king of the castle

Chapter 328

Roger can say such words with confidence, naturally because the Hippogryph has followed the pirate ship to find their lair. 【】

After listening to Roger's words, Robert no longer insisted on returning to the voyage. Anyway, it only takes half a day to go forward. There is no need to argue with a nobleman over such a trivial matter.So Robert, after a hasty salute to Roger, left his cabin to cheer up the sailors on board.

"Cowardly guy..." After Robert left the cabin, Roger whispered disdainfully.

Although the captain of the Queen Mary also wanted to be Roger's confidant, this guy was too timid, which was a big disadvantage when Roger came.Roger's other subordinates are all very courageous people, not to mention Bonnie, Chris and other knights, even the personal maid came out with him from the Lund Peninsula surrounded by undead creatures of.So in Roger's eyes, compared with them, this Robert is indeed a cowardly guy.

Roger didn't intend to argue with Robert about his guts, and soon turned his attention to Pirate Island.He sent the Hippogryph to fly closer to the island through a mental connection, so that he could get a better look at the pirate's lair.

From the sky, this is a large island. There is a volcano emitting white smoke in the center of the island, and most of the surrounding areas are steep cliffs.There is a bay on the south side of Pirate Island. Many large and small ships are moored in the bay, and there are at least forty or fifty ships in number.Although the pirates dispatched a large number of troops to attack Kent Town before, they obviously have not yet reached the point of doing their best.

This discovery gave Roger deep comfort in his decision to eradicate the pirates.If you don't follow the pirate ship to find their lair, these guys will definitely make a comeback in the future.However, it is impossible for Kent Town to be in a state of readiness for a long time to guard against pirates. If these guys suddenly appear, they will definitely cause huge losses.

"Oh, I'm really good, prophet!" Roger said triumphantly to himself, and at the same time let the hippogryph continue to descend, wondering if there were any pirates on those ships.

Roger found that the Hippogryph didn't listen to his command very much, and seemed unwilling to get too close to the island.This phenomenon has never been encountered before, and it also surprised Roger.But he didn't think too much, and forced the Hippogryph to fly to the island.

As Roger's familiar, Hippogryph disobeyed his orders and reluctantly lowered his height.At this moment, Roger suddenly had a warning sign in his heart. Before he could react, he felt a sudden sharp pain in his head, and his eyes went dark, and he lost contact with the hippogryph.

This sudden accident made Roger stagger and almost fell to the ground.He hastened to hold on to the table in front of him to avoid falling, and it took him a while to recover from the terrible dizziness.

"What's going on?" Roger immediately asked Castle Hub just as he came back to his senses, "Why did this happen?"

"That hippogryph was killed." Castle Hub replied with a heavy tone: "You happened to gather your spirit to connect with it, so you suffered the backlash of the spiritual connection. Fortunately, your mental power is strong enough, so this backlash didn't happen. What harm can it do?"

Knowing that the accident just now did no harm to him, Roger couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, but another worry quickly surfaced in his mind: the Hippogryph was still at a high altitude when it was killed, obviously it wasn't the pirates who killed it. hand.What kind of terrifying existence exists on this small island, which can destroy the monsters flying in the sky?

Roger frowned and thought for a long time, and finally slapped the table in front of him heavily and said to himself: "It doesn't matter, let's wipe out the pirates first. Since the pirates can use this small island as a base, there should be no danger on it." .”

What Roger didn't know was that maybe his test made sense under normal circumstances, but this time it was completely wrong.But this misjudgment almost put Roger in a situation where he could never recover.

Although this small disturbance made Roger a little uneasy, the Queen Mary continued to move forward according to the original plan.By the morning of the next day, we were already on the sea very close to the pirate island.

At this time, the uneasy Robert came to Roger again.With the lessons learned from last time, Robert seemed more cautious this time, and said to Roger with a smile on his face: "My lord, the sailors looking forward found a small island ahead."

"Well, that's the lair of the pirates." Roger nodded and said, "Let the Queen Mary go at full speed!"

Robert knew in his heart that he shouldn't talk too much, but he still couldn't help asking: "Then... where are our reinforcements?"

"What kind of reinforcements, we're just a boat!" Roger's answer made Robert pale with shock, his feet were so weak that he couldn't even stand up.

