Chapter 657 The Beginning of the Cloud
[Thanks to Xianluo Fanchen L, Mrrar's monthly pass support. Thank you, Brother Xiang, for giving rewards and gifts almost every day. Thank you for your support! Christmas is coming in a blink of an eye. Here I wish you all a Merry Christmas!
Looking up at the ever-changing sky, the radiation clouds are still the same as before. Jella spit out a smoke ring and complained, "It's so boring. Why is it my turn to be on duty today?"
"Don't complain, I'm not the same. What's more, Diqi, Madeira and others are not the same, and you are not the only one guarding. Karu, leaning against a tree and wiping the old-powered gunpowder rifle under the tree, said.
They are all trainee crew members of a pirate ship, and today is a big day for the pirates in the sea house. After all, the Order of the Sea God is not available every year. Which pirates don't want to participate? However, these crew members have been assigned other tasks. After all, they can't let everyone go to the Po God Arena. On the one thing, the audience seats are limited, and on the other, someone needs to keep watch or something.
And newcomers like Gela and Caru are even more unlucky, who are assigned to the sentries on both sides of the Whisperer Strait. As an important passage to Roaring Bay and Sea House, Sea House has been setting up hidden sentries on both sides of the Whisperer's Strait to monitor nearby situations
The sentry will change every time to ensure that it will not be figured out by the people in the Pope's Hall.
The crew on duty is served by pirates kept in the sea house, but in a special situation like today, it is entrusted to the trainee crew.
"This arrangement is simply superfluous." Gera grabbed her hair and said, "The Pope's Hall is not stupid. We held the sea god so that they won't know. Knowing that there are captains gathered on our sea house now, and there are legendary captains like Cidrera and Manshan, how can they not attack here?
"Ah, I really want to see Captain Cinella's appearance, and I really want to see Captain Hook's martial arts skills. I don't want to be here." He rolled his head on the grass, and the trainee crew was troubled by small troubles.
Caru sighed and wanted to kick the annoying guy into the strait to feed the fish. But I thought it would be more boring if no one accompanied me on rotation after kicking him down, so I withdrew my mind.
"Hey, it's time to check the sea. Don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead." He kicked his companion angrily, Caru said.
Jella touched her buttocks and stood up, looked at the * in Kalu's hand and said, "One day I will tear you down and ask you to play with it like a woman all day long, and I won't help you light a fire."
Caru laughed and said, "What do you know, Gera? One day, I will be the captain with this gun.
"Just dream!" Gera picked up a telescope from the side and looked at the sea outside the strait as usual. He said, "I really don't understand what's good. Except for a few broken islands, not even a seagull... ..."
In the telescope, a black spot faintly appeared on the horizon. And the black spot is not constant, but gradually expands. Gera immediately adjusted the multiple of the telescope, and the picture immediately expanded. Suddenly, a pattern crashed into Gera's eyes.
It is a silver cross entangled by golden roses at the bottom, and a long sword full of gems extends diagonally out of the cross. The pattern is gorgeous, but more importantly, it is the symbol of the Order of the Holy Seal!
Jera quickly adjusted the multiples, and then he saw a medium-sized boat with two masts. After the second-class warship in Pope's Hall, more ships gradually appeared on the sea level, which turned out to be a fleet!
Kalu suddenly looked at his companion strangely, and Gera was trembling all over, as if she had seen something terrible. Karu couldn't help asking, "Hey, what's wrong with you!"
The voice of her companion brought Gera back to her senses, and the trainee pointed to the other side of the strait and stammered, "appeared..."
"What appeared?"
"Ship..." Gera shook her head suddenly and shouted, "No, it's a warship. The warship phalanx of the Holy Indian Knights! Damn, a whole fleet is coming towards us!"
"What?" Karu immediately grabbed the telescope from the trainee. After looking at it for a while, he put down the telescope and shouted at Gera: "Come on, send a signal! It must be the highest-level danger alert in red!"
Jera nodded, ran quickly to the nearby hidden hut, and then took out a signal gun. One hand covered his ears and the other hand fired a gun at the sky. Suddenly, a red smoke dragged a little flash straight to the sky, leaving a deep red mark above the strait.
Before long, a red smoke shot out of the front strait, and then the red smoke rose on the strait, and even several isolated islands in the roaring bay raised the same smoke. The alarm was sent back to the Sea House. When the sentry on duty at the dock saw it, it quickly rang the alarm bell of the dock, so the emergency bell echoed on the island.
In the Nepand Arena, the pirates rushed out of the arena one after another and took their own vehicles to the dock to prepare for defense according to the instructions of their captain. Some important figures such as Zero and Cinderila came to the Sea King Bar. Outside the bar, X casually picked a table. Push the things above to the ground with one hand and yell at the waiter, "Bow me the nautical chart!"
The nautical chart was drawn by Mr. X himself when he had nothing to do, and now it just came in handy. Zero has temporarily won the trust of the pirates, and the attack on the Pope's Hall warship just took the opportunity for him to build his majesty. It's just a dull pain in the wound cut by Hooker's guilloin, and the memory team has been given emergency treatment before. Normally, it would recover in two or three hours.
