The cable between the two ships had been cut, and a few dozen meters away, the fire on the pirate ship burned even more, and the smoke visible to the naked eye reached into the sky.

"Your Excellency, the battle is over,"

Someone next to him came running over and reported: "Except for the burning ship, all the other pirates have been wiped out, and not a single one is alive." ”

The man was a dark-skinned human male, and by the color of his complexion, he must have been a sailor who had been begging for a living at sea all the year round, and this man had a pair of short knives hanging from his waist and legs, and his muscles were knotted, and he was quite fierce.

This person is one of the few sailor NPCs recruited by Rune City, and this time Baker asked Kenway to bring it all in, just in case someone is behind his back.

Kenway snorted, put his hand on the hilt of the long sword at his waist, and said in a hoarse voice: "Shaq, you said that the pirate captain really had this backbone to set fire to the ship so resolutely, or was there something else?" ”

The black-skinned sailor called Shaq had already been instructed by experience, and when Kenway reminded him like this, his eyes froze, and he immediately said, "There are pirates behind?" He's a warning! ”

"yes, and there are still people." Kenway sneered, no expression could be seen in the steel armor, but there was murderous intent in his voice.

The pirates are not so righteous, the safety of their companions is nothing, and the fall of the sky is not as important as their own ships, but if it is a large-scale pirate group, it is a different matter.

The leader of the group has the detailed information of each member, including hometown, family location, relatives and friends, etc., if any of his subordinates escapes without permission, harming the overall interests of the pirate group, he is not the only one who suffers.

This kind of behavior of pirates, Kenway has not seen once or twice in these years.

"My lord, it's likely that we set off in the middle of the night, which was unexpected, so the pirates only sent these people to chase after them in a hurry?" Shaq was quick to add to it.

"Mostly,"

Kenway said disdainfully: "It's just that the ship is burning, and the pirates behind may not be able to guess the real situation, so pass my order, and the fleet will disperse, turn out all the lights, and prepare for an ambush." ”

Shaq was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "My lord, this is too risky! Lord An Anluo has already done an investigation, one of the two large pirate groups in this vicinity has been west for half a year, and there is no news at all, and the remaining one has at least 7 warships, if we face the enemy head-on, the odds are not great! ”

"It's unlikely that they'll be fully deployed, we only have two merchant ships, and even if they all come, we can wipe them all out,"

Kenway glanced sideways at Shaq, and the red light in his eyes flickered slightly: "Moreover, pirates have a habit of always keeping a ship in their lair in case of emergency, if the number of ships investigated by Anelo is seven, then they must have the eighth." ”

Shaq looked puzzled, not knowing where Kenway's confidence came from—he knew that this man was unrivaled and prowess, but it was at sea after all.

If you don't have a ship at sea, no matter how strong you are, you won't be useful.

However, Shaq soon understood that this time Kenway came and brought with him those companions who would never need to land, far more and stronger than everyone saw.

……

Ten minutes later.

The pirate ship on fire burned almost to the ground, leaving only the bow and some wood, emitting small clusters of fire in the dark sea.

The dark shadows of the five warships glided silently on the sea, and the ships were pitch black, and the pirates were all on the side of the ships, trying to keep their eyes open to the fullest, trying to see the details in the fire ahead.

"How's it going, what do you see?" A sharp voice sounded.

The dwarves at the bow of the ship immediately turned around and shoved and shoved to the deck, scrambling to report to a tall orc.

"Captain, the ship has burned out, and I can't see it clearly from this distance!"

"We can get closer, maybe there's a scattered plank floating around, and if there's one, I'll be able to tell if it's the Black Princess!"

"The people on board must have died!"

……

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense! ”

The orc captain said coldly, several noisy dwarves were immediately silenced, and the tall orcs looked at the firelight in the distance, and frowned tightly.

Was it the hand of the Black Princess, and then deliberately burned the merchant ships of Runeterra City? But why didn't you see them turn around?

Or...... Were they ambushed by the fleet of Runeterra Cities, one of them burned, and the others simply sunk or captured?

The orcs habitually scratched their heads, not believing in this possibility, and not wanting to believe that the pirate ships including the Black Princess had been completely defeated in such a short period of time, and no one had even escaped......

How strong does it take?

In the dark, the orcs had an ominous premonition.

At this time, there was a whining wind in the air, which seemed to be a sign that the weather was about to change, and the orc immediately made up his mind and waved his big hand: "Tell the other ships to turn and leave immediately!" ”

The helmsman and signalman in the rear immediately obeyed the order, but someone next to him said in disbelief: "Captain, this business is not done!?" ”

"It's not quite right here,"

The orc shook his head and said in a deep voice: "We may have been given kuang, the caravan in Rune City is not a fat fish, it is a shark." ”

Some people couldn't stand the temptation ahead, and wanted to say something, but the cold wind above their heads suddenly became harsh, like a rope tied to the air, making a sharp sound.

Everyone was stunned, and when they looked up, they saw countless dim shadows surging in the black night sky, and before everyone could react, the screams of pirates could already be heard from another ship not far to the left.

"Be careful!"

"What...... Yes!! ”

"Bang bang bang!!"

The screams were mixed with the dull sound of a continuous stream of heavy objects hitting the deck, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense, but everyone on the boat soon experienced what had happened to their companions as well.

The gray-black wind elemental swooped down at high speed, faster than them, the wind blades that flew out of their hands, and in the night, these magical attacks fell from the sky like disembodied blades, and more and more, covering the entire deck of the ship.

"Ah......h

"Poof!"

As the number of wind blades increased dramatically, the muffled sound of blades entering the flesh began to appear on the deck, sounding terrifying, and the panicked pirates dodged and desperately fled to the lower deck.

The face of the half-orc leader sank like water, his eyes narrowed, and a layer of white light suddenly lit up on his body, and the wind blade that flew down touched the white light, and immediately seemed to hit a spring, and it was completely spread out in a moment, and it was impossible to get close to the half-orc's body within a foot.

Immediately after, the orc took off the big axe behind his back, stood with his feet apart, picked up the big axe from the bottom up, and swung it towards the sky!

"Boom!!"

In the dazzling white light, a sword aura with electric light suddenly appeared, the speed was so fast that it seemed to teleport, and it flew out more than ten meters in the blink of an eye, and the dark night sky was suddenly illuminated!
