Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 275 The Fall of the Night Emperor

The words of the "Hermit" made all the members stunned for a moment, and then they wondered if they had heard it wrong?
Alger, the "Hanged Man": "The Night Emperor" fell under the siege of the Six Gods? This...

Klein the Fool was also very surprised: Didn't the Six Gods support the Trunsost Empire? Why would they suddenly besiege the Night Emperor?
The "Priestess" Cattleya sighed: The Six Gods are indeed the key to the "War of the Four Emperors". In the previous battles, the "Night Emperor" has successfully defeated the "Black Emperor" and the "Blood Emperor", but he is still not the Six Gods... and is definitely not their opponent.

She was a little puzzled. What was the reason for the conflict between the two parties?

He simply asked, "Mr. Hermit, why did the Six Gods do this?"

"I've received two pieces of information regarding this matter," Odysseus said. "I can't determine which one is the specific reason, or rather, I can't determine which one is the main reason."

The other members sat up straight and listened quietly to the "hermit's" story.

"The first reason is that the Night Emperor was attacked by the six gods because he was contaminated by the evil gods." Odysseus continued: "There is evidence that the Night Emperor was contaminated by the evil gods.

"This was analyzed from a sealed artifact that was formed after the Night Emperor's fall. It's said that the sealed artifact was contaminated by an unknown source.

"That's why we speculate that the Night Emperor was contaminated, which is why the seal was contaminated."

Cattleya then asked, "Excuse me, what kind of seal is that?"

"I'm not sure either," Odysseus said. "I only know it's in the hands of the Church of the God of War."

Actually, it is the "Brass Book of Trunsoste", but Odysseus does not intend to explain it too clearly here, because what has been said here is enough.

Moreover, for such advanced intelligence, it is more reasonable to express it vaguely.

Cattleya nodded slowly and did not ask any further questions. She was well aware that the power of this seal was a top secret among the major churches. It was already great to know that it was in the Church of the God of War.

Odysseus continued, "The second reason is said to be that the Six Gods did not allow the Night Emperor to become stronger, fearing that he would lose control. Therefore, they joined forces to besiege the Night Emperor, causing the Trunsost Empire to collapse."

He took a deep breath and said, "It's hard to say which one is the main reason, but I personally think it's both.

"When we were talking about the Tamara family just now, I mentioned that the Night Emperor had contacted a certain evil god.

"That evil god is similar to the Primordial Moon, a sinister spirit lurking within the starry sky. It's very likely that during this contact, the Night Emperor was contaminated.

"Later, while exploring a Quaternary ruin, I found relevant evidence, confirming that the Night Emperor had been contaminated by some unknown source."

The ruins that Odysseus mentioned were the "Secret Chamber of Trunsoest" that he and Bernadette had explored before.

He seriously suspected that the "Night Emperor" might be using the "Uncertain Mist" or even the pollution of this Outer God to search for the "Land of Disorder".

After all, the source materials are sealed, and some special means are needed to find them and obtain the "Kingdom of Disorder".

Judging from the fact that the "Brass Book of Trunsoest" is contaminated by the "Land of Disorder", it is very likely that the "Night Emperor" has found the "Land of Disorder" and is preparing to become the Old One.

The pollution of the "Kingdom of Disorder" on that sealed object is pollution to others, but not necessarily pollution to the "Night Emperor" Trunsoest.

After a brief pause, Odysseus continued, "As for the second reason, it certainly exists. The Six Gods simply need a ruler to help them manage worldly affairs.

"After all, for a society or a civilization to develop, it is not enough to rely solely on the power of faith; it also needs a ruler to lead them in development.

"Not only is the church unable to handle these matters well, it can also easily have a counterproductive effect.

“When worldly civilization develops better and society becomes more stable, it is also good for the state of the gods.

“But Trunsoest was obviously willing to accept the rule of the Six Gods and to cooperate deeply with them at the beginning, but he ultimately did not want to be their puppet forever.

“He married into the vampire clan to strengthen his power and worked hard to become even more powerful, but this process angered the Six Gods.

“So, the Six Gods besieged Trunsoest, claiming that Trunsoest was contaminated.

"Thus, three emperors have fallen one after another, and the era of the 'Four Emperors' War' has come to an end."

