An Rui's closed eyes suddenly opened, and his heart twitched violently.

A small boat!

This is exactly what the Scarlet Shark has been looking for, and if this small ship were a merchant ship, Shafi would not hesitate to do it.

"Damn, I just ran into a small boat at this juncture!" An Rui scolded secretly, propped himself up, and turned back to observe the situation.

The rest of the pirates also rushed to the bow of the ship, looking at the sea with the naked eye, hoping to find the so-called small ship. At some point, the whistle stopped, replaced by a chaotic commotion, with greed and anger in the sound.

The door to the captain's room opened, and Shafi walked briskly out of it, apparently hearing movement outside. Her eyes gleamed with excitement, and the corners of her bright red lips were faintly smiling. Halfway through, she leaped forward, grabbed a rope that hung in mid-air, and climbed along the rope to the beam where the sail was suspended, moving with three points more dexterity than a monkey.

Even An Rui has to admire Sha Fei's skills, this kind of difficult action is not something that anyone can do. In terms of strength, Sha Fei, a seemingly delicate woman, is far above him, even if he inspires the wrath of the dragon's blood, there is no way to defeat Sha Fei.

Shafi climbed all the way to the top truss thirty yards high, removed the retractable telescope hanging from her waist, stretched it to the limit, and looked up at the sea at one o'clock.

An Rui raised his head and looked nervously at Sha Fei from above, his breathing becoming more and more rapid, for fear of hearing the attack order.

Once Shafi announces an attack on that small ship, he will be in a dilemma, and whether he makes a move or not, he will get into big trouble.

He didn't want to kill innocents, mutilate strangers he had never met, and he didn't want to disobey Shafi's orders and cause death.

"God forbid...... God bless ......" An Rui prayed frantically in his heart, and before he knew it, cold sweat had broken out in his palms.

It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes.

After holding the binoculars and observing them for a while, Shafei put down the binoculars, lowered her head and shouted crisply below: "Brothers, the prey is here, get ready for battle!" Load the shells, get the portholes, grappling hooks, and weapons ready! This small boat looks easy to deal with, hopefully we'll be back loaded today! ”

As soon as these words came out, An Rui's heart sank all of a sudden, all the way to the bottom. What he feared most finally happened.

Unlike Anrui, who was silent, the pirates around him became extremely excited when they heard that they had encountered the right prey, some of them were gearing up, and some of them were cheering.

"Hooray! Finally the prey has appeared! ”

"Damn, after waiting for so many days, I finally ran into a small boat, I must grab more money today."

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm going to get my weapon!"

There was a sudden chaos on the open deck, and everyone followed suit, and no one was idle except for An Rui.

Many people enter and exit through the gangway, and those who enter do not know where the passage has gone, and those who come out all come out with something in their hands, some holding grappling hooks made of hooks and ropes, and some holding bows and arrows with quenched poison or animal oil. These are the weapons used by pirates, and they can be very useful in the process of hijacking ships.

The grappling hook hooks an enemy ship, allowing the pirate to fly to the enemy ship like a swing. Arrows stained with animal oil can be set on fire and shot at the canvas of an enemy ship, burning it. When a sailboat loses its canvas, it loses power, its speed is greatly reduced, and it becomes a lamb to be slaughtered.

The pirates' weapons and tools are much more than that, each of which is useful and can be used in raiding operations.

The pirates aboard the Scarlet Shark were clearly veterans, and they were quickly ready for battle, with those with positions at their posts and those without positions standing in a group on the open deck with weapons in hand. On the second deck, all the gunners were already in place, and when the captain gave the order, they would push the gun door open and push the muzzle of the black hole out.

As for the third deck, it was already empty at this time, and the figure of half of the pirate could not be seen. Even the laziest pirate would not dare to sleep at this time.

"Anrui, the battle is about to begin, why don't you pull out your weapon yet? Are you scared? A provocative voice rang out from the crowd, speaking from Karl, who had a holiday with Anrui.

These words were hard to hear, but they struck at An Rui's heart. He was really scared, afraid to face that dilemma.

Killing or being killed, none of what he wanted.

Seeing that An Rui was silent, the pirates around Carl followed suit, laughing at An Rui and imposing titles such as cowards and cowards on An Rui's head.

Seeing this, Shafi jumped down from the crossbar, grabbed the rope hanging in mid-air, and slid down the rope to the ground.

"Anrui, take courage, and don't forget the little agreement between us." Shafi leaned over to An Rui and said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I'll pluck up my courage." An Rui barely squeezed out a smile and nodded.

Sophie blinked her left eye, gave Ann Rui a flash, and then deftly returned to the mast. She continued to observe the approaching small ship, directing her own movements, ordering a rapid approach to the small ship that was about to fall into disgrace.

Anrui still stood alone, in stark contrast to the eager pirates around her.

