Chapter 329: Counting the Spoils! Breaking the Ice and Moving Forward!

After the vampire side lost three sixth-level combatants.

The battle situation naturally fell into a one-sided situation.

Although the blood clan's warships are numerous in number, their artillery firepower is also quite fierce.

But for an unreasonable warship like the [Black Swan], numerical advantage is meaningless, and it is even difficult for artillery shells to hit it!

Coupled with the death of three of the strongest combatants, the morale of the Vampire Clan was already at an extremely low level.

During this period, Xia En also summoned the [Diamond Star] once, devastating two vampire warships.

So, it took less than ten minutes.

The blood clan warships that had been approaching menacingly before were completely demoralized and fled in all directions.

[Qingfeng] and [Hanyu] also joined the ranks of annihilating the defeated troops.

However, there are more than ten vampire warships after all, and it will take a lot of effort to make each warship incapacitated.

——Xia En can't deal with every ship and let the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] directly hit them with their hulls.

This attack method is easy to use, but it will also cause certain damage to the two ships and reduce their durability.

It's just not visible on the surface.

As a captain who loves Xiaoxing and Xiaohei, Shane will only do this when necessary.

Therefore, even though the speed of the [Black Swan] was far higher than that of its opponents, after successively incapacitating six or seven vampire warships, Xia En still lost the whereabouts of the other warships.

Counting carefully, there are about four or five warships that took advantage of the chaos to escape from this sea area, right?

But even so.

This record is already considered very terrifying.

In fact, except for Shane and the crew of the Black Swan, no one expected that this battle would end like this.

With the two frigates being of little use, the [Black Swan] faced off against more than a dozen warships headed by the [Dark Red Baron].

Not only did he kill three sixth-level Mystics including Richard, but he also sank several vampire warships including the [Dark Red Baron].

The captains who were still staying nearby were stunned by the results of this battle.

"[Black Swan]...actually won?"

"Obviously it's just a ship!"

Someone retorted: "No, didn't you see it just now? The shadow of the ghost ship appeared again!"

"Could it be said that it and the [Black Swan] are actually one?"

"This is too exaggerated..."

After seeing the final result, the captains of some ships suddenly had special thoughts.

Not only did it not leave, but it approached the direction of the [Black Swan].

They came to [Lenglie Sea] to solve the crisis of the world-destroying flood and gain more merits.

And it is conceivable that there will be quite a lot of dangers along the way.

Right now, Xia En and his [Black Swan] are showing extremely strong strength.

These captains naturally wanted to hug this thick thigh to increase their chance of survival in the next operation.

No matter which world you are in, as long as you show awesome strength and ability, people will naturally take the initiative to fawn over and cling to you.

In fact, the person these captains had previously chosen to fawn over was Orlando, who was sitting on the Dauntless Storm.

After witnessing this "unbelievable" naval battle, they silently left the "Dauntless Storm" and sailed towards the "Black Swan".

Seeing this scene, Orlando's face on the deck of the Fearless Storm was as gloomy as water.

But there was also a hint of deeply hidden fear in Orlando's eyes.

"Damn it! He actually survived?"

"That ship is so powerful..."

Orlando still has some self-awareness for the time being.

He knew that even he would only die when faced with the siege of the [Dark Red Baron] and numerous vampire warships.

——Otherwise, he wouldn't have left without any response even after being bombarded.

But at this time, Xia En forced his way out of a desperate situation.

This ability is enough to make Orlando feel strongly fearful.

Moreover, Orlando also knew that he had offended the other party in the previous contact.

Thinking of this, a hint of evil flashed in Orlando's eyes, and a dark thought emerged in his mind.

After such a fierce battle, the [Black Swan] was not intact.

There were signs of breakage on the front collision angle, and the side of the ship was also hit by a stray bullet. It didn't look like it was in peak condition.

If he takes action now, maybe he can solve this problem once and for all?

