Chapter 35: The Rainstorm (Part I)
Chapter 35: The Rainstorm (Part II)
Barbarossa is the captain of the Redbeard Pirates, with a bounty of 19 million Bailey, which is already a great pirate in the East China Sea, and in this sea, only a few well-known pirates such as "Redfoot" Zhep, who became the captain of the pirates as a chef, can compete with him.
Hayreddin is a navigator on the Redbeard Pirates, and another pirate named Lacey, both of whom were Barbarossa's first cronies to go to sea together, and are cousins.
Eaton handed the information to Arcatio, who casually examined it and handed it to Barbarossa.
"This is the timetable for the entry and exit of the other party's ships in and out of the various docks, as well as the daily passages," Alcatio said calmly, "I want you to steal their goods and kill all their men." ”
Barbarossa didn't respond, and Alcatio smiled disappreciatively: "Your bounty has increased recently, but I found someone to suppress it and put the case on other pirates, although nineteen million Bailey is not a lot, but after all, it still starts with 10 million, which cannot be compared with 20 million Bailey." ”
"But after this is done, won't the bounty still be raised? What's the use!" Barbarossa said disapprovingly.
"As long as you keep things under the control of the kingdom of Navia, this matter will not be publicized, and your bounty will not increase as a result. One person pushed open the door and said gloomily.
Several people in the room turned their heads to look, and realized that it was a small naval officer, but although he was not tall, he was very large, in addition to wearing a white trench coat owned by a naval colonel, carrying a golden tassel on his shoulder, and holding a thick cigar in his mouth.
If William, Ah Jin and the others were here, I am afraid they would feel familiar, because this little man was the naval commander of the Denton Pirates who chased the wolf rush back then.
Barbarossa and Hayreddin frowned in unison, but Alcatio greeted him eagerly: "Lieutenant Colonel Roy......." ”
The small officer was followed by a young man in a navy uniform who looked a little sinister, and then interrupted: "It's Colonel Roy!"
"Mouse!" Colonel Roy raised his hand to stop the second lieutenant named Mouse, "The Earl is my old friend, no rudeness!"
Alcatio's displeasure at the rat's rudeness was not revealed, and he clapped his hands with a look of pleasure: "This is the happiest news I've heard today." ”
Colonel Roy's Sixteenth Division of the Navy, whose sphere of influence includes the waters around the Kingdom of Navia, has long known Alcatio.
Colonel Roy exchanged a few words with Alcatio, then sat down on the sofa and sat opposite Alcatio, Barbarossa, and Hayreddin.
By this time, this room had already gathered the nobles of the kingdom, the supreme commander of the naval branch, and the pirates who were famous in the East China Sea.
Powerful, powerful, forced.
On the big stage of the whole world, it can be said that it is not worth mentioning, but for the East China Sea and the Navia Kingdom, the collusion of these three kinds of people together is enough to form a huge net that ordinary people feel breathless.
Nature's beasts of prey never hold back when they are ready to hunt for food, whether they are facing foxes, rabbits, or wolves.
……
"When will the rain stop?"
In the midst of the storm, Wallon roared.
The torrential rain lasted for three days, and there was no sign of stopping.
The cargo ship that Wallon, Edmund and others are watching over can only stagger and struggle in the face of the majesty of nature, like a toy ship.
Edmund was helping to control the sails, and the pouring rain and wind were so hard that he could only scream hard to hear what he was saying, "You don't care when it stops, are you still going to die?"
Wallon stopped talking, he wiped the rain from his face, and peeked around, but saw a sailor with a monocular dancing and shouting something at the stern of the ship, but now everyone was busy maneuvering the ship, and the sound was not far away in the rainstorm, and no one noticed him for a while.
"Edmond!" called Wallon.
Edmund grabbed a sailor who almost fell into the sea because of a slippery foot, and said faintly irritably, "What's the matter?"
"There seems to be a situation over there!" Wallon pointed to the sailor at the stern of the ship.
At this time, some of the surrounding crew members also noticed this person's movements.
Edmund and Wallon hurried over, and when they came to the dancing sailor, they heard what he was calling: "There is a ship! It looks like a pirate ship! I see the black flag." ”
Edmund pulled a monocular from his bosom and looked in the direction the sailor was pointing.
Sure enough, in the midst of the rain, a three-masted clipper was heading towards them with bad intentions, and although the heavy rain hindered observation, the occasional lightning in the sky allowed Edmund to see the black flag tied to the other man's mast.
"Another bunch of bastards who aren't afraid to die!" Edmund sneered.
But the sailor who had just reported the news also held up his binoculars and exclaimed, "Redbeard Pirates! It's the Redbeard Pirates!"
Coincidentally, the deputy captain who had rushed to hear the news also heard this, and he, like Edmund and Wallon, changed color after hearing the name.
Barbarossa, who has not been surrounded by the navy, has been crisscrossing the East China Sea with his red-bearded pirates for many years, so it can be said that he is notorious among the local people, and various legends and rumors about him are endless, some say that he is invulnerable, some say that he once made a contract with a sea demon and sold his soul, so he can use magic against his enemies, which is why he is so powerful and cruel to his enemies.
It is said that any enemy captured by Redbeard will be sacrificed to the demons by him.
"Throw away all the cargo on the ship, we'll run away!" The deputy captain estimated the distance between the two sides, they were driving a cargo ship, and the speed was slower than the other party, but thanks to the blessing of the storm, if you throw away the baggage and increase the speed, you may not be able to take advantage of the momentum of this rainstorm to temporarily get rid of the three-masted clipper of the Redbeard Pirates, this kind of weather visibility is extremely low, and it is not so easy to catch up after throwing off the tow.
"No!" Edmund rejected the offer without much thought, "In this weather, we may capsize if we lose the cargo in the ballast!"
In fact, capsizing the ship is certainly not as easy as Edmund said, he is more of a self-esteem, when other companions have taken care of the ship in the past, they have never said anything about polishing the goods and running away, if he does this, he will feel shameless.
"What 'Redbeard', and he made a pact with the devil," Edmund cheered up, "Wallon, I guess he told me the story you made up to bluff people like you guys called Denton." ”
"If it was a great pirate, he would have gone to the Great Voyage a long time ago, and those who stayed for so long must have been stinky fish and rotten shrimp, and I don't know how many pirates like us have cut down this year, they are all garbage that only dares to show their teeth and claws to the common people," Edmund grinned at Wallon, who was still a little worried, "I still remember you told me that you robbed Denton's treasure map at the beginning, and this time I will learn from you to rob a bigger pirate!"
