"It's not very good." Alisa put a cup of coffee on the table, and the bottom of the white porcelain cup came into contact with the tray, and the dark suspension swayed slightly, and a layer of light was plated on the liquid surface. She looked at the information projected on the crystal, some of which were fed back from the wind element detector. "The pirates were not far away, and there was some new information on the wind element detector."
"It's the Imperial Navy." Fang Yu had actually received a message from Miss Tata. He raised his head from the chart and saw that Miss Virgin was placing the objects in the cabinet one by one, with meticulous movements and no distractions.
Silvede held a small flag in his hand, nailed thumbtacks on different routes and tied them to the line to indicate the locations of different imperial fleets. The closest one was still from the Frecht, and several fleets were also close.
"Have Balosha woke up?" he asked, turning his head.
"No, Jita used some means to keep him asleep. The pirate king has been resurrected many times. This is to prevent him from committing suicide."
Catherine said, "The Blood Shark Pirates are not wandering because of this reason. They are afraid that Basak will be resurrected. If they give up searching, the brutal pirate king will not let each of them go back on the ship."
The female pirate leaned against the window, and the swift sword hung on one side with a sheath, holding her hands. Since she had just walked around outside, the water vapor in the sea fog at night was very heavy, and some dewdrops were stained on her waist, which was shining with light.
"So the pirates actually don't have much threat to us." Fang Yu stated.
"Yes," Katherine looked at him, "the real trouble is the Oshu people, what are you going to do, little guy."
"I would rather call me Captain than this."
The woman laughed: "You were my client before, and I called you the captain out of respect for the boss, but now I am your senior, and you are just some little heads in front of me."
Fang Ling looked at the woman. The other party was the captain of the privateer fleet ordered by the Kaorin-Ishurien royal family. As far as he knew, the king only had a privateer fleet that had been away all year round - the captain of the Tianqin, the red-haired Erantz.
Her father was a well-known pirate Bluebeard, and her grandfather was also a smuggling merchant. She was raised in a pirate family. However, she was rebellious and chose to join the Kaorin-Ishurien Navy. Soon after, she returned to her old business and attacked the armed merchant fleet of the empire with a ship "Tianqin".
After that, he became famous in one battle and gradually became the core figure of the kingdom's privateer fleet.
In theory, she should be loyal to the Kaolin royal family and is unlikely to have anything to do with them - even obeying the prime minister, it is not necessarily necessary to come and arrest them.
But the other party obviously did not act like this-
"Don't be surprised," the woman smiled at that time and said to them: "I obeyed the Korlin royal family, but I never said that there was only one employer, and someone asked me to come to you."
"Someone? Minmeer?"
Fang Yu looked at the other party with some doubts. If the woman really gave such an answer, he would have asked Miya to confiscate the other party's weapons immediately, which would be a bit too insulting everyone's IQ.
"He is also considered one, but not just him," Katherine replied with a smile, her eyes shifting to Miya on the side: "It's Xingmen Port."
"Singmen Port? Military?"
Fang Yu suddenly thought of the other party's origin and looked at the female pirate in surprise.
When Miya noticed the other person's gaze, she suddenly remembered someone, which made the wolf girl feel a little uncomfortable.
And Fang Yu had already called out the name: "Is it Sister Bai Jia?"
Miya's face twitched.
Fang Rong didn't notice this detail, but Su Changfeng was not in Xingmen Port at the moment, and the only person in charge of the military contacted him was Bai Jia.
Not to mention that the other party had just left Xintaan, she also had this motivation.
But the military could contact him directly, so why did he find such a woman to contact them? Although the red-haired female pirate is often only known in the area of ​​Kaorin-Ishurien, she is also a legendary figure.
Or is it because of the interruption of Star Gate communication?
But time doesn't match, let alone how could the other party know that he would take the Chili Islands route?
"I'm employed by the Royal Family of Korlin, but your people in Xingmen Port also need me to maintain the stability of the waterway in Saint Hugh'an and check and balance the Blood Shark Pirates," Katherine replied lightly, "After all, I will not attack the fleet of Korlin-Ihugh'an in comparison."
"With this relationship, it's not surprising that they can contact me. I'm happy to earn two rewards. After you made a big fuss in Aiyin Bullock, your people contacted me, hoping I can provide you with some help."
She looked at Fang Ling, "I also knew your identities since then, but if you hadn't dared to slap Oshu in front of you, I wouldn't have been lazy to take on this task."
"Ms. Catherine has a grudge against the Imperial people?"
"There is a grudge? It's not a question," Catherine shook her head lightly, "But I am an old rival and I, too, will have to owe some blood debts to my hands. Of course, I am happy to see the people of the Empire suffer."
"So you weren't that smuggler from the beginning?"
Catherine was stunned for a moment and immediately shook her head.
