On the surface of the sea, sharp noises appeared frequently, it was the sound of heavy artillery shells breaking through the air. The shells dragged the flame wind, fired horizontally or projected, and chased the Silver Hook across hundreds of meters of the sea. Every minute and every second, the vicinity of Silver Hook is always accompanied by water jets caused by the explosion. How can this poor pirate ship have experienced such a big battle, if it weren't for Franklin's hill-like figure to the sailors on the ship. Unreasonable confidence, these ordinary pirates have already collapsed both mentally and physically.

Although he can still manage to escape in a boat, everyone has no fighting spirit. It is hard to say whether he can escape into the Strait of Whispers.

The Whisperer Strait is 253 kilometers long. There are many bends and the width of the water surface is limited, which can only accommodate a boat. And the tower-class ships like the Knights of the Seal cannot sail in at all, otherwise the Pope’s hall would have dispatched these tower-class warships to bomb the Roaring Bay, and how could the pirates survive until now.

If you can escape into the Whisperer Channel, at least you don't have to face the attack of being caught, and you can also use the speed of the curve and the current to throw off the warships of the Knights. But there is still a considerable distance from the strait, otherwise the chief officer would not recommend taking a rest on the nearby islands, because if you continue to drive, it is already night to reach the Whisperer Strait.

Those who seek life on the sea are well aware that navigating at night is a dangerous thing, especially in the environment of the Whisperer Channel. Complicated curves can cause ships to run aground or even crash at any time, so no one wants to pass through the strait at night if it is not necessary. It's just that they can't help but choose now, however, the knights are biting very tightly. The warships lined up in an geese-shaped array fired frequently, and shells fell from the sky to the Silver Hook. Franklin tried his best to intercept it, but he could hardly support it alone. Gradually, the Silver Hook began to be shot. Fortunately, Franklin stopped the shells that fell on the mast or rudder, and other important positions on the ship, otherwise the Silver Hook would have sunk.

What made Franklin helpless was that the warships of the Knights of the Seal always kept a certain distance from them. This distance was within the range of the heavy artillery, and at the same time Franklin couldn't forcefully board the ship and wreak havoc like last time, so he could only defend passively. The Silver Hook is also equipped with gunpowder cannons, but they cannot be compared with heavy artillery in terms of range and power. It can be seen that the opposing commander has calculated all this, using the number of ships on the side and the power of the heavy artillery to drag Franklin's ship to death.

Following the heavy artillery, with the Gryphon Riders lifted off on both sides of the warship decks behind the main ship, the armored units of the Knights of the Seals also went into battle. The Griffin Rider is not like a Paladin-type power armor. Its mecha has been lightened. In order to have the ability to fly short distances, it cannot carry heavy weapons. Griffon Riders are generally equipped with light machine guns and micro missiles. Light machine guns are often just a decoration. The real lethality of Griffon Riders comes from a row of micro missiles on the shoulders of the mecha. They are the Griffon Riders. The real trump card.

Last time Franklin also faced this second-generation mecha, but at that time there were only four Griffin Riders, but now there are as many as twenty!

The red energy light rolled in Franklin's eyes, and then two scarlet high-energy beams shot straight out, first strangling a Griffin Rider, then sweeping the light, creating four or five fireballs. But then, when the Griffin Rider completely lifted off, Franklin's volley was not so easy. The Griffin Rider moved flexibly in the light.

The distance of several hundred meters passed in an instant, and Franklin could only shoot down three or four Griffin Riders in the process. The remaining ten or so flying mechas have reached the sky above Silver Hook, and the Griffon Rider's shoulder armor bounced off, and a row of miniature missiles rose from the stomach. After locking the target, the miniature missile swished out, dragged a very complicated smoke trail in the air, dozens of missiles fired in a salvo, and suddenly fell towards the Silver Hook like a kaleidoscope.

