After more than three months of treasure hunting and distraction, the Intrepid finally returned to Port Royal and the place where it set off.

On that evening three months ago, when they had set out with only one Dreadnought, and now, when they returned, they had two more ships. Moreover, they went on an expedition this time, and the harvest was huge!

Loaded with three ships of all sorts of gold and silver treasures, these huge riches would have been collected by plundering the New World for at least several years in the past!

And in order to contain these riches, the shells and gunpowder in the ammunition depots on their three ships have basically been discarded, and even the guns on the Dreadnought have been thrown into the sea.

In addition to these treasures, there is also a large group of legendary sea magical creatures - mermaids!

However, at this moment, they did not show the surface of the sea, but continued to lurk in the sea under the fleet, slowly following the ship's movements.

These are not the biggest gains of little Annie's adventure this time, if you talk about the volume alone, at the rear of the fleet, on the stern of the Spanish battleship with the tail of the crane, there is also a huge octopus dragged by a thick cable, and this big guy is the most "big" harvest of their adventure!

This big octopus is the one summoned by David Jones's flying Dutchman, ready to attack Little Annie's fleet on the way back!

Well, David Jones must have made a stupid move!

You know, what little Anne is best at is dealing with some big guys!

Think about the beginning, when little Anne was two years old, she once caught a huge shadow bear, which is now Tibbs the bear!

(Can we stop talking about this?) - Tibbs)

We all know that when Timbers the bear is released, Annie's little bear will become immensely huge! Moreover, this is not Tibbs's original form, because it is bound by the enchanted skin of the teddy bear, which can become even larger if the skin is torn off!

There are more ferocious monsters than this sea monster, like those dragons or something, you know, there are only two dragons that died directly or indirectly under the hands of Little Annie! The dragon slaying buffs on Little Anne and Tibbs are already stacked on two layers!

Therefore, the sea monster summoned by David Jones can only be physically attacked, even ordinary cannons can damage it, it is really not a dish!

What else could it do in its morning appearance but scare the sailors for a while, and nearly tear apart a Spanish warship?

Originally, when little Anne saw such a big sea monster, she still wanted to capture it alive and control it, but who would have thought that although this monster looked big and ferocious, its IQ didn't seem to be very high, and it was too difficult to communicate, so she was angry and accidentally killed it!

No, at this moment, it was being tied to its two huge tentacles by two thick cables, tied to the last ship, and dragged in the sea.

Such a big guy, perhaps, everyone in Port Royal today is going to have a good time? Tentacle monsters bigger than the biggest whale in the ocean, surely no one has ever eaten them, right?

I just don't know how David Jones would feel when he learned that his pet had been eaten?

Port Royal was getting closer and closer, and the silhouette of the huge island and harbor in the distance could already be seen with the naked eye, so the crew of the Intrepid as long as they were not working, gathered on the deck or the bow of the ship, and watched the Jamaican islands begin to appear on the sea in the distance.

At their current pace, in another quarter of an hour, they would have completed this final journey, and presumably, they should be able to enter the harbor before dusk.

This is also due to the fact that the Intrepid was dragging two unpowered Spanish warships behind it, and the huge octopus that landed in the sea at the end, otherwise, they would have gone faster!

"Are we in the wrong place? How do I feel that Port Royal seems to be a little different? ”

Jack Sparrow was standing on the bow of the Dreadnought, holding his Eagle Eye binoculars, and he could see the harbor of Port Royal clearly.

It's just that what he can't figure out is: where is the unloading square behind the port, what is going on with those clear-fledged and well-armored troops? Also, what about the golden flags that were flying on the city walls and the castle? Could it be that after they left, Port Royal was occupied by some great force?

Even, even the witches who can set fires, they have been driven away by others?

"Let me see."

His regular telescope couldn't see clearly, so Norrington snatched Jack Sparrow's telescope and carefully observed Port Royal in the distance.

"That's right, that's Port Royal! It's just ......"

The rest of the words, Norrington sighed inwardly, and did not say any more.

He had just recognized not only Charlotte in golden armor from Jack Sparrow's telescope, but also Governor Swan standing in the welcoming crowd.

So, those witches, they've mastered Port Royal completely, right?