Audrey immediately felt the sense of the times and destiny, as if she saw a torrent rolling forward.

Alger then thought: Thus, the Six Gods regained control of the entire Northern Continent, and this control continues to this day.

Suddenly he thought again: Could it be that the "God of Steam and Machinery" took advantage of the changes of the times and officially transformed from a family head into a god?
Klein also realized that the Night Emperor's fall had brought to the forefront the issue of the division of the Northern Continent. It was truly a shame; the Night Emperor had achieved a temporary victory in the Four Emperors' War, only for the fruits of victory to be divided up among the Six Gods.

At the same time, this made him deeply realize that being a god wasn't easy either. In other words, even at the level of a god, one still needed to be cautious. If one accidentally offended the public and was besieged by the gods, their demise would be a matter of moments.

Seeing that no one had any further questions, Odysseus said, "The above is the information about the Trunsoste Empire."

Everyone was still thinking about the information they had just received. "Moon" Emlyn thought to himself: No wonder information about the Trunsost Empire costs 4000 pounds. It turns out that to explain this empire clearly, we must provide a unified explanation of the extraordinary power of the "War of the Four Emperors" era.

After this round of transactions, even several members like "Magician" Fors and "Sun" Derrick had a very deep understanding of the history of the Fourth Epoch.

About ten seconds later, the other members came to their senses one after another.

Seeing that no one spoke, Derrick said, "Mr. Hermit, I still need six extraordinary weapons this week. Three Ice Bombs and three Thunderstorm Bombs."

Odysseus thought about it and realized that he already had these weapons in stock, so he didn't recommend his scroll to Derrick for the time being.

After obtaining the scroll, Odysseus's previous disposable extraordinary weapons were rarely used, and Derrick's need was just the right time to clear out his inventory.

Odysseus then said, "At the last Tarot meeting, I still owed you 30 pounds. This time you spent 400 pounds on the information trade and 300 pounds on the weapons. So, you owe me 670 pounds now.

"This time, I need ten pieces of Sequence 10-level Extraordinary Materials, or five pieces of Sequence 9-level Materials. In that case, I'll owe you another 5 pounds."

Currently, intelligence exchange meetings and mysticism exchange meetings basically have a fixed demand for extraordinary materials.

Odysseus currently only has 6 pieces of materials in his hands, so it can be said that the speed of cashing in is very fast.

Ten pieces of material still didn't seem like a big deal to Derrick: "No problem."

The two people completed the transaction, and the transaction phase ended, entering the free communication phase.

Fors was organizing her words, preparing to recount her explorations with the Hermit, when Derrick spoke first, "Elder Lovia has been released. I met her in the library."

Justice Audrey recollected a moment and said, "Elder Lovia? The 'shepherd'?"

"Yes," Derrick answered, then turned to look at the Hanged Man beside him. "Mr. Hanged Man, does this mean that I accidentally made a wrong decision, causing the Council of Six to realize that I posed a threat, and therefore released Elder Lovia?"

Alger thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Has your chief returned to Silver City?"

At a previous gathering, "Little Sun" mentioned during the exchange session that the chief had led the team to start a new round of exploration.

When Audrey heard the Hanged Man ask this, she suddenly realized: Yes, to release such an important person, the remaining members of the six-member council cannot wait for the Chief to come back.

Since Silver City hopes to find a balance between Elder Lovia and 'Little Sun', if the Chief does not return, they have decided to release him. Releasing Elder Lovia at this time means that they believe the matter of 'Little Sun' is too serious to wait for the Chief.

If the Chief had already returned before making such a decision, then there was a high probability that the release of Lovia was related to the results of his exploration.

Finally, Audrey sighed in her heart: Why didn't I think of this just now? Audrey, you still lack experience...

Derrick was somewhat surprised by Mr. Hanged Man's accurate guess. "Yes, the Chief returned, not long ago."

Alger, the Hanged Man, smiled but did not immediately offer further analysis.

Derrick seemed to realize something after being reminded by the Hanged Man.

At this moment, the Magician Fors, who had been quietly listening, combined the information he had learned previously and suddenly had an idea: "Mr. Sun, could this be the case?
"Your chief led the exploration team and the little boy Jack to search for the path to the outside world. They discovered that they had to rely on the power of the 'True Creator'.

