Chapter 266: Deception
"Do you know what you're trying to do?" said Sebastian as he grabbed Adrian and glared at him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Of course I do. Adrian smiled shamelessly.
"Bastard, we don't have a chance of winning, we're not the "ghosts of the West Sea" anymore!" Sebastian knew the facts, and knew how hard the words would hit Adrian, but he said it anyway. He didn't want the Black Shark to really end its life, and he wanted to spend a few more years on the sea with her. But everyone knows that the Black Shark's final destination must be the sea.
Adrian didn't speak, he pulled Sebastian's hand off his clothes and sat down. He wasn't angry, he touched his chin and pondered. He wasn't an unintelligent man, so he was thinking about Sebastian's words. Kohler, who was sitting across the table, quickly raised his hands and confessed, "I'm sorry, maybe it's really difficult to ask you like this. I should have taken that into account, it was my fault. ”
"You didn't do anything wrong. Adrian's voice became low, and reality was often able to extinguish the enthusiasm in his heart.
"Well, that's pretty rare. Maffeo couldn't help but speak again, and the atmosphere in the captain's room was indeed extremely awkward. "I haven't heard of the hell the "Devil of the West Sea", but I don't think that guy will be full of good intentions. ”
The three of them turned their eyes on Maffeo almost at the same time, which made the latter feel very uncomfortable. Khloe looked at Maffeo with unpredictable eyes, Adrian's eyes with a hint of appreciation, and Sebastian's eyes with surprise.
"What's wrong? I'm just saying what I think, and the final choice is yours. I only need to confess one thing, and that is that I am on your side. Maffeo touched Walter's head and smiled. "Right?"
"Wow!" Walter replied.
Sebastian tried to dissuade Maffeo, but Adrian, who had rekindled his hope, grabbed Sebastian by the shoulder to prevent him from having a seizure. "Now it's just a matter of calm, Sebastian. Now Sebastian finally knew that this guy couldn't stop anymore and that he would take everyone present to the shark's belly.
"I know that what the Violent Raiders say about the Apostles is definitely not a treasure, at least I know that. From what I know about the Apostles, what they leave behind may be useful to those seeking great power, but definitely not the gold that stupid captains are looking forward to. Of course, you can say that they will sell what they can gain power for a good price, but until then they will go to the endless abyss. I have a solution, if the word goes out that we have found the so-called treasure of this island, then ......" Maffeo spread his hands and did not continue, he was waiting for Adrian's response.
Kohler clapped his hands, and Maffeo didn't know if it was a compliment or a mockery. "It works. What he said gave Maffeo an answer.
"You mean to get Captain Damon's attention and get him to follow our pace?" asked Sebastian.
"This is the best way to keep him away from the vineyards, after all, it is obviously unwise to fight here. Not to mention the fact that the other captains also have bad intentions, and we can't trust them. Captain Jaeger is an example of this. Maffeo explained.
Adrian stood up and walked around Sebastian to Maffeo's back. He first reached out and teased Walter, who was lying on his side, but the latter was unhappy that he was scratching his chin with his hand, so his head kept bobbing so that Adrian's hand could not rest on his chin. Maffeo looked at Adrian, at his antics and Walter's reluctance to tease. "I now have reason to believe that you are a petty conspirator. Adrian laughed.
"No, no, no, my approach sucks, really. This means that we are in danger ourselves, and the Black Shark's guns are not yet fully deployed, and even if they are, according to Mr. Kohler, I do not think that the Black Shark will be able to match the firepower of Captain Damon's entire fleet. Maffeo shook his head, as if he himself was happy to deny his own idea.
"Yes, maybe this bastard is right. Adrian walked up behind Sebastian and clapped his hands on his shoulders. "It's true that we're not what we used to be, and since that's the case, let's do the last thing we liked to do when we were younger. We'll lure Captain Damon to Orsente and let the Imperial Navy take him out. Adrian spoke calmly, as if it were a trifle in itself.
Khloe swears it's the best joke he's ever heard, and he laughs. "The Imperial Navy wouldn't shoot at Captain Damon, that's wishful thinking. ”
"Oh?" Adrian said, pretending to be surprised, then turned into a mocking look. "Looks like you've been in the vineyard too long, Sebastian, and remember to take him out more often. He uttered thoughtful words in a mocking tone that made both Khloe and Sebastian laugh and cry. "Elias, the captain of the garrison in Orcent, is not the man of most Imperial officers, and he will not tolerate Captain Damon messing around on his territory. If possible, it's not impossible to sink him. You know, such a guy who ignores the management of the Imperial Army and wantonly plunders merchant ships will attract the favor of their fellows? He is doing exactly what we did back then, only he is more insane. So I'm sure there are already quite a few Imperial Navy who want to get Captain Damon's head back for a sum of money, and then bury all of his fleet to the bottom of the ocean to feed the sharks. ”
"How can you be sure that the captain of the garrison of Aucente will help us?" Khloe asked, still not believing Adrian's words.
"I've been in contact with that kid for a long time, and I know who he is. If I had to pick an Imperial Knight who has the virtues of a knight, then I would definitely choose Elias. Adrian patted his chest, expressing his trust in Elias in the simplest way possible.
This time it was Maffeo's turn to be puzzled, although he had seen Elias treat his subordinates, but he really didn't expect Elias to be so well evaluated in Ocente, and even in the eyes of outsiders, he was different from those bloodthirsty imperial officers. "Do you know him well?"
"Otherwise, how could Sebastian be able to issue a request to help repair the Black Shark?" Adrian replied.
Maffeo finally understood why the Black Shark, stranded on the northern shores of Aucente, hadn't been sunk for the ridiculous reason of affecting its image, and Elias had done them a favor, and he might have done such a thing. Maffeo didn't know what knightly virtues were, but it must have been the glory they all wanted.
"Then it's decided, there are still a few days left before the artillery is ready, and considering we don't know exactly when Captain Damon will be here, we'd better get the word out as soon as possible. And if Captain Damon can be the most powerful privateer out there, he won't be some stupid bastard. So we have to keep our men on the island just in case, he has a whole fleet, so it is impossible to concentrate the forces of the whole fleet to pursue us. "Sebastian's thoughts come together and he plays this role, that's why Adrian trusts him so much.
"I'm staying, I can't help with the naval battle at all. But on land, it's hard to say. Maffeo stood up first, and Walter seemed to think that his master was going out, so he followed and looked at Maffeo with his tongue out.
"You can't fight them all alone. Kohler tried to dissuade Maffeo.
"No, just like I want to try that guy's power again. Maffeo gave a spooky smile.
"That guy?"
"Okay, okay, we don't need to dwell on these things. Adrian quickly interrupted Kohler's question, he should have noticed it, but he didn't say it. "Also, we need a helmsman, a good helmsman. He kept tapping his index finger, as if to explain the importance of the matter.
Maffeo smiled, "Ludwig, the helmsman of the Revenge, he's a nice guy. ”
"Very well, I think we'd better hurry up and get ready. Without waiting for Sebastian's advice and Kohler's reminder, Adrian opened the door to the captain's room and slipped out like a thief.
