Chapter 323 Return to [Cold Sea], Ambush and Attack!

With the arrival of the [Black Swan] and two frigates.

One after another, captains recognized the identities of these three ships.

"Is that the [Black Swan] that has been making a lot of noise recently? It doesn't look like that."

The person who said this was a rich man wearing a purple and black captain's uniform.

The ship under his feet is also purple and black, and in terms of size, it is not inferior to the [Black Swan].

And the crew on his ship is almost fully equipped!

All of them are equipped with the most advanced weapons and equipment, and their aura is quite impressive. You can tell at a glance that they are the elite among the elite.

This man's name is Orlando, and he is the captain of this third-class battleship.

But at the same time, he also has a more prominent identity. He is the third heir to the Hans family on Liuli Island!

Just mentioning the Hans family may make people feel strange.

But when it comes to [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce], even a six-year-old child is familiar with it.

Nowadays, the influence of [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] has radiated to the entire federation, and even almost every island under the jurisdiction of the federation will have a branch of [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce].

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the economic lifeline of the Federation.

The patriarch of the Hans family is the current president of the [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce]!

Of course, holding the position of president does not mean that [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] is completely a family property of the Hans family.

——[Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] implements a board of directors system, and members of the board of directors have the power to check and balance and remove the president.

Even so, the power of the Hans family is evident.

Compared to the long-established Moriarty family, the Hans family actually only emerged in recent decades.

But unlike the former's declining situation, the Hans family can be said to be thriving every year.

Now, it has completely surpassed the Moriarty family and become the leading wealthy family in the [Seven Seas Federation].

Some good people even call the Hans family the "sunset never sets" family to illustrate their prominence and power.

Because of this.

Only Orlando can pull out such a luxurious [Dreadnaught Storm].

This ship is a ship that the Hans family spent a lot of money to build.

Although it is only a third-class battleship, its extremely high mobility, defense, and firepower give it a certain advantage against second-class or even first-class battleships.

If you can't fight, you can still escape!

It is said that the construction of this ship also referred to the legendary "Noah's Ark", which has now become the ghost ship "Diamond Star".

Standing on this ship, Orlando is qualified to point out the [Black Swan].

"Captain Orlando is right."

The captain of a nearby ship echoed: "Then the captain of the [Black Swan] is just a country bumpkin from a small place. How can he compare with you?"

"I really don't know what Daisy and my brother saw in him, and they were willing to degenerate themselves to protect him."

"hehe……"

Hearing this poor flattery, Orlando chuckled, but a coldness flashed in his eyes.

These words really spoke to his heart.

A large part of the reason why Orlando dislikes the Black Swan so much is because of Daisy's favor for Shane.

Originally, there was a trend of marriage between the Moriarty family and the Hans family.

It just so happens that Orlando is still pursuing Daisy.

As long as you spend a while, you'll probably be able to get it!

Who would have thought that after the [Black Swan] arrived at [Liu Li Island], this matter would come to an end inexplicably.

It is obviously unrealistic to say that Orlando has no resentment in his heart.

However, in this teleportation ritual, he could not directly attack the [Black Swan], so he could only use words to vent his dissatisfaction.

other side.

Shane also noticed the strange looks from the ship.

"This ship...why does it look familiar?"

"I feel that the outline is somewhat similar to Xiaoxing..."

However, there were actually quite a few similar-looking ships in the Seven Seas, so he didn't pay too much attention to them. Instead, he silently looked at the vampire ships in the distance.

On those ships, there were even more malicious looks, even with faint murderous intent.

Maybe... what are those vampire guys planning?

However, if they still thought that Xia En and [Black Swan] were as powerful as they were before landing on [Liu Li Island], then they would definitely get a huge surprise!

After calming down his thoughts, Xia En turned his head and looked at the sea that was actively stirring.

I saw little bits of blue light suddenly lighting up on the calm sea.

These light points converged into lines at an extremely fast speed, and then the lines connected with each other to form a magic circle that encompassed the entire sea area.

In order to cope with the possible "second annihilation crisis", federal officials have spent a lot of money.

I don't know how many precious materials were put into this sea area to create this semi-permanent large-scale teleportation circle.

Not only that.

On the outer [Hunting Boat], several powerful and high-status scholars and mages were concentrating on controlling the operation of this magic circle.

"Huh? Weird..."

An old mage with a long white beard frowned and asked doubtfully.

"Why is it so difficult to run the teleportation ritual today?"

"It's like... overloaded?"

Compared with usual times, both the activation of the secret power and the formation and connection of the blue light points have slowed down a lot.

It is as if a person is carrying a load far exceeding his own weight and moving forward with a heavy load.

The white-bearded mage swept his eyes across the sea.

Generally speaking, this phenomenon only occurs when transporting those super-large ships.

But right now, there is clearly no such magnitude among the ships that have set out on the journey?

Strange as it may be, since the teleportation array has been activated, there is naturally no reason to stop halfway.

Otherwise, not only will the teleportation array be damaged, but the ships in it may also fall into space turbulence and be transported to an unknown location.

"Increase the proportion of consumables invested and transfer more resources as soon as possible!"

"If the array collapses, it's no joke!"

As the person in charge of the array, the white-bearded mage immediately issued an order in a swift and resolute manner.

"Use the latest purchased...the material called [Rhinestone Essence]."

"I have tested it, and its properties perfectly match the needs of the array, and its reliability is also guaranteed."

As soon as [Rhinestone] and [Rhinestone Essence] entered the market, they were widely recognized by many industries in [Liuli Island].

Its excellence lies in its high universality and extremely pure nature, without any restrictions.

They can be used in almost any field where secret power is used.

It is only natural that the federal government uses it as a consumable for the teleportation array.

Soon, countless points and lines were connected together.

