Volume 1: Sailing Chapter 10: Small Ship

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    An Rui's closed eyes suddenly opened, and his heart twitched twice.  A small boat!  This is exactly what the Scarlet Shark has been looking for to plunder. If this small ship was a merchant ship, Sophie would definitely choose to do it without hesitation.  "Damn it, why did we encounter a small ship at this moment!" An Rui cursed secretly, stood up, and turned around to observe the situation.  The other pirates also heard the news and rushed to the bow of the ship, looking at the sea with their naked eyes, hoping to find the so-called small ship.  The whistle stopped at some point, and was replaced by a chaotic roar, with greed and hostility in the voice.  The door to the captain's cabin opened, and Sophie walked out quickly, obviously hearing the noise outside.  Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and there was a faint smile on her bright red lips.  She walked halfway, jumped up, grabbed a rope hanging in mid-air, and climbed along the rope to the beam hanging the sail. Her movements were three points more dexterous than a monkey.  Even An Rui has to admire Shafei's skill. Not everyone can do such a difficult move.  In terms of strength, Sophie, a seemingly delicate woman, was far above him. Even if he inspired the dragon's blood wrath, he would not be able to defeat Sophie.  Sophie climbed all the way to the top beam that was thirty yards high, took down the retractable telescope hanging from her waist, stretched it to the limit, and looked up at the sea in the one o'clock direction.  Anrui raised his head and stared nervously at Shafei high up. His breathing became more and more rapid, for fear of hearing the order to attack.  Once Shafi declares an attack on the small ship, he will be in a dilemma. Whether he takes action or not, he will be in big trouble.  He didn¡¯t want to kill innocent people indiscriminately and harm strangers he had never met, nor did he want to disobey Shafei¡¯s orders and cause death.  "God blessGod bless" An Rui prayed crazily in his heart. Unknowingly, cold sweat broke out in his palms.  It¡¯s a pity that God did not fulfill people¡¯s wishes.  After holding up the telescope for observation for a while, Sophie put down the telescope, lowered her head and shouted crisply below: "Brothers, the prey is coming, get ready for battle! Load the cannonballs, prepare the fenders, grappling hooks, and weapons.  Okay! This small ship looks easy to deal with. I hope we can return with a full load today!" As soon as he said this, An Rui's heart sank to the bottom.  What he was most worried about finally happened.  Unlike the silent An Rui, the pirates around him all became extremely excited when they heard that they had found a suitable prey. Some were gearing up and others cheered.  "Long live! The prey finally appeared!" "Damn it, after waiting for so many days, I finally encountered a small boat. I must grab more money today." "Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly, I'm going to get my own  Weapons!" There was a sudden chaos on the open deck, and everyone started to move. No one was idle except An Rui.  Many people came in and out of the gangway, and those who went in didn't know where they went. Everyone who came out would bring something with them. Some people were holding grappling hooks composed of hooks and ropes, and some were holding  Bows and arrows quenched with poison or stained with animal oil.  These are weapons commonly used by pirates and can be of great use during ship hijacking.  The grappling hook can hook the enemy ship, allowing the pirate to swing onto the enemy ship like a swing.  Bows and arrows dipped in animal fat could be ignited and fired at the canvas of an enemy ship, burning the canvas.  Without the canvas, the sailboat will lose power, its speed will be greatly reduced, and it will become a lamb to be slaughtered.  The weapons and tools of pirates are far more than these. Each of them is very practical and can come in handy during robbery operations.  The pirates aboard the Scarlet Shark were all veterans, and they quickly prepared for battle. Those with positions stayed at their posts, while those without positions held weapons in their hands, gathered in a group, and stood.  On the open deck.  On the second deck, all the gunners were already in their positions. Just waiting for the captain's order, they would push the gun door open and push out the black muzzle.  As for the third deck, it has become empty at this time, and not even half of the pirates can be seen.  Even the laziest pirate would not dare to sleep at this time.  "An Rui, the battle is about to begin. Why don't you pull out your weapon? Are you scared?" A provocative voice sounded from the crowd, and the speaker was Karl, who had a problem with An Rui.  These words were hard to hear, but they hit the mark and touched An Rui's heart.  He was really scared, afraid of facing that dilemma.  Killing or being killed is not what he wants.  MeetRui remained silent, and the pirates around Carl followed suit, laughing at An Rui and calling him coward and coward.  Seeing this, Sophie jumped down from the beam, grabbed the rope hanging in the air, and slid to the ground along the rope.  "An Rui, take courage and don't forget the little agreement between us." Shafei came closer to An Rui and lowered her voice.  "Don't worry, I will muster up the courage." An Rui forced a smile and nodded.  Sophie blinked her left eye, fired an electric shock at Anrui, and then deftly returned to the mast.  She continued to observe the approaching small ship, and at the same time directed her own actions, giving orders to quickly approach the small ship that was about to be in trouble.  Anrui was still standing alone, in stark contrast to the group of eager pirates around him.  No matter how difficult the decision was, he had to make a choice and couldn't wait any longer.  