In this world, there can be fires falling from the sky, or there can be snowy mountains falling... That's right, it's not snowing, it's snowy mountains falling!

In addition, because Li Zhong killed so many people, he now has no one to help him steer this huge sailing mast ship.

After thinking about it, Li Zhong used the power of hypnosis to make his hair grow wildly. He then made the hair into strings and tied them to various corners of the ship. He used the power of life sublimation to manipulate the ship to a certain extent, and finally solved the problem of insufficient crew members.

At this point, Li Zhong officially...

start sailing!

.

.

.

In many worlds, there is a strange phenomenon: although people are thousands of miles apart and do not communicate very frequently, they all have extremely similar legends.

For example, Li Zhong’s previous life’s "world-destroying flood" and "Yu the Great’s flood control", ghosts, evil spirits, vampires, zombies and the like.

This world shrouded by the ocean is no exception.

In this world, which is mainly composed of isolated islands except for the red earth continent surrounding the world, the legend of traveling around the world is naturally the legend about "ship".

For example, a ship with its own will, a 'ship spirit'.

Or... a ghost ship!

The so-called ghost ship refers to a ship encountered on the sea with no one on board.

There are also stories about people who have been on the ghost ship and were cursed or became mentally ill after returning.

When many people were children, their parents would use stories about ghost ships to scare their children who were curious about the sea.

It was similar to Li Zhong’s previous life, when parents talked to their children about playing with fire and wetting the bed.

As a middle-aged man who had been a marine for many years, Pancho didn't believe it at all.

There is no such thing as a ghost ship. It's just a trick for children.

Standing on the watchtower, he stuffed fried beans into his mouth as usual while gazing at the distant port with boredom.

This is his job. He doesn't have to tie his head to the belt and go out to sea, nor does he have to patrol the island.

Just pay attention to the ships coming and going every day.

It was a rare and leisurely job in the navy. If his cousin's husband was not a naval lieutenant commander and the highest manager of this branch, this job would never have been done by a guy like him with mediocre abilities.

"Hmm?" It seemed that God felt that this guy had been idle for several years and it was time to find him something to do. As the sun set, a small black shadow came towards this side from the other side of the horizon.

Although he got his position through connections and he is a bit slack at times, he still tries his best to complete his job. After all, it is not good if too many people gossip about him, and if something goes wrong at work, his cousin-in-law may not be able to protect him.

Soldiers have military courts!

Pancho picked up the telescope and looked carefully at the black shadow. What was coming towards this side was a large sailing ship, but there was no flag or anything to indicate its identity on the sailing ship.

Looking at the somewhat shabby ship, the first thing Pancho did was to search in his mind for a ship that matched its image.

Soon, his hands began to tremble as he suddenly remembered a large ship that perfectly matched the description.

It was the ship of a pirate group that had just committed a heinous crime in the nearby waters and massacred everyone on an island.

The notorious Carrion Pirates' ship!

Dang bang bang bang...! !

The bell on the watchtower was rang as quickly as possible by the lookout sentry Pancho.

The name of the Vicious Dog Pirates may seem insignificant, but the pirate group is famous for having many ruthless people.

Its captain, Kaa Lerant, offers a bounty of 2000 million berries.

At the same time, this pirate group also has three good fighters with more than 10 million Baileys.

And this is not the most critical point.

The point is, there are quite a lot of mentally twisted people in the Vicious Dog Pirates!

People who like to torture children, people who like to use torture, people who like to eat people, people who like to crush other people's bones piece by piece with their hands, all kinds of evil people can basically be found on this ship.

There was once a popular saying in the North Sea: If you encounter the Vicious Dog Pirates and you are unable to resist or escape, then commit suicide. This way you can suffer less!

This is not a big town, and the highest commander here is just an elderly branch major who has come here to retire.

If he were younger, he might be able to deal with Captain Kaa, but now...

……

The tense atmosphere quickly spread throughout the town. The elderly major who received the news touched the ends of his gray hair and quickly made a decision.

Go out to sea to fight!

But it is not a blind fight.

Instead, they first called for help, and then circled around the sea, using the tactic of "when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we advance; when the enemy is tired, we harass."

This is an attempt to drive the enemy out and delay the arrival of reinforcements.

This is the North Sea, not the Grand Route. There are not many strong men who can cross the sea in one step. As long as we keep some distance, we can completely rely on the advantage of having more ships on our side to use artillery shells to pull the enemy back, fly kites, and avoid boarding battles.

His idea was good, but when it came time to put it into practice, the old major found that his plan had failed.

Because there was no one on that 'Corpse'!

Chapter 261 Others want to kneel but have no way to do so.JPG

"…Hiss!" Pancho took a breath when he felt the sudden pain on his face.

I reached out my hand and wiped my face, and all I saw was a bright red patch on the palm of my hand.

"...hair?" Looking closely, Pancho found what had cut his cheek.

Standing on the deck of the Carrion, Pancho followed the tight strands of hair that had cut him, and then he found dense, fine strands of hair all over the ship.

Although it is said to be densely packed, the hair is too thin and you can't really see it if you don't look carefully.

Just like just now, Pancho didn't notice it and walked straight up to it, and ended up getting cut on the face by the tight hair.

Pancho drew the long knife from his waist and smashed it hard on the deck several times, wood chips flew everywhere, but still no one appeared.

After a moment of silence, he took out a Den Den Mushi from his arms and said, "Major, no enemies were found, but there is something unusual here. There is hair everywhere."

In fact, as a lookout, Pancho didn't really need to go on the attack with the ship this time.

He could have stayed on the island and waited out the battle.

But he still chose to get on board.

