I'm also trying to survive today [Western Fantasy]

Julian ran to the deck, and before leaving the cabin, he saw a huge shell flying over the deck, and brought the blood of the two pirates off the ship.

He instinctively felt something was wrong, so he didn't run out for the time being.

At this time, the deck was already a mess. Those pirates were all fierce when facing the merchant ship, but at this time they could only cry for their father and mother, running around with their heads in their arms, regretting that their parents did not give him two more children. leg.

But on the sea, even if you run, where can you go?

The ships of the Church of the Holy Light appeared suddenly, and they appeared together. The pirate ship of Cyclops also installed a few cannons, but when facing the rich and powerful Church of the Holy Light, his small cannons were like toys. Similarly, the range is not enough to hit the opponent at all.

"Don't panic!" Cyclops' face was ashen, and he shouted from a high place, ordering the first officer to control the rudder to make an emergency turn.

Confronting the Church of the Holy Light head-on is an impossible task, and now he only hopes to get rid of the opponent with his own sailing speed.

"Raise the sails, turn around, everyone get in position!" Cyclops roared with a ferocious face: "If anyone dares to make trouble at this time, I will kill him alive!"

Cyclops is the backbone of the ship. Under his orderly command, the chaotic crew members quickly found their positions and began to work desperately.

Cyclops's pirate ship is quite good in terms of speed. The ships of the Church of the Holy Light tend to be strong and powerful, but the speed is not a shortcoming, but it is not as good as Cyclops who wants to escape.

In the end, under the enemy's artillery fire, Cyclops finally escaped from the opponent's pursuit at the cost of losing nearly one-fifth of the hull. Looking at the shadow of the Church of the Holy Light from a distance, Cyclops was extremely resentful. He vowed that one day , We must kill the people on those two ships!

"Captain, that ship has escaped, do you want other teams to cooperate with us in pursuing it?" Ivans asked.

Owen looked at the scripture in his hand expressionlessly, and hesitated for a moment: "Forget it, the Santa Selina, which is closest to us, has just experienced a big battle, and the supplies are not enough. There is no need to dispatch other ships for such a small pirate group." battleship."

Ivans hesitated for a moment, but finally left the room quietly without saying anything.

After he left, Owen put down the scripture irritably, tugged at the neckline, and looked at the pirate ship through the window, vaguely feeling as if he missed something...

Zhu was almost killed by his wife. Lian clutched his chest and panted heavily. The shelling frightened him. At the most dangerous moment, a shell flew past the tip of his nose and killed him. Killed six or seven pirates.

After they left the battlefield, Julian checked himself from head to toe after seeing the miserable situation of those pirates, and then he was shocked to find that he was not harmed in such a fierce shelling, it was like a miracle!

Except for him, the crew on the ship was only the young boy who hid in the kitchen at the beginning of the battle and was also uninjured. The fat cook was hit by a shell, and his whole body was blown up. .

The one-eyed dragon's arm was scratched by a fragment of a shell. Although it quickly recovered under the strong vitality, the newly healed skin was different in color from other places, and it could still be seen at a glance.

"Boss, we escaped." Jed wiped his face vigorously. He was bruised by the shell and fell off the boat just now. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, even if he grabbed the net rope on the side of the boat, he was not thrown away. go down.

Cyclops looked at his subordinates who had suffered heavy losses, and the ship that was almost scrapped, his face was livid with anger.

The Church of the Holy Light has always had little control over the ocean, and rarely expends effort in this area. After all, the church is to preach. The number of humans on the ocean is obviously far less than that on land, and the gains that can be obtained with the same effort are much less many.

But no one thought that it was such a neglected force that caused the pirates a big loss. If it wasn't for their unpreparedness, how could he be discovered by the church people at such a short distance!

Cyclops rubbed his forehead vigorously to calm himself down.As a pirate, it is absolutely impossible to confront the Church of the Holy Light. Such a huge force cannot be shaken by a pirate like him.

Only the few pirate kings who really hold the right to speak at sea, and only they, have the power to fight against a behemoth like the Church of the Holy Light.

Having made up his mind, Cyclops immediately ordered: "Turn around and go to Skull Island!"

Jed gasped when he heard the words, and looked at the one-eyed dragon in horror: "Boss! Are you going to find the bloody prince?"

Cyclops gritted his teeth fiercely: "Otherwise, continue to float on the sea like this, and flee in embarrassment once encountered by the ships of the Church of the Holy Light?"

Jed stopped talking immediately. Although the Bloody Prince was terrifying, he was still on the side of the pirates. If he was really caught by the members of the Church of the Holy Light, what awaited them would be the gallows.

Soon, the big ship turned around and headed towards Skull Island, but no one expected that the road would be so unsmooth. Not only did the main mast break halfway, slowing their speed by half, but they also encountered a The storm forced them to divert.

When the storm was over and Cyclops came out of the cabin, he saw the gray mist surrounding the ship, and thought of a legend in the sea, his expression suddenly changed!

