Chapter 376: Golden Post Road

"What??Looting the Golden Post Road of Syrius?!"

When Milan let out this exclamation.

The group consisted of six people, including Aven, Milan, Gary, William "The Iron Bone", and two Arawak guides, Zinaro and Parka.

In addition, there are twenty-four former excellent navy members of the Stormhorn, fifty elite pirates from the Iron Bone, and twenty temporarily recruited Arawak warriors.

A raiding team of 100 men, armed with the best equipment transferred from Fort Dilburn, had successfully landed on the Isthmus of Balboa across the entire "Golden Sea" on a nondescript smuggling merchant ship.

And this is also the hinterland of the Kingdom of Cyrius in the New World!

Twenty kilometers deep into this endless rainforest, it was almost impossible to leak the news again, and Ai Wen informed his men of the destination and combat objectives of this time.

It's about doing something that no one has done before, or that many people want to do but never have the courage to do.

Go straight into the hinterland of Sylius and loot the gold, silver, and precious stones that have been transported from the west coast of the mainland before they have time to board the ship!

It is no wonder that except for the Arawaks, who have a blood feud with Sylius, everyone is moved.

"Uh, hehehe"

In the end, the "iron bone" William, who did not escape the fate of selling himself, had to flee when he faced Huggins, and at this time he faced the regular army of Cyrius

He only felt as if he was on a thief ship, and the kind he couldn't get off again. If you follow Ai Wen to finish this vote, you will really have to hold this thigh firmly in the future.

William, who is well versed in the wisdom of self-preservation, is still thinking about the long term.

But including the elite pirates he brought, the warriors who had nothing and could only lick blood from the knife edge were boiling with blood one by one.

"Really, sir?"

"I'm going to kick the Cyrius in the ass!"

“”

After being in the New World for so long, who has not experienced the tyranny of the Cyrius, whether it is the navy, pirates, or natives of other countries?

It's okay to rob their merchant ships far from the naval base.

But directly robbing the gold and silver, which Cylius officially regarded as his lifeblood, was something that even the pirate kings had never done or dared not do.

The significance of this is second only to the successful capture of the Grand Fleet of Treasures! If this deal is completed, the privateer fleet, which does not even have a name yet, will surely become a blockbuster!

Looking at everyone's expressions, Evan was very satisfied, and this was what he wanted.

Shocked, excited, excited, incredulous

The stronger these emotions are at this time, the stronger the self-confidence, cohesion and self-confidence will be when the time comes to truly complete the goal!

For privateer fleets that are not supported by official salaries, the main benefit is the spoils of war, so a tempting enough target will best boost the morale of the team.

With the first battle of the current grass platform team, set a miracle beginning that capable people cannot.

Shaping the "soul" of this team, and gradually infecting the latecomers, can create an elite privateer fleet, rather than a group of rabble who bully the weak and fear the hard.

At least in Aven's "Overlord Disqualification Plan", this privateer fleet is obviously also going to the frontal battlefield, how can he be afraid of going against Sylius at this time?

At this time, Ai Wen, who had a white mask on his face and was dressed in camouflage clothes made of blades of grass and bark, ordered: "Keep going, and camp in ten kilometers!"

The people behind him followed suit, disguised themselves and followed Evan back into the rainforest.

The New World is a long gourd-shaped north and south pole, with less than 700 kilometers in the middle, and is called the Balboa Isthmus, which is where the Evan and their families are now, and is mainly composed of rainforests, mountains, inland seas, and rivers.

Land, the area was sandwiched between the Vice-Governorate of New Cyrius to the north and the Vice-Monarchy of New Granada to the south. On the west side is the Shattered Star Sea, where Cyrius is the most powerful, and on the east side there are naval bases, including Fort Navidad where the New World Naval Headquarters is located.

Syrius was inherently powerful on all sides, and although there were no settlements in the rainforest, it was also the real heart of Sylius.

However, even if Cyrius has ruled the area for nearly a hundred years.

But in the middle of the intricate terrain of the Balboa Isthmus, there is no way to find a route for ships to pass through, and it is impossible to connect the east and west shores.

Therefore, they usually transported the gold and silver produced by the Secret Dragon, New Granada, and New Cyrius by sea to Balboa City on the side of the Broken Star Sea.

It was then transported by mule and horse through the tropical jungle of the Isthmus of Balboa, and transported to the port of Dios on the golden sea, where it was then transported back by sea.

The forest road that crosses the isthmus is known as the "Golden Post Road"!

The invincible fleet of Cyrius on the sea may have capsized for various reasons, but on land, this "golden post road" has never had a problem.

Normal season.

After the departure of the Grand Fleet in early spring, it was not until autumn that a small fleet set sail again for Hirius. Until then, the "Golden Post Road" will be opened.

