Bang!

The dark night sky saw silver snakes dancing wildly, thundering and bursting out, as if the gods were venting their wrath.

The electric light shone on Hopper's face, clearly reflecting the fear and remorse in the eyes of the second son of the earl—

How could there be such a big storm!

And when he saw the broken mast, the whole person was stupid.

Syllable!

A resounding slap knocked Hopper over the deck.

"If you weren't my own brother, I'd cut off your head right now!"

Behind him came the voice of his brother Horace, and Hober struggled to get up in a daze, and muttered:

"I ...... I didn't expect it to be like this......"

Horas was even more angry when he heard this, and stepped forward to grab his brother by the collar and spat wildly in his face:

"Of course you didn't expect that! What a fool, your mind is full of sea water and persimmons! Is it just a woman to put everyone in danger? ”

"I just heard...... There are some unclimated pirate ...... in the waters around the Stone Steps Islands."

Horace really wanted to screw his brother's head off now, but after a long time of breath, he finally pushed Horber to the ground and shouted:

"You immediately organize soldiers for me to be on guard, and if there are really pirates, you will be the first!"

"Yes...... Hopper lowered his head and didn't dare to refute, but his eyes still flashed with vicious hatred.

Horace turned and left, but suddenly found a person standing in the shadows behind him!

Bang!

A flash of lightning flashed, and Horace saw the face of the visitor—

Samwell Caesar!

Horace's heart skipped a few beats, and it took a long time for him to squeeze out a smile: "Sam, it's you, scare me." How long have you been there? ”

Samwell looked deeply at the two brothers and grinned:

"I just arrived. What's going on? ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Horace pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's just a small storm, we've seen this kind of thing a lot, you have to trust the skills of the sailors on Qingting Island." ”

"Okay." Samwell nodded, "If you need help, feel free to send someone to call me." ”

"Okay. By the way, and Miss Natalie, she's okay. ”

"I was going to see her."

"Please convey the Redwyn family's apologies on your behalf."

"I will."

Turning around, the smile on Samwell's face was instantaneous, and an undisguised killing intent flashed in his eyes!

Hopper Redwin!

Of course, Samwell knew he couldn't be reckless.

The second son of Earl Paxter was not a wild man in the mountains, a wanderer in the river bend, and he could not be killed casually.

In this regard, he must learn from the conspirator Petyr "Littlefinger" Berish - how to kill a person without leaving himself under suspicion.

He needed to set up a small stage and find a scapegoat......

Knock knock.

"Who?"

"It's me, Samwell."

It took a while for the hatch to be opened, and the pale-faced maid almost fell down when she tried to salute.

Samwi reached out to hold her, "Miss Natalie is alright. ”

"Miss...... She just threw up before she lay down......"

Samwell walked into the cabin and saw Natalie lying on the bed with her hair disheveled.

"Sam ......"

"Are you alright?" Samwell sat down on the edge of the bed and touched the little girl's forehead.

It's a little hot.

"I'm so uncomfortable...... "The little girl took Samwell by the arm pitifully and buried her head in his arms.

Such a storm is a little difficult for a man of Samwell's physique, let alone the delicate Natalie.

"It's okay, the storm will pass soon."

"Woo-Sam, I'm not going to King's Landing...... Woo, I don't want to go back to Starfall City...... Shall I go back to Hawksbill Island with you...... Woohoo......"

"Alright, alright, go to sleep, get up and you'll be fine." Samwell gently patted Natalie on the back.

Outside the house, there was the sound of thunder and violent wind and rain, and there were faint shouts of all kinds. The dim lights in the room flickered non-stop, but it seemed to be the only warmth in the chaotic world.

……

Finally lulling Natalie to sleep, Samwell leaves the room softly.

The storm outside showed no signs of getting better, and even became more violent.

The dense raindrops soaked his clothes in an instant, and when the wind blew it, it was a little chilly. Samwell also felt like his stomach was being clutched by a large hand, and he needed to do everything in his power to suppress the urge to vomit.

The dark night sky, the firelight of lightning from time to time, in that fleeting light, Samwell suddenly saw a thrilling scene-

On the rough sea, several longboats with triangular sails rose and fell with the huge waves, sometimes they were thrown into the air by the waves, splashed high when they fell, and sometimes the whole boat was covered by the huge waves, and it took a long time to get wet out of the waves.

They are like spirits jumping on the sea, or more accurately, devils crawling out of hell!

"Pirates! Pirate! ”

Hurried shouts rang out from the deck.

Apparently, Samwell was not alone in spotting the longships cruising nearby.

"Get ready to fight! Get ready for battle! ”

Samwell hears Horace's hoarseness, but is quickly drowned out by the rumbling thunder.

Damn it!

Samwell's face began to turn pale, this was not the battlefield he was used to at all.

In the storm, he barely even stood firm.

And the personal guards he brought with him were equally unaccustomed to the bumps of the sea.

At this time, facing the pirates, he could only pray that the soldiers of Qingting Island were strong enough.

Despite their reputation, there are only five warships here, and no one knows how many pirates there are on the other side.

It is even more unclear whether the other party is crazy in his brain, or if he really has enough confidence to dare to start a battle in this kind of ghost weather.

Another long bolt of lightning pierced the sky, lingering for three or four seconds.

The whole sea was shrouded in it, as if it were day.

With this light, Samwell finally saw everything in front of him clearly.

However, he would rather not see anything himself.

In the waves around the fleet, there were as many as sixty or seventy longships, and they followed their prey closely like bloodthirsty gray wolves.

And among the wolves, there is also a wolf king-

It was a dhow, with a slender and low dark red hull, and its sails as black as a starless night sky—

Yes, in the midst of such a violent wind, it dares to open its sails!

Driven by the bulging sails, this warship, which was only half the size of the flagship of the Qingting Island fleet, approached as quickly as a sharp arrow.

The sharp bow of the ship crushed the waves like a blade, and in the pile of snow that rolled up, a statue of a black iron girl loomed.

She stood in the bow of the ship, one arm outstretched, her long black iron hair flowing behind her head, and a pair of eyes made of bright white pearls that shone with the brilliance of thunder and lightning.

But she didn't have a mouth.

At this time, Samwell finally saw the name of the warship-

Tranquility.
