Chapter 551 (1/2)

Time goes back to about two quarters of an hour ago

”Boat! Look, there's a boat coming over there --!”

The watchman on the mast suddenly shouted excitedly. On the messy deck, ED, the captain of the black sparrow, known as the ”black blind”, quickly got up, jumped to the stern with his only good leg, widened his eyes and looked far away.

Sure enough... Not far behind them, a standard Saxophone paddle boat is slowly approaching.

”The dovetail flag on that ship... Looks like an iron crown?” a sailor suddenly shouted.

As soon as the voice fell, the sailors around turned pale one after another!

The black sparrow is not a serious merchant ship. Once it is found, the consequences are... Unimaginable!

”You fool, which is the iron crown?!” an experienced old sailor nearby immediately noticed the difference and yelled at the rookie who had just scared everyone to death:

”You can see clearly with wide eyes that under the crown of the flag is a lion, and under the real desalian iron crown is three dragons! It is not the symbol of the imperial royal family at all, but the flag of the governor of the imperial Bain!”

But these words did not make the sailors around look better. They were still trembling. Even the ”black blind” Ed's own face was uncertain.

Imperial paddle boats were usually equipped with at least one crossbow, forty heavily armed sailors with crossbows, and twice the number of sailors; Moreover, because it is a warship, its speed is much faster than that of an ordinary merchant ship. When necessary, it can use human paddles to improve the ship's speed.

In other words, whether the ship belongs to the imperial corps or the governor of Byrne in the South... It is definitely not the object that the black sparrow can provoke!

It's too late to even want to run - when they can see each other, the other party must have found their ”black ship” without any flag; Once you speed up your escape, you won't have any good results except exposing yourself.

So Captain ed immediately rejected the idea of escape - this is an inland river, not a sea. Can a broken merchant ship run past a warship?!

”Black sparrow” is not ”Black Pearl” after all

”They are speeding up and approaching!” the watchman suddenly exclaimed at the top of the mast, and the trembling dog legs immediately panicked.

”Boss, what should I do?!”

”What's the panic?!” Captain ed stared at the disgraced dog legs beside him, pondered for a moment, and shouted to the watchman at the top of the mast:

”Look again and see if there are any other signs on that ship!”

The watchman who got the order quickly widened his eyes; Almost all the sailors on the deck could not help raising their heads and waiting for the news from above.

A few minutes later, the lookout finally sent the answer: ”yes, there is also a swallow tail flag on the ship with the logo of yode chamber of Commerce!”

The sailors who got the news had little change in expression and still looked pale - as the richest and most powerful chamber of Commerce in the south, the relationship between Yoder chamber of Commerce and governor Bain was almost well known; Similarly, it seems no surprise that the Yod chamber of Commerce was able to borrow a warship from governor Bain.

But Captain Ed's expression was overjoyed and stared at the warship as if he wanted to write down the shape of the ship; It was a long time before he made up his mind and ordered the sailors:

”Listen, everyone, let's stop the ship!”

As soon as the voice fell, everyone was stunned, and even the lookout on the top of the mast almost fell from it.

There was a dead silence on the deck.

”That... Boss.” an old sailor swallowed his saliva, summoned up his courage and said, ”should you explain to us what you did?”

The other sailors instinctively gathered behind him and looked at captain ed with more and more strange eyes. They almost pointed out ”are you crazy”... Of course, they dare not say such words.

A group of cowards... Looking at his timid dog legs, Captain ed hated his teeth, although he would never admit that his little heart was beating.

But the question is, can they run even if they want to run... That's a warship. Once found, even if they can run away, they can't run out of the range of the crossbow - Military crossbow, which can feed the fish with their small sampan!

But this kind of words can't be said, otherwise it will be really finished by these timid dog legs... What's more, Captain ed doesn't want to escape. He wants to do a big job.
