First mate is not easy
Chapter 23 When the red flag rises, it means the beginning of the massacre.
Lando sat at the dilapidated dining table with his face in his hands, watching Xiaobai eat a small white pomfret the size of a palm and two sardines as thick as little fingers. They were all deep-fried. The man ate very quickly. It is also very quiet, without the habit of other pirates who like to smack their mouths when eating, and will not make a "creaking" sound. After eating, they casually touched their mouths with their sleeves, then pushed away the plate in front of them, expressionlessly Said: "I'm full."
Xiaobai said so, Lando naturally couldn't force it anymore, and took out the remaining pile of cooked fish, which made it easier for those pirates who were jumping up and down after drinking the dark cooking drink - looked at it and threw it away With the drink container in his hand, he yelled at the pirates who swarmed up. For a moment, Lando felt like a farmer, holding a pot of pig feed and putting it there, he could see a large group of eyes at any time. The pig, which was so hungry that it glowed green everywhere, rushed towards him with a snort.
"Today's food is good, kid. It seems that you are good at other than making troubles and making bad drinks. After this meal is full, the brothers will have the strength to work tonight." A pirate with only one eye pinched a fresh sea fish soaked in wine and threw it into his mouth.
"What?" Lando thought that something was wrong with his ears, "What kind of job are you doing? Didn't you just work with Raymond's Sheath once? Didn't take much rest?"
The pirate grinned and rubbed his hands, looking impatient and said, "This time it's Big Fat Fish, a caravan authorized by Royal Frankie. I heard that except for the two escort ships, the ship is not even equipped with a few cannons. All things are tea and silk—tea! silk! Have you ever drank tea? No! I hear it quenches thirst and heat better than the best rum! Ever touched silk? No! I've heard it's better than the world The skin of the best-kept women on the planet is smoother and softer—it’s all from the Eastern Continent, and just a piece of silk is enough for us to renew our outfit from beginning to end! Our captain got the news, the Sheath? Tsk, That was just an appetizer."
... What a big tone, the main ship was stranded and it took an old nose to get it down from the coral reef area. If you have the nerve to say that the commander "appetizer", isn't he afraid of killing you?
Lando touched the tip of his nose, but didn't speak. At this moment, he saw the pirate quickly throw two oily fried sardines into his mouth. He paused, refused a few times, and said, "Today's fish is really good. But kindly remind you, don't give these things to the captain, our captain doesn't eat fish."
Lando let out an "oh", and replied with a paralyzed face, "I've already taken it."
The pirate chewed for a while: "You are still alive."
Lando thought for a while and replied: "I almost died, but Xiaobai rescued me."
"No wonder," the pirate nodded thoughtfully, "I've been walking on the sea for many years, and I'm generally very accurate at seeing people. Xiaobai is definitely not an ordinary guy—just look, when tonight's operation is over, he will definitely not Continue to be wronged in the kitchen...I heard about the things you guys were on the deck before, just his two actions, after tonight, he should be assigned as a forward, and finally, within three months, "the pirate extended Pointing out three fingers, he said, "No matter what, I'll become a stormtrooper...maybe even a first mate."
"You offend people by saying this," Lando said with his eyes narrowed slightly, "What if your first officer hears it?"
"Oh," said the pirate calmly, "you don't know? There is no first mate on board the Mora, and the captain's family is the only family."
"How come?" Lando asked in surprise, "I clearly saw—"
"Balake is just the captain of the charge, and he's helping out temporarily."
The pirate waved his hand, shook his head and muttered, "You really don't know anything", then turned and left, leaving the black-haired young man standing alone on the deck in a mess in the wind... After a moment of silence, he turned around , quickened his pace and walked towards the small kitchen, pushed the door open without even thinking about it, and said hurriedly without raising his head: "Xiaobai, do you know that there is no such thing as a first officer on the Mora?" Creatures! They say that the captain's family is the only one, and Dill is such a pervert! Also, some people say that they will have a vote tonight. It is a Frankie royal merchant fleet with only two escort ships. There are no cannons, and all the goods are tea and silk. Dill has planned it a long time ago, so he has been refusing to go to the shore for supplies for so many days. He really ate the ambitious leopard—what are you doing?"
Lando's words suddenly stopped, and he stared strangely at the man with his upper body naked - under the sun, even if he was wrapped in bandages, it would be difficult to hide his beautiful muscles... But at this moment , the man was maintaining a strange posture, half leaning out of the window, as if he had just thrown something.
Lando stepped forward to look at it, and then saw a flax-colored rag floating on the sea. After thinking about it, it seemed that Xiao Bai was wearing this color of clothes this morning.
Lando was puzzled: "Why did you throw away your clothes?"
"Fish smell," the man curled his lips, "hot."
Lando thought about it, and barely remembered that he seemed to wipe his mouth with his sleeve before—it seems that Xiao Bai really resists fish?Lando frowned, and muttered, "Don't force yourself if you don't want to eat it." Turning his head, he was about to get a few pieces of fresh pineapple for the man with a uncomfortable face to suppress the taste in his mouth, but he accidentally touched it. When touching the skin on his body, he was taken aback: "Why are you so hot?"
"what?"
With a hoarse voice, Xiaobai's eyes were slightly red, as if he was completely unaware of the changes in his body, he gave the black-haired young man a strange look, then walked around him, and went to the place where the fruits were placed, He casually grabbed a peeled whole pineapple, quickly peeled off the nails on it without looking at it, and started to chew when it was aligned - Lando was startled by his appearance, and grabbed the pineapple with his hands The messy pineapple: "You haven't soaked in salt water yet, so you're not afraid to prick your mouth—my mother, your lips are bleeding!"
"Oh."
Xiao Bai licked his lips indifferently, and narrowed his eyes slightly when he tasted the smell of blood.
At the same time, those blue pupils calmly looked at the anxious black-haired young man in front of him with a broken face, his eyes flickered like a wolf in the forest.
Lando was so terrified by his gaze that he couldn't figure out what happened during the short period of less than 15 minutes when he went out to "feed the pigs". In the end, under Xiaobai's indifferent gaze, he He boldly pressed the back of his hand to his forehead - the latter even lowered his tall body, and very cooperatively brought his forehead to a place within reach of his height, watching Lando touch it between his forehead Go, smile and ask: "How is it?"
"What's the matter?" Lando was about to go crazy, looking at the man in front of him like a fool, "You have a fever! What's going on? Could it be that yesterday's whip wound was infected?! Let me see! "
"No infection," Xiao Bai frowned, "I just ate fish."
"What nonsense!"
The man frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied that Lando didn't believe his words, but at this time, before Lando reached out to pick off the bandages wrapped around his body, he had already stretched out his hand and carried the black-haired young man in front of him without saying a word. Standing up—Lando suddenly lifted his feet off the ground and was carried on his shoulders. With a scream, he grabbed Xiaobai's ears and pulled: "What are you doing? What are you doing! Let me down!"