But this was not because he suddenly awakened some heroic spirit, but because he was simply afraid of death.

In Pancho's opinion, his cousin's husband chose to take the initiative to fight back, maybe he wanted to get some extra money, and if things didn't work out, he would take the opportunity to run away.

After all, he had never heard of any famous military achievements of this relative of his, the major.

And once he really runs away, I, who stay on the island, will be dead!

The combat power of the Vicious Dog Pirates is only at the middle level in the North Sea, but their notoriety is terrifyingly high. There is a saying that goes, it is better to meet Don Quixote than to meet Vicious Dog.

If you meet the pirates from the Don Quixote family, you will just die. If you meet a vicious dog, you will die in a very ugly way!

Pancho had made a lot of plans, but he didn't expect that his little-known and obscure cousin-in-law would be so tough this time!

He really intended to have a fight with this notorious vicious dog!

The roar of cannons echoed across the ocean.

In this ocean, an excellent sniper is very rare. At least this small branch major has no professional sniper under his command, and the marines can only use "random artillery tactics".

The result of firing at such a great distance without taking into account the wind direction was that most of the shells fell into the sea.

Although no shells hit the main body of the Corpse, and only one shell broke the sail of the ship, resulting in a health reduction of -1, the firm intention to start a war was demonstrated.

Pancho also began to panic.

But he didn't expect that what was going to make him even more panicked was yet to come.

When the first round of shelling ended and the sailors began to load new ammunition, the elderly major clenched his fists and waited.

But the expected counterattack did not come.

There was still silence on the Corpse, with no response at all.

Realizing that something was wrong, the major picked up his high-powered telescope.

No, there is no one on the opponent's deck!

The major carefully scanned the opponent's hull again, and then he found a hole on the side of the opponent's ship that was the size of several people. There was a black mark at the hole, which extended all the way to the waterline of the bottom of the Corpse.

As a veteran soldier, he could naturally recognize what the long and narrow black mark was. It was dried blood!

After a closer look, the major confirmed his guess. He found broken and rotten human tissue in the narrow black mark.

"Wait, waterline?" Following the black mark all the way to the bottom of the Corpse, the elderly major suddenly had an idea, and the knowledge he had learned in the naval training camp when he was young suddenly emerged in his mind.

Decades ago, teachers taught us how to judge the load on the enemy ship by the waterline of a ship, and then use these load data to roughly judge the enemy's material and personnel status.

Although decades had passed, he still recalled the general content at this moment.

He drew his fingertips vigorously on the wall beside him, and the calculation formula was listed. Half a minute later, after seeing the result of his calculation, the old major narrowed his wrinkled eyes.

This seems... an empty ship!

After realizing the abnormality, the major waved to the people around him and issued new instructions. The instructions were then passed on to other naval ships through flag signals as the crew on the top of the ship waved flags.

The major has a medium-sized warship that can carry 500 to 1000 people, and three small warships that can carry 200 people. Of course, these warships cannot be fully loaded, as he does not have that many people under his command.

He had originally planned to use all his assets to engage in guerrilla warfare with the enemy at sea, but now it seems that this is no longer necessary.

After hearing the order, all the warships stopped the subsequent attacks.

The major stared at the Carrion with flickering eyes. He glanced at the people around him, and finally fixed his gaze on Pancho, who insisted on following.

Although Pancho was a relative from his mother's side, he was only his wife's cousin, and the relationship between them was a bit distant. When Pancho came to seek refuge, the major simply arranged a sinecure for him to do something to avoid a fuss from his wife at home.

He usually didn't pay much attention to Pancho and didn't know much about him.

But this time, he looked at Pancho differently.

He didn't know that Pancho thought he was trying to escape.

The major, who had decided from the beginning to confront the Vicious Dog Pirates, thought that Pancho had awakened his courage and justice.

Well, since my family member is ambitious, let’s give him this opportunity.

"Private Pancho, take a few men with you and take a small boat to investigate the Carrion," the elderly major ordered.

...Ah? Me?!

When Pancho heard the order, he was completely stunned, but his immediate superior and the lieutenants around the major all looked at him.

Even though he wanted to curse in his heart, Pancho could only give a military salute and said simply, "Yes!"

This is the military, and a soldier's duty is to obey orders. If you go, you may die. If you don't go, you will be brought to a military court and will definitely die.

No, there is no need to even bring him to a military court. He can be charged with the crimes of disturbing military morale and disobeying orders. In an emergency, we can just execute him on the spot. No one can find fault with him!

Although Pancho didn't know how he had offended his cousin-in-law, at this critical juncture, he had no choice but to go ahead with it.

A martyr is better than a cowardly deserter who is sacrificed as a sacrifice, right?

The major watched Pancho's back as he sailed away on the sampan. The warship still maintained a safe distance from the Carrion.

Although calculations showed that there should be no one on the Corpse, the situation on the ship was strange and there might still be danger.

But if you want to make progress, how can you not take any risks? !

Risking your head in exchange for promotion, this is the way to rise in the navy!

Even this risky opportunity to perform meritorious service is only available to Pancho because he is related to the major. Others who want to take this risk have no way to do so!

Chapter 262: First Encounter with Navy Li Zhong

Pancho didn't dare to move. The deck was covered with fine hairs. Pancho had tested it on his own face and found that these hairs had strong cutting power when stretched straight.

A slight touch could cut through the flesh, but as for whether it could cut through the bones, Pancho didn't know and didn't intend to try.

Here, if you walk around randomly and touch a strand of hair that you haven't noticed, the lightest you'll get is a long, narrow cut.

So he chose to stay where he was and wait for further support.
