Chapter 311: Pursuit or Seduction

After discussing the feasibility of the plan with Yorick, Yu Fei began to implement the plan to attack the harbor of Earls. The first step of the plan still needs the help of human pirates, considering that the recognition of the pirate group by those new pirates is not high enough, and they may not be able to implement the plan perfectly, Yorick personally dispatched according to Yu Fei's orders.

Captain Mandel was the supreme commander of a warship attached to the Seventh Fleet of the Kingdom of Thebehi. On this day, as usual, he was escorting a convoy of the Chamber of Commerce towards a seaport in the east, along with two other warships.

Half-reclining on the chaise longue in the captain's cabin, Captain Mandel gently shook the glass in his hand, and then drank the wine in the cup. This kind of life is really comfortable! Savoring the taste of wine with his eyes closed, Captain Mandel sighed in his heart.

The Seventh Fleet was the fleet of the Kingdom of Thebehi stationed in the harbor of Earls, which was responsible for guarding the security of the harbor of Earls and escorting a number of unarmed ships at sea for a fee. Because for more than 100 years, pirates have been deflated in this sea, and for pirates, the oil and water in Earls Harbor is not as great as that of other prosperous harbors, so the pressure on the Seventh Fleet is very small.

Captain Mandel, who had tasted the perfect wine, walked out of the captain's cabin and onto the deck. Looking at the other two warships escorting the caravan together, Captain Mandel felt unhappy in his heart.

Really, isn't it just a merchant ship transporting some low-grade magic cores and low-quality magic crystals, why send three warships to escort it. There is no piracy in this area at all, and there will be no pirates who will compete with the regular navy of my kingdom of Thebehi because of these supplies that are of little use to them.

Actually, it's enough to just let me escort Mandel with a warship. Glancing at the small caravan again, Captain Mandel made a conclusion in his mind.

It's no wonder that Captain Mandel thinks so. The Seventh Fleet escorted merchant ships for a fee. Half of the caravan's remuneration is distributed to the ships on which they carry out their missions. Same pay. Of course, what you get from three boats and one boat is not the same. That's why Captain Mandel complained that the superior of the fleet would not let him have a ship to carry out escort duties.

However, Captain Mandel soon stopped complaining about the number of warships escorting the caravan, and instead felt that the superior of the fleet should send more warships to carry out escort duties. Because, in Captain Mandel's line of sight, more than a dozen ships appeared in the distance.

When these ships were far away, Captain Mandel didn't care, thinking it was some other merchant ship or something. But as the dozen or so ships approached Captain Mandel's fleet, they could see the skeletal pirate flags that were common to all worlds on them. Captain Mandel panicked.

What's going on?! How could there be pirates in this area? Even Captain Mandel, who was very proud of his status in the Kingdom Navy, was cold at this time.

Although in the name of a regular navy, the strength of these three warships is indeed stronger than that of ordinary pirates, and they can barely do it with one enemy and two or even one enemy and three. However, there were fourteen ships of pirates, eleven more than them.

With a gap of nearly five times, without even communicating with each other, the three warships chose to flee at the same time. As for the merchant ships they escorted, they were too slow to take them, so they had to ask for more blessings.

However, although the three warships chose to escape, the pirate ships did not give up the pursuit. Two of the fourteen pirate ships were assigned to manage or plunder the merchant ships. The other pirate ships were in hot pursuit of the three ships.

Captain Mandel, who looked back and saw this scene, couldn't help but scold. Are these pirates crazy? It's time to hunt down the kingdom's regular navy! Why don't you let those merchant ships that we have abandoned not rob and come after us!

Although I feel aggrieved. However, both Captain Mandel and the captains of the other two ships knew that they would never be able to defeat the pursuing enemy with only three ships, so they chose to continue to flee.

However, after seeing that the pirate ships had been in hot pursuit, Captain Mandel had a sneer on his face and silently returned to the captain's cabin from the deck.

As the temporary commander of the three warships escorting the caravan this time, Captain Mandel was routinely given a magical teleportation device. If the pirates hadn't chosen to pursue, Captain Mandel wasn't prepared to use the teleportation device to notify friendly forces in the harbor to come to their aid.

Because the pirates have always been resolute, by the time reinforcements came, the caravan would have been looted long ago, and the pirates would have disappeared without a trace. However, since these pirates who do not know whether they are alive or dead have chosen to pursue, they must pay the price.

Returning to the captain's quarters, Captain Mandel activated the magic teleportation device, informing the superiors of the Seventh Fleet in Port Earls of what had just happened and the fact that twelve pirate ships were now chasing them.

