Chapter 413 Pirates (Part 2)

"This doesn't count! Luca!" Andrew was not happy about this. He protested loudly to Luca. In his indignation, he fiercely kicked the head away.

“Boom!”

At this moment, a sudden and loud crash sounded from the hull, the entire merchant ship was shaking, and all the people on board fell to the ground because of unstable center of gravity.

The ship tilted to one side, and all the people and bodies on the deck slid toward the tilted side. The archers on the mast were in even worse condition, as the movement there was even more violent, so they simply couldn't keep their balance and slid down from there, falling into the sea like stones, splashing a lot of water.

In desperation, Luga grabbed the rope that controlled the mast, while Andrew and Belialiu each held Luga's legs, barely supporting themselves so as not to roll down like the others.

But the collision did not end there. Luca climbed up with the help of the mast and looked at the direction of the collision. It turned out that the medium-sized pirate warship hit the merchant ship. The merchant ship rolled more and more, and the people piled on the deck kept pouring into the sea like dumplings, and the splashing water covered Luca's face.

"Luga, the boat can't hold on any longer, is there any way we can do it? If we continue like this, we will all fall into the sea!" Belialiu below kept shouting at Luga, hugging Luga's legs tightly.

The combined weight of these two guys is not light. Luca's face turned red as he held the mast by himself. These two guys were too heavy, making Luca feel like his hand was not his own.

He was reluctant to part with the Dragon's Breath Sword in his hand. He endured the pain and insisted on sheathing the sword. Only in this way could he feel a little relieved.

"Oh, Luga, think of a solution quickly and don't care about the sword anymore!" Andrew protested from below, hitting Luga's leg to show his dissatisfaction.

"That's enough, Andrew!" Luca shouted from below, "This is my trophy, I got it with great difficulty, and you just want to give it up?"

"Ha, Ka, Ka"

The sound of shattering continued, and Luka looked up and saw that the broken deck was no longer sustainable. The broken deck caused the mast to start to shake. Luka realized that if the three of them continued like this, they would die at any time because of the broken mast.

In a hurry, Luca looked down and saw that next to the merchant ship was the pirate warship. There was no one on it except some sailors rowing the boat. Luca thought, if he couldn't beat the others, could he beat the sailors too?

"Hey!" Luca shouted, shaking his legs, "Let's jump together, board the pirate ship, and hold their ship hostage!"

“Haha!”

Before Andrew and Belia could nod, the mast above could no longer support the sea and all the wooden boards at the base broke. The mast slammed onto the sea like a water-stirring stick, splashing large amounts of water.

Luca and his group slid into the sea. Luca held his breath because sea water was not drinkable. He used the poor swimming skills he learned as a child to float upwards desperately. When he finally floated up, he saw people struggling in the water everywhere around him, including pirates and Roman soldiers.

"Help, help, I can't swim."

At this time, Luca heard someone exclaiming behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Andrew. This big German man couldn't swim and could only splash around in the water.

Luga hurried over and picked him up, and with the cooperation of Belia, he swam towards the pirate ship with the drowning Andrew.

The pirate warship continued to move forward and split the merchant ship into two. There was not much time left for Luca and his men.

"Hurry! Hurry!" Luga swam to the pirate's ship with Belia, and when the people on board were not paying attention, he suddenly stood up from the edge and jumped onto the warship.

At this time, the pirates who were still watching the excitement on the boat suddenly woke up, staring at Luga with wide eyes in horror. Luga didn't say anything, he drew out the Dragon Breath Sword and chopped wildly. Soon, the few pirates on the boat died under Luga's sword.

Luga quickly turned around, grabbed Belia's outstretched hand, and lifted Belia up.

"Belia, take care of Andrew. I have something else to do!" He hastily ordered Belia to help Andrew spit out the sea water he drank. Luca called out to the Roman soldiers in the water, "Hey, come here, come here!"

When the soldiers heard Luca's call, they did not dare to hesitate and swam over here quickly using their hands and feet. Luca pulled them onto the boat one by one and asked them to throw the pirate bodies on the deck into the sea.

More and more Roman guards boarded the ship, and Luca's actions were soon discovered by the pirates. They did not care about their companions who fell into the water, and were determined to completely eliminate Luca and his men. The pirates worked together to control the warship and turn around.

At this time, there were still many Roman soldiers struggling in the water, and the boat that Luca was on was almost full.

"Luka! Luka!"

Belialiu ran over and grabbed Luca's hand to stop him from pulling the Roman soldier who was about to climb onto the boat, and said to Luca: "We must leave quickly, now!"

"But they will be abandoned here!" Luca couldn't bear it.

"Listen, listen!" Belia grabbed Luca's hands and explained to him, "Listen to me, Luca, listen to me, they will be fine. As long as we leave, as long as we return to Syracuse, then I will be able to contact the leader of these pirates, and then we can redeem them, understand? The most important thing for us now is that you cannot fall into their hands, because they know your value! I guess you don't want to be caught by them and sold to Gaiseric for a large sum of money. If you don't want to, leave now, now!"

Belia's reminder made Luca suddenly realize that this was indeed a good idea. Not only could he redeem the soldiers, but he could also meet the pirate boss. Luca immediately agreed. Thinking of this, Luca nodded slightly and looked towards Belia.

"Now, paddle, move, speed up!"

After getting Luga's permission, Belialiu hurriedly turned around and called on the soldiers on the ship to take action.

The soldiers hurriedly raised their oars and rowed back and forth according to Beria's call. At the stern, Luga shouted to the soldiers who were staring at the warships getting farther and farther away on the sea: "Remember, don't try to keep anything in front of them. Tell them everything, including my name! Believe me, I will redeem you all!"

The pirates' warship was very light, and the soldiers worked together and rowed very far. Before the pirates had time to turn the warship around, the warship had already slipped away hundreds of meters away. Soon, the pirate ship was left behind and disappeared without a trace.

"It's safe! It's safe!"

The exhausted soldiers and Belia collapsed on the deck. Only Luca sat at the stern, staring blankly at the water marks left by the passing warships behind. He didn't know whether what he was doing was good or bad. He couldn't tell for a moment. He just wanted to return to Syracuse as soon as possible, or Trapani would be fine. As long as he landed, he could start rescuing his soldiers as soon as possible.
