"Minister of War in the World Headquarters, Dr. Solomon H."
"What's the purpose of him calling you here?"
"The top leaders of the World Headquarters want to take Lulu back."
"What's the purpose?"
"The person who delivered the mission didn't elaborate... but I heard that Lulu has mastered some key biotechnology, and Dr. H wants him to continue working for the institute."
"Are Lulu's parents still alive?"
"I don't know the details. This is the news Dr. H gave us. He asked us relatives to use this news to persuade Lulu to go back..."
"How did you find us?"
"This is a coincidence... There is news from the Navy that the last place where your 'ghost group' appeared was in this sea area, and then we stayed here for several months. Not only the 'Golden Octopus Territory', but other surrounding areas as well. There are people watching the human territory too. If we can’t bring Lulu back, we will be implicated and severely punished when we go back..."
"What if...Lulu doesn't want to go back with you?"
"As long as he can come back with us obediently, if not... Dr. H said that as long as he survives, I will notify the navy's experts and someone will naturally take action."
"..."
Raymond directly used mental hypnosis, and the questioning was much easier.
The arrogant Mr. Sherwood immediately showed his fox tail.
After asking and answering questions, they soon got the truth of the matter, which was quite similar to what Raymond had guessed before.
The Giant King Uri broke through the golden bloodline and was born, which not only broke the layout of the World Headquarters in the "Country of Giants", but also caused the navy to suffer heavy losses during the war.
Although the giants have not revealed any information about the source of the bloodline breakthrough potion, anyone with a discerning eye knows that top biological scientists are involved in this matter!
To outsiders, the identity of the "scientist" is a secret.
But the academic circle of cutting-edge biological sciences is only that big, and there are only a handful of people with this level of strength in the world.
What's more, Lulu's solution to the "Ackermann virus" in the Black Sea has been publicized around the world. The "ghost group" happened to appear in Jaffatron, and the clues became clear immediately.
All kinds of clues point to indicating that Lululu Y. Fritznero, who was once regarded as an "abandoned son", may have mastered a cutting-edge biotechnology that even their world headquarters research institute has not mastered.
Therefore, Dr. "Solomon H", who was Lulu's former half-mentor, wanted to trick Big Tou's son into returning to work for them.
But scientific research requires people to be "willing", so there is little value in being captured by force.
Dr. H then thought of asking Lulu's distant relatives to wait and see, and induce him to go back on the condition of "pardoning his parents", and also asked Lulu to be grateful to him...
...
After hearing the whole story, Lulu felt very uncomfortable.
At first, he was a little excited when he met this "died man in a foreign country" cousin, but now his face was full of gloominess as if he had been plotted against.
However, he is most concerned about the safety of his parents.
Lulu looked at Raymond and said eagerly: "Captain, can you help me ask again, are my parents still alive?"
Mr. Sherwood really didn't know anything about it, but Raymond did have some idea of the conspirators' nature.
"Sherwood cannot lie under hypnosis. He must be really unaware."
He thought about it and then said: "But if Dr. H really wants you to go back and work for them, there is a high chance that your parents are still alive. Otherwise, even if you lie to you to go back, it will be meaningless..."
After saying this, Raymond pursed his lips and immediately realized how sophisticated Dr. H's move was.
When Lulu heard the news that her parents were still alive, she would definitely not let it go.
If he goes back obediently, he will follow the trend and offer him some kind of pardon for his bad reputation, so that Lulu can be grateful and continue to serve the World Headquarters.
If they don't comply, they will threaten their parents' lives, and at least they can get those key genetic technologies.
Hearing what Raymond said, Lulu's eyes were full of complexity, hope, expectation, and worry, "It would be great if they are still alive..."
He wanted to save his parents, but he didn't know what to do now.
Is it possible that we really want to follow this cousin who is obviously harboring evil intentions?
During the past few years of his escape, he had already seen clearly the ugly face of the World Headquarters. How could he go back to help him do evil again?
He is capable of such crazy things as releasing a virus on a large scale, so it is possible for him to collude with those people again!
