378. Heroes of the Sea

The recent situation is quite serious, and the confrontation between Britain and the West has reached its peak. All merchant fleets have either been highly armed or escorted by war fleets. There are few simple merchant fleets.

But there are always exceptions in things. For example, the German merchant ship called "Prince Hamburg" that is currently passing through the Baltic Sea has no guards, and it is not highly armed, it is just an ordinary Carac merchant ship.

It’s not that his captain Glenn doesn’t want to ask for escorts, but under the current situation, not only does the price of the frigate double, but also has to make an appointment for the schedule. There are often cases where the temple gate cannot be found with a pig’s head.

There is no way, I run food, beef, burgers, tuna, etc., and the shelf life is very short. When the frigate schedules, I am afraid that all my goods will be rotten in my hands.

In addition, Glenn has been running the Hamburg to Stockholm route, and has encountered some dangers, but it is much better than those who run far away.

I heard that the Baltic Sea has not been peaceful recently, Glenn had to be vigilant and brought twice as many guards as usual. But in his heart, he still hoped that he would be more lucky and not have any situation.

It was very smooth when I went there. Under the strong push of the westerly wind in spring, his speed was more than 30% faster than usual! He passed through the east side of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea very smoothly and arrived at his destination Stockholm.

The delivery procedure was carried out very smoothly, and the buyer also gave himself 20% more remuneration and payment because the goods were transported faster and the texture was fresher. This was really a surprise!

This time I had a lot of income and could change to a big ship! Glenn thought that some people changed to a merchant ship modified by warships. I heard that the effect was very good. Now that I have enough money, I seem to be able to try this special gameplay.

As the saying goes, the horse's hooves are brisk. In Glen's senses, although it is a headwind, it seems to be faster than when it came.

Soon, the Princess Hamburg drove away from the Baltic Sea, bypassing Copenhagen, with the Skagerac Strait in front, and a little further ahead was the range of the North Sea, and you got home by yourself!

Glenn was thinking about the beautiful family at home and couldn't help but hum a little song, but unexpectedly, the first mate's scream suddenly sounded in his ear: "Captain! We are being followed!"

Glenn was shocked and immediately looked along the first mate's finger! He saw a stateless fleet hanging tightly with him not far behind him, about two or three nautical miles away!

Moreover, the fleet of all the spinnakers are obviously very familiar with this, I am afraid that I will really encounter disaster!

Glenn had no choice but to order to escape at full speed! There was absolutely no way out for fighting hard - he knew it.

But did you give up like this? Glenn was unwilling to give up, so he naturally ran as fast as he could. He just hated that his parents gave him two less legs!

Because it was a headwind, the performance of the Carac ship can be said to be reduced to the minimum! Glenn felt so distressed, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and order to prepare for the battle!

However, as a merchant ship with 80% of the load is used to hold cargo, how much can it play even if all employees prepare for war? After all, it is just to give yourself some comfort.

Soon, the stateless fleet behind us chased us! Their small-caliber curved cannons began to attack! This is a common trick for pirates - this small-caliber artillery is not used to damage enemy ships, but to deter the enemy!

After all, the purpose of pirates is to rob. If the ship is broken, then what's the point? This small-caliber can aim at masts, rudders and other components to accurately destroy them to prevent the enemy from escaping!

On the other hand, it makes the enemy feel fear! It is obvious that Glenn's fleet was significantly slower after being attacked - they had to twist left and right to avoid the enemy's artillery fire, while their counterattack was basically ignored by the opponent.

As he chased him closer, Glenn felt a huge despair in his heart. Is it going to end here? He was unwilling to accept it! Everything was going well, and he was so careful, why did he meet pirates? He was unwilling to accept it!

However, the world is materialistic, and the development of things is not subject to human will. If you are unwilling to give up, the enemy will still chase you closer and closer! Glenn even saw the enemy's silhouette of a scimitar!

Damn it! Glenn really doesn't want to die! But... he also knows that he will be dismantled!

Who will save me! Glenn thought to himself, God! Where are you?!

God seemed to hear Glenn's call, and just as he was about to be chased, another fleet suddenly appeared in front of the ship!

Could it be that they were attacked? Glenn's heart was already numb, and he was dead, and there was no difference between one or two teams of enemies. But what about them, they actually sent so many ships to steal one of their own ships? Is it enough to divide it?

Then Glenn shook his head and laughed at himself again, "Is this something I can worry about? Forget it, find a way to negotiate and spend money to avoid disasters!" I just hope that the pirates on the other side will be reasonable, and it is a blessing to not lose both people and money!"

The fleet in front of him also opened fire! The exact same cannon cannon, and the sound of the shell hitting the hull came, and Glenn closed his eyes helplessly.

But then he opened his eyes hard again, and the shell was not flying towards him!

Glenn turned his head suddenly, but saw that the artillery of the coming ship was hitting the pirate ship behind him! And in terms of the number and the frequency of launches, it was obviously higher and faster than the pirate ship!

In any case, even if they are pirate ships, they are not so unfair - let them fight! Fight to death! Haha!

Glenn thought.

The firefight between the two sides was so fierce that a rolling smoke rose on the pirate ship in a short while! It seemed that the fleet ahead was about to win! The pirate ship had already begun to turn the bow and was ready to escape!

