Chapter 557 Alger and the Sea
On the vast ocean, a ghost ship was sailing at high speed. In the captain's room, Captain Alger Wilson was frowning and looking at the sea map in front of him.
The last time the Storm Church forced him to attend the founding ceremony of the Pirate Kingdom, he couldn't spend a peaceful year on the shore.
Not long after the New Year, he was given another important task, organizing a pirate group to plunder together and cut off the sea transportation line from the southern continent to the Feynetport Kingdom.
This is to let him participate in the war between the North and the South.
In order to support the battle situation of the Feynetport Kingdom, the Storm Church also sent its own personnel to cooperate with the navy of Desi County to block the transport fleet of the southern continent near the coast of the Feynetport Kingdom.
It can be said that it fully uses its power on the sea to support the Feynetport Kingdom as much as possible.
"It's a bit difficult."
Alger frowned and stared at the sea area of Hakata Port.
According to the new task given to him by the Storm Church, he needs to wait for the right time near Hakata Port and then plunder the material transport fleet from the southern continent.
At this moment, his Blue Avenger was only two days away from Hakata Port.
To be on the safe side, he invited two other pirate groups to join the robbery as the captain of the Blue Avenger.
Two days later, Alger led his fleet to Hakata Port. What surprised him was that there were more than a dozen pirate groups of different sizes gathered in this small port.
After a little intelligence in the tavern, he knew that they were also here to rob the transport fleet of the Southern Continent.
This should be the pirate group that the Storm Church usually supports and remotely controls. This time, they really spent a lot of money... Alger drank the slightly bitter buckwheat wine silently.
After waiting for about five days, the pirates responsible for the front line found that nearly 20 fleets from the Southern Continent were pretending to be merchant ships and were about to pass through the nearby waters.
As soon as this news was passed back to Hakata Port, all the pirate groups waiting here immediately became excited, and they all took their crews and drove the well-maintained pirate ships to intercept.
Seeing this, Alger was not in a hurry, but deliberately lagged behind the main force for a distance, letting them test the water first.
He didn't want to be the first person to try it, even though he might eat a mouthful of oil, but there was also a high probability of choking to death.
The pirates acted very quickly. More than a dozen pirate groups drove nearly a hundred pirate ships of different shapes to surround the fleet from the South Continent.
They ignored the South Continent fleet's attempt to bribe for passage and directly opened fire to rob.
Facing the fierce pirates, the twenty ships carrying cargo from the South Continent were no match at all.
Just when it was dangerous, there were high-sequence extraordinary people in the South Continent fleet who stood up to turn the tide.
Alger saw from afar that the sea area where the battle was going on ahead was suddenly shrouded in a cold black fog. The black fog was wriggling like a black viscous liquid. Ghosts that only appeared in the middle of the night crawled out of the black fog and began to frantically attack nearby pirate ships.
Whenever a pirate died at the hands of a ghost, a new ghost crawled out of the pirate's body.
The ghosts that were difficult to eliminate soon helped the fleet of the southern continent to reverse their decline and gradually gain the upper hand.
At this time, a surging wind blew, lifting the creeping black fog and blowing the ghost's body into pieces.
Then a huge wave rose on the calm sea, which was ten feet high and hit fiercely. The extraordinary person who could manipulate the power of the sea in this way could only be a member of the Storm Church.
Someone deliberately hid his identity in the pirate group to ensure that this action was foolproof.
The high-sequence extraordinary people on both sides began to fight desperately. In order not to be affected, Alger first let his pirate group retreat ten nautical miles, and then he took action after the battle in front was over.
In the end, the extraordinary people of the Storm Church won, because Alger saw through the telescope that the surviving pirates were cheering excitedly.
With the result, Alger also drove the Blue Revenge to share a piece of the pie. When he met some small pirate groups that returned with a full load, he didn't mind robbing the pirates. Anyway, in this sea, only the survivors can speak.
A few days later, the news of the South Continent transport fleet being robbed by pirates spread, and the Star Sea Kingdom issued a notice that any pirate group that joined the Star Sea Kingdom was not allowed to participate in the Civil War.
But on the sea, the newly emerged Star Sea Kingdom's control over the pirates was not as good as the Storm Church, especially those small and medium-sized pirate groups.
