    After a day's sailing, the waters where the Lionheart was located were extremely far away from the north coast, and it was difficult to see other ships passing by.  Under the deck of the Lionheart, in a gorgeously decorated and comfortable room, from the corner of the wooden table, as the last bit of fine sand fell from the glass hourglass, the entire hourglass suddenly turned over, and the flow of fine sand began to flow again.  Ivan raised his head, stared at the small hourglass, put down the manuscript in his hand, stood up, opened the door, and came to the deck.  There was a small table in the center of the ship. Sika was sitting at the small table doing nothing. He seemed a little irritable, but when he saw Alvin appearing, he still managed to say hello with a smile.  "You look ugly. Will staying in contact with blood-sucking larvae for a long time consume a lot of mental energy?" Ivan walked to Sika, looked at him, and said casually.  "Master Aiwen, the consumption of mental energy is just a trivial matter, the key is being upset!" Sika said weakly.  "I'm upset, haha. Is it because of the fleet hanging behind us? What's wrong? It's been a day and they are still following us?" Ai Wenming asked knowingly.  "Yes, seven ships, one quite a few, all behind. Compared with a day ago, the distance between us is not much wider." Sika said with a wry smile, if it weren't for the enemies behind them who were chasing too closely.  , he had to monitor at all times. With his temperament, how could he stay on the deck all the time? He had already gone back to the bottom to do his research.  Ivan raised his head and looked toward the stern of the ship. A large amount of darkness obscured his sight.  But as long as he concentrates, he can still feel the fluctuating magic power, which shows that the ships behind him have indeed been using magic to increase the speed of the ships.  Even though there are mages on those seven ships.  It is also impossible for them to continue to provide magic power for the advancement of sea ships. They can only rely on the power of magic crystals to hold the Lion Heart tightly, and consume a lot of them. Conservative estimates are that at the end of a day, every ship  The ships have burned magic crystals worth more than ten thousand gold coins.  What a rich man!  Even if they catch up with the Lionheart in the end.  And after a battle, they successfully captured all the cargo on the Lionheart, giving each ship one point.  Including the expenditure on magic crystals, ship maintenance and pensions, the income and expenditure can only barely cover the expenses, and there may even be losses. I really don't know why they are so persistent.  "Perhaps this situation has already made their hearts bleed!" Ivan thought silently: "But if we continue to burn money, it is possible to catch up with us and finally get a certain amount of financial compensation. If we return, not only will we  Offending other allies, and the previous efforts have really been in vain, this is especially difficult for the fussy businessmen to accept. " Ivan looked up and looked above his head.  An extremely tiny black spot just crossed his line of sight slowly. It was the Nighthawk used by the human fleet behind to track the Lionheart.  Although they are just ordinary beasts, their vision is excellent. After being tamed, they can help the fleet behind them to perfectly grasp the whereabouts of the Lion Heart.  But from Aiwen's point of view, if possible, he would naturally want to kill them all. Unfortunately, after experiencing a sneak attack by fire magic, they have become more vigilant, and their current flying height is generally maintained at more than 600 meters.  In addition to the maximum attack range of the fire line spell, unless Ivan now deduces a more powerful fourth-level ray spell, there will be no chance at all.  However, more than 600 meters has reached the limit of Nighthawk's field of vision. If you are not careful, you will lose the position of Lionheart. If there is only one Nighthawk above your head, maybe Lionheart has escaped the enemy's tracking, but  The problem is that there is more than one nighthawk overhead. According to observations over the course of the day, there are six of them in total. Working together, they can barely keep track of the Lionheart.  It¡¯s hard to fight and hard to get rid of. It¡¯s really a group of annoying enemies.  Ivan looked up and stared for a while, but still couldn't find a chance to make a move. He sighed with regret, turned around and told Lance, who was standing next to him, to find Gross.  After a while, Gross came to this small table.  "Gross, how far are we from the entrance to the return channel?" Ivan asked directly without being polite.  "There are less than three hours of travel left." Gross replied quickly without thinking.  "It's only less than three hours This is not good!" Ivan said worriedly.  This chase cannot continue forever. Although the paddlers of the Lion Heart can take turns to rest and maintain the speed of the Lion Heart at the current level, the entrance to the return route does not require such a fast speed.  , to be precise, at the entrance, the Lionheart even needs to stop and wait for a period of time until a specific ocean current arrives before it can start its return voyage with the help of the ocean current.    The fleet following closely behind would obviously not allow the Lionheart to have the leisure to wait with peace of mind. Even if the Lionheart finally succeeded in getting rid of their entanglement and entered the channel, at least, the channel's  The entrance and exit have been discovered by those humans. If they send people to guard it from time to time in the future, I am afraid that Ivan will be in constant trouble.  "We can't let them discover the entrance to the channel. Let's wait another hour. If they haven't given up after an hour, then we can only choose to go to war. No matter how great the loss is, it is better than exposing the channel!" Ai Wen  Finally spoke.  "Lord, we should have been like this a long time ago!" Gross said excitedly.  "You bastard, if the losses in the battle are too great, will you pay for it!?" Ivan said angrily and funny.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­ When Aiwen finally made up his mind and prepared to fight against the fleet chasing after him, in the distance, at the exit of the channel, a sea ship suddenly rushed out of the channel, wrapped in a large ocean current.  out.  As the residual thrust of the ocean current gradually disappeared, the speed of the seagoing ship also began to slowly decrease, until finally it was only one-eighth of a normal seagoing ship, and then it stopped changing.  This is a shabby-looking ship. The hull is covered with large and small scars and is corroded by sea water.  There were cuts and scratches from sea beasts, and even magical freezing fire, and the bow of the ship was completely broken off by the collision.  The sails were also densely covered with holes, large and small, as if they had been pierced by countless ice picks.  There are so many scars on its body that if it disintegrates in the next moment, it will not cause the slightest surprise. It is already a miracle that it can barely maintain its shape now.  Dozens of women are standing on the scarred deck of this sea-going ship.  These women are well-dressed, beautiful in appearance, and have an extraordinary aura.  It is simply unbelievable that so many outstanding beauties gathered on such a dilapidated shipShould I call it cute?  There is no doubt that they are Vivian¡¯s subordinates, members of Queen Lilith¡¯s guard.  in this world.  High strength.  There are many beautiful women, but it is difficult for them to gather together like these women now.  Because their starting point was too far away, they were originally about twenty days behind Aiwen's voyage. However, because Aiwen had spent more than half a month in Sulu Capital City and Midalon City, they hurriedly caught up.  Now, I finally managed to break away from the northward channel and reach the outer waters of the north coast before Ivan left.  That¡¯s right.  Due to the guidance of that chart, they and Ivan both used the same channel.  However, although the entry and exit points of the channel are the same, because the arrival and departure use different ocean currents, if they miss each other outside the channel, there is almost no chance that the two ships will meet head-on inside the channel.  The ship was moving forward slowly, and the many succubi on the deck didn't express anything about it. They just gathered in small groups and whispered about something.  After a while, a male demon came out from under the deck covered in stench.  "It stinks, stop, don't come close!" The numerous female succubi on the deck immediately moved away, shouting angrily.  "What a group of delicate flowers in the greenhouse!" Siloline, who was wearing a black robe, looked at her nominal subordinates with contempt, quickly cast an air purification spell beside herself, and then looked seriously.  Asked: "Have you checked, how is the damage to the bottom cabin?" "The situation is very bad!" The male demon stood obediently and replied: "Due to the strong tension along the way,  Due to the squeeze, cracks appeared in many places in the bottom tank, and even the keel had cracks. If it continued to move forward at a normal speed, I am afraid it would not be able to withstand the pressure and rupture, causing water to enter the hull. " "  Is it already damaged to this extent?" Slolin frowned: "Then you mean that if you sail slowly at the current speed, there will be no problem?" The male demon seemed to be recognized and nodded quickly:  "The most we can do is move forward at the current speed!" "You loser, you've been doing it for a long time, and you actually told me that if you only move forward at this speed, how long will I have to wait to actually reach the north coast!" Slolin immediately roared.  .  ¡°Yes, yes, Sir Siloline, it¡¯s me who is incompetent!¡± The male demon did not dare to refute a word, but just lowered his head and said.  "There are only a few places that are seriously damaged, right? If the object solidification technique is used on these places, will the ship be able to sail at a normal speed?" Slolin snorted coldly and was silent for a while.  , finally asked.  "Object solidification technique? If it is really an object?"As for the solidification technique it should be possible!  "The male demon murmured: "However, the damage to other parts of the ship's hull is not light. If it moves forward at full speed, their condition will quickly deteriorate!  " "Can you support us in rushing to the nearest port?  "Slolin asked. "It may be possible to reach the north coast, but in that case, the ship will completely lose its maintenance value.  "The male demon made a silent calculation and finally replied. "That's no problem. We'll just change the search ship then!  "Slolin waved her hands indifferently, then turned around and said to the succubi behind her with a smile: "Sisters, do you hear that? I have found a solution to the problem. Now it's up to you.  , all those who know how to solidify objects, come forward and go to the bottom cabin to help!  " "Don't go, the bottom cabin smells so bad!  " "If you dare to force me to go to that kind of place, I will die for you!  " "If you are willing to hand over Lady Vivian's underwear, I will agree to help!  " Many succubi shouted one after another. Many of them not only did not stand up, but took a few steps back. Siloline narrowed her eyes and said coldly: "You want to take advantage of the situation?  " "This is called reasonable exchange!  "A succubus chuckled. "Very good, it seems that the tiger is not showing off its power.  You really think I'm a sick cat!  "Slolin sneered and took out a large thick notebook from her waist, shook it at the group of succubi in front of her, and saw two big words written on the front of the notebook: handle! "You should know, my  Talent is hidden in the shadows. In order to convince you little bitches when Lady Vivian is not around, I have prepared a lot of information.  Judging from your expressions, do you believe it or not? It doesn¡¯t matter.  Then I'll just read a few.  "Slolin smiled sinisterly, opened the note casually, and read: "There are three big stinkers in our team, namely.  Qi" "Ahhhh.  Don¡¯t mention it!  Don't listen!  !  !  "At that moment, a succubus became anxious and covered his face and shouted. "Hmph, you're afraid. Also, someone in our team has bad breath. This person's name is Ge" "Wow, wow, surrender, surrender!  Shut up!  " "Okay, I won't say it anymore.  But if you give me a word, you must go down.  Still not going down!  "Slolin slammed the handle note shut, tucked it under her arm, then straightened her A-cup breasts, and said with a lively voice. "You're cruel!  " "Wow, I really want to die going to a place like that~" "What are you looking at? Go away!  " "It's too insidious" "I'll be flat-chested for the rest of my life!  "    "who!  ?  Who said that just now? Such a cruel curse is simply inhumane!  !  !  "Slorin roared angrily. "Lord, an hour has passed.  "Lance reminded in a low voice. "I know.  "Ai Wen looked at the stern of the ship and said with a heavy expression. " Waves of magic power fluctuations continued to come from the rear. Without Sika opening his mouth, I Wen could feel that the ships behind him had not given up tracking. It seemed that there was a strong relationship between each other.  , There is still a fight after all. ¡°Gross, get ready to fight!  "Aiwen looked at it steadily for a while, and finally said. "Okay, Lord Lord!  "Gross and several of his men were prepared early. When Ivan finally gave the order, they began to issue orders one after another. A large number of crew members gathered on the ship and began to load ammunition for long-range weapons. After Ivan gave the order  , jumped up and stood on the lookout, which has a wide view and is a good place to release spells. After getting ready, the first order Gross gave was not to fire or slow down, but to change the direction of the ship's bow.  Facing the pursuing enemy, use the part of the hull that carries the most long-range weapons, and try to use the maximum firepower to hit the enemy. "Gross, in five seconds, they will enter the effective range of long-range weapons!"  "Sika said solemnly. The feedback information of the blood-sucking larvae is much faster than that of the nighthawk. I am afraid that the fleet chasing behind has not realized that the Lion Heart has no longer escaped, but has adopted a fighting attitude.  This is also the reason why both sides are moving at extreme speed. If the speed can be slowed down to a normal level, maybe there will be time for each other to react. ¡°I understand.  Gross nodded. After silently counting five numbers, the Lionheart turned sideways, and a series of bowstring explosions sounded from the hull facing the rear, and a large number of stone bullets, hammer balls and crossbow arrows flew towards the rear.  As far as the fleet at the rear was concerned, the attack by the Lionheart came suddenly and covered an incredibly large area. Two ships were immediately attacked.??Being hit.  The stone bullets and crossbows were just fine, and the damage to the ship and crew was not too great. However, when the hammer hit the sail, it immediately tore off a large piece of the sail. These sea ships rely on wind spells.  He cast spells on the sails and gained faster speed. Now that most of the sails were destroyed, the speed of the two ships immediately slowed down.  After the shock, the remaining five ships immediately realized that the Lionheart had finally decided to stop and fight with them. They immediately became excited like chicken blood. They ignored their two unlucky companions and did not slow down.  Move quickly forward.  There are quick hands and slow hands. Although it was agreed at the beginning that the spoils should be equally distributed, if you end the battle first and secretly take part of the spoils, those two guys can't do anything to them!     fail?  How could it fail?  How could five against one still fail!  After several rounds of shooting, the ships of both sides finally broke through the darkness and appeared in each other's field of vision for the first time. The Lionheart had a small target, and Ivan intercepted the enemy's attack from above. The result was unscathed, but the ones who came over  There are only four human ships. There is no doubt that another ship was hit by a chain bomb halfway. As a result, its speed dropped and it lost touch with the large force.  "That's it, turn the bow of the ship to the west and move forward in a straight line!" Gross quickly ordered: "Don't stop the crossbow gunners, load the chain bombs and attack the sails!" This is the tactic used by Gross. First, the sea behind the  The ship's sails were broken, reducing their speed one by one, trying to take advantage of the difference in speed to distance them from each other, forming a one-on-one scene locally, and finally taking advantage of the disadvantage in the number of weapons on board to attack them.  Attack and try to sink them all.  If the enemy ships are not fooled, and after the speed is reduced, they do not choose to rush alone, but choose to gather together, then it is fine. Since the Lionheart cannot find a chance, it can just leave. Anyway, there is no magic to increase it.  If so, this fleet would simply not be able to catch up with the speed of the Lionheart.  According to this tactic, the Lionheart, under the command of Gross, continued to move southwest in a zigzag pattern. At the same time, it occasionally took advantage of the hull to attack enemy ships. After a while, the Lionheart pursued behind the Lionheart.  There were only three ships left, and the remaining ones were not fast enough and had already disappeared into the darkness. They could only fire crossbows desperately from behind, interfering with the progress of the Lion Heart.  "Hey, something's wrong, why are there magic fluctuations in front of us? Could it be that an enemy has sneaked in front of us!" During the fierce battle, Aiwen suddenly turned around and looked to the southwest in surprise.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Thank you xiaotang246 for the reward.  (To be continued)
