Main text 2375 The Emperor's Sword (XIV)

The members of the Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Smuggling Team below the ship's side had joy on their faces. The other party's lack of response made them naturally assume that the other party was scared. The clothes of the port security office are easy to use. These imperial merchants are indeed timid enough. The bluff was successful, as soon as he got close to the hull , immediately there were two or three agile smuggling team members at the bow of the ship, skillfully holding the anchor hanging from the side of the bow with their hands. When they saw the few people rushing towards the anchor, they gave a successful signal and participated in the attack. The members of the smuggling team showed a ferocious smile,

Unless the other party has wings, he will definitely be dead tonight! Everyone thinks so,

"The people above will lower the ladder immediately, otherwise we will launch!" Fred, the smuggling captain who already had the winning ticket, was not as impatient as he was at the beginning. The calmness on the other side surprised him, but he was confident about his The subordinates have absolute confidence, but it is just a merchant ship. They are not able to capture it. On the contrary, they are afraid that the subordinates will become red-blooded and slaughter all the merchants of the Falcon Empire before they can even find out where the Golden Tickets of the Business Alliance are kept. , that would be bad

"Captain, they are just some ordinary businessmen. They must have been frightened. Give the order to rush forward."

Seeing no one answering on the side of the ship, a smuggling team member stuck out his tongue and licked the cold edge of the dagger in his hand, with a very impatient tone. The smuggling team were all veterans who had been traveling at sea all year round. Everyone’s hands were It was all covered with bloodstains. After experiencing countless bloodstains, how could I take the merchant ship in front of me seriously?

"Get on the hook, and if you resist, use a sling to smash open the deck of their ship!"

Fred finally lost his patience, raised his eyebrows, and shouted loudly that it was no longer important whether the other party was willing to accept the examination. The most important time to leave had been lost. ○If the anchor cannot be lifted, the merchant ship cannot leave the port. As long as the opponent cannot leave the port, it is meat on the chopping block. You can kill it as you like! At this moment, he also took off the mask of the port security station, revealing a murderous face. One foot was straddling the wooden support of the powerful-looking catapult, and the other hand severely slashed the large scimitar in his hand. He stuck it on the ground and pulled open the buttons on his body, revealing his hairy chest.

"superior!"

Hundreds of smugglers, who had already lost their patience, let out a cheer and rushed to the side of the ship. A dozen metal hooks that had been prepared long ago were thrown out in arcs and thrown onto the side of the ship more than ten meters high from below. The person pulls hard, and the barb feedbacks the sound of being hung firmly.

"Little darlings, don't be afraid, Uncle Kike is coming up!

A smuggler with disheveled hair and a thin body had a strange smile on his face, and his eyes were glowing green with excitement. The first one climbed onto the deck on the side of the ship. Stepping on the smooth side of the ship was like stepping on an invisible ladder. For the smuggling team members who lived on the sea all year round. The size of the merchant ship in front of them could not stop them. Apart from being larger, it was no different from other merchant ships. The height of the ship's side of more than ten meters is enough to make many people look ugly, but for the smuggling team members, it takes only ten seconds, as light and agile as a monkey,

"Sir, the smuggling team is on board!" Aurelio's confidant behind reported to Aurelio.

"I can see it!"

Aurelio looked stern and was silent for a while, then said, "Tell Fred to check carefully and not miss any corner of the ship. No matter what, you must kill them all. If there is one missing, it is not It’s just a little trouble! It would be terrible if it provokes the Falcon Empire Navy!”

"Yes, I'll tell Fred right away!"

The confidant nodded in understanding. The Falcon Empire Navy is the overlord of the inland sea area. If it is known that a Falcon Empire merchant ship was attacked at Luansok Port, it is probably a situation where the army is at the gate. Although the double-headed eagle merchant The regiment has great strength in Feize, but it may not be able to withstand the pressure of the Imperial Navy, let alone both sides. Most of the trade of the Double-headed Eagle Merchant Group needs to enter the inland sea. Once the Imperial Navy targets the Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Group, the merchant group will be completely over. The big figures behind the merchant group need the merchant group to help them obtain things that cannot be obtained through normal channels. , but it does not mean that they are willing to carry the behemoth of the Falcon Empire for the sake of the business group.

