"Colonel Fred, look, there are two ships over there."
"It's really Captain Barrett! Great, they are still alive!"
"Hey, that ship seems to be a pirate ship? Why is the leader on someone else's ship?"
"Those are the people from the Dawn Group! Oh my god, it's really them!"
"Who is the Dawn Group?"
"That is the most sincere friend and savior of our ruling team!"
""
Half a day later, Su Lun and the others found a ship of members of the "Holy Judgment Group" drifting at sea.
As soon as the two groups of people met, the Liming Group immediately became lively.
This time, Barrett and the others ventured to the Moros city-state to rescue people, and rescued more than 300 people from slave traders. Including the previous team members, there were a total of 500 or 600 people.
This is also the last direct descendant of the "Holy Judgment Legion", the ace army of the Luying Empire that has had outstanding military exploits for hundreds of years.
These are the real elite knights of the Luying Royal Family, with extraordinary combat power.
However, there is no Judgment Team now, only the "Dawn Pirates".
Now the "Dawn Group" has instantly grown into a large group of nearly a thousand people.
Three battleships, almost full of three squadrons.
Leader Senjo's first team, Dr. Banks' second team, and now Barrett's third team.
This fighting strength is among the top few among all the pirate groups in the North Sea.
It doesn't matter even if he has just been rescued and has no equipment. There is a large amount of equipment and supplies in the warehouse of the Dawn Regiment. They are the spoils of annihilating several divisions of the North Sea Fleet. It is more than enough to equip these hundreds of people.
Su Lun and the crew held a grand welcome banquet for the new friends. They presented the best wine and meat and the most sincere enthusiasm.
This also moved the former royal knights on the Judgment Panel to tears.
They have lost their relatives, their honor, their organization, and everything.
The whole world once abandoned them, but now, the Dawn Group has given them new hope.
Su Lun and the others want to catch up with the "Bald Eagle".
We had received information before that the ship carried a national gift exchanged by the King of the North Sea for the Marfa Empire.
Now that we know that the "Alcatraz Treasure" incident is probably a conspiracy, that ship is even more special.
Dr. Banks accurately determined the location of the ship and found that the ship did not go back to the Marfa Empire, but actually went to Alcatraz Island.
This is obviously abnormal.
The three ships of the Dawn Regiment also pursued them all the way, hoping to intercept the opponent before approaching Alcatraz Island.
On the three warships, everyone is preparing for battle.
Repair ships, maintain artillery, familiarize yourself with equipment, and run in with new team members
Barrett is worthy of being a professional senior general. He has very rich experience in commanding large-scale wars and military training. He completed the personnel reorganization of three warships in a short period of time. Everyone determined a unified code word and command authority.
, emergency plan, reward and punishment system
Su Lun looked at it and thought it was very good. The addition of professional soldiers like Barrett could be regarded as making up for one of the shortcomings of the Dawn Regiment.
Although it may not necessarily copy the Luying Royal Knights, it can save the trial and error detours of the future development of the Dawn Regiment.
But in large teams, scientific management will make the team more cohesive and have a sharp knife-like combat effectiveness!
Although the Dawn Group is a pirate group that advocates freedom, it will become bigger and bigger in the future. These are the ways to go.
The three warships rode the wind and waves on the sea at extremely high speeds.
"Mr. Henk, is there anything you need my help with?"
"Oh, no, Miss Kama, leave the hard work of collecting the cable to us giants."
"Mr. Tam, is there anything I can do? I can do it."
"No, Miss Karma. Washing the deck is a dirty job. Just let us rough men do it."
""
Kama's first day on board.
She felt as if she had stayed in the cabin on the first day, which was not very polite.
On the deck, she was also helping with face recognition everywhere, hoping to integrate into and become familiar with this new team as soon as possible.
After getting along with each other, she also found that everyone on the boat looked fierce, but they were all easy to get along with.
