Volume IV The Rule of Chaos 84 No good end
For me, the ocean is a place where you don't know where you are unless you find land.
The Gilneys also knew that it was wrong to go west, and the result of piecing together the memories of their respective captives was that we could choose three directions. But at my insistence, they agreed to go all the way east.
I thought we had goblins thrown off the goblins, but on the afternoon of our escape, two ships appeared in the distance behind us.
When the people on the lookout shouted that they had found two ships, everyone exploded instantly, and the news was like a bolt from the blue. Although around noon, I was still glad and even comforted that I had survived despite losing my weapon, but my still unresolved mood and remaining worries became a reality.
The goblins came after them.
Regardless of the abuses we might have suffered if we were caught, one thing is for sure, we will most likely be responsible for rebuilding the cages and defensive fences on that island, and I don't know if we will die during the construction process or after it is built or sold somewhere, of course I don't have time to think about it now.
It's quite possible that a few of us can steal the ship, but that's all, if we face the enemy now, it's still two ships...... I could even see that our ship was going to be smashed by their artillery.
At that time, I asked them to steal the goblin ship, in fact, I thought that at this time, the firepower configuration of this merchant ship converted into a merchant ship was much worse than that of the goblins, and now there are not enough people......
I looked at the seafarers, their faces completely lost the ease and excitement they had just had, they should have sensed a catastrophe coming.
Without the captain, everyone wants to say a few words at this moment, command, they all have their own opinions. More people were anxiously scolding and trying to make the boat run faster. But the wind is so strong, the faster we run, the faster the enemy will run, and they may even run faster than us.
At first I could only see two ships on the horizon in the distance, but in a few moments they were already on the horizon, and at this speed they might catch up with us in three or four hours.
"Throw all the cargo in the cabin!" I say.
"No way!" There was a bold guy who immediately objected.
"After they catch up, are you going to offer these goods on your knees with your hands, or will you be tied up and let them count them themselves?" I asked him rhetorically.
He stopped talking.
"Everyone!" I shouted: "Go to the hold and move the goods, throw away everything you can, we have too much cargo on board, we have to ......"
Before I could finish my sentence, the group was already in action.
Soon boxes of goods were lifted out of the hold, with cloth, ironware, pottery, handicrafts, leather, and even fruit.
"Throw! Throw it away! Throw them all into the sea! I waved my hand.
"There's still one in the hold!" Someone shouted.
"Throw these first!" I commanded.
These things that could have been exchanged for money were thrown off the ship by whole boxes, and I felt a little sorry for the goods that were floating on the sea or sinking to the bottom without bubbling at the bottom, but when I looked back and saw the two ships behind my buttocks, I threw them harder.
I hope these things will make them stop and salvage for a while, or if they can't, even if it's just a boat chasing us! The two ships came together, and we were doomed.
Throwing cargo should be useful, I feel it is, and it seems that the distance between us is not continuing to decrease.
That's good!
The sun has set in the west, and I am looking forward to the night, and I wish there was no moon tonight, if only there were no stars! It's okay to rain a little, as long as it's not a storm, it doesn't matter if it's going to be two days, three days or four days!
"Evacuated!" Someone walked out of the cabin with a large basket of vegetables in his arms.
Looking at the pile of this pile on the deck, three piles have been thrown away so far, and I suddenly feel a little reluctant to look at the pile of food stuff.
"Wait and see!" I looked back at the ship in the distance again, and there was only one left, and sure enough, there was only one left!
"Don't throw it away." I said, "It's all food, and if we don't find our way home, we'll be able to live for a while." ”
"There's another ship behind it." One person said.
"I know, if it's just that ship, maybe we'll have a chance to fight!" I say.
At this point, I felt like we were probably going to survive, and the sun was already sinking into the sea behind us. Although the ship behind him was still in hot pursuit, it was ...... at this speed Tsk, if they don't have a better way, I think we'll have to wait until we get ashore to catch up.
I thought I would get rid of them after nightfall, but yesterday the moon was full, and today it is full. The large, round moon illuminated the entire sea with sparkling silver sparkles. If you're here for sightseeing or fishing, this view will really add a bit of fun, but we're running for our lives now!
I can't understand why this ship of goblins is so persistent, is it because of a loss of face or is there some ulterior secret?
"If we let you drive back to the island we escaped, will you be able to find your way back?" I asked.
