When the dawn rays pierced the dark sky, Rod and Caroline woke up from the swaying cabin. The Flying Giant was swaying like a drunkard who had drunk strong alcohol. Inside the cabin, there was a clanging sound on the deck.
It went on and on. The shouts and screams of the crew could be vaguely heard.
"What's going on outside?"
Caroline grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on, curiously asking.
"I don't know, someone seems to be hijacking the ship."
Norscan pirates often appear in the Sea of Claws and the Bay of Kislev, and Rhodes is not surprised by this. However, his luck is extremely bad, and he encounters pirates on his first trip to sea. Plus there is another one beside him.
The existence of witches who cannot cast spells is simply a drag on the existence of the oil bottle.
"You stay here, I'll wake Lawrence up."
Rhodes said, carefully opening the door, and happened to encounter a crew member running through the corridor in a panic.
"what happened?"
Rhodes caught him and asked.
"Devil! The devil is coming!"
The crew member panicked and his face was covered in blood. Before Rhodes could finish asking, he ran away. Demons... Usually the crew of the Empire would call the Norscan pirates demons. Rhodes guessed that nine times out of ten they would not.
Wrong. Just as he was about to knock on Lawrence's room, the bushranger ran over from the corridor.
"Pirates, my lord, are pirates. This ship has been hijacked and the lifeboat is also controlled by pirates."
Obviously, as a master of investigation, Lawrence discovered the danger earlier than Rhodes. When the hijacking just happened, he jumped out of the room and went to the deck to observe the situation.
"how many people?"
Rhodes asked with a frown.
"Twenty or more, or even more."
Lawrence replied breathlessly. Although there were more than fifty people on the ship, they were beaten away by pirates with less than half of them. Rhodes could only sigh that the northern pirates and the civilians of the empire were really...
Two different species…
"What do we do now?"
Lawrence asked, and was surprised to see someone standing behind Rhodes - the Frost Witch he saw on the shore earlier.
"Go out and see where they're taking this ship."
Rhodes sent a message.
Blood flowed down the corridor. Outside, the sound of fighting became more and more obvious. It should be said that it was the sound of massacre. Rhodes' keen hearing could hardly hear the sound of any weapons clashing, only the sound of flesh and blood being torn apart by iron tools.
Soon, they arrived on the deck.
Almost everyone on the ship was slaughtered. The captain and his first mate were being tied up in a corner by a group of bare-armed pirates, shivering. They were covered in blood. And on the deck, those burly
The pirate warriors were dragging corpses one after another into the sea. The blood behind them covered the deck like staggered ribbons.
Seeing that there were three more fish that had slipped through the net, the pirates immediately surrounded them. Sharp spears and swords were pressed against the throats of Rhodes and his group. They spoke their own language, and the leading pirate quickly came over.
He has a fat face like lard, a thick beard extending from the corners of his mouth to his cheeks, and his hair hangs down on his face like straw, stained with fresh blood from the killing. Lawrence's weapons
It was quickly confiscated, and Rhodes' long sword was no exception and was confiscated as a trophy.
The pirates waved their weapons excitedly, as if they had picked up a treasure. In fact, compared to their weapons, Rhodes' sword was indeed of high quality.
Unlike others, perhaps because they felt that the identity of Rhodes and his party was suspicious, the pirates did not immediately execute them. After all, if they kidnapped any noble children, they could get a good ransom. Although Lawrence and Rhodes did not look like
He was expensive, but the clothes he wore were also very attractive. The sharp two-handed sword proved that they had captured at least a knight. However, knights usually have followers, but this prisoner, this man, does not seem to have any followers...
"noble."
"pirate."
The pirate captain walked up to Rhodes with a cold look and shouted in a contemptuous tone. Unexpectedly, Rhodes responded with the same pronunciation. They stared at each other like two wild beasts. However, at first glance, Rhodes seemed to be unarmed.
