Chapter 877: Blood Lion Hook
Akon felt that the old sea wolf looked at the ship as if he were looking at a naked prostitute, and his eyes were full of greed and inexplicable excitement. It's as if you're going to devour the ship bit by bit with your eyes. From the bow of the ship, step by step to see the stern, the mast, the casemate, the sails, the rudder, the various cabins, not let go of it at all.
After looking at it for two hours, he asked, "What do you want to change this ship to?" ”
Akon held up three fingers and said, "First, let the original owner stick his eyes to the cabin, and he will not recognize it." Second, be flexible! Fast! Thirdly, as many guns with the longest range as possible. ”
The old seawolf listened carefully, and then said, "If you want to be fast, this ship is fast enough. The Spanish galleon, improved by the British, was the fastest in this small boat. If you increase the speed, you will have to sacrifice a lot of loading space. Also, if you load more guns, your crew will be reduced, so if you engage in broadside battles, you will suffer. ”
Akon laughed: "Our Excellency Baron means to have a gunboat with the fastest speed and the most nimble steering in the Caribbean!" As for the rest, it doesn't matter! ”
The old sea wolf didn't understand what Zhang Fan Akon meant, although the general pirate ship was also equipped with some cannons, but most of them used the method of broadside battle to seize the ship, if they blindly used artillery bombardment, the other ship destroyed the cargo and sank to the bottom of the sea, wouldn't it be empty-handed? ! Could it be that the baron just wants to play with someone else? But if you are approached by other ships and use a rope hook to pull the broadside battle, what is the use of more guns? How did he know that in ten years, the broadside battle would be eliminated, and the naval battle would be dominated by long-range artillery bombardment.
"No problem, but then again. I'm familiar with Stoker, but ......," the old seawolf patted the steering wheel.
Akon interrupted the old seawolf's words, took out three copies of the scene wealth, and handed it to the old seawolf, "This is the baron's deposit, let Stoke notify me when the transformation is complete." Please ...... as soon as possible."
The old sea wolf's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the belongings, and said happily: "Let Your Excellency the Baron rest assured, in just ten days, the old sea wolf can make this little guy as fast as a swordfish!" ”
"Ten days?" Akon looked at the old sea wolf.
"Ten days!" The old sea wolf nodded affirmatively.
…………
The days of waiting are not boring, everyone is playing on this island. Under Zhang Fan's care, Akon does not go to bars and other public places to have fun. He was also worried that Captain Hook of the 'Blood Lion' pirate group would get into trouble with him. After all, his fleet only has more than 120 people, and the 'Blood Lion' pirate group has more people than them.
The black crews were much more honest than the white ones, and they all rested in their inns, while some of the backbone followed the old sea wolves to transform their ships and learn to calibrate their guns.
Captain Hook also seems to abide by the piracy convention and does not come to harass Zhang Fan's fleet. It's just that some pirates who went out to sea to plunder one after another, either returned with a full load or came to this hidden harbor with a disgraced face, and the old sea wolf's repair dock became more and more busy. In fact, most of the pirate ships are repaired by themselves. Because the pirates seem to be beautiful, most of them are very poor. It is not an easy task to plunder the armed merchant ships of the big capitalists with one or two small boats. They were beaten by the escort fleet, and most of the time they returned empty-handed. Moreover, the pirates under his command also had to eat and be paid, and the cost of looting was not low. Only those privateers, who did business and plundered at the same time, fared much better.
Thus, Akon found that it would be a great loss not to spend twenty years in this era without taking up the promising profession of the plundering fleet. After all, it costs a lot of money to sail to find dragons, to have good relationships with historical figures like Drake and Hawkins, and to fight pirates. If it weren't for the fact that the Byzantine millennium savings had been plundered before, it would not have been easy to start from scratch in this era and get mixed up from the beginning.
But the good days came to an end after a week. On this day, a tall, thin man who claimed to be from the Pirate Guild knocked on the door of Stoke and Akon's room and handed him a challenge. It asks Stoke to accept Captain Hook's invitation to a duel, as Stoker's fleet has violated the interests of the Blood Lion pirates on the high seas of Barbados, and the dispute can be resolved through a fair duel under the Caribbean Plunder Convention.
If a duel is not accepted, then Captain Hook's anger must be appeased in one of three ways. First, pay compensation equivalent to thirty pieces of scene wealth. Second, hand over the two ships of Stoker's fleet. Third, Stoke surrendered his privateer license and quit the Pirate Guild.
