Chapter 377: The Collapsing Truth(2/2)
'A fish-man?'
Then she saw the fish-man with an eyepatch smiling happily at her, revealing a mouth full of tiny fangs.
Then he hit her on the head with a pickaxe.
boom
This elf, which had been in trouble forty-six years ago, lost consciousness.
The environment at sea is always changing and unpredictable. One moment there is thunder and lightning, and heavy rain. The next second it suddenly becomes calm, and it can even be said to be sunny and windy.
But people who have experience in this will not think that the storm will really pass.
They were just extremely lucky to enter the eye of a storm with a diameter of about 40 nautical miles. Maybe in a few minutes, the terrible storm will 'come' again.
But the storm that suddenly stopped also made the remaining pirates realize their situation.
After seeing the bodies that were almost piled up on the merchant ship and the four ghost ships that looked like 'dead fish' on the side, the remaining twenty or so pirate ships turned the rudders without explanation, trying to escape from this floating ship on the sea.
'Scary' monsters, and a seemingly endless army of mermaids in the sea.
Among them is the flagship of Eric the Red Devil.
Even though he has a lot of experience, he has never encountered such a ridiculous and terrifying situation. Fortunately, he has always been cautious. Even if the battle plan seems to be foolproof, he will never go to the front line immediately.
And this habit also allowed him to avoid disaster.
Looking at the mottled but still standing armored ship, he felt an unspeakable complex feeling in his heart.
He seems to have foreseen that in the near future, the entire sea area will be replaced by this kind of ironclad warships, and all forces will compete to develop and manufacture this kind of warships or warships that can compete with them.
The golden years of piracy are gone forever
On the Dreadnaught, the battle was almost over, and everyone who was active began to help clean up the battlefield and escort the pirates who were rushing to surrender just to save their lives.
At the bow of the ship, I saw the silver-white jackal holding the sword that was half the width of a door panel as a shovel. He kept scooping up the pieces of meat from the mountain of corpses and swung them into the sea water. Suddenly,
Attracting countless sea fish.
This scene almost frightened the surrendered pirates out of their wits. Although they usually did things like sinking corpses in the sea, the two orders of magnitude pictures gave people absolutely completely different perceptions.
Even Alyssa, who had originally planned to scatter her father's ashes into the sea in this area, silently gave up the idea and only planned to wait until the Sea of Glory.
‘This sea has been unclean’ Alyssa said silently.
For the adventurers on the ship, this escort journey was too thrilling.
However, when they looked around after the war, they were shocked to find that after experiencing this epic encounter, most of the guys they were familiar with were still alive, even if some were seriously injured, and most of them had been treated by the priests.
Only a few of the more unlucky ones were directly hit in the vital parts by pirates during the initial boarding battle, and could not be rescued immediately, or were thrown out of the ship and fell into the sea due to the bumps of the waves and the chaotic battle situation.
Missing.
And all this is because there are too many strong men like Hotz on this ship.
So much so that they all began to doubt life. Since there are so many strong people on the ship, what is the point of hiring them?
"I'm afraid we are just a cover-up, just like the wooden slats on the exterior of the Dauntless." Jason, who had his chest bandaged, couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This guess, which was closest to the truth, caused all the adventurers to fall into silence.
"Whatever, I have money and can save my life. Although this journey is a bit thrilling, it is definitely not a loss. When I return to Amn, I can use it to brag about it for the rest of my life!" The dwarf took a sip of his wine.
, clicked one’s tongue and praised the strange way.
"Well, maybe some dancers will give it to me for free." The soldier who had taken off his armor laughed.
""Jason didn't know what to say for a moment.
Sharila, who was sitting next to her the entire time, also smiled coquettishly.
She always felt that she seemed to have messed up the task
But when everyone thought about it, they seemed to think that was the case.
Although the employer seemed to be hiding something from them, his treatment of them was considered conscientious enough.
"What on earth are they doing?" the soldier asked.
"Maybe this is their purpose." Jason frowned and murmured as he looked at the 'Knight' and Archmage Fisher who were violently dismantling the ghost ship in the distance.
A moment later, when the first ghost ship was violently dismantled, Levi's mouth twitched as he looked at the 'sea monster' at the bottom of the cabin who had died of serious injuries and said:
"That's it??"
The words were full of disgust and disappointment.
Because what is in front of you is a huge dead squid!
He had thought about countless "deep sea magic technology" about the Luskan ghost ship, and he wanted to get hold of this "submarine" technology.
Although slimes can play a similar role by turning into kuo-toa and holding a boat, kuo-toa are amphibians after all. They cannot dive too deep into the sea, nor can they sneak for a long time, and their movement speed is also limited.
Enough.
As a result, after a lot of hard work, I discovered that although there is indeed a design for a sealed air chamber, it is more of a "biotechnology"!
No!
Even technology can't be called it. Fischer detected the remnants of the magical contract in this giant squid.
"That is to say, the mysterious ghost pirate ship built by the Luskan Arcane Brotherhood is actually a hull with a squid on top. It's really a scam."
Can you not cheat?
Because there is no way to copy it! Unless he can also find some giant squids that can already be called 'sea monsters'.
And based on his guess, 80% of these giant squids come from the squid community in the Traceless Sea in the far west.
"Wait, this means that Luskan and the squid community have secretly joined forces, no wonder"
No wonder, Luskan has repeatedly provoked Moonshadow Island in the past two years, and no wonder no one has been able to find the complete wreckage of the ghost ship.
Because even the damaged ghost ship, as a squid with latent power, has "gone out of its shell".
Levi suddenly felt that his trip did not seem to be in vain.
"Boss Alyssa just came over to report that our cabin may not be able to accommodate so many pirate prisoners." Fisher jogged over to report.
And this sentence also attracted the attention of many adventurers and pirate captives.
Especially the pirates, all looked pale and trembling, fearing that their mighty master would directly order them to be sunk into the sea.
As a result, Li Wei's answer made everyone dumbfounded.
"Then clear out all the stones in the warehouse and use them to hold the captives. Take them all to Calinshan and sell them to slave merchants and gladiatorial arenas. It will be a lot of money!"
Levi looked around at the dull-faced pirates with a smile and said coldly.
"Wait for the rocks? We just transported a boatload of rocks." This time Jason finally felt that his head couldn't keep up with this person's rhythm.
And as the equally confused sailors dumped boxes of heavy cargo boxes into the sea, the ship fell into unprecedented silence.
It’s really a stone.
Wow!
A pirate suddenly collapsed on the ground, doubting his life and howling loudly.
They were so miserably deceived.
But at this moment, a sharp voice came faintly from the clouds.
"Oh, are you really fooling everyone around? It's just a young dragon. Shouldn't you compensate me for the precious time I lost for this? Huh?"
Then, a black shadow expanded rapidly on the deck, and in just a short moment, it almost enveloped the entire Dauntless.
At the same time, a rapid sound broke through the air.
Like a meteorite falling to the ground.
