Port Royal on the island of Jamaica, which until three months ago was an important port city belonging to the British Empire, was the most dazzling pearl of the British Empire in the Caribbean, and a glorious proof of the victory of the British over the Spaniards and the beginning of their maritime supremacy from many sides!

But now all of this is a thing of the past!

Because here in Port Royal, since three months ago, it has ceased to belong to the British! Now, it is the capital city of a new witch power called the Cult of the Flame God.

So far, there is no one in the entire Caribbean who does not know about the Flame God and the Witches, and whether it is in the New World or in Europe, there are gradually people who are talking about the pagans who have taken over the cities, the five fireball cultists with five moving flame patterns on their banners.

It is said that the Church has worked hard to connect the nations of Europe with the intention of organizing a new crusade at sea? Teach the witches with a huge fleet and military force that the dignity of the church is not to be offended?

It's just that the crusade to the west by sea or something, it may be no fun for a year and a half.

After all, the world is not so efficient, and the preparations for large-scale military operations are not so simple to complete, and the strifes between nations caused by the plundering of colonies cannot be straightened out and united by the Church in a short time.

So, they decided to let the witches of the Caribbean Fleet, which had been entrenched in Port Royal and eliminated the United Kingdom, continue to haunt for a while......

Now, Port Royal is finally thriving again.

In the harbor, you can see a wide variety of merchant ships of different national styles and flags, docked inside and out. The employees on the docks are also in full swing loading and unloading all kinds of goods and supplies. However, they are now more unloaded, with very few goods loaded, at most some necessary supplies.

Since the news of the high bounty missions issued by the witches who occupied Port Royal spread throughout the Caribbean, all kinds of merchants gathered from all over the world like sharks that smelled fish, and directly crowded the Port Royal port office that specializes in bounty missions.

Here at the port office, there is a noisy gathering of merchants and shipowners from all over the world, whether French, Spanish, Dutch or even British! Even, there are a few pirate bosses on the list?

In this year, the merchants who live on the sea, whether you are British or occupied by witches, as long as you have money to make and a lot of gold to take, they can let them work for you!

As long as the benefits are tempting enough, such as encountering a fat sheep with a low degree of armament at sea, it can make a self-proclaimed upright businessman turn into a pirate in minutes! What's more, is this a legitimate transportation job now?

In short, in a word, as long as there is enough money, these people dare to do anything! Now it's just a matter of collecting the witches' bounty and helping them buy a few ships of cargo or something, not to mention that.

As for working for witches for fear of retaliation from the British?

It's even funnier, as long as you are not blind, you can see the rows of huge and hideous warships parked on the ground in the military district of Port Royal!

It is said that those warships were captured directly by the witches after the Caribbean Fleet was wiped out. They've been moored in the military zone of the port for almost a month, right?

There is gossip that the witches are now having a headache with what to do with these ships! You know, these witches, they don't have enough captains and sailors to pilot them.

So, in this situation, before the British find out the truth of the facts and the reality of the witch, where will they dare to take revenge?

Not to mention the British, now, here in the Caribbean, even the Spanish, French or Dutch warships, when they pass through Port Royal, they deliberately avoid and walk in a large circle, for fear of accidentally provoking a terrible witch and thus causing unnecessary trouble.

Since the witches took over the area, Port Royal has become more and more prosperous, and the witches and the merchant shipowners have formed a mutually beneficial situation: the witches rely on the merchants for all kinds of much-needed supplies, and the merchants also earn a huge amount of gold from the witches, and the citizens of Port Royal have earned more money from the seafarers and sailors who have never dared to imagine before.

After all, merchant ships always have to load and unload cargo after they arrive at the port, and they often stop for several days, and those crew and sailors always have to eat, drink and have fun, right? After unloading the cargo, few merchant ships are willing to leave empty, so they always have to bring some souvenirs, right? This inadvertently boosted the economy of Port Royal and made it prosperous.

If, in terms of the flow of merchant ships alone, it is now at least several times more than when the British occupied it!

It can be seen from the port wharf, because now there are more than 20 new simple wooden wharves for small and medium-sized sailing ships to unload and dock!

However, even in such a situation, the port of Port Royal was still unusually crowded, and many ships had no choice but to anchor directly outside the docks, relying on those small boats, constantly loading and unloading goods back and forth.

"Hey! You okay? Old Billy? What assignments have you taken on lately? ”

A bearded old man, dressed as a captain with a drunken smell, walked over with open hands, and gave another old captain who was supervising the sailors hoisting supplies on the dock trestle.

