Chapter 10 Set sail
On the 3 pirate ships, there are actually hundreds of thousands of gold coins!
Of course, these hundreds of thousands of gold coins also belong to the entire Howling Wind Pirate Group, and there are thousands of pirates to divide them equally, so each pirate will receive a dozen gold coins at most, and the big head will naturally be handed over to the head of the Howling Wind Regiment.
Of course, now these hundreds of thousands of gold coins have naturally become the capture of Ye Feng, and with such a huge amount of gold coins, he can recruit hundreds of pirates, after all, as contractors, they don't have to think about the next few months or even years, just think about the current few months.
Therefore, it is natural that you can recruit a large number of pirates at a large price, but it is impossible to do this like other pirate groups, after all, if you don't have the money to distribute to your subordinates at that time, then where will there be subordinates willing to give you their lives?
Even a direct rebellion is quite possible.
It is worth mentioning that only a small part of the hundreds of thousands of gold coins were obtained by these pirates by robbing other merchant ships and pirates, and most of them were actually profits obtained through smuggling.
In the interception and killing operation of the Hundred Beast Pirates, except for a few die-hard members led by the Viking Berserker Huska who resisted stubbornly and died, the other members were sent to the navy by the Howling Pirate King.
As for the fate of these surrendered pirates, the Howling Wind Pirate King naturally didn't care about it at all.
And because of this incident, he successfully curried favor with the queen and got on the line with the navy, so he could enter the navy's port without being destroyed, of course, on the surface, their pirate identities were naturally disguised as merchants from Singapore.
Subsequently, the Howling Pirates used this to carry out smuggling and trading activities from the naval port to the pirate port, because the only pirates who could safely enter and exit the naval port were the Howling Pirates and their family, and naturally they made a lot of money because of this.
For this reason, the other pirates were naturally very jealous, but once they entered the naval port, they were greeted by a large number of heavy coastal defense guns.
Because there is no need to consider the relationship of recoil on land, the caliber of shore defense guns is at least equivalent to the power of a twenty-pound gun, and the number is not comparable to that of a battleship.
And after successfully exterminating the subordinates of the Howling Wind Pirate Group, it is naturally impossible for Yefeng to continue to block the entrance and exit here, because he has to recruit pirates next, so he also led 5 captured pirate ships to slowly sail into the port of Turtle Island.
It's worth mentioning that this time there were no pirates coming to check at all.
After asking the chief mate to arrange for his subordinates to buy enough fresh water, gunpowder and other necessary materials, at this time, Ye Feng also held a recruitment meeting directly here in the port, one hundred gold coins for ordinary pirates, and 500 gold coins for elite pirates, if they have special abilities, it is appropriate.
In the face of such lucrative recruitment conditions, the idle pirates on Turtle Island also immediately went crazy, you know, even ordinary pirates who eat under the command of the Nine Great Pirate Kings have a dividend of less than a hundred gold coins a year.
As for the small pirate groups, it is even worse, because many pirates have sunk in the sea before they even make it for a year.
Soon, he was able to recruit 300 ordinary pirates and 40 elite pirates, for which he paid a third of the gold he captured.
Fortunately, the pirates who surrendered on those pirate ships, because they surrendered, do not need to be paid at the moment, after all, they can save their lives is already very good.
At this time, the number of pirates under the command of Nightfeng has also reached an astonishing 750 or so, and the 5 pirate ships are now finally at full capacity.
Then, he also asked them to clean up the battlefield and count the keys dropped by those dead pirate sailors, after all, no matter how small the grasshopper legs are, they are still meat, even if the keys burst out by these pirates are only white and gray, but when it adds up, it is also a considerable general point.
Since only the contractor will be able to see the reward key, this can only be left to them.
As for Ye Feng, he set foot on Turtle Island alone, because the layout of Turtle Island has not changed much from when he came before, and most of the buildings are still the same, so he is also familiar with the door of a bar.
It is worth mentioning that when he walked into the bar, he saw that the originally noisy bar also fell into a deathly silence in an instant, and these pirates looked at him with frightened eyes.
However, there are also many who look at Ye Feng with reverence, after all, for pirates who are accustomed to the law of the jungle, it is also their nature to worship the strong.
It is worth mentioning that some of the brave pirates actually saluted him with wine glasses, and for these pirates, he also smiled and drank the rum brought by the other party.
After seeing this scene, the other pirates were also relieved, and then the whole bar returned to its original liveliness, but a large area around him presented a quiet, empty and strange scene.
It is worth mentioning that soon an acquaintance actually came over.
Looking at the lame old pirate in front of him, Ye Feng also smiled and nodded, but this time, it was the other party who took the initiative to order a glass of expensive silver rum and gave it to Ye Feng and said, "I don't know what you command, my lord?" ”
Ye Feng chuckled and said, "There's a 5,000 gold reward that you can't accept?" ”
"5,000 gold?" Hearing this, the old pirate was also taken aback, and then hesitated and said, "I don't know what your lord is about this?" If it involves grudge killing, then it will be very difficult for us to do it, because our main business is still in intelligence information. ”
"Huh!" Ye Feng smiled and said, "I don't need you to kill, I just need you to help me pass on a piece of information." ”
Hearing that it was just a piece of information, the old pirate was also relieved, and then he also agreed very happily, after all, after seeing the strength of Ye Feng, it was too late for them to please each other now.
But then when he heard the specific thing from Ye Feng's mouth, he saw that the old pirate's face immediately wrinkled like a bitter melon, but in the end, after considering Ye Feng's strength, he finally chose to take on this task.
