Chapter 296 The Fish King’s Counterattack(1/2)
Bligh Island is another island on the route from Turtle Island to White Bone Island. It is also the only way to White Bone Island.
At this moment, there are five fully armed ships lurking on the back of Bligh Island.
These are among the scattered troops of the Divine Right of Kings. They have just received news from the Emperor and were ordered to ambush the Ghost Captain here.
"Attention, all groups, a three-masted sailboat appears half a mile ahead..."
At this time, the voice of the investigators came from the communication chat among the people.
"Are you sure it's Captain Ghost's ship?"
"Confirm!"
"Quantity?"
"Only one!"
"Okay, everyone, take action immediately and be sure to intercept the opponent..."
……URL.
As the commander of the team issued the order, the five ships sailed out of the island together, lined up on the side of Bligh Island, and forcibly blocked the sailing route of the three-masted sailboat in front.
"Attention, there is fog ahead!"
But just as everyone was in position, before they had time to open fire, someone reported the changes on the sea ahead.
A thick layer of fog suddenly rose, covering the three-masted sailboat in front, and quickly spreading in their direction.
"It's thick fog again, but luckily we made preparations in advance!"
"Everyone, be careful, guard your respective defensive ranges, prevent the other party from sneaking past, and prepare to break the fog mirror..."
Faced with the sudden white mist, everyone did not panic. After all, it was something they had seen before. They suffered a big loss last time. Of course, they had prepared ways to deal with it after returning.
The fog-breaking mirror is a special prop for navigation in the sea areas of the Star Spirit Realm. It looks like a monocular telescope and is specially used to break the fog at sea. You can directly see the scene behind the fog through the lens.
At this moment, two investigators on the five ships took out their fog-breaking mirrors and looked into the fog.
"We found the other party's ship, and it's still on its original route!"
The first message came quickly through chanting.
However, the information returned from the subsequent investigation began to go astray.
"Huh? The other party seems to be accelerating towards us..."
"What's going on? He wants to collide with us?"
……
Generally speaking, when the opponent creates fog, it must be to take advantage of the time to confuse the enemy and escape. Who is hiding in the fog, but still has to sail straight on the original route? Judging from the posture, it seems that they are planning to have a mindless physical collision with them.<
/p>
"It doesn't matter. If he wants to hit him, let him hit him. Everyone should guard their positions and continue investigating!" The commander made a prompt decision.
If the other party really wants to trade with them for one, that would be a good thing. Not to mention trading for one, even if they use all five of their ships to trade for one of the other party's ships to sink, it is definitely worth it.
"No! The other party doesn't seem to be a ship, there are other ships following behind..." At this time, the investigators suddenly heard the exclamation while reading.
"How many people are there?"
"I don't know, I can't see clearly...wait, there seems to be another ship!"
"What's going on?"
"There are at least three ships in the white mist now, no, four...that's not right either..."
At this moment, from the perspective of the investigators, through the light of the fog-breaking mirror, in the fog on the opposite side, the original three-masted sailing ship had turned into three at some point, and the three sea-going ships were rushing towards each other side by side.
However, this was not over yet. Then, more and more ships began to emerge from the sea.
These ships seemed to emerge from the water. One after another, they were arranged around the original three-masted sailboat, guarding it firmly, and rushed towards the crowd's front at extremely high speeds.
p>
"Ten, ten ships!"
"The opponent has ten ships in total, and they are all large pirate ships!"
The investigators' surprised voices sounded in the team communication channel.
"Are you kidding?" The person in charge of the command was a little confused.
All the intelligence they have obtained so far shows that the ghost captain has not united with other players. What's more, they just watched the other party only have one ship to break through single-handedly, why did it suddenly become ten ships?
p>
At this time, not only the commanders were down, but other people also started playing drums. What was originally a five-on-one situation instantly turned into ten-on-five. They were actually crushed in numbers, not to mention that there was one person among them.
How can we fight against a ship that is commanded by a legendary master?
Everyone was anxiously waiting for the new command order, but before they could wait for the new command, a dragon roar sounded above everyone's heads.
"Roar!"
The roar was like rolling thunder, setting off layers of sound waves on the sea, and the deafening sound instantly spread throughout the battlefield.
