Chapter Ninety-One: Recovering Yaning
The pirate leader was controlled, and five or six pirates on deck were overwhelmed and surrounded Hig in the center to keep watch, and they were neither on nor up.
"Hahaha!" The pirate leader, with his mouth full of blood, shouted: "Cut the rope and start the ship!" ”
Higg was furious, and cast ice with his right hand to seal the pirate leader's whole person, and threw it on the armor and shouted: "If you resist, you will die, but if you surrender, you will live." ”
When all the pirates saw that they were lying on the ground, they were in a state of confusion, some went to cut ropes, some cut at Hig, and two of them were about to jump into the sea and escape, but no one laid down their weapons. Higg struck a pirate who was about to cut the rope with a bolt of lightning, and the pirate instantly turned black, and Higg immediately stepped forward to protect the rope that was holding the ship.
Seeing this, the pirates were stunned for a moment and no longer resisted, and jumped into the sea to flee, shouting as they fled, "The leader is dead, the leader is dead!" ”
By this time, the sails had been raised, and the pirate ship, which had lost its anchor, swayed violently in the wind, creaking, and trying to get out of the shore, but was tightly pulled by the rope tied to the stone pillar, and the rope that wrapped around the stone pillar rubbed violently against the pillar. Suddenly, a pale yellow light faintly emanated from the huge stone pillar.
Higg and several of his men were taken aback, thinking that the pirates were hiding some kind of hidden weapon, and hurriedly hid them on the spot.
The pale yellow light did not disappear, it was hazy, flickering and flickering, flickering and dimming. Higg poked his head out of the pirate ship, and found that the light of the boulder pillar was getting stronger and stronger, and could faintly see floating words on it, but this kind of writing Higg didn't recognize, Higg only felt that those runes were slowly getting clearer and clearer, but he didn't find any threat!
"Square Tower?" Higg was secretly shocked, he and Nicole were just joking, could it be that he was so lucky? Regardless of whether it's a square tower or not, let's get Nicole first.
Without hesitation, Higg shot a huge bright fireball into the sky, then took the bow of the Tree Elf, and with one arrow shot the rope hanging from the sail, the sail slowly fell, and the pirate ship immediately stopped shaking violently, and the rope holding the pirate ship no longer rubbed against the boulder pillar.
……
In the western harbor of Yaning Bay, in addition to one pirate ship that escaped, seven pirate ships were burned down from the original parked pirate ship, and two were received by the sailors of the Fuxing.
Nicole, who had just finished the battle, heard the lookout's report: "Due east, the distress signal at sea, five thousand meters away!" ”
"Rescue now, hoist the sails and anchor! Full sail at full speed! Nicole ordered, "Now I'll take over the helm." ”
Nicole immediately entered the helm room from the captain's room, she also saw the fireball, only Higg himself can send such a distress signal, Higg this guy, until the most dangerous moment, will never call for help, so Nicole had to hand over the harbor to the two pirate ships that had just been received, and she personally piloted the Fuxing, heading east.
The Fuxing slowly accelerated, heading northeast at a distance of five hundred meters from the coastline.
As the Fuxing got faster and faster, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
"Captain, are you going to let our ship be destroyed?" Several instructors came up and shouted with pale faces.
"Where are the guards? Get these guys out! Nicole was furious.
Nicole didn't know that sailing at a distance of 500 meters from the coast of an unsurveyed island meant that it could hit the reef at any time, and on such a moonlit night, even the exposed reef would not have time to be discovered, and even if it did, it would not have time to turn the rudder, not to mention that most of the islands were surrounded by reefs, and a small reef could destroy the Fuxing.
No one on the Fuxing was talking, and everyone was nervous, praying that the crazy captain would leave the shoreline immediately, that he wouldn't run into death.
……
Siegk didn't know that Nicole could be so crazy, he just wanted Nicole to confirm whether this huge stone pillar was a square tower before Aberto arrived, this kind of secret could not be known to too many people.
The huge stone pillar still shimmered with a hazy light, and the words on it began to become clearer and clearer, and the floating light flowed. It's an ancient script, it's the bearer of a high civilization, and Hig is almost certain that this giant stone pillar is the square tower that the Alchemy Nation is looking for. Sieg disembarked and came to the stone pillar, and sacrificed the Earth Spirit Orb, and a magic skill of Civilization Radiance completely enveloped the square tower, so that his light would not be detected by others.
