Chapter 25 The storm is coming
The sky cleared for a day.△
The next day, there were dark clouds again, and it seemed that it was about to rain again.
Sauron stood on the mast of the Deadly Speaker, staring at the sea that was rippling in front of him. On the side of the ghost ship was a huge black shadow. At this moment, it was rising and falling in the waves, and only a phantom could be seen. He looked ahead silently, as if waiting for something. Sauron has always been a patient person, so he waited very calmly, but his eyes occasionally looked up at the sky.
Rumble!
A thunder streaked across the sky.
Accompanied by the rumbling thunder, drops of rain fell. At first it was just a light rain, but soon turned into a rainstorm.
"Deep sea snorkel!"
A smile appeared at the corner of Soren's mouth, but it was very cold and cruel. He waved his hand gently, and the undrunk on the deck moved quickly. Amid the strange whispers of the ghost sirens, the Dead Speecher began to descend, and the entire ship gradually sank to the bottom of the sea. The surrounding sea water surged towards the deck, and Soren gently jumped to the position of the rudder, and then let the sea water surged from all sides completely submerge himself. The sea water poured into the hull, and Soren's hair scattered with the sea water. When the Dead Speecher finally sank to the bottom of the sea, he looked up at the sky. The wind and waves on the sea surface became even bigger, and an amazing lightning flash passed through the sky.
Rumble!
Storms and storms enveloped this sea area, and thunders streaked across the sky, as if the storms had just stopped for a while, and they were just beginning now.
The sea is surging, but the seabed is quite calm.
The dark deep sea could not hinder Sauron's sight. The Dead Speech snorted hundreds of meters below the sea. He was calculating the enemy's location and had already collected a large amount of intelligence before setting off.
With his current reputation as a pirate king on the South Coast, the thief union would rather offend the southern island nation than offend him.
“Rise 300 meters!”
Soren looked around. A reef appeared in front of him, and some fish in the sea. However, due to the energy of death, he was almost unwilling to approach the near the Death Speaker. The mutant killer whales were escorting around. Although the north coast was not as dangerous as the south coast, there were also some deep-sea monsters, and these deep-sea monsters seemed to ignore the blessings of the Ocean Goddess. This was impossible. There were other people and gods in this world that involved the marine realm. For example, the gods believed in by the Vikur people were involved in the marine realm from the pirate realm.
The Vikurs believed in a barbarian god.
It should also be the only god who is the "pirate clergyman", but one of his priests is the "pirate god of Viku". Basically, few other pirates believe in him.
This clergy was born because the Vicu people were born pirates and lived by looting other merchant ships.
“Rise 100 meters!”
Sauron looked at the surrounding environment and observed the movements on the sea surface. After about the height that he could vaguely see the sea surface, a cold light appeared in his eyes and ordered in a deep voice: "Summon the fog!"
"The undead undead sank their warships!"
In the dark sea water.
A group of ferocious undead spirits appeared. They slowly streamed upstream with the tools of chiseling boats and gradually approached the sea.
……………………
Rumble!
A thunder streaked across the sky, and the wind and waves made the hull shake.
"Damn it!"
A middle-aged man in naval costume cursed, then grabbed a corner of the hull and shouted: "Everything is done! When I return to the port, I will invite you to drink!..."
"This damn weather."
"I said that the storm didn't end so soon. In this kind of weather, there was no need to send us out to patrol."
A wave hit.
The warship's hull shook for a moment, and the sea water rushed to the deck. A naval sailor was unsteadily and hit the wooden barrel, but the injury was not serious, and he just frowned and trembled with pain.
"Where is the Nanhai?"
The middle-aged man looked around and there was a fog around him at some point. He couldn't help but curse again: "This ghost weather! You can dance even when it's a storm!"
"Come."
"Light up the torch and don't get separated from the escort fleet."
Very weird weather.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for fog to appear in such a storm. So it is also considered that the middle-aged officer who has been wandering on the sea for many years has found it intuition that it is not very good and shouted: "Are you all alert! This fog is weird! Maybe we will encounter any sea monsters!"
"Ah!!!" As soon as he finished speaking, a naval sailor screamed in fear.
Hearing his voice, the others were immediately scared and the middle-aged officer shouted: "What is the ghost called? What have you seen?"
boom!
