Chapter 55: Dog Eats Dog
Chapter 55: Dog Eats Dog
"When I first went upstairs, I noticed that many people in the hall were blatantly drinking, and all this wine came from the earl, right?" William understood a lot of questions when he thought about it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"That's right, the king trusts him very much, and it is said that the reason why the king issued a ban on alcohol is also related to his instigation," Sherlock gritted his teeth, "Now it seems that he wants to take control of the national liquor industry after the promulgation of the prohibition order, relying on his status and power, and take all the profits into his pocket, the smuggling network we worked hard to build is probably taken by him, so he will be attacked, no wonder we couldn't enter the market of Kalmar City anyway." ”
Aramis took an unopened red wine at this time, William took it and turned the bottle, observed the traces of the label and packaging, and frowned: "This is our goods?"
Alcamis nodded with an ugly face, Alcatio and his gang not only robbed their business, but also pocketed their local goods, and then sold them in a grand manner, if it weren't for William's pressure, these impulsive young people would have killed Alcatio Mansion directly and dismantled him.
Shylock was even more angry than Aramis and the others, and the first thing he did when he arrived in Kalmar was to find out the whereabouts of his father's body, only to be told that the body had been thrown into the sea.
His father, a decent businessman, died in a humiliating foreign land, and he could not even find his body.
For Shylock, the only reason for him to be alive now is to avenge his father, which is his duty as Thassarian's only son!
"William, with your skills, with some preparations, it won't be difficult to kill Arcatio," Sherlock said with red eyes, "Redbeard, you're on the ship now, you can poison it." ”
"What about the navy?" William asked rhetorically, "the mastermind of the navy has not yet been confirmed, and I have already asked Ah Jin to investigate, and there may be news soon." ”
William leaned forward, put his hand on Sherlock's shoulder, stared into his eyes, and said, "But I want to say, is it enough to kill them?"
"I don't think it's enough," William replied to himself without waiting for Sherlock to speak, "what they do to us, we should do to them, and what is lost must be doubled, their lives are just interest, I want not only their lives, I want everything from them!"
Sherlock's breath became thicker, of course he wanted to cut Alcatio and the others as quickly as possible, every day of patience was a torment for him, but he knew that he could only rely on William and his gang to complete revenge now, and he must obey William's plan, not to mention that William would never give up his revenge, after all, Wallon was killed by the other party.
Sherlock was silent for a moment before asking, "What are you going to do?"
"Let's dog-eat-dog first, and then we'll be the first to get rid of Barbarossa and take the Redbeard Pirates. William said.
"Redbeard" Barbarossa seems to be the strongest, but in fact it is the best to deal with William and others, because Redbeard's biggest reliance is force, as long as there is comparable force, and can get the trust of Alcatio and the naval forces, then William can replace him.
During the time he was lurking on the Redbeard Pirates, based on what he had seen and heard, he already had a more complete plan in mind.
……
After discussing and perfecting the next course of action between William and Sherlock, he left the tavern and returned to the street.
Looking at his casual appearance, I am afraid that no one could have imagined that he had just discussed with his companions how to kill his captain.
A shout came from behind him, and William looked back, only to find that it was the deputy captain Lacey, who was walking briskly towards him, with several old pirates beside him, all of whom were considered the elite of the ship.
William's heart sank, and his hand seemed to fall unintentionally on the handle of the scimitar, his Juhe slash had practiced countless times, whether it was a bamboo mat, a wooden stake, a big tree, a bluestone or a human body, it was vulnerable in front of his Juhe swordsmanship, hidden and fast, with strong explosive power.
If Lacey had come within striking distance of him and hadn't made a defensive move and reaction in advance, he would have been able to kill with one sword.
William pretended to have a puzzled look on his face, but his body under the loose clothes was ready to exert his strength, and Lacey didn't notice his bad intentions at all, and said from afar: "I'm looking for you everywhere." ”
"Did something happen?" William relaxed at this time, if Lacey really found out his secret, it was impossible to say this far away, and he had not made any offensive movements.
"It's a little trouble, you come with me. Lacey came to William with a faint impatience on his face, but without much explanation, he motioned for William to follow him, and continued to walk towards the intersection.
An old pirate who explains to William on his way.
There are hundreds of people on the whole ship of the Redbeard Pirates, and all of these people are out of production, and the daily eating, drinking, and Lazar are a huge consumption.
Some supplies can be obtained by looting or extorting villages and towns, but the armaments consumed in battle are not so easy to obtain.
After a naval battle, the cannonballs fired, the throwing axes and knives thrown out, the bullets that were shot, the gunpowder that was burned, and the broken swords...... None of this is a small amount, and pirates are always immune to naval battles, so they need a stable supply channel.
Because they are backed by a powerful local snake, the Redbeard Pirates' military supplies are mainly replenished by Arcatio, who generally relies on the transfer of supplies from the army of the Kingdom of Navia, and because of his good relationship with Colonel Roy, he can occasionally bring some new naval weapons and equipment to the Redbeard Pirates.
But "Redbeard" Barbarossa can think of a group with William, form a network with the other two forces, and run rampant in the East China Sea, if not a grand talent, he is definitely not a stupid person, he will not hand over an important lifeline of the ship to others, leaving no way back.
The Redbeard Pirates are in Kalmar City, and there are also arms dealers they know, compared to Alcatio, who is just moving army supplies and being a mouse, the other party is actually more professional, so Barbarossa is not less in charge of buying weapons from the other party.
But since he is a merchant, he naturally does not only sell his goods to the Redbeard Pirates.
Among these buyers are representatives of the kingdom who want to secretly wage war, so they secretly hoard military supplies, and there are also notorious pirates.
The old pirate told William that it was related to the latter, and that Reiborn was going to buy supplies from an arms dealer he knew, but he got information that there was a gang of pirates who didn't do well with the Redbeard Pirates, and it happened to be there.
Because the captain Barbarossa was not there, and Reis didn't know how many people the other party had brought, so he thought about gathering a group of good men to go together, if there were more people on the other side, then there would be no loss in the conflict, and if the other party had few people, Reis didn't mind taking the opportunity to start a war and kill the other party.
"Who is on the other side, who dares to be our enemy?" asked William.
Barbarossa "Redbeard" has a bounty of 19 million Bailey, which is due to his collusion with Alcatio and the Navy to place many charges on other pirates.
And the average bounty of the East China Sea pirates is only three or four million, more than ten million Bailey, which is already a great sea pirate, so William is inevitably curious.
Lacey, who had been walking at the front of the team with a calm face, suddenly turned his head when he heard William's words, and after glancing at William, he said word by word: "Chef Pirates, 'Red Feet', Zhep!"
