Link was kicked in the ass by Tang Jie, his face was full of bitterness, and he covered his ass and said aggrievedly: "But Captain Tang Jie, they are the Blood Flag pirates in the Kadra Sea! These pirates are the most ferocious pirates in the entire Nilsia Sea, and they never have a living mouth under their hands!"

"Huh?" Tang Jie sneered, "Are you better than us?"

Link looked at Tang Jie like an alien, and there seemed to be some contempt for Tang Jie's ignorance in his eyes: "Captain Tang Jie, the seven seas have their own pirate kings. Each of them dominates one side of the sea, and is so powerful that even a regular navy would not dare to provoke it. A pirate like Captain Baal, who reigns supreme in the waters of Ataq, is placed in front of the Kadra pirates, like a small fish in the sea, compared to a shark, which does not enter the current at all......"

Tang Jie laughed angrily, and picked up Link Ke: "Bastard boy, you are getting bolder and bolder!

But to Tang Jie's surprise, Link didn't beg for mercy at all, but looked at him with a very affirmative gaze: "Captain Tang Jie, I know you are very strong. But do you know, Tony Ark, the pirate king of the Kadra Seas, he's an eighth-level sword fighter!"

Rank 8 Sword Fighter?

Tang Jie involuntarily gasped.

Sergei is already so difficult to deal with as a fourth-level Wind Sword Fighter, but what about an eighth-level Sword Fighter?

The difference between sword fighters is already a world of difference, and the number of levels has directly doubled, what is that concept?

Tang Jie thought about it, but the blood in his body involuntarily boiled, the stronger the opponent, the more it could sometimes stimulate his fighting spirit.

Especially after his left hand became an iron fist with undamaged fighting spirit and no damage to magic, he became more and more confident in his strength, and he now also wanted to know how strong he was, where the limit was, and how many levels of strong enemies he could defeat!

"Do you think I can't beat this Tony Ark?" Tang Jie stared at Link.

Link said without hesitation: "Captain Tang Jie, you will definitely not be able to beat him now, but he will definitely not be your opponent in the future!"

Tang Jie put him down and scolded with a smile: "Slippery head!"

Link said solemnly: "No, Captain Tang Jie, I heard First Officer Nia say that you have only been learning Dou Qi for a few months, but your current strength has far surpassed that of a fourth-level sword fighter. You know, even if it's the sword saint Anthony and the sword fighter king Carl Potter, it will take them at least two years to reach the level of a fourth-level sword fighter! I think if you had two years, you would have surpassed Tony Ark, right?"

Tang Jie kicked Link in the ass: "It seems that Tila, the god of the sea, not only taught you to sail, but also taught you to make sycophants, let's go and meet the pirates in the waters of Kadera." ”

Link grinned and said, "My navigation skills were taught to me by First Officer Nia, and what I just said was the truth, not sycophancy." ”

Tang Jie smiled slightly, when he walked out of the room, he found that the whole ship was already boiling, and almost all the sailors were shouting loudly, quickly putting on their clothes, and finding their best weapons.

The cabin was full of clattering footsteps and cries of panic, and even Agatha's lady-in-wait, whose pale face looked at the sailors with horrified eyes, at this time they no longer dared to look down on these dirty and lowly sailors, for only at this time could these unruly and unhygienic men save their lives.

Tang Jie followed the screaming crowd to the deck, and saw Captain Baker holding a short axe full of serrated teeth, and shouted loudly: "Louis, adjust the bow gun, Jack, go and push out the powder keg in the cabin!

Captain Baker saw Tang Jie coming up, his eyes lit up, he strode up, and said in a low voice: "Dear Mr. Tangriak, if you can help us in a moment, I will express my sincerest gratitude to you on behalf of all the crew!"

Tang Jie was not in a hurry to answer his words, but glanced at the ship, in his opinion, although these sailors had all kinds of weapons in their hands, their combat strength was obviously uneven, there were young men with white faces who were not yet sixteen years old, and there were also fifty-year-old men with white beards.

The main thing is that there is a heavy fear in their eyes, and they are afraid before they fight, which has already lost three points.

Count on these sailors to go head-to-head with the fiercest pirates of the Kadra Seas?

No kidding!

Tang Jie smiled and said to Baker, "Dear Captain Baker, why don't you consider giving these pirates a certain amount of gold and letting them let you go?"

Baker smiled wryly, "Are you kidding? When did Kadera's pirates stay alive? Damn, how could we run into them!"

Captain Baker said as he secretly observed Tang Jie's expression.

He found that Tang Jie had a smile on his face, and he didn't take the Kadra pirates to heart at all, plus he had seen Tang Jie's strength before, so he became more and more confident in his heart.

