Chapter 53: Running Away?!

"Everyone, your Excellency Colonel Alfonso, the commander of the Spanish Luzon ship, has arrived!" A Spanish soldier shouted loudly in French, the lingua franca of the West, and immediately drew the pirates' attention to the hatch.

"Gentlemen, please be quiet, now I have received the latest news, our reconnaissance ship has determined the exact location of the Oriental pirates who plundered our Spanish royal treasure ship......" Alfonso took the handkerchief that covered his mouth and nose, pointed to the huge chart hanging on the bulkhead, and announced the latest information to the pirate leaders present.

"Isn't this too close to Qingguo? It will not take more than a day and a half to reach the shores of Qing from this island? A pirate leader asked his question in stammering French.

The questioner, with his black hair, black eyes and yellow skin, stood out in the middle of a crowd of white people, and his stammering French drew countless snickering and ridicule.

"Isn't this guy that pigtail Liu? There is still a day and a half left before the shores of the Qing Kingdom, and you have already scared your guts? A pirate leader wearing an eyepatch and a horrible scar on his face laughed loudly.

"What did you say?!" The Chinese pirate, known to the one-eyed pirate as Pigtail Liu, narrowed his eyes dangerously, and his hand was already pressed against the weapon at his waist. His bare head with a long braid on the back of his head is indeed easy to attract the ridicule of Western pirates.

"What do I say? Hahaha, everyone told him what I said......" Loud laughter and frolic echoed the cabin again.

"Enough! Captain Morley, Captain Liu, please pay attention to your demeanor, we are now on the same front, now is not the time for internal commotion, Captain Liu, I can understand your concern, but could it be that with a fleet as large as ours, which includes almost all the Western maritime elites, we can deal with a small island with an area of less than three miles long and wide, and two or three thousand pirates from the East. Are you so unconfident? ”

"Of course, it's not without confidence, Colonel Alfonso, but it's too close to the Qing coastline, and I'm worried about the actions of the Qing sailors or those Chinese pirates." This Captain Liu is tall and burly, and his appearance is also dignified, but his eyes are slit, revealing a cunning and cruel light. He is the traitor Liu Qiqiao who Shi Xianggu can't wait to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.

"You're too worried, a small island, will it take two or three days for our huge fleet to take it? Even if there are Qing sailors and pirates to help, do you think we will lose? A pirate sitting on a chair with his wig opened his mouth, his voice was low and hoarse, but as soon as he spoke, it made the surroundings much quieter, this is Pulsatilla Owen's first mate James, nicknamed "Wig" It is said that his biggest habit is to collect all kinds of wig sets, and the way he collects them is quite simple, he always uses a big axe to directly cut off the opponent's head, and then remove the wig from the blood stain.

His notoriety was even higher than that of his immediate boss, Pulsatilla Owen, at least Pulsatilla Owen didn't have his chilling perverted hobby.

"Of course not, I just think it's best to think about the best and the worst first." Liu Qiqiao shrugged his shoulders very westernally and sat down. Although he was a little worried, he felt that he seemed to be a little too suspicious. He has a deep understanding of the combat power of these Xiyi pirates, and they are definitely not inferior to his compatriots and peers.

If this pirate group, which almost gathers the South Seas to the Indian Ocean, can't even capture a small Chinese pirate lair, needless to say, no one else will believe their own eyes.

Colonel Alfonso cleared his throat, "Gentlemen, our fleet, together is more than 12,000 elite soldiers, and the artillery alone is close to five hundred, which is a huge number, our artillery alone is enough to raze a town, and our goal is nothing more than a pirate's lair, do you think he can be stronger than a castle?" More difficult to conquer than a fortress? Think about it, gentlemen...... Which side will the scales of victory tend? ”

"Of course we are!"

"We!"

"We !!" Some of the pirates paused, some pounded on the tabletop, some slapped the bulkheads, and roared loudly to the rhythm, as if their enemies had been trampled underfoot, and were so excited that they were like a group of thugs who had just escaped from prison, and walked to the town hungry and tired in animal skins, and saw a money house with its doors open and carrying gold, silver and jewels.

"Sure enough, it's just a bunch of brainless fools, you get excited, scatter all your blood on the muzzles of the Qing pirates......" Alfonso had an uplifting smile on his face, but his heart was full of contempt and contempt for the pirates in front of him.

Alfonso is not worried about the combat effectiveness of these pirates now, but for his opponent, the Eastern pirates who plundered the Spanish royal family, if the other party is too weak, it will not achieve Colonel Alfonso's goal of weakening these Western pirates and cleaning up the colonial environment in the South Seas.

"May God bless those heretics for a day, at least half a day, and if I can consume a third of the scum here, I am willing to donate a thousand gold coins to God in the church of St. Paul's when I return to Spain." Colonel Alfonso prayed very reverently......

He didn't know that the heretics in his heart were thinking about how to swallow these Western pirates he called scum, and maybe when he heard the news, he would only think of it as a joke about an ant trying to throw down an elephant with a footrest.

"Colonel, our reconnaissance ships have discovered the exact location of the Qing pirates' lair." A Spanish officer, in high spirits, rushed into the cabin and reported loudly. All the voices fell silent for a moment.

"Found out?" Alfonso's voice couldn't help but be a little out of tune, he didn't expect to find the other party's lair so quickly.

"Yes, for our reconnaissance ships discovered the island while cruising in the general directions provided by the maritime merchants, but the other side seemed to be showing signs of escape, and their clippers fiercely attacked our reconnaissance ships, covering their ships as they headed north. We have already lost two reconnaissance ships. ”

Syllable! With a loud bang, a stern pirate leader slammed his glass on the table: "What are you waiting for, Mr. Colonel, it's time for us to appear." ”

Looking at the surging tide of pirates, Alfonso cursed those Eastern pirates in his heart, he was so cowardly, it seemed that he really thought too highly of his opponent.

"We must stop those pirates from the East from escaping to the north." Colonel Alfonso announced loudly. "Gentlemen, captains, now return to your posts and tell everyone that there is nothing to fear from the cowardly enemy!"

--------------------

"Colonel, most of the pirate captains have already left the ship, but several powerful pirate leaders such as Liu Qiqiao and Wig James have not left, saying that in order to allow you to better command the overall situation, Colonel, they are willing to serve as your liaison officer temporarily." With a look of mockery on his face, a Spanish officer reported to Colonel Alfonso, who was sitting in a specially brought chair on the deck, sipping a sip of black tea.

"My liaison officer? Hahaha, there are really enough eyes, forget it, just let them stay, how can I not know what these people are planning in their hearts, they must be calculating now, even if other pirates can really capture this island, they can score a bounty without any loss. Even if those pirates fail to attack, they will definitely be able to deplete the opponent's strength, and they will come out again when the time comes......" Alfonso's eyes swept down the pirate leaders who were standing on the side of the ship and chatting with each other, his eyes full of contempt and contempt.

"These allies of ours are truly despicable and shameless pirates, and their actions alone prove that they can never be a single gang, worthy of being a rabble, and now, I have to worry about their fate first, and perhaps a defeat is the best footnote to my evaluation of them."

Colonel Alfonso never imagined that he was such a crow's mouth, and his mockery quickly became a reality.
