Chapter Seventy-One: The Four Pirate Kings

I'll go, I'm scared to death!

Lu Cheng sat on the barrel with his buttocks.

"Ding~ Dear player, you have won this battle, and you have received +500 gold."

"Ding~ Dear player, you defeated the level 1 pirate force Doom Pirate Group, honor points +116."

"Ding~ Dear player, you eliminated the leader of the level 1 pirate group (junior captain) Pinaire, you sank 1 junior ordinary pirate battleship, you completely eliminated the doom pirate group, honor points +400."

"Ding~ Dear player, you have obtained some blueprints of Caravel-class battleships (the blueprint completion rate is 1/20)."

......

The rewards are okay, but the limited-time invitation has been taken off the shelves, and it can only be exchanged for high-skilled professional citizens. The hateful thing is that you can only exchange 10 invitations per month, and if you can buy them without limits, you can redeem at least 100 high-level skilled professional citizens by killing 10,000 people. After seeing the situation, you have to exchange some materials or drawings with honor points, otherwise there is no interest on the deposit, isn't it a pure waste.

In the distance, sporadic explosions could be heard from the pirate warship.

An hour earlier, the sudden attack of the pirate warship had convinced everyone that the other was a pirate.

After the start of the war, the lack of training of the crew, especially the gunners, was seriously exposed, in the case that both sides were the same artillery, the pirates fired half the frequency, and the shooting accuracy was far from the same, if it was not for the last round of lucky shots to hit the powder magazine of the pirate battleship, the final result of this battle is difficult for anyone to say.

"My lord, the fire has been extinguished." Lu Nan, who was full of exhaustion, walked over and looked at the messy deck with a sad face, "We have lost 13 crew members, and more than 20 people were injured, the gun carriage of one gun was destroyed and needed to be repaired, and the 11 cabins on the battleship were seriously damaged. ”

Lu Cheng calmly patted Lu Nan's shoulder and comforted: "Don't be discouraged, everyone's performance in this battle is actually very good, no one is afraid of the battle and retreats, which is worthy of praise." As for the problem of lack of combat experience, as long as there is more training and more running-in, it is not a problem. ”

"Thank you for your advice." Lu Nan raised his head, "Through this battle, I feel that I have touched the threshold of the intermediate level. ”

Isn't that a good thing?

What Lu Cheng needs most now is not the number of warships, but the senior captains and crews. Judging from the battle just now, the pirate almost defeated us with a ship half the size, which shows that the senior captain and crew are very effective in improving their combat effectiveness and can give full play to the ability of the battleship, on the contrary, no matter how good the battleship is, it is likely that it will not even be able to exert half of its strength when it encounters a rookie crew.

War, after all, is the only way to do it when both people and equipment are strong.

"The crew fished out some supplies from the pirate warship, and in addition to the supplies, we also captured a pirate prisoner."

Lu Cheng was puzzled: "Didn't the pirate warship be blown up directly by us when the ammunition rack exploded?" And pirates can survive? ”

"I don't know much about the specifics, so if you are interested, you can interrogate it."

......

"Big brother, I'm really not a pirate, I'm a civilian." Tsukamoto explained with tears in his eyes.

After being rescued by the crew, several militiamen tied him directly to the mast with ropes because they did not know the details of Tsukamoto.

The ship suffered a lot of casualties in the battle with the pirates just now, and the other side is likely to kill the captured pirates to vent their hatred. So when faced with interrogation, Tsukamoto insisted that he was a civilian caught by pirates, not a pirate. After receiving a few punches, Tsukamoto still held on to his words, resolutely refusing to admit his status as a pirate.

Tsukamoto really couldn't say the bitterness in his heart, and finally escaped the fire of the Doom, but jumped into the pit again.

He carefully examined the militia who interrogated him, and the equipment was quite good, much better than most pirates, but certainly not people who often begged for a living at sea, because it was impossible for people who worked and lived at sea for a long time to wear such thick armor and equipment, and those who lived at sea were usually lightly armed.

And if you look closely, you will find that this Calais-class battleship is also brand new, and the wood joints in many places have not yet left the dirt left after a long period of use.

What kind of force is this? First of all, it's certainly not pirates, pirates like to go to places where shipping is busy to find opportunities, how can normal pirates run to such a place where birds don't.

"Is that him?"

While Tsukamoto was thinking, two more people walked up to him, and one of the younger asked the other.

"It was him, and the crew rescued him during the salvage process, when he was floating on the surface of the sea with a wooden barrel."

Lu Cheng looked up and down, left and right, back and forth: "I heard you say that you are not a pirate just now?" ”

Tsukamoto nodded vigorously: "Big brother, I'm really not a pirate, why are you tying me up, I'm just a civilian." ”

Civilian?

Lu Chenghu looked up and down suspiciously, a few more times, medium size, beard, and slightly thick arms.

When he saw Tsukamoto's hand, Lu Cheng knew that he was pulling calves, and this thing was definitely not a civilian.

