Volume I: The End of the Outlaw 145

"Come on, Bill! I'll show you the fleet that will follow you on your expedition to the seas. Donald took me by the shoulders and walked out of the tavern.

The weather is really nice today and it seems to be clearer than ever.

"Don't follow! Hurry up and get ready, tell your lads! Hurry up and solve the itch below, and check me if I am sick before getting on the boat! Except for the girls, you bring me everything you need to bring. Especially artillery! Donald turned back to the four guys and shouted.

Artillery......

I beat the drum in my heart, the equipment of the navy is indeed much better than that of the army on land!

Artillery...... Surely they thought we were going to rob!

There are noticeably a lot more sailors on the pier today than usual. Many people greeted us respectfully and took off their hats to salute us. It makes me feel very useful.

On the one hand, I have a sense of anticipation, looking forward to the day when I will be like him, a ...... Someone who is respected or awe-inspired!

On the other hand, I kind of admire this guy from the bottom of my heart......

"This is called the Weeping Orphan!" He pointed to a large ship flying a blue horned flag in front of him. "Weeping orphans! What a domineering name! He has struck and sunk many ships. ”

"The name ......"

"Ha, he is invincible, so the crew members who died in the other side can't do anything but leave the orphans crying bitterly!" He smiled. "He is famous at sea!"

"Whose ship is that?" I asked.

"Marlin." He said. "Mr. Fort Marin's battleship."

"He's got a strange name."

"I have to ask his father, and it is said that his father does not admit that it is his weakness, and suspects that his mother is the result of stealing food outside. Who knows! I guess his father didn't think he would give birth to a mentally retarded and took such a good name to remind his mother! ”

Donald knows a lot and is quite detailed.

"Over there! The red and white flag, Victor SΓ‘nchez's ship. He pointed and took me to the weeping orphan.

Donald took me to check the situation on the ship. He is a very clean person and has a high demand for hygiene in the cabin. Watching him earnestly point out the slackness of the crew made me feel a little bit more fond of this guy.

"The ship is not only a weapon of war, it is a fortress for the crew! It's also home to the crew! The crew spends far more time with it than they spend with their, and a man who can't even clean up his own house doesn't deserve to be on this boat! He said.

"If I find out that there is still a sanitary blind spot tomorrow, I will cut off the fingers of the person in charge!" It seems to be his ship, and it's all his crew.

After visiting the other three, I had a basic idea of the fleet that was about to follow me on the expedition. In particular, the rows of artillery on the ship are fresh in my memory. Touching the swarthy barrel, I just remembered one sentence, justice is within range!

And when Donald offered to visit my boat, I was a little hesitant. But I still owe money to others...... So I took him on the two boats I had sailed out of Nanhai Town.

From the moment he stepped onto deck, a somewhat contemptuous smile spread across his face. Indeed, he has reason to be contemptuous. The two ships were already in disarray. Although there were also so-called captains and first mates on these two ships, it was clear that these sailors could not restrain the landlubbers on land.

The customs of the bandits are completely different from those of the pirates, and the bandits do not have to clean, except for pooping and urinating in a place far away from their sleep, they do not care about anything else.

"Mr. Bill, I don't think your team has any fighting power." His slightly upturned lips were clearly mocking me.

"Uh...... If you look at it just from the outside, the raunchy and sloppy of this group of guys...... The worst indeed. But that doesn't mean they're not strong in combat. Just because a hippopotamus doesn't bite doesn't mean it can't beat a lion. I said.

"What is a hippopotamus?" He asked.

"Uh...... It's an animal in the water. It's dirty...... Very...... Sloppy. "I would like to emphasize the latter words.

"It's not on land, Bill." Donald clearly sensed what I was trying to say. "On the vast sea, discipline is a must, first and foremost! He is the prerequisite guarantee of combat effectiveness. ”

I can't say anything, after all, I don't know anything about naval warfare. I have only one purpose, to use this thing to transport me to the other side of the river, who knows how far.

"I'll ask for them. With your boat as a model, they will make the best changes in the shortest time. I said.

"Hmm...... Hum. Donald snorted twice. I'm sure this man in his forties must have been a pirate before.

When I put the two thousand gold coins in front of him, his smile became much more sincere. Gold is really a great tool for making friends.

As I watched the ships coming in and out of the port of Bullalls, I felt a sense of trepidation. There is one more day tomorrow, the morning after tomorrow...... We're about to set sail!

"Ralph, how's it going?" I asked, a little eagerly.

