In this stormy night, the full cargo ship slowed down again and again for safety's sake, moving forward on the sea at the speed of a turtle.
However, compared to the storm outside, everyone on the cargo ship was focused on the Lightning Bird in the night sky. The lightning spiderweb that covered dozens of kilometers was too visually impactful, and it was hard not to notice it.
"Lord Kaede Sato, is it okay to continue like this? Your Lightning Bird has been in this state for nearly half an hour. "
Under the instigation of everyone on the ship, a guard who got along well with Kaede Sato came to Kaede Sato's side nervously and asked respectfully.
Indeed, the current state of the Lightning Bird was really worrying everyone on the ship. Perhaps because it had attracted too much lightning, the Lightning Bird was now completely enveloped by the lightning, forming a lightning ball that was emitting a large amount of lightning.
Moreover, as the Lightning Bird absorbed the lightning for a long time, the size of the lightning ball became larger. At the same time, it became more and more unstable, constantly spitting out large amounts of lightning, as if it could explode at any time.
Most of the people on the cargo ship had long since passed the initial shock of seeing the Lightning Bird and the lightning spiderweb created by the Lightning Bird. Instead, they were a little worried about whether the current state of the Lightning Bird would have any adverse effects on them.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. The Lightning Bird has always been an expert in using electricity. Now that his power has reached the Heavenly King Stage, his control over lightning energy has reached the pinnacle. This bit of electricity won't be able to do anything to him. He's just using the power of lightning to temper his body, and from the looks of it, it should be over soon."
When Sato Kaede heard this, he slightly smiled and replied without a care in the world.
Everyone on the ship was basically focused on Kaede Sato, the trainer of the Lightning Bird. At this time, hearing him say so and seeing his calm expression, they could not help but heave a big sigh of relief.
If there was anyone who understood and cared the most about the Lightning Bird, it was naturally Kaede Sato. Now that Kaede Sato had said so, they were naturally relieved.
"Everyone, there's a situation in the southeast!"
However, before everyone could heave a sigh of relief, a lookout on the observation deck with binoculars seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. He suddenly shouted into the loudspeaker in his hand and pressed the button to send out the emergency signal.
The lookout's actions immediately made the people on the ship nervous, and then they all turned their eyes to the southeast.
In the sea in the southeast, a patrol ship with red flashing lights was quickly heading towards them. Coupled with the occasional burst of fire, it looked very conspicuous in the dark rainy night.
"Is it a ship in distress? And it seems to be being chased by pirates. Lightning Bird, stop immediately and return to the deck to wait for orders. "
"Everyone else, get into position and enter the first level of combat readiness."
When Kaede Sato heard that, he quickly took out an infrared telescope from the portal bag and used it to observe the situation in the southeast. Then, when he saw the situation in the southeast, he immediately used telepathy to speak to the Lightning Bird and the others on the ship.
When the Lightning Bird heard Kaede Sato's words, he immediately stopped attracting lightning to temper his body, then slowly landed on the top of the cargo ship's observation deck.
The other crew members who heard Kaede Sato's orders responded one after another, then quickly released their Wisps and began to perform their duties, entering the first level of combat readiness.
Seeing this situation, Kaede Sato nodded with satisfaction. The next second, his eyes flashed blue, and he directly teleported to the captain's room, then met with Yu Long Haidu, who had also entered a combat state.
"I just received a distress signal. The ship in the southeast is an alliance ship, and it is currently being attacked by Black Shark Pirates. In your opinion, should we help?"
When Yu Long Haidu saw Kaede Sato, he immediately stepped forward and asked for Kaede Sato's opinion.
Although he was the captain, the highest combat power on the ship was currently Kaede Sato. Especially after Kaede Sato revealed the Lightning Bird, Kaede Sato's prestige on the ship rose rapidly. Now that this matter involved combat, he had to listen to Kaede Sato's opinion no matter what.
"Since the Yu Long Clan has formed an alliance with the alliance, now that the alliance ship is in trouble, of course, we have to help. Moreover, many of the passengers on the ship are ordinary people. If the Yu Long Clan doesn't help, it will definitely greatly damage the reputation of the Yu Long Clan."
"Of course, this is just my personal opinion. After all, I'm not very familiar with the Black Shark Pirates. If I act rashly, it may put the cargo ship in danger. So, whether to fight or avoid, it's still up to you, Captain Haidu."
When Kaede Sato heard this, he hesitated for a moment. After preparing a draft in his mind, he voiced his opinion.
What he said at this moment was definitely very pertinent, and he was completely considering it from the perspective of the Imperial Dragon Clan, without any selfish motives. In the end, he even gave the right to make the decision to Imperial Dragon Hai Du, which could be considered as giving him enough face.
After spending more than a week together, Kaede Sato had almost figured out Yu Long Haidu's character. As a captain, Yu Long Haidu was qualified. His various professional knowledge was very solid, and his management ability was not bad.
However, he had a common problem that the children of big families basically had, which was arrogance. In front of Kaede Sato, he would restrain himself and listen to his opinions. However, if it were someone else, he would not allow others to question his opinion at all.
Kaede Sato naturally wanted to save the people on the cruiser, but he knew Yu Long Haidu's personality. If he really let Yu Long Haidu choose, he would most likely not save them.
It was hard for Kaede Sato to imagine that a person who often said the word "untouchables" would choose to save the ordinary people on the cruiser.
Therefore, Kaede Sato could only use the words "Yu Long Clan" to make Yu Long Haidu willing to help.
After all, Yu Long Haidu's glory, splendor, wealth, and confidence were given to him by the Yu Long Clan. He had to protect the interests of the clan at all times. Otherwise, he would be a traitor.
Now, the people in the captain's room were basically people from the Yu Long Clan. If he did not save them at this time, then what he did would definitely be spread back to the Imperial Dragon Clan in the future, and even to the ears of the people in the Alliance.
At that time, even if he did not die, he would lose a layer of skin.
Sure enough, when Kaede Sato said that just now, Yu Long Haidu's expression suddenly changed. He glared at Kaede Sato with some unwillingness, then pretended to be righteous and gave the order to support.
On the other hand, the situation in the cruiser had reached the point of life and death. Although the ship was still faithfully carrying out orders and moving forward, its speed was obviously getting slower and slower, and its power system was damaged.
Moreover, the pirates had boarded the deck in large numbers and began to wreak havoc on the ship. The resistance on the ship was getting weaker and weaker, and a large number of ordinary people could only hide in the corner and tremble like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. The captain's room where the princess was was also surrounded by many pirates at this time.
"Little ones, attack!"
In the pouring rain, accompanied by a flash of lightning in the sky, Bogue, a small pirate leader, raised the sailor axe in his hand and gave the order to the pirates around him with a ferocious look.
In the next second, many of the pirate elves released all kinds of attack moves and launched a fierce attack on the captain's room in front of them.
