Chapter 6 Is it a white dress crossing the river...? (6)
City Wall. This is the only word that Olus left in his mind after seeing the flying zodiac.
The huge hull was like a giant in mythology. As he approached him step by step, he seemed to be trying to stomp him, his fleet, and the entire continent behind him.
He unconsciously took a step back on the deck. But after the fear flashed through his consciousness, he shook in anger.
"Prepare for the fire of the ocean." He looked at the flying zombie horn fiercely and said, "No matter how big it is, it is just made of wood."
The reconnaissance team and the troops who came with Olus, a total of fifteen warships, including three large ships and twelve small ships, with a total force of about 800. Under Olus' order, they slowly approached the flying Zelan, just like soldiers in the square formation holding spears to approach the enemy's battle formation.
To everyone's surprise, the big ship did not fight back, and as soon as Olus' fleet approached, it honestly lowered the suspension bridge from the deck. However, the permissive move of the flying Zelans did not make Olus relax his guard at all. He had never seen such a big ship, and could not imagine what would be waiting for him on the ship.
"Everyone is cheering up. The paddler is not allowed to put down the paddles. The archer is ready to shoot at any time. The ocean fire and the crossbow must also be kept in a state that can be fired at any time."
After giving such an order, Olus took one hundred fully armed soldiers and two officers with "natural" class Areska guards to the flying Zelan.
On the deck were waiting for Olus, several merchants and sailors. Judging from their appearance, clothing and manners, the merchants were indeed from the Republic of Liguria. They lowered their heads timidly and said in a pleading tone: "Sir, we are merchants from the Republic of Liguria. The pirates opened the sea route a few days ago. We paid the sea trip to leave. This time, it was delayed for a lot of time and lost a lot. Please give us some convenience and let us go..."
Olus snorted coldly, suddenly pressed a sailor beside the merchant who had been lowering his head to the ground, then grabbed his hand and took off a metal ring with words engraved from his hand. He shook the ring in front of the group of merchants and asked coldly: "What is this?"
"This...this is..." The merchants looked at each other and hesitated and couldn't speak.
"I don't know? Isn't there words written on it? Come over and read it carefully, read it! Read it to me!"
The merchants came over tremblingly, looking at the characters on the iron ring, and couldn't say a single one for a long time.
"Don't you know? That's natural, I don't know. But my troops once fought with the Pirate Kingdom. When cleaning up the bodies, I found that everyone's pirates wore this ring on their hands! This is the symbol of the adulthood of men in the Pirate Kingdom! The words on it are also the unique words of the Pirate Kingdom! This person is a pirate in the Pirate Kingdom! Why would such a person be on your ship?"
"I'm just a mercenary!" said the man who was pressed under Olus.
This sentence made the merchants react and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, he is just a mercenary. We ran out of Azov City controlled by the Pirate Kingdom. If we want to hire mercenaries, we can only find these pirates..."
Olus' sharp eyes swept across the wrists of everyone present.
"Mercenary is it... OK, take me to the cabin again and let me see your paddlers... and cargo."
The merchants suddenly became anxious: "Sir, this..."
Before the merchants could finish their words, Olus pressed the throat of one of the merchants with his sword. As soon as Olus moved, the soldiers he brought immediately took control of the people on the deck.
"Take me down and see your paddlers and cargoes." Olus repeated coldly.
The merchants had to agree.
The cabin was filled with wooden boxes half a person tall. Olus glanced outside the cabin and asked, "What kind of cargo is there?"
"This...there are all kinds..."
Just as the merchant was stammeringly answering, a voice suddenly came from a wooden box: "I'm suffocating! When will we come out!"
Olus glanced at the merchants meaningfully. One of the merchants wiped their sweat and continued their final struggle: "This... this is the slave we are going to sell."
Olus gave the two soldiers around him a wink. The two soldiers walked up without saying a word and pried open the lid of one of the wooden boxes with their swords. Two curled pirates appeared in the wooden boxes. Before the two pirates realized what was going on, they stretched and took a long breath: "My God, has it finally arrived? I'm suffocated to death... Um."
Everything was gone. Two soldiers covered a pirate's mouth and tried to use a knife to wipe their necks. But their strength was not as strong as those two pirates. The pirates tried hard to break free from the control of the two soldiers and shouted loudly: "Brothers! Have been discovered! Don't hide! Come out quickly!"
There was a sudden turmoil in the hundreds of boxes, which was the pirates trying to open the boxes from the inside - not only this cabin, but also the same sound from other cabins.
Olus's face turned blue. He never expected that it would cause such a big noise. With the size of this ship, if each cabin was filled with such boxes and the boxes were filled with pirates, it would probably be enough to hold a thousand people!
"Get out of the boat immediately!" Olus clasped his sword tightly, turned around and rushed towards the deck.
Seeing that the matter was exposed, the sailors on the deck broke away from the soldiers and prepared to block Olus' retreat. Fortunately, these pirates disguised as sailors had no weapons, and it would take some time for the pirates in the cabin to crawl out of the box. Olus led the soldiers to fight out a bloody path and successfully rushed to the deck.
"It's confirmed that it's an enemy!" Olus shouted at the fleet surrounding the flying Zelans, "Start an attack now!"
At this moment, the first group of pirates who had climbed out of the box had already rushed up with their axes and fought with the soldiers around Olus. Taking advantage of the opportunity the soldiers had won, Olus climbed back to his ship along the ladder.
"Is the ocean fire ready?" As soon as Olus got off the ship, he asked the soldiers around him. After receiving a positive answer, he shouted at the soldiers on the flying Zelans: "Don't fight! I'll give you five seconds. One, two, three..."
Not to mention that this was an enemy ship, in order to destroy the enemy, Olus even dared to fire at his ship. The soldiers who knew Olus' temperament knew that they could not climb the soft ladder slowly, and jumped directly into the sea from the flying Zelans one after another.
“…Four, Five, Ocean Fire, Ejaculation!”
Unlike Ella's recipe, Olus' fleet is equipped with real ocean fire. It can burn on the sea, which means that once a ship is ignited by it, the fire will be extremely difficult to extinguish.
Once the flying Zelans suffered a substantial attack, it meant the beginning of the war between the Pirate Kingdom and the Seven Hills Empire.
However, just as the soldiers were about to step down the jet pedal, a familiar figure of Olus suddenly walked to the side of the ship and shouted at Olus below:
Chapter completed!
