Chapter 2907: Brigadier General

Inside the cramped and damp cell, sweat mixed with the smell of blood permeated, and snoring sounds came from the cell next door.

Su Xiao could leave at any time, but he didn't do so. His previous plan had two branches: 1. If the hotel owner found a local snake, he would contact the local Royal Navy through that local snake. 2. If the hotel owner was a law-abiding citizen, he would first be locked up by the navy, and then contact the high-level navy through the navy soldiers guarding the prison.

Don't underestimate the low-level navy serving in the prison. They were different from other low-level navy. Some pirates locked in the prison, in order to avoid being hanged, would occasionally provide some information about their pirate group.

For example, whether the pirate group was rich, whether they had looted the Empire's merchant ships, and when they had looted them, and where the stolen goods were.

For mid-level navy officers, the port prison was a good place to obtain military medals. If a pirate provided secrets about the four great pirates, the mid-level officer who learned this news would be rich, and the road to promotion would be right in front of them.

Because of this, the low-level navy guarding the prison could see the confidants of mid-level officers, so as to avoid the leakage of intelligence caused by multiple transfers of confidential information, and the credit being taken by others.

*Ding~*

Su Xiao flipped a gold coin, which landed outside the iron fence, making a series of crisp sounds. Before long, a foot wearing a boot stepped on this gold coin.

"Cough."

This navy, who was about 30 years old, coughed lightly and raised his chin at Su Xiao.

"Rum? Roast turkey? Meat pie?"

The navy outside the cell asked in a low voice. He looked sideways at the prisoner in the next cell. The prisoner immediately turned over and continued to sleep facing the wall.

"Anything is fine."

"Wait, there is rum sent to the port today. My name is Finn. Before you are executed, you can find me if you have any needs."

The navy soldier who called himself Finn walked away with large strides. He clearly didn't bend down to pick it up, but the gold coin on the ground had already disappeared.

Before long, the cell door was opened. Finn held an oil paper bag, placing two bottles of wine and several kinds of food in front of Su Xiao.

"You are the one who claimed to be a pirate and was arrested tonight?"

Finn sat opposite Su Xiao, biting open the cork of the bottle, drinking rum leisurely.

"Yes, it's me."

"You, your background must not be small. I haven't seen a pirate as calm as you. Those pirates who claim to yearn for freedom cry their snot out when they arrive here, heh."

After Finn drank a sip of wine, his brows relaxed.

"Maybe it's because I am the captain of the Misfortune."

"Hahahaha, captain of the Misfortune, you are really joking. My name is West Sea King Finn, do you believe it?"

Finn laughed and shook his head, but in the next instant, the smile on his face froze.

*Drip, drip~*

Seawater dripped from the ceiling, and barnacles and algae gradually spread on the wall behind Su Xiao. The upper bodies of several cursed people probed out from the wall. They couldn't continue to move forward. This was land, and they could only parasitize in the wall and couldn't step on the ground.

*Crack! * The wine bottle in Finn's hand fell to the ground. He stood up slowly and retreated step by step.

"Finn, are you reconciled? Just being a low-level navy for a lifetime, being called by your incompetent superiors. The navy is a high-risk profession. If you die in the line of duty one day, your wife can only marry other men to raise your children. How miserable."

Su Xiao looked at Finn with a smile. Finn's retreating steps paused, and he asked: "What do you want to say?"

"Look at these."

Su Xiao threw out five rusty identification plates. Finn hesitated for a moment before picking them up from the ground. After seeing the name on one of the nameplates, his pupils shrank.

"Who is that?"

Su Xiao raised his hand, and the cursed people behind him retreated into the wall. The barnacles and moss on the cell wall quickly retreated and finally disappeared. The cell returned to its previous appearance.

"Amans Murray."

Finn displayed one of the identification plates in his hand. He pondered for a moment and said: "This iron plate... this antique might be related to a big shot."

"Continue."

