparing for all defenses.

The reason for all this is the pirate ship that follows closely behind the merchant ship, and the skull flag fluttering on the mast shows a strong malice.

"Hurry up, if you can't do it, throw the heaviest cargo off the ship!"

Hoel steered the rudder of the ship and nervously instructed his men.

At this moment, he couldn't care about how much he had lost.

God, he Hoel is just an ordinary captain of the Maud Chamber of Commerce, and this merchant ship is only responsible for the flow of goods on the coastal islands, why would there be pirates eyeing his ship?

Wouldn't it be good to have this kung fu to intercept those ships that are full of cargo on a long voyage?

Hoel was uncomfortable, because he was the only one on the ship with silver-class strength, and the other sailors were either bronze or just ordinary people.

It's impossible to defend yourself against a band of pirates!

If it had been before, maybe Hoel would have given up struggling.

Because of the existence of the Berdych Kingdom Navy, those pirates did not dare to be too presumptuous, and generally speaking, Hoel, an extremely ordinary merchant ship with little wealth, would be done with some gold coins on the pirates he encountered.

It hurts, but you don't lose your life or become a slave.

The pirates did not refuse to act sensibly, after all, if it was too rampant, it was likely to attract the pursuit of the navy.

In the Pearl Sea, the navy of the Berdych Kingdom is still the most powerful.

But now it's a different story!

The total shrinkage of the kingdom's naval power has made more and more pirates unable to resist their ambition and greed.

After discovering that the navy had indeed given up sailing, many pirates ignored even the conventional unspoken rules.

In any case, the prey that comes into their hands must be cramped and skinned, and the last drop of blood must be sucked dry.

Howel had heard a lot of similar things from elsewhere lately, and while that didn't mean all pirates were like that, Hoel didn't dare bet on it.

That's my own life!

The trailing pirate ship was getting closer and closer to them, only two hundred meters long, allowing Hoel to see even the pirate leader standing on the bow wielding a scimitar.

The guy was frantically shouting at the merchant ship where Hoel was:

"Damn the crumbs, dare you run?"

"Why don't you stop the great Lord Hut, or I'll throw you all into the sea and feed the sharks!"

Hoel naturally heard it very clearly, and he didn't dare to stop.

He had never heard of this pirate's name, suggesting that he was a new pirate force that had entered the Pearl Sea.

It's this kind of person who is the most ruthless and has no lower limit.

Hoel's face was a little pale, and the sailors on board were still making their last efforts, trying to make the boat under their feet run a little faster.

"Captain!"

The sailor, standing on the mast and observing the direction, shouted loudly at Hoel:

"There's another ship diagonally ahead!"

"What?"

Hoel was a little surprised, he had been keeping an eye on the pirate ship that was chasing after him, but he didn't expect another ship to appear in front of him.

It's better not to be an enemy!

Hoel hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction the sailor had said.

I saw a merchant ship about the size of them heading in their direction.

An eagle flag fluttered above the mast of the merchant ship, which was supposed to indicate the power to which the merchant ship belonged.

If only it wasn't another pirate ship!

Although the eagle banner did not belong to any of the big forces in Hoel's memory.

Hoel was also a more experienced captain, and he immediately recognized that this was a small and medium-sized merchant ship similar to them, and this kind of merchant ship basically did not have any powerful professionals.

Watching the merchant ship approach quickly, Hoel was a little puzzled.

"This ship seems to be too fast, right?"

I saw that in Hoel's field of vision, the merchant ship, which was only a small dot just now, instantly expanded several times.

That's a lot faster than the pirate ship in the back!

"Captain, the ship is coming towards us, what should we do?"

The sailors on the mast shouted loudly, and there was anxiety in his words.

"Flag Talk!"

"Tell them we need help!"

Hoel did not hesitate and immediately ordered.

In any case, with such a helper, if you concentrate your efforts, you may be able to fight against the pirate ships that are chasing after you.

I hope to get the opportunity to negotiate!