The boats of the two of them were docked on both sides of the largest and best stone pier at this time. That's because the two of them's ships happen to be giant merchant ships, and they have recently helped the witches transport a lot of supplies, so they are naturally qualified to use this largest and best unloading dock.

"It's you! Old drunkard? Tsk, the smell of wine on your body is still so rushing! ”

After the two hugged warmly, they patted each other on the back before parting, and then old Billy began to follow this old friend in large numbers.

"My task is still the same as before, luxury building materials, and by the way, recruit a group of workers who can sculpt. What about you? What's your assignment again? ”

They all knew that the witches were planning to build a majestic palace on a location outside the city, so almost all of the recent transportation tasks had to do with it.

"Me? Ha ha! I've taken on a whole shipload of lacquer! ”

The drunkard captain wiped the dregs of wine from his beard and gestured with his hands outstretched.

"Lacquer? It's not easy to get this thing......"

Old Billy frowned, where the hell could he get the lacquer, of course he knew, he had seen this task before.

Although the reward for this task is very high, it is just that he dislikes that it is too long, and it is too time-consuming to make a round trip, and it is not too cost-effective? Therefore, after several deliberations, in order to be able to take on more tasks and make more trips, he gritted his teeth and ruthlessly gave up this task, and took over the task of purchasing luxury and precious building materials instead.

"Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to get, after all, the origin is too far away! But well...... I recently had a friend who happened to know where to find such a batch of goods, and the price was only 60% of the usual price! So, hehe, you know. ”

The old drunkard smiled smugly at old Billy, squeezed his eyes, and gave the other a look that could be understood by each other, and as he spoke, his big broad lips spewed out a foul smell of wine.

"Huh...... I understand, I understand! ”

Old Billy looked at this old friend angrily and patted the other party on the shoulder.

This bastard must have bought such a batch of lacquer from some pirate, right? It's really cheap, this old bastard, to come across such a cheap thing in this stall!

You know, when pirates sell goods, usually, only six to eighty percent of the normal price, or sometimes less! In this way, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of benefits the drunkard in front of him can earn after this trip?

"Alright, alright! Let's not talk about these annoying things! Now I'm going to invite you to drink! I'm in for a treat! Drink as you want! What do you think? ”

This old drunkard, who has always been picky, has made another windfall, and he is rarely arrogant. So it seems that he must have made a lot of money recently?

"Drinking......"

Old Billy frowned and thought about it, mentally estimating how long it would take for his merchant ship to unload and load supplies.

Because, having learned a lesson, he knows that once he drinks with this old drunkard who has no alcohol, he will have to have a hangover for a day or two! When the time comes, it will be very bad if you miss the best date to sail, after all, the current time is equivalent to shining gold coins!

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way! ”

As old Billy was weighing whether to accept the old drunkard's invitation, a group of cavalrymen in red cloaks rushed directly towards the stone dock where they stood.

And behind these cavalrymen, there were hundreds of ordinary silver-armored soldiers armed with muskets. The foot soldiers were not full armor like cavalrymen, but only silver breastplates with flame patterns, a silver open helmet, a shield behind them, and a short sword pinned to their waists.

In the past three months, especially after the previous total annihilation of the Caribbean Fleet, the strength of the witches has once again made great progress!

More and more citizens began to believe that the witches had enough power to continue to thrive in the Jamaican Islands, so more and more chose to join the Cult of the Fire God.

Therefore, in just three months, Charlotte's subordinates already have more than 100 battle witches, plus more than 1,000 knights of the Knights of the Cathar Order, and the outside world also calls them Flame Knights.

Then, there were nearly 2,000 ordinary soldiers, and these ordinary soldiers were also called flame soldiers by the citizens. They were armed with short swords with simple enchanted flames, and carried five flame-patterned iron shields on their backs, plus a musket, and some ammunition around their waists.

Most of these ordinary soldiers were transferred by the British soldiers after being captured, anyway, the witches have captured nearly 10,000 captives before and after, and among them, the most important thing is those wall grass who only sell their lives for money! They often only need to adapt and change their outfits slightly, and they quickly become people under the command of the Flame God Cult!

And those who refused to do so are still working as coolies on construction sites outside the city! Before no one comes to redeem them, I'm afraid they can only continue to work, where are these two or five boys who have taken refuge in witches to live comfortably?

"Who do these two merchant ships belong to? Now, get out of the way! This place was temporarily requisitioned! ”

Mary Chaska, a little rusty, reined in her steed, and came to a dangerous halt in front of old Billy and the old drunkard.

It has only been less than three months since she started practicing horseback riding, and it is quite good to be able to have this level and not knock the two of them into the sea!