"Lulu, you don't have to worry too much. The news about joining is true. Your parents should be safe for the time being..."
Raymond obviously saw the anxiety of Big Head's son and said: "We will set off to Hippocrates now to look for clues. If your parents are really imprisoned, we will find a way to rescue them."
Coincidentally, Roland told him that there was another copy of "Haines' Notes" in Hippocrates, the "medical capital", and he would have to go there sooner or later.
What's more, Raymond was no stranger to the Medical City in his previous life. As long as Lulu's parents still built it, the chances of saving people were quite high.
Anna on the side also interjected: "Yes, let's go there first to confirm the news, so as not to fall into the trap of the World Headquarters."
Colin: "Yeah! I also think we should go find out the news in person..."
Fat Cat: "Agree..."
Everyone agreed.
Lulu's face was full of gratitude: "Thank you, I have caused trouble to you guys."
But at this moment, before anyone had time to say anything more, the Sequence 1 mercenary leader of the "Iron Sword Mercenary Group" was the first to wake up.
"No! It's a mind control spell!"
The burly man looked shocked. He didn't understand what had just happened, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.
He was about to draw his weapon, but at this moment, his expression froze. When he lowered his head, he saw a blood hole the size of a fist appeared in his heart, and a beam of black light quietly penetrated through.
Astonishingly, it was Colin who took action and used the "Magic Annihilation" artillery to kill the mercenary leader in heavy armor with one shot.
At this moment, several other people, including Mr. Sherwood, had a faint trace of blood on their necks, and they were already dead.
With a "clang" sound, the magic sword returned to its sheath.
Raymond killed a few people without hesitation, squinted at the steel ship island in front of him, and slowly exhaled: "Let's set sail, our whereabouts have been exposed, it seems that the trouble will not be small..."
"Yes, Captain!"
Everyone took the order and left.
.......
At the same time that Raymond and the others left the "Golden Octopus Territory", the major forces had quietly begun to take action.
The [Night Emperor] of the "Eight Endless Emperors" has hidden lines in almost all the underground forces in human territories in the Endless Sea. Just moments after the "Golden Ghost" left the port, a fleet in the nearby waters received the news.
On the sea, the weather is calm.
A fleet flying the "Black Sun and Skull Flag" is sailing on the sea. This is the exclusive pirate flag of the [Night King].
The fleet has a total of fifteen battleships, three "Sea King" class battleships, and twelve Predator battleships.
On the main ship, a pink "Flamingo Flag" secondary flag is hung on the mast.
This is the fleet led by the captain of the 16th division of the "Night Emperor Pirates", the great pirate with a bounty of 955 million, [Flamingo] Rein Kaledo.
"Captain, the latest news..."
"Captain Rhine, is that 'Ghost Pirates' so evil? A Sequence 4 little swordsman has a bounty of more than 700 million. There are only seven or eight shrimps in this small pirate group, and there are five with bounties over 100 million."
?”
"They must have some ability. But the reason why they can offer such a high bounty is because of their special status. That Raymond is an important subordinate of [Blood King] Capone, and the other one is the 'Giant King' who is currently in the limelight.
It’s not surprising that Uli’s son... has such a high bounty.”
"Tsk tsk... Others are afraid of him [Blood Emperor] Capone, but we are not afraid. That kid dared to kill Captain Unn, so we must be prepared to pay with our lives. Our [Night Emperor] group is not a vegetarian either...
.”
"There are a lot of rumors now. It seems that all forces are looking for this 'Ghost Pirate Group'. The leader told us to catch them quickly, saying that there will be a big surprise..."
"I heard that the pirate group's ship is an iron toad ship that can fly into the sky. Let's notify the fleet to jointly round up them. Don't let them escape!"
"Yes, Captain!"
"..."
...
After being discovered in the "Golden Octopus Collar", Raymond knew that the situation seemed not good.
In the past, only the navy offered bounties, so the problem wasn't that big. Now, they have black, white, and gray forces all planning to cause trouble for them. This matter obviously cannot be taken lightly.
