The Amber Sword - 1277

Gray-white cliffs stand high in the mist. Such scenery can often be seen in the fjords around Soparachi, like silent giants standing by the sea, and ships passing by their feet, so small that they are scary. The wind is a bit cold. It’s not the rustling chill after the firs lead the autumn evening, but the biting low temperature, because this is the southern part of the big glacier, and when people talk about the big glacier, they always change their colors.

The wind screamed at the top of the gorge, making a sound like a ruler scraping across rags. The clouds over the fjord make people feel like the sky is falling down at any time.

In theory, the fog should have been blown away in such a bad weather. But the wind poured straight into the fjord, and the fog outside kept pouring in. Instead, it made the clouds and mist over the strait toss, as if it didn’t stop for a moment.

The fleet departed from Gussel and reached Soparachi in three or four hours. Because of the fog coming from the north, it had to avoid the fjord in advance. The terrain in the Soparachi Fjord is complicated. After traveling for almost half an hour in the winding strait, it is no longer clear to distinguish front, back, left, and right.

As for the pirate’s hiding place, it is even more vague.

Brando was not in a hurry. The rule of law swept the surrounding bay gorges over and over again, carefully searching for the clues he wanted, and soon he found an unusual place. A quarter of an hour later, the fleet appeared there.

It was a gorge in the bay with its own space in the abdomen. The 90-degree angle at the entrance blocked the wind from the outside, making the wide waters seem a bit quiet, with a little mist floating on the water, like a veil.

There is a huge hole in the depths of this inner gorge, and the hole is connected to the sea surface, so that the ship can be navigable. In addition, it is located in the depths of the fjord, which is very private and suitable for pirates to hide. If it hadn’t been for him to spread out his extreme plain, most people would never find it.

When the three boats slowly sailed into this inner gorge, through the mist, and saw the huge hole hanging lonely on the cliff, everyone couldn’t help looking at this man from Egypt with both admiration and admiration. Lord Count of Ruin.

This road is not unthrilling, but Brando led them to fight the siege from Gusail first, and then took out the mythical wealth, heroically “burned”, and just let the fleet go on the wind, before the early morning. Arrived in Soparachi.

Then he decisively ordered the fleet to escape into the fjord ahead of time, led them through the heavy fog with his own strength, and came to this place. Seeing that the pirate’s hiding place is right in front of him, even if he is standing on the opposing side, Instalong and Targus couldn’t help but cheer for each other.

“Madala is not incapable of a nobleman from another country, Lord Earl, if you are willing to bow to your majesty, Elu will remain the same.”

Instalong didn’t know how many times he whispered like this in Brando’s ear.

Brando stood at the bow of the boat, looked back at him with a slight smile, and shook his head: “Can you promise for this, and I have no intention of becoming the King of Eruin. I will have a good talk with your majesty.” But who is the dominant one is still uncertain.”

Instaron sighed, and when the two people saw it, I was afraid that it would be unpredictable after that.

But even if Madara had an excellent dark nobleman, that would be good. In the subconscious, he no longer regarded Brando as a person of the same level as himself, but compared him with the existence of the mercury staff.

But he still didn’t think Brando had any chance. He didn’t have the slightest doubt in his heart about the rise of the Kingdom of the Dead Moon, and in another time and space, it was indeed the same.

The three ships slowly drove into the cave, and the surrounding light dimmed suddenly. Adeni’s knights lit the torch. Under the light of the swaying fire, everyone found that the cave was extremely wide—a wide strip. The deep water channel plunges straight into the dark depths, surrounded by smooth limestone cave walls. The cave is thirty or fifty feet high, and there are countless stalactite pillars hanging densely above the head.

Brando and Tagus had made up their minds to drive in at the risk of letting the ship run aground, but they didn’t expect this waterway to be very good, with a deep draft, it turned out to be like a natural harbor, although the throughput might be a bit smaller. But as an anchorage, it’s also extremely rare. God knows how the pirates discovered this place.

The light of the torch moved slowly as the ship moved forward, illuminating the walls of the surrounding black holes transparently, and the limestone of the cave walls did not know what kind of metal was mixed in, and it actually reflected the yellow light.

But this deep waterway finally came to an end. Soon they saw a small bay where one or two boats could be moored. At the other end of the bay there seemed to be a simple wharf, and the crooked wooden trestle bridge was built into the deep water. , Connected to the shore.

