Time is of the essence and there is still one day left until the agreed date. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 InfoAfter the failed first assassination attempt, Sarn was worried, but now he is confident that Rex and Katerina are helping him. After breakfast, the three of them immediately left Hailing Town and returned to Traster Harbor.
Inside the harbor, the sea is calm and the air is full of fishy heat. The Black Pearl was moored in the middle of the harbor, the mainsail and jib tightly bound to the mast with drawstrings. The chef led dozens of sailors on the deck to carry the salvaged barrels and belongings into the cabin.
On the coast, the black-faced first mate and a group of soldiers, helmsmen, and crew members continued to search for unburned goods in the rubble.
Captain Marcus stood at the door of the cabin, with unkempt hair and ragged clothes, and half a bottle of gin in his hand, looking anxiously at the busy work of the cooks and sailors, and he was in a very bad mood.
"Jasta!" Marcus yelled, "report our damage!"
The cook hurried over and replied with a flattering face, "Captain, according to the statistics of the rescued food, we have suffered a heavy loss this time; there are only twenty barrels of flour, fifty bags of sugar and salt, twenty-five barrels of pickled fish, all the vegetables have been burned, twenty baskets of eggs have been broken, but only fifty jars of pickled pork are intact." ”
Marcus stared blankly ahead, "So, how long will we have enough food on the ship to live?"
"A week, Captain. We only had enough food for a week. The chef replied.
"Very well, you clean up and give me a report, and tell the first mate to put the soldiers in order and go hunting tomorrow!" Marcus finished and took a sip of wine, "Alright, you go to work." ”
Justa nodded and left the captain to return to the group, continuing to carry the boxes and barrels of belongings brought to the ship with the sailors.
The first mate led the group to carry the cleared goods onto the sampan and transport them to the Black Pearl. Every pirate was busy working, except for Captain Markus.
Marcus was drunk, and he warned his men not to disturb him in the office without his orders, and that he was exhausted from last night's fighting, and now he needed a quiet night's sleep.
As the sun was about to set, Sarn, Rex, and Katerina made a special way to board the Black Pearl. The trio disguised themselves as sailors infiltrated the cabin and lurked in the restaurant on the second floor. Sit in the corner of the room with a glass of wine in front of your seat. Around them, many pirates gathered here to eat, drink, and chat, but the pirates never paid attention to them, only concerned about whether their wine was stolen by the waiters. In this environment, the three of them are not eye-catching, and completely blend in with the atmosphere of the restaurant.
There was no music in the restaurant, but it was filled with the sound of rude eating and drinking, noisy conversations, and the footsteps of waiters on wooden boards. Rex cautiously surveyed the structure of the restaurant for an exit, Sarn tasked with figuring out the number of people in the restaurant, and Caterina stared at the galley waiting for the captain's deliverer to appear.
"Notice, there are three men coming out of the kitchen. Caterina whispered, "They brought the food, which seemed to be going to the captain's place." ”
The two glanced at the men with their peripheral eyes. "Very good," said Sarn, "indeed, prepare to follow them!"
Rex and Caterina nodded, and the three of them had formed a tacit understanding of what to do after the tracking. Captain Marchus's office was the aft pavilion on the ground floor, and the three waiters left the dining room with bamboo baskets full of food, crossed the quarters, entered a corridor, and climbed the wooden ladder to the first floor. The captain's room appeared right in front of them.
At this moment, all the pirates had gone down to the restaurant on the second floor for dinner, and the deck was empty. The only thing left in the quiet air was the "creaking" of the waiter's feet on the floor. Sarn, Rex, and Caterina follow lightly, and they decide to assassinate the three waiters before arriving at Marcus' office.
Rex and Sarn each pulled out a thick piece of white cotton cloth from their pockets and tied their right hand tightly together from the hilt of the sword, starting at the base of the blade.
Seeing this, Caterina looked at the two curiously. Gesturing with his hand to ask them why, Rex put his index finger to his lips and "shhh Caterina shrugged helplessly and rolled her eyes.
Sarn made an attacking gesture, and Rex and Caterina responded in response. The three quickly jumped behind the three waiters and slashed three or four times at their throats like playing violins. Blood spurted out and splashed the white cloth, and the two big men fell to the ground with a muffled grunt.
The third waiter turned to look at Caterina in horror, his hands clutched to his throat, and he snorted before she collapsed. His blood splattered on Katerina's face and clothes. When she saw that Sarn and Rex were clean, she understood why they had wrapped a piece of cotton cloth around the blade.
