Chapter One Hundred Storms(1/2)
Rumble!
A flash of lightning broke through the heavy sky, illuminating the night sky, and a long line suddenly appeared on the dark green road.???
They have dark skin, tall figures, and their strong muscles are as hard as rocks, revealing a strong texture.
These are the slaves of Nanda 6 bought by Tang Jie. They worked hard and worked hard. Several of them worked together to carry huge rocks weighing hundreds of pounds, shouting low and neat slogans, and walking step by step.
Next to these strong black slaves are the island's sailors and the black slave's wives and children. They either hold one wooden barrel after another or hold various packed supplies on their heads, forming a long queue. From a distance, they look like a long dragon slowly squirming.
Tick, tick.
The rain began to drizzle from the air and soon turned into a torrential rain.
The sound of rain mixed with the sound of waves hitting the reefs, bursts came in the night sky
Niya stood on a tall stone, and the heavy rain poured on her body like a pour, soaking her soaked, but the golden-eyed woman didn't care at all. She stood in the storm and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, work harder! We'll drink rum tonight!"
Such incentives on weekdays always make these strong slaves and tough sailors excited, but today the slaves and sailors listen to them, few people care. They just looked up at Niya one by one, then lowered their heads and carried the heavy goods and continued to walk slowly.
On a downpour night, the atmosphere is depressing and dull.
A look of eagerness and sadness flashed in Niya's eyes. She was an excellent deputy, organizer and executor, but she was not an excellent leader.
She does not have the innate talent and ability that Tang Jie has.
The black-headed man seemed to have a kind of demeanor and courage that could make people convinced. His smile could make people willingly fight and fight with him.
When he is with him on weekdays, his charm is not easy to detect.
But once it reaches the critical moment, or once he is no longer around, the gap between being present and not being present will be obvious.
If Tang Jie was still here, these black slaves would be full of fighting spirit and not know that they were tired at all. The sailors under his command would stand up and shout loudly, yelling at the horns.
But now, all Niya can do is to maintain the orderly working order on the Demon Island without causing riots.
Niya couldn't help but start to miss the man she loved deeply, his smile, and his warm embrace again.
Is he okay now?
When will he come back?
Niya frowned and said nothing.
"How is it?" Simon, who was standing beside him, rushed to Niya from the rain, awakening her worries.
Simon wiped the rain from his face and asked loudly, "The sea water has risen, we must speed up!"
The sound of heavy rain and waves made Simon's voice seem a little erratic. Even when it was close, Niya didn't hear what he said clearly.
"What? What did you say?" Niya asked loudly with one hand beside her ear, with her head tilted.
Simon approached Niya and shouted loudly: "The sea water has risen to the shore, and our wood has been soaked in the sea water! If it is not transferred as soon as possible, the wood will be swept away by the waves!"
Niya shouted loudly: "No, we have done our best. Even the elderly are working, and even children with a little strength are helping! Give priority to transfer our food and fresh water, and tie the wood with fiber ropes and the remaining stones that cannot be transferred away!"
Simon gave Niya a thumbs up: "Good solution! I'll find someone to do it now!"
"Wait!" Niya grabbed Simon who was turning around and about to leave. "How much has the cargo on the ship been unloaded?"
"Only one ship is unloaded, and now this one is almost unloaded!" Simon replied loudly, "However, there are two ships that cannot be reached at all. They just spoke up and said that the waves were too big and they had to throw away some cargo, otherwise there would be a risk of capsizing!"
"No!! Now it is getting more and more difficult to raise supplies. These two ships of cargo are our life-saving grass, and they must not be thrown away!" Niya refused flatly, her face was stern, and her voice was faintly filled with the sound of gold and stone. "Tell them on the lights, hold on for a while, and hold on for a leak, and the southern port can stop temporarily immediately! You ask them to go around the south side of the Devil Island and prepare to enter the port from there!"
Simon couldn't even open his eyes by the heavy rain, so he had to block his eyes with one hand. He shouted loudly: "I'll go and talk to them!"
Niya nodded: "I'll leave it to you! This storm will get smaller tomorrow morning. As long as we can withstand tonight, it will be fine!"
Simon knew that Niya had been sailing on the sea since she was a child and was very familiar with the weather in the sea. He nodded, hooked his body, and turned around and left in a hurry.
