Just when Juliana was desperate and resigned to her fate, she didn't realize that a man who would make major changes in her life was slowly approaching her.
There are frequent fleets of merchant ships and cargo ships on the sea, carrying almost all kinds of ships loaded with the most valuable cargo in the world. The prosperity of trade has also brought another by-product - piracy.
They live by plundering and fighting all day long, and are divided into various groups. Whoever has the strongest robbery power will be the overlord of the Caribbean.
In people's minds, most pirates are known for their ferocity. Although the Conquerors of the Sea are the most powerful, they are not ferocious. Never harming those who do not resist is one of the pirate rules they strictly abide by. Most of them Targeting those notorious colonists and merchant ships carrying valuable cargo carrying royal tribute. Therefore, if ordinary merchant ships know that they are ocean conquerors appearing in front of them, they will not panic. They only need to send people to deliver a certain amount of property and then avoid the pirate ships. After that, they can go straight without any worries; but for the ships they want to rob, none of them will escape, even the royal tribute ships. Therefore, this gives the colonists of various countries who have invaded this area an extremely headache, and every country has They ordered a large-scale war to annihilate the ocean conquerors, and even unprecedentedly united several colonial powers to deal with them. However, the ocean conquerors did not dominate here by chance. They had strong military force and more importantly. They are extremely resourceful and cunning. They often strike first before their opponents attack, and then quickly disappear after the opponent discovers them. Their familiarity with this sea area is unparalleled, and there are no secret passages anywhere. They knew exactly where there were dangerous reefs. After many fierce battles, the colonial powers were unable to declare their surrender. Every time a major ship passed by, a powerful navy was sent to escort them in the hope of reducing losses.
That night, a large dance was held on the "Angel" as usual. The businessmen and bureaucrats who had made a fortune from the colony were drunk and dancing, without any awareness of the approaching danger outside.
In the small warehouse in the basement, Julianna still held on to her last glimmer of hope, banging around with a wooden stick. But the results once again proved that this was useless and wasted work.
On the deck outside, poor Hans was still busy washing back and forth, washing the deck that had been soiled by people coming and going during the day. He was sweating profusely from exhaustion. He really couldn't stand it anymore and just sat on the deck to rest. Hans Si looked around, and saw that the sea was quiet and peaceful in the night, and there was a thick fog on the sea. The fog was heavy, and the visibility was very low in the night. He couldn't even see clearly the wooden barrel placed not far away. As a result, he stood up I inadvertently stepped over a wooden bucket filled with dirty water. The work just now was in vain. I sighed and continued to squat down and scrub hard. However, the surroundings seemed to be extremely quiet tonight, even the night birds that usually passed by occasionally. There was no one at all. It was a bit unnaturally quiet, as if something was about to happen, and it was a bit scary. Hans shivered inexplicably, and nervously looked around: there was nothing unusual. He even laughed at himself. Such timidity, such lack of courage will make my dear Judy look down on her. Thinking of poor Juliana still being locked up in that dark little warehouse, it is inevitable that she will feel sad. She must be rescued!
Suddenly he seemed to hear a slight sound of water splashing. He stopped what he was doing and listened carefully. No. Did he hear it wrong just now? No way. He was so frightened by himself that his hair stood on end and goosebumps stood up.
But when he looked around, there was really nothing except the thick black fog. There was another sound of paddling, this time a little clearer than before, and he was sure that it was the sound of paddle paddling. How could he still do it so late?
Was there someone rowing the boat? Hans boldly and cautiously came to the side of the boat and followed the sound. A huge black shadow in the thick fog ahead was slowly approaching the "Angel".
Oh my god! This, this couldn't be the legendary ghost ship, could it? Otherwise, how could such a big ship move so silently? Thinking of this made me feel cold all over and my scalp was numb. I thought, I'd better leave this ghost place quickly.
Right, but my legs were trembling and I couldn't take a step. At this time, the big ship was only a few gangplanks away from the "Angel". The ship didn't hear the sound of water paddling anymore, but then there was a sound.
There were still a few slight plops, and it felt like several small boats were lowered from the ship. Hans, who was stunned there, finally realized what was going on. But his throat was extremely dry at this time, and he couldn't hold back what he wanted to shout.
His throat was spinning and he couldn't say anything. Finally, several vague figures boarded the ship and walked toward him. At the critical moment, he finally shouted loudly: "Pirates! Come quickly, there are pirates!"
