Chapter 162: Black Clouds Crush the City (Part II)
Selkirk looked coldly at the Navy warship opposite, and a pirate next to him asked, "Second mate, what should I do?"
Selkirk didn't even look at him: "The captain said that the city is closed, then no one is allowed to come in, and no one is allowed to go out." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"But on the other side is the Navy ...... after all. The pirate hesitated.
Selkirk directly reached out and grabbed the pirate's neck, threw him off the bow of the ship with one force, and cursed: "Greedy for life and afraid of death. β
Selkirk instructed another pirate beside him: "Send two ships to follow the warship, and if there is any abnormal movement, directly open fire to sink them." β
With the experience of the unlucky ghost just now, the pirates who heard the order dared to show the slightest hesitation, and hurriedly left the bow of the ship.
After the pirate left, Selkirk continued to look at the naval warship, the two ships were not far away, such a person with outstanding eyes as Selkirk could already see the surging heads on the opposite deck, there seemed to be a person in the bow of the ship looking through a telescope, Selkirk showed a sneer in the direction where the other party was.
Born in the North Sea and on the Great Voyages, Selkirk was not afraid of the navy of the East China Sea, and he was once reprimanded by William for charging tolls from passing ships, so he did not dare to discount the orders handed down by William.
That's why William asked Harden to send Selkirk to be in charge of blocking the docks.
On the navy's warship, a naval major put down his binoculars, cursed in a low voice, and then asked the bystander: "Is the chief's phone through!?"
"Through!" a soldier hurriedly handed over the phone bug.
Before the Navy Major could speak, a voice came from the other side of the phone: "Which group of pirates are blocking the docks?"
The Navy Lieutenant glanced at the pirate flag fluttering in the wind on the opposite side, on the black flag, the skull seemed to be looking down on others, with a solemn smile on the corner of his mouth, and the letter "M" on the tricorne hat on his head was quite conspicuous.
In fact, most of the pirate flags in this world are painted by random people, many of which are graffiti works of laymen, but William, a professional elite in his previous life, pays great attention to the brand image, and even the pirate flags are specially designed by professionals, which can be called an outlier in the pirate industry.
His pirate flag is definitely standout, and people can remember it at a glance.
"It's the Morgan Pirates. The lieutenant commander replied.
"Morgan Pirates?" the commander on the other end of the line muttered suspiciously, then ordered, "Don't act rashly, don't get into conflict with them. β
The captain said hurriedly: "Sir, but ......." β
The person on the other end of the phone bug unceremoniously interrupted: "Major, this is an order!"
After the other party finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and the naval major gritted his teeth and glanced at the pirate ship opposite, and ordered unwillingly: "Let's return to the dock." β
β¦β¦
The people of the aristocratic district did not know that the entire city's docks had been blocked by William, or rather, they were in no mood to pay attention to the docks.
The commotion in the slums gradually expanded, and some thugs were no longer willing to rob the poor ghosts in the same area, and began to step into the civilian areas under the leadership of people with evil intentions, and even worse, some people had already gone to the noble districts to steal and even rob, and the whole city was in chaos, even the noble districts were not spared.
The Minister of the Interior, Count Rearde, can also be regarded as a resolute man, since he has made up his mind to eradicate Arcatio, seeing the riots, he commanded the guards to take the opportunity to attack Alcatio's estate, but unfortunately Alcatio has already taken precautions, he has arranged a lot of manpower in his house, and has hidden a lot of new bolt rifles and revolvers, plus he can use cover when defending, and there is no master on Rearde's side, Alcatio's manor cannot be conquered for a while.
The once quiet and peaceful aristocratic district suddenly turned into a battlefield full of bullets, and the gunfire continued near Alcatio's estate, and some nobles who did not help each other hid in their homes and shivered, wondering why the city had changed in just a few days.
Arcatio pretended to be calm, wiping the cold sweat oozing from his forehead with a handkerchief, he had lost his previous composure, today's thing is done, he will be in power, even if it is a certain dynasty usurping the throne, it is not without a chance, if it fails, then his Buendia family will definitely disappear.
"Is there any news from the army?" Arcatio asked sharply.
The Minister of the Interior, Reild, has no name and must deal with Alcatio as soon as possible, and when he finds that the manor cannot be captured, he will definitely send troops.
Butler Eaton was startled by Alcatio's tone, and hurriedly ran out of the room, but after a while, he ran back with a phone bug: "Master, the city garrison is dispatched." β
Alcatio's eyebrows twitched, and he hurriedly took the phone bug and dialed William, and after connecting, without waiting for William to speak, he had already said urgently: "Reald has already dispatched troops, you can also send troops!"
"Okay," William asked, speaking calmly, "how's your situation going over there?"
Alcatio looked in the direction of the window, where the gunfire had intensified: "Still holding." β
After a few more words, the two hung up, and Alcatio exhaled, leaned back in his chair, and stroked his left chest, where his heart was beating hard.
Reald dispatched an army, no matter what, he can't escape the charge of rebellion, after today, he Alcatio is the most important figure in the kingdom of Navia, Norton I, the faint king, does not need to worry at all, he has been played by him all the time.
Only now there is another threat.
When Alcatio had calmed down a little, he got up and left the room, went to the reception room, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw two naval officers looking at him with a wary face.
"This group of rebels and thieves has actually clashed with my distinguished guests," Alcatio stepped forward quickly with a pretended apology: "Colonel Mouse, the hospitality is not good, I am really sorry for you this time." β
Presented as a guest by Arcatio was none other than the newly promoted commander of the 16th Division of the Navy, Colonel Mouse.
The mouse listened to the incessant sound of gunfire, and said unhappily, "Every time I come to you, nothing good seems to happen, Lord Earl. β
Alcatio looked up and smiled, clapped his hands, and the butler Eaton had already appeared in the room like a ghost carrying two boxes.
Waiting for Eaton to put the boxes on the table, Alcatio pointed to one of the boxes and said to the mouse: "Colonel, this is what I told you, the information of the Morgan Pirates and the sea pirate Stolt, these people have caused trouble in the waters around the Kingdom of Navia for many years, Stolt is even more famous for his cunning, he has been hiding his head and tail, hiding his true face, but unfortunately I have the evidence of the crime, and now is the time when the navy needs to administer justice!"
Colonel Rat was noncommittal: "The Morgan Pirates are not easy to mess with. β
"You should be clearer about my relationship with Roy," Arcatio pointed to the second box, "Whether you rely on the strength of your own branch or the power of other navies, as long as you do your best to help me eradicate this group of pirates, then I will transfer forty percent of the shares of my trading company to you, which is more than I gave Roy in the first place, and we can cooperate more in the future." β
