Pirate System

Chapter 45: Unprecedented Crisis

The wind is blowing from the southeast now, with a force of six.

Tangke stood on the bow, he held up the statue of the Goddess of Wind, and blew three breaths at the statue. The statue itself did not respond, but a strong wind soon blew around, the sails swelled, and the speed of the Black Pearl suddenly became much faster. Tangke's hair was ruffled by the wind. He glanced at the end of the rope tied to the cable. The end of the rope had turned from southeast to due south!

Watching the head of a rope or a small flag is an easy way to tell where the wind is going.

"Good stuff." Tang Ke couldn't help but kissed the goddess statue. Fortunately, this move did not attract divine condemnation.

Due to the southerly wind, the Black Pearl quickly overtook the Lucky, and three hours later, the Black Pearl had left the Lucky far behind. Donk didn't want the distance between the two ships to be too different, so he ordered the sailors to stow part of the sails and reduce the speed of the ship.

Tangke found that after using the goddess, only the ship he was on could be blessed by the wind, and even if the Luck was running side by side, it would not be able to borrow a little wind.

In the following days, Tonke will use the Statue of the Wind Goddess once a day, so that the Black Pearl becomes faster. He moved most of Lucky's cargo onto the Black Pearl to lighten Lucky's burden so that the two ships could still sail at a relatively equal speed.

For the first few days at sea, Hualu always avoided Tangke, and even if they met, she would seem very nervous. But after a few days, she found that Tang Ke did not make any more deviant actions, and then slowly returned to the way he used to be.

Although Hualu is a lookout, she still has some spare time every day.

When she has nothing to do, Hua Lu will learn some sailing knowledge from Cyclops, and spend the rest of her time making handicrafts. She likes to use animal teeth, shells and other things to make gadgets, and can also carve patterns on bones, and is also very good at weaving.

Hua Lu is currently making an animal tooth necklace, and she is only halfway through. Tang Ke took a fancy to this necklace, and Hua Lu said that it would be given to Tang Ke after finishing it.

On this day, as if foreshadowing, the sky was cloudy, and it started to rain lightly in the morning. The sea also looked pitch black, and the two ships seemed to be sailing in swaying ink pots.

The Black Pearl was in front, and because of the goddess, the Lucky was dropped a lot.

Hua Lu was on duty. She held the telescope and looked around. After walking around slowly, she turned behind her. She wanted to see if there was anything wrong with the Luck. She repeats this wait-and-see process every day, and she's used to everything being normal, but when she looked at it today, she was surprised to see Lucky's semaphore.

Hua Lu has learned some simple semaphores, and she found that the semaphore played by the other party was: Dangerous!

"Captain! Something happened to the Luck!" Hua Lu's face changed and she shouted.

Tangke was huddled in the captain's room to taste wine. After listening to the sailor's report, his face sank and he hurried out of the house. He climbed the rope ladder to the observation deck of the mast, snatched Hualu's telescope, and looked at the Lucky, but the mirror was foggy.

He wiped off the raindrops on the camera lens, and then he could see the situation of the Lucky ship, and the other party was sending out a semaphore indicating danger.

Fortunately, there are more than a dozen artillery pieces on board, plus the one-eyed sharpshooter, even if you encounter a normal sea monster, you don't have to worry, but at this time, a dangerous semaphore is displayed, which proves that it must have encountered a very difficult problem. .

Tangke hurriedly shouted: "Take out the signal flag! Hurry up!"

The sailors on the ship were all nervous,

Immediately someone went to take out a whole set of signal flags. These sailors are all rookies, and none of them can use a signal flag, so Tangke can only do it himself.

"You can help me see what the other side is saying, and I'll semaphore for them here." Tangke said anxiously to Hualu, and the two huddled on the observation deck, letting the wind and rain blow.

"But, but I still don't know a lot of semaphores!" Hua Lu's eyes were swirling in a hurry.

"There aren't so many buts, and if you don't, you have to!"

Tang Ke put the telescope into Hualu, then picked up two small flags of different colors, and played the slogan of "convergence", which meant that the Black Pearl went back to help the Lucky.

Hua Lu was so nervous that she even remembered the semaphore she had only heard once or twice in the past, as if she was in a hurry.

"They are saying they have encountered a strong enemy!" Hua Lu shouted, staring at the movement of the opposite ship.

Strong enemy? Tang Ke's heart moved, who could be the so-called powerful enemy with one eye? Sea monster? navy? Or the Black Toad Pirates! ? When he thought of this enemy, he had a sense of crisis on his back.

In order to verify this guess, Tang Ke played the "pirate" slogan.

