Chapter 292: Escape
"You two clean up the scene. The rest of you, follow me to the warehouse!"
Using the weapon in his hand, he stabbed the captain in the chest just in case. The leader of the Tarkanan assassins followed closely and divided the work.
However, the few people who followed him to the warehouse were still a little worried about the other passengers and sailors on the ship, so they asked:
"What to do with the group of people above? Kill them all?"
Looking back at his companions, the leading Tarkanan assassin was silent for a moment, and then replied:
"Who are you going to kill to sail the ship? I originally planned to do it when we get close to Sarn Port."
Hearing this, the faces of the people behind him were full of embarrassment.
"Sorry, captain, that guy's parents were killed by the Linland family. The opportunity just now was so great that he couldn't hold it back."
The so-called Tarkanan family actually has a very loose organizational structure. Its members are mostly composed of alien dragon mark holders who were persecuted by the Twelve Dragon Mark families and "abandoned children" of the Twelve Dragon mark families.
Because of this, although everyone has the same goal and is fighting to dismantle the Twelve Dragon Mark Family, when it comes to specific matters, everyone may have different ideas.
Now the Tarkanan assassin who gives orders is a direct member of the "family", and whether it is the rogue who can release force field impact who is chasing Udyr, or the guy with a gloomy appearance, they are all relatively laid-back. Peripheral members.
With a long sigh, the leader of the Tarkanan Assassin smacked his lips without blaming the other party too harshly.
"It's okay. We all have a deep hatred for the Twelve Dragon Mark Family. It's normal to be unable to control ourselves, but I hope this is the last time.
There is still room for redemption in this matter. Listen to me. Only take away the things the leader mentioned later. Don’t touch the rest. Follow my command. I guarantee that everyone can return safely. Sarn! "
Although the mistakes of subordinates are troublesome, they are also an excellent opportunity to regain their loyalty.
At this moment, the Tarkanan assassin already had an idea to escape from his shell.
…
"Huh? Why hasn't the captain come back? How long has it been? It must have been an hour or two, right?"
In the cockpit behind the steamship, the crew who had been playing for several rounds finally noticed the time and the captain who had never returned.
But at this time, they did not think that their captain had encountered something unexpected. Instead, they thought that the captain had gone to the cabin where the nobles were.
"Hey! Maybe the Viscount of Throne Castle invited the captain to the party. Tsk tsk. I heard that those noble children were arrested for hosting an impart. Maybe...hehe!"
The sailor looked at his companions with a somewhat obscene expression of "I know everything", and the sailor spread rumors irresponsibly.
But for people who are drifting at sea, this kind of colorful topic is always the best way to pass the time.
Although there is now a spirit card game, who would refuse to chat about these topics while playing cards?
For a time, the speculation and discussion in the cockpit about the captain and those dissolute nobles gradually became intense.
The card game continued, and about half an hour passed. Several sailors looked at the time and prepared to replace their companions who were on duty.
However, when they arrived at the guard post, they found these bastards sleeping against the wall next to them.
"Get up! Go back and sleep again! These two guys are really lucky. What if they fall off the deck? The waves are still very big!"
The sleeping sailor suddenly woke up from his dream, shook his groggy head, and the two handed the observation equipment to their companions on duty, and then went to sleep.
The sailor who was officially on duty picked up his equipment and looked around in a perfunctory manner.
He originally didn't care much about the results of the observation. After all, there were very few pirates in this sea area, and even sea beasts rarely appeared.
But when he was about to end his lookout, he suddenly saw a small piece of white sail.
The sail was also outlined with a familiar pattern, which was the emblem of the Linland family.
The sailor took his eyes away from the look-glass, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and then looked again.
"One, two, three..."
When the count reached twenty, the sailor panicked.
"What's wrong?"
His companion obviously noticed something was wrong with the other party, so he quickly patted him on the shoulder.
"Quick! Go and see the lifeboats! MD! All the lifeboats have been launched into the sea!"
Simply launching a lifeboat into the sea wouldn't make this sailor so scared, but if a bomb or something like that was artificially placed on the steamer, it would be fatal.
In particular, the captain who was supposed to come back soon has not returned yet, which made the sailors mistakenly believe that something happened on the ship, and that they and others were left to fend for themselves on the ship.
Quickly running back to the cockpit, the sailor panted and explained what he had just seen to the boatswain and first mate.
The two people with the highest status besides the captain suddenly stood up, and their eyes that were a little cloudy from playing cards all night suddenly became much clearer.
"Quick! Go and see where the nobles live, as well as the two people who were on duty just now. Wake them up and ask them if they suddenly fell asleep or if it was something else. The remaining people went down to the cabin to check and see if there was anything on the ship. Nothing more or less!”
After a series of orders were issued, the whole ship suddenly became lively.
Soon, there was a knock on the door outside the cabin where he was sleeping.
"Who is it?"
Viscount Lando, who had been working hard for several days, had just talked about life with a noble lady not long ago. Now he was tired, and when he heard the knock on the door, his tone was naturally a little bad.
But he was also afraid that something had happened on the ship, so he gently comforted the noble lady on the bed who should call him cousin according to blood relationship, and got up to open the cabin door.
Outside the cabin door, the boatswain with a sullen face glanced at the room, and then made a hoarse voice: "The captain is missing, all the lifeboats have been put into the sea, and the current situation on the ship... is very bad!"
Seeing the expression of the boatswain, Viscount Lando realized that something had happened.
After listening to the boatswain's words, although he didn't understand what these things meant, the fact that "the captain is missing" gave him a bad premonition.
There is a clear difference between the ship operated by the holder of the Storm Dragon Mark and the other ships.
Without them, only those navigators who are very proficient in navigation skills can safely bring the ship to the destination.
And now, they are in the "Thunder Sea", a sea area with frequent storms, and they may encounter a typhoon of at least level 12 at any time.
Swallowing hard, Viscount Lando asked in a trembling voice: "I, what can I do for you?"
The boatswain outside the door took a deep breath, and then asked solemnly: "Tell me, why can you get on this ship! You were not originally on the list of accompanying personnel!"
