Scene 163 The Pirate Bay

Gray-white cliffs stand tall in the mist. Such scenery is often seen in the fjords around Sopalachi, like silent giants standing on the seashore. Ships pass by at their feet, so small and scary. The wind is a bit cold. It’s not the shivering chill that comes after the autumn dusk in the fir trees, but the bone-chilling low temperature, because this is the south of the Great Glacier, and when people talk about the Great Glacier, they always change their expressions.

The wind howled at the top of the canyon, making a whirring sound like a ruler scraping against rags. The sky over the fjord is covered with clouds, making people feel like the sky is going to fall at any moment.

Logically speaking, in such bad weather, the fog should have been blown away long ago. But the wind poured straight into the fjord, and the fog from outside kept pouring in, causing the clouds and fog on the fjord to billow, as if it never stopped.

The fleet set off from Gusair and arrived in Sopalachi in three or four hours. Because the fog was coming from the north, they had to take shelter in the fjord in advance. The terrain in the Sopalachi Fjord is complex. After traveling through the winding strait for almost half an hour, it was no longer clear what was going on.

As for the pirate's hiding place, it's even more unclear.

Brando was not in a hurry. He used the line of law to scan the surrounding fjords over and over again, carefully searching for the clues he wanted. Soon, he found an unusual place. A quarter of an hour later, the fleet appeared there.

It is an in-bay canyon with its own world within. The 90-degree angle at the entrance blocks the wind outside, making this wide water area seem a bit peaceful, with a little mist floating on the water, like a veil.

There is a huge hole deep in the inner gorge, which is connected to the sea and can actually allow ships to navigate. In addition, it is located deep in the fjord, so it is very secretive and suitable for pirates to hide. If he hadn't spread out his extreme plain, most people wouldn't be able to find it.

When the three ships slowly sailed into the inner gorge, through the mist, they saw the huge hole hanging alone on the cliff. Everyone couldn't help but look at the Earl from Eruin with both respect and admiration.

This journey was not without thrills, but Brando led them to break out of Gusair first, and then took out the mythical wealth and heroically ‘burned it to the ground’. They forced the fleet to sail against the wind and arrived in Sopalachi before early morning.

Then he decisively ordered the fleet to avoid the fjord in advance, and single-handedly led them through the fog to this place, where they saw the pirates' hiding place right in front of them. Even if they were on opposing sides, Instalong and Tagus couldn't help but cheer for each other.

"Madara is not unable to tolerate a noble from another country. My lord, if you are willing to surrender to His Majesty, Eruin will remain the same."

Instalong didn't know how many times he had said this in Brando's ear.

Brando stood at the bow of the ship, looked back at him with a smile, shook his head and said: "Can you promise this, and I have no intention of becoming the King of Eruin, I will have a good talk with your Majesty, But it’s still unclear who will be dominant.”

Instaron sighed. Once these two people meet, things may become unpredictable.

But even if Madara has one more outstanding dark noble, that would be good. Subconsciously, he no longer regarded Brando as a person on the same level as himself, but compared him with the existence holding the mercury staff.

However, he still wasn't optimistic about Brando's chances. He had no doubts about the rise of the Dead Moon Country, and in another time and space, it was indeed the same.

The three ships slowly sailed into the cave, and the surrounding light suddenly dimmed. Adni's knights lit torches, and under the flickering light of the fire, everyone discovered that the cave was extremely wide inside - a wide and deep waterway plunged into the depths of darkness, surrounded by smooth limestone cave walls.

The cave is actually thirty to fifty feet high. Countless stone stalactites hang densely overhead.

Brando and Tagus originally planned to risk the ship running aground, but they didn't expect that this waterway is very good, with a deep draft, and it looks like a natural harbor. Although the throughput may be smaller, But it is also extremely rare as an anchorage. God knows how those pirates discovered this place in the first place.

The light of the torch slowly advanced as the ship moved forward, illuminating the surrounding dark cave walls. I don't know what kind of metal was mixed in the limestone of the cave walls, which actually reflected a yellow light.

But this deep waterway has an end after all. Soon, they saw a small inlet that could park one or two boats. There seemed to be a simple pier at the other end of the inlet, and a crooked wooden trestle was built into the deep water. , connected to the shore.

There was no ship in the pier at this moment, and no trace of pirates could be seen. This made the knights who had weapons in hand ready to fight breathe a sigh of relief, but they were a little unwilling to be chased all the way from Gusair. Like a lost dog, the enemy cannot see it at all.

