"This is……"
The man named Colter seemed to have discovered something and suddenly turned his head to look at the place where the giant steel ship appeared.
His pupils contracted rapidly, and strings of mysterious codes flashed across his retina. In just a moment, he recognized the giant steel ship.
"Steam Church Z series heavy battleship. Is the person coming from the Steam Church?"
Thinking of this, Colt's face turned pale in an instant.
He suddenly hugged the woman in his arms, stopped attacking the three-masted sailboat, and dived quickly into the water.
After coming into the water, he retracted the eight-barreled rotary machine gun behind him, and instead raised a propeller from behind him. Then he directly increased the power of the propeller to the maximum and dived madly into the depths of the sea.
The blonde woman on the water was stunned for a moment, then she realized instantly that Colter was going to abandon her and the others and try to escape with Danif.
For a moment, the blonde woman felt mixed emotions, anger and relief.
What made him angry was that he actually embarrassed himself and others to escape.
The relief is that if they can really escape, it would be a good thing.
The blonde woman let out a long sigh, feeling the spiritual power in her body almost exhausted. She glanced at the surviving crew members who were still caught in the waves, and a miserable smile appeared on her face.
I failed this time, and I can't blame anyone else. I can only blame myself for not being well prepared.
I thought that everything would be fine as long as the seal of the night realm could restrain my spirituality.
Little did they know that there would be other people intruding into the Thundering Sea.
Inexplicably, she couldn't help but imagine what would happen to her if she fell into the hands of those pirates:
Will he be cruelly tortured and become a plaything for the captain to manipulate at will, or will he become a tool for those vulgar sailors to line up?
Thinking of this, the blonde woman's face turned even paler.
Her hands trembled violently as she slowly pulled out the special dagger from her waist. The blade flashed with a cold light in the dim light.
The sea breeze was howling and the waves were beating against the water, making a deafening sound, as if they were also wailing for the decision she was about to make.
She took a deep breath, mustered up the greatest courage in her life, and slowly placed the dagger against her neck. The sharp tip of the knife pierced her skin, and a trace of blood oozed out.
Just as she clenched her teeth and prepared to stab it hard with this special dagger, the darkness and unknown of death suddenly emerged in her mind, and the fear completely overwhelmed her like a tide.
She admitted that she chickened out at the critical moment and that she was actually a coward who was afraid of death.
The dagger slipped weakly from her hand, fell onto the sea surface, and then slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
She collapsed in the sea, accepting the fate that was about to happen to her with disgust and contempt for herself.
That is...the price of being alive.
The blonde woman smiled self-deprecatingly, fearing that her crew members would never believe until their death that their captain was actually a coward who feared death.
Just when the blonde woman had accepted her fate of being insulted.
The crew on the three-masted sailing ship seemed to have discovered something and stopped attacking the survivors on the distant sea.
In the captain's seat, the man with a shrimp claw in his right hand stood with his legs apart and leaned back arrogantly on the chair. He puffed on a cigar held between the claws while listening to the report from his men.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
The man rubbed his newly grown eyes with his other hand and said with a comfortable tone.
The subordinate swallowed his saliva and stammered:
"Captain! An ironclad ship just appeared at ten o'clock on the Prawn."
The man with a shrimp claw on his right hand sat up straight, kicked the woman in front of him away, stared at the sailor in front of him with ferocious eyes, and said sternly:
"What did you say?"
The man's body shuddered violently, and big drops of water slid down his face, and it was unclear whether it was sweat or rain.
Seeing that his subordinate was stuttering and unable to speak, the man cursed angrily:
"waste!"
Then, he lifted the robe in front of him to cover himself, and strode towards the lookout tower.
The woman who was kicked down on the deck climbed up from the deck without saying a word. She stood aside with lifeless and empty eyes, ignoring the greedy looks from the sailors around her.
On the observation deck, the man with shrimp claws snatched the telescope from his subordinate, and followed the same method to pull out his own eyeballs and put them into the hole of the telescope.
After receiving the reminder from his men, the man immediately spotted the ironclad ship sailing at the ten o'clock direction of their ship.
At the same time, a man and several women were seen standing on the balcony of the ironclad ship.
The other party seemed to be watching them over there, but what puzzled the man was why there were so few people on the other side's ironclad ship?
He scanned the ship from front to back several times, and only saw the few people standing on the balcony of the deck. There was no one else anywhere else.
Also, what's going on in the sea over there? Why is it so calm? Where are the waves?
The man's expression changed several times, and in just a moment, he made a decision.
“Evacuate immediately!”
The other party dared to cross the Thundering Sea with only a few people. It was obvious that they were very powerful. The calm sea was proof of that.
What kind of strength does it take to be able to calm the sea surface in the midst of a raging thundering sea?
Even if it's not strength, the other party should have a very powerful seal.
It is not a wise decision to conflict with such an opponent whose background is unknown.
It is better to leave temporarily, go around a long way, and then follow slowly. It will not be too late to take action after confirming the other party's background.
If he had the chance, he would definitely not miss the top-notch woman on the other ship.
Thinking of the people he had just seen, a hint of greed appeared in the man's eyes.
But soon, he suppressed his greed and loudly ordered his men below:
"Evacuate here immediately!"
After saying this, he dug his eyeball out of the telescope again and put it into his mouth to eat.
On the sea, the blonde woman looked at the three-masted sailboat that suddenly left, a look of confusion appeared on her face.
Why did the other party leave?
But after a while, she roughly guessed why the three-masted sailing ship suddenly withdrew.
Because she also saw the huge steel ship sailing on the sea.
Is this another group of pirates? The woman thought silently.
After a few minutes, the surrounding sea gradually calmed down.
The sea area within a radius of 500 meters with the giant steel ship as the center is now as docile as an obedient child.
The blonde woman looked at the huge steel ship that was approaching, and her eyes shook slightly.
On the sea, the few surviving crew members gathered around the blonde woman, staring at the giant steel ship in front of them with vigilant eyes.
