On the Seven Towers

Huang Zheng stood on the boat and looked up at the behemoth in front of him. The gun barrels, which were thicker than the mouth of a bowl, looked very ferocious from this angle. Just when they were approaching the battleship, a triple main gun suddenly opened fire. The loud sound made Huang Zheng couldn't help but tremble. Behind him were Mr. Bruders and two marines rowing the boat. They were also shocked by the sound of the artillery. Bruders had never heard the roar of a cannon at such a close position, and the two marines even forgot to paddle for a moment.

Of course the artillery was not aimed at Hou Yi and the others. Instead, three water columns exploded on the sea in the distance, but the meaning of this shelling was also very clear. It was a kind of shock.

The boat came to the side of the Red Cloud, and the sailors lowered the rope ladder from the boat. Huang Zheng did not use the flying technique, but climbed up the rope ladder. Bruders followed behind him.

Two Marines tied the boat to the larger ship and climbed aboard after him.

Huang Zheng stepped onto the deck of the Red Cloud and found a group of gun-wielding soldiers guarding both sides of the deck. A man who looked like an officer in his thirties was waiting for his arrival.

After the officer saw Huang Zheng's appearance clearly, he was obviously a little surprised. There were very few people with black hair and black eyes in the Western Continent, and Huang Zheng's appearance seemed very special to him. Huang Zheng's clothing is also very different from the locals. He wears a navy coat and a large-brimmed hat, which gives people a very heroic feeling.

Huang Zheng made a military salute and said: "I am Huang Zheng, colonel commander of the Marine Corps from the Tower of China in the Eastern Continent. This time I am here as an envoy to meet the captain of the Red Cloud."

"What? From the Eastern Continent? Marine Corps Colonel? Are you kidding? Aren't you the pirates who hijacked a cruise ship and came here to negotiate?" The officer said with obvious distrust in his tone, "The nearest The pirates on the outer islands have begun to operate again. These scum have acquired some old and broken ships, and installed some steam engines and old cannons just to challenge our authority. I think your ships look very similar."

Houyi and Xingtian had already opened their gun doors at this time, so as not to be caught off guard if they needed to fight. So it is somewhat similar to the modified pirate ship that the officer said.

At this time, Bruders, who was behind Huang Zheng, said: "Mr. Officer, I am Bruders, the secretary of Sage Misael, and I have an acquaintance with His Excellency Montaño, the naval commander of Ayre City. I can Prove that this gentleman is telling the truth. They came from the Eastern Continent across the Devil's Sea, and they have a very important message to inform us. The evil god who has been sleeping on that continent for many years must unite the two. The forces of the whole continent come together to fight against him.”

He saw the officer looking at him suspiciously. Then he argued: "You can take a look at the appearance of Mr. Huang Zheng. Do we have such a person in the entire Western Continent? Look at those two ships. As a navy, you should be most familiar with ships. Have you ever been on the ship? Have you seen a ship of this style in the Western Continent? Have you seen the white light curtain on the ship? Some of them can do evil without using the power of the devil, but with the devils. fighting."

Bruders is very eloquent and the points he made are hard to refute. The officer asked: "How did you meet them?"

"What should I call you?" Bruders asked.

"I am the captain of the Red Cloud, Esselit." The officer said with his hands behind his back: "Although your identity and purpose of coming are very suspicious, we still give you a chance to explain the specific situation. Right here."

Bruders said: "Mr. Esselit, the Ayr's Shield cruise ship I took aboard encountered these ships from the East on the route. They had just come out of the Devil's Sea a few days ago. Their purpose of coming was just I have explained it. I think this matter is very important, so I promised to guide them and report their situation to the sages and saints. Now that the Red Cloud is involved in this matter, we hope you will. If you can bring us into Hong Kong, I will take these people to have a good talk with the mayor."

Eselit said: "Mr. Bruders, please do not interfere with our military's decision. The navy has the responsibility to protect the entire Western Continent. Regarding this group of people who claim to be from the Eastern Continent... are they a threat? What should be done? It’s up to me to decide.”

Bruders hit a snag and looked a little ugly, but since the warship was the opponent's territory, there was nothing he could do. But he still warned: "I will watch here, Mr. Esselit. Now we have a good start with these visitors from the east. Don't mess it up."

Eselit ignored him and said to Huang Zheng: "Although this person said he has proved it for you, it is not enough. Even if I believe you are from the Eastern Continent, what evidence do you have to prove what you said? Are these words about gods and seeking support true? How do you prove that you don’t have other ideas about the Western Continent?”

Ethelite paused: "We don't know much about the Eastern Continent, and there are widespread rumors among the people that many of you are contaminated by the power of the devil. So it is impossible for me to put your ship into the port. If you are really important, The important people must be reported. Your ship must be seized by our navy, and your people must disembark and be monitored by us before we can allow you to send representatives to meet with those important people."

Huang Zheng shook his head slowly to the other party's excessive demands and said, "You are not treating potential partners like this, but rather treating prisoners like this. Who gave you the courage to say that?"

Eselite smiled coldly and said, "Of course it's strength. I believe that in this world, whether in the East Continent or the West Continent, strength speaks. Our strength is stronger than yours, so naturally we will decide the direction of things going forward."

Broods warned, "Mr. Eselite, please don't talk like this. You are exacerbating the conflict, which is very dangerous. You don't know what kind of abilities these people in the Tower of China have."

Eselite patted the main gun beside him and said: "Strength is naturally reflected by the caliber of the cannon. In this regard, we have a much greater advantage."

Huang Zheng then looked up in the direction of Houyi and said: "Strength is not something that can be expressed by words. Let's witness how strong each of us is?"

Eselite frowned and said: "What do you mean?"

Huang Zheng said: "Just now my companion informed me that we found four real pirate ships in the southwest, chasing two merchant ships. They are coming in our direction and will pass by us to the south. How about using these four pirate ships as targets for comparison?"
