Chapter 167: Entering the Port

After hearing Anvil's words, the room fell into a brief silence. Immediately afterwards, Clematis and Claudia immediately turned their heads and scolded: "Shut your crow's mouth! ”

"Anvil, do you have any plans to sue the dead full-time in the future?" Even Barrett couldn't help but laugh. After all, taunting is not very useful in games. What's more, the anvil was not a mockery just now, but just a reflection of his talent in the cold.

After setting the tone, players who didn't intend to let their wallets bleed further stayed in the port area and waited quietly for the arrival of armed merchant ships. As the only urban area that has not received the baptism of war, the port's buildings are intertwined with lanes and wefts, dividing them into small ones. Fortunately, thanks to good planning, both old and new buildings are in good order.

Even in the aftermath of the war, the low-end taverns for seafarers were still a scene of sailors. There are a variety of clichΓ©s about 'navigators'. Nine out of ten of them are liars, and the remaining one is often an exaggeration. Don't look at the many sailors sitting around them, as if listening to something. But in fact, those guys with empty pockets are just looking for a tool to pass the time.

The enemy troops, who managed to be stopped a few hundred meters away, seemed to them to be far away. When you look at it at night, you can see the all-night firelight, which seems to have become a festival firework. As for the heavily armed soldiers who came by boat, and the various military supplies that were constantly unloaded, they were just a part of daily life.

"Most of the so-called sea boys are just a group of guys who are drunk and drunk!" Barrett's previous introduction to his companions. In the past, players also knew something, but they were by no means as profound as the one they had seen in these days. Idle and bored players, since they are not going to engage in any more night activities. Naturally, I can only keep my eyes on the things that pass the time like watching the sea - like a group of old grandfathers and grandmothers who have nothing to do.

The blue waves were white with the wind, and the waves that should have been snow-white rushed towards the shore one after another, and finally collided with the stone embankment of the harbor and splashed crystal water droplets - but unfortunately this scene in the minds of the players has become the history that has passed with the wind. The water near the pier looks uncomfortable, with all kinds of garbage floating everywhere and a faint layer of oil slick. If it weren't for the waves that rose from time to time at that time. It's like a pool of stagnant water.

Economic development inevitably places a burden on the surrounding natural environment. Although the self-purification capacity of seawater is strong, if it is confined to a certain area, it can easily exceed the load. Thankfully, the tide spread the foul water, so players didn't smell any disgusting putrefaction.

In the midst of all the noise, the hustle and bustle, and the drunken dream, a towering mast suddenly cut through the clear straight line at the junction of sea and sky. Immediately after that, the surface of the sea, which was like golden fish scales reflecting a glittering and jumping light, was torn open by the appearance of shadows. As the image of a three-masted galleon became more and more apparent, its flag fluttering in the wind immediately came into the cat's sight.

Lalu sitting on the roof looking up. Then he jumped directly onto the balcony. At the same time, he opened his voice and shouted, "Barrett! Barrett! We've been waiting for the ship to come! ”

The sound was so loud that it instantly permeated the entire hotel. The players who got the news immediately dressed up as fast as they could, and then rushed to the docks. Looking at the increasingly clear hull, Barrett had a smile on his face: "It's actually the "Silver Sword Brave"!" ”

"The Silver Sword Brave? Doesn't that sound like the name of a merchant ship? Rielly, who was on the side, touched her chin and asked.

Barrett, who was in a good mood, immediately explained: "That's the frigate of the Boreham Navy!" Although it is only a medium-sized ship, its combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of ordinary armed merchant ships. ”

"Even warships have been dispatched, and it looks like Boreham's support for the Seven Cities Alliance is really strong." Clematis then let out such an emotion.

As time passed, the Silver Sword Brave dragged the big burden behind it. Just like that, they swayed towards the dock. And in his later it's an old friend of the people of Walkerson, the 'Lady of Passion', armed merchant ships. It also dragged a 'wounded ship' with a broken mast moving slowly.

At this moment, a certain sailor who was rolling a barrel on the dock looked at the "Silver Sword Brave" coming from afar and let out such an exclamation. "Look, everyone. Is it the sail of the legendary 'Berserker' Victor Castles? ”

But with this exclamation, the work at hand stopped, and then the barrel that had been rolling went out of control. The one who came to his senses had to hurry up and hurry up to catch up with the goods he was carrying.

His voice also alarmed the porters beside him who had not paid attention to the surface of the sea. One by one, they all put down what they were doing and stopped. None of these people's attention was on the Silversword Brave, a three-masted battleship of the Cadillac type. It was the large, badly damaged oarsail behind it.

"Hey! John, there are more large galleys, how can you be sure that it is the ship of 'Berserker' Castles? Behind the sailor who shouted first. Immediately, someone tapped him on the shoulder and asked.

The middle-aged man who was patted on the shoulder shouted loudly without looking back: "Didn't you see the head hanging on the bow of the boat?" When I was on the St. Annu, I fought off an attack by the Hammer of Thunder led by the Berserker. On that occasion I met Victor Castles himself. And don't patronize the theater! Hurry up and help stop this damn barrel for me. ”

Although it could be seen that he was a little angry because of his previous judgment. But he is obviously more concerned about his current livelihood. Barrett, who was not far away, noticed the commotion at the same time, and naturally inevitably heard their words. Then he touched his chin: "Look at this way, our guests have gained a lot at sea!" ”

With the news that 'Berserker' Castles might have been killed, the docks in the harbor were boiling. The sailors and porters stopped their work and joined the onlookers in the triumphant heroes.