The pirates had jumped into the sea, those who fled, those who were killed, and all that was left was Higg and seven or eight of the soldiers he had brought with him, and the two pirates who were still asleep.
More than ten minutes later, the Fuxing came quickly along the coast, and even Higg, a person who didn't know much about sailing, was startled, this was simply playing with the lives of the whole ship.
Higg didn't expect Nicole's madness at all, he didn't know that his distress signal would cause fatal danger, and this way of sailing, even if it didn't hit the rocks, ran aground and seriously damaged the battleship.
Higg ignited a huge fireball that lit up the entire coastline, hoping that Nicole would see that she was safe and not recklessly drive into this shallow water port.
The Fuxing dropped anchor two hundred meters from the shoreline, and Nicole personally commanded six assault boats to row towards the pillar where Higg was located.
"Nicole, are you crazy, don't die!" Higg said angrily.
"It's okay if you're okay, and we're okay!" When Nicole landed, she saw Higg and smiled, "What's going on?" ”
"Nonsense!" Higg pulled Nicole aside, pointed to the people Nicole had brought, and asked in a serious and quiet manner, "Are these people reliable?" ”
"Well, it's all my guards and instructors!" Ni could look at Higg's serious face and nodded.
"I may have found the square tower!" Higg said, "But you need to make sure!" ”
"What did you say?" Nicole exclaimed.
Higg withdrew the glow of civilization, revealing the still dimly glowing square tower, and looked at Nicole with a smile.
Nicole and the instructors suddenly ran to the front of the square tower like crazy, knelt down and prostrate themselves on the ground with their hands folded, and worshiped the square tower reverently.
"Is this really a square tower?" Higg asked curiously.
Nicole ignored Higg and continued to worship religiously.
"How do you take this square tower?" Higg whispered curiously again, not asking anyone, but completely incomprehensible.
"Higg, help me guard the perimeter!" Nicole stood up and solemnly said to her instructors and guards, "You are on full alert, and those who come close will be killed!" ”
"Yes, Your Highness Princess!" Several instructors stood with tears on their faces, scattered around on the lookout.
Nicole took a scroll from her body and read the ancient words on the megalith pillar in the ancient language towards the square tower, and both the boulder pillar and the scroll began to gradually exude a magical brilliance.
The ancient runes on the square tower turned into golden words of light and began to jump, becoming more and more violent, as if they were about to fall. Nicole's voice of the runes became louder and louder, and the beating of those runes became more and more violent, as if she had come to life, and in the end, she actually jumped out of the square tower, jumping from the top of the square tower to the scroll one by one, and completely disappeared in the magical light of the scroll. Nicole moved the scroll faster and faster, the voice became louder and louder, the scroll absorbed the golden light words faster and faster, the light of the square tower was gradually disappearing, and the magical brilliance of the scroll in Nicole's hand became brighter.
When the last golden light disappeared from the scroll, Nicole immediately closed the scroll and quickly moved away from the square tower, and the magical light disappeared.
The square tower, which had just lost its busyness, seemed to turn into shattered yellow lime, and it collapsed with a thud, stirring up puffs of pale yellow smoke on the shore!
Sweating profusely, Nicole and several instructors and all the guards walked up to Higg and bowed deeply.
"That's fine, isn't the square tower a part of the Swinging Spaceship, why do you only need runes?" Higg asked.
Nicole smiled, didn't answer, looked into the distance, and only said, "The pirate ship has floated away!" ”
Higg looked up, and sure enough, the pirate ship had floated to the sea, and the rope that was originally tied to the square tower was untied with the collapse of the square tower, and the pale yellow dust caused by the collapsed square tower made no one notice this detail.
Higg shouted, "Quick, let the Revival catch up, the pirate leader is still on deck!" ”
"Higg, you go to the Revival!" Nicole said, "You go to the Revival with a few instructors and recover the pirate ship!" ”
Without saying a word, Higg jumped on the assault boat and followed a few instructors to row towards the Fuxing!