"Haha, this is not something I made up, but a deduction based on facts. The father of that little boy Jack belongs to the 'Aurora Society'. They came to you in search of the sanctuary of the 'True Creator'.

"In order to quickly find a passage to the outside world, your chief decided to release Shepherd Lovia, not because of you."

The more Derrick listened, the more he felt that this was the case. In the end, he saw that Mr. "The Hanged Man" didn't say anything or add anything, which meant that Mr. "The Hanged Man" also agreed with Miss "The Magician"'s opinion.

So Little Sun thanked him: "Ms. Magician, your analysis has helped me understand many things."

Audrey said with some concern, "If that's the case, will Mr. Sun be in danger?"

Only then did Alger smile and say, "No, it's actually safer."

Derrick, Audrey, and Fors thought about it for a moment, then nodded in agreement. They all understood the meaning of "The Hanged Man."

Cattleya didn't express her opinion because she didn't understand the full story.

Only Emlyn, who had just begun to understand the situation, asked, "Why?"

Alger thought for a moment before answering, "Balance."

Emlyn said "Oh", but everyone could see that he still didn't quite understand.

Seeing that no one else was speaking, Fors said, "Let me share what Mr. Hermit and I explored last week."

Audrey slowly turned around and faced the "magician". She had been looking forward to this for a long time.

"Before the exploration began, I only learned from Mr. Hermit that the ruins were related to the Abraham family," Fors said. "When we arrived at the island, we discovered that someone had already arrived before us..."

Because she often wrote novels, Fors was very good at telling stories. Just the part about eavesdropping on each other's conversations was enough to make the other members feel thrilling and exciting.

When Priestess Cattleya heard the words written in "Ancient Giant Language" on the tall wall, she immediately had a question. So she took advantage of the "magician"'s pause to ask, "Who is the 'sage' mentioned in that passage?"

This made Cattleya wonder: Could it be the "Hidden Sage"?
Klein also noticed this "sage," and according to his recollection, he did not remember such a person existing.

Fors was stunned by the question and immediately looked at the Hermit.

Odysseus, the Hermit, said, "This is the first time I've seen such a description."

Cattleya nodded somewhat disappointedly.

Next, as the "magician" lady continued to describe, everyone marveled at the wisdom and determination shown by the "hermit" in her exploration.

When everyone heard that he could hide in the ruins and "become invisible", then raid the enemy's weakest point and pretend to leave the ruins, they were already very impressed.

Later, when he heard that the Hermit had taken the opportunity to enter the warehouse, realized the danger from the enemy's conversation, and quietly opened the secret room, even Klein felt that this kind of wit was rare.

Cattleya noticed that the "Hermit" made a judgment based on his extensive knowledge and found the best solution.

She thought: This must be the rich knowledge and experience accumulated by the "hermit" in constant adventures, as well as the reaction he has trained.

This also explains very well that a large part of the source of the "Hermit's" intelligence should have been obtained through his exploration.

Then Cattleya sighed again: I escaped from the two demigods!

She unconsciously put herself into the situation at that time and found that she couldn't do it at all.

When she finds that her opponent is very strong, she may simply stop exploring and choose to leave immediately.

Among the other members, Audrey was the most excited: "This is an adventure on the sea!" Mr. "Hermit" used clever means to not only kill three enemies but also obtain a lot of rewards from the warehouse.

The most admirable thing is the way of escaping from that space, which even exceeded the expectations of the two demigods.

Audrey also wanted to have such an adventure. Although it was indeed dangerous and the consequences of taking a wrong step would be serious, she was eager to try it.

While daydreaming, she also drew a mental sketch for herself: My life has always been too safe, which makes me like stability, but at the same time, I can't help but look forward to an adventure with controllable risks.

Emlyn sighed: Although Miss Magician didn't specify their gains, they must be able to find many good things in these ruins that have never been looted.

Alger, the Hanged Man, pondered for a moment and asked, "The Gnosis Society's main purpose in exploring this ruin seems to be to find the person buried by the skeleton?"

"I think so too," Odysseus said, "and later the 'Saint' of the 'Witch Cult' also went there, which shows that this matter is very important to them.