He turned over the side of the ship and stepped hard on the deck. Before the smuggling team member could even cheer, the scene in front of him made his whole body go cold. He originally thought that there would not be many people on the deck of the ship, but instead he stood there. A young man in black uniform was looking at him with interest.

Beside this young man, groups of archers were neatly arranged. The cold light of arrow clusters almost occupied most of the ship's deck. Kick felt a chill rush to his forehead. Who said there were only twenty or thirty people on the ship? Take a look at that bastard's eyeballs. If there are less than a hundred people on this deck, cut off your head and give it to him. The week was quiet, or the smuggling team member could not hear the noise around him at all. He finally understood why the young man opposite him, who seemed to be an officer, looked at him with such curiosity and interest... ...As far as he could see, he saw two imperial heavy ballistae vehicles at the front that were full of violence and killing.

The bow string has been drawn, and the place where he landed is right in front of the ballista. Kike is a fool and wants to know what fate is waiting for him. "There is a burial..." He turned around with all his strength, not even caring about the height of more than ten meters on the side of the ship, and jumped up. At this time, it would be good to save his life. What else could he hope for, but no matter how fast he was, he couldn't compete with the people behind him. Compared with the speed of the heavy ballista, he could only hear a "boom" as a bow string tore through the air. Even though the waves around him were undulating loudly, it was indeed like thunder in his ears at this moment. He saw himself flying out,

The crossbow arrow flew out, and the protruding position of the parapet on the side of the ship was shattered by the huge force. Half of Kike's body was shot by the crossbow arrow and flew to an unknown place, and half of his spine was still exposed. Under the huge inertia, the remains of the ship flew out along with the broken side of the ship, like a red rain suddenly dropped from a high place,

"Kike, that perverted guy who likes men has taken the first place again." "This bastard will be killed one day!" Below, the smuggling team members were climbing up the side of the ship, and were still letting out bursts of weird laughter. The smuggling team all knew about this bastard Kike's unique habits. It was said that Kike was originally a male slave raised by a powerful man, and he killed his master for some unknown reason. They were just put on death row and later sent to the smuggling team. They loved to torture and kill prisoners. Their methods were cruel and perverted. Every time they rushed to the front, it was to choose their favorite prey to attack. When he laughed strangely, a large amount of water drops fell from his head.

Someone raised his head in confusion and saw a large area of ​​red blood. Half of the body mixed with the body was smashed down like this, and the smell of blood hit the nostrils. Many people didn't react for a long time, and they were beaten all over. Kike's half body was smashed on a smuggling team member, and he was beaten all over. He hit the ground from the side of the ship, "Attention, something fell!" The people below took a step back subconsciously by the light of the torch. It's Kick! Although the upper half of the body was gone, the smuggling team uniform worn by the lower half was clearly visible. The red leather boots this guy was showing off just now were covered in blood and minced meat.

"What's going on?" Aurelio was stunned when he saw this scene from a distance. He saw a bright cold light flying out from the deck of the ship, and then carrying something with it, it flew in the direction of his carriage.

"Sir, disperse quickly!"

It was his confidants who reacted quickly. Pulling him away at once, the carriage was hit by cold light and the door was torn to pieces. And the object in front of the cold light was knocked out and hit Aurelio's body, and the pieces of flesh flew everywhere. Aurelio only felt like he was hit hard by a heavy hammer on his chest, subconsciously He blocked the incoming thing with his hand. Poof, Aurelio only felt the pungent smell of blood. Mixed with various colors, it suddenly exploded in front of his eyes. A grunting blood-colored object gave him a very intimate kiss. When he was pulled out from under the object by his henchmen, half of the corpse in front of him, His face turned pale, and he vomited without caring about anything. "Captain, Kike, Kike is dead!"

The situation coming from the front made Fred's pupils shrink unconsciously, and the five fingers holding the scimitar made a squeaking and rubbing sound. Bastard, the other party killed one of his subordinates without even showing his face. At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in front, bang! bang! Bang! There was a continuous dull sound that was completely unresponsive, like the sound of something suddenly breaking apart when it collapsed to the extreme. Several rays of cold light flew out from the deck of the merchant ship, kill! Countless sharp cold lights burst down from the side of the ship, "This is it!"