"Why would you ask this question?" she asked back, "If I weren't, how would I know your relationship with Minmeer?"
Fang Yu looked at the other party with doubts.
Although it seems a bit suspicious, he really can't find a second reason to explain it.
The privateer fleet is more wandering in the gray area than the armed merchant fleet. People only know this female pirate, and few people have seen her.
He also only knew that Kaurin-Ishurien had a privateer fleet active in Cape Saint Huoan. Catherine's mission was not only to attack the Imperial fleet, but more importantly to fight against the Blood Shark Pirates and compete for control of Saint Huoan.
This also fits the other party's description.
The sudden opening of the door interrupted his thoughts.
Tianlan broke in from outside the deck and shouted in a hurry: "Brother Ed, there is an imperial fleet near us."
"It's the Fleet of the Flechin," Fang Yu raised his head, "Miss Tata has told me this. How about it? Can you see the Imperial people?"
"At the seven o'clock direction," Tianlan complained, "Brother Ed, the wind element detector on the ship is too old-fashioned and reacts too slowly. When they find each other, they are already on our port side."
Fang Yu stood up and silently recorded this point, frowned slightly.
The Seven Seas Traveler originally came to the Zhili Islands to avoid the search of the Imperial Navy, but the two imperial fleets have always been with them, one from Oka in the north and the other from Breta.
As Minmeer expected, the Imperials did not intend to let them go easily.
But the movements of the Blood Shark Pirates made the original plan to pass through the Zhili Islands quietly ruined. Once the Freich squadron was dispatched, other imperial fleets in the nearby waters would definitely respond, and the road ahead became confusing again.
"But why didn't the imperial people go to trouble those pirates?" Tianlan cursed the bad guys in a low voice. "If it weren't for them, we would probably have left the Chili Islands, which is so unlucky."
"distance?"
Fang Zhu asked.
But the poet couldn't answer.
He had no choice but to pass through the drawing table, pass by the sky blue and walk out the door. It was pitch black outside, without moonlight, and he could not see his five fingers. There was only a wind light on the mast not far away, illuminating a limited range.
The deck swayed, proving that the sailboat was still moving, and the sea breeze was filled with the fragrance of the wind ether—a little fresh and intoxicating, and the temperature was very low, Silmide put on a coat for him from behind, but he could still feel the coldness in the air.
Fang Zhu took the telescope from Alisa's hand, walked to the side of the boat, picked up the telescope and looked back, and saw only a few lit lights flashing between the clouds from time to time, and the distance was ten skyscrapers, just like a flash of fireflies and extinguishing.
"The Fleet of Frecht has two fourth-class battleships, four or five fifth-class patrol ships, and the others are fast sailing ships. If the other party comes out in full swing, it will be a good wind and they will soon catch up."
Alisa followed. "But if we turn to the wind, we will crash into another encirclement net. The nearby sea area is already full of the Imperial fleet."
"That's probably the other party's intention." Catherine replied.
"The Oshus have most of us discovered us," Fang Zhu concluded, "Although the blood shark pirates led them over, their main purpose is still us. Let's turn, we have to get rid of the Frechers."
"What should I do if I can encircle the net?"
"Which imperial fleet came from which the blockade line formed ahead of us?" Fang Yu looked at Silvede.
"To the north of us is Oka's third fleet. This fleet is the size of the Oshu people's cruise fleet and is much larger than the local patrol fleet in Frecht. Their main force should still be in the Bapaar Islands, but the vanguard fleet is enough to set up several encirclements ahead of us."
Silvede looked at a map in his hand, "If we turn north against the wind, we will crash into this encirclement net. Judging from the information sent back by the released clockwork fairy, we can already see the brisk sailboat released by the other party in Gzelia."
Her eyes fell on Fang Yu.
Fang Zhu's brow sank slightly. The Seven Seas Traveler is currently located near Garshur, and he keeps sailing eastward. Going eastward are Gzelia and the Bapal Islands, but Bapal is still further north of Guimana, where the Oka fleet draws a blockade.
The front of the blockade line is located in Gzelia, which means they still have the opportunity to stagger the main force of the Third Fleet.
"Where is the direction of the Blood Shark Pirate?" Fang Zhu asked.
"Behind us, too." Alisa replied.
"Then we can turn north and not only get rid of the Frechers' fleet, but also these dog-skin plasters - if these guys follow us, they will be exposed to the eyes of the Seventh Fleet in Britta to the south."
“The Empire will welcome them.”
"And the fleet of Oka and Britta are setting up blockades one south and one north. If we are dragged here for too long by the Frechers, the situation will be very unfavorable. It is better to use those pirates. Our troubles are also caused by them," Fang Yu concluded, "It is impolite to come but not go, so turn."
He said, looking at Catherine beside him, if the Blood Shark Pirates were half responsible, and the other half was on the woman.
