Chapter 391: Target: Slave Fleet
Being able to get a bottle of "Shadow Dragon's Blood" in the treasure trove of ancient wizards was of course a great surprise for Aven.
this era.
In the Old World, where human civilization is most developed, not to mention the dragons that belong to mythical creatures, even some of the wurm species with dragon blood have long since disappeared.
Although the New World is more active because of the more active relationship of the magic element, there are still faint traces of the activities of the wurm species, such as the juvenile sea dragon that Anita once killed.
But no matter what kind of breed is truly pure, it is at least a fourth-order dragon when it reaches adulthood, and there has never been a witness since the colonists arrived here.
If you want to find their traces, you may really need to go to the broken star sea where there are large mysterious realms, and even the depths of the unknown world.
Most of the shadow dragons living in the film world, although their combat power ranks last among the various dragons, they are just normal fourth-order creatures when they become adults.
But no matter how weak it is, it is still a real dragon after all, and it is an existence that the pinnacle powerhouses of human beings are unwilling to face alone!
With this bottle of "Shadow Dragon's Blood", the transformation of Kaka's bloodline can definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and the success rate will be greatly improved.
According to the established bloodline template, even if you can't become a real dragon in the end, you won't be alienated into a chaotic monster.
Evan smiled like a kind old father:
"Click, blessed are you kid!"
"Click?"
Screaming suspiciously, the shadow lizard, which was less than a year old, inexplicably felt a chill on the back of its neck.
call
The instinctive sense of crisis caused its body to collapse in an instant, hiding in Aiwen's shadow, and refusing to come out again.
Evan was about to tease it again.
Suddenly, the voice of the herald bass rang in his ears:
"Report to the commander, the target enters the predetermined area, and it is confirmed that it is the slave convoy of the Sylius Santa Babia Company!
Based on the speed of both sides, there will be a battle in about five hours!"
Evan and Milan's faces instantly straightened.
Immediately he came into view of the seabirds, and saw a medium-sized fleet of ten sailing ships coming from the southeast on the far sea.
It is the goal of all the members of his dragoon pirate regiment on this trip!
"Summoning the captains of all warships to the Daystar for a pre-war meeting. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"
The next moment.
On the other three fifth-class ships in the privateer fleet, the seagulls who served as the contact terminal opened their mouths one after another, conveying the orders of the regimental commander "White Knight" to the captains of each battleship.
Obviously, this kind of biological communication network, Ai Wen has been applied to his privateer fleet in advance, and the accuracy, distance, and reliability are far more efficient than the backward banner!
The three captains immediately moved at the order.
They all braved the wind and rain to rush to the flagship of the fleet "Daystar" at the first time.
Although this was a collective sortie of the fleet, it was clear that none of the three captains dared to neglect the orders of the regimental commander.
"Captain!"
"Sit down. ”
The three captains sat down in the captain's room one by one.
They are William, the captain of the "Iron Bone", a corsair converted from a merchant ship, with a total length of 40 meters and 21 shipboard guns;
a fast cruiser converted from a captured Sylius V-class, the acting captain of the 39-meter-long Gladiator with 32 guns, Badwin;
and Alec, the acting captain of the fast cruiser "Wrestler", which is exactly the same as the specifications of the "Gladiator". Fastest update Desktop::/
That's right, Aven, who was watching the battle at the time, not only stopped the pirate members who were about to rush up in time, but also directly accepted this old pirate!
Because.
After a little examination of Alec, combined with his own account of what happened to him on the isolated island, Evan was already sure.
The part of the wizard's body tissue that he had transplanted by killing the great pirate Bassam in the first place finally broke free from the shackles and turned into some kind of parasite with independent thoughts.
Then he entered Alec's body by chance and helped him repair Shen Ke in his body.
And it also gave this guy who had just been betrayed by the crew a blessing in disguise and received official wizard-level witchcraft support.
This includes, but is not limited to: Witchcraft Shield, Bewitchment, Control Sands, Spiritual Vision, and more.
The combination of the two produces the effect that one plus one is greater than the sum of its parts, and coupled with Alec's rich experience as a pirate captain, he is a rare general!
Besides, since it was already a privateer fleet, there weren't so many spiritual cleanliness, so Evan directly accepted him.
It's just that in view of the fact that he once participated in the "Port Moby Dick Massacre", he has a history of tulip national blood on his hands.
Aven made a strict unilateral witchcraft pact with him.
Alec, who is stronger than people, obviously has no other choice but to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and completely sell himself to Aven, and his rights are not much better than the slave contract.
But Evan then thought about it and told him about the relationship between the two.
Alec never imagined that he would join this nascent pirate group with the resounding name of "White Knight" at first, and he wanted to use the power of stitching the heterogeneous Sparrow to show his strength.
