Chapter 25: The Storm Is Coming

The sky has only cleared up for a day.

The next day, there were dark clouds again, and it looked like it was going to rain again.

Sauron stood on the mast of the Dead Whisperer, watching the turbulent sea in front of him. On the side of the ghost ship was a huge black shadow, which was undulating in the waves at the moment, and he could only see a phantom. He silently stared ahead, as if waiting for something. Sauron had always been a very patient person, so he waited very calmly, only looking up at the sky occasionally.

Rumble!

A thunderbolt streaked across the sky.

Accompanied by the sound of rumbling thunder, drops of rain fell, at first it was just light rain but it soon turned into a torrential rain.

"Deep-sea diving!"

A smile finally appeared on the corner of Sauron's mouth, but it was very cold and cruel. He waved his hand lightly, and the ghosts of the undead on the deck moved quickly. Amidst the strange whispers of the ghost sea monster, the dead whisperer The number began to descend, and the whole ship gradually sank to the bottom of the sea. The surrounding sea water rushed towards the deck, Sauron lightly jumped onto the rudder position, and then let the sea water rushing in from all directions completely submerge him. The sea water poured into the hull, and Sauron's hair scattered with the sea water. When the Dead Whisperer finally sank to the bottom of the sea, he looked up at the sky. Amazing lightning.

Rumble!

A violent storm shrouded the sea area, and thunder after another streaked across the sky. It seemed that the storm had just stopped temporarily and had just begun.

The sea is rough, but the bottom of the sea is quite calm.

The dark deep sea could not obstruct Sauron's sight. The Death Whisperer was submerged hundreds of meters below the seabed. He was calculating the enemy's position, and he had already collected a lot of information before setting off.

With his current reputation as the pirate king on the south coast, the Thieves Guild would rather offend the southern island nation than him.

"Up 300 meters!"

Sauron looked around. A reef appeared in front of him, and there were some schools of fish in the sea, but because of the death energy, they were almost unwilling to approach the Death Whisperer. Mutated killer whales are escorting all around. Although the north coast is not as dangerous as the south coast, there are also some deep-sea monsters. And these deep-sea monsters don't seem to pay much attention to the blessing of the sea goddess. There is no way around this. There are other people in this world whose gods are related to the ocean domain. For example, the gods believed by the Vrykul are related to the ocean domain from the pirate domain.

The vrykul worship a primal god.

It should also be the only god with the "Pirate Priesthood", but one of his priesthoods is "Vrykul's Pirate God", and basically few other pirates believe in him.

This priesthood was born because vrykul are pirates by nature, living by plundering other merchant ships.

"Ascent 100 meters!"

Sauron stared at the surrounding environment. At the same time, he was observing the movement on the sea surface. After rising to a height where he could vaguely see the sea surface, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Summon the mist!"

"Undead undead scuttled their warships!"

In the dark water.

A group of undead undead with hideous faces appeared, and they were slowly upstream with tools for digging boats. Gradually approaching the sea surface.

………………

Rumble!

A thunder streaked across the sky, and the wind and waves made the ship shake.

"Damn it!"

A middle-aged man in navy attire cursed, then grabbed a corner of the hull, and shouted: "Everyone, work harder! I'll buy you a drink when I get back to the port!..."

"This damn weather."

"I said earlier that the storm would not end so quickly. There is no need to send us out to patrol when there is no fleet going out to sea in this kind of weather."

A wave hit.

The hull of the battleship shook. The sea water washed up on the deck, causing a navy sailor to stand unsteadily and hit the barrel, but he was not seriously injured, only frowning and trembling in pain.

"Where's the Nanhai?"

The middle-aged man looked around. He didn't know when the fog appeared around him, and he couldn't help cursing again: "What the hell weather! You can still dance in a storm!"

"Come on."

"Light up the torches, and don't get separated from the escorting fleet."

Very weird weather.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for fog to appear in such a storm, so the middle-aged officer who has been drifting at sea all year round found something wrong, and shouted: "Everyone, be alert! This fog is weird! Maybe we What kind of sea monster did you encounter!"

"Ah!!!" As soon as he finished speaking, a navy sailor yelled in fright.

Hearing his voice, the others were all frightened, and the middle-aged officer immediately shouted: "What's the name of the ghost? What did you see?"

boom!

