Anyone is small and insignificant in the face of the power of the state. The same goes for a strong Blackbeard.

Through the intelligence points that old Alfred left me, I didn't have much trouble getting Blackbeard's whereabouts.

It is said that after the Battle of Algiers, Blackbeard took refuge in the port city of Arish on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean. Although he took advantage of the chaos to escape, as the main target of the Spanish Navy, he must have suffered a serious loss of vitality, at least in the short term, and he will not be able to recover his vitality.

It was the territory of the Ottoman Empire, and although the Spaniards defeated the Ottomans at sea, it was only the ability to regain the interests that belonged to Spain and to gain full control in the Mediterranean, which Spain could not do now, and even less so in the future.

There is a high probability that the battle will not be at sea this time, so all we need to pursue is speed. Moreover, sailing through the Strait of Gibraltar on a large British Galen warship was a bit of a provocation to the Spaniards' bottom line, so I chose the Calais clipper sequence, which had both maneuverability and firepower.

There is no room for failure in this operation, so I decided to lead the team myself, I want to catch Blackbeard with my own hands, and count the old and new hatreds together!

The voyage went smoothly, and even one resupply in Crete along the way was treated fairly because of the formalities.

This is rare in the Eastern Mediterranean, which is famous for stealing customers, and of course, it also shows that the Ottoman Empire still has a strong control ability in the Eastern Mediterranean. To be honest, it didn't have anything to do with me in the first place, but now it has become my biggest help.

It was late afternoon when we arrived at the port of Arish, and it is said that during the day a grand camel race festival was held, and the owners of the camels who won the victory in the evening were feasting their guests, so the whole small harbor was still very lively.

Therefore, I chose not to get off the ship for the time being, after all, Oriental faces are still extremely rare here, and I am worried about causing unnecessary trouble, and I am even more worried that Blackbeard will become alert because of this, and the operation will be lost.

I stayed quietly on the deck and sent a few special operators off the ship to investigate. They're all well-trained guys, and more importantly, they don't look much different from the locals after they've done their makeup!

Nothing was gained on the first day, which is normal. A person has a heart to hide, and it is not easy to find him in the vast sea of people.

But in the end, it's not that hard - Blackbeard has a large number of pirate men, and they usually congregate in places like bars, and they are indiscriminate.

They are not wanted outside of the European sphere of influence, so they are relatively much more profligate! As long as you find these people, you will definitely be able to find Blackbeard's whereabouts!

With this in mind, I put the line out in the long run, and I believe that with patience, I will definitely be able to achieve something!

Sure enough, just three days later, the outstanding special combat team members found the meeting point from the slightest clue! And the spearhead is directed at a courtyard in the rich area in the south of the city!

It took more than a day for the capable subordinates of the Nine Ghosts to investigate the specific deployment inside, and there was a person in the middle who looked very much like Blackbeard.

Judging from the current situation, it is not too difficult to touch it without knowing it, but after encountering resistance, it is easy to attract the attention of the surrounding crowd, and I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble.

I am very satisfied with the results of their investigations. Seriously, it takes a lot of effort to train such a special operations detachment, but it is definitely worth it.

At this time, the situation is that the proper plot is in the people, and the success is in the sky, and what I need is a suitable opportunity, a chance to sneak in.

Of course, since Blackbeard is already under surveillance, then he must not be able to escape. Twenty-four hours a day, there are people watching this manor closely, and he is destined to fly with wings!

In my previous life, I remember once I went to West Africa on a cleaning mission, and in order to make sure that all the conditions were up to standard, I stayed with the target for a month.

Because they live in the same hotel, everyone looks up and doesn't look down every day, and they even become friends.

But a month later, when they delivered the goods, I still took the goods and the lives of both of them.

So I had enough patience to wait, and everything seemed so calm until twelve days later, a sudden rainstorm suddenly visited Arish!

The heavy dark night is like a pitch-black ink tank, rich and indissolvable. All the Arish soldiers and civilians had gone home to rest, and there were no pedestrians in the not wide streets.

Only the stray dogs that happened to cross the streets, and the cool dim lights in the houses, still told people that this was an inhabited town.

In the second half of the night, thunderstorms began to occur, and earth-shattering lightning frequently slashed into the sky, followed by thunder like the sky and the earth cracking!

Perfect! I changed into my night clothes and sighed in my heart. If God wants to judge Blackbeard, this is the best proof.

After two days of deduction, we have been on the ship of the simulated terrain exercise, the team members have deeply understood the essence of this operation! That is, except for the key figures, the others are not left!

The team members involved in the operation were all holding Charlie and Halleha's modified shotguns, which were equipped with * close-range assault versions, and the other equipment was also a truncated and lightweight version that I personally designed and improved.

It should be said that the players are fully prepared for the operation.

Walking in the dark night, the clothes on his body were crackled by the huge raindrops, no one made a sound, everyone marched silently and orderly according to the tactical formation.

Walking a few street corners, we were close to the target point, and we met the team members who came to pick them up, and everything was under control.

Getting closer, I crouched on a small mound in the northwest of the manor, quietly stared at the lights not far away, and secretly clenched my fists.

Second uncle, I'm here to fulfill my promise to you! In this process, whoever stands in front of me, I will die! Whether he's a pirate, a navy, or a king! It's all the same for me.

Waving his hand at the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao, the two teams of people immediately rushed forward! The first team quickly checked and confirmed that it was safe outside the wall, and then climbed over the wall to cover the second team's advance!

I climbed over the wall with the second team, and the two-metre-high obstacle only took two seconds for us. After coming down to the whole team, suddenly a figure appeared in front of me!

