Chapter 587: The First Side of the World (Asking for Votes)

The next morning, after a night's rest, everyone was shaking again.

The feeling of sleeping on the ground was very different from the feeling of sleeping on a boat that was constantly rocking, Lorraine only felt that she had never been so comfortable, she never slept on the ship, how could she sleep until dawn like today.

At the first dawn, the sailors who had camped on the beach all got up and began to pack their things noisily and prepare to return to the ship.

Awakened by the movement of his men, Lorraine rubbed her eyes and crawled up.

The sun is still below sea level, the weather is cool, and the fresh air has a salty smell peculiar to the sea, and if you look closely, there is also a burning smell in it.

Bai Shou was on the ground where the seized financial reports were stacked, and his chubby body leaned against the box containing gold and precious stones, and slept contentedly.

Leo, like Shiro, slept next to the chests, falling asleep looking at the treasures in front of him, and the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the boxes.

In the thin morning mist, everyone got on the ship and returned to the battleship, while the rest loaded the boxes piled on the beach and transported them back to the battleship.

While everyone was busy, Lorraine stood on the shore and looked back at the buildings on the shore that had been ravaged by artillery fire.

The pirates have been wiped out, the pirates' bases have been destroyed, and there is not even a single intact house left on the island.

With the whining sea breeze, there seemed to be some strange sound mixed in.

Lorraine listened intently, and in the cold morning breeze, a cry could be faintly heard.

It should be the families of the pirates on the shore, or the hostages, women and children they have taken captive. Even coerced slaves.

Yesterday, the people on the island were carefully screened, those who should be killed were killed, those who should be punished were punished, and the rest of them were innocent and thrown aside.

They did not dare to approach the fierce SS men, for they had been frightened by the battle of the previous day, first with a hellish fire, and then with these armed soldiers rushing up and slaying almost all the pirates.

They only dared to stay away from the sailors of the Victory.

Originally, they were able to survive under the high pressure of the pirates, but now that the pirates have been exterminated by themselves, they must not know what to do for a while, and they are full of confusion about the future.

At this moment, someone walked by carrying a box of treasures.

Lorraine thought for a moment, then said, "Wait a minute. ”

The two sailors immediately stopped.

Lorraine walked over, then kicked the box open, only to see that the jewels inside were dazzling.

Lorraine glanced at the two sailors and said, "Put the box down." It's all on my account, you know?"

The two sailors looked at each other, puzzled, but did not dare to ask more, saluted, and then withdrew.

Lorraine took off his wide cloak and placed it over the box, and to prevent it from being blown away, he pulled out another dagger and nailed it to it.

Leo watched from the side, and said in surprise: "What are you doing here? You don't want so much money? This is money, look at my mouth, money"

Lorraine smiled, and said with a look of disdain: "A little money for ourselves, now we don't have anything else, but money, there is"

Leo looked at him with a violent face, and he was very strange at the moment, and couldn't help blinking.

At this time, a gust of wind blew.

Hearing the sound of crying in the wind, Leo suddenly understood, and said, "You are giving money to the inhabitants of the island?

Many of them were family members of the pirates, and it was already an extrajudicial act to not prosecute them.

Others were captured by pirates. We've broken the shackles for them and given them freedom, and that's enough.

You're paying back the money now......"

He paused for a moment, then reached out and touched his forehead, and muttered, "Boss, did I burn it, or did you become hypocritical now that you have two coins to burn?"

Lorraine looked at his white and chubby face, and felt the urge to tickle his hand at the moment, but looking at his bright eyes, he only sighed weakly at the end, and then said: "If those people are the families of the pirates, they have already paid for their sins."

If they were captured by pirates, we would have broken the shackles for them. But how will they live in the future?

In that case, why don't we give them a little more hope? We can't just rescue, we have to resettle.

Leave them some money so they can start their lives again.

Anyway, it's just a matter of doing it. Save people and save lives. If you save someone, give up halfway through the rescue. What's the difference between that and letting go in the first place?"

Leo tilted his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, okay." Who made you the boss. But don't think I'm paying too much. A hundred gold coins at most, and no more. ”

As he spoke, he took out some gold coins from the box next to him and threw them next to Lorraine's cloak.

Then he looked at the gold coins, compared with the box of gold jewelry next to him, he also felt that it was too little, a little embarrassed, and then gritted his teeth, took out some gold coins, and threw them over.

