Vol 4 Chapter 121: Hostage (on)

Remember [] in one second, to provide you with wonderful novel reading.
The time went back to about two quarters ...
"Ship! Look, there is a ship over there--!"
The watchman on the mast suddenly shouted in excitement. On the messy deck, the captain of the Black Sparrow, known as "Black Blind" Ed, quickly got up and ran to the stern with only one good leg. His eyes widened and his eyes were farsighted.
Sure enough ... not far behind them, a standard Sacran paddle boat was slowly approaching.
"The swallowtail flag hanging on that ship ... seems to be the iron crown?" A sailor suddenly shouted.
As soon as the words fell, the sailors around changed colors!
Their black sparrow is not a serious merchant ship, once the consequences are discovered ... unbearable!
"You idiot, where's the iron crown ?!" An experienced veteran sailor immediately noticed something strange and scolded the rookie who just scared everyone to death:
"You can see clearly with wide eyes. There is a lion under the crown of that flag, and three dragons under the real DeSalem Iron Crown! That is not a sign of the imperial royal family, but a flag of the Governor of the Empire Byrne!"
But these words didn't make the surrounding sailors look better. One by one was still trembling. Even the "black blind man" Ed's own complexion was uncertain.
Empire paddle sailing ships are usually equipped with at least one ballista, 40 fully armed sailors with crossbows, and twice the number of sailors; and because they are warships, the speed is much faster than ordinary merchant ships. It can also be used to increase the speed of the boat by manual oars.
In other words, regardless of whether the ship is affiliated with the Imperial Legion, or the Governor-General Baine in the south ... is definitely not the object that this "Black Sparrow" can provoke!
It ’s too late to even want to run — when they can see each other, the other party must have discovered their
black ship
without flying any flags; once accelerated to escape, there will be no good except exposing themselves result.
So Captain Ed immediately rejected the idea of ​​escape-here is the inland river, not the sea, can a broken merchant ship still run through the warship? !
"Black sparrow" is not "black pearl" after all ...
"They accelerated and are approaching!" At the top of the mast, the lookout hand suddenly exclaimed, and the trembling dog legs immediately panicked.
"Boss, what should I do?"
"What's the panic ?!" Captain Ed glared at the shameful dog legs beside him, pondering for a moment, shouting at the watchman on the top of the mast:
"Look again and see if there are any other signs on that ship!"
The watchman who received the order quickly widened his eyes; almost all the sailors on the deck couldn't help but looked up, waiting for the news from above.
A few minutes later, the watchman finally sent the answer: "See, there is a swallowtail flag on the ship with the logo of the German Chamber of Commerce!"
The expressions of the sailors who received this news have barely changed, and their faces are still pale-as the richest and most powerful chamber of commerce in the South, the relationship between the Jode-German Chamber of Commerce and Governor Byrne is almost universally known. It seems no surprise that Governor Byrne borrowed a battleship.
But Captain Ed's expression was overjoyed, staring at the warship as if to write down the ship's appearance; it took a long time to make up his mind and order the sailors:
"Everyone listens well, we stop the ship!"
As soon as the voice fell, everyone was stunned, and even the watchman on the top of the mast was almost startled and almost fell from the top.
On the deck ... deathly still.
"That ... Boss." An old sailor swallowed and swallowed courage and said: "You are doing this ... should we explain it to us?"
The other sailors gathered instinctively behind him, and looked at Captain Ed's eyes more and more weird, and they almost picked out "Are you crazy?" Of course, they dare not say such words.
A group of cowards ... Looking at his dreaded dog legs, Captain Ed hated his teeth, although he would never admit that his little heart was also "fluttering".
But the question is whether they can run away even if they want to run ... that ’s the battleship. Once it is found, it ca n’t run away. It ca n’t run out of the ballista ’s range. Military ballistas can feed their small sampan with a single shot. !
