Chapter 35: Get a Pirate Ship
When Bette saw that Ron had guessed the reason, he nodded proudly.
"That's right! In the northern territory, without the permission of the Duke of the Northern Lion, even His Majesty the Emperor wouldn't dare to issue an order for development there! Nor would any fool dare to pioneer that land."
After hearing this, Ron was a little confused: "Since the Duke of the Northern Lion has such influence, why was our territory still attacked?"
Bette smiled wryly: "Our territory was attacked by orcs and bandits. What do you expect the duke to say? That the orcs slipped in under his nose? Or that bandits were running rampant in his territory?"
"Actually, he has already helped us a lot. Every time a cargo ship arrives at the port, it's their army that comes to pick up the goods at the port. As long as we unload the goods, our job is done. Isn't it easy?"
"Even the road in the territory was built by them. The reason was to facilitate the purchase of supplies within the territory. Not only did they build the road for us, but they even fought for a road-building subsidy for us from the empire on the grounds of strategic routes. To be honest, he has really done his best. The rest is up to us."
"If we can't hold onto that territory by our own strength, in a certain sense, it means that we don't deserve to be allies of the Duke of the Northern Lion and don't deserve the benefits brought by that place."
After hearing all this, Ron's eyes instantly became strange.
"I understand! Thank you for telling me this! But, let's first think about how to deal with these pirates! Look, they are about to collide!"
"Relax!" Bette said easily: "They do this every time, thinking they can scare us. In fact, even they themselves know that their ships look big and sturdy, but in fact, they are all old models of ships that we retired and are not very crash-resistant."
"And our ship is not only larger in volume than theirs, but also heavier in tonnage, and has been reinforced around. If there is a real collision, no matter from which direction they hit, maybe we will have some damage, but it will definitely be them who go into the sea to feed the fish."
"The reason why they charge recklessly like this is just to force us to slow down and then approach to board the ship."
"As long as we ignore them and speed up, nothing will happen. Their ships can't even match the speed of our large cargo ships. In a short while, we can leave them far behind."
"So that's how it is!"
Just as Bette said, before the minimum distance of the impending collision, the pirate ship turned at an angle by itself to avoid the impact.
The two ships were only about ten meters apart and passed by quickly.
Ron narrowed his eyes and looked at the passing pirate ship, taking a close look.
It was about 45 meters in length and about 14 meters at the widest point. The style of the hull was very similar to the cargo ship he was on. The front of the hull was very pointed and the rear was wide. It was powered by the wind blowing the sails, along with a huge sterncastle.
After taking a close look like this, Ron was immediately overjoyed and shouted to Bette: "Bette, slow down and let them catch up."
Bette was greatly surprised: "What do you want to do?"
Ron smiled slightly: "Robbery!"
"Rob the pirates?"
...
Under Ron's encouragement, Bette finally lowered the sails and slowed down, and continued to move forward at a low speed.
When the pirate ship saw that the cargo ship lowered the sails, it's not easy for this kind of ship to speed up again once the sails are lowered. So they quickly turned around and accelerated to catch up.
It took more than half an hour to finally catch up with the cargo ship. The two ships were about 5 meters apart and moved forward side by side.
Nearly a hundred pirates on the deck held various weapons. Before boarding the ship, they started shouting crazily, and then they all took out the grappling hooks and threw them onto the cargo ship.
Once hooked, they quickly fixed them and were ready to climb up.
But before they could come up, a black shadow jumped and landed on their ship from the sky.
When the pirates saw that someone actually jumped onto the ship to die voluntarily, they all laughed and raised their blades, shouting and hacking at Ron.
Ron deliberately waited for them to fix the grappling hooks before jumping over, for fear that if he killed everyone later, he wouldn't be able to control this ship.
As soon as he got onto the opponent's deck, Ron didn't say a word and kept activating [Acceleration Fund], cooling the [bet] skill, and crazily reaping lives.
He was originally worried that there might be strong people on the ship and it might not be so easy to fight. But what he didn't expect was that among the nearly a hundred pirates here, they were all ordinary people and not a single capable one.
Every time he drew his sword, he cut the opponent, along with their weapons, in half.
So that after cutting down dozens of people, all the pirates were scared out of their wits. Some people even jumped into the sea directly.
Ron was also scared. These people were all Skill Points! How could he let them jump into the sea?
So he slowed down the pace and couldn't push them too hard.
Fortunately, this was after all a moving ship. Falling into the sea was almost a death sentence, just a later death. So most of the pirates still hid in the cabin.
Ron walked to the side of the ship, looked at the four or five people who jumped into the sea, and felt his heart bleeding.
Looking up to the sky and sighing: "My Skill Points!"
But they all jumped into the sea. What could he do?
He couldn't jump down to chase after these few people!
Really helpless, Ron could only endure the heartache, slowly walked into the cabin, looking for the remaining dozens of people, and was determined that not one could be missing!
In order to prevent them from running around, after entering, he deliberately locked the cabin door and started a game of cat and mouse.
In this dim cabin, although the vision was not good, Ron could sense the hiding position of each person without using his eyes!
"Little cuties, have you hidden well? I'm coming!"
Ron dragged his sword on the floor, and from time to time hit various obstacles, making a "clang clang clang" sound.
"Clang clang clang!"
"Little cutie, so you are here."
With a smile on his face, Ron, while smiling, thrust his sword into a pile of debris.
"Puchi!" That was the sound of a metal sword piercing into the flesh. Immediately, a scream rang out, and then blood gushed out from inside.
Ron smiled and pulled out the long sword, continued to gently tap the floor with the sword, and slowly moved forward to look for the prey.
"Clang clang clang!"
"Oh! Little cutie, your little feet are showing from behind the door!"
"Puchi!"
"Clang clang clang!"
"Little cutie, you are too careless. Look, your clothes are showing."
"Puchi!"
"Clang clang clang!"
"Little cutie, how long haven't you taken a bath? Through such a thick blanket, I can still smell the stench on you."
"Puchi!"
"Clang clang clang!"
"Little cutie..."
...
The devilish rhythm kept ringing. Under Ron's endless torture, the last dozen or so people actually surrendered voluntarily.
Ron agreed without thinking and brought them to the deck, and then executed them one by one.
Because he was afraid that they would jump into the sea and escape, causing irreparable losses.
So before the execution, Ron first cut off all their legs, and then activated the [bet] skill and executed them slowly.
So that the entire deck was full of broken limbs, blood and brain matter flowing everywhere, and pieces of flesh and intestines sliding around, like a scene from hell.
Of course, others all surrendered and Ron agreed, but still executed them. It wasn't that Ron didn't keep his word. Because Ron never intended to let them go from the beginning to the end.
The reason for the execution on the deck was just that Ron thought that if they died in the cabin, not only would he have to ask someone to help move the bodies out, but also deal with the blood stains, which would be very troublesome!
He was also planning to bring this ship to the territory.
When the time comes, drag the ship ashore, so the problem of housing will be solved, and the problem of storing supplies will also be solved. Perfect!
After finishing everything, Ron shouted to Bette to ask him to send someone down to help.
When Bette's guardian knight Ricks, drunk, jumped onto the pirate ship, he found that Ron was throwing the bodies into the sea.
"Uh! You've solved everything. Why did you call me down?"
Ron was also confused, so he looked up and shouted to Bette: "I asked you to send some people down to help clean up the bodies. Why did you send a drunkard down?"
"And send a few more people down to fix this ship. I'm going to drag it to the territory!"
Everyone from "Lucky Sailor" stood by the ship's railing, looking at everything, their eyes full of awe and speechless, including Lir.
Today, they felt that they had really opened their eyes!
