Chapter Seventy-Two: Strong Obstruction (Alliance Leader Plus Change)
Seeing the golden seal, the black dog finally relented. What Gappas said earlier was indeed terrifying, but after all, there was no basis for it. At present, this viscount seal is genuine, a symbol of nobility in the Holy Roman Empire.
In any empire, it is an unforgivable sin for a commoner to offend a nobleman. The offender will lose all his family property at least and ruin his family at worst. Even if the black dog was a member of the mafia, he would never dare to do anything to an imperial viscount.
"I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, please wait here. I'm going to go back and ask your lord to explain the situation to you. The black dog softened, apologized to the other party, and then turned to leave in the boat.
The black dog didn't dare to let them in directly, Rambo gave a death order, and no ship could enter this port without his consent. The black dog only said that he was going back to ask for instructions, and did not let the Shiratori enter the port.
Hearing this, Gappas's face became more and more gloomy, and he looked at the departing black dog and gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, a small mafia dares to be so arrogant, and dares to set up obstacles in the port!" ”
Klein took two steps closer to Gappasde, and also suppressed his anger and said, "Hmph, when I return to Florence, I will definitely bring troops here to destroy these damned bandits." ”
"Okay, I'll give you funding to support your war when the time comes!" Gappasd was a businessman, and in his belief that the power of money could destroy all enemies.
In the empty space where the black dog had left, the second mate on the Shiratori suddenly ran out of the cabin onto the deck and whispered something in Klein's ear.
Klein listened to the second officer's report, and the expression on his face gradually became surprised and fearful. After thinking for a while, he said to the second mate with a dark face: "This matter must be handled quietly and quietly." Later, you take two of them, tie them up and lock them all in the cabin, and don't throw them into the water to prevent anyone from finding out. ”
The second mate got the order, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes. Eventually, though, he nodded and called out to two men from the deck and stepped out of the cabin.
Gappas didn't hear the conversation clearly, so he frowned and asked, "What's the matter, what's going on?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that two more pigs are in a fever and coma, and I've already asked the second mate to deal with it." Klein whispered. This kind of thing has happened a lot in the past two days, and he has become accustomed to it.
Gappas just nodded and didn't ask more.
In the harbor, medium-sized sailboats went and returned, this time with Rambo at the bow station. From afar, Rambo saw Gappasd and Klein on the White Bird, and his eyes fluctuated slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
As the ship sailed in, Rambo bowed down to the other party and said respectfully, "Hello two adults, I am a knight and the head of the harbor of Messina. Whatever you want, you can tell me. ”
Gappas looked at Rambo condescendingly, his eyes full of contempt: "Hmph, it turned out to be just a small knight, I thought it was a big man." Now, you hurry up and open the harbor and let us in, and I'll forgive you for your offense. ”
Klein didn't even bother to talk to Rambo, instead starting to shout out to the crew to get them ready to set sail. It seemed to him that a small knight would not dare to disobey their orders in any case.
Rambo, however, continued to put on a respectful look and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, my lords. I was ordered to close the port, and any ship had to wait until it had been inspected before it could enter the port. So the two boats still need to wait in the open sea, and we can bring you the food and fresh water you need on board. ”
Rambo said politely, but there was no intention of backing down in his tone. Although the knight is the lowest noble, it is also a nobleman and will not be punished for offending other nobles. The only one who can punish Rambo at will is his lord Eugen.
"What?!" Gappas cried out in shock and rage, "What are you?" How dare you stop us! Tell me, who gave you the order to make you so bold. ”
Klein was also furious when he heard this, and he no longer commanded the ship, but directly pulled out the long sword on his waist, pointed the tip of the sword at Rambo and said: "Sir, there are some things that you can't say nonsense, and you will have to bear the corresponding consequences if you say it." ”
In the face of these undisguised threats, Rambo smiled indifferently and waved his hand directly instead of speaking.
There was a click, a click and a reloading sound, and six and a half fist-sized black holes were aimed at Klein and Gappast. The people on the Rambo ship are all mafia thugs, and short-barreled muskets can almost be said to be their standard.
At this moment, being pointed at several muskets, even Klein couldn't help but gasp. At this distance, the power of the short-barreled musket is not weak, and when six muskets are fired at the same time, he will have to shed a layer of skin even if he does not die.
Then, Rambo chuckled and said, "My lord is the honorable Lord Eugen Habsburg, and the order he gave me was to hold this port. I won't listen to anyone's orders except Lord Eugen! ”
Gappas had never been treated like this, and at this moment the killing intent in his eyes was even stronger, and he stared at Rambo and said in a cold tone: "You really don't know whether you live or die, knight." ”
As a wealthy businessman, he has too many ways to kill a person. Not to mention a knight, if he wanted to, even if he was a noble viscount, he could buy the other party's life for money.
However, he obviously muttered to Rambo, who had been honed on the battlefield, and Rambo was not afraid of death at all. Not to mention this kind of verbal threat, even if he pointed a musket at his head now, he would not let go.
The two sides had already torn their faces, and Rambo was no longer polite, but just sneered and said, "Let's wait here first, food and water will be delivered later." Don't even think about forcing your way in, those three burning sailboats are the consequences. After seven days of inspection, you will naturally be allowed to enter the port. ”
So saying, he ordered the medium-sized sailing ship to retreat into the harbor. On the sailboat, the muzzle of the musket was still aimed at the Shiratori, and it looked terrifying.
Klein cursed vigorously on the boat, but to no avail. Although he is a nobleman, in the face of a gang of bandits armed with muskets, the identity of the nobleman will not help them.
Gappas's eyes flickered, and when he saw Rambo going away, he hurriedly shouted, "Knight, I want you to let the local fiefdom nobles come to see me." It's a legitimate request, and you can't say no. ”
As the shadow of the ship faded away, Gappas did not get a reply from Rambo. Now he can only hope that Rambo is a nobleman who plays by the rules of the game.
Rambo, who was looking back at the White Bird, frowned slightly when he heard Gappasde's words.
