The appearance of the bed crossbow had already made these guys like frightened birds, frantically holding the oars and doing useless work, but even if they took up arms to resist, the end would not be different.

They were full of gaps, and at first glance they knew that they had picked up something from the garbage heap, and when they faced the sailors on the Black Ogre, and when they faced the half-body leather armor produced in the Jutland leather armor factory, they could already be described as powerless.

However, even if the morale is low and there is an insurmountable gap in equipment, those sailors are still struggling to resist, they are not recruits who have experienced battle for the first time, nor are they rookies who have not seen blood and death, in order to survive, no matter how unbearable things they will do, just like the deceitful surrender that tarnished the honor of the warrior and will be spurned by the gods.

When the sailors of the Black Ogre crossed the distance between the two ships through the rope and came to the deck, the sailors on this ship also adjusted their mentality, took their weapons, and pounced with a scream, even if they died, they would pull off their backs, and try their best to resist.

The battle was not fierce at all on the ship, and in less than thirty minutes the sailors on it were defeated, the corpses and severed arms were scattered on the deck, and several prisoners were tied up with ropes and knelt down with pale faces.

These were the lucky ones who were unconscious in battle, and because of their coma, they were able to survive the ogre Gugar's nirvana, as slaves on the same level as gold coins.

After the battle, the sailors did not rush to plunder the wealth of the ship or to loot the loot from the corpses, but gathered together and bandaged the wounded companions around them, a rule set by the captain of the ogre Gugar, and as for those who did not obey, they had already fed the sharks and sea beasts in the sea that had been thrown down on the previous voyage.

Treating the wounds as soon as possible is on the one hand to reduce the casualties of the sailors, and on the other hand, it is also possible to unite the entire ship into a force through such a small matter, which is convenient for Gugar's control.

Luckily, none of the sailors aboard the Black Ogre died in this battle of great disparity, and the worst one was only a knife that pierced the leather armor and cut the skin.

It was the most powerful captain on the ship, a typical Scandinavian in appearance, and when his men were slaughtered and he was under siege, he managed to activate the power contained in his blood and successfully carried out the madness, but only allowed him to pierce the enemy's leather armor with a knife used to cut fruit.

Along the plank between the two ships, the ogre approached, and he stood on the dirty, black-spotted deck, wiped his bloody hands with a square towel, and commanded the sailors around him.

He didn't join the battle just now, but observed the battle of his men equipped with new equipment on the Black Ogre, but the enemy who was not willing to be defeated rushed over and targeted him, expecting to complete the decapitation tactic and turn the tide of the battle.

Obviously, this was a stupid decision, and in a one-on-one battle, the ogre race had an overwhelming advantage over humans in general, especially this one who was not an ordinary ogre.

"Be careful, don't throw the corpse into the sea, and watch out for the blood on the deck. ”

Throwing the corpse into the sea is indeed the fastest way to deal with it, but the smell of blood emitted by the corpse will attract the predation of the sea beasts, and if the sea beasts are in a good mood, they will not mind spending some effort to overturn the ship and have a small dessert after dinner, which is a matter of stretching for the big guys.

Even if they are now in the territory of the Baltic Sea, from the perspective of the camp, the sea beasts below are all the way with them, but Gugal is not sure that those sea beasts with low intelligence will lose their rationality under the stimulation of the smell of blood, after all, sharks fight each other for food, and he has not only seen once or twice after sailing on the sea for a long time.

"Check it out, see what good treasures our prey has, and see what the guy who has thrown away even the food will hide in the boat. ”

The ogre commanded the two sailors who were following him.

These two sailors would normally not participate in broadside battles, they were the ship's loot hunters, and they were able to easily find the hidden compartment in the various ornaments, and open it without damaging the contents.

That's right, these two guys were the most famous thieves in a certain harbor before they got on the ship, and because they had itchy hands and touched things they shouldn't touch, they had to dispose of what they couldn't take with them, and fled to the ogre's ship, working as sailors and part-time thieves, hoping that the ogre would shelter them.

"Captain, it's all food, and this little thing. ”

Soon, the two thieves came out of the cabin, holding a cloth bag in their hands, and as they walked, they made a pleasant sound of gold coins colliding with each other, and their faces were not very good-looking.

That little bit of gold might have allowed an average family of five to live in peace for half a year, but for sailors who were accustomed to spending lavishly, it was only enough time for them to stay at the table for an hour or two.

The warehouses are loaded with food and other things, although these things are the most precious things in the sea and are essential necessities for survival, but as goods, there is still a certain gap in value compared to the equipment and daily necessities contained on the Black Ogre.

It's valuable, but it's not as valuable as they imagined, and that's where they get depressed.

"Have you looked for everything?

This is this little gain, the ogre Gugar will undoubtedly not be satisfied, he wasted half a day, and deviated from the course, only a small bag of gold coins of the proceeds, and he will be laughed at by others when he says it.

"I've searched it all, that's it. ”

Seeing the impatience on the ogre's face, the two thieves glanced at each other, and both saw the fear in their companion's eyes, if the ogre suspected that the two of them were hiding all the good things, it was not something that could be solved by simple justification.