Xiaobai: "I have a fever, go back and get dressed...don't pull your ears, it hurts."
Lando: "..."
what the hell.
Is this burnt out?
Lando was extremely puzzled, but he quickly confirmed a fact: Xiao Bai was really confused.
In the whole afternoon that followed, those who didn't even respond much to the whipping fell on the bed in a half-dead state, and the good people were languid and groggy, and their blue eyes were half-drowsy , looking listless... Lando has never taken care of a patient. In his memory, the last time he took care of a sick life was when he was eight or nine years old, holding a listless parrot and crying to Raymond for help. After laughing for a while, Raymond revived the parrot and let it fly. The parrot did not forget to bite Lando before it flew. From then on, Lando knew that nothing in the world could be compared with Raymond. Get close, as soon as you get close to him, he will be contaminated with the white-eyed wolf's piss - well, this is a digression, so I won't mention it for now.
Right now, Lando saw that Xiaobai was suffering from a fever, so he was also anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and went to Dill to get some medicine, but the answer from the pirate captain was as expected to drive people crazy— —
"It was rescued by your 'Hongfu'. If you have the ability to save him the first time, then you have the ability to save him the second time."
Lando had no choice, he slammed the door of the captain's lounge hard, ran back to his rest cabin on a pair of straw sandals, opened the door, and saw that Xiao Bai was still lying on the bed safely, and his The not-so-delicate mask was quietly placed on the small broken table in the cabin as when he left...
I don't know why, Lando breathed a sigh of relief almost subconsciously, turned around and closed the door again, came to the bed and seriously looked at the man who occupied the whole bed at this moment... It was a hot day, and Xiao Bai was wrapped in a Covered by a thick quilt, only one head was left outside, even the neck could not be seen. It seemed to be falling asleep at the moment. Lando was worried, so he leaned over cautiously, and put his fingers under his nose. explored——
Before he had time to withdraw his hand, he saw the man on the bed slightly opened his eyes, and smiled weakly: "Not dead."
Landon was so embarrassed that he withdrew his hand as if it had been scalded. After thinking for a while, he stretched out his hand again, wanting to untie the bandage on Xiaobai's face—he understands that a patient with a fever needs to sweat to heal, but It's always uncomfortable to have a bandage on his face, so he wanted to untie it for him to breathe, but he didn't expect that the man's hand just touched the edge of the bandage on the man's face, but the other party grabbed it!
Big hands covered his wrists, and the scorching heat from his palms made Lando shiver suddenly. He subconsciously looked at Xiao Bai's hands, only to find that he was actually wearing long sleeves at this moment!
The two looked at each other in silence for a moment, and after a few seconds, Lando felt the hand that was holding his hand loosen.
"Don't touch the bandage."
"Untie it." Lando lowered his voice to persuade, "What should I do if I suffer from heat stroke in this hot day?"
"No." Xiaobai rolled up the quilt, as if he was afraid that he would do it again, and turned around stubbornly, facing the wall and turning his back to Lando, "I have an ugly face, and I don't want you to see it."
"Then...then untie the quilt and take a breath? It's time to cover yourself and sweat, how about changing the bed?"
"No change."
"..."
"Don't worry, it's fine."
Lando didn't speak for a long time, he vaguely heard the man yawned exhaustedly, and said vaguely, "Don't force me to eat fish next time."
I also think about eating something I don't like.
childish.
Lando made a grimace at Xiao Bai's sturdy back, then stood up, carefully opened the window to keep the cabin ventilated--in July and August on the Babylon Sea, the cabin was as hot as a steamer, he He didn't want Xiaobai to smother himself to death... After finishing everything, he quietly closed the door and left the room.
……
When the cool wind blows across the sea, sweeping away the maddening heat of the day on the deck, it is another day when night falls.
In the evening, a round of red sun that was about to sink to the bottom of the sea on the horizon burned the entire sky into a fiery red patch. It was obviously a good time to finish the whole day's work on the deck, pack up and go back to the cabin to rest, Mo The atmosphere on the La was a bit tense—Lando stood on the deck, arms folded, watching these pirates work in an orderly manner despite their chaos—
A group of pirates climbed up the mast, adjusted the huge hourglass on the mast, and tied it with ropes. At the same time, they hung four different flags on the mast. Lando looked at it, and one of the flags belonged to the Mora Mercury's pirate flag, the rest are three solid-colored flags: red, white, and black. Lando doesn't know much about the way pirates operate, so he doesn't know exactly what to do.
While these people were hoisting the pirate flag, the rest of the deck was washing the deck. A group of people were pouting their buttocks and grabbing rags, pushing them from one end of the deck to the other under the yelling of the stormtrooper, doing it in full swing; I was carrying empty wine barrels that were piled up in a mess in the corner, and the useless empty barrels were simply thrown into the sea. They were all snatched anyway, so I didn't feel bad; On the side, while chatting, they wiped their weapons. There were cold weapons like knives and guns. Not many pirates could wear guns, only a few.
Pirates pride themselves on owning a plundered gun—the more noble the gun, the greater the honor.
I heard that Dill's weapon is an exquisite pistol with the pattern of the Silton Royal Navy on it, because he snatched it from the previous Commander of the Silton Royal Navy, and he was stealing other people's weapons At the same time, he hung the commander's head on the mast of the Mora for three days and three nights.
It was probably from that time that Dill's name gradually became famous in the Sea of Babylon.
While thinking about it, Lan Zang subconsciously looked around for Dill. When everyone was ready to go and waited for nightfall to hide and make a big deal, he saw Dill standing at the cabin window on the second deck. He seemed to be staring at a certain direction in the corner in a daze.
Lando was stunned, followed his gaze, and found that there was nothing in the place Dill was looking at, only a bucket of lively fish that was just caught in the afternoon for dinner... This guy was really in a daze majesticly.
Lando thought for a while, then bent over and grabbed a shell from the wet cargo box beside him, and threw it up.
There was a soft "boom", just hitting the golden head - the blond young man who was interrupted by the cold suddenly came back to his senses, and seemed to be about to lose his temper. When he looked down, he found The black-haired young man was looking at himself with his hips crossed and a smile. His appearance accidentally overlapped with the one they used to fight and play on the Shiats. Dilton paused, but in the end he didn’t lose his temper and remained patient. Ask: "What?"
Lando said: "Little Jieluo, let me ask you, did you tell you when you were a child that you have to support yourself if you want something, and there is no future if you just rely on robbing—"
"No." Dill replied without thinking, and at the same time raised a dangerous smile, "If you go on and say one more word, I will throw that dying guy lying in your cabin into Feed the sharks in the sea."
Lando: "..."
Dill narrowed his eyes slightly and hummed provocatively: "Go on."
Lando was hit in the weak spot. He believed that Dill could really do such a thing as throwing Xiaobai into the sea, so he obediently shut his mouth and gave up. At this moment, from behind him, the A stormtrooper who he once thought was the first mate ran over to report to Dill that everything was ready - Lando looked at Dill and nodded, yawned lazily, took out a delicate pocket watch from his pocket and flicked it off He glanced at it, and at the same time, that fluffy little hamster got out of nowhere, climbed onto his shoulder, raised its forelegs, and squeaked twice.
