Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 230 Captain Odysseus's Strength
In the carriage, Odysseus handed Bazel two shields: "This shield is enough to block the enemy's first volley, but the second volley will be difficult to block.

"So we have to take the initiative completely before the other side fires two salvos.

“The specific tactics are, I’ll launch a round of attack first, and you help me block their volleys.

"Then I'll deal with the two Sequence 7s, and you handle the others."

Bazel was stunned: "You..."

"Don't worry, I'm sure." Odysseus smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, if there's a huge explosion, don't panic, I caused it."

Basel didn't say anything else, but he re-evaluated the strength of the person in front of him in his heart.

"We've been chatting for a while, but you still don't seem to know my name." Odysseus said, "You can call me Captain Gar... well, although my ship hasn't been built yet.

"But we should be able to get in the water soon."

Bazel suddenly felt that he seemed a little unreliable. The ship hadn't been built yet, but he already claimed to be the captain?

However, there are many weirdos on the sea, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he asked, "Why do you want to invite me to be your crew member?"

"I don't know if the rumors on the sea are true, but I think you must have been fighting with the 'Red Lion' pirate group for some reason." Odysseus said.

Bazel took a deep breath and said, "I'm not entirely seeking revenge for 'Severed Finger', because he wasn't a good father, but he was a good captain.

"Compared to him, the other crew members are more like my family. The first mate died in the pursuit of 'Red Lion' Taylor just to protect me.

"I...I feel like I have to do something for them."

Odysseus smiled and said, “Friendship is something that is scarce on the sea.

"In my opinion, if a person is so cold-blooded that he doesn't care about his family and friends, he is not trustworthy.

“Some people think it’s ridiculous to talk about friendship on the sea, but it is the basis for building mutual trust. It is precious precisely because it is scarce.

"You're not very strong, but you possess a 'friendship' that many strong people lack. This is what I admire most about you, and it's also your most valuable quality."

Bazel nodded seriously: "I will seriously consider it."

Odysseus said "hmm", and the two of them stopped talking and made final preparations and adjustments.

After arriving in the suburbs by carriage, they hurried away from the road and headed for the woods on the edge of the city.

Blue Mountain Island is a tropical area with lush vegetation, and outside the city are undeveloped forests.

The cultivated land is some distance away from the city.

Here, the bright lights of the city seem to be very far away.

After arriving in the woods, the people behind simply began to follow them openly.

After walking in the dark woods for about a few minutes, Odysseus looked back and saw that Bayam's lights were completely blocked by the trees. They were far enough away from the city.

So he put on his hat with force, and then put on the black glove slowly.

Bazel stopped tacitly, put one of the shields on his back, held the other shield in one hand, and pointed the gun at the pirates with the other hand.

The pirates also drew their guns. All they needed was a signal and a big fight would begin!

The signal came very quickly, and Basel's spirit suddenly sensed the danger, and he subconsciously put up a shield in front of him.

At this moment, the figure of Sandra, the first mate of the "Red Lion" pirate group, suddenly appeared from the darkness. She held a dagger in her hand and delivered a "fatal blow" to Bazel.

Odysseus smiled, took out a small mirror from his right hand which had been in his pocket, and threw it towards Sandra.

He knew that in the dark environment, Sandra would definitely use her "invisibility" ability to try a sneak attack.

So Odysseus deliberately came to the dark woods to create an opportunity for her.

When Sandra saw the small mirror flying towards her, she suddenly had a bad premonition and twisted her body to avoid it, but she was still a step too late. Several thick strands of hair instantly wrapped her into a black "cocoon" with only her head exposed.

This was the spoils Odysseus had obtained when the Moss Ascetic Order launched its first round of attacks on him during Backlund's time.

Although the level is not high, it is very useful at the right time.

For example, now, luring Sandra out is the first step, and tying her up is the second step.

At this time, Odysseus looked at Sandora's subordinates. Now it was time for the third step.

The pirates didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the first mate was tied up like a "cocoon".