"They mentioned in their conversation that the Witch Cult recently found a key clue in a batch of information from the southern continent, which is why they started looking for the relevant information and took corresponding actions..."

Klein was slightly taken aback when he heard this: Information from the Southern Continent? Could it be the same information copied for Mr. Azik?

Speaking of which, the matter of this batch of information originated from Klein.

He learned from a soul in the "Creeping Hunger" that "Lieutenant General Hurricane" Qilingos once seized a batch of materials unearthed in the southern continent.

Klein believed that the information was currently in the hands of Vice Admiral Disease, who had taken over the Qilingos Fleet, so he planned to disguise himself and assassinate Vice Admiral Disease.

The assassination attempt failed, and Klein asked the big boss, Mr. Azik, to come forward and get the information. As a result, he met an "immortal witch", who was an old acquaintance of Mr. Azik.

The "Immortal Witch" agreed to make a copy of the information and give it to Mr. Azik.

It seems that when the information was being copied, the "Witch Sect" also examined the information and obtained some key clues.

Klein took a deep breath. He hadn't expected that there would be so many follow-ups regarding the information on the Southern Continent.

Odysseus did not look at The World or The Fool, but continued, "I have also speculated for a long time, but have not come up with any clues. However, now that we know about this, we can pay attention to the actions of the Witch Cult and the Gnosis Society.

"If you find any clues, you can provide them to the church."

The other members nodded in agreement, but Cattleya almost asked: Provide it to the church?

In her opinion, the "Tarot Club" is definitely a secret organization that has just emerged, and the background of the "Hermit" is also very mysterious, so he should also belong to a mysterious organization.

Suddenly saying that they would report the clues to the church made Cattleya feel a little funny, but it also seemed to open a new door. She realized that sometimes she could make use of the official Beyonder organization.

Klein noticed something else important. He manipulated the "world" to ask the "hermit," "Have you cracked the 'teleportation array'?"

When the other members were reminded of this, they suddenly remembered that the "Hermit" had been studying the magic circle.

Perhaps his most important goal is to find that magic circle.

They sat up straight one by one and looked at the "Hermit" one after another.

That's the legendary "teleportation array"! If you could crack it...

They could even see that the "Hermit" had control over a large amount of wealth and resources.

"It's basically cracked." Odysseus smiled and said, "But this magic circle is very special. Simply cracking it is not enough."

He didn't go into too much detail: "There are many harsh conditions that make it impossible to set up this formation as desired."

He actually cracked it!

Alger thought to himself: Even if the conditions are harsh, it's worth pouring energy and wealth into it... No, it's easy to be targeted by some powerful beings or secret organizations. The safest course of action is to join a righteous church.

He was about to remind the "hermit", but then he felt that it was impossible for the "hermit" not to have thought of this.

At this time, "Little Sun" asked: "Mr. Hermit, can the "teleportation array" in Silver City be used?"

"I don't think so," Odysseus said. "The barrier between the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods' and the normal world might not be something a 'teleportation array' can break through."

"Little Sun" nodded somewhat disappointedly.

After chatting for a few more sentences, no member brought up any new topics, so Klein announced that this Tarot Club was over.

Back in the captain's cabin, Odysseus stared at the ceiling for a while, thinking about the Tarot reading just now.

Then Odysseus came to the cockpit and asked the navigator trainee on duty to confirm that the "Deep Blue" pirate group had not launched an attack.

Odysseus returned to the studio, set up the altar, and first offered the six extraordinary weapons to Mr. Fool. About ten minutes later, Odysseus received a notification from the Fool, revealing the cash and extraordinary materials he had earned from the Tarot Club.

This time, Odysseus made a lot of money at the Tarot Club. From two intelligence transactions, he earned a total of 4600 pounds in cash and 10 extraordinary materials.

Looking at the stacks of cash, Odysseus thought to himself: My fortune has been pretty good lately!

Not only did they make a fortune during the previous exploration, they also made a lot of money by destroying the "Red Lion" pirate group. This time, the Tarot Club made more than 4,000 pounds.

After putting away the money and extraordinary materials, Odysseus rested for a while and took out the blueprint of Cruz Island to look at it.

