……

Eden is a new jazz in the capital. He has no fiefdom and cannot be inherited to his children. He is the lowest among the nobles.

Some great nobles even believed that jazz could not be considered a noble at all, and at most they were just honorary titles.

Therefore, he showed great enthusiasm for Tifeko's blockade order. He relied on his early experience of wandering on the sea. In addition, the new king prefers to use newcomers, so he finally became the commander of an eagle-headed warship.

He believed that his advantage was that he was judging the situation. This time, the blockade of the business road was a good opportunity. Staying away from a comfortable mansion, it was naturally very difficult to wander on the boat for half a year. Generally, aristocrats were not willing to accept such a job, so they could barely get in. If they did well, they would most likely be awarded a true aristocrat.

It is easy to do well, neither the merchant ship nor the caravan will be their opponents. If the local lord sends knights to encircle and suppress the warships on the water, they will be powerless to take the warships on the water.

As long as you are not greedy, this task will be completed properly, which will satisfy His Majesty Tifeike.

Of course, how satisfied Your Majesty is also depends on the coins and goods he handed over.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the cheerful rat on the boat opposite.

Yesterday they just stopped a merchant ship with the flag of Chishui City. Although the captain repeatedly said that he was planning to go to Zhulongling, they happily swallowed the goods and killed all the people on the ship. The seized items were mainly fur and wine, and a can of golden dragon.

And these idiots actually regarded the things they confiscated as their own spoils and divided them into 50% according to the black street's industry rules.

This made Eden sneer and sneer. The rats didn't know at all. In addition to appearing and robbing, the rest of their role was to calm the anger of the local lords and wait for the rebel king Roland to be finished. The heads of these people would naturally be sent to the lord who suffered losses in trade to show His Majesty's apology.

As for the seized materials, they will undoubtedly be filled into the palace's vault.

And they actually regarded this action as a fat man, and did not notice the noose that was already hanging around their necks. This was really ironic.

Sir, there is movement ahead!The sailor in the lookout shouted.

Eden walked to the bow of the boat and frowned. He saw a string of black smoke rising from the distance, as if something was burning on the river. After a while, he faintly saw a gray approaching here.

There was no doubt that it was a ship, but he did not see the most eye-catching sail.

Is it a little fast?The deputy stared for a moment and spoke.

Eden also discovered this. Even if it was going downstream, its speed of progress was too amazing. In less than half a quarter of an hour, it changed from a thumb-sized point to a palm-sized size. And according to the distance, it was inferred much larger than that of an ordinary merchant ship.

Two other eagle-headed ships also discovered the target, and one of them swung its side oars quickly, as if they wanted to board the strange merchant ship in front of everyone.

Sir, do we want to keep up?Asked by the deputy.

Eden thought for a while, don't worry, let's take a look at the situation first.He noticed that the Eagle-headed ship behind him, commanded by Baron Derrick, was not moving, and the warship carrying rats had already set up a stance from left to right.

The ship soon became clear and clear. Eden gradually opened his mouth wide. Not only him, but there were screams on the deck, and the sailor on the mast even shouted, "Oh my God, boss, what's this thing!"

I saw that the other party's hull actually emitted a metallic luster, and it was not like a sea boat that only wrapped in copper plates at the bottom. It was full of the same color, even the strange iron tower on the hull!

The bow of its ship was like a shuttle, splitting the river in half. Just looking at the white waves that were rising against the side of the ship, you can tell how exaggerated the speed of the iron-shelled ship was.

A thick sound rolled through everyone's ears. Not only did the incoming ship not slow down, but it also deflected slightly, and hit the first eagle-headed ship that was slanted in the front!

Since the boarding battle requires the target from the side, the Eagle Head Ship has to drive diagonally first. This step is no problem with the slow merchant ship, but facing the strange iron ship that breaks through the waves, it becomes a big flaw. Before he can get the bow back, the other party has already hit the Eagle Head Ship's unprepared abdomen.

Everyone heard the crackling sound of the wood breaking, and the slender warship seemed to be slapped by a giant palm. The entire hull leaned to one side, and the side close to the water almost penetrated into the river.

The surging waves rushed onto the deck, and many people were thrown into the water directly under the violent impact.

God Ah!The deputy widened his eyes, it was for us!

Enemy attack!The sailor shouted, "Sir, the enemy attack!"

The people on the deck had already started to move, some had set up crossbows, and some were loading ammunition into the muskets.

Seeing the tower twin-gun flag flying above the iron ship, Eden swallowed and gritted his teeth and ordered, let the oarsmen move me and move closer to the shore!This is a flag I have never seen before, but he already had a guess in his heart that only the prince in the Western Region who was rumored to have a deal with the devil can create such a terrifying thing!

Not only is it huge, but it is faster than a narrow and long sailboat. This is not something that ordinary people can do!

Don't we run?The deputy asked in a trembling voice.

run?He shouted loudly, "Its speed is faster than us, where can you run?"Only by sticking close to the river bank can it prevent it from crashing. We may have the opportunity to board a ship and fight when we go around it!Damn it, go and convey my orders!

Pushing away the panicked deputy, Eden looked at the Eagle Head Boat, which was the first to suffer. His hands and feet were cold and he could imagine it even if he could not see the scene in the cabin.

The bow of the iron ship was completely inserted into the abdomen of the warship. Even if it was not divided into two, the bent narrow hull could not last long.

Those paddlers were undoubtedly the most unlucky guys. It was a good ending to be crushed by iron heads. The worst thing was that the person who was stuck in the cabin could only be choked to death by the flooded river.

The crying, yelling and tragic cries were mixed together, like a pot of boiling water. Although most of the ship was rats, the spreading fear still made him feel that the situation on both sides had turned upside down and the hunter turned into prey.

With the impact of the water flow and the sudden slowdown of the iron ship, the bent eagle-headed ship finally fell off from the enemy's head and quickly overturned. The river water poured in from the thunder, and the waves were covered with a hint of blood.

The second warship was desperately turning the bow, trying to stay away from the other party as soon as possible, but the long sound of death sounded again, and the iron ship made a deafening roar, dragging the long black smoke and began to accelerate, pounced towards the ship closest to it.
