Chapter 65: The Time of the Beginning of the War
The slums of Kalmar City are chaotic and mixed, and although the Redbeard Pirates number in the hundreds, they are only a drop in the bucket for this large area, not to mention the small teams.
William, Reis, Chloe and others searched all the way along the street with four old pirates.
The crowd had already entered the depths of the slum, and on both sides of the narrow streets stood several dirty, shabby young men in shabby clothes, who looked at the group of pirates in fear, and knew all about their inquiries.
The pirates under his command asked a vicious question, and Lacey unconsciously glanced around with a sloppy gaze, they had been walking around the slum for a long time, and even the sky was gradually darkening, and their spirits were inevitably a little relaxed.
On one side of the street, the window of a small two-story building was slowly pushed open, and Lacey's originally somewhat sloppy gaze suddenly froze.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of metal components colliding came into the ears, this sound was so familiar, Lacey almost reacted before the brain, and subconsciously pounced to the side, at this time, the brain reacted, thinking that there was an ambush, and hurriedly shouted to a few unaware subordinates on the street: "Be careful!"
Lacey's prompt was a step slower, and as soon as he roared, fires erupted from the windows of small buildings on both sides of the street, and gunshots rang out one after another.
The two old pirates fell to the ground with the sound of gunfire, and the blood gushing out quickly stained the ground beneath them red.
The other old pirates dodged one after another, and at this time, the young men who had cowered and answered the question before suddenly tore off the camouflage on their faces, lifted the hem of their shirts, took out flintlock pistols from their waists, and each had two guns in their hands, and fired at the old pirates who were attracted to the gunmen of Xiaolou, so as to turn their backs on them.
The two pirates who were lucky enough to escape a round of ambush shook their bodies a few times as the pistols rang out, and after a few blood flowers flew out, they followed in the footsteps of their companions.
Two young ambushers did not attack the pirates, but fired in the direction of Lacey, but Lacey was not as useless as his pirates, and with a few slashes of the scimitar in his hand, he had already broken the wall of a house next to the road, and his huge body rolled nimbly, and he had entered the house, avoiding the gunman's sight.
The breeze blew away the smoke from the field, and in the blink of an eye, only a group of young gunmen, William and Chloe were still standing.
A group of young people looked at William excitedly or nervously, and the two who had shot at Reis before but missed, also looked at the direction in which Reis disappeared, and looked eager to try.
William didn't speak, shook his head at the two men, and then slashed his throat like a knife, and a group of young gunmen from Momiji Village obeyed him, and began to mend the knives on several old pirates.
These young gunmen were born in Momiji Village, young and vigorous, eager to get ahead, and almost all of their family and friends work in the brewing workshop in Momiji Village, and are closely related to William, so they respect and fear William, and are the providers of the fate line, William still does not close the workshop in Momiji Village even now, even when the smuggling network has been taken away, partly because of their existence.
After making sure there were no survivors, a young gunman walked up to William and handed him a knife.
William untied the scimitar from his waist and replaced it with a knife, then slowly walked to the wall that Lacey had broken.
Reis, who had been secretly on guard in the house, suddenly saw William appear in sight, and he just wanted to remind the other party to be careful, but before the words could be spoken, he realized that something was wrong.
Reis had always been very intelligent, with a carefulness and sharpness that was not in keeping with his large size, and William, who stood at the crack in the wall, looked calm, and his face did not show at all the momentum and leap of a young man in front of the people on board, and the gunfire outside the house had disappeared at this time.
"Stolt?" Lacey narrowed his eyes as he watched William walk into the room through the hole, turning the scimitar in his hand slightly and pointing the tip of the knife at William.
"Reis...... , Vice-Captain," William grinned, "put the knife down, and for your sake, I can give you a good time." ”
William finished speaking and looked to the side.
Lacey was vigilant, and followed his gaze carefully, and at the door of the house on the side of the two, the pale-faced Chloe stood there at some point.
If Hayreddin was the secret hand that pulled him onto William's ship, then killing Reis together at this time can be regarded as Chloe's surrender after getting on the ship, and killing Reis can prove that Chloe is really with William from now on and will fight against Barbarossa to the end.