"Captain, that's really all we have, we don't have anything to hide. ”

As he spoke, the two of them began to undress in public, and the ogre on the other side did not stop them, and also bent down to check their clothes to see if there was really something hidden inside.

It is normal for such a situation at sea, the relationship between the captain and the sailor is not static, if a captain does not have strong strength, there is no way to bring satisfactory benefits to the sailors, there is no way to suppress all the contradictions, then maybe one night, the greedy sailors will spontaneously change the captain of the ship, after all, the people who sail on the sea and survive, but they are all villains and scum, catch ten and kill ten, there will definitely be no wrong.

"What about nautical charts? None of them?"

There may not be gold coins or other treasures among the precious things on a ship, but there must be a nautical chart that records the places where the ship has sailed, and which can give people an idea of where there are dangers and where they can bring great benefits.

"Yes, yes, in the captain's room, Haqiu. ”

In the cool autumn breeze, the thief couldn't help but let out a loud sneeze, and two transparent snots hung on his face, making him look particularly embarrassed.

Ignoring the two guys who seemed to have a cold, the ogre walked straight into the captain's room, perhaps because the captain of the ship was a human, the ogre felt that the room was unusually crowded, and he had to bend down to get in, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Compared with his own large captain's room, which seemed to fit a galley and a dining room, this one seemed much more formal, with bookshelves, wine racks, a table, and a comfortable cot, and it could be seen that the original owner was a guy who would enjoy it.

The table was a mess of rulers, compasses, and the like, and a map with Balodiza pinned to it, marked with black, blue, and red dye.

"Well, although there is only a route to Karelia, the harvest is not bad. ”

Of course, ordinary people, ordinary sailors will be unfamiliar with such a ghost-like thing, but in the eyes of an experienced captain like an ogre, this thing is worth much more than the ship under his feet, it represents a golden rooster that keeps laying golden eggs.

Carefully taking the map off the table with a knife, and digging out the ship's nautical diary on the shelf, the ogre walked out of the cabin with a satisfied smile, he couldn't wait to study what was written on the map, and maybe he could find the place where the ship was used to bury its treasures.

It was a common practice for those who lived at sea, and the captain would hide most of the ship's proceeds in a secret place, and when he wanted to put an end to this dangerous life, he would take it out and give it to his sailors.

This also makes the sailors mentioned above, in order to be able to obtain that part of the wealth, to maintain a certain loyalty to the captain of the ship, and will endure the captain's orders in order to obtain those benefits, just as in the company, for the little year-end bonus every year, many people will choose to grovel.

Seeing the ogre appear on the deck with a smile, those sailors couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that some of the gains found in the captain's room made the captain very satisfied, and the captain was satisfied, and after eating the meat, their subordinates could also get some broth to drink, because compared to other captains, the ogre Gugar was still more generous, and he would not be slow and calculating when giving out rewards.

Back on the Black Ogre, Gugar studied what he was holding for a moment, then turned his head and began to think about what to do with the ship, and finally he decided to split up half of the sailors and sail the ship to the Russ steppe together.

In the Baltic Sea, a good ship is also a gold mine that can produce a steady stream of gold, and selling it to the tribal chieftains of the Rus' steppes will not only get a lot of gold coins, but also be able to get good relations with those vulgar guys, and get more profits in the future.

Those who were lucky enough to survive were taken to their cells at the bottom of the ship, after which they were to live comfortably in order to ensure that they could be sold in the slave market of Zealand at a better price in a more spiritual manner, but there was no way that there would be a great difference between a strong and mentally good slave and a weak and listless slave.

That's right, Alice, who likes to emancipate slaves and give them freedmen and even citizenship, built a slave market on the island of Sealand, partly because her mind has begun to get used to the world, and has begun to truly integrate into the world, and has begun to accept the worldview, outlook on life and values that are generally accepted here.

On the other hand, it is also because the Baltic Empire is very short of population now, if you only rely on natural birth, when the Scandinavian Empire and Attila attack, the Baltic Empire will have no soldiers to go to the battlefield.

Don't say how many sea beasts and sea tribes there are in the Baltic Sea, because they can only move below the sea surface, and when the sea is frozen in winter, they will be completely blocked under the sea surface by more than ten meters thick ice, just like a beast locked in a cage, only the effect of bluffing.

The battle was won without any casualties, and a number of satisfactory trophies were harvested, and today's battle was undoubtedly a great victory.

As night fell, a feast was held on both side by side ships, and the sailors gathered on deck, munching on the day's spoils, the well-preserved dried meats, and drinking the fine wine found in the captain's quarters.

They shouted praises to Captain Gugar's generosity, these sweet wines, even if you want to drink them, you can't find them in the tavern, this is something that only nobles and spellcasters are entitled to, and the precious wine made from magical materials, of course, in order to let every sailor taste these fine wines, it is only natural to pour water into the wine.

Afterwards, after selling the loot, they could still get a big reward, of course, it was a long time later, and now all they needed was to party, sing, and play to their heart's content, to celebrate that they had spent a long day in the damn world.
