Chapter 81: The Nanyang Robbery

Pirates flourished in the age of sails, and after being processed by various arts in later generations, they were given the meaning of romance, freedom, optimism, and other imaginary meanings, but in fact, they ...... When players actually experience pirate robbery in the game, they find that their hearts are full of all kinds of vicious words.

The gradual prosperity of the maritime trade, the rise of pirates, and the emergence of large pirate groups in various seas to threaten the trade routes at sea, of course, have the needs of the game process, but most of the pirates are caused by the player, which can be said to be self-reaping.

The scale of the pirate was very small at the beginning, it may be a sloop merchant ship, but the players were unwilling to spend money to hire escorts, all of them were a dozen or dozens of people who pooled money to hire a merchant ship and started to run the merchant without arming, and the hired merchant ship did not participate in the battle, and generally surrendered immediately when threatened by force, so it was common for a dhow merchant ship to rob a large fortune ship (three-masted class) at that time. But the players are not warned, after all, the goods that are hijacked by this kind of small ship are minority, at most there is no profit to be made in this transaction, and ten times the ship may not be able to meet a pirate, this loss is nothing compared to the cost of hiring a convoy.

So the strength of the pirate gradually increased with the connivance of the player, a sloop merchant ship became a dhow, a sloop became a brig, the old ship and the new ship pirate strength grew rapidly, a robbery can take away a whole ship of goods, how many players are bankrupt for this, and since then the sea has changed, it is really cutting meat to feed the tiger, and finally being eaten by the tiger.

The pirate began to show his hideous minions, and as the most prosperous maritime trade in the South Seas, it was also the center of piracy. The sea area here includes dozens of countries, the maritime borders are intertwined and complex, and the unclaimed islands abound, with special spices, sugar, rubber, palm oil, rice, various minerals, tea and lacquerware of the Han Dynasty; Fuso's knives and sake; Goryeo's ginseng, Western diamonds, ivory, and countless other riches can be found here, which is the best breeding ground for pirates.

Only those who come to the South Seas will know how wise it is to come to the South Seas to rob, and Gangzi brought the Black Sail Pirate Fleet Harbor into the Bass Strait in the south of Bend Island, and stopped an Australian fleet going north, a whole four large ships of copper mines. Copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins are the third-level monetary units in the game, although copper coins are the least valuable, but the amount of wealth converted into is also extremely amazing, Dahan lacks copper, but Australia has a large number of copper-rich mines, so it is a good deal to sell copper ore from Australia to Dahan, and the purchase price of copper ore in Dahan is a unified standard, and it does not need to be transported to the north of Dahan, and it can be transported directly to Wanwan Island to complete the transaction.

The Black Sail Pirate Fleet Harbor crossed the Crooked Island and robbed this batch of copper mines, I have to say that the other party's luck is too bad, although they belong to the NPC Chamber of Commerce fleet with two escort ships to escort it, but in the face of a three-masted warship, this merchant fleet does not even have the courage to resist, there is no chance of winning at all, not to mention that the goods are all finished, and the ships and personnel will also be buried in the sea together.

Of course, Gangzi did not rob all the goods of this caravan, there is a way of trickle of water, and there is also a way of thieves, since the Black Sail Pirates plan to mix in Nanyang for a long time, they have to try their best to maintain their reputation, if they cut off the absolute financial route, it is difficult to guarantee that the next time they meet the other party, they will not rise up to resist. Brother came to the South Seas to ask for money, not a war, all ships encountered the Black Sail Pirate Fleet will only take one percent of the goods, of course, according to one-tenth of the price of the goods to pay the toll, Brother also smiled, our Black Sail Pirate Regiment slogan is "to convince people with virtue." ”

After robbing the merchant fleet of one-tenth of the copper ore, Gangzi repeatedly showed the other party his bandit name and let them go, then turned around and bought the copper ore to Wanwan Island, emptied the cabin and continued south.

During these days, the Black Sail pirate fleet was cruising back and forth in the South Seas, and the hijacked ships only took 10% of the cargo, and sometimes on a whim they would escort the robbed ships for a distance, which was a rare exception among the pirates. The powerful fleet dominated by three-masted warships even exceeds the naval strength of some small countries in the South Seas, and even a slightly larger country is difficult to send a force that can encircle and suppress a fleet of this size under the mutual constraints of countries, so the word "black sail" gradually spread in this sea area.

Gangzi lived a comfortable life, and wherever the three-masted battleship passed, the merchant ships all looked forward to the wind, and even if they wanted to run, they couldn't outrun the pursuit of the two two-masted battleships, and they were just as obediently tied up. The Walrus escorted the armed merchant ship Tomato to Dahan Jiaozhou to sell it on the spot, but after a long time, those high-value miscellaneous goods quickly filled the cabins of each ship, and these things were sold to Jiaozhou far less profitable than being transported to the north of Dahan, and the time to come out was not short, so Gangzi decided that the fleet would set off to return to Heifan Island.

national channels;

Langli Baitiao: "Are there any big Han friends near the Seven Star Rock in the South China Sea, coordinates***:***Our caravan has encountered pirates and is running southeast, there are big Han players nearby, please support." ”

Someone asked, "Aren't you running further and further away from the mainland when you run southeast?" ”

Langli Baitiao: "I was returning from the Philippines, and when I arrived at Seven Star Rock, I met the pirate fleet, of course we turned around and ran, and the pirates followed behind the buttocks, what can you do?" ”

"Running to the Philippines? Do you have battleships to escort you? The players there aren't friendly. ”

"Four dhows, five sloops, ten sloops, and fifty large fortune ships, but they are cargo ships that hire NPCs and chambers of commerce, and they don't help in the war......"

