Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 272 Extraordinary Puppet Kills All Around (Today's Updates)
Regarding the specific time of the attack by the "Deep Blue" pirate group, Odysseus and the people of Cruz Island have a relatively consistent idea: this weekend or early next week.

This is the result obtained based on time calculation.

More than ten days ago, Press and others had a breakdown in negotiations with the people sent by the "Deep Blue" Pirates, and Press killed several people from the "Deep Blue" Pirates.

According to the time calculation, the "Deep Blue" pirate group will be able to complete the preparations and return to Cruz Island in these ten days.

The reason why it took so long to complete the preparations was, on the one hand, because Captain Egbert of the Ghost did not expect that the negotiation would have such an outcome.

According to the confessions forced upon members of the Deep Blue Pirates by Press and others, their captain was already at Midway Island on the Central Route, purchasing equipment for mining.

It can be seen that Egbert did not realize that Press and others would refuse his conditions and kill his people.

The people he sent to Cruz Island were more to inform the people of Cruz Island than to negotiate.

Besides, this is also a common tactic used by pirates.

During these ten days, the people of Cruz Island must have lived in worry and terror. When the pirates really arrived, many people's psychological defenses might have collapsed.

The fact is just as Egbert expected. Nearly half of the people from the Northern Continent living in the port have fled to the surrounding islands and are ready to join the "Deep Blue" pirate group at any time.

This result is not bad for Odysseus. Although the time is a bit tight, there is still one or two days to prepare.

The deployment was completed on Saturday, and the "Deep Blue" pirate group appeared on Sunday.

However, what appeared was not their fleet, but a single ship, heading towards "Moon Bay".

The entire port immediately became tense. Many residents even took their long-prepared luggage and fled to the mountains. Some also planned to look for their families who were ambushed in the north of the island or on Lighthouse Hill.

Odysseus was too lazy to stop them. He came to the dock of the port town alone and looked at the approaching ship.

The streets were in chaos at this time, adults were running in panic, many children were crying loudly, and incidents of robbery and fights often occurred.

Former mayor Press was shouting loudly, but without the help of the police, no one took his words seriously.

When Price saw Odysseus, he ran over and asked, "Where are the reinforcements?"

Odysseus glanced at the ship that was slowly sailing towards Moon Bay and asked, "What reinforcements?"

"Your guess is completely wrong!" Press finally mustered up the courage to say, "Egbert saw through your plan and sent ships to attack our port directly!

"Didn't I tell you that the harbor is full of Egbert's people? He already knew about your..."

Odysseus raised his hand and asked, "Is that Egbert's flagship, the Ghost?"

Pres was stunned: "No, it's not."

"So which ship of the Deep Blue pirate group is this?" Odysseus handed the telescope to Price. "Look for yourself and tell me which ship it is."

Press took a closer look and was surprised to find: "Isn't it the ship of the 'Deep Blue' pirate group?"

"Fools!" Odysseus said coldly, "The enemy just sent a target to test you, and you're so scared."

Of course he knew that not long after he landed on the island, Egbert learned that the "Sword of Dawn" pirate group had landed.

In Odysseus's opinion, the "Red Lion" pirate group had been eliminated for several days, and Egbert must have heard some news about the "Sword of Dawn" pirate group.

But he certainly had no way of verifying the authenticity of the news. For Egbert, who had a ghost ship, it didn't matter even if most of the news was true.

His ghost ship gives him enough confidence.

However, to be on the safe side, we still have to send a ship, fly our own pirate flag, to test the firepower.

Of course, Odysseus would not give him such an opportunity. From the early morning of that day, the "Argo" began to sail around the island.

Because Odysseus realized that this was a test, he did not plan to use the weapons on the "Argo" to fight. When he came, he had already stopped the "Argo" on the west side of the island.

Odysseus looked at Press, whose expression was very rich, and said, "What are you waiting for here? Go organize the two teams under your command to maintain order!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Press then shouted, "Idiots, open your eyes and take a good look. That is not Egbert's ship at all!

"There are no cannons or sailors on board! Don't run away! Egbert hasn't arrived yet!"

