Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 388 Smuggling Slaves (Two in One)

Will Robert put his hands behind his head, crossed his legs, stood on the side of the boat, covered his face with a huge hat, and was enjoying the sunny day after the storm.

"Captain, I found a merchant ship ahead, it's... a merchant ship from Yas Port!"

Robert pulled down his hat a little bit, and glanced at the somewhat excited sailor from the corner of his eye. He still had a crude monocular on his chest. His darkened eye sockets and sallow complexion were all caused by lust and excessive drinking. It is common among sailors.

And pirates, even more so.

"Need me to tell you what to do?"

Robert put the hat back on again and asked lazily.

"No need, no need, stop them first, then go up and grab everything, kill all the men, and kill all the women... Hehe, hehe!"

The pirate smiled and turned around, then ran away.

Robert continued to close his eyes, thinking in his heart, these pirates are really worthless. Without the support of Robert's family, they might be so hungry that they would sell their ship...

"Captain, Captain!"

"What's the matter?" He pulled down his hat again, seeing the slightly surprised expression on the pirate's face.

"That ship, it, it didn't run away when it saw us!"

"Trash, wouldn't it be easy if you don't run?" Robert scolded.So the pirate trotted back to his place again.

But before Robert put the hood on, he heard the pirate's footsteps coming for the third time, and a terrified cry:
"Captain, Captain!"

"What the fuck? Want me to wring your head off as a chamber pot and feed that thing to sharks?!"

Robert sat up and roared furiously, but out of the corner of his eye he saw something flying in the sky behind the pirate, and the pirate's voice rang in his ears at the same time:

"They, they actually fired at us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the icy blue object rapidly enlarged in the air, and finally hit the deck less than three meters behind the pirate's buttocks. The shattered ice crystals scattered like a rain of swords, and one of them happened to come from the pirate's back. Heart pierced.

Looking at the pirate with his mouth open, Robert's eyes suddenly widened, an ice spike protruded from his chest, and then he fell headfirst in front of him.

"Damn it, you have three fucking cannons and you're being beaten like this!" Robert stood up suddenly, his chest was filled with anger, and he shouted loudly at the pirates who were traumatized first and then panicked, " Fire all three cannons, give me a damn hard hit!"

He was really pissed off—since the Robert family "invested" in pirates, this "business" could generate hundreds of Gentry's income out of thin air every month, and even blatantly collected marine protection fees.

For so many years, no one has been beaten like them before!
Still a merchant ship!
The pirate ship slowly moved sideways. Its muzzles were all displayed on both sides of the hull. They were equipped with three ship-mounted magic crystal heavy cannons. This was Robert's most complacent thing. Its powerful firepower could even A pothole was left on the coastal defense fortress——

But before the ship turned around, Robert heard another clear explosion at the other end, and then a crystal blue ice ball drew an arc in the air and flew towards it.Robert's eyes widened, and he saw that the arc drawn by the ice puck was extremely perfect, and it hit the side of the pirate ship precisely!

Boom!
He only felt the deck under his feet shake, and within a few seconds, a pirate shouted: "Captain, our two guns have been smashed!"

"Damn it, a bunch of idiots!" Robert rushed down from a high place angrily, but before he reached the cabin where the magic crystal cannon was loaded, he saw the merchant ship in the distance with full sails and full power. coming straight towards them.

"Damn it, they don't want to fight us on board! Forget about these two cannons, get ready to board! I'm going to cut down those rotten assholes!"

And on the merchant ship over there, Gwulf was proudly accepting the compliments from his colleagues——Danya, such a precise artillery technique was actually performed by a student who just graduated!
"By the way, what I'm best at is not ship-mounted guns, but ballistas. I can also use siege vehicles..." Before he finished speaking, Evans came down from the deck in a hurry, and said loudly : "Nice job ladies and gentlemen, but now is not the time to celebrate, it seems that those pirates want to fight us in melee, I don't think any of you failed your swordsmanship exam?"

