At this time, Captain Neharu, the lieutenant of Tyral, suddenly said:

"My lord, why don't we send another ship to divert that warship?"

"Lead the ship away?" Tyral was stunned, but quickly understood what Neharu meant, that is, to do another "diversion of the tiger from the mountain".

Tyral then detached a ship and attacked the island of São Jorge, which was relatively close to the island of Terceira. São Jorge Island is very close to Terceira, and it took most of the day to send a letter of help to Porterto Sangra de Marsípo.

I heard that there is only one pirate ship. Without even thinking about it, Silva sent the last of the ships. And his adjutant Lavalho reminded:

"My lord, there is no warship to protect Valora Harbor now......"

Rui. Silva waved his hand and said:

"It's okay, the City of Heroes is a fortified fortress with artillery protection. There are still hundreds of garrisons in the city, and they are not afraid of pirate attacks at all. Moreover, Terceira Island has only one port where Angra de Heroísmo can be docked. But the pirate ship did not dare to land again, because it would be hit by the cannons on the city walls......"

Rui. Silva is right, in this era, big ships dare not dock casually without a professional dock. A big ship is not a small boat, and it is not afraid of running aground. If the boat runs aground, the sailors can push the boat away with force. And if the big ship runs aground, it will be finished directly, and you can only wait for the high tide. You know, there were no hoisting machines in this era, and ships relied heavily on the forces of nature. The island of Terceira is not big, and there is only one good port in the vicinity. Even if a pirate ship tries to attack Terceira, the ship will be a hassle to dock. In the past, when the pirate ships attacked the islands of São Miguel and São Jorge, they all docked at the only port in the region. However, there was no artillery counterattack in the castle of the local port, and they could only watch the pirates land on the docks, and did not dare to go out of the city to fight. Because, the garrison on the two islands is only a few dozen people, and they dare not provoke pirates of a few hundred people.

After the only warship in Angra Sansto-Heroes left, a cloud of wolf smoke suddenly rose on the island, and then three pirate ships stopped in the sea 10 kilometers west of Angra Sangra de Angra de Marshato.

Subsequently, dozens of rafts were dropped, carrying 150 sailors in batches, and began to land on the beach......

Because it was broad daylight, their behavior was naturally clearly seen by the Portuguese on the shore. Then, someone informed Rui of the situation in the Hero City, 10 kilometers away. Silva......

"What? One or two hundred pirates forcibly landed near the Silva plantation on a raft? ”

Rui. Silva panicked, he didn't expect that these pirates would not follow common sense and use a raft to land on the beach. You know, it's easy to land on a raft, but you can't take away large property. So, in general, pirates raid ready-made ports. In this way, the docks on the port can be used to load large items that have been looted. It would be convenient to send rafts and dinghys ashore. However, where there is no port, there must be no towns nearby, and there is no oil or water. What can you get by robbing those small villages?

Originally, Rui. Silva also felt a little strange. It wasn't until the second group of messengers came to tell him that the pirates had taken the slaves that had been captured from Silva's plantation a few months earlier. It dawned on Silva and his face turned pale......

"I see...... I see......"

No matter how stupid he was, he could react - what kind of pirate is this? It is clearly the army of the Beihai State......

The opponent was very clever, first pretending to be a pirate to attack the island of São Miguel and divert six ships from Porto Sangra, and then attacked the island of São Jorge and diverted the only ship left behind. Then, at this time, they began to land and attack the Silva plantation, snatching the enslaved sailors of the former North Sea State......

This is a ring after a ring, and the means are very clever. Moreover, the people sent one or two hundred people to land, and let Rui in the hero city . Silva didn't dare to act rashly. Because, there are only more than 100 garrison soldiers in his hands. Not to mention that the battle may not be able to defeat the enemy, and Rui. Silva didn't dare to send anyone out of the city, giving up guarding Angra do Heroísmo, the most important port city in the Azores......