If someone looks down from a high place, they can see that the azure lines of the entire sea area form a vortex pattern.

Then, the teleportation force began to spread.

"Hmm? This power..."

On the [Black Swan], Xia En raised his eyebrows and felt a little familiar.

At the beginning, in the [Chaos Sea], he used the vortex generated by "Mr. Heller" of the [Deep Sect] to get rid of the pursuit of the [Thousand Changes] and came to the [Cold Sea].

There seems to be some similarity between the two.

Maybe the Federation built this huge ritual with reference to the teleportation spell of the [Deep Sect].

At the same time.

Xiaoxing's voice suddenly sounded in Xia En's heart.

[Captain...]

[I feel... itchy, so strange...]

Xia En frowned and looked at the reflection of the [Black Swan] on the sea.

With the activation of the teleportation array, the originally calm sea surface around was also rippled, and the reflection of the [Black Swan] was also a little fragmented.

It seems that it is because of this reason that the special space where the [Diamond Star] is located has been affected.

This kind of change was unexpected by Xia En.

He looked around and hesitated whether to project the [Diamond Star] into reality.

If the [Black Swan] is teleported away and the [Diamond Star] is still in this sea area, it will be embarrassing.

Xiao Xing seemed to notice Xia En's concerns and said again.

[No need to do that...]

[I... have a way...]

"Okay then."

Out of trust in Xiao Xing, Xia En had to do nothing for the time being.

At the same time.

The captains and crews of other ships in this sea area also noticed the abnormality of the situation.

"Huh? Why is the transmission so slow this time?"

"Yeah, it's usually just a blink of an eye, right?"

Many of the crew members present, although it was their first official transmission, had at least seen the previous batches of transmissions.

It was inevitable that they would feel strange about the current situation.

On the other side.

The secret pathers responsible for controlling the transmission array were already sweating profusely.

"Damn it!"

The white-bearded mage in the lead had a pale face: "Isn't the consumption of this transmission too great?"

The various materials in the energy storage pool were rapidly converted into secret power, and even the backup hidden energy that was urgently transported earlier was almost exhausted.

"Master, I can't stand it anymore!"

A formation master who was activating the formation had a pale face, which was a sign that his mental power and secret power were being drained.

"You have to hold on even if you can't!"

The white-bearded master gave a tough order: "The ritual is about to reach the last step!"

Of course, this master didn't just give orders, he also stood at the forefront to maintain the stability of the entire transmission array.

Finally, after a difficult period of persistence, the azure light on the sea surface shone brightly.

At this moment, something strange happened!

"Master, look!"

A scholar pointed to the sea surface not far away in surprise, and the white-bearded master looked in the direction of his finger.

At this time, the light on the sea surface was dimmed for some reason.

The sky was low and the waves were surging.

And on the azure magic circle like the ocean, the shadow of a huge monster had quietly emerged.

It was a huge ship that far surpassed all the ships in this sea area!

The towering ship's side was like a mountain that could not be seen at a glance, and the huge sails were automatically and loudly without wind.

There was no trace of damage on the deck and hull, as if it was a masterpiece.

The whole ship was filled with a smooth beauty that made people unable to take their eyes away.

But suddenly!

The side of the ship, the deck, the hull, the ropes, the cannons, the sails... everything on the ship was ablaze with blue flames.

The raging fire spread like water, and the flames even reflected the keel and cabin inside the hull.

Dangerous, strange, and powerful.

But it also has a thrilling beauty that makes people deeply fascinated.

It broke into people's vision rudely and unreasonably, and attracted the attention of everyone present.

"That is..."

The Whitebearded Master muttered in disbelief: "[Diamond Star]?"

"I actually saw this ship again in my lifetime?"

"No wonder the transmission ritual is so difficult to operate, this ship is not so lucky..."

When he was young, the master had been to the [Misty Sea] and survived because of the unintentional kindness of the [Diamond Star].

But he didn't expect to see this mysterious ghost ship again under such circumstances today.

"How did the [Diamond Star] appear here?"

"And looking at its appearance, it seems to be very different from before? What happened to it?"

In an instant, the master's heart aroused strong curiosity, and even wanted to forcefully take action to keep the [Diamond Star] to find out.

But in the end, he restrained himself and just looked at the "lost ship" with amazement.

Even the respected archmage was so surprised, not to mention the others present.

They will probably remember this moment forever.

Remember the day when the reborn [Diamond Star] first appeared on the Seven Seas.

"Where did that ship come from?"

Orlando was more surprised than ordinary people, and a little angry.

In front of the [Diamond Star] at this time, his [Dauntless Storm] seemed to have become a poor imitation, a clown used as a foil.

He even felt a little fear and uneasiness coming from deep in the hull.

That was the emotion that [Dauntless Storm] had towards [Diamond Star].

Not only that, Orlando also noticed that the shadow of this big ship happened to appear near [Black Swan].

Is there any connection between the two?

However, before everyone could think about it, the azure sea of ​​light submerged and enveloped them all.

When people opened their eyes again, they breathed in the cold and murderous air.

There were broken ice and icebergs floating on the sea not far away.

The sky was iron-gray, and a gust of sea breeze blew, bringing a cold breath.

At the same time.

The shadow of the previous [Diamond Star] also quietly disappeared.

Because all this happened too quickly, many people thought that the ghost ship was just an illusion.

Xia En was in a strange mood.

He didn't expect that the "method" mentioned by Xiaoxing would be so high-profile.

But just as the aftermath of the teleportation array gradually dissipated, a burst of shouting and killing suddenly sounded on the nearby sea.

Several ships sailed out from behind the iceberg and headed straight for the ships.

Someone on the leading ship shouted.

"The blood clan is doing business, and the outsiders should retreat!"
