Chapter 137: So "Keeping Promises"
"Boss, let's run, the other party has a magic ship, we are not opponents!"
A pockmarked naval soldier on the prey's ship looked at his commander with a sad face, and although he did not recognize the pirate's flag, he could also see that his side had no chance of winning.
"Smack!"
The captain of the navy slapped him hard, he actually wanted to run, but he didn't want to be sorry for his military uniform, even if he knew that he would die in this battle, he still chose to fight.
Next, a scene that made the pirates jaw-dropping appeared, just now the battleship where the captain was actually playing an offensive flag, this, is this enough to live?
"Be brave, my soldiers, the other party is the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Regiment, we can't run away even if we want to, instead of letting this group of pirates see the joke, it's better to buy time for the three grain ships to escape!" The captain's eyes were firm, but the expression on his face looked very helpless, his family knew his own affairs, and with the strength of his kingdom's navy, he wanted to compete head-on with the Dragon Tooth Pirate Regiment, which was no different from looking for death, if he could live, he certainly wanted to live, but he was a navy after all, and his sense of mission as a soldier made him unable to give the order to leave the grain ship and run away first.
However, if he wants to desperately keep the grain ship, is it worth his life for the people on the grain ship?
"Damn it! Throw me all this grain into the sea, go! Throw it at me!" Almost all of the three grain ships were carrying similar dramas, and these people in charge were all quartermasters of this kingdom, and they were used to deducting military quarters and salaries, and they were pampered one by one, and they did not have the qualities that a soldier should have, and it was even more appropriate to call them ruffians in military uniforms rather than call them soldiers.
After all, the kingdom's navy is inferior to the imperial navy, but not every navy has a bottom line like the captain just now.
Even if some grain is dropped, ordinary medium-sized ships are not as fast as battleships that want to chase after them, although the wind direction is downwind, but they are downwind, and the pirate ships that chase them in the same direction are also downwind, and even the speed of the pirate ship is even greater than that of the grain carrier.
Sojes didn't plan to leave any way for these five ships to live, the Snow Fox released its ability when it entered the attack range, and the two battleships were directly trapped by the ice, Mo said that they didn't want to escape, even if they wanted to evacuate now, they couldn't do it, and the ships that lost their ability to move were like fixed targets and were hit by the Xianglong, and finally they were approached by the Snow Fox, which could break the ice, and the surviving naval soldiers were also killed by pirates.
Although the grain ship was lucky not to be overtaken, it endured greater fear, and every shot of the impact arrow would make them scared to death, and the shelling of the other two battleships was also surprisingly accurate today, first blowing off the mast of one ship with one cannon, and then hitting the other two ships one after another, which did not have an advantage in speed, and now lost the hope of escaping.
In less than half an hour, the five ships sank and sank, and the quartermaster officers on the three ships shouted a sentence in exchange for a ransom at the moment when the pirates took over the shipwreck, and the luck of escaping death made the three wine bags and rice bags frightened almost incontinent, and their spineless performance made the pirates laugh at it, and the piercing laughter made them unable to lift their heads that they were eager to lift to the sky.
The bags of grain on the three grain ships were carried back to the ship by the pirates, and when the Xianglong approached, a group of pirates escorted the three captives onto the main ship, and as soon as they boarded the ship, the three men knelt down in unison.
"Friend, you...... Ahh
One quartermaster tried to explain something, but before he could say a few words, he was kicked to the ground by the pirate next to him, and immediately let out a howl like killing a pig, "Damn! who is your friend, call the regimental leader!" The pirate scolded and kicked the fellow, and the other two quartermasters trembled in horror, and their bodies trembled like chaff.
"Yes, yes, the regiment commander is our misnomer, we want to know, regiment commander, did you choose the wrong target? How could a wise and martial person like you, the regiment commander, choose our grain convoy to attack? I think, is there some misunderstanding?"
Although the beaten quartermaster hated these pirates to death, he had a flattering look on his face, and if Sogers announced that he could live, he would probably lick Sogers's boots like a dog.
"Grain ship?"
Sojes was indeed stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Pod, who was in charge of carrying the supplies, who nodded at him, indicating that the man was not lying.
Well, after wasting so much effort, he actually grabbed a batch of grain, I knew that it would be better to intercept the ship, and how much money would this grain be worth! Sojes wanted to cry without tears, and he was in a bad mood, so he didn't have the heart to discuss the ransom issue, just kidding, after committing such a thing, how could they go back and continue to be officials? And they who have lost their official positions are no different from waste to the family, this quartermaster has this face, and their family is estimated to be no better, where will they spend extra ransom for waste?
"Give you a chance, of the three of you, I will only let one go back, and the other two will ...... Huh?"
As soon as Sorges said the word "go back", one of the quartermasters, who did not speak, snatched the pirate's knife, and before he could finish speaking, he stabbed his colleague in the heart next to him, and the quartermaster who had been communicating with Sorgeth in front of him was also stabbed in the throat by the oncoming knife before he could react.
"Dangchang"
The knife in his hand fell on the deck, and the surviving quartermaster showed the same flattering smile as his previous companion's face, and said grovelly: "Commander, I know that you have always kept your promises, ......what do you think?"
The corners of Sojes' mouth twitched a little, he originally wanted to see how these three quartermasters fought for a place to live, but he didn't expect that this surviving person would be so ruthless!
Before Sojers could speak, Ridtier drew his weapon with a gloomy face, and walked towards the shameless villain with a murderous look.
"Tuan, Commander, you, you said you would spare my life!"
The quartermaster's face turned white with fright, and Riddier's very simple face seemed to him to be no different from the devil, and he wanted to retreat, but his legs fell off the chain on the spot, and he sat down on the ground with a "poof".
"Riddier, UU read the book .c step aside, I said he would be spared. Sojes waved his hand calmly, and although Ridier was unwilling, he would not be stupid enough to disobey the commander's order, and with a heavy snort, he withdrew the blade in his hand.
Before the quartermaster could breathe a sigh of relief, Sojes showed a playful smile, "However, if I don't give you a chance to vent, my regimental commander is too unkind, Riddil, you go and carve a few words on his face with a knife, which read, in order to live, kill your colleagues." Well, that's enough for those words, and then put down a small boat for him, oh, I remember that there were such little rafts on these grain carriers, well, and give him a bag of grain, a bucket of water, and let him go. ”
After saying this, the pirates immediately burst into laughter, this hand is not virtuous enough, although this quartermaster will not die in the hands of pirates, but the sea is so big, like the quartermaster's physical fitness wants to take a raft back to land? This is simply delusional, even if he can get away with going back, when the people of the kingdom see the words engraved on his face, and then think of the grain fleet that has not returned before, they will also know what is going on, it can be said that the probability of his death is infinitely close to 100%.
Demons! This man is definitely a demon! The quartermaster roared loudly in his heart, and the gloating smiling faces of the pirates seemed so hideous to him at the moment, he didn't want to die, his original quality of life was better than most people, how could he accept this result?
