But after all, this is also a bad sign, and Lin Ye is also ready to return to the Far East to build a navy.

However, it has only been a few days, and he is still on the road, but he is encountered by pirates blocking the port, and it seems that the situation is more serious than he imagined.

In the history that Lin Ye has experienced, the blockade of the port has not happened before, and that was the era of sail battleships in the eighteenth century.

Edward Titch, nicknamed Blackbeard, once piloted the Queen Anne's Revenge to blockade the Port of Charleston.

As a result of the blockade, Titch returned with a huge ransom and made a name for himself in the history of piracy.

Lin Ye was a little curious that there were pirates who dared to do such a thing in this era, and immediately went over to see the surviving seafarer.

"Eat something, don't choke, are pirates so rampant now? ”

An old sailor named Asik put the food on the table and watched the rescued crew gobble it up.

He was Hans's most experienced sailor, in his forties, but he had been fighting at sea for thirty years.

He was originally an old bachelor, unconcerned, and had already experienced many seamen before working for Hans, and witnessed all kinds of dirty things.

For example, they have long seen the oppression of good people and the looting of wealth, and they have not thought of quitting this job.

But after being a sailor for half his life, what can he do if he doesn't continue to do this? He can only turn a blind eye, and he can't control what the commander does.

Now that Hans was dead, and when he was given the choice of either die or go to the Far East, he did not hesitate to choose the former.

Anyway, Hans is also to blame, but he doesn't know what kind of person this new head is, and what kind of place the Far East is.

Although they came and went in the wind and rain on the sea, they had not been to the Far East, and they heard from the sailors who came and went that it was very rich and everything was fresh.

There was wine, there were beautiful girls, there were hospitable citizens, and he had long since decided that he would have to visit that place for a few more years.

Unexpectedly, he had this opportunity in advance, and it was simply that the gods on the sea heard his call.

"Your Excellency. Just as Asik was about to say a few words to the crew, the sailors behind him immediately got up.

Sensing the Duke's visit, he also greeted him, but was told by the young man that it was okay to go about his own business.

"It's safe to get here, what's your name?" Lin Ye looked at the shipwrecked crew.

He was still very young, probably in his teens, his skin was a little dark from the long sun, and his expression was a little anxious.

"Lord Lowry, my name is Lowry, and I'm a member of Abababa's crew, and I've seen you. Lowry stood up and was very excited.

"Don't be nervous, you sit down and continue eating, are you Ababa's subordinate?Where is Ababa's now?" Lin Ye said kind words to reassure him.

Ababa should have done business in various ports in the East China Sea, and he was in charge of opening up overseas shipping routes.

Lin Ye saw Lowry's nervous look, could it be that this guy Abba was so unlucky, he just happened to run into the Eagle Harbor, right?

"Young Master Ababa, he is now trapped in Eagle Harbor, the port is blocked by pirates, and everyone is trapped in the port and can't get out. ”

When Lori saw Lin Ye, he seemed to see a savior, this young duke was an omnipotent existence in the eyes of these people of the Far East.

"Then how did you get out?" Lin Ye asked softly, he needed to have enough information to think of a countermeasure.

"We weren't in Eagle Harbor, just when we were about to arrive at the port, we found out that there was a pirate ship, I wanted to leave but it was too late, we were attacked by the pirate ship, everyone including the captain was captured by the pirates, and the cargo was also snatched by them, and at the last moment the captain covered me and escaped. ”

Lowry's face was very self-reproachful, the captain had a chance to escape, but gave him this only chance.

If he hadn't met the Duke, he would have failed the captain's trust.

"How many pirate ships are there, how many of them are there, there should be two hundred soldiers stationed in Eagle Harbor, right?" Lin Ye frowned.

As an active port, Eagle Harbor has dozens of merchant ships coming and going every day, not to mention soldiers, but also thousands of sailors.

There's no reason to be curbed by pirates to this extent.

"There are eight pirate ships in total, and there should be more than six hundred people in number, and if they land and fight, we will definitely not be afraid of them, but they are equipped with magic cannons, and they are just staying at sea, shelling the port, and we can't fight them on the sea. ”

Lowry gritted his teeth with hatred, those hateful pirates were so despicable that if they were on land, they would have been killed a long time ago.

However, they relied on the advantage of the magic cannon to attack the ship, which made the people of Eagle Harbor unable to use their strength, and they were very annoyed.

"Is it a new type of magic cannon produced by Loki of the Northern Wizard Kingdom? I also wanted to buy a few and come back to study it, but I didn't expect it to be the pirates who took the lead, they really know how to keep pace with the times, if there is a magic cannon, this is a bit tricky. ”

Lin Ye frowned, the magic guide cannon as a new type of equipment has not yet been popularized, even in the Lionheart Empire.

It is only the royal capital that is equipped with dozens of them, and the magic guide cannon has a fatal weakness, that is, the consumption of magic power is too great.

Requires a constant supply of energy with magic crystals.

It's amazing how many pirates can master such a technique, and they currently have twenty ships that seem like a huge number.

There were also quite a few soldiers on board, two thousand Iron Eagle Guards, and a few hundred sailors.

But if you encounter a pirate attack without a magic cannon, the sea is vast, and that's it.

"Why don't we avoid these pirates and wait until we get back to Blackwater?" Van suggested in a whisper.

If they were to be attacked by pirates, it would be very troublesome, and they would be a live target.

"My lord, the situation in Eagle Harbor is really critical, you can't see death without saving it, my lord!" Lori looked anxious.

It was not easy to catch a life-saving straw, and if it were to return to the Far East, it would take more than a month to come and go.

By that time, not only will all the pirates have fled, but it is simply impossible to imagine what the situation will be in Eagle Harbor.

"Eight pirate ships, more than six hundred pirates, how many magic cannons do they have?" Lin Ye continued to ask. (To be continued.) )