It's just that looking at Chloe's appearance, he is a little timid, and it is obvious that the accumulation of Barbarossa and Reis and others is still working.
"Eat what is inside and out. Lacey gritted his teeth and said, although he couldn't guess all William's plans, but now the situation is obvious, Chloe, who represents the Buendia family, has colluded with William with ill intentions for some reason.
William had already withdrawn his gaze from Chloe at this time, and walked towards him, with a light step, his left hand grasping the unsheathed knife, looking very relaxed, even his facial muscles seemed very relaxed.
Although Lacey didn't know what tricks William was up to, it didn't prevent him from making up his mind to kill William.
After William walked to the predetermined distance of Reis, Reis took a step forward, held the knife high in both hands, aimed at William's head and slashed hard, whether it was Reis or William, it was certain that the latter would be split in half if the knife was split.
Before the scimitar approached William's body, the wind blew his hair back, and Chloe, who was not far away, widened his eyes, but the tragedy he expected did not happen.
William's eyes suddenly sharpened, the loose muscles of his whole body tensed suddenly, and the muscles on his face were the same, so that his complexion changed, becoming extremely cold, his speed was faster than Lacey, and the range of action was smaller, just a small step diagonally forward, and then the right hand pulled out the knife, the left hand released the scabbard, grabbed the handle, and completed a neat upward movement, although the back shot, but at the same time as the Lacey scimitar chopped, it also completed the action of dodging and counterattacking.
Although the scimitar that Lacey slashed was missing, Yu Wei still cut a long knife mark on the floor, and the castration continued, and the blade wind crashed into the already broken wall behind William.
William didn't even look at Lacey and the collapsed wall, and danced a sword flower, shaking off some of the blood stained on the blade, and then slowly retracted the knife.
Koshiro thinks that William is a genius in swordsmanship, not because his strength has reached the point where Koshiro is shocked, but because although he has only been learning swords for a short time, he has already faintly had a sense of everyone, and he has his own thinking and style in swordsmanship.
See the truth in the details.

At the same time as the knife and the sheath were closed, a trace of blood suddenly appeared on the wrists of Lacey's hands, who had been maintaining the downward slashing motion.
Lacey's face contorted, and he tried to withdraw the knife, but he noticed a sharp pain between his hands, and then he heard a clang, and his heavy scimitar had fallen to the ground with his hands.
Chloe opened his mouth wide and looked at William again, only to see that he was tilting his head slightly, looking at him coldly.
Chloe shuddered suddenly, what William had just done was obviously showing strength.
At this time, although Lacey had no hands, he still endured the pain and pounced on William, but unfortunately he couldn't hurt William when he had both hands, how could he succeed now.
William stumbled on his footsteps, then stretched out his leg and tripped him, sending Lacey's massive body to the ground.
Lying on the ground, Lacey's face was pale, the wound from his wrist was as smooth as a mirror, and he was still bleeding out, but he still insisted on crawling towards the collapsed wall.
Barbarossa ....... "Lacey now just wants to pass on the news to his cousin, the enemy is dark, William has been hiding his strength, after losing his and Hayreddin's two henchmen, how can Barbarossa save his life under William's calculations?
Chloe pulled out a dagger and came to Lacey, who was crawling through gritted teeth, and after looking at William with a cold look, he crouched down and slit Lacey's throat.
Ignoring the slowly struggling Lacey, William walked out of the house, and as soon as he reached the street, a drop of cold rain fell on his face, and then the pouring rain suddenly poured down like a signal.
……
Outside Kalmar City, on the hill above the private harbor, in the wind and rain, three men were staring closely at the warship not far away.
"Everyone's gone?"
"There are only two or three big cats and small kittens. ”
William said the captain's room was at the stern. ”
Tony, who was squatting, crumpled the cigarette that had already been wet by the rain, threw it on the ground, looked at Edmund and Alamis, and slowly got up: "Then what are we waiting for?
The mountain wind blew, and the raincoats of the three were blown and hunted.