Thirty scenes of wealth is a lot of money, although it is not expensive as a life money, but Akon will definitely not agree. Surrender the two ships, if they are both white merchant ships in this scene, it will be fine. But if you want to hand over the dark gold props, Akon is naturally reluctant. It seems that only the third article is barely acceptable. Because of Stoker's privateer license, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Akon. But Stoker's words made Akon understand that this third article was fatal.
"You were able to enter this pirate-infested harbor because I had a privateer license and joined the pirate union, so I was able to enter and leave the harbor freely without being attacked. If I surrender my privateer license and quit the Pirate Guild, the pirate and privateer-based protection is gone. All pirates can attack my fleet and plunder freely. I will only accept the termination of my employment with your fleet out of responsibility for my own life, and I will not dare to surrender my privateer license and quit the Pirate ......Guild," Stoke said with a wry smile.
"Besides, this privateer license is not cheap!" Stoke added.
Akon nodded seriously and asked Stoker, "If we accept the duel, what will we pay if we lose?" What do you get if you win? ”
Stoke shook his head, "You won't be Captain Hook's opponent. I miscalculated for a moment, and I didn't expect Captain Hook to use this trick. If you lose, you still have to follow any of the three rules in the dueling book. If you win, of course, you can also ask the other party to pay out according to one of the above three rules. If the person who provoked the duel loses, his power becomes his own obligation, which is quite fair. ”
Akon glanced at Zhang Fan and nodded, "This is a gambling game, a terrible gambling game." Tell Captain Hook that we accept his invitation to a duel, let him wash his neck, lick the deck of his own ship, and wait for us to accept it. ”
Stoker's eyes closed, thinking that this time was over, they didn't know how powerful Captain Hook was! Dare to be so provocative, I'm afraid that after this duel, it's not as simple as wanting to die.
The rules of the duel are very simple, find a place, the leaders of both sides compete, and either be killed or beg for mercy and lose. Zhang Fan was a little silent, his combat power was not the strongest in the team, Akon's summoning puppet and on-the-spot strain, Green Wing's martial arts, and even Xuanyuanxing's melee ability were all stronger than his own.
And this scene is a weakened type, and he only has one-fifth of his physical ability. And the other party is the leader of the Third Pirate Regiment, and the pirate leader of the Caribbean Sea, who is known for his personal bravery, once solved a male lion with a sailor's knife! This kind of force will inevitably be boosted by the scene! I'm afraid I won't be an opponent, and admitting defeat is nothing, so I have to drag down the team.
"Let me do this duel......" The bookdemon pushed his monocle and said lightly.
"You?" Akon and Zhang Fan were both puzzled.
"What's the matter, let me do this duel!" Green Wing immediately stood up and fought her favorite!
"I'll do it!" Xuanyuan Star also sincerely invited to fight.
The book demon still looked unhurried, "You can't do it, this is a battle between leaders." Although I am not the leader of the team, my scene status is the same as Zhang Fan, and I have received the title of baron. You're all just knights. Therefore, I can duel in place of Zhang Fan, and you may not be able to. ”
The bookdemon paused and added, "You know, I'm not going to be defeated......"
Everyone is silent, the book demon is right. Because in the scene of the 'Battle of Britain', due to the proposal of the book demon and Zhang Fan, the important task of 'The Gift of Rebuilding London' was completed. Therefore, as an advocate of the book demon, it naturally has also won the favor of the scene. As a result, together with Zhang Fan, the initiator of the donation, he was awarded the title of King of England. And as the other members of the team, because these riches are shared by everyone, they also received the title of Knight of the Royal Bath.
The same scenario status as the team leader gives the book demon enough reasons and opportunities to replace the boss when facing this duel mission that must be participated in by the team leader.
What's more, what the book demon said that he would not fail, also convinced everyone. Although the book demon has no force, and even his physical strength is only equivalent to a sturdy ordinary person. However, he is blessed by the ancient Chinese beast 'Bai Ze's 'Absolute Defense' passive skill. As long as the opponent's attack power can't exceed the divine beast 'Bai Ze', then you can't defeat the Book Demon!
No matter how strong Captain Hook's ability is, he can't be the opponent of the ancient Chinese beast 'Bai Ze'! Unless the gods of Europe possess him, even if he dies of exhaustion, he will not be able to break through the 'absolute defenses'! And the rest of the team, no one dared to say that they could defeat Captain Hooke! Or undefeated......
The duel took place in a small square in the harbor, and before the time was up, it was already surrounded by hundreds of strangely shaped pirate crews. The market for the fight has been opened here. Of course, the odds of not being looked at Haode Zhang Fan's team are very low.
It was the first time Zhang Fan and the book demon had seen Captain Hook, a burly man with a bloody iron hook in his right hand, and his eyes were full of bloodthirsty cruelty! It's a little chilling to watch.