But I felt that it was too much of a loss, and it hurt a little, so my big black eyes turned at the moment, and then I shrank my neck, turned my back, and no longer had these gold coins, while resisting the cold wind of the early morning, I muttered: "These are what I donated for nothing." ”

Lorraine paused for a moment, then said, "I don't think Bai would think so. ”

With what he knew about the elephant. As long as it wants to pay for it, it usually pretends not to understand people.

But Leo grinned and said, "Ann, Ann, although Bai is a fan of money, he has not learned this math well." At most, it will only add within twenty, and beyond twenty, it will not be able to figure it out.

As the boss, I have an obligation to teach him a lesson on the importance of 'study hard and improve every day'. It is lazy and slippery all day long, and does not do business. ”

Lorraine looked at him with a wicked smile on his face, and was helpless for a while. I had to change the subject and said, "By the way, what about Shiro? Why didn't I see it?"

Leo pointed to the sky and said, "It's dizzy, and it doesn't want to take a boat." That's why that bad-hearted old man is flying in the sky with him."

Lorraine glanced up, and saw that above the sea not far away, Lester was hanging in the air, using his wand in his hand, manipulating the elephant to slowly move towards the battleship in the sky.

No matter how far away you are, you can see that the elephant has its eyes tightly closed, and the sweat on its forehead is like a waterfall, rushing downward.

Lester also deliberately made it bad, so that Bai Piao was high, but slow and the same, drifting towards the battleship little by little.

In the middle, he probably suddenly remembered that Bai was out of his money, and the old man Lester smiled, shook his staff, put away the spell, and let Bai come into a free fall in the air.

The mutation protruded, and Bai Xiao screamed and kicked in the air, and after two or three seconds, he froze again in a low place on the sea.

Lester laughed with one hand on his waist and one hand on the sky.

Lorraine smiled bitterly at the moment and said, "It's really pitiful, this kid." ”

Leo looked at it, but pouted and said, "It was self-inflicted." Seeing that it didn't want to get on the boat, the evil-eyed old man walked over with a smile and said, "I have an idea, do you want to try it?"

Leo learned very similarly, and even the tail note was exactly the same as Lester's tone.

Lorraine glanced at him and said, "And then?"

Leo looked at the sky with some hatred, then spread his hands and said, "Then that fool was fooled, and he didn't want to think about it, and I didn't dare to provoke that evil-hearted old guy." ”

He paused for a moment, and saw that Bai had already landed on the deck of the battleship at this time, but he was still lying on the deck, his head buried between the two thick front legs, and he was tightly attached to the deck without moving.

Leo saw it, and his heart ached for a while, and he hurriedly said, "Let's go, let's go." Let's go back quickly. I've got to see, don't let it leave any psychological shadows. This old-eyed old man is very bad. ”

So saying, he tugged at Lorraine's clothes, dragged him briskly to the beach, then jumped on the boat and galloped towards the battleship in the sea.

At this time, some sailors remained on the shore and were putting the finishing touches on it.

They had just listened to the conversation between Lorraine and the two, and they all glanced at each other at this time, and then stepped forward one after another.

They also took out the gold and copper plates on their bodies and threw them next to the box.

It was only after a while, and there were already a lot of gold coins piled up on the side of the box.

The knight's oath of 'integrity, mercy, and humility' is not only a code ......of life for them, but a code of life that is carefully implemented.

Because of this, they are the greatest men of our time. (Note, Hayreddin.) That's right, it's the stinkest guy in "Age of Discovery". Why did he become a great and successful pirate? It wasn't because he didn't just rob the poor of what he did, but also gave money to the poor.)

Immediately, the people boarded the ship and rowed to the battleship.

After a few moments, with the sound of a loud horn, the sailors of the ship immediately pulled anchor and set sail, galloped out to sea, and finally disappeared between the sea and the sky.

All that remained was the cloak that shook incessantly in the wind.

Moreover, these ruffians grabbed a lot of money on the island and tasted the sweetness, and everyone's morale was extremely high. There is even some impatience.

The sailors privately said that this time they were going to kill all the way and rob all the way until they could rob everything they could, which was a big deal.

Therefore, everyone is full of energy.

Coupled with a smooth wind and water, the boat is extremely fast.

It was only in the afternoon of the third day that their warship had already arrived in the open sea of Iron Hook Island.

When the girl named Christina saw the pirate flag fluttering in the harbor, her eyes immediately flashed with hatred and coldness, and she said, "That's right, it's them."

