There are many reasons, one of which is that the navy cannot kill them all.
If one is sunk today, another will appear tomorrow.
Therefore, pirates generally will not waste their energy entangled with the navy if it is not necessary.
But Maud was different.
If you want to come, then come...
A moment later, Maude followed the moon steps towards the king's ship in the distance.
Lafayette followed.
On the king's ship.
A middle-aged man wearing a gold crown was furious, unaware of the impending danger.
Chapter 23 Liberation
"Trash, all rubbish!"
A middle-aged man wearing a gold crown roared on the deck.
The extremely angry voice almost spread throughout the entire royal ship.
This middle-aged man is the current monarch of the South De Canet Kingdom—Canet Rowell.
Lyle, the naughty child who was shot by Maude before, was Rowell's favorite second prince.
It is precisely because of this that Rowell took Lyle on board the ship, with the purpose of taking Lyle to the Holy Land of Mariejoia to see the world.
Unexpectedly, before even leaving Donghai, Lyle was shot dead...
Even though he had thrown the poorly guarded soldiers into the sea to feed the fish, Rowell could not vent his anger.
In this case, if the criminal is not tortured thousands of times, his anger will not subside.
But in fact, after he inquired about the situation, not only did he not assign the troops on the king's ship to support the navy responsible for the escort, he even issued an order to avoid it.
The motive for doing this is to avoid risks and at the same time allow the two warships from the headquarters to deal with the criminals.
There is no doubt that Rowell really wants to avenge the lovely second prince.
But before that, how could Rowell waste two ready-made warships
Taking the preservation of one's own resources as the premise, and then using all available means by any means, is an excellent quality that a king should have.
Rowell has always been like this, so even if he is angry, he will not do anything stupid.
After venting his anger on the deck, Rowell looked at a tall and muscular man next to him.
"Felton, go find out what's going on."
"As you command, Your Majesty Rowell."
The captain of the guard, known as Felton, hurried to the observation tower.
Rowell still couldn't hide his anger, and the veins on his face would not disappear in a short time.
Even if those two warships were able to kill the criminals, he would still label those navy as unfavorable for escorting them.
This is not over yet!
Rowell roared in his mind.
Felton had only walked a short distance when he heard the exclamations of the soldiers around him.
"Um?"
Felton realized something and turned around suddenly.
In the distant sky, Maude and Lafayette came quickly.
When Felton saw this, his expression changed drastically.
"Protect His Majesty Rowell!"
Felton roared, drew out the saber from the scabbard, and rushed to Rowell's side immediately.
Upon hearing Felton's order, the surrounding soldiers in armor mobilized and formed a formation to protect Rowell in the middle.
A group of princes and nobles who came out of the cabin soon saw that the situation was not good, but they returned to the cabin immediately.
"The useless navy can't even deal with two people!"
Rowell also saw Maud and Lafayette coming here, and couldn't help but cursed.
How could he stay on the deck in this situation
If he had known that the navy of the two warships was so useless, he would not have issued an order to evade it. He would have directly asked the soldiers to sink the warships with artillery, and he might have been able to get rid of the two murderers.
"Get out of the way!"
"As you command!"
Under Rowell's angry shout, the soldiers immediately moved out of the way to allow Rowell to go to the cabin.
"Felton, kill those two villains!"
After giving an order, Rowell quickly walked through the ranks of soldiers and hid in the cabin.
He looked very calm on the surface, but inside he was half panicked.
Two warships were destroyed. If the soldiers brought here can't deal with the two villains, then...
on deck.
Felton looked solemn.
Those two warships are elites from the headquarters!
However, they couldn't stop the two villains.
"Form up and prepare to meet the enemy!"
"yes!"
The soldiers held their weapons tightly as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
Maude fell from the air on the bow of Canet's ship, looking down at the armored soldiers on the deck.
His eyes flashed past, and finally stopped on the face of Felton, who was not wearing a helmet.
Among the soldiers, this man with rough features was the only one who looked like a weakling.
Lafayette folded his wings and landed next to Maude.
Wow!
The soldiers raised their standard spears and pointed them diagonally at Maude and Lafayette on the bow.
"Hoo ho, the momentum is good."
Lafayette's eyes were indifferent.
Maud pulled out the Chidori and raised his gaze slightly, seeing fully armed soldiers filing out of the cabin.
At this time, the sailing speed of the king ship was decreasing.
After the soldiers were assembled, Felton raised his saber high and shouted: "Attack!"
"attack!"
"attack!"
"attack!"
The soldiers aggressively attacked Maude and Lafayette on the bow.
However, only after a real fight will the soldiers understand what the gap is.
Maude and Lafayette each rushed into the enemy camp, causing a bloody storm.
The strong armor could not stop their slashes at all.
Twenty minutes later.
The battle is over.
Felton lay in a pile of corpses, half of his face covered in blood.
He's not dead yet.
Maud removed the hunter's note, raised the Chidori, and pointed at Felton's neck.
Felton's blood-stained face turned ferocious as he growled: "If you dare to take action against the royal families of the participating countries, the World Government will not let you go!"
"oh."
Maud stabbed Felton in the neck.
Felton whined, then fell silent for a moment.
After collecting Felton's experience points, Maude put away her knife and walked towards the cabin.
Lafayette glanced at Felton's body with a smile, and followed Maud closely.
The two of them walked into the cabin one after another, and the smell of money immediately hit their faces.
Looking at the extremely luxurious decoration in the cabin, Maude sighed: "As expected of a royal family, they are really willing to spend money."
"There are more people in the cabin than expected."
Lafayette scanned the cabin with his sense of knowledge and found that there were nearly five hundred people on board.
Excluding the corpses of soldiers on the deck outside, this number is a bit abnormal.
After hearing this, Maud also used his sense of sight to roughly sense the amount of breath in the cabin.
"It's indeed a bit more."
Maude looked towards a room not far away.
There were fifty or sixty auras in that room alone.
"Go over and have a look."
Maude came to the door of the room and pushed the door open directly.
This is a magnificent room.
On the left side of the room, against the wall, there is a set of tables and chairs inlaid with gold and engraved with silver.
On the table were half-eaten dishes and a wine flask from which the wine was leaking.
Many exquisite hand crossbows can be seen on the ground and even on chairs.
On the right side of the room against the wall, there are white wooden crosses standing there. There are twelve in total, arranged in a straight line.
On each cross is a naked man and woman tied up, with numerous small sleeve arrows stuck on their bodies.
Streams of blood flowed out from where the sleeve arrow had penetrated, and fell to the ground along the body, forming a pool of blood.
As long as you carefully observe the sleeve arrows, you will find that most of the sleeve arrows avoid vital points and gather on the limbs of these people. You can even see a few sleeve arrows nailed to the fingers.
Not far from the cross, there are two iron-bar cells.
There were more than twenty adult men and a dozen adult women detained inside.
Without exception, they huddled in the corner of the cell and shivered.
"These people...are slaves?"
Maude frowned, glanced coldly under one of the tables, and then walked towards the nearest cross.
On top of it, a woman with her head lowered and her breath weak was tied up.
"Kill me... kill me..."
After getting closer, Maude heard a woman's voice muttering to herself, like a mosquito buzzing, repeating the same sentence over and over again.
Maude's eyes swept over the woman's bloody body.
Sixty-two.
This is the number of sleeve arrows on a woman's body.
Maude looked at the sleeve arrows silently, and probably guessed what was going on.
