I Ascend To the Throne of God with Arcane Magic Chapter 319

Chapter 319 Hunting in progress

 Pearls are out in the sea, merchant ships of the Maude Chamber of Commerce.

The sky is gloomy and the sea breeze is a little

Captain Hoel looked gloomy and ordered his men to raise the sails and do everything possible to speed up his merchant ship.

The entire deck was also in a state of hustle and bustle. The sailors had a look of fear and terror on their faces, desperately preparing for all defenses.

 The cause of all this was the pirate ship that followed closely behind the merchant ship. The skull and crossbones flag flying on the mast clearly showed its strong malice.

 “Hold on tight, if you can't, throw the heaviest cargo overboard!”

Höel steered the rudder while nervously instructing his men.

 At this moment, he no longer cares about the loss.

God, Hoel is just an ordinary captain of the Mod Chamber of Commerce, and this merchant ship is only responsible for the exchange of goods on the coastal islands. Why would pirates target his ship?

　　If you have the time, wouldn't it be good to intercept those ships that are carrying cargo on long voyages?

 In Hoel's field of vision, the merchant ship that was only a small dot a moment ago expanded several times in an instant.

Although it is very painful, you will never lose your life or become a slave.

The sailor standing on the mast watching the direction shouted to Hoel:

 “Another ship appeared diagonally ahead!”

Huel felt very uncomfortable because he was the only one on the ship with Silver-level strength, and the other sailors were either Bronze-level or just ordinary people.

 “Damn you bastard, how dare you run away?”

“Isn't this ship a little too fast?”

Because of the existence of the Berdych Kingdom's navy, those pirates did not dare to be too presumptuous. Generally speaking, Hoel, an extremely ordinary merchant ship without much wealth, would just pay some gold coins to the pirates it encountered. .

It's better not to be an enemy!

Huel quickly picked up the telescope and looked in the direction the sailor said.

On the Pearl Sea, the navy of the Kingdom of Berdych is still the most powerful.

Pirates do not reject this kind of sensible behavior. After all, if they are too rampant, they are likely to be pursued by the navy.

That guy was shouting wildly at the merchant ship where Hoel was:

 “Captain!”

Huel is also an experienced captain, and he immediately recognized that this was a small and medium-sized merchant ship similar to theirs. This kind of merchant ship basically did not have any powerful professionals.

Huel was a little surprised. He had been paying attention to the pirate ship chasing behind him, but he didn't expect another ship to appear in front of him.

 “Signal!”

If it had been before, maybe Hoel would have given up the struggle.

Although that eagle flag does not belong to any major force in Hoel's memory.

 They saw a merchant ship about the same size as them heading in their direction.

"What?"

The sailors on the mast quickly waved their flags and conveyed messages in a common semaphore to the approaching merchant ships.

 It is impossible to resist the attack of a group of pirates!

 Watching the merchant ship approaching rapidly, Hoel was a little confused.

The sailor on the mast shouted loudly, his words showing anxiety.

"Hurry up and stop the great Lord Hutt, or I will throw you all into the sea to feed the sharks later!"

Of course, Hoel heard it clearly and didn't dare to stop.

 Lately, Hoel has heard a lot of similar things from other places. Although this does not mean that all pirates are like that, Hoel does not dare to bet.

 As long as it's not another pirate ship!

The merchant ship's mast is flying an eagle flag, which should indicate the force to which the merchant ship belongs.

 No matter what the situation is, the prey in their hands must be cramped and skinned, and the last drop of blood must be sucked out.

No matter what, with the presence of such a helper, he might be able to fight off the pirate ship that is chasing after him if he concentrates his strength.

That is your own life!

The following pirate ship was getting closer and closer to them, only two hundred meters in length. This allowed Hoel to even see the pirate leader standing on the bow waving a scimitar.

It is this kind of person who is the most ruthless and has the lowest limit.

This speed is much faster than the pirate ship behind!

“Captain, that ship is coming towards us, what should we do?”

He has never heard of this pirate's name, which shows that he is a new pirate force entering the Pearl Sea.

Huel did not hesitate and immediately gave the order.

