Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 407 Pirates
"All these demands will be met, your sacrifices will be rewarded, and Indoport will soon become what you wish it to be!"

Vinata's voice was amplified by special speakers and echoed in the sky above the square, like the sound of an empty valley, lingering for a long time.

The crowd below the stage fell into a brief silence at first, and then some people began to cheer. Later, the deafening cheers came like a tide, one wave higher than the other, drowning out the rolling sound of the tide coming from the dock, the sound of the continuous rain in the sky, and even the sound of spring thunder.

Countless worn-out hats were thrown into the sky. In the eyes of the Feysac residents in the square, this ordinary day was happier than any other festival.

"Okay, everyone, let's go home quickly and take this good news back. Don't get wet in the rain!"

Vinata nodded with satisfaction and appealed to the cheering crowd.

As if to suit the occasion, rumbling sounds of artillery were heard from the direction of the dock, as if the fleet there was firing a salute in celebration.

The crowd who heard the sound became even more excited. They dispersed in joy, ready to spread the news to every corner of the city.

However, Vinata's face on the podium turned pale because of the sudden sound of artillery fire.

She remembered clearly that neither she nor Azik had made any plans to celebrate with salutes, nor did they inform the fleet at the dock of what they were going to do today!

"It's an enemy attack, this is not a salute, evacuate quickly!"

Vinata shouted at the crowd and the guards in the square almost at the top of her lungs, "Someone is bombarding us at sea. Quickly get the fleet to set sail and fight back!"

As if to echo what she said, a shrill attack alarm sounded from the direction of the dock. At the same time, dozens of dust columns rose in every corner of the city, and cries and noises were carried into Vinata's ears by the sea breeze.

The crowd in the square was in an uproar. Fortunately, Vinata brought enough guards to deal with emergencies, and they had all been working on evacuating the people according to her instructions.

Vinata quickly looked around. The shells landed in scattered places and did not cause many casualties. They only damaged some buildings that were rarely inhabited.

However, Venata's mood did not improve because she knew exactly what was going to happen next.

"What we just did was just a test shot to calibrate the trajectory. The second round of shooting is coming soon. Everyone, find cover!"

Venata, who had served in the army before, knew clearly that the old naval guns needed a test fire to calibrate the trajectory before firing, and the interval was about 20 seconds. However, it was impossible to completely evacuate the thousands of people in the square in such a short time, so they could only lie down temporarily to reduce the impact.

At the same time, Vinata quickly jumped off the platform, and turned into a blazing white flame amid the exclamations of the crowd. She drew an "L" shape in the air and flew to a two-story building facing the pier.

After a short wait, the sound of artillery fire rang out again. Vinata, who occupied the commanding heights, could already vaguely see the flames from the naval gun fire in the distance above the sea level.

Then, she saw the trajectory of the shells, and her spiritual intuition told her that this attack was aimed at the crowded square. The enemy obviously did not have the patience to confirm whether the people gathered here were ordinary people, or rather, they did not care whether they were ordinary people or not, and launched an artillery attack here without hesitation after a test firing.

However, this level of bombardment was not unstoppable in the eyes of the Hunter Path Extraordinaries who were good at naval warfare, especially when the enemy concentrated their bombardment on one location.

Countless gorgeous firebirds appeared around Vinata. They circled around her for half a circle, then accelerated to the highest speed and shot towards the incoming shells like arrows, detonating them in the air.

However, the number of shells fired this time was too great. Even though Vinata had now been promoted to Sequence Six, she was unable to intercept all of the shells. Some shells still passed through the firebirds and exploded at the edge of the square.

Vinata was able to control fire to the extent of intercepting artillery shells when she was at Sequence 7, but the number of artillery shells to be intercepted was not large at that time, and the firing rate was obviously not as good as this time. Obviously, the attackers were different from the fleet put together during the sailors' mutiny on the Basque ship before, and were real warships!
As if to echo Vinata's conjecture, a huge sailing ship appeared on the sea level in the distance.

The sailboat is nearly two hundred meters long, with its front and back raised high, and the whole thing looks like a crescent moon.

Its surface is painted black; the cannons on the side of the ship are arranged in three rows, in order; the part protruding from the deck, except for the mast, is also tall and huge, at least equivalent to a five-story house.

The strangest thing about the ship is that it has only one sail, on which is depicted a black tombstone.

This is a living sailing ship, the flagship of the "Immortal King" Agaritu, the "Death Announcement"!
Behind the Death Notice was Vice Admiral Shadow's flagship, the crescent-shaped pirate ship "Truth" with a black vertical eye flag, and then a dense sea of ​​black sails, which stretched into a continuous piece, comparable to the dark clouds in the sky.

"Golden Hind", "Happy Birth", "Speaker", "Bachelor's Carnival"... Each pirate ship is well-known in its own sea area and belongs to the pirate gang second only to the Four Kings and Seven Generals; and their captains, "Sea Devil" Drake, "Gunpowder Twins" John and George, "Conductor" Henry Fuller, are all vicious criminals with a bounty of more than 3,000 pounds.

The combination of these pirates is enough to conquer a small country in the southern continent. When united, they can even challenge the Indo Port Navy when the Church of the God of War is stationed there.

Azik quickly landed beside Venata, his face gloomy.

Even if he only used his Sequence 7 strength, it would be easy for the Son of Death to fly short distances relying on the spirit he controlled.

Just now, he hesitated for a moment whether to intervene in the attack of the cannonballs, but he hesitated when he thought that the Undead King had not yet completely entered his attack range. After all, if he did not take the initiative to attack, it would be almost impossible for a Sequence 4 Devil to detect his malicious intent based solely on his premonition of danger.

Here, he cannot use the mythical creature form to fight, and his strength is only slightly stronger than the strongest Sequence Three. If he is careless, it will be easy for Agaritu to escape.

However, at the moment he hesitated, the shells fell around the square. Although there was no direct hit, several unlucky ordinary people were injured by the shock wave and fragments of the shells and died on the ground.
