Late at night, on the route from Toscarter Island to Blue Mountain Island where Bayam was, a steam and sail hybrid passenger ship spewed black smoke from its chimney and ran at a speed that almost caused the boiler to explode.
Another black sailboat, nearly two hundred meters in length, with its front and rear tilted high, like a crescent moon sailing on the sea, followed closely behind. The black mist it emitted was like an invisible giant hand that first caught up with the passenger ship and enveloped it.
This is the flagship of "King of Immortality" Agalito, "Death Announcer" that every ship sailing on the sea avoids!
There are more than a hundred artillery pieces on both sides of it. The pirates with ferocious faces are loading ammunition and taking aim. The huge sails painted with black tombstones are beating and the speed is increasing. They are about to catch up with the passenger ship in front and carry out the first round of bombardment.
Soon, the distance between the two was close enough for Sailor above and the passenger to see each other's expressions, but half of them were panic and despair, and the other half were excitement and violence.
Unlike other Pirate Kings, especially "King of the Five Seas" who had formulated a rule not to kill prisoners, "King of Immortality" Agalito's cruelty and bloodthirsty were quite famous among Above the Five Seass. Otherwise, the overtaken passenger ship would have given up resistance long ago and sacrificed most of its belongings to save its life.
Suddenly, the bulging sail of "Death Announcer" shriveled up, and the excited pirates stopped their movements with stunned expressions. Even the thin black mist that seemed to cover the entire sea dispersed instantly, revealing the crimson Moon in the sky.
Then, the huge sloop quickly turned its bow, and seemed to turn into a black shadow, clinging to the sea surface and sailing towards the depths of the Sonia Sea to the east at a speed far exceeding that of the previous pursuit.
Although he didn't know what happened, the captain of the passenger ship seized this opportunity, put the steam engine in an overload state, quickly opened the distance between him and "Death Announcer", and ran towards the nearest Oravi Island.
After running several nautical miles away, the captain breathed a sigh of relief. He looked back with a telescope and found that the feared pirate ship had disappeared on the sea at some point.
And in the same position in the sky, a female figure slowly emerged. She looked left and right, as if she was looking for something.
Crimson Moon overhead was once again shrouded in dark clouds, the howling wind was blowing, and a sudden storm was about to come.
"Strange, I had clearly distracted myself deliberately to avoid any hostility towards 'King of Immortality' Agalito in my mind, but he seemed to have sensed it in advance. He didn't even care about the ongoing robbery, turned around and ran away..."
Looking at the calm sea below and the passenger ship dragging black smoke slowly away in the distance, Angel was puzzled.
Having had the experience of dealing with "Desire Apostle", she knew that Beyonder of "Devil" Pathway had dangerous premonitions that could detect the malicious intentions against them in advance. Once a complete idea was formed in their mind and actions were taken into practice, they would in turn be targeted by "Devil".
Next, if the attacker is not strong, "Devil" will try to ambush or attack in advance. If the attacker is difficult to deal with, "Devil" will quietly escape and avoid contact.
Therefore, after Angel wandered around the Berserk Sea for a period of time and approached Sonia Sea not so deliberately, he immediately conducted a targeted divination, using the person of Angel to break through the Anti-Divination of "Death Announcer" and "Blatherer", locking its position.
"It seems that there was still a small problem in that divination, the position and time were off... This is the special nature of 'Devil' ability. Even if my Sequence is higher than 'Death Announcer', I can't easily lock its position..."
Angel muttered, and used his eyes as mirrors for another divination, trying to confirm the location of the escaped "Death Announcer".
But this time the result pointed to the direction of Bayam where she came from, and she was obviously misled again.
"This time I caught a clue while taking advantage of 'King of Immortality''s robbery. If 'Death Announcer' is allowed to escape, it will definitely lie dormant for a while, and there won't be such a good chance next time... Even Angel's personality cannot break through Anti-Divination, so that's the only way..."
Thinking of this, Angel looked up at the sky and said as if he was talking to someone:
"Please, another me."
A few seconds later, a faint laughter came from her ears, followed by a hazy picture that came into her eyes.
It was the "Death Announcer" with its head and tail raised high, like a crescent moon on the sea. Its hull was as black as ink, surrounded by a deep black mist. It traveled quickly on the sea at an almost gliding speed without stirring up any waves.
This is a divination performed by Angelica's Mirror Person using the personality of "City of Calamity". Although it cannot be made out of thin air and separated from the connection with mysticism, when Angel has come to the location where "Death Announcer" has robbed, it can penetrate the power of Anti-Divination and lock the opponent's position.
With the help of Mirror Person and "City of Calamity", I am the real master of divination... Angel smiled, and according to the direction determined by divination, got into Mirror World and quickly headed to the sea area.