But the back zero used the power of the ninth level and pressed the two captains with one stroke, and suddenly injured them. The wound that had healed was torn again, and the injury deepened due to excessive force. According to zero estimates, he now needs twice as much time to heal.
Cindrira was next to him and said with concern, "Are you all right?"
Zero smiled and patted her hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Let's see how to deal with the Pope's Hall."
On the other side, the waiter has spread Mr. X's nautical chart on the table. The nautical chart clearly shows the trend of all the islands and currents near the Roaring Bay and the Whisperer Strait, which is a valuable strategic map for Zero. Several important captains also surrounded him, but Hook's face was a little gloomy after seeing Cedra and Zero's intimate appearance just now. Looking at the manshan next to him, he could only pat his shoulder for him, but he was powerless to change anything.
"Who can tell me what's going on now?" Zero asked after looking at the nautical chart.
Including Cedra, the captain present looked at Mr. X. Mr. X is not only the owner of the Haihuang Bar and the main person in charge of the defense work of Haihuang Bar. Naturally, he knows the situation best now. And after firing the signal gun warning, a sentman sent the specific information back to the island through Mr. X's blue-backed gull as soon as possible.
X clapped his hand on the Whisperer's Strait and said, "According to what we know, the Pope's Hall has sent a medium-sized fleet to move closer to the Whisper's Strait. The purpose is self-evident. As Captain Zero said, Sauron really acted. And this time he put his blood into it, and the war is about to break out!"
"But it's impossible to beat us with a medium-sized fleet alone. Doesn't Sauron know this?" A captain asked.
Mr. X's eyes were cold and said, "So our sentry can't see the commander-class ships. They should attack from somewhere else."
"You can't walk the bay road of the Whisperer Strait." Huke whispered.
nodded and asked, "I heard that the Iron scale is the largest among the four major pirate groups. Which channel does it usually take to reach the Sea Home?
Cinderella and others were shocked, and Mr. X nodded: "I also thought of this problem." His palm fell on another sea, where islands are scarce, but the signs of the current are extremely complicated: "The Iron scale usually bypasses the Whispers Strait and takes the devil's route. Now that Dipola has been confirmed to be Sauron's lackey, other regimental ships can also come from here.
"Because of the many undercurrents, small and medium-sized ships can't be crossed. Only large building ships like the Ironscale or Pope's Hall can sail safely like sea tanks, but if they take the Devil's Passage, they will arrive two to three days later than the medium-sized fleet. Cinderila said, "Now it seems that the number of tons of the Ironscale and the large buildings of the Knights is almost the same. Sauron must have been looking for a route through which large ships can also pass safely, so that he can use the most powerful force against us when necessary!"
"What a treacherous man!" Manshan clapped his hands and said, "Then the situation is obvious now. Let's deal with the medium fleet coming in from the Whispers Strait first. As long as we destroy the large building ships before they arrive, we will have time to fight against each other's commanders and round table knights!"
After he finished speaking, the other captains joined one after another. Only Clerella and Huke bowed their heads and shook their heads at the moment: "No, say something unpleasant. Everyone on the island can probably fight with the other party's ships with all their strength. And now the key is that we don't know how many legion commanders have come. So if you rush to guard the Whisperer Strait, as long as the other party comes to two ships, I don't think you have extra strength to fight at that time, right?"
Manshan spread out his hands and said, "What should we do? We can't ignore the medium fleet, can we?"
"Of course not. I just want to say that the Whisperer Strait..." Ling said lightly, "Just leave it to my people in charge. All of you on the island and I can fight against the legion commanders and their ships in the Pope's Hall.
Hearing Zero's words, even X felt that he was a little big. Unless zero people have a regiment, how to fight with a medium fleet? Feeling everyone's eyes, Cinderila replied for him, "I've been on his boat. Don't worry. There are at least two ninth-level, eight-level four and a number of six- or seven-level soldiers on it, plus about 50 soldiers, it is enough to intercept the fleet of the Pope's Hall in the restricted terrain of the Whispers Strait.
"Two ninth-order..."
"Four of the eighth level and several of the sixth and seventh levels..."
Hearing this news, whether it was Manshan or other captains, even X had a sense of surprise. They never thought that Zero's captain was hiding a group of capable people, and there were so many high-levels! Hearing the news, X was surprised for a while, and gradually took a smile at the corners of his mouth: "With so many high-level words, you can win! We will not lose to the Pope's Hall in this war!"
Infected by Mr. X, the other captains also laughed and discussed how to make the ship killed in the Pope's Hall look good. On the other hand, Clera whispered, "When will you arrange these and why I don't know."
"Before the Water Monster came to pick us up, you were busy contacting your crew at that time."
"So that's it, I said... Wait, you didn't know that the Pope's Hall would call at that time, did you?"
Zero lowered his head and whispered, "Think about it. If you are Sauron, and now you are worried about not having a chance to catch all the pirates, what would you think when you suddenly heard them holding a sea god order?
