Chapter 1,369 Dark Cross! Portuguese Exploration Code
"Bang! Bang!..."
"Kill! Kill the natives!..."
"Bang!…"
"ah!…"
The dim and sparse sunlight penetrated through the layers of green leaves of the forest and fell on the loose earth, forming crescent-like light spots. The sound of the water of the Orinoco River sang lowly in the distance, and the gurgling of blood flowing into the earth was
Accompanying the dying wail, it disperses into the invisible sky.
When Bruno heard the gunfire and came for emergency support from the big ship, what he saw was this scene. A dozen naked natives were lying dead on the ground, and several sailors were fighting for the shell necklaces found on the natives.
And Knight Silvera returned from the forest with his bloody knight's cross dagger hanging down from his face.
"Ha! These despicable natives run very fast! Just like the monkeys in the forest, they disappear in a blink of an eye..."
"Knight Silvera! Should you explain what just happened?!"
Bruno looked at the fallen corpses of the natives with a very ugly expression on his face. He didn't care about the lives of these natives, but he felt extremely annoyed that Knight Silvera acted without permission!
"Witness the Lord! We sailed along the coast for more than ten days, and finally met a group of natives who were able to ask for some local information... But you took the sailors and killed them all?!..."
"Uh...Captain Bruno...this group of natives approached quietly, holding bows and arrows and strange long barrels in their hands. They looked like they were not good people! Before they attacked us, I reacted immediately and killed them first.
Get rid of it! Pope Urban has taught you that yellow-skinned pagans like this are just like the Moors across the sea. The more you kill, the better. Killing is the only way to save!…”
Seeing Silvera's meaningless explanation, Bruno's chest rose with anger. Obviously, these natives did not attack first, and perhaps had no hostile intentions at all. But when Silvera's head became hot, he threw the natives away
He regarded the enemy as an enemy and launched a reckless attack without even consulting his captain for instructions beforehand...
"Damn it! Silveira, you idiot! Who asked you to attack the natives first?... You have neither found out whether there is a powerful tribe behind these natives that may take revenge... nor have you
Seeing the shining wealth of the natives, but without bringing any benefits to the fleet, you just kill for the sake of killing!… You are an arrogant wild boar who is reckless to the extreme!…”
"Ah?! Foda-se! Bruno, how dare you insult me? I am the son of a baron, and you are just..."
"Foda-se! It's you I'm scolding! Kneel down!..."
Bruno made a "clang" sound, pulled out the stabbing sword from his waist, and before Silvera could react, he put it on the opponent's neck. Silvera was shocked all over, and still struggled to resist... Bosun Haroldo
He took two steps forward, held down Silvera's shoulders, and then kicked the opponent's leg hard, knocking the opponent to his knees!
"Silveira, I'm going to teach you a lesson today! Remember it! In terms of position, I am the captain of the fleet, and you are just my deputy, an adjutant who must obey my orders! In terms of title,
, I am a royal knight conferred by His Majesty himself, and you are just the son of a baron, a bastard who has no inheritance rights and is not of high rank!…
"Lastly, let's talk about relationships. I am the exploration captain personally appointed by Controller Nuno, and I have personally listened to His Majesty's instructions! And you? You are just a wild dog with no connections, no master, and barking everywhere!..."
"You have to remember! It is I, Ser Bruno Kang, who is responsible for the entire fleet, to the Lord and His Majesty! And you, Knight Silvera, you only have to be responsible to me! You must obey me as captain.
Order!"
"If you disobey my orders, cause trouble wantonly, and ruin His Majesty's important task of contacting the Native Kingdom and opening up a new sea route... I will kill you directly. When I return, I will report to Your Majesty, report back to Controller Nuno, and then notify your Baron father.
There will be no guilt! Killing you will be in vain!...Do you understand?!..."
Facing Bruno's merciless reprimand, facing this murderous warning, feeling the cold edge of the sword on his neck... Knight Silvera's face turned green and white, and his knees became weak. He said for a long time
Speechless.
As an aristocratic captain who graduated from the Navigation Academy, he never thought that massacring pagan natives would be a crime. After all, when the Portuguese Kingdom opened up the southern continent, the goods and gold that the ships continued to transport back were not always like this.