The hull suddenly shook, and many people on the deck fell down if they were unstable. Another sailor almost fell from the boat to the sea. Fortunately, he was entangled with a cable.
"Black...black shadow!..."
The sailor who shouted at the beginning said with fear: "What a big black shadow!... bigger than a ship!...... under the water!... I didn't see clearly what it was!... But there is something under the sea!..."
The middle-aged officer felt a thrill in his heart, and his expression became a little scared, and murmured: "You won't be lucky to have such a back heart, did you really encounter a sea monster?"
Rumble!
The hull shook again.
Now everyone saw that there was indeed a huge black shadow wandering in the fog, and the hull was shaking because it hit it.
"No!...Not good!..."
Another scream rang out, and a naval sailor soaked all over ran out and shouted: "Cast!... Water is coming from the cabin!..."
Rumble!
The hull shook again, and a sailor was directly thrown into the sea with a scream. He had no time to let out a shrill wail and disappeared directly into the rolling waves.
Buzz!
Rumble!
The storm seemed to have become even bigger, and the warship was still shaking in the waves, making it look like a small boat that could turn over and sink at any time.
Click!
The sound of a keel breaking came from the hull, and then I saw the warship shaking violently, and finally flipped directly in a huge wave, sinking into the sea bottom bit by bit.
On the sea.
Extremely sharp bone spurs emerged, and huge black shadows wandered in the sea. You could vaguely see the blurred shadow of a dark warship in the sea.
"Help!……"
"Help!……"
"Who will save me!"
The sunken warship did not kill these naval sailors immediately. In fact, many of them were low-level professions. The tenacious vitality allowed them to swim up after sinking into the sea. However, at this time, black cables flew out from the sea water. The black hull under the sea became clearer and clearer. The cables entangled the sailors who fell into the sea and dragged them towards the deeper sea area. Vaguely, some human-shaped monsters with seaweed-like bodies appeared nearby. They pounced over with ferocious smiles, ruthlessly slaughtering the fish that escaped the net.
……………………
Keel bone island.
This is an island occupied by the Viku pirates. It is said that a giant dragon was buried here, so it is called the Dragon Bone Island.
The island is not very large, probably not as big as the Viper Island, but there is a semi-natural port, which blocks the whistling sea breeze because of a steep mountain wall. A lighthouse is built on this island, and basically any port city will have an iconic lighthouse, which can guide navigation ships. Even lighthouses in some places can guide ships to avoid reefs, greatly improving the safety of fleets' night navigation.
"Why haven't they come back yet?"
Above the lighthouse, a young man dressed in a standard noble frowned and stared at the distance, saying in a deep voice: "Based on time, they should have come back long ago."
Rumble.
A flash of lightning streaked across the sky.
Lightning illuminated the sea in the distance, and you can see the waves on the sea becoming bigger and bigger.
"Your Highness the Prince."
Behind the young man was an old man with a white beard, wearing an exquisite robe, and said in a deep voice: "I haven't come back in this situation, I'm afraid they are in some trouble!"
Prince Hans' expression suddenly became ugly when he heard this, and said with a blue face: "A standard patrol fleet, a large warship, and three escort warships. Even if he encounters trouble, how could none of them come back? Could it be that Arendell's fleet attacked them?"
"wrong!"
"We only joined forces with the Viku Pirates to severely damage Allendal's navy last time. I'm afraid they don't even have the ability to go to sea now."
This was his extremely proud battle.
First, they made the pirates of Vicu attract the attention of Arundell's navy, thinking that they were just pirates coming out to rob, and then mobilized the fleet to deal with these Vicu pirates. But what they did not expect was that near Keelou Island they also encountered the main navy of the southern island country, which was the fleet led by Prince Hans.
There is no need to say much about the result of the battle. Faced with nearly twice the number of enemies on our side, Arendell's navy was almost wiped out.
Arendell suffered such a heavy blow, and it was basically difficult to assemble a fleet to go out to sea.
Near the port.
With waves after wave, a broken deck gradually floated to the edge of the port. The nearby defenders seemed to have noticed it and quickly shouted loudly.
There were more broken wood blocks nearby, and the waves rushed them nearby.
Rumble!
Another lightning flashed across the sky.
Under the dark clouds, the waves on the sea were even more amazing. In the deep night, there seemed to be a terrible monster, silently staring at the island, waiting to swallow everything on it at any time.
