Embers of Embers

Chapter 557 Battle of the Silent Sea
When Highbould rushed onto the deck, the storm was already close at hand. It was like a city wall rising from the ground. Its shadow completely enveloped the Dawn Advance, and the sea currents and winds all tilted towards it, like a funnel between heaven and earth. , ready to devour everything.
The bright skyline rises at the other end of the sea, and on the dark side shines the stars and the remnants of the aurora. The cold water rises with the roar of the wind, and they sprinkle down like drizzle. There was a cold chill on Haibold's face.
This was an extremely shocking scene, just like the heavens moving around. All of this was deeply engraved in Heibald's mind, making it difficult for him to forget these scenes in his life.
"We're already in a myth."
He muttered to himself.
The Dawn Advance sailed into the divine realm and touched upon the stories that had been forgotten. Things beyond mortal cognition were happening, and Highbold was lucky enough to witness it.
The vibration hit again, and the bumps made Hebold regain his frightened mind. He saw the hull began to tilt, and all the fixed artillery were facing the direction of the storm.
"Lorenzo! What's going on?"
Haybold faced the figure on the deck. He was shrouded in darkness, but the flames rising in his eyes were so bright.
"The final test has come, Highbould."
Lorenzo tightened his grip on the folding knife, and the bag behind him was filled with nail swords. He watched the storm warily, as it was approaching the Morning Glory Advance.
"Ten years ago, Shrike failed here. The boiling Sea of ​​Silence destroyed the Narwhal. He and Floki could only escape here in a long boat."
Everything that happened now was just as the Shrike told it.
The restless sea, the emerging storm, the channel across the night sky, and...
"The python of the world."
Lorenzo said softly.
His words were like a narrated mantra, which melted into the wind and was brought to Nightmare's ears. As a result, strange waves arose around the storm, as if something was wriggling beneath the surface of the sea.
Haybold's mortal eyesight may not have been able to observe this, but in Lorenzo's eyes, it was so clear.
He could see the huge scales that reflected the starlight, could hear the gasping amidst the sound of wind and waves, and could sense the huge erosion, which was disgusting and crazy.
Heavy footsteps sounded, as if a giant was approaching.
Heibald grabbed the cable on the side to steady himself in the violent bumps. A shadow enveloped him, and then he saw the approaching giant.
"Black...Black Angel?"
The thunder flickered, and the jagged armor in the flash stood behind Haibold. He recognized this forbidden weapon and knew its name. The sharp iron feathers were as smooth as a mirror. Under the influence of rain, Haibold could See your own face reflected in it.
Looking up slowly, white flames were constantly overflowing from the gaps under the visor.
"You're dominating it, aren't you? Lorenzo."
Haybold asked uncertainly. Only Lorenzo could control this armor, and now he was standing next to him.
All along, Haybold felt that Lorenzo was hiding something from him. Not only was he hiding something from him, Lorenzo had some secrets that even the purification agency didn't know about, such as remotely controlling the Black Angel, which echoed in his mind. the sound of……
There are simply too many weird things about Lorenzo, some of which cannot be explained by the fact that he is a witcher.
For a long time, Hebold didn't think about this carefully. It was probably because of the friendship he forged in Maruri. Hebold felt that he should trust Lorenzo, even if he was hiding something that no one knew. strength.
But now, they have stepped into the myth and become part of this epic.
Is the Sea of ​​Silence the realm of gods or the real hell? Is Lorenzo a false god or a real devil?
Hebold didn't know, and he couldn't tell the difference. Corrosion and shock were affecting him together. Even a brave warrior like him couldn't hold his weapon tightly at this moment.
"Don't be afraid, Highbould."
Lorenzo's voice sounded, and Hibold looked over, only to be met with a pair of burning eyes.
The fire in his eyes burned to the extreme, like dazzling daylight, and the secret blood in his body was also boiling, causing the temperature of his body surface to become hot. The rain falling on his body was evaporated in an instant, and fine details could be seen. White air rose over his body.
Lorenzo wanted to smile at Hibold, but controlling the Black Angel brought great pressure to him, and his smile was a little distorted, which made Hibold feel psychologically uncomfortable.