When Lorraine saw it, he didn't say much, and immediately ordered an attack.

The pirates on the island saw a large warship flying the Ruman Empire and SS flags breaking into their territory, and after an initial period of panic, they quickly organized.

The pirates in the harbor boarded the ship parked at the harbor and rushed forward to meet the Victory without showing any weakness, and at the same time the island also sounded the horn of vigilance.

In the eyes of the pirates, although this warship is huge, it is really bold to dare to break into their territory alone, and the pirates can win this warship of Ruman as long as they use a lot of people.

The pirates watched Lorraine's actions, and Lester, Obakhim, Leo, and Bai all watched the pirates on the top deck with a telescope in their hands.

They are also extremely insidious, just waiting for the other party to assemble and get closer, so that when the cannon is fired, the powerful lethality of the cannon can be wielded.

The captain calmly commanded his sailors on deck.

The Victory's massive body swerved nimbly on the surface of the sea, aiming sideways at the pirate ship that was rushing towards the Victory.

At this moment, the pirates saw the honeycomb-like portholes of the Victory, and the water barrier used to prevent water and moisture had been opened, and black iron pipes were sticking out.

The pirates wondered, what the hell are those iron guys?

At this moment, the captain of the Victory waved his hand vigorously and ordered loudly: "Fire"

With the captain's order, the artillery roared.

Then, the crucian carp-like ships were accurately hit by the cannonballs in the roar of the cannons, which first hit the fragile hatches of the pirate ship, piercing the planks like pieces of paper.

The pirate ship that was hit first flew a piece of sawdust, and then the cannonball exploded, and a fireball rose from the pirate ship, and a large piece was gnawed off in an instant.

Some of the ships were hit, turned into pieces by the sound of explosions, and disappeared into the sea in an instant.

The pirates were all stupefied by the fire, and they didn't understand what had happened to the ground.

While they were still there, the sailors of the Victory quickly finished reloading, and the muzzles of their guns were aimed at the pirate ship that was still floating on the sea.

With their devastating and decaying momentum, they sent those already dilapidated ships to the bottom of the sea.

The captain saw that there was no longer a board at sea to threaten the battleship, so he ordered the extension of artillery fire.

As a burst of artillery fire covered the past, the pirates who had fled back to land in a hurry were also in a burst of flesh and blood.

Seeing that they had completely lost their combat power, a large number of seafarers immediately jumped on the ship in a hurry, rushed to the beach, and then let go of the big robbery.

Lorraine watched through the binoculars as they proceeded in an orderly manner, and now these ruffians had gone up to a new level of proficiency after yesterday's robbery, and they were doing it very neatly.

The lord couldn't help but wonder if these guys would come back with a gold medal and show off the prestige of the empire if they went to participate in an Olympiad to grab things.

Leo was already on the side, happily waiting to get off the ship.

At the same time, he still turned around and warned Bai again uneasily, "Bai, I'll tell you again." When you come out to mix, you must be moral.

When you farm a dungeon, you can't be like that day, and it's black gold and black equipment. That way, no one will take you to play in the future.

And that's not bad.

If you meet one or two bad-hearted guys, open two first-class numbers, and place your corpse, at that time, the reputation will really stink. ”

Bai listened to it next to him, and at the moment he was embarrassed to droop his big ears and nod his head again and again. But then I saw the boat that sent people ashore and galloped back, and I couldn't help but have a golden light in my eyes, and I was very eager to try.

Looking at the way it looks, it is obvious that it did not take Grandpa's words to heart.

Lorraine glanced at it, and then said, "Forget it, pass my orders, and don't go down." ”

Leo turned his head in surprise and exclaimed, "What did you say?"

Bai also snorted dissatisfiedly next to him.

Lorraine sighed and said, "Are you blind?"

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the somewhat empty harbor, and said, "Look, how many ships are parked here? The pirates have all gone out to do business, and although we have raided their lair, we have not caught their main force."

If everyone runs down at this time, it will be their turn to copy our lair."

Leo looked up, sighed, and then turned away in frustration.

Shiro couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw Leo leave.

He blinked, and then realized that this time he couldn't get off the boat to grab money and things

Therefore, it couldn't help but be frustrated, and followed Leo, hanging its long nose listlessly, and stepped aside.

The situation was as Lorraine had expected.

After a while, an intelligence officer returned by boat, and the pirates were not in the harbor, but outside, and the people on the island did not know when they would return.

Lorraine hesitated for a moment, then walked over to the table and looked at the huge chart above, thinking.

