    There were a total of seven ships following the Lion Heart. They formed a dense formation and hung far behind the Lion Heart. The distance exceeded the lookout's field of vision and even exceeded the ballista catapult.  The ultimate range of long-range attack weapons, so at first, they did not arouse the vigilance of Ivan and others.  After the Lion Heart sailed out of the offshore area and sailed in the deep sea area for a period of time, it seemed that the ships passing by around it gradually became sparse, and it was time to start taking action. These seven ships finally began to slowly approach the Lion Heart.  They thought that their actions were extremely hidden under the cover of darkness, but they did not know that all these situations were seen by the blood-sucking larvae lurking underwater. Sika, who was responsible for controlling the blood-sucking larvae, quickly noticed their existence and carefully  After observing for a while, they finally confirmed that their target was the Lion Heart, and then quickly reported this information to Ivan.  Ivan had just patrolled the deck a few times, and was thinking of finding an excuse to return to the small world to meditate. When Sika did this, he almost exposed his behavior, and was very dissatisfied. However, after hearing the news he reported,  He suddenly became serious and immediately called Gross and other crew members over to discuss the matter together in the living room.  Sika was responsible for the reconnaissance and brought information about the enemy. Gross and his men were responsible for the specific operations of the Lionheart. Their presence in the living room was unquestionable, but Lance also appeared in this living room, which seemed a bit strange.  , but there were about a dozen people in the living room. Lance huddled quietly in the corner, not very conspicuous.  After everyone arrived, Ivan directly asked Sika to tell everyone the information he had obtained.  "That is to say. In the invisible darkness behind us, there is a fleet that is hostile to us, and. Are they ready to attack us now?" Gross asked first after hearing Sika's statement.  "Yes, I can confirm this. I have been observing them for a while, and I have ruled out the possibility that the channels are the same, and" Sika closed her eyes as she spoke, seeming to be in contact with the water in the distance.  of blood-sucking larvae.  A few seconds later, he opened his eyes: "They are closer to us, and now they have entered the maximum attack range of the ship's long-range weapons." "What?" One of the crew members exclaimed.  "Why are you panicking? You bunch of worthless guys have just entered the maximum attack range, not the effective attack range. They can't launch an attack now!" Gross's big copper-bell-like eyes swept around.  yelled in displeasure.  The crew members who exclaimed reacted.  He also felt embarrassed, and when Gross glanced at him, he immediately lowered his head.  "It's not our fault. After all, there are seven sea ships following us, seven against one. Although they may not really be enemies, it's better to be careful. However, I can't figure it out. If they are really enemies.  Who on earth would mobilize such a large force to deal with me" Aiwen asked in a deep voice: "Sika, can you confirm their race?" "I can't!" Sika shook his head.  Ivan is not surprised by this answer. Sika can currently only use the sight of blood-sucking larvae to collect intelligence, but how can he judge the race of the sailors on the ship if he has been hiding underwater.  "What a pity, if you don't know either, then we can only guess at the other party's identity!" Ai Wen said helplessly.  The other party's ships are now all hidden in the darkness. If even Sika doesn't know the other party's race, then the lookout on the ship definitely doesn't know either, unless they sail out of the darkness, but they really want to enter the lookout's field of vision.  , I am afraid that both sides have fired two or three rounds of shells, and the specific race they belong to has become irrelevant.  "What do you think, which force does this fleet belong to?" Ivan asked.  "Could it be the naval force from the capital city of Sulu?" Gross guessed: "After all, we have only had conflicts with them." "That fleet must have followed from the port of Miranda City, I think it is  "The naval force of Miranda City." A crew member disagreed: "Maybe they are just conducting routine patrols at sea!" "It may also be a human fleet. I can see it from time to time when I go to the market these days.  We have stayed in Midalon City for a total of half a month, so it is not surprising that we were targeted by them," another crew member said.  Many crew members spoke one after another to express their opinions, but in the end, the majority supported the enemy, the Sulu Capital Navy. After arriving on the north coast, this was the only force that Ivan really offended!  There are some crew members who support that the enemy is human, but there is no reason to take action.  Although humans and demons are feuding and usually fight to the death when they meet, that meansBut on the battlefield, the humans who appear on the north coast are all merchants. Businessmen are accustomed to putting profits first. They come all the way to the north coast. Naturally, it is for the huge profits from cross-ocean trade that they are asked to give up the huge benefits at their fingertips and gather together.  It's really unconvincing to stand up and fight to the death with a demon ship.  "Lord, I don't know which force those seven ships belong to. Maybe they don't belong to the same force at all, but I think that when they gather together, they must all have the same purpose!" Amid the debate, Lan  Si raised his hand and raised a refreshing possibility: "Could they want to seize the goods loaded on our ship?" "In the past half month, we have been constantly carrying the valuable goods we acquired to the ship. These  The information cannot be concealed at all. As long as you pay a little attention, you can find out. Maybe the merchants in Midalon City have evil intentions, and they may want to kill people and steal goods!" The noise in the living room suddenly disappeared, and everyone's eyes were turned on.  It was projected onto Lance's face. Lance was worried and couldn't help but shrink his body into the corner.  "What you said makes sense, money touches people's hearts!" Alvin also glanced at Lance with some surprise. Anyone who can think of such a thing is either experienced or has a dark mind. Lance doesn't look like he is experienced.  Veteran, that means you have a dark mind.  But thinking about his experience, Ivan felt relieved and nodded: "We have been purchasing goods for half a month. Not to mention that many people in Midalon City have enmity with us. Even if they don't have enmity, look at it this way  "Then, who is it?" Gross said in confusion.  Ai Wen couldn¡¯t answer for the moment. There were too many forces interested in the wealth on the Lion Heart. How could he judge this?  "Perhaps there are indeed forces from Sulu Capital City mixed in. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been hiding cautiously in the darkness. If I could use any door to pass through, I would be able to destroy the two ships first." Ai Wen  Sighed.  "Lord, what should we do now?" Gross heard Ivan talking about fighting, and he immediately said eagerly: "Do you want to stop and fight with them?" "Are you stupid? One against seven.  , Even if we win in the end, it won't be easy. At least the voyage will be postponed again!" Ivan glared at him: "I have been here long enough and I don't want to wait for a few more.  Yue, forget it, no matter who they are, we just ignore them and continue on the route back. " "Then do we want to speed up?" Gross asked, wiping his sweat.  Now the Lionheart is moving normally at the speed of an ordinary sea-going ship. Since the hull has gone through a series of camouflage, no one can see anything wrong with it and other sea-going ships.  If the oarsmen are told to start at full speed, the oars will push the Lionheart forward at full speed.  Then the veteran and experienced captains following behind will soon realize how extraordinary the Lion Heart is.  "Go ahead at full speed!" Ivan affirmed.  Maybe the secret of the Lionheart will be exposed because of this, but so what. If you want to get the secret of the Lionheart, then obediently cross the inner sea of ??the earth and go to the shipyard in Port Odelia to steal it. He promised  I won't order the coastal defense artillery to keep all these guys behind!  Gross nodded, immediately nodded to several crew members around him, and left the living room to arrange tasks. Ivan looked at Sika, who had been silent, and ordered: "They will definitely not give up easily, Sika."  , then it¡¯s up to you, release all your blood-sucking larvae, let them keep an eye on them, and tell me if there is any change in the ships behind.¡± Sika seemed hesitant, but finally nodded.  , agreed.  A group of people came to the deck, stood at the stern of the ship and looked towards the rear. No trace of the enemy could be seen on the dark sea, but everyone knew that the enemy was right behind.  After a while, the small items placed on the deck began to shake, which was a sign that the Lionheart was accelerating forward.  The Lionheart accelerated for about a minute and then stopped. Ivan looked at Sika. Sika closed her eyes, contacted the farthest blood-sucking larvae for a while, opened her eyes and said: "The distance between us  They have begun to pull away, and they are about to fall out of the maximum range of the ship's weapons." As soon as Sika finished speaking, there was a huge roar in the darkness behind, and dozens of black shadows flew across the sky, heading towards them.  As the Lion Heart smashed down, they formed a covering attack surface diagonally, covering the rear half of the Lion Heart's body. No matter how the Lion Heart dodges, at least one black shadow will hit the stern.  "Is this a crossbow?" Ivan saw the black shadow in the air clearly and said in surprise, then quickly raised his hand and extended his palm towards the air. After carefully aiming, a series of football-sized fireballs flew??, they collided with two huge falling crossbow arrows in mid-air, exploding into a large cloud of fire. The huge air waves impacted the falling crossbow arrows crookedly, and they all passed by the side of the ship and pierced into the ship.  Sea.  "Lord, you are so amazing. You resolved such a big crisis with just a few small fireballs!" Lance stood nearby, watching in his eyes, and he lost no time in flattering me.  "Huh, this is just a trivial matter!" Ivan's face turned slightly red, knowing that the fireballs he shot were able to achieve such great results because these crossbow arrows were extremely capable. When they arrived above the Lion Heart,  He had lost all his strength and could easily destroy them, but he still took all of Lance's flattery.  He waved his hand impatiently to keep Lance quiet. Ivan turned to look at Sika: "They actually made a useless attack on us. It seems that they have noticed that our ship is speeding up and are a little panicked. But their  The attack point is too accurate. This is not normal. Did your blood-sucking larvae find anything?" Sika frowned and shook his head: "My blood-sucking larvae have monitored the entire sea area behind and found nothing.  "Abnormal creatures." "Oh, there aren't any in the sea!" Ivan thought for a few seconds and suddenly looked up.  