Just now, he didn't find any soldiers in red British uniforms in the telescope, so it seems that those witches don't need them anymore, right?

Those armoured armies may be the new army of witches, but this is a little too fast, right? In just over three months, an army has been formed? They still look very disciplined, are witches so magical?

“……”

However, these are just small things, which have been expected by him, and they are not too surprising.

But what worries him the most is: what happened to the rows of huge warships docked at the military district docks in Port Royal? Why do they dock there?

If he was not mistaken, those warships seem to be the fleet of the British Empire in the Caribbean Sea? That number, he just roughly counted, there are nearly thirty or so?

That must be the Caribbean Fleet, right? Why are they here in Port Royal, the Witches? Captured by a witch? And what about the other ships of the fleet? Is it sinking? Or was it burned by a witch? Or was it a fluke?

Which idiot commander let them attack Port Royal?

Alas......

Sighing helplessly, Norrington's mood at this time was very complicated.

Even he didn't expect that in just three months, the strength of the witches would swell to this point!?

Himself and Governor Swan, I'm afraid, have now become sinners in the British Empire, right?

Where is the path of the two of them? What should he do?

Thinking of this, Norrington's face sank.

It seems that it's time to make a plan for yourself! Otherwise, once they really want to return to the British mainland, there will be no other choice than the cold gallows, and what awaits the two of them, perhaps, there will be no other choice.

"Aha! What a majestic city! And, a mighty army! ”

Barbossa also took the telescope from Norrington's hand and looked at it for a moment, and then he suddenly spoke.

"Dear Lady Anne, I don't know, your power lacks an experienced admiral? I, Hector Barbossa, will be at your service! ”

Barbossa's sudden defection startled everyone.

Aside from Norrington, who had the same idea, was thoughtful, Jack Sparrow was puzzled. Didn't this Barbossa keep shouting that after returning to Port Royal and gaining freedom, he would drive away directly from the Black Pearl?

"Huh? Don't ask me about this kind of thing! Go away, it stinks! ”

Little Anne rolled her eyes at the pirate leader and waved him impatiently to get away.

She doesn't need a telescope to see in the distance now. So, of course, she also saw the current situation of Port Royal and the harbor square, where there was a queue waiting to meet her witches and the army.

Tibbs ...... Was there anything funny going on in Port Royal during this time?

(Nothing, that chick named Charlotte seems to be much more ambitious than your fire demon servant, Shane Knox, who is now ready to attack the entire Caribbean and the surrounding New World!) - Tiebs, who was forced to sign a contract and borrowed power from the other party, of course knows what the chick is doing, and as long as it is still in this world, everything the other party does cannot escape its surveillance!

There is another important thing that Tiebs did not say, that is: after the other side takes the New World, it is preparing to counterattack the whole of Europe and even the whole world.

This time, the reason why the other party was able to know that Little Annie's fleet was coming back at this time was, of course, because Tiebs secretly sent a message to the Charlotte chick to remind her to wake up. ）

Oh......

Anne felt as if she had accidentally saved an amazing person!

That Sister Charlotte, she looks so capable, look, it's only been three months apart, and I almost can't recognize her! It seems that she has now completely captured Port Royal? Moreover, it seems that a lot of witches and armies have developed?

It's just that little Anne doesn't care about occupying territory and fighting wars now.

You must know that little Anne was the queen of a flame kingdom with tens of millions of fire elements and the cute lord of the Flame Alliance united by several big forces!

When she was in the world of Azeroth, she had had enough of fighting and conquering cities, and at that time, she had commanded the 300,000 armies of the Flame Alliance to fight against the undead scourge!

And now, here on Earth, this kind of petty fight like a house, she doesn't want to pay attention to it!

"Barbossa, are you crazy?"

Jack Sparrow was a little confused when he saw Barbossa suddenly show his loyalty to Anne the Witch. Surrender to witches, where is the freedom to be a pirate?

If it weren't for the fact that he was now worried about David Jones and didn't dare to go to sea casually without the protection of the witch, he would have found an opportunity to deceive a good ship and then continue to go to sea to surf!

He's Jack Sparrowo a pirate king! Growing up by the sea, he loves waves!

"Hmph...... That's right, I'm crazy! ”

Barbossa glanced at Jack with a strange smile, but didn't explain much.