Originally, Lorenzo would not risk activating the power Gabriel like this, but the current extremely dangerous situation does not allow him to think too much.
The feeling of controlling the Black Angel is not very good. Lorenzo can feel the demon flesh and blood wrapped around the metal frame, and can understand their thirst for blood and pain.
Crazy and disorderly murmurs filled my ears, never ending.
"Believe me, Heibald, if you feel that you are unable to make rational judgments in the face of unknown fear, then believe me and bet everything on me." Lorenzo said.
Haybold's chest rose and fell violently. He looked at Lorenzo and felt the breath coming from the armor behind him.
"This is what Shrike asked me to pass on to you. He was attacked by a demon in the cabin and almost died. He will probably not be able to participate in the rest of the journey."
Handing out the silver revolver, Haybold told himself to stop thinking about those messy things.
Thinking too much will only make people suffer. Heibald is a warrior. He only needs to obey orders and then kill the enemy. Let others worry about the other things.
"Is that so? The situation is really not good."
Lorenzo took the knell, heavy and loaded with bullets.
Shrike is not powerful as an individual, but he is one of the few people who can control the original sin armor. If Shrike falls, then the weapons division will be unmanned. The third generation armor he carried before was also severely damaged in the naval battle. Lan Jade was also injured as a result, making it difficult to participate in the next battle.
It seems that all the pressure is falling on Lorenzo's head, and this is just the beginning. He doesn't know whether he can survive this storm, or even whether there are some unknown dangers after this storm. Woolen cloth?
Lorenzo thought like this, raised his pocket knife and pointed it at the storm.
"It's coming, prepare to fight."
Haybold looked at the rolling sea, where thunderballs were rolling in the black storm.
"Fighting the storm?" Haybold thought Lorenzo was crazy.
"No, didn't you see? Aren't there two armored ships approaching?"
Lorenzo looked intently under the storm. In the rough waves, the sea snake was nowhere to be found, but Lorenzo could see a familiar iron-clad ship speeding away from the storm, with a large dark ship following behind it.
"You, the epidemic doctor, are so unlucky!"
Lorenzo couldn't help but smile, but his smile was a little bitter. They were fleeing here.
That was the Blood Shark, a member of the epidemic medical fleet, but now it was the only one left in sight, and the fate of the other iron-clad ships was self-evident.
[Get ready to fire. 】
Lorenzo's voice sounded in people's minds. There was no need to hide it at this time. Since the communication was eroded and interrupted, Lorenzo used himself as the hub of communication to convey orders to everyone.
Some people listened to Lorenzo's voice, while others wailed and told Lorenzo to get out of his head. They responded in all kinds of strange ways. In an instant, Lorenzo felt that his head was about to explode.
This reminded him of Lawrence. Was it the same when Lawrence created his "legion"?
The Blood Shark advanced all the way. As it approached, the big ship and the storm behind it also approached. When they completely appeared within the sight of the Morning Glory Advance, Lorenzo also carefully observed the ship for the first time. Weird big ship.
"Fortunately, Shrike isn't here. I really don't know how he would react when he sees this."
As his vision became clearer, Lorenzo's expression darkened.
There was thunder across the sky above the storm, and the pale light illuminated the unmanned ship and the logo on it.
"Narwhal..."
Haybold said softly, the big ship that only existed in Shrike's memories was now sailing out of his memories and heading towards them.
【Fire! 】
The sound rang in everyone's ears. The fixed artillery fired, weaving into a dense barrage, piercing the splashing wind and waves. Heavy fire splashed on the Narwhal, and the rusty steel shattered. It appeared It was so fragile and could be easily injured, but even so, the Narwhal still stood firm amidst the raging waves.
The Blood Shark turned the ship around. Under the command of the epidemic doctor, the Blood Shark stopped escaping and started to fight back against the Narwhal.
The cannon roared. Although the epidemic doctor was greedy, he was not stupid. As long as they were still in the Silent Sea, they could not escape these weird pursuits. From the beginning, he had only one way left.
Destroy them.
"Fire! Fire!"
