Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 419 The Strange Ship

Above the ocean, there is a vast expanse of blue waves.

On the vast and endless sea, a huge fleet is cleaving the waves and sailing forward.

Although this fleet is huge, it is arranged very neatly. There are ships of various sizes, but it does not look chaotic at all.

At the forefront of the fleet are three pitch-black medium-sized warships in the shape of a mountain. As vanguards, they lead the entire fleet.

Behind them, there are dozens of small dragon-headed battleships. They not only rely on sails to move forward, but also have a long row of oars protruding from the portholes on both sides of the hull. These oars can be lowered and slid at any time to increase speed.

Surrounded by many small boats, there are four large warships with sliced ​​sails and numerous shooting holes in the hull. The bloodstains looked like elite warships that had experienced battles.

And in the guard of these four large warships, there is an even larger, pitch-black terrifying giant ship!
The hull of the giant ship is wrapped with countless fine iron chains, and countless pale skulls are pierced on the iron chains, and many of the skulls have been eroded by the sea water, stained with a strange dark green color. color.And on the black canvas on the giant ship, a huge blood-red skeleton floated in the wind, like a living creature, staring ferociously at the entire ocean.

This is the Deathlord, the flagship of the Vikings!And this fleet is the fleet of Viking pirates!

The Viking pirates are the masters of the North Atlantic Ocean. In this ocean, they are kings and emperors!

They can wantonly hunt any merchant ships they find, or those coastal ports that are loosely guarded.They can kill wantonly, plunder wantonly, abuse wantonly, indulge wantonly.
But the ocean is vast and extends in all directions. As long as you have a good ability to distinguish directions, the entire ocean can be a waterway. It is not easy to find those merchant ships that are driven by profit and hide in Tibet.

Therefore, in many cases, the Viking fleet was separated, divided into small fleets, divided into good areas, cast a wide net, and searched carefully to ensure that enough "prey" were hunted.

Only occasionally, when there is some major action, several fleets will gather and act together. For example, in the two attacks against France, half of the fleet was assembled before launching the action.

But now it's different!Now it's not part, not half, or more than half, but all!

All the Viking fleets have been assembled, all the way to the south!
On the Death Lord, in the huge and spacious captain's cabin, two giants of incomparably tall stature were sitting opposite each other.

It is the Viking Pirate King and his brother Thor, or Arno.

"These bastards in the Caribbean are well-informed, and they are all hiding now!" The Viking Pirate King put down the wine glass in his hand with an angry face.

"We are here this time, seeking revenge from them is only one aspect!" Arnold didn't seem in a hurry: "The key is to capture the Spice Islands! Control this golden business road! In the past, we were not as strong as their pirate alliance, so we have to take this Give them a piece of fat, and now I have broken through, they still only have one black beard, as long as we kill him, it will not be difficult to control the Pirate Alliance, control the gold business! Really become the master of this entire ocean!"

"But they also know our plan!" The Viking Pirate King frowned: "They are not doing business now, and they are all hiding and avoiding fighting. It seems that they want to procrastinate."

"Then procrastinate!" Arnold looked more mature than before, and his tone was very decisive: "They want to hide, they are local snakes, and they are familiar with this sea area, so there is nothing we can do. But the Spice Islands cannot hide Yes, you can’t hide from the golden business roads! They are there! Taking advantage of this opportunity, we occupied the islands and the business roads! I’d like to see how long they can keep up with their old habits!”

"Oh" the Viking Pirate King's eyes lit up, showing a hint of approval: "That's right, that's right. Let's occupy their eating place first. They can't hold on anymore, and they will come out to fight us after all! When the time comes, we will Let’s slaughter that bastard of Blackbeard together! Help you avenge your severed arm!”

"Hey, this is not a big hatred." A Nuo's tone was calm, and he seemed to have already seen it: "It was because I was too young and naive that I fell into their tricks."

Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the door of the captain's cabin.

"Come in." The Viking Pirate King shouted.

The door opened, and a strong man with a horn helmet came in, and reported: "Report to your lord, the boy above said that he found a strange ship in the east, saying that it had no sails or oars."

"What? What? Please explain clearly!" The Viking Pirate King expressed his puzzlement: "I understand without oars. What do you mean without a sail? Is it without a sail or without a mast at all?"

"This, this..." The brawny man was obviously not good at words, and he was stunned for a while before he said nonchalantly: "I'll ask! Now I'll ask!"

Seeing that he was about to go out after finishing speaking, the Viking Pirate King waved his hand impatiently: "Forget it, if you have the time to ask, maybe others will run away! I will go and see for myself, how many ships are there?" strangeness!"

After saying that, he stood up, stretched out his hand, and the huge square hammer flew into his hand, then walked out the door, with a touch of his foot, he flew into the sky.

On the sea, whether it is a pirate ship launching a plunder, or a merchant ship preventing a plunder, the most important thing is not the speed of the ship, or the number of masters, but the distance of vision!
The sea is wide and flat, stretching as far as the eye can see. The farther and wider the field of vision, the more natural it is to find the enemy first. Whether it is encircling and looting, or trying to evade the enemy, you can take the lead. If you arrange it properly, you can naturally have a full meal , or escape the fate of being feasted.

Standing tall naturally see far, this is a very simple truth.

In order to expand their field of vision and see farther, most navigators rely on the tall mainmast, the small observation deck on it, and the person with excellent eyesight in the observation deck. lookout hand.

But a ship is a ship after all, no matter how high the mast is erected, there is a limit, so even the best lookouts have a limit to their vision!

But the Vikings were different!They have Wu Sheng!A warrior who can fly high and soar into the sky!Their vision has no limits!

The Viking pirate king rose higher and higher, and when he couldn't breathe, he surpassed the main mast and rose into the sky.

Looking to the east, he also saw that strange ship!
A very strange ship indeed!
Its surface is pitch black, and it is impossible to see what material is used.And it has no small openings for oars or shooting ports for ballistas on its hull, which is very smooth.But the strangest thing is that it has no sails, really no sails, because it doesn't even have a mast!Except for a part of the hull that protrudes to accommodate people, the entire deck is very flat.But its speed is not slow at all, not even inferior to those small fast ships sailing with full sail.

It's interesting how it can run so fast without a sail.
Touching his chin, the Viking Pirate King was clearly interested.

"I'll go and have a look!" After ordering to Arnold below, he flew towards the strange ship.
