Chapter 180: Deck Confrontation
Huang Zheng stood on the boat and looked up at the behemoth in front of him from the bottom up, the barrels thicker than the mouth of the bowl were very hideous from this angle. Just as they were approaching the bottom of the battleship, a triple main gun suddenly opened fire, and the sound made Huang Zheng tremble, behind him was Mr. Bruders and the two marines rowing the boat, they were also shocked by the sound of the cannon, Bruders had never heard the cannon roar so closely, and the two marines even forgot to paddle for a moment.
Of course, the artillery was not directed at the Hou Yi to them. Instead, three columns of water exploded on the sea in the distance, but the meaning of this shelling was also clear, and it was a kind of deterrent.
The boat came to the side of the Red Cloud, and the sailors lowered the rope ladder from the boat. Huang Zheng did not use the flying technique, but climbed up the rope ladder. Bruders followed him.
Two Marines tied the boat to the big boat and climbed up with him.
Huang Zheng stepped onto the deck of the Red Cloud and found a group of soldiers with guns guarding both sides of the deck, and a man in his thirties who looked like an officer was waiting for him.
After the officer saw Huang Zheng's appearance clearly, he was obviously a little surprised. There are few black-haired and black-eyed people in the Western Continent, and Huang Zheng's appearance is very special in his opinion. Huang Zheng's costume is also very different from the locals, he wears a navy coat and a large-brimmed hat, which gives people a very handsome feeling.
Huang Zheng gave a military salute and said, "I am Colonel Huang Zheng of the Marine Corps Commander of the China Tower from the Eastern Continent. This time, I came as an envoy to meet the captain of the Red Cloud. β
"What? from the Eastern Continent? Marine Corps Colonel? What are you kidding? Aren't you pirates who have taken a cruise ship hostage and come here to negotiate?" said the officer, with obvious distrust in his tone, "Recently, the pirates on the nearby outer islands have been active again, and these scum have brought in some old ships and broken ships, equipped with some steam engines and old cannons, and they want to challenge our authority. I think your ship looks very similar. β
Hou Yi and Xingtian had already opened their cannon doors at this time, so as not to be caught off guard when the time came if they needed to fight. So it's really similar to what the officer said about the modified pirate ship.
At this time, Brudes, who was behind Huang Zheng, said: "Mr. Officer, I am Brudes, the secretary of the Sage of Misare, and I have a relationship with His Excellency MontaΓ±o, the commander of the Navy of El City. I can attest to the truth of what this gentleman is saying. They have come from the Eastern Continent across the Devil's Sea, and there is very important news for us to be informed. The evil god who had been sleeping on that continent for so many years was about to wake up. The forces of the two continents must be united against him. β
He saw the officer look at him with suspicion. He argued: "You can take a look at the appearance of this Mr. Huang Zheng, do we have such a person in the entire Western Continent? If you look at those two ships, as a navy, you should be most familiar with ships, have you ever seen such a style of ship in the Western Continent?" And do you see the white light curtain on that ship? The magic that is unique to the people of the Eastern Continent here! Some of them can also fight the devils instead of using the power of the devil to do evil. β
Bruders is very eloquent, and the points he says are difficult to refute. The officer said, "How did you meet them?"
"What shall I call you?" asked Brudes.
"I'm Captain Esselit of the Red Cloud. The officer put his hands behind his back and said, "Although your identity and intentions are suspicious, we still give you a chance to explain the situation." Yes, there is. β
Bruders said, "Mr. Ethelit, I met these ships from the East on the El Shield cruise ship on the route, they had just come out of the Devil's Sea a few days ago, and I have just explained their intentions. I consider this matter to be of great importance, so I have promised to show them the way, and to report their situation to the sages and the Holy Maidens. Now that the Red Cloud is involved in this matter, we hope that you will be able to bring us into the port, and I will take these people to have a good talk with His Excellency the Mayor. β
"Mr. Brudes, please don't interfere with our military's decisions. The navy has the responsibility to protect the entire Western Continent, for this group of people who claim to be from the Eastern Continent...... Whether they are a threat or not, and how they should be treated, is up to me to decide. β
Bruders touched a nail and looked a little ugly, but the warship was the other party's territory, and he didn't have anything to do. But he warned, "I'll be here to watch, Mr. Esselit, and now we have a good start with these visitors from the East, don't mess up." β
Ethelit ignored him, but said to Huang Zheng: "Although this person said that he has proved to you, it is not enough, even if I believe that you are from the Eastern Continent, what evidence do you have to prove that what you said about the gods and seeking support is true? How can it be proved that you have no other thoughts about the Western Continent?"
Ethelit paused: "We don't know much about the Eastern Continent, and there are rumors among the people that many of you have been polluted by demonic power. So there's no way I'm going to put your ship in port. If you really have something important to report to the big guys. Your ship must be seized by our navy, and your men must disembark to be monitored by us. Only after we have confirmed that we are safe will we be able to have you send representatives to meet those important people. β
In response to the other party's excessive demands, Huang Zheng slowly shook his head and said, "This is not your attitude towards possible partners, but towards prisoners. Who gave you the courage to say that?"
Ethelit smiled coldly and said: "Of course it's strength, I believe that in this world, whether it is in the Eastern Continent or the Western Continent, we all rely on strength to speak, our strength is stronger than yours, and naturally we will decide the direction of the next thing." β
Bruders warned: "Mr. Esselit, please don't talk like that, you are exacerbating the contradictions, it is dangerous. You don't know what kind of abilities these people in the Tower of China have. β
Ethelit patted the main gun beside him and said: "Strength is naturally reflected by the caliber of the cannon, and in this regard, our advantage is much greater. β
Huang Zheng raised his head at this time and glanced in the direction of Hou Yi and said, "Strength is not by saying, let's witness how each other's strength is?"
Esselit frowned and said, "What do you mean." β
Huang Zheng said: "Just now my companion informed me that we have found four real pirate ships in the southwest direction, and are chasing two merchant ships, they are coming in our direction, and they will pass by us to the south, so how about using these four pirate ships as targets to compare with each other?"
