Chapter 147 [Black Swan] VS [Blood Duke]!


Chapter 147 [Black Swan] VS [Blood Duke]!

The sun sets.

In the setting sun, the sea level is gradually infected, showing an indifferent blood color.

Duke Nova stood on the platform of the high-rise cabin. Over three meters tall, fat and bloated, she was like a mountain of fat.

However, no one on the crew dared to cast a strange look at her because of her special appearance.

In the eyes of the sailors around him, there was only awe and... a deeply hidden fear.

Gazing at the [Black Swan] in the distance, a sinister smile appeared on Duke Nova's plump face.

“Little one, I’ve finally waited for you!”

These days, the [Blood Duke] and its fleet have been patrolling outside the foggy waters.

Like a seasoned hunter patiently waiting for the prey to appear.

With so many ships and the crews on them, even if they do nothing, the cost of living alone is a huge expense.

From this, we can also see Duke Nova’s determination to drive out the [Black Swan].

When the [Black Swan] sailed to the edge of the foggy sea area, she sensed the restlessness of the Forbidden Ship Eagle, and immediately ordered the fleet to gather in this direction.

This is how we can lock the position of the [Black Swan] so quickly.

Just now.

The butler Bruno on the side, holding a telescope, looked at the [Black Swan] on the sea, and said in surprise.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be something wrong! The [Black Swan] looks like..."

"Huh?"

Duke Nova frowned and picked up the same Look through the telescope.

In the field of vision, the [Black Swan], which was in tatters and almost shattered by artillery fire a few days ago, was suddenly brand new!

Larger hull, taller masts and funnels.

The deck and outer hull became dark, deep, solid and clean, with a metallic sheen.

Small silver lines are engraved on it, which not only gives it a mysterious temperament, but also adds a bit of unique beauty.

Moreover, just looking at the hull makes people feel a little uncomfortable instinctively.

It seems that while looking at the hull, the hull is also looking at me.

The thick, dark horn protruding from the bow of the ship also carries a lot of intimidation.

"Damn it! How did he repair the ship in a place like the foggy sea where no one shits?"

The first mate of the [Blood Duke] opened his eyes in shock: "Unexpectedly And remodeled the entire hull? "

Normally, just repairing a ship from a "battle-damaged" state requires the efforts of several shipwrights for more than ten days.

Now, [Black Swan] is not only completely "healed", but also seems to have undergone a brand new upgrade.

Considering the special environment of the foggy sea area, it is undoubtedly even more unbelievable.

"Oh, it's probably the effect of some special ancient relic."

Duke Nova's eyes were cold and deep, and his tone still contained strong confidence.

“But even if it is strengthened, it can never be the opponent of the [Blood Duke].”

“Today is destined to be the death of these little mice!”


Hearing this, the ominous premonition in the butler Bruno's heart became even stronger.

In the last siege, it was his persistence that made Duke Nova put aside the contempt in his heart and pursue the Black Swan with all his strength.

But even so, the [Black Swan] still seemed to be favored by the gods and escaped because of the ghost ship.

Now, seeing the brand new [Black Swan] again seems to have verified Bruno's worries.

It's back!

Moreover, it has become stronger!

At this moment, a sailor exclaimed.

"Look! That ship is coming!"

Duke Nova and others looked towards the sea, showing a little surprise.

Because, as the sailor says.

The brand new, bigger and stronger [Black Swan], instead of choosing to escape, began to accelerate under the bloody setting sun, rushing towards the fleet of [Blood Duke].

Judging from this picture alone, it looks like a sweet and plump sheep charging at a pack of wolves beyond its capabilities!

“Courage is commendable, but it is just accelerating the process of self-destruction.”

Duke Nova sneered: “Send someone to use the forbidden ship sculpture to impose a curse, and at the same time let the priests take action. Get up.”

“All frigates obeyed the order and surrounded the [Black Swan]”

"Today, we must catch everyone on that ship!"

Confidence is self-confidence, but this Duke is not a reckless person without brains.

The Black Swan's record of sinking several ships last time also left a deep impression on her.

So, after seeing that the opponent did not retreat but advanced instead, Duke Nova made the most correct choice at the first time.

