    Although Raymond and others haven't decided yet, things are already obvious.  Although the captains of the frigates have combat experience, no one dares to take on this responsibility. The important thing is that they have lost their courage, which is definitely the most fatal weakness in battle.  Although Drea has no experience, he has learned command skills. The most important thing is that he dares to stand up at this time, which proves his self-confidence and his courage to face the enemy. This is sometimes more important than whether he has experience.  more important.  Especially when there is no choice Raymond and others looked at each other, and after confirming that neither Sol nor Reed had any objections, Raymond decided: "Okay, Drea, I'll leave it to you this time.  "Don't worry, Lord Raymond." Drea bent down and said, "I won't let you down." "Young master, look, we are here." At this time, Bastet's voice surprised Lei.  Meng woke up from his reverie.  He looked up and saw the outline of Antiva Island gradually appearing on the sea level.  Not long after, the fleet approached the island.  Just like the last time Raymond came, the outskirts of Antiva Island are still so dangerous. In the ring of rocks, the waves are surging, and the ships in distress are mixed in, like tombstones erected one after another.  The Antiva Island in the center is still ugly. The houses built along the mountain are densely packed, like scabies growing on the skin of the island, full of the vicious and evil atmosphere of pirates.  Catalina's "Blue Rose" was already waiting outside the island. After seeing Headington's fleet arriving, she immediately sailed over.  Soon, the two sides met, and the "Blue Rose" approached the "Brilliant Mary". The sailors on the ship threw their grappling hooks and set up on the ship's plank. Catalina boarded the ship of Raymond and his party.  The two sides met, and after exchanging greetings, Catalina said straight to the point: "Very good, you came on time, but the enemy is coming soon, and we must step up our actions." "How is the situation over there with the Necromancer?"  Raymond asked.  Catalina said: "The plan went smoothly, they should not be suspicious. The opponent's fleet all left the port and came here, but there was no trace of the sea dragon. I don't know if it followed it." Raymond said  : "Don't worry, that thing will definitely come." Saul also said: "Cliff is very cautious, he will definitely not let the fleet and the sea dragon be separated." Raymond asked again: "How is the layout of Antiva Island?  ?¡± Catalina nodded: ¡°It¡¯s all set up, just waiting for you to join us.¡± As she said that, she looked at the tall Gru: ¡°Is this the person you are talking about?¡± Raymond said with a bitter smile:  "If he and Kress can't work together, then no one can defeat Hailong." Catalina has never met Gru and doesn't know how powerful he is.  But the key to the success of this battle is whether she can subdue Hai Long, so she can't help but care.  She hummed when she heard the words: "If you say so, it seems that I have to give it a try." As she said, she frowned: "But what's going on with this guy, why hasn't he said anything?" From her login  From the beginning to the end of the boat, Gru stood on the bow with his back to everyone, saying nothing, as silent as a clay sculpture.  They would fight together anyway, and his attitude couldn't help but arouse Katarina's dissatisfaction.  Knowing that this girl had a hot temper and fearing that she would anger Gru, Thor quickly said: "That guy has this temper, don't worry about him." Only then did Catalina realize that everyone was keeping a distance from Gru.  , she couldn't help but wonder: "Why do you all seem to be afraid of him?" "Thisit's hard to explain in words." Raymond said awkwardly, and then he said to Catalina: "Anyway, let's start taking action." Catalina  Naturally, she would not really get entangled. She nodded after hearing the words, and then gave orders to the sailors on the "Blue Rose".  The sailor sent a signal, and soon another large ship came over.  Catalina said: "That is Gregor's flagship. He is responsible for the ambush outside. Your fleet will follow him and he will make arrangements." Raymond then gave instructions to Drea, and then everyone boarded  Catalina's flagship.  Under the command of Drea, Headington's fleet followed Gregor to leave, preparing to ambush the Necromancer's fleet, while the "Blue Rose" carried everyone to Antiva Island.  The battle is about to begin.  ***************************************************  **************** "Whoawhoa" The warship with its sails fully inflated moved forward at high speed in the sea. The bow of the ship split the waves, and waves of water splashed to both sides, making a roar.  There was a loud crash.  Deneke still followed his habit,Standing on the undulating bow of the ship, the sailors were busy on the back deck, and no one dared to disturb them.  Hearing the sound of rough waves, Deneke's thoughts were swirling in his heart.  In order to eliminate those troublesome pirates, the fleet is rushing to Antiva Island, preparing to destroy the opponent's lair in one fell swoop.  "This time we have strong strength and have the help of sea dragons. The remaining pirates cannot be opponents at all. Logically speaking, there should be nothing to worry about.  ¡° However, Emil¡¯s warning before departure always made Denecke uneasy.  The Sidonian sect, Headington and the pirates may have joined forces!  Although judging from all current signs, even if these three parties join forces, they will not be our opponents, especially at sea.  However, if this is true, then the opponent must have some plot in this battle on Antiva Island. This uncertainty can't help but make Denek feel a little uneasy.  Especially when he knew that Lovell's gang was in Headington, and his old rival Sol could always make surprises. Coupled with the difficult Raymond, the combined effect of these two people was definitely enough.  Give anyone a big headache.  "If they investigated the origin of the sea dragon, or even went to find the female dragon" Suddenly, an idea that had never occurred before arose in Deneke's heart, making his heart skip a beat.  But Denecke immediately dismissed the idea, saying it was impossible.  When he first stole the dragon egg, the Necromancer had calculated that Neisseras was about to give birth again, and she would definitely not leave the dragon's lair rashly for the sake of her cubs in the short term.  And those people in Headington are even less likely to have contact with her.  This thought calmed Denecke somewhat.  He turned around and saw that behind the flagship, a huge fleet was riding the wind and waves, followed closely behind, and the dense white sails were like a thick fog spreading over the sea. Its power was enough to frighten any enemy.  At the same time, he also knew that on the invisible bottom of the sea, sea dragons were also cruising closely around the fleet.  As long as these two are present, no one on the sea can be our opponent!  Yes, no matter what the opponent's intentions are, all you need to do is crush them to pieces with absolute superiority.  In the end, Denecke agreed with DePerreault.  However, Emil's high qualifications still made him quite happy.  **His corruption and joining the Necromancer Guild is one of Denec's greatest prides.  In the foreseeable future, Necromancer will surely flourish again because of talents like Emil and Edward, Deneke believes so.  Therefore, based on the idea of ????valuing talents, Denek placed Emil, who had not yet understood the Necromancer, behind him, and used his organizational skills to take charge of another matter.  Yes, another important thing for the Necromancer Guild.  No, it should be said that that was Deneke's real and final backhand.  If that thing can be completed, even if this war fails, it won't matter "President, we will be there soon." At this moment, Kenwell walked behind Denek and said cautiously.  He is the real commander of this fleet and one of the few necromancers Denek placed in the fleet.  Deneke woke up from his meditation. He raised his head and saw the outline of Antiva Island faintly appearing in front of him.  "What are the enemy's movements?" Denecke asked as he walked back to the deck.  Kenwell said: "The sailors on the lookout haven't noticed it yet." "Don't worry so much, order the fleet to move forward at full speed, and start attacking immediately after arriving. I want Antiva Island to disappear from the sea map." Denek ordered.  road.  The enemy's situation is temporarily unknown, and this order is very reckless, but Kenwell knows that his own power is huge, and Deneke has the confidence to do so.  He nodded and said: "I understand, just keep an eye on it." Then, he walked back to the command position, and with a series of orders, the entire fleet rushed towards Antiva Island at full speed.  ***************************************************  **************** "The enemy is here!" Catalina said solemnly when she saw the signal from the pirate ship scouting outside the island.  Everyone became nervous. At this moment, Raymond and others gathered on Antiva Island, waiting for the attack of the Necromancer fleet.  The pirates and Headington's fleet have been ambushing around the island. As soon as Gru and Kress subdued the sea dragon, they came out to attack the enemy.  Due to the special terrain of Antiva Island, especially the complex conditions of the surrounding sea areas, under the leadership of pirates who are familiar with the terrain, the ambush force was not likely to be discovered by the opponent.  In other words, the biggest key to this battle is, can our side successfully defeat Hai Long?As the enemy forces gradually approached, even Thor and Raymond, who were previously full of confidence, could not help but start beating drums in their hearts, let alone Catalina and others.  In contrast, Gru and Kress both looked calm, and seemed not to be worried about the upcoming battle.  "Can we win?" Katerina muttered unconsciously under tension.  "Of course!" Raymond replied resolutely.  Then he turned his attention to the outside of Antiva Island.  As soon as the pirate ship responsible for luring the enemy came into contact with the Necromancer's fleet, they fled in a hurry, followed the secret passage in the reef zone, and hid in Antiva Island.  