The hull of the ship shook suddenly, and many people on the deck fell down because they couldn't stand still. There was also a sailor who almost fell out of the ship into the sea with a stroke, but fortunately his ankle was entangled by a cable.

"Black... black shadow!..."

The sailor who yelled at the beginning said with horror on his face: "What a big black shadow!...bigger than the ship!...in!...under the water!...can't see what it is!...but under the sea There's something!..."

The middle-aged officer's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and his expression became a little frightened, and he murmured, "Isn't it luck that I encountered a sea monster?"

Rumble!

The ship shook again.

Now everyone can see that there is indeed a huge black shadow wandering in the mist, and the ship shakes because of being hit by it.

"No!...It's not good!..."

Another exclamation sounded, and a soaked navy sailor ran out, shouting: "The cabin!...The cabin is flooded with water!..."

Rumble!

The ship shook again, and a sailor was thrown into the sea with a scream. He only had time to let out a wailing cry before disappearing into the rolling waves.

hum!

Rumble!

The storm seemed to be getting bigger, and the battleship was still rocking in the waves, and the waves raised made it look like a small boat that might flip and sink at any time.

Click!

The sound of the keel breaking came from the hull, and then the battleship shook violently, and finally turned over directly in a huge wave, and sank to the bottom of the sea bit by bit.

on the sea.

Incomparably sharp bone spurs emerged, huge black shadows wandered in the sea water, and the blurred shadow of a dark warship in the sea water could be vaguely seen.

"Help!……"

"Help!……"

"Who can help me!……"

The sinking warship did not kill these navy sailors immediately. In fact, many of them were low-level professionals. Their tenacious vitality allowed them to swim up after sinking into the sea. The black lacquered cables and the dark lacquered hull of the seabed became more and more clear. The sailors who fell into the sea were tightly entangled with each cable, and then dragged to deeper sea areas. Faintly, there appeared some humanoid monsters with seaweed-like growths on their bodies, and they rushed over with ferocious smiles, mercilessly slaughtering the fish that slipped through the net.

………………

Keel Island.

This is an island occupied by Vrykul pirates. It is said that a giant dragon was buried here, so it is called Keel Island.

The area of ​​the island is not very large, probably not as big as Viper Island, but it has a semi-natural port, which is blocked from the howling sea wind because of a steep mountain wall. There is a lighthouse built on this island, basically any port city will have an iconic lighthouse, which can guide the sailing ships. Even lighthouses in some places can guide ships to avoid reefs, which greatly improves the safety of the fleet at night.

"Why haven't they come back yet?"

Above the lighthouse, a young man dressed as a nobleman frowned and stared into the distance, and said in a deep voice, "According to the time, they should have returned long ago."

Rumble.

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.

Lightning illuminates the distant sea, and the waves on the sea can be seen getting bigger and bigger.

"His Royal Highness Prince."

Behind the young man was an old man with a white beard. He was wearing a delicate robe and said in a deep voice, "I haven't come back in this situation. I'm afraid they are in some trouble!"

Prince Hans's expression suddenly became ugly when he heard the words, and he said with a livid face: "A standard patrol fleet, one large battleship, and three escort warships. Even if you encounter trouble, how can it be impossible for none of them to come back? Could it be that Arendelle's fleet attacked them?"

"wrong!"

"The last time we joined forces with the Vrykul pirates to severely damage Arendelle's navy, I'm afraid they don't even have the ability to go to sea now."

This was a battle he was extremely proud of.

First let the Vikul pirates attract the attention of Arendelle's navy, making them think that only pirates came out to plunder, and then swaggeringly mobilized the fleet to deal with these Vikul pirates. But what they didn't expect was that they also encountered the main navy of the southern island country near Keel Island, that is, the fleet led by Prince Hans.

Needless to say the result of the battle, facing nearly double the number of enemies, Arendelle's navy was almost wiped out.

Arendelle was so severely damaged that it was basically difficult to gather the fleet to go to sea again.

near the port.

With the wave after wave, a broken deck gradually floated to the edge of the port, and the nearby defenders seemed to have discovered it, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

There were more pieces of wood nearby, and the waves washed them nearby.

Rumble!

Another bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.

Under the dark clouds, the waves on the sea are even more astonishing. In the deep night, there seems to be a terrifying monster silently watching the island, waiting to devour everything on it at any time.
