Chapter 125: Alabastan
Alabastan, the land of the desert. Mobile
In one town, dozens of pirates had gathered here, and behind them were piled up a number of cloth bags full of gold coins, and several pirates were putting the gold coins in the cloth bags into large pockets.
There were about a dozen civilians squatting on the ground with their heads on their hands, with frightened expressions on their faces, and next to them were four or five pirates armed with sharp blades, surrounding these more than ten civilians in the center.
In front of the many pirates, there were about 100 Alabastani guards confronting the pirates, holding spears and muskets in their hands, all looking very nervous.
"Hurry up and let people go! You've got the money! ”
In the center of the guard, a young girl with sky blue hair glared angrily at the pirates, looking to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was not afraid to face the many pirates.
But she was not afraid, but the guards and the captain of the guard next to her were extremely nervous, with cold sweat on their foreheads, and someone kept speaking beside her:
"Her Royal Highness Princess...... It's dangerous here, please stand back and ......"
"Deal with pirates or something, just leave it to us."
However, listening to the words of the many guards, Wei Wei clenched her small fist and said: "They took the hostages, it is not something that can be solved simply by force, my father is not here, I can only deal with it." ”
Many pirates faced several times the number of Alabastani guards, but they did not show any fear, and the pirate captain who was the leader grinned, waved the broad-bladed broadsword in his hand, and said: "I got a lot of money, but these are just looted money, how much do you think the lives of these hostages in our hands can be worth?!" ”
Hearing this, Wei Wei gritted her teeth and took a step forward and said, "Alabastan is a poor country, we have no money to give you here, please let go of the hostages and leave!" ”
"Tsk."
The pirate captain looked at Wei Wei, narrowed his eyes and said, "Such a big country, who would believe you if you say that there is no money, then again, you seem to be the princess of this country, right?" ”
"Yes!"
Facing many pirates, the fourteen-year-old Vivi still spoke without fear, "How can you let people go?" ”
The pirate captain snorted and said, "Didn't you say it, we just want money, there are fourteen people here, each of them pays 10 million Bailey, and you can let it go, if you can't get the money, I can't help you, Your Royal Highness the young princess, hahahaha." ”
And just as the pirate captain's voice fell, a large number of guards rushed to the street, and together with the people before them, there were nearly two or three hundred people, surrounding the street layer by layer.
Seeing the reinforcements arriving, Wei Wei looked at the pirate captain and said seriously: "You have also seen that the strength of our side has far surpassed yours, and reinforcements will continue to come, I don't think you want to start a battle here, right?" ”
"In exchange, release the hostages, and you can get out of here safely!"
The decisive and firm tone did not seem to be something that a fourteen-year-old young princess could say at all, so much so that the captain of the guard next to him and the others couldn't help but admire in their hearts.
This is their Royal Highness the princess of Alabastan!
Although His Majesty Kobra does not have a prince, Princess Vivi's strength and courage are enough to succeed to the throne and govern the country in the future!
“……”
Hearing Princess Vivi's words, the pirate captain's face suddenly sank, he looked at the many guards surrounded by layers on the street, snorted coldly, put the knife in his hand on the neck of a hostage, and said viciously: "Are you threatening us?" ”
"No, not a threat, just a statement of facts."
Vivi was nervous when she saw that the knife in the pirate captain's hand was less than half a finger's distance from a civilian's neck, but she still responded in a deep voice.
At the same time, the musketeers of the Guards aimed their guns at the many pirates.
The pirate captain couldn't help but squint his eyes as he looked at the many firebolts aimed at himself and his companions, although he wasn't very afraid of these two or three hundred people, but once the fight started, casualties were inevitable, and the other party's reinforcements were indeed still arriving.
Damn it.
It's been too long!
"Let go of the hostages, you will give way, I can't easily believe this, and we have fifteen hostages in our hands, even if we kill one or two, you don't dare to do it."
"Don't threaten Lao Tzu!"
The pirate captain opened his mouth fiercely, and stepped on the civilian's back, knocking it over, and the blade in his hand was against the opponent's neck.
"Stop!"
Vivi let out a loud shout.
The pirate captain looked at Wei Wei, and then at the terrified civilians at his feet, and suddenly grinned, and said, "What a good princess who cares about the people, since you want to rescue them so much, why don't you come over as a hostage?" ”
"I can't get the money, I think I think the lives of civilians are not worth much, if it is replaced by the life of the princess, it will probably be different, hahahaha."
The first half of the words almost made the captain of the guard and the others shout, but the second half of the words made everyone's faces change, including Bell, the adjutant of the Kingdom Guard who heard the news.
These bastard pirates!!
Bell clenched his fists, anger in his eyes, once this kind of remark spreads, even if most people don't believe it, it will always have a certain impact on Vivi and the kingdom.
Wei Wei was also very aware of this, she looked at the frightened looks of the dozen civilians, gritted her teeth, stepped forward and said, "Yes!" Then I'll be your hostage! ”
"No way!"
"Your Highness Vivi, you can't do this!"
The guards next to him objected almost in unison.
Including Adjutant Bell, he rushed out of the crowd and said, "Your Highness Vivi, I won't be able to explain to Your Majesty...... I'll be the hostage! I'm the lieutenant of the guard in Alabastan! ”
He said as he walked towards the pirates.
Seeing this, the pirate captain snorted, and the knife in his hand drew a little blood line on the civilian's neck, and said, "Escort adjutant? You can be a fart hostage, maybe you kid has some special abilities that you want to sneak up on? Stand there for me! ”
Bell stopped with a stiff face.
Seeing this, Wei Wei took a deep breath, crossed Bell, came to the front of the group of pirates, and said, "I'll be a hostage, and you let the others go!" ”
Although she showed a courage far beyond what her age could have, she still had a slight tremor in her voice when she spoke, after all, she was facing a vicious pirate, and it was impossible to say that there was no fear at all, but she had to overcome her fear.
The pirate captain was also a little surprised to see Wei Wei really come over, he just thought that this princess had done too well before, and he was deeply popular with the people, so he planned to deliberately sabotage it, but he didn't expect the other party to really dare to come over and exchange hostages!
"Her Royal Highness seems to be very sensible, hahaha."
After a slight surprise, the pirate captain grinned and kicked the civilians out of the air, grabbing Vivi and pushing back, and the pirates behind him immediately took their swords and stook them.
Although he was a little impressed by the young princess Vivi, he was a pirate, and it was impossible to be merciful.
Being pressed against her neck from both sides by two swords, and with a sword pointing at her back, Weiwei's little hands began to tremble slightly, but she still suppressed the cowardice in her heart and said, "I've come over and let go of the other hostages!" ”
