Chapter 30: The Enemy of God

In Xu Mo's earthworld, the Age of Discovery was home to many famous pirates, some of whom are still depicted in film, television, and literature.

Among them were Francis Drake, an English navigator and sea lord who had defeated the Spanish Armada; Bert Lancaster, the "Captain Vale" who created the pirate's iconic flag, the Skull Banner; Spain's pirate queen "Red-haired Caterina".

Captain Kidd, the pirate prince who has roamed the world, plundered countless treasures, and left a treasure legend for future generations; Barbarossa Hayreddin, the "redbeard" who swept across the Mediterranean for the Ottoman Empire; handsome, with two female pirate kings, Anne and Mary's "Calico " Jack; The most brutal and murderous in history, the notorious "Blackbeard" Edward Titch, and so on.

Many of the pirate kings on this list are from the British Isles, and some of them are both officials and thieves, protected by the English government. Although Henry Morgan is not the most famous of these pirate kings, the Pirate Kings of the Caribbean definitely ranks in the top three.

Born in Wales, Henry was a soldier in the British army when England seized the Caribbean island of Jamaica from Spain. There, he befriended the island's thieves, swindlers, fugitives, murderers, and, with the support of England, became a group of pirates who specialized in plundering Spanish merchant ships in the Caribbean.

Henry and his fellow pirates swept across the Caribbean and Central American coastal ports. Not only did they plunder merchant ships at sea, but they also often went ashore to raid Spanish port fortresses. Cuba, Panama, Venezuela, Henry Morgan's name is in the Spaniards, and it can stop children crying at night.

In the dungeons of the London prison, Roland and Henderson meet the famous Pirate King of the Caribbean, Henry Morgan.

"Are you here to release me?" The middle-aged gentleman in the cell was eating, but he just glanced up at the two young men outside the cell door faintly, and continued to cut the steak in front of him with a knife and fork.

Roland looked curiously at the middle-aged gentleman in front of him, and the dim, damp dungeon didn't seem to make the Pirate King feel any discomfort. Despite being imprisoned, Henry Morgan's expression was focused and elegant, like that of an English aristocrat with excellent cultivation.

By this time, there was a truce between England and Spain, and in this peace agreement in favor of England, the Spaniards had only one demand, and that was that the English government must arrest Henry's gang, who were still wreaking havoc on the Caribbean coast.

James I, under pressure from the English Parliament, threw Henry into the dungeons of a London prison. However, as Admiral of England and officially supported Pirate King, Henry still enjoyed special treatment in prison.

In this Age of Discovery, England could not do without him as the king of pirates, and perhaps in a few months, the king of the Caribbean will see the light of day again, plundering the world's wealth on the seas for England.

"Young people, it is extremely rude to watch others eat for a long time!" Henry put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his mouth with a silk scarf, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his golden eyes, "If you don't say what you mean, I'll ask the guards to ask you to leave!" ”

"Oh my God, I really met him, I really met the King of the Caribbean......" Henderson blushed and asked in a loud voice, "You're Lord Henry Morgan, right, you're the Pirate King of the Caribbean!" ”

Roland tilted his head in surprise, and the shrill voice characteristic of a young man made his ears uncomfortable. The Holy Knight didn't expect that the young companion who was scared to death just now would actually look like a star-chaser after seeing Henry.

"The contemptible man is Henry Morgan, and as for the title of Pirate King of the Caribbean...... That's just a misunderstanding of the world, I'm just an Admiral of England who acts on orders! A smile flashed in Henry's eyes, "Young man, who are you?" ”

"I ...... I am...... Who am I? Henderson was so excited that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"My companion's name is Henderson Villiers, and he is an English naval officer who admires you. We have secured family leave for you and would like to ask you to guide us through the fishing process! Roland whispered cautiously.

Villiers...... I remember that the Duke of Buckingham's surname was also Villiers! Henry frowned slightly, lost in thought.

In fact, unlike pirates in other countries around the world, pirates in England mostly had an official status. From a commoner to a royal knight of England, the world-famous Sir Drake was the target of admiration and pursuit by all British pirates.

Henry Morgan had great prestige on the seas, but in England he was just an ordinary admiral. Being able to gain the favor of the Duke of Buckingham and pave the way for himself to become a true English nobleman was something Henry's dream of.

What's more, Henry has been in London prison for nearly two months, and although he knows that James I will release himself sooner or later, it is also a good thing to be able to see the sun in advance. As for whether the two young men in front of him had other purposes, or asked him to deal with anyone, as long as it was on the ocean, who would the king of the Caribbean fear?

