Chapter 219 Samara Islands
"The Blue Mermaid!"
The guard next to him shivered when he heard the name, as if a chill was rising from his back, pouring his mind all the way, causing his body to tremble faintly. This was a reaction of obvious fear.
The Blue Mermaid, this is not a strange thing to the pirates on the Ashes Sea.
You know, it is the "monarchical ship" of the Silver Moon Church. Every time they organize a hunting operation against the pirates on the Ashes Sea, the Blue Mermaid is one of the most eye-catching hunters.
There are often pirate groups famous at sea, but unfortunately they were successfully "hunting" by the Ghost Blue Mermaid.
If you give an example of this, it is that on Earth in Surman's previous life, every time he cracked down on pornography and illegal activities, some special troops made the violators frightened, which was almost the same truth. Of course, the Silver Moon Church in the Eternal Night World may not be the side of justice, and the pirates on the Sea of Ashes are not all full of evil. In the sea with special circumstances, there is no black or white force.
Some pirates, another identity is the chamber of commerce forces in the Rage Shark Harbor, some pirates are thugs raised by noble forces, spokespersons on the Ashes Sea, some pirates, and even insiders inserted in the Church of the Lord...... The entire pirate group cannot define their black and white.
In short, the Blue Mermaid is very well-known among the pirate group. After all, the Silver Moon Church only controls two ancient sea ships. In most cases, they rely on steam ships to hunt.
At this moment, the Blue Mermaid was approaching them. You can imagine how shocked the two guards were:
"This... this is the flag of the Silver Moon Church, and the believers of the Silver Moon Church are carried on that ship!"
"No, is it the Silver Moon Church going to attack the Samara Islands?"
"Calm down, this is the place where the Aquaman Conference is held. The great King of the Gray Sea is on the top of the archipelago behind us! Even if there is an attack from the Silver Moon Church, they should consider it a little."
"The King of the Gray Sea is in charge on the Samara Islands, and the four sea lords..."
With the rapid exchanges between the two on duty, their nervous hearts gradually calmed down.
Yes! This is the Samara Islands. It’s not when they were staying on the boat. When they suddenly saw the Blue Mermaid on the sea, they probably would have to escape from the "Five Sea Lords" level figures.
It is completely different at this moment. They are leaning against the pirates' base camp, and they are still the Sea King Conference held every year, where all the elites on the sea gather here. In this case, even if the temple of the Silver Moon Church comes out in full bloom, they have to consider whether they can defeat them.
What's more, the Silver Moon Hall is not set up in the cold soil in the north...
Thinking of this, the two guards were a little relieved, but they were still very nervous. This was the influence of the evil name of the "Niu Blue Mermaid".
So, with uneasiness, the two looked at the sea again. The next moment, they discovered something strange on the "Green Blue Mermaid". The ancient sea boat was tied... a large number of iron locks? The two looked carefully and found that the tail of the iron lock was connected to other ships. There was a sea boat on each side of the "Green Blue Mermaid", dragging it.
The appearance of the Mermaid was so eye-catching that the two ignored the surroundings. After a new observation, they were shocked to find the situation of the Mermaid, which looked like a hostage that had been "hijacked"? This seems to be different from their judgment!
"It's not that I was dazzled..."
"No, you are definitely not dazzled because I saw the problem on that boat, too."
The two guards put down their telescopes and looked at each other. At the same time, an extremely terrifying guess appeared in their hearts, but in line with the current facts. The "Ghost Blue Mermaid" was not controlled by the people of the Silver Moon Church. On the contrary, the ghost ship that made them frightened has become the spoils of others!
Which pirate group on the Ashes Sea did a good job? The two of them responded with awe and hurriedly looked for clues. Then, they saw the steam ship next to them and the ancient sea ship with a "black cross" hanging on the other side on the telescope.
"This... this is what the Black Cross did, they captured the 'Niu Blue Mermaid'!"
