Chapter 48 Naval Battle and Return to the Island

At dawn, Henry knew through the prophecy spell that three large pirate ships were following behind his fleet. They were well-equipped and had defensive crossbows on board. It seemed that the pirates did not plan to attack for the time being. He asked the crew to rest first and let the people on the watchtower use colorful flags to inform their ships that they were also going to sleep. This is a long chase that could last days or even a week. Since the opponent's ship also has a mage, he doesn't plan to kill him for the time being. This is a hunt, but he doesn't know who is the prey and who is the hunter. Two days passed in this weird atmosphere. On the third day, the ships behind began to speed up suddenly. After a whole morning of fast pursuit, the pirates' ships could now be seen with the naked eye. Henry stood at the stern and observed carefully, and found that their ship was at least twice as big as his own Sword. This is almost the limit of wooden sailboats in the entire continent. According to his estimation, the average load of these three ships is definitely more than 2,000 tons.

Captain Hawk stared nervously at the huge ship behind him and began to sweat on his forehead. He said to Henry: "Is there anything the boss can do? At this speed, we will be overtaken in another two hours. They have at least fifteen hundred People, we have no advantage in jumping to fight with our numbers." Henry looked at it and said: "Don't worry about my captain, I will personally lead the team to kill them before they catch up. Wait for a while, the moment when they are about to catch up is the best time to launch a surprise attack." The leader of the barbarians walked over with fourteen of his fellows. "My lord, please be sure to bring us with you when we attack later. The blood of the warrior in my body has already started to boil, as long as I give an order, I will rush up and tear up these scraps." Vaughn, the half-orc who saw the barbarian who was eager to try, also mentioned Followed with an axe. "Hey! Boss, please take me with you. I haven't fought happily for a long time."

Hawke looked at this group of eager guys in surprise and suddenly felt that he was not nervous at all. He smiled and took out his pipe, put some tobacco on it, lit it and took a puff. "Then I wish you a triumphant return. Remember not to damage their ship too much. I'm still ready to accept it." Henry looked at the captain with some surprise, but he didn't expect him to take the lead in making a joke. Asenbu touched his bald head with a smile and said to the captain: "Don't worry, these weak guys don't deserve to have such a good ship. I will let them see the bravery of the Kalut tribe warriors, you just watch here .” Henry took out some invisibility potions from the dimension bag. "If you want to go on a raid with me for a while and drink this, its effect can make you temporarily invisible. It will lose its effect after one round of attack. I know your attitude towards magic, but I I think you don't mind potions, do you?" The barbarians smiled and said that they did not reject potions, and then sixteen bottles of potions were distributed to everyone.

All the people who attacked against the sea wind were ready, and only waited for an order to drink the potion and jump into the sea. Henry quietly watched the slowly approaching giant ship, thinking about how to deal with the mage on board. An hour later, he said: "It's time! Everyone drank the invisibility potion and started to go into the sea. Amy, after you bless the invisibility, go to the rear of the enemy ship and tie up the rope. The others will follow the rope after I launch the first round of attack." Climb up, the person who climbs up first hides himself and waits for everyone to arrive before attacking." After speaking, he began to bless himself with spells, iron skin, long-range weapon protection, obscurity, secondary spell ineffective enchantment, secondary Spell reversal, protection from flames, and finally a flying spell was added. Just when he blessed the spell, sixteen soldiers had already drank the invisibility potion and jumped into the sea to swim to the enemy ship. Amy also blessed himself with an invisibility spell and activated a flying spell scroll to start her mission.

Henry saw that everyone started to move and flew directly to the flagship behind. When he was about a hundred meters away from the enemy ship, a giant crossbow arrow shot over and directly hit the energy force field, and the protective long-range weapon offset the attack. This made him break out in a cold sweat. If there is another shot, it is estimated that the protective long-range weapon will not be able to stop it. He had already seen the sailors on the opposite ship start to pull the winch again to prepare for the second arrow, and hurriedly began to descend and fly close to the sea surface to avoid the shooting angle of the defensive crossbow. Amy secretly tied the rope at the stern of the boat while someone was attracting attention and threw the other end into the sea. After receiving the rope, the underwater fighters began to climb up one after another. By this time Henry had dodged the second arrow and was above the ship, where he was standing on the mast unleashing an ice storm. A large area of ​​magical hailstones hit the entire deck. Most of the sailors were directly crushed by the ice, and many were knocked unconscious. After breaking up the crew, he began to look for the mage. Only by finding the mage first can the battle be resolved quickly.

