Chapter 43: Thieves and Pirates
"Pirate, pirate!" was a cacophony on deck, and Elizabeth nervously commanded the crew, the enemy ship's gunfire had already sunk Elizabeth's ship. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Elizabeth still wanted to make a final struggle to get the ship out of the encirclement, but the enemy's encirclement was so tight that Elizabeth couldn't do anything, and when the enemy's rope hooked Elizabeth's ship, everyone knew it was over.
"All ready! "Ready!" exclaimed Elizabeth, and not a single member of the crew flinched, and everyone drew their weapons and prepared for the battle.
Carmen Alicia and the others were in the cabin, and everyone was deciding whether to fight or not, Miria, Terry, and Jessica advocated war, Tully and Jordan advocated not fighting, Joseph just smiled and didn't speak, Veronica was confused and overwhelmed, and Alicia was thinking.
"We're friends with Elizabeth, and if we don't care about Elizabeth, then it's not interesting. "That's the reason for Terry's request, and I have to say that Terry is a guy who can be friends with anyone.
"Fool! if you go to war with the pirates of Hellas Bay easily, you will offend a lot of people!" Jotun seriously disagreed with the war, as a diplomat who often traveled to and from Hellas Bay, Jotun knew what it meant to go to war.
"I agree with Jordan that we must not go to war with the pirates of Hellas Bay. Tully supported Jotun, who had never been a man to be swayed by personal feelings, and Tully did not feel that he had any personal feelings with Elizabeth.
"Hey, if we don't go to war, are we going to be captured?" I can't do that!" Miria said impatiently, the experience of letting Alicia negotiate without a fight in Black Harbor was quite difficult for Miria, so she definitely didn't want to be caught this time.
"The Poor Breasts Wingman is right! It's not the Spencer family's way to be caught with their hands tied!" Jessica also expressed her attitude.
"Shut up, you big cow!" Miria yelled at Jessica in disgust.
"Hehe, that's interesting...... Joseph looked unconcerned.
"We're really unlucky, we just got out of the storm a day before we met pirates......" Veronica said helplessly, sometimes wondering if it was Karahir, the goddess of light, who abandoned him.
"It can't be helped, the storm has caused us to deviate from course. Joseph said lightly, he smiled, looking at Miria and Jessica, who were already arguing, like a woman arguing, very interesting.
Alicia listened to everyone's opinions, she looked at Tully, Tully nodded at her, Alicia looked at Terry again, Terry looked like he was about to rush out, Alicia closed her eyes and thought for a while.
"These pirates must all be from Anemone City, right?" asked Alicia suddenly, waiting for someone present to give her an affirmative answer.
"Elizabeth said before that after the storm, our ships are already approaching Anemone City, so beware of pirates. Jessica and Miria are no longer entangled with each other, and Jessica answers Alicia's question.
"Jotun, you frequented Hellas Bay, do you know what kind of ruler the city of Anemones is?" asked Alicia again.
"Meow, I've never walked through Anemone City before, so I've never walked past Anemone City, but I've heard that the current lord of Anemone City is called Katerina, and she is also a well-known pirate, and she is known as Cold Rose. Jotun told Alicia everything he knew.
"Hmm...... Cold Rose, that must be a cold or cold person......" Alicia held her chin, as if thinking about something.
Tully guessed what Alicia was thinking, and he knew that Alicia was analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of fighting or not fighting, and which would be safer and more worthy of choice.
"Since you can become the lord of Anemone City, a pirate city, then this person must have something extraordinary. Tully looked at Alicia and offered her opinion.
"How long has this Katerina ruled Anemone City, and does Roger Jones, the Governor of Hellas Bay, have any opinions on her rule?" asked Jotun again.
"Meow! It is said that Cold Rose has ruled Anemone City for more than five years, and the people of Hellas Bay have praised her rule, but I don't know Roger Jones's opinion. Jordan replied truthfully.
"Did everyone else praise it...... Then we'll have to give it a try......" Alicia calculated, "let's go to the deck!"