"Of course, sir!" The graduates responded loudly in unison.

"Then draw your sword now, and prepare to deal with this group of kingdom moths with me!"

He drew out his long sword with a swish, and rushed to the deck with the graduates in full swing.And the pirate ship on the other end didn't even choose to run away, but instead greeted him straight up, which was exactly what Evans wanted——

It didn't take long for the two ships to stick close together, and the hulls even bumped into each other, causing everyone on the deck to shake.Although the pirates on the pirate ship were not good enough, they had done a lot of work in this line of work after all, and they already had a lot of experience. When the two ships were about to touch each other, they lowered their figures, and the leader shouted:

"Get ready, the old rules, one head is worth ten silver..."

"Ten military merits per head, go!"

But before he finished speaking, he heard such a sound on the deck over there, and then a group of young people with swords shining in their hands jumped over the side of the ship, even ignoring the shaking of the ship.

The leading pirate was directly knocked to the ground by a young man, and then the line of the pirates leaning against the side of the ship was completely dispersed, falling into a chaotic battle.

They brandished their scimitars. This kind of weapon that usually scares the merchant crew to the ground seems weak at this moment. What responded to them was a series of sharp sword lights, and the opponents were all long swords. , and the sword moves are also uniform, just like the reserve team of some army.

In the blink of an eye, the pirates suffered heavy casualties.Not only is their personal strength at a disadvantage, they are even inferior to each other in terms of numbers!
Robert was already dumbfounded when he watched from the rear - with such ferocity and precise artillery skills, who is the pirate?

He seems to have heard what the leader shouted, ten military merits for one person?Could it be... which army ship is this?

It was only at this moment that he came to his senses—with such cannon skills and sword skills, how could it be an ordinary merchant ship?

Seeing that the pirates were almost completely killed, and soldiers on the other side had spotted him, he immediately raised his hands and shouted loudly: "Don't kill me, I'm not a pirate, I'm Will Robert, I'm Rab Port Robert family!"

His voice immediately stopped several soldiers leaning towards him, and then someone turned around and asked loudly:

"Sir, this pirate said he was from the Robert family of Labrador!"

"Labrador? I don't care whether you can pull it or not. You can't do it until you're knocked out!" the young man who cut the most fiercely and drew the sword the fastest shouted fiercely, and then strode over.Robert opened his mouth, looking at the shining sword edge in the man's hand, his face was stiff, and his crotch was wet before he knew it——

Immediately, he saw the man raise his foot and kick him in the side, and at the same time as the pain came, he also passed out.

--------

When Robert woke up, he was hanging from the mast with ropes, his feet could not touch the deck, and he was shaking back and forth with the shaking of the ship.

The scorching sun on the sea at noon made him dizzy, and he saw hazy figures active on the deck in his sight, and none of them were pirates.He vaguely heard people talking:
"Sir, I found a cage in the cabin, which is full of..."

"What is it all?"

"All orc cubs..."

"Smuggling slaves? I'll go and see."

The sound of footsteps quickly faded away, it seemed like a long time passed, and it seemed like a few minutes later, Robert stopped in front of him when he heard the footsteps that had kicked him unconscious before, and then the cold sword edge stuck to him side face——

"name?"

He opened his eyes, and saw that it was a young man's face, with an unshaven beard on the corner of his mouth, and lowered eyelids, unexpectedly a little bit of the vicissitudes of middle age.

But Robert only took a few glances at the other party, and felt a coolness on his cheek, and then a heat - the young man swung the long sword in his hand, showed him the blood on the blade, and then stuck it back to his side cheek superior.

This time, the position is even lower——

"I ask you, name."

"Robert, Will Robert! The Robert family of Raab Harbor... No, Earl Robert, have you heard, that is my family—"

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw another flash of sword light, then another coolness on his side cheek, and then hot and viscous liquid flowed down——

This time, before the young man showed the long sword, he knew it was his own blood.He yelled in horror, but the young man's long sword stuck up again——

This time, it was the side of his neck.