Therefore, he could only watch as the Marines of the North Sea Kingdom rescued the 38 enslaved sailors in Silva's estate. Before leaving, as if to vent their anger, the North Sea sailors burned down all the houses on Silva's plantation......

Thinking of the news that his own barony had been attacked by various kinds of attacks from the land, Rui. Silva still doesn't understand - what he has done has long been found out. Moreover, a strong retaliation was given.

He robbed the transport ship of the Beihai Kingdom this time, but he made a profit of more than 30,000 gold coins. However, the loss of the barony has exceeded 20,000 gold coins.

The most terrifying thing is that his only son, who is a few years old, was kidnapped for a long time, scaring the people of Barony Silva's half to death. Although half a day later, the kidnappers sent the person back. However, the little young master who sent it back had a small note on his body, which read-I can't die of your country, but I can kill you...... and your son......

Combined with this so-called "piracy" incident in the Azores, Rui. Silva understood it all - it was all done by that Marin in the North Sea Country. The other party is clever and ruthless. Compared to him, he is simply too weak. The most terrifying thing is that his people can kill their only son at any time......

Thinking of this, Rui. Silva slumped in her chair and muttered:

"I'm provoking a ruthless person who shouldn't be provoked......"

However, it didn't end there......

……

A few days after the rescue operation ended, a Portuguese merchant ship laden with Indian spices was hijacked off the coast of Madeira......

The person responsible for hijacking the ship was none other than "Captain Jack" and his "Black Pearl", which Marin valued very much. Because of the modification, the "Black Pearl" is a little faster than the average ship. So, unsurprisingly, the unlucky Portuguese transport ship was caught up and the whole ship was captured.

At this time, the English pirates and Barbary pirates in the Atlantic had not yet risen. Only the Mediterranean Sea and the golden waters of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea are areas of pirate activity. Therefore, the Portuguese were also negligent and were caught by "Captain Jack" and "Black Pearl......

After capturing the Portuguese merchant ship, "Captain Jack" cocked his orchid fingers, jumped onto the captured Portuguese transport, and said in a strange air in not very proficient Portuguese:

"Don't be nervous, babes! We are pirates, principled pirates! So, we're not going to kill people indiscriminately......"

But as soon as the Portuguese crew breathed a sigh of relief, "Captain Jack" ruthlessly ordered the captain and first mate of the Portuguese transport ship to be killed......

The Portuguese sailors looked confused - what if they said they wouldn't kill? You lied to us?

At this time, "Captain Jack" spoke with his orchid finger again:

"Don't be afraid, babies, I'm just revenge for killing those two guys. The specific reason, tell your master, it is Rui. Trouble with Baron Silva! ”

"In addition, I will weigh 38,000 ducats worth of spices as compensation for the losses Baron Silva has caused us......"

"I want to emphasize - we are principled pirates, and if we say kill your whole family, we will kill your whole family! Well, we're just taking back our losses this time...... I'm here to tell you, we're going to take 33,000 gold worth of spices as compensation for the goods. Another 4,000 gold coins are compensation for the destroyed ships (because the shape of the 250-class merchant ship is too special to be shot. Silva ruined). As for the remaining 1,000 gold coins, they are used as pensions for the dead captain and first mate......"

These are all things that Marin deliberately asked "Captain Jack" to tell those Portuguese sailors, he just wanted to tell the Portuguese - Lao Tzu is very disciplined and only takes back his losses! As for the ship's losses, you blame Baron Silva......

In short, Rui. Silva is having trouble this time. Because, the loss of spices on this ship, and all the losses of the Azorean estates in the execution of the "divert the tiger from the mountain" strategy, are to blame on him......

After weighing the spices worth 38,000 gold coins, "Captain Jack" happily let go of the Portuguese spice ship......

Before leaving, "Captain Jack" cocked his orchid finger and repeatedly emphasized:

"We are principled pirates, very principled, and never mess around! Remember! ”
