Chapter 329 Counting the loot! Break the ice and move forward!
After the vampire side lost three sixth-level combatants.
The battle situation naturally fell into a one-sided situation.
Although the blood clan's warships are numerous in number, their artillery firepower is also quite fierce.
But for an unreasonable warship like the [Black Swan], numerical advantage is meaningless, and it is even difficult for artillery shells to hit it!
Coupled with the death of three of the strongest combatants, the morale of the Vampire Clan was already at an extremely low level.
During this period, Xia En also summoned the [Diamond Star] once, devastating two vampire warships.
So, it took less than ten minutes.
The blood clan warships that had been approaching menacingly before were completely demoralized and fled in all directions.
[Qingfeng] and [Hanyu] also joined the ranks of annihilating the defeated troops.
However, there are more than ten vampire warships after all, and it will take a lot of effort to make each warship incapacitated.
——Xia En can't deal with every ship and let the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] directly hit them with their hulls.
This attack method is easy to use, but it will also cause certain damage to the two ships and reduce their durability.
It's just not visible on the surface.
As a captain who loves Xiaoxing and Xiaohei, Shane will only do this when necessary.
Therefore, even though the speed of the [Black Swan] was far higher than that of its opponents, after successively incapacitating six or seven vampire warships, Xia En still lost the whereabouts of the other warships.
Counting carefully, there are about four or five warships that took advantage of the chaos to escape from this sea area, right?
But even so.
This record is already considered very terrifying.
In fact, except for Shane and the crew of the Black Swan, no one expected that this battle would end like this.
With the two frigates being of little use, the [Black Swan] faced off against more than a dozen warships headed by the [Dark Red Baron].
Not only did he kill three sixth-level Mystics including Richard, but he also sank several vampire warships including the [Dark Red Baron].
The captains who were still staying nearby were stunned by the results of this battle.
"[Black Swan]...actually won?"
"Obviously it's just a ship!"
Someone retorted: "No, didn't you see it just now? The ghost ship appeared again!"
"Could it be said that it and the [Black Swan] are actually one?"
"This is too exaggerated..."
After seeing the final result, the captains of some ships suddenly had special thoughts.
Not only did it not leave, but it approached the direction of the [Black Swan].
They came to [Lenglie Sea] to solve the crisis of the world-destroying flood and gain more merits.
And it is conceivable that there will be quite a lot of dangers along the way.
Right now, Xia En and his [Black Swan] are showing extremely strong strength.
These captains naturally wanted to hug this thick thigh to increase their chance of survival in the next operation.
No matter which world you are in, as long as you show awesome strength and ability, people will naturally take the initiative to fawn over and cling to you.
In fact, the person these captains had previously chosen to fawn over was Orlando, who was sitting on the Dauntless Storm.
And after witnessing this "incredible" naval battle, they silently left the "Dauntless Storm" and sailed towards the "Black Swan".
Seeing this scene, Orlando's face on the deck of the Fearless Storm was as gloomy as water.
But there was also a hint of deeply hidden fear in Orlando's eyes.
"Damn it! He actually survived?"
"That ship is so powerful..."
Orlando still has some self-awareness for the time being.
He knew that even he would only die when faced with the siege of the [Dark Red Baron] and numerous vampire warships.
——Otherwise, he would not have made any response when being bombarded and just left in despair.
But at this time, Xia En forced his way out of a desperate situation.
This ability is enough to make Orlando feel strongly fearful.
Moreover, Orlando also knew that he had offended the other party in the previous contact.
Thinking of this, a hint of evil flashed in Orlando's eyes, and a dark thought emerged in his mind.
After such a fierce battle, the [Black Swan] was not intact.
There were signs of breakage on the front collision angle, and the side of the ship was also hit by a stray bullet. It didn't look like it was in peak condition.
If he takes action now, maybe he can solve this problem once and for all?
However, Orlando quickly thought of the large ship that suddenly appeared and disappeared like a ghost, and a sense of fear emerged in his heart for no reason.
