Every silver sail of the Seven Seas Traveler was mobilized. They were turning in one direction, passing through the wind, snow and ice rain, reflecting the dim starlight above the clouds. In the eyes of experienced sailors, it is like a perfect round dance, traveling in the world of wind among the hail of bullets and bullets.
The roaring gunfire passed by the nimble boat. It was like a deer walking through the forest, hopping away from unpredictable dangers. The fireworks along the way seemed to be fireworks for the dancers, and the firelight only decorated its graceful curves.
Everyone was stunned.
Galas listened to Buck's words and looked at the lonely boat silently.
If anyone is said to be the greatest navigator recognized by the world in Corin-Ithurian since this era, it will almost certainly be Sir Mawei. People even say that there is no sea and storm that this man cannot conquer. No matter how high the wind and waves are, It's just a fierce horse waiting for him to tame it.
In the past five years, no one thought that he had really disappeared in the second world, because the other party might just be on his way to the third door and could not come back for a while.
Therefore, when Buck's eyes reflected the light boat flying in the flames, he almost subconsciously thought that it was the other party's masterpiece. He may not be here anymore, but he still has a daughter. Legend has it that the young lady had inherited the mantle of this great navigator when she was very young.
Only he and his men can control their own ship like an arm and a finger. That ship is his flagship - the Seven Seas Traveler, just like the name of the current ship.
But unfortunately, like most people, Buck was wrong. He just made a mistake that he took for granted.
"Listen up, Buck,"
On the Wrath, the stubble-faced Galas put down the bottle of wine, "I don't believe in Ma Wei, let alone his daughter. I have grown up listening to rumors about this man in the past twenty years, and even earlier. Sometimes I was even inspired by him to step into this empty sea. But today, I want to prove myself and sink his daughter’s ship.”
As he spoke, he cursed and gave orders to his sailors: "I'll sink her. Watch out, our ship is bigger. At this distance, they can hide for a while, but they can't hide for a lifetime. I will sink her today." Don’t believe this evil!”
Buck looked at the other man's back and couldn't help but be silent for a moment. Perhaps the drunken man was right. The best way to pay tribute to the old captain was to defeat him. Although the opposite party is just the daughter of the other party, there is no difference between men and women on this empty sea. They are just people drifting on this sea.
An era has passed, and although that name is destined to be remembered by history, in every era, all kinds of outstanding people always emerge in this land, and it doesn't matter whose daughter or descendant they are.
Those who dare to set foot on this empty sea are not fighting against their own destiny?
He turned around and ordered to his deputy: "Calculate the opponent's route, and we will fire immediately after the anger is fired."
…
The dazzling fire light became more conspicuous and gorgeous in the next moment.
Sylvide grasped the slightly trembling side of the ship with her hands, silently watching the exploding flames and the flying bullets, and replied with flowing eyes: "If I have learned anything from my father - it would be better to say that I have learned something from my father. Kukai’s understanding of this land, and the knowledge about it recorded in the notes he left for me, opened the door to another world for me.”
"The reason why I escaped from the world that restrained me was that their murder of the lady was just a pretext, but no matter what, one day I will be on the road because of this. Of course, being able to accompany the captain on this journey, It’s my honor.”
The stormy waves in front of her seemed to arouse the feelings in the girl's heart. No matter how great the difficulties were, they could not stop the legendary captain.
And as her father's daughter, the same blood flows through her.
The more difficult the situation, the more determined she became.
But Fang Yu was more confident than her.
"Don't worry," he replied in a calm tone, standing on the swaying deck, "They can't stop Miss Tata."
The ship officer smiled after hearing this.
The person controlling the Seven Seas Traveler at this moment is a fairy lady——
In other words, she is the dragon soul of the Seven Seas Traveler.
The firelight flashing from the Fearless and the Furious is like the fireworks for the grand opening of the winter curtain of Corin-Ithurion every year, but it is far from that time now, not to mention the suffering residents of the North this year. Maybe I am not in the mood to celebrate, just like last year.
It was just an exchange of artillery fire, and after the Fury opened fire, the Fearless also opened fire. The two ships seemed to have discussed it in advance. The artillery fire made up for each other's gaps and weaved a dense fire net.
In this predicament with almost no hope of escape, the Seven Seas Traveler suddenly made a move that no one could have imagined. It climbed almost suddenly, jerked upwards, and squeezed out a way out of the fire net.
"What!?" Galas stared at the incredible maneuverability of the Seven Seas Traveler, as if it was petrified: "This is impossible!"
The horizontal-wing sails that turned in unison attracted the attention of everyone present as if they had magic power. The heavy sailboat was given an unconventional meaning at this moment, and it seemed to have come to life in everyone's eyes.