"How did they do it? The Black Cross... Their captain, Hong Qiangwei, is quite famous, but the strength of the Black Cross, including the captain, only three powerful people at the level of the "Absolute Order Councilors" should be used."
"Even if the two ancient sea ships of the Silver Moon Church are slightly lower than the other Dark Moon, they do not need to have the hand-logan certification of the Dawn Strong, but they have to take at least 7 more than 'Absolute Orders' to hunt... This is twice the size of the Black Cross. How do they hunt in reverse?!"
The two guards were stunned. Everything went against their inherent cognition. At least in the pirate circle, except for the "Five Sea Lords", no pirate group has the strength to hunt the "Ghost Blue Mermaid" in reverse!
But the facts are placed before them and there is no refutation.
"what to do?"
The guard holding a telescope in front murmured to his companion.
"What can we do? Do you want to stop the Black Cross people from entering the port?"
Another companion asked back, and immediately made the on-duty person tremble. The pirate group that captured the "Niu Blue Mermaid" was definitely not something they could afford to provoke. In an instant, the two of them confirmed their thoughts by just eye contact.
"Let it go immediately and don't provoke the Black Cross!"
"Also, pass this news immediately so that the idiots on the archipelago should pay attention to it. Never provoke people from the Black Cross. It is very likely that they will always hide their strength!"
"Unless, someone feels that they can deal with the 'Niu Blue Mermaid' and are qualified to provoke the Black Cross......"
The front guard put down his telescope, picked up the conch hanging on his body, put it to his mouth, and sneered: "Of course, there is no shortage of idiots in this world. I hope someone collects corpses for them and makes our work easier."
After saying that, the guard blew the conch, then coughed a few times, and used the code words to convey his message.
............
The salty and wet sea breeze with a faint fishy smell blew on the face, bringing a unique feeling.
At this moment, Surman was standing on the pole, looking at the outline of the archipelago in front of him, and beside him, a pirate was working in an orderly manner, preparing for the docking matters according to his post.
"Big... First mate, we are less than ten miles away from the coastline, and the Samara Islands are ahead."
A tall and thin pirate with a cunning look came forward to report the situation to Surman. His name is Laurie. Like most ship pirates, he has undergone hard training, but he is not an extraordinary person.
At the same time, Laurie was also the original first lieutenant faction. After the "first lieutenant" was replaced by Surman, these people needed to obey his instructions. In other words, Surman is currently their immediate superior.
"I understand, go and tell others to prepare to land."
Surman had a capitalist style from his previous life. As soon as he spoke, he threw his affairs to his subordinates. However, Laurie had no complaints on his face, but instead said excitedly: "Yes, I'll inform them immediately."
After saying that, Laurie did not leave immediately, but a trace of "obvious" hesitation passed through his face. Seeing this, Surman's brow raised slightly, and he asked him with a calm tone: "Do you have anything else?"
"First mate, I...I have to remind you." Laurie immediately changed his expression, looking quite sincere, and with an unconcealed compliment: "Since you have become the new first mate, Mr. Hornby is no longer the first mate. He and Felix, the second mate, were originally very inconsistent, but the main reason for their rivalry is your position as the first mate."
"So, what do you want to tell me?" Surman followed the other person's words and asked.
"Felix, Mr. Second Deputy may not be very cooperative with your existence... Of course, he dare not conflict with you directly. It may be that some tasks issued by the captain will give you some minor stutters." Laurie leaned over, hesitated, and finally said what he said in his heart: "After all, you are not the first mate, and you don't know enough about your subordinates..."
"Why isn't the person who makes trouble for me?" Surman found it interesting and asked the other party.
"Because he dared not resist the captain's orders... In fact, Felix did not dare to act openly, at most he could make a little trip behind his back to discredit your image in the captain's heart... By the way! You have to be careful of the third deputy, he is not a simple person either." Laurie answered truthfully. After saying that, he lowered his head, as if waiting for the other party's judgment.
