The wine was quickly fetched, and Abu poured half of the bag down as soon as he looked up, and poured the other half on his body, and it was hard to imagine that anyone who saw this lost mercenary now, and that a moment before he had been brave and fearless...... Bargain with the shipowner for the price of hiring him to fight.

Yes, even when he is chased behind his ass by three vicious Karaman pirate ships, and the cabin contains a group of Karaman citizens who have been kidnapped by him, this mercenary sticks to his work ethic - get himself an employer before drawing a knife.

"The boat is free of charge, so you have nothing to lose even if the ship sinks."

“…… I'm loaded with your goods this time, and I'll drink the northwest wind without your boat fare! ”

"Money is something outside of the body," Abu said to his potential patron with a sincere face, "Life is the most important thing, don't think about it." Where there is life, there is hope. ”

Listening to his words full of life philosophy, the shipowner almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, is there any mistake! Who is it that is still haggling for self-defense when he is about to be caught up by those murderous Karaman pirates! He shuddered and shouted, "Your cargo is on board too!" If they catch you, you won't have any good fruit to eat! ”

"What do you think?" Abu squinted his eyes and laughed, "I know someone from Karaman, do you recognize it?" Would you like me to tell you a few words about Karaman? ”

...... "I really shouldn't have run this boat, I knew that I would rather transport goods for the devil (the poor man didn't know that he was transporting goods for Luo Yi) than for this guy who reached out in the coffin, he said through gritted teeth." Skip half of it, and my men will eat too! ”

"Happy working together!" Abu smiled and nodded, "Guys, get ready to work!"

Contrary to what he said, Abu knew that if those Karaman pirates found out that they had kidnapped the good people of Karaman, he would definitely not have any good fruit to eat, and at least these goods would be lost, but, anyway, the pirate ship was still far away. In this era, there were no aircraft, missiles, artillery. In addition to the collision in the naval battle, it is a jumping gang, and there is still a lot of distance between the ships of the two sides at this time, and it doesn't matter if he draws his knife or not, he will draw his knife for a while and a half. There will be no actual fighting on either side. Therefore...... Why not use this free time to bargain with the shipowner?

It's a little bit to be able to coax a little!

But the owner of the ship really is. I love money so much, I'm still bargaining when I'm dying, I don't know if my life matters! Alas. He didn't even have time to ask for the remaining half...... Abu reprimanded the shipowner for asking for money and his life, but comforted himself that credibility was still at stake, and if he continued to bargain, it would be too late to prepare for battle.

Leaving behind the depressed owner, Abu walked to the side of the ship, pressed his knife in one hand, and watched as the distance between the Karaman pirate ship and his own narrowed little by little, "Then again, how did the Karamans come to this sea?" Aren't the Emerald Sea and the Coral Sea enough for them to grab? Never ...... Is it because of the craftsmen I kidnapped? ”

"My lord! It should be Tournest ahead! On the largest pirate ship, the lookout shouted to the leader, "There is a flash in the distance!" It should be the silver dome! ”

"Good!" The leader said, "Tell the ships, let's take this merchant ship first, and then go and rob Turnest!" You've all heard that it's full of indigo and honey, and good slaves! "Ever since the Laccades had sold their loot at Karaman's market, those who were interested had taken notice, and then, after hearing the lobbying of Ram and others, and having combined these rumors, the men who had been collecting tolls on the Emerald Sea decided to open their toll booths to Tournest.

It's a long way to go, but judging by the gains of the Rakkadians, the trip should be worth it, the pirates thought.

Their goal was to capture Turnest, as for the merchant ship Abu was travelling on...... I've encountered them all, and if I don't rob them, I'm sorry for my reputation as a pirate! It's off to a good start! No one should object to an appetizing dessert before the meal!

The pirates really have no objection, it's just a merchant ship, and they can't be caught yet!

As for the merchant ships they were chasing......

"Hmph, it's better to make them look good, and the idea of beating my Abu Bao's goods......" Abu, who was used by the pirates as a dessert before the meal, while choking the pirates to death, turned his head sideways to look at the coast, preparing to abandon the ship and swim ashore in case of defeat (which is very likely), "Huh? What are they? ”

"Pirates!" It was a calm day, and a large number of fishing boats were scattered off the coast of Tournest, and they soon discovered these ships and their oddities, these people who had not grown up in peacetime, and they could see the difference between a ship of business and a ship of robbery, "Raise the flag!" Amazing! Here the heretics are again! Oh, my God! There is no end to the hell these days! ”

After the first fishing boat raised the red flag, the nearby ships raised the red flag one after another, and the watchtowers on the coast lit up one after another, all of which were added to the precaution after the last time Abu led the Lackadians to raid Turnest.

For a while, I saw the blue sky and wolf smoke everywhere.

"Quite vigilant!" The pirate leader also noticed the wolf smoke rising from the shore one after another, "It seems that there are quite a few people!" Our trip was not in vain! Before, he had feared that Turnest, like many harbor cities, had been desolate after being plundered by the Lackadians, and that they had run for nothing, but now he knew that they had not come in vain, that no lord would have set up so many beacons by the deserted coast, "Truth is above!" We will bring your thunder upon these unbelievers! Let them know that they believe in devils and false gods who will not bless them! ”

As for the defense of Turnest, these Karaman pirates did not pay attention to it at all, and when they encountered the emperor at sea, although they were ultimately defeated, they also killed many famous knights under the emperor's command, and that event was famous even in this distant Neustria, and the Alban Monastery next to Brad's territory ceremoniously recorded this event in their chronicles, because among those killed in this battle was the nephew of the former king of Neustria, Andrew, the cousin of the current king (see Chapter 57 for increased production).

They weren't even afraid of the emperor's fleet, so how could they be afraid of just one Turnest? They have come to see this place as something in their pockets. (To be continued......)
