Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Pirate King
When Xu Mo was trying his best to face the Temple of the Gods, he had made several deductions about the changes in the situation in the space. Xu Mo put himself in the role of the head of the Temple of Gods, and thought about some plans to break the situation for his own plan.
It was indeed a good idea to break the situation with force, but at that time, Xu Mo quickly gave up the discussion of this plan. The reason is also very simple, there are too many human resources needed to break the situation with force, and Xu Mo does not think that there will be a large number of core members of the Temple of Gods to enter the era of sea power.
But now, through the battle in the Danish Sea, Xu Mo has to re-examine this possibility, and it is obvious that the number of people in the Temple of the Gods entering the era of sea power is completely beyond his expectations. When Joseph clearly informed him that there were members of the Temple of the Gods on the Spanish galleon, Xu Mo was actually extremely shocked in his heart, and he and the Vasa were not ready to clash with the Temple of the Gods.
In the difficult choice, Xu Mo still decided to start the war immediately, he was not ready, could the Temple of the Gods be ready? The result of the naval battle was not unexpected, the Temple of the Gods was defeated, except for a man and a woman who fell into the water, all the other reincarnators were killed by the Viking sailors, which became their battle exploits.
While Xu Mo was rejoicing, he also made a major discovery, if Joseph hadn't deceived himself, then these reincarnators should only be part of the members of the Temple of the Gods. In this way, Xu Mo immediately realized that his judgment had been wrong, the Temple of the Gods had more manpower than he had originally estimated, and they were still using a large number of manpower to arrange a strategy to break the situation by force.
The information sent to Xu Mo by the Agotic Chamber of Commerce was very complicated, ranging from large-scale naval battles between countries to the shipwreck of a certain merchant ship. In addition, most of it is trade information from some Mediterranean ports, for example, a particularly popular fashion luxury.
Xu Mo couldn't help but laugh at himself a little in his heart, the little girl from the Netherlands was obviously not willing to be held hostage by herself. Although he had to send information to himself because of the relationship between the hostages and the gold coins, this information was not sorted out. The Vasa is obviously a warship, so what is the use of asking for trade information, she is using this way to express her dissatisfaction in a subtle way.
However, Lilu couldn't think of what Xu Mo really wanted to find in these intelligences. Those sea battles that Lilu thought were very important, as well as the information on the movement of the naval fleets of the Mediterranean countries, were all put aside by Xu Mo first, and the first thing he watched was the current affairs of the major ports in the Mediterranean.
The members of the old K-regiment all knew that in the battlefield of time and space, they would encounter the Temple of the Gods that came to attack. However, it is not clear how the two teams will meet. Due to the particularity of its geographical environment in the era of sea power, the actions of the reincarnators must basically be based on a team, and they must first find a ship that can be used for navigation before they can participate in the main mission.
The continent and ocean territory is similar to the era of sea power in the earth world, and after the loss of flying tools, the territory is too large for the reincarnated. If the Temple of the Gods is in the east and the old K-group is in Europe, then it is very likely that the two teams will not be able to meet after the mission world is over, let alone fight a team battle.
However, this may have been rejected by Xu Mo after a member of the group proposed it. The space-time battlefield is a place for the law of superstring space fusion, and it is also a test field for the reincarnations of the two sides to verify and revise the spatial development route through a contest of force.
The two spaces will never let the teams of the two sides die of not being in touch with each other, not to mention that the Temple of the Gods and the old K group are still their own leading teams, and the two spaces will definitely find a way to guide the two teams to meet in a certain area or a certain competitive task.
Joseph's speculation about Lao K on the dinghy was not wrong, Xu Mo did prepare a few big killer moves. If he found out that the Temple of the Gods was too powerful and had no choice but to do so, Xu Mo would start these plans to break the net.
Of course, once these plans are activated, the situation will be extremely complicated, and most of the reincarnation teams in the space-time battlefield will be pulled into this vortex by him, and even if they can defeat the Temple of the Gods at that time, the old K regiment may also have casualties, or even the entire army.
After getting the main and side quests given by the space in Stockholm, Xu Mo immediately understood that the vast Mediterranean Sea was the stage that the space had prepared for all the reincarnation teams. All the intricate bootstrapping tasks will eventually converge here.
The Temple of the Gods and the Old K-Regiment will finally fight in the Mediterranean, adding a heroic and majestic appearance of sea men to this beautiful and mysterious sea.
Unlike the well-prepared Old K-Regiment, the many temples of gods that are isolated by the ocean to assist small teams are still trying to attack the old K-Troupe in this world, so they can't go through the story missions slowly, accumulate prestige, and recruit plot navigators. They can only obtain ships through violent means and go to sea to find the traces of the old K-regiment.
In the thriving Age of Sail, there was no shortage of outlaws and pirates, and the personal force of the Temple of the Gods was enough to intimidate and integrate these fierce outlaws to make them have to serve themselves.
