Chapter Eleven: Francotier

While everyone was talking, Xu Mo suddenly frowned, "Why hasn't the alarm bell ringed yet?"

Tie Lilie just now reminded Xu Mo that he had arrived at the Ore Strait and asked him whether he would enter Level 3 alert. Logically speaking, they had been talking on the team channel for a long time, and the alert bell should have sounded on the ship.

Did Tiellier make a new discovery? Xu Mo walked over the rudder wheel at the bow and walked towards the middle of the Vasa, where a large bronze bell for alert hung there. Now, he was standing, due to the obstruction of the sails and masts, he could not see the bronze bell for the time being.

"Huh?" Not far away, Xu Mo heard the controversy coming from the bronze bell. One of the sounds was Tie Lilie, and the other sound was a little unfamiliar with him.

Bypassing the bottom sails of the middle mast, Xu Mo saw several people surrounding the alarm bell. His first mate Tielli was surrounded by three fierce sailors of height and size, arguing about something with blushing faces, and next to him was Barron Larson with a embarrassed look on his face.

A trace of doubt flashed in Xu Mo's eyes. He was not very familiar with these three sailors. However, he knew the name of a young sailor with a fleshy face. This powerful Viking sailor is called Frango Tyre, an old sailor specially drawn from Hedram from the Hell God. He has a brave fighting style, rich sailing experience, and is loved by deck sailors.

It is said that before Frango became the Swedish navy, he was a Viking pirate who plundered everywhere. Later, because Sweden gained the hegemony of the North Sea, he began to clear the entire North Sea waters, and the pirate ship he was in was also sunk by Hedram.

However, Hedram did not execute them, but instead left these Viking pirates and made them swear to serve the Swedish navy. These pirate sailors were fierce and cruel, and only naval admirals like Hedram could suppress them.

"Tie Lilie, why hasn't the alarm bell ringed yet?" Xu Mo's eyes flashed and his face fell down. His importance to Tilie Lilie did not mean that he would allow delays in combat orders.

"I... I'm ringing the alarm bell right now!" Seeing Xu Mo's arrival, Tie Lilie was silent for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the alarm bell.

The three sailors surrounding him looked up at Xu Mo and then made way. However, the distance they made was narrow, with only a slit, and they almost had to push over to the side. Tielli hesitated for a moment and then walked around the three of them. However, as he walked past Frango, the sailor deliberately bumped with his shoulders.

Seeing this scene, Xu Mo immediately had an angry look on his face and shouted angrily: "Guard, tie him up for me!"

Looking at the musketeers running nearby, the other two sailors became nervous and moved closer to Frango, protecting his left and right, and putting his right hand on the scimitar hilt on his waist. Seeing the movements of the two sailors, the anger on Xu Mo's face disappeared, and his eyes showed a strange calmness.

"What are you doing? Get out of here!" Frango, who had been silent, suddenly became furious and pushed the two sailors around him away, carrying their hands behind him, allowing the musketeers to tie him up.

"Admiral, I..." Seeing several wolves and tigers around him tied Frango to the net cable, Tiellier persuaded him a little unbearable, "Frango just had some doubts about the warning order, just explain it clearly to him, there is no need to punish him!"

Xu Mo, who had already stood back on the rear bridge, glared at Tielli, then turned around and nodded to the musketeer holding a whip. After receiving Xu Mo's instructions, the musketeer naked raised his whip high and waved towards Frango's back.

"Bang!" A crisp sound of whips sounded on the quiet deck.

"One!" Barron, who was standing next to the guard, reported without expression, but Frango, who was tortured, gritted his teeth and lay on the net rope without saying a word, pressing his head against the thick cable, and beads of sweat slowly seeped out from his forehead...

"... Ten! The execution is over!" Looking at Frango, whose back was covered in blood and almost exhausted, Barron's face twitched slightly twice, and raised his chins to the two sailors who had already prepared next to him, indicating that they could help Frango to the medical room.

"Tie Lilie, Barron, you two come into the captain's room with me!" Xu Mo said with a stern face.

Walking into the captain's room, Xu Mo took off his triangle cap and put it on his desk, and asked in a deep voice: "Tie Lilie, what happened just now?"

"Just just when I wanted to ring the alarm bell, Frango... had some different opinions. He believed that the sea view is good now, and even if an enemy ship comes, he had time to react. Now it is still far from our next port. Rampantly ringing the alarm bell will make the sailors nervous, accelerate fatigue, and be unfavorable to sailing behind." Tie Lilie secretly glanced at Xu Mo and said softly.

"...Did you accept his advice?" Xu Mo asked expressionlessly.

"I didn't agree!" Tie Lilie shook his head, "But there is some truth to his words, so I don't think you should punish him!"

Hearing Tie Lilie's words, Xu Mo's eyes flashed, but he did not answer him for the time being. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the young officer with a straight face, "Baron, do you know why I asked you to come in?"

"I... know!" Barron's face changed slightly, and he replied bitterly, "I made a mistake just now! As a military judge, I shouldn't sit idly by and watch the three sailors offend the first mate!"

