Chapter 223: Settle in
Whoop -
"What? You mean that Huggins, the 'octopus ghost', is still brewing another massacre?!" Hearing William's words, Evan's agitation also affected the white seagull, and he suddenly spread his wings in his chair, knocking over the inkwell on the table.
Syllable!
A large ink stain on a wooden floor?
"No, no, no, I didn't say he was going to commit another massacre.
I'm just saying that his target isn't just Moby Dick Harbor, and that he won't stop there, there must be other conspiracies hidden in the shadows. ”
Seeing the violent reaction of the "White Seagull", William didn't care about feeling sorry for his floor, for fear that Ai Wen would have a misunderstanding, and hurriedly explained:
"In the months leading up to the massacre, Huggins sent several people to the vicinity of the Leiden Valley to gather information on everything from commerce to hydrological data, defense deployments, local customs, major festivals, and so on.
Even though more than 200 pirate ships were mobilized and tens of thousands of pirates went to 'Moby Dick Harbor', none of the elite pirates under his command were called back.
So I knew there must be a conspiracy in it!
Although the pirate king is very cautious, and even the specific executors of the intelligence gathering work do not know what their real goal is, their previous actions cannot be concealed from my insiders. ”
"Is there another purpose?" Evan silently chewed on William's information, in fact, countries had already suspected the real purpose of the "octopus ghost" Huggins to carry out the massacre.
Because on the face of it, this massacre was simply the ultimate thankless!
Is it possible to be short of money as the Pirate King of the Black Sea, or is it a lack of money that is extremely risky?
He was already a powerful mortal at the peak of the Third Order, and he was crowned the king of pirates in the Black Sea, and he was already a household name.
On the contrary, it was the brutal looting method of "massacre" that made the "Kingdom Joint Investigation Team" who went to Moby Whale Harbor have some bad associations.
This method is not like a simple plunder, but more like the handiwork of some cult of evil gods that target the souls and lives of the living!
This has aroused strong vigilance in all countries.
Pirates who are simply active in the Black Zone have a reason to survive to some extent, although the "Tulip Alliance" has a policy of killing pirates because of the relationship between the church.
However, the attitude of many other forces is not all like this, and even many of them regard these hyenas at sea as cash cows for wealth, forming a bloody black industrial chain to deliver endless benefits to their own countries.
But the attitude of all human nations towards the cult of evil gods is very consistent.
Because they not only fail to create wealth for those in power, but also always watch over the lives and souls of the people, eroding the foundation of a country, and are the existence of the governments of various countries and the Orthodox Church!
The principle is to extinguish the slightest flame and never let one go!
Therefore, after faintly violating the bottom line of various countries, although there is no evidence that "Octopus Ghost" Huggins has joined the command of a certain evil god, he himself has entered the first sequence of the key monitoring lists of various countries.
Even though many pirates dispersed the fire for him, a church-led hunt was still on the agenda.
In this case, Huggins wants to save his life unless... In a short period of time, he will be able to gain the power to no longer be afraid of the protection of the titles of various countries.
That is—fourth-order mortals!
"The Leiden River is the largest outflow river of the Taylor Kingdom in the Tulip Alliance, and the Leiden River Valley, as a region with abundant freshwater resources and fertile land, is dotted with many large cities along it.
Including the commercial and artistic town "Bridge City" and "City of Light" water city Niske located at the mouth of the sea, the "City of Wealth" Golden Lion City where major chambers of commerce gather, and Brandenburg, the political capital of Salt Lake County, there are more small cities, and there are at least 20 large and small cities along the Leiden River.
So just a 'Leyden Valley' name, I can't tell what Huggins wants to do next!"
Because of the experience of Moby Dick Harbor, Aven's first thought when he heard the name "Leiden Valley" was that he had another attempt at a certain one.
After thinking about it for a while, he had no clue, and Evan could only suppress this matter for the time being.
Obviously, with the meticulous style of the "Pirate King", it is almost impossible to get further information even if there is an inner ghost before the operation actually begins.
But the intelligence loses its accuracy, and the value will be greatly discounted. So Evan said, "It's not enough!"
William also knows that a single one can only be regarded as chasing the wind and shadows, and the weight of subjective speculation is a bit too light, maybe the pirate king is talking about the cards, just to determine which seafood restaurant has the best craftsmanship, and let his men go to the front station?