The rest of the crowd glanced at each other, and at this moment, whether they fought or not, they would follow their Queen of the Night, Carmen Alicia, with them.
On the deck, there were already a lot of corpses on the ground, including pirates and crew members, when Alicia and the others came out, everyone was slightly stunned, the pirates were surprised why there was such an outstanding character in this ship, and Elizabeth and the others were full of doubts, I don't know what decision Alicia and the others made.
Elizabeth was already scarred at this time, there seemed to be another scar on her face, and her body was also blurred with flesh and blood, which included her own blood and the blood of the enemy, she gasped and stared at Alicia, Alicia glanced at her, and then smiled at her, which made Elizabeth even more ignorant of what to do, she did not have a deep friendship with Alicia and others, and she was only ordered to escort Alicia and others to Hellas Bay, so she felt that her life was not long in coming.
When Terry saw Elizabeth's appearance, he couldn't bear it, he rushed forward impulsively, and unconsciously took a step forward, but Joseph beside him found it in time and gently grabbed him, Terry gritted his teeth and forced his will.
"Can't you imagine that the ships and passengers in Black Harbor are all bastards of Black Harbor, kill them all!" A voice came not far away, and everyone looked at it, but it was a rat spirit in leather armor, and next to the rat spirit monster, there was also an arrogant female wingman.
"We are emissaries from the Free Frontiers, and I have asked to see Katerina, Lord of Anemone City. Alicia stepped forward and said in a loud voice.
When the rat spirit saw Alicia, he took a few steps in front of Alicia and looked at Alicia left and right, he frowned for a moment, and then touched his beard.
"Emissary of the Free Frontiers?" the rat spirit asked in disbelief.
"Meow, of course it's true! I'm Jotun of the Free Frontier, and I've been to Hellas Bay a lot!" exclaimed Jotun.
When the rat spirit heard Jotun's voice, he looked quickly, and when he saw Jotun, he was so frightened that he quickly took a few steps back, and he pointed at Jotun, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Cat, cat, cat spirit!" shouted the rat spirit, pointing at Jordan, out of breath.
"What's so strange about meow?" Jotun wondered, he looked at the rat spirit and tilted his head, completely unaware of what was wrong with the guy in front of him.
"You must be the spies of the Black Harbor! I am sure that you are the spies of the Black Harbor!" The rat spirit was originally called Momogu, and he seemed to be very emotionally unstable.
"I think you're mistaken, we're really from the Free Frontiers. Tully quickly pushed Jotun behind him, and he sensed something was wrong.
"Ah, fatty, cats and fatties are badasses, you must be spies in Black Harbor!" Momogu became even more excited when he saw Tully, which made Tully look baffled.
"Are you crazy rat?" Jotun couldn't help but shout from behind him.
"Cats are predators of mice! Cats are badas!" Momogu screamed, pointing at Jordan.
"Don't you bring the nature of animals to us spirits, okay!" Momogu's words really made Jordan cry and laugh, how could any spirit really think of himself as an animal.
"He's a cat spirit, you're a rat spirit, and you're not a cat and a mouse, so don't get so excited. Tully tried to reassure Momogu.
"The fat man is not a good man, and the fat man has a knife in his smile!" said Momogu, pointing at Tali again.
"I ...... I'm not that fat, am I...... And the fat man provoked you, you are discriminatory......" Tully looked like he was about to cry for the first time.
"No, Master Tully, you're just slightly fat. Joseph was relieved, but it was clear that Tully was struck, and Tully stepped aside and stopped talking......
"Kill them, kill them!" Momogu cried out.
"Boss...... As far as I know, it seems that there is indeed a cat spirit in the Free Frontier who often goes in and out of Hellas Bay as an emissary, maybe these people are really ......," at this moment, a pirate-like man walked up to Momogu, hunched his waist, and whispered.
"I don't care! I don't care! The cat and the fat man must die! I repeat, I must die!" Momogu looked like a child with a temper tantrum, and Alicia and the others were completely crying and laughing.
