A naval battle was imminent, and the outcome of the battle was soon revealed.

The Dutch ships were only trading ships, and although they had a certain amount of self-defense strength, they still did not show enough strength in front of the pirate team that specialized in this trade.

In fact, since the beginning of the war, Captain Denzel and their fate have been predictable, just because Denzel is unwilling to lose a large amount of wealth in his heart, and vainly tries to make a death struggle.

In the final battlefield, there were no imaginary corpses all over the field, except for more than ten or twenty corpses left at the beginning of the battle, which stained the deck red, but more Western sailors and black slave sailors who cowered and obediently hid in a corner.

And then use wealth, freedom and other interests to inspire people, but when facing the threat of death, these various external interests are far from the desire to survive from human beings.

"I am Denzel, captain of the Dutch East India Company's Maria. Silang, I ask to speak to your leader! ”

Captain Denzel, who was disgraced and even a little desperate, was still making his last effort, even if he had become a prisoner of this group of pirates of unknown origin.

"Hahaha!"

The pirates who were guarding him didn't know if they could hear Denzel's broken Chinese, but they just laughed at each other against the smell of Buddha, but they didn't pay any attention to him.

"I am the Lord of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and I demand the treatment of nobles, and I am willing to pay a ransom in exchange for the freedom of the widows!!"

The more this happened, the more frightened Captain Denzel became, for his desire to keep the ship's possessions had evaporated, and he hoped nothing more than a good home under the watchful eyes of this group of scheming, ill-eyed pirates.

"Hehe, I didn't expect this guy to be a nobleman? Shouldn't we have someone send a letter to his family and make another profit? ”

Finally, this group of pirates, who pretended to be deaf and dumb, still spoke in front of Captain Denzel, revealing their origin - a group of pirates from the Han people of China.

"I can pay the ransom by sending someone to the Tulip Hotel in the port of Batavia and finding a ......"

"Shut up, dead foreign devil, be careful that Lao Tzu slaughtered you!"

The sudden burst of murder and the sound of the sword unsheathed finally calmed the sea, and Captain Denzel finally shut his mouth in fear in front of the sharp sword.

Soon, the pirate gang that had cleaned up the battlefield detached a part of their men to drive Captain Dandel's "Maria", followed by the two pirate ships, and slowly disappeared into the sea level.

"Bastard, damn it!"

In the Governor's Palace of Port Batavia, the Dutch Governor Dandell is venting his boundless anger at Captain Lincoln of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Not far from Lincoln's side, Zheng Zhilong, the leader of the Wyvern Gang, was bowing his head, feeling the anger of the Dutch Governor of Claw.

"This is the third missing sea ship, starting with the 'Maria', in a month, our East India Company has lost three cargo ships, as well as more than a million pounds worth of cargo, but no one knows where these missing ships have gone!!"

"Can you tell me what the hell is going on??"

"Your Excellency the Governor, I have sent my fleet of Dutch sailors to intensify patrolling the surrounding waters for our ships."

Colonel Lincoln solemnly informed the Governor of their sailors' arrangements, but that was all.

"And what about you, Gang Leader Zheng?"

Two months ago, he called Zheng Zhilong in front of him and asked him to restrain their gang and not allow them to roam around, but now that something has happened, he has found Zheng Zhilong again and asked him to give help and tips.

"I'm sorry Your Excellency, but my gang has not found any signs of other pirates in the vicinity except for fishing, hunting, and trading."

Zheng Zhilong's face was respectful, but in the past two months, he had been restraining his subordinates, and it seemed that he was really changing the way their gang made profits and survived according to the requirements of the previous Governor of Dandel.

"Really?"

Dandel may not believe it, the biggest object of suspicion in his heart is the Wyvern Gang, with its strength and foundation in the Indonesian archipelago to make the three Western sea ships disappear without a trace.

But he also knew that the spies of their East India Company and the native indigenous kingdom had monitored the Wyvern up and down, at least their members and ships on the surface, and the movements of these days were clear and unusual.

"I don't dare to hide anything!"

Zheng Zhilong's face tightened, and he replied in a loud voice.

"I don't care what method you use, I must find me three East India Company ships and the sailors on board!"

"Can you use any means?"

Cheng Zhilong asked His Excellency the Governor meaningfully about the standards of their actions.

“……”

Dandel's heart tightened at this time, and then replied: "No, first of all, I will mainly inspect the surrounding seas and ask about the passing sea ships and local fishing boat ports, I don't believe in such a big thing, and there will be no clues left." ”

"Yes!"

Zheng Zhilong regretted that for their Flying Dragon Gang, searching for traces has never been what they are good at, but it is their strength to say that interrogation and interrogation.

At this point, 27 warships of the Dutch Kingdom Navy Fleet and more than 40 warships of the Wyvern Gang were dispatched one after another, patrolling all corners of the waters of the Indonesian archipelago, looking for any clues to the three missing sea ships.

The big move of the Dutch East India Company, as well as the general action of the Sulu Kingdom and the Wyvern Gang that were dependent on his forces, suddenly made the rest of the Western forces of the Dutch Kingdom panic, worried that this sea area, which had just had a stable order, would once again return to the original chaotic situation.

The search continued, but unfortunately, not only did not find the slightest clue about the missing vessel, but in the half month of searching for the missing vessel, two more incidents of missing vessels occurred in succession.

Without exception, the ownership of these two ships was all owned by the Dutch East India Company, as if this black hand without a trace was only targeting the ships of the East India Company, and had no effect on other Western ships.

The disappearance of the five sea ships, as well as the various big moves under the command of the governor of the Dutch Jawa colony, finally let the surrounding people pay attention to them and other Western forces, as well as the forces of the native kingdom, to know.

These forces, while secretly gloating, also stepped up their care for their own ships, so that the same thing would happen to the Dutch merchants.

In the skies over Indonesian waters, there is a storm to come.
