Chapter 6 Pirate Encounter
Time flies, and three days passed in a blink of an eye.
With the help of three days of practice, Wang Fei absorbed the star power in the sky and refined the wounds on his body. By this time, he has recovered from all his injuries.
And as his body improved, he became stupid again. A naive expression is enough to compare with a four- or five-year-old child. At the same time, after receiving a lesson, Gu Li gradually became vigilant.
On this day, the two were thinking about the voyage of Yang Fan to determine where to disembark, and then return directly to Stone City.
As the day of return approached, Gu Li's face showed some concern from time to time. So far, there is still no conclusion as to whether the two deputy commanders have betrayed the mercenary regiment and his father Guda.
" boss, you have recovered from all your injuries. Shall we go to the deck to breathe?"
It has been holding back for three days. Wang Fei nodded gently, and the two walked out of the bedroom together.
At this time, as the evening approached, the red sun was about to go west into the sea. The red sunset glow, accompanied by snow-white clouds, is reflected in the blue sky, forming a spectacular picture scroll.
A group of seabirds chirping over the Yangfan, and several chicks may be tired of flying and landed on the huge sail. Other seabirds continued to fly far away and soon disappeared into the sky.
Wang Fei saw an acquaintance, the sailor who chatted last time. He stepped forward and said, "Hey, brother, are you standing guard again?"
The freedom of sailors far exceeds that of soldiers. As long as you do your own job well, the intermediate process will generally not be investigated.
"So it's you! What's the matter? The injury is completely healed?" The sailor recognized Wang Fei at a glance. After all, after sailing for several months, the strangers were only Wang Fei and Gu Li, who were rescued from the sea halfway.
"Okay!" Wang Fei patted his chest hard, and a smile appeared on his face. He grabbed the rag from the sailor's hand and said, "Brother, I'll help you!"
The sailor did not refuse, but looked at Wang Fei carefully. The young face is simply an underage child. Why did you drift into the sea at such an age?
"Brother, it's hard enough for you to be a sailor. It's better on the big boat. If it's a small boat and encounters a hurricane, it will be in danger!"
Who said no! Little brother, the Yang Fan is not big, but it is famous in Longyan City. The hull is made of century-old ebony, and its strength has surpassed that of ordinary armored warships. And its weight is light, and when you encounter pirates, you can also take advantage of speed to distance it at the first time!"
"So awesome! It seems that Miss Cao is not small, otherwise she should not occupy the Yang Fan of the Long family, right?
"This is not what I can know! Miss Cao is usually very mysterious. Most of the time, she lives in the cabin. Little brother, you are so lucky! If it hadn't met us, the hurricane that day would have swallowed you up!"
Who said no! Well, I want to express my gratitude to Miss Cao, but her guard won't let us get close. Oh~ So far, I don't know what the savior looks like! If you meet but don't know each other, then..."
Although the words were not complete, the sailor could pay attention to the meaning behind and sighed, "Little brother, Miss Cao is not a noble person at this level that we can reach. Forget it, even if we meet each other, so what?
"Brother, we won't talk about her! I have been on the ship for a while. So far, I don't know the purpose of the Yang Fan?
"You really asked the right person! This morning, the captain had ordered that the Yang Fan had begun to return. It will not take a few days to return to the Stone City at the southern end of the mainland. At that time, we will rest in Stone City for a few days, and you two will also be left in Stone City!"
Gu Li, who had been following Wang Fei, was obviously stunned when he heard the three words of Stone City. What should come, it will always come. Avoidance can't solve any problems.
"Go to the Stone City! I heard that Stone City is a rare big city in the southern part of the star continent, with a population of several million. And in addition to the city guards, there are also a large number of mercenary regiments!"
Gu Li has also been on the island for more than a year, and he has no way to know what happened during this period. Wang Fei wants to learn something about the recent changes in Stone City with the help of the mouth of sailors.
"Little brothers also know the Stone City! My ancestral home is in Stone City. As the southernmost city of the mainland, our Stone City is in the mercenary alliance. There is not only a city owner who presides over the operation of the Stone City, but also a regular army of 10,000 people.
"In addition to the regular army, there are many mercenaries living in the Stone City. After all, there are a large number of fleets every year and need to go to sea from Stone City. Local recruitment of mercenaries for maintenance can save a lot of expenses for the fleet going to sea, and also promotes the development of the mercenary regiment in Stone City.
......
Wang Fei nodded repeatedly, pretended to listen carefully, and from time to time followed what the sailor told, changing his expression. After half an hour, he slowly learned that the Stone City had not changed much during this period.
In the Stone City, there are three three-star mercenary regiments and a large number of small mercenary regiments.
As one of the three Samsung mercenary regiments, the Meteor Corps has always enjoyed a good reputation. The strength of 400 to 500 mercenaries in the regiment cannot be underestimated.
Wang Fei also learned that there have been many differences in the meteor mercenary regiment recently. The regimental Guda disappeared, while the two deputy commanders excluded each other with their cronies, resulting in the loss of many mercenaries.
This news made Gu Li depressed for a long time.
However, a sudden change immediately made the atmosphere on the ship tense.
Standing on the sail pole, the sailor in charge of looking at the distance found several black spots in the distance. When they were gradually approaching, they immediately sounded the warning gong.
"Dong Dong Dong..."
Everyone on the ship was awakened by the sound of gongs, but the well-trained sailors immediately blamed themselves and entered the combat positions.
Wang Fei and Gu Li were at a loss and wanted to hold a sailor to ask, but they saw the people around them in a hurry, but they couldn't bear it.
"Who can report quickly what happened!" At this time, the black-faced guard guarding Miss Cao ran loudly to the deck to ask questions.
"Your Excellency, a suspicious ship found in front of you is rushing towards this way!"
"Don't panic. The speed of the Sailing is not comparable to that of ordinary ships. As long as we respond calmly according to the captain's instructions, no matter how powerful the opponent is, we will be safe!"
The black-faced guard's reply strengthened the sailors' confidence. The orderly action has become more calm. The helm, the sail control, and the observation.
"Second, it is reasonable that the sea area here should not be far from the mainland and is not within the range of rampant pirates. I don't think it's that simple!"
Wang Fei judged that the comer was a pirate, and there was no reason. According to normal circumstances, if it were a merchant ship, the trade name would have been revealed when the two sides met.
Judging from the performance of the sailor, it is obvious that the identity of the other party has not been found at this time. It's not common sense. He really can't think of any other reason than pirates.
"Big boss, no matter what it is! We are not from the ship. If we are pirates, we will go to the middle of the sea empty-handed at most. Facing the hurricane in the sea with bare hands, we all broke in. Are you still afraid of pirates?
"That's right, but we are grateful to Miss Cao. If we are in trouble, we can't escape alone!"
"Miss Cao's two guards have star-level strength. What can we two star apprentices do? Boss, don't worry about it. Let's wait and see!"
Wang Fei, who has always been free and easy, became uncertain when he met something about Miss Cao.
However, the Yangfan sailed in an orderly manner, while determining the identity of several approaching ships while preparing to change direction at any time.
The speed of the Sailing itself gives the captain incomparable confidence that even if the other party is not good, he can rely on the advantage of speed to avoid any danger.
