Chapter 134: Eighteen Pirate Groups

The pirate city of the Black Devil Island was built 20 years ago, it was the last leader of the Black Devil Thieves who began to build, and after Raktavira killed the old leader and won the position of leader, the pirate city was expanded, and it developed into an important place for pirate trading nearby, many pirates will take the looted goods here to exchange for money, and the Black Devil Pirate Group also trades the goods they have robbed here, and there are also many Nanyang merchants gathered here, come here to buy cheap goods, these merchants have a very good relationship with the Black Devil Pirate Group, Therefore, they can trade freely and travel to and from the South China Seas, and the Black Devil Pirate Group collects trading commissions from both sides and reaps fishing profits, and now the benefits of the Black Devil Pirate Group collecting trading commissions are far greater than the benefits obtained from robbery, and have become the largest source of income for the Black Devil Pirate Group.

"Seven families have already arrived, and it is expected that they will all be able to gather on Black Magic Island within three days at the latest, and then the leader will arrange for everyone to discuss the attack on Kalimantan Island." Vanucia said.

"I heard that those Chinese people on the island now have very powerful weapons, otherwise those small gangs would not have been wiped out without resistance, and I heard from the people who ran out that these Chinese are all using ironclad ships, and there are several." Bika said.

"The leader of these situations already knows about these situations and has his own arrangements, and these things should be said at the meeting." Vanusia was reluctant to talk too much.

The carriage entered the pirate city after a short time, and the name of the pirate city was 'Bindan City', but because the pirate city was used to being called by everyone, most people only knew the pirate city, not 'Bindan City'. The appearance of the pirate city is somewhat similar to the castle-like buildings of Europe, with tall stone walls on the outside and bazaars and residential areas on the inside, and most of the buildings in the city are wooden buildings, and the streets are crowded on both sides because of the merchants setting up their stalls, so if someone approaches it, they will think that this is a medieval castle in Europe.

The city can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and half of the combat troops of the Black Devil Thieves are stationed in the city, responsible for the order of the pirate city and the protection of the property of the pirate group. The other half lived in a garrison 10 miles west of the pirate city, where there was a small bay from which the pirates could sail directly to rob passing ships, and there were also divisions of troops stationed in it, and there was a reason to take care of each other.

The carriage drove through the streets of the market and came to a stop at the gate of a compound in the residential area, and the people got out of the carriage one after another, "Chief Bika, rest here for a few days, there are servants to take care of your food, and when the chief gathers a meeting, I will send someone to inform you." The bald Bika nodded in reply.

Vanusia didn't care, nodded in response, and then got into the carriage and left.

"Chief, the second leader of this black thief is not simple." Said one of Picka's men.

"He's a poisonous snake, and he's no less ruthless than the pervert of Raktawila, so when we act, we have to take this guy into account." Bika said gloomily, at this time, Bika's table xiàn and the big grinning table xiàn just now are like two people.

"Do we need to change our plans?" The subordinate asked.

"No, the plan depends on the strength of the Chinese leader, if he can eliminate or severely damage the black devil thief, we will take the opportunity to occupy the pirate city, if the Chinese are wiped out, we can directly collect the Chinese property, but it is said that these Chinese have also built a city deep in the jungle, where there should be a lot of supplies and wealth waiting for us." Bika said.

"Chief, do we need to increase our manpower?" Another subordinate asked.

"We have prepared 7,000 men, and when I am ready to attack Kalimantan, I will bring 4,000 men and all 5 sailing light cruisers, and the remaining 3,000 men will wait on the reef cliff in a sea ship, which is only two hours away from the Black Devil Island, as long as we rush back, we will attack the Black Devil Island together, kill the Black Devil Pirate Regiment personnel left behind on the Black Devil Island, and then this Bindan Island and this pirate city will be ours." Bika said.

"Then we can only have a thousand guards left on our own island, will it be a little dangerous," it seems that this subordinate is also afraid that someone will call fire and rob his lair.

"In this South Sea area, in addition to the black devil thief, which pirate gang dares to challenge my bald head Bika, it doesn't matter, as long as the black devil thief is eliminated, I am the real king of pirates in the South Seas." Bika grinned and laughed out loud.

Three days later, the last group of pirate gangs arrived on the Black Magic Island, all eighteen pirate gangs gathered, the merchants of the pirate city, seeing so many pirate gang leaders in the South Seas have come to the pirate city, these guys with a keen sense of smell smell the smell of tension in the air, it seems that there will be a great change in the South Seas.

In the castle in the center of the pirate city, in one of the few stone buildings in the pirate city, the leaders of eighteen pirate gangs gathered in the castle hall, they were divided into eighteen groups, and their subordinates were seated everywhere, and the first place was Laktawila, a man known as the devil.