Dill closed the pocket watch in his hand with a snap.
"Order, all on alert, advance at full speed."
After Dill's words fell, the deck was silent for three seconds. At about the fourth second, the pirates finally exploded, and everyone on the deck moved for a while——
"The captain ordered, full speed forward!"
"It's a win, Captain!"
"Give a big vote, go home and hug a woman! Hehe!"
"Every gunner is at his position. The No. [-] assault team is here to gather. Where's the fucking captain? Barek?!"
"Call me, I'm here! The No. [-] assault team is going to gather over there, can the deputy captain do some work, do you want me to feed you grandma?!"
In the chaos, Lando hugged his head and flashed back to his cabin, opened the door, rushed in, closed the door forcefully, and locked it—when he was leaning against the back of the door, his heartbeat could not calm down for a long time. The black-haired young man was still in a ghostly state, and it was hard to believe that he was about to witness a pirate robbing a merchant ship.
But at this moment, the entire cabin was dark, with no lights on, and everything was so silent that it seemed like two worlds on the deck separated by a door.
Lando paused for a moment, and saw the bulging figure on the bed hidden in the shadow of the wall through the blurred outline, and he was relieved to see the bulge rising and falling evenly with the breathing of the man underneath. After a little concentration, I was about to light up the kerosene lamp, but when I touched the wobbly thing and heard it make a soft "creak", I heard a voice from the other side of the bed: "Don't light the lamp."
Lando subconsciously withdrew his hand.
Looking out of the window, the night has completely fallen at this time - at night, there are no lights in the cabin, and nothing can be seen. With the light of stars in the sky and the dim moonlight, I can barely see the outline of the cabin. ...Lando licked his lower lip, hesitated for a while and finally wiped his hands on his clothes, gave up lighting the kerosene lamp, and slowly approached the bed. In the darkness, he heard the man rustling on the bed. There was a rustling sound, probably turning over.
Sure enough, in the next second, he looked at the pair of blue pupils that were still particularly bright in the dark night.
"It's very lively outside," Xiaobai's voice was low and hoarse, tired, "What's going on?"
"I told you during the day that they are planning to hijack a Frankie Royal Merchant Fleet, which contains tea and silk from the Eastern Continent. I heard that it is going to be sent to Silton—"
"What did you say?"
In the darkness, Lando could only feel that Xiaobai's voice became tense in an instant, and at the same time, the person who was lying on the bed suddenly sat up - he was startled, he blinked, and said inexplicably: "Why is there such a big reaction? Didn't you just say it during the day, and you didn't react that much—"
"I was so sick during the day, how did I know what you said?" Xiao Bai frowned suddenly, and Lando vaguely saw that he seemed to raise his hand to mess up his red hair, He seemed a little irritable, and at the same time, his tone of voice sounded a little bad.
Lando didn't blame him.
On the contrary, he asked quite firmly: "Why, do you know the origin of that Frankie's caravan?"
"Yes, I've heard some news that there were not only tea and silk on the ship, but if I guessed correctly, there was also a family member of a duke who might be involved in a political marriage and was sent to Silton on board. The reigning king, Marseus II, wants to make friends with Queen Silton Christine, and originally, this shipment was going to be handed over to the largest royal commercial fleet in Silton to go back and forth in person..."
Lando thought for a while, Silton's largest royal commercial fleet... Uh, doesn't it have the same surname as him?Immediately, I was a little nervous and asked, "And then?"
"The person in charge of the fleet refused."
"..."
"Say no time, the monkey at home ran away and got lost, and the ocean is full of monkey corpses."
"..."
The man lowered his head, glanced at the various complex black-haired young men on his face at this moment, and asked almost deliberately after a pause: "It seems that I heard you say before that you also have a fleet, and the fleet is also The first mate calls the shots, and the first mate's name is Raymond—"
"..."
"The Shitz is your ship?"
Lando couldn't answer, because under Xiao Bai's series of questions, he felt that he was about to suffocate.
"If so, it would be terrible. Your fleet is in danger now?" Xiaobai sighed, "If something goes wrong with the Duke's family in the waters of Silton, I'm afraid Christine will The Flying Queen will also blame her, and at that time, the head of the fleet who rejected her invitation without knowing what to do may also be punished..."
Implicated?
There was no need to continue Xiaobai's words, Lando was already jumping with fear.
What Xiaobai said made his whole scalp tingle. First, he was worried for a while that Raymond's brain was flooded and he was fine. Dill cursed ten thousand times from beginning to end!
"But that's okay, you don't really hate—"
"no!"
"Oh." Xiaobai narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "If you don't have it, you don't have it. What are you doing so loudly?"
Lando didn't even have time to think about where a small ordinary fisherman beside him got so much "inside information", but at this moment, the two people in the conversation suddenly fell into a strange silence, and Lando felt that something seemed wrong, When I came back to my senses, I realized that not only was the silence in their cabin, but at this moment, the deck, which seemed to be extremely lively a second ago, also became completely silent.
In his ears, he and Xiaobai could only hear the breathing of each other, and at this moment, the sound of the waves coming from outside the window.
Other than that, it was eerily quiet around.
This kind of silence completely awakened the memory that has not gone far in my mind. The same experience made the black-haired young man vaguely realize what this meant, and suddenly his hands and feet were as cold as if he had completely lost consciousness. He hurriedly climbed onto the bed with both hands and feet, stepped on the bed, and leaned out to look out. Sure enough, in the gradually rising sea fog, he could see the Mora slowly advancing. Not far away, a little bit of fire can be seen faintly.
Listen carefully, it seems that there is still music coming.
In the middle of the night, with such a high profile, there will be nothing else except the Frankie Royal Merchant Fleet that is about to become a lamb to be slaughtered.
In contrast, the Mora is like a silent ghost, approaching quietly and creepily.
The sailors on the merchant ship still don't know the tragic fate they are about to encounter, just like the drunk sailors on the Seaz that night... Thinking of this, Lando subconsciously held his breath, his whole heart seemed to be convulsed An invisible big hand squeezed it, and it became extremely uncomfortable... At this moment, he suddenly heard a very hoarse voice sounding in his ear: "It seems that Dill wants to play again." He is good at boarding battles, and he is good at quick battles."
Xiao Bai's voice sounded, the hoarse but faintly magnetic voice seemed to have invisible magic power, which slightly relieved the black-haired young man whose internal organs were twitching.
When the man spoke, the scorching breath sprayed all over Lando's earlobe. He felt itchy, and turned his head subconsciously. The pinna touched the lips of the man standing behind him at this moment. The soft touch It made him shrink his ears, but the person standing behind him didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong - he was still tightly wrapped in that thick blanket, standing behind Lando like a chrysalis, A pair of blue pupils watched everything that happened outside the window without blinking...
