"What happened just now?"
At that moment, everyone on the Black Raven felt as if their brains were not working properly. Just a moment ago, they were surrounded by hundreds of specter ships. But in the next moment, they saw a blur in front of them. Then, all the undead creatures disappeared without a trace. They couldn't help but stare in bewilderment as they couldn't figure out what exactly happened.
But fortunately, there were still people in charge of this place.
"Hurry up and repair the ship. Big Brother will be in charge of dealing with the ghost ships. You just need to be ready to set sail at any time! "
Delia took over the command from Fangzheng immediately. Although it was apparent that Hecate held a higher position in terms of status, since Delia didn't have any objections, the others naturally wouldn't say anything either. Moreover, Delia had been by Fangzheng's side all day long and everyone had witnessed how she addressed him as' Big Brother '. Therefore, for those who weren't aware of the situation, it wasn't inappropriate for Delia to take over the command.
"Hurry up and repair the ship!"
Fox hurriedly called out, before respectfully moving to Tilia's side.
"Erm … Miss Delia, is Sir … alright?"
"Nothing will happen to Lord Big Brother."
Facing Fox's question, Delia appeared rather confident. Although she knew that the damn ghost fleet wasn't easy to deal with, she was also aware of how powerful the 'Seal of Extinction' that Fangzheng developed in Shana's world was. That was why she wasn't worried that Fangzheng would lose. As long as these people didn't drop the ball, there wouldn't be a problem.
"That's good … Hey, you bastards, hurry up and get to work! How much longer do you need?! "
"At least three more hours!"
Perhaps due to the stimulation from the ghost ships and the Gulf of Dead Souls, these sailors were working with all their might. But it was a pity that many things couldn't be solved by working with all their might. Although they had done their best, they still needed to ensure quality and quantity. Otherwise, if they didn't spend much time repairing the ship and it sank halfway, that would be really troublesome.
In an instant, the entire deck was in chaos. Ogren had already fainted due to excessive blood loss. Hecate, on the other hand, showed some of its true colors as a Great Imperial Magus and cast a Cleansing Flame on her to heal her wounds. The others, on the other hand, began to move all kinds of materials in a flurry, running up and down in all directions. On the other hand, Fox yelled for the sailors to get ready to set sail at any time. He wasn't a fool either. He had witnessed so many ghost ships and even though he didn't know what method Fangzheng used, he thought that it wouldn't be easy for a single person to face so many ghost ships head-on. Even if he won, it might be a pyrrhic victory. If the situation was a little worse, perhaps both sides would suffer. What if something went wrong …
Of course, Fox wasn't stupid enough to say such discouraging words. However, he still hastened his men and ordered everyone to get ready to set sail as soon as Fangzheng returned. In short, it was always better to be prepared.
"R-report!"
"Who is it?"
Just as Fox was about to become dizzy from all the troublesome matters, he saw another sailor running over. Upon hearing his report, Fox was about to go crazy.
"For the sake of the Goddess, can't you do something about it? Do you need me to teach you how to handle the wheat step by step? Tell me! What's wrong?! "
"Reporting, Captain. There's a ship heading toward us from 15 o 'clock!"
"What?!"
Hearing this, Fox was shocked and almost threw the pipe in his hand into the sea. He hurried to the side of the ship, raised his binoculars, and looked into the distance. The Specter Ships earlier had already scared Fawkes out of her wits. The Black Raven was still unable to set sail. If they were to encounter another Specter Ship, they would be in deep trouble.
But after taking a closer look at the ship, Fox heaved a sigh of relief.
"Phew … Luckily, that's a warship. Judging from the flag, it should be Ferrier's corvette … That's strange. Why aren't they staying in that lousy place on the other side of the ocean? What are they doing here?"
"Ferrier?"
The others didn't react, but Nunnally and Culia were taken aback. Then, they gazed into the distance anxiously.
"Culia, do you think they're …"
"I don't think so, Nunnally. You're only a Beginner Alchemist …"
Culia patted Nunnally's hand gently. But at that moment, she also gazed into the distance nervously. For some unknown reason, she had a bad feeling about this. She wasn't a fool. If the ship that appeared here belonged to another country, she wouldn't be this worried. However, after sailing on the sea for such a long time, Culia already knew that sailing on the vast sea wasn't as simple as she thought. She didn't just need to raise the sails and go wherever she wanted. Instead, one had to rely on a magical compass and nautical charts to travel along a fixed route.
And since this ship appeared here, it meant that it was traveling along the same route as the Black Raven. Considering that the reason why they were heading to the Misty Sea was because Mr. Fangzheng bought a few islands there … What was the purpose of this Ferrier corvette?
As a warship, it couldn't possibly be here for sightseeing, right?
"Signal them. Ask them who they are! What are they doing here? "
"Yes, Captain!"
As the distance between both sides shortened, the flag bearers began to signal each other. After a few moments, the flag bearers revealed troubled expressions.
"Erm … Captain, they said that they're members of the Ferrier Corvette. They're here to capture a fugitive from Ferrier …"
"— — —!"
Nunnally shuddered and Kuliya shielded her behind her back.
"Fugitive?"
Captain Fox was taken aback. He swept a glance at everyone and let out a helpless sigh after witnessing Nunnally's and Culia's expressions. Then, he shifted his gaze to Tilia. He finally understood that no matter if it was Fangzheng or Ferrier, he definitely couldn't afford to offend them. Right now, all he had to do was to be a pendant and listen to whatever their leader said.
"Miss Tilia, what should we do?"
"What should we do?"
Facing Captain Fox's question, Tilia let out a snort. Then, she took a step forward, raised her parasol, and aimed at the warship in the distance.
"A group of mere humans actually dared to find trouble with Lord Big Brother. They are seeking their own deaths!"
Swish!
As soon as Tilia finished her sentence, a scarlet beam erupted from the tip of her parasol, splitting the seawater apart and heading for the warship in the distance!
"How dare you!"
Just as the beam of light was about to pierce through the heart of the Venriel Battleship, an angry roar rang out. The seawater in front of the Venriel Battleship suddenly flowed in reverse, rapidly forming a wall of ice. At the next moment, Tilia's beam struck the ice wall and deviated by 90 degrees.
In the next moment, the ice wall exploded with a loud bang, turning into hundreds of thousands of ice spikes that whizzed towards the Black Crow that was docked at the dock. At the same time, Hecate raised the staff in her hand and swung it gently.
"Oh, stars …"
Along with Hecate's soft murmur, countless meteors descended from the sky, transforming into a rain of light that devoured the ice torrent.
"Oh my god …"
Looking at this scene, Captain Fox and the others widened their eyes in astonishment. It was already frightening enough that Hecate could freeze the entire ocean. But now, this Cleric on the Black Crow Warship could actually summon stars?
