064. Just the waves, His Royal Highness is brave (Thank you fifteen, the first dust monthly ticket)
After the wedding, Bran stayed with his wife for three days.
For each of these three days, he fulfilled his duty as a husband.
After three days, he was focused on the next land development plan.
Relying on Desley's friendship with Blackbeard, after four negotiations, Blackbeard finally made Blackbeard willing to go to an island off the coast of Florence to meet Bran in person.
During this meeting, Bran kept it a secret, and even the captain who carried him did not notice anything unusual.
Bran was followed by Desley and Abu.
Desley is the introducer and must be present, while Abu is strict-mouthed.
Carol led another 500 men to take control of Meath City and avoid change.
Hilde was ordered to travel to Rome to make contact with the messengers of Chaisu.
Bran plans to unite Alan and Countess Bailey, and let the two guard the north together.
The rest of the subordinates perform their duties.
The inconvenience of spreading the message made Bran, as the sovereign, make sure that nothing happened to his base camp every time he left the territory.
Early in the morning, Bran set off on a clipper, followed by three small boats.
It looks like it's loaded with goods, but it's actually all sailors.
This type of ship can sail quickly in the open sea and is used as a transport ship.
Blackbeard, for his part, also used this kind of clipper, but they grabbed it.
Entering the sea area of the appointment, both sides are hanging general business flags.
Since it has been agreed, the two parties will first put the statue of the angel who protects and sails on the bow of the ship, and first identify them at the far end.
Then send someone close to negotiate.
When all was right, Bran's clipper came into contact with Blackbeard's ship.
The two monarch leaders met officially.
Dursley took off his mask and hood, as did Blackbeard.
But Blackbeard and Bran didn't move
"Bran. Charman, I have heard your name a lot lately, and among the merchant ships that have traveled between Venice and the Aegean, the captains of the ships have said that there is now a particularly good nobleman, who has been ordered by a giant to come and sweep the eastern Mediterranean. ”
Blackbeard waited for Bran to answer, and if there was one thing Bran said that he was not satisfied with during this meeting, he would leave immediately.
After being betrayed and parted ways by many of his subordinates, he became more and more convinced of his first instincts.
Whoever makes him uncomfortable, he won't cooperate.
"Barbarosa. Reading, the strongest pirate in North Africa, was the pirate with the highest bounty in the Duchy of Tunisia earlier, and is now a giant pro-point, one of the Seven Pirates, and the target of countless pirates. ”
Blackbeard was not happy to hear this, but what Bran said made him angry.
"The other six of the Seven Sea Pirates have potential, but you, like the remnant sun of the sunset, are terrifying by the afterglow."
"Boy, what do you say!"
"We don't care about any knight lord, this is the sea that swallows everything, what are you?"
Blackbeard's men hold weapons.
Blackbeard said, "What do you mean, Dursley?" But you've begged me so many times to meet!"
Desley didn't speak, Bran was still there, he was just a bodyguard at the moment.
Bran suddenly jumps onto Blackbeard's ship, causing the pirates to draw their swords.
The sword light flashed in front of him, but Bran was not afraid, wearing a seven-star sword at his waist, and carrying the power of a dragon, what was a mere pirate.
"Let your people get on my ship first, and the two of us will talk to each other to avoid leaking the news."
Seeing that Blackbeard didn't move, Bran said again, "The king of pirates, like a woman, cowered. ”
Bran's attitude, with the pride and confidence of the lord, Blackbeard did not hate it, he agreed with Bran's words, let the ship's men, board Bran's ship first, and move a few meters out, and the two of them talked.
Bran then took off the mask, and the Purple Eyes appeared.
"I need you, just as you need me, the Nine Ghosts (Garon) betrayed you, so did the Black Soul, and you were surrounded and suppressed by giants and gods at the same time, there is no way to go to heaven, and there are several gates to hell.
No matter how strong the pirates are, they will eventually return to the sea.
If it weren't for the Mediterranean Warriors, there would be no place for you pirates.
Everything in the world is dominated by interests.