Looking out from the cabin where Lando was, he could just see what happened on the deck.
In the dark, he saw the hamster raised by Dill nimbly climbing up the mast. When it reached the top, it waved its little paw, accompanied by a light "snap" sound from the rope. In the sea breeze, it belonged to Mo The Mercury's flag on the puller broke free from its restraints and fluttered in the wind.
"This is the first flag, usually the flag of a pirate ship, which symbolizes that the pirates are about to launch Seiko."
Xiaobai leaned close to Lando's ear and said, at the same time, that big rough hand seemed to caress the black-haired young man's earlobe absent-mindedly, Lando was pinched sorely and itchy, and wanted to tell him to stop However, the attention was still attracted by what the man said——
"I saw them hang a total of four flags today..." Lando thought for a while, as if affected by the oppressive atmosphere outside, subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "There is also an hourglass."
After Lando finished speaking, he felt the big hand that was playing with his earlobe pause slightly, and then, the big head that was almost on his shoulder nodded slightly with an almost imperceptible arc: "Well, the hourglass is a timer, Generally, the inverted hourglass symbolizes the start of the attack, and the pirates will probably end the battle before the sand runs out; as for the flags, it depends on personal habits, some pirates don't use so many flags, but Dill is very concerned about face, he cares that people still have some ' He has such an absurd reputation as a gentleman of the sea, so he seems to have followed the old rules to the end."
After Xiaobai finished speaking, Lando subconsciously asked, "What ancient rules?"
"Shh."
Xiaobai's finger on his ear slipped and pressed against his lips, and at this moment, Lando saw outside their window that some changes had taken place on the deck—at first it was because of the Mora. The approach of the ship was finally discovered by the people of the fleet. The moment the music stopped abruptly, the laughter disappeared without a trace. The Mora stopped approaching. When the ship stopped, Lando heard There were terrified cries from the decks of Rankie's fleet.
The deck of the Mora was still silent, but after the terrified calls stopped, someone sneered mockingly.
Lando held his breath subconsciously, as if waiting, watching a cruel plunder between pirates and the plundered was about to unfold under his eyes.
The fingers pressed against his lips were removed, and Xiaobai was so close to Lando at this time, so close that he could almost hear him panting heavily due to the fever... The salty sea breeze blew by, and Lando's eyes were fixed on him. The Mercury pirate flag fluttered in the wind, as if showing its identity to the prey in a show of power.
At Lando's feet, all the pirates on the deck of the Mora stood still—after waiting for a while, it seemed that when everyone on the deck of the Royal Commercial Fleet realized that the pirates were coming, Lando saw, The saucy hamster that was still above the mast waved its paw again.
This time, the second banner unfurled with the wind—it was a pure white banner.
In Lando's impression, the white flag should symbolize "surrender"? -
At this moment, the man's voice sounded in Lando's ear again, the voice was deep and slow, and while he was speaking, Lando could almost feel the vibration in his chest: "This is what I just said The rules handed down by the ancient pirates - the white flag symbolizes "surrender", yes, but in the world of pirates, the white flag does not mean that the pirate ship itself is surrendering, but to show its identity - to indicate the prey The fleet lowered the flag of their country and surrendered obediently... If the prey refuses to surrender, they will raise the third flag tonight, which is the black one you saw, the black and white flags fluttering at the same time, representing pirates Our manifesto——until the prey is captured, we will never give up."
If you don't catch your prey, you will never give up.
"..."
Hearing what Xiaobai said, Lando remained silent, but the expression on his face clearly expressed the shock in his heart. His eyes wandered, and finally fixed on the flag that was still bound by the reins and hadn't let go. , the red side, red, the color closest to blood...
Lando paused, but before he had time to ask, he heard Xiaobai leaning against his ear and whispering slowly: "Pirates have some rules of their own, for example, they won't touch decent women under special circumstances. Fingers——they just want money, they prefer to use the whole of them to exchange a large amount of ransom for those loyal noble ladies, and then go to the island to spend money to live a hot and happy life. Enough for a night of your love and my wish..."
Having said that, the man paused, and looked down at the side face of the black-haired young man who was close at hand—staring at the tiny fluff on his face that was almost invisible under the moonlight, he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking something Said thoughtfully: "If Frankie's caravan is lucky enough to have someone with some common sense about pirates and a clear head on board right now, he might help the commander figure out his relationship with the Mora. The gap in strength—"
In Xiaobai's slow voice, Lando could vaguely hear the voice of the quarrel, and the quarrel came from the Frankie fleet, and the words were spoken quickly and in Frankie , Lando couldn't understand what they were talking about at all, at this moment, he felt the rough fingers kneading on his ears slightly stopped——
"Fortunately, there seems to be such a wise person on board their ship."
"Ok?"
"Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be high enough in rank to convince their commander."
"..."
Xiaobai shook his head and sighed: "The Mora is not in vain. In the entire Sea of Babylon, there are not many fleets that can compete with it. It is also a young leader among the islands... If Frankina The commanders on the side are more sober, can figure out the seriousness of the matter and measure the seriousness of the situation in time, and I am afraid they can minimize the loss. That is to lose some financial resources, at least the most important people on board will not be in danger—”
Before Xiaobai finished speaking, Lando was about to ask Xiaobai what the red flag represented - only to hear the voice of the quarrel suddenly stop, and after a moment of deathly silence, under circumstances that no one expected Next, there was a loud "bang" in the sky, and then, the Mora made the sound of "creak" and "creak" hull vibration, and the whole ship began to shake violently. Lando watched helplessly. The cup fell to the ground and shattered!
Frankie's escort is firing!
The vibrating hull caused Lando to stagger and almost fell out of the window. Fortunately, the man standing behind him quickly grabbed him. At the same time, he seemed to hear Xiaobai's voice sigh of regret...
"——The enemy attacked the captain! The aiming head is not very good, the port side of the ship has been scratched, and now the cabin seems to be flooded, and about one muzzle has been lost."
"Can it be fixed?"
"—Yes, it will take about 10 minutes!"
"I'll give you 15 minutes to fix it. If you can't fix it, you can find a place to die quietly—the rest of the people are ready to attack, Captain Stormtrooper? The hourglass is upside down, start attacking!"
As Dill finished speaking, everyone on the deck began to move, and Frankie's attack seemed to be just a beginning. In the next short period of time, countless shells were fired head-on in the direction of the Mora , and the deck of the Mora quickly regained composure after the initial turmoil with their captain's clear order to put down, and the whole pirate ship moved—when the giant hull slowly moved horizontally, 45 cannons were aimed at The Frankie fleet, at the same time, the ships owned by the charge captains behind the Mora came forward like ghosts and covered the front of the Mora with gunfire!
On the Mora, the pirates on the deck grabbed their weapons. Lando saw the hamster on the mast turn upside down the hourglass that symbolized "the start of the attack".