The sailors on the mast hurriedly waved the flags in their hands and conveyed messages to the approaching merchant ships in a common flag language.

Although doing so will also be noticed by the pirate ships in the rear, Hoel and the others have no other choice.

The sailors struggled to beat the flag several times in the sea breeze that was beginning to get stronger, but the merchant ship of the other side did not respond, but sailed faster and faster.

I saw that the blue sea with waves was cut by the swift merchant ship, and the white waves that were churning told the rapid progress.

Naturally, Hoel also noticed this, and was a little dumbfounded, and froze in place.

With this kind of indomitable momentum, do they want to directly hit the boat and die together?

On the eagle-flaged merchant ship,

Lees stood on the deck, staring at the two ships chasing back and forth in the distance.

It's been a month since they left Tanna Harbor, and although the time spent on the sea is boring, it's not bad with life adjustments.

That's a pirate hunt!

In the course of a month, Lees had sunk three pirate ships and made a considerable fortune.

As for the pirates, after confirming that they were all completely bad, Li Si threw them all into the sea to feed the sharks.

It was okay to take them back to the harbor as slaves and sell them, but Lees couldn't afford the gold coins anymore.

What's more, he can't fit so many people on his ship, so it's better to let them return to nature.

After Li Si completed the reinforcement and enhancement of the magic on the sea ship, he set off with Helen and the others.

Now the people on board were Lees, Helen, Bazel, Aivar and Charles, and Lees had hired more than a dozen sailors to do some chores on the ship.

And Ivar, as the mercenary with the most experience in navigation, was directly appointed as the first mate by Lis, and the basic affairs of the ship were handed over to him.

The daily task is to wander the Pearl Sea, looking for the pirate ships that are scurrying around.

When the sailors hired by Lees learned that they were going to hunt the pirate ship, many of them turned pale with fright and demanded to get off the ship.

However, after Li Si and the others destroyed the three pirate ships and distributed a lot of gold coins, it began to smell really fragrant again.

Now, the most positive people who see the pirate ship are the sailors.

For example, right now, I'm screaming and working hard to run into that pirate ship as soon as possible.

Of course, there's not much they can do.

After Li Si's magic enhancement of this merchant ship, the strength of the hull increased significantly, and thanks to the blessing of the water elemental magic, the speed of this sea ship was twice as fast.

Although it is not as good as the transcendent ships of the [Ghost Ship] and the [Sea King Ship], it is still much stronger than the sea ships made by ordinary craftsmen.

By the way, this sea ship that has been transformed by Li Simo is named [Eagle], and it is also the family emblem of the Kane family.

At this time, Aivar stood beside Leas, looking at the pirate ship in the distance.

"Lord Lisi, shall we still follow the previous method?"

Aivar asked in a deep voice, although he had already commanded several baptisms of naval battles, he still wanted to get Lis's confirmation.

Without him, it was really a bit too reckless for Li Si to formulate the combat policy.

"Well, the original plan remains the same, and that pirate ship looks average, and there is no value in working hard."

Lees took a closer look at the pirate ship through his probing magic, shook his head, and said.

Come to think of it, what good ships can be obtained by pirates of average strength are basically transformed from small and medium-sized merchant ships that have been stolen.

"Okay."

Aivar nodded, knowing the bottom of his mind.

Although he followed Li Si in order to land on that mysterious island, he did not expect to do the work of robbing pirates.

Pirates active in the Pearl Sea, strong enough, or wreckant enough, will be officially designated as a wanted warrant and a large reward will be offered for their heads.

There are many people in the Mercenary Guild who have received bounties, but they basically dealt with those pirates when completing other entrusted tasks, and brought them back to receive the reward.

It's really rare to get a sea ship like Li Si to hunt pirates.

However, Aivar also vaguely guessed that Lord Lees should also do this to enter the mysterious island as soon as possible.

Therefore, Aivar is also willing to take care of the affairs of the ship every day, and his work attitude is much more positive than when he was on the Mermaid.