Everyone looked up subconsciously and saw a giant black dragon with a wingspan of nearly a hundred meters, emerging from the white mist, soaring upward, hovering above everyone's heads.
The black dragon's back is as thick as a mountain, its wings are as wide as clouds, and its broad body almost blocks the sky. The violent airflow is stirred up by the pile of dragon wings, causing huge waves on the sea.
Everyone looked at this scene in shock. Many people had heard of the giant dragon, but this was the first time they had actually seen it. They were all shocked and speechless.
This was not only a shock in terms of size, but also the dragon's power that rushed towards them, making everyone even forget to resist for a moment.
"No, leave quickly!"
The commander responded quickly and hurriedly changed the order.
Unfortunately, it was still a step too late.
After circling for a week, the black dragon hovered over the middle ship, raised its neck, opened its huge mouth, and spit out a mouthful of liquid flames downward!
Although there is only one mouthful of fire, this is relative to the size of the dragon. In fact, this mouthful of fire is enough to completely cover a ship below.
The hot air flow came overwhelmingly, and the sea below suddenly burned into a sea of fire!
The high temperature instantly burned the main body of the ship, and countless people screamed and jumped into the sea to escape.
Players from nearby ships who counterattack are easily blown away by the air flow stirred up by the dragon's wings. Even if they are hit occasionally, they will not hurt if they hit the solid dragon skin.
However, this is only the prelude to the battle.
Immediately afterwards, human shouts rang out in the fog, and several warships rushed out of the thick fog one after another, ramming directly into the five ships on the opposite side. The formation of the ships on the side of the Divine Right of Kings was instantly cut apart, and the scene was filled with chaos.
The man is on his back and the horse is overturned.
After the impact, a large number of people dressed as pirates jumped on the player's ship, grinning evilly, waving weapons and started burning, killing and looting.
Players have never seen such a battle before. They were fought against their own enemies several times, and the defenses on the five ships were almost defeated in one blow...
Tens of seconds later, the emperor and others, who were dozens of nautical miles away, received the news: all five warships on Bligh Island were sunk within one minute of the battle!
"So fast?" The ten people present were stunned.
At this time, they had just broken out of the underwater prison, arrived on the surface of Turtle Island, and were hurrying towards the port.
As a result, they received news of their own defeat on the way. They were all quite surprised: there were five ships and one or two hundred people, but the opponent only had one ship. No matter how powerful the ghost captain was, he couldn't defeat them all so quickly.
Annihilate them?
"What's going on?" Xiaoxiao looked at the emperor hurriedly. He knew that the emperor should have received a more detailed battle report.
The Emperor sighed, shook his head and said: "The other party received help from the Dragon Knight Pirates..."
This explanation was enough. The others looked at each other with expressions of wonder.
The Dragoon Pirates are one of the top local pirate forces in the Evil Sea. No matter in terms of scale or combat effectiveness at sea, they are not inferior to them.
They want to intercept a pirate group of this level at sea with only five ships and one or two hundred people. It is a fantasy!
As for why the other party was able to get the help of the Dragoon Pirates... this is also easy to guess: because Captain Ghost completed the prison escape reward of the Dragoon Pirates.
And gaining the support of the Dragon Knight Pirates is one of the rewards for completing the bounty.
"It seems that this matter is a scam from beginning to end..." He smiled and shook his head.
Judging from the current situation, the collaborator in Jack's mouth has obviously turned to Captain Ghost a long time ago. Captain Ghost has been secretly planning this matter from the beginning, first misleading Jack, and then using Jack's mouth to pass on the wrong information to them.
The intelligence finally led to the meeting place in the special environment of the underwater prison.
And one of the most important reasons why they were all deceived was because no one expected that the ghost captain was actually able to break through the defense system of the underwater prison, and he did all kinds of outrageous things in the prison without being caught by the octopus.
Wang discovered.
"Too insidious!"
Others also cursed secretly in their hearts, but had no choice but to do so, because in the final analysis, they still have abilities beyond everyone's expectations and dare to do whatever they want under the eyes of the Octopus King. They can't accept this.
"Let all the people along the road withdraw to Bone Island." The emperor said at this time.
With a force like the Dragon Rider Pirates escorting them, all the defense lines they set up along the road will become fuel tactics. Going up is just delivering food. It is better to gather together quickly and have a big team battle in front of the last line of defense.
To be continued...
