Sail Shadows in the Sea of ​​Fog

Chapter 66 Persuading to Leave
On the deck of the Honest Man, on the sea shrouded in thunder and rain, the Tinissa Band plucked the strings on the stern and played their only love prelude, while the hundreds of mixed-race crew members around them crowded around the loud speakers on both sides of the ship and sang the accompanying song with all their might.

However, as the marines got closer, a considerable number of them lost their lives and flesh and blood silently by Cheng Lang's poison, but the remaining ones rushed to the Honest Man without any scruples!
"Remove the horn and prepare for boarding!"

Kervik gave the order decisively, then took a deep sip of the cannon pipe given to him by the heart of the ship, "Fire!"

"boom--!"

Amidst the intensive bombardment that almost formed a line, the upper and lower decks of the Honest Man opened fire one after another, firing dense grapeshot at the nearby sea surface, tearing into pieces any Marines who dared to approach.

At the same time, the small sailors on the open deck flipped the horn on the side of the ship forward, then drew out the scimitars fixed on the side of the ship, ready to engage the enemy.

"I will dispel fear!"

Belvec took out the cloth given to him by the heart of the ship, and said, "And grant you supreme bravery!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Amid the roars of the mixed-race sailors, Belvek covered their eyes with cloth, and the eyes of the sailors on the ship turned red.

"The Tinisha Band!"

On the open deck of the poop, Tinisha plucked the strings vigorously. "Hymn of Courage! Let's try playing Hymn of Courage!"

"Yes!"

The other six merfolk cried out in unison, and then each plucked a beautiful palm-sized scale from their fish tails, held the end with the remaining blood thread in their mouths, and played a light tune.

Then, they all plucked the strings and sang a hymn of courage in the thunderstorm, which they were not very proficient in.

With the help of this song, even Cheng Lang, who was suspended in the poisonous ink underwater, felt a surge of courage, which lifted his originally depressed spirits.

Cheng Lang flicked the whip to collect the deadly poison around him, then grabbed the top of the mast and squeezed back into the center of the boat.

"Float!"

Cheng Lang issued an order, and the magic mirror immediately conveyed the order to Kervik, who was in charge of the helm of the Honest Man, through light signals.

At the same time, Cheng Lang also manipulated the nine pairs of dragonfly fins through the center of the boat to gently flap them, distancing himself from the Honest Man right above his head and resurfacing.

"fire!"

Cheng Lang gave the order without waiting for the Valkyrie to shake off the seawater.

"Boom!" Amidst the equally dense artillery fire, a large number of grapeshot hit the surrounding sea surface.

At the same time, Yafuso and Gerta also brought several vine goblins and came to the sides of the ship carrying several oak barrels filled with sea fish oil.

"Pour! Pour it all in!" Yafuso gave the order.

"Wow—"

The gorillas followed the order very quickly and poured the fish oil in the barrels into the sea.

Under the action of tension, the fish oil soaked with a large amount of dead mushroom fragments spread rapidly on the sea surface, forming a large oil film that was constantly broken up by rain.

Although this oil film will not cause mushrooms to grow all over the body, it is just as toxic.

For a moment, both the sirens and the sea horses they rode had hallucinations before their eyes.

At the same time, the fighting on Dragonfly Island also entered a white-hot stage. When the Marines who tried to swim into the hatchery from the waterway again were burned to death, more Marines rushed to Dragonfly Island and flocked to the cave leading to the island.

"kill!"

Following Wilton's shout, buckets of hot oil poured down from the top of the cave, and the Marines were also screaming as the aroma of fish rose up.

"ignition!"

Following the second command, torches were thrown out one after another, easily setting fire to the Marines who were screaming outside.

On the sea surface farther away from Dragonfish Island, the Valkyrie and the Honest Man, schools of countless dragonfish, led by several harptail fishmen mixed in, began to strangle the fish at a high speed.

As they sped and spun at high speed, more and more sea cavalry were cut, dyeing the violent sea red.

"Boom--!"

Another loud thunderbolt lit up the rainy night for a moment, and those Marines who were still alive and awake were horrified to find that there were very few companions around them.

"withdraw!"

At a certain moment, a clever mermaid finally made a decision that went against her ancestors and grabbed the reins of the seahorse and was about to run away.