It was obvious that the ship was no illusion!
It is a real thing and has some close connection with [Black Swan].
[Dauntless Storm] is not even sure of dealing with [Black Swan].
If we add that ghost ship, is there really any chance of winning?
After some thought, Orlando gritted his teeth unwillingly, but he still could only grit his teeth unwillingly.
"Let's go!"
……
……
at the same time.
Xia En also gave up chasing other vampire warships and began to clean the battlefield and count the loot.
This battle can be said to be the first battle between the [Black Swan] and the [Diamond Star] after their transformation.
The strength and quantity of the enemy are worthy of this "first battle."
Correspondingly, the report of this battle is also quite rich.
Not to mention anything else, just the inventory in the space rings carried by the three sixth-level Vampires is a huge sum of money.
At this time, Jane came to the deck and casually placed Lilith's head in front of Xia En.
Lilith, who had only one head left, opened her eyes wide, filled with horror, as if she had seen some extremely terrifying scene before she died.
"Ms. Jane, thank you for your hard work."
Shane thanked Jane.
If Jane hadn't taken action, maybe the situation would have developed into what the vampires planned.
It can be said that Jane's arrival has made up for the lack of high-end combat power on the [Black Swan], so that Xia En will not be reduced to the point where he is unable to do anything.
"It's just a little effort."
Jian smiled lightly and did not take credit for this matter.
"And, since I am already a crew member of the [Black Swan], this is what I should do."
Her words made the other crew members feel good about her.
Originally, everyone didn't know much about this strange old woman, but after this battle, Jane's attitude undoubtedly showed that she would be everyone's companion.
Let people get closer naturally.
But when he heard this, Xia En couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
A little effort?
It's as if the sixth-level powerhouse is some kind of cabbage.
Despite the fact that it seemed very easy for Shane to crush the two of them, that was because his numerical value was far higher than the two of them, and he happened to have the power of the domain to restrain them.
Even in the end, in order to kill two people, Xia En had to use the [Secret Power of the Void] and [The Touch of the Deep] to suppress the situation. This shows how difficult it is to kill the sixth-level vampires.
But judging from Jane's performance, killing Lilith seemed to be just an ordinary and trivial matter.
Not much more important than "What's for dinner tonight?"
Xia En couldn't help but be curious.
In a real situation, how strong can Jane be in combat?
There are definitely more than six levels, so... what about the legend?
But right now, it is obviously not the time to delve into this issue.
There are also spoils and prisoners on several warships waiting for Xia En to deal with.
It didn't take long.
With the joint efforts of Xia En and the crew, they were able to squeeze out the remaining value of these vampire warships as much as possible.
First of all, Xia En himself did not intend to keep any of the vampire prisoners.
His original intention was to kill everyone without leaving any one behind.
But at this time, several nearby captains came forward and stated that they were willing to spend some gold dragon coins to accept these prisoners of war.
——Due to the characteristics of vampires being difficult to kill, they are often used in some particularly dangerous situations.
After thinking about it, Xia En agreed and only killed those higher-ranking vampires.
After all, this can be regarded as a kind of waste utilization.
As for whether these captains would fight back against the vampires, that wasn't something he should worry about.
As for the valuable materials and secret treasures on the vampire warship, most of them were looted by Xia En.
Of course, due to the limited number of people and time, Xia En's search was very hasty and rough, and he only searched a few high-value cabins.
Among them, it is worth mentioning.
From the wreckage of the "Dark Red Baron", Shane found a special statue that looked like a heart.
It was placed in the deepest part of the cabin. When it was discovered, there were several cracks on the surface, but it was still beating weakly.
Obviously, this is probably the core of the [Dark Red Baron] and the reason why this ship has extraordinary qualities.
For ordinary captains, this should be considered a rare secret treasure.
But for Xia En, who owns the two living ships [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star], it doesn't have much effect.
