It was late at night, and the entire sea and the sky were dark. Although torches were lit on the boat, they could only illuminate the slightest sea surface in front of them. The surroundings were very quiet, with only the sea breeze whizzing, with the fishy smell of fish in it. Occasionally, a ripple appeared, which cut the moonlight into countless tiny pieces.

Everything seemed so normal, making Black Balance's tense heart stretched a little.

"The White Bow asked me to come to the deck right away, and my tone was very serious. I thought there were pirate ships or enemy fleets." He walked to the Count of Ile de France with a relaxed pace. "Where is the trouble? Have you discovered the reefs? The princess of Navarra is waiting for you in the room. Just leave the sea affairs to professional sailors."

The Count of Ile de France tilted his head slightly, and the serious expression on his face made Hei Tianping realize something was wrong.

"Look at that." Hong Dao pointed to the distance. The black ball was looking in the direction he pointed, but it was still dark and there was nothing to see.

"What the hell happened?" he asked, pressing his voice, "It can't be the Baslik sea snake group, right? That thing is only available near the North Sea, we are in the Atlantic Ocean now!"

Hongdao shook his head and said nothing. But he saw the white bow coming up from behind. He held the bow with one hand and the arrow with the other, aiming at the darkness in the depths of the sea from afar. As he recited the spell, a charming white light flashed on the fifteen-centimeter-long Mitsubishi arrow.

With a "brush", the sharp arrow came out. It dragged the white light and drew a shining arc in the air.

At the end illuminated by white light, the black balance saw a huge island. Rolling smoke rose from the island, and a shocking black cloud that was taller and heavier than the castle was stacked in the sky.

As the white light gradually faded away, the islands and black clouds were once again shrouded in the night.

"What is that?" Black Flat Ping didn't know why, "The island on fire? But I didn't see the fire, which means the fire has been finished?"

The Count of Ile-de-France shook his head.

"White bow, shoot another arrow." He said, "Black balance, pay attention to the speed of the ship."

The white bow nodded, and soon, another arrow dragging white light flew towards the island. So Black Balance noticed that their ships were approaching the island at a rapid speed.

"I have calculated that this island is less than a nautical mile away from us." said the Earl of Ile-de-France. "From what you just saw, how many knots do you estimate our ship's speed is now?"

"What a fast ship speed, it's probably fifteen, no, maybe twenty knots. Wait, damn it-twenty knots?"

He looked at the Count of Ile de France in horror. Everyone knew what he was going to say. The ordinary hull they were riding in was generally only about eight knots. The Pirate Kingdom created a long ship that could drive eleven knots, and thus dominated the ocean. But the speed of the ship he had just estimated was nearly twice as fast as the long ship of the Pirate Kingdom!

The Count of Ile-de-France nodded:

"You know, this is absolutely impossible. So there is only one possibility - that island is moving, and is rushing towards us at a speed of more than ten knots."

"I'll take a look at what's going on right away!" Hei Tianping raised the guy up in a panic, "The balance has reacted. This island is indeed a creature! Oh my God, I thought this kind of thing could only be read in epics!"

"We know if you don't tell me this kind of thing!" Hongdao turned around and shouted, "The speed of twenty knots is only less than three minutes after a mile! We only have three minutes left, so let's say something useful! What is this thing? How to fight?

"I, I'm still watching!"

Black balance took out the weight with his trembling hands. Fortunately, the balance did not tilt because of the trembling, otherwise he would not be able to measure anything after using it in three minutes.

He first tentatively threw a small silver weight into the balance, but the balance did not move at all, and added a medium silver weight to the upper side, but the balance was still unmoved. He swallowed and threw a large silver weight on it, but the sensitive balance seemed to have been welded to death today, and still tilted unswervingly towards the left side of the void.

He took a few deep breaths and replaced the silver weight with a small gold weight. Only then did the balance react slightly. He continued to add the small gold weight until the balance returned to balance.

"Nine small gold weights!" he shouted, "It's gold weights! Nine!"

The red sword, the white bow, and the Count of Ile de France all trembled with the naked eye.

Hongdao wanted to laugh as if nothing had happened, but after working hard for a long time, he couldn't laugh: "This is really a monster that can only be seen in epics. How long has it been since humans seen this kind of thing? Eight hundred years? One thousand years?"

"A monster of natural disaster." Baigong rubbed a handful of sweat that oozed out. "If this thing was put over, the coast of the Federation would be hit by a devastating blow."

"Don't stand stupidly." The Count of Ile-de-France has begun to deploy. "Black Balance, check what this monster is and whether it has any weaknesses; White Bow, you take Princess Navarra to the cabin a little behind, and then return immediately; Red Knife, you go and scream those who have not yet woken up!"

"Tell me the order! All sailors will arrive at the post immediately, use the sails together, avoid the front and circle the island!"

"Tell me the order! Prepare bows, braziers, tinder oil, sulfur, and use rockets to conduct long-range strikes!"

"Tell me the order! Everyone is dispersed and fights, and don't get close together! Avoid being beaten up in one go!"

"Tell me the order! Everyone takes off their armor so that they won't be able to float after falling into the water!"

...

One command after another, and the deck soon became busy. Everyone was running, only the black balance stood still. He leaned on his forehead, lowered his head, and used the spell to seek supreme wisdom from Hermes. While he was chanting the spell, another more powerful chanting sounded on the deck:

“Karolus serenissimus Augustus a Deo coronatus magnus pacificus imperator Romanum gubernans imperium (Karolus Calorin, the most pious and sincere Augustus, the great emperor crowned by God)!”

The Ile-de-France cuts its palms coldly with a knife and spreads the blood evenly on the nearby sea surface.

"Consul! Everyone has reached the combat position!"

"Consul, Princess Navarra has been transferred to the safest cabin!"

"Consul, that island is less than one tenth of our nautical mile away! We can't get around!"

From a close distance, the monster is even larger, with its edge extending to the limit that the eyes can see, so that it is impossible to tell whether it is an island or a continent.

"I know what this is."

The black balance suddenly raised his head, as if he woke up from a nightmare.