No matter how difficult that decision was, he had to make a choice and couldn't wait any longer.

This is the choice between killing and being killed, and at the same time the choice between good and evil, like a leather whip, which tortures his conscience and principles fiercely.

After some fierce struggle, his uncertain eyes finally became firm, and his pupils condensed into dots, flashing with a domineering gaze.

"Qiang ......," he pulled out the black iron-grade sword hanging from his waist.

The blade of the sword is so sharp that even the iron ring of the chain armor can be easily cut, let alone tear apart the flesh and skin of a person. Swords need to drink blood, and the cacophony of the blade rubbing against the scabbard is like a cruel scream thirsting for blood.

With a sword in hand, Anrui walked into the crowd of pirates and stood with them. The pirates put an end to their sarcasm, believing that Anrui would fight with them and participate in the raids.

But the pirates were all wrong!

Although Anrui's people stood here, their hearts drifted to the unknown small ship. He did not intend to be in league with the pirates, but intended to be on the side of relative justice, fighting alongside the men of the small ship.

Refusing to burn, kill, loot, and indiscriminately kill innocents is his final decision.

It's a dangerous decision, and it's sure to anger the entire ship's pirates, making him the target of public criticism. No one else needs to do it, just Sha Fei alone can take his life.

He knew the danger, but he still did it, which was in line with his character and his principles.

He will not succumb to the lust of pirates, or the temptation of beauty, and become the executioner of innocent people.

No matter when and where, he will never abandon his conscience and the bottom line of being a man.

Armray clenched his sword, ready for battle like the pirates around him, and once the battle began, he would turn against him and help the people of the small ship. It will be a very dangerous battle, far more dangerous than the series of duels a few days ago.

The hand holding the sword overflowed with a lot of sweat, but fortunately, the hilt of the sword was wrapped with strips of cloth to absorb the sweat, otherwise it would have to slip when it was time to move.

The other pirates were also gearing up, their fighting spirits were quite high, and they kept roaring with excitement. The flag bearer has prepared the pirate flag with a red shark and a black skull, and will fly it at the captain's command.

After all, piracy is an illegal business, and it will be attacked by the navies of various countries. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, when the Scarlet Shark sails on weekdays, all the pirate flags are hidden, and only when it is officially started, the pirate flags will be hoisted.

Not only the Scarlet Shark, but other pirate groups will also choose this approach. For pirates, the pirate flag is like the teeth of a beast, which is not shown on weekdays, and only when it is in battle, it will show its hideousness!

"Brothers, get ready, that ship is getting closer and closer to us, and if it goes well, we will meet in two minutes! This distance is close enough, let me look at their flags, judge where they came from, and hope that the ship comes from a small country that is weak and incompetent. Shafi was still standing on the mast beam, holding up the binoculars to watch.

The pirates below are waiting with anticrative antiquation for Shafi's answer, which is very important to them.

This is a dangerous sea, and they can't just find a ship to start with, but have to find a soft persimmon to pinch.

If it was an ordinary small merchant ship with no background, they would definitely attack without hesitation, and if it was a ship with a background, then they would have to weigh it carefully.

"Oh, damn it! This is no ordinary merchant ship, they fly the flag of the 'Academy of Tears of the Stars'! At last, Shafi saw the flag of the small boat, cursed angrily, and stomped her foot.

When the pirates below heard this, they were all taken aback and let out all kinds of sighs.

It's no wonder they're surprised, the Academy of Tears of the Stars is a typical hard bone, and it's not something they can provoke.

The Academy of Tears of the Stars is not an ordinary academy, but a magic academy, which teaches not language or mathematics, but magic! In this academy, from teachers to apprentices, all are real wizards, and almost everyone can perform magic.

In this world, magic is one of several powerful powers, and it has extremely strong destructive power, which is not something that ordinary people can compete with. A magic fire charge is even more powerful than most cannons, and it only takes one to blast the ship through a large hole.

If that ship was really the ship of the Tears of the Stars Academy, no matter how small it was, the pirates would not dare to run over and provoke it.

Unlike the surprised pirates, Anrui showed an unconcealable joy when he learned the news, which was definitely great news for him. If it had been the ship of the Tears of the Stars, the pirates would have avoided it, and there would have been no fighting.

He doesn't have to make difficult choices, he doesn't have to kill, he doesn't have to be killed, and it couldn't be better!

However, just a flag doesn't mean anything, anyone can make a flag, and the Scarlet Shark can also make a flag of the Tears of the Stars Academy to hang and use the name of the Tears of the Stars Academy to scare people. This kind of scare tactic is what those small merchant ships are used to.

To further verify this, Shafi did not order a diversion or slow down, but continued to move closer to the small boat.

On the sea, the two ships walked opposite each other, getting closer and closer.