Xu Mo checked the current affairs reports of these harbors, just to find the clues of the Temple of the Gods from these vast amounts of information, and get the first step in this team battle.
"Venice, Tripoli, Alexandria......" Xu Mo's eyes flashed with a gleam.
These cities on the Mediterranean coast have all had small-scale unrest some time ago, and there are all kinds of information, and there are all kinds of rumors. Some say that a maritime merchant in Venice found a treasure shipwreck, but after Venice docked, the ship and treasure were robbed by pirates, and he himself died. For this reason, the Venetian naval fleet also went to sea to search for some time, but could not find the pirates.
Others say that two groups of pirates fought unevenly in the port of Venice, and one of the pirates was wiped out, and their ships and cargo were also robbed by the other group. By the time the Venetian army arrived, the victorious pirates had sailed out to sea, leaving only a mess.
There is a lot of information about Venice, which is one of the most important commercial seaports in the Mediterranean. There are not many rumors about Tripoli and Alexandria, both of which are under Ottoman rule, and Tripoli is an important base for the Ottoman naval commander Barbarossa Hayreddin.
The information given by Lilu only vaguely guessed that there might have been a riot ~ riot among the natives of these two ports. You must know that neither Tripoli nor Alexander originally belonged to the territory of the Ottoman Empire. Tripoli belonged to the Libyan Arabs, while Alexandria was the capital of the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt.
However, Xu Mo keenly smelled the traces of reincarnation from these pieces of information. These pieces of information seem to be ordinary riots ~ chaos, but they all have a common characteristic, that is, the rioters' actions are fast and resolute, the purpose is clear, and the entire action process takes very little time. And the seemingly anticlimactic riots~ chaos led to the same result, that is, their actual profits were only large ships.
Tearing off the fog on the surface, these riots~ chaos were not so much quelled by the garrison of the harbor, but rather the riots~ rioters took the initiative to sail out to sea and stayed away from the place of the accident. What's more, in these rumors, the garrison fleets of these harbors seem to be unwilling to go to sea to pursue them for a while, but in the end they find nothing.
In addition to these three seaports, there were also some information of riots in other ports, but none of them were as large as these three seaports, and at most only one or two small and medium-sized merchant ships were lost. Xu Mo guessed that if the Temple of the Gods made a move, they should not be able to look down on these small and medium-sized ships. Therefore, it is most likely that the traces of the Temple of the Gods are in one of these three harbors, or that all three harbors are their handiwork......
Tripoli and Alexander were in the hands of the Ottoman Empire, and Xu Mo couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the "redbearded" pirate king Barbarossa Hayreddin, who had never tasted defeat in his life.
The Vasa is indeed formidable, probably one of the most powerful warships in the world right now. However, Xu Mo did not consider himself to be one of the most powerful naval commanders in the world. I heard that this red-bearded pirate king is not too young, so let's leave it to God to clean up, he doesn't need to weigh the pirate king's quality.
Xu Mo thought maliciously, he really hoped that the Temple of the Gods would poke out a big basket in Tripoli, and it was best to kill a certain descendant of the pirate king. In this case, they may not be able to wait for the old K group to meet them, and they will be sent by Hayreddin to meet Poseidon, the god of the sea.
The Vassa should go to trouble the Venetians, who are currently under the rule of the Holy Roman Empire, and are also a very important trading port, maintaining the maritime lifeline between the Holy Roman Empire and the Spanish Habsburgs.
Thinking of Venice and the Ottoman Empire, Xu Mo couldn't help but think of the powerful warships that Tie Li had introduced to him before. Known as the "Battleship of Calais" as the Venetian gunboats, and the giant Arab galleys of the Ottoman Empire. Unexpectedly, I had just heard about these two types of battleships, and now I had the opportunity to pilot the Vasa battleship and compete with them.
……
"Roland, can we really fool that man?" Henderson tugged at his companion's sleeve in a bit of trepidation.
Roland looked at the pale young companion a little helplessly, and said comfortingly: "If you want to avenge your companion, that person is your best choice, you must know that your opponent is one of the three giants of Vestelos, and no admiral with weight can defeat him!" ”
That being said, in fact, Roland's heart is also up and down. When Joseph chose that person, Roland also vehemently opposed it, but was eventually persuaded by Joseph. They could indeed use Henderson to get a warship, but in order to win the naval battle, they had to find a good admiral to command the ship.
However, in the eyes of those English admirals, Henderson was just a child, and no one would accompany him to the sea to fight a famous Swedish admiral to the death.
So, with a last blow, Joseph remembered that man. The Admiral of the Navy, who is currently being temporarily imprisoned in a prison in London, is also the greatest pirate king and admiral of England after Sir Drake - Henry Morgan!