It's Desley, not me, who has a relationship with you.
But this kind of friendship can also be used to calculate the value of interests.
You set your terms, I am here today in person, to negotiate this matter, there is no need for the next temptation, we are people who do great things, not a city and a territory, but a country and a sea, not like a poor merchant or nobleman bargaining. ”
Blackbeard's momentum was overwhelmed by Bran, or rather, his arrogance had greatly diminished since the turmoil he experienced in the Pirates.
Blackbeard looked at Bran and took the mask off his face as well, and the two met frankly.
The eyes can deceive, but the heart is hard.
Bran's words made Blackbeard's heart move.
"Your Highness Chaman, what can you give Blackbeard?"
"You have no base, I promise you Sicily, this is a duke's title.
It goes north to Rome, south to North Africa, east to the Holy City, and west to Ceuta.
Extending in all directions, a rich and prosperous place, flowing with milk and honey. ”
"Now this is Chaisu's territory, with tens of thousands of soldiers, why do you give it to me?"
"You're right, 'it is now'. I'm a person who likes to draw cakes for others and chase dreams together, and you cooperate with me, and we share all the nautical information in our hands.
I will give you all the movements of other pirates who trade with us, and support you unconditionally in terms of resources.
Seven pirates are too many, and there are two boats to pull up, just learn from the little pirates you snatched, and there are also more than a dozen of them in the Mediterranean land, mainly in the Teutonic Black Eagle, and the deep blue sea is up to your Shiwu Pirates.
The giant has now issued the 'Three Seas Thief Order', and wants to trample you and the black soul to death.
You are also a Cult of Light, he is an Orthodox Christian, you and I save the whole world of Light, maybe, the murderous pirate will one day wear the crown and be canonized by the Holy See, you are not a pirate Blackbeard, but a sea king. ”
"Fart, how can a pirate be canonized as king! When Luyo II mobilized the Knights Hospitaller, he couldn't hold the pirates in the Mediterranean down.
Those who surrendered were all burned at the stake for serious crimes. ”
"Everything has a first time, why can't it be you? As for the Knights Hospitaller? It's a joke, since Rome changed hands, they have no loyalists, and now they are doing the same thing as pirates, our Florentine goods, but anyone who enters the Holy City, if they intercept them on the way, and cannot pass without paying protection money, they are also pirates.
He also collects protection money in the name of God, and can be called a holy thief. ”
Desley and Blackbeard's men saw Bran and Blackbeard exchanging words on the boat, and on several occasions Blackbeard even drew his weapon.
Just as he thought he was going to fight, Blackbeard slashed his sword at the hull of the ship.
The conversation continued.
At this time, Desley took out the money bag on his body and told the crowd.
"This is His Royal Highness's heart, hard work, next time by the sea, find a place to have fun for a few days."
The pirates are not polite, and take it first.
The color of the ocean slowly changes as the angle of the sun rises.
Bran eventually convinces Blackbeard.
The two reached out and shook their hands.
After the separation, Bran returned to the Desley, and the three sailors responsible for protecting it also breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no head-on confrontation with the sea pirates
Bran looked at his subordinates, and knew in his heart that he was still lacking in naval talents.
In fact, the pirates are quite suitable and have rich combat experience.
But people like Blackbeard are ambitious and will not succumb to others, and they will pay more attention to talents in this area in the future.
Those few new star little pirates can accept a few as their subordinates.
"Your Highness, have you talked to Blackbeard? What conditions did he prescribe?" Desley asked.
"Just a pirate, he only has to accept it. Listen, in ten days' time, Blackbeard's ships will deliberately make trouble off the coast of Venice and the waters off Floron, and we will go and expel them and force them into the islands of Tongxia, and we have a giant warrant to crusade against the pirates, and stay in Tongfjord to inquire about information.
At that time, Dandolo will join us to find out the secrets of the currents in the fjord, and he has already figured out a lot, but we still have to go to the fjords for ourselves and feel the momentum. ”
"But in this way, Blackbeard's men are not equal to sheep running into the mouth of a lion?"
