Volume Six, Chapter 17, Surrender
"It has been hiding in the sea, and the blocking here is weak, in fact, to attract you over?" Xia Zuo couldn't believe it. As for? Do more than 100 warships need to use this method to deal with two pirate ships?
Tommy remained silent and looked at the special heavy cruiser hundreds of meters away. He knew in his heart that he could not get rid of it. The special heavy cruiser was not comparable to the speed, armor, or artillery fire. It was a few levels behind, and the thirteen primary cruisers would soon surround him.
"Alia, tell them to throw all the gold coins on the merchant ship into the sea and spread them out. They can't just pick up the benefits for no reason." Tommy ordered.
"Okay!" Alia turned into black streaming light, flew to the armed merchant ship behind, and walked into the cabin.
"What gold coins?" Xia Zuo asked with a frown.
"It was me who recruited people to buy sea ships. I thought I could raise a pirate fleet again when I arrived at Emerald Island, but I didn't expect..." Tommy's face looked very ugly, and the fat on her face was jumping with pain.
"How many gold coins?" Xia Zuo couldn't help asking, looking at Tommy's face.
"One and two million, forty tons in total!" Tommy said, his throat seemed a little dry.
"I-Fuck!" Xia Zuo couldn't help but swear. Tommy actually loaded forty tons of gold on the armed merchant ship, and he had never said it!
How much capital does a famous pirate have? It has always been a puzzle. They will hide gold, silver and jewelry they snatched from secrets everywhere. How much money does a super pirate leader like Tommy have? I guess no one will know except Alia, but one million gold coins are missing. It is also painful enough!
Hurry!
Just as Shazzo was talking to Tommy, a pirate sailor from the armed merchant ship behind him began to move boxes out of the cabin, opened the full amount of gold coins, and poured them into the sea.
It’s really gold coins, not gold tickets. Emerald Island doesn’t recognize gold tickets at all. Most Pirate Ports are the same, and they only recognize real gold coins!
Pirates are a profession that puts their heads on their belts to make a living. The laws of various countries are surprisingly consistent. Any pirate will be hanged after being caught!
So they often do very extreme things. They dump gold coins into the sea. Such luxurious things are probably only pirates who are in desperate situations.
"Okay!" Alia flew back to Tommy and said.
Tommy looked at the special heavy cruiser that was getting closer and closer, then looked at Xia Zuo again, patted Xia Zuo on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I hope you can escape this disaster!"
"I hope too!" Xia Zuo said with a crooked mouth. He looked at Tommy and nodded, "Let's go!"
Tommy nodded, looked at Alia, and smiled: "Dear, are you okay?"
"Of course!" Alia smiled slightly, hugged Tommy's waist, turned into black streaming light, and soared into the sky.
Pirates have always been hailed as the least friendly group. Don’t say that they die for the sake of their brothers. They are all a group of guys who burn, kill, loot for money. This is the rule at sea. If you have the ability to escape, just run away!
Alia took Tommy away, and dozens of sailors on the armed merchant ship were still dumping gold coins. They all had the same thoughts. The things they were about to lose would not allow the British Empire to get them smoothly. If you want gold coins, go to the sea to find them!
The armed merchant ship was still cruising, but it was spinning around so that the gold coins could be scattered well. However, the Coast Gun No. 5 had stopped, and a pirate climbed onto the mast and hung up the white flag!
Surrender! Without the ability to resist, you can only surrender!
Xia Zuo was completely depressed and seemed to be arrested again. He was a prison escaper in the third prison and must be sent to the British City for trial. I don’t know how to die.
For the first time in his life, Xia Zuo regretted so much. What he regretted was not his journey with Tommy, but... why didn't he learn to swim well???
If he could swim in the sea, he could jump into the sea, swim, and persist for a while, and perhaps he could meet passing merchant ships and be saved.
The heavy cruiser approached the Coast Guard No. 5 within 100 meters and slowly stopped. In the rear, thirteen primary cruisers also surrounded the two pirate ships completely. In the sky, two dragon knights flew from afar, constantly hovering!
