"Eric, my bounty has increased to one billion!" Yamato burst into the office excitedly and left the door of the office wide open.
"...!" Eric trembled all over, his face turned red, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Yamato asked curiously: "Eric, what's wrong with you?"
"Ahem...no, it's nothing." Although Eric tried to straighten his expression, he had little success.
"Eh? Hiyori, what are you doing hiding behind the table?"
"The document fell on the floor just now, so I picked it up." Hiyori explained softly, covering her mouth with her slender white hand, and showed Yamato the paper in the other hand, her throat moving up and down secretly.
"Oh." The naive Yamato believed it.
"The bounty is over one billion. Isn't it normal based on your strength?" Eric raised his butt and leaned out.
"That's right...but I'm just happy!" As he spoke, Yamato's nose twitched and he asked doubtfully: "What is this smell?"
"..." Hiyori picked up the coffee on the desk and drank it in one gulp.
Yamato pointed at the corner of his mouth with his finger and said, "Hiyori, there is something white at the corner of your mouth..."
"Oh..." Hiyori rolled her tongue and pursed her lips: "This is the foam on the surface of the coffee."
Yamato doesn't care if the coffee has white foam.
"Yamato, you won't have the chance to increase the bounty in the next period of time." Eric took the initiative to change the subject.
"Eh?" Yamato was a little disappointed, but then he was relieved: "It's okay. This means that nothing major will happen in the near future, and the civilians in the new world can live and work in peace and contentment."
"Oh?" Eric was stunned. Yamato saw the essence of things so accurately, so he still didn't understand...
Eric wanted to mention Yamato and ask him seriously: Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid?
"However, there is a place where you can show your talents."
"where?"
"Western Sea."
"Oh..." Yamato nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Did Artoria's attack in the West Sea not go well?"
"No, she is unstoppable in the West Sea. However, their manpower is limited. I plan to send a few more people to help them."
"Okay!" Yamato agreed, and she turned around and left with satisfaction after getting the latest mission.
When the office door closed again, Eric put on his belt that was wide open.
"No more?" Hiyori curled up like an orange cat and lay on Eric's lap.
"More, but I need work." Eric brushed his hand over Rihe's head.
Everything is developing for the better.
…
"Dang Dang Dang"
The scout in the watchtower sounded the alarm.
"Boss, the Port Mafia's fleet has been discovered!"
"Get ready to fight immediately!" Lao Cai ordered seasonedly.
"Can you win?" He Lisa, who is already married, asked.
"...Work hard with all your strength." Lao Cai replied in a deep voice, and then his voice spread throughout the fleet: "We will win this battle!"
"Oh——!" The Babao Navy, the Erbao Navy, other several naval forces and the armies of several other countries formed a coalition to fight against the rising port mafia.
The Port Mafia has secretly occupied several countries and has become an undisclosed secret in the West China Sea. Naturally, other countries did not dare to underestimate this aggressive armed organization. With the deliberate connection of the Babao Navy and the Erbao Navy, a joint force was quickly formed. The enemy's camp.
On the sea in the distance, hundreds of warships of different shapes seemed to appear out of thin air, speeding in from the east and west directions, surrounding the fleet led by Arturia. Three of them were surrounded and one was missing, which could effectively dispel the opponent's will to fight to the death. .
Within a few dozen minutes, Artoria's side completely fell into the ambush set by Lao Cai.
"Lao Cai, great job!" He Lisa winked at Lao Cai.
"It's all thanks to everyone." The loss of his grandfather and the previous tragic failure seemed to make Lao Cai lose his spirit, but he became more sophisticated and tolerant, like a tiger lurking in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to kill with one strike:
"This is still the first step. The leaders of the Dawn Pirates... are not ordinary people."
Lao Cai saw at a glance the disguises of several members of the port mafia. A Jin was the culprit who killed Qingjiao himself, but he pressed the button of hatred and targeted Artoria, the leader of the three. As long as he killed The Black Knight King, the Dawn Pirates' undefeated myth will be shattered, and it will be much easier to eliminate the other two guys.
The man in charge of the investigation came back and reported: "Report, the enemy in front of us is flying the flags of the Babao Navy, the Erbao Navy, and the Kingdom of Flowers!"
"Oh." Artoria replied lightly and stood up from her seat. With just such a simple movement, Artoria, who was wearing pitch black armor, seemed to become much taller.
"Crush them." Artoria ordered calmly, ignoring hundreds of warships.
"yes!"