"Let me see! Let me see! A group of sailors scrambled to get to the side of the ship. Then, while leaning out half of his body, he craned his neck to look out at the sea outside the harbor. Apparently on the shore

The Cadillac sailboat does have a hideous human head hanging from the foremast. This is the "treatment" that only pirate captains can enjoy. In order to warn all potential molecules of the price they need to pay.

In the eyes of most lords, any sailor is a potential pirate reserve. Because piracy has a long history, it can be said that there are ships that can travel on the sea, and there are pirates. The repression, fear and oppression of the sailors on board were also important reasons for the rebellion of the sailors.

Unfortunately, even if the lords were able to suppress the ships under their own name, they could not criticize the ships of the other chambers of commerce. The big men could only suppress the rebellious minds of the sailors with greater fear. Hanging sails is one of the propaganda tactics.

"That head is shriveled and out of shape. How can you be sure that it's 'Berserker' Castles! It won't be just because of the beard! Immediately, there was an objection from the crowd. Barrett, who also heard this, immediately pricked up his ears

"Isn't the 'X' scar on the bridge of his nose and the spiral hair his best signature? Especially the latter, I don't think other pirates would dare to learn his tricks. This is a very serious provocation among pirates. It is said that he has had several serious conflicts with other pirates over this kind of thing. More than a dozen people have died for this. Add to that his big galley, do you think there's anything else wrong? "This middle-aged man named 'John' seems to know a lot about this kind of thing!

"If this is the villain's death, shouldn't we go out for a drink in the evening?" Someone in the crowd immediately proposed.

As soon as the words fell, someone next to the guy immediately revealed his old bottom: "You didn't want to go out for a drink to celebrate that night." It doesn't matter if it's 'Berserker' Castles! ”

"If I'm right, I'll give you all of this month's wages tonight and invite you to drink." As soon as John's words fell, the group of sailors, who were already noisy, immediately fell silent.

"I said John, it doesn't matter if your previous guess was wrong. Is it necessary? It was the boatswain who had taken care of him all this time. He didn't want his sailors to be listless for the next few months because of the spur of the moment. That would be too much of an inefficient, and it would make him seem incompetent as a boatswain.

"Nope! My brother was killed in that attack against the Hammer of Thunder. If 'Berserker' Castles is really dead this time. I really should ask you to celebrate. As John spoke, tears left on the middle-aged man's weather-beaten face.

"If things do come to an end, you should be happy, right?" Seeing this, the boatswain immediately enlightened the other party, "We didn't know that you had faced a ferocious enemy like 'Berserker' Castles. You should tell us a good talk about it when we have a drink! ”

It is precisely because of this change that before the "Silver Sword Brave" entered the port, it was already crowded with people outside the special dock where it needed to dock. Fortunately, the identity of this ship is somewhat special. Therefore, at the junction between the dock and the port, there are soldiers who are specially guarded.

At the same time, thanks to the great military power of Boreham during this time, only 12 guards stopped the onlookers in front of them dozens of times their size. Still let those who are shirtless. Most of the rude sailors did not dare to cross the thunder pool for half a step.

Captain Danny Evans on the Silver Sword Warrior was on the stern deck of the battleship, looking at the crowded docks. He smiled wryly at the deputy next to him and said, "Now we are really famous." ”

"Anyway, we came back with such a big trophy, even if we wanted to hide it, we couldn't hide it! Besides, this is not our home in Boreham, and if we want to sell those things, I feel that I can't get around the relationship in the town hall. At that time, it won't take three days for the entire Seven Cities Alliance to know the news. Anyway, this 'berserker' Castles is just a pirate on the surface, and he is unlucky to meet us. There will be no unnecessary diplomatic disputes. Captain Neam Reedes explained.

Any soldier longs for the triumph of victory. Being warmly welcomed when the class teacher returns to the court will make them feel very satisfied psychologically. The soldier's sense of honor was most perfectly rewarded at this moment.

So what these Navy personnel did was not unreasonable. So Danny Evans, as the captain of the ship, did not stop his sailors from acting according to tradition. At such a time, even if he forced it down with the majesty of his own captain, it would not necessarily be a good thing. Anyway, as Captain Neuam Reedes said. As long as it doesn't cause any diplomatic disputes, the battle on the sea Boreham Collar is not afraid of others.

Looking at the growing crowd in the harbor, Barrett's expression was slightly shocked: "But the reputation of this 'berserker' is also a little too much!" I actually lured out all the drunks who were drinking in the tavern. ”

As time went on, word spread that 'Berserker' Castles might be killed, not just the seafarers loitering on the docks or on sailboats. Even in the tavern, there are people who dangle the wall and come out to see what is going on. Obviously, this pirate captain of the North Sea must have done something earth-shattering. Otherwise, it would not have attracted such widespread attention among seafarers.

"Barrett, don't you know what that 'Berserker' Castles did before?" Claudia on the side felt a little incredible.

Barrett, who turned around, scratched his hair: "What the hell gave you the illusion that I should know about this!" Do we usually have anything to do with those guys? Need to collect information about them? Or make them the target of a bounty? (To be continued.) )

PS: Modify the wording. Thanks to the "Prophet Chariot", "Chen Tianxin" and "Tangeerzi1" for their big monthly passes. At the same time, I would like to thank "Cloud Moon 1981" and "Altar Fat Biao" for their great rewards.