These words played a significant role, at least calming down most of the panicked residents.

Odysseus had already noticed that it was a medium-sized merchant ship, and it looked like it had just been robbed by the "Deep Blue" pirate ship.

Before entering "Moon Bay", the crew and sailors on the ship waved white sheets to indicate their willingness to surrender.

At this time, the residents had basically calmed down. Press and his subordinates spontaneously came to the dock and watched the ship slowly sail into "Moon Bay".

Odysseus said to Press beside him, "Hold the boat and tell them to stop in the middle of Moon Bay. All the crew members should swim over."

Press immediately asked several of his loud-voiced subordinates to shout together, and the people on the merchant ship obediently stopped the boat in the middle of the "Moon Lake". The crew members jumped into the water one by one and swam towards the dock.

This time, without Odysseus's order, Press quickly asked his subordinates to prepare ropes and wait near the dock, waiting to tie them up as soon as they came ashore.

More than twenty minutes later, the dozen or so crew members were tied up and brought before Odysseus.

Odysseus asked, "When did you encounter the Deep Blue pirate group?"

One of the middle-aged men, a somewhat balding man, said, "The day before yesterday... sir, we are not pirates. We were simply forced by Egbert to fly the pirate flag."

Odysseus hummed, "Are you from this ship...?"

"First mate," the bald middle-aged man said immediately, "I'm the first mate on the Monis. The captain has been killed."

Odysseus nodded and said, "There should be pirates among you, right?"

"I don't know," the first mate said. "There are more than a dozen of us from several different ships, all captured by Egbert."

To be precise, it was the surviving prisoners.

Odysseus was about to take out the "Faceless Pendant" for identification, but suddenly thought that he should scare Press and others again.

So he said, "Keep an eye on them. I'll be right back."

Without waiting for Press and others to answer, Odysseus had already thrown out a "flying scroll" and flew towards the southern plains.

When Press and others saw this scene, they all exclaimed in surprise.

Many people had seen Donahue and others flying back before, but they couldn't explain how they suddenly learned to fly. They only knew that it was related to "Captain Gal".

Now the people on the dock knew that Captain Gal could really fly! And he could give others the ability to fly.

They still didn't understand what was going on, but they all admired or feared "Captain Gal" even more.

Of course, Odysseus flew away like this on purpose, just to create enough mystery.

This is also a question that Odysseus has thought about in recent days. Even if he becomes the mayor, he cannot completely use his own authority to rule the town like an ordinary mayor, but must have enough mystery.

After all, he is an extraordinary person of the "Mystery Peeper" path. After reaching the "Mid-Sequence", if he himself has a sense of mystery, he can get very good feedback from the reactions of the people around him.

Most of the time, this is part of the role.

"Scroll Professors" don't have much demand for this, but "Wizards", "Astrologers", and higher sequences all have similar needs.

So Odysseus thought that he should make himself mysterious enough as soon as he arrived at Cruz Island.

Soon, Odysseus returned with Noy and pointed at the crew members, saying, "There should be a few pirates among them. Come and identify them."

This is not difficult to guess. The ship called "Monis" was here to test the firepower.

Placing a few pirates on this ship can monitor the captives and prevent them from firing if their purpose of testing firepower is discovered.

These pirates can also enter the port naturally and contact the spies in the town when the time is right.

Normally, even if Odysseus fired at them, they would have enough time to jump into the sea and swim away.

Of course, that's under normal circumstances. If they encounter the "Spirit Wave Cannon", they won't be able to escape.

After hearing the captain's order, Noy took out a coin and, while playing with it, asked the man who had just claimed to be the first mate, "Are you a member of the Deep Blue pirate group?"

The first mate replied, "No."

Noy flipped the coin, looked at the divination result, and then walked over to the second person. "Are you a member of the Deep Blue Pirates?"

I asked several people in a row, flicking a coin after each question.

Price and the others were completely bewildered. They didn't know what this lady was doing, but they didn't dare to ask.

When the fifth person was asked, Noy flicked out the coin, caught it, and said to Odysseus in surprise, "He's a pirate!"