Karma tried hard to get involved in some of the ship's work, but everyone seemed to have their own things to do and she couldn't do anything to help.
There are not many people I know, including the domineering Senjou-san, the mysterious Miss Pandora, the faceless Dr. Banks, the three giant brothers Hunk, and Captain Haguro.
, Captain Somezaki
After saying hello, she found that everyone on the boat was very warm, kind and gentle to her, just like family members.
Karma naturally knew that this was because he was a disciple of Su Lun.
My teacher's status in the Liming Group is very special.
At this time, she saw Lolota practicing her sword on the bow of the ship.
Karma remembered that this was Sister Senjo's disciple.
Probably because they are about the same age, Karma feels that she is easier to get along with.
They are all orphans now, but they were once minor nobles and have many similar experiences.
The two chatted for a few words and quickly became familiar with each other.
They sat on the side of the boat, swaying their legs, with charming girlish smiles on their faces.
While chatting, the conversation came to Su Lun.
Karma felt that meeting Suellen was the luckiest thing in her life.
But since last night, her shock has not stopped. In today's battle, she also saw how terrifying her teacher's strength was.
This is the puppet master in her mind.
But after boarding the boat, Su Lun could no longer see anyone, which made Kama feel a little uncomfortable.
She asked Lolotta: "Miss Lolotta, is the teacher usually like this?"
Lolotta smiled and said: "Yes. Mr. Su Lun works very hard. As long as you are on the ship, you can hardly see anyone. But if you go to the laboratory to look for him, you will definitely find him."
After saying this, she pouted and said: "Mr. Su Lun is the kind of person who is already super powerful and works very hard. I always get knocked on the head by the teacher, saying that I am stupid and don't work hard."
Hearing this, Karma couldn't help but chuckle, suddenly thought of something, and asked again: "Are the teacher and Senjo-san lovers?"
Lolotta rolled her eyes, "Well, it's hard to say."
Karma was surprised: "It's hard to tell?"
Lolotta didn't know how to explain it, and a strange smile appeared on her face: "The relationship between the teacher and Mr. Su Lun is quite special, and I can't explain it in a few words. Well, you will know it later."
Karma: "Oh"
At this time, Tani suddenly slipped down from the cable while hanging upside down on the mast observation tower, "Hey, Miss Kama, my name is Tani, nice to meet you!"
Kama was startled, "Ah, my name is Kama. The teacher introduced you just now, I remember your name."
Lolotta was obviously very familiar with it. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "This is Mr. Navigator who loves to cry."
Hearing this, a hint of shame appeared on Tani's face, "Lolota, can you stop mentioning the past?"
Lolotta covered her mouth and chuckled, "No."
Karma also smiled and said nothing.
Three teenagers of similar age started laughing and communicating on the deck.
The crew looked at them with kind smiles on their faces.
The "Dawn" of their Dawn Group will grow up quickly and shine with brilliance
After the welcome banquet, Su Lun stayed in the laboratory transformed from the captain's cabin.
Previously, he intercepted and killed the 7th Division, peeled off the soul of Vasily Tirmidor, the "Thousand Plane Puppet Hand", and gained a lot of puppet knowledge.
Although this guy is vicious and murderous, he has to say that his talent in puppetry is quite impressive.
Otherwise, he would not have secretly learned the secret inheritance of the Boyle family as a registered disciple, and also developed many of his own unique puppet skills, becoming a "puppet master".
Su Lun also had to admit that harvesting this wave of experience saved him from decades of hard work in skill training.
It also made up for his many deficiencies in puppet production, control, and techniques, and even opened up some new ideas.
Although the line of mechanism puppet techniques also comes from the line of puppet masters, it is more superior in the sophistication and functionality of the puppets.
For example, the stripped [Mysterious Thousand Hands] skill, this technique allows people to control puppets to a "subtle" level, more refined and more precise!