On the flagship, Kenwell watched the pirate ship disappear among the rocks. He turned to Deneke and said, "President, the enemy has escaped." "Follow me!" Deneke said without hesitation.  "However, there are many hidden reefs outside Antiva Island. If you don't know the access, it will be very dangerous." Kenville hesitated: "I think it is better to send a few ships to explore the way first." "No need.  ." Deneke sneered: "Aren't they just rocks? If this is their last barrier, let them know what despair is." Before he finished speaking, there was a huge sound of water.  The sea dragon has emerged from the sea next to the flagship, raising its huge body high and standing proudly.  Although they knew that the sea dragon was their own weapon, the sailors on the ship still couldn't help showing fear in the face of its huge and ugly body.  Deneke pointed his hand forward: "Go, open a way for me." After receiving the order, the sea dragon rushed forward violently, and as its huge tail swung, it set off fierce waves in the sea, rapidly  Swim towards the reef off Antiva Island.  Arriving outside the reef area, Hailong was like a giant python that broke into a china shop, ramming straight towards the reef group.  In an instant, the sea rolled into the sky, water splashed into the air, and with a violent rumbling sound, the sea dragon smashed the underwater reef to pieces with its body.  Then, its huge tail rose from the sea, whipping left and right like a long whip. Under its unrivaled force, the nearby rocks were as fragile as empty shells.  As the sea water splashed, the broken rocks flew around, smashing into the sea from far and near, causing more waves.  After clearing the nearby rocks, the sea dragon continued to swim towards the island, using its body and tail to clean the surrounding rocks as it moved forward.  It was like an extremely powerful boring machine. The natural reef area outside Antiva Island that had given countless ships a headache was just cleared away.  As the sea dragon advances, the rocks thrown away fall in all directions, and the waves splash nearby. Behind it, there is a safe zone enough for all ships to sail.  The turbid water was filled with sand and mud, which looked shocking, but it no longer posed any danger.  After the sea dragon opened a channel in the reef zone, it quickly approached Antiva Island.  At this time, the pirate ship that had lured the enemy before had not even had time to enter the harbor, which shows how fast Hai Long was.  From the moment the sea dragon started destroying the rocks, the pirates were frightened by the earth-shattering posture behind them. The captain kept ordering the sailors to speed up to get rid of the monsters that were approaching from behind.  However, although the reef belt can effectively prevent outsiders from entering, it also limits its own speed. To avoid the underwater reefs, the pirate ship can only sail in the winding passages. Naturally, it is impossible to go faster than the sea dragon chasing after it with violence.  .  Just when they were about to enter the safe sea between the reefs and Antiva Island, the sea dragon finally caught up.  Raising its huge body high, the sea dragon's strong and powerful tail stirred in the water. While clearing the last nearby reef, it used its strength to speed up and pounce forward.  The huge dragon head bit the side of the last pirate ship.  After a moment of stalemate, Hai Long's body tensed up and he used his huge muscle power to throw his neck!  An unbelievable thing happened. The huge pirate ship was thrown directly by the sea dragon. With a loud bang, the pirate ship crashed sideways into the sea, causing huge waves.  All the pirates on the ship were thrown out, and many fell into the sea in a daze and never came up again.  The remaining people were rowing their limbs desperately to keep themselves afloat on the sea. Some lucky ones who were still on the boat had to grab everything around them to prevent themselves from falling into the sea.  But before the survivors could breathe a sigh of relief for their lives, a huge black shadow fell from the sky.  With a loud cracking sound that shook the eardrums, the sea dragon's tail slapped the ship hard, and the pirate ship immediately broke apart, and a large amount of seawater poured in from the gap.? The huge waves caused by this blow swallowed up the survivors. When the waves subsided, no one could be seen on the sea, only two fragments of the ship were slowly sinking into the sea.  After destroying the pirate ship, Hai Long dived into the water and continued to swim towards the remaining ships.  Seeing that the port of Antiva Island is just ahead, these ships will never be able to enter the port.  In just a moment, the violent sea dragon easily destroyed these ships.  But seeing the sea in a mess, with countless corpses and wooden masts and other debris floating on the water, the remaining pirates gave out desperate cries. The wreckage of the pirate ship destroyed by the sea dragon sank and floated with the waves.  And in this miserable scene, the terrifying sea dragon stands proudly on the sea.  