Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

The fleet with one ship missing continued to move south, and in another day, the Aishan Islands would arrive.

The nearly ten-day trip has come to an end. What is the current situation in the Aishan Islands and what happened in Yanan City will soon be revealed in front of Ye He.

In fact, if the fleet departed not from Gavaria, but from the port city in the southern part of the empire, the time of this trip could be reduced by about half.

Deliberately taking a long way around consumes more time, which may contain more and more complicated considerations of Yekaterina, but this is none of Ye He's business, he just needs to follow the plan.

His almost blind obedience to his employer's plans is also one of the reasons why he can successfully cooperate with the empire.

Before arriving at the mission location, it doesn't matter what mode of transportation is used for Ye He.

This kind of life on the boat, which is like taking a female companion on vacation, is a good relaxing experience for him. It is also interspersed with sea disasters and commissions from Poseidon. He is not bored.

But Greif couldn't be as relaxed as he was.

Having just finished solving the problem between Zheng Yumei and Miu Shark in the morning, Ye He left the cabin at noon and was going to take his female companions to play on the back deck.

Grave, who seemed to have been standing at the door of Ye He's room, blocked his way. When Ye He opened the door, Grave immediately said to Ye He:

"There is something... I think you should pay attention to it, sir."

Ye He saw the worry in Grave's eyes. At this juncture, there were not many things that the old captain could still worry about.

So he turned around and waved to his female companions:
"You go first, Captain Greif and I need to talk."

The three ladies in coats nodded to Ye He, and then went out from the door of the room one by one to the back deck.

When passing by Grave, Fiona took a few more glances at the old captain who might be her own grandfather.

But Grave didn't look sideways, didn't look at her at all, and looked like he wasn't going to say anything to Fiona.

Fortunately, Fiona had no feelings for this family relationship, so she was not hurt by her grandfather's neglect.

As soon as the ladies left, Yehe motioned for Grave to come into his room.

Grave stepped into the room and closed the door. He subconsciously glanced at the empty mattress.

Ye He's room was very big, but it was just a cabin on the ship. The space was limited, so he could see everything at a glance.

Where is Zheng Yumei?

Greve, who didn't see anyone, was a little curious.

"Your colonel is in the bathroom."

Ye He saw that Grave was subconsciously looking for Zheng Yumei, so he answered him in advance:
"She is not quite conscious yet, but she should be able to fully recover before arriving at the Aishan Islands."

He skipped answering the question "Why is Zheng Yumei in the bathroom?" Since Graves didn't come to him for her anyway.

"What you want to remind me isn't about the Federation Navy, is it?"

Discovering that Ye He was aware of this serious problem, Grave's expression softened a lot.

He nodded to Ye He: "Yes, the people from the Federation have never shown up. This is very inappropriate. I suspect that they have arrived at the Aishan Islands ahead of time."

Although the fleet still has a full day and night to travel from the Eshan Islands, the fleet has indeed passed the area most vulnerable to obstruction and interception by the federal navy.

Until now, the federal navy has still not shown up, or even made no movement at all.

A powerful man like Ye He could still maintain a calm expression, but Grave, who had dealt with the federal navy too much, could not relax.

Excluding the best-case scenario that they encountered a sea disaster and were wiped out, Greif was more willing to believe that these guys had arrived at the Eshan Islands in advance and were already waiting for his fleet.

These guesses were told to him by Grave's intuition. As an old captain who had been traversing the Endless Sea for decades, sometimes Grave had to trust his intuition.

"Who do you think the federation will send and how many ships do you think they will use to deal with us?"

Ye He asked Grave to sit down. The other party was also a country, and it was a country whose national power was slightly greater than that of the empire, and even Yekaterina took it seriously.

He would not ignore the great power of a country. Of course, the sky is high on the sea and the emperor is far away, and it is impossible for the Federation to devote all its national power to deal with its own fleet.

However, it is still necessary to get some information from Grave.

“The Federation has a total of three naval fleets, each fleet has at least twelve ironclad ships and is commanded by a Federation Navy Admiral.

Among the three admirals, the most troublesome one is Retilda, who is known as the "Sea Eagle" in the southeast sea area.

If nothing else happens, we will face her and her fleet. "

"she?"

Ye He was stunned for a moment by the female title. Are they so awesome in the Federation? There are actually female admirals?

Grave knew what Ye He was surprised about when he saw Ye He's expression. He smiled bitterly at Ye He and said seriously:
"Yes, the Federation advocates "openness" and does not care about "sea rules." These three generals have climbed up in the past ten years, and they are all women!
Sir, please do not underestimate them. I have fought against two of them... I can only use experience to maintain the balance. "

Speaking of this, Grave's face was a little confused. The empire's industrialization level has never been able to keep up with the pace of the Federation. This "backwardness" is reflected in all aspects, especially the military.

The ships on the Federation side are larger and sturdier than those on the Empire. The cannons on the ships have a longer range and are more powerful. They also have many annoying gadgets that are very difficult to deal with.