He smiled: "Mr. Toriac, as long as you promise to help, I will refund you all the money for this journey, do you think it's okay?"

Tang Jie didn't speak, but just looked in front of the "Conch", and saw a four-masted ship flying a bright red pirate flag in the distance, speeding towards them.

"Is the deal you mentioned last night still valid?" Before Tang Jie could speak, a soft voice suddenly sounded next to him.

Tang Jie turned his head and saw Agatha holding a delicate small umbrella and looking at him with a smile.

"What deal?" asked Baker in an inopportune voice.

Tang Jie and Agatha glanced at him in unison, and Baker smiled wryly and stepped aside.

Tang Jie turned his head and said with a smile: "What deal did you just say?"

Agatha softly brushed the long coffee-colored hair hanging from her ears to the back of her head, her delicate skin bathed in the dawn light, looking white and red, crystal like jade, she smiled helplessly, and looked at the surging Kadra pirates: "No one expected that we actually met the Grim Reaper in the Kadra Sea on the way." So, as long as you promise to keep me safe on my arrival in Mozambique, I promise you to help you transfer the Countess from Sisis back to Garcia. ”

Tang Jie smiled: "Sounds like I've taken a big advantage?"

Agatha pursed her lips and smiled: "Anyway, it's also a good thing for you to go to Mozambique, and it's also convenient for me to go back to Garcia to transfer the countess back to the imperial capital, and the two of us will help each other by the way and make an unexpected friendship, isn't it also a good thing?".

Tang Jieha smiled and glanced at Vera, who was standing at the bow of the ship, holding the hilt of the sword, standing straight: "What about him?"

Agatha moved her gaze to Vera and smiled faintly: "Although Lord Vera is brave, there is still a certain gap between you and Captain Tang Jie, what do you say?"

Tang Jie smiled at the corner of his mouth and nodded to Agatha: "Let all your people enter the cabin, don't trouble me for a while." ”

A hint of joy flashed in Agatha's eyes, but her expression was still peaceful, she just smiled lightly, and gently stretched out her white hand and placed it in front of Tang Jie.

Tang Jie was stunned for a moment, and soon understood that this was the lady signaling to the gentleman to kiss his hand.

Tang Jie grabbed Agatha's hand with one hand, only to feel that her hand was light and small, soft as boneless, he held Agatha's hand with one hand, kissed her lightly on the back of her hand, and then suddenly his lips took one of her white and tender fingers in his mouth, and the tip of his tongue turned on her fingers.

Agatha shuddered, a hint of shame flashed in her eyes, and she quickly withdrew her hand like an electric shock.

Tang Jie laughed out loud, and said to Agatha with a wink: "I am not a gentleman, dear Miss Agatha!"

Agatha's cheeks were crimson, she glared at him, grabbed the corner of her skirt, and hurried down the deck.

Baker on the side coughed dryly, and walked over with strange eyes: "Should I call you Mr. Tangriak, or should I call you Captain Tang Jie?"

The smile on Tang Jie's face remained unchanged: "Whatever you want, respected Captain Baker, any of them will do!"

Beck thought that he had scolded the pirates just now, but the man in front of him was the toughest pirate in the Attac and Roentgen seas, and he was surprised and delighted, and he was afraid that what he had just said would offend the man in front of him, and he would definitely die a very ugly death;

"Look, respected Captain Tang Jie, my eyes are indeed old and dizzy, and I didn't even see your true identity. If you had told me earlier, where would I have taken your money?" said Baker with a flattering smile to Tang Jie.

Tang Jie smiled and squeezed his eyes at Baker: "I had to say it earlier, it's strange if you don't report my whereabouts to the Sisis Navy!"

Baker saw that Tang Jie did not have the slightest shelf, as always affectionate, he also let go of his hanging heart, and then smiled: "How is this possible? Although I hate pirates, I also know that Captain Tang Jie has no evil deeds at sea, and you are different from the pirates in the Kadra Sea." Moreover, you also taught us a lesson to these proud and domineering Sisis Navy, and kicked them in the ass. ”

Baker gave Vera a wink, and quietly gave Tang Jie a thumbs up: "Good job! We have long wanted to kick the ass of these officials!"

Tang Jie glanced at Vera and thought: How many hurtful things do you have to do in order to offend all the sailors of Sisis like this?

The two of them were talking to each other, when suddenly a "boom" cannon sounded, and the sharp sound of the breech curved gun pierced the sky and attacked them!

"Shell!!" Vera, who was standing at the bow of the ship, suddenly roared and fell to the ground quickly.