"You idiot, get out of the way!" At this moment, the female wingman, who had not spoken, stepped forward and pulled Momogu away.
"Triss, my dear wife, my dear Trise, don't be so cruel to me......"
Momogu looked at the female wingman with an aggrieved expression, but his words made Alicia and the others stare at each other, open their mouths wide, and were shocked, and even Elizabeth, who was covered in bruises, poked her ears, looking like she had heard it wrong.
"Sister Wingman over there, take a step forward and say a few words. The winged man named Triss beckoned to Miria, who immediately suppressed her incredulous expression and stepped forward.
"I'm from Triss in Anemone City, and my hometown is Castimara, the Winged People, what about you? Although Triss always looked at others with a high-minded demeanor, when she looked at Miria, she smiled and looked very friendly.
"My sister, I'm Milia of Venice Jarre, and I'm currently working for the balance of nature in the Free Frontier, so I joined the Borderlands Rangers and became a Ranger. Miria bowed slightly.
"Ahh Triss also bowed slightly to Miria and made a gesture.
"Wife, there's a cat over there......"
"Shut up!" Momogu was about to mumble in a low voice, but was stopped by Triss, who shrank back aggrievedly, not daring to say anything more.
"That'...... Is that really your husband?" Milia couldn't help but ask, she looked curious, in fact, Alicia and the others all had curious expressions, and they were looking forward to Triss's answer.
"Hmm...... In fact, this idiot rat also has advantages, he is quite romantic. Triss shrugged her shoulders and replied with a smile.
"Hmm......" Joseph squinted his eyes and pondered.
"Okay...... Sister, you can do it if you like...... That one...... This one...... This is Carmen Alicia, the Queen of the Night of the Free Frontiers, and we shouldn't hide it from our sisters. "Miria was a little overwhelmed for a moment, and it was incredible that a female winged man would be married to a rat spirit.
When Miria introduces Alicia, Triss looks incredulous, as if Alicia and the others knew that Triss and Momogu were a couple.
"I hope to meet the lord of Anemone City, Lord Katrina, and I hope you can help introduce me. Alicia also bowed slightly, and she smiled at the same time, showing her kindness.
Triss nodded slightly, and bowed slightly, she turned around and discussed a few words with the people behind her, and the people behind her nodded, and went to prepare. Tully saw it in his eyes and guessed that Triss had sent that person to report the news first, after all, the Queen of the Free Frontier personally drove to Anemone City, which was also a big deal.
"If the Queen of the Night wishes, let's take our ship to Anemone City. Triss whispered, and Alicia nodded in acknowledgment, and the others followed Alicia to Trissy's ship.
"Kill all the rest of the Black Harbor for me!" Triss gave another order to her men, and her men complied, raising their weapons and surrounding Elizabeth and the others.
Elizabeth and her men both raised their weapons, they gritted their teeth, looking nervous, Elizabeth glanced at Alicia and the others again, Alicia looked at her, silent, Elizabeth also noticed, Tali pulled Alicia's arm tightly, Alicia glanced at Tali, Tali shook his head slightly at Alicia.
Elizabeth noticed Terry again, Terry was angry and wanted to rush forward, but was pulled by Veronica and Joseph, Jessica gritted her teeth, a little overwhelmed, Miria had a haughty look, ignoring the existence of Elizabeth and the others, and Jordan didn't care about this side at all, because Momogu was yelling again, asking to be killed with Jordan, and Jordan couldn't help but scold Momogu, still shouting that it was better to die in the storm.
"Hey!"
Elizabeth sighed unconsciously, as Jordan said, it was okay to die in the storm, but Elizabeth had tasted enough of the warmth and coldness of the people, and these people themselves did not have much friendship with her, so Elizabeth felt that she couldn't complain about anything, as soon as she thought of this, Elizabeth smiled again, although she was a little hideous with a smile full of scars, but Elizabeth's crew knew that their captain was the most amazing woman at the moment.