Odysseus walked over, pulled out the revolver he was carrying, and shot the pirate in the head.

He hadn't carried a gun for some time, and now he carried a revolver again, mainly for deterrence, and it was also convenient to use in situations like this.

bang~
The pirate was about to make a few excuses when a bullet pierced his head and he fell to the ground bleeding.

This made Press and the others swallow their saliva, and they felt that the bullet penetrated the pirate's head and hit their heads.

Before this, although they all knew that the person in front of them was the captain of a pirate group, they had no specific concept.

Seeing him kill a pirate without even interrogating him, they suddenly had a concrete idea of the captain of the pirate group.

Noy continued to identify another pirate. Odysseus approached with his gun, but before he could raise it, the pirate had already fallen to his knees. "Don't shoot! Don't shoot! I...I know there's an informant in this town, planted by the captain. If you don't kill me, I'll help you find him."

Odysseus nodded and said to Press, "Shut his mouth. I will interrogate him later."

Press was stunned. Wouldn't it be enough to interrogate those spies now? Why did they have to interrogate them individually later?

However, he no longer dared to question Captain Gal's orders, and immediately had the pirate's mouth blocked and carefully tied up.

Just as Noy was about to continue screening, another pirate among the remaining crew members knelt down and said that he could help catch the spy.

The rest of the people are just ordinary crew members.

Odysseus ordered these ordinary crew members to be locked up first, given some food and water, and asked the town doctor to check carefully to see if anyone had an infectious disease.

Sometimes pirates would deliberately send captives infected with smallpox to a port, and soon the port would be ravaged by smallpox. The pirates would take advantage of this opportunity to suddenly attack the port.

They are a group of villains who can resort to any despicable means.

Especially when a battle with pirates is about to take place, and when there is an "extraordinary virus" in this world, you must be careful when checking the prisoners.

Regardless of whether the disease is detected or not, isolate yourself for a period of time first.

Then Odysseus asked Press to pick a few trusted subordinates, find a house with good sound insulation, and interrogate the two pirates.

But after taking the pirates into the room, Odysseus ordered: "No one should interrogate them, and no one should take out the things stuffed in their mouths."

Press was confused again: "No interrogation?"

Odysseus did not answer the other party, but said: "From now on, no one is allowed to leave here except me.

"Noi, watch them. Anyone who tries to leave here is a spy. Don't hesitate, shoot them."

"Yes." Noy moved a chair and sat at the door. He pulled out his revolver and looked at Press and others quietly.

Noy was not like Salina. She looked quite quiet, but at this moment she sat there quietly, with an imposing aura. Press and others immediately gave up the idea of going out.

Press smiled and said to Odysseus, "Mr. Mayor, is there some misunderstanding? I killed Egbert's crew, how could I be a spy?"

"I know you're not," Odysseus said, "but I need your cooperation now to catch those spies."

Price still didn't quite understand Odysseus's intention: "I...then why don't you interrogate these two people?"

Odysseus smiled and said, "I can tell from their looks that they only know one or two spies. They said that at the dock just to save their own skin.

"But we can't let them speak. Believe it or not, if they do, they will definitely accuse those few capable police officers among us of being spies.

"They even label some people who are genuinely willing to fight the Deep Blue Pirates as spies."

Press looked at the two pirates and saw fear in their eyes.

The former mayor took a deep breath. He knew very well that the two pirates' plans had been completely guessed by "Captain Gal".

Price also sat on the chair: "I will wait here until you let me out."

Then he said to several of his subordinates, "You must stay here too. Even when you pee, you must pee in pairs and keep an eye on each other.

"If anyone dares to go out that door, I will kill you without Ms. Noy having to shoot!"

Odysseus nodded with satisfaction: "Leave the rest to me."

He waited for another half an hour before going out and asked the two captains guarding the port to organize people to deliver food to the northern part of the island and the people ambushing on "Lighthouse Hill".

When giving the instructions, he casually said, "Today's task of preparing food is left to you. Press will slowly interrogate the two pirates today."

The two captains naturally inquired about the results of the interrogation.

Odysseus simply said, "I will first deal with the spies lurking in the north and on Beacon Hill, and then proceed with the next move."