The magic teleportation device was a one-way message, and Captain Mandel received no response from the port. However, he was confident that the Seventh Fleet, which had not been provoked by pirates for a long time, would definitely have a drastic response. When the time came, looking at the pirate ship still trailing behind him, Captain Mandel let out a few sinister laughs.

The pirate ship that followed the three ships that escaped did not know Captain Mandel's actions, and followed the three ships unhurriedly. After a long time, Captain Mandel also realized that something was wrong.

What are these pirates trying to do? When the warship speeds up, they speed up, and when the warship slows down, they also slow down, just hanging not close or far, rushing up and attacking without accelerating. Didn't these pirates know that the harbor of Earls wasn't very far from here?

Soon, however, Captain Mandel put the question behind him, for in his mind the swaggering pirates had been sentenced to death—and the fleet reinforcements had arrived.

Looking at the eight warships sailing in the distance, the nervous look on Captain Mandel's face suddenly disappeared. The regular navy is much stronger than the average pirate, and the eight warships that came to help, plus the three on their side, can already easily eliminate the twelve pirate ships that have been chasing them.

However, according to the character of his boss, he should send twenty warships at a time to deal with these pirates with overwhelming strength, so as to warn other pirates, right? Why did you send only eight ships? Captain Mandel had some doubts in his mind.

However, thinking that the existing ships were enough to destroy the pursuing pirates, Captain Mandel didn't think much more, and turned the bow of the ship to meet the pursuing pirates.

Taking advantage of the fact that those pirates have not yet found reinforcements from the fleet due to sight problems, they have to entangle these daring pirates first. Otherwise, when they saw those eight warships, they would definitely run away, and wouldn't they be able to avenge being chased so far? Captain Mandel thought to himself.

Quite cooperatively, those pirate ships actually started fighting Captain Mandel and them. Although it was a scale of three to twelve, the throwing stones and giant crossbows flew together, and the arrows and flags danced together, and for a time they actually fought vividly.

Captain Mandel was still a little apprehensive at the beginning of the battle, after all, the opponents were temporarily four times as many as his own. Unexpectedly, after the battle began, Captain Mandel discovered that these pirates who were bold enough to dare to pursue the regular navy were not very strong.

I'm hehe~~ Twelve pirate ships only slightly suppressed our three warships, and when the eight friendly warships behind caught up, it was not a matter of minutes to defeat you? Although he was temporarily at a disadvantage, Captain Mandel felt very relieved, as if he had seen the scene when the pirates on the other side were eliminated.

However, the more he fought, the more Captain Mandel felt that something was wrong. It wasn't until a quarter of the spell had been fought against the twelve pirate ships, and all three ships were scarred, that Captain Mandel realized what was wrong.

What about our reinforcements?! Those eight warships are obviously not far from here, why haven't we joined the battlefield after fighting for so long? Filled with doubts and uneasiness, Captain Mandel temporarily handed over the responsibility of commanding the battle to the first mate, while he hurried to the stern of the ship to observe the reinforcements.

The sight of Captain Mandel shattering his whole body. The eight naval warships that were originally thought to be saviors were only two at this time, and these two also looked like they were about to sink.

As for the other six, just look at the six whirlpools on the surface of the sea that are gradually disappearing, and you can see that they have sunk. The culprit for all this is the ten ships whose hulls were all painted black when I don't know when the road appeared.

The last scene that caught Captain Mandel's eyes was when the two remaining reinforcement ships turned around and fled, only to be shot directly with a huge amount of energy from the rain of arrows pouring out of the dark ships. Explosive situation. Then he fainted, and said nothing.

Captain Mandel was fortunate that he did not suffer the humiliation of being captured by the pirates in his sobriety, because he fell in love with these three ships, Yu Fei chose to take them prisoner who had lost the courage to resist.

The twelve pirate ships were all human pirates of the Iron Anchor Pirates, and they did those seemingly brainless actions before according to Yu Fei's plan. And after seeing that the regular navy of the Thebehi Kingdom, which was strong in their eyes, was powerless under the attack of those mysterious black-clad pirates, the unruly pirates also obeyed all of Yu Fei's orders.

After successfully killing eight warships and capturing three of the warships in Earls Harbor here, the human pirates divided several pirate ships according to Yu Fei's order to transport the supplies they had obtained back to Iron Anchor Island. The other human pirates followed ten dark ships towards the harbor of Earls. (To be continued......)