"I heard His Highness talk about Ishtar. With the importance the Federation attaches to the ruins of the Eshan Islands, we will at least have to face the "Sea Eagle". It is possible that the "Sea Crocodile" and "Sea Witch" will also bring them A boat or two came over.

Our fleet only has two ironclad ships. I guess they discovered the great power you used to deal with those pirate ships, so they didn't rashly surround us, but they won't give us too much free time. "

"...Understood, let me handle these guys. They probably won't show up before they arrive at the Aishan Islands. We won't know until we get there in the end."

Ye He nodded seriously to Grave, saying that he would take this information seriously.

Then he took out some Glocks equipped with bullets with divine power points from the silver ripples, and piled them on the ground.

"I will lend these weapons to you and your crew for self-defense. Krent will teach you how to use them. The bullets inside have been blessed by the goddess and have a very powerful effect on dispelling the power of monsters."

Grave looked at these pistols with joy. He must have understood how magical and powerful Ye He's weapons were. He did not expect that Ye He would actually be willing to lend these weapons to arm them.

"These are things to save your lives. I believe you won't be stupid enough to dismantle them. Remember to tell your crew about this.

Also, let them try using these weapons first no matter what "abnormal" things they see during the next journey. The bullets blessed by the goddess will not hurt humans, so there is no need to worry about accidental injury. "

Ye He's explanation made Grave nodded in agreement to him very seriously, and then went to find someone to distribute the pistol, and asked Krent to learn how to use it.

In fact, Yehe did not arm Greve's crew to deal with the federal navy. He was mainly used to living on this ship.

He loaned out these weapons in order to prevent a sea disaster like the Executor from ruining his stay like it had ruined Zheng Yumei's ship.

This dedication soon gave Ye He a surprise, because at dusk that day, a layer of black mist suddenly appeared on the sea.

The increasingly heavy black fog quickly caused the fleet to lose most of its vision, and the fleet had to slow down a bit. Everyone was on guard to see if anything terrible would appear in this unusual black fog.

The familiar black fog made Ye He realize that the evil-minded Executor was back again, but Caesar had not yet discovered any trace of the ghost ship.

In retaliation for the black fog interrupting his dinner, Yehe asked Greif to use lights to contact other ships in the fleet so that they would not be frightened by the Cleaners who would explode in the sky soon.

But before Ye He took action, the crew member responsible for delivering the light signal suddenly ran back in panic and said something in Grave's ear, causing Grave's expression to suddenly change.

"The other ships didn't reply? Or is there any abnormal information in the reply signal?"

Ye He, who was standing next to Grave, asked curiously.

"No, we received four "received" signals!" Greif, who was ashen-faced, looked around. The black fog rose too fast. He was not sure where the other ships in the fleet had moved. .

Four?

There are a total of five ships in the fleet, one of which was sunk by Ye He just in the morning. Now the Extraordinary Lady should only receive three reply signals. How could it receive four?
The Executor sneaked in? So you have the guts?
Ye He raised his hand without thinking, and a Cleaner that had been carried high into the sky by Camelot was immediately triggered.

A huge fireball appeared in the sky, illuminating a large area of ​​​​the sea. At the same time, the scorching waves quickly dispersed the black fog.

Grave followed Ye He's example and put his hands on his forehead to quickly check the surrounding ships.

The two cargo ships, no doubt... the ironclad ship that he took over after Wally's death, no doubt... Zheng Yumei's "Vortex"... is also there? !

The Whirlpool, which was destroyed by Ye He in front of him, and the remaining wreckage of the ship had sunk, actually reappeared, seemingly unscathed? !

This strange scene made Greif's face turn pale. He was not afraid of real opponents or enemies, but no sailor was afraid of these extraordinary things.

The fireball in the sky had not yet extinguished, and Greif saw at a glance many Zheng Yumei's crew members standing on the deck of the Whirlpool.

These crew members who were supposed to be killed in the explosion along with the Whirlpool, and whose bodies sank into the sea to feed the fish, actually appeared unscathed like the Whirlpool!
The firelight reflected shadows on their faces, illuminating their cold eyes and the big white teeth exposed in their grinning mouths, making them look so scary and terrifying.

phantom? Or something else?
Ye He, who also saw the ship and its crew, frowned. He opened his moonlight vision and took a look. These crew members and the entire Whirlpool were completely dark.

"It's an illusion of monster power!"

He immediately told his fellow shipmates what he had discovered, and then waved his hand, and a missile filled with divine power points immediately flew out from the silver ripples unfolding beside him.

The Whirlpool had also turned its bow and rushed towards the Extraordinary Lady, but the speed of the missile was not comparable to that of the slow ironclad ship. In the blink of an eye, the missile had already hit the bow of the Whirlpool.

"boom!!!"

The missile filled with divine power points exploded into large swaths of white holy flames, and the entire Vortex and the crew on it were quickly burned in this white light.

After a while, the sea surface returned to its empty appearance, as if the Whirlpool had never appeared.

"Honey?"

Floy suddenly walked out of the cabin. She came to Ye He and said, "There seems to be something wrong with Miss Zheng. Do you want to come and see her?"

"Ok?"