But the current situation is obviously not enough for them to spend more than half a year to prepare calmly.

The only way to do this is to transport all the gold and silver in advance to Dios on the side of the Golden Sea, and ship them back with the proceeds of the plunder.

It also happened to give Evan a chance.

Ai Wen, who has been eyeing this place for a long time, has sent his own reconnaissance team to carry out all-round control since he received the authorization to establish a privateer fleet.

The limit detection range of each seabird can cover a circular area with a diameter of 50 kilometers, and now the 150 seagulls with their own "psychic connection" and "spirit body" in their hands form a network.

As long as Aven wants to, he can completely lie in the port of Hatrafa in the north of the Golden Sea, and he will have a panoramic view of Balboa City on the side of the Broken Star Sea that is nearly 3,000 kilometers away!

Later, after meeting with the Arawaks, who had been fighting guerrilla warfare with the Cyrius for a long time, and obtaining information from them about a part of the escort team, the plan of action was finalized.

Thereupon.

A few days ago, from the feedback of the seagulls.

On the other side of the isthmus, in the city of Balboa, ships from the south and north had arrived, as well as a large number of horses and mules had been drawn.

After sending the seagull spirit to the vicinity to detect the mysterious cargo in the wooden box, it has been determined that it is the target he is waiting for.

So seize the time to organize people to go straight to the "Golden Post Road".

This kind of baggage troops marched in the mountains and forests, and even if there were simple post roads that were built, they were able to survive in one day (referring to the day), which is a distance of 30 kilometers in a straight line.

It will take them at least 20 days to walk the Isthmus of Balboa.

Just in case, Evan even came here to ambush more than ten days in advance, and no matter how cautious the treasure team was, it would never be able to escape the real-time monitoring of the seagulls.

This is hegemony in the field of intelligence!

Whew!Wow!

In order to conform to the current "White Knight" character, Evan did not use witchcraft, but Gary wielded a long knife in front of him to open the way.

The group was either extraordinary or elite among ordinary people, and they had successfully arrived at the camp that Evan had already chosen before dark.

A level of ground with a stream of living water and a sheltered hill could not have been more suitable, and it was only seven kilometers from the ambush site that Evan had finally chosen.

When the treasure team was only a day's way away from the exit of the rainforest, they relaxed their vigilance, and intercepted one of them by surprise!

"Set up camp, be careful, we need to stay here for half a month. ”

At this time, there is no need for Ai Wen and them to do it, and the physical work is naturally covered by his subordinates, which naturally reflects the gap in the survival ability of the three warriors in the wild.

Aven looked at them one by one.

The indigenous Arawak people were the undisputed number one, with the pirates of the Iron Bone being the worst, and the navy soldiers who had undergone the necessary military training were slightly inferior to the natives.

However, if it were to be changed to the sea, the order would most likely change to soldiers first, pirates second, and Arawaks third.

In a comprehensive comparison, the naval soldiers under his command still have the highest combat quality.

Presently.

There are only twenty-four tried and tested henchmen left by Aiwen's side, who have followed Ai Wen for a long time, and their combat effectiveness, experience, and insight are far from being comparable to ordinary pirates or natives in the wilderness.

This group of people will become the backbone of the construction of the privateer fleet in the future, and those who perform well will be able to become the new privateer captain.

Moreover, from the very beginning, Evan had a separation between public and private affairs, and would not let the pirates of the regular navy and the privateer fleet get together.

In the future, the "Cape Storm" will be the seat of the military Commodore Aven, and the "Daystar" heavy cruiser will be the flagship of the privateer fleet.

Soon after nightfall.

After the initial run-in, the raiding team finally settled down in an orderly manner.

On the first day, the physical exertion was relatively large, and Ai Wen did not let them hunt, and a small amount of prey could not meet the consumption of these hundreds of people.

It's only half a month, and the dry food I carried is completely enough.

After dinner.

With the night watch in place, most of the people who had been on the road for a day fell asleep to the increasingly active cries of nocturnal animals in the rainforest.

But.

This first night in the jungle was clearly not intended to allow these outsiders to live too peacefully.

It was close to midnight, when the first changing of the guard.

"Your Excellency, Captain"

In a separate tent, Ai Wen, who was writing and drawing with a few volumes of "Totem Warrior Training Method", suddenly heard a hurried call from outside.

It was the voice of Baldwin among the twenty-four cronies who followed him.

"You'll call me Lord White Knight in the future, what's wrong?"

Evan didn't pay much attention at first, as the seagulls didn't give him any unusual feedback.

However, Baldwin's next sentence made him completely unable to sit still.

"My lord, something happened! When the guard was just changed, the number of people was counted, and there was one less in the last shift!"

"How is that possible?!"