 “Tell them we need help!”

Huel's face was a little pale, and the sailors on the ship were still making their last efforts to make the ship under their feet run faster.

 But things are different now!

 The overall shrinkage of the kingdom's naval power has made more and more pirates unable to contain their ambition and greed.

 Hope to get a chance to negotiate!

After testing and discovering that the navy had indeed given up sailing, many pirates even ignored the unspoken rules.

 Although doing so would also be noticed by the pirate ships behind them, Hoel and the others had no other choice.

The sailors struggled to signal several times in the sea wind that began to get stronger, but there was no response from the other merchant ship. Instead, it sailed faster and faster.

On the blue sea with waves, it was cut apart by the swift merchant ship, and the surging white waves told the rapid progress.

Huel naturally noticed this, and was a little stunned, froze on the spot.

With this indomitable momentum, do they want to collide with the ship and perish together?

On the eagle-flag merchant ship,

Li Si stood on the deck and looked at the two ships chasing each other in the distance.

This is already a month after they left Tanah Port. Although the time spent sailing on the sea is boring, it is not bad when there is a change in life.

That's hunting pirate ships!

 In this month, Li Si has sunk three pirate ships and gained a considerable amount of wealth.

As for those pirates, after Li Si confirmed that they were all bad guys, he threw them all into the sea to feed the sharks.

 It is okay to take them back to the seaport as slaves and sell them, but Li Si no longer values ​​those gold coins.

What's more, he can't put so many people on his ship, so it would be more appropriate to let them return to nature.

 After Li Si completed the magical reinforcement and strengthening of the ship, he set off with Helen and others.

The people on the ship now include Lis, Helen, Bazel, Aivar and Charles. In addition, Lis also hired more than ten sailors to do some chores on the ship.

As the mercenary with the most experience in sailing, Aivar was directly appointed as first mate by Li Si, and all basic affairs on the ship were handed over to him. Your daily task is to wander around the Pearl Sea, looking for pirate ships scurrying around.

After the sailors hired by Li Si learned that they were going to hunt down the pirate ship, many of them turned pale with fear and asked to get off the ship.

However, after Li Si and others defeated three pirate ships and got a lot of gold coins, things started to get really good again.

 Now, the most positive people to see pirate ships are the sailors.

For example, right now, I am screaming and working hard, trying to catch the pirate ship as soon as possible.

Of course, there's not much they can do.

 After Li Si's magical strengthening of this merchant ship, the strength of the hull increased significantly. At the same time, thanks to the blessing of water elemental magic, the speed of this sea ship was twice as fast as before.

Although it is not as good as the [Ghost Ship] and [Sea King Ship], which have been transformed into extraordinary ships, it is still much better than the sea ships made by ordinary craftsmen.

By the way, this ship that was modified by Li Si was named [Eagle], which is also the emblem of the Kane family.

At this time, Aivar stood beside Li Si and looked at the pirate ship in the distance.

“Master Li Si, should we stick to the previous method?”

Aivar asked in a deep voice. Although he had already commanded several naval battles, he still wanted to get Li Si's confirmation.

 For nothing else, the combat policy formulated by Li Si was a bit too reckless.

“Well, the original plan remains unchanged. The pirate ship looks average, so there is no value in spending any more effort.”

Li Si looked at the pirate ship carefully through detection magic, shook his head and said.

 Think about it, any good ships that such average pirates can get are basically converted from robbed small and medium-sized merchant ships.

"OK."

 Aivar nodded, feeling confident.

Although he only followed Lisi in order to land on the mysterious island, he didn't expect to end up doing the job of robbing pirates.

Pirates active in the Pearl Sea who are strong enough or have caused enough damage will be officially wanted and a large bounty will be placed on their heads.

  Many people in the mercenary guild have received bounties, but they were basically those pirates that were easily eliminated while completing other commissioned tasks, and they were brought back to collect the rewards.

It is really rare for someone like Li Si to have a sea ship specifically to hunt pirates.

However, Aivar also had a vague guess that Master Li Si should have done this to enter the mysterious island as soon as possible.