Su Lun directly stripped off this skill that he had gained over decades of proficiency, and directly brought his puppet control to a big level.
Coupled with [Puppet Theater], the two arcane techniques complement each other, and the combat power of the puppet army will be very terrifying.
It's not just these gains.
A large number of inherited classics, mechanism science, puppet science, and secret techniques of the "lineage of Mechanical Puppet Masters" were found in Sulen Vasily's storage ring.
In addition to the classics, there are also some inherited treasures of the Boyle family, and even two precious "surrogate dolls".
Su Lun had to digest those classics by himself, which would probably take many years.
But Vasily had been studying these classics hard before, and his memory was very rich in knowledge, which was also convenient for Su Lun. The [Reaper] talent was directly stripped away, and the knowledge was directly digested in his mind.
This also directly accelerated the progress of another matter.
That is to repair the [Mechanism Puppet Heart] and release his other disciple Aberke.
Originally, Su Lun didn't know much about mechanisms, and he wasn't sure at all if he wanted to repair such top-notch alchemy items.
Now I think it is very possible.
Su Lun gained so much that he needed a lot of time to digest and integrate the knowledge into his own "knowledge tree".
So I was always in the cabin and didn't go out.
The speed of the "Pulsatilla" was a bit ridiculous. The three ships of the Dawn Regiment used their alchemy formations to sail at full speed, and then managed to close the distance to dozens of nautical miles.
However, that was already two days later.
Su Lun was studying his puppet in the captain's cabin, when suddenly the observer's warning came from the deck: "Attention, everyone, there is a suspicious ship ahead!"
As soon as these words came out, the command from the commander on duty came through the communicator: "Everyone, prepare for battle!"
Su Lun glanced at the thick fog outside the window, and instead of staying in the cabin, he quickly came to the deck.
At this moment, the deck was already full of people.
Su Lun walked to the bow of the ship and asked Qianjiao: "What's going on?"
Qian Jiao pointed forward and said: "There is a drifting ship in the direction of eleven o'clock. We have raised the flag, but they did not respond. It seems that there is no living person on the ship."
When Su Lun heard this, there was a hint of doubt on his face. He took out his monocular and looked in that direction.
At this moment, there is thick fog floating on the sea.
This is already dangerous waters.
His eyesight was better than others, so he could clearly see the ship on the opposite side floating like a ghost.
The ship's flag was hung with the "Three Musketeers and Skull and Bones Flag", and Su Lun's mind immediately reflected the relevant information.
This seems to be a large pirate group called the "Silver Spear Pirates", which is not weak. The leader is a fifth-level professional, with a bounty of 110 million "Shark Sniper" Friedrich, and he has many good men.
Hundreds of people.
Su Lun seemed to have discovered something and jumped onto the mast. When he looked again, he immediately saw that there was no human figure on the plywood of the ship. However, if he looked carefully, he could find blood stains and some biological limbs on the side of the ship.
There were also traces of the corpse being dragged.
But the strange thing is that no traces of fighting were seen on the ship.
Su Lun's pupils shrank slightly and immediately said: "Tani, pay attention to the movement in the sea!"
"Yes, Mr. Sullen!"
Tali did not dare to be careless and listened to the movement in the sea.
"Mr. Sullen, what should we do now?"
"The 'Steam Ship' and 'Judgment Ship' stay where they are, let's move closer!"
"good!"
Now that we have encountered it, it is obviously inevitable to avoid it.
Su Lun and the others approached cautiously.
With Tani's ability and the mechanical octopus swimming quickly under the boat, even if there is a sea monster approaching, they can detect it immediately
Suellen's ship approached the "Musket".
After more than ten meters, the stormtroopers jumped over first.
"Captain, no living people were found! There are no monsters either."
"There were no signs of fighting in the cabin."
""
Perception professionals quickly confirmed that there was no sign of life on the ship. As they saw, it was an empty ship.
Su Lun and Qian Jiao also jumped over.