Rex triumphantly wiped the blood from his blade, making fun of Caterina for being a novice and making a mess of herself. Irritated, she became even angrier, clenching her dagger and stabbing at Rex. Sarn's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly grabbed Katarina's hand while scolding Rex not to be presumptuous. Startled by her actions, Rex realizes that she had gone too far, and hastily apologizes to her, but Caterina tilts her head to the side and ignores him.
When she regained her composure, the trio dressed as waiters and began knocking on the captain's door. A few seconds later, there was a roar from the room, in a tone of extreme impatience. "Jasta, this bastard, has told you not to bother me!"
Sarn knocked twice in a row, and the scolding burst into shouting, "Damn Jasta, I actually disobeyed my orders, I have to kill you!"
Outside the door, the three of them frowned, held their breath, and prepared to attack, waiting for the door to be opened. In the room, Marcus opened the door and said with a grim expression, "You bastard...!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Sarn lunged up and pushed him back into the center of the room, followed by Rex and Caterina, who locked the door.
"Jasta? What do you want to do!" Marcus yelled.
Sarn sneered and took off his clothes, "Mr. Captain, see clearly, who am I?"
"Ah, why are you?" exclaimed Marcus, "damn!"
"And us. Rex shouted, and with Caterina took off the waiter's clothes.
"Oh, bastards, it's you damn bunch!" Marcus cursed.
"You don't want to get out of here alive today!" said Sarn coldly.
"Yes, just because you want to kill me?" Marcus sneered, "I guess it's not that easy! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, let's die!" Sarn struck with his sword in hand.
Rex also grabbed the Nightingale's blade and stabbed at Marcus, who leaped backwards to dodge Sarn's sword, and at the same time turned to remove the great axe hanging on the wall, blocking Rex's sword. Marcus let out a loud howl and pushed Rex out of his body.
In an instant, the axes and swords of the two sides collided and made a "ping-pong" fighting sound.
Laid siege by two Assassins, Marcus fought for his life in grim silence, demonstrating the courage and strength of a pirate. The great axe swung freely in his hand, keeping the swords of Sarn and Rex out of the way. And he is a legendary pirate, more than enough to deal with two top assassins.
A round of back-and-forth attacks is over, and the two sides are evenly matched.
"Rex, you go up and down, break his defenses!" Sarn shouted.
"Understood!" replied Rex.
The swords of the two are like double-headed snakes, and the strategy of attacking up and down at the same time really worked. Marcus was forced by them to fight back, and had no choice but to dodge. But the huge body is a burden, knocking over all the tables and chairs, and the bumps are very bad.
Rex waited for an opportunity to jump on his back, but couldn't knock him down. He rode around Marcus' neck like a bag being flung around. Although Marcus suffered an injury to his calf, it did not affect his strength, speed, and martial arts in the slightest.
Seeing that the battle is at a stalemate, Caterina decides to help them. Opportunistically, she threw two daggers at Marcus, and the daggers struck Marcus in the shoulder. His arm suddenly went numb, and the giant axe fell to the ground without hand.
Sarn rushed forward and stabbed Marcus in the stomach with a sword. This great pirate was extraordinary, and his life was as strong as an ox. Marcus grabbed Sarn by the neck and lifted him high and threw him out. He slammed into the wall and fell to the floor, blood oozing from his nose and the corners of his mouth.
Rex frantically punched him in the head, punch after punch, but his attacks were nearly ineffective. Violence could not destroy the steel body, which was covered in muscle, and it was the master of life, powerful, confident, and brutal, capable of destroying other lives with ease. Marcus turned around and began to deal with Rex, who was riding around his neck.
As soon as he exerted his strength, the strength poured out of his muscles. Then he broke Rex's leg off his neck and ripped it off. Rex hung upside down in the air, feeling a heart-piercing pain in his ankle as if it had been crushed, and he gritted his gums to fight the pain, but to no avail. In the end, I couldn't help it and screamed in pain.
Marcus narrowed his eyes and laughed grimly. A fierce and majestic gaze burst out from those giant pupils. "You are so capable that you dare to come and seek death even if you don't come, even if you don't come, I don't intend to let you go. Hmph! There's only one way you want to get out of this room--- the corpses. ”
Rex punches Marcus in the face, but his fist is like cotton. Marcus only threw a punch into Rex's chest, and his world suddenly lost its voice, and he felt the stars in front of him, his dizziness, and the roar in his ears, and the sharp pain in his heart completely suffocated him. Rex opened his mouth wide but couldn't scream, saliva splashed, and a feeling of nausea came over him.
The pain wasn't gone away, and the fist rained down on Rex's waist. He was beaten and limp and collapsed, like a prostrated loach fish being lifted upside down by Marcus.
"Enjoy, bastard! this is just the beginning!" Marcus scolded. He threw Rex to the ground like a dog.
