Prologue Chapter 1 Pirate on the Trade Line

Next Chapter

"Look! What's that?"

On an ocean-going merchant ship, a sailor looked out at the sea beyond the railing, fragments of debris drifting out of the mist in the distance.

"Parasols?"

Baroque white flower umbrellas float across the sea...... The crew ran to the sides of the merchant ship to watch.

"O Virgin Mary!"

The crew stopped in panic to watch, the fog in the air became more and more acacried, the fire burned and jumped on the already shattered deck, and the flag of the Kingdom of the Netherlands fluttered over the sea.

"What's happen here?"

A high-ranking official with a curly dark wig and a hat with peacock feathers inserted said: "It looks like a merchant ship of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, it should have been caught by fire, generally ......"

"I'm afraid that destroying such a large merchant ship requires a certain amount of heavy weapons, and merchant ships are generally well armed. A senior mate who has been at sea all the year round ignored the words of the senior official and directly broke it. The first mate said helplessly: "Sir, I think everyone knows that it will be a god horse...... Pirates”

The guy in the black captain's hat who hurriedly ran out of the captain's room glanced at the wreckage of the ship that was still burning hundreds of meters away, and said with a tight face: "All on alert, ready to set sail at full speed!"

When the senior official saw the captain come out, he said with some confidence: "Captain Norrington! This is impossible, generally speaking, it is just an accident." ”

Captain Norrington snorted coldly in his heart and said jokingly, "Governor Booth, think again." Pirate?pirate!. Since the advent of the new technological era, the major empires have been frantically expanding the newly discovered Moon Continent, and trade routes have been opened, and hundreds of thousands of tons of gold and silver treasures have been transported from the Moon Continent to the Sun Continent every year, and a new profession has appeared on this route - Pirate...... They're all a despicable and debauched bunch of people who specialize in sneaking up on people, so they have to be careful this time. ”

Governor Booth said disdainfully: "We have defeated the Kingdom of France on the entire Japanese continent, and also defeated the Imperial Navy of Saint-Wanderer, and the current ocean trade route is what our British Empire says, little pirate, what's so difficult to drive away?"

Captain Norrington replied, "It is on this trade line that the transportation, economy and trade of the present British Empire are on this line. And this time the delivery was a birthday gift for Queen Elizabeth, the brightest pearl on the Moon Continent that was discovered first. Because of this, this delivery has to be even more careful!"

Governor Booth still said in a disdainful tone: "Our Elizabeth is the pride of the British Empire, more than a hundred cannons, what is there to be afraid of pirates coming?"

"You haven't seen the horrors of those shitty sluts!" Governor Booth's ignorance made Captain Norrington laugh a little more.

At the same time, the sharp-eyed sailor immediately noticed that there was a child in the bucket floating from the distant sea.

"Look, a boy in a bucket!"

"Captain Norrington, in my opinion, we should rescue the boy first and see if there are any surviving crew members, even though we are still in a trade war with the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Seeing this, the governor on the side immediately said.

"Someone fell overboard...... Hurry up, put the rope down, and get the hook!" Captain Norrington thought about it, just humanitarianism, on this sea, there are usually shipwrecked sailors will come to the rescue. Therefore, he quickly ran to the side of the boat and immediately ordered.

The sailors scooped up the boy lying in the bucket. Captain Norrington strode past, glanced at the rescued boy's ruddy but blood-white face and slightly trembling chest, and said, "There is still breathing." Call the doctor and take it to the back. ”

The first mate ran over and said, "Captain, look at the port side!"

Captain Norrington quickly took out a retractable telescope, a large white flag, a pink skull was drawn, and many red hearts were painted next to the skull, the flag slowly appeared in the thick fog, and a gloomy cannon was being pushed out.

"The fleet is on full alert, ready for an artillery attack!"

In addition to the main ship of the Elizabeth, where Captain Norrington was located, carried more than 30 more than 24-pounder guns and more than 40 32-pounder guns, there were three frigates with more than 30 12-pounder guns and several high-speed sailboats next to it.