Charles and Bazel, on the other hand, are much more idle.

Li Si didn't care about the two of them, they had become good drinking friends, and every day they just held a wine bottle and leaned on the deck, bragging while watching Helen exercise.

In addition, there were shots when I hunted pirates in the first few times.

I have to say that the strength of these people on Li Si's ship is quite good, and they can be regarded as strong in the silver level.

In particular, Charles, who has received support and cooperation, has finally shown his strength as a hunter.

Covered in tendons, he held a heavy steel bow, and each time he shot a long arrow, he could hear the sound of a pop as it crossed the air.

Charles was supposed to be an archer who specialized in heavy arrows, which was relatively rare among hunters.

However, such a Charles is a terrifying threat at medium and long range, and can greatly exert his expertise in naval battles.

In the first three engagements, under the control of Aivar and Bazel, he had already killed four Silver Professionals while standing on the Eagle.

Li Si didn't even do anything, and things were arranged quite properly by these people.

However, Li Si doesn't care, the stronger these three people, the better.

Anyway, it is the team that Li Si is going to leave to Helen, and it is the foundation for her to become a "sea general" in the future.

Speaking of Helen, during this month's voyage to the sea, she has successfully cultivated the forging method taught to her by Liss and promoted to the bronze warrior.

Although her current strength is still quite weak, she is already like her in the past.

In Lis's opinion, the biggest change in Helen is that she is much more confident, and she has a lot more smiles on her face every day.

At the same time, it was only after becoming a transcendent professional that Helen's talent really began to show.

The speed of learning elementary martial arts is quite amazing, and at the same time, the comprehension of various warrior techniques is also very strong, which once made Bazel, who thought he was a genius, a little autistic.

In Li Si's opinion, this is a matter of course, after all, Helen is a strong person who can reach the peak of gold in the future, and has touched the realm of legends.

Although until the time of Li Si's rebirth, she did not succeed in breaking through the legend.

Of course, Helen is only a future ahead.

Now Helen was clutching the long sword that Lees had given her, wearing the armor that Lees had made for her, and was looking at the pirate ship in the distance with some nervousness.

In the previous engagement, Lees did not let Helen participate in the battle for her safety.

Helen also asked Lees many times before she got the opportunity to participate in the battle.

Although Helen has become a professional warrior, she is only twelve or thirteen years old, and her real combat power is stronger than that of ordinary adults.

Lees followed Helen this time, preparing to let Helen experience in this battle.

Helen needs a chance to see the blood, after all, for her, although the previous experience was quite bumpy, but after she met Li Si, the process of embarking on the road to transcendence was quite smooth.

Helen is not like Li Si, who has the memories inherited from her previous life, and her combat thinking and fighting mentality are quite mature.

She still needs to exercise bit by bit, to accumulate from scratch.

Li Si didn't want to raise Helen as a vase, and she needed to go through the wind and rain she faced.

Anyway, with Lees and Bazel here, Helen's safety still doesn't have to worry.

Everyone on board the Eagle is ready for a new battle.

Because of the influence of magic, the speed of the [Eagle] far exceeded those two ships, so Li Si steered the [Eagle] to avoid the merchant ship in front and slammed into the pirate ship behind.

"What ?!!"

Standing on the merchant ship of the Maude Chamber of Commerce, Hoel watched in shock as the Eagle grazed past their ship, and crashed into the pirate ship behind them without slowing down.

The people on the pirate ship behind were even more frightened, shouting at the [Eagle], desperately turning to avoid the ship that suddenly rushed out.

But there was no hurry to dodge, just when the pirate ship turned,

The Eagle did not lose its speed at all, and it slammed directly into the hull of the pirate ship.

Boom!!!

A loud sound echoed through the sea, and the bow of the Eagle slammed into the pirate ship's hull.

The imaginary scenario of the destruction of both ships did not materialize.

The pirate ship was almost broken by the Eagle's waist, and the bow of the Eagle shimmered with jet-black magical light, and there was no damage.
