Chapter 425 Clues
The night is heavy.
The dark clouds and drizzle under the low pressure in the sky perfectly covered the subtle movements from the sea.
A three-masted pirate ship with a much lower deck construction than normal ships, and two long and narrow brig privateers, quietly approached the shore of a large island through the drizzle.
Not far from the shore, is a small town full of Cyrus style, and their purpose is self-evident.
“Captain, it’s coming to Holkin Island soon.
However, this rain is really weird today. While it does benefit our covert sneak attack, The storm bottle clearly shows that there is no rain at night.”
On the “Wrestler” with the black dragon head flag, the middle-aged navigator in a leather raincoat found the captain Alec and told him The current location of the pirate ship is reported.
锵——
In the captain’s cabin, the old pirate Alec, whose mental state has been completely refreshed compared with the past, put the exquisite scimitar that had just been maintained with animal fat into the sheath , tied around his waist.
“Okay, I see. Imitations aren’t real marine treasures after all, and it’s possible to miss something. Is there a signal from our sentinel?”
He doesn’t particularly care about the weather, as long as it doesn’t have much impact on tonight’s actions.
“Captain, there was no problem with the last contact before nightfall, they’ve already identified some of the most valuable targets in the town.
Don’t worry, it’s all carefully selected. The selected elites will not let us miss any gold coin!”
This is a collective action to gather three pirate ships in the pirate group at one time, and the most important thing is that the target is attractive enough. While the captain is in high spirits, he is of course cautious enough.
“That’s good!”
A few minutes later, the three battleships docked smoothly.
The pirates of the Marine Corps have completed their assembly, and each was given a glass of rum and poured it down for themselves.
Alec stood on the bow and waved his hand:
“Okay, finish drinking and go!”
“roar!”
Alcoholism is of course not good, but a moderate amount of alcohol can stimulate the morale and courage of warriors, and has become a must-have item before pirates loot.
It is said that this tradition originated from the armies of various countries in the era of queuing and shooting.
Then.
crash-bang
In addition to the necessary left-behind personnel on the three ships, a large group of pirates with a total of more than 200 people arrived with muskets that had been equipped with rain cover in advance. ashore.
However, this pirate team is obviously different from other pirate counterparts. Under the restraint of a group of pirate cadres, they lined up neatly to complete the assault formation before swooping towards the town with faint lights.
There is no doubt that this is the habit brought from the army by the backbone of the former sea army soldiers, which has been inherited and carried forward here.
At the foot of the island, Olgin Island, also located in the northern part of the yellow golden sea, belongs to the occupied area of the Cyrus kingdom. It is very rich because of its rich cane sugar and tobacco.
And due to being alone overseas, the difficulty of looting is much smaller than that of the towns in the four vice-king districts.
Since the head of the regiment, Knight, has delegated power, the pirate cadres have given full play to their subjective initiative and acted independently.
This is the place of action chosen very carefully by the captain of the “Wrestler” pirate ship, Alec, who led his direct subordinates to select very carefully.
At present, with the continuous growth of the pirate group, the internal competition is of course more and more fierce.
Everyone wants to be valued by the leader of the Legendary pirate White Knight, even if they don’t know that their leader has been promoted to the third rank for the time being.
During this period, privateering activities led by the anti-Cyrus alliance at sea intensified.
But the sea is too vast, and Cyrus’ colony is too rich.
Even though countless aspiring youths threw themselves into the carnival of hunting Cyrus, they didn’t feel that the Merchant ship of Cyrus had decreased in the slightest.
Because the sea route of this era is a golden river flowing with gold, and no ship owner is willing to give up.
Even if there are more pirates on the sea route, the risk is higher than before.
But take the slave trade with 600% profit, plus the cost of ship personnel, etc., as long as one of the three ships can reach the destination safely, it is a big profit for them.
Even if there is a small loss, they don’t take it seriously.
Of course, the increase in defenses and the scale of the fleet is obvious.
Although it is still not the opponent of the “Dragoon Pirates”, after several successful raids, the ambitious pirate captains are no longer satisfied.
Today, Alec and his subordinates chose to sack this wealthy town, in preparation for World War I to be the top pirate cadre in the “Dragoon Pirates”!
“Send out the signal and let the sentries come out to respond.”
Ta Ta Ta Ta Ta
Under the infinite attraction of wealth, the excited pirates are like The torrent, in an overwhelming imposing manner, rushed into the low-walled town.
“Haha, hand over all your treasures to me!”
“Uha! Come out and receive”
“en? People?”
The pirates who rushed into the town seemed to be suddenly flashing their waists and howled, preparing to fight with the militia guards guarding the town.
It was found that the entrance to the town was empty, not even a guard in charge of guarding. Looking around, the entire main road in the center of the town is completely empty.
And after the signal was released, the friendly sentry who should have come out to respond was also completely absent.
“Something’s wrong!”
Alec, who has been a pirate for half his life, not only did not have the excitement of the mouse entering the rice jar, but instead lifted his heart instantly because of this unusual scene.
Look at the town again.
In the wet and cold drizzle, the gas lamp hanging at the door cast a dim yellow light. The moss that covered the corners of the walls was like weird mildew, and it was going to devour the town little by little.
The town is pitch-dark, and only a few buildings are dimly lit. Through the rain curtains flickered, like some kind of monster’s mocking eyes.
I listened carefully, there was no sound except for the sound of rain, as if the whole town was empty.
However.
It’s impossible to get a pirate to give up a fortune he’s about to get, and a little anomaly won’t scare him.
Besides, even if Alec wanted to retreat, those red-eyed subordinates could not agree.
