Chapter 458: Action on Screaming Island

Wubei Port.

With the continuous investment of manpower, this port now has a rough prototype.

According to the estimate of the person in charge, Eimeng, as long as there is another year or so of construction time, it will be mostly finished and can be used ahead of schedule.

The simple pier has been extended, and the Dawn from the New Moon Continent is docked here; this ship has now become Ximeng's office.

After so many days, this blacksmith has adapted to life at the port. Every day, besides repairing ships and presiding over the construction of new ones, he spends the rest of his time either cultivating or eating barbecue and drinking the distilled liquor unique to Shanlin Town with Ruige and the others stationed here.

Many people are not used to this spicy taste, but he finds it very enjoyable, especially when he takes a sip while forging; his whole body feels full of energy.

This noon, Ruige boarded the Dawn with barbecue and fine wine.

He knows that this dark-skinned uncle on the ship is an honored guest of Wubei Territory, and he also knows that the other party is a powerhouse.

Whether it is to entertain an honored guest or out of selfish motives to get close to a powerhouse in hopes of getting some pointers, Ruige's actions are reasonable.

"You're here, Ruige!"

Ximeng rubbed his palms and put down the polished part in his hand, "Did you bring the liquor?"

Ruige lifted the white porcelain bottle in his hand: "Haha, I could forget anything else, but I wouldn't forget this!"

Ximeng hurriedly ran over to take it: "It's too little, you'd better get me a vat next time!"

"I asked the brewer; this liquor was just developed by the Lord, so large-scale production will probably take some time."

The two set up a small table on the deck and began to eat and drink.

Before long, a Knight patrolling the shore stepped onto the ship quickly, "Captain, there is a ship approaching on the sea!"

Ruige hurriedly threw away the meat in his hand and stood up.

Their squad is stationed here precisely to prevent enemy sneak attacks.

It's just that for these past few days, the sea has been calm, and it seems no enemy has been eyeing this place.

He took out his Telescope and saw the flag hanging on the ship at a glance, his heart jolting: "It's pirates, the Ghost Tide Pirate Group!"

After the shock came joy.

It's good to have enemies; with enemies, there is military merit.

He was still feeling stifled that he didn't have a chance to participate in the battle to attack Moonlight Valley this time.

"Go, everyone listen up, assemble and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Let me see?"

Ximeng walked over and took the Telescope handed over by Ruige, "It is indeed the pirate flag Lisi mentioned, but why is there only one ship?"

Ruige frowned; he had just been too happy and hadn't noticed that the other party only brought one ship.

"They want to attack Wubei Territory with just one ship? The other party is looking down on us too much!"

Soon, the ship arrived at a place one hundred meters away from the port.

However, it did not continue forward but stopped in place.

Ruige on the shore had already led his men to stand by in full battle array, but they were in an awkward position facing this situation.

Because Lisi took the trained naval forces to Jiliu Island, they have no usable ships here; if the other party doesn't land, they really have no way to deal with them.

For Along time, the pirate ship had no movement.

Ruige wondered, "Could it be that they are just passing by and not here to attack us?"

But soon, firelight lit up on the ship.

With a hum, a fire snake twenty or thirty meters long shot out from the pirate ship, carrying flames and huge impact force, booming toward the various facilities made of iron wood at the port!

Ruige's eyes widened suddenly, "It's a Magic Cannon, they are specifically attacking the port!"

Only at this moment did he realize the other party's goal.

He leaped, wanting to intercept before the crimson fire snake arrived, but it was clearly not as fast as the Magic.

Just as the fire snake was about to destroy the port building, Ximeng's figure appeared in front of the fire snake and shattered it with one punch.

"Luoning's prediction was really accurate; I didn't expect you to really come for the port."

He took a step and flew through the air, arriving in front of the pirates who were preparing to fire a second shot but were scared out of their wits by the scene before them.

Ximeng kicked the gunner away, confiscated the Magic Cannon, and then drew the other party's sword and held it to their neck.

"If you don't want to die, dock the ship at the pier now."

