Chapter 15: Capture the Thief and Capture the King
"Admiral, they are here!" With Tiellier's reminder, the personnel sent on the Flanders merchant ship were climbing onto the deck along the rope ladder that the Vassa had laid down.
There were four negotiators sent by the merchant ship. The person walking in the front was a black-haired young man wearing a red shirt. The black-haired young man had a high forehead and a sharp pair of eyes on his thin face. However, few sailors of the Vasa now pay attention to him, and everyone was attracted by a big young man standing next to him.
This big young man looked kind and had a burly figure. He was about two meters tall, with wide shoulders and thick body. He stood on the deck like a city wall, setting off a group of fierce Viking sailors around him as if they were a bunch of children.
Unlike his subordinates, Xu Mo's eyes only stayed on the two men in front for two seconds, and immediately crossed the shoulders of the two men and looked behind them. Although both of them seemed to have outstanding talents, they should not be the captain.
The ocean ships in the Age of Navigation are all wooden sailboats, and there are all kinds of huge dangers on the ocean that can threaten ships, such as storms, pirates, and large marine creatures. As a captain, not only must he have the ability to deal with these dangers, but also when danger comes, he must unite everyone around him like a lighthouse and rely on the power of the entire ship to overcome these dangers.
Although these two people are outstanding, they do not have the temperament of a captain. This temperament is by no means possessed by nature. It requires many tests of the sea and slowly tempered it. A seaman can easily identify their captain among a group of sailors.
"Huh?!" When his eyes passed over the two young men in front, Xu Mo raised his eyebrows in surprise. The other two he met were actually all acquaintances he had once met.
Oval face, big eyes, fluffy blonde hair, green skirt, and a slim waist that can be grasped by a palm.
"It's that little girl from Amsterdam!" Xu Mo blinked. Isn't the young captain with a cunning face in front of him Lilu Agot from the Agot Chamber of Commerce? Beside her is her childhood sweetheart, the young Camille.
"It's you?!" While Xu Mo saw Lilu, he was looking around at the green-skirted girl in the Vasa and also saw the culprit who attacked them.
"Do it!" At this moment, among the two young men standing in front of Lilu, the black-haired young man with sharp eyes suddenly shouted loudly, waved his arms and pushed away the musketeers who had come up to confiscate the weapons, pulled out the sailor's scimitar at his waist and rushed towards the rear bridge of the Vasa.
As the black-haired young man suddenly attacked, the big young man next to him, who was like an iron tower, showed a simple smile on his face. He opened his palm-shelf big hands on his left and right, grabbed the collars of the two Viking sailors, and easily lifted them up in the air, blocking them in front of him as two shields, like a heavy tank rushing towards the bridge.
"Fernande, Emilio, wait..." Lilu suddenly remembered something, her face changed, and she was about to stop the agreed original plan, but she found that the two people in front of her had already started. She immediately smiled bitterly and looked at Camille beside her, and at the same time pulled out the sailor's knife, followed the two companions in front, and covered them behind them.
Capturing the king first? A smile appeared on Xu Mo's face. It was a good plan.
Now he understood why the Flanders sailboat had so many strange behaviors in front of him. Lilu and his group had never thought of surrendering. At the beginning, they did stick it up to fight the shore war, but later they saw the Vasa avoiding melee battles and entered the line of artillery battles. They had no choice but to surrender, hoping to capture the important personnel of the Vasa and get their own safety.
"Tie Lilie, stand behind me!" Xu Mo hugged his shoulders with interest and looked at the four people below.
Lilu and others boarded the ship very close to the rear deck of the Vasa. It seemed that they had planned it for a long time. In addition, the sailors on the warship could not have thought that only four opponents would dare to launch a surprise attack on the captain. Therefore, after the sudden change, they were a little at a loss, and the four people rushed into the bottom of the bridge in a few breaths.
The rear bridge of the Vassa is actually the top of the captain's room. In front of it is the third mast of the hull. Below the bridge is the bridge of four musket teams, guarding the wooden ladders on both sides of the bridge. The bridge of the sailing warship is the key to the warship. Except for the admirals and senior officers of the warships, as well as a small number of warship gendarmes, other ordinary sailors are absolutely not allowed to come up.
Standing on the bridge, the entire battleship deck was fully visible, and a 6-pound cannon was installed here. The function of this tail cannon was mainly to suppress the sailor's rebellion. Once a rebellion arose on the ship, the military police would use this cannon to block the deck. A condescending shotgun was enough to cause huge damage to the rebels.
The plan of Lilu and the other four was to hijack the captain of the warship, control the stern gun, and then send a signal to their ship to let the crew take over the Vasa. Of course, if the warship cannot be taken as their own, at least the merchant ship must be guaranteed to leave safely.