Sure enough, not long after leaving Hong Kong, a new message came from the phone bug "Didi Didi".
Raymond looked at it, pursed his lips, and told everyone the news he had just received: "Everyone, prepare for war. Someone has just posted a mission to find our coordinates in the Bounty Hunters Guild, with a reward of 10 million gold coins. Now
The ships in the nearby waters should have received the news, and there will probably be many people out to sea to find our whereabouts..."
This was a little bit of information he had left in the Chamber of Commerce with a small amount of money.
Now it seems that the money was well spent.
"Oh, a bounty of 10 million gold coins for just one coordinate? You're really rich."
"It's probably the wealthy coal bosses of the David family who did it..."
"Tsk tsk... Just a coordinate is so valuable. I don't know what kind of sky-high price David and his people promised to those top hunters to catch us..."
"After all, the number two figure died..."
"..."
Raymond looked at the unconcerned friends in front of him and rolled his eyes.
These guys have also become a little "floating" since the "Elf Secret Realm" came out.
Of course, they do have the capital to float, especially on the sea.
With the current level of technology of the Iron Toad, if it were to be chased and escaped again, it would really be a waste of all the good materials!
Now, regardless of firepower, defense, speed... the "Golden Ghost" has the qualifications to outshine the rest.
If a naval battle really breaks out, let alone taking advantage, you will definitely not lose.
But if the trouble is not solved, it will still be there.
This time, Raymond did not intend to sit still and wait for death.
"Everyone, please enter a state of combat readiness..."
After thinking about it, another gleam flashed across his eyes, and he said: "This time, we will teach those guys who want to distract us a lesson. Otherwise, there will be no end to it in the future..."
If you really want to avoid it, the "Golden Ghost" can fly and dive. As long as you are careful, it is impossible to fall into danger.
But this time, he had no intention of avoiding this trouble.
Whether it's the David family, the World Headquarters, or the [Night Emperor]...because there are always people who think that their "ghost group" is weak and can be manipulated at will.
The strong will only get stronger as they fight.
Only the weak tremble in the corner.
Be tougher, sometimes instead of "seeking death", it will save a lot of trouble.
Just like the "Eight Endless Emperors", everyone in the world knows that they are criminals with bounties on their heads. But except for the World Headquarters, who dares to trick them?
"Prepare for war?"
Hearing the words of their captain, the eyes of everyone in the "Ghost Group" lit up, and an expression of excitement immediately appeared on their faces as if they were sharpening their knives.
Anna looked like nothing was too big, "Wow... Captain, are we finally going to war?"
Thor patted his shield, "Haha... give those guys some color!"
Colin: "My cannon is already thirsty..."
Nicole: "Hmm... It's also a good idea to use a naval battle to test whether the recent hull enchantment is defective..."
Jiji: "Zhizhizhizhi..." (I am the monkey who wants to become the Pirate King!)
"..."
Raymond looked at the expressions on everyone's ears that perked up when they heard about the war, and felt a little dumbfounded.
This is another bad habit brought back from the "Elven Secret Realm"...
Not even mentioning any individual hobbies, they all like "war".
...
Sure enough, not long after the bounty order was issued, Anna spotted a small warship with a strange movement entering her field of view while the ship was sailing.
"Captain, we found a shark-hunting cruiser. It seems to be hanging us on purpose... Should we speed up and get rid of them?"
"No, just keep sailing at this speed. Send the flag to let them leave."
"I called, but they didn't respond."
"Change course. If they come again, sink them immediately."
"yes!"
...
"Bald" Boris thinks today is his lucky day.
He is a peripheral squad leader of the 16th Division of the "Night Emperor Pirates". He is responsible for conducting robberies, patrolling and spying on the enemy.
His vehicle is a shark hunting cruiser. This is a flexible warship known for its speed, which is perfect for tracking. Like a shark that smells blood, this kind of warship will never lose track of its prey.