In addition to these two captains, there were several other people present. It was obvious from what they heard that a lot of spies were found out.

This is reasonable. After all, they were all pirates. After this "Captain Gal" shot a pirate right at the beginning, they would definitely tell all the information they knew in order to save their lives.

Soon, the news spread throughout the town, and many people felt relieved.

Odysseus arrived at the positions in the north of the island and "Lighthouse Hill" successively. He did not kill anyone here, but only issued an order: whoever left here quietly was a spy and could be shot and killed immediately.

On that day, the "Deep Blue" pirate group did not launch any new offensive, and their presence was not even seen on the sea.

Only then did Odysseus deploy the "Extraordinary Puppets" to the position, and deployed an "Extraordinary Machine Gun" and an "Extraordinary Mortar" in the north and south of the island respectively.

These masked "crew members" attracted the attention of the people on Cruz Island, but they did not dare to look closely because they felt that those "crew members" looked like both humans and monsters, and seemed quite scary.

At nightfall, heavy fog arose on the sea. Due to poor visibility, the "Argo", which had been cruising, also stopped northwest of the island.

At around nine o'clock, Bazel, who was guarding the north, stared at the sea and fog in a daze. The captain had just come and told him to urge the sentries not to slack off.

Because the fog came so strangely, it was estimated that the pirates of the "Deep Blue" Pirate Group would definitely take advantage of the fog to land, but now Odysseus couldn't tell whether they would land from the south or the north.

Relatively speaking, the north is easier to defend because there are many reefs near the coast in this direction. Large ships cannot get too close to the shore and can only lower small boats and let the crew swim ashore quietly.

The reason why Odysseus believed that the enemy would definitely land here was because if they landed here, there was a certain probability that the defending party would be caught off guard.

Even if there were people stationed here, the pirates would definitely make some attempts.

Because the northern beach is very long, given the level of the residents on Cruz Island, it is impossible to spread out 300 people to guard the beach.

Then they will have a chance to land, and as long as they enter the rainforest, the three hundred people will not be able to stop them at all.

Just as he was thinking about this, a sentry came to report to Basel that they heard someone talking in the sea.

Basel immediately took two "extraordinary puppets" to check it out, but combat captain Cleveland and the dozens of police officers did not follow.

Arriving at the sentry's defense position, Basel first threw out a "Wind Scroll".

Call ~
The scroll exploded, and suddenly a strong wind blew up. The fog on the sea surface was immediately blown up and quickly blown away, creating a large space.

Then Bazel took out a "Scorching Sun Scroll" and stuffed it into the "Extraordinary Mortar" carried by the "Extraordinary Puppet" nearby: "Activate combat mode and fire into the air."

After receiving the order, the Extraordinary Puppet immediately knelt on one knee and pulled the trigger in the most standard posture. In addition to firing Extraordinary Shells, the Extraordinary Mortar also had another function: firing scrolls.

The scroll can be launched along with the "Extraordinary Cannonball". After the "Extraordinary Cannonball" explodes, the scroll will explode and release the corresponding extraordinary ability.

At this time, after the "Scorching Sun Scroll" was launched along with the "Extraordinary Cannonball", the "Extraordinary Cannonball" exploded in mid-air, and the "Scorching Sun Scroll" also exploded immediately.

For a moment, it seemed as if a small sun appeared in the sky, illuminating the sea in front of us clearly.

Basel saw that in the sea in front of him, there were two pirates sitting on a reef that protruded from the sea and chatting. It was obvious that they were trying to attract the attention of people on the shore.

And just where the "Scorching Sun Scroll" was about to reach, a large number of pirates were swimming towards the beach.

They were like undulating pottery jars, carrying weapons, quietly avoiding the reefs and swimming towards the shore.

This scene stunned the sentries. They were surprised and trembling, because Mr. Bazel was definitely too late to rush over to stop them.

If this group of people were allowed to land... they had even imagined the scene of their families being killed and the town being burned to the ground.

Bazel took a deep breath and said with a somewhat relieved tone, "I've finally waited for you!"