Hearing Barron's words, Xu Mo's face eased a little. This young officer is worth training. But just a sudden incident happened. He had not yet adapted to the new position of the military judge. "If you know you are wrong, go out. The captain position is temporarily handed over to Max, and you can serve as his deputy!"

"Yes, Lord Admiral!" Barron responded loudly, reached out and touched the brim of his hat, saluted Xu Mo, and then turned around and went out with his head raised.

Seeing Barron's back disappearing behind the door, Xu Mo turned back and looked at the nervous young man and said, "Tie Lili, sit down first! What position did you have on Hedram's ship before?"

"Admiral Hedram asked me to be his clerk, responsible for helping him organize navigation information and arrange routes!" Tie Lilie replied in a little confused.

"It's true, damn it!" Xu Mo grinded his teeth and cursed. Seeing Tie Lilie's face looked a little ugly, he immediately explained angrily, "I'm not talking about you, it's the white-haired eagle! Hedram didn't tell me that you have always served as a civilian on the warship!"

"Is this... related?" Tie Lilie was stunned.

"Tie Lilie, haven't you noticed that Frango is deliberately targeting you?" Xu Mo stared at the young man and sighed softly.

"Why did he do this? Although we have no friendship on the Hell God, we can still be considered half an acquaintance?" Tie Lilie opened his eyes wide, a little unbelievable. Suddenly, a thought came to the young man's heart, and his face changed. "Is he dissatisfied with me being the first mate of the Vasa?"

"You are not too stupid yet! But it doesn't matter whether Frango is dissatisfied with you or wants to replace him." Xu Mo said seriously, "The important thing is that you must understand that what you need on the battlefield is not reasoning, but obedience! Once your order is issued, everyone except me must obey the Vasa, and there is no need to spend more time explaining to anyone. I heard that you have had a boat of your own before, so why don't you understand?"

"My previous ship was just a sloop, with only more than a dozen crew members. They were basically friends who were chasing their dreams of sailing. They discussed with each other's anything." Tie Lilie said with a wry smile, "What's more, I haven't been to this captain for long. I encountered pirates when I went to sea for the first time and lost our ship."

"So that's it! Okay, since you understand, go out!" Xu Mo nodded, and waited for Tielli to walk to the door, and once again solemnly reminded, "Tielili, remember! What sailors need is not friends, but leaders."

"Yes, my Admiral!" Tie Lilie smiled and put on the Shanghai military cap again, touching the brim of the hat.

As soon as Tie Lilie left the door, Xu Mo's face was immediately covered with dark clouds, and he ordered on the team channel, "Selna, you can use that thing! I've worked hard these two days, and you and Dinah take turns using that thing, and be sure to find ships from other Catholic countries on the sea."

"BOSS, that thing is very expensive. We have not entered the North Sea yet. If we use it frequently now, I am afraid that the super string coins and honor values ​​will not be enough when facing the Temple of the Gods!" Serna was shocked and immediately reminded.

"It's okay, it's really not enough, just exchange my honor and title!" A trace of iron blue flashed across Xu Mo's face, "The internal problems of the warship are much more serious than I thought. We don't have so much time to sort out slowly. Before facing the Temple of the Gods, we must win a happy naval battle as soon as possible, and use victory and spoils to unite all the sailors around us. Otherwise, there will definitely be problems at critical moments!"

"Okay, Dina and I work day and night, taking turns to serve as watchers!" Serna sighed helplessly.

"Well, let Mary be with you. What's the situation? She can help analyze it!"

"Admiral Alfred, are you inside?" At this moment, a pleasant female voice came from outside the captain's door.

"What's she here?" Hearing this voice, Xu Mo raised an eyebrow, "Please come in, Christina!"

"Hi, Lord Alfred!" As the hatch opened, Christina put her hands on her hips, stepped on her long legs, and smiled to Xu Mo.

"Is there anything wrong? Christina!" Xu Mo looked at the beauty in front of him with admiration and asked politely.

"I heard that you were the stormtrooper of the Vistalos before, so your combat skills should be very clever, right?" Christina took two steps forward, leaned over and supported her hands on the desk.

Christina was wearing a low-cut dress on her upper body. When she leaned over, the proud peaks on her chest were suddenly squeezed out of a deep trench, and her white skin made Xu Mo's eyes full of snowflakes.

"Yeah, yeah!" The wealthy business lady in the subconscious suddenly took such an attractive posture. Xu Mo's thinking did not react for a moment, and she was short-circuited in an instant, and her eyes were a little confused and responded casually.

"Hohoho, I'm a little confident in swordsmanship. I don't know if you can find some time to guide me?" Christina raised her lips slightly and threw a charming look at Xu Mo.

"Guiding sword skills? Hey, hey, Christina..." When Xu Mo came to his senses, he found that the red-haired beauty was about to walk out.

Is the spring of this beautiful girl coming? Xu Mo rubbed his temples with his fingers in a daze, thinking about what Christina had just said. For some reason, the young man felt a little more uneasy.
