"Hey, I said guys, what the hell did you do in the Yogyakarta Kingdom? The giants are going crazy. ”
The pirates who tied the ropes for Luo Zhengdao and his party excitedly inquired about the first-hand news, although there are no professional paparazzi in the new world, but the enthusiasm of the people here for gossip news has not diminished!
Gao De looked at a few of his companions who were bored and didn't mean to speak, and said:
"Hehehehe, don't ask so much, in short, these big men will be very busy recently, and the arms trade of the greenskins can only be stopped first."
There is no doubt that the kingdom of Yogyakarta, which is rich in natural resources, is indeed very rich, and in a long-term stable and peaceful atmosphere, the armament level of the kingdom of Yogyakarta is also quite good, but the key problem is that the maritime power of this country is extremely tragic. As the third rank of the people and the main force of the standing army, the dwarves are easy to get seasick, and they can make do with the smuggling and bandits in the coastal waters, but if the dwarves are called to sail for many years, it is absolutely useless. The human slaves of the fourth rank are not qualified to be soldiers, and they are directly out of the game, and the giants who are high up in the sky are obsessed with religious rituals all day long, and the backbone of this country is the cyclops who are too big. Even if you can build a giant warship that can accommodate the Cyclops, it will be too bulky and a live target to send to your door as soon as you go to sea.
Although its own navy is a product of tragedy, the Yogyakarta Kingdom still needs to save face after all, and several visiting pirate representatives have turned their own upside down. The Yogyakarta Kingdom, which had not had much sincerity in negotiation, simply turned its face and began to carry out full-scale military cooperation with the Second Goblin Empire.
The goblins and giants hit it off, not only to relieve their allies' worries, but also to imply that the goblin armada began to carry out targeted large-scale cleanup operations against pirate gangs active in the waters around the Yogyakarta Kingdom. It is conceivable that the pirates will not stand indifferent to the combination of goblins and giants, and a great war is already on the way.
Accustomed to the days of eating the sea by the sea, the pirates mainly used light fast ships to chase prey and jump gang white-knuckle tactics, similar to Luo Zhengdao and Gaode Needham with large battleships as the core of the pirate group, in the current era does not belong to the conventional model, but similar to the regular naval fleet of small countries, so encountered the threat of force of the Goblin Invincible Armada, the pirate group's numerical superiority in warships is simply impossible to wield. Most of the pirate warships were light and fast cruisers, light cruisers, and frigates, and in the face of the artillery bombardment of the two armies' battle lines, these small ships were too fragile to compete head-on with the goblins' galleys even if they were pulled to engage in white-knuckle combat.
First, the sail ship is a melee expert, and secondly, in terms of the number of people on board, the pirate ship, which is dominated by light warships, will also be defeated. In the end, many of the seemingly powerful and prestigious pirate gangs could only play the peripheral role of the guerrillas, responsible for harassing and delaying the activities of the goblin fleet, and it was difficult to count on them in a real fight on the frontal battlefield.
When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! At least in principle, it is true that the spirit cannot defeat the material after all, so killing people with their eyes has always been a myth and legend. Unless you're born with an evil eye, or a laser eye, or a writing wheel eye, or something, don't have such unbounded dreams.
In the social environment of the New World, which is highly demonic, the popularization of magic is far from reaching the rotten street that people in the old world fantasize about idleness, and it can even be said that it is far from the level that should be in the heyday of magical civilization. If in the preceding primeval, ancient, antiquity, and medieval eras, the proud sons of the era who have achieved great things, such as the magic card master, the dragon civilization, and the first goblin empire, are more or less mortal beings comparable to the gods in some aspects, then in the current new era of relatively withered demons, the new world is just a mediocre stage for mortals.
Needless to say, the individual abilities of the New World have taken a back seat, and the extreme example of how easily an army can be leveled on its own, or even the destruction of a powerful nation, can only be traced in the faded history books on parchment and the legends sung by the bards, who may still exist in a corner, but also far from the eyes of mortals
"Without consulting everyone, you directly attacked the Yogyakarta Kingdom, and you made things worse."
"Don't talk nonsense, it's like this now, you say what to do!"
When he returned to New Caledonia, he was accused of incompetence by other pirate leaders, and the negotiators actually made the peace negotiations with the Yogyakarta Kingdom such a virtuous act, and it was also difficult to escape the blame of Gaude Needham, who was personally involved, and he had no position to accuse others of saying this in a sulky manner.