At this time, the sailors on the boat finally reacted and roared and chased after him. However, the distance water could not relieve the near thirst. Lilu and the other four had already approached the four musketeers and guards under the cover of the "human shield" of the big young man.
Looking at the two of his own people being held in the hands of the big young man, the four musketeers hesitated to raise the musketeers. Their hesitation gave Lilu the chance. The black-haired young man hidden behind the big man and Camille rushed from left to right, forced the musketeers to snatch the wooden ladder on the bridge.
"Hmph!" Suddenly, two people rushed out from the sailors behind, one left and one right. The figure on the left rose up from the ground, and the whole body stretched gracefully in the air, like a big roc spreading its wings, sliding parallel to the heads of many sailors. A cold light lit up in his hands, piercing at the black-haired young man on the wooden ladder on the left like lightning.
"Don't think about it!" A trace of determination flashed across Lilu's sweet face, she stomped her feet, jumped up, and slashed at the figure with a scimitar in her hand.
"Huh!" The figure exclaimed softly, and his body twisted strangely in the air. Lilu's scimitar pressed against the figure's waist and cut the sky with a margin of half a minute. However, the stinging sword in the figure's hand was also affected, and only a blood mark was drawn behind the black-haired young man, which failed to stop him from stepping onto the wooden ladder.
After the figure missed, his body lost balance. He stepped on the mast in the air and stood lightly on the deck with a flip. It was Christina, who was dressed as a man and pretended to be an ordinary sailor.
In fact, it was not only Christina, a crew member of the Vasa who could stop Lilu and the four of them. Several members of the old K Group had already appeared around the bridge, but Xu Mo restricted everyone's actions in the team channel. Except for Max, everyone else was asked to stand by on the spot.
The wooden ladders on both sides of the bridge are very narrow, and basically only one person can pass through. The wooden ladder on the left is a black-haired young man, while the wooden ladder on the right is Camille. When the black-haired young man was blocked by Christina, Camille was also intercepted by Max.
The black-haired young man may dare to ignore Christina's stinging sword, but Camille did not dare to let the bloody beheading axe on Max's hand touch his body. The bloody beheading axe is different from the small sailor's axe. This giant axe with a wide face like a shield. Not to mention humans, even if the steel is cut, it will turn into a rotten persimmon.
In helplessness, Camille had to jump, avoid Max's attack, thrust the scimitar in his hand, and entangled with Max.
"Emilio, go and help Fernande!" Feeling that Max in front of him was not easy to deal with, Camill immediately shouted at the big young man.
"Okay!" The big young man Emilio agreed in a muffled voice, and his tall and burly body grabbed the front of the wooden ladder in a few steps.
However, instead of going up the ladder immediately, he turned around and threw the two Vasa sailors in his hand at the group of sailors chasing behind him. Suddenly, he smashed a group of people on the deck at the back of the bridge, and rolled into a ball of people with moans.
"Huh?" Xu Mo's eyes lit up when he saw this scene. This big man was not only very powerful, but also looked very smart in combat.
Just when Xu Mo wanted to take a look, a cold light suddenly appeared in front of him, and the black-haired young man's scimitar had been handed under his nose.
"Damn!" Xu Mo showed a smile on his face, and his neck tilted slightly. He let the scimitar pass and hugged the right hand in front of his chest, bent his fingers and bounced the scimitar away with a scimitar back.
The force from the scimitar made the black-haired young man look dark and he complained secretly. After experiencing the world of fairy swords, Xu Mo's law body attributes have been greatly improved. Although the power attribute is not his first attribute, the power of the naked suit has reached nearly sixty or seventy points. Even if most of the characters in the plot are weakened, they are several times that of ordinary people, much higher than that of the black-haired young man.
"Fernande, I'm here!" The big young man had already boarded the bridge at this time, and a bear hug rushed towards Xu Mo.
Xu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, made a mistake, and he crawled through the big man's armpit, while elbow hitting the big man's shoulder.
"So hard!" As soon as he touched the big man's shoulder, Xu Mo was shocked. He elbows were facing his shoulders, and a slight numbness came from his elbows.
"Hmph!" The big man seemed to feel the pain on his shoulder, and punched Xu Mo with a backhand.
A trace of appreciation flashed in Xu Mo's eyes, and he pressed the idea of a knife. He slipped his feet and moved sideways to the big man's side again, lowered his head and shoulders, and hit the same part of the big man's shoulders just now. This is a skill he rarely uses after obtaining the demon fangs and the Silver Dawn Avengers - Bajiquan sticks to the mountain.
Now, the big man finally couldn't bear it, and he grinned his teeth and staggered. Xu Mo stopped and was about to speak, but the corner of his eyes saw a move from the black-haired young man, and he was immediately furious...
