852 Undercover Agen (1/2)

”Boss!”

What happened on Great Octopus appalled the Octopus Marauder Team's two remaining ships. They no longer cared about looting and quickly left the battlefield after rescuing Orlando.

Fang Yuan returned to Fiery Lotus and waved his hand.

”Full speed ahead. The target… Heathfrey's flagship!”

Bullying Orlando was just like an adult bullying a child. There was absolutely no sense of accomplishment.

In contrast, after his display of single-handedly wiping out a ship of pirates, especially one with Sorcerer Orlando and the gigantic octopus, the three hundred newly recruited pirates were left with only reverence in their eyes.

Following Fang Yuan bellow, Fiery Lotus immediately started to move at lightning speed.

”Open fire! Open fire!”

The opposing slave trader's flagship was also a five-masted ship. Its numerous cannons were currently roaring and releasing deafening howls.

”Counterattack!”

When it came to cannon fire, Fiery Lotus did not have the slightest fear. After all, it was originally a military warship created entirely for the purpose of naval battles.

Amid Fang Yuan's shouts, a hundred cannons were similarly roaring to strike back.

Kaboom!

Multiple explosions resounded on both Fiery Lotus's and the opposing flagship's hulls.

”Musketeers!”

As the ships got closer, the musketeers from both parties aimed at one another and began a round of brutal shooting.

From time to time, pirates and sailors shrieked in misery, blood gushing out of their bodies as they fell into the ocean.

Fang Yuan's expression was as cold as ice. When the two ships were parallel to each other, he immediately ordered, ”Start boarding!”

The pirates tossed over iron hooks that were tied to mooring ropes one after another. Some climbed up the ropes; others directly grabbed a rope and swung across.

Butcher took the lead and landed on the deck. Roaring like a ferocious tiger, he slashed with his huge cutlass, instantly decapitating many pirates.

When the neighboring armed merchant ships belonging to Heathfrey saw this, they quickly rushed over to assist.

However, Fang Yuan chuckled and released a dense fog, thoroughly enveloping the two ships that were in the middle of a fight.

”Counterattack! Counterattack!”

Formosa definitely would not let this opportunity slip by, immediately changing his original order to escape.

Although his ship was a merchant ship, he had done several modifications to it to handle the situation in the Nightmare Ocean.

At this moment, numerous cannons fired simultaneously, immediately pinning down Heathfrey's remaining armed merchant ships.

Fang Yuan came to the deck, looked at the slave trader in the center of the crowd opposite him, and laughed heartily. ”Haha… Heathfrey, who would have thought that we'd meet again so soon!”

”Arcane Trickster Roche… Damn it, do you know what kind of enemy you're messing with? I am affiliated with the great pirate governor Blackbeard…”

Heathfrey glared at Fang Yuan with eyes full of hatred.

This pirate had repeatedly destroyed his plans. He was practically wishing to eat Fang Yuan's flesh right now.

”Kill them!” Fang Yuan sneered. ”Reward five gold coins for every ordinary sailor killed and double for high-ranking sailors! That black fatty is worth one thousand gold coins!”

”Owoo! Owoo!”

The promise of handsome rewards immediately stimulated the pirates' wolf-like nature.

Soon, the deck was in complete chaos.

Cutlasses, firearms, and bows and arrows were chaotically intertwined together.

Blood splattered everywhere, rapidly accumulating a thick layer on the deck.

”Damn it! Retreat to the ship's hold!”

After all, Heathfrey was not a professional pirate. Furthermore, his forces were scattered and his reinforcements were held back by Formosa.

With a roar, he brought his last remaining elite troops and retreated into the ship's hold.

”Haha… Boss, they're doomed!”

When Bill saw this, he laughed out loud and looked toward Fang Yuan expectantly.

After all, the situation when they seized Fiery Lotus was still vivid in their minds.

”He isn't an idiot… Besides, as a major slave trader that dominated the Nightmare Ocean, how could he not have any trump cards on hand?”

In contrast, Fang Yuan's expression was solemn.

Suddenly, streaks of hazy light rays emerged from the ship's hull.

The blood on the deck continually seeped downward, seemingly attracted to some array.

Swoosh!

Soon, following the sounds of a charge, three knights in black armor dashed out from the hatch.

Resembling ghosts under the curtain of night, they were fully clad in black heavy armor and had black mounts as well. Only in their and their horses' eyes were there still a glint of scarlet twinkling.

The horses galloped on the deck as though it was nothing. When firearms, swords, and sabers landed on them, they did not suffer from even the slightest damage. Yet when they waved their long swords, it often took the lives of numerous pirates.

”They're Ghost Riders!” Rolisa's expression changed. ”One of Heathfrey's subordinates is a necromancer who's very proficient in summoning undead creatures for combat…”

She was enemies with him, so naturally she had inquired about his trump cards long ago.

These three Ghost Riders were equivalent to three Extraordinary creatures. They barged into the pirates and wantonly reaped their lives.

Butcher howled and dashed forward. His huge cutlass clashed with a long sword, and he was sent flying.

”Prepare a cannon!”
