Chapter 20 Turnaround
Time passed slowly, and the Gini natives who surrounded the merchant ships were still taking turns to attack tirelessly.
Link rested on the mast, and he was puzzled by the behavior of these Ginis.
"Are these guys not tired? Are they not afraid of death?"
From the beginning of the battle to the present, the indigenous people have left at least a thousand lives under the merchant ship, but the battle still has no end.
"Who knows, these black-skinned monkeys are so capable of surviving, and they are everywhere in this sea area."
Captain Parker is in his forties and is busy with the sailors, and has to find ways to get the ship out of trouble. He is exhausted both physically and mentally. At this moment, the situation has stabilized slightly, and finally he can't hold on to the mast to rest.
Link looked at the frigates who were being chased by rafts in the distance and were desperately fleeing, and suddenly thought of another terrible question: "We have so many Gini people, so why aren't Miluo Island more?"
He glanced at Link: "The Miluo Island was the territory of these indigenous peoples. After Duke Louis's army cleared them, they opened plantations, sugarcane, cotton, and food on the island."
‘Clean it? Isn’t this a bloody colonization? There is indeed no good person in these great nobles.’
"And what? These natives didn't come back after revenge?"
"Then within a month, Miluo Island was surrounded by the natives."
"A whole thousand fully armed troops were told to the island."
Parker sighed.
"I was carrying the reinforcements fleet at that time, and after I went to the island, I vomited thousands of corpses, just piled up on the island, vultures and crows that covered the sky and the sun...."
It seemed that he didn't want to recall that terrible scene, so Parker stopped and didn't say anything more.
"Why did that island be redeveloped later?"
"The Kinis are here to grab food, and they grab everything they can eat."
"Later, the island stopped growing food. The natives came to rob it twice and found that there was no food, so they never came again."
"So the food on the island is transported all by fleets?"
Link remembered the cargo hold, which was mostly filled with food.
"The island's crops are ripe four times a year, so the fleet has to go at least four times, this is the last time this year."
After thinking about it, Captain Parker frowned: "There is something wrong this time. Although the fleet would have been surrounded by these Gini people in the past, it is not as exaggerated this time. How did they know that there was food on the ship?"
"This is not simple. It is obvious that there are so many people on Miluo Island and they don't grow food. What should I eat if I don't rely on shipment?"
Parker shook his head: "Although this sea area is full of Gini people, they all belong to different tribes. It is still a distance from Miluo Island. There is no reason to be ambushed in advance. There is definitely a problem here."
Not interested in Parker's "conspiracy theory", Link just wanted to get out of this ghost place as soon as possible.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Link heard the faint shouts of natives under the ship.
He picked up a skinned round shield again, held his hands close to the side of the ship, and looked around with a tentative probe.
This time he was not attacked. He took a bold look down at the boat and found that the rafts surrounding the boat had been greatly reduced, leaving only one log scattered on the rafts that had been destroyed floating near the boat.
"Pyke! Find a way to move, the natives are running to find the escaped parrot!"
The Parrot was the frigate that had been circling from a large angle before and wanted to escape. Unfortunately, when they turned around, they were too close to the coast and seemed to have hit a reef. Now they are parked in a distant place.
After hearing this, Parker observed the surroundings and found that there were no black-skinned natives climbing up again.
He stood up from the deck like a spring, shouting loudly as the sailors raised their sails and changed directions. The bow raft was reduced. He wanted to drive the hull's weight through the wind, squeeze out the barriers on the bow, and speed the ship away.
After a while, Link, who was standing by the side of the ship, heard the sound of wood rubbing from under him. The merchant ship finally began to move!
The Vigian mercenaries and sailors around the ship also discovered a turning point.
The hope of escaping from the sky made them more striving to cut off the weapons in their hands and cut off all the lassoes on the guardrail.
Looking at the Parrot gradually disappearing from sight, surrounded by the natives, three layers inside and three layers inside and three layers outside, Link breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that I felt that the many soldiers on the deck could make me feel more secure. Captain Parker arranged the route and then went down to the deck.
"Did you just give up on it?" Link looked in the direction of the Parrot.
"What else can I say except for bad luck? We are merchant ships, the target of protection. The parrot's string is only seven meters high, so it must be beyond rescue. Didn't you see those two frigates running faster than us?"
Parker said angrily, pointing to the two frigates that were already sailing in front of the merchant ship.
Although Parker nominally has control over the frigate, his words are not that good when facing a life-and-death crisis.
Without thinking about this, Link asked the captain: "How long will it take for us to arrive?"
"I changed my route and took a little bit of it. I can't walk on the island anymore, at most one day later."
Link looked at everyone on the deck. After the battle, many Vigia mercenaries who were exhausted were sitting on the deck, and the busy sailors were cleaning the battlefield.
Most of the mercenaries had a "' symbol lit up on their heads. This hard but not tragic battle brought generous rewards - almost all mercenaries at the level 2 "Virgia Warrior" level were upgraded to a level 3 "Virgia Guardian".
‘The upper limit of Vigia’s troops and pirate troops is level 5, so in the expected future, I will have a hundred humanoid tyrannosaurus like Tony and Kenneth!’
Thinking of this, Link looked for Tony's figure in the crowd and found that he was standing in front of the Vigian mercenaries who were lying on the ground like dead dogs, without any sign of losing power. He waved the long-handed axe in his hand, showing off his lasting endurance that he had nowhere to evaporate.
Captain Parker looked at Link who was giggling at his subordinates: "You are lucky and have so many powerful subordinates."
After thinking about it, he said to this guy who had experienced life and death with him: "I would like to give you a piece of advice. The old Bob on Miluo Island is not a good person to get along with. You'd better have a team that you can rest assured."
The old Boblink mentioned by Captain Parker knew that he was the manor manager on Miluo Island and was the highest manager of Miluo Island, as well as his security manager.
"The security managers on Miluo Island have been changed several times, but the managers of the manor have always been old Bob."
"Will he exclude me? I'm afraid I will fight for power with him?"
"I didn't say that, but it was strange that your ex died."
Parker gave Link a look of "You ask for good luck."
"Haha, it's interesting."
