"Morris, what are you doing? Come and clean up the water on the deck!"

On the South Kuyawi Sea, a merchant ship is sailing with the wind. This merchant ship departs from the Kingdom of Garagon on the Istola Peninsula and is about to cross the ocean to Atlantis in the Sea of ​​Atlantis. The Kingdom of Lance conducts commercial trade, and merchant ships are loaded with so many commodities that the water level will soon sink to the edge of the waterline.

Hearing Uncle Brasso's shout, the young man named Morris hurriedly left the side of the boat he had been supporting just now, and ran to the middle-aged man who was bare-chested, with a fawning smile on his face, and said: "Uncle Brazo, I'll get it right away."

"Don't hurry up, go now, or the captain will be unhappy when he sees it." Uncle Brasso said, Morris could only rub his hands when he heard this, and ran to the side to pick up the tools for cleaning up the accumulated water.

He sneaked onto the ship from Legisamon Port in the Garagon Kingdom with his family behind his back, in order to leave his poor and boring home and go to the legendary and extremely rich Kingdom of Atlans in the distant legend to find opportunities. The uncle Brazo he knew didn't let him be driven away by the captain after he was discovered.

While cleaning the deck with tools, Morris thought of his younger siblings. Although he was not the eldest son, he had to work hard for family life like the three older brothers. The two older brothers had already responded to the king's call to join the army. Fighting on the front line, only he and the other brother stayed at home, and now that he is gone, I don't know how the only remaining brother will bear the burden of the whole family.

"well."

He sighed, but the tool in his hand suddenly fell from his hand, and just happened to knock down a passing sailor. Morris quickly picked up the tool, and before he could look up at the smashed sailor, he was picked up by the collar of the sailor and gave a pause. Spitting and cursing.

Morris was used to such scolding. He was often insulted by rude sailors in the few days after he boarded the ship. Uncle Lasuo couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and helped him, otherwise he would not be at peace until now.

Just when Morris thought he would continue to be scolded, the sailor standing guard on the pole suddenly yelled loudly. Following his yell and the direction his fingers pointed, everyone on the deck was surprised to find that A fleet of more than 20 warships appeared on the northern sea. Those warships were huge compared to the merchant ships themselves, and they had a very strong deterrent force even if viewed from a distance.

Looking at those battleships, everyone was stunned in place. After a few minutes, the captain's shout brought them back to reality. Following the captain's order, all sailors ran into the cabin and filled boxes with weapons. The wooden box was lifted out,

Put them on the deck, and then everyone selected their own weapons from the wooden box, ran to both sides of the ship, and watched nervously the fleet that was getting closer.

Morris, who was left behind by the rude sailors, stared blankly at those people as if they were facing an enemy, and didn't react for a long time. He stepped forward and kicked Morris over, forcing him to stuff a few javelins.

And the captain himself was holding the crossbow that he spent a lot of time buying, his eyes were full of nervousness.

What is he nervous about? Morris wondered, but no one could tell him the answer, because as the distance between the two sides got closer, the sailors on the deck of the merchant ship began to scream.

Those huge warships had no oars at all! Compared with the merchant ship, the sides of the other side's ship were almost bare, with only small windows that were opened one by one, and in those small windows were black holes one after another.

This is a ship shape that has never been seen before, the captain thought to himself, he turned his head to look at the flag of the Kingdom of Garagon raised on the mast, hoping that this would save his merchant ship from being attacked. He had vaguely guessed that the fleet on the opposite side was not a pirate, not to mention the possibility of pirates owning such a huge and strange battleship, just the red eagle flags flying on the battleship could tell that this fleet belonged to a of unknown country.

With nervousness, more than ten minutes later, the fleet flying the red eagle flag surrounded the merchant ship. They could even see a large number of soldiers holding unknown long pipes standing on the deck of those battleships, and they were holding the black pipes. Aim at the people on the deck of the merchant ship.

The captain was a little scared. Although he didn't know if those long tubes were new weapons, he could clearly feel the faint murderous aura emanating from the soldiers. He swallowed, put down the crossbow in his hand, and at the same time signaled his men to follow suit. He had thousands of weapons, and shouted loudly in the common language of Kuyawi: "We are merchant ships from the Kingdom of Garagon, and we are going to the Kingdom of Atlantis for commercial trade. We have a trade certificate issued by the royal family of Garagon. Permission, please let us pass."

His shouting spread to the surrounding battleships and the ears of the soldiers, but it automatically turned into a large piece of garbled characters. These soldiers from the Dogero continent could not understand the language of the Kuyawi continent at all. The leader, General Hariand, frowned and looked around, trying to find someone who could understand what the other party was saying, but he found that everyone around him was as dazed as he was.

Hariand grabbed his long black hair agitatedly, pursed his thin lips slightly, thought for a while, and finally ordered the soldiers to board the ship to control the merchant ship.

Following his order, the warships that surrounded the merchant ship stretched out passable wooden planks from their decks and put them on the deck of the merchant ship. Under the astonished eyes of the sailors of the merchant ship, a large number of heavily armed soldiers ran along the plank to the merchant ship. Intent to take control of the merchant ship.

It wasn't until the first soldier jumped onto the deck that the astonished sailors reacted. The captain at the head reacted violently and wanted to pick up the crossbow to fight back and defend his property, but before he could pick up the crossbow, he kept The Roman soldiers monitoring the merchant ship had aimed their guns at him and pulled the trigger.

Hearing a clear gunshot, the captain was shot and fell to the ground. The sudden gunshot caused commotion and uneasiness among the sailors. They wanted to take up weapons to fight back, but they were deterred by the muskets raised by the Roman soldiers. Give up this idea and obediently become a prisoner.

The merchant ship without the captain was like a group of dragons without a leader, and was soon controlled by the Romans. The soldiers found a large amount of cargo and official documents written in Istola from the cabin. Although they could not understand the content written on it, they still packed them all. Take it away and give it to Hariand for inspection.

After the search, Hariand found out that the ship was a merchant ship. He pursed his lips and looked at the captain's body lying in a pool of blood, but he didn't feel any guilt in his heart. In the eyes of the Romans, only the Romans The life of a ship is the most noble. If the captain wants to pick up a weapon and attack the Roman soldiers, he will be killed by the soldiers first.
