Chapter 233: Half-Orc Pirates
Seriously, being a pirate is also a special taste, and being a male and female thief with Brother Da, dominating the sea, and being a pirate king is also beautiful.
Rackfort and Hagen glanced at each other, Hagen hurriedly patted his chest, he had more contact with Lao Wang in the past two days, and his human lingua franca actually improved greatly: "Big brother likes it, let's fight!"
"Isn't it just a few soul crystal cannonballs!" Rackford said with a smile: "After a while, when the meal is finished, we will play with the eldest brother, there are no pirates and pirates, it is not a problem, let's throw a few bloodletting creatures and drag them in the stern, there are many sharks in this sea area, and it can easily attract a large group, and when the time comes, big brother, you will blow up a bunch of sharks in it, and it will be more than addictive!"
Lao Wang was overjoyed when he heard this, "Then let's eat it quickly, no one is allowed to rob it, I'll shoot the first shot!" While saying this, he deliberately looked at Kalida, looking at Kalida's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Wang Feng was happy, he didn't care at all about teasing Brother Da, he was tense all day long, he must be thinking about those bad things about roses, life in the world, the most important thing is to be happy.
In ancient times, there were princes of the beacon fire opera, and let's also have a cannon to tease Brother Da today.
......
The night was dark, there was no moon or wind in the sky, and the vast sea level was pitch black, and it was outrageously quiet.
Six warships and five cargo ships had slowed down and gone into night sailing mode, each with a soul crystal lamp flashing red on the top of the mast, providing some visibility to nearby ships and to keep the ships apart.
On the leading Tiger General warship Starfish, a huge searchlight sent a white beam of high beam to the sea ten miles away, surrounding the entire fleet, sweeping back and forth on the dark sea.
And on the high mast, the lookout in charge of the guard stared boredly in all directions by the light of the searchlight.
The night guard of the sea ship is a very boring and boring job, the lookout yawned, feeling a little sleepy, he squinted, just wanted to be lazy, but at this moment, a string of red lights appeared on the sea level far away.
The lookout lifted his spirits a little, the red signal lights were very eye-catching on the sea at night, and the limit of his vision was about twenty miles.
It was not uncommon to encounter other fleets on the sea, but there was no need to make a fuss, he stopped the rotation of the searchlight next to him, and shone it in that direction, and manually fiddled with the searchlight, drawing circles in the air in which direction.
This is a warning signal.
Sailing in the dark of night, there is no way to tell if the opponent is hostile, nor can you tell whether the opponent is a merchant ship or a pirate, the best way is not to let the opponent approach, the circle drawn by the searchlight in the air is a warning to the opponent not to approach, otherwise they will fire.
The other party also seems to be a merchant fleet, and at this time the same searchlight signal is played, drawing circles in the air.
This is a common occurrence during night flights, where the signal is usually followed by both sides moving at a parallel and constant speed at a distance from each other, or even actively closing a certain distance.
The lookout's heart was slightly relieved, but then he realized that something was wrong, he found that the other party had no intention of closing the distance, and the signal light was actually rapidly approaching his fleet.
Pirates?
The lookout's heart tightened, and the spirit that was drowsy just now instantly rose to ten points, and he quickly picked up the conch beside him and blew it.
Woo~~Woo~~
The warning sound of the conch sounded slowly.
"There is an enemy attack?" 400
With the inquiries of many crew members, there was a sudden commotion on the deck, and the searchlight in the hands of the lookout became more urgent, and it circled wildly in the air.
As if sensing that it had not been able to fool the past, the searchlight on the opposite side suddenly stopped rotating, and the red signal lights on the ship were all extinguished in an instant, and the horizon instantly fell into complete darkness, and the target disappeared directly in the direction.
"It's a pirate!
