149 Raids
"Not bad. The mage nodded.
"This ......" The pirate's temper almost caused Morey to blurt out the words 'Are you crazy', but his sanity and sobriety made him swallow the words back, but his face was still red, and his mouth was slugging, as if a congested breath was blocking his voice.
The mage looked at him quietly, and after a while, Morey regained his breath and decided to discuss this somewhat ridiculous proposal with the mage in a tactful tone: "My lord, are you sure that you want to use your army to take the initiative to attack Nimkur?"
"Not bad. Penny frowned, "You seem to be suspicious, first mate. ”
"Yes. The first mate nodded: "You only have more than 200 people, and Nimkul will have 2,000 pirates there tonight to prepare for battle, to be honest, they will be ready to start the operation in the second half of the night, so that they can arrive here in the morning, which is also the time they agreed with the bandits." ”
"There are no more bandits. Penny shook his head.
"No bandits?" the mage's words stunned the first mate, and then saw that the other party had taken out three human heads from there, he was no stranger to magic bags, in fact, his captain owned a piece of loot from a certain big merchant, so it was not surprising where the mage took out these human heads.
What shocked him was the heads themselves.
He knew only one of the three heads, belonging to the titular leader of the Lionowl Bandits, and he remembered distinctly that it was this man who had negotiated a union with Captain Debinow, who was the pirate's messenger.
Then the owner of the two heads next to him didn't need to guess too much, and when he saw the unique Moulin-style turban and tattoo, the first mate fell silent.
He took a sip of the watered spirit.
"There are no more bandits. Penny repeated it in a bland tone, verifying the first mate's guess more unmistakably.
"No bandits, no bandits, what the hell is him. Morey touched the foreheads to confirm their authenticity, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, a feeling of helplessness made him lose his mind, it was clear that he had not thought about how to deal with such a situation, and he was shocked by the fact that the mage had spoken.
He knew very well the weight of the Mulans, and he was actually destroyed under the attack of the mage on the other side.
So how do you respond to his request?
"My request is simple, as long as you lead us to Nimkul. The mage didn't care about the swear words that blurted out by his deputy, he could understand the aphasia in which he was shocked, but said lightly, his tone revealing an attitude that could not be refused.
"Wait, I have to go back and inform the captain. The first mate replied in a cold sweat.
It was too big for him to take it on.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to leak my information. The mage smiled.
Morey's face suddenly changed color: "My lord, you don't believe us?"
"Of course not. The mage nodded, "I don't like to deceive, everything I say to you now is the truth, I can't fully trust a pirate." I prefer to believe that if I fall into the slump of the battle with those men, you will not hesitate to betray us, am I right?
Morey was suddenly in awkwardness.
This kind of tacit understanding of each other was punctured by the other party in a few words, and the naked words made him, a pirate, feel at a loss, but once the topic is spread out, many problems are not so difficult to solve.
"I just need you to lead the way, and when I get there, I'll attack immediately. The mage took a sip of water: "As for your captain, I don't think you will let me attack from the location of the 'Spear Squid', and at that time, you can go and inform him, I believe that the people he brought to Nimkul are his loyal men, and the choice is up to you." ”...,
Such words made Morey very uncomfortable.
Because in Penny's words, he didn't take Captain Dibinow's whole shipload of more than 300 warriors to heart, as if he could overthrow the vicious pirates on Pirate Island with his own strength.
You must know that even Serge's navy has to be cautious about this force, but in the mouth of this red-robed mage, it is like a nest of small insects that can be destroyed by blowing.
However, the three heads in front of him did not give him the courage to question the other party's tone.
If he can defeat 600 bandits who are a mixture of priests and elite Mullan soldiers, then of course they will be able to pose a threat to 2,000 pirates, not to mention that he and Captain Dibino have seen with their own eyes how the Bloodbeard Pirates were annihilated by the subordinates of the red-robed mage.
And...... He saw several soldiers surrounding the red-robed mage, and smiled bitterly and understood that the other party had no intention of discussing with him at all.
"Okay, my lord, where is your ship?" he decided to compromise.
Lives are the most important thing.
The mage smiled, he stepped out of the cabin, and beyond the side of the ship, a large ship was slowly launched under the impetus of a dozen gray dwarves and dozens of militiamen.
"Bloodbeard's ship?" Morey frowned.
Although the hull had become a little narrower, as if it had shrunk twice, and the holes that had been blasted by the fireballs were patched, he recognized them at a glance.
"It's my boat. Penny corrected.
"My lord, such a large ship, I am afraid that it will be spotted by patrol boats on the outskirts of Nimkul. Morey's eyebrows furrowed.
"It doesn't matter. The mage smiled, "They didn't have time to react at all. ”
"Too late to react?" Morey felt even more confused, too late to react, of course, it was also possible, that is, the speed of this ship was far faster than that of ordinary patrol speedboats.
Is this possible?
He looked at Penny and saw that the red-robed eyes had been staring at the bottom of the ship, a smile on his lips.
This made his eyes follow, and he realized that the bottom of this ship seemed to be a little special, there were more things than the bottom of ordinary galleons, and the mast of the cabin was also a little strange......