A few hours ago, an urgent bounty mission was announced in the group, saying that whoever discovers the ship called "Ghost Pirate Group" first will get an internal bounty of 10 million.
They happened to be active in this sea area and wanted to try their luck by wandering around.
Unexpectedly, they actually let the blind cat encounter a dead mouse!
"Captain, the ship ahead of us is definitely the 'Ghost Pirates'. They even gave us a flag to let us leave..."
"Don't worry about them, we are only responsible for keeping track of their whereabouts, and we will deal with them when Captain Rhine and others come over. Haha, this ten million is so easy to come by..."
"Captain, I heard that the Oliver family, the shipbuilding tycoon of Hex City, suffered huge losses from this 'ghost group' in naval battles, and several battleships were sunk. I think we should be more careful."
"At this distance... the range of the 'Sea King Cannon' with a 100-meter barrel is barely enough. How do you expect a Predator-class battleship to hit us? It's a joke! Just stay far away like this, and we won't get close.
, what can they do to us?”
"..."
Before he finished speaking, a beam of magic energy flashed and hit the hull.
The cruiser "Bald Head" was sunk instantly, and a ball of fire broke out on the sea.
...
Eight days later.
"Oh my god... In the past eight days, it is said that the 'Ghost Pirates' have sunk more than thirty cruisers... None of the tracking ships encountered were spared!"
"Sure enough, as the rumors say, the ship-borne artillery of the 'Ghost Regiment' is very powerful. Moreover, they have sailed so far in such a short time. It seems that their power system does have advantages over ordinary ships.
.”
"I heard that their ship's mechanic came from Hex City and has a pretty good background... It makes sense that the 'Ghost Regiment' ship has such a technological level."
"Although the ones that were sunk were all small warships, they also continued to expose their coordinates. In the past two days, the sinking target range has gotten closer and closer, and the search range has been roughly locked..."
"Yeah! I thought that everything would be fine after killing a few patrol ships. Those stupid young men of the 'Ghost Group' probably don't know that they have been surrounded."
"It's really exciting this time. Not only the navy and bounty hunters, but also the pirates are now paying attention to the "ghost group" again. I heard that the [Night Emperor] even personally went to a division leader..."
"Tsk tsk, I heard that reporters from "Le Monde" have already gone to the sea area to report on the incident..."
"..."
In the past few days, several nearby sea areas have been noisy.
Countless people are paying attention to this naval battle chase, and some bookmakers have even made bets on when the "ghost group" will be destroyed.
Originally rounding up a small pirate group, it was impossible for the Jedi to attract so many people's attention.
But due to the multiple forces competing, unknowingly, this time the heat was aroused.
...
At the same time, "Koenitz Sea".
On a certain sea, a ship with a green tree on its head was sailing leisurely.
Even Raymond himself didn't expect that this matter would be such a big deal.
In the past few days, the phone has been ringing non-stop. Capone, Ilya, Helen, Puius... and even Lorraine from the Revolutionary Army came to inquire about the situation.
"This incident has attracted a lot of attention... The market we were caught within three days of buying was the hottest. Maybe those guys have already locked our position..."
Raymond closed the newspaper and muttered something.
The bookmaker can always get some inside information. Combining the handicap and recent conditions, it is not difficult for him to guess the current situation of the "ghost group".
After playing it for so long, the big fish finally took the bait.
In the past few days, they deliberately maintained a neither fast nor slow speed, deliberately let people discover them, and then sank some tracking ships...
Counting the days, the enemy's encirclement should be almost completed.
In this battle, those guys will definitely be beaten to death!
"Captain! It's foggy in the southeastern sea..."
At this moment, Anna, who was always paying attention to the weather, issued a warning.
After a pause, she said: "Based on the current air pressure and temperature, the formation of that fog is very abnormal..."
"Hmm...'fog of war'! A common tactic used in naval battles is to confuse the opponent's vision..."
Raymond got up from the beach chair, stood on the deck, squinted at the fog in the distance, and murmured: "Tsk, tsk, are we finally going to take action..."
