Chapter 25 Embarkation
Near the Starry Sea Channel, on a deserted island.
Suddenly, a high-pitched conch sound came from the surface of the sea to the island.
'Puff'
A wooden plank of the same color as the surrounding land was lifted, and a black-robed man instantly jumped out of it, and when he landed, it was a tumbling.
A pair of blue eyes looked around alertly, and only after confirming that it was safe did he lift the cloak on his body to reveal short brown hair and bronzed skin, it was the captain of the Skeleton who had not heard anything for more than half a year - Leo.
A ship flying the skull flag slowly approached on the sea, and Leo jumped into the sea and swam towards the skull without waiting for a small boat to pick it up.
'Whoa', Leo grabbed the rope thrown down from the ship and flipped onto the deck.
"Captain, the goal has appeared, is it not going according to plan. Osna asked softly, holding up the massive twin peaks.
Leo wiped the water stains on his head, and said in a slightly excited tone: "How many ships are there on the other side?"
Osna said: "The other side has a total of three large ships, the first two have a deep draft and are full of cargo at a glance, and the third has a shallow draft but is very well guarded. ”
"What's the reaction of the other nine pirates?" Leo continued.
Osna said: "The Nine Pirate Regiment did not dispatch a single ship, as if they had known about it for a long time, and it is likely that the other party's ships have already taken care of it." ”
"Have you dotted it?" Leo groaned slightly, "If it's dotted, why haven't we dotted the Skull?"
"Captain, all of us have been scattered at sea recently, and it is very likely that the other side has not found our people. Osna thought for a moment and said with some uncertainty.
Leo said: "No matter how much, everything is going according to plan. ”
"Yes. Osna bowed to the command, turned to the cockpit and shouted, "The Skeleton turns around and tells the other ships that everything is going according to plan." ”
The propeller on the left side of the Skull stopped working, the right side moved abruptly, and the whole ship turned 180 degrees directly on the spot, and when the direction was positive, the right propeller slowed down, and the left propeller started, and when the speed was the same, the propellers on both sides accelerated together, only to see the Skull shoot away.
In the starry channel, three large ships, two cargo, and one passenger, slowly moved towards the depths of the sea.
At the end of the passenger ship, there are three floors out of the water, and the wide deck is filled with people walking back and forth, and the sides of the ship are surrounded by well-equipped soldiers.
On the Skull, Leo saw the other party's appearance clearly through the telescope, and at the same time, his brows were also tightly locked, it stands to reason that since the other party wants to go to the Eastern Continent to do trade, the three big ships should be filled with goods, but this third ship is not only shallow draft, but the people who came out of the cabin group are all children, which makes Leo unable to figure it out.
"Could it be that this third ship is human trafficking?"
"But it's not right, if it's human trafficking, then these children should be strictly guarded!"
'No matter what, the arrow has to be fired. Leo was not a procrastinator, and turned to Osna: "Osna, order the others to act according to plan." ”
Leo instructed Osna to turn around and walk towards the left side of the ship, only to see that he suddenly turned over, and the whole person hung on the side of the ship.
The loud sound of conch suddenly sounded, and ships flying skull flags suddenly appeared on the sea, and one by one they surrounded the three big ships at a very fast speed.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, enemy attack. The lookout from above noticed the situation and shouted at the crowd below.
The crowd walking around the deck looked blankly at the lookout as if they had been immobilized, and then the captain reacted, and the first mate reacted and began to direct everyone back to the bottom of the cabin.
"The Skeleton Banner is the Skeleton, Captain, and the other party is the Skeleton Pirate Regiment of the new Ten Pirate Regiment. The lookout saw the other man's identity and shouted at the captain below, his voice full of fear.
It has only been more than half a year since the Skeleton Pirates landed in Saint-Gago, but his reputation spread throughout the nearby seas, and all the merchant ships that met him were destroyed except for surrender and survival.
At the same time, as the Skeleton's cruel style spread, the unique skeleton ship is also known, and it is impossible to run away when you meet them.