But they were not panicked, believing that they had an absolute advantage in numbers.

So under the command of the battle captain Bowen, the pirates who had already drawn their guns started the first round of volleys. For a while, the sound of "bang bang bang" was heard in the woods.

Basel followed the tactics previously agreed upon, holding up a shield to block himself and Captain Gal, and the bullets hit the shield.

After a round of volleys, the shield was covered with bullet holes.

At this time, Odysseus quickly took out two handfuls of powder from his pocket and sprinkled them out. The powder spread in the dark woods, and many of the surrounding trees suddenly disappeared. Instead, hundreds of thick wooden stakes appeared in the air.

At this time, the enemy's first round of volleys ended, and the shield was scrapped.

The next second, the wooden stakes in the air suddenly stabbed towards the pirates.

From the moment the wooden stakes appeared to the moment they flew towards them, the speed was so fast that most people didn't have time to react before they were pierced by one or several wooden stakes, falling to the ground and dying on the spot.

The rest of the people hid behind the trees.

Odysseus continued his attack, pulling out a red axe from his backpack and throwing it towards where the battle captain Bowen was hiding.

Bazel also came to his senses, threw away the shield in his hand, took out another shield, and pointed his gun at Sandra who was struggling.

Odysseus, who suddenly stood behind a tree, said, "Don't attack her."

Bazel suddenly understood and lamented how foolish he was. If he attacked Sandra, it would give her the opportunity to use her substitute to escape, so it would be better to deal with her at the last moment.

He didn't react for a moment because he couldn't keep up with Odysseus's attack pace at all, or perhaps this battle was beyond his expectations. He was prepared for a fierce battle, but ended up becoming just an assistant.

Boom~
As soon as Basel realized this, he was knocked back a few steps by the huge air wave.

He was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Captain Gal had reminded him not to panic if he encountered a powerful explosion.

But he hadn't expected such a powerful force. Just now, he'd thought it was a large-caliber naval gun from a warship firing in his direction. The blast also sent up a lot of wood chips, which pierced Bazel. But he couldn't care less about these minor injuries. He couldn't figure out how Captain Gal had done it.
At this time, Bowen and others were also stunned by the explosion. One of the deputy captains was directly blown half to pieces, and Bowen was also seriously injured.

Odysseus, the only one who was not affected, took out a straight sword from his backpack and ran towards the enemy quickly.

Bazel also reacted, leaving Sandra behind and quickly followed.

In the dark woods, Odysseus, who has the ability of "Eye of Prying Eyes", still has a good vision. He rushed behind the tree where the enemy was hiding, but found that the battle captain Bowen had limped away for a distance.

Odysseus casually threw a "thunderstorm bomb" at other enemies.

The pirates who were hiding behind the tree and pointing their guns at him were so scared that they rolled over and dodged.

yah~
A silver-white light quickly spread and penetrated into the ground.

The light expanded, forming a continuously flickering semicircular arc. The arc instantly expanded to about five meters, accommodating all the pirates in the range.

Whether the pirates were crawling on the ground or covering their heads to avoid the explosion, they were all shaking from the electric shock.

However, the range of the "thunderstorm bomb" was limited, and several pirates still escaped. But Basel had already come over with his shield raised and fired at them continuously.

Odysseus raised his hand and used "Imprisonment" on the escaped combat captain Bowen!
The air around Bowen suddenly became sticky, trapping him in place. Odysseus stepped forward quickly: "Death!"

In fact, Bowen was already seriously injured at this time, and even if he did not use the "Hand of Judgment" to attack, it would be difficult for Bowen to escape.

But at this time, of course, we have to use the strongest attack to end the battle as quickly as possible, because there is also a "witch" tied up over there who needs to be dealt with.

Bowen was hit by a punch from Odysseus and fell to the ground, almost dead.

Odysseus stabbed his opponent in the heart with a sword and released lightning.

The new combat captain of the "Red Lion" pirate group died instantly.

Odysseus dragged Bowen's body to the other side of the battlefield.