But when she outlined her figure in the air and glanced at the sea below, she found that "Death Announcer", which was running wildly on the sea half a minute ago, had disappeared again. A thin black mist that was almost invisible to the naked eye was diving towards the bottom of the sea, and in an instant it was out of the range that Angel could sense.
It escaped again, and this time it simply dived into the bottom of the sea... Angel frowned, and was about to consider whether to risk following it, when he suddenly saw a string of bubbles emerging from the sea surface, and several figures slowly surfaced.
Some of them are struggling in the water, and some of them have their eyes closed and seem to have given up resistance. They are all different in height, short, fat, thin, and dressed in different clothes, but they have one thing in common: they all have their own place on the wanted list of various countries.
Among them, the tallest middle-aged man with a face as pale as a rotting corpse is "King of Immortality" Agalito, who has a reward of 120,000 pounds.
On Sunday afternoon, Leonard Mitchell, wearing a shirt and vest, with his hair neatly combed, was sitting in the corner of a North Borough cafe, quickly flipping through the newspapers on the table.
"Intis's four main forces Legion have already set foot on the kingdom's land and are attacking eastward along the Hornacis Mountain Range line. Sivellas County has fallen into the flames of war, and most of the cities have fallen...
"Loen is under attack from both sides, and most of the army has been transferred to the north Ammantha Mountain Range to resist Feysac Empire's offensive. There is not enough time to return to the defense. We only rely on the local garrison and mobile forces. I am afraid that before the end of the year, Desi County and Southville County will be threatened, and that is the granary of Loen. Once attacked, the kingdom will reduce its food production by 60% next year, and before that, the price of food will increase in advance due to the expectation of shortage. Even if there is an order from King, it will not help...
"Feynapotter has stepped up its offensive against Lenburg and other three countries. There are also troops gathering at the border of Loen. It is likely that they will officially declare war on Loen next spring..."
Flipping the pages of "Backlund Daily" in his hand, Leonard's face became increasingly gloomy, because apart from the shocking battle reports, there were news about food price increases, material shortages and curfew extensions. There was almost no news that could cheer people up.
Suddenly, a text message caught his eye:
"Agalito, who calls himself 'King of Immortality', and many of his most vicious pirates have been brought to justice and have been executed recently. It is said that the Navy has cashed in all the bounty, which is as high as 146,000 pounds..."
"King of Immortality"... the one with the lowest bounty among the five Pirate King?
Leonard muttered, tilted his head, and asked in a low voice as if talking to an invisible transparent person beside him:
"Old Man, this is at least Saint, right?"
An old voice immediately came to his ears:
"If you are asking about 'Death Announcer', then it is most likely the 'Blatherer' of Sequence 3. If it is 'Agalito', then it is just like you, just Sequence 5."
Is there any difference between the two... Leonard was stunned and immediately understood the meaning of Pallez's words:
"You mean, the one who can become one of Pirate King is actually the 'Death Announcer', and Agalito is just its captain, or in other words, its puppet?"
"Yes, in fact, clues can be found from various news and rumors. For example, 'King of Immortality' will never leave his flagship, let alone come to the shore, and 'Death Announcer' is very careful to protect himself. Even if he abandons the fleet and his men, he will not put himself in danger. Medium... This is very consistent with the ability and cold-blooded behavior of 'Devil' Pathway... Do you remember the 'Desire Apostle' that was tracked last time? Once they sense an action against them, they will react immediately, setting up an ambush in advance or simply running away.
"This time, Agalito and his men were collectively arrested, perhaps because 'Death Announcer' cut off his tail to survive. After all, the name on the wanted poster is indeed Agalito, not 'Death Announcer'. If a powerful Beyonder tracked it down for the bounty, the result would be like this."
Pallez in his mind said in a tone that saw everything.
But to force Sequence 3's "Death Announcer" to run away, or even leave Agalito as bait, it must be at least a Angel, but as a Angel walking in the world, there are too many ways to easily obtain money and power, so why bother chasing "Devil" Pathway Saint who can sense fatal threats for a bounty of more than 100,000 pounds?
In addition to Angel who has become Angel and is still selling Beyonder Characteristic for thousands of pounds in Tarot Club, can there really be such a poor Sequence 2...
Leonard As thoughts kept pouring into his mind, Pallez suddenly coughed slightly, which brought him back to his senses and subconsciously raised his head to look at the door of the cafe.
A young woman wearing an elegant long dress and a brown cloak pushed in the door. She had curly brown hair and a few freckles on her oval-shaped face, making her look lively and cute. Her big black eyes swept over the few guests in the cafe and quickly locked on Leonard.
Does she know me?
Leonard frowned in confusion, watched the other party slowly walking towards him, sat opposite him, tilted his head slightly and laughed.
This familiar movement reminded Leonard of a woman he had been in frequent contact with recently.
"Shermane?"
he asked confirmingly.