But after a few days, many Avengers from the South Continent appeared on the sea. They hunted pirates everywhere on the sea with extremely cruel means.
Then the young man who was once called the King of the Sea reappeared on the sea and led a fleet to target the Storm Church.
All this made the already chaotic sea even more terrifying.
Alger wanted to drive the Blue Revenge to the shore quickly, return to the land, and avoid this sea dispute.
But the development of the situation was far beyond his imagination, and even the Storm Church could not have expected it.
Pirate groups continued to stand up and accuse the Storm Church of doing a series of evil things by remotely controlling the major pirate groups in recent years.
Originally, these accusations were just trivial matters to the Storm Church, and they didn't even bother to respond. However, the young pirate king seemed to have a different extraordinary ability. He actually made a list of pirate groups controlled by the Storm Church.
And the list was accurately delivered to every pirate captain overnight.
Alger and his Blue Revenge were also on the list, which clearly stated that he was a believer of the Lord of Storms, and even wrote down what position he held in the Church of Storms.
This frightened Alger so much that cold sweat ran down his back, and he hurriedly drove the Blue Revenge back to land. He knew that the sea was about to set off a bloody frenzy!
Compared to the fact that the Church of Storms remotely controlled the pirate group, the pirates hated those brothers who usually scolded the Church of Storms with them, but they turned out to be devout believers of the Lord of Storms!
The shame of such betrayal can only be washed away by blood!
At this time, the Star Sea Kingdom also stood up and pointed the spearhead at the Church of Storms, and ordered the hunting of these pirate groups controlled by the Church of Storms.
For a time, the whole sea was boiling again, and all the pirate groups that appeared on the list became the targets of the major pirate groups!
Alger ran faster, and when the sea was the most chaotic, he hurriedly landed from a port in Desi County, Loen Kingdom.
At the port, the Blue Revenge had only appeared for an hour when many pirates came to hunt him down.
Fortunately, he rarely showed his true strength on weekdays, and relied on his extraordinary strength far superior to that of ordinary pirates to easily solve the trouble.
But he did not dare to stay any longer, and left the port overnight and took the steam train back to Backlund.
It was not until he was about to arrive in Backlund that he received the retreat order from the Storm Church.
Alger's mouth twitched, and finally suppressed the uncomfortable mood in his heart.
After returning to Backlund, he hurried to the Holy Wind Church to report.
He was not punished for his early evacuation. On the contrary, because of the incident in Bodo Port and his previous merits, he officially became a bishop of the Storm Church.
If it were before, Alger might still be very happy, after all, this was the position he had always pursued, but now he felt deeply afraid of this promotion.
The Storm Church probably suffered heavy losses in manpower, so it valued him so much.
Sure enough, two days later, Alger was rewarded by the Storm Church and appointed as the cardinal of the Pasu Island area.
Alger felt his scalp tingling. Pasu Island is an island located in front of the Storm Abyss. It is the outpost of the Storm Church headquarters.
If the situation in the sea gradually deteriorates, Pasu Island will be a strategic place for the pirates to attack the Storm Church headquarters!
Isn't it obvious that they want him to go to Pasu Island as cannon fodder?
Alger responded with ecstasy on the surface, but he was thinking about the appropriate escape plan in his heart.
He must not go to Pasu Island, otherwise he would not even know how he died in the future.
"Don't worry about the journey. The former Archbishop of Backlund, the God Singer Snake, will return to the Storm Abyss with you this time."
The kind and caring voice made Alger only try to force a smile.
This God Singer Snake is at least a powerful extraordinary person of Sequence 4. This time he was transferred back from Backlund, which shows that the Storm Church headquarters has begun to prepare for possible bad situations in the future.
With his current strength, it is difficult to slip away from the eyes of a high-sequence strongman.
And he has no intention of leaving the Storm Church at present.
Alger was depressed, but he still raised his head and looked at the singer of God who was walking towards him with the expectation of a pilgrimage.
He wore a black soft hat and a black robe embroidered with storm symbols. He was an old man with extremely serious silver eyes.
Alger had heard rumors about this singer of God. He was often late at critical moments, causing things to become uncontrollable tragedies.
Perhaps he could use this to get himself out of it, so as not to go to Pasu Island and be dragged into the war.
