Chapter 39: Duncan Lew
readx;
In the middle of the pirate fleet, there was a huge ship five or six times larger than the other largest warships, this is a battleship with soft sails, its high freeboard sides are not only filled with powerful ballistas, but also a tall trebuchet in the middle of the hull and stern, and the sharp bow is equipped with a ramming angle made of stainless steel, and the people who operate these powerful weapons are even more energetic, with a straight back, a burly body, and a bare-chested pirate elite!
At this moment, Duncan Lew, the king of pirates who terrified all the maritime and navy in the Mediterranean, was on the helm platform with the tail of the warship raised high, but he did not steer himself, but sat high on a grand chair behind the helm, his eyes slightly closed, his left hand holding a nine-ring broadsword, and the sharp iron hook on the broken arm of his right hand kept knocking on a skull embedded in the arm of the chair. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Anyone who knows the legend of the Pirate King knows that this skull is none other than the Brown Imperial Navy Governor Hoga Mende twenty years ago, this Governor General was regarded as a different enemy because he killed the wife of the Pirate King Duncan Lew in his early years, and finally killed him with his own hands in a fierce naval battle twenty years ago, but this still could not dispel the hatred of the Pirate King, so he skinned and fleshed the head of the Governor of Hoga and put it on the seat deputy of his fleet flagship, so as to beat it at any time to vent his anger!
Around the Pirate King, there was a circle of guards wearing bamboo armor, tall figures, holding swords and shields, but these guards, who were more elite than ordinary pirates at first glance, didn't even dare to come out at this time!
There is no other reason, if you don't tremble at any time by the side of the Pirate King, and stick to your post like walking on thin ice, just wait to be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks!
"Second brother, who did you send to clean up those two ships?" The Pirate King didn't open his eyelids, but asked in a faint tone.
A bronze-skinned, majestic, bearded strong man standing behind him hurriedly said: "Brother Hui, it's Marcus's gang who just joined the gang a few days ago, and their leader Marcus has some means and is eager to make meritorious contributions, so the younger brother handed over this head formation to him." ”
Marcus was originally a noble lord of the Holy City Kingdom, because he couldn't stand the heavy taxes and endless wars of the Holy City Kingdom, so he took his people to the sea and did every job, because all the military funds were used to maintain a huge army, and the Holy City Kingdom did not have a ship navy at all, so he was unable to pursue him, but made him one of the famous pirate leaders in the Western Continent, but two months ago, Marcus and his gang went back to the word, after robbing a merchant fleet, He was blackened by the Sea of Seris, and suffered a big defeat, so he defected to the pirate king Duncan Lew in desperation.
Duncan Lew just let out an expressionless "hmm", neither showing any dissatisfaction nor satisfaction with this candidate, "Have you given him all orders?" Don't kill people cleanly, leave a few alive, we have to interrogate it, this expedition is very important, we must be cautious and cautious! ”
"Don't worry, eldest brother, the younger brother has already told Marcus." The second master said.
"That'll be fine." The Pirate King didn't say anything more. Calm was restored on the aft platform.
Duncan Lew's outpouring of the nest this time was naturally not to rob the two ships that did not submit to them, they had a more important and sacred purpose. That's right, "sacred"! Because the target of their attack this time is the island of Tanatos in the undead kingdom!
Duncan Lew didn't think that far ahead, thinking that the "rotten bones" would land on the Western Continent in a big way, setting off a prelude to the war of human annihilation or something.
This matter has to start from a few months ago, when there was news that those rotten bones are trying their best to build warships, which means that they either have the ambition to dominate the Mediterranean, or to invade a certain country on the continent on a large scale, although Duncan Lew is a pirate, but he is not without racial righteousness in his heart, it really makes the rotten bones bigger, not to mention that he will lose his livelihood in the future, lose the foundation of his existence, and even the Mediterranean will no longer be owned by human beings!
