Chapter 51: Acting After Planning (2)
As the two days passed, the people who came and went to the docks gradually realized that the chubby dock official Ron was gone, and the docks in Ragusa were now unmanaged. Until the next night, the people were shocked to find that Ron's body had been hung on the east gate, with dozens of wounds on his fat body, his clothes were tattered, and almost none of his body was intact, his limbs were broken, and his fingers had been cut off by the roots, like a bare tree trunk in winter. Apparently, Ron had been subjected to inhuman torture before. Many people applauded, in fact, many people in Ragusa more or less knew that Ron and the pirates were in collusion with each other, but now they don't know why Ron died tragically at the East Gate.
When local officials in Ragusa learn of Ron's death, they have to take action, declaring that they must find Ron's killer.
In less than an hour, the news of Ron's death spread almost throughout Lagusa, and at the moment, I couldn't help but be stunned, secretly glad that there were some who regretted it, and some people who were good things began to analyze the reason why Ron was killed.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Ron must have died at the hands of pirates, and the reason is naturally the uneven distribution of spoils.
The night was as deep as water, and the hour was nearly midnight. The wind howled, rolling up patches of sand and dust on the ground, and turning them into clouds of mist in the air.
On the silent long street, the cold moon is shining, but in the stronghold not far away, it is brightly lit, and there are a few faint shouts, which makes it seem a little deserted here.
Since Maxim executed Ron, there had been no disappearance of personnel or sinking of ships, so the pirates had the audacity to rearrange the outposts.
With the sound of wine belching and muffled discussions, a patrol of six people appeared in the woods.
"I didn't expect Ron to betray us. ”
"It's just that so many of us have been killed. ”
"Maxim cheapened him, he should be watered or roasted copper bull"
This group is none other than the pirate patrol team.
Suddenly, a figure flashed ghostly, flying down from the trees on the side like a big bird, silently, dream-like as if there was still nothing, the long sword in his hand flashed a cold light, and stabbed out towards the first person walking in front of the patrol.
The pirates who were patrolling were suddenly devastated, and they hurriedly flashed to the side, hurriedly drawing their weapons from their waists, desperately trying to block the long sword.
The ghostly figure seemed to twist in the air, and the sword stabbed out like lightning, stabbing at the pirate in front of him, stabbing him in the chest!
The man screamed miserably, and a thin blood line gushed out from his chest, shooting straight to a meter away, and his body fell limply, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
The figure's long sword was retracted, and when the two pirates stabbed their weapons away, the silver saber slashed through their necks, and the two pirates felt a chill in their necks, and their bodies suddenly fell to the ground like empty rag bags, and blood spurted wildly from their necks.
The man in black seemed to sneer, and kicked out another pirate on the side like lightning, and the pirate had not reacted before he kicked him in the crotch, and his whole body flew into the air with his hands dancing, and a suppressed hiss sounded from his mouth, and blood spurted wildly in his facial features at the same time, and he lost his breath before he landed.
The remaining two couldn't control it anymore, and shouted hoarsely: "Enemy-attack-" Then they took their weapons and slashed at the man in black.
The man in black did not dodge or dodge, his body fluttered and flashed in front of the two, a beautiful sword light flashed, two great heads rose from their necks to the sky, two pillars of blood shot out of the air, and with two bangs, they fell to the ground and rolled to the side.
At this time, another man in black slowly came to his side and shook his head slightly, it was Nangong Yu, he bowed lightly and said, "Mr. Massimo, we should go, the pirates should be chasing after us immediately, we must leave Ragusa before they arrive, otherwise there will be danger." ”
Massimo nodded with a smile and said loudly, "Okay, let's go back and prepare, and we will leave in an hour and return to Venice." ”
After speaking, the two of them looked at the shadows not far away, intentionally or unintentionally, and then quickly rushed towards Ragusa.
In the shadows, a pirate trembled like chaff, and when he saw the two of them go away, he pulled his legs and ran into the stronghold, as if there was death behind him.
......
About ten minutes later, Nangong Yu and Massimo returned to the boat, and the other four and the sailors were already ready to go to sea.
With Anna's order, the sailors quickly hoisted their sails and headed for the pirate dock.
Massimo touched the sweat on his face without caring about the image, and said to Nangong Yu: "Nangong, I'm worried that I will beat them up and won't come out." ”
Nangong Yu smiled secretly in his heart and said, "Don't worry, I will teach you a little more today, this is to lure the snake out of the hole." Maxim is like a poisonous snake that has been hungry for a few days, and suddenly smells the smell of oil, and naturally comes out to forage for food, and the target is you, the second son of the duke. ”
Massimo was stunned and couldn't help but get a little nervous, and said, "What if Maxim sends someone else to help? In that case, our ship won't be able to go far, and Jim has a lot of cargo on it." ”
Nangong Yu smiled and said: "Maxim will not do this, the trouble of the past few days has already made him angry, at this time he has lost his mind, and I conclude that he will definitely be fully dispatched, so I asked Marco to move the rest of the ships except for his flagship." ”
Massimo said: "I still have a question, Nangong, you are so fierce, I think I have improved a lot in the past few days, why didn't we kill them directly just now, but to lure them out?"
Nangong Yu glanced at him and said, "I am a human, not a god, not to mention that the terrain is not familiar, so many people will consume us." Wouldn't it be better to draw them out directly and solve them at sea. ”
Massimo pursed his lips and said, "I still want to find a few more people to practice swordsmanship." ”
Nangong Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Massimo, your foundation is still relatively weak, when this commission is over, I will train you well, I hope you can hold on." ”
Anna sat quietly on the side, seemingly deaf to the conversation between the two, but the hidden smile in Mu Ruoqiushui's eyes was enough to prove that she was eager to see her brother being trained, and the scene of the silent swordsman receiving the guidance of a twelve-year-old child must have been very interesting.
The sea ahead was the only route for the pirate stronghold, and the midnight ocean was empty, with only the faint splash of the waves.
Not far from the shore, behind the towering terrain, is the pirate's dock.
Nangong Yu's eyes stared at that side, looking at the sea with the same color of heaven and earth, and there was a look of banter in his eyes. If I'm right, Maxim wants to catch up with us, and here and now is the best chance.
"Maxim, you wouldn't have thought that you, the hunter, would eventually become prey. Nangong Yu thought secretly in his heart.
A whistle sounded, and Rosa on the mast shouted to the deck: "Nangong, I found that the pirate ships, there are five in total, are heading in our direction, and the speed is very fast. ”
Massimo tightened his grip on his sword, Anna hid behind Nangong Yu, Marco stared intently at the other four sailing ships except for the flagship, and Jim drank whiskey on the deck without a heart.
Nangong Yu narrowed his eyes and said to Massimo: "I will deal with Maxim, and you can deal with the rest of the pirates, but don't let them hurt our people." ”
Massimo said confidently, "Understood." ”
On the other party's flagship, Maxim looked fiercely at the sailboat floating on the sea like leaves in front of him, waved his hand, and shouted coldly: "Speed up, catch up with them, I will tear them apart." ”
Suddenly, five pirate ships stretched out many long oars and plunged into the water. The speed of the sailboat increased again.
But just as the distance was closer, the sound of "squeak, squeak" was heard, and except for Maxim's flagship, the other four sailing ships shook as if drunk, and then the bow gradually sank.
The creaking intensified, and the four sailing ships sank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the sailors on board cried out in panic, but the speed of the sinking was so fast that in a few moments, they were swallowed up by the waves.
