brother wolf

The sky is as blue as washing, and seabirds are flying by in groups. From far and near, the joyful singing of sailors can be heard.

The golden retriever and I were lying on the deck, basking in the sun in the inner sea, next to the pirates who were busy preparing to go out to "hunt" again.

Golden Retriever's body has already recovered more than half, he can eat, drink, run and jump, and even get interested in discussing with the pirates which women on this island are the most delicious.

The pirates told us all kinds of news from the tavern.

During our time of isolation, the Rus Empire has changed dramatically.There is a sense of inversion of "a day in the mountains, a thousand years in the world".

Princess Lodia fled to the province of Mor because of treason, where she established a court in exile with the support of Mottaya and several other legions.

She proclaimed her sister, Princess Elizabeth, who succeeded her at St. Roch's, as tyrant and did not recognize her rule.

People call these two opposing regimes East Ross and West Ross respectively to show the difference.

From the day they were established, the two regimes have waged a desperate war.

The West Ross led by Princess Lodia only retains the five western provinces of the original territory of the Ross Empire. However, these five provinces have the most powerful military forces.Moreover, the leader of their legion, Onas Lassels, has a surreptitious tactic, which is enough to make them invincible and slowly reverse the unfavorable situation.

The boss's name was Ernas Lassels.

The smoke of gunpowder filled the entire Ross Empire, but at this moment, Mitras Island was still peaceful and serene.

This may be because the more chaotic the times, the more suitable for pirates to survive.Those displaced by the war, those who are poor or bankrupt, will continue to join the ranks of the islands, but there is no other force to interfere with their "business".

The golden retriever was lying next to me, covering his face with his hands from the harsh sunlight.

It seems that we are very free, but in fact, the pirates next to us are watching our every move all the time.

We are closely watched.

Golden Retriever and I lived as usual as if we didn’t notice anything. I followed Golden Retriever, watched him laugh and chat with the pirates, and learned the pirates’ catchphrases and lingo that only they knew.

However, behind the scenes, we observed every possible escape route and made preparations. We did not take any action because of the golden retriever's body. Now, we have no worries.

The golden retriever stroked my hair one by one, I looked at him lazily, put my head on the front paws, closed my eyes, and continued to doze off.

He seems to have something on his mind, the golden retriever's thinking is like a lion's, simple and direct, without so many detours, but now, his golden eyes are covered with a layer of haze, as if there is something particularly worrying about him.

I didn't ask him what the matter was, it was related to his pride as a king.

Compared with the boss, I actually don't know much about golden retrievers, maybe because I have crossed races, I know the habits of lions, but I don't know their thoughts.I can easily detect the boss's emotions from his every move, even if he deliberately conceals it, it's useless, but I can't understand some words and deeds of the lion.

Of course, he has become my friend after going through so much wind and rain, but there is no rule that you should know everything about your friends.

When night comes, the sea breeze blows away the heat of the day, and the stars are twinkling, boundless.

The merchant who helped us spread the news finally returned to Mitalas Island. He led two slaves and carried a box to the ship.

The businessman named Kendia looked at the captain with a wide smile and rubbed his hands, "This is the ransom." He pointed to the two boxes.

The captain waved his hand, and immediately two pirates came over and opened the box, which was full of dazzling gold coins. One pirate couldn't hold back, took a gold coin and bit it in his mouth, he grinned, Showing a mouthful of yellow teeth, "It's true, Captain Black Axe."

Kendia seemed to take this behavior for granted. He nodded at the pirate, then looked expectantly at the captain and us standing behind him.

This is the rule of the island.

However, this time, things are not destined to be so simple.

The captain waved his hand, and the pirate holding the gold coin immediately threw the gold coin into the box. The captain stepped forward, "It can only be considered that you are unlucky."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out the sword hanging from his waist and stabbed it fiercely into Kendia's chest.

Kendia looked at him in surprise, "You - you - broke the contract." He didn't seem to be afraid at all, just grabbed the sword with his hands, "'Storm' will not let you go."

The captain drew his sword, and the blood sprayed his hand. "If only he can catch up with us." The captain said with a grin.

The pirates probably didn't expect this situation either. They watched in dumbstruck as the captain killed the businessman neatly, and then killed the two slaves who were trying to escape.

Blood was still dripping from the tip of the inverted sword, and the captain was probably also very excited. He said with a full face, "I will not let anyone related to Leonard of Tire be spared." He pointed the sword at the A group of pirates, "You, you, either flee with me, or stay here and wait for the 'storm' to die."

The ship quickly disappeared into the depths of the ocean.

All the pirates were silent, only the captain stood upright on the deck, facing the wind.

I heard the pirates seem to be talking about the captain’s younger brother who was also a pirate. He was killed by the escort fleet of the Tyre Chamber of Commerce led by Leonard during the suppression operation. He always wanted revenge but couldn’t find a chance. This time , he finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish.

Because Captain Black Ax's act of tearing up the ransom agreement directly offended the "storm" on Mitras Island, and offending the "storm" in the inner sea is tantamount to making a promise with death.

The pirates were very angry at Captain Black Ax for dragging them into the water to avenge his brother. I doubt that he was killed by these pirates before he took revenge, and only a few loyal men kept him alive. A precarious balance.

He used me and the golden retriever as bait to trap Leonard.

I suspect that he passed the news to Leonard as soon as he knew that Leonard was related to us. His only mistake was probably that his greedy nature made him plan to get a ransom first.

The stupid way of letting myself suffer from the enemy, I drew a simple and clear conclusion to his death-seeking action in my heart.

Even so, before that, Golden Retriever and I didn't have a good time. Although I don't know why he didn't kill us right away, I guess we won't live for too long.

In the dark night, on the boundless sea, fate begins to move in an unpredictable direction.