They observed it overtime and then walked into the cabin.
The supply equipment in the cabin was still there, and the cannons were not loaded with ammunition. All these signs indicated that there was no battle going on here.
But the cabin where the crew rested was in a mess. The quilts were lifted everywhere, and personal belongings were scattered everywhere. It was like the sleeping crew members who were dragged out of their beds by something else. Peaceful didn't resist at all.
No one spoke in the cabin, and a strange atmosphere filled the air.
Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone felt a chill running down their spines, as if they were being secretly targeted by some devil.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted at the bottom of the cabin: "Boss, a body was found in the bottom cabin!"
Su Lun and Qian Jiao looked at each other and walked away immediately.
The bottom warehouse is a storage room, where a lot of tobacco, bacon and smoked fish are stored, and the air is mixed with a strong strange smell.
It was probably because of the strong smell that the monster ignored the corpse.
Su Lun glanced at the pirate "sleeping" in the cargo pile. He was obviously a sentry.
The deceased was about 20 years old, dressed in pirate attire, and had no external injuries on his body.
Su Lun looked at it and then stretched out his hand to press on the abdomen of the corpse. There was no obvious damage to the internal organs.
He himself was proficient in forensic anatomy, but this strange way of death made him frown and show his confusion.
Seeing this, Senjo put one hand on the hilt of his sword and asked, "What do you think?"
Su Lun thought for a while and said: "The deceased did not have any external injuries. He should have been killed directly by means similar to spiritual attacks, and then the body was transported away. Obviously, the person who did it was not a human being, but a kind of monster. They only attack
They are interested in the corpse and have not touched any money or materials. This is the 'Musket Pirates', they are not weak, they can kill them silently, and the monsters that attack them are very strong."
As he spoke, he added: "Tell everyone to be careful."
Chijou nodded as he listened.
Several captains behind him also passed on the order.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps sounded again on the cabin, "I heard that a body was found?"
I turned around and saw that it was indeed Dr. Banks walking over.
Su Lun said: "The doctor came just in time, can you tell the specific cause of this man's death?"
Professional matters should be left to professionals.
Dr. Banks nodded and said nothing.
He walked straight to the body, observed it first, and then put his hand on the body.
At this moment, everyone watched as his dark arm seemed to melt and turned into streams of asphalt-like liquid, which penetrated through the mouth and nose of the corpse.
Although Su Lun knew that Dr. Banks' method was a bit special, his eyelids twitched when he saw this.
However, this effect was excellent. Dr. Banks felt for a while, as if he had discovered something, and said: "The time of death was about ten hours ago, probably late last night. The internal organs and
The blood vessels were ruptured, especially the intracranial tissue was damaged. This was the cause of his death."
Hearing this, Su Lun was surprised and said: "It wasn't a mental attack that caused death?"
"no."
Dr. Banks said in a very affirmative tone, "Sound waves of certain special frequencies can cause this kind of large-scale resonance damage to internal organs."
Hearing this, Su Lun immediately understood something, "You mean, the murderer is the 'Siren Siren'?!"
This is a kind of sea monster that usually only appears in legends and is rarely seen by people.
Because everyone I saw was dead.
Legend has it that it is a sea monster with a human face and the body of a bird. It has a singing voice like nature and likes to eat people. It usually appears at night.
The "Song of the Siren" that people pass down orally usually refers to this.
Human beings will die in that beautiful singing after listening to it.
In fact, the legend is very magical, but in essence, that kind of singing is actually a kind of "infrasound" that humans cannot hear.
This kind of infrasound wave has extremely strong penetrating power and can penetrate the atmosphere, sea water, soil, and obstacles.
Wooden ships, even steel ships, cannot completely block the propagation of sound waves. They are not easily attenuated, and are not easily absorbed by water and air.