He estimated that the decisive battle would break out tonight, and he had already chosen the location for Egbert.

The only uncertainty now may be the ghost ship.

Odysseus was a little unsure about the specific capabilities of the ghost ship and whether the "Spirit Wave Cannon" could destroy it.

He stretched himself. Even if he couldn't destroy the ghost ship, it would be no problem to force it back.

Since there are too few clues to make an accurate judgment, I might as well stop thinking about it, relax, and prepare for the upcoming decisive battle.

After nightfall, the fog still did not dissipate.

Odysseus ordered the Argo to enter Moon Bay.

Press and others were a little surprised by this action.

Didn't they say before that anyone who sails into Moon Bay is courting death? Why did Captain Gal still sail in?
But of course they didn't dare to ask, so they just looked at it at the dock for a while and then went back.

In the thick fog of the night, the crew members of the "Sword of Dawn" pirate group were quite excited. This was the first time for most of them to participate in such a large-scale battle.

Their "Captain Gal" had already brought them many surprises with the "Extraordinary Machine Gun" and "Extraordinary Mortar". Hearing that the weapons on the "Argo" were even more powerful, they all wanted to see it.

But until after ten o'clock in the evening, the enemy's attack still had not begun.

Odysseus then gave orders to each position, asking everyone to take turns to rest, but to remain vigilant.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the port town, which had been ready for a decisive battle, gradually quieted down.

Many people thought that the pirates might not come today, so they went home to rest.

Odysseus also rested for a while, but because he had something on his mind, he woke up every half an hour or so.

It was around four in the morning when Odysseus woke up and went straight to the cab, staring blankly at the growing fog outside.

Now, it has become a battle of patience.

In fact, war often comes down to who has more patience.

bang bang bang~
Suddenly, a burst of cannon fire was heard on the sea.

Before the navigator apprentice on duty could react, Odysseus suddenly stood up and said, "Open the protection to the maximum!"

The "extraordinary puppet" in the cab pushed the corresponding joystick to the maximum gear.

At this time, more than a dozen shells fell into the water near the "Argo", exploding into balls of water.

Odysseus smiled slightly, and the enemy's attack finally began.

The sudden sound of artillery seemed to wake up the entire Cruz Island.

The residents of the town hurried out with their weapons, but as soon as they went out, they saw the "Argo" in Moon Bay being bombarded by shells from the sea.

In the early morning, when the fog is the heaviest, you can't even see where the ships are on the sea.
But the other party seemed to be able to see the "Argo" in the "Moon Bay".

Everyone was worried that the "Sword of Dawn" ship would be sunk.

Then, the second round of artillery fire sounded. After the first round of test firing, the second round of artillery fire was relatively accurate, and seven or eight shells hit the "Argo".

There were bursts of screams at the dock, and some people were even preparing to escape.

But at this time, everyone saw an amazing scene. There seemed to be a transparent curved wall around the "Argo". It was invisible at ordinary times, but it was visible when blocking the shells.

Because the shell exploded suddenly, the flames produced by the explosion spread along an arc.

Everyone then quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Many people were already saying that since "Captain Gal" had docked his ship in "Moon Bay", he must not be afraid of the enemy's cannons.

At this moment, the "Argo" finally raised the anchor, but showed no intention of moving.

The rumbling sound of cannons on the sea rang out again. This time there were more cannons involved in the bombardment, and it sounded like there were dozens of them.

This shocked the people on the dock again. No one spoke anymore and just looked at the sea.

After the third round of shelling, they heard screams and flames coming from Lighthouse Hill.

It was only then that people realized that many of the shells from the third round of artillery fire had hit "Lighthouse Hill."

……

"Lighthouse Hill" is the battlefield where the two sides fought the decisive battle.

Egbert launched a tentative attack yesterday. Although he did not attack here, judging from the number of defenders in the north and south, it can be seen that the defense here must be very weak.

So he chose this place as the battlefield for the decisive battle.

Egbert made this decision because he was not sure how strong the firepower of the Argo was.

However, at this time, the "Argo" still did not fight back, and stayed quietly in the "Moon Bay" as a target.

The person in charge of defending "Lighthouse Hill" is Third Officer Beavis, and the main force of this line of defense is the residents of the port town and their servants, who have very poor combat effectiveness.