When the hourglass began to flow silently, the hum of artillery fire was heard at a close distance from Lando, the ship under his feet trembled slightly, and the fired shells threw a perfect arc, and then landed precisely on the right On the left side of the escort ship, there was a loud bang, blasting the escort ship into a huge hole!
The first hit hits the mark!
Fleet Frankie is in turmoil
Xiaobai said so, Lando naturally couldn't force it anymore, and took out the remaining pile of cooked fish, which made it easier for those pirates who were jumping up and down after drinking the dark cooking drink - looked at it and threw it away With the drink container in his hand, he yelled at the pirates who swarmed up. For a moment, Lando felt like a farmer, holding a pot of pig feed and putting it there, he could see a large group of eyes at any time. The pig, which was so hungry that it glowed green everywhere, rushed towards him with a snort.
"Today's food is good, kid. It seems that you are good at other than making troubles and making bad drinks. After this meal is full, the brothers will have the strength to work tonight." A pirate with only one eye pinched a fresh sea fish soaked in wine and threw it into his mouth.
"What?" Lando thought that something was wrong with his ears, "What kind of job are you doing? Didn't you just work with Raymond's Sheath once? Didn't take much rest?"
The pirate grinned and rubbed his hands, looking impatient and said, "This time it's Big Fat Fish, a caravan authorized by Royal Frankie. I heard that except for the two escort ships, the ship is not even equipped with a few cannons. All things are tea and silk—tea! silk! Have you ever drank tea? No! I hear it quenches thirst and heat better than the best rum! Ever touched silk? No! I've heard it's better than the world The skin of the best-kept women on the planet is smoother and softer—it’s all from the Eastern Continent, and just a piece of silk is enough for us to renew our outfit from beginning to end! Our captain got the news, the Sheath? Tsk, That was just an appetizer."
... What a big tone, the main ship was stranded and it took an old nose to get it down from the coral reef area. If you have the nerve to say that the commander "appetizer", isn't he afraid of killing you?
Lando touched the tip of his nose, but didn't speak. At this moment, he saw the pirate quickly throw two oily fried sardines into his mouth. He paused, refused a few times, and said, "Today's fish is really good. But kindly remind you, don't give these things to the captain, our captain doesn't eat fish."
Lando let out an "oh", and replied with a paralyzed face, "I've already taken it."
The pirate chewed for a while: "You are still alive."
Lando thought for a while and replied: "I almost died, but Xiaobai rescued me."
"No wonder," the pirate nodded thoughtfully, "I've been walking on the sea for many years, and I'm generally very accurate at seeing people. Xiaobai is definitely not an ordinary guy—just look, when tonight's operation is over, he will definitely not Continue to be wronged in the kitchen...I heard about the things you guys were on the deck before, just his two actions, after tonight, he should be assigned as a forward, and finally, within three months, "the pirate extended Pointing out three fingers, he said, "No matter what, I'll become a stormtrooper...maybe even a first mate."
"You offend people by saying this," Lando said with his eyes narrowed slightly, "What if your first officer hears it?"
"Oh," said the pirate calmly, "you don't know? There is no first mate on board the Mora, and the captain's family is the only family."
"How come?" Lando asked in surprise, "I clearly saw—"
"Balake is just the captain of the charge, and he's helping out temporarily."
The pirate waved his hand, shook his head and muttered, "You really don't know anything", then turned and left, leaving the black-haired young man standing alone on the deck in a mess in the wind... After a moment of silence, he turned around , quickened his pace and walked towards the small kitchen, pushed the door open without even thinking about it, and said hurriedly without raising his head: "Xiaobai, do you know that there is no such thing as a first officer on the Mora?" Creatures! They say that the captain's family is the only one, and Dill is such a pervert! Also, some people say that they will have a vote tonight. It is a Frankie royal merchant fleet with only two escort ships. There are no cannons, and all the goods are tea and silk. Dill has planned it a long time ago, so he has been refusing to go to the shore for supplies for so many days. He really ate the ambitious leopard—what are you doing?"
Lando's words suddenly stopped, and he stared strangely at the man with his upper body naked - under the sun, even if he was wrapped in bandages, it would be difficult to hide his beautiful muscles... But at this moment , the man was maintaining a strange posture, half leaning out of the window, as if he had just thrown something.
Lando stepped forward to look at it, and then saw a flax-colored rag floating on the sea. After thinking about it, it seemed that Xiao Bai was wearing this color of clothes this morning.
Lando was puzzled: "Why did you throw away your clothes?"
"Fish smell," the man curled his lips, "hot."
Lando thought about it, and barely remembered that he seemed to wipe his mouth with his sleeve before—it seems that Xiao Bai really resists fish?Lando frowned, and muttered, "Don't force yourself if you don't want to eat it." Turning his head, he was about to get a few pieces of fresh pineapple for the man with a uncomfortable face to suppress the taste in his mouth, but he accidentally touched it. When touching the skin on his body, he was taken aback: "Why are you so hot?"
"what?"
With a hoarse voice, Xiaobai's eyes were slightly red, as if he was completely unaware of the changes in his body, he gave the black-haired young man a strange look, then walked around him, and went to the place where the fruits were placed, He casually grabbed a peeled whole pineapple, quickly peeled off the nails on it without looking at it, and started to chew when it was aligned - Lando was startled by his appearance, and grabbed the pineapple with his hands The messy pineapple: "You haven't soaked in salt water yet, so you're not afraid to prick your mouth—my mother, your lips are bleeding!"
"Oh."
Xiao Bai licked his lips indifferently, and narrowed his eyes slightly when he tasted the smell of blood.
At the same time, those blue pupils calmly looked at the anxious black-haired young man in front of him with a broken face, his eyes flickered like a wolf in the forest.
Lando was so terrified by his gaze that he couldn't figure out what happened during the short period of less than 15 minutes when he went out to "feed the pigs". In the end, under Xiaobai's indifferent gaze, he He boldly pressed the back of his hand to his forehead - the latter even lowered his tall body, and very cooperatively brought his forehead to a place within reach of his height, watching Lando touch it between his forehead Go, smile and ask: "How is it?"
"What's the matter?" Lando was about to go crazy, looking at the man in front of him like a fool, "You have a fever! What's going on? Could it be that yesterday's whip wound was infected?! Let me see! "
"No infection," Xiao Bai frowned, "I just ate fish."
"What nonsense!"
The man frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied that Lando didn't believe his words, but at this time, before Lando reached out to pick off the bandages wrapped around his body, he had already stretched out his hand and carried the black-haired young man in front of him without saying a word. Standing up—Lando suddenly lifted his feet off the ground and was carried on his shoulders. With a scream, he grabbed Xiaobai's ears and pulled: "What are you doing? What are you doing! Let me down!"
Xiaobai: "I have a fever, go back and get dressed...don't pull your ears, it hurts."
Lando: "..."
what the hell.
Is this burnt out?
Lando was extremely puzzled, but he quickly confirmed a fact: Xiao Bai was really confused.