Seeing the flagship being attacked, the two ships next to it quickly leaned over and threw out the hook and pulled hard. Soon the three ships were joined together, and a large number of pirates on both sides jumped onto the ship along the cables. The soldiers at the stern had already assembled, and they took out their weapons and came to the enemy's back without a word. With a roar from the barbarians the raid began. The half-orcs with two tomahawks made a big cut in the middle of the crowd, and everyone who was cut was basically cut into two pieces. He shouted excitedly: "Come on haha! Let me enjoy this happy battle." Asenbu knocked a pirate into the air with his warhammer. "Dude! Do you want to play a game with me! Just bet on our celebration wine tonight." Vaughn grinned and showed two fangs. "Then you're doomed, you know I have two axes and you only have one warhammer." As he spoke, he cut off the heads of two more pirates with the axe.

Asembu took one look and cursed. "Damn! You are foul. I hate deceitful half-orcs." The half-orc laughed and replied, "Your wine today is mine, thank you again for your generosity." Chaos hid behind the mast and kept intimidating the gathered pirates, which directly caused the pirates who were caught off guard by the sneak attack to become even more confused. Like a group of headless chickens, they were slashed and killed by the ferocious orcs and barbarians behind them. After Henry stood high and cast another ice storm, the morale of the pirates collapsed. They tried desperately to get back to their boats, but most were pushed overboard. The barbarians also took advantage of the situation and divided into two teams to catch up. At this time, a third-level spell "flame arrow" shot at Henry, and was bounced back by the secondary spell reversal the moment it approached his body. There was only a scream in the cabin, and Henry found a mage attacking him and chased after him. Walking into the cabin, I saw a mage holding a crystal ball fell to the ground, his chest was scorched and he was rolling on the ground in pain. It seems that he was seriously injured by his own spell. Henry stepped up and broke one of his arms and asked: "Who are you? Did Kurzer send you here?" The mage endured the pain and replied: "Don't kill me! I just accepted the employment temporarily. I am a member of the Arcane Brotherhood, and I am willing to exchange all my property for my life."

Then Henry interrogated the mage in detail, and found the sign belonging to the Arcane Brotherhood on him. Obviously, this mage who belonged to the Brotherhood didn't have any integrity and recruited them all before the sentence was executed. He was temporarily hired by Kurzer to sabotage Baram's business. As for the Arcane Brotherhood, they don't care what these leaders want to do, so they don't mind internal members participating in such actions. Knowing the specific situation, Henry confiscated all the property of the mage and finally chopped off his head. He wasn't foolish enough to believe the promise of a member of the Arcane Brotherhood. Perhaps the first thing these mages of the evil camp would do when they go back was to find their accomplices and come back for revenge. Even if you can't take revenge for the time being, you should write down your name and find a way to take revenge on your relatives and friends. After a naval battle, the number of the fleet increased again, and now Admiral Hawke has eight ships. In the evening, a celebration was held on the Sword. Those who participated in the raid were rewarded with a lot of gold coins and unlimited drinks. Asenbu was eating barbecue with a sad face. His wine had lost to Vaughn. Henry sat quietly in the cabin and thought that Kurzer was bleeding heavily this time, and Baram would definitely not make him feel better. But killing members of the Arcane Brotherhood is a big trouble, and the mages of these evil camps will definitely retaliate.

The ten-day voyage passed quickly, and Henry and his party returned to the Angome Islands after bypassing the storm area. After putting down the boat, Henry and Amy paddled ashore at the pier, where Robert and others had already greeted them. They had already seen the huge fleet sail into the harbor and stop. The dwarf gave Henry a hug. "Welcome back, how are things going well?" Henry said with a smile: "It's not going well, it can be said that the situation is terrible. Have you seen those ships? There are four smaller ones that we met on the way there Pirates. Look at the three big ships at the back, they were sent by a Luskan commander on our way back to hunt us down." Cagan laughed out loud after hearing this. "But in the end, they sent you a fleet. I really don't know whether I should be happy or sad for you." Robert also walked over and saluted Henry. "Master, welcome back, I will return this place to you completely. When you were away, Cagan found a huge iron ore vein in the forest, and found a small house near it, in which lived a mentally abnormal Elf mage." Henry patted him on the shoulder. "You guys did a good job. I will take care of that mage myself. This time we brought back more than 10,000 slaves, and the initial construction of the territory will start soon. You will tell the captain to send the slaves ashore later." After hearing the order, Robert turned around and told Hawke to let the slave go ashore.
