The sky was blue, and Seaton stood on the side of the ship with a double-edged axe. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, according to the requirements of the ship, Seaton does not have to be like this, after all, sea navigation is different from land, if there are pirates approaching, there is no way to hide in the vast sea, and the crew has enough time to react.

Suddenly there was a seabird chirping in the sky, and Seaton raised his head and squinted, only to see a large bird hovering in the southern sky.

"I didn't think there were seabirds preying here...... No!" After a moment's thought, Seaton woke up suddenly.

The route is still a long way from the Starr Islands, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible to see seabirds.

Immediately, Sidon quickly entered the cabin, found Captain Pease, and told him everything he had found.

Pease was worthy of being an old captain, and after hearing what Sidon said, he quickly reacted correctly.

The ship suddenly became busy, and the guards performed their duties, and all entered a state of alert.

After a few moments of seabirds in the air, a dive vanished.

After a while, there were shadows on the sea in the distance, and there seemed to be sails. As time passed, three seagoing vessels came into view.

Although it is uncertain whether the three ships were pirates, judging by Pease's extensive experience, it is likely that he will not be wrong.

The speed at which the opponent is approaching you is very fast, which is just in line with the fast speed of the pirate ship. Often, in order to be able to quickly approach the target ship, the Corsair will usually reduce its own weight, sacrifice some of its defenses, and blindly pursue speed. And the speed of a merchant ship sailing on the sea, due to the fact that it is full of cargo, is simply not comparable.

Pease's eyes froze, and he shouted, "All ready!"

Everyone knows how notorious the pirates in the vicinity of the Starr Islands are, and if they are targeted, they will not be lucky, and they are ready to fight to the death.

"Captain, do you want to keep the other party away!" the first mate suddenly said to Pease.

Pease looked at his first mate with a strange expression.

Even a character as calm as Sidon almost burst out laughing on the sidelines, did this first mate come out to adjust the atmosphere? Flag with pirates to keep them away? How naïve people must be, how unreliable their thinking must be.

Sidon dared to make a guarantee, if he really played the flag to keep the pirates away, then the other party would definitely agree, and the speed and direction of the voyage would not change at all, and then burn and loot, and spread this stupid practice as a joke on the wine table.

Looking at the first mate, whose legs were weak and his lips trembled slightly, Pease sighed and said, "Cham, I don't know what you have to do with the above, the first time you went to sea, you were arranged to be the first mate on my ship. Remember, no matter where you are in the future, as long as you eat at sea, you must remember that merchants and pirates are natural enemies, and there is no room for compromise when they meet each other. Pease's tone changed from calm to stern, and finally to seren.

"But there are so many pirates, what are we going to do? Looking at the approaching pirate ship in the distance, the first mate Chammu faintly felt a hint of urine.

Captain Pease laughed loudly when he heard this, and then shouted in a loud voice: "Brothers, tell our first mate what to do if we encounter pirates!"

"Kill!" ...... "Kill!" ...... "Kill!"

The crew roared with flushed faces, and they were angry.

Chham, on the other hand, was startled by the sudden shout, and he, who was already weak in his legs, sat on the deck with his ass.

Looking at such an unbearable first mate, Pease's eyes were full of disdain.

"Lower the sails!"

"The rangefinder measures the distance once every half a minute!"

"Ballista ready!"

"The enemy ships entered a distance of five hundred meters and fired two fire bombs per gun emplacement, followed by crossbow bolts. ”

"The archers are on alert, and the enemy ships come within range to make their own decisions. ”

"All the crew, get ready for a broadside battle! Let those pirate cubs know that the Green Olive Chamber of Commerce is not to be humiliated!"

As orders were issued from Pease, the atmosphere on the ship became more and more solemn.

"Ranging, five thousand meters. ”

......

"Ranging, 1,200 meters. ”

As the rangefinder shouted out the distance again and again, everyone on the ship could clearly see the scarlet skulls painted on the bulging sails.

No one bothered the first mate, Cham, who was limp on the ground, and they all held their breath and prepared for the battle that was coming.

"Ranging, five hundred meters. ”

As soon as the rangefinder finished speaking, the ballista ignited the incendiary grenades that had been prepared, and flew towards the three pirate ships with a whistling sound.

Seeing all the incendiary bombs entering the sea, Pease's expression remained unchanged, it was all expected, if it really hit, it was the care of Lady Luck.

After the two flame shells of each gun position were fired, some solid shells were scattered from the opposite side, but without incident, all of them landed on the sea around the merchant ship.

When there were still about two hundred meters away, the giant crossbow bolt finally made a meritorious service. A giant crossbow bolt with the thickness of an arm shot the mast of one of the pirate ships, and the speed of the pirate ship, which had lost power, suddenly slowed down. And because the pirate ship itself is lightweight, the mast that hangs on the sea surface slowly tilts towards the sea with the pirate ship.

The pirates on the pirate ship, hiding in the shadows to avoid their bows and crossbows, rushed out in a hurry, intending to lift the mast that had fallen on the deck down to sea.

Seeing this, Pease was overjoyed and shouted, "Concentrate on the fire, leave the other two ships alone, and shoot these pirate scraps for me." ”

Seeing that their companions were in trouble, the other two pirate ships did not react and still rushed at full speed.

Lady Luck didn't favor the Green Olive Chamber of Commerce again, and only a few of the next crossbow bolts went deep into the deck, not causing too much trouble to the pirate ship again.

As the distance got closer, the giant crossbow had lost its meaning. Seeing that the other party had stopped firing their giant crossbows, the pirates boarded the bow of the ship one after another and fired at the Green Olive Chamber of Commerce, preparing for a broadside battle.

In the face of the coming fierce war, Sidon has no fear, no excitement, only the spirit of contract of cannibalism and loyalty.

In Sidon's view, the fearless snatching of interests, whether it is the chamber of commerce or the pirate side, is because of desire, and it does not matter whether it is noble or despicable.

Chambers of commerce have a desire to increase their wealth, which is why they trade. Pirates have a desire to enjoy money without working, so they will rob it.

Both are transferring and redistributing wealth, but in different ways.

Thinking of the sacrifices made by his people to survive, Sidon's complicated feelings were indescribable.