Then he ordered the "Extraordinary Puppet" who was carrying the "Extraordinary Machine Gun" beside him: "Shoot the two people chatting on the reef."

The two pirates were very cunning, and their location was even beyond the range of rifles.

However, what they didn't know was that they were within the range of the "Extraordinary Machine Cannon".

Ta da~
After receiving the order, the "Extraordinary Puppet" fired bursts of shots. One of the two pirates was immediately cut in half, and the other's left shoulder and head were blown off.

This scene made the sentries dumbfounded again. It was the first time they saw a gun with such great power and such a long range.

Then, they looked at the two "extraordinary puppets" with some fear. These two masked people always gave people the feeling that they were not living people.

Basel ordered several sentries to continue keeping watch, while he rushed to provide support with two "extraordinary puppets".

At this time, Cleveland had brought dozens of police officers and quickly came to the opposite side of the pirates who were landing.

He threw out a "Scorching Sun Scroll" with all his might, instantly illuminating the beach and the coast: "Free Fire!"

These police officers were all good shooters. As the gunshots rang out one after another, the pirates were killed or injured one by one.

They struggled hard in the sea, but still sank to the bottom of the sea little by little.

……

At this time, the young and middle-aged men stationed on the south coast of the island vaguely heard the gunshots. They suddenly became nervous and looked at "Captain Gal" who was sitting there motionless.

Captain Gal did not immediately give orders or respond, but seemed to be waiting for something.

But on the sea before them, there seemed to be nothing but fog.

At this time, they were hiding in the most prominent village on the south bank. In the fog, they hid behind the houses. It was difficult to find his trace on the beach.

Until the gunfire on the north bank became sparse, Odysseus felt that the time was almost right, and suddenly threw out a "Wind Scroll", and then did the same thing as Bazel, using the "Extraordinary Mortar" to launch a "Scorching Sun Scroll".

Under the intense light, the pirates had already landed on the beach not far from them.

Although it was not directly in front of the pirates, the "Extraordinary Machine Gun" was fully capable of hitting the pirates.

Odysseus said to the Extraordinary Puppet holding the Extraordinary Machine Gun: "Activate combat mode and shoot at the people on the beach."

Da da da da~
The "Extraordinary Puppet" pulled the trigger and a series of bullets were fired. Wells and others beside Odysseus saw a horrifying scene.

A straight line of orange-red bullets exploded on the beach. In the first two or three seconds, each shot could take one or two lives.

The pirate's body was completely vulnerable to the bullets and was ruthlessly torn apart by them, eventually falling to the ground in pieces.

The pirates on the beach were completely stunned for two or three seconds before they ran back screaming.

At this time, the people running back overlapped with those landing. Odysseus pointed to the location where the enemy was most concentrated and said to the "Extraordinary Puppet" carrying the "Extraordinary Mortar": "Fire there."

Boom~
The "Extraordinary Rocket" was about the same power as the "Explosive Scroll", and it blew away seven or eight pirates at once, leaving a large hole on the beach. The shock wave knocked the surrounding pirates to the ground.

This shot made the pirates cry out!

Odysseus immediately gave the order: "Advance and shoot at the enemy!"

The "extraordinary puppet" holding the "extraordinary machine gun" moved forward quickly. Its two legs were running wildly, but its upper body was very stable, shooting while running.

Soon, all the pirates who landed were wiped out.

Odysseus began to let the "Extraordinary Puppet" extend its shooting. Except for a few who escaped by diving, dozens of pirates were killed on the beach or in the sea.

Odysseus glanced at the sea and saw a ship in the mist.

However, the distance was too far, beyond the range of the "Extraordinary Mortar", and the "Extraordinary Machine Gun" had entered a resting phase at this time, so Odysseus did not continue to chase the escaped pirates.

I believe they will bring back news like this: the enemy has very powerful guns that can fire continuously, and also a portable cannon.

Then, based on the intelligence he had obtained, Egbert probably made a judgment on the firepower of the "Sword of Dawn" pirate group, and it was easy for him to be confused and mistook the "Extraordinary Machine Gun" for the "Extraordinary Machine Cannon".