If these guys knew how to restrain their desires in the first place, how could they have chosen the profession of pirates in the first place?
“Sparrow, do you think there’s a problem?”
About this kind of weirdness, of course, ask a professional. Alec stretched out his left hand and asked about the parasite whose eyes slowly opened.
“Well, in my perception, the people in the town are still there, but they seem to be asleep.”
The parasitic in Alec’s left hand Although Sparrow does not have an independent body, with the existing strength, it can be used as a half official wizard.
The credibility of his words is still there, and Alec also let go of his vigilance a little.
“Go! Go door to door, there’s no bank here, they may have buried gold coins in the yard, don’t forget to find it.”
“Hahaha, don’t worry, Captain. !”
“We have experience!”
Hearing the command, like a hungry wolf smelling blood, the pirates took the three as a squad and rushed into the town quickly .
Under Alec’s personal leadership, a team of more than a dozen fully armed elites went straight to the most gorgeous house in the center of the town, which was obviously the home of the mayor.
Bang——
The courtyard door was kicked open with one foot, and a group of uninvited guests swarmed in like a wolf like a tiger.
Some people head straight for the master bedroom of the house, and experienced robbers know that’s the most likely place to hide the owner’s property. Some headed straight to the garden, looking for gold coins that might have been buried in earthen jars.
However.
What made Alec more and more strange was that even though his entire group made such a big noise, the people in the house still didn’t wake up.
Somewhat uneasy.
I personally pushed open the bedroom door on the second floor and saw the bloated mistress lying on the bed. Obviously, the mayor’s food was good.
However, the mayor is not here.
dong dong dong
Knocked on the door, but the other party still didn’t move.
Then he stepped forward to check and found that the other party seemed to be in a nightmare. Even if he opened her eyelids, there was no sign of waking up.
Occasionally weird things happen in the new continent, and the town apparently suffered some anomalous events before their arrival and is now completely incapacitated.
It just happened to be cheaper for them.
Obviously the other pirates in the town noticed this too, and no one could stop them, and many of them had already started violent demolitions.
Alec couldn’t take care of it anymore, and his opponents waved:
“Start!”
In the room, there was a bang. rummaging through boxes.
Wow wow wow
Then bags of gold coins were found.
Alec didn’t do it himself, but reminded Sparrow to pay attention to the movement around him, and at the same time he drew his machete, cautiously guarding against possible accidents.
Because of the root cause of this anomaly in the town, it is still unknown whether he has left or not.
Suddenly, in the rainy night.
“wang wang wang ”
“gā gā gā ”
“huhuhu ”
in the sky like the barking of a dog The sound of crows, or the roar of the storm, suddenly entered the ears of everyone in the room.
Bang——
Alec, who was already vigilant, immediately pushed out the window and looked out, with a faint light flashing in his eyes.
【spirituality vision】
The unique vision given to him by Sparrow allows Alec to easily see the scene outside the town through the dark night.
In the sugar cane forest outside the town, there seems to be a dark cloud that does not disperse, and it seems to be a darkness that condenses into reality.
And on the edge of the town, a group of seven or eight guys in different clothes were staggering slightly towards the sugar cane forest outside the town.
Among them were the well-dressed upper-class people in the town, guards in militia uniforms, and dragoon sentries who had disappeared before.
However, their bodies are slightly bloated now compared to normal people.
Especially around the neck, three or five human-sized folded sacs grew, exuding a disgusting black-green aura.
“Hi! This is”
Alec’s eyes widened instantly.
Imperial Family Colony East Lunch, Port Raleigh.
Alwin sits in a cosy spruce-wood café with a fragrant coffee in one hand and a gold talisman inlaid with turquoise in the other.
This is his transaction through the middleman “White Knight” and the yellow golden sea pirate king “Dead Bone” Rudolph.
The price is the corpse of the third rank Totem Warrior and the ocean treasure “ghost cloak”.
Still, in Alwin’s view, the deal was a big hit.
It is said that some time ago in the mountain range of Cordillera, a sea hunter discovered a complete temple of Sun God Inti enshrined in the Gashna Empire, which contains countless remnants of the Gashna Empire. ‘s treasure.
And “Dead Bones” Rudolph was also one of the participants in that event.
Although the focus is mainly on the golden crown of the emperor of the Gashna Empire.
But in fact, this thing is actually the most precious thing,【Super Amulet·Inti Eye】, the surface is a gold amulet with one vertical eye inlaid with turquoise.
This talisman has a similar ability to legends that the descendants of the Sun God have the ability to be reborn in fire.
Effect: No matter what kind of damage the body takes, it will be reborn in the golden flame released by the amulet. And the soul is not the domain that Inti is in charge of, and it is ineffective to be injured.
A marine treasure plus a third rank powerhouse corpse for an extra life is certainly worth it to Alwin.
If it weren’t for these two things being too attractive to Rudolph “Dead Bone”, he would have traded this treasure out.
After playing for a while and then putting away the talisman, Alwin didn’t forget the business of the day.
At this time.
Outside the cafe, Milan, a handsome and suave nobleman in casual clothes, was walking over with an indigenous girl talking and laughing wearing a short leather armor, revealing a large area of wheat-colored delicate skin.
A discerning person will know when you see it The relationship between them is unusual, and at least in terms of appearance, they are a perfect match.
Alwin couldn’t help taking a sip of the coffee in his hand, glanced at Warrant Officer Roddy, who was sitting next to him and was acting as a temporary attendant, and comforted himself with the spirit of Ah Q:
‘ The whole world is full of the sour smell of love, only our body exudes the fragrance of single dogs. ‘
