Even if someone leaked the news that the Royal Navy knew that a coalition of pirates was going to loot the gold, they were still helpless.

After all, in this era, the timeliness of information is completely unguaranteed.

But the pirates were still very careful, just in case, they set off in batches, the first to go to a designated coordinate to wait for the others, and when everyone had gathered, they formed a fleet and sailed together to the target location.

The meeting point was arranged on an inaccessible island, which was the size of a football field, which was very small. There is no water source on the island, only a few tropical plants grow sparsely here.

In general, this island is the best place for exile, and at the same time it is a favorable terrain for pirates to bury their treasures.

When Wang Hao arrived here, the pirates who couldn't bear the loneliness were having a banquet on the island. Of course, those who can go to the island are limited to high-level command positions such as captains and quartermasters, and ordinary crew members are not qualified to participate.

Wang Hao's coquettish dress successfully won him unanimous praise from the captains.

The banquet went on for a few more hours, and it was not until Blackbeard and Black Sam counted the people again and announced to everyone the start of the operation.

The enthusiastic captains led their little brothers back to the ship, and all the sailboats were fully sailed to their destinations as fast as they could.

It was also at this time that the sailors learned the target location from Wang Hao's mouth.

"Uh...... Captain, you're saying we're going to attack a military fortress this time?! After learning the specific situation, Quartermaster Billy immediately put on a skeptical expression and said worriedly.

Wang Hao asked, "What?" Did anyone mention that he had any objections? ”

"Of course not, Captain, we never doubted your abilities, and if you decide to do it, the boys on board will follow you to the end!"

Billy immediately expressed his loyalty, this kind of thing is not something to be joked about.

To be honest, Wang Hao has many more rules on board than any other ship. In the beginning, the contract between the captain and the crew included a series of regulations that seemed to be completely unnecessary in the era, such as the guarantee of personal hygiene and the need to check the health of the individual, in addition to the treaties that were established by regular pirates.

You know, due to excessive indulgence and promiscuity, the health of sailors and pirates in this era is really worrying.

But the sailors still flocked to Wang Hao's ship, and in the final analysis, it was based on Wang Hao's ability to lead his crew to a lot of wealth again and again.

And because when Wang Hao finally left this world, what he could take with him was limited after all, so he was able to make more concessions in the distribution of loot, and he was indeed able to be fair and just enough, and the accumulated reputation was a testament to it.

But there has never been a shortage of insatiable people in this world, especially short-sighted but greedy fools.

It was not that no one objected before, and some sailors once said: We now have the first clipper ship in the Caribbean, and we only need to choose a trade route to plunder those merchant ships that are slow and poorly armed, and we can make a lot of money without much effort, and there is no need to run around the whole 'New World'. At one point, some people even wanted to join other sailors to stage a coup d'état, intending to overthrow Wang Hao's position as captain.

For the former, the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, and the matter is directly dismissed.

As for the latter, Wang Hao's handling method is also very simple, or a trick stolen from the former quartermaster Ma Weina: drive the ship to the middle of the sea, and then stab the instigator in the leg in front of other sailors, and then throw it into the sea, as for whether he can survive, then he can only pray for God's protection.

"Well, since you trust me so much, I can guarantee that this will be more than you ever imagined! You know, this is no ordinary fortress, in the past we have seen only the navy and gunpowder, and some moldy bread. And inside the fortress this time, there are countless gold and treasures......"

As he spoke, Wang Hao checked the wind direction and adjusted the course slightly. Sailing with a fleet of so many ships, Wang Hao only had one feeling, that is, he was very aggrieved.

Because they are too slow, even if they have deliberately reduced their speed, not every ship can keep up with Wang Hao. This forced Wang Hao to put away part of the sail in order for the fleet to keep up with his speed.

"Man, I know sailors can't save money."

Wang Hao asked Quartermaster Billy, who was looking into the distance with a telescope, "What are you going to do if we can really get a pile of gold from Cape Guarico?" Go back to Spain and be a rich man? Or buy a piece of land in the New World and become a plantation owner? ”

Billy shook his head, his only remaining eye full of confusion, and he smiled and said, "I can't go back to a place I've never seen before, you know, I'm just a Spaniard born in the Caribbean." As for the future, it depends on whether I can survive this operation. ”

"Don't you want to go back and see? Look at the center of the world and maybe you'll love it! ”

"Haha," Billy leaned back on the fence and pointed to the deck at his feet, "for me, the center of the world is here, and this country called the Equality is probably my favorite place." I know everybody here, and they know me, and we're partners in life and death, maintaining our home on the seas. ”

"Okay, I think I got it."

The voyage at sea is boring, especially Wang Hao's absolute prohibition of gambling money in any form on the ship.

Fortunately, it was not full speed ahead, which gave the sailors a little time to relax and brag and fart, and the performance of the two musicians also added a little color to the boring life on board.

By the way, the two musicians were paid and did not participate in any battles. And every seven days they can take one day off, and the rest of the time, they need to meet everyone's needs.

Of course, if they're willing to play on deck during battle time – that is, beat the drum at a certain rhythm to boost morale, then they can also get a share of the spoils.

The fleet sailed the sea for several weeks, and fortunately, without encountering any irresistible factors, finally on this day, all the ships arrived safely at their intended location.
