There was a blackout today and I'm late. My apologies.
*****
Sheyan's eyes sparkled as he exclaimed.
"Flagship? Jiejie's flagship? And she's not here? Wow, this is really a match made in heaven. Then I definitely have to go. Now shut up, I'm not asking for your opinion. Immediately inform me of all information regarding that place. Remember, it's best not to omit anything. "
While listening to Taitish's report, Sheyan dispatched some men back to muster up the remaining manpower he had left behind on the Hill Maiden. Altogether, there were roughly 60-70 combatants who were capable of battle.
Without a doubt, the reinforcements of the pirates had noticed the transformation of Big Beard Davies, as they stared fixedly at that eye-catching two-handed greatsword strapped on his back. Many of them were extremely envious, as their gazes brimmed with longing.
Thus, a group of vicious and lustful pirates advanced through the darkness, stealthily creeping towards the resting area of the gypsy ship. After listening to Taitish's narration, Sheyan couldn't help but sigh in admiration at the formidable prowess of the gypsies.
For example, they actually possessed their own secret private port, where massive quantities of goods were transported in and out. Yet, this place was unknown to the pirates, yet its location was exceedingly secluded. Furthermore, they had their own merchant association, and even had agents in the east....
Under Sheyan's command, the pirates knew that they were about to engage in their old profession of pillaging and pillaging. It could be said that they were exceptionally excited, as they panted heavily and sharpened their blades before the battle even began. Of course, Taitish was sandwiched between Blacksail and Davies, and was being closely guarded. At present, she was still classified as someone who couldn't be trusted. If she dared to play any tricks, she would definitely be beheaded at the first instance.
Noteworthily, the vikings who were originally friendly with Ammand had actually joined the battle. After a brief discussion, they proactively sought out Sheyan, and offered 600 pounds of black bread and 10 barrels of rum for them to join the battle. If it really didn't work out, the price could be reduced slightly. After Mister Jinkuang rattled through his calculations, he confirmed that even if they were fully employed, it would only cost 217 pounds. Then, Sheyan immediately slapped down his hammer with pleasant surprise.
Under the guidance of Taitish who was familiar with the path, the group traversed through the forest near the shore. The incessant crashing of the waves against the shore effectively masked the sounds of the group's advancement.
Although they had already been delayed for close to an hour and a half, Taitish's previous strategy was to utilize human wave tactics to prolong the battle, before triggering the blood curses of the dead on the battlefield. Therefore, the duration of the battle was destined to be prolonged. The gypsies guarding the ship shouldn't have any suspicions, or perhaps, by the time they had any suspicions, the contestants would have already slaughtered their way to them. Therefore, Party Ace's sneak attack would still be extremely sudden.
Suddenly, Philip, who was scouting ahead, raised his hand and made a warning gesture.
"There's a smell of blood!"
Sheyan stealthily crept forward, frowning as he gazed into the forest. He could only see sporadic sparks seeping out from the darkness, like flickering will-o '-wisps that were hard to grasp. Amidst the forest, there was a small path that had been trampled out. From afar, one could hear two indescribable sounds intertwining with one another, as they distinctly transmitted over.
When the two voices blended together, it was doubly frightening and bizarre. Through the gaps of the leaves, one could observe a large number of gypsy slaves congregating in the vicinity. After pondering for a moment, he ordered for Taitish to be brought forward and inquired.
"What are they doing?"
Upon witnessing this scene, Taitish suddenly whispered.
"Could it be the materials have been gathered? It seems like they should be using black magic to refine the Baladine Bloodsail. Right, that must be it. Calculating the time, the materials we purchased from the auction should be about to be refined. "
Reef curiously asked.
"Why would the gypsies want to refine a sail?"
Taitish glanced at Sheyan with trepidation and replied.
"This should be due to master. After the transaction with him, we've successfully extracted the scent of the Chupacabra. From then on, we can conceal our scent and successfully harvest the Ocean Eggs. However, Jiejie still isn't satisfied with this."
"Because no matter what, our harvesting speed is definitely incomparable to the Chupacabra's devouring speed. Even if both sides are at the same starting line, the Chupacabra's consumption of the Ocean Eggs would definitely be several folds more than what we can harvest! Therefore, someone bluntly proposed a suggestion. That is to assemble the might of the gypsies, and construct a formidable ship. Smearing the Chupacabra's scent onto the hull of the ship, and conceal ourselves in the dark. Then, we can directly hunt down those monstrous beasts! After that, we can directly occupy the Gulf of Satmos! "
Speaking till here, Sheyan instantly understood why the gypsies wanted to purchase those 'Greenland Lethal Harpoon Cannons', as well as those precious shipbuilding materials! So it was actually such a grand scheme. Sheyan couldn't help but inquire Taitish about the uses of those Ocean Eggs, and why would Jiejie place so much importance on them?
