Chapter 446: Surprise attack of the Invincible Armada
Tang Jie's ostentatious behavior in front of the governor of Thalit made his subordinates very puzzled, and Nia asked privately: "My captain, aren't you afraid that after we leave, these commoners will be troubled by the local nobles and governors?"
Tang Jie laughed: "Most of the residents here are fishermen, and their lives are very oppressed and exploited on weekdays, if we leave, they will be used as a punching bag, what do you think they will do?"
Nia thought for a moment and said, "If it were me, I would either kill the official and become a pirate, or leave here." ”
Tang Jie laughed: "Yes, now that the people here have tasted the benefits I give, if they are subjected to extremely harsh tyranny or abuse in the future, do you think they will consider defecting to me?
Nia suddenly sighed, "Your method is too shady." ”
Tang Jie smiled and said, "This also requires the cooperation of these officials." ”
Afterwards, as Tang Jie expected, after Tang Jie's fleet left, the governor of Shatrit found that his treasury was empty, and he was furious, and sent soldiers to loot the city and recapture all the money that Tang Jie had scattered into the homes of civilians.
It is easy to give away the money, but it is very difficult to get it back, and many families are holding on to the gold bags and refusing to let go, and as a result, they are accused of being fellow pirates and have their heads cut off.
In just one day, the Shatlit became a living hell, and there were hundreds of clashes between civilians and soldiers, although they were finally calmed down under strong and severe suppression, but the hearts and minds of the Shatrit government disappeared overnight.
The commoners gathered in private at the bar, and they were all indignant when they talked about the governor of Chatlet, and thought that this was a real robber in official uniform, and that those pirates, though vicious and powerful, were reasonable and reasonable.
At that moment, a brave sailor asked, "Why don't we go and vote for these pirates?"
Some sailors said suspiciously: "But we don't know how to go!"
A sailor next to him patted his chest and said, "This is simple, these pirates are from Alcatraz, and now they are the most famous pirates in the entire ocean." I also know the location of Alcatraz Island on the sea, I heard the old sailor of the Schattdecor family say that he has been to Alcatraz Island, and he also has a navigation chart, so let's ask him to borrow the navigation chart, can't we go there?"
Most of these civilians were sailors, and they were bold men, and when they had drunk wine, they applauded, and after they had discussed them, they ran to Chart's house overnight, and kidnapped him and his family without saying anything, and then took the charts, stole an official ship, and sailed to Alcatraz Island in the night.
The next day, when the governor of Statlit found that some of his inhabitants had fled to become pirates, he was furious and launched a new round of manhunt in the city, claiming that he wanted to arrest the pirates' spies.
But in this way, the already panicked civilians became more and more panicked, and the more high-pressure they were, the more people wanted to escape.
Although Tang Jie's trick was intriguing, it indirectly turned Chartaelite into a camp that sent excellent sailors to Alcatraz Island, and some sailors did not know the direction of Alcatraz Island, so they took the sea ships of other caravans, all the way, constantly asking about the location of Alcatraz Island, and whenever someone asked, they would tell them what happened to Chartelit.
In this way, in the coastal cities of the Syla Empire and even the Falco Empire, the "righteous name" of the pirate Tang Jie was praised by the lowly civilian sailors for a while, and even when the fleet under Tang Jie went to raid the coastal cities of Noah's continent, these civilians knew that these pirates only robbed the government, not the civilians, but helped show the way and help rob the money, which made the local government a big headache.
Of course, that's all for later.
When the Sharlit fell into a carnival because of Tang Jie's "goodwill", a powerful fleet was quietly approaching the Saudilite.
"Lord Sumar, they don't seem to have noticed our ......," one of the first mates lowered his binoculars and whispered, as if he was afraid that a little louder voice would alarm the fleet that inhabited the harbor in the distance.
Sumar is the only remaining admiral of the Shira Empire, second only to Admiral Pylos, who died at the Battle of Kamerocya.
He also holds in his hands one of the most important fleets of the Shira Empire, the Sixth Fleet of the Empire, which is known as the invincible armada.
This fleet has been undefeated since it was formed ninety-three years ago, and it is even more invincible in the hands of Sumar.
Originally, the Invincible Armada was anchored in the sea near the waters of Otrensia to deter the navy of the Falco Empire, and one of their fleets contained the main naval force of the Falco Empire, which shows how strong this fleet is!