"That was a Brigadier General of the Royal Navy, the supreme commander of the Second Ocean-going Fleet."

"Brigadier General."

Su Xiao narrowed his eyes. This position was not low in the navy. If there was a fleet under his command, it was another concept. On the Demon Sea where pirates were rampant, navy generals with direct military power under their command were not easy to mess with. Even the king of a principality didn't dare to easily provoke such people.

Finn's face changed repeatedly. He pondered for about half a minute before walking away quickly. Before long, he returned with a navy officer-like navy.

Finn was very calm. After thinking about it again and again, he decided not to report across authority. Although this couldn't make him soar, it was more stable. This was the wisdom of a small person.

Before long, the front of the cell where Su Xiao was located became lively. Five navy soldiers with strong auras stood outside the cell. The appearance of the cell changed greatly, not only with a bed but also with some snacks on the table.

Until early morning the next day, a man wearing a navy lieutenant uniform stopped in front of the cell.

"Mr. Kuku Lin, Brigadier General Murray invites you to the ship to meet."

The lieutenant outside the cell hooked his finger at a navy soldier, and the navy soldier immediately leaned over to listen.

*Click, click. *

Su Xiao's arms and shoulders were locked with several ring shackles. Just as he walked out of the prison door, he saw two teams of navy standing outside. The eyes of these navy were very sharp, looking like they had been fighting pirates at sea for years.

Under the escort of more than a hundred elite navy soldiers, Su Xiao walked from the side street of the port town to the pier. Along the way, he didn't see any civilians, who should have been dispersed.

He chose to report his identity as the captain of the Misfortune, and he had expected to be feared by the Royal Navy, but this was also what he wanted to see.

For the two sides to negotiate, they must establish it on the basis of equal status. In the cognition of the Royal Navy, Su Xiao was an extremely dangerous figure, possibly more dangerous than the four great pirates. When the Misfortune was slaughtering living things on the sea, the great-grandfathers of the four great pirates hadn't even been born yet.

A four-masted giant ship was docked at the port. This ship was painted with light yellow oil paint. Excluding the part submerged in the water, the hull was three stories high. The sails were completely retracted, and there were two large rows of cabin guns on both sides of the hull.

Along the inclined ladder, Su Xiao walked onto the deck and entered the captain's room.

The captain's room was about 40 square meters in size. The wooden wall on the right was covered with pirate hats. These were all left behind by pirates who had been captured or killed by Brigadier General Murray, and were treated as trophies by him.

Brigadier General Murray sat behind the wooden table on the inner side of the captain's room. Sea charts, measuring tools, telescopes, etc., were placed on the table very neatly.

Brigadier General Murray himself held a small file, trimming his nails. Unlike the navy brigadier general in his imagination, Brigadier General Murray's skin was somewhat baby-white. He wore a beige wig, and the whole person looked very easygoing, not over 35 years old.

"What are you doing, actually treating my guests like this."

Brigadier General Murray put the small file in his hand back into the iron box and returned it to its original place. His voice was not loud.

"Brigadier General, he is..."

Brigadier General Murray's adjutant spoke halfway, and Brigadier General Murray glanced at him. The adjutant didn't dare to continue speaking, signaling the navy soldiers to remove the ring shackles on Su Xiao's body.

"Sit, it's rare to see a legendary person. In the first 20 years of my life, I firmly believed that the Misfortune was just a legend."

"..."

Su Xiao sat at the wooden table, seemingly unintentionally picking up the telescope on the table. In fact, this thing was of Holy Spirit-level quality.

"You all retreat."

"Sir!"

"Hmm?"

Brigadier General Murray looked at his adjutant. Today his adjutant contradicted him twice, and he was unhappy in his heart, but didn't show it.

"Kuku Lin Bai Ye, can you tell me where that nameplate came from."

"Not for now."

Su Xiao certainly couldn't tell the other party. He couldn't say that the other party's ancestor was on his ship. ===== CHAPTER 2908 =====