The helmsman snorted, "I'm never going back." ”
"I mean if."
"There are no ifs." He said firmly.
"What about you?" I asked another person.
The much younger lad said, "Why go back?" ”
"You're amazing." I say. "I'm just asking you if you remember how you can find their lair again. All you have to do is answer me...... If you can or can't, who cares if you want to go back or not. ”
"And what do you want to do?" The helmsman asked me.
"How did you do that?" I say.
"Direction." He said, "That's probably it, it's just an approximate direction, we don't record the voyage, we don't record the time direction, so it's just an approximation." He continued: "There was no compass, that is, no direction record, can you understand what I mean?" ”
I nodded, I could still understand what that meant, but if I was asked to do it, I probably wouldn't be able to do it.
At this time, the people on the lookout shouted again, and when I looked back, I was almost frightened, and I didn't know when the boat that had fallen behind caught up, and the speed of the trip was obviously accelerated.
This guy ...... Are they done fishing?
Someone very consciously rushed to the deck to pick up the box and was about to throw it, but I yelled to stop it. They all stared at me strangely, "It's useless, don't throw it away." I said, looking down at the hazy sea ahead, "The best thing we should do now is to stuff ourselves up with the little time we have left." ”
Seeing that they didn't understand, I explained, "We can't escape, and it may not take long to catch up with us, but ...... We still have to resist, and we have to die when we are full......" Seeing the expressions on their faces, I said, "And...... We're not going to die, I think it's more likely to be caught, but in the next few days after we are caught, or in the future, this meal will most likely be the last full meal you'll ever eat. ”
I pointed at them and yelled, "Eat! ”
Except for the helmsman, I saw everyone pounce on the pile of food. The ruthlessness of stuffing it into his mouth really feels like a starving ghost, and it feels light to describe it as gobbling it up.
As we got closer, the goblins behind me began to fire their guns at our ship, and I felt that this kind of deterrent was still very useful, and the well-fed crew members were probably taken aback by the last battle, and the enthusiasm for the battle did not seem to be high at this time.
I don't know what words to use to motivate them, whether to fight for the country or die for the king. For the sake of freedom is obviously not of interest to them, but for the sake of the family? For their lovely daughter and son? What about the woman you love?
"Brothers! We still have to make a final resistance! Can't give up! Now give up all we can get is endless abuse, the most painful oppression, and the labor from which we can only be freed unless we die. We're not going to change just because we're living one more day. ”
"I'd rather fight and die standing than I do! Like a warrior to meet fate! Even in Hell, you can proudly tell the ghosts that you died without fear of death. You won't be ashamed of your timidity, you won't have to regret what you did in the past, if you have family, loving people, lovely children, for them, for more children don't have to lose their fathers again because of these miscellaneous things! We're going to fight! Fight! For the sake of our love, for the sake of our children! Fight to the end! Fight to the end! ”
It was the first time I had spoken to so many people in this way, and I was so moved that I felt a little excited, and I was even more excited when I saw that they seemed to be infected by me as well. I shouted with them, and this roar in unison made our hearts seem to be connected.
They were approaching, and at a distance of less than five hundred meters, they did not choose to fire their guns to deter, but only fired warning shots into the sky. The Gilnesians were all swords-grabbing and staring at each other, and everyone was cheering up for the battle.
Suddenly...... I felt a boat behind me shake abnormally, and I thought it was a mistake when it was dark, but I didn't react when the ship shook again.
"Look!" Someone shouted excitedly.
Do you know how I feel when I see some naga popping out of the already unsteady sea?
Shock!
In addition to the shock, there are ...... It feels like we might have hope of living!
"Everyone!" My voice clashed, "Full speed ahead!" Get out of here! Get ready for battle! ”
"What's that!" Someone is still asking what it is.
"Kraken!" I shouted, "That's the Kraken!" Burn the wind! Full! I shouted and waved my hand, "Everyone stay out of the boat!" Get ready for battle! Don't be too far apart in groups of three! ”
I don't know if they can understand what I'm saying, and they look a little overwhelmed as if they don't understand what I'm saying.
I pointed at them and repeated the command, and I felt a chill as I turned my head to look at the two ships again.
On that night many years ago, it was also at sea, but it was stormy that day, and today the moon and stars are sparse.
"Be careful! Kraken! A trembling voice came, and a big head was revealed on the side of the ship!
It looks like we're going to have a good end tonight.