Tang Jie stood still on the deck, with a calm smile on his face, and smiled at the sailors who were lying down or looking for cover around: "Don't be afraid, you can't hit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the cannonball bang on the sea surface about 10 meters in front of the "Conch," stirring up a column of water more than two meters high.

The sailors of the "Conch" were shocked, and they got up from the deck one after another, looking at Tang Jie in awe, but they didn't know why he knew that this cannon would not hit them.

"How do you know this shot missed?" Agatha's voice sounded behind Tang Jie again.

Tang Jie looked back and saw that Agatha walked out of the cabin with her skirt, and he said curiously: "Why did you come out again?

Agatha smiled lightly: "Captain Tang Jie, if you can repel these pirates, how important does it matter if I am not here? On the contrary, if I hide in the cabin, how can I see Captain Tang Jie's calm and heroic posture?"

After Agatha just hid in the cabin, after thinking about it, she felt that if Tang Jie couldn't repel the pirates, then it would be useless for her to hide anywhere, but if Tang Jie could repel the pirates, then she stood on the deck, even if she supported her, and after the battle was over, the friendship between the two would change from a trading relationship to a comrade-in-arms relationship.

Friendships forged in blood and battle are very different from those forged in trading.

Agatha obviously knew this, so she simply got on the deck again, and came to Tang Jie's side.

Tang Jie looked at Agatha in surprise, he didn't expect this noble daughter to have such courage: "Aren't you afraid?"

Agatha smiled at Tang Jie and said, "What can fear do except make the enemy look down on you?"

Tang Jie laughed, he knew that this was what he said to her at the stern of the boat last night, and now he let her return the salute, although Tang Jie knew that she was deliberately currying favor with him, but this kind of clever means made him very useful.

Agatha smiled, "Captain Tang Jie, you haven't answered my question just now, how do you know that they can't hit us?"

Tang Jie smiled slightly: "Dear Miss Agatha, I guess you must not have experienced a naval battle, right?"

Agatha was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "I'm not afraid of Captain Tang Jie's laughter, this is the first time I've gone to sea!"

Tang Jie turned his head and looked at Captain Baker: "Captain Baker, what about you?"

Baker smiled bitterly: "The Roentgen Sea is not as full of pirates as the Ataq Sea, Sisis has been calm for nearly a hundred years, and I have only experienced a few hand-to-hand battles with pirates, not artillery battles." ”

Tang Jie smiled, turned around and said loudly to Vera who got up: "Lord Vera, I guess you haven't experienced a naval battle either, have you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sailors on deck burst out laughing under their breath.

Asking a soldier if he has ever experienced war is the most vicious and mean humiliation of them.

The military honor that Vera had always been proud of was wiped out under Tang Jie's question, his face was blue and extremely ugly, his eyes glanced at Tang Jie viciously, turned around, and did not say a word.

Ever since he was hot-headed and humiliated by Tang Jie last night, he knew that his image in Agatha's heart must have plummeted.

Therefore, from the time of the attack to the present, he did not come to Agatha to ask for his own amusement, he just held his breath in his heart, and wanted to sprinkle it on these pirates.

But he didn't expect that he hadn't experienced the foundation of naval battles, but he was seen through by Tang Jie because of his reflexive shouting.

The west coast of the Pound Empire has been peaceful for nearly a hundred years, and he has only been in the army for five years, and he has only participated in a few exercises, where has he experienced a real naval battle?

Like the Sisis naval battle between the Third Coastal Defense Force and Tang Jie a while ago, this is already the largest naval battle on the west coast of the Pound Empire in the past hundred years.

Therefore, most of the people here are older than Tang Jie, but Tang Jie is the only one who has experienced iron-blooded fire.

Tang Jie looked at Vera's eyes, he just smiled, and didn't take it to heart, this person reminded him of Wells, but there was no doubt that he knew when to endure better than Wells.

He turned his head and smiled at Agatha, "As long as you've been through a cannon battle and survived, I'm sure you'll be able to tell which shells will land on your ship and which won't." ”

Agatha smiled and didn't speak.

Although the man in front of her said it simply, she could feel the smoke and earth-shattering cannon sound between his words, as if the sea battle that had become a household name in Sisis broke out in front of her eyes.

Agatha looked at Tang Jie's stiff face, and was a little distracted for a while.

Captain Baker said, "Captain Tang Jie, I beg your pardon for taking my command, and repel these pirates?"

Tang Jie looked at Baker and was about to speak, when suddenly there was another cannon shot, the cannonball pierced the sky, made a sharp cannon sound, blasted in the direction of the stern, and smashed out a high column of water.

"Are they demonstrating against us?" Agatha asked.