It doesn't seem to be a mast, because it's too short and too thick......
He was very skeptical that the ship would be able to keep the patrol speedboat 'in time', and of course he was suspicious of the mage's plan, but he knew better that at this point, he might not be able to think too much.
So after some of the guards had been closely guarded until the afternoon, he sat down on the ship, and watched in boredom as the mage assigns his tasks, except for anxious directions.
His subordinates are all skilled sailors, naturally all requisitioned by the mage, under the watchful eye of the guards, do not dare to play the slightest trick, but what surprised him is that in the cabin of the ship, the mage arranged some gray dwarves, mysterious and secretive, completely not allowing other sailors to approach, it seems to have some secrets.
He soon learned the source of this secret, for when the wind was against the wind, the mage would order the sails to be lowered, and the cabins would erupt with a loud roar, the stubby 'mast' would spew white mist, and the ship would move strangely at a faster pace.
Morey suddenly understood that there must be magical items hidden in those mysterious cabins, and he was not surprised when he thought of this.
But he was still a little weird, why did he hold up the sails when the wind was down, when he had that thing?
Of course, he didn't know that the steam engine that the mage had brought out of Luxendier's laboratory had only been hastily installed on the big ship, and the technology in many places was very sloppy, and if it had been running for a long time, Penny was very skeptical that the ship would fall apart.
However, he was still very satisfied with the speed of sailing, at least after entering the Nimkul warning circle, if it was launched at full speed, ordinary small patrol boats would definitely not be able to catch up. ...,
He can also use the Dark Enchantment to conceal the ship's tracks, making it more difficult to detect.
Under the cover of night, until the attack is launched, everything will be silent.
Before leaving, the mage announced the plan of action to the militia, and this time, most of the militia had no doubts, because the earlier victory had greatly boosted their morale, and the presence of the Titans convinced them that dealing with ten pirate ships would not be more difficult than dealing with a litter of bandits, because even the elite Mullan soldiers, lined up and protected by the Priests of Moulin, were still vulnerable to the Titan soldiers.
Probably the same is true of this group of pirates.
All the servicemen are confident.
While the danger is approaching, the pirates of Nimkul are having a grand dinner.
Before the big war, such a meal was needed to boost morale.
Drinking today is the motto of almost all pirates.
The mage sitting next to the sea wolf Lutans sneered and looked at the pirates who were eating and drinking in the mountains, and the triangular eyes like night owls continued to flow a sinister look.
He looked forward to the feast of blood and fireworks tomorrow morning more than the current feast.
What a wonderful picture it would be.
He looked up, and a few wisps of air entered his nose, as if he had unexpectedly smelled the fragrance.
"Your Excellency. Lutans, the sea wolf next to him, turned his head around, his expression respectful, as if he was in awe of the mage.
For most of the people of Feren, mages are something to be feared.
Even a low-to-mid caster located in the third and fourth rings of arcane law will be respected by many powerful people.
However, this sea thief who crossed the East Falling Star Sea had too much respect for this mage, and even bordered on flattery.
"Tomorrow's action, we have already arranged ......"
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on your actions. The mage's voice was hoarse in his throat, "And sincerely look forward to your victory." ”
"I hope so, but I want your lord to ......" The sea wolf stopped talking, to be honest, he had his own selfish motives for attacking such a town, and not just for wealth.
Speaking of which, most of the reason is still in the mage in front of him.
"Rest assured, once this matter is over, you can rest easy in this sea. The mage nodded, "Please believe in our power in Serial. ”
A satisfied smile appeared on the sea wolf's face, and he laughed with satisfaction, not paying attention to the mage's sarcastic sneer.
A bunch of self-righteous fools, the mage sneered to himself.
If you want these pirates to be obedient, you really only need a picture cake.
But then again, how can triad organizations compete with the government?
The smile on his lips widened.
Dibino looked at the other six captains, his mood becoming more and more irritable, he was a little tired of this false politeness, and stood up: "Sorry, I can't drink too much. ”
"Haha, get a good night's sleep, our vanguard wishes you a victorious tomorrow," the captains laughed.
Dibino's face twisted grimly, and he walked out of the cave without looking back.
"Go, find a few people keeping an eye on his boat. The sea wolf sneered and ordered a spy, who nodded and quickly walked out.
"Well, dear sea wolf, are you still afraid of this little cuttlefish?" laughed the captain named Bastimore, who squinted his eyes and seemed to have drunk a little too much, "Don't worry, he can't figure it out." ”
"It's always good to be on guard. The sea wolf smiled, his years at sea had made this man very cautious, and his caution soon paid off, and the spies he sent out quickly ran back in a cold sweat:
"The boss is not good"
"What's all the fuss?" the sea wolf coughed in his throat at this shout, and took a few breaths before he regained his breath, he angrily scolded the spies, and a sense of foreboding in his heart: "What's wrong with that kid?"
"No...... It's not a squid" The spy gasped loudly: "Yes, there is an enemy attack"
He shouted, and at that moment a loud noise was heard into the cavern, as if the whole island had been shaken, and the commotion outside suddenly turned into a series of increasingly piercing exclamations and screams.
The captains jumped out of their seats in shock...... ,