Extinguishing the signal lights, which was obviously an offensive intention, the lookout's eyes widened, and the dull and high-pitched conch warning sound immediately blew and quickly spread throughout the fleet, and the sound and panic began to spread rapidly in the fleet, accompanied by a burst of 'Bang Bang Bang' banging on the railing and the shouts of 'enemy attack', everyone was woken up.
The old king was also awakened by the noise on the deck, and got up in a daze to look on the deck, only to see that the ship was brightly lit, and that Karida had already gotten up and was looking into the distance from the railing.
On the deck below, many sailors and crew members ran out in rags, and Rackford and others were also hurrying to the ship's board below in their pajamas, and the lookout on the top of the mast was shouting incessantly.
"Enemy ships were spotted at three o'clock, about twenty miles away!"
"The speed is unknown, the number is unknown, the other party turns off the signal light!"
"It's definitely a pirate!"
There was the sound of panicked crew on deck.
"Is it really a pirate?, why haven't you seen anything?" said the old king, who was sleeping in a daze, and had not yet woken up, and shouted at Rackford.
Lacford obviously has a lot of sailing experience, and he has just blown a wave of starfish with Lao Wang during the day, and when he hears Lao Wang's inquiry, it is a rare time to show his strong strength.
"Big brother, don't worry, I'm here!" he shook his spirits, this is a public route, it must be a little pirate who doesn't get lost for a long time, and commanded loudly in an orderly manner: "The fleet slows down, the shell ships disperse, keep the alert formation, turn on all the searchlights for me, zoom in on the searchlight bomb in the northeast direction, and the cargo ship will stay behind!"
The starfish and several shell ships on the left and right sides, the searchlights burst out with a strong light, shining on the dark northeast sea, and several shining searchlight bombs shot out in that direction, exploding in the air far away, and the starry light was like fireworks, instantly lighting up a large field of vision in that direction.
With the help of the firelight in the air, a huge black shadow of a sailing ship could be faintly seen rapidly approaching in this direction, and the speed was very fast, and the distance was already close to about fourteen or fifteen miles.
Lao Wang narrowed his eyes, and with the help of the close-range illumination when the air flare fell, he could faintly see next to the huge black shadow, and about six or seven smaller shell boat guards, which were illuminated by the searchlight at this time, and he could barely see the shell boat quickly disperse, spread out in a fan shape, increase the speed, and quickly disappear out of the field of vision of the searchlight bomb.
"A tiger warship, six to eight shell ships......" The lookout was constantly reporting the situation, but when he used the firelight when the searchlight bomb fell, he faintly saw the beast head symbol and flag on the bow of the ship with the lookout glass, and there was a faint horror in his voice: "It's a half-orc pirate group!"
Luckford, who was full of indifference on the deck, heard this, and his heart sank instantly, and blurted out, "This is impossible, how can a half-orc enter the public route???"
At sea, the strength of pirates depends on the bounty, and those who don't have a bounty are thieves who don't enter the stream, and those who can have a bounty of millions of euros are more powerful, but the bounty of the half-orc pirate group is tens of millions!
Lao Wang didn't know much about this, but he saw that there was obviously some panic on the deck and on the sea, and there was buzzing noise everywhere.
This fleet is Hagen's, but the composition of the personnel is relatively mixed, Lacford is not only his collaborator, but also the commander-in-chief of the security guard, led by him, including Shark Da, Tyroun, several tiger-level masters, more than a dozen wolf peak warriors, is the core of the armed forces of this fleet.
In addition, there were a dozen bodyguards from Hagen and the Chamber of Commerce itself, as well as one hundred and fifty mercenaries and five shell ships hired by the Mercenary Regiment of the Crody Islands, which made up the entire escort team, in addition to the various sailors, sailors, and miscellaneous servants.
There are quite a few people, equipped with the Seastar, which is full of firepower, and the five shell ships that are close to full capacity, the strength on paper is indeed very strong, but after all, it is not an overall force twisted into a rope, and the people's hearts and fighting qualities are uneven.
