Chapter 676 (1/1)
The watchman who first found the abnormality was also the first to encounter misfortune. Before he could give a warning to the crew, the poor young man was wrapped in a light green powder which was drifting by the wind. Then there was a cry of desperate frogs and a ”crackle” of falling from a height. Pale green blood and a few pieces of meat splashed on the sailors working near the lookout tower. Even one sailor was just at the climax of the boat song. The dirty flesh and blood fell directly into his mouth. Then there was a concerto of vomit and panic. Naturally, there will be no frogs in the sea. Even if there are frogs, they will never fall from the sky to the deck and die. When other sailors look up at their heads blankly, they can see the empty lookout basket and some figures riding on broomsticks.
”Witch!” I don't know who started shouting, and then a throwing knife from the air made him shut his mouth completely. The rest of the sailors saw the tragedy of their companions, and the courage that had just risen in their hearts disappeared in an instant. They realized that they were not the masters of the sea and the land under it, but those who were flying in the sky.
The captain standing behind the rudder saw all this. He was actually the second of all to find the witch. He was also wise not to make any sound. In fact, the thought of escaping occupied the old sailor's mind at the moment of seeing the witch, but it was only for another moment that the thought was dismissed. The reason is very simple. He thinks that in this vast sea, as a human being, he has no chance to escape the witch's pursuit. In this case, we can only try to negotiate.
”Dear and beautiful ladies, why did you hurt my crew?” The captain, who took off his hat and buttoned it to his chest, called out into the air and walked slowly down the platform to his crew. His action calmed the panicked sailors and surrounded their captain with a look of humility and lowered their heads. In fact, they talk quickly in sign language where the witches can't see. The conversation was about how to deal with these uninvited guests. As the first mate, the strong man looked up carefully at the women riding on broomsticks and wearing wide brimmed hats. He noticed that some witches were far away from the ship, and some of them had obvious traces of injuries.
However, the first mate realized that it didn't mean the captain could. For the old sailor, he didn't have time to care about where the witches came from. Fortunately, after killing the first two sailors, the witches' bloodthirsty desire was vented. The leading one of them slightly lowered the altitude of flight, and looked at the old sailor with blue eyes as blue as the sea. ”This is no navigation zone. If you're from lost heart Bay, you should know about it.”
The captain immediately showed a mixed expression of panic and bewilderment, shaking his head like a rattle, ”the sea god is on! I didn't know we sailed into your waters! Oh, my God, it must have been the ebb tide that brought us in! We don't mean to offend! Please give us a chance, dear lady! I swear to my boat, I'll leave with these fools at once These words, combined with subtle trembling and continuous cold sweat, make the image of a reckless captain who mistakenly damaged the restricted area perfectly.
But where are witches so easy to cheat? The witch with dark blue eyes sneered at her mouth. She is not a young witch like elipegg. Her experience and experience make her extremely difficult to deceive. If not, she would not be the leader of the team to attack the squadron's forces with a small number of people. So there was no evidence at all. She knew at the first sight of the ship what the people on board were thinking.
This is not the first, and will not be, the captain who ventured through the witch's backyard in order to win the first landing. ”Swept in by the waves? Oh, that's bad luck, captain. It's too bad. Besides, I think your bad luck is more than that, right? Judging from the draft of your ship and the people on board, you didn't get any business at this ebb tide. It's a waste of your ship. As far as I know, only our docks can make such three masted sailboats, and there are only one or two ships sold out each year. Tut Tut, you must have bought such a good ship at a high price, right? Are you afraid that you will not be able to repay the debt if you come back empty handed? ”
Captain Gulu swallowed hard. If he could, he even hoped that he could be choked to death. These damned witches know them so well that they don't need any informants or intelligence agencies to understand them, whether it's maritime knowledge or the situation in the city. So he knew that his argument would not work in front of the witch. But what if it doesn't work? Breaking into the forbidden area has never been a second end. What can he do to avoid it? The captain's mind was racing.
Different from the captain who is trying to figure out how to survive, as the temporary leader of the witch team, the blue eyed witch also has her own plans. The loss of this battle was greatly beyond the expectation of the witches because of the tenacious resistance of the Huntress Jacques. Of course, the responsibility for the casualties would not fall on the head of the great witch. In order to reduce the punishment for her command mistakes, she could not wait for the opportunity to make up for her mistakes. It may be a good choice to support an agent who has enough right to speak in lost heart Bay. Especially in today's confusing situation with the sea demons, it is not difficult to defend the lost heart Bay only by the power of witches. But if you want to really give those fish people a heavy blow, the mortal fleet is also necessary.Nevertheless, the witch did not let the captain off. It is said that the fish that has been fished once will become more shrewd, and so will people. Although the captain can meet the expectations of the witch in terms of ability, his ability to calm down and control his subordinates proves that he is not a chess player willing to be manipulated by others. That's not good enough. What the witches want is soldiers who obey orders. The only thing they don't need is to worry about the common people's thoughts when they fight the sea demon. In contrast, the one with a turban and one ear missing is more appropriate. Judging from the performance of him and other crew members, this man should be the second in command of the ship. This strong man is usually more used to solving problems with violence. He will be a more suitable chess piece than the current captain.
Having made up her mind, the witch said again, ”well, we are not unreasonable. According to the rules of you sailors, everything on board must be ordered by the captain. Therefore, you only need one person to be responsible for this mistake. Now, sailors of lost heart, it's time to show your loyalty to the sorceress. ”
