Chapter 905: The Sunset of Carthage
On the blue surface of the Caribbean Sea, scattered islands are like turquoise emeralds set in a deep blue gem. This season, the weather is capricious. The fleet that had just broken through the rainstorm area was once again sunny and calm in front of them. Fortunately, Akon found that in the storm, as long as the fleet is close to the 'Holy Fox', it can also enjoy the protection of some sacred ships, even if the wind and waves are strong, it will be lowered by several levels, so that everyone can survive safely.
However, the other fleet was not so lucky, and the other small merchant fleet almost capsized in the storm just now. Thanks to the timely rescue of Akon and Katarina's pirate fleet, they survived. However, as soon as they thanked the pirates for saving their lives, they were thrown into the bilge and imprisoned by Caterina, and all the ship's goods and property were confiscated. After leaving the storm zone, all the crew members spared their lives and took refuge on a few small rowing boats to a nearby island.
This was the first time that the pirate group that Akon and Caterina had just formed had successfully plundered. But then again, the owners of these two merchant ships have to thank these pirates for saving their lives, otherwise they would have been buried at the bottom of the sea with their people. Two ships and cargo property are worth it as life money.
Caterina came to the nearby port of St. Lucia, found a familiar merchant house with the goods on board, and sold them at a discount. The two small merchant ships were also sold to the port's repair shop at a low price, and the proceeds were divided with Akon. The first time they cooperated, they made easy profits, which made the two full of confidence.
Set sail again from the island of Santa Lucia and sail straight to the island of San Juan. On this day, come to the Virgin Islands, 50 nautical miles from San Juan Island. It's a sunny and beautiful sea wonderland, but while Akon was drinking with Caterina on the aft deck and admiring the scenery, the silence was shattered by the rumbling of cannon in the distance.
Akon immediately invited Caterina to fly high in the sky on a wooden kite to investigate the accident, and the beautiful scenery of the Virgin Islands from above was even more refreshing. It was only to soon find a black smoke in the distance reaching the sky, which was the black smoke from the burning hull of a two-masted galleon that had escaped by shelling.
Behind the hapless two-masted galleon, several large ships were in pursuit, and from time to time the guns in the bow fired shells that stirred up white columns of water near the two-masted galleon, shaking the broken ship to the ground. The sailors on the three big ships behind are all arrogant daxiao, it seems that they are not worried about the broken ship escaping, because the other party's sails have been damaged, the speed is already very slow, they are just deliberately making the other party feel that there is a chance to escape, playing a game of cat and mouse.
It can be seen that the sailors who have done evil deeds are not good ones, and the top of the main mast of the Karak galleon led by him is clearly waving the flag of a pirate. This is just a farce of pirate raids, and Akon and Caterina are naturally too lazy to care, not to mention that they are also pirates themselves, so they don't have to destroy other people's businesses.
But Caterina in the back seat of the wooden kite noticed an interesting thing from the binoculars, there was an acquaintance on the boat in front of her. This man is a big blond man, with one wrist broken at the root and a bloody hook attached!
"Hehe, it's still an old friend. Hook the Blood Lion, is now so downcast that he's being pursued by other pirates. Caterina laughed.
Akon was stunned for a moment, then took a closer look at the broken two-masted galleon in front of him, "No wonder this ship is somewhat familiar, it is a second-hand item that Hook bought on Barbados." ”
"This guy is usually very arrogant, and his methods are cruel, he has offended many enemies in the Caribbean, and now he is fleeing everywhere, which is also retribution." Caterina doesn't seem to have a good impression of Captain Hook, but she doesn't like the group of pirates chasing behind either, "The one chasing Hook the Blood Lion is the 'Victor' pirate group, that coward has a small amount of weapons, and he has been taught a lesson by Hook, it seems that he got the news that Hook the Blood Lion was defeated, and now he is going to fight the Reservoir Dogs!" ”
"This is 'Tiger Falling Pingyang was bullied by dogs'......" Akon sighed, he stared at the two-masted sailing ship that was being pursued, and suddenly his heart moved, as if he remembered something, and asked Caterina in a deep voice: "I remember that you seem to have united us to annex the 'Victor' pirate group, and now there is a chance to ......"
Caterina shook her head and interrupted Akon, "The chances are not good now, I want to take down that Spanish fleet first." I'll clean up this guy when I go back. Otherwise, if you don't clean up Victor, you won't be able to do this rare big deal. Sooner or later, the 'Victor' pirate regiment will be ours, and there is no hurry. ”
Akon smiled: "I'm not asking you to fight Victor, but I want to ask you if you want to subdue a very capable captain." Maybe this person will be of great help to us in our quest to dominate the Caribbean......"
