We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

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.

Staring 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 sea area.

Like a seasoned hunter waiting patiently for his 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.

And just when the [Black Swan] drove to the edge of the foggy sea area, she sensed the restlessness of the forbidden ship eagle, so she immediately ordered the fleet to gather in this direction.

Only in this way can the position of the [Black Swan] be locked 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 Excellency, there seems to be something wrong! The appearance of [Black Swan]..."

"Um?"

Duke Nova frowned and also picked up the telescope and looked at it.

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!

Bigger 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 instinctively feel uncomfortable.

It was as if while he was looking at the hull of the ship, the hull was also looking at him.

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 astonishment: "You actually remodeled the entire hull?"

Normally, just to repair a ship from a "battle-damaged" state would require the efforts of several shipwrights for more than ten days.

But 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.

"Huh, 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 will never be a match for the [Blood Duke]."

"Today is destined to be the death day for these little mice!"

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

During 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.

But 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! The ship is coming!"

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

Because, as the sailors say.

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 fat sheep charging at a pack of wolves beyond its capabilities!

"Courage is commendable, but it only accelerates 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."

"All frigates obeyed the order and surrounded the [Black Swan] with their horns."

"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.

Therefore, after seeing that the opponent did not retreat but advanced, 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 weird 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 boat sculpture begin to tremble violently. The moment the blood flowed into its body, it began to fall apart, and finally it became like this."

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 a rather extraordinary personality.

Over the years, she has defeated her enemies several times with the help of the forbidden ship sculpture.

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 can 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 hear 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 the believers.

The drooped eyelids under the veil seemed to indicate——

The goddess averted her gaze?

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

"What on earth is this..."

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

"I have a bad feeling..."

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 was broken before, 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 seats."

"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 members, his eyes like a fierce lioness, fierce and majestic.

She was able to become the governor of Duke Island because of more than just her hobby of cultivating male favorites.

Rather...

Even though Duke Nova is so cruel, lustful, and has many shortcomings, she 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 and responded loudly, looking at the Black Swan on the sea with ferocious eyes.

…

…

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.

"Fei Ya, go to the turbine room and watch Xiao Zhan. Today... let him have a good time!"

"An, Xiange, stay on the deck to deal with enemies who may board the ship."

Finally, Shane looked at Joey and said seriously: "Joy, your task is the most difficult this time... prepare to summon a storm!"

Joey hesitated and said: "I can't fully control the power of the storm now, and it may affect the [Black Swan] itself."

"fine."

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.

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

When all the crew members go to their posts and perform their duties.

Shane heard a sharp whistling sound coming from high in the sky.

He looked up and saw, high up, several cannonballs 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 experienced this with his body.

Only this time, things are different.

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

The speed of the [Black Swan] was almost twice that of the last battle!

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 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 really looked like a vigorous cheetah.

Flexibly and elegantly shuttle between the bullets.

It's like violating 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.

At the moment, 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 fog of the underworld! 】

Since we have said that we want to make this sea area as chaotic as possible, we naturally have to 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 mist began to spread to the surrounding seas with the [Black Swan] as the center.

Such fog obstructed 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...

got windy!

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

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

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

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

"It seems that there is a storm priest of high rank on his ship. This is why the priest on my ship cannot summon the blessing of the storm."

This situation is actually 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 mean...

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 little 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 side of the ship 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] is hit! [Fang] is hit!"

Immediately afterwards, there were muffled sounds one after another.

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

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

"We couldn't pinpoint the enemy's position! The ship's firing was 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 Kerby of the Fang. I saw it, and it's right here with me!"

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

"Stop [Black Swan]...me?"

On the deck of the Fang, Kirby was stunned.

In just a few minutes, several craters were left on the deck of his ship, and the wooden pieces 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 can be described as 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 is 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 his heart 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 sea where the wind and waves were gradually rising, there was a thick dark red fog...

The [Black Swan] came across like a black ghost. The majestic bow broke through the waves in front, 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 flesh, 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 coming! It's coming--"

boom! ! !

Amidst 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 only takes less than a minute.

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

Here, they only saw two broken pieces of the 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 brutal and violent way of naval warfare.

Normally, shouldn't we launch a long-range bombardment first, and then board the ship for a boarding battle?

How could a captain directly use a ship as a weapon to 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] is under shelling! Requesting support!"

Duke Nova's face was as gloomy as water.

She guessed the purpose of the [Black Swan].

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

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

Since active pursuit is ineffective, just use the stupidest method and just wait and see.

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

"The duration of this fog is certainly limited."

"When the fog dissipates, it's time for us to fight back!"

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

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

However, what Duke Nova didn't know was.

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