"Morris, what are you doing? Come and clean up the water on the deck!"

On the surface of the South Kuyavian Sea, a merchant ship is going downwind. This merchant ship is departing from the Kingdom of Garagon on the Istria Peninsula and is preparing to cross the ocean to Atlantis in the Sea of ​​Atlantis. The Kingdom of Reims carried out commercial trade, and the merchant ships were loaded with a large amount of goods, so that the water level would soon sink to the edge of the waterline.

Hearing the shout of Uncle Brasso, the young man named Morris quickly left the side of the ship that had just been supported, and ran to the **** middle-aged man with a pony-like smile on his face, and said: "Uncle Brasso, I'll get it right away."

"Don't do it right away, go now, otherwise the captain will be unhappy when he sees it." Uncle Brasso said, and Morris could only rub his hands when he heard that, and ran to the side to pick up tools to clean up the stagnant water.

He sneaked aboard the ship from Legislative Port in the Kingdom of Garagon with his family on his back, in order to leave his impoverished and boring home and go to the remote, legendary, wealthy kingdom of Atlans to find opportunities. Uncle Brasso, whom he knew, didn't let him be driven away by the captain after he was found.

Holding tools to clean the deck, Morris thought of several younger brothers and sisters in the family. Although he is not the eldest son, he is as tired of the life of the family as the three brothers. The two brothers have already responded to the king’s call to join the army. When fighting on the front line, only he and another elder brother remained at home, and now he is also gone. I don’t know how the remaining elder brother will bear the burden of the entire family.

"Ugh."

He sighed, but the tool in his hand suddenly fell off, just to knock down a passing sailor. Morris quickly picked up the tool. Before he looked up at the smashed sailor, he was picked up by the neckline and had a meal. The spitting scolding.

Morris has become accustomed to such abuses. In the days after boarding, he was often abused by rude sailors. Whether it was trivial matters or the simple bad temper of the sailors, he would suffer. In the end, it was the cloth. Uncle Lasso couldn't stand it, and stood up to help him, otherwise he would not be peaceful until now.

Just when Morris thought he would continue to be scolded, the sailor on the pole of the boat suddenly shouted loudly. Following his shout and the direction of his fingers, everyone on the deck was surprised to find, A fleet of more than 20 warships appeared on the north sea. Compared to the merchant ships themselves, those warships could be described as behemoths, and even from a distance, they had a very strong deterrent effect.

Looking at the battleships, everyone was stunned. It took a few minutes before the captain’s shouts brought them back to reality. Following the captain’s order, all the sailors ran into the cabin and loaded boxes after boxes with weapons. The wooden box was carried out and placed on the deck. Then everyone selected their weapons from the wooden box and ran to both sides of the ship's side, watching nervously at the fleet that was getting closer and closer.

Morris, who was thrown by the rude sailor, stared blankly at those people as if they were facing enemies. He didn't respond for a long time. The captain who distributed weapons over there swept him away. He couldn't get angry. He stepped forward and kicked Morris over and forcibly stuffed him with a few javelins.

The captain himself was holding a crossbow that had been bought with great effort, and his eyes were full of tension.

What is he nervous about? Morris was puzzled, but no one could tell him the answer, because as the distance between the two sides got closer, the sailors on the merchant ship's deck began to exclaim.

Those huge battleships have no oars at all! Compared with a merchant ship, the sides of the other side's ship are almost bare, with only small windows that are opened, and in those small windows are round holes with black holes one after another.

This is a ship type that has never been seen before, and the captain thought in his heart. He turned his head to look at the Garagon Kingdom flag raised on the pole, hoping that this would prevent his merchant ship from being attacked. He has vaguely guessed that the fleet on the opposite side is not a pirate, and not to mention whether it is possible for a pirate to have such a large and strange warship. Just the red eagle flag flying on the warship can tell that this fleet belongs to one. Unknown country.

With a nervous mood, more than ten minutes later, the fleet flying the red eagle flag surrounded the merchant ship. They could even see a large number of soldiers holding unidentified long tubes standing on the decks of the battleships, and they were arranging the black holes. Pointing at the people on the deck of the merchant ship.

The captain was a little frightened. Although he didn't know if those long tubes were new weapons, the faint murderous aura exuding from the soldiers could still be clearly felt. He swallowed, put down the crossbow machine in his hand, and motioned his subordinates to put down too. Weapons, he has thousands of pieces, shouting in Kuyavian lingua franca: "We are a merchant ship from the Kingdom of Garagon, ready to go to the Kingdom of Atlant for commercial trade, and we have the trade issued by the royal family of Garagon. Permit, please let us pass."

His shouts spread to the surrounding battleships and into the ears of the soldiers, but they automatically turned into a large number of garbled words. These soldiers from the Dogro continent did not understand the language of the Kuyawei continent at all. The headed General Hariand frowned and looked around, trying to find someone who could understand what the other person said, but found that everyone around him was as blank as him.

Hariand was a little annoyed to grab the lush long black hair. He pursed his thin lips, thought for a while, and finally ordered the soldiers to board the ship and take control of the merchant ship.

Following his order, the warships that surrounded the merchant ships protruded from the deck of the navigable planks and placed them on the deck of the merchant ship. Amidst the horrified eyes of the merchant sailors, a large number of heavily armed soldiers ran along the planks to the merchant ship. Intent to control this merchant ship.

It was not until the first soldier jumped onto the deck that the shocked sailors of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com reacted. The captain in the lead reacted fiercely and wanted to pick up the crossbow to fight back and defend his property, but he hadn't waited for him yet. Picking up the crossbow, the Roman soldiers who had been monitoring the merchant ship had already aimed their guns at him and pulled the trigger.

The captain was shot and fell to the ground. The sudden gunshots caused commotion and anxiety among the sailors. They wanted to take up weapons to counterattack, but they were shocked by the rifles raised by the Roman soldiers, and could only be frustrated. Dispel this idea and become a prisoner obediently.

The merchant ship without the captain was like a group of dragons without a leader, and was quickly controlled by the Romans. The soldiers found a large amount of cargo and official documents written in Istria script from the cabin. Although they could not understand the content written on it, they still packed all of them. Take it away and hand it to Hariand for inspection.

After the search was over, Harande knew that the ship was a merchant ship. He pursed his lips and cast his eyes on the captain's body lying in a pool of blood, but he did not have the slightest guilt in his heart. In the eyes of the Romans, only the Romans His life is the most noble. If the captain wants to pick up a weapon to attack the Roman soldiers, he will inevitably be killed by the soldiers first.