"You mean......" Caterina narrowed her eyes, thinking in her heart.
"Hook the Blood Lion's abilities are obvious to all, but he is a little unruly......" Akon's wooden kite hovered high in the sky, waiting for Katerina's reply. As a veteran Caribbean pirate, Katerina's sea abilities are stronger than Aken's. And she is also very familiar with the customs here, and she also has some contacts in the Caribbean, and is the leader of the team.
"......" Caterina was silent.
Akon continued: "But after he was defeated by us in a row and had nothing, he should be the most vulnerable. At this time, he was chased and humiliated by Victor, will you rely on a strong and trustworthy shili? This is the best time for you to subdue him......"
Caterina said lightly: "Doesn't the baron want to subdue him?" ”
Akon smiled, he seemed to have known that Caterina would ask, "Do you think that with the character of Hook the Blood Lion, he would surrender to someone who embarrasses him so much?" Later, our fleet will not intervene, you can directly lead your fleet to rescue him. It's a rare opportunity......" Akon said earnestly. Then he turned the kite and headed for his fleet.
"But it's impossible for my two ships alone to defeat Victor's fleet?!" Caterina had no confidence.
"Don't worry, as long as you make a brave appearance of losing both, I don't think the timid Victor will be able to fight you hard. Did he appear in this sea just to pursue and humiliate Hook the Blood Lion? "Akon is confident.
"What do you mean?" Caterina had doubts in her heart.
Akon sneered: "I'm afraid this guy also got the same reliable news and wanted to plunder the Spanish transport fleet." But I bet this guy won't hit it head-on. It must have been known about the other party's detailed route and attacked in a favorable sea area. Until then, he's probably not going to risk losing his ship and get into a big fight with you. Just like us, we don't want to let our fleet suffer before we reap the benefits......"
"Wouldn't we have one more strong competitor?" Caterina was a little worried, after all, she didn't have the ability to strategize after all, Akon, who had not experienced the scenes of a big war.
"On the contrary, we are profiting. I'd better get the other two of the five pirate groups involved, because we have an old Chinese saying, 'It's easy to fish in troubled waters'." "Akon likes the chaotic battle scene the most, and such a complicated Shili intervention can just give full play to his strong calculation ability!
And the other party is a pirate group, and there should be no powerful wise man like the guardian Eisen. Even if such a high-IQ character appears, they are in the light, and Akon, as a new Shili in the Caribbean, it should be impossible for the other party to know his abilities, and if he is in the shadows, he will be able to calculate them.
Caterina analyzed: "The number one 'Scarlet Dawn' pirate group will not rob the fleet related to the Spanish crown. The whole Caribbean knows that they wear a pair of pants with the Spanish royal family, as well as with the British Count Robert. However, if the Carthaginian Sunset Pirate Regiment, the second largest in the Caribbean, were to be involved, it would be a bit tricky. Their 'Sunset' is no worse than your 'Holy Fox', and it's also a strange warship! ”
"So what is the relationship between the 'Carthaginian Sunset' pirate group and the 'Victor' pirate group?" Akon asked.
"No one in the entire Caribbean will like Victor, a coward, and I don't know how this selfish, cowardly, and incompetent guy got to this point and was able to hold down Hook the Blood Lion all the time." Caterina said contemptuously.
"That's right......" Akon's eyes flickered, as if he was a little calculating. Then it will be even more necessary for you to subdue Hook the Blood Lion. ”
"Then where will I find you after I save Hook?" Caterina is persuaded by Akon.
"We're meeting at Puerto Rico Harbor on San Juan Island......" Akon smiled wryly, "I'll wait for your good news." You can convince our Baron Shi Fan that there must be a way to subdue Hook the Blood Lion......"
Caterina's face turned red and she said, "Get out!" That bastard isn't the same as Hook......"

"Ahh Zhang Fan sneezed heavily, and the roots of his ears were inexplicably hot. "Elder Erickson have to take these gems no matter what, this little dragon will get rid of you, I know that the cost of raising for more than ten years will not be less......" Zhang Fan tried his best to give the gem equivalent to fifty pieces of scene wealth to the old fanged dragon, and the latter blindly pushed back.
"It is the duty of our race to adopt our own kind, and I have been resurrected by you, and I have been left with the desire to receive these gems?" The old fanged dragon was resurrected into a zombie dragon by the book demon using the 'voodoo' living dead technique, although it looked a little ugly, after all, it was very satisfying to be able to manage the group that made it impossible to let go of it again.
You must know that the old fanged dragon himself is not afraid of death, but no matter how wise a wise man is, there is always something that he can't let go. And the old fanged dragon Erickson really can't let go of his own race. So after being resurrected by the book demon, he was naturally full of gratitude.