"He's not crazy, but he's shrewd! You'd better look at the military port for yourself. ”

Norrington shook his head as well, and threw the telescope to Jack Sparrow.

After seeing Barbossa's statement, he suddenly felt a little disheartened, perhaps, should he have shown his loyalty to the witch earlier? Then, a better future?

It's just that now in his heart, there is always a hurdle that he can't overcome.

These people in the navy, after being defeated and captured, worked for witches in exchange for their freedom, which is very reasonable!

However, if he turned his head and saw that the witch was powerful and changed his flag directly, it always made him feel that it seemed to be sorry for his own honor and faith, and also worthy of his pride as a commodore in the Royal Navy of the British Empire?

But...... If he doesn't, after leaving the witch, I'm afraid that there will be only a dead end for him......

This situation couldn't help but put him in a dilemma. Perhaps, when he enters Port Royal, he needs to talk to Governor Swann about it? After understanding the specific situation and analyzing the pros and cons, can you make a decision?

"Barbossa, I think you're despicable!"

After Norrington's reminder, Jack Sparrow also saw the signs.

"Aha, I almost forgot! You provoked a rebellion to rob my Black Pearl! It's normal to be able to do this kind of thing now! ”

Jack Sparrow put away his precious binoculars, and he had finally discovered why Barbossa had been so eager to show his loyalty and willingly submit to the witch.

It turns out that in the military district of Port Royal, there are nearly thirty huge warships moored? And, it seems, most of them are battleships? It sees, the Caribbean Fleet of the British, is completely finished?

There are so many ships, not to mention Barbossa, even if it's him Jack Sparrow, he's blushing himself!

Wouldn't he himself hurry up and show his loyalty?

Anyway, he's been hired by a witch himself, and maybe, he can get ten ships of eight and organize a Jack Sparrow fleet? That's all battleships!

With so many ships, will the entire Caribbean Sea be able to go sideways in the future?

Maybe it's time to change the title of Captain Jack Sparrow? As...... It's called the Great Jack? Commander of the Sparrow fleet? Or, the famous Captain of Sparrow's fleet?

"I'm sorry, correct it again! The Black Pearl, it's already mine! This is what Lady Anne Witch personally agreed! ”

Barbossa dismissively retorted to Jack Sparrow. Now that it's all come to this, he's still thinking about the idea of fighting the Black Pearl?

"Bastard! That's my black pearl! Sparrow's Black Pearl! ”

The Black Pearl was a symbol of Jack Sparrow, and it had always been a scar on his heart, and he wouldn't let it go so easily.

"Oh? Is it? I don't think so! ”

Barbossa stared mercilessly at Jack standing in front of him, and the monkey on his shoulder began to jump up and down, grinning and screaming, cheering on his master.

“……”

Norrington looked amusefully at the two noisy pirate leaders as they continued to argue over an inconspicuous pirate ship. This situation has happened many times in such a long time at sea, and he is no longer surprised.

"Attention everyone! Prepare to slow down, we start entering the port! ”

As the fleet approached Port Royal, Norrington left the bow of the ship and walked to the deck to beckon the sailors to get busy, and the cable connecting the two Spanish warships needed to be untied quickly.

Now that they were getting closer to Port Royal, and as the captain of the Dreadnought, of course, he had to direct the crew to do their work, and now they were a bit fast, and if they didn't reduce their sails and lower their speed, they would probably crash into the trestle.

Eventually, guided by a small boat, the Intrepid slowly approached a stone dock, and soon several soldiers were carrying a luxurious ladder that snapped onto the edge of the Intrepid so that the people on it could walk down calmly.

"Ahh You are...... Sister Charlotte? ”

Cecilia and Christina, twin sisters who followed Nitanne down, looked in amazement at Charlotte in golden armor and the group of armored knights behind her.

The two sisters are almost unrecognizable now!

"Greetings to my lord!"

Charlotte nodded to the twin sisters, but did not answer them. Instead, he stepped forward directly, knelt down on one knee in front of little Annie, bowed his head and said loudly.

"Greetings to my lord!!"

Behind Charlotte, more than a hundred witches, Corria Pofort, and Mary Chaska also knelt down on one knee at the same time.

"Greetings to the Sect Master!!"