At the same time as completely selling himself at this time, there was a deeper connection between himself, the White Knight, and Sparrow.
This "White Knight" not only killed the great pirate Bassem in disguise and gave Sparrow freedom, but also bombarded and killed the entire crew of the "Demon Monkey" that betrayed him.
It also gave himself and Sparrow a chance to meet and give him a chance to regain his life. With all this, Alec really didn't know how to feel in the face of this regiment leader.
Although the contract entered into was extremely harsh.
But whether from the point of view of Sparrow, who lived on his left hand, or from his own point of view, the head of the regiment was an irrefutable benefactor, and there was no resistance to working under him.
Besides, with the organization and strong backers, it shouldn't be like the original, almost dying worthless on some deserted island, right?
Although Alec is over fifty years old, he has been adrift on the sea for half his life, and he has never thought about how he will die in a hospital bed in the future.
Joining the powerful White Knight should be indispensable in the future.
This kind of ending can be regarded as a happy ending, probably.
By this time, the military commanders of the privateer fleet, including Gary, had all arrived.
In addition to William, who joined the fleet as a whole with his "Iron Bone", he still retained the original crew.
Including Aven's own "Daystar" and two other fifth-class ships have undergone personnel reorganization.
Twenty-four naval elites from various key positions on the "Storm Horn" served as pirate cadres on three ships, plus three extraordinary captains and the necessary seagull messengers for each ship.
While most of the new recruits have been on board for less than a month, and Evan doesn't know them well enough, he already has absolute control over the fleet with this network!
Based on this, it is not difficult to build an elite privateer fleet that can fight, and the first battle will start today.
Glancing at all the military commanders present, Ai Wen spoke:
"Navigator, let me tell you more about our opponent this time. ”
He knew very well that his name as a great pirate "White Knight" was time-limited.
Even if it is not as fast as the modern society with very advanced information, the popularity will gradually fade in half a year at most, and the high-quality talking point will gradually become a symbol in people's memory.
So strike while the iron is hot, and he will personally lead the team to do a few more big votes!
After laying the foundation of the Dragoon Pirate Regiment in a few tough battles and getting its operation on the right track, there is no need for Evan to personally intervene in the small raiding activities.
Although compared to this posture of showing that the chariots and horses are against the Cyrius, Evan is more inclined to make a fortune in silence.
This is certainly a better option if it is purely for the sake of plundering wealth, but from the strategic point of view of the country's "blood loss plan".
Even if he is covered in iron, how many nails can he make?
Relying on himself and these subordinates of the dragoons to privateer, not to mention 996, even if all 007 are full, it is impossible to make the Cylius hurt their bones.
So, Aven's plan was simple.
Spiritually, it became a banner in the anti-Cyrius coalition, and led the trend materially with the huge wealth obtained by plundering again and again.
With his own actions, he constantly inspired more "aspiring young people" to devote themselves to the cause of plundering Cyrius.
Let Sylius fall into the vast sea of the people's war.
Moreover, Evan himself was not prepared to be completely stumped by privateering activities, more power and a wider world were his goals!
The first action goal of great fanfare, of course, cannot be a small role.
Milan stood up and handed over the intelligence documents he had gathered in advance.
"Our target this time is the largest private company of Hilius in the New World, Santa Babia"
The Santa Babia Company is openly composed of five large chambers of commerce in the country of Cyrius, but secretly it is backed by the royal family of Syrius, and in many cases King Philip II himself is the actual controller of the company.
According to secret sources, the royal family owns at least 40% of the shares, and it is also an important source of income for the royal family in addition to the country's revenue.
The company mainly engaged in the slave, precious metals, tobacco, sugar trade, piracy, and colonial business. The main range of activities includes the western part of the Southern Continent, the entire New World, and the Golden Sea.
The target of this privateer fleet was a group of slave ships from the southern continent belonging to the Santa Babia Company.
They set out from the slave coast, centered on Benin, the birthplace of voodoo in the southern continent, and crossed the Black Sea along the Northern Ring Current with the strength of their fleet to the Golden Sea Islands.
That is, in the triangular trade, the Old World "guns, cloth", the Southern Continent, the Anuma people, and the New World "gold, silver, tobacco, dyes".
Naturally, there is a reason for Ai Wen to choose this target.
In this world, although money is not everything, it can really solve most problems.
As long as there is a steady flow of gold and silver into the kingdom of Sylius, no matter how many problems there are within the country, they can be solved one by one.
From now on, while launching the "blood loss plan", it is also necessary to cut off the supply of silver from the source.
Minerals, mercury, and labor are the key to limiting silver production capacity!
On the premise that the countries cannot grab the mineral source, it is completely possible to make a fuss about the latter two, and the profit of the slave trade is now 600%!
