[Count of Monte Cristo] Love and hatred

"What shall we do?" Mei Tess asked worriedly.

"There are a few small old cannons on board," Angelica gritted her teeth, "We have to strike first and sink them!"

Edmund stopped her.

"No." He shook his head in disapproval. "While we are observing them, they must also be observing us. If we set up the barrel now and are seen by them, then they must be the first to fire."

There was a dead silence on the ship, and everyone looked at Edmund. At this moment, they all regarded him as a leader.

"I think their purpose of sending these two killers on board is not just to assassinate the old captain and sabotage the operation, otherwise they can take advantage of the chaos and leave after poisoning. I think their real purpose is to create chaos and then investigate news, find out where we loaded and unloaded," continued Edmund, "but now, their accomplices don't know what's going on on the Macaulay. Inquire about the news on the Han, maybe we can counter them."

"But what if those two people fail?" Mei Tess asked worriedly.

"Fire then!" replied Edmund.

"But how do we know if they've been exposed?" Angelica asked.

"We'll signal by firing a gun," Edmund replied.

"We..." Mei Tess and Angelica were shocked almost at the same time. They both knew how dangerous it would be, but Edmund did not hesitate to include himself.

He didn't ask who would join, but squatted down silently, took off the robe and hood of the person who was similar in size to himself, and put them on himself.

When Edmund finished dressing up, the people on board found that they couldn't tell the difference between him and the man just now. Fortunately, both things were black, and there was no blood at all.

At this time, the Arab crew member said, "I'll wear another suit. My cousin is on the Mirahan, and I'm worried about him."

"No," Mei Tess stood up, "I should wear that suit, and I want to be with my captain."

Edmund glanced at her approvingly.

After Plum Tess had donned her gown, Edmund himself helped her put the hood on. "You hold a gun, and if something goes wrong, fire a warning shot," he carefully instructed, "Leave the rest to me."

Plum Tess nodded.They disembarked from the Macaulay, boarded a skiff, and paddling carefully, headed for the Mirahan.

Before boarding the ship, they smelled a bloody smell.After arriving on the ship, the smell became even stronger, and there were still light red blood stains on the deck. It seemed that the real crew members of the Mirahan were in dire straits.

A man also wearing a hood led them into the cabin.

Edmund didn't speak, but waited for the other party to ask first.

"Has the captain been killed?" the headed man in the hood asked.

Edmund tried his best to imitate the voice of the man just now, "Yes."

"Are they still going to move on?"

Edmund nodded, "They are going to unload at Milos Island."

"Who is leading now?"

"Mate of the Macaulay."

The leader turned his head, discussed something in a low voice with the people around him, and ignored them.

At this moment, Mei Tess finally regretted following them. They spoke Arabic, and the Duke of Buckingham kept her hand, and did not hand over the language he knew well to his Dark Star.Now, she could not understand what they were saying at all, and she was afraid that she could not help the captain.

"Good job," the leader turned around and said with a sneer, "The duke will reward you."

But the duke's reward was death.

But in the face of Venus of the Dark Star, this mob is not a threat at all.Plum Tess caught a sharp glimpse of one of the men's small movements, and before he could draw his gun, she was the first to take out him with a flying dagger.The rest of the people all drew out their Turkish scimitars, but Edmund barely resisted with his sword.

But Plum Tess didn't even want a weapon. After she twisted one man's neck, she pinched another's with her legs neatly. In less than a hundred heartbeats, all the killers fell to the ground. on the ground.

Just then, one of the survivors struggled to point the gun at her.Before he could fire, Edmund pierced his arm with his sword.

However, the shot was fired. Although no one was injured, Edmund suddenly opened his eyes wide. Before Mei Tess could react, he grabbed her and jumped off the boat.

Immediately afterwards, the Macaulay fired four salvoes, and the Mirahan was instantly blown up, flying sawdust and sinking into the sea.

Plum Tess struggled in the water, she didn't expect things to turn out like this.At first she was worried that the cloth wrapped around her chest would fall off, and then she was afraid that the fake beard she had glued would be washed away by the sea, so she couldn't use her hands and feet in the water.

So she was dragged by Edmund like that, and swam to the side of the Macaulay, and several crew members rescued them.

"I didn't know I had recruited a sailor who couldn't swim." Edmund said a little depressed.

Plum Tess did not refute, she is not bad at swimming, but now water has become her enemy.She touched her face subconsciously, but luckily the hood was still tightly wrapped around her face after it was soaked in water.

Fortunately, none of the men on board saw her embarrassment, and just focused on the news brought by Edmund.

"I think now our smuggling boat conference needs a new leader," Angelica said with a smile.

Not surprisingly, everyone voted for Captain Sinbad, our wise and courageous Edmund.

"And the Macaulay will also need a new captain." Angelica held up the sword left by her father with both hands, "Dear Captain Sinbad, you have shown us the courage that a captain should have. and wisdom. Now, I am willing to hand over to you the Macaulay, together with my body and mind..."

Edmund was stunned by surprise, but Maisette was even more surprised than him. She looked at her captain, and then at Li's Angelica.For some reason, a burst of bitterness suddenly surged in her heart.

Fortunately, her captain flatly rejected Angelica.

"You avenged your father. Your actions just now have proved that the Macaulay already has the most suitable captain." Edmund gently pushed back the sword in Anjelica's hand, "That's you , Angelica."

"Captain Angelica!" the sailors on the Macaulay shouted together.
