Chapter 1145: Meeting Antonio
At Zhang Tuohai's instruction, the little phoenix opened its mouth, and Yin Lishabai finally withdrew her fingers.
At this time, her finger had been burned and a large blister had formed.
"It hurts. How come your little chicken is so strong?" Yin Lisha Bai asked while blowing on her fingers.
"This is a phoenix, not a free-range chicken. Of course it's powerful."
Zhang Tuohai closed his hands and the phoenix shadow disappeared.
"This guy is as bad as his master." Yin Lisha Bai licked her fingers and scratched Alduin's belly with her nails. "He is still the best. He will be good if you scratch his belly."
Alduin was woken up by the scratching. He swung his tail in dissatisfaction and pulled Yin Lishabeth's fingers, trying to drive her away, but Yin Lishabeth's hands were so strong that he could not resist and could only let Yin Lishabeth scratch his belly.
"Be gentle, don't kill her." Zhang Tuohai looked at Yin Lisha Bai helplessly and said.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Yin Lisha waved her hand.
"It's almost time to eat, let's go cook."
After giving his instructions, Zhang Tuohai returned to the slipway.
"Report to the captain, the ship is sailing according to the established route and there is no abnormal situation."
said Polly the parrot, as he stood at the wheel.
"Well done." Zhang Tuohai took out a few peanuts and gave them to Polly as a reward.
Seeing the happy look of the parrot Polly, Zhang Tuohai thought about getting some almonds when he had the chance to reward this diligent subordinate.
The ship continued to move forward.
Just as the sky was getting slightly brighter, the lookout suddenly reported that a fleet of ships was spotted heading towards them ahead.
"Be alert and check the opponent's flag." Zhang Tuohai's face became serious.
"yes!"
The order was passed down.
Soon, the lookout sent a message: "It's the flag of House Targaryen!"
"It's true that enemies meet on a narrow road. We ran into a patrol fleet right after we escaped from the island they controlled."
Zhang Tuohai estimated that the leader of this fleet might be the bachelor Antonio whom he had met once.
"We have to find a chance to kill him. Otherwise, being hunted by someone we know is really too passive."
Zhang Tuohai made the decision to attack the fleet and at least kill Bachelor Antonio.
Otherwise, this is the base of the Targaryen family, and it would be terrible if there was someone here who knew me.
"Everyone, get ready for battle, bring the boats over, and have the lookout send a signal saying we are short of fresh water and ask them to buy some fresh water supplies."
Zhang Tuohai said that he planned to use this excuse to move closer and then launch a sneak attack, preferably to kill Bachelor Antonio and resolve his worries.
"yes!"
The lookout who received the order began to send general flag signals.
On the Flower Sea, Antonio was having breakfast, a portion of lamb chops and a glass of red wine, very simple.
"Master Antonio, a ship is approaching us to buy fresh water." A messenger ran over and said.
"Then sell it to them. Anyway, we will arrive at Red Stone Island soon and can replenish it at will..."
Bachelor Antonio suddenly paused here and frowned.
"Where are they coming from?" Maester Antonio suddenly raised his voice.
"Towards Red Stone Island!"
Said the messenger.
"Strange, it clearly came from Red Stone Island, but why didn't they replenish the fresh water there?"
Antonio frowned.
"Unless, they can't use normal channels to buy fresh water!"
"Could it be pirates?"
"But there are artillery batteries on Red Stone Island, and pirates cannot pass through," said the messenger.
"We cannot blindly trust the artillery. There is no barrier that is impossible to break through. As long as there is a human, there is a possibility of breaking through!"
"Notify the infantry squadron to prepare for battle. I want to see who these people are!"
Antonio dropped his knife and fork.
"yes!"
The messenger passed the order down.
Soon, the Targaryen family's infantry battle team was ready, and each infantryman was equipped with a scimitar and a short-barreled flintlock.
In addition to these, he also wore a breastplate.
Although it can only block the chest, it is much better for most unarmored targets in this era.
Even the Empire's lobster soldiers, not every branch and every unit are equipped with armor. Most of them wear cloth uniforms, which provides no protection at all.
"How is the preparation going?" Antonio asked as he walked onto the deck.
"Mr. Bachelor, the infantry squadron is ready."
The boatswain pointed to the large sheet of canvas covering the deck, beneath which the squadron of infantry was hidden.
"Pretend to agree to them, move closer, arrest all of them, torture them to find out their origins, and kill them if they are pirates," Antonio said.
"What if it's not a pirate?" asked the boatswain.
"How did you become a boatswain?" Antonio said dissatisfiedly, "On the vast ocean, the knife is in our hands. We call them pirates, and they are pirates."
"Understood!"
the boatswain shouted back.
…
"The other party agreed to let us go over." The lookout said to Zhang Tuohai.
"Well, then come over."
Zhang Tuohai raised the telescope and looked towards the bow of the other ship. He found an old man in a bachelor's gown standing on the bow. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Antonio.
"It's really this guy," Zhang Tuohai narrowed his eyes and grabbed a large tricorn hat to cover his face.
He was worried that Antonio would attack .
The enemy has the advantage in the number of ships, more artillery, and faster ships. They can kill us with a kite attack. The only way to win is to get close and engage in boarding battle.
"Everyone get ready. Everyone else come over here and take two oranges and a demon bomb from me."
Zhang Tuohai said.
Distribute the potions and bombs to everyone.
The White Bird and the Flower Sea slowly moved closer together, and several other ships approached from all directions.
Zhang Tuohai took a quick glance and knew that this group of people had ill intentions, but he focused his attention on Antonio.
As long as we kill him, half of the mission will be accomplished.
Looking at the ship getting closer and closer, Antonio, who was standing at the bow, felt a sudden pang of anxiety in his heart for no reason, as if something bad was going to happen.
Antonio involuntarily took a step back .
Bang!
A bullet blew the wide-brimmed hat off his head.
Boom boom boom!
The cannons that had been prepared long ago also fired. At such a close distance, no shells would miss. There was even a shrapnel shell that shot into the hull of the Huahai through the gun window, hitting the propellant and causing an explosion.
Boom!
An explosion occurred inside the hull of the Huahai.
"Charge!" The pirates threw out grappling hooks and swung towards the Flower Sea.
