Tangke hurriedly turned off the system interface, opened his eyes, and looked at the left side of the hull. There was nothing on the sea. The watchman was still shouting and shouting, so Tangke had to climb up the watchtower with his hands and feet, and looked at it from a height, only then did he see the shadow of a boat on the sea.
The ship came by the wind, and the shadow gradually grew larger. It was a medium-sized brig with gray sails blown by the wind and a sharp ramming horn on the bow, like a horned beast rushing at sea.
Tangke's heart was agitated, he needed to get in touch with people in this world to understand the location at sea and find supplies in the port. He was thinking about how to treat the incoming ship, should he ask politely, or just hijack the ship?
The medium-sized brig did not come directly but made a detour. After finding a downwind direction, it galloped with the strongest wind, and the splashing waves were enough to overturn Tangke's Whirlwind.
Seeing the menacing posture of the medium-sized ship, Tangke frowned and showed a solemn expression. The other party deliberately looked for the direction downwind before approaching. It was obviously the visitor was not good. Coupled with the ramming angle that was obviously used for attack, it seemed that the medium-sized ship is an armed ship.
As soon as he had this thought, the ship immediately raised a flag with a large black toad painted on the flag, fluttering in the wind with a weird and inexplicable meaning.
"Pirate flag? It looks like a thief has met a thief." Tangke smiled wryly, then cheered up, drew his sword to the sky, and shouted, "Everyone picked up your weapons and went to the deck to stand by, we met our peers. Everyone come out and say hello!"
The speed of the Whirlwind is obviously inferior to that of the other party. If they escape, it will only become a target. It is better to wait for it.
Tangke let the watchman beside him go down and left alone on the circular observation deck, where the two of them were a little crowded.
There were more than a dozen sailors gathered on the deck of the Whirlwind, and the rest were still rowing. They watched the behemoth come through the waves without fear, with swords in their hands and grappling hooks hanging from their waists, ready to fight at any time.
That boat was of the speed type, it was like a wild horse with a square sail and a triangular sail fully open.
Tangke knew that the strength of the enemy and ours was very different, so he clenched his slender machete a little bit. The strong wind from the sea and the momentum of the enemy ship blew his face and ruffled his hair.
"See the opportunity to avoid their collision!" Tangke shouted, and the sailors immediately took action, constantly adjusting the direction of the boat.
The big boat rushed over, and the small boat barely dodged. The splashing waves covered their faces, the sailors took a sea bath, and the hull swayed constantly. Even sailors who were familiar with sea life fell down several times, which caused them to scold it for a while.
Tangke clenched the guardrail of the observation deck, barely stabilized his body, and looked at the big ship opposite. Even if he stood on the observation deck, he could only be parallel to the opponent's deck. There were gun doors on the opposite ship, and the deck was full of fierce pirates. There were about seventy people. Among them, there was a one-armed man who has the aura of a high-ranking man and wears a triangular cuffed hat.
The one-armed man has a sturdy stature, and there were many scars on his weathered body. A small gun barrel was installed on his stump, which shines with a bright metallic luster. Usually, pirates were used to attaching hooks to stumps, and he was obviously more avant-garde.
"I'm Baron Kedar, the third captain of the Black Toad Pirates. Where did you little thieves come from?" the one-armed male gangster asked grumpily.
"I am the captain of the Whirlwind, not a thief, but also a pirate. I come from... the far east." Tangke replied without showing weakness. He did not intend to hide anything, and the conflict of interest between each other would not be solved on identity.
In fact, even if Tangke didn't admit it, the other party could see their identities. The crew of the Whirlwind looked too much like pirates.
"This route leading to Port Carlin is the hunting ground of our Black Toad Pirates. Don't you outsiders go to the tavern to inquire about the situation? Haven't you heard of the reputation of our Pirates!"
The pirates on the Black Toad ship were all staring at this side as if they would jump off at any time.
"I don't care who you are, don't beat around the bush. If you want to fight, our Whirlwind people will accompany you to the end!" Tangke's pirate group has not been named yet, so it can only call itself the Whirlwind for the time being.
The Black Toad Pirates ship reacted violently. Some pirates were eager to attack, while others were laughing at Tangke and the others. In their eyes, the little Whirlwind was vulnerable. Kedar drank a few times before the pirates quieted down.