"Sir, sir? These two ships are ours, excuse me, is there something going on? Why requisition the docks? ”

This kind of thing happened suddenly, which caught the two of them off guard.

Because both of their ships have just begun to unload, and if they have to change the dock, they will waste at least a whole day.

"Don't ask! Now, move your ship to the dock over there! ”

Mary took off her helmet and glared at both of them fiercely.

Then, holding her red helmet in one hand, she pointed to a temporary wooden pier in the distance, which was still empty. Now that the matter is a bit urgent, she doesn't want to waste time here with these two ship owners, otherwise, Sister Charlotte will definitely punish herself!

"Yes, yes! Let's go right away! Let's go now! ”

After seeing the witch on the horse angry, the two quickly bowed their heads.

Then they began to turn to their sailors, and untied the cables tied to the dock, ready to move their ships to the low, makeshift dock in the distance.

"Who's in charge here? Hurry up and come out! ”

After sending the two old captains away, Mary began to look around anxiously and shouted questions.

This time the time was short, the task was daunting, and she never seemed to have any similar experience, so she couldn't help but be nervous!

She'd just been ordered to take care of everything on the docks before dusk came.

After that, more people will rush to the docks, and today's mission is very important to their witches and the Flame God Cult, and she can't afford to make the slightest mistake here!

"Honorable Priest Mary, I am Charlie, the chief of the port here, may I ask you, what can I serve you?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man with the appearance of Sven hurriedly walked out of the crowd of onlookers, and gracefully took off his hat to Mary Chaska, who was on the horse.

Of course, he recognized Mary and the other party's attire, the red armor and the golden flame cloak, which were the special armor and cloak for the goddess sacrifice in the Flame God Cult! It is said that in the entire Flame God Sect, there are only four at present? So, he couldn't be mistaken.

He Charlie was originally a down-and-out little nobleman, and later, relying on the skin of a nobleman, he barely mixed a small steward at Port Royal here, and his life was worry-free. However, if you want to get rich or get promoted, there is definitely no hope.

However, after the witches took over Port Royal, he saw the opportunity and immediately became one of the first believers to join the Flame God Cult!

Then, as a matter of course, by virtue of his experience and learning, he obtained the position of the Port Officer, who managed the whole port and all the civilian wharves. As a result, not only did his salary double, but even his gray income made him rich quickly.

So, now in terms of the level of support and loyalty to the Cult of the Flame God, perhaps, in the entire Port Royal Sect, he belongs to one of the highest groups!

"Oh? It's you...... That's it! Now, I want you to clear all the debris from this pier to the city gate before dusk! Moreover, no one is allowed to approach within fifty meters on both sides of this road! These soldiers behind me, they will assist you, is there any problem? ”

Of course, Mary knew this Charlie Herbert, who was one of the earliest believers of the Flame God Cult, and now, the other party also has a lot of prestige in the God Cult.

It is said that he is also very strong in management and loyal to the Cult, but unfortunately, he is a man, and he is too old to enter the Witch Academy to study magic, nor can he enter the army of the Cult of God to mix qualifications, perhaps, he will be a missionary at most in the future? Or is it a governor in one place?

Anyway, Mary also knew that Sister Charlotte would definitely not be satisfied with occupying a Port Royal, but she had seen that Sister Charlotte had drawn a big red circle throughout the New World, and when the time came, this Charlie would definitely be useful.

"As you wish, Honorable Priest! Soon, I'll take care of everything. ”

Charlie saluted again and turned to leave, intending to gather his men and quickly assign the task.

This kind of thing is too easy and simple for him, and before dusk, he will definitely be able to exceed the task!

The action of the Divine Cult was very abnormal, and although he had a vague trace of speculation in his heart, he did not ask too much.

He has been in the officialdom for many years, so he will not be stupid enough to ask his boss why he does things, for him, it is the right thing to do things, so as to leave a good impression that he can do things and can do things!

Moreover, he was very confident in the development of the Flame God Cult! Now, the speed of the development of the strength of the Divine Sect also makes him very satisfied, and in addition, his current status in the Divine Sect is not low, so he is very looking forward to his future achievements!

Although he didn't know the phrase that power came out of the barrel of a gun, he also understood that if the Flame God Cult continued to develop steadily like this, with the extraordinary power of the witches, with their fanatical faith and magic, everything in this world would be unstoppable!

The current Charlie Herbert has long been disdainful of his original status as a British minor nobleman!

What he wanted, those who were higher, more noble! You know, this new continent is very big, and this world is even bigger!