OK! At least he won the pirate ship - Glenn thought so. As he watched the pirate ship go away, the fleet ahead slowly approached and uttered a flag to ask about the situation.

The sailors cheered! Are they not pirates? Glenn was a little confused and looked up suddenly before he saw the German flag hanging on the coming boat like him!

It was actually my own war fleet! Glenn couldn't help but be excited. Did God really hear my call and sent someone to save me?

Hurry up and park the ship parallel to the other party's flagship, and ask the sailor to set up the board, and he wants to talk to the other party's captain!

When the boat was stable, Glen immediately jumped onto the board and walked to the opposite boat. The captain on the opposite side also came over, and he was actually a young man!

"Are you okay? This captain." The young man opposite asked with a smile. He smiled so warmly, and his elegant blonde hair, he looked like the sun god - Glenn thought.

"Oh! Yes! Yes! I'm fine! Thank you! Dear Captain!" After Glenn reacted, he immediately saluted the other party.

The moment he lowered his head, he saw the patterns on the other person's chest clothes, which were elegant and simple. He seemed to have seen them somewhere, but he couldn't remember them all at once!

The other party smiled and waved his hand, and continued in a nice voice: "It's not worth mentioning. My name is Matthias, what do you call me?"

Glenn immediately felt very embarrassed and immediately reported to her house. The other party immediately said that he had heard of his chamber of commerce, "It is a chamber of commerce that operates conscientious food" - the young man commented.

Conscience is something that Glen has always firmly adhered to. His goods are always freshest, best, and the price is fair. The other party said his biggest characteristics at once, and Glen immediately felt like he met an old friend in a foreign land.

"Where are there!" Glenn said modestly: "I just do my best to do my own thing! Your Excellency Matthias." Having said that, he smiled very brightly, and was blinded by the teeth.

Matthias smiled and was about to speak when an elder behind him, who seemed very smart and knowledgeable, suddenly spoke: "Your Highness, our time is very tight. The naval battle just now has been delayed a lot of time, so we must hurry up and hurry up."

This person should not appear on the boat, but at a court dinner or in the princes and princesses’ classes, right?

After hearing this, Matthias nodded immediately and said, "Uncle Anderson, what you said is, let's go now!" After saying that, he turned to Glen and said, "Mr. Glen, I have to leave, I hope I will see you again if I have the chance!"

Glenn was stunned and left now. Then she remembered that the old man called him "Your Highness" just now! Your Highness? Matthias?

Glenn suddenly felt aroused in her heart, and suddenly remembered who this person was, and immediately pointed at the young man and shouted: "Ah! You are His Highness Matthias! I met you at the Easter celebration a few years ago!"

Matthias stopped, looked back at Glenn and smiled, "Oh! Do you know me?"

Glenn then excitedly said, "Of course! Of course! His Highness Matthias, who is both wise and brave, of course I remember!" As he said that, he bowed again and asked, "Your Highness, where are you going? Is there anything I can serve?"

Matthias waved his hand, smiled bitterly before saying, "I'm going to deliver a batch of goods, I'm in a hurry, just like you! I'm going to be punctual."

Glenn wondered, "Your Highness will go to deliver the goods in person?"

Matthias sighed without saying a word. Glenn suddenly remembered something - the current ruler of Germany - King Rudolf II is Matthias's brother!

When the old king died, Rudolph II and Matthias were said to have a fierce battle, and several other princes also participated. But later, Rudolph II was successfully crowned, and the other princes were either dead or missing.

It seems that His Highness Matthias is also the victim of that year. Faced with his life-savior, Glenn spontaneously stood by his side. The poor His Highness still has to work hard for his livelihood!

What's more valuable is that he did not forget to help others in the face of trouble! Glenn's heart was once again amplified! He was excited and blurted out: "Your Highness, don't be discouraged, you still have a chance!"

Matthias's eyes lit up and then asked, "Oh! How do you say this?"

Glenn became more and more excited as he spoke: "You are so young, you are more than... than that person, and you must have a chance! In addition, you are so wise and brave, I believe God will give you an answer!"

Matthias smiled, and he smiled so hard that he felt like a spring breeze! He waved his hand to thank Glenn for goodbye, and walked so freely that Glenn almost became obsessed with watching.

Glen returned to Hamburg with enthusiasm and praised Matthias' kindness whenever he saw people. Until half a month later, he met another captain who was rescued by Matthias at sea. Everyone had similar experiences and similar gratitude, so he became more enthusiastic and enthusiastic about publicity!

In just two months, His Highness Matthias rescued more than a dozen fleets chased by pirates around him, and immediately gained fame!

Under the publicity and guidance of those who are interested, people have begun to call this young His Highness the "guardian of the ocean"! With the sea breeze, this craze flew from one city to another, from the seaside to the inland, and more and more people began to praise Matthias!

Although they have not been rescued, this does not affect their follow-up trend!

...

Sitting in the cabin, I held a glass of red wine and smiled at Matthias in front of me, "Things are going well, and your time is coming soon. Do you know how to do it, right?"

Matthias saluted respectfully and said, "Yes! Captain! Thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

I picked up the wine glass and said, "I have given you a chance, and you have to catch it! Then I wish you success!"