"This is a good scale, what kind of battleship is the other party? If you have two brigs and an ordinary pirate captain, you can still maneuver around and wait for the Han Navy to support. ”

White stripes in the waves: "Four brigs." ”

"You are tragic, lose the car and protect the handsome, with the size of your caravan, give them two lucky ships, and still have some money, recently the pirates have been happy, many ships have been robbed"

Baitiao in the waves: "You said lightly, a lucky boat with many people, who to give?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll make a suggestion, whether you need it or not."

Baitiao in the waves: "I can't use it if I want to, there is a pirate ship in front of me, and I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today." ”

In the area of Qixingyan, a fleet of more than 60 ships spread out a large formation and flew to the southeast, behind them were four brigs, including two brigs and two armed merchant ships, which could be described as weak, as long as the fleet in front dared to turn back and attack, these four brigs could only turn around and escape, but in fact, it was four brigs that were scurrying around with such a huge fleet.

The rules are the rules, the NPC Chamber of Commerce is only responsible for the delivery of goods, and it will not fight anyway, if you want to be safe, you can, add money to escort the fleet before going to sea.

At the tail of the fleeing merchant fleet was a dhow, and a player captain in the bow looked at the new pirate fleet in front of him and scolded, "I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, and I ran into two groups of pirates at once." ”

This person is Langli Baitiao, the commander of the White Shark Guild Fleet, although the White Shark Guild does not have a legion order, but it already has a territory, located on the coast of Yangzhou called White Shark Village, as the main guild attacking the ocean, White Shark has more than 40 ships of all kinds, the second largest Han Dynasty, the first is of course the world's first army of the Lingxiao fleet.

With a fleet of this size, the profits of offshore trade must be unsightly, so the White Shark followed Ling Xiao's example, set up an escort fleet, and organized guild members to run ocean trade, Yangzhou, the base of the White Shark Guild, is located in the East China Sea, and in terms of geographical relations, the White Shark fleet that can effectively use the South Sea trade in advance has much advantages over the Ling Xiao fleet.

Large Fu ships belong to three-masted ships, unique ships of the Han Dynasty, known for their loading capacity, it is very suitable to run trade, of course, the employment cost is not something that a single player can afford, so the employment cost of a Fu ship plus the purchase of goods, often requires hundreds of players to pour all their funding, and the loss of one represents the bankruptcy of some players, and at the same time, the credit of the guild fleet is also a big loss.

Fifty lucky ships travel together, each lucky ship is equipped with twenty guns, and if it really fights, the pirate's small fleet is really not enough, but the NPC merchant ships hired by the player do not participate in the battle, so the naval battle still depends on the nineteen small ships in the waves.

Nineteen ships are nothing more than sloops and small sailboats, this kind of naval combat force against the next four brigs is a one-sided defeat, don't you see the tragic scene of players in Goryeo and Fuso being beaten by several brigs? Not to mention the pirate fleet that appeared in front, that pirate fleet actually had a three-masted battleship, plus four brigs in the back, it could fight against a small navy, not to mention their small ships that could barely go out to the far sea.

"Merchant ships stop sailing, surrender! The White Shark Second Fleet evaded due south. ”

Langli Baitiao decisively issued an order, there is no chance of winning the naval battle, he can gather the ships owned by the small half guild here, and the loss of all the sank here to the guild is far greater than the loss of a few ships, although the loss of goods affects the reputation, but without a fleet, all reputations are nonsense.

The fleet dodged, the merchant ships were lost in place, and the pirates didn't have the heart to kill them all when they saw the fat, fifty lucky ships, the pirates couldn't rob them all, and a small number of damaged players, it was not difficult for the guild to come forward to solve them.

However, the upgrade of the fleet ships must be carried out quickly, and you can't be robbed obediently every time you encounter a large pirate in the future! Hiding on the periphery, the white stripe in the waves slammed his fist on the side of the ship.

The forty ships owned by the guild form a fleet in the eyes of the player is very powerful, and the powerful can trade in a hostile country like the Philippines, but in the eyes of the NPCs are nothing, a random pirate can force them to escape, and the interests of the guild players cannot be guaranteed, this time it may be able to be suppressed, but next time, will you have to abandon the merchant ship and run away? So what's the use of escorting the fleet?

From the direction of the escort fleet, the pirates in both directions blocked the caravan, and circled around with great force, and Baitiao was busy contacting the guild players on the merchant ship, "Don't resist, the pirates sink the merchant ship, and you will lose more." ”

All the net worth is here, and there are a few players who can calm down, and the white stripes in the waves are anxious to appease.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Shelling, who thinks it's not enough to provoke pirates!
