Chapter 2: Farewell
Hearing Giannini's voice, Alexander was surprised and even more shocked.
In Caribo, although Giannini is not a celebrity, he knows a lot because he used to wander outside in his early years.
But the people of Calipo probably wouldn't have thought that Giannini was actually doing this kind of murderous business outside, and in order to keep this secret, Giannini must not hesitate to kill people!
"Little sheep, slam the door open!"
Jonini's shout rang out from outside the door again, and then the hatch was slammed open again, and the heavy barrel rolled backwards, and Ulliu pressed his shoulders against the edge of the barrel with all his might, and at that moment, an arm holding a scimitar suddenly stretched out from the crack in the door that had been slammed open, and then smashed down, and Ulliu immediately let out a scream!
The hand holding the knife was raised again, but before it could fall, Sophia next to her had already grabbed a wooden pole that held the ballast stone and smashed it on the wrist of that hand.
The protruding nail cap on the wooden bar poked into the bone of the hand, and with a scream outside the door, the hand threw away the scimitar and desperately pulled back from the crack in the door, because it was too hard, the arm slashed over the broken door shards, and in another scream, a piece of flesh scraped against the broken door panel.
Alexander immediately picked up the scimitar that had been thrown on the ground, and at the same time he pulled Sophia and Ulliu, who had just risen, to quickly retreat behind the pile.
Just as they had jumped over the pile, the partition that was used as a partition for the cabin had been kicked open from the opposite side, and several sailors with bloody knives and axes in their hands shouted and rushed over!
One of the sailors turned to carry the barrels that were still in front of the hatch, while the others pounced on Alexander behind the pile.
"There are women!"
A sailor's eyes flashed at Sophia with a frenzied light, but as soon as he stepped on the top of the pile with one foot, his eyes went dark, and he threw himself backwards as if he had been punched head-on, knocking the man who followed him off the pile.
Sophia held a short crossbow that was still trembling in her right hand, and in her left hand she held several crossbow arrows, these crossbow arrows were specially made by Alexander before leaving Palermo, the shafts of the arrows were smooth, and the triangular arrows were even sharper, such weapons were very terrible in this era!
The sailors who were about to rush up were a little dazed by the sudden change, and they couldn't help but stop in fright when they saw that the guy who had been shot down had only a small arrow tail on his face and fell to the floor screaming.
The hatch opened, and a few more sailors rushed into the bilge, and by the time an old man with a babbling voice squeezed in, a group of sailors had occupied most of the cabin.
"What are you guys doing, hurry up!" Giannini shoved his accomplice in front of him and yelled, "Otherwise, everyone else will take it all away." “
"They've got weapons," said a water hand, pointing to the pile, "like a very powerful crossbow, and Pooh Jr. has made them make it." ”
"You cowards, there are only a few of them!"
Jonini shouted as he squeezed to the front, waving his sword and crawling up the pile, but he had barely taken a few steps when a strong wind came in front of him.
Giannini let out a scream and threw himself to the side, a burning pain on his face, and then he heard another scream behind him.
"I don't know which unlucky ghost got the arrow...... a thought flashed through Giannini's mind, but he didn't care at all, these sailors were all temporarily gathered to make a fortune, and if one dies, one less will share the spoils.
However, these people in front of him were a bit of a hand, and Giannini looked back to see that in addition to them, there were still a few people who had gone to deal with the shipowner and the sailor leader, and now he had to deal with these people as soon as possible, and then leave the ship with the loot.
After all, it is too close to the coast of Europe, and although it is night, if you delay the time, you may have trouble during the day.
Jonini got up and waved his hand, and was about to speak, when he heard a voice from the other side of the pile: "Jonini! ”
Giannini was stunned, he didn't expect someone on the other side to know him, his small eyes immediately narrowed, and at the same time he looked back behind him.
Even if they are accomplices, most of them don't know each other, and according to the unwritten rules, after the things are done, they will immediately break up and go their separate ways, and there is almost no chance of meeting again in the future, and only in this way can they rest assured.
But now someone recognized him, and it was the people on the other side, and there was a cruel light in Giannini's eyes, he didn't know who was on the other side, but he had already made up his mind not to let them leave the ship alive.
However, the weapon in the other party's hand made him scruples, especially when the other party was hiding behind the pile, and in such a narrow place, Giannini was not sure that he would be able to rush over and solve them smoothly.
"Who is it, do you know me?" Giannini tried to keep his voice as low as possible, even though Giannini's name was very common, he still didn't want the people behind him to hear, "If you're an acquaintance, come out and let me see, maybe we can discuss." “
As he spoke, Giannini quietly picked up his sword from the ground, he had already made up his mind, and while he was pretending to negotiate with the other party, he suddenly rushed up and stabbed the man, and as for the short crossbow that might be hidden behind the pile, he believed that as long as the person came out, he could use that person as a shield, unless the short crossbow was in the man's hand.
"Jonini, I didn't expect you to be out there all this kind of business, it seems that you are lying when you say that you are making money by being a mercenary to buy a ship."
The man still didn't come out, but he didn't hesitate to reveal Jonini's bottom, which made Jonini annoyed but couldn't help it for a while.