After letting the other party inform him after completing the task, he also left the bar directly, after all, the stinky smell in the bar was too tormenting his olfactory nerves.
Then, after filling the entire team's warehouse with water and food, Night Feng also led five pirate ships to sail in the direction of Singapore.
As for his Sea Dragon battleship, he didn't arrange for a pirate to come up, after all, he didn't want to stay with those stinky pirate sailors all day long, and anyway, the Sea Dragon battleship didn't need the assistance of sailors to sail anyway.
It is worth mentioning that because the captured 5 pirate ships are all full, plus various supplies and artillery and other weapons, even in a tailwind state, they can only run at a speed of ten knots at most.
Therefore, at this time, Ye Feng can only control the Sea Dragon to maintain the speed of the voyage at this speed, otherwise, it will not be long before the gap between him and these 5 pirate ships will widen.
At the current speed, it would take at least 5 days to reach Singapore, and of course, if he left these pirates behind and acted alone, then with the Sea Dragon's astonishing speed, it would only take 2 days at most to reach it.
But of course he wouldn't do that.
It is worth mentioning that the next two days have been calm, neither the storm dancing wildly, nor the appearance of man-eating ship-destroying sea monsters, and even the other ships have not been seen.
But fortunately, for most pirates, such a peaceful sea life has long been accustomed to, after all, this is also the process of most of the time at sea, like the exciting and joyful sea life inside, which is just existing and fantasy.
As for the Night Blade, they are even busier than the pirates, and the trivial tasks such as training skills alone can kill most of their time.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the four of them, the Sea Dragon now has 32 skeleton warriors, of which 16 are composed of low-strength skeleton soldiers, and the other 16 are composed of skeleton shield guards and skeleton squad leaders, the latter 16 are summoned by pirate corpses harvested in previous battles.
Anyway, these skeleton warriors are definitely going to be summoned in the end, so instead of waiting until the battle starts and wasting a lot of time and MP to summon them, it is better to take advantage of the free time of these few days to summon them, at least he doesn't have to spend food to restore MP for this.
Because in two days, just relying on his own blue recovery speed is enough to recover all the MP value consumed.
However, in this way, the Sea Dragon is truly a skeleton warship, in addition to the battleship itself is made of dragon bones, its crew is also composed of skeleton warriors.
And just when Nightfeng was bored with the proficiency of their training skills, the lookout on a pirate ship next to them suddenly sounded the alarm, and when they ran to the deck and took out their monoculars, they found that a battleship suddenly appeared on the horizon in front of them.
According to the specifications of its battleship, it can be judged that this should be a Tier III battleship.
And it is worth mentioning that this Tier III battleship also has a pirate flag with a white skeleton on a black background floating on its mast, and it is also a pirate ship!
You must know that most of the pirates rely on capture or smuggling of their warships, so it is very difficult for them to obtain top-level warships, unlike the navy supported by national resources, Class I warships can be replenished like dumplings.
Therefore, among the pirates, even among the forces of the Nine Pirate Kings, Class I warships are extremely rare, so let alone those small and medium-sized pirate groups.
Therefore, for the vast majority of small and medium-sized pirates, Tier III battleships can already be called the main battleship.
It is worth mentioning that the other party only has this Class III battleship, but after seeing the entire 6 (counting the Sea Dragon) battleships on Yefeng's side, among which even the top Class I battleship has one, they did not flee quickly, but approached without fear.
When the opponent's battleship approached a hundred meters, a burst of singing suddenly sounded in the ears of the night front.
According to his pirate men, the song was the pirate song that circulated among pirates, and was a way for pirates to distinguish other pirate navies when they sailed at night.
It is worth mentioning that although the lyrics of the pirate songs are the same, each pirate group has a different tone.
Then, I saw that the first mate also looked a little nervous and ran to the deck of the Sea Dragon and said, "My lord! According to the information from the other side, they are the subordinates of the Pacific Pirate King, Lady Qing. ”
"And they are just scouts of Lady Qing's fleet, and there is a large army led by Lady Qing behind them!"
"Huh? The Pirate King of the Pacific - Lady Qing? When Nightfeng heard this, there was a hint of surprise on his face, but this surprise was quickly replaced by joy.
"Haha! This is really unintentional! ”
"I originally wanted to deal with the Howling Wind Pirate King first, but I didn't expect that now it was this Qing lady who sent it to the door first, no matter what, I have won this good start!"
Speaking of this, I saw Ye Feng suddenly turn his head to stare at the first mate and said: "You go and tell your subordinates that when that Tier III pirate ship approaches, you will control the opponent's warship by jumping gang, as for the large army of Lady Qing behind, you don't have to worry, if necessary, then I will directly destroy them all." ”
"But ......!" When he said this, he saw that Ye Feng's eyes also instantly became cold and said: "But what you have to know is that once I make a move, then most of the enemy's warships will only be sunken in the sea, and this means that I will not be able to get more resources." ”
"And that makes me very angry, you know?"
"Yes! My lord! This first mate is naturally not a stupid person, and he is also very aware of the hidden meaning of Ye Feng's words, so he hurriedly responded loudly: "I will definitely try my best not to let the adults have a chance to make a move, and capture as many warships and sailors as possible for the adults!" ”
"Excellent! Then you go ahead, professional battles still have to be done by professional personnel, and I think you should be more familiar with naval battles than I am. ”
Then, the first mate also hurried back to his battleship, and then handed over the battle plan to his men, and under his arrangement, soon the pirate song also sounded from their pirate ship, and of course, its melody was also from the Howling Wind Pirates.