"I can't do it." He looked at me and said.

"Can't give money?" I'm in a bit of a hurry.

"Yes."

"What's going on with Easten?"

"Not good."

"Does it take physical healing to get him excited?"

"You can try." Ralph seems to have lost his heart.

With a kick open the door, Lawrence rushed in. Ralph and I stood outside the door and listened to the action inside. Lawrence worked hard, Isden rolled all over the floor, and the whole room was full of noise.

I told Lawrence not to slap him in the face, in case he finally agreed to sign, it wouldn't be good to go with a wound on his face!

Beat and scolded. But now Isden seems to have a real problem, not only is he not cooperative, but he is not afraid of torture. No matter how Lawrence punches and kicks, it's like a dead pig that isn't afraid of boiling water.

When Lawrence walked out of the Isden room, I knew he did his best. Ralph looked at my face and I looked at him.

"What should I do?" Lawrence straightened his back tiredly and asked.

"What do you think?" I asked them both.

"He seems to be really crazy." Lawrence said.

"Do you believe it?" I asked Ralph one more time.

Ralph nodded. "No one can endure this kind of torture for so long."

I was silent for a moment, then turned and left the cabin without speaking.

"Gage!" I shouted at Gage, who was standing at the bow of the boat.

He's always been taciturn, not very gregarious, and he always likes to be alone in a daze.

"What's the matter?" He had cut all his hair today, and his white scalp was very discordant with the skin on his face. People's attire is often a reflection of inner activity, not just expressions.

"Do you remember Gannis?" I asked him.

I've always been neutral about torture, especially now. Indeed, torture is very inhumane. Those who wield this method of punishment often end up with problems, and now I have this right in my hands, and I can control the right to live and die at will.

My inner morality told me I shouldn't be like this. But now that the situation tortures me, do you have a better choice?

A voice was telling me, don't do this, even if you don't have his money, you can take your people to fight the war.

Another voice said, "Those are the people of Alterac, and so much of his money is earned by hard work?" What do you have with all this money?

A voice said, "What's the difference between you and him?"

Another voice says that there is nothing wrong with killing a bad guy to save more good guys.

A voice said, you have no right to judge him, only the law has the right!

Another voice said, "There is no law in this world now!" There are so many so-called rules in this world!

The voice retorted, if there is really no so-called law, no so-called rules, all the efforts you have made, your purpose is all false? Did you go back to fight for fun?

But I need enough money! That's what I really think at this point. I...... Actually, I didn't really want to kill him.

At this time, there was a voice in my heart that made me feel very awkward......

It says, "What a hypocrite! I clearly want to do this, but I can't let go of that face! You've always despised those so-called morals in your heart! But you want to be a bitch, but you always want to build a torii for yourself! You want to do it, but you don't want others to scold you! You've been acting for you! Those clumsy, vile, and lowly behaviors look for a reasonable, moral justification! So that you can relieve your guilt! ”

"You're a wicked person at all! Be a hypocrite? No, don't pretend, you're pretending to be tired. The voice said. Achieve big things, no matter how small...... Isn't it? ”

I looked at Gage, who was standing in the distance, and called him to my side again.

Ralph and Lawrence watched silently at Easten, who was lying on the deck, his limbs twitching and incontinent. The scene just now was seen by the vast majority of the crew. Including some bandits from other ships to the door.

Everyone was quiet, and I don't know why no one said anything.

"Go and inform the bank, we will make an appointment for tomorrow's withdrawal. All! I said to Ralph. He looked at me, and I looked at him, but I always felt that the way he looked at me was a little strange...... Is this an illusion?

Gage's face was expressionless, his face was as heavy as water, and there was not even a trace of a wave in his eyes. He stood by the side of the boat and leaned against the fence, turning his head to look at the sea in the distance.

Am I wrong......

I suddenly remembered this question, but I didn't want to think about it anymore.

The crew had all returned to the ship, and I announced the preparations for tomorrow, and the order to be ready to go to sea at any time, and strictly forbidden to go out tomorrow.

After Isden had been washed clean and his wounds bandaged, I had a few men take him back to his room. Tomorrow, he will play his final role.

This kind of night is always difficult, this habit of mine is not very good, when I encounter things, it is easy to fall into a state of anxiety and insomnia, and my heart is always anxious.

"Have you thought of your plan for tomorrow?" Ralph asked me.

"I've figured it out." I say. "When I'm done......," I asked Ralph softly. Should I kill him? ”