As the most powerful maritime power in the Mediterranean, the Pirate King has a duty to nip in order to stop the "rotten bones" from dominating the seas!
Yes, Duncan Lu's fleet is indeed the most powerful force in the Mediterranean, although the Cyris Empire in the east is strong, but their fleet is not so much a navy as a nearshore sailor, only responsible for guarding some important commercial ports on the shore or something, and they don't go to the ocean at all on weekdays, and don't even think about escorting merchant ships or anything, they are the sailors of the Sailis Yun Dynasty, they only need to be responsible to Shangguan and Emperor Lao Tzu, and the life and death of the merchant travelers? So what do they do?
Although the ideas of the sailors of Seris are despicable, it has to be said that as a private army of the emperor in the feudal era, it is not surprising that they have such thoughts. And as a feudal army, their combat effectiveness can only be "hehe".
As for the navy of the brown-coated empire? That's even more of a joke, just kidding, who has ever seen a navy that can't even beat pirates, let pirates kill their own governors, and make their heads into chair armrests? On both sides of the Mediterranean Sea of the Open Heaven Continent, when a person mentions the naval combat strength of the Brown Empire, a contemptuous smile will appear on his face.
And when it comes to the crusade against the Rotten Bones, the navy of the Brown Empire is not credible at all, because it was they who transported one of the legions of the Rotten Bones to the west coast of the Origin Mountains two years ago to land and participate in the world-famous Battle of the Curse!
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Duncan Lew was crushing a newly rising pirate force in the southern Mediterranean, so close to his lair, another governor of the Mende family, would have had his head on the ......
However, he had just sworn in the day before yesterday and set off with his large fleet, and yesterday news came that two sailing ships had appeared in the nearby ocean, and he knew that his Duncan Lew's lair was not near the main shipping lane, but on a small island off the west coast of the Origin Mountains, there was no commercial port here, and it was far from the main shipping route, if it was a merchant ship, how could it be here?
Isn't it a spy for the "rotten bones"? The news that I poured out of the nest has leaked? In his heart, Duncan Lucai led his large fleet to approach the two ships of Buchen and them, intending to let go of none of them and wipe them out!
Half an hour later, a small sampan leaned against the great flagship, and the second master confessed to the pirate king, went down to check it, and after a moment he hurried back again.
"Big brother, the latest news, that clipper is running away with full sails!"
Duncan Lew opened his eyes suddenly, no matter whether the other party was a "rotten bone" spy or not, the news he poured out of the nest must not be leaked at all, otherwise this surprise attack would end in failure!
"Send the fastest ship, send the leader who is most familiar with the sea conditions in this sea, you must catch them!" The Pirate King Duncan Lew commanded.
"Understood!" The second master's face was also a little ugly, he answered, and ran down again.
Ten minutes later, a clipper with a long and narrow hull and huge sails broke away from the Pirate King's capital ship, raised its sails, and chased after the fast ship of Pande Comptoir, which had fled!
But despite this, the Pirate King could not sit still, and he stood up and walked to the side of the ship, looking at the merchant ship where they were in the distance, wanting to see his men take down this uninvited guest!
It's just that to his surprise, the merchant ship that didn't submit to them had already dropped anchor and stood still, looking like it didn't mean to run at all! Although they can't run away anyway.
"What are these people up to?" The Pirate King couldn't help but frown.
A moment later, when Marcus's gang, who had already broken away from the fleet and rushed towards the merchant ship that did not submit to them, connected with the merchant ship that did not submit to them, the Pirate King understood completely!
"It's kind of interesting." The Pirate King's eyes narrowed slightly.
As soon as Marcus's ship was connected to the side, the pirates grabbed the rope from the mast and swung over, and two figures rushed out of the cabin, one bow and the other stern, rushing into the crowd of pirates like a mad tiger! One of them was a human, the other an orc, one with a long knife and the other with an iron rod, and before the pirates could stay on board and stand firm, they went on a killing spree!
