Chapter 230: Haken's Battle Report
In Luca's concept, the Pirate Elders should be similar to the Poseidon Stone on the coast, basically bound to the island of Tata. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But after thinking about it, Captain Marlowe is not a prisoner on the island, on the contrary, he has a lot of privileges, and of course no one will stop him from leaving the island, and others don't know that Captain Marlowe's resume is problematic.
"Where's Captain Marlowe?" Lukka asked.
Before leaving, he came to say hello, saying that he was going to visit an old friend, and it would take about a few months. Kate replied.
"Well, didn't he say exactly where he went, and whose boat did he take?"
Kate shook her head: "He didn't say this. Why, you have something to do with him? The same goes for the island, and the same goes for the other members of the Senate, Captain Marlow says he's got it all arranged. β
"It's not a big deal. Lukka saw that Gray was still on his side and didn't tell the truth. Captain Marlowe's identity is suspicious, and it is difficult to guarantee that he is not another spy, this kind of information, it is better to keep it secret from Gray.
It wasn't until dinner time, after Gray had left, that Ollie explained Captain Marlowe's suspicions to Kate.
Kate was first surprised, and then said with some annoyance: "I didn't even see it, I really shouldn't have been!"
"It's not your fault, we've only been here for a few months, and he's been hiding on the island for more than thirty years, how can he see through it so easily? Luca said.
He thought about what he needed to do now, he had to pay a visit to the Sunset Express back to Sail Harbor, but the crew of the Silent Reaper had been on the road for months, and even an energetic one like Ollie was a little tired now, so it was better to rest on Tata Island and wait for the return of "Butcher" Haakon to meet him. You know, the first-hand information obtained from the vicinity of the battlefield is far more direct than those battle reports.
can rest for a while, of course everyone has no opinions, only Phil tugged on Luca's sleeve and whispered: "Linde and I won't go back to Sail Harbor with you, okay?
"As long as you don't blow up my house again. Lukka hadn't planned to take him there.
On the third day of rest on the island, just after noon, Lukka was sleepy in his study, when the servant of the station knocked on the door and said, "My lord, Captain Haken's ship has returned and is now entering the harbor. β
"Very well, let him come to me quickly. Lukka yawned.
It didn't take long for the fat man to walk in, and the miserable situation all over his body startled Luca, but it was a little familiar.
When he brought the stone that caused the riot at the inauguration ceremony of the new lord a few months ago, it was in a similar state as it is now: covered in the remnants of gunpowder, and his thick winter clothes could not cover the dried blood stains on his body.
Moreover, Haken was even worse now than he had been that day, with two wooden splints tied to his right hand, apparently fractured.
"What's wrong with you, did you run into the main force of the Imperial Navy?" Lukka quickly stood up and motioned for the servants next to him to hurry up and give him a hand.
"This little injury can't kill anyone. Haken was so confident that he ignored the hand's outstretched hand, and walked to the chair and sat down.
He took a breath and said, "Lord Lester, I don't know if the things you gave me this time are completed or failed. β
"Don't worry, if something happens, talk slowly. "It seems that the situation is more complicated, and Lukka asks the servant to pour Haken a cup of tea.
Haken hesitated with the teacup, but still made a request: "Lord, can you change the wine?"
Seeing Lukka nodding, the servant quickly changed to a large glass of ale, and Haken drank it dry in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and said:
"The ship you sold me is really good, the speed and firepower are not to be said, and it is the same as the system of the Imperial Navy, when you don't fly the pirate flag, you don't have any problem mixing in their rear. β
"The Imperial logistics team you asked me to harass is not difficult, as long as you attack according to the location you gave me, I can not only win every time, but also earn a lot of supplies, and I did a great job in the first month!"
"Then, I remembered what you said, let me not provoke the empire too hard, lest he send someone to beat me, so I will accept it when I see it, and turn the bow of the ship half a month ago and drive towards our island. β
"Unexpectedly, after five days of walking, hundreds of nautical miles away from our island, a ship flying the flag of the Empire met us head-on. β
"Even though I was on the way back, I couldn't turn around and run away if they were going to fight, didn't I?" so I asked the boys on my ship to meet them quickly, and I didn't really think it was difficult for them to be of their size. β
"But they don't play with us and can't shell, and I don't know why the ship is so fast, I feel like I'm about to catch up with your Peregrine Falcon - of course they can't catch up, I'm just figurative, they don't fire guns, they just rush over and throw the grappling hook over, this is directly to fight with us!"
"How could I be afraid of them? Before I became a pirate, I ate with a knife, and before they came, I commanded the boys to swing to their ships. β
"After the fight started, I realized that the ship was not an ordinary navy! How could we be dressed like that when we lived at sea? It was all metal armor, and it was not cheap at first glance, and all of them were like large cansβI didn't mean that our Miss Ollie, Miss Ollie was heroic in heavy armor...... What do you mean by that word......"
Lukka laughed, "No need to compliment Ollie, she's not there, she can't be heard." You continue to talk about the ship. β
Haken made sure that Ollie wasn't around, and was finally relieved that he wouldn't be thrown against the wall at least today.
He nodded and continued:
"The armor of those fellows is too thick for the boys' swords to cut, and I have been hammered in the arm. Seeing that the situation was not good, I hurriedly beckoned the boys to come back, cut the hook between the two boats, lowered the sails, and hurried back. β
"Don't blame me for being cowardly, I'm also afraid that if something goes wrong with the ship you got me, it won't be easy to explain to you when I come back. β
Lukka waved his hand: "It's okay, being able to judge the situation is an excellent captain." β
Haken laughed twice and continued:
"It's really strange that those in armor are really strange, a few of them were beaten into the sea by me, and such a metal can, they didn't even sink!"
"I seem to remember someone saying that someone who wears such an ocean-blue armor has a name, what is it...... Well...... That's right, Sea Knight!"
The smile on Luca's face suddenly froze, he stood up from his chair and asked solemnly:
"Are you right? Are they really Sea Knights? They fly the flag of the Empire?"
