Chapter 376 The Golden Post
“What? Raid the Golden Post of Cyrus?!”
When When Milan made this exclamation.
The entire group includes Alwin, Milan, Gary, “Iron Bone” William, two Arawak guides Zinaro and Paka.
In addition, there are 24 former excellent navies from the Cape Storm, fifty elite pirates from the Ironbone, and twenty temporarily recruited Arawak warriors.
A total of 100 raiding squads, armed with the best equipment from “Fort Dearborn”, took a smuggling merchant ship that looked unremarkable and had traversed the entire “yellow golden sea” Successfully landed on the Isthmus of Balboa.
And this is also the heartland of Cyrus Kingdom in the new continent!
Continuing to penetrate into this endless tropical rainforest for 20 kilometers, it was almost impossible to leak the news again, and Alwin informed his operatives about the destination and combat goal of this time.
It is to do something that no one has ever done before, or that many people want to do but never have the courage to do.
Go straight into the heart of Cyrus and loot the gold, silver and gems that have not yet been shipped from the west coast of the continent!
It’s no wonder that everyone, except the Arawaks who have a blood feud with Cyrus, has moved.
“Uh, he he he”
In the end, William “Iron Bone” did not escape the fate of selling himself. Cyrus Regular Army
He just felt like he was on a pirate ship, and one that would never get off again. If you follow Alwin to finish this vote, you will really only be able to hold this thigh tightly in the future.
William, who knows how to be worldly-wise and play safe, is thinking about the long term.
But including the elite pirates he brought, those warriors who had nothing but licked their blood with blood boiled one by one.
“Sir, really?”
“I’m going to fiercely kick the Cyrus ass!”
“”
After wandering around in the new continent for so long, whether it is the navy of other countries, pirates, or natives, who has not experienced the tyranny of the Cyrus people?
Looting their merchant ship far from the naval base is fine.
But directly robbing the gold and silver that Cyrus officially regards as the lifeblood is something that even the Pirate Kings have never done or dare not do.
The significance of this is second only to successfully capture the treasure fleet! If this deal is done, the privateer fleet, which does not even have a name, will amaze the world with a single brilliant feat!
Looking at everyone’s expressions, Alwin is very satisfied, this is what he wants.
Shock, excitement, excitement, disbelief
The stronger these emotions are at this time, when the time comes to truly accomplish the goal, the self-confidence, cohesion, and self-confidence also increase. will be stronger!
For privateer fleets without official salaries, the main benefit is spills of war, so a sufficiently attractive target can best stimulate team morale.
Using the current first battle of the grass stage team, it will start to create a miracle that can not be achieved by capable people.
Shape the “soul” of this team, and at the same time gradually infect the latecomers, in order to create an elite privateer fleet, not a group of mobs that bully the soft and fear the hard.
At least in Alwin’s “Overlord Disqualification Plan”, this privateer fleet is obviously going to go to the frontal battlefield. How can it be afraid of going against Cyrus at this time?
At this time, Alwin with a white mask on his face and dressed in a camouflage with grass blades and bark ordered: “Go ahead, and camp after ten kilometers!”
The people behind Do the same thing, do the camouflage and follow Alwin back into the rainforest.
The new continent is a bottle gourd with a long north and south pole, and the thinnest place in the middle is less than 700 kilometers. It is called the Isthmus of Balboa, which is where Alwin and they are now. It is mainly composed of rainforest, mountain range, inland sea, and river course.
On land, this area is sandwiched between the Viceroy of New Cyrus to the north and the Viceroy of New Granada to the south. On the west side is the Fragmented Star Sea, which is the strongest by Cyrus, and on the east side are naval bases, including Fort Navidad, where the new continent Naval Command is located.
All directions are all inherent forces of Cyrus. Although there are no settlements in the rainforest, it is also the real heart of Cyrus.
However, even Cyrus has ruled here for nearly a hundred years.
But in the midst of the intricate terrain of the Isthmus of Balboa, there is no way to find any way for ships to pass, and it is impossible to connect the east and west coasts.
Therefore, they generally transport the gold and silver produced by the Mystic Dragon, New Granada and New Cyrus by sea to the city of Balboa on the side of the Broken Star Sea.
It is then transported by mules and horses through the tropical jungles of the Isthmus of Balboa, transported to the port of Dios on the side of the yellow golden sea, and then shipped back to China by sea.
This forest road across the isthmus is called the “Golden Post Road”!
The invincible Cyrus fleet at sea may have capsized for various reasons, but on land, this “golden post road” has never had a problem.
Normal season.
After the Grand Fleet set sail in early spring, a small fleet would not set sail again until the autumn to return to Cyrus. Until then, this “Golden Post Road” will be activated.
