Under the leadership of the "Black Locust", three huge slave cargo ships cut through the waves. When it was half a day away from the castle, Ella commanded the ship to make a ninety-degree turn.

The soldiers in Taila Port who were on board were unknown, so Liu Peng directly ordered them to be thrown off the ship. Amidst the curses of these people, the four ships drove away.

"Happy!" Liu Peng sat on the bow and raised his wine glass, and then the strong wind poured into his mouth, and he shut his mouth quickly.

Celis laughed loudly, and then the bow of the boat hit a wave, a huge wave hit him, and the sea water rushed into his mouth, making him cough uncontrollably.

Christine was rarely allowed to come out to watch the wind, and the strong wind blew her long skirt fluttering, revealing her slender figure.

Another wave hit, and Liu Peng had to get down from the bow, and his clothes were all wet when he stayed there. Just as he got down to the bow compartment, he found Ella frowning at the map.

"Ayla." Liu Peng patted him on the shoulder, "I told you to come up for a drink, what map are you looking at here? Didn't you say go to Gavas Island first!"

It is still a small border island controlled by the empire, and it takes about two days to arrive from the mainland. Merchant ships heading to Oran sometimes park there, and ocean-going ships going south from the north will also pass by there, and then follow It moves southward with the Oran Current in the West Sea.

They decided to go west from the most suitable location, and then arrived at Gavas Island. After replenishing water and food there, they decided to buy a fast boat or go directly north to the Nord Kingdom.

"That's not what I'm thinking about." Ella said, "Mr. Captain, haven't you noticed that the wind direction has changed!"

Wind direction, for the sailors who make a living in this era, it is the most critical sailing factor, because almost all ocean-going ships rely heavily on wind force and wind direction.

But Liu Peng didn't know much about the sea conditions in this sea area, so he asked, "So what will change?"

Ella shook her hand slightly: "I'm not sure, the wind direction has changed a month earlier than before, I hope the storm can come slower."

"Storm?" Liu Peng was a little surprised, "Do storms come every year?"

Ella explained: "Every year there are hurricanes in the late summer. If you are lucky, you come two or three times and it disappears. One year it came thirteen times."

"Then we will definitely meet?" Liu Peng asked.

"Of course I can't be sure. It would be great if we could directly help with the transportation yesterday. If we lose some food and equipment, at least we can survive." Ella said, "It's just that our current route is indeed prone to hurricanes. Once we encounter a storm , change the course and dodge.”

"Pray that we have a safe journey." Celis hiccupped and came down from above.

Ella looked serious, looked at Christine who was leaning against the side of the boat, and said, "It's very unlucky, I'm worried about offending the Sea God."

"It'll be fine." Liu Peng was very generous, "I don't know why you guys are so superstitious, that woman doesn't even need to take a boat!"

Aila contradicted Liu Peng very rarely: "We are talking about those passenger ships that carry people, but whether they are warships or pirates, they all abide by this rule. Even maritime merchants, as long as they want to go smoothly, they dare not take women. aboard."

"That's why Sea God didn't meet me!" Liu Peng drank up the wine in his glass, "I like to break the rules. If he has an opinion, let him talk to me!"

Liu Peng stubbornly walked away, and when he passed by Christine, he hugged and pecked at him, and was chased by Christine on the boat screaming and holding a dagger.

Celis patted Ayla on the shoulder: "The captain was born as a slave. If the sea god is really useful, then they must be the ones who pray the most."

Ella also expressed helplessness, and then took a drink from the glass next to her: "Then let the storm be more violent!"

At night, the thing that Ella didn't want to happen happened. The huge waves made the whole ship sway. One wave after another, everyone was woken up by the turbulent waves. Liu Peng opened his eyes and found that the whole The room was swaying, as if about to be turned upside down.

Liu Peng supported the wall and walked out of the room. It was pitch black outside, and there was not even a little light to be seen. He walked to the stern, and the three large ships following him could not be seen.

"Govic, is there anything wrong with you?" Liu Peng silently contacted Gajegovic.

"It's okay, my lord. The captain is trying his best to control the direction, and the sailors are doing their best to assist the captain to stabilize the ship." Gajegovic's voice comforted Liu Peng a little.

"bump!"

There was another big wave, and the whole deck was soaked. With the strong wind blowing in, Liu Peng couldn't tell which ones were waves and which ones were rainwater for a while.

"Crackling." Christine also pushed open the door and snorted when she saw Liu Peng.

"Go in!" Liu Peng didn't want to waste time talking.

Christine felt the strong wind and waves outside, and her clothes got wet immediately, so she hurried into the room.

Holding on to the wall with difficulty to the bow, the pirates of the West Sea were furling the sails to secure the items on the deck.

On the upper deck, Ella desperately turned the rudder, and Liu Peng came up with a hand on the railing and smiled, "Has the God of the Sea come to punish me?"

"Does it make sense to say that now?" Ella snapped back.

"Big waves on the left, turn the rudder!" Celis was actually standing above the mast, and the two of them had already noticed that the sea conditions were not right for a long time.

With a violent shaking, the sea water even submerged the decoration of the bow, and the flying water splashed directly to the uppermost floor.

