Chapter 56: Sacrifice and Burial at Sea

Seeing Selena jump into the sea, Ahan sighed, looked at Dinah, who had already come to the cabin, hesitated and asked, "Pastor Dinah and Lord Alfred are from the same place!" ”

"Yes!" Dinah glanced at Xu Mo and replied softly.

After receiving Dinah's affirmative answer, Ahan took a deep breath, shook his head, and turned to leave, no longer looking at Xu Mo and Dinah.

Ahan was able to stop Selena's sneak attack on Gelhardt just now, the reason is very simple, it was Dinah who followed Xu Mo's instructions and connected her true mind to Ahan's soul mark at that moment, so Ahan had the opportunity to "see" Selena's sword.

The person who can be vigilant against Selena all the time is only possible for Xu Mo, who is in a hostile relationship with Selena in the ammunition compartment, that is to say, it was Xu Mo who informed Dinah in advance and asked her to connect her true heart to Ahan. This does not prove that these two people already have a leg, and Ahan will have a brain in vain.

"Boss, I don't understand why Ahan chose to block Selena's sneak attack at that time!" Dinah asked suspiciously, in the soul imprint.

"Dinah, have you heard of birdcage logic?" Xu Mo smiled slightly, "If a gorgeous empty birdcage is hung in the most conspicuous place in the room, then it won't be long before its owner either buys a bird and puts it in the birdcage, or throws away the birdcage!" ”

"I've heard of it, because every guest who comes to his house asks him when the bird died and why. No matter how he explains, the guests will feel strange, what do you do with a birdcage if you don't keep birds? In the end, he will even think that the owner of the bird cage has a problem with his brain, so he has to buy another bird to raise, or throw away the bird cage! Dinah nodded.

"Birdcage logic is a kind of habitual thinking, and habitual thinking will inevitably lead to chained habitual surname ~ behavior. Ahan is an MT, and most of the time he rushes to the front, but MT also relies on his comrades the most. Because since he invests most of his strength in defense, he is destined to not be too strong in attack power to deal with the enemy alone. Therefore, any MT has a very deep affection for his comrades and the team, and it is impossible to tolerate the existence of betrayal! Xu Mo said lightly.

"That's why you signed that strange agreement with Ahan, to get him used to the relationship between his superiors and subordinates on the Vestelos, and then to give him the benefits of integrating into the team of the Vestelos...... Dinah said bitterly, "Boss, your plan is getting more and more powerful, you couldn't guess it before, and even if you guess it now, you can't get rid of it!" ”

"It's not just me who does it, the captains of the Vestelos have this charisma, and I'm just taking advantage of it. Once Ahan is attracted to this team, he will be accustomed to calling himself the MT of the Vestelos, and will definitely not ignore the killing of Gerhardt.

What's more, Selena has a competitive relationship with Ahan, and it is unlikely that she will tell Arhan in advance that the Cross Sword is a transfer item, and killing Gerhardt is her prop mission. By mistake, Ahan will inevitably intercept Selena's attacks in a habitual manner, and the break between the two is inevitable. If Ahan hadn't done that, I'd have had to intercept Selena. Xu Mo said with a sneer.

"Boss, now should we recruit Ahan, such a powerful MT is ...... for the team," Dinah said with a deep sigh.

"Ahan won't come, even though he has broken with Selena, but what we're doing is also a deception." Xu Mo sighed, his eyes flashed, "What's more, even if MT wants to join our team, I won't relax the standards for team members!" ”

"Samsara 228, you have completed the commission of the Earl of Essex, and the rare treasure of the leisure world, "Gallic Wars", has become your exclusive treasure, which can be stored in the storage space and brought out of the leisure world."

"Hint: Samsara No. 228 meets the job equipment requirements of the treasure, and the Boxer profession does not conflict with the Stormtrooper position, and "Gallic Wars" can be used as a transfer prop for the Boxer profession!"

After Clifford jumped overboard, the occupation of the Hell God came to an end, and despite Selena's betrayal, Gerhart did not interrogate Selena's companion Ahan, or even ask him about the crosssword. It's just that he and Hedram came out of the ammunition bay one after another and began to direct the sailors to clean up the Hell God in detail.

Xu Mo was about to follow everyone out of the cabin, but saw a Viking man standing in front of the hole in the ammunition cabin, looking at the sea and being silent for a long time. Xu Mo sighed, walked to his side, and patted Dahan on the shoulder.

"Let's go, Frieza!"

"He's a brave ...... I don't ...... lad Curse him with the others......" Frieza said with a shudder of her shoulders.