This is a choice between killing and being killed, and it is also a choice between good and evil. It is like a whip, severely questioning his conscience and principles.  After a fierce struggle, his hesitant eyes finally became firm, his pupils condensed into dots, and he flashed a domineering gaze.  "Qiang" He pulled out the black iron-level sword hanging from his waist.  The edge of the sword is so sharp that it can easily cut through the iron rings of chain armor, let alone tear apart human flesh.  The sword needs to drink blood, and the harsh sound made by the friction between the sword blade and the scabbard is like a cruel scream thirsting for blood.  Holding a long sword in hand, Anrui walked into the crowd of pirates and stood together with them.  The pirates stopped their sarcastic remarks, thinking that An Rui would fight with them and participate in the robbery.  But the pirates were all wrong!  Although Anrui¡¯s people were standing here, their hearts drifted towards the unknown small ship.  He did not intend to join the pirates, but planned to stand on the relatively righteous side and fight side by side with the people of the small ship.  "Refuse to burn, kill, loot, and kill innocent people indiscriminately. This is his final decision."  This is a dangerous decision that will surely anger the pirates on the entire ship and make him a target of public criticism.  No one else needed to take action, just Sophie alone could take his life.  Although he knew it was dangerous, he still did it. This was in line with his character and his principles.  He will not succumb to the power of the pirates, or to the temptation of beauty, and become the executioner who kills innocent people indiscriminately.  No matter when or where, he will never abandon his conscience and the bottom line of being a human being.  An Rui holds the sword tightly and is ready for battle like the pirates around him. Once the battle starts, he will turn against him and help the people in the small boat.  This will be an extremely dangerous and tough battle, far more dangerous than the series of duels a few days ago.  The hand holding the sword overflowed with a lot of sweat. Fortunately, the hilt was wrapped with a strip of cloth to absorb the sweat, otherwise it would have slipped when the sword was used.  The other pirates were also gearing up, their fighting spirit was quite high, and they kept making excited roars.  The flag bearer has prepared the pirate flag with a red shark and a black skull, and will hoist the pirate flag as soon as the captain gives the order.  After all, piracy is an illegal business and will be attacked by the navies of various countries.  In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the Scarlet Shark always hides the pirate flag when sailing on weekdays. The pirate flag will only be hoisted when it is officially launched.  Not only the Scarlet Shark, but other pirate groups will also choose this approach.  To pirates, the Jolly Roger is like the teeth of a wild beast. It is not exposed on weekdays. Only in battle will its ferociousness be revealed!  "Brothers, be prepared. The ship is getting closer and closer to us. If everything goes well, we will meet within two minutes! This distance is close enough. Let me take a look at their flags and make a judgment.  Their background is that they hope this ship comes from a weak and incompetent country." Shafei still stood on the mast beam, holding up the telescope to watch.  The pirates below are waiting expectantly for Shafi¡¯s answer, which is very important to them.  "This is a dangerous sea. They can't just find a ship to attack, but they have to find a soft persimmon."  If it is an ordinary small merchant ship with no background, they will attack without hesitation. If it is a ship with a good background, they will have to weigh it carefully.  "Oh, damn! This is not an ordinary merchant ship, they are flying the flag of the 'Tears of the Stars Academy'!" Sophie finally saw the small ship clearly.The flag was hanging, and he cursed angrily and stamped his foot.  When the pirates below heard this, they were all shocked and made various sighs.  No wonder they were surprised, Tears of the Stars Academy was a typical tough guy, and they were not someone they could offend.  The Academy of Tears of the Stars is not an ordinary academy, but a magic academy. What is taught in it is not Chinese or mathematics, but magic!  In this academy, from teachers to apprentices, they are all genuine wizards, and almost everyone can cast magic.  In this world, magic is one of several powerful forces with extremely destructive power that ordinary people cannot contend with.  The power of a magic fire bomb is even higher than that of most artillery. It only takes one to blast a big hole in the ship.  If that ship is really the ship of Tears of the Stars Academy, no matter how small it is, the pirates would not dare to go over and provoke it.  Unlike the surprised pirates, An Rui showed unconcealable joy after learning the news. This was definitely great news for him.  If that was the ship of Tears of the Stars Academy, the pirates would definitely choose to avoid it, and there would be no battle.  He doesn¡¯t have to make difficult choices anymore, he doesn¡¯t have to kill people, and he doesn¡¯t have to be killed anymore. This couldn¡¯t be better!  "However, just a flag doesn't mean much. Anyone can make a flag. The Scarlet Shark can also make a flag of the Tears of the Stars Academy and hang it up, using the name of the Academy of Tears of the Stars to scare people.  This kind of scare tactic is exactly what those small merchant ships are used to.  In order to further verify, Sophie did not give orders to change course or slow down, but continued to move closer to the small ship.  On the sea, two ships were facing each other, getting closer and closer.
