Gray-white cliffs stand high in the mist. Such scenery can often be seen in the fjords around Soparachi, like silent giants standing by the sea, and ships passing by their feet, so small that they are scary. The wind is a bit cold. It's not the rustling chill after the firs lead the autumn evening, but the biting low temperature, because this is the south of the big glacier, and when people talk about the big glacier, they always change their colors.
The wind screamed at the top of the gorge, making a noise like a ruler scraping across rags. The clouds over the fjord make people feel like the sky is falling down at any time.
In theory, the fog should have been blown away in such a bad weather. But the wind poured straight into the fjord, and the fog outside kept pouring in. Instead, it made the clouds and mist over the strait toss, as if it didn't stop for a moment.
The fleet departed from Gussel and reached Soparachi in three or four hours. Because of the fog coming from the north, it had to avoid the fjord in advance. The topography of Soparachi Fjord is complicated. After traveling through the winding strait for almost half an hour, it is no longer clear to distinguish front, back, left, and right.
As for the pirate's hiding place, it is even more vague.
Brando was not in a hurry. The rule of law swept through the surrounding bay gorges over and over again, carefully searching for the clues he wanted, and soon he found an unusual place. A quarter of an hour later, the fleet appeared there.
It was a gorge in the bay with its own space in the abdomen. The 90-degree angle at the entrance blocked the wind from the outside, making the wide waters seem a bit quiet, with a little mist floating on the water, like a veil.
There is a huge hole in the depths of this inner gorge. The hole is connected to the sea surface, which can allow the ship to navigate. In addition, it is located deep in the fjord, which is very private and suitable for pirates to hide. If it hadn't been for him to spread out his extreme plain, most people wouldn't be able to find it.
When the three boats slowly sailed into this inner gorge, through the mist, and saw the huge hole hanging lonely on the cliff, everyone could not help looking at this man from Egypt with both admiration and admiration. Lord Ruin's Count.
This road is not unthrilling, but Brando led them to fight the siege from Gusail first, and then took out the mythical wealth, brazenly "burned", and just let the fleet go by the wind, before the early morning. Arrived in Soparachi.
Then he decisively ordered the fleet to escape into the fjord ahead of time, led them through the fog with his own strength, and came to this place. Seeing that the pirate's hiding place is right in front of him, even if he is on the opposing side, Instalong and Targus couldn't help but cheer for each other.
"Madala is not incapable of a nobleman from another country, Lord Earl, if you are willing to surrender to your majesty, Elu will remain the same."
Instalong didn't know how many times it was the first time Brando whispered like this.
Brando stood on the bow of the ship, looked back at him with a slight smile, and shook his head: "Can you promise for this, and I have no intention of becoming the King of Eruin. I will have a good talk with your majesty." But who is the dominant one is still uncertain."
Instaron sighed, and when the two people saw it, I was afraid that it would be unpredictable after that.
But even if Madara had another outstanding dark nobleman, that would be good. In the subconscious, he no longer regarded Brando as a person of the same level as himself, but compared him with the existence of the mercury stick.
But he still didn't think Brando had any chance. He didn't have the slightest doubt in his heart about the rise of the Kingdom of the Dead Moon, and in another time and space, it was indeed the same.
The three ships slowly entered the cave, and the surrounding light dimmed suddenly. Adeni’s knights lit the torch. Under the light of the swaying fire, everyone found that the cave was extremely wide—a wide and deep cave. The water channel of Yangtze River plunges into the dark depths, surrounded by smooth limestone cave walls. The cave is thirty to fifty feet high, and there are countless stalactite pillars hanging densely above its head.
Brando and Tagus had made up their minds to drive in at the risk of letting the ship run aground, but they didn't expect that this waterway was very good, with deep draft, and it turned out to be like a natural harbor, although the throughput might be a bit smaller. But it is also extremely rare as an anchorage. God knows how the pirates discovered this place in the first place.
The light of the torch slowly moved forward as the ship moved forward, illuminating the walls of the surrounding black holes transparently. The limestone of the cave walls did not know what kind of metal was mixed in, and it actually reflected the yellow light.
But this deep waterway finally came to an end. Soon they saw a small bay where one or two boats could be moored. There seemed to be a simple pier on the other side of the bay, and the crooked wooden trestle bridge was built into the deep water. , Connected to the shore.