Thinking of this, the middle-aged gentleman showed a hint of pride, no longer hesitated, and said to the two young men with a smile: "Henry Morgan is happy to serve the Duke of Buckingham and guide the young officers of the empire to 'go to sea'!" ”

……

At the docks in Amsterdam, a group of officers on the Vasa were getting off the boat, and Tie Lilie smiled and said to the red-haired beauty beside him: "Christina, haven't you always wanted to continue the competition with Admiral Alfred?" How not to stay on board! ”

"Hmph, since that guy lost to me that night, he has been like Hedram and Gerhardt, he has become a turtle with a shrunken head, and refuses to fight with me anymore!" Christina pouted, dissatisfied.

"Don't worry, I won't get in the way of you finding a girl! I'm going shopping on Rokenstrasse in Amsterdam, and I've heard that there are some oriental silks and the latest perfumes from Paris! Christina patted the bulging purse around her waist, and a gleam flashed in her delicate eyes.

"I almost forgot that this fierce tigress is still a woman at heart!" Looking at the glint in the red-haired beauty's eyes, Tie Lilie shivered and muttered in a low voice.

"Huh? That's ......" Christina suddenly looked at the group in the distance of the dock, stunned, and a hint of surprise appeared on her face, "Grandpa Flio......"

"Christina!" Frio Aeneco, who had just come off the boat, looked at his granddaughter in surprise.

"Haha, grandpa!" Christina threw herself into the arms of the old navigator and hugged the old man tightly.

"Why are you in Amsterdam too, Christina!" Frio happily touched the red-haired beauty's head, pointed to his companion and said, "Come, let me introduce you, this is the Admiral of the Castello Chamber of Commerce, Rafael Castello, and beside him are Kulaudi and Algardis. ”

Raphael was a handsome blonde boy with a virgin face and a fair complexion that even Christina would be jealous of. Kuraoudi, on the other hand, was a sturdy, heroic young man, and to Christina's surprise, he was the last. Despite the fact that she was wearing a men's undershirt and waistcoat, the red-haired beauty recognized her at a glance as a beautiful lady.

"Hello, nice to meet you!" Christina greeted them with a smile and then turned back and said, "Hey, grandpa, I'm a seafarer now!" See that big ship outside the port of Amsterdam, it's our Vasa! ”

"It's a ...... Battleship? Frio looked at his granddaughter in surprise, "Christina, although I support you in sailing, you ...... join a naval warship."

"Don't worry, Grandpa Freo, Admiral Alfred is very powerful, I'll be fine on the ship!" Christina laughed disapprovingly, "Let's go, let's go to the bar for a drink, and I'll give you your favorite Andalusian dance!" ”

"Alfred ......" looked at Frio who was pulled away by Christina, Raphael frowned a little confused, "I seem to have heard of this name......"

……

While the Vasa was resting in Amsterdam, their rival Pantheon also made its way to Serbia, Spain. Here they finally joined the seriously wounded trenches.

"How's the trenches?" In a humble house, Odin asked Athena beside him in a deep voice.

"The wounds in the trenches were very bad, and he had been soaking in the sea for too long, not only did he lose too much blood, but he also had severe lead poisoning. With my charismatic blessings, there is no danger to my life. However, the basic attributes of the law body have dropped a bit, and he has been reduced from a third-order to a second-order transfer, and for a period of time, his health will be maintained at a very low level, and he can no longer do anything with others! The white-veiled Athena sighed and replied with a somewhat wilted expression.

"As long as we reincarnators can keep our lives, we are already the greatest luck!" Odin was silent for a while, then closed his eyes and said, "Thorn, you go and 'take care' of the old pirate brought by the trenches, and try to get some information about that Swedish battleship!" ”

"Yes, Captain!" In a dark corner of the room, a cold voice sounded. The door squeaked open, and then closed softly again.

"Athena, how is the negotiation between the ghost fog and the Serbian Governor's Palace?" Odin asked with a frown.

"The Spaniards did not agree to our request for naturalization for the time being, but they agreed to provide us with material supplies from the ports along the coast of Spain and Italy." The light veil on Athena's face moved slightly, and she said softly.

"What about quid pro quo?" Odin said expressionlessly.

"They have asked us to continue the fight against the Ottoman merchant ships, and the Ghost Mist has received a similar plot mission. In addition, there is also a plot mission to take revenge on the Swedish battleship in the trench mission list, and the mission level is as high as A+, called 'Enemy of God'! Athena's melodious voice sounded in Odin's ears as if it came from outside the sky.