Where are those pirates?

Did they get the news and fled?

But then, he dismissed the suspicion. Not to mention that the enemy does not know the strength of the battleship, even if he does, the ship is far inferior. It's impossible to know.

That means they're out to rob again.

Lorraine gestured his finger twice on the chart, and silently thought: if those pirates had stolen something from the Unicorn, they would have to go back to port and bring back the loot. And then I have to go out and rob again. These take time.

In other words, those pirates will definitely not go far

Thinking of this, he immediately raised his head and said, "It doesn't matter. They'll definitely not go far, and they'll give me everything they can burn in their port. When they see the fire in the nest, they will definitely run back like rabbits on fire on their butts. ”

The officer agreed, then turned to leave.

Lorraine looked at the chart and carefully calculated the time it would take to get from this place to Vatino. You know, the Great Council of Light composed of the cardinal archbishops is about to convene, and he must deliver both Obakhim and Shirmel on time.

At that moment, I heard the sound of footsteps.

Lorraine turned her head to look, and saw a slender and graceful figure in the harsh sunlight at the door.

The man walked in slowly.

With picturesque eyebrows and a beautiful face, she is none other than Ney'an's cardinal, Hilmelia, the daughter of the gods.

Lorraine looked at it and said, "Why are you here?"

Schilla smiled and said, "I asked her to accompany that Christina." At that girl's age, such a tragic thing happened. It's so undeserved. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but let out another long sigh.

Lorraine couldn't help but be gloomy. Although he also tried his best to seek justice for the girl and avenge the blood hatred. But no matter what, the girl's relatives are no longer there.

At the same time, he also strengthened his beliefs. Like smugglers or something, these things can be tolerated, and like that kind of unscrupulous, ungrateful pirates, they must not be allowed to live in this world

Shirmel looked down at his chart, digressed the subject, and said, "Are you looking to see when we will be able to reach the Holy City?"

Lorraine smiled and said, "Aren't I afraid that you will be in a hurry?"

Shirmel sighed softly, then sat down next to her, and said, "Actually, my teacher has already told me.

Although I wanted to go earlier, that place is now full of undercurrents, power struggles, and disputes.

If we don't show our faces, they won't pay attention to us. Even if it arrives early, it won't help.

On the contrary, the more you make a move here, the stronger the force you show, the higher the influence, and the more powerful we will be when we arrive in the Holy City. ”

At this point, she rolled her eyes and said, "If only you could block the entire Mediterranean." Needless to say, maybe the Grand Council will be forced to elect me as the Pope. ”

She shook her show mischievously, blinked her beautiful eyes and flew over, and then said, "First female Pope Shilmelia, what do you think of this name?"

Lorraine looked at her charming appearance and couldn't help muttering: "I don't know what the name is, but I know that as the adulterer of His Majesty the Pope, I will definitely be happy." ”

Schillea glared at him with beautiful eyes at the moment, then took a sip and said, "Yes, you must be the most successful white face in the world." That's okay, right?"

Lorraine froze for a moment.

At the same time, he was also keenly aware of the anxiety that flashed behind Schille's smile, thought for a moment, and hurriedly said: "By the way, His Majesty the Pope, I don't know if you will let me kneel when you are going to be crowned? “

"Hmm," Shirmel said in a nasal voice, then slightly diagonally propped her smooth forehead, "I'm going to think about this seriously." ”

Immediately, a wrinkled nose and replied categorically: "No"

Lorraine glared at the moment.

Before he could speak, Sylmelia's beautiful eyes rolled and she continued: "However, just as in your story, the Egyptian queen Cleopatra did for the peerless hero Caesar on top of her ceremony, I will also prepare a thick cushion for you." “

Lorraine lost her voice and said: "You compare us to that pair of adulterers, although everyone is in the same disease, but they all didn't end well." ”

Sirmelia took a sip, her face was flushed, her eyes were watery, she glanced at him with silky eyes, and said softly: "What adulterer and woman, sympathize with each other, why do you say it's so ugly......"

At this time, the port was already under the order of Lord Luo, and the flames were soaring into the sky. The billowing smoke reached into the sky, but it was also very similar to the scene when Caesar and Cleopatra fought the enemy in the great port of Alexandria.

What they didn't know was that the pirates were not out to rob, but to pay tribute to the Imperial Navy of Siloria.

At sea, not too far away, nearly fifty ships of the Siroli Empire were conducting military exercises......