At this moment, there is no ship in this pier, and no trace of pirates can be seen. This made the knights who had weapons in their hands ready to fight suddenly relieved, but they were a little unwilling to walk all the way from Gusail and were chased. Like a bereaved dog, the enemy can't see it at all.
This is obviously very awkward for these masters in their respective fields with the dignity of masters-masters on the side of the truth are considered masters in all respects. For such a group of people to gather together as mercenaries, it is only about Ms. Adeni could only figure it out-they would rather have a good fight than they did.
Even if you lose.
It turned out to be good. In the end, even the pirates were not touched.
The pirates did not anchor the ship in the port, indicating that they did not settle here. This is nothing strange, after all, this is just a hiding place, not their lair. Just like the temporary anchorages often used by smugglers, they occasionally stay in those places when the storm comes, but they won't stay there permanently.
Everyone felt stunned, but in fact it was just a psychological effect. After all, if they could not do it, no one except the fanatical militants would want to do it.
Two ships entered the port one after the other, and the big ship of the ghost car tribe had been left outside, because even the cavern was too big to accommodate such a large armed merchant ship.
There is a thin layer of mist hanging in the cave, just like the inner gorge outside, but much better than outside the fjord. The fleet in the mist has almost spread over the entire Wagtail Strait at this moment. Brando’s life and I have never seen so many unnamed people in my previous life combined, let alone others.
After the ship was parked, everyone got off the ship, and then Targus ordered the skeleton soldiers on the ship to pierce the ship and let them sink here, so as not to be used by outsiders. The first batch of skeleton soldiers who landed in small boats had already found the passage at the other end of the cave, and these boats were of course not needed. Tagus and Brando do not expect to wait until the fog outside has dissipated before continuing to take a boat out to sea. Moreover, dozens of miles offshore is not necessarily safe. You must reach the true inland area to completely avoid the march of the unknown. .
This is also the reason why they didn't forcefully land from other places directly. After landing, they had to open a road along the wilderness, and maybe they would crash into the marching route of the unknown person at some point. Since this is a landing point for pirates, there must be a safe and easy land route behind it, otherwise this place is at best a safe haven, not a temporary nest.
As for whether the sinking of the ship will cause any trouble to the people behind, Brando has never considered this issue. Why should he consider such a thorough consideration for the pirates? As for Targus, he even disdains these considerations. Even if the undead may re-open the port in the future, they still have the means to salvage the sunken ship. As for the pirates, what should they do
Who cares about this
After everyone disembarked, the cave seemed a little narrow. After all, in addition to Brando, Delphine, and Huanghuo, there were two squadrons of skeleton soldiers and a group of low-level soldiers on the two Madara armed smuggling ships. Corpse witches, they are usually kept under the bottom compartment, acting as ballast stones with Madara characteristics, and they are only released when they are in battle or when they need to land.
In addition to the skeleton soldiers, there are also the sailors on the armed merchant ships of the ghost car. There are also more than a dozen men. Adding the two elders and their underlings, Fang Qi's men and servants, there are also two or three. As many as ten people.
Adeni and her knights are another group. For a while, there were more than a hundred more people in the pirate's hideout. This small place is obviously not too narrow if it wants to appear less cramped. possible.
Targus divided one and a half squadrons of skeleton soldiers (the other half of the squadron was lost in Gusail) into two groups. One group opened the way in front and continued to serve as cannon fodder, and three corpses were in charge of commanding them, while the others were more numerous. One group is behind the hall, not for precautions, but mainly to serve as a warning. If you encounter an unnamed person later, you can at least spot it in advance, and it's still cannon fodder in essence.
The sailors of the ghost car are naturally prisoners at this time, but the ordinary sailors are not in charge of them. The two elders of the ghost car have good strength, and they are guarded by the knights under Adeni— Of course, Brando was also paid for this. For Brando, a generous employer, the female knight couldn't be more satisfied.
Only the elders of the two ghost cars make Brando and Tagus feel a little bit tricky. If you are not careful, there will be problems.
Those two people have obviously suffered a lot of sins these days. They have been locked up in the bottom cabin with skeletons and corpses. They eat worse than pigs and dogs—it’s not that Targus deliberately treated them slowly, but was The only things the sailors on the sea can eat are like this. The undead can never prepare a cook specially for the two captives. That is the treatment that Brando and Delphine have.
