Chapter 573 Chaos Knights

The merchant ship sailed slowly on the calm sea.

Baron stood on the deck, leaning against the side of the ship, yawning boredly.

"There's a boat ahead!" Miles standing at the bow suddenly shouted.

"Finally found it." Baron moved his neck while walking to the bow.

"Is this a slave ship?" He looked at the big three-masted ship on the sea in the distance and asked.

"I don't know, anyway, judging from the shape, it must be the ship of those slave owners in the Velen Continent." Myers replied.

"Put our ship alongside the ship ahead!" Baron shouted to the helmsman behind him.

"I think it's better to look at the situation later and then take action. We may not be their opponents." Miles reminded in a low voice.

"I'm sensible." Baron nodded as he looked at the distant ship.

Miles was a little worried, and continued to speak: "If the slave traders on that ship feel that they are not our opponents, they will definitely release the slaves in the cabin. The mercenaries we hired will definitely not be those horns. The opponents of the fighters, and the mercenaries are all paid to do things, and they will definitely turn back when they see something wrong..."

"Stop talking nonsense, if you are afraid, hide in the cabin." Baron said impatiently.

"I'm not afraid, I just hope you can be more cautious, do you think I look like a timid person?" Myers explained.

Baron turned his head and glanced at Miles, whose legs were trembling constantly, and ignored him.

While the ship that Baron was on was approaching the opposite ship, that ship also changed direction and moved slowly towards their ship.

"It's over, those slave traders probably want to capture us as slaves and sell them off," Myers said.

"Isn't this better for us? You don't have to worry about the people we hire temporarily turning back." Baron smiled.

The two ships kept approaching, and it didn't take long for the merchant ship to travel far enough for Baron to see the faces of the crew on the opposite side.

They were fully armed, wearing uniform gray plate armor, holding long-handled maces and kite-shaped shields, and the pig-faced helmets on their heads had already put down their masks.

The boat on the opposite side was much bigger than theirs, and the people standing on the deck alone were almost as many as all the people on their boat combined.

"Hurry up and turn the bow!" The head of one of the two mercenary groups hired by Baron shouted loudly.

"What's the matter? Didn't I tell you beforehand that we came out to snatch a slave ship?" Baron frowned, stepped forward and asked loudly.

"The ship in front is not a slave ship. I recognize the flag on that ship. They are the Chaos Knights, the Chaos Knights that destroyed the ancient Velen Empire hundreds of years ago." The head of the mercenary group replied, His voice was trembling, and he seemed a little scared.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. Didn't they decline after destroying the Velen Empire?" Baron said.

The head of the mercenary regiment shook his head: "Many people think so, and history also says that after they destroyed the Velen Empire, they were resisted by countless people because of their teachings. Years of fighting have greatly weakened their strength, and finally Had to withdraw from Velen Continent, and then retreat to an archipelago to recuperate.

But in fact, almost all the great slave owners on Velen Continent are members of this knight order, or it is impossible to become a great slave owner if they are not a member of them.

The Chaos Knights just changed the way of enslavement and rule, but the results made the people there happy. Don’t you think that many things on that continent are in line with their teachings? "

"I don't know their teachings." Baron shook his head: "But I know that our ship can't run as fast as them, and the ship's steering ability is not good enough. When we finish turning, they have already collided.

So if you don't want to become slaves, you can only choose to take up arms and fight them! "

The mercenaries on the deck all looked hesitant.

They came out to be mercenaries instead of ordinary farmers in order to earn more money, which did not mean that they were willing to participate in a battle that was almost impossible to win.

The opposite ship is full of professionally trained members of the Knights. Wearing the same equipment, they can at least fight two mercenaries who have become monks like them. What's more, those people are better equipped than them and have more people.

"Will you choose to die in battle with honor, or choose to raise your hands and surrender, become a slave and die uselessly after being humiliated?" Baron asked loudly while standing in the middle of the deck.

"Can't you not die?" Miles whispered beside him.

"Take up weapons and fight with me, you will definitely have a chance to survive." Baron then said loudly.

A few older mercenaries curled their lips. They had heard such words at least a hundred times in their lives, but it was true.

The Chaos Knights believed in an evil god. It was good luck to be captured as a slave after surrendering. If they were unlucky, they might be directly skinned and bloodletted to be sacrificed.

Baron felt a shaking coming from under his feet. The originally calm sea suddenly became rough, and the clear sky gradually became gloomy, gray as if a rainstorm was about to come.

"The boat can't move! We seem to be sucked into a whirlpool, so we can only spin around in place!" The helmsman shouted in panic.

"I'm sure those bastards used some spells." The head of the mercenary group who spoke earlier said angrily.

"They will regret it." Baron turned his head and looked at the big three-masted ship in the distance.

The ship was getting closer and closer to them, and it would not be long before they were close together.

"They seem to be planning to hit them directly!" a mercenary exclaimed.

"It must be crazy!" Miles yelled, then turned and ran back, hugging the mast of the ship.

boom!
The ferocious ramming angle of the big ship rammed straight up, and after a violent shake, a dozen knights in gray full-body plate armor, pig-faced helmets, and long-handled maces walked along the bow. On Baron's ship, the wooden deck was creaked by the greaves made entirely of metal on their feet.

Without any negotiation, the group of knights directly launched an attack.

The leading knight swung a mace on the head of a mercenary in front of him after boarding the ship.

boom!
There was a cracking sound that made the scalp numb, and the head of the mercenary, together with the ordinary dome helmet on his head, was sunken by the hammer, and he fell to the ground without even a scream. The ground stopped moving.

Baron, who had just recovered his balance from the impact, let out a roar when he saw this scene. Hot black flames spewed out from his body. He took out the giant ax from the space bag and rushed forward, slashing at the knight.

Before Baron's giant ax fell, the knight's armor glowed with a mottled dark red light.

scoff.

The knight's helmet was torn, and his body was split in two by the axe.

Baron threw the giant ax in his hand aside, and the attack just now also made the weapon useless.

He fell to the ground and rolled several times to avoid the hammer from the side, and took the opportunity to pick up the long-handled mace of the knight he killed from the ground.

Baron swung his hammer away, denting a knight's chest.

The knight clutched his chest and vomited blood and fell into the sea.

At the same time, several knights quickly removed their shields from behind and surrounded Baron.

"Go and deal with those miscellaneous fish, let me play with him." A bald knight with scars all over his face walked over from the boat.

The few knights nodded after hearing this, and killed the mercenaries on board together with the rest of the knights.
