Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 162 Chasing at Sea

Eventually Owen decided to let the people from Queen's Island aboard because he was curious about what had just happened.

If it was the previous world, even if he was curious, Owen would choose to endure it, because the water in that world was too deep, and with his small body, even Emile couldn't reach him, so how dare he swim casually.

It's different here, the water is shallow and there are many bastards, but there are no predators. Even if you accidentally miss it, you will be bitten by a bastard, and you will turn your face and chop up the stew.

It's just that what Owen didn't expect was that all the people who came here were women, even soldiers.

It is not that there are no men in Queen's Island, but men are only responsible for production and production, and it is entirely up to women to show their faces and fight. Therefore, the dozen or so people who came to Queen's Island are all women, and ten of them are soldiers with muskets on their backs and short swords. The following are civil servants and maids, and the leader is a mature female nobleman in her 30s.

What's interesting is that the people of Queen's Island have an incomprehensible hobby for leather clothes. No matter the soldiers or the nobles at the head, they all wear leather clothes of various colors, and the higher the status, the more exquisite and close-fitting the leather clothes. Owen couldn't help but take a few more glances.

No way, the sailboat does not have stairs that can be lowered to allow people to walk up step by step. Apart from the rope ladder, the most convenient thing is the rope net.

The rope net made of thick hemp rope is very strong, the grid is very large, and it can be easily climbed up, but don't expect it to be very elegant in movements, no matter how ladylike you are, you have to pout your buttocks and twist your hips up. Climbing, it just so happens that Owen has good eyesight.

"Do people in Queen's Island have higher status as they turn up from behind?" Owen murmured, and then came back to his senses.

Thinking of this, Owen returned to the captain's room and waited for the other party to come to see him. After all, the other party was the one who wanted something from others.

However, Owen forgot that women have the biggest fists in Queen's Island. His behavior obviously annoyed the other party. After all, in the eyes of people in Queen's Island, he is just a pirate leader, so he has no identity at all.

But the existence of the Galewind calmed down the angry Abigail a lot. She stopped the subordinates who were also surging with anger expressionlessly, and then let Lao Rui, who was in a cold sweat, lead the way.

Along the way, Abigail looked around and found that it was obviously a new ship. The rows of cannons had not even been corroded by sea water. The sailors were also composed of two parts, one part was disgusting pirates, The other part was obviously soldiers trained by the descendants of wildlings. Although they were short in stature, they had high morale and were equipped with a large number of muskets. It seemed that they were not ordinary cannon fodder.

"Captain, the envoy from Queen's Island has arrived." Lao Rui bowed his head and said in front of the door.

"Let them in." As soon as Owen's voice came, Lao Rui heaved a sigh of relief.

The people of Queen's Island are not easy to provoke, and their captain is not easy to provoke. He is an old pirate who has always suffered in the middle.

Abigail was taken aback by the young voice, and then she opened the door unceremoniously. She was about to give the other party a blow, but she froze again.

She has seen many pirates, but such a handsome pirate, no, the other party is definitely not a pirate, and his aristocratic temperament is almost more like an aristocrat than her. It is an insult to call the other party a pirate.

As for why she calls herself a pirate, Abigail can understand when she thinks about all the tricks those young nobles do.

In fact, their Queen's Island is not the same, otherwise there would be such a terrible thing.

"Your Excellency, Captain, I'm going down to Abigail, a nobleman from Queen's Island. This time I'm here to ask for help." Abigail bowed slightly to show respect. Right now I need someone.

"Eliminate the bone-eating shark or rescue the hostages." Owen said, looking at the other party playfully.

"Rescue the hostages." Abigail paused for a moment and said with a sigh.

"I'm not sure, so I can only say my best." Owen shook his head and said when he heard that it was true.

"Queen's Island will pay you handsomely for this." Of course Abigail knew how difficult it was, but thinking about the people who were taken away, she immediately promised.

"It's not a matter of remuneration. Bone Eater Sharks are a group of lunatics. Even if you can beat them, can you expect them to surrender obediently or release the hostages?" Owen asked rhetorically.

Abigail was at a loss for words, because she knew too well the madmen of Bone Eater Shark, otherwise, who would dare to kidnap people from Queen's Island so easily.

"Now we can only take one step at a time, fight first and talk later." Owen also said helplessly, unless the hairy bear rescues the hostage method, otherwise he can only be controlled by the opponent.

"Please." Abigail took a deep breath, exhaled slowly after the leather jacket on her chest made a strange noise, and said to Owen when she calmed down.

Owen nodded, and informed Lao Rui to go to Pirate Island to gather a group of people before setting sail.

It took almost two hours from the time when the people on Queen's Island boarded the boat to getting ready to set off, but the boat of the Bone Eater Shark was still within sight, so there was no problem of not being able to find people.

This is not surprising. The speed of the sailing boat is not as fast as expected. It can be said that water bikes are fine. Sometimes they set off in the morning and can still see the distant sails at the pier at noon.

Like pirates plundering, it is common for the targeted ship to catch up for two or three days.

Fortunately, the Haifeng is a new ship, and the Flying Fish is more brisk. Its speed is much faster than the two ships of the Bone Eater Shark, and it will catch up with it when it is almost dark.

"Did the bone-eating shark plunder just now?" Owen asked after seeing that the two boats of the bone-eating shark had a deep waterline.

"Yes, those lunatics originally wanted to go to Pirate Island to sell their stolen goods, but it turned out." Abigail said, her face turned ugly. Apparently, the Bone Eater saw someone and snatched him away on the spur of the moment.

"I will order to fire in a while, and try to reduce the speed of the bone-eating shark. You take advantage of the opportunity to join the gang. It is up to you whether you can save the hostages." Owen calculated the speed and said to Abigail.

"Okay." After Abigail finished speaking, she went to gather the staff.

The Flying Fish was used by Owen as a destroyer, focusing on speed and flexibility, so it was only equipped with twelve cannons, five of which were on each side, and two cannons at the bow. Watanabe, who received the semaphore, immediately ordered His gunners loaded the cannons.

The barrel of the cannon is longer, so the loading process is more cumbersome, but the speed of the shells is faster and the trajectory is more stable, which is most suitable for attacking the pursuing enemies.

Following the sound of two cannonballs, two cannonballs crossed an arc and fell into the sea, followed by a monotonous cannonball sound, with occasional hits, and the pure metal cannonballs could not exert much lethality. Spike fragments do more damage.

Owen couldn't help shaking his head when he saw this scene, but naval battles are like this. Unless everyone uses missiles to slap each other's faces, they can only play luck, and if they want to decide the outcome, they have to rely on boarding.

But the bone-eating shark who was passively beaten didn't think so. Without knowing when it would be tied into a hedgehog, who would dare to work boldly on the deck, but in order to maintain the speed, it must constantly adjust the sails, so it was inevitable Flying Fish caught up.