Shane planned to wait for it to heal on its own before considering whether to sell it.
In addition to the usual trophies, Shane also unexpectedly gained a group of slaves.
——Those are the survivors who serve as "blood food" on several vampire warships.
Some of them are crew members captured after being defeated by the vampires, and some are purchased slaves.
After being rescued, these survivors were generally thin, photophobic, extremely frightened, and had many traces of cuts and bleeding all over their bodies.
One can imagine the miserable treatment they encountered before.
Seeing these people, Xia En's little guilt for killing the vampires completely disappeared.
For this group of slaves, Xia En plans to select a group of qualified and good-hearted slaves and send them to the [Rhine Secret Realm] for the construction of [Rhine City].
The rest was given to the Daisy siblings and other captains.
Shane's decision was quite rational.
After all, although he is compassionate, he is not a philanthropist.
In future naval battles, he will definitely accept a large number of prisoners of war and slaves, and it is impossible to send all these people to the [Rhine Secret Realm] every time.
Otherwise, there would be chaos in [Rhine Secret Realm].
Trying to attract high-quality talents and controlling the proportion of slave population in [Rhineland] is the right path for the healthy development of [Rhine City].
After collecting the loot, Xia En took a rough inventory and couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue.
The profit from this naval battle was almost one-third of his transaction amount at [Liu Li Island].
No wonder it’s said that there is a gold belt for murder and arson!
Looting is always the fastest way to make money.
In fact, the most valuable spoils of this naval battle were actually the vampire warships.
Unfortunately, in the previous battle, in order to destroy their ability to move, Shane bombarded them a little too hard, causing several ships to inevitably sink.
on the other hand.
In an environment like the [Cold Sea], it was impossible for Xia En to take these ships to an island where they could be taken out.
So Xia En had no choice but to give them up.
After doing all this, Xia En no longer stayed where he was, but headed towards the sea further north.
As for those captains who tried to go with him, Xia En refused without mercy.
Very simple reason.
Since these people were previously unwilling to fight side by side with the [Black Swan], why should Xia En provide them with unconditional asylum?
Seeing this, Daisy and her brother were even more grateful that they had made the right choice before.
……
……
Soon, two days passed.
Everyone on the [Black Swan] could clearly feel that the surrounding air began to cool down significantly.
Not only that, the number of ice floes on the sea has also begun to increase.
When sailing into this sea area, you need to be careful of the icebergs hidden under the sea.
If they accidentally collided with each other, [Black Swan] would probably be fine, but [Qingfeng] and [Hanyu] would not be so lucky.
"Mr. Captain, why do you feel that [Cold Sea] is much colder than before?"
On the deck, Joey, who was wearing a white fox fur, his little face turned red from the cold, he breathed out a burst of white air, and couldn't help but say.
"The secret power in the nearby seawater is the same, it has become cold."
As a siren who has a certain amount of power over the Storm Goddess, Joey can sense the "atmosphere" or "emotion" of the sea just by being on the sea.
That's why she made such a judgment.
"Is it getting cold?"
Xia En calmed down for a moment and felt that Joey's judgment was correct.
Although they were accidentally teleported to the [Cold Sea] last time, they directly chose to head towards the warm south.
But at this time, the temperature in this sea area was already colder than the coldest area at that time.
Compared with the change of seasons.
Xia En is more willing to believe that this is because some unknown changes have occurred in the Far North and even in this [Cold Sea].
Fortunately, Xia En had already prepared for the extremely cold weather.
At this time, a large number of steam pipes had already been laid in the cabin of the Black Swan, behind the walls and ceiling.
Just like the heaters on Earth in previous lives, it provides heating for the entire ship.
However, it's still a bit cold standing on the deck with the sea breeze blowing.
In the past two days, Shane conducted a comprehensive inventory of the space rings of Richard and the others.
In addition to the Vampire's exclusive materials and secret techniques, Xia En also accidentally discovered a secret letter.
A secret letter related to the Far North.