"It's not your fault alone, I'm also responsible...... Well, stop crying, Hurd will laugh at you! Xu Mo whispered.

"Lord Alfred, there was a moment when I wanted to do the same thing as Hurd, but ...... Damn feet but disobedient! Frieza turned her head, her face covered with tears and snot, her scar curled into a ball, and the fierce Viking man was crying like a child.

"Christ Jesus will forgive us for our offenses against Hurd!" Originally, he wanted to persuade Frieza again, but Xu Mo finally closed his mouth and accompanied Frieza to quietly look at the sea.

"Boss, come on, little Blakeney...... " Dinah cried out in panic in the soul sigil.

……

"He's for you...... We did this a total of five shellings, each time he ...... were all shocked and vomited blood, and then ...... Get up again and get on the barrel! The remaining gunners, who were only a few left, choked up and said to the officers who had arrived.

Blakeney lay peacefully on the deck, a peaceful smile on his face. The uniform fabric on his chest had turned into shattered charcoal, and his chest was sunken in a large patch, and the skin and muscles on his chest were pitch black, emitting a faint white smoke, like a charred steak, emitting a burnt smell.

"His sternum was almost completely shattered, and his mouth was full of fragments of internal organs, I don't know how he endured the pain until the end of the battle." Manuel shook her head uncomfortably.

"Originally, we wanted to replace Lord Blackburn, but he stopped us, he said that it was the officer's responsibility, maybe after the first shelling, he had already suffered heavy losses, but he didn't want to add another victim!" A gunner wiped his eyes and said.

"Did he say anything when he died?" Hedram grabbed his triangular navy hat and said softly.

"No, he just asked us if the battle was won!" An old gunner replied softly, "After we told him the news of the victory, he died laughing." ”

"Maybe it's another trick on the little one's part, and he'll get up and keep scaring me with an axe!" Charlie said with a smile, turning his back and trembling slightly.

"He's only fourteen years old......" Dinah threw herself into Xu Mo's arms and sobbed.

Looking at Blakeney's corpse, Xu Mo felt his heart twitch constantly, streams of blood rushed to his brain, and his mouth was full of bitterness. Xu Mo knelt down on one knee gloomily and helped the deceased young man tidy up his appearance, his hand had just touched the young man's corpse, and his eyes lit up.

The huge surprise from the soul mark made Xu Mo feel a little dizzy, his hands trembled and he continued to help the young man tidy up his appearance, but he had already made several major choices in his mind, and when he stood up again, his face had regained calm.

……

The cleaning and repair of the two damaged warships lasted two days, mainly repairing the main mast and several large holes in the hull of the Hellgod. Early in the morning of the third day, they finally finished their repair work and were about to set sail again.

They wanted to take advantage of the fact that the news of the polar naval battle had not yet been fully spread and confirmed, and first returned to the Nordic port of Oslo, secretly transmitted the news of the victory back to Sweden, and at the same time completely repaired the two warships. Because they are about to prepare for a pirate career in the next few years, and they don't know when they will be able to return to their hometown of Stockholm again. However, they had one last thing to do before they set sail.

Everyone on the battleship stood on the deck, took off their sailor hats, and lowered their heads to silently look at the rows of corpse cloth packages on the deck.

"Hallowed be thy name, our Father in heaven, and thy kingdom come...... For all is yours in the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, Amen.

Robert Hughes, sailor.

Simon Peter, Sail Cabler.

Kaye, artillery non-commissioned officer.

Jia Saeki, 1st Class Sailor.

……

Hurd Kuba, 1st Class Sailor.

Blakeney Bruce ...... Three mates.

We are here to bury their bodies in the sea, to let their flesh decay, and wait for the sea to raise them from the dead and have eternal life in the kingdom of heaven, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen! ”

As Dinah's last prayer fell, the sailors began to throw the bodies of their comrades wrapped in canvas into the sea, and in this naval battle, the Vistelos lost more than 100 people, including two officers and three non-commissioned officers.

This is mainly because the resistance of the Hell God is too stubborn, if it is a naval battle under normal circumstances, the loss of personnel on one side reaches a certain level, and it will no longer choose to resist. However, almost all of the English sailors on the Hell God were killed, and the last prisoner of the 300-strong battleship was less than 50, and all of them were wounded.

One has to marvel at the charisma of the North Sea Lions and the bravery of the English Navy, and it is no wonder that the English will be able to dominate the world's oceans for hundreds of years in the future.

After the sad burial at sea, Hedram began to reward the meritorious personnel of the battle, and although Xu Mo once again showed bravery in this battle, he was not the one who contributed the most......