Franklin yelled and grabbed his captain's throne. With a little effort, he lifted the base fixed to the deck with screws from the ground. Franklin directly threw the big chair out. This chair blocked a dozen micro-missiles from the front and turned into powder in the flames of the explosion. But many missiles were fired. The giant gritted his steel teeth and squatted to exert force. The whole person bounced from the ship like a cannonball and faced the missile in mid-air.

He opened his entire large-sized font, grabbed or waved his hands, and stopped more than 20 mini-missiles abruptly. But seeing fireballs exploding in the air, the flames and shock waves of the explosion made Franklin feel that his bones are about to fall apart. But even if he used himself as a shield, he still couldn't stop all the missiles. So the fish that slipped through the net finally landed on the ship, and several fireballs immediately exploded on the Silver Hook.

Suddenly, the ship on the left, the middle deck, and the rudder at the tail were shot at the same time. In the flames of the explosion, sawdust flew around, and a few hapless sailors either killed them or let the shock waves of the explosion plunge into the water. Before the fallen sailor could climb onto the ship, he was dragged into the water by the ferocious creatures underwater. After a short while, there was blood stains.

Franklin fell back on the ship, and the Silver Hook had stopped. A mast broke off at this time, and the sails slapped on the water. The pirate ship swayed from side to side, the hull was damaged, and the cabin began to flood, not far from sinking. However, the Knights of the Seal still had no plan to give up, and heavy artillery chased them. The giant had to do a futile interception effort, but could not prevent the heavy artillery from destroying the pirate ship again.

A heavy artillery fell on the hull and interrupted. Amid the sound of the explosion, a huge crack ran across the center of Silver Hook's hull. In the fearful scream of First Officer Jayne, the Silver Hook split from both ends, and the front of the hull was immediately planted into the water because of the heavy bow decorations, and several sailors were thrown off. .

Seeing this situation, Franklin was also helpless. He was standing in the stern position, but this part of the hull was gradually sinking. However, in the sky, the Griffin Rider was still shooting with a light machine gun. The bullets did not pose much of a threat to Franklin, but they punched dense bullet holes into the ship's hull to accelerate the infusion of sea water and make the ship sink faster.

Is it the only way to get here? Franklin shouted in his heart, he was not reconciled. But he knew that even if he didn't want to, whether it was falling into the sea or being captured by the Knights of the Seal, the ending would not make much difference. The former is buried in the belly of the fish, and the latter can only spend the rest of his life in the operating table and the laboratory, so life is worse than death.

On the upstairs ship, Signe turned the ring in his hand and said to his adjutant: "It's time to invite our Mr. Beast on the ship."

The adjutant nodded and shouted at the flag bearer: "All members go forward and surround the target!"

The flag bearer immediately conveyed the order through the motion of waving the flag, and Sine, who was sitting leisurely waiting for the completion of the net retraction, felt an awe-inspiring power emerge from the rear of the fleet. That power is rough, like a huge rock with sharp edges and corners, with amazing pressure! The head of the sub-group immediately jumped up to the top of the ship, and a huge shadow was immediately enveloped.

Just behind the fleet, I don't know when a giant boat appeared quietly. Its size was several times that of a Sine's car. With a length of 100 meters and a height of 30 meters, it looks like a small oil tanker. This giant boat is like a monster on the sea. It quietly abducted from an island behind the sea, and then bit its tail into the fleet of the Knights. The platoons on both sides of the giant boat had already fired. This type of artillery was not as powerful as the heavy artillery, but fired at such a close distance, it also blew up the warships of the Knights. The Griffin Riders near Silver Hook had already ignored Franklin, they turned and flew back, attacking the giant boat that suddenly appeared.

Above this huge boat, there are five tall masts, and on the huge sail that looks like a sky curtain, there is a pattern of a black giant tortoise drawn. The giant tortoise has sharp edges and corners, its head has a fierce expression, and its triangular eyes reveal awe-inspiring murderous aura. Seeing this pattern, Signe's face became gloomy. He knew very well what this pattern represented in the Knights' archives.