But this can't be said, otherwise this group of cowardly dog ​​legs will really be finished ... not to mention, Captain Ed does not want to escape, he wants to make a big vote.
That's right ... the moment Captain Ed knew that the ship belonged to the Jodd Chamber of Commerce, his good luck was finally here only once in his life!
This is an imperial battleship, and even the Jorde Chamber of Commerce does not want to be able to borrow it—it can allow Governor Byrne to vacate a ship for the Jorde Chamber of Commerce. What does that mean?
Explain that the ship must be escorting something precious, or what a big man is on this ship!
"Give me peace, you fools!" Ed turned around and quickly climbed on the side of the boat with one leg, holding the reins and shouting at the dog legs:
"Just think about it for me, why should we run?"
A group of sailors calmed down in an instant, and then looked at their captain with a fool's eye ... Even the young sailor who liked to shout loudly looked scornful.
Is n’t that nonsense ... I ’m going to die if I do n’t run.
A bunch of idiots, running is really dead ... Captain Ed hates his teeth, but now he still needs this group of dog legs and waits for the ransom ... Hum!
"Yes, if they let us know that this is not a merchant ship, then we are indeed dead." The captain waved his short knife: "But now they don't know ... we are not a real merchant ship!"
"I'll know when they get close!"
"That's right, which merchant ship doesn't even have a box of goods ?!"
"It is estimated that they have discovered it long ago ... The real merchant ships are flying the Swallowtail Flag of the Chamber of Commerce. We do not have this one!"
"Nonsense, would it be necessary to rob if you had money to hang the flag ?!"
... There was an uproar on the deck, and the unbearable Captain Ed raised his short knife and nailed it directly under the feet of the sailor who called him the most!
"Shut up for me, you cowards!" Captain Ed scolded: "Can't do it with a little brain, we are hostages, why should we run away ?!"
"Since that ship hangs the flag of the Jodhpur Chamber of Commerce, it means that there are big figures of the Jodhpur Chamber of Commerce on board! As long as we find ways to let them know about the hostages, do we have to worry about not being able to make a fortune ?!"
But this answer did not satisfy all the dog legs, and immediately the old sailor stood up: "What if we don't plan to give money, we are not serious merchant ships."
"Are you still a thief, won't you even tear the ticket?" Captain Ed yelled: "Anyone who is so stupid will tell people that he is not a serious merchant ship? We saved their family, they are life-saving benefactors, they still Thank you so much! "
"Listen clearly, you fools, this is a rare opportunity in our life!" Captain Ed's eyes widened:
"Do you want to be a poor ghost for a lifetime, or do you make a fortune?"
"What the German-German Chamber of Commerce has is money, not the money that you poor ghosts can imagine. One million silver coins don't even count their roots; and now we have their family members in hand, just use him as a hostage and try to find a way to spend a while , You will be able to get a large sum of money from the Jodhpur Chamber of Commerce! "
"Now the choice is yours-people who do not want to do me can now abandon the boat and escape, and then wait for the bow and arrow and the ballista to be sent to the bottom of the gem river to feed the fish; or just follow me to finish the vote Yes, we get ransom on the spot! "
There is no objection to all the doglegs of this proposal ... if they can really get one million ~ EbookFREE.me ~ they do not need to continue to be thieves; and even if the German-German Chamber of Commerce is willing to give money They must run the road at that time.
With that said, Captain Ed stood proudly with open arms on the side of the ship, and the only one stared scarletly: "Even a million, do you dare to join me?"
"Roaring-!!!!!!"
Suddenly boiling on the deck!
"Boss, what are we doing now?"
"Of course, let's go and see how our meat ticket is ..." As he said, Ed jumped from the ship's side, and there was a trace of grief on his face:
"Listen to me, and tell him that it is a merchant ship of the Yode Chamber of Commerce, and no one is allowed to reveal more than half a word to me!"
"Understood!" The dog legs are also a grinning face, hehe smiled. Mobile phone users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