Ye He raised his eyebrows. Just after blowing up her ship for the second time, this woman who was slowly recovering had problems again?
No, counting the time it took for Floyd to notice the problem and come out to inform him, Zheng Yumei should have experienced something abnormal when the Whirlpool reappeared.

"Leave it to you here."

After confessing to Grave, Ye He followed Floy back to his room in the cabin.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Let me out! My ship...I want to get back to my ship! Ah!!!"

Zheng Yumei, who was locked in the bathroom, was banging the bathroom door frantically and screaming miserably.

Wei Nuo and Fiona, who were sitting by the bed, were frowning at the noisy bathroom, seeming a little impatient with Zheng Yumei's madness.

Ye He glanced at them, comforted them with his eyes, and then stepped forward and opened the bathroom door.

Zheng Yumei, whose hands were red from clapping, rushed out immediately and bumped into Ye He's arms, still refusing to let go.

Her eyes were bloodshot and red, and the expression on her face was twisted ferociously. She was blocked by Ye He and tried to reach out to attack Ye He.

"Please wake up."

After all, there was a romantic relationship that was not too "dewy", and Zheng Yumei had an oriental face, which made Ye He worry a little about his fellow countrymen, so Ye He stretched out his hand and pressed it on Zheng Yumei's head.

A white glimmer lit up on Ye He's hand, and some divine power points were injected into Zheng Yumei's head by Ye He, quickly dispelling the power of some monsters that appeared inexplicably in her brain.

When Zheng Yumei was captured in the morning, Ye He also treated her in the same way.

However, the influence of Misty Shark is not entirely the power of monsters. The healing effect of divine power points is not obvious. It only restores part of Zheng Yumei's sanity.

But at this moment, Zheng Yumei was affected almost entirely by the power of monsters, so the dispelling effect of divine power points was very significant, which quickly calmed her expression.

"Ye He? I...I just?"

The rational eyes returned to Zheng Yumei's eyes. She looked at Ye He a little exhausted, with a confused look on her face, and at the same time, she gradually remembered the memory of when she was "crazy".

Zheng Yumei, who was leaning in Ye He's arms, suddenly gritted her teeth and left Ye He's arms.

She knew she shouldn't drag Ye He with her now, because...

"who are you!!!"

"what is this?"

Suddenly, the crew's exclamations came from outside. The reappearance of the Whirlpool was indeed just a "lead", and tonight had just begun!

"Be careful, there is a woman... She suddenly appeared in my mind, smiled at me, and then I was confused! She may still be on this ship!"

Seeing that Ye He was about to run out like a firefighter again, Zheng Yumei quickly clearly stated the information she wanted to convey to Ye He.

Ye He's eyes lit up, he nodded to Zheng Yumei, and then glanced at Floy.

Floy immediately understood what Ye He meant, and she stepped forward to support Zheng Yumei, who was still a little unsteady on her feet. Floy also admired this oriental-faced woman who was rational and independent of Ye He.

"I will take good care of Miss Zheng, you go ahead and do your work first!"

"Ah."

Ye He closed the door after leaving the room. From the door of the room where he was, the sound of fighting could be heard from the deck and below the cabin, as if a large number of enemies had sneaked into the Extraordinary Lady.

Caesar transmitted the situation on the deck and below the cabin to Ye He's eyes. The surveillance footage it recorded was very strange. The crew of the Extraordinary Lady seemed to be fighting with the air.

Ye He, who fully opened Yue Hui's vision, discovered that at some point, the entire Extraordinary Lady had been surrounded by a faint layer of monster power.

The power of these monsters is like a thin layer of "black mist", and the eyes of the crew members who are fighting have the most black mist!
Obviously, this is a large-scale illusion-type monster power ability that affects so many crew members at the same time.

"Everyone!"

Ye He used Caesar to spread his voice throughout the ship:

"Immediately attack your own head with the pistol I gave you. You have been affected by the illusion. The bullets blessed by divine power will restore your normal vision!"

The eyes of Grave and Krent on the deck lit up, and they immediately took out their guns and pointed them at their heads. Then they pulled the trigger without hesitation and shot themselves!
The other crew members also followed suit. They endured the attacks from the "Vortex Crew" in front of them and took the time to give themselves a bullet.

The sound of "bang bang bang" gunshots was heard endlessly, and then the whole world became pure.

The divine bullets hit the faces of ordinary crew members and only caused slight pain. However, after the burst of divine flames flashed away, the power of the monsters was dispersed, and they could no longer see those phantoms, and they were not wasted in useless battles. energy.

Ye He, who was stepping on Camelot, quickly flew out of the cabin and rushed to the other three ships. These ships were also shrouded in the black mist of the monster's power, and the crew members on them also had hallucinations.

Ye He, holding the white ivory and ebony wood in his hand, fired his bow left and right, and fired a bullet into one person's head to dispel the phantom for them. After half an hour, he finally took all the living crew members out of the phantom.

living? Yes, there were casualties in the fleet. Those crew members who were pierced by the sword of "Illusion" thought they were dead, but they were really dead!