At this moment, there is no ship in this pier, and no trace of pirates can be seen. This made the knights who had weapons in their hands ready to fight immediately relieved, but they were a little unwilling to walk all the way from Gusail and were chased. Like a bereaved dog, the enemy can’t see it at all.

This is obviously very embarrassing for these masters in their respective fields with the dignity of masters-masters on the side of the truth are considered masters in all respects, so that such a group of people can gather together to be mercenaries. Only Ms. Adeni could figure it out-they would rather have a good fight than they did.

Even if you lose.

It turned out to be good. In the end, even the pirates were not touched.

The pirates did not anchor the ship in the port, indicating that they did not settle here. This is nothing strange, after all, this is just a hiding place, not their lair. Just like the temporary anchorages often used by smugglers, they occasionally stay in those places when the storm comes, but they won’t stay there permanently.

Everyone felt stunned, but in fact it was only a mental effect. After all, if they could not do it, no one except the fanatical militants would want to do it.

Two ships entered the harbor one after the other, and the big ship of the ghost car tribe had been left outside, because even the cavern was too big to accommodate such a large armed merchant ship.

There is a layer of mist hanging in the cave, just like the inner gorge outside, but much better than outside the fjord. The fleet in the mist has almost spread over the entire Wagtail Strait at this moment. Brando’s life and I have never seen so many unnamed people in my previous life combined, let alone others.

After the ship was parked, everyone got off the ship, and then Targus ordered the skeleton soldiers on the ship to pierce the ship and let them sink here, so as not to be used by outsiders. The first batch of skeleton soldiers who landed in small boats had already explored the passage at the other end of the cave, and these boats were of course not needed. Tagus and Brando do not expect to wait until the fog outside has dissipated before continuing to go out by boat. Moreover, dozens of miles offshore is not necessarily safe. They must reach the true inland area to completely avoid the march of the unknown. .

This is also the reason why they didn’t forcefully land from other places directly. After landing, they had to open a road along the wilderness, and maybe they would crash into the marching route of the unnamed person at some point. Since this is a landing point for pirates, there must be a safe and easy land route behind it, otherwise this place is at best a safe haven, not a temporary nest.

As for whether the sinking of the ship will cause any trouble to the people behind, Brando has never considered this question. Why should he consider such a thorough consideration for the pirates? As for Targus, he even disdains these considerations. Even if the undead might re-open the port in the future, they still have the means to salvage the sunken ship. As for the pirates, what should they do?

Who cares about this?

After everyone disembarked, the cave seemed a little narrow. After all, in addition to Brando, Delphine, and Huanghuo, there were two squadrons of skeleton soldiers and a group of low-level soldiers on the two Madara armed smuggling ships. The corpse witches, they are usually kept under the bottom compartment, acting as ballast stones with Madara characteristics, and they are only released when they are in battle or when they need to land.

In addition to the skeleton soldiers, there are also the sailors on the armed merchant ships of the ghost car. There are also more than a dozen men, plus the two elders and their subordinates, Fang Qi’s subordinates and servants, and count them down to two or three. As many as ten people.

Adeni and her knights are another group. For a while, there were more than a hundred more people in the pirate’s hideout. This small place is obviously not too narrow if it wants to appear less cramped. possible.

Targus divided one and a half squadrons of skeleton soldiers (the other half of the squadron was lost in Gusell) into two groups. One group opened the way in front and continued to act as cannon fodder, and three corpses were in charge of commanding them, while the others were more numerous. One group is behind the hall, not for precautions, but mainly to serve as a warning. If you encounter an unknown person later, you can at least spot it in advance, and it’s still cannon fodder in essence.

The sailors of the ghost car are naturally prisoners at this time, but the ordinary sailors are not in charge of them. The two elders of the ghost car have good strength, and they are guarded by the knights under Adni— -Of course, Brando was paid for this. For Brando, a generous employer, the female knight couldn’t be more satisfied.

Only the elders of the two ghost cars made Brando and Tagus feel a little bit tricky. If you are not careful, there will be problems.

Those two people have obviously suffered a lot of crimes these days. They have been locked up in the bottom cabin with the skeletons and corpses. They ate inferior food to pigs and dogs—it’s not that Targus deliberately treated them slowly, but The only thing that sailors can eat in the sea is like this. The undead can never prepare a cook specially for the two captives. That is the treatment that Brando and Delphine have.