The Qihai Traveler account soon began to turn.
Most of the main ships of the Oshu people are not schooners. Only fast sailboats hanging wing sails can barely keep up with the Qihai Traveler, but the Qihai Traveler, which has a fairy heart, is almost unrivalled in sailboats of the same size, and soon throws the other party out of sight.
However, Fang Yu knew that all this was just a manifestation. The other party intended to drive them into the encirclement in the north. In Gzelia, there might be another battle waiting for them.
At one o'clock in the morning, the Qihai Traveler encountered its first battle.
When they passed an unnamed floating stone island on the southern edge of Gzelia, two fast sailboats hidden there were killed from the island edge, one of which fired at them, and the shells flew over the port side of the Qihai Traveler.
Fang Zhu asked Parker to fight back with a crossbow, and at the same time released the lancers. The air combat structure was installed a few miles away to catch up with one of the fast sailboats and sank it.
Another fast sailboat fled to the west, but was also caught up by another group of fire giants, and exploded and penetrated the opponent's upper deck, causing a big fire, burning the main mast, and the fast sailboat that had lost its power burned on the side of the stone island.
At 2:00, the last trace of the opponent disappeared on the sea of ​​the sky and completely overturned.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, the battle delayed the Qihai Traveler's account for nearly an hour. After the air combat installation was retracted, a new batch of fluctuations appeared on the wind element detector, and about seven ships approached the sea from different directions.
"It's still the wing sailboat of the Empire," Alisa saw the message from Miss Tata, "they just wanted to hold us back."
Wing sailboats are a special type among fast sailboats, especially those with more wing sails hanging on the side than the main sail. Most of these ships are not too big, but they are extremely flexible and good at fighting in a changing environment near the sea.
Most of these ships belong not to the Third and Seventh Fleets of the Oshy, but to the Gezeria local patrol fleet.
"Don't worry, keep the course."
The two fast sailboats I just encountered should be the vanguards of the Oka people fleet, but the wing sailboats of the local patrol fleet are mostly not as well-trained as the main navy of the Empire. Although there are more numbers, they are mostly mobs.
As he expected, the local fleet of Gzelia lost two winged sailboats at the beginning of the battle, and the remaining sailboats fled around. The Seven Seas Traveler did not deliberately pursue it, but still sank another ship on the other side.
However, during the melee, the opponent's chain bullet penetrated through one of the main sails of the Qihai Traveler. Fang Zhu had to ask Cui Xisi and Luo Hao to urgently change the sails. At about 4:20 in the morning, the Qihai Traveler was once again caught up by the advance squadron of the Third Fleet.
This time we came five light sailing ships, two sixth-class patrol ships, and a fourth-class battleship, the "Triumph" and the battle broke out at dawn, which was about the most tragic battle that the Qihai Traveler had experienced since that night.
The battle ended in just half an hour, and Fang Zhu won the final victory. The ships of all sizes of the imperial people were floating in the air with the same wreckage.
But winning is not easy, and Qihai Traveler's account was also bombed several times-
One of the shells penetrated the air combat deck, destroying one of the crystal storage devices, and with several gun knights who were preparing for battle on the air combat deck at that time, and a dragon hunter. Fortunately, Cui Xisi escaped, and the naturalist Miss was unfortunately hit by a sharp wood piece and sent to the infirmary.
Another shell made a hole in the stern stairs, causing one wall of the captain's room to disappear from the collection there, but compared with the loss caused by this shell was smaller.
In addition, three shells were blocked by the shield of the magic engine, which only caused different degrees of damage to one side of the armor plate and some cabins.
The shell that penetrated the cabin also cut off several pipes that conveyed magic power, causing the hull of the Qihai Traveler to tilt by about 7°. Because the magic engine was damaged, the speed also dropped to about three-quarters.
However, the results of the Qihai Traveler were also outstanding.
The sixth-class patrol ship "Walnut".
The sixth-class patrol ship, "Gartyr Burton".
The fourth-class battleship "Triumph".
And seven brisk sailboats, except for one of them successfully escaped with injuries, all the others turned into skeletons, floating in the night with dazzling flames.
"The Knight of the Gun lost more than 70% of the money," Cui Xisi came to the deck with no regard for bandages on her head. The other party said, "Nearly half of them will have to undergo overhaul before they can be re-entered. There are still some dragon hunters left, but we should not fight on the shore, right?"
"Miss Tata said that the Qihai Traveler will be engaged in battle again in the future, and can only maintain less than 20% of the combat effectiveness at most. If possible, try to avoid getting involved in the conflict again."
Fang Zhu looked at the firelight under the night, and a ray of dawn had jumped from the sky, and the magnificent colors were reflected under the clouds.