As she issued the order, the evil and strange sacrificial ceremony was once again carried out deep in the cabin.

The priests of the Deep Sea Church began to bless the [Blood Duke].

Just quickly.

The first mate in charge of the sacrificial ceremony returned to the deck and reported in shock and confusion.

"Your Majesty the Duke, the forbidden ship sculpture... is broken!"

"What?"

Duke Nova's eyelids twitched, and he saw clearly what was in the box in the first mate's hand.

The ship sculpture that previously exuded a terrifying and strange aura has now turned into many fragments.

Although they are still squirming, like living flesh and blood.

But it cannot exert its previous effect.

Duke Nova frowned and asked: "What happened?"

The first mate quickly explained: "I don't know either."

"I had just started to offer sacrifices when I saw the ship sculpture began to tremble violently. As the blood flowed into its body, it began to fall apart, and finally became This is what happened.”

Duke Nova’s expression was uncertain.

This forbidden ship sculpture, like the [Scarlet Coat of Arms], is a gift from the Scarlet Lord. It is also a relic of a powerful vampire with quite extraordinary status.

Over the years, she has defeated her enemies with the help of the Forbidden Ship Sculpture several times.

But today, why did it suddenly break?

Although he didn't want to believe it, Duke Nova immediately thought of the cursed object of the ship sculpture - [Black Swan]!

"Did that ship obtain some relic in the foggy sea that could counteract the curse?"

While she was thinking.

The priest on the ship also trotted over in a hurry, his face full of panic.

"Captain, we can no longer listen to the teachings of the Storm Goddess."

Duke Nova's frown deepened.

She turned to look at the priests on the deck, and found that these believers of the Storm Goddess were looking anxiously at the statue of the goddess in the center, which was as tall as one person.

The statue of the Storm Goddess was as quiet and solemn as ever, but she did not respond to the calls of her believers.

The drooping eyelids under the veil seem to be indicating——

The goddess averted her gaze?

Or, this time, the Storm Goddess is not on their side?

"What on earth is this..."

"Damn, why did so many things happen today?"

"I have a bad feeling..."< br>


Seventy-eight percent of the sailors who make a living on the sea are followers of the Storm Goddess.

The sailors didn't feel much when the ship's sculpture shattered earlier, but the Storm Goddess's reaction caused a faint panic to spread on the ship.

At this moment, a hoarse and solemn voice suddenly sounded.

“Everyone, return to your positions.”

“So what if we don’t have the blessing of the goddess? We can still crush that boat!”

"Now, open fire on the enemy! Kill them all!"

Duke Nova looked around at the crew, his eyes like a fierce lioness, sharp and majestic.

She became the consul of Duke Island because of more than just her hobby of cultivating male favorites.

Rather...

Even though the Duke of Nova is so cruel, lustful, and has many shortcomings, he can still firmly hold the position of consul, which is enough to illustrate her strength and prestige.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

In an instant, all the sailors cheered up their morale, echoed loudly, and looked at them with ferocious eyes. [Black Swan] on the sea.

……

...

Because the ships on both sides are moving in opposite directions.

Therefore, the distance between the [Black Swan] and [Blood Duke] fleets is shortening at an extremely fast speed.

On the deck, Xia En looked at the escort ships coming from all directions, fighting spirit surging in his eyes.

He turned around and gave orders to the crew.

"Feiya, go to the turbine room and keep an eye on Xiaozhan. Today... let him have a good time!"

"An, Xiange, stay on the deck to deal with enemies who may board the board."
< br>Finally, Shane looked at Joey and said seriously: "Joy, your task is the most difficult this time... prepare to summon the storm!"

Joy hesitated and said: "I can't fully control it yet. The power to control the storm may affect the [Black Swan] itself."

"It's okay."

Xia En said: "What I want is to make this sea area chaotic. The more chaotic the better!"

In a situation where one is against many, this is undoubtedly the simplest and crudest way to avoid being besieged. method.

Joy felt the trust from the captain and nodded heavily: "I will do my best!"

When the crew members went to their posts and performed their duties. Shane heard a sharp whistling sound coming from high in the sky.