I pressed down with my right hand to make no noise, and the team members immediately hid quietly.

I watched it for a few seconds, and it was a pirate who came out to relieve him, and he didn't see how good he was.

So I hit out and cleaned up, and caught it alive! Immediately, two members of the team rushed up, and while he was using the canopy to keep out the rain and his back to us, he began to release water, and this moment struck him in the neck, and the guy immediately fell softly!

Two members of the team carried him back to a small separate storeroom beside me, and after a short time, they asked him about Blackbeard's whereabouts.

He was cooperative, and we didn't worry about him snitching at all. Of course, he also talked about today's defense personnel arrangement, so the two team members didn't make him feel any pain at all.

There are two open and dark sentinels in front of them, and they are horns on each other, and if one of them is attacked alone, the other will surely be discovered. Therefore, it is necessary to unplug both places at the same time in order to solve the problem without flaws.

With clues, it didn't take us long to find the sentry posts, and it was cleverly done. Two of them were hidden in the attic at both ends, and the other two were at the doorman.

This must be a one-hit kill! After thinking about it, I arranged a plan of action - the two below took a close-range parry, while the two in the attic took a long-range snipe!

A few black shadows dispersed, and I, with the other two, quietly stretched out the barrel of the black hole.

I looked at the sky out of the corner of my eye, and I was waiting for an opportunity. I waited silently, and a few people next to me also waited quietly with me, like a withered branch, like a tile without the slightest life.

Suddenly, a terrible lightning bolt streaked through the air, and I knew that the time had come, and I whispered an order: "Ready! Put! ”

Four silenced weapons fired projectiles at the same time, and the two people in the attic immediately fell to the ground on their backs! The difference between before and after is less than half a second!

The two people below felt everything, but they were covered by the few people who rushed forward, and the short knife went in and out of the ribs, and they were immediately unconscious.

By eliminating the outer guards, our main obstacle was removed, and we began to advance inward. Occasionally, we encountered a defended pirate, and after about ten minutes, we reached the innermost attic unharmed.

There is still light on the second floor of the attic, and it seems that Blackbeard has not slept yet. My men are already around it, just waiting to rush in and grab Blackbeard himself!

In general, the process today is simpler than I thought, probably due to grievances at sea, and most people take the way of settling them at sea. There aren't many people like me who directly raid their homes.

"Catch it alive!" I whispered. The first group immediately rushed forward and quietly prepared to open the door. However, the moment the wooden door was opened, a violent gunfire suddenly rang out inside!

"Bang! Bang! "Two lead projectiles flew out, and one of my team members was immediately shot and fell to the ground!

This was like a signal, and the secret infiltration immediately turned into a strong attack!

The team members burst in, and Blackbeard, who was wearing pajamas, threw down the two short guns in his hand and pulled out the scimitar at his waist!

"If you think you're going to make me surrender, you're wrong!" Blackbeard roared angrily, and then rushed forward with a knife!

I suddenly felt a strange feeling in my heart. Pirates have always been the masters who bully the weak and fear the hard, why should he come up like this and fight hard? What does he want to protect?

With this in mind, I pulled out a mechanical crossbow from behind my waist, mounted an arrow, and shot an arrow into his thigh while he was still confronting his teammates!

"Ahh Blackbeard let out a loud scream, but he actually broke the shaft of the arrow with a very hard sword! I wondered even more, and another arrow went straight to his right arm!

When there was a bang, the scimitar fell to the ground, and Blackbeard couldn't bear it anymore, and he already had the intention of retreating!

Several team members rushed forward, firmly controlled Blackbeard, and gave him a few more hard blows!

I walked forward slowly, looked at Blackbeard, who looked like a trapped beast, and said lightly, "Do you know why I'm looking for you?" The famous Blackbeard Lord. ”

Blackbeard spat out two mouthfuls of blood, and still said stiffly: "You came to me like this, just to ask for wealth or revenge." And so it must be. ”

As he spoke, he struggled hard under the suppression of several team members, and after no result, he spat blood foaming again before continuing: "I can give you all my money, and my life can also be given to you, there is no problem, just ask you not to kill innocents indiscriminately!"

I felt ridiculous in my heart, so I sneered, "What did I hear? Don't kill innocents? Is this the tone of a famous pirate leader? ”

Blackbeard said calmly: "Now that I am in your hands, I only follow your wishes. But what I say is not half false, if you don't want to be as bloody as I am! ”

When he said this, his eyes were full of helplessness and sincerity.

I took a few steps forward, squatted down, looked directly at Blackbeard, and asked softly, "I don't ask for money, and I have no interest in your life, I just want to ask you about the whereabouts of a person."

Blackbeard's eyes flashed with a strange glint, and my doubts intensified, but I still asked, "A woman from Venice named Sonia!" Two years ago, I haven't heard from you since I met you, can you tell me where she is? ”

When Blackbeard heard this, his eyes flickered a few times before he proudly replied, "She won't go with you!"

I punched Blackbeard in the face with anger, gritted my teeth and said angrily, "Don't decide the future for others!" You damn pirate! Who do you think you are? God? ”

Blackbeard immediately spat out another mouthful of blood, and I was about to ask again, when suddenly a woman's voice came from behind me: "This is my own decision!" Don't hit him! ”

I turned my head abruptly and saw a dark-haired woman standing there in her pajamas. Just listen to her continue: "I'm the one you're looking for!" Don't hit him anymore, okay? She's my husband! ”

Everyone including me was petrified in an instant! And what shocked me the most was the baby that Sonia was holding in her arms and waiting to be fed in swaddling clothes!
