Chapter 11: Do I Know You?
As you can see from the telescope, the large three-masted merchant ship was quite large, but presumably to carry more cargo, it was not equipped with a sufficient number of guns and sailors, and could only counterattack a few shots when the opponent attacked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Their opponents, the two-masted pirate ship with a striking black flag, were much more dexterous, and the guns were densely packed all over the ship's side, and they were far faster than their prey.
But it's one thing to look through a telescope, it's another thing to actually drive the ship to the scene of a naval battle.
Lukka watched through the telescope as the two ships went from the fierce exchange of fire at the beginning, to the one-sided bombardment of the pirate ship, and watched as a chain bullet accurately hit the mainmast of the merchant ship, until the pirates threw their hooks, forcibly tied the two ships together, jumped onto the deck of the merchant ship and began a white-knuckle battle, Lukka's Peregrine Falcon was still more than half a distance away from the two ships.
"Alas, I can't catch up! When I got to the place, the daylilies were cold. Lukka shoved the binoculars back into Crete's hand and walked back to the cabin in a daze.
"What is daylily?" asked Ollie next to him, puzzled.
"I don't know. Crete told the truth, raising his binoculars and continuing to focus on the battle ahead.
"I've put on this heavy armor for nothing......" Ollie sat on the deck leaning against the mast, and simply closed her eyes and took a nap.
"Strange," Crete said suddenly, twenty minutes later, "why isn't it over yet?"
But no one responded. Ollie had fallen asleep, and Lukka was sulking in the captain's room. Only shut up and flew down from the mast, landed on the side of the ship in front of Crete and asked: "What is strange?"
Crete looked at the parrot and shook his head helplessly: "Go and ask your master to come over." ”
"Why don't you tell me, you're discriminating against birds!" shut up and flew towards the captain's quarters, venting his frustration in a shrill voice.
Lukka quickly followed it back to the deck, waking Ollie up in the way.
Crete handed him the binoculars again and said, "It stands to reason that the pirates on that pirate ship are well-armed, and the white-knuckle battle after the jump should have ended long ago, and now they should be looting for loot." ”
"Are you still fighting?" said Luca, holding up his binoculars.
It wasn't over yet, but the ship wasn't a normal exchange of fire, with a dozen pirates in a circle, staring at the door leading to the bilge.
What the hell are they? Could it be that the men on the merchant ship have blocked the hatch? Lukka was very strange.
As if to verify his words, the pirate commander brought three barrels of gunpowder.
"Mom, is this going to blow the whole ship up into the sky?" Ollie cried out suddenly, holding up a telescope, a little smaller than the one in Crete.
"How do you seem to have seen this telescope somewhere?" Lukka asked.
"Idiot! she stole it from your captain's room drawer!" shouted Shut Up.
Ollie glared at the parrot, "Is it good to borrow!"
"Huh, there's this thing in the drawer?" Lukka scratched his head.
"Captain, can you focus on the point?" said Crete, shaking his head.
As soon as Ollie put his eyes in front of the lenses of the telescope again, he exclaimed, "Ignited, they really lit!"
Lukka hurried over and saw the pirates using the cargo boxes scattered on the deck as cover, bending down.
A few seconds later, there was a loud "boom", and even the Peregrine Falcon, which was still several nautical miles away, seemed to feel a vibration.
In the binoculars, the pirates regrouped to check on the situation. However, judging from their frustrated expressions, it was not possible to achieve the goal by spending three barrels of black powder.
"Hurry up, drive the boat, hurry up and start the boat!" Ollie jumped sharply, the armor on his body clanging.
"It's coming soon, okay?" muttered Shut Up.
After another ten minutes, the Peregrine Falcon finally approached the two ships.
The pirates had already spotted the uninvited guest, but their ship and merchant ship were so entangled that they couldn't be separated for a while, and the Peregrine Falcon was really not a threat from its size, so the pirates didn't bother to attack with artillery fire.
The Peregrine saw the opportunity to cut in from behind the merchant ship, using the merchant ship as a cover, and approached with ease.
Reaching a position parallel to the two ships, Lukka ordered, likewise throwing the hook, to board the merchant ship from the right side.
"Come aboard!" Lukka commanded loudly.
With two swishs, the two figures jumped lightly onto the deck of the merchant ship with the help of ropes, and looked calm and relaxed in the face of the pirates.
Dozens of pirates looked at the two like idiots.
"Why are you the only one?" asked Lukka in a whisper.
"How many more do you want? I didn't even shut up with you. Ollie replied, holding his helmet.
Luca was speechless.
The pirate team suddenly parted to the sides, and the pirate leader stepped out and kicked away a corpse on the deck, presumably the crew of the merchant ship trying to resist.
Lukka frowned, especially when he saw several other bodies lying not far away. Many of the corpses were underage children, presumably dressed as passengers on merchant ships. Several young women, hiding in the stern of the ship, were firmly grasped by the pirates and seemed to be about to be brought back to their ship.
"Tsk tsk, what kind of wind blew the famous Crimson Shadow on my ship today?" said the pirate leader with a strange smile. He was about thirty years old, with big shoulders and a round waist, and a brownish-yellow beard growing wildly on his face.
"Your ship?" Lukka snorted.
"It's going to be my ship soon, what, do you have an opinion?" said the pirate leader, raising his scimitar.
"I have an opinion!" Ollie erupted before Luca, and she began to charge with her greatsword, and in an instant she was released to six or seven pirates.
A loaded pistol is raised from the pirate leader's hand and is aimed at Ollie's head.
Ollie laughed contemptuously, "You can try, this rotten thing can't break my helmet!"
"Maybe not, but she doesn't have a helmet!" the pirate leader grabbed a young woman next to him, the muzzle of a gun pointed at her forehead.
"You...... Mean!" Ollie was momentarily overwhelmed.
The other party laughed: "Lester, is this your subordinate? Let her lay down her arms, or I'll destroy this chick in no time!"
Ollie had no choice but to throw the greatsword on the ground.
The pirate leader still didn't give up: "Let her take off her armor!"
Lukka shook his head and said slowly, "I have a question for you before I order her. ”
"What's the problem?" asked the pirate leader.
"Do I know you? Who are you? How do you know my name?" Lukka took a few steps forward, his right hand behind his back already pinching a small piece of paper with blood stains.
The pirate leader looked at him in disbelief: "Have you drunk too much? or have you lost your memory?
He spat at the corner of the deck and said, "I'm Simon 'Barrel', as for why I know you...... All the pirates of the Black Sails have received orders from the pirate lord Edward Hugh to arrest Crimson Shadow throughout the sea, and the bounty is seven thousand!"
He looked at Lukka again and added, "Don't live. ”