However, how can they outrun the dragonfly?

"Chase!"

Following the order of one of the harptail fishmen on the sea, the surrounding dragonflies immediately swarmed in, surrounding the sea cavalry who tried to escape like a group of sea hornets, and completely wiped them out in the blink of an eye.

"Boom--!"

After another series of muffled thunders that connected heaven and earth, the schools of dragonfly fish gathered from all directions, surrounding the Dragonfly Fish Island, the Honest Man and the Valkyrie.

"It's a wandering circus guy."

On the second deck at the bow, Yafuso, who was standing next to Cheng Lang, whispered, "Those dragonflies have the logo of the wandering circus on their bodies."

Cheng Lang glanced at the sail behind him inconspicuously and breathed a sigh of relief. He had just let the vine goblins and gorillas hide in the cabin at Yun Ji's reminder, so he didn't have to worry about being discovered.

Just at this moment, a man in a cloak came at high speed from a distance on a dragonfish, and finally stopped within the closest range of the Valkyrie.

Ignoring the artillery fire aimed at her, the woman, completely hidden in her cloak, asked loudly, "Is this our friend from the Wandering Circus, Captain Cheng Lang of the Wind Wave, and his first mate, Miss Yun Ji?"

"Yes, it's us." Cheng Lang said, "Friends from the Wandering Circus."

"We are late. Thank you for helping the people of Dragonfish Island overcome this crisis." said the woman hiding in the cloak.

"We are friends"

Cheng Lang said, "And everyone on Dragonfly Island has been very helpful to us."

"One code for one code"

The cloaked woman said, "Once again, the Wandering Circus owes the Wind and Wave a favor."

"Correction"

Cheng Lang said, "My ship is called Valkyrie."

“It’s a good name”

The cloaked woman pointed to the nearby Dragonfish Island and asked, "Shall we go to the island and talk?"

"certainly"

Cheng Lang responded, "We'll be there soon."

"See you later"

After the cloaked woman finished speaking, the dragonfly fish under her feet turned around obediently, and at an exaggeratedly fast speed and in a handsome and eye-catching manner, it carried the cloaked woman on its back to the Dragonfly Fish Island.

At the same time, the school of dragonflies surrounding their two boats dispersed at almost the same speed and also rushed towards the Dragonfly Island.

"Vine Mandrill is a convenience, but also a trouble"

Cheng Lang sighed secretly. These gorillas were indeed the best sailors, but they were also like mice that could not see the light. If they were not careful, they would be recognized by those who were interested.

"Let's go," Cheng Lang took a deep breath, "back to Dragonfly Fish Island."

Before he finished speaking, the two ships turned around and docked at Dragonfly Island again.

From a long distance away, Cheng Lang asked the gorillas to hide again, and luxuriously controlled the dragonfly fins through the center of the ship to complete the final docking, and then took Yun Ji to the simple dock.

As for the other crew members, they were on high alert this time under Cheng Lang's orders - their friendship with the wandering circus was not that solid.

After taking a look at the corpse of the Marine who had turned into a wick, Cheng Lang and Yun Ji once again walked into the island and, led by Wilton, walked into his restaurant.

"You guys chat, I'll get you some food." Wilton said as he turned and walked into the restaurant.

"I'm Arielin, the captain of the Dragonfish Stormtroopers of the Wandering Circus."

The cloaked woman had already lifted the hood of her cloak while speaking. She had the standard silver hair and pointed ears of an elf, and her neck also had the slender gill holes unique to siren. Even her neck and exposed wrists were covered with scales.

"Hello, Captain Arelin."

Cheng Lang shook hands with the other party and clearly felt the slightly hard texture of the hand covered with delicate scales.

"Your eyes tell me that this seems to be your first time having physical contact with a mixed-blood."

Ailin said with a smile, and in her tone, the discriminatory word "bastard" seemed to be no different from the word "eyes".

"This is indeed my first time meeting a mixed-blood," Cheng Lang said as he let go of the other person's hand, "especially such a beautiful mixed-blood."

"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment"

Ai Ruilin smiled and said, "Captain Cheng Lang, can you tell me what happened here? I need to express my gratitude to you according to the circumstances."

"Captain Ailin must know why we came here," Cheng Lang said.