However, Orlando quickly thought of the large ship that suddenly appeared and disappeared like a ghost, and a sense of fear emerged in his heart for no reason.

It was obvious that the ship was no illusion!

It is a real thing and has some close connection with [Black Swan].

[Dauntless Storm] is not even sure of dealing with [Black Swan].

If we add that ghost ship, is there really any chance of winning?

After some thought, Orlando gritted his teeth unwillingly, but he still could only grit his teeth unwillingly.

"Let's go!"

…

…

at the same time.

Xia En also gave up chasing other vampire warships and began to clean the battlefield and count the loot.

This battle can be said to be the first battle between the [Black Swan] and the [Diamond Star] after their transformation.

The strength and number of the enemy are worthy of this "first battle."

Correspondingly, the report of this battle is also quite rich.

Apart from other things, the inventory in the space rings carried by the three sixth-level vampires is a huge sum of money.

At this time, Jane came to the deck and casually placed Lilith's head in front of Shane.

With only one head left, Lilith opened her eyes wide, full of fear, as if she saw some extremely terrible scene before she died.

"Ms. Jane, thank you for your hard work."

Shayne thanked Jane.

If Jane hadn't taken action, the situation might have really developed into what the vampires planned.

It can be said that Jane's arrival made up for the lack of high-end combat power on the [Black Swan], so that Shane would not fall to the point of being unable to do anything.

"It's just a little effort."

Jane smiled faintly and did not take credit for it.

"Besides, since I'm already a member of the Black Swan, this is what I should do."

Her words made the other crew members feel a lot of favor.

Originally, everyone didn't know much about this strange old woman, but after this battle, Jane's attitude undoubtedly showed that she would be everyone's companion.

It makes people naturally get close to her.

But when he heard this, Shane couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

A piece of cake?

It's as if a sixth-level strongman is a cabbage.

Don't think that Shane crushed Richard and the other two very easily, that was when his stats were far above the two and the power of the domain just happened to restrain them.

Even in the end, in order to kill the two, Shane had to use the bottom-of-the-box means of [Void Secret Power] and [Touch of the Deep].     It can be seen how difficult it is to kill the sixth-level vampires.

But judging from Jane's performance, killing Lilith seems to be just a trivial matter.

Not much more important than "What to eat tonight?" This kind of thing.

Shane couldn't help but be curious.

In a serious situation, how strong can Jane's combat power be?

There must be more than the sixth level, so... what about the legend?

But now, it is obviously not the time to delve into this issue.

There are still spoils and captives on several warships waiting for Shane to deal with.

Not long after.

With the joint efforts of Shane and the crew, the surplus value of these blood clan warships was squeezed out as much as possible.

First of all, Shane himself did not intend to leave any blood clan captives.

He originally wanted to kill them all.

But at this time, several captains nearby came forward and said they were willing to spend some gold dragon coins to receive these prisoners.

——Due to the characteristics of blood clan that are difficult to kill, they are often used in some particularly dangerous occasions.

After thinking about it, Shane chose to agree and only killed those blood clans with higher ranks.

After all, this is also a kind of waste utilization.

As for whether these captains will be attacked by blood clans, that is not a problem he should worry about.

As for the valuable materials and secret treasures on the blood clan warships, most of them were also looted by Shane.

Of course, due to the limited number of people and time, Shane's search was very sloppy and rough, and he only searched a few high-value cabins.

Among them, it is worth mentioning.

From the wreckage of the [Dark Red Baron], Shane found a special statue that looked like a heart.

It was placed in the deepest part of the cabin. When it was found, there were several cracks on the surface, but it was still beating weakly.

Obviously, this is probably the core of the [Dark Red Baron], and it is also the reason why this ship has extraordinary characteristics.

For ordinary captains, this should be considered a rare secret treasure.

But for Shane, who owns the two living ships [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star], it is not of much use.

Shane is going to wait for it to heal itself before considering whether to sell it.

