Little Peter dragged Eva tightly and ran back to the room where the old man was, and before he had time to knock on the door, he opened the door directly and said breathlessly: "Grandpa, there are pirates coming." ”

The old man was discussing something with William, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he disturbed him, looking at Little Peter's panicked appearance, he frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you panicking, look at what kind of body you are like now." Sit down and drink your saliva and speak slowly. As he spoke, his voice changed from the first look in his eyes to the last kindness.

Little Peter sat down in shock, took a deep breath and tried to calm down, and then said, "I don't know, but I saw a pirate ship attacking the harbor, and I heard from the lookout that there were about twelve in total. After speaking, he took a sip of Eva's freshly brewed tea.

Uncle William pursed his lips and did not say anything, and the old man frowned and lectured Little Peter: "Look at your panicked appearance, what kind of climate can you become." I didn't even know what was going on, so I hurriedly ran back, shame. As he spoke, he slapped the armrest hard.

Little Peter's face turned red all of a sudden, he lowered his head and tugged at the hem of his clothes with both hands, his eyes were fixed on the surface of his feet, and he explained in a low voice: "I'm not, I'm not worried about you." ”

The old man glared at him, and wanted to say a few more words, but he was not willing to say a few more words, so he had to take advantage of the situation and say, "Let's go, let's go out and have a look." Rest assured, the pirates' wrecked ship will basically not be able to catch up with us. ”

When the group stepped out of the cabin and onto the deck, they saw the Marquis calmly directing, and rows of heavily armed soldiers and knights were on full alert.

Little Peter saw the performance of the Marquis and thought of his panic just now, and felt very ashamed in his heart, so he could only bow his head and not say a word.

When the marquiss saw them, she walked straight up, and before anyone could reach the voice, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I am deeply disturbed by the delay that such a thing has happened, and it disturbs the distinguished guests." After speaking, he saluted seriously.

The old man shook his head and said with a look of luck: "No, no, no, dear lady, on the contrary, it is precisely because of the delay that we can get on this ship, right?" You don't have to be upset at all, on the contrary, we should be happy. ”

The Marquis smiled slightly and did not continue the topic, but said, "I guess these pirates are here to take advantage of the fire. It is estimated that the refugees in these ports will be doomed, and it is estimated that they will either be taken by pirates as slaves or taken away by barbarians to keep as food for the winter. ”

Eva looked back at her, her face sad. After a long time, she asked, "Honorable Marquis, if the pirates saw such a huge ship, they would definitely abandon their original goal and chase after it, right?"

The marquis raised her eyebrows after hearing this, glanced at Eva seriously, smiled and said in a calm tone: "Don't worry, I have already asked people to go down to the cabin to inform and supervise those slaves to speed up." This ship could not have been built easily with the wealth of our Agenophon family. The pirates' ships are nothing to worry about. ”

As he spoke, he heard the lookout shout loudly: "The pirates have come with us, five pirate ships, all with trebuchets on them." ”

The marquis's face changed, she strode to the stern of the boat, looked at it for a while, stamped her foot vigorously, and complained repeatedly: "Damn it, damn trebuchets, a bunch of bugs, haunting things." ”

After complaining, the marquis said to the guards beside her, "Let them speed up, and we will get rid of the pirates." The guard nodded and hurried away.

Uncle William shrugged his shoulders, looked at the giant ship and estimated the speed, and then looked at the pirate ship and estimated the distance. Turning to the old man and little Peter, he said, "Let's go back first, get a good night's sleep, recuperate, and it is estimated that in three or four hours the pirates will chase after us." ”

Little Peter was startled, pointed to the back and said, "Didn't you say that this ship is very powerful?"

William smiled and said, "Yes, it's powerful, but it's just very stable and strong. Corsairs are faster and more flexible, and both sides have their own advantages. ”

Little Peter nodded, then thought for a while and said, "Then Uncle William, you and Grandpa and Eva should go back first, I haven't seen these yet, I want to see more." ”

William nodded and agreed, "Okay, it's good to take a look at more, remember not to walk around, just follow the Marquis." ”

Little Peter nodded, and trotted all the way to the world behind the Marquise.

The old man smiled with satisfaction and said, "This kid has finally grown a little bit and knows that he is going to be stronger." ”

Little Peter's heel was about three hours. During this period, as Uncle William said, the distance between the two sides was slowly approaching, and the figure of the pirate ship was clearly visible.

Just as he was feeling nervous, Uncle William's voice came from behind him: "It seems that the pirates are ready to change formation, and if you are closer, you can use trebuchets." ”

He looked up and sure enough, the pirate ships were already slowing down and adjusting their course. couldn't help but blurt out in a hurry: "Then what should I do, just look at them like this, only to be beaten and not fight back?"

William shrugged his shoulders and said: "There is no good way, a battle between one ship and five ships, you can only pray not to be dragged down, or the commander on the opposite side is a stupid pig." ”

The marquis angrily scolded: "Damn it, damn it, pirate. Damn trebuchet, I knew I would have put a trebuchet on the ship, and you could still be so arrogant today. I'm. He scolded, stomped his feet vigorously.

The guards next to him were persuading the marquis to return to the cabin, it was not safe outside. The marquis didn't listen at all, and finally said irritably: "Go into the cabin now, who will command you at that moment? Rely on you, what about the most critical ramming, pick-up, and jumping?"

The guard knelt down on one knee and persuaded again: "Your Highness, don't put yourself in danger, please return to the safety of the cabin immediately, we will swear to protect Your Highness's safety." ”

The marquis pursed her lips and said, "With you and others swearing to protect me, I am not safe there." Okay, I'll take a look at the situation, and I'll be back in a moment. ”

As he spoke, the two warships on the pirate's side broke away from the large force and rushed over at an accelerated pace. The remaining three warships deployed their trebuchets in turn, throwing boulders.

Uncle William's face turned grim and he hurriedly said, "The pirates here want to use trebuchets to make us throw rat traps, and then two warships will ram and jump into the gang." ”

As he spoke, the boulder roared, and although the first round of attacks failed, little Peter was still shocked and trembling.

The giant ship swayed from side to side on the surface of the sea to avoid the angle of attack of the trebuchet, and although it ensured that it was not hit by the boulder, its speed inevitably slowed down. The two warships behind were getting closer and closer, and they could see the ragged but hideous-looking pirates on the other deck.

The marquis gritted her teeth vigorously, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Avoid, full rudder left, sink one for me, and then break through." ”