"Boss?" Jed had been following Cyclops, and his heart sank after noticing his expression.

Cyclops pursed his lips tightly: "Lower the sail, stop the boat and anchor, we won't go, just wait here, wait for the fog to clear before leaving."

Jed's heart suddenly became more uncertain, and he asked in a low voice: "Boss, is there something wrong with this fog?"

Cyclops glanced at him and didn't answer, what's wrong?Of course something is wrong!

There are always various legends circulating in the sea, but the most thrilling among them is undoubtedly the legend of the ghost ship.

Unlike Jed, who was just a first-level knight, Cyclops possessed strength that allowed him to access deeper information.He knew that there were many ghost ships on the sea, some of which were controlled by the Pirate King's men and became their help, but more ghost ships were still wandering on the sea, devouring any ships they encountered.

Every ghost ship will have certain signs before it appears, such as various failures of the hull (the main mast is broken), an accident and being forced to leave the main route (storm), and the most obvious scene-the gray fog is coming.

All this proves that Cyclops and the others unfortunately encountered the ghost ship when the hull was almost scrapped.

If the hull was intact, Cyclops could still fight hard and find a way to escape, but now his ship has almost lost the ability to sail, and trying to escape the attack of the ghost ship is tantamount to dreaming.

"Gather all the people on the ship and let them go on deck." Cyclops has heard some rumors about the ghost ship, but it's hard to tell if it's true or not. The only thing that can be confirmed is that there must be people on the ship that encounters the ghost ship Missing.

There are also rumors that those who disappeared were actually crew members of ghost ships.

Now that the strength of Cyclops' subordinates has been weakened, he naturally wants to concentrate his strength, but to his surprise, when the crew gathered on the deck, there were seven or eight fewer crew members than the previous statistics after the battle!

"What's going on?" Cyclops questioned, his sinister and cruel eyes swept over the crew members one by one, making them shudder.

Jed also realized that there were so many fewer people after everyone gathered, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. You know, when he was looking for people, he had seen those people before. just disappeared.

Julian hid in the corner of the crowd without making a sound, his face was expressionless, but he was arguing with the system in his heart.

"It's reasonable, isn't this mission too difficult?" Julian looked at the newly refreshed mission speechlessly.

【New Mission: Become a Pirate Captain】

[Weak human beings, now there is an opportunity in front of you, conquer this ghost ship in front of you, the political commissar galloping on the sea, the uncrowned king! 】

"No, I am a formal knight with great prospects. As long as I return to the Maggie Kingdom, I can apply to become a formal knight and own a territory. Why can't I think about becoming a pirate?"

[System task: The system is short of energy, please collect more energy as soon as possible for the system to use. 】The task that has been hanging on the panel is displayed by the system in large and bold fonts.

Julian suddenly felt guilty. Since leaving the desert island, he has never had the opportunity to touch anything rich in energy, and naturally he has no way to provide energy to the system.

But this is not what he wants, isn't it impossible to meet pirates!

He tried very hard to explain to the system, but the cold system was very 'reasonable' this time.

[It is precisely because of the host's force majeure that the system decided to develop a new channel for the host to obtain energy. 】

The corner of Julian's mouth twitched, the new channel is to let me become a pirate to rob people?

[The host please don't slander the integrity of the system, I am a system with three views and integrity. 】

Julian: Oh, I believe your evil!

【…】

[The system is about to be uninstalled, please prepare the host to resist the attack of hell!nineteen……】

"Stop stop! I'll do it, can't I do it!" Julian was about to cry, and the system would bully him, the poor man.

It seemed that he was relented, and the system kindly explained to him why this task was released. According to the system, since he is always encountering various things and cannot collect energy, what should the system do if it needs energy?The best way is of course to ask your hands to collect them!

According to normal deduction, Julian wanted to have a power and a large number of subordinates, which could not be accomplished in a short period of time, so the system did not make a sound at all in the past, because he knew that Julian could not do it.

Now there is an opportunity to control a power right in front of us, if a system that lacks energy misses it, then it is not a system.

So, he released the quest to make Julian the pirate captain.

It's not that the system wants him to become a pirate, but that the forces he controls after completing the mission naturally stand in the pirate camp. You can take the job of a pirate captain.

Under the threat of the system, plus a little private message, Julian accepted this task holding his nose.

He comforted himself in his heart that the pirate captain was just a name, and after he took over, it was not up to him to change his career!

***

Owen Diary:

The task of sweeping up the pirates is over, but my heart still can't calm down.

Maybe I shouldn't let the last pirate ship escape. Could it be that the pirate ship was the real culprit that caused the tragedy?The unwillingness in my heart is Julian's soul reminding me?

Well, if I meet that pirate ship again next time, I will purify them and let their souls go to hell to slowly atone for their sins!

……

……

I heard that a new ghost ship has appeared on the Sea of ​​Falling Stars, and this ghost ship is actually black and white, playing tricks on those pirates!

Oh, this is really good, those pirates should die, if I have the chance, I might be able to become friends with the owner of this ghost ship!