"Boy, I admire your courage to hit a stone with a pebble. Only people like you can stand in this sea, and you are very skilled in sailing when you avoided the collision just now." Kedar extended an olive branch and said, "I am willing to take you guys under my command, you will be members of the Black Toad Pirates from now on."
Tangke's eyes changed slightly, his mind turned, and he decided to go with the flow. He said, "I am willing to lead the sailors to join your Black Toad Pirates. You put the ladder down, and I will bring someone up to talk to you in detail."
He has already inserted the slender machete back into the scabbard.
"No! We are willing to follow you to the death in the sea, and we will never yield to anyone!" a sailor from the Whirlwind shouted excitedly, and other sailors also agreed, expressing their willingness to fight to the end, showing absolute loyalty.
Tangke was touched by it. He really did not expect that these sailors would be so loyal. No matter whether the sailors were alive or created by the game, he was willing to take up the identity of the captain and share life and death with the sailors.
"Shut the hell up, I have my own measure," Tangke said solemnly. The sailors thought he was going to take the boat to surrender, and they kept trying to dissuade him.
Seeing this scene, Kedar on the enemy ship was slightly moved. Such loyal sailors are really rare. The captain who can make so many people loyal to himself must also be a person. He became more interested in Tangke, but also warier.
"Boy, what's your name?"
"Tangke."
After he finished speaking, he had already jumped onto the rope ladder extended by the enemy ship, ready to climb up, followed by his sailors, who were willing to follow Tangke to any part of the world, even the end of the world.
His heart was pounding, and he tried his best to hide that murderous intention. He planned to get on the ship and kidnap Kedar, then solve the crisis, and even occupy this medium-sized ship.
He was not afraid to fight recklessly, but he preferred to take this risk-taking approach.
As for surrendering to the Black Toad Pirates, he didn't think about it at all.
Kedar looked at Tangke who was climbing up step by step, and for some reason, there was a sense of crisis in his heart as if it was a devil who was climbing up. Their Black Toad Pirates had just experienced a big battle and were eager to absorb fresh blood, otherwise, he would have ordered the Whirlwind to sink.
"Come up yourself first, and let your sailors stay where they are!" Kedar subconsciously avoided the risk and shouted at the bottom.
Tangke's expression remained unchanged, and he said to his sailors, "You guys go down and stand by, and I'll go up to 'solve' the problem by myself."
The sailors looked at the captain worriedly. After being scolded for a few words, they reluctantly went down. But everyone did not put down their weapons and remained on guard.
Tangke climbed to the edge of the boat, and he was about to get on the boat. He was highly concentrated and was ready to draw his sword at any time.
The pirates on the Black Toad were not idle people, they stared at Tangke with malicious intent, making way for him.
Tangke stood on the deck calmly and looked at Kedar.
"Tangke, which country do you belong to? Judging from your appearance, is it a person from the Kingdom of Heaven? Or a person from the Five States Kingdom further away?" Kedar looked up and down the black-haired and yellow-skinned Oriental. He didn't want to accept a subordinate with a force behind it, even if it is a very distant force.
"As you guessed, I drifted from the far east," Tangke replied.
"Are you a nobleman?" Kedar himself was a noble baron. He was a pirate officially authorized by the Dragon Fang Empire and has a privateer's license. As long as he did not touch the ships of the friendly countries of the Dragon Fang Kingdom, he could be domineering on the waterway.
Tangke seemed to be walking forward normally, but he was actually closing the distance with Kedar. He smiled wryly, "Have you ever seen a noble drive this kind of boat?"
"The east is a land of abundance, and your nobles are even richer. It is not bad that our low-level nobles have such boats. Barons generally only own some barren fiefs." Kedar said as if chatting.
It's close enough, it's now!
Tangke's eyes narrowed, and he was about to reach out and draw a knife.
Tangke hurriedly turned off the system interface, opened his eyes, and looked at the left side of the hull. There was nothing on the sea. The watchman was still shouting and shouting, so Tangke had to climb up the watchtower with his hands and feet, and looked at it from a height, only then did he see the shadow of a boat on the sea.