Tang Jie nodded: "These two cannons tell us that they are within the range of attack from the bow to the stern, and if we want to escape, they will use the cannons to beat us into a sieve!"

Captain Baker turned his head and shouted to the sailors who were standing on the sidelines, "What are you still doing, go and adjust the bow gun!

Tang Jie immediately stopped him: "No, no, Captain Baker, you are not a battleship, even if it is a battleship, a three-masted vulture-class battleship cannot defeat a four-masted battleship......"

Tang Jie said, turned his head, and carefully observed the approaching pirate ship, the scale of this battleship was very similar to a four-masted Lion-class battleship, he continued: "If I am not mistaken, this is a four-masted Lion-class battleship, and the number of sailors on board is two hundred and seventy-six, that is to say, we are very likely to face more than two hundred and seventy fierce pirates." ”

"Captain Baker, how many sailors are there on your ship?" Tang Jie looked at Baker, "I mean, can you fight?"

Baker smiled bitterly: "Dear Captain Tang Jie, may I ask what you mean by being able to fight?"

"He who is not afraid of blood. Tang Jie said.

Baker thought for a moment, "About twenty-three sailors......"

Agatha gasped and muttered, "Ten to one, that's crazy!"

Tang Jie said lightly: "The ratio of ten to one is not terrible, there was once an old captain who also faced an enemy ten times his own, and rushed forward with us and defeated the enemy in one fell swoop. ”

Tang Jie thought that he had come to this world, and on a terrifying night, he looked at the pirate ship that was speeding away, and suddenly felt like a world away.

"Are you talking about, Captain Barr?". Agatha asked.

Tang Jie nodded, his eyes unconsciously a little heavy: "I only hope that Tony Ark is not on the ship now, otherwise it will be ......." ”

Tang Jie's words were not finished, otherwise, what awaits us will be a massacre!

Although Tang Jie's strength has increased greatly, it is something he can't imagine for him to cross the fourth level and face an eighth-level sword fighter!

Agatha thought for a moment and said, "Probably not, Tony Ark has heard that he rarely goes to sea to plunder. Now it is his men who go out to sea and plunder. ”

Tang Jie nodded: "I hope so!"

He said to Baker: "Captain Baker, for a while you stand behind me, let your sailors stand behind you, the formation must be tight, hide all the weapons behind you, hide well, and don't let them find out when they get close!

Although Baker's face was calm, but his eyes revealed the nervousness in his heart, he walked among his sailors, and gave Tang Jie's instructions in a deep voice, these sailors heard that Tang Jie would stand in front and fight the pirates with them, and they shot their eyes at Tang Jie one by one, as if they had a backbone, and their faces were much calmer.

Tang Jie turned his head and said to Agatha: "You stand at the door of the cabin for a while, don't rush out, if they have pirates rushing to our ship, you hurry back and take your servants to guard the slide of the cabin." Your position is dangerous, as long as you are not afraid of these pirates, they will not be able to take you for a while!"

Agatha nodded, and somehow listened to Tang Jie's words in her heart.

After Tang Jie finished speaking, his eyes crossed Agatha and saw Link sticking his head out of the cabin, and he said loudly, "Link!"

When Link heard Tang Jie shouting at him, he suddenly became excited, and quickly ran to Tang Jie, saluting a commoner to a nobleman: "Here, Lord Tangriak, what do you command?"

Tang Jie smiled and rubbed his hair: "Call me Captain Tang Jie!"

A trace of excitement and surprise burst out in Link's eyes, he quickly saluted the captain again, touched his heels, held his chest high, and said loudly: "Obey, Captain Tang Jie, may I ask what your orders are?"

Tang Jie pointed at Agatha: "Now that you are a man, you are responsible for protecting the safety of this lady, how about it, do you have confidence?"

Link didn't expect Tang Jie to hand over Agatha's personal safety to him, he trembled with excitement, and said loudly: "Yes, Captain Tang Jie! I will use my life to protect her safety!"

Tang Jie smiled and said: "Don't die or live at every turn, I order you to protect Miss Agatha, and at the same time you must survive! You have to follow me to conquer the sea, but don't let me die here, stinky boy!"

Link's eyes were red with emotion, and he didn't know what to say, but he just slammed his fist on his thin chest, as if this was the only way to express the excitement in his chest.

Agatha watched Tang Jie walk towards the bow of the boat, his calm figure and fearless expression seemed to have a strong contagious effect, so that she did not feel the tension and fear of the coming war at all, she murmured: "What a man like a lion, didn't he never know what fear and fear were?"

When Link heard her words, he said with a proud expression: "Of course, our captain is the darling of the sea god Tira, and he is the bravest man in the world!"