Infrasound waves of certain frequencies are close to or even the same as the vibration frequency of human organs, and can easily resonate with the human brain and organs. In mild cases, the person may be frightened, mad and restless; in severe cases, the person may rupture with blood and die on the spot.
Just like how the corpse in front of you died!
The most important thing is that this kind of infrasound wave cannot be heard by the ordinary human auditory system!
Dr. Banks nodded: "Yeah."
Su Lun frowned as he heard this, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
At least if we find out the cause of death, it will be much easier to handle.
Ordinary humans cannot hear this secondary sound wave, so they are killed silently.
But some people who have awakened their auditory talent can hear it.
It just so happened that there was someone on their ship who had awakened the talent of [D-032-Hearing Enhancement].
Moreover, even if the awakened person's abilities are not developed enough and cannot hear the songs of some high-level sirens, animals can still hear them!
Tani can communicate with animals in the sea. Common whales and jellyfish can hear various infrasound waves!
In other words, the "Siren Siren" is not a big threat to the Dawn Regiment!
Since there was no threat, Su Lun had an idea in his mind: puppet material!
Although the "Siren Siren" has a terrifying singing voice, its actual combat power is very weak.
But their vocal organs are very precious.
No matter how superb the puppetry skills are, things made by man are far less perfect than natural ones.
This [Siren Siren's Voice] is one of the most ideal materials for making [Wailing Puppet] recorded in the classics of the Puppet Master lineage!
Dr. Banks analyzed the cause of death of the corpse, and suddenly the incident changed from a terrorist incident to a normal sea monster attack.
Everyone in the Dawn Group breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone is prepared to beware of the sea monster attack.
Users with [enhanced hearing] abilities are always on alert, and Tani is also concentrating on listening to the sounds in the sea.
As a precaution, all the sentries were replaced with double sentries, one with its ears sealed with red wax, and the other standing guard normally.
This is the legendary only way to prevent the "Song of the Siren" from reaching your ears.
Su Lun returned to their own ship, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Senjo looked at his expression and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Su Lun pondered for a moment, then revealed his first move, and said: "We are chasing the Bald Eagle. But in fact, this is no longer the closest route to Alcatraz Island. Why is this Silver
Will the Pirate Robbery Group be destroyed here?"
Chijo just didn't like to use her brain to speculate. When she heard this, she keenly noticed something and said: "Are you trying to say that this 'Silver Spear Group' is also here for the 'Bald Eagle'?"
"Well. That's the problem."
Su Lun nodded.
His information came from Van Gogh, most likely from the Luying royal family, or from some big force.
Now on the "Balad Eagle", well-informed people all know that Oleg gave the Marfa Empire treasures in return.
There will definitely be a group of people who will pay attention to this batch of goods.
He expressed his doubts: "If our guess is correct, this 'Silver Spear Group' is really coming for Marfa's shipment, then why did the 'Bald Eagle' continue to sail when they met and died?"
"
Qian Jiao also thought about it and said: "If it's not a coincidence, then the people in Mafa may have mastered a method to avoid the sea monster, or prevent the sea monster from attacking? Even they were going on
?”
People in the Marfa Empire are not fools.
It is impossible that the intelligence leakage aspect was not taken into consideration.
Moreover, their intelligence system is not weaker than that of the Luying Empire, not to mention that this is the territory of the King of the North Sea.
Su Lun's eyes gradually deepened, and he had roughly connected all the logic in his mind.
He murmured: "Now that I think about it, it's possible that those guys spread the news on purpose, and then used the Kraken in this sea area to catch everyone in one go."
Qianjou was also amazed when he heard this, and sighed with emotion, "What a good method."
At this time, Su Lun added: "But it's not entirely bad news for us."
Qian Jiao looked over with doubtful eyes, "Oh?"
Su Lun stared at the sea in the distance and said meaningfully: "After all, you have to use real bait for fishing."
After a pause, his pupils suddenly froze: "There must be a valuable treasure on board the Pulsatilla!"
