Chapter 135 [Time Without a Trace +3]
It's a bit frustrating, but long live understanding, let me replace the four chapters first, and you must change it when you wake up...... Let's see again tomorrow.
――――
After the boo, Coulson looked at Catherine and smiled: "Sister, you seem to have been confessed by an idiot!"
These words immediately brought Catherine's eyes in exchange.
The trio then rowed back to their mercenary group's boat.
Although this black-haired and black-eyed teenager has been looking at him blankly, and he really seems to be an idiot as Coulson said, since he has been rescued and the other party is still alive, then Catherine has no reason to let this black-haired and black-eyed teenager continue to drift in the sea.
The trio quickly returned to the big ship.
"This is ......" Lilith looked at the black-haired and black-eyed teenager brought by Catherine and the three of them, and her eyes were glazed, and her brows furrowed.
"It's an idiot!" Coulson immediately added.
A dozen other members of the boat gathered around.
When they heard that Catherine and the others rescued him was actually an idiot, these members began to test whether this person was a real idiot or a pretend.
They either pretended to be scared, or shook hands vigorously, or pinched the flesh, or punched the black-haired, black-eyed, dull-eyed boy in the stomach, and so on.
In the end, the results of the test were all confessed, and this is really an idiot.
However, the good news is that this idiot is very difficult to resist, and the high-ranking knight in the regiment punched this idiot with all his strength, and this idiot didn't seem to react, and he didn't look injured.
Such a terrifying ability to resist beatings has successfully passed the approval of the people in the regiment. Leave the black-haired, black-eyed idiot teenager on board. Became a member of their "Fire Rose" mercenary group.
Because I don't know the name of the black-haired and black-eyed boy. But it's obviously not okay to call an idiot, so everyone gave this black-haired and black-eyed teenager a simple name, called Xiaobai.
So, this black-haired and black-eyed boy named Xiaobai followed the "Fire Rose" mercenary group to start the voyage.
At the beginning, everyone was still a little precautionary, but as a month passed, Xiaobai was still the same. Rain or shine, or even in a small storm, this guy was almost shaken off the ship, and if it wasn't for Balton's timely grab by the collar, he would have been buried in the sea.
After this incident, everyone finally believed the fact that this black-haired and black-eyed teenager was really an idiot.
......
The sun is shining and the sea breeze is blowing.
On this day, it has been one month and twenty-seven days since Xiaobai got on the ship.
On the Flame Rose, the "Fire Rose" mercenary group is still at the helm of the ship as usual.
This time when they went to sea, the Fire Rose Regiment actually took on a three-star mission.
Because when the Flame Rose Regiment received this mission. The Lord of the Abyss has not yet descended on the mainland, therefore. They don't yet know that the continent has changed dramatically.
This three-star mission is mainly to transport a batch of things to Thunder Canyon. Because it was a task that the mercenaries would take on on on the island where they lived, they didn't know what was being transported, and they didn't know who the employer was.
The Mercenary Guild's mission is issued, and the employer is never announced. As a professional mercenary group, the fire rose mercenary group still has the basic mercenary quality of not looking at the goods transported according to the requirements.
"Let's eat!"
A shout came from Leonard, a mercenary on the ship who was also the cook of the entire team. Suddenly, the mercenaries on the ship cheered!
On the days of going to sea, the only thing worth waiting for is lunch and after lunch, everyone gets together to chat, or drink, or play cards.
Every time Leonard called for dinner, everyone would happily put down what they were doing and run towards the dining room in the cabin.
This time was no exception.
"Xiaobai, let's go, let's eat. ”
At the bow of the ship, Catherine and Coulson, who were in charge of reconnaissance, immediately pulled Xiao Bai, who was standing on the side, and walked towards the cabin after Leonard called for dinner.
Catherine, who had been fiddling with the binoculars, was about to put down the binoculars and go to the cabin with them for dinner, but suddenly, the last glimpse of putting down the binoculars made her stunned.
Somewhat unconvinced, she placed the telescope on one eye again.
Suddenly, she saw such a scene.
I saw that on a merchant ship about seven or eight hundred meters away from them, there seemed to be an extra person behind each crew member! If you don't look closely, it's hard to notice at all.
What she had just caught a glimpse of with her binoculars was that of a crew member struggling to resist, revealing a man behind him dressed in a white skull pattern.
At this time, Catherine was using her binoculars to look in the direction she had just glimpsed. I saw a sailor standing there, but in front of the sailor, there was blood all over it.
Seeing this scene, although Catherine had not joined the Fire Rose Mercenary Group for a long time, it was even her first time at sea on a mission. But she understood what that meant.
Running quickly to a bronze bell in the bow of the ship, Catherine picked up the small hammer next to the bell and struck it vigorously against it.