It's not entirely impossible.
However, his family was not very wealthy, and he had to repair the damage suffered by the "Iron Bone" in the previous pursuit battle, and even some savings had to be emptied.
However, saving his life is the most important thing, and now William can only smile bitterly and break the jar:
"Your Excellency, you have also seen that now apart from the 'pirate ship' under our feet, the most valuable thing is my head.
Otherwise, I have three gold coins of the Ancient Inca Empire here, how about I sell your life for one gold coin?"
As he spoke, he took out three very exquisitely shaped ancient gold coins from his pocket and put them on the table.
The experience of serving in the Navy told him that the more official the person, the faster he turned his face faster than turning the book, and if he could not satisfy the other party, maybe the scorching shell of the 24-pound gun would tear him apart with the "Iron Bone" in the next second.
Staring –
Standing on the back of the chair, the white seagull tilted his head and stared straight at William for half a minute, until the corners of his forehead were slightly sweating, and Evan nodded lightly in agreement.
Seeing that he really doesn't look like he still has oil and water, he can be regarded as pushing the boat and letting him go.
In fact, this guy was purely scaring himself, and Aven was not prepared to do anything to him, after all, there were too few people like him on the sea.
Let's spare him for now.
"Well, Captain William, remember what you said. We'll see you again!hahaha..."
The white seagull grabbed the three exquisite ancient gold coins on the table with his beak, flapped his wings and flew out of the porthole.
William breathed a sigh of relief and his face stiffened slightly, isn't this what he said when he finally left when he met for the first time?
Don't lose at all, what a grudge guy!
As a matter of fact.
Aven wanted him to make a trip to the Pirate City to deliver a letter to his sister informing her of his current situation. Although it will take a little trouble to be a big pirate of William, it should be no problem to enter the "Shipwreck Bay".
However, Evan thought about it and felt that there was no need to expose his relationship with Anita to this guy at all, this matter was not urgent, and it was better to find a way to get in touch with his sister later.
Subsequently.
The navy who was still on the "Tomb of Dry Bones" saw that the "Iron Bone", which was still stationed not far away, turned its bow and drew a perfect arc to cut into the downwind, and the sails were full and did not return to the ground.... Ran away.
"This is an escape, right?"
The officers looked at each other, but turned to look at His Excellency the Captain, who was studying the new toy with great interest, and they were very tacitly silent that neither of them spoke.
Run away, just run away, anyway, it's not the goal of this operation, and it won't be counted as meritorious, so don't disturb the interest of His Excellency the Captain for his sake.
In fact, if it weren't for this special mission to hunt down the designated pirates, the rewards would have been added to each other. The most annoying and cost-effective thing for the navy is to fight pirates, because it is dangerous and there is no oil and water.
It is better to capture an enemy merchant ship than to have that time, and if you are lucky, one is enough to eat for a year.
As a result, under the unanimous tacit understanding of the "Conch", even if the "Iron Bone" was not lightly damaged, it still successfully escaped from the sight of the navy.
Well, everybody's happy.
The other side.
After carefully observing the battleship, Evan was quite satisfied with it, and the years of its own service should not be very long, although it was poorly maintained when it was in Bassem's hands, but it was in good condition.
However, his keen sense of smell smelled the stench of rotting corpses in the cabin, and Evan felt sick to himself.
"First mate, take someone to clean up this battleship first! Rush a few more times! In the future, this battleship will be our 'New Conch'!"
"Yes!Your Excellency!"
The crew should have shouted in unison, like thunder.
Hearing Aiwen's order, everyone from the officer to the ordinary crew was like being beaten with chicken blood. How long has it been? A group of people have jumped from the unattended sixth-tier ship to the real fourth-tier battleship.
Isn't it just cleaning up the cabin with the smell of corpses?
Meaningless, none of you should rob me!
Having picked up tools from the "Conch", the crew had already started cleaning up in full swing under the command of the officers. Remove the sand, grave soil, human wreckage, and dry vines from the ship, and go into the lower cabin to wash away the remnants little by little...
The ship's "garbage" was thrown into the sea, attracting a large number of sharks chasing blood, followed by a feast for predators.