The combined fleets of various countries moved from far to near. Arturia's men quickly prepared for battle, adjusted the height of the cannon muzzle for pre-firing, and adjusted the angle. The cannonballs exploded into waves on the undulating sea.
When the eyes of both sides see each other waiting for each other:
"fire--!"
The two sides, who had the same range, attacked almost at the same time.
On Artoria's side, there were two or three rows above and below. Red flames flashed from the bow to the stern one after another. The entire warship shook violently, giving people a sense of time's frustration. Then, it filled the air. White smoke obscured half of the ship.
Under the command of Arturia, the fleet seemed to be one with arms and legs, and dozens of warships seemed to be piloted by one person.
"call out--"
The black, as fine as a needle tip, quickly enlarged in the field of vision, carrying a sharp whistling sound. Thousands of artillery shells formed a dense barrage, flying towards the oncoming enemy.
The shell exploded the moment it hit the bow, mast, shipside, and deck. The fierce fire and thick smoke engulfed every sailor who had no time to dodge.
And because the coalition forces were heading towards Artoria, the number of artillery deployed on the bow of the ship was far less than that of Artoria's side, so the number of shells fired was limited, and the casualties caused were far less than the losses on their own side.
Lao Cai clenched his fists: "Did this guy step into the trap on purpose?"
He Lisa comforted: "It's okay, we have the advantage!"
"..." Lao Cai didn't speak, his mind was spinning rapidly: 'Do you want to form a battle line and shoot at the enemy? But when turning the ship's bow, the enemy's artillery can fire three or four rounds. Our warships do not have the same defensive power as naval warships...'
"Rush up, hit the other side with the bow of the boat, and start a gang fight!" After thinking for two or three seconds, Lao Cai quickly made a decision.
"This..." He Lisa didn't understand what Lao Cai meant.
"We set up a cone-shaped attack formation, and most of the people hit by the shells were the bow." Lao Cai explained very quickly: "Even if the bow of the ship is completely destroyed by the shells, the parts below the waterline will be blown out." There are a few holes, but our warship will not sink."
"Watertight cabin!" He Lisa understood immediately.
"That's right!" Lao Cai said solemnly: "It doesn't matter even if the bow part is completely discarded!"
Lao Cai's military order spread throughout the army, and soldiers who had experienced naval battles also knew that they all hid in the back half of the ship to avoid oncoming cannonballs.
But the speed of the fleet did not slow down, and it rushed over menacingly with the aura of sharing the same fate and fighting to the death.
"Oh~" Artoria, who was aware of the enemy's tactics, raised her eyebrows and applauded: "You are a qualified general who can make choices and responses so quickly."
"Boom boom boom!"
The shells continued to explode on the hull, and the warships on the Babao Navy's side became beyond recognition, but they refused to sink.
Flames licked the broken boards, and thick smoke rose into the sky, obscuring the scene behind.
The main masts of several ships were blown off, but with the kinetic energy in front, the sailboats that lost half of their power still moved forward, sharing the firepower with their comrades.
"Keep shooting."
Enemy ships are dense and numerous. You only need to aim at a specific sea area, and the muzzle-loading cannon with a low hit rate will almost never miss a shot. There is no need to aim at a single target, so the firing speed and hit rate of the artillery are greatly increased.
After three more rounds of volleys, the Babao Navy warship sailing in the front was already in disarray. The soldiers of the Babao Navy could even see the facial expressions of the gunners on the opposite side with their naked eyes.
Originally unable to fight back after being beaten and with low morale, the Babao navy seemed to see the hope of winning by engaging in close-in battle and relying on the crew of the ship. For a time, it was full of force and its desire to attack increased unprecedentedly. After experiencing four rounds of artillery and suffering huge casualties of thousands of people, I wanted to kill them all in one go.
Arturia calmly watched the enemy ships rushing towards her side and ordered the artillery to reload shotguns.
The enemy just wants to make a last stand. As long as the opponent's energy is released, the enemy's morale...
"Haha——" Artoria raised the Sword of Victory, hoping to single-handedly break down the enemy's psychological defenses.
The sky seemed to darken, but when they looked up, there were no dark clouds in the sky.
Deck, sea surface, air...
Particles of pitch-black photons emerged from everything around him, and these photons formed unsettling streams of black light, converging in the direction of Artoria.
"No...!" Lao Cai clearly felt Artoria's rising momentum and raised his long-handled sword: "I'll stop her!"
Before he finished speaking, he stepped on the moon steps, jumped up from the fleet, and rushed towards Artoria quickly.