In the whole afternoon that followed, those who didn't even respond much to the whipping fell on the bed in a half-dead state, and the good people were languid and groggy, and their blue eyes were half-drowsy , looking listless... Lando has never taken care of a patient. In his memory, the last time he took care of a sick life was when he was eight or nine years old, holding a listless parrot and crying to Raymond for help. After laughing for a while, Raymond revived the parrot and let it fly. The parrot did not forget to bite Lando before it flew. From then on, Lando knew that nothing in the world could be compared with Raymond. Get close, as soon as you get close to him, he will be contaminated with the white-eyed wolf's piss - well, this is a digression, so I won't mention it for now.
Right now, Lando saw that Xiaobai was suffering from a fever, so he was also anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and went to Dill to get some medicine, but the answer from the pirate captain was as expected to drive people crazy— —
"It was rescued by your 'Hongfu'. If you have the ability to save him the first time, then you have the ability to save him the second time."
Lando had no choice, he slammed the door of the captain's lounge hard, ran back to his rest cabin on a pair of straw sandals, opened the door, and saw that Xiao Bai was still lying on the bed safely, and his The not-so-delicate mask was quietly placed on the small broken table in the cabin as when he left...
I don't know why, Lando breathed a sigh of relief almost subconsciously, turned around and closed the door again, came to the bed and seriously looked at the man who occupied the whole bed at this moment... It was a hot day, and Xiao Bai was wrapped in a Covered by a thick quilt, only one head was left outside, even the neck could not be seen. It seemed to be falling asleep at the moment. Lando was worried, so he leaned over cautiously, and put his fingers under his nose. explored——
Before he had time to withdraw his hand, he saw the man on the bed slightly opened his eyes, and smiled weakly: "Not dead."
Landon was so embarrassed that he withdrew his hand as if it had been scalded. After thinking for a while, he stretched out his hand again, wanting to untie the bandage on Xiaobai's face—he understands that a patient with a fever needs to sweat to heal, but It's always uncomfortable to have a bandage on his face, so he wanted to untie it for him to breathe, but he didn't expect that the man's hand just touched the edge of the bandage on the man's face, but the other party grabbed it!
Big hands covered his wrists, and the scorching heat from his palms made Lando shiver suddenly. He subconsciously looked at Xiao Bai's hands, only to find that he was actually wearing long sleeves at this moment!
The two looked at each other in silence for a moment, and after a few seconds, Lando felt the hand that was holding his hand loosen.
"Don't touch the bandage."
"Untie it." Lando lowered his voice to persuade, "What should I do if I suffer from heat stroke in this hot day?"
"No." Xiaobai rolled up the quilt, as if he was afraid that he would do it again, and turned around stubbornly, facing the wall and turning his back to Lando, "I have an ugly face, and I don't want you to see it."
"Then...then untie the quilt and take a breath? It's time to cover yourself and sweat, how about changing the bed?"
"No change."
"..."
"Don't worry, it's fine."
Lando didn't speak for a long time, he vaguely heard the man yawned exhaustedly, and said vaguely, "Don't force me to eat fish next time."
I also think about eating something I don't like.
childish.
Lando made a grimace at Xiao Bai's sturdy back, then stood up, carefully opened the window to keep the cabin ventilated--in July and August on the Babylon Sea, the cabin was as hot as a steamer, he He didn't want Xiaobai to smother himself to death... After finishing everything, he quietly closed the door and left the room.
……
When the cool wind blows across the sea, sweeping away the maddening heat of the day on the deck, it is another day when night falls.
In the evening, a round of red sun that was about to sink to the bottom of the sea on the horizon burned the entire sky into a fiery red patch. It was obviously a good time to finish the whole day's work on the deck, pack up and go back to the cabin to rest, Mo The atmosphere on the La was a bit tense—Lando stood on the deck, arms folded, watching these pirates work in an orderly manner despite their chaos—
A group of pirates climbed up the mast, adjusted the huge hourglass on the mast, and tied it with ropes. At the same time, they hung four different flags on the mast. Lando looked at it, and one of the flags belonged to the Mora Mercury's pirate flag, the rest are three solid-colored flags: red, white, and black. Lando doesn't know much about the way pirates operate, so he doesn't know exactly what to do.
While these people were hoisting the pirate flag, the rest of the deck was washing the deck. A group of people were pouting their buttocks and grabbing rags, pushing them from one end of the deck to the other under the yelling of the stormtrooper, doing it in full swing; I was carrying empty wine barrels that were piled up in a mess in the corner, and the useless empty barrels were simply thrown into the sea. They were all snatched anyway, so I didn't feel bad; On the side, while chatting, they wiped their weapons. There were cold weapons like knives and guns. Not many pirates could wear guns, only a few.
Pirates pride themselves on owning a plundered gun—the more noble the gun, the greater the honor.
I heard that Dill's weapon is an exquisite pistol with the pattern of the Silton Royal Navy on it, because he snatched it from the previous Commander of the Silton Royal Navy, and he was stealing other people's weapons At the same time, he hung the commander's head on the mast of the Mora for three days and three nights.
It was probably from that time that Dill's name gradually became famous in the Sea of Babylon.
While thinking about it, Lan Zang subconsciously looked around for Dill. When everyone was ready to go and waited for nightfall to hide and make a big deal, he saw Dill standing at the cabin window on the second deck. He seemed to be staring at a certain direction in the corner in a daze.
Lando was stunned, followed his gaze, and found that there was nothing in the place Dill was looking at, only a bucket of lively fish that was just caught in the afternoon for dinner... This guy was really in a daze majesticly.
Lando thought for a while, then bent over and grabbed a shell from the wet cargo box beside him, and threw it up.
There was a soft "boom", just hitting the golden head - the blond young man who was interrupted by the cold suddenly came back to his senses, and seemed to be about to lose his temper. When he looked down, he found The black-haired young man was looking at himself with his hips crossed and a smile. His appearance accidentally overlapped with the one they used to fight and play on the Shiats. Dilton paused, but in the end he didn’t lose his temper and remained patient. Ask: "What?"
Lando said: "Little Jieluo, let me ask you, did you tell you when you were a child that you have to support yourself if you want something, and there is no future if you just rely on robbing—"
"No." Dill replied without thinking, and at the same time raised a dangerous smile, "If you go on and say one more word, I will throw that dying guy lying in your cabin into Feed the sharks in the sea."
Lando: "..."
Dill narrowed his eyes slightly and hummed provocatively: "Go on."
Lando was hit in the weak spot. He believed that Dill could really do such a thing as throwing Xiaobai into the sea, so he obediently shut his mouth and gave up. At this moment, from behind him, the A stormtrooper who he once thought was the first mate ran over to report to Dill that everything was ready - Lando looked at Dill and nodded, yawned lazily, took out a delicate pocket watch from his pocket and flicked it off He glanced at it, and at the same time, that fluffy little hamster got out of nowhere, climbed onto his shoulder, raised its forelegs, and squeaked twice.
Dill closed the pocket watch in his hand with a snap.