Hiss, you betrayed the original boss...Surman immediately had a clear understanding of the pirates' integrity, but this did not prevent him from accepting the other party's "rejection".
So Surman nodded and said, "You go find a few trustworthy people and hold a private party. In addition, I need a detailed list of the members on the ship, and it is best to list all their job positions, personal abilities and daily personalities for me."
Holding a cocktail party is a traditional etiquette among pirates, similar to the wine table culture that a certain country on earth has. If a cocktail party is held by a colleague on the boat, it means to "form a clique"...Surman's meaning is also very obvious, and this sentence makes Laurie's face look happy.
"Okay, I will not let you down." Laurie hurriedly promised, although he didn't understand what the new chief mate's second request meant, asking for a list of personnel on the ship? However, this did not prevent him from faithfully implementing the other party's request.
Surman watched Laurie get off the cabin and raised his eyebrows slightly.
It seems that the pirate faction on the Red Rose is more complicated than he imagined under Silwei's intentional indulgence. Not only does it have a clear struggle between the first mate and the second mate, but even the third mate who has always kept a low profile is not as uncontested as the world.
but........
Surman didn't care about these trivial matters at all.
Because they made a mistake, that is their relationship with Sylvie.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, he was favored by Silvi, and became the first mate on the ship. However, Silvi could favor him and also alienate him because of certain things. The temporary favor would change.
Just like the scene they saw in the conference room, it was like a favored "companion", including other pirates on the ship, probably thinking so. They would envy Surman's treatment, but due to the captain's existence, they did not dare to resist blatantly, and could only sneak in, and once they found an opportunity, they would sow discord and try to differentiate the relationship between the two.
The first mate and second mate can accept that the captain is single all the time, but cannot accept that she has a partner and let the other party occupy their status on the ship. This is even more excessive than the "husband's current crime". In addition, some people still have a little fantasy in their hearts, thinking that the captain is confused, which is also one of the main reasons.
After all, the idea of "I can do it too, I can" is no exception for everyone in every world, and it is one of the illusions of life that everyone will have.
But they made a mistake. The relationship between Surman and their captain was not the imagined "love at first sight". The two have known each other for more than ten years, knowing each other's roots well, and the intimate relationship they grew up together.
In this case, no matter how little they use small means, it will not affect the relationship between Surman and her.
To give an exaggerated example, Surman killed someone on the ship without reason, killing his old subordinate who had been following Sylvie for several years. At that moment, Sylvie's choice was to help him clean up the scene and kill the old subordinate's relatives and friends together.
To avoid the other party leaving behind future troubles for Surman and endangering the safety of his only relative, this is Sylvi’s choice.
If necessary, even Silvi abandoned his entire ship's subordinates, including the Black Cross's power territories, in exchange for Surman's safety alone, and I'm afraid she would not hesitate.
so........
From the beginning, both sides were not in the same position. The so-called conspiracy was not placed in the eyes of Surman at all, because he did not need to pay attention to the other party, even if he "makes" a mistake and fails to perform his responsibilities as the first deputy.........
Silvie would forgive him, too.
He will also help him wipe his butt!
Since that's the case, what else does Surman need to care about? So he asked Laurie to deal with it by himself, whether the other party was the first lieutenant's confidant, deliberately provoking his relationship with the second lieutenant, or Laurie, as the second lieutenant's confidant, played a double-faced spy in front of him.
Even the people sent by the third lieutenant actively conveyed the wrong information......Surman didn't care at all. He felt a sense of pleasure that looked at you "stop doing it as fierce as a tiger", but it would not affect his own slightest.
"I hope their little moves will be more interesting..." Surman looked at the archipelago that was getting closer and closer, and was about to open the panel and hand over the first ring task of the "Black Cross" to get the reward. Suddenly, gentle words came from his ears-
"What are you looking at?"
