Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 162 Chase at sea

Eventually Owen decided to let the people from Queen Island come on board because he was curious about what had just happened.

If it were the previous world, even if he was curious, Owen would choose to endure it, because the water in that world was too deep, and with his small body, he couldn't even reach Emile, so how could he dare to wander around casually.

It's different here. There are many tortoises in the shallow water, but there are no big crocodiles. Even if you accidentally miss it, you will treat it as if you were bitten by a tortoise and immediately chop it up and make the stew.

But what Owen didn't expect was that all the people who came were women, even the soldiers.

It is not that there are no men on Queen's Island, but men are only responsible for production and production, and women rely on women to show up and fight. Therefore, the dozen or so people who came to Queen's Island are all women, ten of whom are soldiers carrying muskets and daggers, and the remaining The next ones were civil servants and maids, headed by a mature female aristocrat in her thirties.

What’s interesting is that the people of Queen’s Island have an incomprehensible hobby for leather clothes. Both the soldiers and the leading nobles wear leather clothes of various colors. The higher the status, the more exquisite and close-fitting the leather clothes are. Owen can’t help but look at them a few more times.

There is no way, there are no stairs on the sailboat that can be put down for people to walk up step by step. In addition to the rope ladder, the most convenient thing is the rope net.

The rope net made of thick hemp rope is very strong and has a large grid, which makes it easy to climb up. However, don't expect the movements to be very elegant. No matter how ladylike you are, you still have to stick your hips out and twist your hips. Climb, it just so happens that Owen's eyesight is very good.

"Do people from Queen's Island have higher status as their backs rise?" Owen murmured, and then came back to his senses, secretly thinking that he hadn't relaxed for too long, and he was distracted at this time.

Thinking of this, Owen returned to the captain's room and waited for the other party to come to see him. After all, the other party was someone who wanted something from others.

However, Owen had forgotten that women in Queen's Island have the strongest fists. His actions obviously annoyed the other party. After all, in the eyes of the people in Queen's Island, he was just a pirate leader, and he had no identity at all.

But the presence of the Gale calmed down the angry Abigail a lot. She calmly stopped her men who were also angry, and then let Lao Rui, who was scared to death in a cold sweat, to lead the way.

Abigail looked at the surroundings along the way and found that this was obviously a new ship. The rows of cannons had not even been corroded by the sea water. The sailors were also composed of two parts, one part was disgusting pirates. The other part was obviously soldiers trained by descendants of savages. Although they were short in stature, they had high morale and were equipped with a large number of muskets. They seemed to be no ordinary cannon fodder.

"Captain, the envoy from Queen's Island has arrived." Lao Rui bowed his head and said in front of the door.

"Let them in." As soon as Owen's voice came, Lao Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

The people of Queen's Island are not easy to mess with, and their captain is also not easy to mess with. He is an old pirate who has always suffered from being caught in the middle.

The young voice stunned Abigail, and then she opened the door unceremoniously. She was about to give the other party a blow, but she was stunned again.

She has seen many pirates, but for such a handsome pirate, no, he is definitely not a pirate. His aristocratic temperament makes him look more aristocratic than her. To call him a pirate is simply an insult.

As for why he calls himself a pirate, Abigail will understand after thinking about all the fun things those noble young people do.

In fact, their Queen's Island is not the same, otherwise this fatal thing would not have happened.

"Your Excellency Captain, I am Abigail, a noble from Queen's Island. I am here to seek help." Abigail bowed slightly to show respect. After all, judging from the other person's temperament, his status is not low, let alone Now I have something to ask for.

"Destroy the bone-eating shark or rescue the hostages." Irving looked at the other party playfully and said.

"Rescue the hostages." Abigail paused for a moment and sighed.

"I'm not sure, I can only say I'll try my best." Irving heard that it was true and shook his head.

"Queen's Island will pay generous rewards for this." Of course Abigail knew how difficult it was, but thinking about the people who had been robbed, she immediately promised.

"This is not a question of reward. The Bone-Eating Sharks are a bunch of lunatics. Even if you can beat them, can you expect them to surrender or release the hostages?" Owen asked.

Abigail was speechless, because she knew the bone-eating sharks and these madmen too well, otherwise who would dare to kidnap people from their Queen Island easily.

"Now we can only take one step at a time, fight first and then talk about it." Irving also said helplessly, unless the bear method of rescuing hostages was adopted, otherwise he would have to be controlled by the other party.

"Please." Abigail took a deep breath, and the leather jacket on her chest made a strange noise before she slowly exhaled it, and then she said to Owen when she calmed down.

Owen nodded and informed Lao Rui to go to the Pirate Island to gather a group of people before setting sail.

It took almost two hours from the time the people from Queen Island got on the boat to getting ready to set off, but the Bone-Eating Shark's boat was still within sight, so there was no problem of not being able to find the people.

This is not surprising. The speed of the sailboat is not as fast as expected. Even a water bike will do. Sometimes we set off in the morning and at noon we can still see the sails going away from the dock.

Like pirate plunder, it is common for two or three days to catch up with a targeted ship.

Fortunately, the Gale is a new ship, and the Flying Fish is mainly brisk, much faster than the two ships of the Bone-Eating Shark, and they will catch up when it is almost dark.

"Did the Bone-Eating Shark just plunder?" Owen asked after seeing that the two ships of the Bone-Eating Shark had deep water lines.

"Yes, those crazy people were going to the Pirate Island to sell off their stolen goods, but as a result..." Abigail's face turned ugly as she spoke. It was obvious that the bone-eating shark saw someone and snatched the person away on a temporary basis.

"I will order the gunfire in a moment to slow down the speed of the bone-eating shark as much as possible. You will take the opportunity to join the gang. It is up to you whether you can rescue the hostages." Owen calculated the speed and said to Abigail.

"Okay." Abigail said and went to gather people.

The Flying Fish was used by Owen as a destroyer, focusing on speed and flexibility. Therefore, it was only equipped with twelve artillery pieces, including five sub-cannons on each side and two cannons on the bow. Watanabe, who received the semaphore at this time, immediately ordered His gunners loaded the cannon.

The cannon's barrel is longer, so the loading process is more cumbersome, but the shells have faster speeds and more stable trajectories, making them most suitable for attacking pursuing enemies.

With the sound of two cannons, two cannonballs arced across the arc and fell into the sea, and then there was a monotonous sound of cannons. Occasionally, there was a hit. A simple metal cannonball could not exert much lethality. It was better to break the wooden planks and splash the wood. Sting shards do more damage.

Owen couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene, but naval warfare is like this. Unless it evolves to the point where everyone uses missiles to fool each other, they can only try their luck. If they want to decide the outcome, they have to rely on boarding battle.

But the passively beaten Bone-Eating Shark doesn't think so. Who dares to work boldly on the deck without knowing when it will be turned into a hedgehog? However, in order to maintain the speed, it must constantly adjust the sail, so it is inevitable that it will be The Flying Fish caught up.