Except for the sparkling light on the dome.  It was pitch black above. Ivan looked at it for a while and heard the roar of the crossbows from behind again. But this time, because the Lionheart once again distanced itself from them, all the crossbow arrows fired from behind fell on the ground.  into the water behind the Lionheart.  Although it was only a few meters away from the stern of the ship, a miss was a miss.  "It's really accurate" Ivan looked at the water jets splashing at the stern of the boat and snorted coldly.  Lance rolled his eyes.  Feeling that the atmosphere seemed a little bad, he started to look towards the ship, ready to find an excuse to escape.  But after Aiwen snorted coldly, he made no other moves.  Still looking up.  Until an inconspicuous black spot slid across the top of his head.  "Found it!" Aiwen's eyes suddenly lit up, he raised his right hand, and a golden line of fire that had been preparing for a long time was shot towards the black spot.  Ray-type spells have the largest attack range among all spells, but even so, after the golden line of fire shot hundreds of meters upward, it began to become thinner, and a large amount of energy peeled off into sparks.  Lost from its body.  Fortunately, this golden line of fire itself is a third-level spell with powerful foundation.  After traveling upwards for three hundred meters, it still barely maintained its shape until it finally hit the little black dot and then collapsed into a ball of flames.  High in the sky, the small black dot let out a faint cry, then was wrapped in flames and fell backwards like a meteor.  "I'm actually still alive. Sure enough, the distance of more than 300 meters weakens the spell too seriously." Ivan stared at the slowly falling black dot and couldn't help but sigh.  "What is that, those domesticated beasts that are monitoring our ships?" Sika watched the whole process and couldn't help but ask.  "Yes, that should be a nighthawk domesticated by humans. The appearance of such a thing means that humans must be involved in the fleet behind." Ivan explained to Sika, but he did not explain the source of this knowledge.  "Humans are involved!" Sika didn't ask further. He was not surprised by the appearance of humans. Things like this that can not only attack mortal enemies but also rob a large amount of expensive goods, if humans really like to calculate gains and losses.  As for the businessman, it would be a strange thing if he didn't get involved.  "Although they failed to kill their nighthawk with one blow, the injured nighthawk will definitely not be able to recover in a short period of time. Without the nighthawk as the eye in the sky, they will give up soon!" Ivan said confidently!  .  "That's right." Sika agreed.  "Lord" Lance suddenly spoke in a low voice.  "What's wrong?" Ivan turned his head displeased.  ¡°I was looking up just now, and I seemed to see another black dot flying by¡± Lance pointed to the top with some flinch.  "" Aiwen looked up and remained silent.  "There were two nighthawks on it?" Sika asked uncertainly.  "No at least four. It seems that there are a lot of human merchant ships involved!" Ivan stared upward for a while and said with a sullen face. He stretched out his right hand and pointed to the sky, but then put it down again.  He shook his head and said: "Now that they have learned their lesson, they are far away from our ship, and there is no way to attack them easily." "Master Aiwen, if you can't hit them, forget it. Anyway, the Lionheart is moving at full speed.  The speed is faster than them, and if they can't catch up, they will naturally give up!" Sika comforted.  "Maybe!" Ivan nodded.    "Huh" Sika suddenly exclaimed.  "What's wrong?" Ivan asked quickly.  "My babies just sent back the news that the speed of the ships behind them has suddenly accelerated Now they can actually be on par with the Lion Heart?" Sika said with a strange expression.  "How is this possible!" Ivan didn't believe it. Although he was not fully involved in the design of the Lion Heart, he knew all the parameters. When it was moving at full speed, its speed was definitely ten percent faster than a normal sea ship.  Is it possible that those ships behind are also abnormal ships?  Sika shook his head and was about to answer when he suddenly felt an inexplicable fluctuation in the air. Before he could react, Alvin suddenly realized what was going on.  "I understand, it's magic!" Ivan gritted his teeth and said: "In order to catch up with us, these guys cast wind spells behind the sails, so they were able to catch up with the speed of the Lionheart." "Use wind spells  Speed ??up?" Sika felt a little unbelievable.  Ivan nodded and looked back with a gloomy look. He was all too familiar with the feeling of surging magic in the small world. It was the aftermath of a large spell being cast. If it weren't for the mage on the merchant ship behind,  It was they who used the magic crystal to activate the already buried magic circle.  In order to catch up with the Lionheart, they were actually willing to spend such a high price, which shows their firm determination.  "Tsk, although I really want to stop the boat and have a fight with them and teach them a lesson, but one against seven, it's not worthwhile no matter what!" Ivan finally shook his head and said: "If they want to chase, let them chase.  , I want to see if they will kneel on the deck in the end, holding a lot of consumed magic crystals and crying!" "Uh" Sika was speechless for a moment and could only nod.  : "Master Aiwen, I will always pay attention to this matter. Once their ship speed slows down, I will notify you immediately."  Thank you Tianxing08 for your monthly ticket, and thank xiaotang246 for the reward.  (To be continued)