Under Odysseus's arrangement, almost all the older directors of the autonomous association are here.

The reason for having these directors stationed here before was that they were old and this place was close to the town, so there was no need to walk a long way to the north of the island.

During the exploratory attack the night before, Egbert did not attack here. They all thought that no one would attack here. After all, after landing here, they would have to climb the mountain, which was very inconvenient.

At this moment, they were suddenly awakened by the explosion of artillery shells. They were stunned for a moment before they felt lucky that everyone was basically at the top of the mountain.

The enemy's artillery bombardment was mainly aimed at the foot and hillside of the mountain.

Soon, the people stationed here discovered that the fog on the sea seemed to be stirred up by something.

They looked hard and finally saw clearly that they were small boats!

The boats were full of pirates, and under cover of gunfire, they were landing quietly and quickly!

To them, it was a terrifying scene.

In their impression, the pirates who had always been very rude and liked to shout suddenly sat so quietly on the boat and rowed the boat very fast with tacit cooperation.

Gudong~
Small boats rushed onto the beach, and the battle captains and boatswains shouted orders to the crew to launch an attack.

In just a minute or two, more than a dozen small boats arrived, and about two hundred people landed on the vast beach.

Although there were 200 defenders on Lighthouse Hill, the ones landing on the beach were 200 vicious pirates!
Before the battle began, the defenders were still residents of the town, and a large number of them were servants armed with cold weapons and serving the residents of the port town.

When they saw the pirates land, their first thought was to run away!
It’s not that they are unwilling to shoot, but the guns in their hands are basically revolvers, which can’t hit the enemy at all.

However, the pirates generally had weapons such as spears, pistols, and short swords, and they could attack the defenders as long as they rushed to the middle of the mountain.

Beavis did not stop their escape. According to Captain Gall's plan, the more embarrassed they ran, the better.

bang bang bang~
As the pirates landed with little resistance, the bombardment extended and soon began to bombard the top of "Beacon Hill".

The shells exploded right next to Beavis and the others, and for a moment cries and screams filled the top of the mountain.

Beavis held a "defense scroll" in his hand, but he never used it and only planned to use it when it was most dangerous.

As he retreated, he observed the pirates' attack.

With the continuous bombardment, the lighthouse was the first to collapse, and those who ran a little slower were immediately blown away and killed.

Even the elderly members of the autonomous association were walking briskly, as if they had suddenly become a dozen years younger.

Soon they retreated from the top of the mountain. Beavis, who was walking at the end, noticed that the pirates had rushed to the mountainside.

So he took out his whistle and blew it hard.

The clear whistle pierced through the fog and cut through the sea.

At this time, Egbert, who was on the "Ghost" and observing the occupied ship with a telescope, heard the whistle and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Many people on the dock in the harbor also heard the whistle, but they didn't know what it meant.

However, someone soon discovered that the "Argo" began to move. The sails were still firmly tied to the mast, but the ship just moved!

Egbert also noticed this, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He gave the order: "All ships turn around and start firing at the Argo!"

After learning that the "Argo" had entered "Moon Bay", he knew that this ship was no ordinary ship, or that the "Sword of Dawn" pirate group must have some plan.

At this time, the "Argo" started to move, and he knew that the action of the "Sword of Dawn" pirate group had begun.

But Egbert was not worried, because they had four ships, one of which was already blocking outside the "Moon Bay". The other three only needed to turn their hulls slightly, and the "Argo" would soon be able to enter the range of the cannons of these ships.

Even if the "Argo" was protected by the "Extraordinary Shield", it could not withstand several rounds of bombardment from dozens of cannons.

But then, Egbert saw a surprising scene: the "Argo" began to fight back.

Bang bang bang bang bang~
The cannons at the bow of the ship continuously fired shells, forming a fire snake that penetrated the fog and accurately hit the pirate ship blocking outside the "Moon Bay".

The large pirate ship was immediately engulfed in flames. Screams were heard on board, and many people jumped into the sea with flames all over their bodies.

Egbert, holding the telescope, began to breathe more heavily. In just four or five seconds, the big ship had lost all its combat effectiveness, and the sailors and crew members who jumped off the ship a little slower had already been burned to death.