"You shouldn't be from my hometown, but you know my business, and the voice is a little familiar," Jonini slowly rubbed forward with a knife, and at the same time he quietly gestured to his accomplices behind him, "Who are you who asked me to meet you, since we are acquaintances, we can discuss our affairs, let's have a good talk, there is no need to see the real chapter,"
"It's best to have a discussion," the words from behind the pile made Jonini happy, but he didn't expect it to come again, "Okay, don't go any further, if you go any further, everyone will be in trouble." ”
Jonini cursed in his heart, he looked back, and saw that two people on his side had secretly approached the side of the pile, so he continued while hinting: "You can leave in a small boat, but you have to leave the goods with you, I can only promise you so much." ”
"I can give you the goods, but how can I trust you, let alone others, can they be trusted?"
Giannini smiled slyly, the reason why he said to keep the goods was to make the other party think that they were just greedy for money, and it was easier to be convinced by being greedy, otherwise too good to talk would arouse suspicion.
Now it seems that although the other party is cautious, he still relaxes his vigilance because of a glimmer of life.
One of Giannini's hands waved behind him, signaling his accomplices to get ready.
He guessed that there should be only two or three people on the other side, and that terrible short crossbow should only be one, as long as that person appeared, he could let his accomplices rush over from both sides at the same time, even if one person died, as long as he was close to his side, he could rely on more people to kill the other party's few people.
Thinking so, Giannini slowly straightened up and stretched out his sword to the side where the other party should be visible, and then grinned: "Come on, friend, let's meet, maybe we can have a drink together later." ”
Then he saw a figure slowly peeking out from behind the pile, but then a hint of uneasiness suddenly rose, it was completely an instinct that had been cultivated gradually after years of wandering outside, and Giannini didn't even have time to warn the accomplice next to Fat, so he turned around and threw himself off the pile!
Just as he was barely able to groan in pain as his shoulder hit the board, Giannini heard a deafening sound in the closed bilge!
As the spark burst out, a cloud of smoke sprayed from the pile towards the two sailors standing closest to him, and with a terrible scream, one of the sailors tumbled and fell off the pile, while the other was not directly hit, but the sparks sprayed on his face.
The sailor couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his face, but then he was hit in the forehead by something flying in front of him, and he rolled down the pile.
"Kill them!" Jonini crawled up, his sword no longer knew where to throw it, and Jonini, who had snatched the short knife from the side, followed his accomplice who had already rushed by the side, shouting and pounced!
Another scream rang out, and the sailor who rushed ahead suddenly threw the knife in his hand, clutched his shoulders and rolled into the corner, and then in the flash of the fire, Giannini saw that a beautiful girl had just let go of a seemingly delicate crossbow, which had not fallen to the ground, but was hung by a belt, and with her vigorously waving arm, it could not stop swaying under her wrist.
Then Giannini felt a chill in his neck, and then he felt as if the strength in his body was leaking out from the painful part of his neck!
Jonini's feet went limp, and he was immediately staggered by the man who followed him, and he pressed hard against the bleeding wound on his neck, and when he staggered, he seemed to see a familiar figure in front of him shaking in front of him, and then he seemed to hear a loud noise, but it didn't seem to be the sound of a firearm firing, but like the sound of something exploding.
"Damn it!"
A sailor's curse exploded in Johnni's ears, and he fell to the ground, just as he saw a hole in the ship's hull pouring into the water from a hole in the oars.
Jonini struggled, but he was bleeding so much that just before he passed out, he faintly heard another voice that would be a nightmare for all of them: "Kill them all!" I'm going to hang the corpses of these rebels from the mast! ”
Alexander's body kept sinking, and the moment he jumped out of the cabin and fell into the sea, the whirlwind of falling water was like a heavy lead pulling his legs downward, and his mouth and nose poured into the sea water and squeezed him almost knocked him unconscious.
Both lives are related to water, which makes Alexander instinctively have an indescribable fear of water, but at this moment, the fear of life and death makes his sinking body burst out of amazing potential, his arms slapped hard, his legs kept swinging, just when he thought he might sink like this, one hand grabbed his clothes tightly, and with the tugging, Alexander's head hit something hard.
Instinctively, Alexander clung to the thing, and it seemed as if someone was calling him in his ear, but he just gulped and choked on the water, and it took a while for him to finally gasp and look around.
In the darkness, Alexander saw Ulliu, who was clutching a broken plank with him, and then he suddenly realized something, and kept looking around.
Except for the shouting boats not far away, there is only the undulating and tumbling water, and the Mediterranean Sea is full of dangers at night!
"Sophia, where is Sophia!"
Alexander cried out despite his aching throat.
"Master, I saw Sophia beside you when the mouth of the ship was blown up, but the explosion threw us out!" Ulius cried out nervously, his body curled as far as he could on the plank, but one hand still clutched the corner of Alexander's clothes.
Delay the time to divert the enemy's attention, then use the gunpowder of the self-defense firearm you bring with you to blow open the oar and escape.
Alexander managed to escape from the rebellious ship, but ......
"Sophia~~"
Alexander's desperate and angry roar lingered on the dark sea!
