    The next afternoon, in the lobby of a hotel in Tiepao Port.  The not very spacious hall was crowded with people. These people were all crew members or sailors hired by Anrui not long ago. They got the news through various channels and heard that the new captain came to talk to them.  Since everyone came at different times, some came early and some came late, it was not until the afternoon that everyone arrived.  Everyone has arrived, but An Rui, as the convener, has not appeared for a long time. Only Berego entertains everyone.  ¡°Many people saw what happened yesterday with their own eyes. Even those who didn¡¯t saw it with their own eyes learned about the general situation through other people¡¯s oral accounts.  Everyone in the room knew that Bai Ge threatened to take away the Longteng in front of An Rui.  This is really a big blow to them.  Everyone knows who Bai Ge is, and how ferocious the Viking pirates are is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.  You absolutely cannot afford to offend such a terrifying guy.  In this case, the Longteng will definitely not be saved.  Since we don¡¯t even have a boat, why go to sea?  This incident has made people panic. After everyone came here, they have been discussing related topics. People's hearts have dispersed. Many people threatened to terminate the contract with Anrui to avoid getting into trouble.  After all, these people were just recruited by An Rui. They had no feelings at all and were just contracts.  Now that something happened to An Rui, everyone will naturally fall into disarray. No one will be willing to accompany An Rui to tide over the difficulties. This is human nature and understandable.  Berego was sitting on the window sill, leaning against the wall, playing with the wooden bow in his hand, occasionally fiddling with the strings.  People in the hall would occasionally come up to talk to him, but he didn't bother to pay attention to them, because the content of those people's conversations always came and went in the same way, and he got bored after answering a few times.  In fact, what these crew members and sailors are most eager to know is the captain An Rui¡¯s thoughts and plans for the future.  But Berego couldn't answer this question for him, but left it to Anrui himself to answer.  Everyone¡¯s wait finally came to fruition, and the captain An Rui was revealed.  There was a sound of footsteps on the stairs leading to the second floor, and An Rui and two companions walked down the stairs together.  His face was as heavy as water, without any expression, and he looked very calm.  The originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone turned their eyes and looked at An Rui who was walking down the stairs.  An Rui nodded slightly to everyone as a greeting, and then walked to the center of the crowd.  "Is everyone here?" An Rui took a deep breath and asked.  "They are all here, every one at least." The one who answered was Berego, who had already counted the number of people in the hall.  "Okay, now that everyone is here, let's spread out what we need to say." An Rui turned around in a circle, his eyes sweeping across everyone's faces, "Thank you for your support these days.  , you are willing to go to sea with me, and you are willing to be my crew and sailor, it is to give me face. Originally, I wanted to take everyone to sea to make a lot of money, but I didn't expect that there were complications and unpleasant things like yesterday happened.  ¡± Everyone was silent, listening to An Rui¡¯s speech.  "I think you all know what happened yesterday, so I won't talk nonsense anymore. Bai Ge has taken a fancy to the Longteng and wants to take it away. I am not his opponent and I agreed to it. In a few days  , I will personally drive this ship and deliver her to Bai Ge. I have to say that this kind of thing is really a shame for a captain, let alone doing it myself, just talking about it makes me feel.  Sad and angry." When An Rui said this, he laughed at himself and shook his head.  "But it is useless to be sad and angry. I am not Bai Ge's opponent at all, and I can't expect help from others. I can only bear everything on my own shoulders. This Longteng will eventually be delivered to Bai Ge. In this way  , I, the captain, have become a mere commander. How can I be a captain without a ship? My financial resources are not enough to buy another ship. After sending away the Dragon, I will lose the qualification to be a captain.  There is no need for you to continue to follow me." An Rui paused, glanced around again, and then said: "I called you here today mainly to announce something. I want to terminate the contract with you from now on.  From now on, we are no longer an employer-employee relationship. This time I broke the contract on my own initiative, so I will pay the corresponding liquidated damages, but it won't be too much. I hope you won't be picky about it these days.  I'm very happy, and if possible, I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. " Everyone was still silent, and their expressions were not very good. Although the contact time was not very long, they had a good impression of Anrui.  This would be a good employer, but I didn't expect that something like this would happen.  "Ship""," Someone finally broke the silence, "Let's forget about the breach of contract.  You have lost such a good ship, how can we continue to add insult to injury? That is so inhumane.  " "Yes, you are right. If we ask for liquidated damages at this time, it would be too unkind.  " "Captain, we won't ask for a penny. You can just tear up those contracts yourself.  " Others agreed, and no one had the nerve to ask An Rui for the meager liquidated damages in this situation. " An Rui nodded, feeling a little warmer in his heart. Since this is everyone's intention, don't refuse.  He thanked everyone, then took a bottle of wine, poured himself a glass, raised it above his head, saluted everyone, and drank it all, and the relationship between An Rui and these people was revealed.  Even if it was completely resolved, everyone left. A few people patted An Rui on the shoulder and expressed comfort before leaving. If they had suffered such a loss, they would have been so anxious that they would have jumped into the well just now.  The hall suddenly became empty, as if An Rui's career had just started to improve, but suddenly fell to the bottom. In the end, apart from An Rui, only Shafi, Berego and others were left in the hall.  Sam¡¯s three confidants are gone, but An Rui¡¯s words have not been completely finished. ¡°These people have no friendship with me, and they cannot share weal and woe with me. Even if I really want to surrender the ship, they cannot.  What's more, I have other plans, so it's impossible to really give the boat to Bai Ge.  Therefore, these people can only be dismissed and have no other choice.  After they left, it was time to talk about our business.  "An Rui put on a more serious expression than before and stared at the three companions. "An Rui, just say what you have to say.  No matter what your plans are, I will lay down my life to help you.  "Berego said loudly immediately. Sophie also nodded, but Sam did not make any comment. "I have a plan, but it is not a foolproof strategy and there are still great risks.  Bai Ge's group of pirates is very powerful. I asked someone to find out. They brought ten ships this time, including several 'Viking special ships'.  Regardless of whether we compete with the strength of a single person or the strength of a fleet, we cannot be the opponent of Bai Ge and this group of pirates.  This huge gap in strength cannot be made up by some tricks.  "An Rui said in a deep voice. "When they heard the word Viking special ship, the expressions of Berego and the others suddenly changed, and their fighting spirit dropped a bit. "On the sea, special ships are synonymous with strength. In terms of strength, special ships are synonymous with strength."  Far more than ordinary ships, there are many types of special ships, the more common ones are magic type, temple type, ghost type, murloc type, biological type, hell type, druid type, flying type, mechanical type, and maintenance type.  Viking type, etc. These types have their own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, and have different tactical strategies in combat. Among them, the Viking type special ships mainly have two characteristics. First, there are shamans.  The additional totems have various effects, which are close to the magic circle. Second, there will be some domesticated monsters on the ship, the more typical ones are bipedal pterosaurs, violent bears, and sharks. Relying on these two advantages, Wei.  The Beijing ship can produce quite strong combat effectiveness, which is by no means inferior to other special ships. Bai Ge has been galloping on the blade sea for many years and has experienced countless battles, let alone An Rui.  It is very difficult for a ship, even a whole fleet, to compete with it. Berego and others all know something about the Viking-type special ships, so their expressions changed slightly.  , he became more aware of the combat effectiveness of the Viking special ships. Just by closing his eyes, he could imagine the scene of fighting the Viking special ships. Shaman totems with mysterious power shine on the canvas and the hull.  Cannons made loud noises and poured out shells one after another. Bipedal pterosaurs were flying in the air. Orcs were holding sharp blades and riding sharks on the sea What An Rui is about to face is this kind of terrifying situation.  Opponent. "Speaking of my plan, it's actually very simple. On the day I go to sea to deliver the ship, I will use some means to create some favorable conditions, and then take advantage of the chaos to break out of the siege of the Viking fleet and escape from their siege.  Block pursuit.  This process is easy to say, but difficult to do. I think you will know the dangers involved even if I don't say it.  I am only 60% sure about this plan, which is not very high.  Once you fail, you will be buried in the sea.  Therefore, I do not force you to gamble your life with me.  "An Rui said with burning eyes, "If??If any of you want to leave, you can just leave and I won't have any complaints.  Life is precious, there is no need for you to take risks with me.  However, I only give you one chance to withdraw. You decide whether to leave or stay.  If you choose to stay with me through thick and thin, don't regret it again in the future. I don't like others to go back and forth.  ¡± An Rui put a serious question in front of everyone. The danger of this operation was much more dangerous than what they had experienced before. What about the misty forest, spider cave, thunder mountain, and underwater cemetery, and this  The actions of this time were incomparable. Shafi, Berego and Sam were all silent and did not answer immediately. Anrui slowly raised his fist and asked solemnly: "Are you willing to lend me your life?  "