Zeo yelled. He had stood up from the wheelchair, but he was still covered with the covering cloth.
Gusts of wind blew open the fabric slightly, revealing bloody ankles and bent legs. But Zeo seemed unaware of this. He directed the crew of the Blood Shark towards the Hornwhale. open fire.
He was also the leader of the Black Tusk Pirates, and naval battles were all too familiar to Zeo.
Zeo looked at the big ship under the storm, gritted his teeth with excitement, suppressed his fear, and faced these weirdnesses head-on.
"This will be my achievement in entering the Hall of Valor!"
He shouted, watching the heavy fire hit the Narwhal.
The epidemic doctor was standing not far away. His clothes were no different from usual, but this time, he had an extra safe in his hand. The epidemic doctor held on to the heavy iron box.
He may not care about anything, but the things in this box are crucial to the epidemic doctor, and they are second only to the truth.
"What kind of achievement is this..."
The epidemic doctor said to himself, he is different from Zeou who is dominated by faith, he is very clear about what he is facing and what is hidden under this sea.
He could feel that every inch of the doctor's nerves were warning him, and his muscles were tense and as hard as stone.
Under the boiling sea, there is something far more terrifying than the storm and the ship. It is the real enemy, and now it is lurking silently, waiting for the moment to attack.
"What do you know, epidemic doctor? If you don't tell me now, we may all die here."
In the howling wind, a strange voice suddenly penetrated his ears. The doctor turned around suddenly, only to see a soldier standing beside him. He looked ahead, looking at the Narwhal under the storm.
"Mr. Holmes? The way you appear is really unpleasant."
The epidemic doctor said slowly. He glanced at the direction of the Chenhui Advancing, and there was still a long distance between the two ships. He didn't expect Lorenzo's [Gap] shuttle to cover such a large area.
"Stop talking nonsense, Epidemic Doctor, this is better than having it appear directly in your mind."
Lorenzo threatened coldly. He almost invaded the "gap" of the epidemic doctor in Lengbing Bay. If the epidemic doctor was not needed now, Lorenzo was really prepared to completely eliminate the enemy of the epidemic doctor here.
Hearing what Lorenzo said, the Plague Doctor was very sensible. Under the threat of Power Gabriel, in a one-on-one situation, the Plague Doctor had nothing to do against Lorenzo, and he might even be invaded by him [Gap] .
There is still severe pain in the back of his mind, which was the wound left by Lorenzo when he was in Lingbing Bay.
Lorenzo tore the plague doctor's consciousness apart.
"What's under the sea?"
The epidemic doctor asked, "No more nonsense is needed. In this fatal situation, the two of them can only put aside their old and new grudges and resolve the immediate danger first."
There is no other way but to form an alliance.
"A snake, a huge sea snake."
Lorenzo replied that he was not surprised that the plague doctor could feel the presence of the sea snake.
"Sounds like fun."
"Yes, it is bigger than you think. The iron-clad ship under its feet is like a toy to it," Lorenzo said, pointing to the Narwhal. "Did you see those wounds? They were all left by it. Down."
"Does this kind of creature really exist? According to you, its bones will break in an instant due to its huge weight. The body will accumulate heat seriously, and its core temperature will be hundreds of degrees. From the moment it exists, it will begin to die."
The epidemic doctor couldn't believe it. He had dissected countless corpses. He thought he knew everything about living things. The creatures Lorenzo described could not exist at all.
"But the reality is here, it is real, and maybe you can poke your head out and say hello to us later."
Lorenzo's eyes wandered on the sea surface. Based on the changes in erosion intensity, he could vaguely perceive the position of the sea snake. It was wandering under the sea as if it was picking its prey.
"Besides, did I say it was a living thing?"
Lorenzo's words made the epidemic doctor tremble uncontrollably. He looked into the soldier's eyes, which were filled with white flames.
"We are always like this. After seeing an unknown thing, we look for words within our own cognition that can be understood and put it on the head of the unknown.
It was never a living thing, it just happened to have the appearance of a sea serpent. "
Lorenzo extended an invitation to the epidemic doctor.
"Are you interested in dissecting the 'god'? Epidemic Doctor."