Those figures obviously didn't realize that there was someone on the deck at the moment. They saw a small figure running towards the front cabin shouting. The leader in front picked up a wooden stick and threw it with great accuracy. Hans immediately fell to the ground.
He was motionless on the ground.
There was singing and dancing in the forward cabin, and the shouting just now did not attract anyone's attention. The two people walking in front nodded to each other, and then one of them blew a few calls similar to seagulls to the big ship behind. After getting the signal, the ship immediately
Dozens of people came down and boarded the "Angel" in a short while. They dispersed and quietly moved in around the forward cabin. It seemed that the people who came were very experienced, and they kept silent.
They quickly occupied the ammunition room in the rear cabin and knocked out a few guards. Unfortunately, those few guards had no idea what was going on. It was ** time in the ballroom in the front cabin, and all the distinguished guests were gathered there.
Celebrating a safe journey, suddenly the door of the living room was kicked open with a "bang", and a long-haired man with an oriental face wearing gray clothes and a dark scarf wrapped around his head appeared in front of him, pointing the gun in his hand at the gun hanging directly above the hall.
When the big chandelier was raised, the chandelier crashed to the ground and candles were scattered in all directions. People were shocked by the sudden noise, and looked at the strangers in front of them in fear, wondering what happened.
Captain Andres's face turned pale. He soon realized that his merchant ship had encountered a terrible pirate. In desperation, he wanted to reach out and ring the alarm bell next to him. But before his hand could touch it, he heard a bang, and the alarm bell rang.
It became shattered. He looked at the man who was gently blowing away the black smoke from the muzzle in surprise. He was even more surprised that he could detect his movements accurately among the people at such a long distance.
I broke the alarm bell. I knew in my heart that the power of these pirates was beyond that of ordinary pirates.
"Mr. Captain, I hope you can be more honest and don't force me to cause you harm. To tell you the truth, your ship is now under our control."
He spoke slowly and jokingly, walking towards the captain, waving his hands to the panicked passengers to silence them, and continued: "The territory of the conqueror of the ocean. Let me introduce myself, I am the golden-winged eagle. I'm sorry to disturb everyone.
The dance." He said, picking up the glass of wine next to him and taking a sip: "Yeah, it tastes good." Then he drank it all.
"Now everyone, please listen to me and get on the deck immediately. I will beat this place to a pulp in ten seconds. I don't think you want your head to be like a hornet's nest. Okay. Now start the timer."
His words were still indifferent as if they were joking, but they gave people an unspeakable fear. As soon as he finished speaking, the frightened gentlemen and ladies no longer cared about etiquette, and swarmed out of the door. Immediately, the huge ballroom was empty.
No one.
"It's pretty fast."
The golden-winged eagle picked up a piece of cookies and followed him out. At the same time, he casually raised the gun behind him. After a burst of crackling sounds, the beautiful ballroom became miserable.
The thick and strange fog still shrouded the outside, and fear flickered through it. The deck was filled with passengers who were shivering from cold, fear, and now they fully understood their situation.
Around thirty or forty tall and fierce pirates with swords and guns in hand stood on various decks, staring intently at the prisoners in front of them. If anyone dared to risk resistance, the consequences would be disastrous. But the golden-winged eagle just now and several others
A fierce-faced pirate stood behind a majestic and indifferent man in a white short coat. It was obvious that the golden-winged eagle was not their leader. The calm and slightly gentle man in front of him was the real leader of this pirate team.
Leader. His eyes are slightly gentle but his arrogance is very compelling. He gives people a natural majesty.
"Golden-winged Eagle, is everyone here?"
He briefly glanced at the people in front of him.
"It's all here."
The golden-winged sculpture, who had been laughing and uninhibited just now, answered the leader's questions respectfully.
"Chief, there is another woman locked up in the basement."
A short pirate held a saber in his right hand and pulled Julianna's clothes with his left hand and pushed her to the leader. Julianna was really unlucky. She was sleeping peacefully in the small cabin just now and was disturbed by the noise outside.
She woke up. She got up and wanted to hear what happened. Several heavy footsteps came to the kitchen, as if searching for anyone. She thought they had arrived at the shore, and was afraid that she would be forgotten because she was locked up here. She was busy with what they wanted.
When leaving, she shouted: I'm still here. So the pirates caught this guy who had thrown himself into the trap. At this time, Juliana saw the scene in front of her and wished she was mute just now. The leader didn't even look at her.