The Argo was rushing out of the port at an astonishing speed.

"Fire!" Egbert ordered immediately, and then he felt his palms full of cold sweat.

Bang bang bang bang~
Three ships, including the "Ghost", fired together in the direction of "Moon Bay". This round of bombardment was still blocked by the "Extraordinary Shield" on the "Argo".

The small "Argo" rushed out of the port and rushed towards the pirate ship that was several times larger than it and was blocking outside the "Moon Bay".

Just as it approached the pirate ship, an illusory pure white conical shield suddenly appeared on the bow of the "Argo".

At first Egbert thought he was seeing things, but when he saw the cone-shaped object first pierce the burning pirate ship.

He suddenly realized that it was the weapon used by the Argo to ram.

wow~
The "Argo" rammed the pirate ship in front of it into two pieces, then rushed out of the "Moon Bay" directly and headed towards the "Ghost" and other ships.

Egbert took a deep breath, communicated with the "Ghost" spiritually, and activated the "extraordinary shield" of this ghost ship.

This ghost ship gives Egbert confidence.

But he soon noticed that the Argo was just coming towards him but had not fought back.

Just as Egbert was feeling strange, he saw the turrets at the bow and stern of the "Argo" begin to adjust their positions.

When the enemy finally fixed their firing position, Egbert broke out in a cold sweat: "Quickly retreat! Quickly, get everyone to retreat!"

But it's too late.

Bang bang bang bang bang~
The machine guns at the bow and stern of the "Argo" fired at the same time!
Launch towards "Beacon Hill"!
The pirate who was in the front had just reached the top of "Lighthouse Hill". When he looked back, he saw a magnificent view.

On the foggy sea, two fire snakes spewed out, stirring up the fog and turning it into orange.

A series of light spots were also reflected on the sea surface, strung together like pearls.

But this was the last view they saw.

The next second, the fireballs exploded on the top of the mountain, the fire spread, and the heart-wrenching screams seemed to resound throughout the entire Cruz Island.

The residents on the island couldn't help but tremble when they heard this, and they didn't understand why the battle suddenly became so brutal?
The bombardment of the "Argo" did not stop. After the seaward side of the "Lighthouse Hill" was completely engulfed in flames, the two "Extraordinary Machine Guns" entered a resting phase.

Under the burning of the fire, the fog became much thinner.

At the dock, people anxiously waiting for the results gradually saw clearly that there were four ships in total near the coast.

The Argo's bombardment was over, and the fire on Beacon Hill was alarming.

However, the three pirate ships, including the Ghost, remained silent, as if they were just watching the battle rather than being participants in it.

What is surprising is that even though the fire on the mountain was so big, some people still survived and rushed down the mountain, trying to jump into the sea.

At this time, the "extraordinary machine gun" sounded on the "Argo".

Under the machine gun fire and bursts of fire, the people who were running wildly in the fire fell down one after another.

Then, a hole suddenly appeared in the fire, and there appeared a huge evil spirit that could only be seen with "spiritual vision".

It was the Ghost's first mate, who summoned a spirit to help stem the fire.

Suddenly, a silver-white electric ball was shot out from the "Argo". The electric ball exploded, and the evil spirit was instantly torn to pieces. The first mate was also seriously injured.

Then an extraordinary mortar shell came over, and Egbert saw that the first mate's upper body was blown into the sky.

At this moment, he seemed to react suddenly and commanded the "Ghost" to escape quickly with the two ships.

However, the "Argo" did not pursue, but only cruised in front of "Lighthouse Hill", firing guns or cannons to attack the survivors in the fire.

This made Egbert on the Ghost breathe a sigh of relief.

He guessed that the "Argo"'s artillery, which was so powerful and could fire continuously, must have significant negative effects and certainly could not be used all the time.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have let their three ships leave with such a good opportunity just now.

As the fire on Lighthouse Hill got farther and farther away and the Argonaut never caught up, Egbert gradually felt relieved.

Suddenly, Egbert's spirit seemed to sense something. He picked up the telescope and looked at the "Argo", and saw a mechanical object rising from the cabin.

Two mechanical rods extended and were now facing the Ghost.