The question of accountability was a trivial matter, and it was imperative to determine what tactics to use in an engagement with the Armada to ensure victory, a matter that could not be decided through the deliberations of the pirate assembly, not to mention that the greater the number of people involved in the development of the plan, the greater the risk of information leakage, and there was no shortage of people who wanted to exchange the heads of their peers for a game of wealth. The most terrible thing is that the efficiency of the decision-making method of the conference is too low, everyone comes out and says a word, and the day will pass, this kind of efficiency can be done as a bird thing! At this moment, the twelve pirate leaders sitting in the room are the highest decision-making circles elected by the pirate assembly, and they will make choices on behalf of the pirate coalition and complete the tactical arrangements for the battle with the Goblin Invincible Armada.
Looking at the dignity of these participants, it is clear why the pirates have left such a bad impression on the outside world, and their personal image is indeed unflattering!
The one-eyed dragon, the lame, the wooden legs, and the iron hook hand, probably except for the well-dressed Luo Zhengdao and Gao De, most of the rest of these pirate leaders have paid a terrible price for their adventures across the seven seas.
It is true that high-level divine arts can regenerate severed limbs and even resurrect the dead, but with the sensitive status of pirates, they would never dare to go to a place like the temple for help. You know, many temples themselves also work as law enforcement agencies, and the holy warriors are double-flowered red sticks, and if you want to really fight, it is not easy to mess with any of those temples. The choice of the pirate leader is to wait until the future to go ashore and clear their identity and property, and then it will be too late to consider magic to repair the disabled, and now, as the old saying goes, the wounded beast is the most ferocious, and these guys can do anything terrible.
"Attacking important places that the enemy has to protect is the secret to victory."
Luo Zhengdao's words brazenly plagiarized the maxims of the old world military strategists, but this argument was not enough to convince the pirate lords present, and one of the participants quietly ridiculed:
"What is there in the goblins that must be protected? Their royal palaces? Hahahaha......"
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao did not delve into the mockery implied in the other party's words, but put on a reasonable appearance, patiently explained his proposition to the participants, and said:
"The Goblin Navy's expansion requires a large supply of arms from the Kingdom of Yogyakarta, and now the Giant's gun factory in the capital has been blown up, according to the latest information, the output here only accounts for a quarter of the total output of the Yogyakarta King's industry, and another arsenal on the volcanic island is the most important production area. Ladies and gentlemen, do you think the goblins will watch if there is a threat of piracy here? ”
Anyone can talk on paper, Luo Zhengdao's remarks failed to satisfy the pirate leaders, and one leader said in a low voice:
"Your Excellency, you said it very easily, I have been to that place before, and the shore-based fort is not easy to deal with, not to mention that we will have to deal with so many cyclops guards after we board the 6th, are you joking with everyone?"
As soon as he heard this, Luo Zhengdao, who had a smile as bright as the sun, shook his finger lightly and said:
"I didn't say I had to take down the artillery factory, wasn't the siege here to attract goblin reinforcements? They're the real targets...... As long as...... Hehehehe, of course, if you want to restrict the path of action of the Armada, you can't just use this method, I see that those people outside are also very idle, so it's better to help everyone find some business to do! ”
"Business? Hahahaha, what other business can we pirates do? ”
It would be too much nonsense to talk about ideals with poor pirates, but it would be a fruitful way to communicate with them.
If the map of the main 6 were spread out on the table, observers would soon notice that it was shaped roughly like a poached egg, an oval with irregular edges. In the fringe area of the main large 6, those uneven places have formed many natural deep-water harbors, to say that compared to the dry climate and sparse vegetation, the extreme strict zhòng does not see a drop of rain all year round in the arid inner 6 area, the coast of the main large 6 is undoubtedly very rich. At first glance, the coastline of the main large 6 is not long, and according to the number obtained by the survey of the personnel sent during the Bright Dynasty era, the actual circumference of the main large 6 is more than 62,000 miles, which is much larger than any large 6 on the earth.
It is no wonder that the Second Goblin Empire has always felt that this land is more than enough and not enough, no matter how hard they try, they will never be able to control the situation, and the land of the Lord 6 is indeed too vast. Needless to say, it would be an unrealistic dream to block all sea 6 passages on such a long coastline at the same time!
In the past, the human dynasties could not do it, and the Second Goblin Empire was also difficult to complete, and the limited number of goblin garrisons could only hold the strategic points and major cities of the main 6, and the countryside and wilderness were handed over to those traitors and puppet armies to manage. Those traitors can even betray their ancestors and races, how can there be any discipline at all, it is natural to bully the weak and fear the hard, once a large number of pirates are killed, these life-sparing guys will definitely run faster than anyone else. After losing the land and being liquidated by the goblins, then it is also a matter of the future, if you have a bloody battle with the pirates, you will die immediately, and these guys are still clear about which is more important.
