Chapter 55 Hunter and Prey
On the surface of the sea, dozens of pirate ships lined up, densely packed cannons burst into bright fireworks in the dark night, and there were many pirate ships cruising on the sea in the distance.
Gulu, a figure emerged from the water and boarded the largest pirate ship, the Outlaw without any hindrance.
"Lord Madman, Lord Viper let me inform you that the landing can be carried out, and the shore defense fort on Black Market Island has been taken down."
"Really? Viper's speed is quite fast. If this is the case, let's start. Although the navy is held back by the boss, it's not good after a long time."
As he spoke, a bald man over two meters tall and covered in chains stood up from his seat.
Seeing the back of the bald man leaving, a look of awe flashed in the eyes of the man who came to report the news. This is the second in command of the Evil Ghost Pirates, a vicious pirate known as a madman.
Off the coast of Memphitus, a thick fog filled the sea, in which the shadow of the sail could be seen faintly.
"Damn it, where is it?"
"I saw it, northwest, 45° angle, 100 meters, fire, fire."
A high-pitched call came out. Although the target could not be seen, the quality of the professional navy allowed them to quickly complete the artillery aiming.
Bang bang bang, the artillery fired continuously, forming a passionate war song, but unfortunately the effect was not obvious, and there was no other gain except for arousing huge water splashes.
The second branch of the Storm Fleet, the only fully-organized navy in the Kingdom of Sutilt in the New World, has a second-tier battleship, two third-tier battleships, and three fourth-tier battleships, but it is such a powerful navy. At this moment, however, the fleet was blocked by a strange thick fog and a mysterious sea monster, making it difficult to move forward.
"Knight's Sword", a second-class battleship, the flagship of the Storm Fleet Squadron.
"My lord, what should I do now?"
On the deck, Fleet Commander Burns' expression was a little heavy. Although the fleet hadn't suffered any major losses, it was difficult to accomplish the purpose of this trip.
Hearing his words, Asim Bansain, who was wearing a military uniform and should have stayed in Memphitos but appeared here for some reason, withdrew his gaze from afar.
"What else can we do? We have already lost this time. I underestimated Ghost Hand. I never thought that his contracted sea monster, the Minotaur Ghost Python, would be promoted to the fourth rank and also have a war wonder."
"Send the order, the fleet shrinks its formation, guard against the sneak attack of the bull-headed ghost python, and wait for the thick fog to disperse."
After finishing speaking, Asim Bansain stopped talking, his face was sullen, and he exuded a palpitating chill. He didn't expect that this old hunter would become someone else's prey today.
In the original plan, he first ordered a pirate group under his control to attack the large caravan, and then used this as an excuse to mobilize the Storm Fleet, creating the illusion that the Memphitos navy was empty, and then used the black market to sell it. Barbarossa's treasure map is used as bait to lure the evil ghost pirates into the bait.
This plan went smoothly in the early stage, but the result was completely different. According to the plan, he would lead the fleet to clean up the evil ghost pirates, remove a cancerous tumor for the kingdom, and take advantage of the opportunity to harvest the remnants of Barbarossa's treasure in the hands of ghosts, but in fact On the contrary, he is like a clown, played by ghosts in the palm of his hand.
Thinking of this, even with Asim Bansain's self-cultivation, he couldn't help but get angry, but he was more tolerant than the black market dealer Flogan.
"Is there a ghost inside?"
Looking at the thick fog in the distance, Asim Bansain's shattered golden pupils flashed a cold brilliance. Although the plan this time is not perfect, it is not so easy to be targeted. Now the ghost hand can advance Prepare the means, just block yourself here, there is a high possibility that you have received the news in advance.
On the edge of the fog, a pirate ship with black sails is cruising here,
This is the ghost cry of the ship Guishou, the captain of the Evil Ghost Pirates.
On the deck, the movement of the Storm Fleet was detected through the Minotaur Ghost Python. Wearing a horned hat, half of his face was burned by the fire, the Ghost Hand, which looked like a ghost, showed a mocking smile.
On the black market island, Sean and his group walked on the island at a leisurely pace, ignoring the surrounding chaos as nothing, neither pirates nor those involved in the black market auction approached them, because those who did so were already dead.
His knowledge was wide open, as if he had discovered something interesting, Sean changed his direction and moved forward.
Seeing this scene, Sir Link followed directly without saying anything. In the era when the legends of Tier 5 were not available, Tier 4 was the top level of Extraordinary, with white beards. Even if Black Market Island was captured by pirates, they wanted to leave It's not difficult, because although the third level is only one step away from the fourth level, the transcendents are already inhuman to some extent when they reach the fourth level, and the number of people has basically lost their meaning to them.
"Are you ready? I'm going to go, I don't know who will die this time?"
Strange, high-pitched voices came from all directions. The big businessman Grove's face was pale and he was breaking out in cold sweat. Even under the heavy protection of his subordinates, he didn't feel the slightest sense of security.
The darkness struck, and the light seemed to be distorted at this moment. When he came back to his senses, Gruff felt his neck seemed to be licked by something, making it wet.
He stretched out his hand and touched it. It was sticky, not sweat, but more like body fluids secreted by some kind of creature, and beside him, a first-order transcendent who was protecting him fell to the ground at some point, his face turning purple. Dead without a sound.
"My lord, what exactly do you want, is it a cub of an orca shark or something else, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy you."
Knowing that there was no way to guarantee his own safety, Grove accurately grasped a glimmer of life from the other party's teasing him.
"Hiss, it seems that you are still a sensible person."
The strange voice sounded again, and a figure with pale skin, abnormally white, hunched body, as if without bones appeared not far from Gruff.
"Poisonous snake, you are the poisonous snake of the Evil Ghost Pirates."
Seeing this strange figure, someone in Gruff's team recognized its identity.
"Grandff, let's talk about your matter later."
As he spoke, his neck was twisted, and the third-in-command Viper of the Evil Ghost Pirates used his dark yellow vertical pupils to tightly grasp the dark area not far away.
"It seems that we have been discovered."
Without deliberately hiding, Sean and his party walked out of the shadows.
"Hey, who are you? Are you also interested in sea monster cubs?"
Without acting immediately, the poisonous snake smelled a dangerous aura from Xiao En and his party. The other party is not a trash fish like Grove, so he can let him play with it.
Without answering the poisonous snake's words, Xiao En looked the poisonous snake up and down, and Xiao En showed a trace of undisguised disgust on his face.
Seeing Xiao En like this, the poisonous snake's eyes gradually turned cold. After becoming a third-level snake spirit guard, he also lost some important things while gaining great power. He looks like a human being, and what he usually taboos the most is when people talk about his appearance.
"You look really ugly like this. You don't look like a human or a ghost, especially those eyes."
"Hiss, now I'm not interested in your identity, because the identity of a dead person is meaningless."
A cold feeling permeated the air, full of murderous intent.