Buck felt that his heart was hit hard. The canoe in the cannon fire stopped just a millisecond, and then stood up - it seemed to be in an absolutely still world, with cannon fire on one side. The sky is continuous, and on one side is a quiet sea of clouds.
Standing near the abyss, keeping artillery fire at bay——
The bottle in Gallas's hand fell on the deck with a clang and rolled away, but he didn't notice it and only watched this scene absentmindedly:
"Did Sir Ma Wei leave all his sailors to his daughter!?"
It was as if an invisible hand plucked the strings above Kukai, playing a piece of nature that no one had ever heard before, and the Seven Seas Traveler sailing gracefully on the battlefield was undoubtedly located in the center of the stage.
In the command hall of the Red Queen, many people stood up at once and stared at the picture in stunned silence - how did the other party do it?
The ability of a sailboat to travel on the empty sea is due to the balance generated by the wind element within the hull, but this balance is not stable and must be maintained carefully.
This is precisely why the changeable airflow conditions above the sea, as well as cross winds and shear wind bands are so dangerous - but even in calm seas, the sailing attitude of a sailboat is strictly limited. When it rises and falls beyond At a certain angle, overturning may occur.
There are many examples in history of ships being destroyed and people killed because of this.
Of course, experienced sailors and captains know their own boats better. By balancing the proportion of wind element output in different parts of the hull and manipulating multiple sail surfaces, they can also achieve some incredible operations.
It just doesn’t include the current scene——
In full view of everyone, the Seven Seas Traveler stood almost completely, its deck forming a steep wall.
It also lost its horizontal speed and became stationary, but that was an illusion because it was still climbing upwards.
The captain of the Crimson Queen, who has nearly forty years of experience, is standing next to the lonely boat in the sea and watching this scene silently: "In fact, they still have not exceeded the limit of balance, but this does not mean that there is no risk in all this. If it were me, I would never let my sailors do that."
"Can you do it, Captain?" Canghai Guzhou turned around and asked.
"It's possible. If you give me and my sailors a little time, we can also achieve such an operation and be more confident. But they have no time to prepare under the fire. They are taking risks. I am absolutely The Red Queen will not be put in such danger."
The old captain shook his head.
Canghai Guzhou looked in that direction silently, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. They might not be able to stop each other.
On the Fearless, Buck quickly came to his senses. The other party's sudden climb was beyond everyone's expectations. He watched the Seven Seas Traveler pass through the intertwined fire net and enter a higher airspace. ——Almost parallel to them, and soon rising into the clouds.
But he would never give up so easily. He clenched his fist and realized that he still had one last chance. Buck turned back and shouted to his deputy: "We have one more chance to fire before the opponent enters the clouds."
"They lost speed and it was an opportunity for us."
As if he believed this, he waved his hand vigorously: "I order the Fearless to turn ten degrees."
"Ready, fire—"
The tilt of the deck of the Seven Seas Traveler almost caused everyone to fall down.
But Fang Plover grabbed the obstacles around him to prevent himself from sliding across the deck and falling into the air from the other side of the ship. At this moment, Miss Tata's voice came from her mind: "We have lost speed very much. We may not be able to escape the next round, Mr. Knight."
Fang Yu raised his head when he heard the words, and happened to see the flickering fire on the Fearless in the distance. The distance between the two sides was not far, and the artillery fire would arrive in a few seconds. Just as this thought flashed through my mind, the back of the Seven Seas Traveler suddenly shook violently. A shell hit the stern of the ship, and the wood chips and shock wave almost knocked people away.
Amid Ai Xiao's screams, he suddenly hit the side of the ship, but this saved his life. He finally came back to his senses, and stood up with difficulty holding on to the side of the ship. Just in time to see the Papalar rolling past him like a round barrel, he quickly grabbed the opponent's arm with his hand. The collar was lifted.
The latter also waved his hands and feet and shouted: "My collar caught something -"
Fang Yu then raised his head and found that his cousin and Sylvide had each grabbed a cable and stood firm. The former turned back to look at him, a little surprised: "Brother, you don't need help." What?"
Fang Yu was a little angry. Although he was not a front-line combatant, did he look that bad?
Sylvide spoke not far away: "Miss Tata," her voice was a little anxious: "Is the Seven Seas Traveler okay?"
"The structure was not damaged." The voice of the fairy lady came from the ship.
Baggins caught the fallen Ai Xiaoxiao on the other side and asked, "How far do we have to reach the cloud zone?"
But before Tata could answer the old sailor's question, Parker, who was holding Fang Plover's collar, pointed in that direction and screamed: "The clouds are just ahead!"
Amid the screams of the Papalars, the Seven Seas Traveler was rapidly rising. Its rising angle at this moment had exceeded the limit that ordinary sailboats could reach. The entire deck seemed to stand up, forming a huge slope.
In the eyes of everyone, the rising bow of the ship was pointing at the thick wall of cloud not far away.