"What should I do now?" To be honest, although Liu Peng has been on the ship for more than half a year, he can only be regarded as a novice in many cases.

"Steady, wait for the rain to stop." Ayla turned the rudder sharply, and there was another violent impact, and the waves rushed directly to the highest floor.

This was the only way. Liu Peng thought that now was the time for the biggest storm, but after a while, a stronger wind hit, and Liu Peng almost failed to stand still and was blown into the sea.

Although Liu Peng was lucky, a pirate warrior from the West Sea was unfortunately hit by a rolling wooden barrel, and he was thrown into the sea together with the wooden barrel, and he disappeared in an instant.

The fierce storm lasted most of the night, and the "Black Locust" almost capsized in the huge waves several times, relying on the lightness and perfect structure of the hull, it also survived time and time again.

In the middle of the night, the heavy rain gradually subsided, and Ella hurriedly asked the pirates to raise their sails and gallop in one direction until the sky turned pale, and everyone relaxed.

Entering a safe sea area, everyone sat powerlessly on the deck, and Celes, who was running up and down, fell asleep directly.

"Ceres, go back to the room and sleep, don't die of cold." Liu Peng kicked him awake, now the deck is full of water, don't suffer from hypothermia and freeze to death on the boat, he has seen many .

After driving the wet crew back, Liu Peng contacted Gajegovic in his mind.

It took a while for Govic to respond to Liu Peng's call. When asked about the situation, Govic said: "It's very bad, General. In order to make the ship more stable, we abandoned a considerable amount of food. In addition, three people accidentally fell into the sea." , There is no news about the other two ships.”

Liu Peng contacted and summoned the unit, he could only look for it in a specific direction. He had no memory of those soldiers at all, so even if he called, they probably didn't know they were calling him.

"Fix your location first. If you can reach Gavas Island first, go to Gavas Island and wait for us. If you deviate from the navigation, try not to get close to the empire." Liu Peng said.

"Yes, General," Gajegovich replied.

Liu Peng returned to the captain's cabin, changed into dry clothes, and a pirate from the West Sea ran over: "Captain, the bottom of the ship is leaking."

It was really a wave of ups and downs, and Liu Peng hurried to the lower floor. It may be that the shaking was too violent yesterday, and a trebuchet or other siege equipment flew up and hit the bottom of the ship.

Fortunately, there were only cracks, and Liu Peng ordered them to take turns to scoop water, anyway, until they saw land.

But seeing that the dozen or so pirates looked exhausted, Liu Peng directly summoned ten junior pirates and spent 100 gold coins.

"You guys, work in two shifts and scoop out the water from the bottom of the boat!" Liu Peng ordered them, "If there is any wood, find a way to repair it."

He didn't expect these guys to be able to repair the boat, anyway, it's a temporary traffic jam. When he got up from the bottom of the boat, he saw Christine in a white dress standing at his door.

"What's wrong with you?" Liu Peng could hardly keep his eyes open now.

When Christine saw him coming up from the bottom of the boat, she was a little puzzled: "How did you get down?"

"The bottom of the boat is cracked, I asked someone to bail out the water, what's wrong?" Liu Peng was not angry.

"No, I, I just want to ask if there is anything I can do to help?" Christine asked a little embarrassed.

"Have."

Liu Peng motioned for her to borrow his position: "Stay in the room obediently, and spoil you when I am free someday."

"Hmph, beast!" Christine went back to her room angrily.

Liu Peng went back to his room and took a deep sleep. When he woke up again, the sky was gray, as if the storm hadn't passed.

Then he jumped up directly and rushed to the window. Fortunately, it wasn't raining gray, but it was getting dark.

"Mr. Captain?" Celes came over with a plate of pastries that looked good, "Come and try, it tastes good."

Liu Peng randomly picked one up and put it in his mouth: "How about it, how long have I been sleeping... Well, it tastes good, when did you buy it secretly?"

"Miss Christine did it." Celis laughed. "You've slept all day, and it's getting dark now."

Liu Peng was a little shocked: "Will she still do this? Wait, is this the next day?"

"Yes." Sailis said, "But Mr. Ella hasn't located the specific location yet, it may be convenient after touching the island."

"Look at the star map!" Liu Peng said.

"The star map seems to have been washed away yesterday, but I couldn't find it," Sailis said.

Liu Peng found Aila and asked about the situation. Aila also smiled wryly: "The only thing I know now is that the storm has engulfed us to the west, and now we are heading south with the wind!"

"Going south? Isn't that getting farther and farther away from our destination?" Liu Peng asked.

Ella affirmed his thoughts: "That's right, and we can't turn around at will, because we don't know exactly where we are blown to the south. Before we find the island, try to keep sailing in a fixed direction."

After sailing in a fixed direction for more than half a month, Ayla confirmed the approximate location. What makes people laugh and cry is that they are about to reach the South China Sea, and Gajegovic and the others are still floating on the sea without landing.

"Captain, I found an island on the left front." Celis' excited voice came from the mast.

"Let's go up." Liu Peng also breathed a sigh of relief, he could finally stop and rest, after all there is a big hidden danger at the bottom of the boat!
