Royal Harbour.

Admiral Firi and several staff officers gathered together, looking at an ancient nautical chart, all with a hint of doubt on their faces: "Sun crown? ”

"Yes...... According to our intelligence sources, the Pirate King's next goal is to find the legendary Sunfall and obtain the Sun King's crown! ”

Lieutenant General Norton held a thin black stick and pointed to the crown marker in the middle of the map.

"This ...... It's just ...... Absurd! ”

Admiral Firi's fingers trembled slightly: "Lieutenant General Norton, please explain, otherwise I will doubt whether you are worthy of your current position!" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"

Lieutenant General Norton bowed humbly: "First of all...... Let's be clear, this Sun King, who has conquered one ancient dynasty after another, is not a legend, and I have found reliable evidence that this king who once dominated a continent does exist...... And, he also left his sun crown ......"

"You...... Believe that the legend is true: the Sun King was born from the sun, his crown has the power to summon an endless number of armies, and these soldiers are tireless and undaunted by death, conquering kingdom after kingdom and defeating all kinds of enemies...... In the end, the Sun King was disheartened because he had no heirs, and chose a desert island on the sea as a place to bury his bones...... In the mausoleum, he left his crown, and whoever has the crown of the sun will have the power to conquer the world......"

An aide retold the mythical legend of history.

"Sea monsters, elves, dwarves, and so many legendary ships...... Then, another sun crown is not something too much to bear! ”

Lieutenant General Norton said with a glance: "Moreover, I have found reliable evidence that the glorious Sun Dynasty in history really existed...... Of course, from a scientific point of view, this is none of our business, but the pirates believe it, and believe that from above the crown of the sun, they can gain strength against us. ”

"What do you mean......"

Admiral Firi's eyes lit up.

"Whether this news is true or not, we should all be dispatched, but the first target is definitely not the Sun Crown, but the group of pirates...... In addition, in view of the uncertainty of this source of information, I feel that it is necessary to increase the planning and preparation of pirates to lure the enemy......"

Lieutenant General Norton had apparently thought it through for a long time, and it was worth talking about.

"Hmm...... Truly...... We are now superior to pirates, and as long as we are prepared, we don't have much to worry about...... Giving that pirate king some time to recuperate would be bad for us! ”

Admiral Firi made a decision directly.

"In addition...... We have some energetic privateer captains under our command, and they're a good force. ”

Lieutenant General Norton added meaningfully, instantly sending a smile to everyone's heartfelt smile.

Although those privateer captains can also be regarded as Innsman's maritime power, they still can't be on the table in the eyes of these genuine navies.

And, for pirates, it's also a visceral disgust.

This operation, since they know that it may be a trap, the cannon fodder who charges into battle, they must do it.

……

On the other side, the Pirate Kings.

Fang Yuan opened a nautical chart, looked at the crown mark on it, and couldn't help but chuckle.

The savings of the Pirate King City and several other pirate governors were really not a small amount, and some gold and silver treasures were counted, but what made him most excited was a few nautical charts marked with secret treasures.

It is naturally not trivial for him to be able to catch his eye and not be discovered by the pirate governor.

Either the distance is long, it is impossible to decipher, or the route is too dangerous.

This nautical chart of the crown of the sun was presented by Wang Zhi, the pirate governor of the East.

Although this secret treasure belonged to the West, it was also very embarrassing to fall into the hands of him, the pirate governor of the East, because of the problem of location, he was reluctant to trade with other pirate governors, nor could he come to hunt for treasure with great fanfare, so he has been idle there.

This dedication to Fang Yuan also means giving up a piece of chicken ribs.

Nautical charts or something, if you don't follow the map, you will definitely be able to get the treasure.

The hidden words, the hidden dangers, the changes in the ancient and modern routes, the migration of the beasts, etc., must all be taken into account.

After Fang Yuan got it, he roughly estimated that even if he wanted to obtain the Sun Crown, he would have to dispatch half of his strength.

Instead of hunting for treasure with great fanfare and being caught by the navy and calculating, it is better to let out the wind and attract the main force of the navy to come to the decisive battle. At least take the initiative.

Of course, as for how magical that sun crown was, it didn't put it on Fang Yuan's heart at all.

Even if the Sun Crown could summon an invincible army, as rumored to be, it would be on land, not sea!

On the ocean, it is always the ship that is the most important! Otherwise, the Sun Dynasty would not have been limited to one continent.