"Calluses don't grow on the palms of civilians, only people who often pull ropes on boats will have calluses like yours." Lu Cheng pointed to Tsukamoto's hand, "If you don't tell the truth, I don't mind throwing you into the sea to feed the fish." ”

Tsukamoto subconsciously looked at his hands.

"The adults spare their lives, the little ones just want to make a living."

Tsukamoto, who knew that he was exposed, said with tears in his eyes: "I used to be a civilian, and then I became a pirate because of the old and the young, and life was not easy, but I have never done evil things that have lost my conscience. ”

Let you live? It depends on your value, as for the old and the young, Lu Cheng doesn't believe it at all, this guy has his own sound and light special effects when he talks about panic, but anyone with a higher IQ than a stool will not believe in this performance.

You're better suited to be an actor, and when a pirate buries your talent.

"What's your name?" "Tsukamoto."

"Tell me about the Doom Pirates."

"Adult, the little one really doesn't want to be a pirate, the little one didn't have any rice to cook at home......"

"If you pull the calf again, I'll let you be a shark's snack."

"The little ones know that they are wrong, and the small ones know that they are wrong." Tsukamoto hurriedly wiped his cold sweat, and the big man in front of him didn't listen to his defense at all, which made him extremely anxious, "The Doom Pirate Group is a new pirate group registered on Black Gold Island 1 year ago, the leader is named Pinel, he used to be a maritime merchant, and he was suppressed because he offended officials in business, and then he came to Black Gold Island for unknown reasons and bought a battleship and became the head of the pirate group. ”

"When the Doom Pirates were first formed, they plundered several merchant ships, my lord, I haven't killed anyone......"

"If you digress again, you won't have a chance to say it."

"Yes, yes, I'll continue, I'll continue."

Tsukamoto was so frightened that he could only tell everything he saw and heard, in a year, the Doom Pirate Group actually did not rob many merchant ships, and because there would be bloody killings after each robbery, it was completely inconsistent with the style of many pirate groups to rob money and not kill people, resulting in a lot of reduction in the number of merchant ships on several shipping routes, which affected the business of other pirate groups. Therefore, the reputation of the Doom Pirates is not good, and other pirate groups will try their best to exclude them, and they will never invite the Doom Pirates every time there is a joint operation.

Lu Cheng didn't care too much about the doomed pirate group, he was more concerned about the pirate alliance and the Black Gold Island mentioned by Tsukamoto.

"What kind of organization is the Pirate Alliance?"

"My lord, the Pirate Alliance was formed by the four pirate kings of the Karins island group, and the four pirate kings are the Pirate King of the East, the Pirate King of the West, the Pirate King of the South, and the Pirate King of the North." Tsukamoto replied.

"What is the Karins island group?" Lu Cheng heard this term for the first time.

Tsukamoto's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "My lord, you don't know about the Karins island group?" ”

"What so much nonsense, hurry up." Lu Cheng was unhappily intimidated, there are too few public information about this damn game, and a lot of information has to be obtained from NPCs, which is so sad.

Tsukamoto was startled, he didn't dare to provoke Lu Cheng again, he wanted to live, so he used his strength to explain.

Although the players are all in the so-called Central Island Group, in fact, the area of the Central Island Group is extremely large, after all, hundreds of millions of players are here, and the area is not large.

The central island group is too large, and the inner islands are not evenly distributed, and the density of islands will be larger in some places, and the density of islands will be smaller in some places, and for convenience, some islands will be more concentrated in a separate area, and the Karins island group belongs to an island group in the easterly direction. Tsukamoto didn't know much information, but as far as he knew, there were more than 500 islands in the Karins island group, and in general, they were located in the east of the island group, and the density of islands was much lower than in the west.

"How strong is the Pirate King of the North?" Lu Cheng was more concerned about the situation of the Northern Pirate King who had a holiday with him.

"Jack, the Pirate King of the North, should be ranked third among the four Pirate Kings, and the weakest is the Pirate King of the East. He has a total of five fleets under his command, namely the Evil Spirit Pirate Regiment directly under the Pirate King and the four Pirate Regiments of Spades, Hearts, Plum Blossoms, and Diamonds, each of which has a different strength, among which the Evil Spirit Pirate Regiment is the strongest, it is said that there are more than 100 warships, while the other 4 pirate groups have 20 to 50 warships, adding up to a total of 250 warships, more than the 200 ships of the Pirate King of the East. Of course, the strongest is still the Western Pirate King, who heard from the tavern owner that there are more than 500 warships. ”

The name of this fleet is really unique enough.

Lu Cheng slightly complained about the naming talent of the Northern Pirate King.

Of course, the pressure is still quite high, thinking that the Northern Pirate King has 250 warships, Lu Chengcheng feels uncomfortable, if the other party really launches a crazy wave of 100 ships to besiege, even if the territory develops for another month, it will definitely not be able to resist.

You have to improve your strength!

"Tell me about the situation on Black Gold Island."

Lu Cheng glanced at the anxious Tsukamoto: "The information you provide is very valuable, if you answer the questions well, I promise to let you go." ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Tsukamoto cried with joy, he was most worried about the result of being stabbed to death by the other party after he finished telling everything he knew.