That is the symbol of the Iron Scale, one of the four major pirate groups in Roaring Bay. Since Iron Scale is here, how can its captain, "Fire Shield" Deborah, be outside? Sure enough, after the pirate ship and the Knights battleship began to exchange fire, a burly man appeared on the deck on the right side of the ship. The head of the Ironscale Pirates, Deborah, is of Germanic descent, is tall, and has a ferocious and combative character. He is a cross-domain capable person of fire system and fighting domain, and his weapon is a tower shield covered with steel thorns.

As long as Deborah is willing, he can attach a layer of high-temperature flames to his tower shield, so that the giant shield can attack and defend. In the ranks of the Pope’s Hall, Deborah and the other three pirate regiment leaders are dangerous figures second only to the Big Three of the Counter-Sentence Army. Each of them has the strength to match the leader of the knights, and he is a man who even Signe is unwilling to provoke easily.

"The running dogs of the Pope's Hall! Since you have brought it to the door by yourself, I'm not welcome, and accept your slaying ceremony!" Deborah yelled loudly, his voice resounding throughout the sea. With the power of rushing energy in his voice, the voices of some ordinary crew members on the warships closer to the Iron Scale stunned him.

Deborah clapped the giant shield in his hand, and suddenly a bright orange flame entangled up. The iron scale boat gave a long laugh, and the people jumped up high. Crossing the deck of the Iron Scale, it smashed down a warship down like a meteor with the mighty power of a mountain. In an instant he collided with the warship, but it was the latter that could be damaged. The warship sank first, the waterline kept rising, and the sea almost overflowed the deck. Then followed it up, and then clicked again, and it was unexpectedly knocked into two pieces from Deborah from the interruption.

After destroying a ship in an instant, Deborah flew out from the cabin of the warship and landed on the deck of another warship. Many holy seal knights on the deck are ready for contact battle. As soon as Deborah got on the ship, a dozen knights activated the energy shields, and at the same time drew out the high-frequency knives behind them and rushed towards Deborah. They are also equipped with Dragon Gun 2 machine guns, but the knights know that in the face of opponents of Deborah's level, the machine guns can play a limited role, and they are not as effective as close attacks with high frequency knives.

A dozen knights slashed with knives, and Deborah was not afraid. The flame shield was set up to protect the whole body, and a dense, crisp sound suddenly sounded. A dozen high-frequency knives slashed on the flame shield. Even a trace was left on the shield. Deborah sneered, and the huge shield swept across, the spikes on the shield jammed the knight's long knife. They couldn't get away for a while, and they were all knocked out by the Flame Shield.

The force of this collision is ten tons. Although these knights have energy shields, they consume all the energy almost instantaneously. The energy shield counteracted most of the power, but the knights who directly touched the Flame Shield were all contaminated with flames, and the body was twisted and deformed by Deborah's strange force. When they fell, they had already turned into corpses.

The cabin suddenly burst, and a Paladin-type mech rushed out. The mech lifted a revolving gun, and the pilot fired as soon as he locked Deborah. The machine gun made a dull sound, and the bullets plowed all the way across the deck of the warship and hit Deborah. Deborah rolled flexibly, and when he bounced, the flame shield spun out and cut through the waist of the Paladin's mecha with a round of flames.

The knight in the driver's cabin opened his eyes wide, and the picture in his eyes suddenly tilted, but it was the paladin's mech that was slashed by the flame shield. A bright line of fire appeared at the interception, and then burst into a fire ball with a bang, blasting the mecha to pieces, and the knight in the cockpit was not spared.

After receiving the Flame Shield, Deborah inhaled and shouted, slamming the shield against the deck. The warship shook, and several lines of fire centered on Deborah's feet, spreading around the warship, followed by a fire screen like a knife, and the warship was cut into pieces!