In addition to the ordinary spoils of war, Shane also unexpectedly harvested a group of slaves.

——They were the survivors who served as "blood food" on several blood clan warships.

Some of them were crew members captured after being defeated by the blood clan, and some were purchased slaves.

After being rescued, these survivors were generally thin, afraid of light, extremely frightened, and had many marks of cuts and blood drawn all over their bodies.

It is conceivable what kind of miserable treatment they had suffered before.

Seeing these people, the little bit of guilt that Shane had for killing the vampires disappeared completely.

For this batch of slaves, Shane planned to select a group of people with good qualifications and good character from them and send them to the [Rhine Secret Realm] for the construction of [Rhine City].

The rest will be handed over to Daisy and her brother and other captains.

Shane's choice was quite rational.

After all, although he was sympathetic, he was not a philanthropist.

In future naval battles, he would definitely accept a large number of prisoners of war and slaves, and it was impossible to send all of them to the [Rhine Secret Realm] every time.

Otherwise, wouldn't the [Rhine Secret Realm] be in chaos?

Trying to absorb high-quality talents and controlling the proportion of slave population in the [Rhine Secret Realm] is the correct path for the healthy development of [Rhine City].

After collecting the spoils, Xia En roughly counted them and couldn't help but secretly click his tongue.

The income from this naval battle almost caught up with one-third of his transaction amount in [Liuli Island].

No wonder they say killing and arson can get you a golden belt!

Plunder is always the fastest way to make money.

In fact, the most valuable spoils of this naval battle are actually those blood clan warships.

Unfortunately, in the previous battle, Shane fired too hard to destroy their mobility, causing several ships to inevitably sink.

On the other hand.

In an environment like the [Cold Sea], Shane could not take these ships to an island where they could be sold.

So Shane had no choice but to give them up.

After doing all this, Shane no longer stayed where he was, but headed towards the sea further north.

As for the captains who tried to go with him, Shane rejected them mercilessly.

It's a very simple truth.

Since these people were unwilling to fight side by side with the [Black Swan] before, why should Shane provide them with unconditional shelter?

Seeing this, Daisy and her brother were even more fortunate that they had made the right choice before.

...

...

Soon, two days passed.

Everyone on the [Black Swan] could clearly feel that the air around them began to cool down significantly.

Not only that, the number of floating ice on the sea surface has also begun to increase.

When entering this sea area, you need to be careful of the icebergs hidden under the sea surface.

If you accidentally hit it, the [Black Swan] will probably be fine, but the [Light Wind] and [Cold Rain] are not so lucky.

"Captain, why does it feel that the [Cold Sea] is much colder than before?"

On the deck, Joey, who was wearing a white fox fur, had a red face and exhaled a burst of white air from his mouth, and couldn't help saying.

"The secret power in the nearby sea water is the same, it has become cold."

As a sea monster who has mastered a certain authority of the goddess of storms, Joey can sense the "atmosphere" or "emotion" of this sea area just by being on the sea.

So, she made such a judgment.

"Is it getting colder?"

Xia En calmed down and sensed for a moment, and felt that Joey's judgment was correct.

Although they chose to sail directly to the warm south after being accidentally teleported to the [Cold Sea] last time.

But at this time, the temperature of this sea area was already colder than the coldest area at that time.

Rather than the reason of changing seasons.

Shane would rather believe that this was because some unknown changes had occurred in the Far North, or even in this [Cold Sea].

Fortunately, Shane had already prepared for the extremely cold weather.

At this time, a large number of steam pipes had been laid in the cabin, behind the walls and ceilings of the [Black Swan].

Just like the heaters on Earth in the previous life, it provided heating for the entire ship.

However, standing on the deck, it would still be a bit cold to blow the sea breeze.

During these two days, Shane took a comprehensive inventory of the space rings of Richard and the other two.

In addition to the materials and secrets exclusive to the blood clan, Shane also accidentally found a secret letter.

A secret letter related to the Far North.