Cindera suddenly realized and pinched the back of her hand with hatred and said, "It turns out that you issued a sea god order, and there is such a plan in it!"
"So I said that Sauron is trying to change the power pattern of the western continent. This is the tide of the times, which is a trend. And I used his trend to guide me in the other direction I hoped for, which is also a trend. Look, I will gradually lead the situation to our side. Before long, Sauron will find that although Ista and the pirates are no longer there, the situation in the Western Continent will still not be beneficial to him!" Zero self-confidence.
At the same time, the middle section of the Whisperer Strait. Feng jumped on a big stone on the shore and shouted, "Kids, work hard for me! Those stupid pirates have found that the warships in the Pope's Hall are coming. Since the head ordered us to meet them here, we have to do a good job. Let these guys in the Western Continent see what professionalism is!"
"Yes, Lord Feng!"
Soldiers on both sides of the shore shouted.
Just a few days ago, when I landed in Shanghai, Destiny also docked on an isolated island near the Whisperer Strait. Ye Liu and ten soldiers guarded the ship, as well as non-combat personnel such as Billy and Dr. Kiya, also stayed outside the captain. The rest, such as Franklin, Feng, Su and a large number of capable people, plus the rest of the soldiers, poured out.
They crossed a small section of calm sea in a rubber charm and arrived at the Whisperer's Strait, and then secretly marched into the middle of the strait. After a few days, they had set up interceptions here, waiting for the fleet in the papal hall to hit the gun by itself.
Listening to Feng's fingering, Hai Wei made a grimace and said, "When the head left, it was very clear. Let's listen to the vice captain instead of you."
"What does the girl without breasts and buttocks know? Is this called cheering?" Feng sneered.
Hai Wei suddenly said angrily, "Who has no breasts and buttocks!"
Feng's eyes moved back and forth on her and said, "Do you have any? Why didn't I see it?"
Haiwei can't wait to tear the hateful man in front of her to pieces: "That's because he hasn't developed yet!"
"Then talk to me when you are well developed."
Looking at the two tit-for-tat, Su sitting next to him shook his head and sighed, "Two childish guys."
She focused on wiping her epee and suddenly felt the ground shake gently.
First, a circle of ripples appeared on the surface of the water cup, followed by circles of ripples, and finally splashed water from the cup. People nearby also felt the shock, which originated from their rear. Everyone stopped the office at hand and only felt the amazing pressure from the corner of the strait. Then a hill-high figure turned in from the corner, and above his head, there was a mountain-like boulder.
Franklin bit the cigar and his muscles bulged. The surface of the body exudes amazing temperature, which even raises a scorching smoke. The giant leaned his head forward and put a big stone against his neck and thick back. The surface of the stone is irregular, and it seems that it was dug out for him. Franklin plunged his hands into the stone and was walking over with more than a dozen tons of boulder.
He walked along the coast, leaving a deep footprint on the shore every time he landed. After coming nearby, he shouted, "Get out of the way!"
So the people on both sides of the homework quickly flashed aside, and Franklin snorted and threw the stone hard. The stone fell obliquely in the middle of the river with the roaring wind. Although the river of the strait has not been completely blocked, I don't think there will be a boat to drive through.
Feng smiled and said to Franklin, "Well done, big man!"
Franklin grinned and said, "I can't wait to have a big fight."
Judging from the speed of the Pope's Hall fleet, it can enter the Whispers' Strait tomorrow morning, and the people of Destiny are also stepping up their preparations. When this side was beating gongs to surprise the Pope's Hall, four large ships slowly drove into the area known as the Devil's Channel, as far north of the Whispers' Strait.
The reason why it is called the Devil's Channel is that there are very few islands, so there is a lack of natural windbreaks. The wind has been blowing for many years, and it is difficult for ordinary sailboats to pass. In addition, the undersea environment here is very complex, resulting in many and complex undercurrents in the sea. There are more than a dozen small whirlpools in the sea alone, and small tonnage ships can't travel at all.
Only large ships such as the Ironscale or the head of the Pope's Hall, which use hybrid power and can be called sea tanks, can overcome the threat of strong winds and turbulence to survive safely.
Now, four large ships have just entered at the entrance of the Devil's Channel. Among them, the Iron scales is at the front, and three buildings are behind it. Judging from the flag on the building ship, these three buildings are the cars of the three leaders of the 3rd Regiment, the 7th Regiment and the 8th Regiment.
At this moment, on the deck of the third regiment leader's frame, a tall and thin figure walked to the bow. He is about 40 years old, but his hair is already pale. Only the beard at the chin is black. Wearing a silver-white silk lining and a dark soft combat armor, a scarlet cloak hung at his feet and flew in the wind.
Carlomont, the head of the Third Regiment of the Holy Seal, the god of guns, frowned and looked at the iron scales in front of him and sighed in a low voice: "The Knights are going to be reduced to cooperating with pirates. Is the principle of the Pope's Hall already useless?"