But the current situation is obviously not enough for them to prepare calmly for more than half a year.
All the gold and silver in stock can only be shipped in advance to Dios on the side of the golden sea, and together with the looting proceeds during this period, they will be shipped back to China.
It also happened to give Alwin a chance.
Alwin, who has been eyeing here for a long time, has dispatched his own reconnaissance force to carry out all-round control since he received the authorization to establish a privateer fleet.
The limit detection range of each seabird can cover a circular area with a diameter of 50 kilometers. Only after seagulls form a network.
As long as Alwin thinks, he can lie in Hatrapa Port in the north of the Golden Sea, and he will be close to Balboa City on the broken Star Sea side three thousand kilometers away, taking in the entire scene!
Afterwards, after meeting with the Arawaks who had been guerrilla warfare with the Cyrus people for a long time, I got some information about the escort team from them, and finally finalized the action plan.
So.
From the feedback from the seagulls a few days ago.
Alwin found that in the city of Balboa on the other side of the isthmus, ships from the south and the north arrived at the port, and a large number of mules and horses were transferred.
After dispatching the seagull Spirit Physique to approach to detect the mysterious cargo packed in wooden boxes, it has determined that it is the target he is waiting for.
So seize the time to organize people to go straight to the “Golden Post Road”.
This kind of military supply department team marching in the mountains and forests, even if there is a simple post road built, but one day (only during the day) is dead, that is, the straight-line distance is 30 kilometers.
It will take them at least 20 days to walk through the Isthmus of Balboa.
in order to guard against the unexpected Alwin even came here to ambush more than ten days in advance, and no matter how careful the team is, they cannot escape the real-time monitoring of the seagulls.
This is the hegemony in the field of intelligence!
Bah!呲!呲!
In order to conform to the current “White Knight” character, Alwin did not use witchcraft, but Gary was responsible for clearing the way with a long knife in front.
Either the transcender or the elite of the ordinary person in the entire group successfully arrived at the campsite that Alwin had already selected before dark.
A flat ground with a living stream and sheltered hills as support was perfect for camping, and it was only seven kilometers from Alwin’s final ambush site.
When the Yunbao team was less than a day’s journey from the rainforest exit, they were caught by surprise!
“Set up camp, be careful, we need to stay here for half a month.”
At this time, Alwin and the others are not needed, and the physical work is naturally covered by his subordinates, which naturally reflects The gap between the three-way warriors’ ability to survive in the wild.
Alwin one after another watched.
Indigenous Arawaks were the undisputed number one, the pirates of the Iron Bones were the worst performers, and the army soldiers, who had undergone the necessary military training, were a little worse.
However, if it is changed to sea, the order is likely to be soldiers first, pirates second, and Arawaks third.
Comprehensive comparison, the army soldiers under his command have the highest fighting literacy.
Currently.
Alwin only left these 24 time-tested confidants. They followed Alwin for a long time. Their battle strength, experience, and knowledge are far from unorthodox ordinary pirates or natives can compare.
This group of people will become the backbone of the privateer fleet construction in the future, and those who perform well are likely to become the new privateer captains.
In addition, Alwin has carried out public-private separation from the very beginning, so that the pirates of the regular navy and the privateer fleet will not be mixed.
In the future, “Cape Storm” will be the ship of Commodore Alwin of the military, and “Day Star” will be the flagship of the privateer fleet.
It’s not long into the night.
After the run-in at first, the raiding team finally settled down in an orderly manner.
The physical exertion on the first day was relatively large, Alwin did not let them hunt, and a small amount of prey could not satisfy the consumption of hundreds of people.
It’s only half a month, and the dry food you carry is enough.
After a not too humble dinner.
snoring
The night-time manpower is arranged, and most of the people who run around all day fall asleep to the increasingly active calls of nocturnal animals in the rainforest.
But.
This is the first night in the jungle, obviously not ready to let these outsiders have too much peace.
It was close to midnight and the first change of the guard.
“Your Excellency Captain”
In a separate tent, Alwin, who was writing and drawing with several volumes of “Totem Warrior Training Method”, suddenly heard a sound from outside. A hasty call.
That was Baldwin’s voice among the 24 henchmen who followed him.
“I’m always called White Knight or Lord, what’s wrong?”
Alwin didn’t care much at first, because the seagulls didn’t give him any unusual feedback.
However, Baldwin’s next sentence made him completely unable to sit still.
“Sir, something has happened! When the guard was just changed, the number of people was counted, and the last group of secret whistle silently lost one!”
Whoosh——
The curtain rises like lightning.
“How is that possible?!”