At this moment, on the other side of the dense fog, a woman with a captain's hat who weighed more than 200 pounds by sight also put down the binoculars in her hand, looked at the captured British Empire sailor kneeling at her feet and said: "If what you say is right, I will let you go in Tutga." If you dare to lie to me, I'll let you go to the springboard blindfolded!"

"Captain Marjorie, I swear by the glory of the Imperial Navy, I have been with the first mate for several years, and the treasure must be on the blue-striped frigate. "The sailors of the captured British Empire.

Marjorie didn't talk nonsense, she turned to the right and buckled the rudder to death, and roared: "Huh, little ones, aim for that blue-striped frigate!"

“Fire!”

More than 20 24-pounder guns and more than 10 32-pounder guns were frantically pouring fire on a single ship! The sky-high explosion exploded wildly on the hapless frigate. The main mast was cut off by a double-chain iron ball with a faceted blow!

Marjorie, on the other side, was unimpressed, and continued with a full rudder, making a 180-degree U-turn, across the middle of the already immobile Blue Striped frigate and the Elizabeth.

Artillery was arranged on both sides of the ship, so when a single volley was fired, the fire was the most ferocious. The heavy firepower of the powerful corsair is extremely ferocious, one side continues to suppress the fire of the Elizabeth, and the other side immediately throws a hook on the frigate that has lost power, ready to start a crazy ransack.

"Little ones, find treasure and reward!" A kind of pirate crawled along the rope on the hook against the dilapidated frigate, as if beaten with chicken blood, and the desire for treasure drove each pirate.

At this time, another red-striped frigate not far away suddenly headed in the opposite direction, followed by another frigate, and the two battleships ran to the other side of the Elizabeth one after another.

But all this was clearly seen in the eyes of a young man who looked dying......

“Fire!”

"Send all these to hell!" Captain Norrington roared frantically, eager to jump onto the pirate ship in front of him and pierce the body of each pirate with the sword in his hand.

But as a major general, he knew that this was the largest diamond ever found in the British Empire's colony on the Moon Continent, and its value was priceless.

"Swap the bombs, and shoot them at the powder keg!" Captain Norrington looked at the red-striped frigate hiding on the other side, and his eyes gave orders in an orderly manner. "This kind of thing from the Eastern Empire can finally come in handy today!"

Boom! Boom!!

In the face of the Elizabeth's firepower, Marjorie couldn't suppress it at all, and the explosion exploded wildly! The entire explosion penetrated the entire surface deck, and the gunpowder even pierced the second layer of the middle of the entire pirate ship through a large hole several meters in diameter, and the interior of the pirate ship also exploded continuously.

"Captain, the cannon is damaged, it's almost unbearable!" Marjorie's first mate immediately reported.

"FUCK! this slut!" Marjorie glanced at Norrington on the Elizabeth on the other side, and said angrily, "Hide! Untie the ropes and retreat at full speed!"

"General, they're retreating!"

"Hmph, you can't escape the palm of my hand" Norrington's eyes showed a touch of ruthlessness, and he clenched his fist fiercely............ "Anchor, right full rudder!!"

The sailor at the helm spun rapidly, and in a few breaths, the entire battleship turned all its flank fire at Marjorie's pirate ship, which was almost crippled.

But Marjorie is not a vegetarian either, her double-chained iron ball is her magic weapon, which was specially made for three thousand silver coins. When it is hit, it is not a straight line attack like an ordinary iron ball, but two iron balls are hit out in a cross-section.

This tactic of the two sides is completely to take the lead, and whoever strikes first will be able to deal the greatest blow to the enemy as quickly as possible.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

The sound of the explosion finally exploded on Marjorie's pirate ship, the bow and the mast of the ship were all broken, and nearly half of the guns were unusable, especially just now, the sudden retreat made the sail ignite by the fire on the ship.

Marjorie's pirate ship was completely destroyed! Marjorie looked at the captives of the British Empire who had been blown away by the explosion just now, and then looked at her own ship, not only did she not find the treasure in this battle, but she almost put herself in it, which was simply a loss to her wife and soldiers.

Cheers rang out on the Elizabeth.

But at this time, the little boy who had just been rescued was gone!