"I do know, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon."

“The rest is just a matter of chance.”

Cheng Lang said, "I need to equip my boat with dragonfly fins, so I have to save Dragonfly Island and Mr. Wilton."

"Even so, I still want to thank Captain Cheng Lang for saving the islanders of Tingyu Island."

Irelin explained, "Some time ago, for some reason, we had to withdraw the guards around Dragonfly Island to do other things, which gave the enemy the opportunity to occupy this place."

"Frankly speaking, it also gives us an opportunity." Cheng Lang spread his hands and joked.

"It also gives us the opportunity to deepen our friendship," Irelin said with a smile. "How do you hope to be thanked?"

"Since it's friendship, there's no need to thank me."

Cheng Lang smiled and said, "If it's convenient, how about giving us another firework?"

"no problem"

This time, Ai Ruilin agreed very readily. "You will get a firework. In return, I hope you can keep everything that happens here a secret."

"certainly"

Cheng Lang nodded happily, "But can you satisfy my curiosity?"

"Go ahead," said Arielin.

"Is Dragonfly Island important to the Wandering Circus?" Cheng Lang asked a straightforward question that seemed to have nothing to do with him.

"The Dragonfish Stormtroopers are one of the main fighting forces of the Wandering Circus," Irelin said, not intending to hide it. "This is one of our hatching bases."

“My curiosity has been satisfied.”

Cheng Lang said simply, "I will keep everything that happens here confidential."

"Captain Cheng Lang, how long do you plan to stay on Dragonfly Island?" asked Ai Ruilin.

"Mr. Wilton promised to equip our other boat with dragonfly fins," Cheng Lang replied, "and we'll leave after that."

At this moment, Wilton and his wife also brought a variety of delicious food. "I was planning to help your other boat install dragonfly fins later, but after hearing what you said, I decided to wait until tomorrow."

"Uncle Wilton, please help install the dragonfly fins on their other boat as soon as possible."

Arelin said, "There may be a new battle here soon."

"A new battle?"

Cheng Lang couldn't help but look at the other party, "Out of friendship, do you need help?"

"You can't help," Arielin shook her head, "This is a battle between half-bloods and sirens."

"Don't regret it, I'm a special medicine for poisonous sea monsters."

Cheng Lang muttered to himself, but then he heard the other party suddenly ask, "So those idiots from the Demon Hunters have actually been looking for your ship recently?"

Before Cheng Lang could speak, Ai Ruilin shook her slender fingers and said, "Don't rush to deny it, and don't underestimate the intelligence capabilities of the Wandering Circus. Besides, even if I haven't seen the Vine Mandrill, I can recognize the Sea-Watching Vine."

“Then he must be looking for us.”

Cheng Lang said with a hint of helplessness, this was the problem he was just worried about, the recognition of the vine goblin was too high.

"So you were the ones who found Count Walesa's treasure?" Irelin asked.

“This is not it.”

Yun Ji said angrily, "We were also shocked when we heard the news, and the rumor is false. Count Walesa's treasure has nothing to do with the vine goblins. I guess someone planned this in advance to divert attention."

"This news is a pleasant surprise for us," said Arielin with a smile.

"Aren't you worried that we are lying?" Cheng Lang asked as if he was courting death.

"I told you, don't underestimate the intelligence capabilities of the Wandering Circus." Arielin said confidently, "You have enough alibis."

"It seems that we are being monitored in Pirate City," Cheng Lang said with a smile. He didn't care about it, or it could be said that he had expected it.

“Friendship becomes more valuable only after it has been tested.”

Ai Ruilin said nonchalantly, "Honesty also makes friendship more valuable."

“Thank you for your honesty.”

Cheng Lang pretended to be helpless and said, "In short, Count Walesa's treasure is really not in our hands."

"It doesn't matter. That treasure is not within our target range."

Arelin said nonchalantly, "Besides, we will also keep the existence of the vine mandrill a secret."

"Thank you," Cheng Lang said indifferently.

"Finally, thank you again for your help to Dragonfish Island."

Ai Ruilin stood up and shook hands with Cheng Lang again. "For the sake of our hard-earned friendship, please leave here as soon as possible."

"it is good"

Cheng Lang nodded and watched the other party turn around and leave the restaurant.
