“Wuwu…Wuwu!!”

Following Captain Fox's order, the lookout immediately climbed up to the mast's watchtower and blew the horn loudly. Soon, the Black Crow began to slow down, and the sailors pushed a number of magic cannons to the edge of the ship's deck. This was a weapon that looked like a cannon, but used magic energy to fire cannonballs. Although its attack power and range were similar to those of a cannon, it did not require gunpowder to ignite, but only needed to be triggered by a crystal to fire cannonballs. Therefore, it had long replaced cannons and became the self-defense weapon used by ordinary merchant ships and cargo ships in the main world.

After all, for ships on the sea, storms and huge waves are their biggest enemies.

The shields that were originally hanging on both sides of the hull were also pulled up by the sailors, supported inward and stuck on the edge of the ship. Soon, this ordinary merchant ship became a mobile fortress on the sea. Captain Fox also strode to the rudder, raised the monocular telescope in his hand and looked at the other side of the sea level. Then, Captain Fox's face changed.

"Oops!"

"Looks like we're in trouble?"

With the help of magic vision, Fang Zheng could clearly see the three shadows emerging from the sea. The first one was a luxurious passenger ship. Just by looking at its bright and beautiful appearance and shining logo, it was clear that the ship must belong to a noble with considerable reputation and status.

But unfortunately, the ship had completely lost its original majesty. Its hull was covered with dark marks from the explosion and blazing flames. The raised white sails were also riddled with holes, just like a spider web ravaged by a storm.

Behind the ship, two pirate ships were chasing it like hungry wolves. The speed of the three ships seemed to be about the same, but in comparison, the ship that was desperately fleeing in front was obviously unable to hold on. Not only did it have to avoid the gunfire from behind, it also had to worry about other troubles.

That's magic.

“Boom boom boom!”

Fang Zheng saw a series of fireballs shot out from one of the pirate ships flying a black flag, bombarding the target in front. Soon, in front of the fireballs, the flickering magic light formed a barrier to block the bombardment of the fireballs. For a moment, the fire burst, and countless flames burst out. Although it was unable to directly cause damage to the target in front, Fang Zheng could still clearly see that the tail of the ship had begun to smoke and catch fire, and its speed began to decrease.

"What bad luck! It's those damned devils!"

Seeing this scene, Fox showed a look of fear on his face, while Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"Do you know them?"

"Of course, sir. Anyone who makes a living in this sea area knows the name of the 'Devil Sarn' pirate group. I heard that their leader is a wizard, and through a deal with hell, he transformed him and his men into some kind of evil and powerful beings. They can use the fire from hell at will, and are everyone's nightmare."

At this point, Fox's expression became more nervous. He tightly gripped the telescope in his hand, his face grim.

"I didn't expect it to be them... Damn, these guys are hard to deal with...!"

"So, a battle is inevitable?"

"I'm afraid that's true."

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Fox sighed helplessly.

"They are the most brutal robbers in this sea area. Rumor has it that almost no one can come back alive from their presence. I never thought our luck would be so bad... Sir, please go back to the cabin with the ladies to take shelter. It's not safe here."

"No, I don't think so."

But to Fox's surprise, Fang Zheng shook his head and rejected his proposal. Then he looked at the girls not far from him. Because they heard the horn, the girls who were originally in the cabin had come out and stood on the deck, curiously watching the battle in the distance. Even Kulia, who lay dead in her cabin as soon as she got on the ship, was no exception - this poor child knew for the first time that she actually suffered from an incurable disease called "seasickness".

At this moment, the three ships were getting closer and closer to the Black Crow. Although Fox had ordered his own ship to make way, judging from the situation of that ship, it was very likely that it would sink completely in the near future.

At the same time, the three ships had naturally noticed the existence of the Black Crow, but the ship that was escaping in front obviously couldn't do anything, and the two pirate ships that followed closely behind fired shells at the Black Crow without hesitation. Although they failed to hit the Black Crow, their intentions were already very clear.

"Tilia."

"Yes, Brother, what's the matter?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's call, Tilia came to Fang Zheng with a smile and took his arm coquettishly.

"Kill them, don't open the seal."

"Okay, please leave it to me."

Hearing Fang Zheng's order, Tilia smiled sweetly, and then the sailors and Fox on the deck looked at the noble lady in the gorgeous pink dress in surprise. She jumped quietly, and then stood on the top of the tall mast like a nimble bird. Then, Tilia raised the umbrella in her hand and aimed at the pirate ship in front.

The next moment, a bright red beam of light cut through the air and shot straight towards the pirate ship in front of it.

The energy beam condensed by the power of existence whizzed past, and even the surrounding air and seawater involuntarily made way for it in the face of this strong pressure impact. The wizard on the pirate ship was obviously not stupid. When Tilia made her move, black smoke suddenly appeared on the pirate ship, and then the smoke quickly intertwined and condensed, turning into a hard and smooth barrier like a mirror, blocking the front of the pirate ship.

At the same time, Fang Zheng also raised his right hand.

The mysterious magical power leaped and formed at his fingertips, spreading out in an imperceptible wave and entangled with the barrier on the opposite side. In just a blink of an eye, the barrier quickly collapsed and decomposed. At the same time, Fang Zheng flicked his finger, and a dimensional anchor flew out, covering the entire sea area.

At the same time, the beam of light shot by Tilia whizzed through the magic barrier that was on the verge of breaking and hit the pirate ship directly.

"boom!!"

A bright red cloud of flames erupted from the middle of the pirate ship and soared into the sky. The violent explosion of the power of existence instantly burst the entire pirate ship like a balloon, and the raging power mercilessly turned everything caught in it into dust. Even the sea itself could not withstand the violent explosion and a huge hole appeared. The strong explosive force even caused a huge whirlpool to appear on the sea surface. It spun wildly and absorbed everything around it. In the blink of an eye, the wreckage of the pirate ship was completely submerged in the sea water.

This sudden scene stunned everyone, except Fang Zheng, Nymph and Hecate, everyone else stared with wide eyes in surprise, looking at Tilia standing on the top of the mast and the umbrella in her hand. The other pirate ship was naturally not stupid enough to continue moving forward, it frantically tried to turn around and retreat, but when its hull was halfway turned, another beam of light burst out from Tilia's umbrella and hit the hull of the pirate ship with incredible accuracy. After a moment, the pirate ship, like its companions, was completely destroyed.

"very good."

Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction. Then he looked at Captain Fox who was standing there in amazement, motionless.

"Now, the danger is over."
