Chapter 16: Sophistry
When Xu Mo was entangled with the big man Emilio, the black-haired young man Fernande gave up the pinch. After a brief encounter, he realized that their plan had failed, and the young man in the admiral's uniform in front of him was extremely powerful, and even if he joined forces with Emilio, he might not be able to subdue his opponent in a short time.
The two companions under the bridge estimated that they would not be able to support it for long, so he quickly changed the target of the hijacking and pounced on the only thin young man on the bridge who had not yet made a move. Someone who can stay on the bridge with the captain in combat should be an important person. Since the hope of victory is already relatively slim, it is necessary to at least gain some negotiating weight so that they can get out of the way.
However, the behavior of the black-haired young man completely angered Xu Mo, and for Xu Mo, Tie Lilie was his reverse scale. The reason why Xu Mo didn't let the rest of the old K group make a move naturally had his intentions. But if it was because of this, to let Tie Lilie be hijacked next to him, it would be a naked slap in the face.
"Ahh After observing the actions of the black-haired young man out of the corner of his eye, Xu Mo only felt a stream of heat rushing to his brain, and his eyes were bloodshot red, like two shining rubies, when the admiral's uniform draped over his body flew up.
The members of the old K Regiment under the bridge, Christina and Lilu who were fighting fiercely, and even some veteran sailors on the Vasa who had been living and dying for a long time, inexplicably felt a chill rising from the bottom of their hearts, and the pores of their whole bodies trembled, and they all looked up in horror at the man on the bridge who exuded a demon-like aura all over his body.
At this time, Xu Mo also had a novel experience, in the past, when he opened the "violent" talent or "burning will", the battle process would often be affected by his mood. However, when the "Burning Will" was turned on today, there was a cold chill flowing in the law's body, which cleared his mind, and his soul consciousness seemed to be separated from his body and floated above his body in the form of a bystander.
Xu Mo knew that this might be the change that the evil spirit energy brought to the law body in the fairy sword world. The benefits of this change are obvious, the consciousness is free from the influence of emotions, allowing him to be calmer during the battle and the use of combat skills more reasonable. However, the evil spirit energy is a very destructive energy, and although it has been integrated into the law body, I am afraid that it will also cause damage to his soul imprint.
Xu Mo's mind flashed like lightning and flint, and various simulated battle processes flashed, but he didn't immediately pounce on the black-haired youth. Just pulled the admiral's uniform on his body, threw it at the head of the big man behind him, and staggered under Emilio's feet, hooked his calf with his left foot, pressed the young man's thick shoulder with his left hand, restrained the enemy's arm to his abdomen with his right hand, and made a Tai Chi circle with both hands.
This is a judo technique that Xu Mo rarely uses again after gaining many high-level assassin skills-Sifang Throw.
Emilio, who was covered by the admiral's uniform, only felt that the sky was spinning, and his huge body involuntarily rose into the air and volleyed a somersault.
"Drink!" Xu Mo's eyes burst with a gleam, and before Emilio fell to the ground, his right hand stretched out and grabbed the big man's ankle in the air. With the force of his rolling, he leaned slightly, made a large circle with his right heel as the center, and threw Emilio out like a hammer throw.
"Bang!" Emilio's weight combined with the power of rotation, the huge body of the big man smashed on the back of the black-haired young man like a cannonball, and the two of them suddenly turned into rolling hoists, directly smashed through the railing on the bridge, and fell off the deck.
"Oh......" When the two of them recovered from their vertigo, they found that they had several sharp sailor knives on their chests. However, they were not the only captives, and the other two companions not far away, Lilu and Camille, were also surrounded by Viking sailors at this time, and they raised their hands with a wry smile, and had already surrendered one step ahead of schedule.
"Are you alright?" Xu Mo closed his eyes and calmed down for a moment, then turned his head to Tie Lilie and asked.
"I ...... I'm fine! Tie Lilie's face turned a little pale, and he lowered his head and muttered twice.
Xu Mo's appearance like a demon just now really scared him a little. In fact, Tie Lilie's courage is not small, but it is always a little uneasy to see a familiar person suddenly change into a different look.