"If you throw the bait this time, the navy will definitely take the bait, because they can't see the Pirate King City slowly developing on the side!"

Fang Yuan directly summoned the four pirate governors under his command, as well as the original subordinates: "Our whole army is dispatched, and there is no third-class sailing ship left, don't treat the Royal Navy as fools, thinking that they will definitely fall into our trap, but be ready to fight a hard battle!" ”

……

Three days later.

The junction of the Coral Sea and the Golden Sea, the sea of red agate.

A little bit of colorful light, reflected from the bottom of the sea, is dazzling, and people can't take their eyes off it.

If you are a stunned young man who has just stepped into the sea, you will even think that the bottom of the sea is full of treasures.

But in reality, these bright colors represent not wealth, but danger.

The sea water in this sea area, for some reason, is so poisonous that even an old fur seal will not survive for five minutes after going down.

In case of shipwreck on this sea, there is really no chance to drift.

But people can't adapt to the seawater, but there are some sea monsters who like it very much.

For example, a large nail fish, this fish has a fierce temperament, the mouth of the fish looks like a nail, swims fast, and likes to attack when it sees floating objects.

It won't take long for the bottom of an ordinary sailboat to become so pierced that no one can escape.

Because of so many dangers, this red agate sea is regarded as a forbidden area for navigation.

But at this time, a steel fleet sailed into the sea.

A large number of black shadows swaggered, and immediately made the school of perched nail fish go crazy, and quickly attacked towards the levitating matter.

Jingle Bell!

After a sound of striking iron, all the nail fish broke and sank into the sand, defeated on the thick armor of the steam ironclad.

"Hmm...... In general, battleships of the first rank are also not afraid of the attack of the Spikefish, but the defense of the steam ironclad is obviously better...... After the extermination of these pirates, you can develop a steam merchant ship and open up this route, which is definitely a good source of money! ”

Above deck, Admiral Firi said with satisfaction.

"Your Excellency, no traces of piracy have been found yet, but according to the letter from the previous privateer, a lot of discarded garbage has been found, and judging from the freshness, we will be able to catch up with those pirates in one day......"

Lieutenant General Norton's face was a little solemn.

They brought fifty steam ironclads this time, and it was simply the entire Royal Navy New Army that pressed all the money on the gambling table, and he couldn't help but be frightened.

"Take it easy...... Our main force gathered, but the other party couldn't help us, let's talk ...... Even if there are any traps, isn't there still a group of privateer captains in front of them to find their way? ”

Admiral Firi doesn't care about authenticity.

……

"Armageddon...... After World War I, will piracy come to an end? ”

On the Mermaid, Orlando holds a bottle of rum and sipes it without taking a sip.

Even though he wears decent gentleman's clothes, he is still a pirate at heart.

Thinking of Firi's plan, I can't help but feel a little sad.

Moreover, the Navy's attitude towards this group of privateer captains is also really chilling.

Probably because of the imminent extermination of the pirates, Insman dominates the four seas, so he is unwilling to do even the previous superficial work.

This time, it directly drove them to come out and die.

In Orlando's view, this mission is no different from a decoy sent to death.

Although the strength of the pirates has been reduced, how can the unified power of the pirate king be underestimated?

There is absolutely no problem in overthrowing these vanguard troops.

Insman's move is clearly preparing to consume these people!

"Damn...... Even if the main pirate force perishes in this battle, the pirate seed will not disappear......"

Orlando gritted his teeth.

'Ding! ’

At this moment, he suddenly heard a strange movement, and couldn't help but summon the system:

"Trigger the main quest - Decision!"

"Mission Description: Insman's vague alienation has made the pirate's heart in you stir, and everything will end in this sea battle! Follow your heart, make your faction choices, and play more of your part in the campaign! ”

"Mission Reward: After the Battle Tribulation, the contribution value will be accumulated and distributed in the form of floating rewards!"

……

"Floating rewards? In other words, the higher the contribution value, the more rewards......"

Orlando muttered, looking at his right palm.

In his heart, does he yearn for more freedom, or does he want to be a decent nobleman?

The answer...... As early as the first day I got on the ship, I had already decided! Conscience! Conscience! ”

Orlando's eyes darkened, and he clenched his fists violently.

Crash!

The sea cracked, and a huge tentacle with a suction cup stretched out.

"What's the matter? What happened? ”

An Insoman liaison immediately ran out.

Seeing this little character who spies on himself, Orlando's eyes are dark, but the smile on his face is even kinder: "It's just a small thing, nothing ......"
