"Speed it up for me! Don't dawdle!"
Time went back to a little earlier, among the crowd at the edge of the broken bridge in the haven, Tielin's voice was constantly echoing among the busy pirates, accompanied by him crossing his arms. Afterwards, the eyes kept looking back and forth: "The little ones who are not sick or injured are going to help put the injured ones on the shelves! And the food and water we have worked so hard to save! Don't leave any of them behind!"
"Yes! Boss!" As if they were in a state of preparation for war, the faces of the pirates running back and forth were full of caution and excitement: "We can all load the ship soon!"
"Where are the weapons and ammunition that I asked you to polish and prepare? You won't throw them into the sea for me, right? And the goods that were entrusted to us - if I find that one is missing after I get on the ship, Box, I will chop off your heads and throw them into the sea!"
"Yes Yes!"
The inexplicably tense atmosphere became more obvious with the appearance of these shouts. As Tielin's eyes continued to examine the scene back and forth, he appeared on the left and right of the broken bridge. The figure belonging to Asahi Dongsheng appeared the next moment. Behind him, there was a voice that sounded like he was doing nothing: "The captain looks very busy."
"As you can see, we're getting going."
Turning his head to look at the identity of the visitor, Tielin looked at him and then explained in a low voice as if he understood the other party's intention: "We finally waited for this sunny weather. If we don't take advantage of this time to go to sea, it will simply ruin us." What’s the luck of a man at sea.”
"Even a fool can tell that you are leaving." Asahi Dongsheng pouted, and put his raised hands behind his head: "But... Is there really no problem with leaving so suddenly?"
"No problem, I walked like this a few times before." Looking towards the direction of the tower behind him, Tielin replied in a low voice: "If there is a chance, I also want to have a good relationship with the Lord of the Haven. I would like to say goodbye and thank him for taking care of me and my fellow sailors during this time."
"It's a pity that the gentleman always refuses our thanks."
As if remembering something regretful, this bearded man who always had a fierce and fierce look on his face slowly restrained his unruly attitude: "The existence of the safe haven is simply a big deal for us pirates. It is a gift, and the more we experience the harshness of the sea, the less we can repay this gift.”
"I can't tell, but the captain has a deep affection for that adult." Asahi Dongsheng pretended to wipe his nose: "Do you want us to pass a message for you?"
"No need." He let out a slight cold snort, and then Tielin's sharp eyes slowly appeared: "It's you - why don't you leave?"
"Let's go? How to go?" Putting on an innocent posture, Asahi Dongsheng gestured to the other members of the Qingling Adventure Group who were also gathered not far behind him: "Even if you don't consider our important ones, Wounded, we have no way to leave this place now."
"Don't expect us to take you away, our ship is full."
Frowning his brows, Tielin then hid the divine light in his eyes as he turned around: "Don't blame us for being ruthless, but our ship is already scarred. After these days of emergency repairs, It’s still the case, and—”
"Appearing on the sea with pirates is not a good thing for our reputation as adventurers." Asahi Dongsheng said the second half of the sentence for the other party, and a smile of understanding appeared on his face as he hugged the back of his head: "Hasn't Captain Tielin been planning to use the name of the Steel to change his career? Why are you still so concerned about the reputation of pirates?"
"We will not give up the name of the Steel, but the identity of a pirate is not so easy to wash away." The iron hook reflected the bright metallic light under the sunlight, and then converged a little with Tielin's hiding action. : "Unlike you adventurers, every pirate who was born in the sea and made a great name in the sea has already realized that he will never be able to enter heaven and be accepted by the goddess of fate."
"..."
"Humph, there's no need to feel sad for us."
Realizing that Asahi Dongsheng was also looking up at the blue sky, Tielin's disdainful tone also emerged: "The men of the sea are never afraid of challenges of this level. We will eventually find someone who can live with our heads held high." Instead of worrying about whether we can survive the next voyage, we should think about how you can leave."
"This is another reason why I came here." Asahi Dongsheng also had a bright smile on his face: "I wonder if the captain and the Steel have any spare boats? A small rescue boat can also be used."
"...There are no spare boats, but there is a small rescue boat, but do you want to use that kind of thing to cross the entire endless sea? It can't even fit all of you."
"You don't have to worry about this. All the members of our Qingling Adventure Group are experts at modification. As long as we have the materials and foundation, we can do it in minutes -"
"Boss! Boss!"
A hurried pirate from the front suddenly stopped in front of Tielin, interrupting Asahi Dongsheng's unfinished words and Tielin's attention: "Hope just discovered a ship! It's heading towards us. near!"
"Did you also come to the shelter to take refuge?" Tie Lin twisted his eyebrows and cast his gaze to the distant sea beyond the broken bridge: "It's really bad luck. I found the shelter only after the weather cleared." At this location, by the time they finish their rest, the storm should have come long ago."
"It's not that simple, boss! That ship is flying the same flag as ours!" He hurriedly shouted these words, and then the pirate who came to report quietly glanced at Chao Ri Dongsheng's face next to him as if he was afraid: "It looks like, like..."
"What?" His brows gradually furrowed deeper and deeper, and Tielin's eyes began to focus on the direction he had just looked at: "Could it be them?"
Also concentrating all his eyesight, Asahi Dongsheng also looked in the direction that Tielin and others were paying attention to at this time. A rickety pirate ship that looked equally scarred also had damage that was swaying in the wind. The end of the sail, the horizontal line connecting the sea and the blue sky, is gradually heading this way. After distinguishing the same black skull flag hanging vaguely on the top of the sail, Chaori Dongsheng's expression began to turn a lot more evil, but Tielin's loud shout suddenly passed through his ears the next moment, towards him. The crowds still hurriedly spread around the farther haven: "It's Black Palm's ship! Boys! Get ready to fight!"