Niya watched Simon's back disappear into the night. There was no place in her body that was dry. The raindrops as big as soybeans hit her skin and felt a little painful. It was really a pity that Tang Jie had accumulated enough prestige on the Demon Island on weekdays and left enough tempting hope for these slaves.
Otherwise, just this night, these black slaves could turn into a group of rioting beasts.
"Hurry, hurry..." Niya murmured and said in a low voice, as if a fire was burning in her heart, making her anxious. "Hurry faster, hurry faster!"
Tang Jie has been away from Demon Island for almost a month, and earth-shaking changes occur every day.
The temporary wooden wharf on the west side was renovated once, the cargo throughput of the temporary port was significantly improved, and the initial construction of the hidden safe haven port on the south side of Alcatraz is also coming to an end. Although the wharf is rough and messy, it is far from being completed, but it is still possible to barely park and dock.
It is becoming increasingly difficult for Dalius to raise supplies these days. It only took nearly a month to deliver supplies once yesterday, and the cargo volume is only the carrying capacity of four griffin-class sea ships.
But a sudden storm made unloading of ships a big problem.
In the stormy waves, the ships may be thrown into the reefs and smashed to pieces at any time.
The sailors and the black slaves of the Dada tribe who had been busy for a day had just fallen asleep and got up in a heavy rain, crazily rushing to transport the goods on the ship and on the shore.
Lilith was flying back and forth in the slow stream of people. After receiving the Blue of Awe, the little girl's magic power was improved by leaps and bounds. Her current magic power level has reached the hall and entered the realm of a level six magician.
Thanks to her constant ignition of magical fireballs, she illuminates the roads under her feet for the sailors and the people of the Dada tribe, otherwise she would be unable to see her fingers on this dark night, let alone carrying heavy goods, even walking by herself would be a problem.
At first, Lily squandered her magic without hesitation, and threw fireballs into the sky one by one, like a cannon, which only shocked the black slaves of the Dada tribe one by one.
But after this lasted for a cup of tea, Lilith couldn't support it anymore. Fortunately, Niya saw the opportunity and found the sailors, so she found the thick and strong wooden sticks, tied them with cloth straps, then soaked them in fish oil, and then lit them with Lilith's fireball.
These torches were swaying by bean-sized raindrops in the heavy rain, and seemed to be extinguished at any time, but finally provided a little light to the working people.
"Nia! Where are you, Niya!"
I don’t know how long it took, but a bold voice suddenly rang out.
Niya heard the voice very familiar. She turned her head and saw William and Bill running towards her in the heavy rain.
"Why are you here?" Niya opened her mouth wide and was extremely surprised. "You are not on your own boat now, why are you running to the island for? Are you not afraid of the sailors on the boat rebelling?"
Although William and Bill are now captains and Niya is still a first mate, the respect William and Bill have for Niya is not something others can imagine.
William was so wet all over his body, and the captain's suit on his body was tightly pressed against his body. The long leather boots under his feet squeaked, and it was full of water. Bill next to him was so wet, like a water monkey.
"Nia, why don't we let us abandon the goods?" William shouted loudly. He rushed to the island because of Niya's order. He couldn't understand Niya's order.
In such a storm, the heavy cargo on the ship must be abandoned, otherwise the ship will overturn!
"Bastard, are you two coming to question my orders?" Niya was furious.
Bill screamed: "Nia, have you left the sea boat for too long? How can such a hurricane and such a rainstorm allow us to float on the sea with so many cargo?"
Niya was furious and carried Bill to her, cursing: "Are you blinded your eyes and souls by the exquisite and luxurious captain's suits on you? Have you forgotten who we are? Bastards, we are pirates! We are invincible pirates in the Atac Sea and the Rongen Sea!! We are not those officials who hide in the warm cabin in the stormy weather and drink hot wine!"
"You two bastards! Tang Jie asked you to be the captain, but did you wear out all your aura?" Niya became more and more angry as she spoke. She was furious, and Yazi seemed to be about to crack.
William and Bill came to Niya with great momentum, but were blushed by her scolding.
"But, we are the captain now..." William's voice lowered. "We have to think about the guys on our ship!"
"Fart!!" Niya shouted sternly, her voice could not even be concealed by the sound of heavy rain and waves, and it was heard from afar in the night. "You are responsible for the crew? Who is responsible for the lives of thousands of people on the Demon Island? Who is responsible for Captain Tang Jie?"
