Sail Shadows in the Sea of ​​Fog

Chapter 106 Rampage
At the edge of the Sea of ​​Despair, an arc-shaped wall of fog rushed towards the sea fog summoned by the Honest Man with the force of a tidal wave.

Unfortunately, the people on the Honest Man did not have the ability to see through the sea fog like the Magic Mirror or the Silver Queen, so they had no idea that the Valkyrie had returned.

"Sailors! We have destroyed three ships from the opposite side, but there are also problems with our rudder, the cabin is leaking badly, and three masts are broken."

On the deck of the Honest Man, the deaf Captain Kerwick raised his scimitar and shouted in a loud voice, "Before we use the bottle the fleet captain left us, we have one last chance! A chance to launch a boarding battle!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" All the sailors on the Honest Man shouted, waving various weapons.

"Obey my orders!"

Kervik shouted, "Tinisha! Prelude to Love! Lure them over here! Belvik! Be ready to lead the entire ship in a boarding battle!"

"Yes!"

On the Honest Man, all the crew members, including Yun Ji and Princess Bakla, responded to the order in unison.

A moment later, the Tinissa Band began to play the love prelude, and the other sailors were performing emergency repairs on the Honest Man while preparing for a boarding battle.

At the same time, the Valkyrie, propelled by its transparent sails and dragonfly fins, was rushing towards the nearest pirate ship at an astonishing speed.

"Crash into it!"

Cheng Lang gave the order, "Smash that boat!"

"Oh!"

The goblins responded to the captain's orders in unison, carefully manipulating the nearly transparent sails.

These reborn vine goblins have not changed much in general, but each of them has a wine jar firmly fixed with the Wanghai vine on their waist. From time to time, they will even pick up the wine jar and bring it to their lips to take a sip.

With the cooperation of these drunkards, the Silver Queen at the helm also distracted herself by manipulating the dragonfly fins to swing more and more vigorously, and rushed straight towards the pirate ship that was already shrouded in thick fog.

"Don't we need to fire?" asked the magic mirror.

"Need not"

Cheng Lang had already whipped himself and tied himself to the mizzen mast as he spoke. "Ram into her in the middle! I want to see how sturdy the Valkyrie is now!"

"Prepare for the collision!"

The Silver Queen's scream resounded throughout the ship, and immediately afterwards, the Valkyrie's sea rhino ram pierced the waterline of the pirate ship before it could react!
This was just the beginning. Before the severely damaged ship could react, nine pairs of rapidly swinging dragonfly fins, together with the sails, provided huge propulsion while also wantonly cutting the hull of the pirate ship!

"Wow!"

The three-masted sailing ship, flying the coat of arms of the Principality of Murphyta and the pirate flag, broke into two at the sound of screams. The surviving half-blood and even siren sailors on the ship stared blankly at their once lively companions being cut into almost transparent sashimi by those slender, pearly-looking fish fins.

He stared blankly at the flashing black sailboat that split their ship in two and then disappeared into the thick fog.

"Ghost ship! It's a ghost ship!"

The first mate of the ship screamed and stabbed the captain in the back with the scimitar in his hand. Then he pulled off the belt full of his wealth from the captain's waist and jumped into the sea without thinking.

"Loss Status"

On the Valkyrie, Cheng Lang asked loudly.

"The tremor shattered 14 mirrors and got two oak barrels filled with beans!"

"I'm talking about the damage to the Valkyrie!" Cheng Lang shouted.

"That's all!" the magic mirror shouted back, "Our ship is very strong! And very fast!"

"Pick up the speed!"

Cheng Lang felt more confident. "The second ship! Smash the second ship! No, just smash its rudder! Gun deck! Chain shells ready! Attack the mast!"

"Oh!" The goblins all over the ship responded loudly.

Driven by the sea breeze and the dragonfly's fins, the Valkyrie increased its speed again and rushed straight towards the second ship.

Perhaps because the incident with the first ship just happened suddenly, the second ship seemed to be unaware of what had just happened. They were still drifting in the thick fog, looking for the hidden Honest Man.

"Boom!"

With a sudden muffled sound, the sea rhino's ramming horn easily pierced the rudder at the rear of the pirate ship from the side, and used the momentum to push the pirate ship to one side, making the ramming horn like a threaded crowbar, opening a big hole in the rear of the ship.