When Tang Jie attacked Shatrit, the rumbling cannon alarm the Invincible Armada, which happened to be sailing more than 20 nautical miles away.
Sumar was a battle-hardened veteran, and he knew what kind of fleet was attacking the harbor city of the Shira Empire as soon as he heard the rumbling cannons, and according to his estimates, it was a large fleet with at least ten ships of more than three masts, and the guns were fierce and the attacks were sharp.
The cannon only sounded for a while, and then no movement was heard, which also meant that the fleet completely destroyed the counterattack ability of the city of Thalit in this instant.
Sumal gasped, and he quickly calculated in his mind what fleets of such strength were.
On this continent, the Xigang Empire has this strength, but this empire is an inland empire, his army is unparalleled in the world, but the navy is extremely weak, and the only royal navy that can take the shot also has to defend its own coastal defense line, and it is impossible to go around tens of thousands of nautical miles to attack a worthless city like Thalit.
Therefore, the Xigang Empire can be excluded, and the navy of the Falco Empire also has this strength, but this empire is currently in chaos, and it is impossible for them to have the spare strength to attack the Shila Empire, and even if they have this spare strength, they will not pick the chicken rib city of Thalit to attack.
In this way, the only fleet that Sumal could think of was the legendary pirate fleet that won the earth-shattering Battle of Cameroga with fewer strikes and fewer strikes!
"What are these guys doing in Shalit?" the question quickly rose in Sumar's mind.
Although he couldn't figure it out, no matter what, this pirate fleet could be called the great enemy of the Shira Empire, and he had a deep blood feud with them, and since they were sent to the door, there was no reason not to beat them hard!
Determined to wipe out the pirates, Sumar carefully did not follow, but sent a small boat to float far away on the sea, disguised as a fishing boat, to monitor the situation in the city.
The news from Shatlitt surprised and ecstatic Sumar, and the pirates were drinking and enjoying themselves!
Sumal slapped his palms heavily: "They didn't find us? That's great, let's avenge the blood feud of the Kameroka Sea Battle!"
By night, the Armada gradually approached to a place less than ten nautical miles from the harbor, and at this distance, the Armada began to hesitate.
Further on, the fleet on the sea can be seen with the naked eye, and there is a risk of being detected in advance, and with the strength of this fleet, it is very likely that they will react in time and break through their encirclement. But if it can go a little further, just enough that the Invincible Armada can form a fan-shaped encirclement, encircling the port solidly, like making dumplings, and sinking this fleet in a very short time.
"Do you want to go a little further and do it all the work, or do you just stop here and just cripple this fleet?" said Sumal muttered to himself.
After thinking for a while, Sumal resolutely ordered to keep approaching!
When they approached the harbor, which was only five nautical miles away, all the soldiers of the entire fleet were so nervous that their hearts were beating to their throats, and they all gathered around the cannons in the gun compartment, staring nervously at the harbor, and as long as the captain's order came down, they lit the fuse with the torches in their hands, and fired a thousand cannons in unison!
The distance of five nautical miles made it easy for the sailors on board to see with the naked eye how many ships there were in the harbor and how big they were.
Tang Jie himself did not expect that he would provoke the behemoth of the Invincible Armada when he temporarily attacked Shatlit, at this time he and his fleet were sleeping soundly, only a very small number of pirates were on duty, and the targets of their prevention were focused on the security of the city, and there was no defense against the threat from the sea behind them.
Sumar could clearly see a huge black warship moored in the harbor, larger than any warship he had ever seen, like a castle floating in the harbor.
He gasped and ordered: "This must be their flagship, and we will concentrate our firepower on this battleship and sink it first!"
"Yes, my lord. The first mate saluted, and excitedly spread the order throughout the fleet.
Soon, the battleship of the Armada finally adjusted its formation slightly and formed a fan, and almost all the cannons were aimed at the Black Dragon King, trying to sink the battleship in the first place!
Sumal stared at the Black Dragon King with a dead gaze, and after a long while, he resolutely ordered: "Open the cannon!"
At this time, the captains of the ships could no longer hold their voices, they shouted loudly, and for a time the shouts of cannon fire spread all over the sea, and then a red light flashed on the sea level, like the flashing lights of the ring field of a football field!
In just one round of shelling, thousands of cannonballs roared towards the Black Dragon King!
