Chapter 56: The Cargo Ship Is Captured

As one shell landed on the side of the cargo ship, more shells rained down. The entire cargo ship was shaking, and the ice was blasted out of one crater after another by shells. The sea was full of huge splashes. Although Geraint and the others drove away Lima and his fish-man troops, the cargo ship was temporarily immobilized due to damage. Several gunboats were coming towards them, and everyone on board was almost in despair.

Suddenly, another shell landed near the ship, and the violent shaking of the explosion caused Joshua to almost fall into the sea. "Ahh

"No, these ships are flying the flag of Roger's Pirates. Geraint looked into the distance.

"Roger Pirates, aren't they their own people?" Joshua asked curiously, "You can't mistake us for the Empire's merchant ships, do you?"

"The cargo ship can't move now, and there are a lot of enemy warships, and we're in a bad situation right now!" Geraint frowned.

"Uncle Geraint, look! The guy standing at the bow of the ship is also a fish-man, not like a member of Roger's pirates. Joshua said, pointing to the gunboat at the front. A fishman resembling the frosty fishman formerly named Lima, armed with a steel fork and shield, and covered in green scales, stood at the front of the ship.

"Sure enough, it was the accomplices of the fish-men just now, and from the color of his skin, he looked like the legendary frozen fish-men. Looks like they've sent a large force this time!" Geraint felt that the situation was critical.

"It's a cargo ship with no guns, let's shoot rockets!" Joshua shouted to the crowd. The men on board took up their weapons and fired at the gunboat with the flag of Roger's Pirates in the distance.

The people on the cargo ship continued to shoot rockets at the gunboat on the opposite side, but the Frozen Fishman used his shield to create an ice wall that blocked some of the rockets that were fired at him. While their gunboats were firing at the cargo ship with their guns, they kept approaching the target, forming an encirclement trend. Although Geraint and Joshua led the ship's men to resist with all their might, the disparity in strength between the cargo ship and the warship was too great, and they were eventually surrounded by enemy gunboats and taken prisoner.

"Will the Roger Pirates collude with these fishmen to rob passing cargo ships?" asked Joshua.

"This cargo ship has been disguised by the Lord of Haig, and the enemy will not be able to recognize us as coming from the Wings of Freedom. And what are they robbing the cargo ship for?" Geraint felt that something was wrong.

"Uncle Geraint, we're surrounded by them now, what next?" Joshua had an anxious look on his face.

"Let's hide in the cabin and observe the situation! Seeing that the enemy did not go on board the ship one by one, but only hooked the cargo ship with an iron hook and prepared to escort it to other places, Geraint hurriedly pulled Joshua and ran back to the cabin.

The cargo ship was towed by gunboats away from the crushed ice and escorted to another branch of Craigie Island, Mick Island. When the ship arrived at the Longbridge Pier, a large number of soldiers on board began to expel the people on board one by one and began to inspect the cabins one by one.

"Uncle Geraint, what are we going to do now?, Mallory City and the Forest Ranger have all been captured by the enemy to cover us?" Joshua and Geraint hid in a very secret corner of the cabin.

"We have to find a way to get out as soon as possible, and then find a large force to go to the island to save people. Geraint replied, "Now we must not make any noise. ”

"Hey, I see!" Joshua nodded.

"Help, indecent people, what are you going to do!" As Gerante and Joshua held their breath to avoid being searched by the enemy, a familiar voice sounded in the cabin. Joshua and Geraint looked out of the corner and saw that the cry was from Haig's daughter, Henar. No one knows how Hernar managed to sneak aboard the ship on the day Joshua and his party went out to sea, and hid until now without being discovered. But apparently her good fortune has come to an end, and now she has been caught by the enemy soldiers.

Geraint and Joshua could only look at each other helplessly. "Why did this aunt slip out again!" Joshua shook his head.

"Now is not the time to be depressed, let's fight quickly while the number of enemies is small!" As soon as Geraint's words fell, he rushed out of the place where he had been hiding.

Fortunately, there weren't many enemies who entered the cabin to search for them, and Geraint's sudden appearance quickly stunned them all.

"When did you sneak out, why don't we know?" Joshua glared at Hernar.

"You want to care?" said Hernar, arguing, "but where you were hiding just now, and you weren't discovered by the enemy." I was hiding far enough to be caught by them. ”

"What a troublesome woman! Everywhere you go, it's a scourge. Joshua looked displeased.

"What are you talking about, little bastard?" exclaimed Hernar.

"Now is not the time to quarrel, we need to find a way to escape!" Geraint opened the hatch and beckoned the two of them to leave together as soon as possible.

"I think we're going to have a tragedy this time!" the three men had just stepped out of the passage to find that the enemy had arrived, and their shiny spears were pointed at their heads. Joshua sighed.

"Haha, there are three more fish that slipped through the net, just take them together!" commanded an armored infantry commander at the head of his men.

"These two men are going to mine on the island, and as for this woman, let's go to the mine's canteen to work as a cleaner!" the soldiers discussed privately, and then escorted them to the mining area on the island.

On the way to be escorted, Geraint found that the banner of the Blue Dragon Knights was clearly visible along the way, and the entire island of Mick was now occupied by them. And the gunboats flying the flag of the Roger Pirates just now are also from the Blue Dragon Knights, and it is obvious that they are pretending to be the Roger Pirates to rob passing ships and capture the people on board to the island to act as strong men.

Inside the royal palace of the Floating City, Parsa was talking to a mysterious man in gray robes in a dark corner. Due to the dim light, the mysterious man did not reveal his true face, but there was an eerie atmosphere around him that made people shudder.

"King Bixia, everything is going according to Jihua. Now the whole island of Mick is full of strong men, and I'm sure we'll have a harvest soon. The corner of the gray-robed mysterious man's mouth showed a wicked smile.

"Very well, you are very clever. In this way, we can not only hide people's eyes, but also blame all the blame on Roger's pirates, so as to win more places to help us encircle and suppress this group of pirates. Parsa laughed, "I've been letting you do these things for a few years, and I've wronged you a little. When we've wiped out the Roger Pirates, I'll be sure to reward you heavily. When the time comes, I will hand over the entire Blue Dragon Knights to your command. Miranda, after all, is Roger's wife, and I am very uncomfortable with her. And it is very likely that Roger's pirate group was established by Roger, this guy is very cunning and a difficult opponent. ”

"King Bixia, just wait for my good news. When have I ever let you down?" said the gray-robed mystery man.

Joshua and the other three were escorted to the island's mines. There are a lot of strong men who have been captured by the Blue Dragon Knights and are mining non-stop.

"We'll look for an opportunity to escape later. Once you succeed in escaping, you should hurry to my home, you will not be a lady here! Joshua said to Heinal.

"No! I managed to slip out of the island, so I don't want to go back!" Henar snorted.

"Hurry up, hurry up, be honest with me, don't try to escape, or I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish." The soldiers of the Blue Dragon Knights shouted at them. Moments later, the three were taken together to one of the pits.

"From today onwards, you will give me honest work here, and when you are done, I will let you go back!" the soldier escorted the three to their destination and left the mine.

"Yo, the newcomers are quite strong, and the uncle's work will be yours in the future. Seeing Joshua and the other newcomers, a man with bare upper body and sharp red hair appeared in front of the three of them in the pit.