"Hmph, can you block it?" Artoria said in a proud tone. Darkness that even the sun couldn't penetrate surrounded her body, making her already terrifying aura even higher. The nearby subordinates began to I feel scared in my heart!
"The Secret of the Eight-Chong Fist: Cone Dragon Cone Nail!"
Bachong Fist, a secret boxing technique passed down from generation to generation by the leaders of the Babao Navy. After several years of hard training, Lao Cai can finally split the jade ice bed with his heel!
Although all the treasures inside were taken away by Eric...
He stretched his legs flat and made a posture, concentrating all his strength on his heels.
The darkness that swallowed the light had already condensed on Artoria's holy sword. Within a few breaths, it seemed to have condensed into a black hole that could swallow the light above the sea and under the blue sky.
Artoria opened her eyes, and a large number of dark particles lingering around her gathered on the sword blade at this moment, and the magic flames ignited on the holy sword suddenly surged:
"Excalibur!"
The name of the Holy Sword of Liberation penetrated into everyone's ears, and the black magic flames struck at Lao Cai and the fleet behind him. Nothing could stop him!
Five-foot sword blade, thousands of feet of light!
The deep blue sea waves are all dyed jet black.
This beam of light, as dark as night and as wide as a river, attracted everyone's attention in an instant, and even stopped the battlefield in the middle of a fierce battle.
The great river formed by the darkness that devoured the light surged across, filling the entire space with endless darkness and heat.
The roaring Dark River swallowed up Lao Cai in an instant, and then the light cannon continued to blast towards the fleet.
Endless darkness split open the sea in front of it, running over the fleet that could not dodge. The hull hit by the extremely black light was instantly reduced to ashes.
"boom!"
The jet-black beam of light shot straight into the sky and lasted forever, allowing everyone to see it clearly.
Tens of thousands of soldiers opened their mouths to the limit, completely stunned and fell into a sluggish state.
It wasn't until the light dissipated that the cut sea surface slowed down a beat and slowly gathered back together.
But where the fleet led by Lao Cai and Lisa He once stood, there seemed to be nothing.
There were only some broken wooden boards and canvas floating on the sea there, proving that some objects did exist here.
"She... destroyed the entire pirate fleet with one strike?"
"God, what did I see..."
The soldiers on the Babao Navy side murmured to themselves and wiped their eyes hard.
"Hurry, run away!" After being stunned for several seconds, after witnessing the unstoppable miracle, the morale of the soldiers on the Babao Navy dropped to the bottom, and they just wanted to escape from the battlefield.
The ruthless Arturia ordered: "Don't let anyone escape."
"...Yes!" The subordinates who accepted Artoria's military order knelt on one knee to accept the order.
"It's easier for enemies to gather together." Arturia's gaze flew through the battlefield filled with shells and flew in an unknown direction.
…
"Let, let me go...!" Caesar, whose hands were handcuffed by sea tower stones, cried bitterly. He will be escorted back to the Kingdom of China and put on trial in front of a live broadcast around the world.
"Shut up, you scumbag!"
The guard banged his weapon on the guardrail and told him to shut up.
The soldiers guarding the cage had heard about what Caesar had done. If it weren't for the military orders, they would have wanted to strangle him with their own hands.
"You actually experimented on children!"
"This, this is all what BigMom ordered me to do!" Caesar tried to quibble.
"If I don't listen to BigMom, I will be brutally killed by her!"
"..." The guard didn't say anything. He didn't know if he would do something crazy if he was threatened with death, but...Caesar did it!
"Let's leave these words to the judge."
"Bang!" The guard banged the cage hard, making a loud noise: "If you talk too much, I'll make you look good!"
Caesar glanced at the electric baton in the guard's hand, and understood that a good man should not suffer the consequences of his immediate losses. He kept silent and cursed in his heart:
'If it weren't for the Hailou Stone that restricted my abilities, would a little guy like you be worthy of talking to me? '
I don't know how long it took, but after Caesar ate a few meals and slept a few times, he suddenly felt less shaky.
"Bang!" The cabin door was opened, and dazzling sunlight shone down. Caesar quickly raised his hand to block the sunlight, squinted his eyes, and looked at the dark figure.
"We're in China, take Caesar out."
"Yes." Several guards opened the door of the cell where Caesar was imprisoned and dragged him out.
"Easy, gentle...!" Caesar repeatedly begged for mercy, but the guard didn't care at all and had a tough attitude. He picked up Caesar's arms and threw him into a torture car.
Under the crowd of passers-by on the road, Caesar's heart felt cold.
'It's over...! '
Some people died, but not completely...
