Chapter 452: Chapter 273 - The Declaration of War from Cross Island 6353_1

On the sea, a pirate ship bearing a skull black flag was chasing a single-masted smuggler’s ship. The pirates on the ship’s deck were jeering at the pursued smuggler’s ship.

"As long as you stop, we’ll only rob you, not kill you, we will maroon you on some island."

"If you don’t stop, when we catch up, it will result in the massacre of your entire ship!"

"Stop right now, you have nowhere to run, with your broken ship, we can easily smash it."

Upon hearing these words, a look of despair appeared on the faces of the six crewmembers on the smuggler’s ship.

Because they understood the pirates’ ruthlessness, everything they said was true.

Even if they agreed to the pirates and stopped, the pirates might not keep their word and give them hope of survival.

Especially with two women on board.

The sailors and captain all looked at two girls hidden under the deck of the smuggler ship, in the cabin. The two girls had similar faces, only one was wearing a light goose yellow dress, her hair jewelry, though not expensive, were all sparkling brand new tin hairpins.

The other girl, on the other hand, was dressed in coarse clothes, like a servant’s dress.

Obviously, there was a disparity in the social status between the two girls; one was a servant, and the other was a rich lady.

However, at the moment, regardless of who was richer or poorer, both girls, who were about twelve or thirteen, were paralyzed with fear.

The captain shouted at the girl in the light goose yellow dress in the cabin, "Miss, the pirate ship is getting closer and closer."

"We’re finished. Completely finished, you shouldn’t have secretly boarded our ship. Now, I can’t take responsibility for your Fowall family!"

"Oh, God, I can’t imagine what would happen if you fell into their hands."

In the cabin, Juno Fowall was also in a panic. In her fear, she ferociously glared at her personal maid, Alabi, who was next to her. She even started swearing, blaming everything on the young maid.

"This is all your fault. You have to help me solve this problem."

"The dresses, the jewelry, I’m giving it all to you now. Take the gowns and tell the pirates that you are Juno Fowall."

The little servant Alabi looked at her in panic. "You know, this is not an issue of identity. In the eyes of those pirates, our identities are all the same, we are all lambs waiting to be slaughtered."

They both looked at the pirate ship behind them, which was gradually closing in on them. Suddenly from that pirate ship, two iron chains with hooks were thrown out, the chains hooked onto the deck of their smuggler ship, damaging the deck and then fiercely pulled, which momentarily caused their smuggler ship to dangerously tilt backward.

But when the ship stabilized again, the relentless pursuing pirate ships finally caught up.

The captain of the smuggler’s ship and another apprentice knight swung one-handed swords, attempting to sever the iron chains. But the chains emitted a faint light, the light was like a vortex in the sea, deep and profound.

A gloomy gas appeared on the lock—3.

The apprentice knight sailor’s became pale. "This is a type 3 pirate ship component. Damn pirates, they didn’t sell this thing on the black market, instead using it on their own ship. It makes sense; this component is very suitable for catching merchant ships at sea."

"Whoever gets it will not easily sell it unless the person doesn’t go out to sea."

The captain despaired, "It’s over, really over. Wait... there’s a two-masted ship over there, with no black flag on it, they are not pirate ships. Let’s jump into the sea and swim to the vicinity of that ship, we will ask that ship for help..."

"They are still coming towards us, they must be trying to rescue us, thank god! We’re saved."

The sailors and the two girls on board all seemed to have found a savior.

The sailors attempted to signal for help while waving to the merchant ship racing over from the distance. When they discovered the merchant ship had arrived in front of them, their faces were filled with joy, they thought the people on that ship were really brave.

Despite seeing a pirate ship chasing them, they still dared to come directly.

Originally, their plan was to abandon the ship and escape by jumping into the sea if the other party could get a little closer.

The captain let out a joyous cry. "We’re here! Everyone prepare to abandon ship."

The captain pulled Miss Fowall over, intending to protect her as they dove into the sea, but no one cared about the little girl named Alabi.

The little girl named Alabi, her face flushed, was about to run to the edge of the ship’s deck on her own, but after only a few steps, she bumped into a middle-aged sailor.

The sailor impatiently shoved her aside, "Get out of the way!"

Alabi fell onto the deck. She wanted to explain something, but before she could speak, the sailors and the captain exclaimed in horror, "Wait, why is the two-masted sailboat over there bypassing us, what are they doing?"

"Weren’t they here to save us? They bypassed us..."

"Be careful, they are firing directly at the pirate ship and heading toward the pirate ship!"