The other soldiers and knights who were standing guard also knelt down on their knees and shouted loudly.

This sudden sound of the huge formation frightened Jack Sparrow, who had just walked on the staircase, almost fell into the sea, but fortunately, Brigadier General Norrington behind him pulled him by the hand, so that he did not make a fool of himself in public.

It's just that his pirate hat has now fallen into the sea!

"Huh? Thank you for your kindness! ”

After standing firm, he calmed down, and rarely turned back to Norrington to say a word of thanks.

"I knew it was going to happen!"

Little Anne helplessly reached out to support her forehead, and sure enough, this was just as she had guessed before.

This Sister Charlotte, she actually made such a big battle! Now, the witch's affairs seem to have developed in a direction that she can't imagine!

When did she become the leader of Raushzi?

What else is her little bear Tiebs hiding from herself? What else is there that you haven't told yourself? Even if she never asks about this, won't it take the initiative to tell herself when she has time?

Anne has never liked to live according to the rules, and in any case, she is at a playful and active age.

If she really wanted to worship her like a goddess, she wouldn't be happy! In her opinion, it's not fun at all!

......

"Hey! Do you see that? They were actually greeting the little girl? ”

In the distance, the citizens who crowded together to watch finally discovered that the witches of the Flame God Cult were actually greeting a little girl, which had to make the crew and sailors who did not know the truth feel a little puzzled.

It was only after seeing Anne in the carriage and the witches, knights, and soldiers following behind, that the townspeople began to speculate.

Many of them didn't know who the little girl was, and why did it deserve to be greeted by these witches so excitedly? This kind of formation, even if the other party is a king, I'm afraid it's just that, right?

"You don't know? Aren't you from Port Royal? ”

Hearing the chatter of these people next to him, a local employee of Port Royal couldn't help but be curious.

After all, the news that little Anne made a big fuss about the execution ground, and the fact that she directly defeated the defenders and occupied Port Royal had already spread here.

In Port Royal, I don't think there's anyone you don't know, right? And now, these people around them, they don't even know about it? That's certainly not a local!

"Of course not! We are sailors who come with merchant ships! Big brother, you know? But tell us about it? ”

An untruthful crew member approached and flatteringly handed over a flask.

"Huh? That...... Let's talk about it! Anyway, I can't do it now! ”

Seeing that it was beneficial, the hired man quickly laid down the sack on his shoulder, sat down on top of a pile of cargo boxes, and began to speak eloquently to a few sailors.

"Tsk, let me tell you, what a little girl, she's amazing! It all started three months ago! I want to ...... in the first place."

……

"Wow! Look! A lot of gold and silver treasures!! ”

The witches' convoy had only been gone for a while, and a large number of soldiers were rushing towards this dock, and they were carrying more than a dozen wagons?

Then, under the shocked gaze of countless people, countless gold and silver treasures were slowly loaded and unloaded from a warship by the sailors, and the carts were soon filled with these carriages.

There were even a number of boxes of gold coins that rolled down from the carriage, and the cartloads of gold, silver, jewelry, and gold coins that rolled all over the ground almost blinded the eyes of the onlookers around them.

One by one, they began to stir up, if it weren't for the fact that there were still a lot of witches and soldiers here to deter them, I'm afraid that someone would have taken the lead in robbing them regardless of it, right?

The most incredible thing for the onlookers was that there were dozens of large and small carriages, and they had to make several trips back and forth to barely pull all the gold and silver treasures from the three ships.

What kind of treasure did they find? Or did they rob a country's treasury? Otherwise, how could there be so much money?

Once again, the onlookers began to talk loudly, eager to go up and grab a handful.

"These witches are really rich! It seems that we can make a lot of gold from them, don't you think? Old man? ”

Captain Drunkard still had a bottle in his hand, which he had now emptied, and it was Billy Sr.'s twenty-year-old treasure.

"Come on, get out of here, don't get in my boat any more! Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do, I warn you: one more step into my captain's quarters, and I'll be done with you! ”

Old Billy roared and shoved, he was going to get this old bastard off the ship completely, and if he was here, the treasures of his wine cabinet would be ruined sooner or later!

