"No problem, my lord." Shan Zhu said respectfully. At this moment, he even addressed Chu Heng as his lord. It could be said that he had already placed his mentality in the position of Chu Heng's assistant.
Chu Heng smiled and didn't say anything. He quickly walked to the left side of the guardrail that was connected to the merchant ship. Leaning on the guardrail, Chu Heng's figure streaked across the air like a black shadow and landed on the merchant ship.
Standing on the deck, Chu Heng did not immediately draw his weapon and start fighting. Instead, he carefully observed the situation around the deck of the merchant ship. At this moment, many parts of the merchant ship had holes in them due to the cannonballs. This undoubtedly affected the battle to a certain extent.
Even though the merchant ship had 150 people. However, Chu Heng discovered that more than half of them looked like slaves. Each of them had leg cuffs on their feet, and they were all as thin as a stick. Their black, thin, and tattered clothes showed what kind of hard life they had lived in the past.
At this moment, the slaves were scared stiff by the pirates who had come to kill them. Without anyone to control them, they fled in all directions weakly. However, they were not agile when they fled with their ankles. This result caused many of them to be slashed to the ground by the crazy pirates in an instant.
Other than slaves, the merchant ship also had a small portion of sailors. They held all kinds of weapons in their hands. Although they did not look very strong, they were not much different from the pirates who had just boarded the Quidah. However, when faced with the veteran pirates on the Quidah, they were still powerless. As sailors, they obviously did not have the ferocious and cruel aura of pirates.
Other than the slaves and sailors, Chu Heng could clearly see that on the second deck of the merchant ship, there were nearly 30 guards wearing uniform weapons and uniforms, fighting hard against the pirates. It was impossible for them to be guards hired by the merchants. Most of the guards hired by the merchants were free people, and their clothes were not uniform. Merchants would not specially buy clothes for the guards they recruited. After all, wouldn't it be better to use this sum of money to buy more goods to sell?
Therefore, the biggest possibility was that this ship belonged to a big shot of a kingdom, and there was always a group of soldiers guarding it.
Just as Chu Heng was staring at the guards on the second deck, a sailor on the merchant ship sneaked up from behind him. Just as he was about to launch a sneak attack, he was chopped down on the deck by the mountain bamboo that came after him.
The " lord " pulled out the tachi that was stuck in the sailor's body, and Shan Zhu stood respectfully behind Chu Heng. To a certain extent, the attributes of the mountain bamboo were higher than Chu Heng's. However, he wasn't as agile as Chu Heng. This wasn't something that could be compensated for by his high attributes. Therefore, when Chu Heng jumped onto the deck of the merchant ship, Shan Zhu had to carefully step on the rope and get onto the ship.
Chu Heng didn't turn around when he heard this. Instead, he was thinking about the countermeasures. It wasn't that he didn't notice the pirates behind him who were preparing to ambush him. Chu Heng, who had two years of gaming combat experience, was already prepared to make a move. It was just that Shan Zhu had beaten him to it.
In Chu Heng's opinion, it was almost impossible for him to make any achievements in this robbery. With his skills and strength, defeating a veteran pirate on the Quidah might not be too difficult. Of course, this was under the premise that the other party did not have any skills. If he had the support of a skill and the opponent's attributes were much higher than Chu Heng's, Chu Heng would still have no chance.
If he wanted to make an obvious contribution among the dozens of pirates, there was no doubt that Chu Heng's current strength was still too weak. This caused Chu Heng to have no choice but to think of borrowing strength. Of course, the pirates on the Quidah were not the ones who borrowed the power. The current Chu Heng not only had no power, he also did not have the strength to make them listen to him.
The only one who would listen was probably Shan Zhu behind him. However, Chu Heng knew very well. At this moment, Shan Zhu was only temporarily acting as his subordinate out of consideration for his own interests. If he didn't become the sixth officer within a few days, Shan Zhu would no longer be his subordinate. In fact, the respect he had for him would disappear.
Thinking of this, Chu Heng couldn't help but look at the few slaves on the merchant ship. As slaves, they no longer had the freedom of life. Their masters could order them to do anything at any time, even if they were asked to commit suicide.
Of course, in their hearts, they would definitely yearn for freedom. This was exactly what Chu Heng needed to do. As long as Chu Heng could give them freedom, it was still possible to gain their support and loyalty.
After quickly choosing his target, Chu Heng did not pull out the black blade at his waist. Instead, he took out a tachi that was not very sharp. He quickly rushed to his target. Under the shock and despair in his opponent's eyes, the tachi in his hand cut off the chain between his legs.
However, when the chain was broken, the durability of the tachi, which was originally 93 points, dropped to 43 points, a total of 50 points. This was actually a special setting of the system. If a player wanted to open the chain without a key, they could use a knife to break the chain. However, this would make the knife extremely easy to damage.
It had to be mentioned that the durability of a weapon and armor was 100. However, that didn't mean that the weapon and armor would be damaged after the durability was gone. After the 100 durability points were depleted, the sharpness of a weapon like a knife would permanently decrease by one point. For weapons like hammers, their dullness would also be permanently reduced. However, at the same time, the durability would recover by 50 points. If the 50 points of durability were depleted again, the weapon's upper limit would drop by one point, and the durability would only recover by 25 points. The weapon would only be considered damaged when its sharpness or dullness was completely lost.
Of course, in the game, there were some rare iron ores that could increase the sharpness or dullness of weapons, but they were too rare.
It was also because of this that Chu Heng did not use the black blade to cut the chains. If the sharpness of the black blade was reduced in a few moves, Chu Heng would probably go crazy.
After breaking the chains, Chu Heng quickly put the knife to the other party's neck and said coldly,"You have two choices now. Either you die, or you pick up your weapon and follow me to kill.”
The slave whose neck was held by Chu Heng's saber looked at Chu Heng with extreme fear, still trembling and unable to speak.
" My lord…" Shan Zhu loyally stood behind Chu Heng, fulfilling his promise to him. However, Shan Zhu was still puzzled by the current situation. He really did not understand why Chu Heng would do such a thing.
Ignoring Shan Zhu, Chu Heng turned the blade of the katana slightly downward and cut at the flesh below the man's shoulder at an extremely slow speed.
"Ah!" Although the slave was trembling in fear and could not speak, the pain from his shoulder still made the slave cry out in pain.
Don't test my patience." Chu Heng stopped and said coldly,"I'll say it again. Either you die, or you pick up your weapons and follow me to kill.”
The slave looked at Chu Heng as if he was looking at a demon. He trembled and said,"I…I don't want to die…"
"Then follow me and kill."
"Clang!"
Throwing the katana in his hand in front of the slave, Chu Heng immediately turned around and began to look for a target. A slave was not enough for him to be cannon fodder.