Did you get it?
But Bruno held on to this point, pressed him with His Majesty's mission, and taught him a harsh lesson... He really couldn't argue with it. According to the teachings of the Navigation Academy, the captains in the fleet must clearly define strict subordinates.
Like in every ship, the captain is the king of all crew members.
If Bruno has a weak temper, or cares about his background, and he is given equal rights as captain, and equal rights to the subsequent distribution of credit, that is his own ability! But if the other party strictly enforces the law and uses his fault as an excuse to use it as a knife,
Putting it on his neck and forcing him to bow his head and admit his mistake...he had no choice but to swallow his anger and obey the other party's leadership!
"It's...Captain Bruno..."
"Call me the honorable Ser Bruno Kang!"
"...Yes! Dear Sir Bruno Kang! I understand your instructions..."
"Do you really understand?! Then tell me, what should I do next time I meet a native?!..."
"...According to the teachings of the Navigation Academy, first send small gifts to establish a good relationship with the natives. Then make inquiries to find out if there are any powerful tribes behind them...Finally, inquire carefully to see if they have anything.
Valuable property to boost the morale of the crew..."
Silveira lowered his head, gritting his teeth secretly in his heart, but his face showed obedience that knew the current affairs. He honestly answered the standard response method based on the experience summarized by Portuguese navigation exploration.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "When the strength is insufficient, do not offend the powerful tribe! Do not carry out reckless plundering before you are ready to set off! And when it is confirmed that the native tribe has no background and has valuable
After collecting the belongings, we must reach an agreement among the fleet to carry out decisive raids and killings. Try to leave no survivors alive! ... and then set fire to burn the traces afterwards, try to prevent the news from leaking, or delay the time for the news to leak. At the same time,
Set sail and leave as soon as possible. Finally, distribute the spoils fairly, do not cause internal strife in the fleet, and leave enough to hand over to the kingdom..."
“The Lord protects us! For the glory of the Lord, we obtain the wealth and rewards promised by the Lord. And all sins against the heretics will be forgiven by the Pope’s edict!…”
"Very good! Silvera, remember everything you carry! Always be cautious and sober!..."
After hearing the satisfactory reply, Bruno nodded. He looked at the adjutant who was kneeling with his head bowed, and slowly withdrew the threatening sword. At this moment, he imitated Captain Diogo in his memory, leaving an extremely serious warning.
"Blessed Mother! The Castilians have already suffered a big loss here...According to their intelligence, there is a savage and powerful tribe, or a savage and powerful native kingdom, active on the big islands in this area.
…And this native kingdom is connected to the East, and it is also a dangerous target that we must contact in order to open up a new route to the East!…”
"For this powerful Aboriginal kingdom, you must be cautious, show enough goodwill and respect, and don't do anything indiscriminately! Just like the Songhai Aboriginal Kingdom and the Congo Aboriginal Kingdom that the kingdom encountered on the west side of the southern continent
Same respect!…”
"Remember! The powerful native kingdom is the wolf that can come to the table and eat with us...but only the weak and powerless native tribes are the meat for us to eat!..."
After warning Silvera, who lowered his head, Bruno looked around again and ordered the awed sailors.
"The Lord is witness! Everyone has heard what I said! When I first came into contact with the natives, they all smiled at me! And if an accident occurs and I really take action, I must be fierce and decisive, and don't leave any traces.
A living escapee!…”
"Go! Check all the lying down natives! Kill those who are not dead and throw them all into the sea to feed the fish!..."
"After packing up, hurry up and get on the boat! We will set off tonight and will not stay here longer! May the Lord bless you!..."
“Yes!…God bless you!…”
Neat prayers sounded in the dense rain forest. This voice was extremely pious, like some kind of special announcement, and it stirred up a flock of birds.
Asuka stared at the seaside, looking at the blue and white crosses flying on the two Portuguese sailing ships, and blinked in confusion. It could not see clearly the "flowers" on the cross pattern, but it could clearly see that behind the flag,
They are low and dark clouds, signs of an approaching rainstorm. The clouds are very dark, very dark, and the cross of darkness has begun to arrive from this day!…