Raktawila is in his forties this year, which is the most youthful stage of a man's life, with dark skin and strong physique, especially a pair of triangular eyes shining like poisonous snakes, Raktawila said in a hoarse voice: "The Chinese in Kalimantan have only been here for more than a year, but they are developing very fast, these Chinese have a few ironclad ships, they keep fighting pirates in the South Seas, although they only eliminate those small pirate groups, which has nothing to do with us, but these Chinese once they become bigger, It will be a threat to our people, and our spies report that they also have an army, numbering about 10,000 people, and we can't continue to let these Chinese develop, because when they are strong, they will attack us. ”

"Leader of Laktawila, these Chinese have beaten those small pirate gangs, and it does not affect our business, but makes more cargo ships, and there is nothing wrong with it." The leader of a pirate gang said.

"But if we don't exterminate these Chinese in advance, and when they grow up, it won't be something that any of us can contend with, and we should be forced by others to be cornered before resisting." Raktavira stared at the brainless creature with triangular eyes, and the leader of the pirate group who asked the question only felt a chill in his body, shivered twice, and then did not dare to speak again.

Laktavira continued, "Those Chinese have built a city on the island of Jia, and they have built the port of Marchen very well, which requires a lot of investment, which shows that those Chinese are very rich, they have their own ocean-going fleet, and they often travel to and from the countries where the Westerners are, and the value of those huge ironclad transports is astronomical, not to mention that there is a city and a dock there, and these will become our trophies." ”

These few words of Raktavira made the leaders of many pirate gangs start to get excited, these guys are only interested in money, and when they hear that there are so many benefits, their eyes naturally light up.

"And what about the combat power of these Chinese?" There are still people with a cool head who ask about the strength of the opponent.

"The people we came back said that they should have 5 large ships and 8 small boats, although they are all ironclad ships, but there are very few guns on them, so they should not be powerful." The second leader, Vanusia, replied.

"If they are all new ironclad giants like Westerners, the combat power is also very powerful, we use wooden sailing cruisers, old-fashioned smoothbore guns, there is naturally no problem to deal with merchant ships, but it is very difficult to fight with new ironclad giants, and our wooden ships can not withstand the bombardment of a few shells." Bika voiced her concerns.

"Bika, how many ships do you have, how many cannons." Raktavira asked.

"I have five sailing light cruisers, each with more than 32 guns, and as few as 16 guns, all 24-pounder or 32-pounder guns." When Bika spoke, he unnaturally showed a hint of pride, because there were only a handful of pirate gangs in the South Seas with such combat power.

"Each family has also reported the ships that they can participate in the battle." Raktavira said, glancing at everyone who was doing it with her triangular eyes.

"I have three ships, all 24-pound wooden sailing ships."

"I can dispatch two ships."

“”

More than a dozen pirate gang leaders have reported the number of their warships and firepower, and finally it has been counted, and it has reached a terrifying 54 warships, "Although our warships are old-fashioned cruisers, they are all eliminated warships purchased from Westerners, but their firepower is still very powerful, can a few warships beat an opponent's ironclad ship can not have a chance of winning, you know, we are pirates, not turtles in the water, the opponent is strong means that the opponent is richer, if it is a wooden boat fishing on the seaside, will you rob it." ”

Saying this, Raktavira smiled slightly and continued: "And we also have our own ironclad ship. ”

"Where did the ironclad come from?" The pirate leaders were all startled and asked in a chaotic voice.

Vanustia looked at Laktavila, saw that the other party nodded slightly, and said directly, "Our black thieves have purchased an ironclad ship from the Dutch, this ship is 75 meters long, with a displacement of 4,870 tons, steam engine power, equipped with 4 12-inch breech guns, 4 20-pounder guns, 2 14-inch torpedo launchers, and a crew of 260 people. ”

For a while, the leaders of the pirate gangs were shocked, and they didn't know how to react, the strength of the original Black Magic Island was already the top of the pirate gangs, and now they have purchased ironclad ships, I don't know if the Black Magic Island is going to do something to the pirate gangs next, and the leaders have their own thoughts.

These people are also afraid that the Black Devil Island family will be dominant, and in the end, they can only be gradually swallowed by the Black Devil Island.

"Leaders, now the enemy is in front of you, and when they continue to be strong, it will be us who will suffer, so we must unite to eliminate these Chinese, let's discuss the number of troops and the situation of the warships in each family, which is related to the distribution of the spoils in the future, whoever produces more people and more warships will naturally take more." Raktawira interrupted the musings of the chiefs in a hoarse voice. R1152