"Drop the sails, drop anchor, and everyone is on guard. "The captain has a headache, some time ago he sent someone to Sangago with a lot of money to dredge, and the other nine pirate regiments ran out in two days, but this skeleton pirate regiment and his people have waited for seven days without seeing a single person.
After thinking about it, the captain shouted to the lookout: "Wave the flag and tell the other party that we have already prepared their tolls." ”
After a while, the lookout said with a sad face: "Captain, the other party has not returned, our two freighters have been surrounded, and their flagship is coming towards us." ”
"So fast, they didn't hit the ship?" asked the captain.
"Nope. ”
Captain Huh breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay, as long as the other party doesn't hit the ship, we still have hope." ”
The skeleton stopped ten meters away from the other party, and the baffles were exerted high, and there was a 'squeak' sound of drawing the bow, and dense arrows appeared between the baffles.
"Vertical shield, vertical shield, everybody come to the front and put up the shield. The captain was startled, jumped to his feet and shouted, and the men took refuge behind the mast.
The Skull drew its bow, the passenger ship raised its shield, and the two sides suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Leo slipped into the water as the Skull came to a standstill, potentially swimming underwater towards the opposing ship.
His plan was simple, he used the Skeleton Pirates to attract the attention of the other party, and he just sneaked into the other party's ship.
The distance of ten meters is not far, and Leo, who has the strength of a junior knight, quickly dived over, and did not come out until the stern of the opponent's boat.
No one at the stern of the boat went to the bow of the boat to put up their shields, so Leo untied the rope from his waist and waved it lightly, and the round sleeve at the front end was placed on a bulge above.
Twice, three times, Leo smoothly climbed onto the other party's boat, aimed at the two sides of the confrontation and conversation, he came to the side of the ship lightly, turned over and went up to the second floor, looked through the window and found that there was no one, he ran directly into the .......
'Captain Leo, I hope we can meet again in my lifetime. On the Skull, Osna, who was standing on the roof of the captain's cabin, took in all of Leo's movements, and the towering twin peaks sank one by one, and waved his hand: "Boatswain, let the other party take the money in double." ”
The thing that money can solve is not a big deal, the captain of the passenger ship is very happy to send two small boxes of gold ears over, sure enough, the skeleton turned around and left after receiving the money, and the captain who turned around and looked at the wind was hot, and secretly said that he must build a ship like this after going back this time.
"Scattered, scattered, all scattered, the crisis is lifted, anchor, sail, let's go. ”
The three large ships continued on their way, and after a false alarm, they regained their vitality and began to discuss the arrival of the Skull ship eagerly, unaware that there was an uninvited guest on board.
The passenger who was supposed to live on the upper three floors, when the two sides confronted each other, the captain was afraid of danger and let people go to the lower two floors, and when Leo entered this cabin, one dodged and rolled under the bed on the left, and then entered the god space, where he was going to stay for a while until he went out to inquire about the situation at night.
God's space is indeed magical, no matter where Leo enters, the last place to come out is still there, and it is for this reason that he has absolute confidence that he can blend into the other party's ship.
The night was like ink, the sea was crashing against the boat, and the people who had experienced the dullness, excitement, and false alarm all returned to their respective cabins, and in the room where Leo was hiding, there were four little girls chattering about their own interesting stories.
Silently, under the bed in the lower bunk on the left, a thin figure appeared prominently, this person was wrapped in black, wrapped in black cloth, with a black cloth wrapped in his head, only revealing a pair of blue eyes, and he escaped from a thief who stole incense and jade.
The four people on the upper and lower beds on both sides didn't know that there was an extra man in their boudoir cabin, and the four of them chatted about their topics without any scruples, and the person under the bed controlled his breathing and listened patiently to the conversation of several people.
The four of them laughed and played for a while, and the topic suddenly changed, only to hear the girl above Leo say: "You said, after going to the Eastern Continent this time, do we have a chance to come back?"