"You've disappointed me so much! As for picking the door so much? ”

There is really no way to be driven away, the old drunkard is going to retreat, anyway, he has just drunk two bottles and earned it!

"Wait, don't push ...... What is that? Oh! My God! ”

The old drunkard suddenly screamed, and he threw the empty bottle onto the deck.

"What emperor? The witches here don't believe in any God! Hurry up and get me down! This ......"

Old Billy continued to push his old friend, and when he subconsciously turned his head to look over, he was too shocked to chase the old bastard away.

The people of Port Royal saw something that shocked them again today.

In addition to the gold, silver and jewels that pulled more than a hundred freight wagons, those witches, they even dragged back a huge octopus?

I watched as the soldiers were shouting trumpets, driving hundreds of coolies, and with the joint efforts of winches and manpower, they pulled two thick cables in unison and slowly dragged a huge octopus from the sea to the shallows.

The body of that octopus is as tall as the mast of a sailboat? And the tentacles, there are enough three adult men to hug them?

People could only stare blankly at the huge monsters in front of them, they never expected that these witches would be so fierce, even the legendary Norwegian sea monsters, were captured by them?

So, is there anything else above the sea that can stop them?

"Sister Mary...... What should we do with this big octopus? ”

Coria Beaufort looked at the big octopus in front of her, and she only felt that her legs and stomach were shaking.

If she hadn't known that it was actually dead, I'm afraid she would have run away by now, right? A huge monster of this size, even if it dies, it can give people a huge psychological pressure!

"I don't know ...... either"

Mary also shook her head blankly, she was also a little embarrassed.

How does she know how to deal with this kind of thing? Their sister Charlotte didn't explain much before leaving, did she want her to go back for advice?

"Excuse me, two priests, is there anything that your subordinates can help with?"

After directing the coolies to finally drag the big octopus to the shallows, Charlie Herbert, who saw the two witches in trouble, came over with great interest.

"Oh! It's you! That's great! In this way, now this big octopus will be handed over to you to deal with, you can watch it! ”

Coria and Mary, who didn't know what to do, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Charlie coming, and they couldn't wait to finish the task before quickly getting on the horse and leaving.

"Yes, my lord, I'll be happy to serve you!"

Charlie watched the two girls leave, and then turned and walked over to the big octopus.

He pondered for a while, and then raised his leg and kicked the tentacles of the big octopus, these tentacles have begun to become a little stiff now, if they are not dealt with sooner, in this hot climate, once they rot, it will be a big trouble!

If you don't handle it well, it's a disaster!

He could imagine now that if he let it go here, within a few days, the rotting octopus carcass, the disgusting smell, would fill the entire Port Royal radius for at least a few miles!

"Hurry up, you find some people, cut off the best tentacles, and send them to the barracks, the Witch Academy, and the Governor's Mansion in batches! Then, you can take as much as you can, and let the citizens take the rest as they please! We have to take care of it before it gets dark! ”

Charlie thought about it for a while, and finally came up with a more reliable method.

After all, this octopus is so big, it will definitely not be exhausted by the army and municipal officials alone! Moreover, it is also very difficult to preserve, so you can simply give it to the citizens to enjoy it at will, and save yourself from worrying about it!

"Head, are you really just letting the citizens take it? Isn't that good? ”

One of his subordinates asked, seemingly uncertain, a little pity, he felt.

"If you can eat it all by yourself, or if there's some way to process it, then it's yours!"

Charlie glanced at the other party dissatisfied, how can this fool be so stupid? This thing will deteriorate and rot after a day or two, what can he do?

"Huh? No, no, no! Then I'll do it right now, as you said! ”

Today is the most comfortable and delicious day for the citizens of Port Royal, not only to increase their knowledge, but also to have an extraordinarily rich dinner that night!

Because, almost every household received a large portion of octopus meat from the port! That's a dozen pounds! It is said that this octopus was caught by the witches from the sea when they returned home, and if they couldn't handle it, they gave it to all the citizens of Port Royal for free!

So, for the first time, the townspeople, who had benefited from it, began to sing praises to the witches.

Since the witches took over the area, more merchant ships have come and gone, their income has increased, and life has improved day by day.

And now, there is even free octopus meat to receive, such a big octopus, they are definitely the first time in the world to eat it!