"Mr. Knight, everyone, hold on tight."
Tata's quiet words are reaching everyone's ears through the communication crystal.
The erected cloud wall seemed to suddenly fall down, pressing down on everyone on the Seven Seas Traveler.
The Seven Seas Traveler was still rising, and several shells roared past the rear of the ship. That was the last time the Fearless and Furious fired. Fang Plover grabbed the side of the ship and looked back, just in time to see the clouds and mist surrounding him from all directions, gradually covering the rear view——
The Fearless and the Fury disappeared one by one, and the fleet of Jefflett's Redcoats in the distance was also swallowed up by the clouds. The 'window' was getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared.
Several ear-piercing screams came from behind, but the shells hit unknown directions and flew past the Seven Seas Traveler from the left and right, or up and down.
Buck almost watched the other party enter the clouds.
He stopped, and the Fearless suddenly slowed down.
In the crystal projection screen, the unshaven man was shaking his fist angrily and uttering some unpleasant curses. "Now we have to face the employer's cross-examination," the other party reminded him. "A whole hunting fleet can't keep the other party."
"They just escaped right under our noses."
Gallas waved his hands and said angrily.
But Buck didn't answer, he just felt a little frustrated. He also had ten years of experience as a captain, but he couldn't compare to a little girl?
On the Crimson Queen, Qiao Li turned around and said to Canghai Guzhou: "The wind element detector has lost traces of the other party. It seems that they must have escaped."
The latter nodded.
However, there was no surprise on either of their faces. To be honest, the 'Dragon Alchemist' who was able to escape from being surrounded by the two fleets was indeed as troublesome as the information said. But it's not worth making a fuss over this matter. If the other party is a genius of Loofah's level——
Then this is nothing.
"It's enough to find out the opponent's position," Canghai Guzhou replied: "Let's contact other fleets and share the opponent's movements with everyone. This night has just begun. According to the above, we still have You have to be careful about the power of the three goddesses disrupting the situation."
Qiao Li looked at him and nodded slightly.
…
Entering the clouds, the surroundings became completely quiet.
After confirming that the other party had not caught up, Fang Yu and others checked the damage to the Seven Seas Traveler. The situation was worse than expected. The shell that hit them passed through the stern of the ship, leaving behind left a huge hole.
That's where the wheelhouse was. Although they were lucky, the rudder and transmission mechanism were still intact, but the wind elements had escaped through the damaged hull. In short, they were losing speed and altitude.
Luo Yu urgently repaired the stern of the ship to prevent the wind element from escaping further and to ensure that they would not fall out of the height of the clouds. But maintenance is only a temporary measure anyway. What should be done next is still a huge problem for everyone.
"Although there is no damage to the structure, the situation is not optimistic. The Seven Seas Traveler can still maintain navigation, but it is best to find a place to stop for inspection." Luo Yu recorded his inspections in a notebook, and then went on to check them one by one. Tell everyone.
"Where are we going?" Ai Xiaoxiao asked. She was a little frightened by the previous battle. "Are we still going to Gray Tree Ridge? Box, Mr. Big Catman, and Miss Mei are all there?"
But can going to Gray Tree Ridge really solve the problem?
Luo Hao looked outside. Outside the side of the ship was the same scenery, just like the scenery after they escaped from Oronze at that time - sailing through the vast sea of clouds was not the first time for them.
However, today's situation is a little different from that time. The clouds over the northern border are not thick, and it is impossible for them to sail all the way into the sea from here.
Not to mention another one-day trip to Yuanhai just like last time.
They came to Altori to find evidence of the Crow's Claw Temple's collusion with the Shadow Man, but now the descendant of Flor completely ignored the fact that the three goddesses Marlan, Mirela and Amea were involved, and directly joined this group. In this 'war', to be honest, something was beyond their expectations.
And they found something, but they couldn't say it was conclusive evidence.
Now that they have returned to Gray Tree Ridge, can they face the offensive from the descendants of Flor?
People couldn't help but look at Fang Plover, hoping to wait for him to come up with an idea. Every time the Seven Seas Brigade encountered difficulties in the past, it was the young captain who decided the direction, and they did get out of trouble time and time again.
Fang Yu was silent. He was watching Miss Tata send information from the community. It was just a picture and a few short messages.
However, the person photographed in the picture should be the governor of Gula Port, and he did not know the person he was communicating with. But he had seen the crystal in the opponent's hand, or he couldn't say he had seen it before, but it was still somewhat similar to the scene he saw in the phantom.
The message is even simpler:
'Under the leadership of the followers of the Storm Lord, Gula Port will develop a new mythical barrier to prevent the shadow people from invading the city——'
'Perhaps the panic and uneasiness of the people in the north for the past six months will come to an end. '
He stared at the picture, then raised his head and said:
"Maybe we have to go to Gullah."