It raised its ugly head and let out a hoarse and ugly roar toward Antiva Island. It seemed like a catharsis after killing to its heart's content, and also like a warning to the enemies on the island.  The pirates on the island were all stunned by this scene. The defenders, who had been preparing to defend themselves sternly from the enemy, were in panic and fell into chaos.  Fearing that sea dragons would attack the port, all the pirates defending on the shore gave up their positions, dropped their weapons and fled to the interior of the island.  However, the sea dragon did not continue to attack. Instead, it slowly sank into the water and disappeared after a while, leaving only countless wreckage and corpses on the sea surface, which horrified the people on the shore.  ***************************************************  **************** ¡°President, the passage has been opened.¡± Kenwell said to Denek: ¡°But it¡¯s strange, except for those pirate ships, there seems to be no other pirate ships.  "What do you think?" Denecke asked.  Kenwell said: "The enemy fleet must be nearby, waiting for an opportunity. The terrain of Antiva Island is complex and there are many secret harbors for hiding. It will be difficult to detect them in a short time." As he said, he suggested: "  Therefore, my subordinates believe that it is the safest way to directly let Hailong create a tsunami and flood the entire island. "Deneck shook his head and said: "Creating a tsunami requires a lot of magic power, and it will take a long time for Hailong to recover after using it once.  Tiwa Island is too big, especially because the central terrain is very high, so it is difficult to achieve the desired effect. " "Besides" At this point, a cruel look appeared in his eyes: "This is too cheap for them." "Then President.  What do you mean" Kenwell asked tentatively.  "Go in and capture the island directly." Denek said proudly: "I will personally turn all those pirates into zombies, so that I can warn everyone who dares to go against us." "Of course, if Headington and Lovell  It would be even more ideal if those guys are on the island as well." Even though Kenwell is also a necromancer, he can't help but feel chilled.  He hurriedly advised: "President, we still don't know where the enemy's fleet is. Is it too hasty to do this?" Deneke snorted: "With our current strength, do we still have to be timid about these defeated soldiers?"  Or do you think those hidden enemy ships can threaten us? "To be honest, after watching the scene just now, no one would believe that there is anything that could threaten Hai Long.  As long as it has it, the Necromancer's fleet is invincible.  Kenwell thought the same. Although with a commander's intuition, he thought it was very inappropriate to step into the enemy's territory so boldly, the fact was before his eyes. No matter what tricks the enemy played, it was all in vain in front of Hai Long.  With this thought, Kenwell chose to accept the order, but he still took minimum safety measures: "However, Mr. President, let's leave some ships here to take care of it." Denecke nodded: "  Okay, it¡¯s up to you to arrange it.¡± Kenwell immediately gave the order, and soon, more than 10 warships stayed in place as a follow-up, and the remaining fleet followed the channel opened by the sea dragon and attacked Antiva Island aggressively.  passed.  It didn¡¯t take long for the fleet to successfully pass through the reef zone and arrive at the safe waters outside Antiva Island.  The huge fleet lined up in the sea, with all weapons pointed at the island, immediately bringing a heavy atmosphere of danger and war.  On the other hand, Antiva Island was horrified by the power of the sea dragon. The pirates who were stationed along the coast ran away. The remaining people also looked at the fleet that was coming to their doorstep with despair, as if they were ready to be slaughtered.  Such a huge difference in strength made all the last doubts of Kenwell and others disappear.  That's right, there is no need to worry about this attack on the pirates. The enemy is completely vulnerable.  "Attack! Destroy these pirates for Lord Denek." Kenville ordered.  Soon, several small boats filled with soldiers rowed towards Antiva Island, preparing to land and directly occupy the island. ? And battleships use missilesWeapons and other long-range weapons launched attacks on the shore to support our own island landing operations.  For a time, arrows, stones, incendiary bombs and other objects flew towards the island one after another. The port was the first to bear the brunt. With loud noises, bricks and stones flew, and incendiary bombs ignited trees and houses, igniting raging fires and thick smoke.  soaring.  Under the intense firepower, the last remaining pirates on the shore turned and fled for their lives. At this moment, Antiva Island had its door completely open, leaving no trace of defense.  Seeing that Denecke¡¯s troops are about to capture the port, will things really go so smoothly?  Two small boats landed first, and the soldiers who had been preparing for a long time immediately jumped off the boats and waded into the water and rushed to the pier.  Because many houses were burning in the port, thick smoke billowed into the sky, blocking the view.  (To be continued.)
