Chapter 297: The Honey Badger Party (Third Update)
Chapter 297: The Honey Badger Party
East Sea, Kalmar City.
The day after the riot at the tavern, the entire city navy was mobilized, which frightened Basco and his squad by surprise, thinking that the navy was going to make a big move because of what happened in the tavern yesterday.
But then, they found out that the transfer of the navy was to draw out manpower and send them to exterminate the raging pirates, which had nothing to do with the tavern, and those naval soldiers had no chance to retaliate against them, so they were ordered to board the warship as soon as possible and were sent to the naval bases of various branches in the East China Sea.
But before Basco and the others could breathe a sigh of relief, they received a notice of punishment from their superiors.
It is true that the navy did not have time to retaliate against those present at the time of the tavern riot, but when the news spread, the nobles of the Navia Kingdom heard about it, but they were afraid that the navy of the headquarters would be dissatisfied with them, after all, they were able to regain the right to rule and restore their status, relying on the navy of the headquarters, and the tavern riot made these nobles also perceive a trace of bad signs, so they immediately dealt with Basco and others, as well as the participants of the tavern riot who could be traced.
Basco and the others were not only locked up in confinement, beaten with military sticks, but also fined their military salaries, and then transferred to the deserted port to inspect the security.
There are many similar squads to Basco, and after the withdrawal of the personnel from the Navy Headquarters, many key facilities have been handed over to the local armed personnel, and in the eyes of the four vice admirals Karp, Stoloberry, Dalmesia and Dauberman, they are trying to encircle and suppress the pirates in the East China Sea, and in the case of insufficient manpower, they take the initiative to shrink their forces and use them in more critical and useful places.
But in the eyes of Danpier, Alamis, Chloe and others, who had anticipated the Navy's reaction, the Navy's actions amounted to voluntarily ceding control of the city.
Unlike those of the headquarters navy who came from other places, the local grassroots armed personnel had intricate relationships in the local area, they themselves were either sympathetic to William's gang, or fearful of the remaining strength of William's gang, and even more connected to William's gang, and were far less conscientious than the people of the navy headquarters in blockading and defending the city.
Originally, William's hardcore supporters in the city were either transferred away by William in advance, or in the subsequent capture by the navy, they fled the city, or were arrested and imprisoned, and the people who stayed behind were angry and dissatisfied, which was equivalent to a plate of scattered sand, they had no courage, no strength, and no ability to resist, and after several suppressions, they did not even dare to try.
But now, when a large number of the headquarters navy appeared in various parts of the East China Sea, causing the city's defenses to be empty again, those loyal to William were once again infiltrating the city of Kalmar.
On the night of the third day when the city defense was handed over to the locals by the navy of the headquarters, a small fishing boat crossed the storm and anchored at a private port outside the city of Kalmar.
The dark-skinned Abram took the lead, jumped out of the boat with agility, looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one, he beckoned to the fishing boat, and several teenagers jumped down.
The group formed a loose formation and made their way to the city vigilantly, and they moved quite smoothly along the way, partly because they were familiar with the terrain, and partly because the local guards themselves were not as conscientious as the original navy.
At the edge of the city wall, Abram suddenly stopped, picked up a stone from under his feet, and drew a stick figure of a honey badger on the wall.
Looking at the honey badger in a running motion, Abram smiled, showing his white teeth: "Kalmar City, your true master is coming back soon." ”
The so-called honey badger is not the most powerful animal in nature, but it is the most ferocious and fearless animal in nature.
……
Smoker puffed into the smoke and stared at the ruins in front of him.
"These pirates are so powerful?" Smoker was in disbelief.
The place where he stood at his feet should be the base of the 153rd Division of the East China Sea Navy, and the reason why he said yes was because it was difficult to see the appearance of the naval base here, and it was no longer what it looked like when it was ravaged by artillery fire.
Smoker crouched on the ground, examining the stones stained with the blood that had solidified, and behind him, a lieutenant of the local navy, a lucky man, reported sadly: "When the first wave of these pirates attacked, it seemed that they all chose to do it at night, and when they attacked us, they used a method called ' Bucky's weapons, when most of us are asleep, attack and bombard the fortress, this kind of shell can destroy most of the fortress wall with just one shot, and it only takes a few rounds to destroy the fortress and open the gap. ”
"After destroying the fortress, they took advantage of our panic to use poison gas bombs, we rarely use gas masks in normal times, and we were suddenly attacked on a large scale at night, so there was no way to make effective protection, so the base was easily breached, and the officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties, resulting in the inability to organize an effective counterattack after reacting afterwards. ”
Smoker frowned, kept sucking on his cigar, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Did the pirates appear in the waters around here after this?"
The lieutenant of the 153rd Division nodded.
"How many ships are still moving at the base?" asked Smoker again.
"Two, two, but both are small boats. Said the lieutenant of the 153rd Division.
"Very well, let's go now to arrest these pirates, I hope to get some information about the Morgan Group from these pirates. Smoker commanded with a bit of a snack.
When the lieutenant of the division heard this, he said in a snort: "But with these two small ships alone, I am afraid that they will not be the opponents of those pirates, and you don't seem to have enough manpower." ”
Smoker glanced behind him, he only brought a few officers and soldiers from the headquarters this time, and the lieutenant of the division also looked at these people, just by the quantity, the support of the headquarters to the 153rd division this time was simply shabby.
Who knows, Smoker said lightly: "It's enough, as long as you wear a gas mask, you will be foolproof." ”
"It's ....... ”
"Lieutenant," Smoker's eyes sharpened, "it's an order!"
The lieutenant of the branch had no choice but to obey the order and leave, leaving Smoker standing where he was, muttering to himself, "This is your last dying throes, Morgan William?"
The pirates' behavior of harassing the local area, although it will cause some trouble to the navy of the headquarters, is only a trouble, and it is just wishful thinking to use this opportunity to escape from prison, and Smoker feels that William is not like someone who would do this.
The lieutenant was quickly arranged, and Smoker led his men aboard two small boats that looked like they would sink without a few shots.
The surviving local divisional navy all trembled, and the officers and men of the headquarters who followed Smoker comforted them and reassured them.
Smoker led the people and searched the sea with a small boat for two days, but they couldn't find the pirate ship, but they didn't think that on the third day, a pirate ship took the initiative to find them.
It seems that the navy that is patrolling the sea area in two ridiculous boats is easy to bully. [.]