So Aivar was content and took care of the affairs on the ship diligently every day, and his work attitude was much more positive than when he was on the Mermaid.

As for Charles and Barzel, these two people have much more leisure.

Li Si didn't care about the two of them. They had become good drinking buddies. They just leaned on the deck holding a wine bottle every day, bragging and watching Helen exercise.

Other than that, I only took action during the previous few hunts for pirates.

I have to say that these people on Li Si's ship are quite strong, and they can be considered strong among the silver level.

 Especially Charles, who received support and cooperation, finally showed his strength as a hunter.

He is covered in tendons and is holding a heavy steel bow. Every time he shoots a long arrow, it is so powerful and heavy that you can even hear the explosion as it passes through the air.

 Charles should be an archer who specializes in heavy arrows, which is still relatively rare among hunters.

However, this kind of Charles is quite a terrifying threat at medium and long distances, and his expertise can be fully utilized in naval battles.

 In the first three battles, with Eivar and Bazel restrained, he had killed four silver-level professionals while standing on the Eagle.

Li Si didn't even do anything, and things were arranged quite appropriately by these people.

However, Li Si doesn't care. The stronger these three people are, the better.

  In any case, it is the team that Li Si plans to leave to Helen, which will be the foundation for her to become a "sea general" in the future.

 Speaking of Helen, during this month-long sea voyage, she had successfully practiced the body-building method that Lis taught her and was promoted to a bronze warrior.

Although her current strength is still quite weak, she is completely different from her past self.

 In Li Si's view, the biggest change in Helen is that she has become more confident and has more smiles on her face every day.

 At the same time, after becoming a paranormal professional, Helen's talent really began to show itself.

 The speed at which he learned basic martial arts was quite astonishing, and he also had a strong understanding of various warrior techniques and tactics. For a time, Bazel, who considered himself a genius, became a little autistic.

In Li Si's view, this is a matter of course. After all, Helen will be a strong person who can reach the golden peak in the future and touch the legendary realm.

Although it was not until Li Si was reborn that she failed to break through to legend.

Of course, Helen can only look forward to the future now.

Now Helen is holding tightly on the long sword Li Si gave her, wearing the special armor Li Si gave her, looking nervously at the pirate ship in the distance.

 In the previous battle, Li Si did not let Helen participate in the battle for her safety.

  Helen also got the opportunity to participate in the battle after repeatedly requesting Li Si.

Although Helen has become a warrior professional, she is only twelve or thirteen years old, and her actual combat ability is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary adults.

Li Si Bazel followed Helen this time, preparing to let Helen experience herself in this battle.

Helen needed a chance to see blood. After all, for her, although her previous experience was quite bumpy, her journey to the extraordinary after meeting Li Si was considered to be quite smooth.

Helen is not like Li Si, who has memories inherited from her previous life, and her fighting thinking and fighting mentality are already quite mature.

 She still needs to exercise bit by bit and accumulate from scratch.

Li Si doesn't want to raise Helen as a vase, and the ups and downs that need to be faced are inevitable.

  Anyway, with Li Si and Bazel here, there is no need to worry about Helen's safety.

　　Everyone on the [Eagle] is ready to welcome the arrival of a new battle.

Due to the influence of magic, the speed of the [Eagle] was much faster than those two ships, so Li Si controlled the [Eagle] to avoid the merchant ship in front and rammed hard into the pirate ship behind. .

"What?!"

Standing on the merchant ship Hoel of the Mod Chamber of Commerce, he watched in shock as the Eagle passed by their ship and hit the pirate ship behind it without slowing down at all.

The people on the pirate ship behind were even more frightened. They shouted at the Eagle and turned desperately to avoid the ship that suddenly rushed out.

 But there was no rush to avoid it. Just when the pirate ship turned,

The [Eagle] speed did not slow down at all, and it directly hit the hull of the pirate ship.

　　Bang! !

Huge sound echoed in the sea area, and the bow of the [Eagle] slammed into the hull of the pirate ship.

 The imagined situation of both ships being completely destroyed did not occur.

The pirate ship was almost broken by the [Eagle], but the bow of the [Eagle] flashed with black magic light, without any damage.