"Black Palm? They actually chased us?"
"Damn it! Didn't Dar lose himself and scuttled their ship? Why are they still fine?"
"This is the chance to take revenge on Dar and the others! Brothers, give me—"
boom!
The ear-piercing explosion then became the dominant force beside the broken bridge, completely covering up the noise and angry shouts that the pirates had just prepared to set off. The water splash caused by the explosion and the three or two figures who were also blown away also followed. The faint roar spread outward, accompanied by the arrogant laughter coming from the distant pirate ship: "Hahahahaha! Hit, hit! Unexpectedly, the first shot was It’s a hit, I’ll give Lei Lun the first credit later!”
"——Black Palm! You bastard!"
A large number of dumped cargo boxes and flying gravel continued to fall in front of Tielin, which completely aroused the angry and muffled roar of the ashen-faced pirate captain: "How dare you come in front of me? I'm going to Cut you to pieces!"
"If you have the guts, come and chop it down! You old coward." As if he was mocking Tielin, the laughter coming from the distance was also rocking back and forth in the waves like the pirate ship: " The death squads you sent up didn't defeat me, and the storm in the Endless Sea didn't defeat me. Now it's your turn! You have nowhere to escape!"
"The Steel has never escaped and will never escape in the future!" The deafening voice echoed on the side of the broken bridge. Tielin used such a loud shout to completely arouse the momentum of other pirates around him: "Since you sent the If you come to the door, I will help you today!"
"Fire! Fight back!"
Amidst the voices of the pirates promising in unison, the crew of the Steel, who were busy going back and forth by the broken bridge, were now completely in a state of battle. The dull explosion sound came before they could move out the magic cannon on the ship. Before, it echoed again around the sea area near the broken bridge. The cannons powered by magic smashed the shells carrying unstable energy onto the sea above and below the broken bridge again and again. The waves and debris that were accidentally stirred up became more and more serious as another pirate ship approached. The more frequent it became, the anchored steel ship under the broken bridge became the focus of the opponent's care. Before a counterattack was launched, it began to become unstable with the appearance of explosions: "Oops, oops." If this continues, our ship will sink!"
"Throw magic dust! Block their sight! Archers! Shoot them to death!"
"No, boss, the distance is still a bit far!"
"Then wait for me on the shore! Anjie! Go and drive the boat away! Go around behind the bridge!"
"...Are these people going a little too far?"
As if he could clearly see the scenes taking place at the edge of the safe haven, Molnar's face hidden under the hood on the attic of the high tower was flashing an increasingly dazzling yellow light: "Surprisingly, They're going to destroy my bridge if they mess around like this in my territory."
"Isn't this bridge broken to begin with?" After letting out such a bitter smile, Duan Qing, who was lying on the edge of the attic window, quickly turned his head: "Don't rush to take action, Mr. Molnar, this is How about we take care of it?"
"Why, do you have other better methods?" The dim yellow light turned to Duan Qing, and Molnar's voice also had a hint of doubt: "Can you stop those uninvited guests?"
"In other words, the pirate ship who calls himself Black Palm is not a familiar friend of your Excellency, is he?"
After receiving a positive answer from Molnar, Duan Qing nodded vigorously: "It's not that we can talk about dealing with it, but we also have some ideas and reasons of our own... Well."
"It seems they think the same thing as me."
Through his distant sight, Duan Qing cast his gaze on the other team members who were also approaching Tielin at this time. They, led by Xue Ling Huan Bing, also protected themselves from the waves caused by the sky-wide bombardment. They raised their heads and raised their proposals loudly at the same time: "Captain Tielin! Your Excellency Tielin! How about we negotiate a deal?"
"I'm very busy now! And I'm not in the mood!" The unkind expression was still placed at the front of the broken bridge with the floating black cloak. The dull and murderous voice belonging to Tielin also became slightly louder with the appearance of these people. Faded a little: "If you have something to say, please tell me!"
"Let's join the fight too."
Pointing to the ship that was still approaching not far away, Xue Ling Huan Bing's face showed a calm but confident smile: "Does the Steel need our assistance to help you kill that pirate ship?" enemy?"
"...Ha." As if he heard some joke, Tielin sneered after a period of silence: "Just you?"
"certainly."
The white spear suddenly reflected a dazzling light in the sun, sending a burst of gun energy flying straight to the outside of the broken bridge. A magic cannonball flying from the distance also crossed the path of the gun energy. The bottom split and disintegrated, exploding into a heavy and brilliant firework in the air: "Our strength has been proven many times in the past period. You should put more trust in us."
"As you can see, our life is not very easy now." His eyes stayed on the straight white track across the sky for a moment, and Tielin's expression finally began to relax: "We don't have any compensation. Pay it to you."
"We have already thought about the remuneration."
Signaling the other players behind him to start taking action, Xue Ling Huan Bing showed an indifferent smile on his face: "As long as they block a few more bombardments, they should give up long-range bombing. Once they get close and start hand-to-hand combat, we will have a chance." Fight back and board their ship."
"Ship-stealing is the exclusive domain of pirates. That's when you can use your strengths." She threw away her spear and gestured in the direction of the swaying pirate ship: "What did you grab?" It can all be yours.”
"We only need that boat as reward and loot for our help this time."