At this time, Basel's attack was more like a one-sided massacre.

Just now, he was protected by his shield, blocking all the pirates' bullets, so he strode forward and shot at the enemy as he walked.

Until he had fired all the bullets from his three revolvers, a total of 18 bullets, he easily killed five enemies under the protection of the shield.

Then he drew his dagger and walked towards the enemies who were still in the "paralyzed" state.

At this time, Odysseus left Bowen's body on the battlefield, and he quickly went to deal with Sandra.

But just after taking a few steps, a bunch of orange flames ignited around Sandora, and the person who tied up Sandora's hair quickly hid back in the small mirror as if afraid of the flames.

Odysseus did not move forward, but stared ahead with a vigilant look.

A middle-aged man wearing a captain's hat, with two long mustaches and a sinister face, walked out of the woods.

Bazel, who was standing by, said coldly, "'Red Lion' Taylor."

Taylor sneered at Bazel, then glanced at Odysseus and made a "retreat" gesture to Sandora.

Sandra retreated first, and Taylor watched the two people who were behind him, and soon disappeared into the dark woods.

Except for Bazel, no one spoke during the entire process. To Odysseus, Taylor was at least a Sequence 6. Although he had the "Hand of Judgment", who could guarantee that Taylor didn't have any powerful magical items?

Moreover, Sandra has regained her freedom, and two Sequence 7s are not sure enough to defeat a Sequence 6 and a Sequence 7, so in this case, Odysseus will not take the initiative to attack.

For Taylor, he didn't know Odysseus's background, but just from Odysseus's performance in the battle just now, he knew that this guy was not simple.

So when the intelligence is unclear, he will choose to withdraw.

Odysseus looked at the place where the other party had retreated for a while. After making sure that the other party had really retreated, he stepped forward to pick up the mirror.

He said to Bazel, who was standing there with his fist clenched, "Very good."

The worst thing just now was that Basel lost his composure and rushed towards the enemy.

In that case, Odysseus had no choice but to fight the opponent.

Bazel let out a long breath, as if all his strength had been used up. Then he said to Odysseus, "I will join your pirate group. Please help me get revenge."

Meeting Taylor just now made Basel realize again the gap between himself and Taylor.

He had originally thought that after he was promoted to Sequence 7, the gap would be narrowed a lot, but that was not the case. The gap between the two was still huge.

The calmness and strength shown by "Captain Gal" made him change his previous opinion.

In Basel's opinion, the enemy, who he could not deal with alone and could only seek help from strangers, was completely crushing for "Captain Gal". Basel knew very well that he had only played the role of an assistant just now.

Even when "Red Lion" Taylor suddenly appeared, "Captain Gal" did not show any panic, which showed that he was confident enough in his own strength.

"I promise you that I will help you get revenge in the near future," Odysseus said, "and you are now my first mate."

Bazel immediately said, "Yes, Captain Gal."

Odysseus felt that the call of "Captain Garr" sounded very satisfying. He smiled and ordered, "Now pack up the spoils quickly and leave here as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he sprinkled out a handful of bone-white powder. This powder had certain "Death God" abilities and could accelerate the emergence of Beyonder characteristics.

They cut off the heads of all the wanted criminals. Although they failed to capture Sandra, there were still two pirates with wanted bounties among the dead pirates, and the total bounty was 700 pounds.

At this time, the extraordinary characteristics have basically been revealed.

Odysseus put away these extraordinary characteristics, and the two of them quickly separated and returned to Bayam.

More than an hour later, Odysseus returned to the "Wizard's Office". He took a quick look at his gains tonight. There was a "Weapon Master" trait, a "Raging People" trait, and a "Provocateur" trait.

There are also three Sequence 9 traits, two "Hunter" and one "Sailor".

The "Sailor" and "Angry People" traits sell well at sea and can both fetch a good price.

However, other features are not so easy to sell and need to be kept on hand for a while.

Another hour passed and Bazel returned. "Captain, I've handed the heads over to the navy. The bounty will be collected in the next two days."