There is no possibility of resistance.
"Tell me, weak reptile, where do you come from?"
The pirate captain continued to interrogate. Rhodes noticed that their flag emblem was a violent saber-toothed tiger. It was certain that these people were Norscan pirates. Their strong arms were even as thick as the thighs of southern humans, and their violent and predatory character was fully revealed.
.While the pirate captain was interrogating Rhodes, another crew member was chopped into two pieces and thrown into the sea roughly. Like a fish being killed, blood filled the deck under Rhodes' feet, and the thick smell of blood filled his nose.
, disgusting.
But everything Rhodes had ever experienced was far bloodier than this, and such a scene was nothing. He just stood up straight and answered calmly - "Kislev, the Great Wall of the North."
As soon as Rhodes finished speaking, all the pirates who were slaughtering the crew immediately turned their heads and stared at him. Mrs. Kislev and the Norscans were mortal enemies. Mrs. Kislev hated the Norscans for once invading their homeland, and the Norscans had invaded their homeland.
The Skans also hated Mrs. Kislev for massacring their warriors and children. It was not unknown to Rhodes that these two incompatible peoples were incompatible with each other, but he had no intention of compromising with these pirates.
"Kneel down! Little bastard. Tell your life experience, your family, and your territory. Otherwise, I will slit your throat and throw you into the sea to feed the fish."
The pirate captain roared. His face was ferocious, as terrifying as a sea beast.
However, in the middle of the interrogation, the Norscan pirates behind them seemed to have discovered something new. They circled around Caroline and became interested in her fair skin and slightly bulging breasts.
The Norscans are all robbers and rapists. Rhodes knows this very well. Caroline is a frost witch and it is not difficult to deal with three or two pirates. But she promised Rhodes that she would not stay outside Kislev.
Cast a spell.
"Girl, girl, Captain!"
Suddenly, a Norscan pirate shouted in an excited and obscene voice, as if he had discovered a new world.
Rhodes had clearly sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere. Just when the two pirates were about to attack Caroline, Rhodes took action. He roared and knocked away the Norsca pirates beside him. Before the other party could react,
His eyeball was smashed out with one punch. Blood mixed with syrup spurted out of the wretched pirate's eye socket.
The other two pirates who were close immediately pounced on him. They hugged Rhodes like tigers. Rhodes roared angrily and threw the man hugging him to the ground. A sharp ax came from above.
It was struck down, but Rhodes just dodged it nimbly. At the same time, he took out the dagger from the pirate's waist and stabbed him in the head.
In an instant, three Norscans, who were as strong as cattle, fell at the feet of this human noble. Everyone was stunned. The pirate leader immediately drew out his battle ax and slashed at them with a roar.
This wild blow seemed normal to Rhodes. He stepped sideways slightly, and the tomahawk with the skull on it fell against Rhodes' chest. The moment the tomahawk fell, Rhodes roared and clenched his fist to attack.
.The iron-like fist hit the pirate leader hard on the face. In an instant, blood and broken teeth flew out of the Norscan pirate captain's mouth.
The pirate captain was beaten with blood on his face, but he took a step back and immediately counterattacked. He withdrew his tomahawk, and the huge tomahawk drew a wild arc in the air. Rhodes bent to avoid it, and at the same time, his strong fist
He punched him in the abdomen. While the other party screamed, Rhodes had already flashed behind the pirate captain. A pair of arms thicker than the Norscans strangled the pirate leader's neck.
There was only a sound of bones breaking in the air, and the Norscan pirate leader had his neck broken by Rhodes... The body fell on the deck like a dead fish. The whole process happened so fast that people didn't even notice
They saw clearly what was going on. They only knew that their leader was dead. In less than a minute, four pirates fell in the hands of this unarmed northern human. The atmosphere on the field suddenly became extremely tense.
They stared at Rhodes, motionless, with only the sound of beastly breathing and the sound of rolling waves in the air...