"boom--!"

Amidst the dense artillery fire that almost formed a line, pairs of chain shells hit the enemy's masts, decks, and even the gun ports on the gun deck at close range.

I have to admit that even though it encountered a sudden attack, the quality of this pirate ship is indeed good. They even organized a counterattack at close range at the first time.

However, the next scene made the ship's eyes widen. Those solid shells hit the ship so close, but they couldn't even make a bullet hole!

"La la la——"

With a harsh friction sound, the Valkyrie roughly squeezed out the disabled ship and continued to rush towards the third pirate ship in the thick fog.

"Captain," the Silver Queen said, lifting her skirt and saluting, "where are we going to hit this time?"

"Stern rudder!"

Cheng Lang said, "We'll hit them from behind, Great Sage! Wukong! Get ready to board!"

"Oh!"

Amidst a new round of responses, the gorillas all took off the wine jars from their waists, brought them to their mouths and took a sip, then each picked up a variety of weapons.

Soon, the Valkyrie, which had an absolute advantage in speed, caught up with the third ship in the thick fog.

"over there!"

The sailors on this ship had obviously learned of the fate of the other two ships through some means, so almost the moment the Valkyrie, which deliberately did not hide its hull, appeared, it was discovered by a sailor and a timely warning was issued.

But so what?

"Boom!"

With another dull crash that seemed to pierce through the heart of the ship, the Valkyrie was firmly "embedded" into the stern of the pirate ship.

"Thumbs up!"

At the bow of the Valkyrie, a gorilla was diligently waving the rapid-fire cannon to fire the first round of suppressive fire.

At the same time, another dozen long-armed gorillas threw lit barrels of gunpowder over.

Even Wuying, who was ordered not to leave the stern deck and not to participate in the battle, secretly used all his strength to throw out a bridle, entangled the main mast of the ship, and threw the anchor hook at the other end into the sea. Just like before, he took advantage of the inattention of the captains of the two warring parties to help the enemy passively drop anchor.

"Hmph! Let's see where you can escape!" The little Princess Wuying snorted complacently with her hands on her hips.

After easily dealing with the third enemy ship, Cheng Lang commanded the Valkyrie to break away from the battle and rush towards the fourth ship, while immediately summoning the giant jellyfish to cover the entire ship.

At this time, the only two remaining ships in the sea fog had received the news that their companions had encountered the "ghost ship". They no longer cared about the prey in their hands, but instead tried to find a way to leave the sea fog.

However, they had no idea that if they had dispersed, it would have been fine. But now, as they were running in unison, their speed was no match for the Valkyrie, which was secretly following them. It was impossible for them to escape the Silver Queen's dense fog! "Get in front of them and take care of the sails, the captain, and the steering wheel."

Cheng Lang, who had already untied himself from the mast, glanced at Wuying and said, "By the way, help them tie a chain."

"Don't worry, Captain!"

Wuying patted his chest and made a promise, "I definitely won't let them get away!"

"Don't worry, I feel most at ease leaving it to you." Cheng Lang said dotingly. This sensible little guy is really likable.

"hey-hey."

Wuying smiled smugly and opened her arms to let Cheng Lang pick her up.

"Is that old man still in your hat?" Cheng Lang asked Wuying in his arms.

"Here he is!"

Wuying pointed to the red hat on his head and said, "He has been sleeping in it. And that chopstick, I can't seem to pull it out. It's tangled in my hair."

"If you can't pull it out, then don't pull it out."

The magic mirror comforted him, "Good boy, that chopstick will protect you."

"Oh"

Wuying responded ignorantly, then happily let Cheng Lang lift her up and ride on the captain's neck, and then hugged Cheng Lang's head.

After such a short delay, the Valkyrie had successfully seized the T-shaped gun position, and the guns on the only gun deck were aimed at their respective targets.

"boom--!"

After another series of gunfire, the bow waterline of the fourth pirate ship, the three masts and sails at the front, middle and back, and even the captain, helmsman and first mate who were standing on the open deck holding telescopes were all hit by more than one cannonball.

After this round of bombardment, the Valkyrie, whose hull was still hidden, did not stop. Instead, it rushed straight towards the last ship while Wuying threw out a bridle.

However, before it could enter the range of the enemy's artillery, the Valkyrie was already covered by the hull and dived underwater.