This is obviously very frustrating for these masters in their respective fields who have the dignity of masters - the masters on the side of truth can be regarded as masters in every aspect. It is probably about the same for such a group of people to gather together as mercenaries. Only Ms. Adney could think of it - they would rather have a good fight than this.

Even if you lose, it’s okay.

The result was good, in the end not even the pirates were touched.

The fact that the pirates did not anchor their ship in the port indicates that they did not settle here. This is not surprising, after all, this is just a hiding place, not their lair. It was like the kind of temporary anchorage often used by smugglers, where they would stop occasionally during storms but not permanently.

Everyone felt disappointed, but in fact it was just a psychological effect. After all, if they could not take action, no one would be willing to take action except fanatical militants.

The two ships entered the port one after another, and the Gui Che clan's large ship had been left outside, because no matter how big the cave was, it could not accommodate such a large armed merchant ship.

There is a layer of mist hanging in the cave, just like the inner fjord outside, but much better than outside the fjord. The fleet in the mist has almost spread throughout the Wagtail Strait at this moment. Brando has been with him all his life. I have never seen so many nameless people in my entire life, let alone other people.

After the boat stopped, everyone got off the boat one by one, and then Tagus ordered the skeleton soldiers on the boat to drill through the boats and let them sink here to prevent them from being used by outsiders. The first batch of skeleton soldiers who landed in small boats had already explored the passage at the other end of the cave, so there was no need for these boats. Tagus and Brando did not expect to wait until the fog outside dissipated before continuing to go out to sea by boat. Moreover, it was not necessarily safe for dozens of miles offshore. They had to reach the real inland area to completely avoid the march of the Nameless Ones. .

This was also the reason why they did not directly forcibly land from other places. After landing, they had to open up a road along the wilderness. Maybe they would run into the marching route of the Nameless One at some point. Since this is the landing point for pirates, there must be a safe and easy land route behind it. Otherwise, this place will be regarded as a safe haven at best, not a temporary nest.

As for whether sinking the ship would cause any trouble to the people behind, Brando has never considered this issue. Why should he think so carefully about the pirates? As for Tagus, they even disdain to consider this. Even if the undead may reopen this port in the future, they still have the means to salvage the sunken ship. As for the pirates, what should they do?

Who cares?

After everyone got off the boat, the cave seemed a little cramped. After all, in addition to Brando, Delphine, Huanghuo and his party, there were also two squadrons of skeleton soldiers and a group of low-level soldiers on the two Madara armed smuggling boats. Corpse witches are usually kept under the cabin, acting as ballast stones with Madara characteristics. They are only released when there is a battle or when landing is required.

In addition to the skeleton soldiers, there are also more than ten sailors on the armed merchant ship of Gui Che. In addition to the two elders and their servants, Fang Qi's subordinates and servants, counting down, there are two or three. As many as ten people.

Adni and her knights were another group. Suddenly, there were more than a hundred people in the pirate's hideout. This small place was obviously not too small if it wanted to appear less cramped. possible.

Tagus divided a squadron and a half of skeleton soldiers (the other half of the squadron was lost in Gusair) into two groups. One group opened the way in front and continued to serve as cannon fodder, and three corpse witches were responsible for commanding them, while the other group was larger in number. The first group is rearing behind, not to prevent anything, but mainly to serve as a warning. If they encounter the unknown person later, they can at least detect it in advance. In essence, they are still cannon fodder.

The sailors of Gui Che are naturally prisoners at this time, but ordinary sailors have no one to care about them. The servants of Gui Che's two elders have considerable strength, and they are taken care of by Adni's knights - - Of course, Brando also paid for this. The female knight couldn't be more satisfied with Brando, a generous employer.

Only the two elders of the ghost car made Brando and Tagus feel a little troublesome. After all, they were still masters of the extreme realm (although they only had half of their feet in the extreme realm). Even if Deputy Marshal Blanc Go and monitor, problems may arise if you are not careful.

Those two people had obviously suffered a lot in the past few days. They had been locked in the bottom cabin with skeletons and corpse witches, and the food they ate was not as good as pig and dog meat. This was not because Tagus deliberately treated them slowly, but The food that sailors can only eat at sea is like this. It is impossible for the undead to prepare cooks for the two prisoners. That is the treatment that Brando and Delphine only have. To be continued.
