Chapter 295: Brotherhood' Attacks
"It appeared! The 'Golden King' appeared!"
One sentence ignited the entire Oak Barrel tavern.
As the biggest event on the ocean recently, everyone was interested in the news that the 'Golden King' had encountered a storm and disappeared as soon as it went out to sea.
"The 'Golden King' appeared?"
"Is it that 'Golden King'?"
"Where did it appear?"
"Did the Kingdom of Lisi find Treasure Island? So fast?"
Questions poured out of the mouths of pirates, sailors, and tavern guests, but no one got an answer. The guy who came to report the news just left a sentence, "'The Golden King' appeared in our Pales waters!" and rushed toward the next tavern.
And everyone in the tavern rushed onto the street as if they were crazy. Suddenly, the entire street was filled with sounds of people asking each other for news.
Looking at the empty tavern and the dwarf still drinking heavily beside the counter, Nie Yingying couldn't help but sigh that human nature was even more naked and flamboyant in this pirate paradise.
"See! This is why taverns have to collect money first when selling wine!"
The old dwarf didn't care, raising his wine glass to Nie Yingying as a tribute.
"Such scenes happen every ten days or half a month, outsider, no need to be too surprised!"
Nie Yingying immediately heard the well-intentioned hint in the old dwarf's words. In such a pirate paradise, all kinds of news fly everywhere every day, and most of them are fake news. There is no need to waste time on such things.
Nodding in thanks, Nie Yingying and the others walked out of the tavern gate and were immediately shocked by the messy street in front of them. It turns out that human nature can really be greedy enough to be blinded by a piece of news of unknown authenticity.
The most critical thing is, what use is this news to them?
"Do they really dare to attack the 'Golden King'?"
"Hehe, they didn't dare to originally!" 'Shouhou' followed up with a giggle. "But isn't it said that the 'Golden King' has been severely damaged under the ravages of the storm! And the fleet originally formed has also fallen behind because of the storm. Now only the 'Golden King' main ship has returned from the north."
"North?"
Nie Yingying immediately grasped the key point in 'Shouhou's' words.
She took the 'Night Skeleton' and pulled the ship speed to the max all the way. Although they were delayed at 'Black Lake Island', it was only two days missed by time calculation, and the 'Night Skeleton' had set off a week in advance.
They had only just arrived in Pales, so how could the 'Golden King' have run ahead of them and returned from the north instead.
"Yes, it is confirmed that it returned from the north. Everyone is curious about this point, but one thing can be confirmed: the 'Golden King' has indeed returned and is now docked in Pales Port. Someone who returned from the main island confirmed it."
Duanmu Xing's eyes immediately lit up.
"Sure enough, Sister Vivian and Sister Agatha are fine, that's great! Sister Nie, are we going to see them?"
Nie Yingying pondered for a long time but still shook her head.
"No, it's enough to know they are fine! Now with their return to port, the entire Pales Archipelago is boiling, and who knows what will happen in the next few days! We still have to leave quickly. Healing your Brother Yao's wounds is the priority. I don't want to waste our time pulling and dragging with other pirates. If the 'Night Skeleton' is damaged again and affects the sailing speed, it will be even more troublesome!" Nie Yingying said, her eyes becoming more determined. "'Shouhou', how is the resupply?"
"Big Sister, the resupply is ready! The brothers have all boarded the ship!"
"Good, let everyone board the ship, we'll leave directly while it's dark!"
"Ah?!"
"Ah what ah! Didn't you say the 'Night Skeleton' is faster at night?"
"It is faster at night, but... but the brothers... guarantee to complete the mission, Big Sister, we can set off in an hour!"
Noticing Nie Yingying's increasingly dangerous eyes, Mei Pengcheng immediately promised loudly.
What human rights and rest do pirates need? As pirates, they must love sailing and love traveling. Most importantly—they must love life, especially their own lives!
Thus, amidst the return of countless ships to Pales Port, a gloomy ship sailed out against the current under the cover of night, heading toward the open sea.
"Sister Nie, look, it's really the 'Golden King'!"
On the deck of the 'Night Skeleton', Duanmu Xing held Nie Yingying's finger and pointed to the galleon that was getting smaller and smaller in the distance: "I don't know what Sister Vivian and the others encountered, actually causing such a large ship to suffer such damage, even breaking a mast."
"Don't worry! When my blood bat returns, I'll know what they experienced!"
Although Nie Yingying decided not to meet, since they were already so close, they still had to contact each other.
"Wow! Such a big fish! I caught a fish!"
Just when Nie Yingying and Duanmu Xing were waiting on the deck for Nie Yingying's blood magic to return, Xie Yaoyao's laughter came from the stern. This guy, although he had been giggling since he became silly, didn't laugh out loud most of the time. Now he was actually laughing heartily, obviously very happy.
"Brother Yao actually really caught a fish! So amazing! Actually really can catch fish without a fishhook!"
Just at this moment, a ship that was originally returning to port suddenly turned and drove toward the 'Night Skeleton', hanging up a flag while driving.
Although covered by the night, Mei Pengcheng, the 【Pirate Captain】 who had a great bonus on the sea, still saw the other party's flag was a black flag.
And unlike the ordinary black flag, the pattern on that black flag was not a skull and crossbones, but a white bone broken anchor pattern.
"Broken anchor black flag, that's the 'Brotherhood's' ship, but why are they heading toward us... hey! And they're accelerating!"
Although 'Shouhou' didn't understand the other party's intention, raising a black flag on the ocean and then accelerating to charge undoubtedly already indicated the other party's attitude.
"Prepare for battle... eh! Really so strange! The other party actually didn't shell us! Whatever, brothers, prepare for boarding battle!"
Boarding battle, in a one-on-one situation, the 'Night Skeleton' was not afraid on the ocean, after all, they had extra help.
"Hahaha, haven't stretched my muscles for a long time. The 'Brotherhood' actually dared to pull the tiger's whiskers of our 'Night Skeleton' with just one ship, really seeking death!"
"Exactly, it seems they don't know our power! Captain, hurry and release the Yin corpses to help fight!"
Compared to the high enthusiasm of the 'Night Skeleton' side, the 'Brotherhood' side seemed a bit strange. After they approached and jumped to board, although they were also shouting and killing loudly, 'Shouhou' always felt that these guys were peeking around sneakily, and even the battle used a conservative tactic. ===== CHAPTER 296 =====