He looked up and saw several cannonballs from high up, carrying a powerful momentum, heading straight towards the location of the [Black Swan].

[The Blood Duke] and its escort ships fired!

The quality of the artillery on that ship is quite good, the range is relatively wide, and the hit rate and power are much better than the artillery of ordinary pirate ships.

——During the last battle, [Black Swan] had already realized this with its body.

Only this time, the situation is different.

Without the 10-point speed reduction of [Blood Sacrifice Curse], plus the growth of [Gluttony Monarch] during this period...

The speed of [Black Swan] has almost doubled from the last time they fought!

Xia En walked to the rudder of the ship, held the solid steering wheel, and thought to himself.

"Xiao Hei, let's go!"

[Oh oh oh oh! ! ! 】

Accompanied by a high-pitched whistle like the cry of a swan, driven by the surging power of the steam core, the [Black Swan] accelerated again and charged towards the rain of cannonballs falling from the sky.

It is hard to imagine that a ship can be described as "sensitive".

But at this time, the silhouette of the [Black Swan] is really like a vigorous cheetah.

Shuttle flexibly and elegantly between the bullets.

It seems to violate the basic laws of physics.

After the ship spirit level was upgraded to LV4, the compatibility between Xia En and Xiao Hei improved again, and their control over the entire ship reached a new level.

Right now, the [Black Swan] has almost become an extension of Xia En's body, and there is no sluggishness or sluggishness in its control.

Crash—

Huge water columns rose one after another from the sea.

The bombardment of each cannonball carried astonishing power, and those water columns caused the hull of the [Black Swan] to shake slightly.

However, not a single shell fell on the [Black Swan].

The first round of shots fired by the Blood Duke’s fleet all failed.

At this time, Xia En took out a mist core made of mist from the [Ring of Apocalypse] and used his secret power to activate it.

【The Mist of the Underworld! 】

Since we have said that we want to make this sea area as chaotic as possible, we must naturally use all available means.

The characteristics of this mist are very unique. It will not be washed away by storms and can even exist in sea water, so there is no need to worry about conflicting with the storm summoned by Joey.

Of course, Xia En did not forget to ask Xian Ge to cast a purifying spell on the crew to avoid being accidentally injured.

Gradually.

The dark red, ominous fog began to spread to the surrounding seas with the [Black Swan] as the center.

Such fog obstructs the sight of the gunners on the [Blood Duke] and the escort ships, causing their bombardment accuracy to drop again.

at the same time.

Many sailors also noticed...

The wind is picking up!

The sea breeze blew noisily across the deck, the thin clouds dyed blood-red by the setting sun gathered together, and the waves on the sea began to become restless.

It is as if there is an invisible big hand stirring the celestial phenomena in this sea area.

"Storm? This is the power of the Storm Goddess."

Duke Nova looked up at the changes in the clouds, and enlightenment arose in his heart.

"It seems that there is a storm priest of high rank on his ship, which prevents the priest on my ship from summoning the blessing of the storm."

In this situation, in In fact, it is not uncommon in naval battles.

After all, most ships will be equipped with storm priests. Both sides pray to the goddess, and it is impossible for the storm goddess to respond to both parties at the same time.

However, generally speaking, the Storm Goddess will choose not to take sides and treat her followers equally.

The current situation can only show that...

The Storm Priest on the [Black Swan] is far above my own Priest!

“But, so what?”

Duke Nova smiled: “After all, it’s just a trick. In the face of absolute strength, you can only be crushed and swept away.”
>


At this time, in addition to the [Blood Duke], there are five escort ships!

Six against one, the advantage is mine!

Not to mention, she, a third-level secret pather, is still in charge.

In fact, Duke Nova is already prepared. When the [Black Swan] approaches the [Blood Duke], she will lead her men to board the opponent's ship side as soon as possible to end this battle!

Boom!

Suddenly, a deep muffled sound came from the dark red mist.

Immediately, a captain’s exclamation sounded from the communication device in front of Duke Nova.

"[Fang] has been hit! [Fang] has been hit!"

Following that, muffled sounds sounded one after another.

The escort ship, which had been enveloped in the fog, fell into a panic.

"Ahem...this mist is poisonous! Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth soaked in water!"

