Chapter 353: The Pirates Are Coming (4)

In order to avoid accidents, Jackson ordered the fleet to temporarily stop moving forward and wait for information from the front, and soon the Pioneer ship sent the message again, and the dozens of large and small ships docked at the docks of Paradise Island confirmed that they were all pirate ships, and according to experienced seamen, those pirate flags seemed to come from the Golden Isles.

After listening to the report, the expressions of the powerful people were different, although they had never been to the Golden Islands, but they had heard of it somewhat, but they never imagined that those pirates of the notorious Golden Islands would capture Paradise Island.

Duke Philip looked at Duke Jackson and asked faintly, "Lord Duke, as far as I know, Sandro, the commander of the Guardian of Paradise Island, is one of your right-hand men, right?" How did he let those pirates take over Paradise Island? ”

Duke Jackson sneered twice and said: "Duke Philip, first of all, although Sandro is my former subordinate, he is also an officer of the British Empire Expeditionary Force, and I am no longer the commander of the Expeditionary Force, so I think you should ask General Voguson, secondly, the personnel and equipment of the Paradise Island Escort are limited, and there are hundreds of pirates in dozens of pirate ships, and it is understandable that the Paradise Island Escort is difficult to resist." In the end, now that we've only found pirates on the docks, it's hard to conclude whether Paradise Island has been captured or not, right? ”

Duke Thomas added on the side: "Duke Philip, Caesar, the new governor of Paradise Island, seems to be highly recommended by you to Her Majesty, right?" ”

Seeing Duke Thomas and Duke Jackson singing and harmonizing, Duke Philip didn't say much, just turned his head and suddenly asked General Vogson: "Can the soldiers we bring solve those pirates?" ”

General Voguson nodded and said disdainfully: "Those pirates of the Golden Islands are just a group of rabble, and the reason why they are famous is entirely because of the special geographical location of the Golden Islands, and the major empires are too lazy to clean them up, and our soldiers are the elite of the British Empire." ”

"Well," Duke Philip nodded with great satisfaction, "in that case, let our brave soldiers deal with those pirates, and let the citizens of our empire have a good experience of your command as the newly appointed commander of the expeditionary force." ”

Jackson shook his head and said, "No! Now we don't know the specifics of the paradise island, what if the pirates have hostages in their hands? Reckless fire would result in many innocent casualties. ”

Duke Philip asked rhetorically, "What does Lord Duke mean?" Do you want to wait for the pirates to leave on their own? ”

"That's definitely impossible, these pirates of the Golden Islands actually dare to attack my British Empire's dependencies are killing themselves, I will recommend to Her Majesty the Queen to send a fleet to sweep away its Golden Islands after I go back, but at the moment we have to consider the safety of the citizens of the empire on the island, my proposal is to send a small team from other places to sneak into Paradise Island first, and then make plans after finding out the situation on the island, if you can contact the soldiers on the island to cooperate with the outside, it would be the best."

Duke Thomas nodded, "I agree with Duke Jackson's suggestion, blindly firing at pirates can indeed cause many immeasurable consequences. ”

In addition to Duke Thomas, most of the other imperial magnates also agreed with Duke Jackson's proposal, firstly, because Duke Jackson did have a point, if he really blindly fired at the pirates and caused a large number of deaths and injuries to the citizens of the empire on the island, they would all be to blame, on the other hand, in fact, these magnates could also see that Duke Jackson and Duke Thomas were obviously secretly competing with Duke Philip, although Duke Philip had been very favored recently, but after all, the foundation was still shallow, if they really fought in the end, may not be the opponent of those two old foxes.

Since most of them supported Duke Jackson's proposal, Duke Philip could not say anything more, and General Vogtson immediately assigned men to prepare to land on the island first.

On Paradise Island, Scar Man hurried to the arsenal under the leadership of Sister Hua's men, and when there was still some distance, he was found by the soldiers guarding the outermost periphery, and the two sides immediately exchanged fire.

Hearing the sound of firefighting, the islanders who were hiding in the distance immediately panicked, they didn't expect those pirates to find them so quickly, and they had no choice but to drag their tired bodies and continue to flee deeper into the island, and Sandro in the arsenal was also frowning and worried at this time.

Although the location of the arsenal is densely wooded, and the arsenal itself has many strong fortifications, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack, Sandro is very confident that the pirates will not be able to break through his defenses with only those broken guns in his hands, but it is not a way to be surrounded by pirates all the time, after all, the life supplies in the arsenal are limited, especially the water resources need to go to the freshwater lake every day to replenish, and the Duke Jackson's side is a little delayed for a day or two, and the arsenal cannot be maintained.

Sandro's adjutant said to Sandro, "Commander, why don't I go out and talk to those pirates?" I think they didn't just come to our paradise island to rob us, right? ”

Sandro nodded, "I don't think those pirates should have come here to rob, there is no need for this, and there is no courage to do so, so you stay in the arsenal and I'll talk to them." ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, you should stay in the arsenal and I'll talk about it, in case it ......."

"I'm the commander of the convoy, and I'm not going to be scared by a bunch of pirates, who don't dare to do anything to me." As he spoke, Sandro ordered his men to stop shooting immediately, and then swaggered towards Scar Man.

The scar man saw Sandro swaggering towards him, and also raised his hand to let his people stop shooting, although he didn't know Sandro, but judging from Sandro's dress and the feeling he gave people, the bald head should be a leader-level figure.

Walking to a distance of about one or two meters, the scar man scolded and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Sandro said calmly: "I am the commander of the British Empire's Paradise Island Guard. ”

"Oh, it's the commander, you came over so swaggeringly, aren't you afraid that I will shoot you?"

Sandro still said calmly: "Since I dare to come alone, I won't be afraid of you shooting, now can you tell me your identity?" ”

The scar man didn't go around the bend with Sandro, and told Sandro directly: "We are from the Golden Islands. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a friend from the Golden Isles."

"Friends?" The Scar Man was stunned for a moment, and then asked faintly, "It's really surprising that the Commander would call us friends, shouldn't you call us pirates?" ”

Sandro sneered twice, "Since you know that you are pirates, you still dare to set foot on Paradise Island?" You know that this is a dependency of the British Empire. ”

"Of course we know it's a dependency of the British Empire, but so what? Are we pirates? Where can't we go? ”

"Of course you can come, but didn't you think about what happened after you came? The British Empire can send a fleet and sweep away your Golden Isles. ”

"This doesn't bother the commander, since we dare to come, we naturally have our considerations, but now the commander thinks about it, do you want to surrender on your own initiative? Or shall we continue to fight? ”

Faced with the threat of Scar Man, Sandro burst into muscles, he probably never dreamed that there would be pirates who would dare to speak in front of him like this, and he really wanted to shoot Scar Man with one shot.