At one glance, she just ordered the pirates to take her aside.
Julianna quietly retreated inside, and found Hans who had just woken up among the crowd, and then felt a little relieved.
"Listen up, everyone, hand over your belongings now and we won't hurt you. However, please don't make any fearless resistance. Although we don't want to hurt you, I can't guarantee that there are any self-righteous guys among you.
If you hurt yourself, you will have to bear the consequences. Okay, now, Mr. Captain, please set an example and take us to the treasure room, please?" The golden-winged eagle pointed a gun at the captain with a smile.
"No, I have to be responsible for the guests, and I will never give the goods to you!"
The captain showed unprecedented courage and resolutely refused the golden-winged eagle's request.
"Mr. Captain, this is not the time for you to show bravery. Go quickly, otherwise——"
"Shut up the golden-winged eagle! Hey, old guy, hurry up and open the door for me!" Another pirate with a black eyepatch on his left eye roughly interrupted the golden-winged eagle, and slapped the captain angrily.
, there was a deep wound on the captain's face immediately, and blood continued to flow out. Only then did everyone see clearly that his left hand was not a real hand but an iron hook. The captain covered his face and screamed in pain.
, begged for mercy, and immediately took him to the storage room. The one-eyed pirate rolled his eyes disdainfully at the golden-winged eagle next to him and walked straight over with his head held high.
"One-eyed wolf, you savage guy."
It seems that there is no harmony between the golden-winged eagle and the one-eyed pirate one-eyed wolf.
"Shut up, Golden-winged Eagle!"
The deep voice of the leader behind him immediately silenced the golden-winged eagle. Soon the one-eyed wolf came back with his men carrying three large wooden boxes. He walked up to the leader and reported the harvest.
"Chief, everything is here, not as much as Tie Yi said."
The sea mud bear glanced at the wooden box, slowly walked down and casually looked at the captain who was still covering his face, and suddenly raised his voice: "Captain Andres, take out all the goods. I won't say it a second time."
"I, I have taken it all out. It's all here."
Captain Andres lost his usual composure and didn't bother to wipe the blood on his face. He just looked at the rear deck from time to time.
"Golden-winged Eagle, go and tear it down!"
His casual look was immediately noticed by the sea mud bear. The golden-winged eagle understood and led the people to the rear deck. The people on the boat looked at the rear deck in confusion.
Hans realized that the pirates had not noticed him at this time, so he quietly leaned towards the starboard side of the ship, turned to a corner and was about to turn around to escape, when there was a sudden bang, and he felt a huge pain in his left leg, and he immediately fell to the deck.
Go up. When I lowered my head and saw a cut in my leg, blood was gushing out. I felt so painful and afraid that I could not speak.
The one-eyed wolf came towards him with a gun, glanced at him contemptuously, and was about to shoot. Suddenly, a figure in the crowd quickly rushed over to block Hans. She didn't realize that this was useless. The pirates would kill her together.
Damn it. But now I can only bite the bullet and pretend to be a hero to the end.
The pirates did not expect that a weak-looking girl would be so bold and risk her life to fight against them. Hai Nixiong glanced at the unexpected situation in front of him: a guy who overestimates his capabilities.
The one-eyed wolf didn't want to lose face because of a girl's opposition in front of his accomplices, so he said viciously: "You stinky girl, get out of here! Otherwise I will kill you together!"
Juliana was ready to take risks at this moment, her courage was several times greater than usual, and she blurted out: "You bandits who do all kinds of evil, bully our defenseless people and brazenly call yourself the conqueror of the ocean. It's really ridiculous! If you have the ability, you can kill me."
Let’s kill them together so that people know what kind of skills the so-called King of the Sea relies on to obtain these titles!”
After saying that, he closed his eyes tightly, unable to bear to see himself dying in pain and misery.
The sea mud bear walked up to her, raised her chin, looked into her eyes and asked, "What's your name? Who is he to you?"
"It doesn't matter if I tell you, my name is Juliana, and he is my friend. We are not as inhumane as you, and we are willing to die for our friends."
Anyway, he was already dead, so why should he be afraid? He simply raised his head and stared at him with arrogant eyes. The sea mud bear thought for a moment, let her go, and turned to leave. Hans was extremely moved. Although his legs were in severe pain at the moment, he listened to Julianna.
After these impassioned words, her heart felt sweet and proud, and Julianna kept thinking about her possible death.
"Chief, good news, the thing is right here in the damn place!"
