Under Noah''s gentle pressure, Lorraine felt that she had entered a peaceful harbor.

    Half asleep and half awake, he suddenly heard that the cabin door was knocked.

    Dong Dong Dong!

    Noah jumped away with a miso like a frightened white ear. Lorraine suddenly lost her support and waved her hand and smashed it into the thick woven carpet. Although it didn''t hurt, she was scared.

    He grinned, got up, smiled at Noah apologetically, opened the hatch and saw Pierce.

    "What''s the matter?"

    "Brother, there is a large fog area at ten o''clock, about fifteen kilometers away. We may pass through from the side."

    "Fog area?"

    A very strange word, Lorraine could not help frowning at the sky.

    The weather is very good. The big waves on the sea are caused by the trade wind and have nothing to do with the rainstorm and thunder. How can this situation encounter the fog area

    "Let Haina go around, this time..."

    "Captain!"

    Before Lorraine''s order was finished, Karen ran over in a panic, and his white ears were lying on his head.

    "Captain, the bilge began to leak! We injected water for too long, and the glue of the sealing plate began to fall off, which is almost impossible to save!"

    "Bilge leaking?" Lorraine''s face changed greatly. "One, or..."

    "Three!"

    The butterfly has six watertight compartments on each side, plus the bow and stern, a total of 14.

    Four previous water injections have reached the limit of the ship''s water pressure. If there are three more... No! It''s four!

    The ship will sink!

    Lorraine took a deep breath, so easy to empty his mind turned rapidly again.

    Shipwreck is the worst possibility, but the cabin itself is not damaged, and there are enough sailors on board to drain water, so the possibility of direct shipwreck is very small.

    But the three cabins began to fill with water, which would certainly further slow down the speed of the butterfly flower. Before long, the reindeer would catch up. In the vast sea, they had no chance to escape!

    The only way to live

    Lorraine gritted his teeth: "I''ll take the helm, Karen sails, pierce and Noah command the sailors to drain, and let Haina go to the lookout immediately... And acharin, call him up!"

    "Captain, are you going to..."

    "We... Into the fog area!"

    Into the fog!

    Fifteen kilometers away, it only takes one hour at the current speed of the butterfly. Even if the speed loss caused by wind cutting and water leakage is included, the whole process will not exceed one and a half hours.

    Lorraine boarded the rudder under the crowd and took the handwheel from Haina.

    The two men looked at each other, pursed their mouths and nodded solemnly to each other.

    "Full left rudder, half sail, cut the wind!" Lorraine shouted to the sailors on the deck, "butterfly, target, fog area!"

    ……

    As soon as it chased and fled, the speed of the butterfly flower was gradually decreasing. The reindeer circled from behind to the side and was chasing fiercely at the right rear of Lorraine.

    This is the news reported by Haina on the lookout.

    From the Reindeer''s response, it was clear that villen also found the existence of the fog area, and saw through Lorraine''s attempt.

    Lucky or unfortunate

    The fog area is not at twelve o''clock, but at ten o''clock.

    With a cutting angle of nearly 30 degrees, the caribou with full cross sail can''t cut the wind as skillfully as the butterfly. After losing the huge longitudinal sail at the stern, all she can do is break the line continuously to maintain the pursuit speed in this way.

    This undoubtedly greatly increased the distance of the reindeer, and barely maintained the balance of speed between the two sides when the enemy was fast and we were slow.

    The deck of the butterfly was in a mess.

    The wind is high, the waves are fierce, and in an unstable wind cutting environment, the sailors stand in long rows on the deck, and everyone is tied with a cable to fix their body around their waist.

    They brought buckets of water up from the bilge, poured them into the sea, and passed them back. They began to circle again and again.

    Grab time, grab speed, grab load and grab wind!

    Everything needs to be robbed with your own hands. Every small advantage is used to offset your more and more obvious disadvantages!

    See the fog area!

    While seeing the fog area, there was a sudden exclamation on the deck: "destroyer!"

    The huge body of the reindeer suddenly jumped out of the sea level, smashed the waves with a roar, and rushed straight to the side of the butterfly from two kilometers away!

    "Acharin! Blow her sail!"

    Lorraine roared and suddenly filled the rudder. Acharin obtained the elevation angle. The long-standing six pound gun was fired at the same time as the bow gun of the reindeer!

    Boom, boom!

    Huge water splashes rose into the sky and bloomed on both sides of the ships on both sides. The salty sea water poured on Lorraine''s face. Lorraine wiped his face and pulled the bow back to the route.

    "1.7 from the fog area, 1.3 from the reindeer, Lorraine, she will stop us!" Haina shouted on the lookout platform.

    "She can''t stop!" Lorraine''s face was ferocious. "Full sail, turn to! Acharin, go to the stern gun!"

    Karen ran to the sail himself, and acharin climbed into the stern cabin. The cross sail rose again. Lorraine cut the wind and pulled the bow back to the wind. The whole ship suddenly ran and became front and rear with the reindeer again.

    The distance between the two sides is less than one kilometer. In the vast sea, this distance is almost the same as rear end collision!

    The Reindeer''s bow gun roared again. One of them hit the hull and ploughed out debris.

    The butterfly was on the wave, the bow was high, and then it fell!

    "Acharin!"

    "Sophie labred, bless me!"

    Boom!

    There was only a sound of gun at the stern of the high cocked ship. Acharin fired a chain bullet, abandoned the gun and lay down in the porthole.

    The round iron bullet drew a high arc and opened in the air. An iron chain and two hemispheres flew to the top of the reindeer like stretched dumbbells and hung on the dense sail lines in the bow.

    It spun round and round on the sail rope, and the red chain burned two ropes in a single day.

    Collapse! Collapse!

    Acharin knew it was his illusion, but he heard such a play and sing.

    The caribou''s bow inclined sail fell down, and the huge upper cross sail was relieved in an instant and collapsed into a half sail.

    “Vivela！”

    In the cheering of acharin, the reindeer suddenly slowed down like stepping on the brake. Before adjusting the ship''s body, the broken butterfly returned to the wind cutting line, swayed, plunged into the thick fog entrenched on the sea like a monster, and disappeared in the twinkling of an eye.

    Villen stared at the disappearing ship.

    "I... failed?"

    The navigator reminded him in panic: "Captain, this position is right at the three fulcrum of the equilateral triangle with Ireland and Iceland. According to the ancient navigator legend..."

    "I''ve heard that legend." villen coldly interrupted the navigator. "The Viscount gave the" sailor''s mirror "as a gift to every commander of the chamber of Commerce. Although it''s an ancient chart of little value, I''ve had the honor to read it."

    "Since you know..."

    "Are you afraid?" villen stared at the pilot, his eyes full of ferocity. "It''s just a strange fog area and reef. The barbaric English pirates dare to enter, but we... The glorious French gentleman will be grabbed by the fear of the ancients?"

    The pilot swallowed his saliva with difficulty: "governor, whenever there is an order..."

    "Go home."

    "Ah?"

    "Order, return." villen brushed the front of his bloody windbreaker. "As far as I know, in recent 100 years, there have been no less than five adventurers trying to explore Heba fog Island, but small boats can''t get in and big ships can''t get out. This time, the stupid English Pirates rushed into the fog area with brigantine, which is like death."

    He sneered: "our time is honored and precious. Cantabrian''s prey is far more valuable than these dead people."