“……”

Norrington did not leave the docks with the witch's procession after disembarking, but paced alone to the military district of the harbor, where he watched in amazement as the warships of the former Caribbean Fleet began to start.

"Your Excellency, Brigadier General!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind Norrington, and a horseman who had hidden himself behind his armor rode up behind him.

"I'm not a brigadier for a long time, you...... You are? ”

Norrington heard the man behind him shouting to him, and turned around in confusion.

Then, he only saw that the person who came was dressed in iron armor, and he was turning over from a horse that was also wearing armor, which made him a little puzzled, and he didn't know who this knight in armor was.

"It's me, Brigadier General!"

After dismounting, the knight quickly removed the iron helmet from his head, allowing Norrington to recognize him.

"Groves? You're ......."

It turned out to be his previous adjutant, and Norrington saw the other party's current appearance, and he also had a faint guess in his heart.

"Your Excellency, Brigadier General! I am now the leader of the First Regiment of the Guardian Knights under the command of the Cult of the Flame God! At present, temporarily in charge of five hundred knights! ”

Groves still saluted Norrington, after all, he had been his direct officer.

"You've decided?"

Norrington looked at the other and nodded, which was also expected by him.

After all, people go to high places, water flows to low places, and these low-level officers and soldiers, taking refuge in the current witch power, is obviously a better way out for them, and he is not too likely to blame him.

"Yes, Brigadier General!"

Groves looked at Norrington, and stopped talking, as if he had something to say, but didn't know how to speak.

"Huh! Are you trying to persuade me? ”

Looking at his subordinates like this, Norrington certainly knew what he wanted to do, and couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

"Your Excellency, it's time to make a decision! With your previous status, identity, and ability! As long as you join us, the future Flame Empire will definitely have a place for you! ”

Since joining the witches' forces, Groves has a good understanding of the witches' terrifying development and strength, and also has some estimates of the plans of the high priest of Charlotte.

Today, what he does is not directed by anyone, it is only his personal will.

Since joining the witches' forces, Groves has gained enough knowledge of their abilities, coupled with the fact that the previous Caribbean Fleet was completely wiped out, he has decided to follow the witches to the dark!

In Groves' opinion, as long as there are witches and those extraordinary powers on his side, then all enemies will be vulnerable!

Therefore, when he saw that his old commander was alone in the military district, he quickly took the time to come over and become a lobbyist.

If you don't join in now, in the future, when the flame empire that the witches are still planning is fully developed, there will be no such good opportunity as now!

"Flame Empire?"

Norrington groaned for a moment, even he didn't expect that the hearts of these witches would be so big? They still want to build an empire?

If someone else said that, Norrington would definitely think that the other party was crazy! Then, throw two more ear scrapers at the other party?

But...... If it's one of these witches, I'm afraid it's really possible!

In these three months, having been in contact with three witches for so long, he has developed a sufficient understanding of the power of witches.

They are simply invincible in this world!

And with the army of witches, will the war still be lost? If the army can't defeat it, then the witch will be on it......

As long as there are enough people, it is not just a matter of time before they take over the entire New World?

According to the current development momentum of witches, Norrington conservatively estimates that in one to two years at most, as long as they don't die, at that time, the entire New World region will be bagged by their Flame God Sect, right?

"Okay, I already know, you go back first, I want to be quiet now......"

Thinking of this, Norrington finally made a decision in his heart.

Now, those who remain in front of him have no choice, and if he goes back to the British mainland, it will definitely be a dead end! And stay, no matter how bad it is, can you mix up with the founding general? Maybe...... Can you still mix a big nobleman or something? Say, the Founding Grand Duke?

But...... He still wanted to talk to Governor Swan and his own fiancée, Elizabeth, first, and he needed to ask for their opinions.

Until this time, Norrington didn't know that Weatherby Swan, the former governor of Port Royal, had been sold by his baby daughter, even if he wanted to go back to his homeland, he probably wouldn't dare to go back now, right?

Because, his daughter, Elizabeth, had joined the Witches' Cult of Flames without permission and began to learn their witchcraft, and now that she was one of the witches through and through, how could Weatherby Swan dare to go back?

Tomorrow the Caribbean volume will be over, too lazy to score chapters, and now go directly to the 10,000-word chapter