He looked at Silweid-
The shipmaster nodded and replied: "It will take at least seven hours for the main force of the Oka fleet to arrive south from the Bapal Islands. It has been almost five hours since we set out. If we can cross the last link of the Chili Islands, the main island of Brianos, before seven in the morning, we will be able to break out before the Imperial people complete the encirclement."
"Can we do it?" Cui Xisi couldn't help asking.
It is almost difficult for Kōhai to use other people in the battle. There is no military preparation on Qihai Traveler, so it depends almost entirely on her. Fang Yu and Miss Tata were involved in the command structure to fight. After one night, Fang Yu and his Miss Dragon Soul were fine, and the two of them were used to it.
And she was almost exhausted.
"Yes," Fang Yu nodded, "but there is a fleet ahead of us."
"The Oshu people's squadron set off from the main island of Brianos has only three ships, two of which are sixth-class patrol ships, but the flagship is the 'San Jose'," Catherine looked at the others, "that was a second-class battleship."
"It shouldn't have been here, but it just finished the route between Kaurin-Ishurien and the Giant Tree Hill, and is currently on its way back, anchored in the Port of Brianos, which forms part of the blockade."
"The main battleship of the empire," Cui Xisi took a breath, "How could we beat it? Even if the Qihai Traveler is in good condition, there is little hope, let alone what is now?"
She couldn't help asking, "Can we get around? The San Jose is an old-fashioned warship, and if we don't meet it, it's impossible to catch up with us at its clumsy speed."
"I'm afraid not," Fang Yu shook his head. "The other party is moving south with the wind for us. If we turn back, we will hit the fleet of Blood Shark Pirates and the Frechers behind us. The San Jose is the last line of defense, and we must cross it."
"But...how can we get past it?"
"Miss Miya can only be allowed to take action," Fang Rong looked at Miya on the side, "Through Gzelia, it is the southern chain of the Bapal Islands. There are many nameless empty islands where we can hide and ambush the Empire people once."
"If we can get close enough to avoid being caught, we might be able to give it a try."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "Miss Kemiya is a dragon knight," Cui Xisi seemed a little worried, "It really doesn't matter if she takes action in the first world again and again?"
Fang Zhu looked at the wolf girl.
Miya shook her head gently, a little calm: "The alliance has long fired me, not to mention that I am still on the wanted order of Star Gate. Unlike your gray wanted order, in theory, I am also on the list of arrests in Star Gate Port."
Her words sounded alarmist, but she did not look afraid, but instead seemed a little quiet.
"My identity was mostly revealed when I was fighting Isa and Sandrew. Even if Minmeer didn't tell Prometheus for your sake, S.O.L.I.D and Gray Filed had mostly taken action. When they acted, it means that other guilds in the three major competition zones had taken action with Xingmen Port."
"So actually, I think I don't have to worry about debts. If I violate some rules, it doesn't matter. If those people want to attack me, they have to wait to catch me before talking. It's not that easy for a dragon knight to surrender."
She looked at Fang Zhu with her silver eyes, "So it's not safe for you to stay on the Qihai Traveler, but if you want me to take action, I won't object."
Miya shook her head gently.
Fang Yu was speechless for a moment. These things were actually facts that he had known for a long time, but when he was in Campa, the witch of the sea made a move for them, so he would never ask the other party to leave again, let alone after Rodrigo's treasure house battle.
After that, everyone more or less accepted the uninvited witch of the sea.
"Miss Miya, then I'll ask you."
He didn't say anything anymore.
Catherine watched this scene with great interest.
Especially after knowing Miya's true strength, these people brought her even greater surprises than they thought - she looked at Fang Yu and then Miya next to her. It was really hard to imagine how the other party could make a dragon knight obey her own words?
She looked at Fang Yu up and down. Is this young boy so charming?
Even if you know that the other party is a dragon alchemist.
Her eyes swept across the dark sea again, and with the scattered flames on it, the Empire lost more than ten ships in just one night, including two patrol ships and a main battleship.
That was almost equivalent to the loss of a moderately intense naval battle. In comparison, her glorious deeds of looting the Imperial armed merchant fleet were nothing more than that.
Catherine withdrew her gaze and spoke: "Actually there is another way, but it's relatively risky - your goal is nothing more than to break through the encirclement of the imperial people before it is completed. In addition to speeding up one's own speed, why not consider dragging down the other party's speed."
"Draging the other party's speed?"
Fang Zhu asked.
"I know there is a reef-covered sea in the Bapaar Islands. The undercurrents in that area are surging. If you can get to that place before the San Jose, you can easily shake off this old sailboat from there."
"But that channel is not simple at all. It is called the 'Devil' by people. If you don't have any courage, I don't mind you choosing a safer way."
She looked at Miya: "As for this lady, you should try to take as little as possible. It's not just the rules, but I'm afraid you will attract the Dragon Knights from the Empire."
Chapter completed!