"We can't lock the enemy's position! The ship's firing is almost silent!"

"Why do I feel that its firepower is getting stronger and stronger?"

In the chaotic communication, a captain suddenly burst out with a high-pitched shout.

“This is Captain Kirby of the Fang, I saw it, it’s right here with me!”

Duke Nova decisively ordered: "I will pull the ship over immediately, Kerby, no matter what method you use, stop it for one minute!"

"Stop the [Black Swan]...me?"< br>
On the deck of [Fang], Kebi was stunned.

In just a few minutes, several craters were left on the deck of his ship, and the wooden blocks were torn apart. Many sailors died directly from the bombardment of the shells, and many fine cracks appeared on both sides of the ship. .

The situation is quite miserable.

The firepower of the [Black Swan] was extremely fierce, and it was silent when launched, like a killer hiding in the fog.

Moreover, I don’t know if it’s Kebi’s illusion.

He even felt that the purpose of those cannonballs was not to destroy the ship, but to kill people!

Otherwise, how could each one of them hit the sailors on the deck so accurately?

The previous destruction of the four escort ships also made Kirby extremely fearful of the [Black Swan].

Although the bounty given by the Duke is good, it must be taken with a life!

Just as he was filled with fear, Kebi suddenly heard a clear whistle and turned his head in the direction of the sound.

The next moment, his pupils suddenly narrowed.

I saw that on the increasingly rough sea, surrounded by thick dark red fog...

[Black Swan] was crossing like a black ghost, the majestic ship The first wave broke through the waves ahead, stirring up a series of snow-white foam and ripples on both sides of the hull,

The thick ramming horn was slightly raised, and the dark and deep hull squirmed and changed.

In an instant, it seemed to have turned into a swollen and deformed piece of meat, like it had turned into a dead and strange mud, and it seemed like it had turned into a deep sea monster covered with tentacles!

But no matter what kind of existence it was, it gave Kebi an unprecedented fear in his heart, bringing his mind gradually to the edge of collapse.

"Monster!"

"The ship itself...is a monster!"

Kebi roared desperately, trying to vent the information he saw and the fear in his heart.

"It's hitting! It's hitting-"

Boom! ! !

Amid the huge crash, the voice in the communication device stopped abruptly.

Not to mention the other escort ship captains who were watching, even the Duke of Nova was secretly frightened by the fear in Kebi's tone.

What kind of terrifying situation would make a man who has been on the battlefield for a long time become so scared?

It takes less than a minute.

[Blood Duke] arrived at the location where [Fang] was just now.

Here, they only saw two broken pieces of shipwreck that continued to sink into the sea.

It can be seen that the [Fang] suffered an extremely violent impact and was broken straight from the waist. Seawater poured into the cabin, causing it to sink.

Just this one impact completely destroyed it.

"This..."

Bruno looked a little dull.

He had never seen such a barbaric and rough way of naval warfare.

Normally speaking, shouldn't it be a long-range bombardment first, and then boarding the ship for a boarding battle?

How could any captain directly use ships as weapons and destroy other ships by ramming them?

According to common sense, when two ships collide, the attacking ship itself will also be damaged by the recoil force.

Boom! Boom!

Before Bruno could figure this out, the sounds of cannonballs hitting the ship were heard one after another.

"[Fire Lion] encountered shelling! Requesting support!"

Duke Nova's face was as gloomy as water.

She guessed the purpose of the [Black Swan].

The other party wants to use this special mist to destroy the escort ships one by one and extract her minions.

The speed of the [Blood Duke] cannot catch up with the [Black Swan], so it will naturally be kited and exhausted.

Since active pursuit is ineffective, we simply use the stupidest method and wait for the rabbit.

Thinking of this, Duke Nova ordered: "All escort ships, gather around the [Blood Duke]!"

"The duration of this fog must be limited."

"Wait until the fog When it dissipates, it’s time for us to fight back!”

It must be said that Duke Nova has indeed rich experience in naval battles and quickly adjusted the distribution structure of the fleet.

As long as a ship is attacked, the [Blood Duke] in the center can react immediately.

However, what Duke Nova didn't know was.

At this moment, a dark figure has dived under the sea...