"Don't answer what you didn't ask, and don't answer too much." The young man's voice was cold, and he asked, "So the Robert family and the pirates are all in league?"

"No, it's not..." Robert was sweating coldly, he now knew that this young man absolutely didn't care about the Robert family, he would really kill himself—

"No?" The sword on the side of the neck was pressed tightly for a moment, and Robert immediately yelled loudly: "Yes, yes, we donate money to pirates, rob merchant ships, and collect protection fees!"

"that's it?"

"That's all! That's all!" Robert just said, but found that the young man's gaze became fierce in an instant, and even the tone of his voice dropped two notes: "The imprisoned half-orc cub, how do you explain it?" ?”

"Orc cub, this, ah, I—"

All of a sudden, Robert's back was covered with sweat, his whole body felt cold, and his bound body trembled even more like chaff.

Normally, it is not their turn to do this, but the storm blocked another pirate ship a few days ago, so they just acted as middlemen and took care of the transfer.

But just this time, they were caught——

He didn't notice the young man's sigh after confirming it, and then without giving him a chance to defend himself, he raised his palm and knocked him unconscious.

Evans was holding a long sword, and blood was still flowing on the sword.He really wanted to kill the maggots in this kingdom with a single sword, but it didn't work——

"La Rochelle, La Rochelle, your descendants have begun to forget why you were born?"

He said softly, then cut the rope with a sword, watched the member of the Robert family fall heavily on the deck, and then commanded: "Put him in a prison, and lock him as you want to lock a half-orc."

"Who has studied interrogation? The kind of torture?"

Immediately, a graduate who was carrying the goods on the pirate ship raised his hand: "I will, sir, I am very good at this. I was going to be arranged by my family to go to prison, oil and water..."

Halfway through his speech, he realized his slip of the tongue, touched the back of his head and laughed, and Evans didn't care about it, and called him over: "This Robert is for you to interrogate, about the Robert family investing in pirates and slave smuggling." , Let me try them all... You should know what crime smuggling slaves is."

"Slave smuggling?" The graduate was stunned for a moment, and his expression immediately became serious. "I see, I must let him confess everything, and squeeze out all the bile from him."

He paused, and asked in a low voice: "By the way, the results of the interrogation..."

"Give it to me after sorting it out. I'll rewrite it and send it to, um..." Evans sat on the deck, raised his head and thought for a moment, and said in his heart, "Let's send it to Her Royal Highness."

He sat quietly on the deck for a while before returning to the previous merchant ship.Those half-orc children were all assigned to comfortable rooms. He walked into the cabin, visited one by one, looked at the pairs of shrinking eyes and dodging eyes, and shook his head again and again.

He returned to his room, and there was a beast mother with a fox tail, curled up in a damp corner of the room, a small ball, covering her body with a messy tail, trembling.

Evans sighed, picked up the little animal and put it on the bedding, and covered her with a quilt.

He suddenly thought of the half-elf boy—the half-elf boy Cyril Adrian who seemed to have a clear route from the northern border and headed eastward with all his heart.

He seems to have been made an earl?Should have been mixed in Amathir by now?
"Adrien, I understand what you mean by 'mess'." He leaned back against the head of the bed, feeling the slight shaking, and whispered:
"To stop or save... Maybe it's right to start from scratch."

"Well, you're right."

"Maybe...Solkonan shouldn't mind if I poach some graduates' corners?"

Ships on the sea in the south are swaying, the north is still swaying with wind and snow, and the high principle in the west is a haze.

Mia Christian read a storybook to Tiffany under the sunshine of Solconan, while Dongfang Amathir and Cyril led the team and appeared in the Koro jungle.

It is now 1440, the Year of the Dragons, and on June 6, the rainy season in Amathir has just ended.

The festival of elves is just about to begin.