Odysseus stretched out his hand and said, "Clean up the battlefield."

Wells, Grant and others were so frightened that they did not react for a while. It was not until Odysseus gave the order for the second time that they seemed to react and each brought the young men from their village to the beach.

After arriving at the beach, half of the people vomited first. There was a strong smell of blood, and broken limbs were everywhere. For those who had never seen such a scene, the first reaction was to vomit.

They really didn't expect that the battle would start in this way and end with complete fire suppression.

The war was over before they even saw the enemy's face.

"Don't make them wait too long." Odysseus said to Wells and the others, "Every second now is very painful for them."

Some of those who were seriously injured did not die yet and were still making heart-wrenching or weak cries.

Wells and others then understood why Captain Gal had called them here, so they took out their weapons and went to end their suffering.

Odysseus took a look at the port and felt a little worried, so he handed it over to Rupert and used the "Flying Scroll" to go to the port.

……

Port town.

The gunshots from the north shore sounded clearer here. When the gunshots rang out, many people went out to check the battle situation.

However, in the thick fog, nothing could be seen clearly, and only bursts of gunfire could be heard.

At this time, a thin middle-aged man took advantage of the cover of fog, quietly hid in the alley, and then quickly fled from here.

He was Egbert's informant and was originally one of the safest people on the island.

If Egbert wins, he won't be killed because he's an informant.

If the residents of the island win, no one will know his identity as an informant and he will be safe.

But now he is not safe, because two pirates from the "Deep Blue" pirate group were captured in the morning.

It was heard that they had confessed some of the people, and "Captain Gall" had gone to the north coast and "Lighthouse Hill" to arrest people.

The former mayor, Press, had not been seen for most of the day. He was probably interrogating the pirates and the people he had just captured.

The thin middle-aged man didn't know when they would give him up, so he decided to escape from the town first and come back after everything was over.

If you want to leave the town through the alley, you have to walk a long way. The thin middle-aged man, who was already in poor physical condition, ran out of breath and finally arrived at the edge of the town.

Until now, no one had noticed him, which made him very satisfied with the route he had chosen.

Just as he walked out of the town, he suddenly heard footsteps on his side and a serious voice said, "Stop!"

How could the lean middle-aged man possibly obey such an order? He turned and ran.

Salina, who was waiting nearby, rushed over like a gust of wind, and the fog was stirred up by the wind she brought.

She punched the lean middle-aged man and sent him flying: "I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?"

Then she rushed over and said to the young men who had come from the villages in the southern plains, "Tie him up."

At this time, Salina saw someone peeking out from the alley again: "Stand... Forget it, go to hell."

Kick the man away.

She brought young men from two villages to guard the town near the mountains, while Boris brought young men from four villages to guard the dock.

When Odysseus arrived, Salina had made a great harvest, having captured several people. Boris had made even greater gains, having captured more than a dozen people in a short time.

Only then did Odysseus release Press and others, and let Noy help the former mayor interrogate the spy who had just been caught.

Next, Odysseus went to the north coast, where the battle was also very successful. The pirates were blocked on the beach by dozens of guns.

Basel arrived with the "Extraordinary Puppet" and after a burst of gunfire, the pirates were immediately defeated, leaving behind more than 30 corpses and a dozen seriously injured pirates.

At this time, Basel was directing everyone to clean up the battlefield. The battlefield here was not as bloody as the one on the south coast of the island. The people who had just participated in the battle generally had smiles on their faces.

The battle killed so many pirates, and only five of their men were wounded.

They were injured not because of the pirates, but because they fell while running. Some of them had bloody heads and some even broke an arm.

For these untrained men, fighting at night in the jungle was inevitable.

Fortunately, the ending was good. Although the coastline on the north bank was long, Basel did not fall into the pirates' trap and did not easily mobilize the main force, which gave the dozens of police officers enough time to react.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Odysseus asked them to send someone back to the port to report the victory on the north shore.

Then, Odysseus began to count the spoils. The most notable captures were the three extraordinary characteristics.

Three Beyonder attributes were also seized on the North Shore, but their levels were not high, all being “low-sequence” attributes.