"Order, all on alert, advance at full speed."
After Dill's words fell, the deck was silent for three seconds. At about the fourth second, the pirates finally exploded, and everyone on the deck moved for a while——
"The captain ordered, full speed forward!"
"It's a win, Captain!"
"Give a big vote, go home and hug a woman! Hehe!"
"Every gunner is at his position. The No. [-] assault team is here to gather. Where's the fucking captain? Barek?!"
"Call me, I'm here! The No. [-] assault team is going to gather over there, can the deputy captain do some work, do you want me to feed you grandma?!"
In the chaos, Lando hugged his head and flashed back to his cabin, opened the door, rushed in, closed the door forcefully, and locked it—when he was leaning against the back of the door, his heartbeat could not calm down for a long time. The black-haired young man was still in a ghostly state, and it was hard to believe that he was about to witness a pirate robbing a merchant ship.
But at this moment, the entire cabin was dark, with no lights on, and everything was so silent that it seemed like two worlds on the deck separated by a door.
Lando paused for a moment, and saw the bulging figure on the bed hidden in the shadow of the wall through the blurred outline, and he was relieved to see the bulge rising and falling evenly with the breathing of the man underneath. After a little concentration, I was about to light up the kerosene lamp, but when I touched the wobbly thing and heard it make a soft "creak", I heard a voice from the other side of the bed: "Don't light the lamp."
Lando subconsciously withdrew his hand.
Looking out of the window, the night has completely fallen at this time - at night, there are no lights in the cabin, and nothing can be seen. With the light of stars in the sky and the dim moonlight, I can barely see the outline of the cabin. ...Lando licked his lower lip, hesitated for a while and finally wiped his hands on his clothes, gave up lighting the kerosene lamp, and slowly approached the bed. In the darkness, he heard the man rustling on the bed. There was a rustling sound, probably turning over.
Sure enough, in the next second, he looked at the pair of blue pupils that were still particularly bright in the dark night.
"It's very lively outside," Xiaobai's voice was low and hoarse, tired, "What's going on?"
"I told you during the day that they are planning to hijack a Frankie Royal Merchant Fleet, which contains tea and silk from the Eastern Continent. I heard that it is going to be sent to Silton—"
"What did you say?"
In the darkness, Lando could only feel that Xiaobai's voice became tense in an instant, and at the same time, the person who was lying on the bed suddenly sat up - he was startled, he blinked, and said inexplicably: "Why is there such a big reaction? Didn't you just say it during the day, and you didn't react that much—"
"I was so sick during the day, how did I know what you said?" Xiao Bai frowned suddenly, and Lando vaguely saw that he seemed to raise his hand to mess up his red hair, He seemed a little irritable, and at the same time, his tone of voice sounded a little bad.
Lando didn't blame him.
On the contrary, he asked quite firmly: "Why, do you know the origin of that Frankie's caravan?"
"Yes, I've heard some news that there were not only tea and silk on the ship, but if I guessed correctly, there was also a family member of a duke who might be involved in a political marriage and was sent to Silton on board. The reigning king, Marseus II, wants to make friends with Queen Silton Christine, and originally, this shipment was going to be handed over to the largest royal commercial fleet in Silton to go back and forth in person..."
Lando thought for a while, Silton's largest royal commercial fleet... Uh, doesn't it have the same surname as him?Immediately, I was a little nervous and asked, "And then?"
"The person in charge of the fleet refused."
"..."
"Say no time, the monkey at home ran away and got lost, and the ocean is full of monkey corpses."
"..."
The man lowered his head, glanced at the various complex black-haired young men on his face at this moment, and asked almost deliberately after a pause: "It seems that I heard you say before that you also have a fleet, and the fleet is also The first mate calls the shots, and the first mate's name is Raymond—"
"..."
"The Shitz is your ship?"
Lando couldn't answer, because under Xiao Bai's series of questions, he felt that he was about to suffocate.
"If so, it would be terrible. Your fleet is in danger now?" Xiaobai sighed, "If something goes wrong with the Duke's family in the waters of Silton, I'm afraid Christine will The Flying Queen will also blame her, and at that time, the head of the fleet who rejected her invitation without knowing what to do may also be punished..."
Implicated?
There was no need to continue Xiaobai's words, Lando was already jumping with fear.
What Xiaobai said made his whole scalp tingle. First, he was worried for a while that Raymond's brain was flooded and he was fine. Dill cursed ten thousand times from beginning to end!
"But that's okay, you don't really hate—"
"no!"
"Oh." Xiaobai narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "If you don't have it, you don't have it. What are you doing so loudly?"
Lando didn't even have time to think about where a small ordinary fisherman beside him got so much "inside information", but at this moment, the two people in the conversation suddenly fell into a strange silence, and Lando felt that something seemed wrong, When I came back to my senses, I realized that not only was the silence in their cabin, but at this moment, the deck, which seemed to be extremely lively a second ago, also became completely silent.
In his ears, he and Xiaobai could only hear the breathing of each other, and at this moment, the sound of the waves coming from outside the window.
Other than that, it was eerily quiet around.
This kind of silence completely awakened the memory that has not gone far in my mind. The same experience made the black-haired young man vaguely realize what this meant, and suddenly his hands and feet were as cold as if he had completely lost consciousness. He hurriedly climbed onto the bed with both hands and feet, stepped on the bed, and leaned out to look out. Sure enough, in the gradually rising sea fog, he could see the Mora slowly advancing. Not far away, a little bit of fire can be seen faintly.
Listen carefully, it seems that there is still music coming.
In the middle of the night, with such a high profile, there will be nothing else except the Frankie Royal Merchant Fleet that is about to become a lamb to be slaughtered.
In contrast, the Mora is like a silent ghost, approaching quietly and creepily.
The sailors on the merchant ship still don't know the tragic fate they are about to encounter, just like the drunk sailors on the Seaz that night... Thinking of this, Lando subconsciously held his breath, his whole heart seemed to be convulsed An invisible big hand squeezed it, and it became extremely uncomfortable... At this moment, he suddenly heard a very hoarse voice sounding in his ear: "It seems that Dill wants to play again." He is good at boarding battles, and he is good at quick battles."
Xiao Bai's voice sounded, the hoarse but faintly magnetic voice seemed to have invisible magic power, which slightly relieved the black-haired young man whose internal organs were twitching.
When the man spoke, the scorching breath sprayed all over Lando's earlobe. He felt itchy, and turned his head subconsciously. The pinna touched the lips of the man standing behind him at this moment. The soft touch It made him shrink his ears, but the person standing behind him didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong - he was still tightly wrapped in that thick blanket, standing behind Lando like a chrysalis, A pair of blue pupils watched everything that happened outside the window without blinking...
Looking out from the cabin where Lando was, he could just see what happened on the deck.
In the dark, he saw the hamster raised by Dill nimbly climbing up the mast. When it reached the top, it waved its little paw, accompanied by a light "snap" sound from the rope. In the sea breeze, it belonged to Mo The Mercury's flag on the puller broke free from its restraints and fluttered in the wind.
