Ladislaus watched as Boss Sirica took the lead and chased towards the cabin. He walked up to the tied up Captain Jack and asked, "Why are there so few slaves on the ship?" His attitude was as natural and leisurely as that of a real shipowner.

Captain Jack immediately started negotiating: "Dear mage, I am Jack, the captain of the White Onyx. The owner of this ship is the Archbishop of Marseille, Kingdom of France. He is a figure who can speak in front of His Majesty the King of France. In this Siena

Republic, the words of our shipowner are also very weighty. On this trip, all our cargo was requisitioned by the Qiu Ba on Corsica. There is really no oil and water. There is an eight hundred taler note in my captain's cabin.

Just take the registered money order. You are doing this worthless business here. If our master really invites local high-level officials, you will also be in trouble. I will just sail the ship back to Marseille and this misunderstanding will be cleared up.

It has happened, and we can all make a fortune together in the future. Now His Majesty Francois's army is marching south, and he is very hungry for talents. If a powerful mage like you is recommended by my master to serve in the army, you may be able to become rich and wealthy.

"

What a Captain Jack, still trying to survive in such a situation.

It's a pity that Ladislaus is not a local gang of robbers.

There really isn't much cargo in the cargo hold right now, and although this ship is of high value, there is no way for ordinary bandit gangs to sell such a large ship.

And taking the opportunity of a French archbishop, in the context of France's march into the Apennine Peninsula, it must be a great opportunity for a bandit leader. If he can achieve military exploits, he might transform from a bandit to a noble.

The latest group of emerging families on the Apennine Peninsula were founded by the heroes who took advantage of the last French invasion.

But this meant nothing to Ladislaus. He was the Archbishop. What could an Archbishop from a hostile camp do to help him?

After Captain Jack put forward the conditions, he waited for a long time but received no response. When he bravely raised his head, he only saw Ladislaus and Anna looking at the sea, paying no attention to him.

The Spanish fleet and the Ligurian fleet at sea have not yet completely decided the winner.

The Spanish galleon Clark is engaging in a close battle against a Ligurian boat. It had previously destroyed an enemy ship with a trebuchet. Now the Ligurian sailboat, which is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers and uses a small sailboat, looks like the same.

It is certain that everything is over. Fireball can even be seen in the battle on the deck. It should be that there is a mage on board the Spanish battleship.

However, the situation was worse for its wing ship. The giant Spanish sailboat, which was besieged by four enemy ships, had been set on fire by the raging fire. Countless Spanish sailors were either in the fire or struggling in the water.

Ladislaus and Anna both watched the battle between their hometown fleet and their current boss's fleet with mixed emotions. Most of the Ligurian battleships, Ladislaus, could even be named, as they were the basis of the Doria family.

After the Clark's schooner dealt with an enemy ship, it moved closer to its wing ship and tried to rescue the crew members who fell into the water.

While it was loading the drowned men, the remaining five ships of the Ligurian fleet seemed to want to gather together and besiege again.

However, because one ship had been damaged in the exchange of fire at the beginning of the battle and did not arrive at the scheduled location in time, the Spanish captain keenly grasped this weakness and, after rescuing more than a dozen people who fell into the water, headed in the direction of the ship.

Breakout.

Although the injured Ligurian battleship was in a disadvantageous position, it still bravely fired at the Clark galleon, trying to give other friendly ships a chance to encircle it.

However, Clark's schooner no longer attempted to shoot at each other this time. All sailors stood in their respective fighting positions according to the orders of the first mate and second mate, adjusting the sail direction according to the wind direction as quickly as possible, trying to obtain the maximum speed.

The Spanish captain decided not to use a trebuchet but to use a ram to determine the outcome.

In order to intercept and make full use of the giant crossbows on the flanks, the Ligurian ship was crossing the Spanish Clark's ship at the twelve o'clock position. However, if the Ligurian ship immediately started to accelerate at this time, it was still very likely that it could get out of the way and collide.

However, in order to keep this capital ship that symbolized the national power and majesty of the Kingdom of Spain, the Ligurian captain was determined to use his own hull to block the enemy's escape route.

He gave the order with the determination to die. Not only did he not escape, but he cut into the route of Clark's ship, trying to give friendly ships a chance to besieged.

Once the Clark's galleon loses its maneuverability, it is likely to be brutally attacked.

However, the battleship is simply too powerful.

The tonnage of Clark's galleon was more than ten times that of the medium-sized ship with sails and oars, and its length was three times. With this blow, the Ligurian ship was immediately opened with a large hole that almost ran across the hull.

After the impact, the Clark's schooner retreated slightly for a distance, and then accelerated again with full sail, cutting the sail and oars in half like scissors, and forced its way through the patch of broken boards and drowned crew members.

waters, and sailed away under the watchful eyes of several Ligurian ships.

This short retreat and acceleration reflects the extraordinary skills and unparalleled teamwork of Spain from officers to sailors, and it is worthy of being the overlord of the Seven Seas today.

The Ligurian fleet commander did not continue to order the pursuit and began to salvage the drowned crew members on the sea.

In this battle, Spain lost 280 tons of giant sail oars and used one ship, and Liguria lost 90 tons of medium-sized oars and used three ships. It should be said that it was a draw overall.

And after all, the Spaniards left the battlefield, and the Ligurian fleet controlled the battlefield and could salvage the drowned crew and reduce losses. It can still be regarded as a tragic victory.

However, Clark's galleon made a brave attack in the end, which was so powerful that it left a deep impression on Ladislaus and his party who were watching the battle on the shore.

So when they saw the giant ship breaking out of the siege and evacuating safely, they cheered. Ladislaus raised his arms and shouted: "Long live the Holy Roman Empire, long live the Kingdom of Spain, long live His Majesty Emperor Charles."

The insurance team members also echoed the slogans, led by their captain.

Hearing the slogan shouted by Ladislaus, Captain Jack felt that something was wrong. How could ordinary bandits cheer for the emperor so sincerely?

Captain Jack, realizing that he was in the hands of France's enemies, immediately joined in the cheers.

Ladislaus lowered his head and looked at Captain Jack who was cheering for the emperor. He was quite interested in his shamelessness and asked, "Where are you from?"

"I am a Sicilian, a subject of the emperor, and my relationship with the Archbishop of France is just an employment relationship. I have always supported the great warlock royal family." Captain Jack hurriedly cleaned himself up.

"You traitor, I opposed it when the archbishop chose you to be the captain. Trash dog, you Sicilians are all trash."

The furious first mate is a member of the family who beat the bishop. He is still very young and lacks experience and ability. The bishop is not confident about entrusting his most important property to him, but he still relies on him to balance Captain Jack. Sometimes loyalty and ability really matter.

It's hard to choose.

During this time, several cavalrymen who were guerrillas also came back with more than a dozen prisoners.

The few remaining sailors in the cabin were also knocked over and thrown out one by one by Sirica boss, and then they were swarmed by the insurance team and tied up.

There are about thirty prisoners here, and due to the balancing strategy of the Bishop of Marseille, half are French and half are Sicilian.

They originally had their own small groups, and there were always conflicts and frictions on weekdays. Today, they completely broke out under pressure.

Supporters of the captain and first mate fought with their hands and feet tied.

This sight made Ladislaus and his gang laugh happily. Although the process of dividing the spoils greatly hurt their feelings, at least for this moment, victory belonged to everyone.

On the beach at night, some people are happy and some are sad.