"Come on, you pirates!" said Elizabeth, and her crew roared in unison, each with a determined look on their faces.
"Kill!" Triss ordered, and the pirates rushed towards Elizabeth and the others......
"Damn! I'm not doing it!" Terry shouted, and he broke free of Joseph and Veronica's pull and rushed to Elizabeth's side, at which point Terry also drew his weapon, and he looked at the pirates with an angry face, and even at Alicia and the others.
Elizabeth was so moved to see Terry's actions that she nodded at Terry, who grimaced at her and smiled.
"Little Ellie, I've decided to quit the Borderlands! I'm going to live and die with Elizabeth and them!" Terry shouted at Alicia.
He smiled, and at the same time clenched his weapon, and his expression became resolute, and Elizabeth had not yet noticed that her tears had flowed out, and that a shadow of a Shadow Gate, a captain who was feared, would shed tears and be treated sincerely, not in a long time.
Jessica gritted her teeth, she walked to Terry's side step by step, Terry looked at Jessica with a confused expression, Jessica suddenly grabbed Terry's collar, Terry was originally shorter than Jessica, but he was actually lifted by Jessica, and the two were almost parallel.
"Are you an idiot?!" Jessica yelled at Terry in a bit of rage.
"If I don't, then I'm not who I am. Terry didn't smile at Jessica, he looked at Jessica with a grim face and a determined gaze.
"Hey...... Sure enough, it's an idiot......" Jessica sighed helplessly, she let go of Terry, pulled out her bayonet gracefully, she actually stood side by side with Terry, facing the pirate, which surprised Terry, and Elizabeth a lot.
Jessica ...... You ......" Terry looked at Jessica, completely out of control.
"How can the Spencer family abandon their friends. Jessica smiled charmingly at Terry. Terry laughed, and even Elizabeth laughed.
"I ...... I can't abandon my friends, or Karahir, the goddess of light, will really abandon me......" Veronica, trembling and uneasy, stood by Terry's side.
Joseph smiled at all this in front of him, before he could say anything, Miria firmly grabbed his arm, and shook his head solemnly, Joseph smiled at Miria, he actually pulled Miria to stand on Terry's side, Miria was completely surprised, she didn't expect Joseph to do this.
"My sister......" Triss looked disgusted, and Miria shrugged her shoulders helplessly, but she wasn't really on the other side.
"Meow, that stinky rat wants to kill me, and I can't help it. Jotun also briskly ran to Terry's side.
"Hahaha! Come and fight!" Terry laughed loudly, and each of them looked at the pirate with resolute eyes, showing no intention of flinching.
"Your Highness the Queen of the Night, I think you're going to change your subordinates!" Triss said to Alicia with a gloomy face.
Alicia smiled, she looked at Tully, Tully smiled bitterly a few times, at this moment Tully felt that he was too much of a failure, he should really just stay in the Midtown Federation, and join those who are in power, instead of going to this free frontier that only follows sensibility and lacks rationality, but compared to the people of the Midtown Federation, Tali himself seems to prefer these fools, idiots, and The childish fellow, at the thought of this, Tully smiled again, and he nodded slightly at Alicia, who had been looking at him, and Alicia smiled even brighter.
"It seems that without these fools, I wouldn't be the Queen of the Night, so of course the Queen will have to stand with her fellow fools. ”
Alicia smiled, and she walked over to Terry's side, Terry and the others were ecstatic, while Tully followed in Alicia's footsteps, and Tully would only be on Alicia's side.
Alicia and the others stood together, they looked at the many pirates without fear, looked at Tris, Momogu and others without fear, Alicia still maintained a charming and bright smile on her face, bullshit reason is lost at this moment, now let's temporarily put the little Ellie in everyone's hearts.
"I wouldn't be stupid enough to kill the Queen of the Free Frontiers, because that would cause me endless trouble, but your stupid behavior is disgusting to me, and I won't forget today's shame!" Triss said with a look of disgust. And Alicia smiled even brighter.