Niya glared at Bill and shouted, "You?" She turned her head to look at William: "Or you?"
"Don't you know the difficulty of raising supplies in Sissis now? Don't you know what these two ships mean to us? For the sake of the sea god Tira, you two fools have also made some sense. Alamsha is on the way back to Sissis, and Sissis's gate will be closed to us at any time! Once our lifeline is cut off, we can only stay in the Devil's Island and wait for Captain Tang Jie's return!"
"But, who can tell me when Captain Tang Jie will come back? Hell, William, can you? Or you, Bill, can you?" The pressure Niya has been under great terrible these days. Usually, Tang Jie is holding on to the front, and he has his ideas for everything, and he has his own pressure. But now, Niya's thin shoulders carry more than a thousand lives of safety and responsibility.
On this stormy night, Niya's depression in her chest finally burst out: "We can live one more day on this dead island, one more bucket of food, and one more bucket of fresh water. When Captain Tang Jie's chances of coming back will increase by one point!"
"Where did William I know go? Where did William who lifted a thousand pounds of iron gate? Where did William who was still calm in the face of countless enemies? Who is the stupid pig in front of me now dressed in a neat captain's uniform and fat head and big ears?" Niya mocked her sarcastically. She turned her head and scolded Bill without hesitation, "Where did Bill I know go? He used to be an excellent and brave sailor. He has seen countless winds and waves. He has experienced more dangers than the clouds in the sky! But who is the trembling monkey standing in front of me now?"
"You two cowards, get out of here! If you want to abandon the goods, do it!" Niya pointed her finger almost on the tip of William and Bill's nose. "But you have to remember that once you do this, don't come back! We don't welcome cowards here!!"
This scolding was so fierce that every word Niya whipped William and Bill like a whip.
These two pirates who had been poor for life suddenly became rich and suddenly became captains. They were indeed a little fluttering for a while and were very uncomfortable.
When they came, William and Bill were still angry at Niya's orders on their respective ships, thinking that Niya did not take their lives seriously.
So the two of them privately contacted each other with lanterns and took a boat to venture into the Devil's Island, preparing to join forces to put pressure on Niya and ask her to change her orders.
After all, Konya is Niya. This is a tough woman. Perhaps there is only one person in this world who can change her mind, and that person is Tang Jie.
Obviously, in Niya's mind, ten Williams and ten Bills combined, the weight of Tang Jie is less than half that of Tang Jie.
The new captain's suit and the new ship, all this did make William and Bill forget a lot of things, but Colia's scolding made them remember it suddenly again.
It seemed that the night I just met Tang Jie was also stormy and stormy. But on that night, I was strong all over, dared to roar to the sky, dared to roar to the sea, and dared to charge towards the enemy ten times that of myself!
Yes, why do I feel afraid of death when I have money?
William and Bill stood blankly in the rain, their faces blushed and red.
"William, you are blind, but I see that you are even blind in your heart! Remember, you are a pirate, not a master of enjoyment! And you, Bill, look at how you are now, you have learned to bring decorations now! Oh my God, for the sake of the sea god Tira, you should hurry up and buy a farm and be your farmer! The sea is not suitable for a lady like you!" Although William and Bill both showed deep regret and shame, Konia did not want to let them go at all. She mocked loudly and sneered loudly, and she felt really disappointed.
"Don't say it again!" William was trembling all over. He suddenly let out a thunderous roar. He gasped and pulled open his neatly dressed captain's suit, revealing his fluffy chest. He patted his chest hard, making a thump, "I William is a famous pirate, I am not a coward!!"
Bill's face turned purple and red, and he shouted sharply: "Nia, you are right, we are pirates, not masters! What is such a storm? What kind of storm I have never seen before?"
Niya looked at them coldly and sternly said, "Then why are you still rushing here? Why don't you go back to your ship!"
"Yes! First mate Niya!" William and Bill were scolded by Niya and obediently. The fierce blood in their bodies burned again and became boiling. At the same time, they raised their heads, touched their heels, and roared loudly.
Niya yanked out the long sword from her waist and let out a loud roar: "It's all for the captain!"
"It's all for the captain!!" William and Bill pulled out the scimitar from their waists and shouted loudly, the sound broke through the dim sky and soared into the sky.
"Go, don't lose the captain's face!" Niya stared at them with bright eyes.