In addition, two bounty-laden heads were harvested, with a total value of only 500 pounds.

In other words, in the previous battle, the opponent's main force and important figures did not participate in the battle. This was actually a round of exploratory attack.

The rest of the spoils were weapons, which Odysseus simply gave to the people who participated in the battle.

After cleaning up the spoils, Sheriff Tom asked what to do with the injured pirate captives?

Odysseus glanced at him and said, "No prisoners!"

The battle had just begun, so he certainly wouldn't assign anyone to guard these unstable factors.

Tom's eyes narrowed: "Yes... yes..."

Nearing midnight, news of victory on the northern battlefield reached the small town. Everyone was jubilant, as if victory was just around the corner.

After interrogation, Press captured more than 30 spies.

As for these people, several were beaten to death by the residents, and the rest were injured.

Odysseus ordered them all to be locked up and dealt with after the battle.

At this time, Odysseus' orders would no longer encounter any obstacles, and everyone now obeyed the orders of "Captain Gal" wholeheartedly.

……

At night, in the turbulent eastern sea, in the cockpit of the "Future", the flagship of "Admiral of the Stars".

Cattleya stared blankly at the bookshelf in front of her. On the table in front of her was a copy of the Rorsted Daily, which had been delivered by her subordinates.

The front-page headline of this newspaper was the news from four days ago: the "Red Lion" pirate group was destroyed by a mysterious pirate ship.

After a while, Cattleya sighed, "Is that the flag of 'Elemental Dawn'?"

After seeing the news about the pirate ship called the "Argo", Cattleya had an inexplicable feeling in her heart. Usually, this feeling was caused by the spirit reminding her that this was very important news.

She felt that this ship must be very important to the "Mysterious Queen", and its importance might affect herself through the "Queen"?

……

On the island where the Abraham family’s “extraordinary transit station” is located.

The Creek pirate group had set up camp in front of the tall wall and had been waiting there for several days.

Tonight, no one slept, but stared at the illusory mirror that suddenly appeared on the tall wall.

On the tall wall, the mirror finally became solid, and the figure of the director of the "Spiritual Knowledge Society" appeared in the mirror. Soon, she passed through the mirror and finally came out of the "Extraordinary Transfer Station".

The Witch of Pain then bowed slightly to the air and said, "Thank you for your help."

An unusually sweet voice rang out in the air: "Evacuate quickly and don't explore inside anymore."

The one who spoke was the "Scarlet Saint" who had been trapped before. It took the two demigods who were trapped inside more than a day to escape.

But rescuing this Sequence 5 "Witch of Pain" took a lot of effort, and even asked an angel for help before he was finally able to escape.

The Witch of Pain said respectfully, "Yes."

Then she asked, "May I ask who destroyed this 'Extraordinary Transfer Station' before?"

A sweet voice in the air said, "The Origin gave a hint: knowledge."

"Knowledge?" the Witch of Pain asked. "From the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom?"

"No, I think it might involve 'knowledge' itself."

The "Witch of Pain" opened her mouth and suddenly realized that the level involved in this matter was very high.

……

Around Cruz Island, on the foggy sea.

A classical-style ship with a large belly suddenly broke through the fog and cruised forward slowly.

This is Egbert's flagship: the Ghost.

Behind this ship were three large or medium-sized sea vessels.

Egbert stood at the bow of the Ghost, looking at Cruz Island not far away.

The sudden appearance of thick fog on the sea surface is the ability of the "Ghost".

In this sea area, Egbert, the owner of the "Ghost", can see through the fog and see the scene clearly.

"Captain," said First Mate Arlin, strolling to the bow. "I don't think continuing the battle is a good idea."

At the meeting that just ended, Egbert redeployed his troops and decided to launch a general attack at dawn on Tuesday.

The first mate continued, "They're flying the flag of 'Elemental Dawn'!"

"If you're not mentally ill, why would you be interested in a remote island like this where there's nothing but shit?" Egbert said in a cold tone. "What pirate would be interested in a piece of shitty iron ore?"

As he spoke, Egbert took a deep breath and patted the hull: "But since we are using this ship, we have to pay a price."