Lucky was also observing the reaction of the Black Pearl and immediately changed the semaphore.

"They answered 'yes' and added a number 'six', I don't know what it means." Hualu shouted.

Tangke's heart skipped a beat, and it seemed that he had met the Black Toad Pirates, because the Black Toad had exactly six ships! It was too late for him to regret it now. He thought that the sea was so vast that it would be difficult for the two fleets to meet each other, but he did not expect that he would be so unlucky.

On the Lucky ship at this time, One Eye was also standing on the observation deck, and used the semaphore to contact Tangke in front. Behind the Lucky Ship, there are six black toad boats chasing after them, crushing the waves, like a group of beasts with open fangs.

The two pirate groups met just now. These days, the Black Toad Pirates have been inquiring about Tang Ke’s whereabouts and chased after Tang Ke along with the scattered information, because Tang Ke stayed on Starfish Island for a few days, and the black The Toad Pirates finally came after them.

The Black Toad Pirates were aggressive, and this time they were determined to kill Tangke, a shame.

One-Eyed knows the strength of the Black Toad very well. Leaving aside other ships, even a single ship, the Purgatory, is enough to destroy the Evil Dragon Pirates.

Originally, there was no suspense in this battle, but One Eye thought of Tangke's special ability. Maybe Tangke could use his powerful strength to turn things around like last time.

With this glimmer of hope, One Eye changed a semaphore.

Can you win?

Hualu told Tangke about the question of the lucky number. Tangke gritted his teeth and remained silent. Although he had the Ring of Sea Vortex Crazy Fish and his own Pirate King system, he could be regarded as powerful, but facing the six ships, he had no confidence at all.

The Ring of Sea Vortex Crazy Fish can be used twice, even if you are lucky enough to destroy three ships, the other party will still have three ships left. At that time, with two to three, it is still at a disadvantage. Although Tangke still has some bonus points, the calories that these points can play are very limited.

Moreover, the difference between six ships and two ships is not only the difference in number, but also the difference in firepower and personnel!

The third captain of the Black Toad Pirates is the second-tier strength, so what strength will Harold himself be? A real powerhouse, even if he single-handedly killed the Black Pearl, Tangke would be unstoppable.

If he fought recklessly, Tangke was only 20% sure.

In desperation, Tang Ke played the slogan of "escape".

The Luck was silent for a while, as if it had made a great determination, and only then did the slogan "My Queen" be played.

After Hualu reported the other party's news, she asked hesitantly, "Captain, I saw a boat behind the Lucky chasing after us. Are they going to hit us?"

The previous naval battle left a deep shadow in Hualu's heart, and she still feels lingering fears when she recalls that scene now.

Tangke had no intention of answering Hua Lu at all. He snatched Hua Lu's telescope and looked over at the Lucky. The other party no longer displayed the semaphore. Behind the Lucky, a ship was desperately chasing, and the two would soon be within range.

As long as one ship dragged the Lucky, the larger ships behind it would catch up and besiege the Lucky. Maybe they won't be able to fight even if they are connected to the side battle, and the black toad will choose to directly hit the lucky number into the seabed.

On the Lucky, One Eye climbed down the mast with a chilled expression. In his pirate life, he made another life gamble. He bet that Tang Ke would fulfill his promise and destroy the Black Toad Pirates in the future. And what he has to do now is to hold back the fleet of Black Toad.

"Turn the sails 25 degrees to the southeast! Also throw away everything on board except the weapons, including food and water!" One-Eyed shouted from the Luck as he brushed past the pirates.

The raindrops were denser at this time, and everyone on the deck was wet. Everyone's expressions were nervous, and even a little scared.

"Captain Tangke will come to save us, right?" The talking pirate had seen Tangke summon a whirlpool before, and he was full of awe and admiration for Tangke.

One-Eyed did not answer the pirate, but took out his pistol, pulled the trigger at the sky, and said loudly: "Shoot those who disturb people's hearts, shoot those who neglect orders, and shoot those who are cowardly! Now, turn the sails for me! "

The pirates saw that One Eye was so calm, so they calmed down and changed course according to the order. One-eyed did this to divert the Black Toad's fleet away and buy time for the Black Pearl to escape.

One-eyed carrying a long musket, he muttered in a cold voice: "Hawkeye, if you are a man, you should stand up and fight me in this battle!"

Seeing that the Luck had turned the bow, Tangke had already understood One-Eyed's decision. Once the One-Eyed went away, it meant certain death. He felt particularly uncomfortable in his heart. One-eyed got along very well with him, and he was a good buddy.

In the distance, a row of gun muzzles shone with fire, and there was a rumbling sound!