"How can you do great things without sacrificing, I asked him to hand over these people to me as a war merit,
On the one hand, I can gain the trust of the giant, and on the other hand, I can make the giant think that Blackbeard's vitality is greatly damaged and paralyze the enemy's intelligence.
Once we had entered the fjord, we managed to capture some of the soldiers who had fought last time and get a more correct index of wave movement in that place, which was the first weapon we had in naval warfare to defeat the giants.
When the enemy does not know that we have his secrets, we can deliberately fall into the enemy's secrets and reverse them. ”
Dursley didn't ask any more questions, Brandt did, and he split the whole thing into three parts.
One ring after another.
Next, he had to talk to Chai Su.
In each link, Bran can gain a little, and if all three links are passed, the result will be astronomical.
The two kings can't beat by themselves, and if they change to play with strength, he will have a chance to open up a new situation.
Ten days later, Blackbeard deliberately informed his men that he was pretending to be allied with Bran, but in fact he found out that Bran was going to deliver supplies to the giant's treasure ship, and that the defenders were scarce, so he could go and grab them.
It turned out that the leader had deliberately cooperated with Bran last time, and the pirates immediately made clear expressions.
The pirates are used to robbing, and for them, real knives and real guns are more comfortable than intrigue.
Hundreds of pirates were sold by the captain and went directly to rob Bran's empty ship, but Bran used the Florentine navy to counter-surround him, Bran personally supervised the army, and on the deck, he held a seven-star sword to let the helmsman and the sailor chase with all his might, forcing this group of pirates to the waters of the fjord.
There is no way forward, and there is still a chance to escape into the fjord.
The pirates fled towards the fjord.
The establishment of the Traveler's undersea observatory caused an energy riot that lasted for nearly a thousand years and is still ongoing.
In the sea area of the fjord, from a distance, there are whirlpools.
The waves are terrifying.
There are no sailors more than fifteen years old, who do not dare to rush through here.
"Hold the chains and don't let the ship rock, the enemy has been forced into the Passage Fjord, and soon these pirates will be surrounded by the Ashklay army scattered on the islands around the Passage Fjord."
As a result of early morning preparations, Bran's ships crossed the fjord safely.
Not long after entering, Ashoklai's warship approached.
At this point, Bran took out the Giant's warrant and stated that he had driven the Blackbeard Pirates in, and obtained the permission of the Navy to defend the island, but could only sail within their permitted route.
The defending navy controls six islands, one of which has the least wind and waves, which is also known to the pirates, so they fled into this island.
Bran was allowed to pursue, also from this island.
The further inward you go, the stronger the water becomes, and the warship, which is hung in chains, shakes incredibly.
This is still the weather without heavy rain, once it rains, the turbulent water directly soars into the sky, like the end of the world.
"This is the fjord!"
Bran, who had not participated in a naval battle, could finally feel some of the rumors he had heard during the two battles of Tongxia.
"Your Highness, be careful, this place has to be fountained from the heart of the sea from time to time."
"Just the waves, Your Highness is brave."
Simon and Ambu were also on the ship, and the two men may have been enshrined in the castle on the same day, and their friendship grew.
From time to time, he patted Bran's ass.
This time, Bran also brought with him six captains and twenty sailors of the city's merchant ships, who were not strong enough but had a lot of experience in sailing.
Raise the sails and control the rudder, and try to keep the boat off the left and right to maintain balance.
"Fast into the cabin, the turbulence is coming!"
The force of nature was terrifying, and the sea shook suddenly, and a torrent spewed up, which was about to wet everyone on board.
Bran didn't dodge or dodge, took a step forward, pulled out his sword, and used the power of the seven-star sword spark to cut open the turbulent water spring......
Rumble!
The Seven Star Sword directly muted the fire.
Bran even got his pants wet, and then spat a big mouthful of seawater.
And Simon and Ambu, who were sycophants, had safely hid in the cabin.
"Mere ...... Hang those two bastards up for me!"
