After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 15 Who said we were running away?
  Before dawn breaks, mist floats on the sea.

"Roshan" Salem Blois stood at the front of the deck of the "Skull". He was two meters tall and wore a scimitar at his waist. He looked fat and bloated, like a little giant. All the pirates around him looked at him. The eyes towards him were filled with fear and respect.

Staring at the [Black Rose] in the mist in the distance, "Roshan" Salem's plump face showed no expression, but different thoughts emerged in his mind.

As pirates, it is normal to rob other ships. This is their way of survival. But generally speaking, pirate ships will not attack each other unless there is a huge conflict of interest.

After all, conflicts will bring casualties, and no one can guarantee victory.

"Roshan" Salem took advantage of the night to launch a surprise attack on the [Black Rose]. The biggest reason was not for profit, but because of a secret instruction.

He was able to prosper at sea, from an ordinary person to the current captain of the [Skull] and a first-level official professional, not because of how hard he worked, but because of the people behind him.

Before he went to sea, he received funding from a big shot whose identity he didn't even know.

This big man secretly helped him solve many troublesome problems, including the magic potion he needed to advance to the first level of professionalism, which was also given by this big man.

As a price, "Roshan" Salem needs to work for him secretly.

Salem was not dissatisfied with this, but was very happy with it.

After all, he can get a generous reward for every secret mission he completes. For a person like him, this is a very reasonable deal, isn't it?

As for possible retaliation?
  Come on, he's already a wanted pirate by the Royal Navy, so why should he be afraid of retaliation?
  "Roshan" Salem's eyes were cold and deep.

According to this secret order, he needs to eliminate everyone on the [Black Rose], especially a "bloody son" named Ryan Leland. In order to ensure the absolute success of the mission, the big shot also Gave him a secret weapon.

Allam scoffed at this.

Of course, the object of his disdain is not the secret weapon, but the [Black Rose].

Pirates are also divided into three, six or nine levels.

The strength and status of pirates off the coast of Silver Moon Bay are defined by the amount of reward offered by the Royal Navy.

From 0 to 999 pounds, they are considered low-class pirates. The Royal Navy doesn't even bother to pay attention to such pirates. They put a bounty on them and get rid of them. They are usually single people or small groups of three or five people.

1000 to 3000 pounds. They are novice pirates who are a certain threat but have not entered the professional field. They rely on numbers to win. The pirate group they belong to usually has [-] to [-] people.

It's different if it's over 3000 pounds. Only pirate captains who enter the professional field and have a complete pirate formation under their command will be given a bounty of this size.

The [Black Rose] belongs to a novice pirate group. The bounty offered by its captain is 1000 pounds or 1500 pounds. "Roshan" Salem can no longer remember clearly. After all, in the past, he was not even lazy for such a pirate group. Have a look.

And he, "Roshan" Salem, has a bounty of a terrifying 18000 pounds!
  Belong to the best among professional pirates!
  The strength gap between the first level and the first level is also huge.

"Go full speed, kill!"

"Leave no one alive!"

"Roshan" Salem drew out the scimitar from his waist, pointed it directly at the [Black Rose] ahead, and shouted loudly.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

In an instant, the pirates on the [Skull] echoed ferociously, looking at the three-masted sailboat in the distance with cruel eyes like hungry wolves.

……

"Report Captain! There are traces of the pirate ship [Skeleton] in the northwest direction!"       "It's Salem, the 'Roshan' with a bounty of 18000 pounds!"

"It's over, we're dead."

As the name "Skull" spread, the pirates on the deck of "Black Rose" showed fear in their eyes.

In the offshore area of ​​Silver Moon Bay, the [Skull] can be described as an "overlord"-like existence!

The merchant ships they plundered were never left alive, and any pirates who dared to provoke them were turned into bones.

A pirate group of this level is already qualified to leave the offshore area and go deeper into the sea.

The pirates of the [Black Rose] couldn't figure out why they and others were targeted by such a terrifying guy.

Just as panic was about to spread on the ship, a look of solemnity suddenly sounded.

"Everyone, get back to your seats!"

"The rigging length raises the topsail, the helmsman holds the rudder, and maintains the top speed."

"Those who disobey orders will be killed!"

There was a convincing majesty in the voice, and all the pirates moved subconsciously according to their respective responsibilities.

Ryan raised his head and looked at Captain Freni and Knight Cecilia who came out of the captain's cabin.

The first thing that catches the eye is Freni's very eye-catching fluffy witch hat. The crooked tip of the hat makes people have the urge to straighten it.

The person who gave the order just now was not the captain Freni, but the knight Cecilia standing beside her.

The pale silver chain mail shirt outlines the girl's strong but gentle curves. The unsheathed sword at her waist gives people a sharp and dazzling feeling.

She seems to know a lot about naval warfare?
  This thought came to Ryan's mind.

Under Cecilia's order, the pirates performed their duties and quickly increased the speed of the [Black Rose]. Although the distance was still being shortened little by little by the [Skull] behind, Finally there is some room for buffering.

Staring at the [Skull] behind, the fluttering white and skull flag fluttered wantonly in the sea breeze, as if mocking everyone on the [Black Rose]. All they did was to resist.

Right now, although the [Black Rose] has increased its speed to the limit, the distance between the two sides is still decreasing.

This is a gap in boat performance that is difficult to bridge.

Ryan looked solemn.

"Tap..."

The sound of light footsteps came from behind. Ryan turned his head to look and found that the person who came was actually Captain Freni.

As for the knight Cecilia, she is standing on the highest deck at the moment, commanding the pirates.

Walking to Ryan and standing side by side, Freni raised her hand, pointed her delicate white fingers at the [Skeleton] in the mist in the distance, and said softly: "Mr. Ryan, have you felt it? That strong, selective... Malice that people want to devour.”

"..." Ryan was silent for a moment: "I feel it."

"Captain, the wind is now northeasterly, with wind strength at level 5. The wind strength has no tendency to change in a short period of time. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before we are overtaken."

"Indeed." Freni put down her hand and nodded slightly. The huge witch hat swayed a few times with the owner's movements: "But who said we were escaping?"
