When little Peter and Zoya helped Eva to the deck, they found that the whole deck had slowly returned to calm as the pirates had been defeated.

When little Peter saw the Marquis again, the Marquis of Bavaria was roaming the deck, seemingly proud of being able to repel the pirates' attacks.

Seeing Eva's tragic condition, the marquis couldn't help frowning, the corners of her mouth twitched, turned her head to the guards beside her, and then said: "It is really my fault that your guest is frightened, rest assured, I promise to do my best to heal this girl." ”

Little Peter hurriedly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you very much for your kindness, and I would like to express my sincere thanks to you on her behalf." After saying that, he and Zoya helped Eva to the resting place and waited for the doctor's treatment.

The resistance of the pirates was already very weak, and at this time, the giant ship was slowly breaking away from the encirclement, and the three pirate ships behind it could only follow in vain, as if there was still a glimmer of hope that the giant ship would sink.

The atmosphere in the room was very depressing, and little Peter had already told the old man and others about the incident, and everyone sat there silently for a long time without saying a word.

Eva lay on the bed in a state of confusion, and Zoya sat beside her and wept silently. A female physician dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask examines Eva's condition. After a while, the female doctor stood up, wiped her hands first, and then said to everyone: "This person's physical condition is much better than I imagined, basically due to trauma caused by falls, etc., the most serious is that the back of the head has been hit to a certain extent, but there is no major problem, and it is good to rest for two days." ”

Little Peter breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed and collapsed on the couch. He watched in silence as Zoya was refreshed by the good news, and asked the female doctor what to do.

The atmosphere of the room suddenly became lighter, and the old man patted the armrest to attract everyone's attention and said, "Since there is nothing serious, then we don't need to all gather here to interfere with the work of other doctors." Peter and William went with me to thank the Marquis, and everyone else was at will. With that, he stood up, motioned to William and Little Peter, and walked out the door.

The group found the marquis with a sad face, and after thanking her again, the old man asked, "I wonder if something bad has happened again?"

The Marquis smiled first and said, "You can call me Maria, how is that girl?"

The old man straightened up and said with a serious expression: "Venerable Marquis Maria, thank you very much for your great help. The doctor said that Eva was in good condition and that there was no major danger. ”

The Marquis of Maria smiled and said with a smile on her face, "This is very good, it is a great blessing that you did not let your guests suffer losses and did not lose the honor of the family." ”

The old man nodded and asked again: "I think you seem to be very sad, I don't know if something happened again?"

Marquis Maria frowned, walked back and forth with her hands behind her back a few times, and then sighed: "You are right, due to the impact just now, our hull is not too stable, and some places in the bilge have begun to seep water. As he spoke, he pointed to the pirate ship behind him, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "These pirates behind have been following us closely, as long as we show fatigue, the situation will be very critical." ”

Little Peter looked back and saw that it was getting brighter, and before he knew it the night was about to pass. However, the pirate ship on the surface of the sea was following behind unhurriedly, and from time to time a few boulders were thrown and harassed.

William observed for a moment, then said to the Marquis of Maria: "This is not too far from the Imperial Port of Calais, as long as we can find a way to inform the troops stationed in the port of Calais, I think we can still get out of trouble." Just a few pirate ships would not dare to be enemies of the Imperial Navy. ”

Marquis Maria nodded and said, "The carrier pigeon has just been released, and I think what we have to do now is to hold on until the arrival of the Imperial Navy." ”

As he spoke, he heard little Peter shout, "Look, those pirate ships seem to be speeding up." The crowd hurriedly looked. Just when everyone thought that the pirates were ready to ram and jump, they saw that the three ships rushed for a while and gradually slowed down. Now the distance between the two sides is too far to jump, but it is a little close with a trebuchet. For a moment, everyone was confused and didn't understand what the pirates were trying to do.

The old man looked at it for a while, patted little Peter on the shoulder and said to him, "See, this is human nature." Look, those pirates were reluctant to let such a big fat sheep run away, so they chased after it. However, when one of them needs to set an example, he shrinks his head and tail, only thinking about reaping benefits and not wanting to pay, how can there be such a good thing in the world. ”

Little Peter nodded incomprehensibly, before he could say anything. I heard Uncle William clapping his hands vigorously and saying, "That's the best, we're most afraid of them coming up and fighting hard in this situation." Now it's more advantageous for us to wait for help. ”

Marquis Maria also nodded vigorously and said, "It's best that they can hesitate for a while, so that even if they want to fight hard in the end, they won't have so much time." ”

In this way, while hoping that the pirates would be in such a stalemate forever, they secretly prayed that they would soon reach the port of Calais in the Krent Empire.

It may be that the pirates also knew that they didn't have much time left, so when the dawn quietly came, when the speed of the giant ship was getting slower and slower, and the hull of the ship was gradually tilting. The three pirate ships seemed to have finally agreed on their opinions, and they all accelerated their charges. When they reached a certain distance, the three pirate ships did not intend to engage in broadside battles, but used rockets to shoot round after round, hoping to reap the results.

Screams and curses resounded across the deck. Little Peter saw that the sail on the mast in the center of the ship was the target of the public, and it was set on fire at once. Some slaves came out of the bilge and threw useless weights into the sea, and many more were paddling desperately at the bottom of the bilge.

After all, the giant ship was on fire, leaning and walking slower and slower. Just as the pirates were excited and Little Peter and his party were grim-faced, more than a dozen warships flying the flag of the Krent Empire finally appeared on the horizon.

Marquis Maria jumped up excitedly and shouted: "Damn pirate, don't run away yet, if you don't run away, wait for the sunken corpse to feed the sharks." ”

The pirates also seem to have seen the presence of the Imperial Navy, but it seems that they are really unwilling to let them give up their prey. However, as the silhouette of the battleship became clearer, they had to turn around and flee in the direction they came.

The slaves and soldiers on the deck threw their belongings into the sky and shouted, "Long live the Empire, long live!"

Little Peter looked around at the excited Marquis, the soldiers and slaves celebrating the rescue, the old man with a faint look of anticipation, and the silent Uncle William, and couldn't help but think to himself that this was the effect of a strong nation on his people.

Before they could figure it out, the warships had already arrived, some of them continuing to pursue the pirates, while others escorted the huge ship to the port of Calais.
