After the unusual calm, the sea began to ripple again, and it was out of control. The cumulus clouds that had accumulated for a long time shattered almost in the blink of an eye. Amidst the roar of the wind, the ship's ropes and sails were stretched as never before.
Tighten up.
The strong wind blew away Ella's hair. She faced the wind and shouted towards the observation tower with difficulty:
"Has the sail been furled on the other side?"
"No!" shouted the soldier on the observation deck, "it's still full sail!"
"Humph, you want to escape? Can you escape?"
Ella turned to face the military band who was called to the deck and signaled them to start playing music. The sound of the avros echoed in the empty sea, shocking and a little long. This was a letter of war, a declaration of war, it was
The horn before the battle. Ella uses this horn to convey a message to the other side - there is no option for negotiation, if you don't surrender, be prepared to die in battle!
Amid the sound of trumpets and the sound of wind, Lübeck's fleet rose and fell with the waves.
"King of Sweden, the sailors on the opposite ship seem to be afraid!" The soldiers on the observation deck observed with the Eye of Hermes while continuing to report to Ella below, "There was a commotion on the deck, and then someone
Slapping the sailors!"
"Very good, this is the effect we want!" Ella nodded with satisfaction, "Then how is their sail?"
"The sail is still full, and it has not changed direction or stowed away." The soldier on the observation deck shouted, "It seems to be preparing to escape at full speed!"
As he spoke, the wind became several times stronger. The waves began to cause the flying Sealander to sway visibly, and Ella's clothes tightened as if someone was pulling her backwards. Compared to the deck, the towering
The raised mast shook even more violently. According to Ella's order, more than 30 soldiers who were waiting on the mast were holding on to the canvas and ship ropes, trying to maintain balance on the mast. Suddenly, a startling sound came from the mast.
Phew, a soldier was thrown off the mast by the violent shaking, and fell into the sea with a "bang", causing a splash of waves.
The soldiers working on the deck hurried to the side of the ship and threw a rope in the direction of the falling water. After taking a few sips of sea water, the fallen soldier finally swam to the rope and put it around his waist.
The soldiers on the deck worked together again and finally fished him out.
Such a strong wind made Ella flinch a little. She turned around and asked the officer commanding the ship: "How is the situation? Can you still hold on?"
"To be honest, it's a bit bad." The pirate officer directing the ship's operation shouted to the soldiers on the observation deck: "Look clearly, has the sail on the other side been furled?"
"No... there is!" The soldier's voice came intermittently amid the storm, "Still... full... condition!"
"What a talent." The pirate officer said cursingly, "In this case, King of Sweden, I suggest that we continue to keep the sails full. If the other side does not take in the sails, we will definitely not take them in!"
Ella gritted her teeth and clicked: "Okay, let's do it!"
After a while, the roar of the wind became more and more powerful. Along with a dazzling lightning struck from the sky, raindrops the size of red beans fell from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a waterfall falling from the sky!
"Bring some strong liquor!" the pirate officer waved his hand and shouted, "Brothers, warm yourself up, there's still more work to be done!"
The waves became more violent and the ship rocked more and more.
"Your Majesty, I feel that the situation is not good!" Amy shouted to Ella while holding on to the ship's rope to stabilize her shaking body, "These pirates seem to be on top!"
Under the constant pursuit of the flying Zealander, Lübeck's merchant ship could be seen directly from the deck. Ella asked the soldiers on the observation deck to come down, snatched back the Eye of Hermes, and began to observe the opposite side by herself.
fleet.
"But Amy, Lübeck did not take away the sails either." Ella said, "Both you and I only know a little bit about navigation, so let's leave this to professionals!"
Amy wiped away the rain that obscured her vision and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Your Majesty, you can't use Lübeck as a reference! If they take down the sails, they will die if we catch up. But there is no need for us to gamble with the weather.
of!"
Lightning struck again, accompanied by rumbling thunder. The strong wind roared like a lion, making the sea tremble more violently.
Lübeck's ship was far less sturdy than the flying Zealander. Under the strong wind pressure, the ship's mast was horribly bent. There was a faint sound of wood whining in the storm. Finally, "click"
With a sound, a mast on a Lübeck merchant ship was completely twisted by the strong wind. Although the ship's rope involved in the mast tried its best to hold it and prevent it from falling into the sea, the mast could no longer be strong.
It stood up. It leaned weakly on the adjacent mast. The second mast was already overwhelmed, and the sudden increase in weight became the last straw that crushed it. There was another "click", and the second mast was already overwhelmed.
The two masts broke in response. This chain quickly extended to the third mast. In the blink of an eye, all three masts on the Lübeck merchant ship were completely broken.
Ella could see this scene clearly with the Eye of Hermes. She pushed away the pirate officer and shouted to the sailor waiting on the mast: "Reef the sails! Reef the sails immediately!"
A huge wave came over at this moment, and the flying Sealander tilted violently. Ella was thrown over, and she and a bunch of pirates crowded onto the side of the ship on the other side.
The shaking of the mast was ten times more violent than the shaking on the deck. Even with all their strength, the soldiers on standby were still thrown into the water one after another.
"Quick!" Ella climbed out from the crowd with difficulty, "hurry up and throw the rope to rescue the person!"
Before the soldiers could react, the flying Sealander suddenly tilted to the other side. Huge waves followed one after another, swallowing up everything on the sea like a beast. When Ella stepped off the deck again
When they got up, the soldiers who fell into the water had completely disappeared in the waves.
Without enough time to feel sad, Ella kicked the soldiers up from the deck one by one, shouting while kicking: "Quick! Climb up the mast and take down the sail!"
"It's too late!" The pirate officer's voice came from underneath a group of soldiers, "The wind is stronger than I expected. We have to cut off the mast immediately!"
"Cut off the mast?" Ella was shocked and angry, "What nonsense are you talking about? This is deep in the ocean! If we cut off the mast here, there is no way we can float back to the coast alive!"
"But if the mast is not cut off, the ship will capsize today. We will die together with those madmen in Lübeck!"
