The trio glanced at each other without uttering a word. The enemy had actually stealthily boarded the ship, and even started killing without making a sound. Obviously, there was a traitor! If they were to make a sound now, then they would very possibly suffer a frenzied blow from the enemy!
The trio simultaneously took deep breaths. Sheyan gently unlatched the latch of the tightly sealed thick window of the captain's cabin. He then opened the window and slowly climbed out. His movements were steady and light, his entire body's nerves and muscles were adjusted to their optimal state. Brother Black and Reef followed suit, as they slowly climbed to the side of the ship, and exposed their heads.
There were only two torches lit on the deck. There was no one there, and the torches were still burning silently. Occasionally, the sea breeze would cause them to jump. Perhaps there were small insects that were trying to put themselves in the fire and were being roasted. That was why the torches made a sound. On the glossy and clean deck, distinct blood traces and blood footprints could be seen. One could tell, the night guard was slain by a single blow. Furthermore, he didn't issue any warning before his death.
All of a sudden, a miserable shriek tore through the deathly stillness of the ship! At the instance of the miserable shriek, the captain's cabin where the trio was staying a few minutes ago, abruptly ignited with a blaze. The blaze rapidly blazed, as though it was ignited with gasoline, and instantly ignited into a blazing torch. Merely 2-3 seconds later, the captain's cabin erupted with a violent explosion. If the trio were still inside, even if they didn't die, they would've at least shed a layer of skin!
Such a silent and violent explosion, caused the trio to subconsciously recall the rumbling of the Bell and Mug before it sunk! Without a doubt, this explosion was definitely related to Chris!
In this instant, the entire ship was in a state of boiling panic. Soon after, shouts and yells rose one after another.
"Quick, check on the captain, is something the matter?"
"Quickly extinguish the fire!"
"Jimmy has been killed, that damnable bastard!!!"
"Canbi has been killed too, bastard!"
"Prince and Finley have gone crazy, they're massacring indiscriminately!"
“.....”
At this moment, the trio officially appeared. They shouted out commands and easily stabilized the morale of the troops. The trio's bravery and ability had already won the hearts of the people. Therefore, when they saw that they were safe, the originally chaotic situation calmed down.
Soon, the newly recruited Prince and Finley were forced onto the deck. Their eyes were filled with venom.
Sheyan looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice,
"If you confess, I will kill you immediately. If you don't, I will spare your life."
This sentence sounded very contradictory at first, as if it was saying the opposite. But after thinking about it carefully, one could feel the huge hidden threat! Behind the words "I'll spare your life", there was a hidden meaning that made one wish they were dead!
But at this moment, Prince laughed wildly and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Seaman Yan, it's been ten years. We've been looking for you for ten whole years, and you've finally appeared. Do you know? We've always been extremely afraid that you'd die. If I let you die in vain, how can I face Henry? How can I face that brother who died so mysteriously! "
Sheyan's pupils contracted abruptly, as he suddenly sensed a tremendous threat. Swiftly turning around, he instantly caught sight of a sharp three-masted speedboat stealthily gliding out from the nearby darkness. Then, it abruptly soared above the towering waves.
At the bow of the three-masted speedboat, a swift and fierce man wearing a pirate hat stood upright like a spear. His gaze was as incisive as an eagle's, and carried hints of malice and gloominess. His entire body was flickering with a dazzling white radiance. Under the guidance of his sword, the entire speedboat was enveloped in a layer of faint white radiance. Then, the speedboat charged towards the docked Hill Maiden!!!
"Ammand … … .you've really appeared!!" Sheyan squeezed out these words from the gaps of his teeth. "Fortunately, I'm not completely without a trump card! Everyone, crouch down and grab onto a fixed object. Prepare for the collision!! "
Boom! A resounding boom boomed out! The Hill Maiden that was anchored by the shore was smashed into a massive hole. The entire ship was directly pushed back by close to 10 metres, as the bottom of the ship sunk nearly half a metre deep into the sandy beach.
Amidst the billowing smoke and shattered wood shavings, at least a dozen pirates could be seen issuing mournful screams. They were flung 5-6 metres into the air, before crashing down a dozen metres away. If not for the soft sandy beach beneath, those dozen pirates would've been badly bruised and bleeding.
Before the shockwaves of the collision subsided, the opposing ship had already unleashed a rain of lassos and grappling hooks. Following that, a large group of pirates silently sprinted over. Under the illumination of the torches, these pirates were all wearing black headscarves over their heads. Without exception, they all sported beards, and shockingly hung Damascus scimitars on their waists!