"Knock!", "Knock!", "Knock!", "Knock!", "Knock!", ......
The hurried bell rang so that the members who had happily run into the cabin restaurant to eat hurriedly ran out one by one.
Lilith, the head of the regiment, ran out first, and asked with a solemn expression, "What's the matter, Catherine?"
Catherine said nervously, "Yes...... There are pirates!"
Cathery's words made the faces of all the team members, including Lilith, change!
"Sota, open the arsenal and let everyone get their weapons ready for battle!"
"Catherine, give me the binoculars!
Lilith deployed violently, and at the same time, Catherine's telescope looked in the direction Catherine had said.
After a moment, she looked ugly and said, "White Skull Pirates!"
The White Skull Pirates are a well-known pirate group in this sea, burning, killing and looting. Countless mercenary groups have died at their hands. The reputation is resounding.
Lilith never expected to encounter the White Skull Pirates this time!
At this time. The Flame Rose was hundreds of meters away from the merchant ship occupied by the White Skull Pirates, and it was not enough to turn around and escape.
Lilith looked back at the members of the ship, gritted her teeth and said, "Guys, I'm afraid there will be a hard battle next!"
"It's okay, Commander! It's not like we've never experienced hard fighting!" replied with a smile from the middle-aged mercenary named Sota.
"Yes, Commander, it's painful to fight him!"
"The winner is still unknown!"
"What about the White Skull Pirates!
......
Other members of the group also said.
In the end, the voices of more than a dozen people were synthesized into a slogan of victory!
"Victory!", "Victory!", "Victory!", ......
With the slogan of victory, everyone kept raising their clenched fists.
in the crowd. Coulson suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiaobai still being stunned, so he hurriedly picked up Xiaobai's hand, raised it together, and shouted in his mouth that he would win.
When Lilith heard everyone's slogan, she was excited and excited, and said, "Okay!
Soon, the merchant ship not far away finally sailed to this side.
"Kill everyone!" A loud shout suddenly came from the merchant ship, and a middle-aged man with a scar on his face walked out from behind a sailor, with a murderous face!
His voice fell, and then followed. Behind every sailor on a merchant ship, and in the cabins, a large number of robbers dressed in white skull patterns appeared in an instant.
These robbers started or built planks. Or the sling came towards the Flame Rose, and although Lilith and the others tried their best to stop it, the bandits on the merchant ship were far more than they imagined! There were more than a hundred of them!
Soon, most of the robbers came to the Fire Rose, surrounded everyone, and killed more than a dozen people of the Fire Rose mercenary group!
"Array!" At the moment of life and death, the Flame Rose Mercenary Group also showed the overall strength of the mercenary group, and more than a dozen people were surrounded by nearly 100 pirates, and they were not panicked.
Quickly laid out a formation that could defend against attacks on all sides.
But suddenly, Coulson's shout came from the formation: "Xiaobai, hurry up!"
It turned out that Xiaobai, who looked sluggish, was forgotten by everyone when everyone was arrayed, and at this time, he was on the other side of the deck.
In the past two months, he has often taken care of Xiaobai, but it is Coulson who called Xiaobai "idiot" at the beginning.
More than 100 pirates, all besieging the mercenary group. A few people were separated and walked towards Xiaobai.
These pirates have all cultivated their fighting spirit! And their strength is not low, the weakest of them is also a beginner knight, and the strongest is the middle-aged man with a scar on his face!
It's a knight of the deep sea!
This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Flame Rose Mercenary Group, which is the strongest and only a great knight.
The members of the Fire Rose Mercenary Regiment were almost a little desperate when they saw the Knight of the Deep Sea.
At this time, the few people who walked towards Xiaobai also walked in front of Xiaobai.
One of them raised his knife and slashed at Xiao Bai head-on.
"Xiaobai!" Coulson cried out sadly.
Seeing that the knife was about to slash at Xiao Bai's head, at this moment, Xiao Bai's originally blank and dull eyes suddenly condensed, and in an instant, they were as sharp as a sword!
"Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!", "Poof!", ......
Blood splattered!
No one could see what was going on, and the pirates who were heading towards Xiaobai were already in different places, and their blood was scattered all over the ground.
Xiaobai, on the other hand, stood in front of the corpses of the pirates without blinking. Blood slowly dripped from one of his hands.
At this scene, the members of the Fire Rose Mercenary Regiment froze.
And the more than 100 pirates who besieged them were also stunned.
It turns out that the black-haired boy is the real ruthless character!
"This ...... Village...... Be...... Which...... ......" The black-haired boy's eyes switched between dazed and awake, when he was awake, the boy spoke, and when he was confused, the boy kept silent, and his words seemed intermittent. (To be continued......)