"Sir, they surrender!" On the front deck of the heavy cruiser, the adjutant said respectfully to the commander Viscount Kenneth.
Viscount Kenneth is only 35 years old and has the strength of a junior fighter. The title is not a family inheritance, but comes from military achievements. As one of the best commanders of the North Sea Fleet, Kenneth was given the title of viscount by the Queen at the age of 32. In the British Empire, there have always been two major aristocratic factions, namely the old aristocrat and the new aristocrat. Kenneth is the leader of the young generation of the new aristocrats.
"The dark wizard and the pirate Tommy have escaped. I didn't expect it to be so straightforward. The pirates are indeed a group of ruthless and unrighteous messes." Kenneth sorted out his somewhat messy hair, and there was a faint sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.
On the two pirate ships, pirates kept jumping off the ship and diving around. Pirates would not give up their lives easily. Although they could not meet merchant ships on this sea, they would still die, but there was still a glimmer of hope.
"Wow!" After saying that, Kenneth slowly pulled out the command knife from his waist and pointed the tip of the knife towards the sky.
The trolleyers on the ship quickly tapped a complex flag verb and passed it in turn. Kenneth's silent command reached every corner of the heavy cruiser. The helmman twisted the helm and the entire special heavy cruiser slowly moved over, the cannon holes were all opened, and a black steel cannon was poked out.
"Damn it, they won't accept surrender!" The terrifying screams came from the Coast Gun No. 5, and all the pirates who did not jump into the sea were panicked.
"Xia Zuo, Xia Zuo!" On the deck, Anthony looked around and shouted, but did not see Xia Zuo.
On the first floor of the cabin, the captain's lounge.
"What's wrong with it outside? Have you started fighting?" Miranda asked in panic while sitting on the bed. The previous artillery fire caused the entire ship to vibrate violently. She could judge the opponent's fire power by the sound of the artillery fire. The ship was no match at all.
"It's all over. We are surrounded and surrendered. We will be captured and hanged!" Xia Zuo said with his head tilted, shrugging his shoulders, and did not seem to have much concern about his future fate.
"Catch it back? Why is this happening?" Miranda became even more panicked.
"Shh, don't worry too much. Being caught does not mean there is no way out. Put on your clothes, try to make yourself dirty, and then follow me. As long as we are locked up together, I may save you..." Xia Zuo smiled slightly.
In fact, Xia Zuo is still sure. He can't escape the strict places like the Third Prison alone, but it may not be possible in other places. On the way to England, he must pass through many cities. The places where Xia Zuo is detained must be as strong as the Third Prison.
There are too many opportunities to escape. What Xia Zuo relies on is his strong physical strength. Forbidden handcuffs are useless to him. He really has a great chance of escaping. The reason why he is willing to be arrested is just to take a boat to return to land.
"Can you get out of bed?" Seeing Miranda being a little stunned after hearing what she said, Xia Zuo said again.
Miranda nodded. After taking something, the efficacy of the medicine has been fully utilized, and her illness has been mostly cured.
"Get dressed quickly, they should board the ship immediately!" Xia Zuo pointed to the closet and said, then got up and took a few steps forward, facing away from the big bed, and looked at the oil paintings on the wall.
Miranda knew she could not wait any longer. If she was caught naked, she would definitely be insulted, so she immediately lifted the quilt, glanced at Xia Zuo, who was facing her back, walked to the closet naked, and took out the men's clothes from it.
"Xia Zuo!Xia Zuo!"Xia Zuo suddenly heard Anthony's loud shout.
"What's wrong?" Xia Zuo frowned and shouted loudly. Because the wooden hull has limited sound insulation ability, the sound can be heard.
"Where are you? Run!"
"What? What did you say?"
"Run!"
Bang!bang!bang!bang!bang!bang!bang!bang!
Xia Zuo frowned and was about to ask again, but suddenly, the sound of artillery fire shook the sky, and Xia Zuo widened his eyes in horror.
Boom! Crack~ Crash!
The stopped Coast Gun No. 5 became the target of artillery practice, and suddenly bloomed on all sides, with the deck shattering layer by layer...
Chapter completed!