Along with the wheezing sounds and bubbles constantly emerging from the pool at the bow and center of the ship, Cheng Lang also truly felt the air which was even fresher than that above the sea.

Since the Valkyrie was approaching the opponent from underwater, it was naturally no match for the opponent in terms of speed.

However, just as the enemy was passing over their heads at a 90-degree angle with the help of the wind, the Valkyrie suddenly floated up and easily seized the best firing position of the T-shaped gun position from another angle.

"fire!"

Following Cheng Lang's order, the gun deck on the other side of the Valkyrie opened fire one after another. All the shells hit the opponent's rudder and mast. Even Wuying tried his best to throw out another bridle.

“This is the last boat.”

The Silver Queen said anxiously, "Captain, we must get to the Honest Man as soon as possible. It's sinking."

"Hurry over there!"

Cheng Lang, who originally wanted to salvage the spoils, immediately issued an order, leaving behind another ship that was confused but firmly believed to have encountered the enemy of a ghost ship.

They did have enough reasons to be suspicious. From fleeing to being bombarded and even being tied to the sea, the two ships didn't even see where the ship that attacked them was!
Not to mention what the clueless Murphy sailors here guessed, the Valkyrie, under the guidance of the Silver Queen, had already rushed to the side of the Honest Man at the fastest speed and dispersed the thick fog around the ship.

At this time, the Honest Man was in a very miserable state. All its masts were broken and the hull was in serious danger. The water level could even flood the gun deck below at any time.

But even so, the many sailors on the ship still did not give up on the ship. They were still working hard to repair the damage to the waterline, drain the water, and do anything to keep the ship alive.

"Silver Queen, come over and tie the two boats together with the sea-viewing vine."

Cheng Lang said as he let Wuying down from his neck. "Wuying, use your bridle to help them tie the two boats together."

"Leave it to me!" Wuying made the promise confidently.

"I believe you"

Cheng Lang gently touched the soft red hat on Wuying's head, then quickly walked into the captain's bedroom.

When he came out again, there was an iron rubber blood core in his hand, which was also the last iron rubber blood core on the ship.

"Belwick!"

Cheng Lang called out to the tall, thin captain who was busy draining water with the sailors using oak barrels, and handed the iron-rubber blood core to him, saying, "Send it to the ship's ventricle!"

"Nice to see you again!"

Belvik saluted respectfully, then took the iron rubber blood core and jumped into the flooded cargo hold.

"Glad you guys made it back alive"

Yun Ji, who had just been using a boat bottle to drain the lower cabin of the Honest Man, had already come to Cheng Lang's side while speaking. Before he could respond, she returned the belt bag full of valuables and the boat bottle in her hand.

"It seems that you have experienced a tough battle?" Cheng Lang asked as he took these things, but he didn't even check if anything was missing.

"We have already sunk three enemy ships using the fog."

Yun Ji obviously knew what Cheng Lang wanted to hear, "This pirate fleet of eight ships appeared suddenly and came straight towards us.

Captain, either there is a spy on our ship, or someone has tampered with our ship. In the end, I think the latter is more likely."

"Are there any suspicious targets?" Cheng Lang asked.

"Those ambergris might be the only possibility"

Yun Ji said, "Mr. Whitebread, the deck captain, said that even if all his gills were plucked out, he still couldn't ignore the stench of the stones sealed in the oak barrel."

As if afraid that Cheng Lang wouldn't believe her, Yun Ji added, "And for some reason, the stench is getting stronger and stronger."

"Is there anything else?" Cheng Lang asked.

"I returned the bracelet to Her Royal Highness Princess Bakra"

Yun Ji said this while looking at Princess Bakla who was draining water from a basin not far away. "Everything in that bracelet is gone."

"All gone?" Cheng Lang frowned.

"Only one piece of armor remains, with a red lip print on it. We suspect it came from Yun Lan, the thief who stole her princess identity."

"How did she perform?" Cheng Lang asked as he watched the Honest Man gradually float up.

"Although she is a little too delicate, she is at least a qualified princess." Yun Ji gave a sufficiently objective evaluation.

“Ask our Princess Bakra.”

Cheng Lang paused and said, "Ask her if she is willing to become captain again."

"I guess she definitely has no objection," Yun Ji replied with a smile, and at the same time she felt a little relieved in her heart. After all, their captain was finally back.