Fred's face turned pale, and he stared dumbfounded at the sudden change. It's not that there were only twenty or thirty people on the other side, so what were these in front of him? Countless arrow clusters rained down on the heads of his men, and during this period, there were The blood exploded when the cold light hit the human body, which was shocking and violent to the extreme. The sharp arrow shot through the human body. Nailed deeply into the port ground beneath their feet. The bright red blood exploded like plum blossoms, and the unconscious bodies of his subordinates were caught in the torrent of light and shadow formed by the arrow clusters. Hit by arrows, hit by arrows, hit by arrows, "Oh my God!" The people behind turned around and ran away in fear. Countless arrow clusters hit them like sparrows flying across the field, and they fell down one after another. "Slings, hit me!" Fred picked up the scimitar stuck on the ground in his hand and shouted angrily. His eyes were bloodshot. There was nothing to take care of at this time. The opponent's weapons and equipment were overwhelming. In terms of status, you can't reach it in close combat, but it's hard to say in long range.

There is no doubt that the opponent is an armed merchant ship. Although there are plenty of weapons, the lack of slings is a fatal weakness. The shooting range of slings can reach at least two hundred steps. No matter how powerful the opponent's shooter is, can they still shoot to two hundred steps? The catapult began to adjust under his command, and the round stone bullets were also pushed up. "Sir Aurelio ordered, the plan was revised, and within an hour, both the people and the ship were destroyed!"

Aurelio's confidant ran over panting and told Fred that the original plan was to kill the people and then modify the ship to use it as a double-headed eagle merchant fleet. After all, in terms of shipbuilding, the technology of the Falcon Empire has surpassed the inland sea area. Only the Falcon Empire can build a ship as large as this merchant ship. Such a ship is worth three or four thousand gold coins. Aurelio still doesn't want to damage this merchant ship with the idea that mosquitoes are meat, but now it's different. After being hit all over by such a thing, Aurelio doesn't care about the ship anymore. He just wants to kill all the people on the ship as soon as possible. "If that's the case, one catapult may not be enough!" Fred heard the new order and showed a difficult look on his face. "Please tell my lord that the merchant ship in front of us is too big, almost one-third larger than an ordinary merchant ship, and its structure is very solid. It is too difficult to sink it within an hour with only one catapult. The number of stones fired in an hour is a problem, and we are seriously short of manpower now. To tell you the truth, I only brought ten stone bullets this time. Without more catapults and more people, this mission cannot be completed!" "Asshole!"

Aurelio's face turned blue with anger after hearing the reply from his confidant. His eyes swept fiercely over the half of the body that made him extremely embarrassed, and the almost completely scrapped gorgeous carriage. He knew that there was no way out of the attack tonight. If he could not take down the armed merchant ship of the Falcon Empire, everything would become extremely unfavorable to him when the sun rose. He was afraid that even the Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Group would not be able to protect him from the crime of attacking the merchant ship of the Falcon Empire. After all, offending the merchants of the Empire and offending the Imperial Navy are two completely different concepts. Therefore, the Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Group dared to take a chance on Lisbonto, but would never be stupid enough to provoke the Imperial Navy. "Sir, the only way now is to ask for help from the city sheriff, Lord Alavinta!" The confidant said cautiously, "The other party is just a merchant ship. If we report to Sheriff Lord Alavin that it is a pirate ship that sneaked into the port and agree to mobilize the garrison, then everything will not be a problem!" "What if Alavin notices it?" Aurelio hesitated "If they are not pirates, how can there be so many weapons?" The confidant looked around and said softly, "Whether they are pirates or not is up to you! Last month, a merchant fleet was attacked off the coast of the port. We can just plant the blame on this ship, so that Lord Aravind can report to the task, and we get the desired result! I believe the sheriff will agree." "Well, you go immediately." Aurelio looked at the dark hull in the distance again and nodded. He was ready to risk it all. If he had thought of taking all the wealth at the beginning, now he would kill the armed merchant ship of the Falcon Empire before everything was exposed. Sheriff Aravind was a greedy person, and he had stuffed a lot of good things into his mouth on weekdays. Otherwise, Aravind, a sheriff of a port city, would not be qualified to be appreciated by the prime minister of the kingdom. I believe the other party also understands that as long as he helps him through this level, he will not treat him unfairly. (To be continued...)