The warship split apart, and Deborah was standing on the wreckage of one of the hulls. A long rope snuggled towards Deborah, and the captain caught it with one hand. When the long rope retracted, Deborah pulled back to the Ironscale. In a blink of an eye, two warships were destroyed by one person, and the pirates on the ship shouted loudly and attacked the other warships more vigorously. Deborah looked at Signe defiantly, but the latter jumped back to the deck in silence.

The adjutant asked at this moment: "Captain, are you going to dispatch the Knights of the Round Table?"

The strongest fighter armour in the Pope’s Hall, the Knights of the Round Table, who can only be controlled by a captain-level figure, is now fixed in the cabin of the ship. Although the battlefield of the Knights of the Round Table is mainly on land, it is not without the power of a battle even in the sea. But to the adjutant's surprise, Signe shook his head and said: "No, we retreat and let them go for the time being."

"Where is that beast?"

"Leave him alone, let's go!" There was anger in Signe's tone, and the adjutant didn't dare to delay any longer, and quickly told the standard bearer the order.

Looking at Deborah on the Ironscale, Signe said in a voice that he could only hear: "Is this what you call a chess piece? Sauron!"

The commander of Division 3 remembered that he had reported to Sauron more than a month ago that he had found a conflict between the beast and the two warships. Sauron thought for a while and said: "From the path of this beast, he is Go to Roaring Bay. Signe, stop him as much as you want. But remember, don't kill him. If you are blocked by other pirates during the interception, retreat!"

"Why?" Signe asked inexplicably at the time.

Sauron said indifferently: "This question has exceeded your authority, Commander. In short, just do as I say, I'm my own opinion!"

Signe was not stupid, and after careful consideration, he came to a conclusion that surprised him. Sauron must have arranged his own **** among the pirates, and judging from the whereabouts of the beast, the giant made it clear that he was going to Roaring Bay. But what is he going to do in Roaring Bay? Sine then thought, Roaring Bay is not only the four pirate regiments, but also Istar, the base camp of the rebels.

There must be some connection between the beast, roaring crossing, and Istar. At that time, Signe thought of other life forms from the last era that were still controlled by the Papal Chamber. After the beasts fled, the Pope's hall has awakened other beasts. All this suddenly became connected, so Signe saw the outline of the whole event.

The beast that went to Istar undoubtedly wanted to use the power of the rebel army to regain its own compatriots. And Sauron must have figured this out, so on the one hand, he arranged for himself to chase, and on the other hand, he used his chess pieces to rescue the beast. In other words, Sauron wanted to take this opportunity to infiltrate Istar, because the Pope’s Hall has disappeared and the rebels are also looking for beasts!

Then all this becomes a matter of course ~lightnovelpub.net~ But Signe did not expect that Sauron is a big deal. The chess piece he arranged turned out to be the iron scale of one of the four pirate groups, Deborah the Shield of Flame!

Franklin looked at the sea, and there was smoke on the other side of the sea. At least five warships were sunk, and there were many knights and mechas that were damaged. This time the Knights came fiercely, but returned in embarrassment. Seeing the ship and the remaining warships disappear on the horizon, Franklin was relieved, knowing that he had finally recovered his life.

As for the pirate ship that had beaten a gray-headed and gray-faced knight, it began to drive in his direction. Franklin didn't have time to pay attention to it. Taking this opportunity, he took Jayne and two sailors out of the sea. The first officer and the sailor were both pale. Although they had temporarily recovered their lives, because they were directly exposed to the sea, Franklin knew that they were also alive soon.

Jayne and the others seemed to know their own destiny, and they all looked silent. At this time, a huge shadow enveloped them, and a bold voice came from the deck of the giant boat: "Get on the boat! If you don't want to soak in the water."

Seeing that his feet were almost immersed in the sea, Franklin sighed, carried Jayne on his shoulders, and then jumped on the rope ladder hanging down from the Iron Scale. Franklin boarded the ship again, and Silver Hook had completely sunk into the sea and disappeared.