"Alfred, Lord Alfred, the ...... Do you remember us? A melodious female voice like a yellow warbler sounded under the bridge, "We are ......"
"Of course I do, President Argot!" Xu Mo walked to the edge of the bridge with a flat face, leaned on the guardrail, and nodded to Lilu below.
"Lilu, do you know this pirate captain? Ahem! The black-haired young man Fernand sat on the ground, coughed violently twice, and reached out to wipe the blood from his mouth. The impact of the big young Emilio just now had caused some injuries to his internal organs, and now his body burned like fire.
"He's not a real pirate, and you probably haven't heard of his real name, but the Vestelos Triumvirate, you should have heard of it, right?" Lilu and Camille glanced at each other with a wry smile.
"Is he Hedram, the Silver Eagle of the North Sea, or Gerhardt, the Inquisitor?" Fernande was taken aback, as a Spanish seaman, he had certainly heard of the Vistelos Triumvirate.
In fact, before the Battle for Supremacy in the North Sea, the name of the "Silver Eagle of the North Sea" Hedram had already circulated among sailors in major seaports in the North Sea. In the aftermath of the Battle for Supremacy in the North Sea, one of the surviving English sailors drew on memory to paint the charge of the Vistelos.
In this painting depicting a real naval battle, the three men standing on the bow of the Vistellos, Admiral Hedram, First Officer Gerhardt, and Boatswain Alfred, are affectionately known by Viking sailors as the Vikings Triumvirate.
With the Hedram Hell God and the Vestelos in Gerhardt, hunting merchant ships of Catholic countries across the oceans, the resounding title of the Triumvirate of Vestelos has gradually spread to seaports around the world.
Compared with the "North Sea Silver Eagle" with a bold personality, Gerhardt, who has a strict style and does not smile, has also won the nickname of "Inquisitor" for himself in previous naval battles.
"No, he's the last of the Vestellos Triumvirate who hasn't had any news of a naval battle in the past few years, and Alfred K. Anderson, the stormtrooper of the Vestelos!" "He and we met in Amsterdam once, and as soon as I saw him, I knew it wasn't going to work. Because among the rumors about the Triumvirate of Vestelos, he is the only one known for his bravery and personal martial arts! ”
"In the case of this ship, it seems that we should be his first prey, which is really bad luck!" Camille next to him said helplessly.
"Hee-hee, that's not necessarily!" Lilu's big eyes flickered smartly, revealing a sly sweet smile, "Camille, have you forgotten?" Admiral Hedlam and we have signed an agency agreement......"
"Lord Alfred, Sweden and the Netherlands are not hostile countries, and Admiral Hedram once had a proxy agreement with us, so why are you plundering us?" Lilu explained a few words to a few companions, and then immediately looked up at Xu Mo, puffing out her cheeks and shouting.
"Who said they were going to plunder you, your ship is still intact! You must know that it was not us who started the battle, I was very friendly to invite you to come on board for tea, and it was these two companions of yours who wanted to kidnap me, and this battle was triggered! Xu Mo's eyes narrowed, and he quibbled confidently.
Hearing the words of his admiral, many sailors on the Vasa rolled their eyes, this is already a lie!
"You...... You're raising the pirate flag! Lilu's face instantly turned red, and she was angry.
"Don't care so much about the details! The truth is that you did it first! Xu Mo pursed his lips.
"I'm sorry about that!" Lilu gritted her teeth fiercely, "Since it was just a small misunderstanding, and there were no casualties among the sailors, may I ask Your Excellency Alfred if you can let us go back!" ”
"I'll let you go, but not now." Xu Mo glanced at the Dutch girl and said flatly, "Our mission this time is very important, and we need to keep the route secret. Originally, I was going to feed you all to the sharks, but since you still have cooperation with Admiral Hedlam, let's be a guest on the Vasa first. When we return, we will naturally let you go back. ”
"No way!" Lilu's face turned pale, and she shouted loudly, "Our ship is not a warship, so we can't participate in your naval operations. And we are a chamber of commerce, if it is known that we are still pretending to be pirates and privateering, how will the Argotic Chamber of Commerce do business in the future! ”
"Well, that makes sense!" Xu Mo nodded and showed a smile, "Since this is the case, there is only one solution......