Taitish informed Sheyan that this object was the condensation of the cold essence of the sea. When combined with the magma of the earth, it could stimulate the vitality of life; allowing the two sacrificial totemic beasts of Jiejie to be reborn; temporarily projecting themselves into the human realm. That was why Jiejie's two sacrificial totemic beasts were reborn.
Sheyan had personally witnessed the might of those two sacrificial totemic beasts. Even in their petrified state, they were actually able to contend against Little Lord Fokke! As it turns out, such a formidable ability required the activation of those Ocean Eggs. No wonder Jiejie was willing to pay any price for those Ocean Eggs.
Due to the darkness of the night, the visibility within the forest was exceedingly low. Sheyan ordered the caravan to halt here, while he and Mogensha carefully crept forward. Faintly, they could see a clearing within the dense forest, where 5-6 gigantic gypsies had pitched their tents. At the center of those tents was a massive bonfire, and densely packed with people. Amongst them, there were even ordinary farmers who were tied up, crying and screaming loudly. However, their voices were filtered by the dense forest branches and leaves, and not a single trace of sound could be heard.
Most of the frenzied screams were emitted from the throats of the farmers. As for the frenzied laughter, it was usually emitted from the male gypsy slaves.
At this moment, Sheyan purposely allowed the others to release Taitish slightly. If she was purposely concealing herself, then this would be the best opportunity for her to escape and warn the others. Instead, after Taitish observed for a while, she spoke with great difficulty.
"They actually invited a totemic demon beast to hold the fort for this black magic ritual of forging the Baladine Bloodsail! It seems like they are staking everything on this one throw, and the ritual has only just begun. "
Sheyan was startled, and Taitish pointed out to him. As it turns out, the tent where the totemic demon beast was situated had a special marking. From the fluttering of the tent's curtains, one could faintly sense the colossal and oppressive awe of the totemic demon beast! Sheyan's heart suddenly stirred as he asked.
"It seems like only that elephant-headed brute has arrived? Then Jiejie isn't here anymore? That totemic demon beast is the source of her strength, why would Jiejie be willing to part with it? "
Taitish gently shook her head.
"I don't know."
"At such a crucial juncture, she actually brought along a huge portion of her forces. Firstly, I reckon she is exceedingly confident in the strength of the gypsies. Secondly, could it be she wishes to protect herself?" Sheyan's mind spun rapidly, as he instantly thought of a crucial point.
"Something more important than hunting down the Chupacabra of the Satmos Gulf. It seems like Jiejie has also discovered the whereabouts of Little Lord Fokke, and wishes to ask a tiger for its skin? Hmm, that is a huge possibility. Therefore, she must have brought along a huge portion of her forces to protect herself. Very well, I originally didn't wish to incur enmity with you lot. But since you gypsies are scheming to deal with me, then don't blame me for being ruthless! “”
At this moment, Blacksail suddenly leapt to Sheyan's side. Then, he lowered his voice and spoke with a trembling voice.
"Boss! What a great ship! "
Blacksail was a shrewd individual, and his schemes were exceedingly deep. Nevertheless, Sheyan was confident in controlling him, and thus bestowed upon him the Boots of Swift Travel. At present, Sheyan could hear the pleasant surprise and envy in Blacksail's voice, as he raised his brows.
"What?"
Blacksail led Sheyan towards the seaside. Once they were a distance away, he hurriedly spoke to Sheyan.
"That ship anchored by the shore is truly a fine ship!! It is indeed worthy of being the flagship of the gypsy Jiejie! Earlier on, several experienced and knowledgeable scouts had reported back. Judging from the texture and texture of this 5-masted ship, it is very likely to be constructed from Iron Birch! "
Sheyan naturally knew what Iron Birch was. It was an exceedingly rare wood that grew in the Caucasus region of the far north, and could live for up to 700 years. Due to its vile environment, its growth rate was exceedingly slow.
However, Iron Birch wasn't renowned for its longevity, but its incomparably tough and dense texture. Its hardness was three times that of oak, and twice that of ordinary steel. It was the world's toughest wood. Even if it was soaked in water for a long period, its insides would still remain dry. Even when bullets of the present world struck against this wood, sparks would scatter, as though they had struck a thick steel plate. It wouldn't budge in the slightest!
Who knew what methods the gypsies had used to procure the materials to construct such a 5-masted ship! It was originally Jiejie's flagship. Now that it was brought here, it was probably modified to hunt down that formidable and bizarre Chupacabra tribe!
"How can this bunch of gypsies who know nothing about the seas be worthy of owning such a valiant warship?" Sheyan instantly steeled his resolve, as he faced his subordinates and snarled with a suppressed voice. "It should be ours! It should serve us!