"This is the first flag, usually the flag of a pirate ship, which symbolizes that the pirates are about to launch Seiko."
Xiaobai leaned close to Lando's ear and said, at the same time, that big rough hand seemed to caress the black-haired young man's earlobe absent-mindedly, Lando was pinched sorely and itchy, and wanted to tell him to stop However, the attention was still attracted by what the man said——
"I saw them hang a total of four flags today..." Lando thought for a while, as if affected by the oppressive atmosphere outside, subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "There is also an hourglass."
After Lando finished speaking, he felt the big hand that was playing with his earlobe pause slightly, and then, the big head that was almost on his shoulder nodded slightly with an almost imperceptible arc: "Well, the hourglass is a timer, Generally, the inverted hourglass symbolizes the start of the attack, and the pirates will probably end the battle before the sand runs out; as for the flags, it depends on personal habits, some pirates don't use so many flags, but Dill is very concerned about face, he cares that people still have some ' He has such an absurd reputation as a gentleman of the sea, so he seems to have followed the old rules to the end."
After Xiaobai finished speaking, Lando subconsciously asked, "What ancient rules?"
"Shh."
Xiaobai's finger on his ear slipped and pressed against his lips, and at this moment, Lando saw outside their window that some changes had taken place on the deck—at first it was because of the Mora. The approach of the ship was finally discovered by the people of the fleet. The moment the music stopped abruptly, the laughter disappeared without a trace. The Mora stopped approaching. When the ship stopped, Lando heard There were terrified cries from the decks of Rankie's fleet.
The deck of the Mora was still silent, but after the terrified calls stopped, someone sneered mockingly.
Lando held his breath subconsciously, as if waiting, watching a cruel plunder between pirates and the plundered was about to unfold under his eyes.
The fingers pressed against his lips were removed, and Xiaobai was so close to Lando at this time, so close that he could almost hear him panting heavily due to the fever... The salty sea breeze blew by, and Lando's eyes were fixed on him. The Mercury pirate flag fluttered in the wind, as if showing its identity to the prey in a show of power.
At Lando's feet, all the pirates on the deck of the Mora stood still—after waiting for a while, it seemed that when everyone on the deck of the Royal Commercial Fleet realized that the pirates were coming, Lando saw, The saucy hamster that was still above the mast waved its paw again.
This time, the second banner unfurled with the wind—it was a pure white banner.
In Lando's impression, the white flag should symbolize "surrender"? -
At this moment, the man's voice sounded in Lando's ear again, the voice was deep and slow, and while he was speaking, Lando could almost feel the vibration in his chest: "This is what I just said The rules handed down by the ancient pirates - the white flag symbolizes "surrender", yes, but in the world of pirates, the white flag does not mean that the pirate ship itself is surrendering, but to show its identity - to indicate the prey The fleet lowered the flag of their country and surrendered obediently... If the prey refuses to surrender, they will raise the third flag tonight, which is the black one you saw, the black and white flags fluttering at the same time, representing pirates Our manifesto——until the prey is captured, we will never give up."
If you don't catch your prey, you will never give up.
"..."
Hearing what Xiaobai said, Lando remained silent, but the expression on his face clearly expressed the shock in his heart. His eyes wandered, and finally fixed on the flag that was still bound by the reins and hadn't let go. , the red side, red, the color closest to blood...
Lando paused, but before he had time to ask, he heard Xiaobai leaning against his ear and whispering slowly: "Pirates have some rules of their own, for example, they won't touch decent women under special circumstances. Fingers——they just want money, they prefer to use the whole of them to exchange a large amount of ransom for those loyal noble ladies, and then go to the island to spend money to live a hot and happy life. Enough for a night of your love and my wish..."
Having said that, the man paused, and looked down at the side face of the black-haired young man who was close at hand—staring at the tiny fluff on his face that was almost invisible under the moonlight, he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking something Said thoughtfully: "If Frankie's caravan is lucky enough to have someone with some common sense about pirates and a clear head on board right now, he might help the commander figure out his relationship with the Mora. The gap in strength—"
In Xiaobai's slow voice, Lando could vaguely hear the voice of the quarrel, and the quarrel came from the Frankie fleet, and the words were spoken quickly and in Frankie , Lando couldn't understand what they were talking about at all, at this moment, he felt the rough fingers kneading on his ears slightly stopped——
"Fortunately, there seems to be such a wise person on board their ship."
"Ok?"
"Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be high enough in rank to convince their commander."
"..."
Xiaobai shook his head and sighed: "The Mora is not in vain. In the entire Sea of Babylon, there are not many fleets that can compete with it. It is also a young leader among the islands... If Frankina The commanders on the side are more sober, can figure out the seriousness of the matter and measure the seriousness of the situation in time, and I am afraid they can minimize the loss. That is to lose some financial resources, at least the most important people on board will not be in danger—”
Before Xiaobai finished speaking, Lando was about to ask Xiaobai what the red flag represented - only to hear the voice of the quarrel suddenly stop, and after a moment of deathly silence, under circumstances that no one expected Next, there was a loud "bang" in the sky, and then, the Mora made the sound of "creak" and "creak" hull vibration, and the whole ship began to shake violently. Lando watched helplessly. The cup fell to the ground and shattered!
Frankie's escort is firing!
The vibrating hull caused Lando to stagger and almost fell out of the window. Fortunately, the man standing behind him quickly grabbed him. At the same time, he seemed to hear Xiaobai's voice sigh of regret...
"——The enemy attacked the captain! The aiming head is not very good, the port side of the ship has been scratched, and now the cabin seems to be flooded, and about one muzzle has been lost."
"Can it be fixed?"
"—Yes, it will take about 10 minutes!"
"I'll give you 15 minutes to fix it. If you can't fix it, you can find a place to die quietly—the rest of the people are ready to attack, Captain Stormtrooper? The hourglass is upside down, start attacking!"
As Dill finished speaking, everyone on the deck began to move, and Frankie's attack seemed to be just a beginning. In the next short period of time, countless shells were fired head-on in the direction of the Mora , and the deck of the Mora quickly regained composure after the initial turmoil with their captain's clear order to put down, and the whole pirate ship moved—when the giant hull slowly moved horizontally, 45 cannons were aimed at The Frankie fleet, at the same time, the ships owned by the charge captains behind the Mora came forward like ghosts and covered the front of the Mora with gunfire!
On the Mora, the pirates on the deck grabbed their weapons. Lando saw the hamster on the mast turn upside down the hourglass that symbolized "the start of the attack".
When the hourglass began to flow silently, the hum of artillery fire was heard at a close distance from Lando, the ship under his feet trembled slightly, and the fired shells threw a perfect arc, and then landed precisely on the right On the left side of the escort ship, there was a loud bang, blasting the escort ship into a huge hole!
The first hit hits the mark!
Fleet Frankie is in turmoil