What a joke, dare to attack the base camp of the Red Dragon Pirates with only one merchant ship, this is simply asking for a dead end!Even if the ship is equipped with a ballista, it is impossible to be the opponent of so many pirates.At this time, Robert really regretted it to death, hated himself for wanting to be Roger's confidant, and followed him to this ghost place in a daze.This lord is simply a lunatic, and following him will only cost his life.

"I can't go to die!" At this moment, Robert couldn't care less about ingratiating Roger, he walked out of the cabin and said to himself: "I must go back immediately..."

Before Robert finished speaking, Roger had already slashed his neck heavily, and the timid captain immediately fell limply to the ground.This blow was enough to make Robert unconscious for several days. Roger didn't even give him a second glance, and directly closed the hatch and went to the deck.

The other sailors didn't know what happened to Robert, and when they saw the lord coming out, they all saluted Roger.To these sailors, a baronial lord is a very important person.What's more, everyone still remembers the fact that Roger easily eliminated so many pirates on the Tula River, so they naturally respect him more.

"From now on, I will take over the Queen Mary. All those who obey me will get a lot of money and the status of permanent residents of Kent Town after returning to land." Roger knew that the most important thing at this critical moment is to grasp the right The control of the Queen Mary, so the sailors were immediately offered enough attractive conditions.

Those sailors were not idiots, as soon as they heard Roger's words, they knew that the lord must have fallen out with the captain.It stands to reason that they should swear to the death to defend Robert's power and resolutely oppose Roger taking over the Queen Mary.However, Robert is usually very harsh on his opponents, and the sailors have been dissatisfied with him for a long time. In addition, the conditions offered by Roger are too tempting, so several sailors hesitated for a while and quickly raised their hands and said: " We are willing to obey the orders of the adults."

Now that someone has started, it is easier for others to make a choice.Soon most of the sailors expressed their obedience to Roger, and a few of Robert's confidants saw that the general trend was over, and followed the trend and did not oppose Roger's decision.

Roger was very satisfied with the reaction of the sailors, and at the same time secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Although Roger could easily kill these sailors, he couldn't control such a large ship by himself.Now that the sailors had expressed their support for Roger, he had no need to worry about it.

"Mr. First Mate, you are now the captain of the Queen Mary!" Roger asked the first mate to take Robert's place, and then ordered loudly: "The direction is straight ahead, go at full speed!"

The sailors were encouraged by the rich reward promised by Roger, and they steered the Queen Mary to sail forward.As the small island on the sea level became clearer, the Queen Mary was finally discovered by the pirate ships patrolling the periphery.

To be honest, the discovery of a merchant ship so close to the base really surprised the pirates.This is the depths of the Ocean of Exhaustion, and it is not a place where merchant ships should come.As long as you have a little brain, you can guess that the appearance of this ship nearby is definitely not accidental.The pirates on the patrol boat immediately warned the other pirates. The two magic fireworks rushed into the air and exploded suddenly, which could be seen clearly even in daytime.

The alarm immediately caused the pirate island to explode.The pirates yelled and rushed to their respective ships, preparing for the voyage in a hurry.This island is the base camp of the Red Dragon Pirates, and the pirates have been hiding most of the looted property on this island.If someone finds this place, it will be a big trouble for the Red Dragon Pirates, so almost all the pirates are mobilized, vowing to wipe out the merchant ship that broke into their territory.

Soon the pirate ships sailed out of the bay one by one, and rushed towards the Queen Mary like a pack of wolves.Although the pirates lost most of their strength in the battle against Kent Town, there were not a few ships remaining in the base.Forty to fifty ships flying the flag of the Red Dragon Pirates were approaching on the sea. The masts in the forest were as dense as the forest, and the momentum was indeed somewhat terrifying.

The sailors didn't know that the small island in front of them was actually the old nest of the Red Dragon Pirates. At this time, they suddenly saw so many pirate ships, and they would inevitably feel very scared.Billy, the first mate who had just been promoted to captain, was rather courageous. Although his face was not very good, he still gave orders loudly, directing the sailors to do their jobs well.

"Well... this guy is quite interesting." Nodding secretly to express satisfaction with Billy's performance, Roger said loudly: "Keep on course, just follow my orders, I guarantee you are all right!"

Roger's words somewhat relieved the sailors, after all, his performance on the Tula River was obvious to all.With his encouragement, the Queen Mary braved the wind and waves and rushed towards the pirate fleet, turning back like a moth rushing to a fire.