These pirates were shockingly believers of the Islamic religion! Armed with religious beliefs, they were exceptionally formidable. Ammand's nickname as the 'Son of the Black Sea' wasn't just a casual remark. He probably had a relatively deep relationship with the major countries around the Black Sea, which was why he was able to organize such a formidable pirate fleet.
The pirates of the Hill Maiden hastily met their foes, and suffered a huge setback upon contact. Streaks of snowy radiance flashed past, as blood flowed across the deck. Severed limbs and corpses littered everywhere. Ear-Piercing miserable shrieks resounded, and a pungent stench of blood wafted in, causing one to feel stifled.
At this moment, the sounds of Brother Black's AK echoed out. After a round of shots, he actually summoned two viperwolf spirits. These two ferocious beasts that didn't belong to this world gnawed and bit, and finally managed to slightly curb the enemy's offensive.
Nevertheless, the battlefield was already littered with the corpses of several pirates. Their heads were split open, and their intestines were spilling out. Their deaths were extremely miserable. Truthfully speaking, after suffering such a sudden and violent assault in the middle of the night, Sheyan's cohesiveness was astonishing. If it were any other pirate, they would've long crumbled.
Of course, this was also related to Sheyan's tampering with the Hill Maiden. He had completely abandoned long range firepower, and switched to close quarters combat. Therefore, his pirates were basically fugitives who didn't fear death, and their close combat prowess was unimaginable. Thinking of this, Sheyan couldn't help but sigh. A pity that Canbi, who was most proficient in such situations, had been schemed against. If not, how could he be reduced to such a miserable state?
Even with Brother Black's suppressive firepower, Sheyan's side was gradually unable to hold on, and displayed signs of defeat. Besides, the three major factors of timing, location, and manpower were all firmly occupied by Ammand's side. Fortunately, at this very moment, Philip led his previous dozen of trusted subordinates onto the battlefield. Although they were currently dressed in pirate attire, they hadn't discarded their Mauser rifles from their days as british marines!
Thus, one could observe the dozen of pirate attire of Sheyan's subordinates, as they opened fire in a neat formation unique to british marines. Smoke billowed into the air, as a swathe of frantically charging enemies instantly collapsed.
Within a breath's time, the Mauser rifle muzzles once again spat out a long trail of flames, as copious amounts of lead bullets sprayed out. At this moment, Philip no longer sought for precision, but employed a method of covering with bullets. He poured out a torrent of ferocious firepower to envelop the charging enemies, and buy more buffer time for his side.
Seizing this opportunity, the pirates under Sheyan's command roared wildly as they charged forward, pushing Ammand's subordinates back several metres. Ammand couldn't help but feel astonished at the battle tenacity of these fugitives. He couldn't comprehend how these pirates could actually erupt with such astonishing might.
Yet Ammand didn't know, Sheyan's previous actions had already seeped deep into the hearts of these pirates. If they liked money, Sheyan wouldn't be stingy in splurging on them. If they pursued strength, Sheyan would even deprive them of their strength and bestow it to them.
Pirates of the sea, were all incomparably savage thugs. At present, knowing that their boss's eyes were fixated on them from behind, they would naturally gamble their worthless lives for a greater opportunity. Once they succeeded, they would reap a bountiful harvest of wealth and strength! For such a profitable matter, why wouldn't they strive hard for it?
Even with such an advantageous situation, they were still dragged into a stalemate by Sheyan. Ammand's lips curled into a cold sneer. He suddenly raised his Damascus scimitar, and thrusted it towards the sky!
In this instance, the originally encircled Prince and Finley once again erupted. Furthermore, amongst the encirclement, another three pirates betrayed them, and laid their hands on their own comrades. At the same time, Ammand stretched out his index finger, revealing a black ring on it, as he shouted out loudly, "That's right!!!"
"Blacksail! This is Mr Fernandez's keepsake. I command you to act immediately, and fight alongside Prince and Finley. "
Upon hearing the two words' Blacksail ', Sheyan's heart jolted. If this person was a traitor, then this matter would be thorny!!
Ammand had come prepared. From afar, he had tied down Reef and Sheyan in a battle of kings, preventing them from acting blindly without thinking. Otherwise, if Ammand had any other ruthless moves, the three of them wouldn't even have the opportunity to react, and wouldn't even be able to escape! Unfortunately, Canbi had been assassinated, and Ol 'Seadog was a non-combatant. If Blacksail was a spy, then today, they could only abandon their ship and flee for their lives!
When Blacksail heard Ammand's words, he emotionlessly acknowledged.
"Yes."