……
More than half an hour later, when Higg returned to the location of the square tower again, Nicole said sadly to Higg: "Just now, there were more than a dozen remnants of pirates who attacked us, and several of the soldiers you brought were killed!" ”
Higg was stunned for a moment, looked at the seven or eight corpses on the ground, then glared at Nicole fiercely, and then said: "These soldiers fought bravely, died in the battle to capture the pirate leader, and they will be credited with a double pension!" ”
A soldier ran from the direction of the stockade, saluted Sig and Nicole, and said: "Lord of the city, Your Excellency the captain, the stockade has been cleared, eighty-three pirates have been killed, twenty-two have been captured, and thirty-six women and children have also been imprisoned in the stockade, please return to the stockade to deal with it!" ”
Higg asked, "How many casualties do we have?" ”
"With the addition of the seven people here, a total of sixteen people were killed in the battle, eight were seriously injured, and two were missing!" The soldier said.
"You immediately contact the deputy captain and ask him to gather in the stockade!" Higg said.
"Yes, Lord of the Castle!"
"Nicole, let's go to the stockade and let your people take an assault boat to carry these twenty or so boxes to the boat!" Higg said.
……
It was already dawn, and Higg and Nicole, who had returned to the stockade, happened to run into Aberto, who had come to meet up at the stockade.
"Captain!" "The pirates near the port have been cleared, kill the pirates......"
"General Aberto!" Higg said, "You just say our casualties! ”
Alberto looked embarrassed, staring at Higg and was about to get angry, Nicole hurriedly stepped forward and said: "General Alberto, although I am the captain of the ship, Mr. Higg is the master of the battleship, he is my boss, what's the situation, you just say it, it's not on the battleship now!" ”
"Mr. Higg, nine of our men were killed, six were seriously wounded, and two are missing!" ”
"General Aberto!" Higg said with a smile, "Don't get me wrong, you are the main general of the battlefield annihilation war, how many pirates you kill, how many prisoners, the general can report directly to your superiors, there is no need to tell us!" ”
Aberto was stunned, then his eyes flickered again, and he said with a smile: "What does Mr. Higg mean, I will take you to the pirate's lair?" ”
Higg smiled and said to Nicole, "Captain Nicole, is that so?" ”
Nicole also smiled and said: "A few days ago, we found that Captain Aberto was still leading all the sailors in the northern seas when the battleship was about to capsize, fighting alone, bravely killing the enemy, and inflicting heavy damage on the pirates, causing the five pirate ships to flee in fear! After our Fuxing rescue arrived, Captain Aberto was still indignant, vowed to destroy the pirate nest on Yaning Island, and ordered the Fuxing to attack Yaning Island at night, and recovered Yaning Island in one fell swoop three days later, burned 20 pirate ships, and captured three pirate ships, and captured the bandit leader alive! ”
Aberto stood up in surprise and said, "Is that really the case?" Where is the pirate boss? Where is the third Corsair? ”
"The third pirate ship has been towed back to port by the Fuxing, and the pirate leader is in custody on the Fuxing ship!" Higg laughed, "Captain Nicole also missed one point, which is the seizure of more than twenty boxes of dirty gold coins, and the three pirate ships along with them!" ”
"Mr. Higg, Captain Nicole, why are you doing this?" Alberto asked.
"General Aberto, your battleship has sunk and there is no war exploits, I'm afraid you will be very annoyed when you go back, right?" Higg smiled, "We are just volunteers, not part of the second legion sequence, and the merits of the battle are of little significance to us, general, don't worry too much!" ”
Aberto was silent, thought for a long time, and then said: "I have accepted the wishes of the two, but these twenty boxes of gold coins should be left for the two!" ”
"Destroying the pirate's lair and not seizing dirt, even the general himself doesn't believe it, right?" Higg smiled and said, "General, don't hesitate!" ”
Aberto thought for a moment and said, "In this way, if I take half of it, you will also take half of it, and I will be able to make a mistake, and you will not suffer in vain!" ”
Higg was about to refuse, but Nicole laughed and said, "I think if we don't take some, the general will not go, and you don't have to fight, Mr. Higg, we will take five boxes for the rewards and pensions of the soldiers, so be it!" ”
"How does this work? ……”
Higg smiled: "We have also made a friend, if the general can be blessed by misfortune this time, maybe we will need the general's help in the future!" ”
"Good!" Alberto hesitated for a moment, then said, "As long as I'm in the Second Legion, if Mr. Higg and Captain Nicole need my help, just ask!" Although I am soft-spoken, I still have the right to speak when it comes to naval affairs! ”
"That's what it means......"