The pirates had intended to fire a shot and leave, so the most powerful person on the ship was the gunner, a Silver Knight. In front of Ximeng, a Silver Moon Knight, they were no different from little chicks.

The crisis at Wubei Port was resolved calmly just like that.

At the same time, Jiliu Island was equally restless.

On the vast sea, five warships traveled together, aiming directly at Jiliu Island.

Standing at the bow of the middle warship was a tall Knight, who was none other than Partridge, the Viscount of Crescent Island who owed allegiance to the Fleming Family.

As a Meteor Knight, he didn't take this mission to heart at all; in his view, conquering Jiliu Island was as easy as going out for a trip.

Dispatching five warships was a bit of a waste.

"Viscount, that mountain ahead is Jiliu Island," the captain said, pointing to the land protruding from the sea ahead.

Partridge supported the railing with both hands, in high spirits: "Order the ships to prepare landing tools and get ready for battle!"

Whoosh~

Just at this moment, a violent gust of wind blew past, and the originally clear sky suddenly darkened, as if the sun had been blocked by dark clouds.

Partridge subconsciously looked up at the sky, and with just this one look, he fell into a state of astonishment.

"By the Seven Gods, what, what is this monster!"

The huge black shadow in the air was as long as a warship, and its wingspan was seventy or eighty meters long, truly blotting out the sky and sun!

Partridge was also a man who had seen the world, but facing the oncoming Kaierluosi, he admitted that he was terrified.

"Is it a passing Magic Beast?"

Partridge prayed in his heart, "However, the outside world says Luoning seems to have a dragon..."

In the air, Kaierluosi was gliding.

On its back, Kalada sat trembling, holding a Telescope and looking at the five warships below.

"Mr. Dragon, I recognize the person standing at the bow of the middle ship; he is the Meteor Knight Partridge, a vassal belonging to Screaming Island, and should be the commander of this pirate fleet."

As his voice fell, in front of him, flames formed a string of text: "I know!"

This was the way Kaierluosi communicated with outsiders.

Kaierluosi suddenly changed direction in the air, and the airflow surged wildly; if Kalada had not been restrained by the other party, he would likely have fallen straight down.

"It's coming!"

Partridge's eyes widened: "As expected, it is coming for us!"

He roared madly: "Everyone, aim the Magic Cannons at the monster in the sky, fire at will!"

Facing such a huge Magic Beast, everyone was terrified, but Partridge's voice made them take action subconsciously.

Instantly, on the five warships, a total of ten Magic Cannons fired at Kaierluosi like fireworks, with a thunderous momentum.

This scene made Kalada's back feel cold; if the dragon were not here, Jiliu Island would definitely have been blown to pieces by the Magic Cannons in this battle.

Facing such a bombardment, Kaierluosi snorted white mist from its nose to express its anger.

Immediately after, it opened its blood-red maw, and majestic, magma-like flames poured down, intercepted the Magic Cannon attacks under Kaierluosi's control.

It spun in the air and spat out another five or six-meter-long Ice Arrow, which crashed into the middle ship with a boom.

In the face of the dragon's mobility, no matter how Partridge maneuvered the ships, he could not escape the fate of being bombed; they were like targets placed on the sea surface.

That huge Ice Arrow magnified, magnified, and magnified again in his pupils, finally crashing onto the deck and exploding, and the sturdy warship immediately began to fall apart.

Partridge leaped, wanting to jump onto another ship.

But he only felt a hurricane blow past, then his body tightened, and when he saw his surroundings clearly again, he discovered that he had already been gripped in the dragon's sharp claws.

As long as Kaierluosi was willing, with just a slight squeeze, he would explode.

This was a complete dimensional strike.

At the same time, on Jiliu Island, Lisi and Lusen led the warships to sail away from the port.

Such warships were each worth five or six thousand gold coins; if they were all burned by fire, it would be a great pity.

Therefore, they prepared to board the ships to fight after dealing with the troublesome fellows, in order to seize as many of these warships as possible for themselves. (End of chapter)
