"Since they are not the navy of the nearby kingdom, then where did they come from?" The pirate leader of the Black Pearl muttered to himself in confusion and looked up at the Storm opposite, "Such a powerful navy is not An ordinary kingdom can have it.”
After hearing this, the pirate leaders of the Dauntless and the St. Venetian raised their heads to look at the Storm.
When the Storm saw it, it turned its head to look at the Warrior and the Rose.
The Warrior and the Rose coughed twice, and faced the three of them and said, "Regarding the origins of these people, the Storm and I exchanged information with each other. After communication and discussion, we believe that these navies may come from the Eastern Powers."
"A big country in the East?"
The Fearless, Black Pearl, and Saint Venetian all looked at each other in shock when they heard this.
The Saint Venezia seemed to be touched in her heart. After coughing twice, she couldn't wait to ask: "I have also heard the story of the great eastern country, but isn't that a legend?"
"It's not a legend." The Storm shook his head and said with great certainty, "In the past, with the interruption of the Silk Road, the news of the great Eastern countries was also lost in history. But in recent years, the sea route has suddenly emerged, and the silk, Porcelain, tea, etc. also began to appear again. The reason why I was able to learn about the great eastern countries again was because the people below sometimes plundered these precious goods. Haven't the pirates under your command robbed them?"
The Dauntless, the Black Pearl, and the Saint Venezia looked at the Tempest blankly, still digesting his news in their hearts. If the pirates under the Storm's command have robbed these things, there is no reason why the pirates under their command have not. But none of the three of them knew anything about it, so the only obvious result was that the pirates under their command also knew that these things were precious, and hid them when paying tribute without telling them.
Damn things, maggots in the gutter, shameful thieves, despicable frauds...
The three of them mentally greeted the pirates under their command.
Seeing the expressions of the three people, the Storm had almost guessed what was going on. But now is not the time to watch the three people's jokes, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's not mention these things for now. Let's talk about the navy outside first. They are parading back and forth outside like that, what should we do? what to do?"
The three of them remained silent. If they spoke rashly, they might be used as a knife, but they were not stupid.
Seeing this, the Warrior and the Rose spoke for the first time, "No matter where the navy outside comes from, whether they are from the surrounding kingdoms or the great eastern countries, we do not allow them to stay outside. Now they have seriously affected We have brought order to the pirate sea. If we continue to let it go, where is the majesty of our pirates? Where is the majesty of the Pirate King?"
"No matter who they are, kill them..." The Dauntless was indeed fearless, shirtless and said fiercely.
"Yes, they have affected the survival of the pirates. They cannot be left alone..." Although the Black Pearl did not deal with the Dauntless, it still echoed his words.
"I also agree to destroy them, but those naval forces are not so easy to destroy." Saint Venezia shrugged and said, "Therefore, I suggest that we gather all the pirates first and work together to destroy them. Anyway, those people They have only been patrolling outside for the past few days, and it seems that they will not escape in the short term."
After hearing this, Storm He, Warrior and Rose looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"Okay. I hope those people won't run away. If they do, it will be really difficult to surround them."
"Hahaha......"
...
"Aren't you worried that the pirates will escape?" Zhu Biao subconsciously picked up a chess piece and placed it randomly on the chessboard.
Han Du's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of surprise, and he started quickly, "Stop, let's eat!"
Zhu Biao looked at the chess piece that Han Du had taken away, and he didn't feel any regret in his heart. On the contrary, he was quite worried.
"I'm asking you, those pirates are not idiots. They will rush up when they see us coming. Let's just wait here. What if they escape?"
After finally almost winning against Zhu Biao, Han Du was in a good mood. In terms of chess strength, Han Du is naturally not Zhu Biao's opponent, but sometimes winning or losing does not necessarily depend on chess strength. For example, now, Zhu Biao is restless and worried about the pirates. How can he think about playing chess with Han Du?
At this time, Han Du asked him to play chess. Of course, he would have a great chance of winning.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, they won't escape."
"How do you know?" Zhu Biao still didn't believe it.
Han Du smiled and said: "Because it's hard to leave our homeland! For these pirates, the geographical location of this pirate sea is too advantageous. If they leave here, I'm afraid they won't be able to find another place with such a geographical location. A superior place. It might also expose them to the eyes of the kingdoms along the coast and send large armies to destroy them."
"And we are new here. Even if they want to escape, they will at least test our strength before they make a decision, right? Without even testing, who would be willing to abandon the family business and leave?"
The worries in Zhu Biao's heart calmed down a little, and then he asked: "How do you know they haven't tested us? Tiangu has seen a lot of pirate ships snooping around us these days. Maybe our situation is now covered by those pirates We’ve learned about it, and we’re discussing countermeasures.”
Han Du urged Zhu Biao to play chess quickly, and distracted him by saying: "Your Highness, don't worry, I deliberately let people let those pirate ships in. Otherwise, with the speed of our warships, they want to It’s impossible to get even close.”
"What on earth do you think?" After hearing Han Du's explanation, how could Zhu Biao care about the chess piece in his hand? After placing it randomly on the chessboard, he couldn't wait to look at Han Du.
When Han Du saw Zhu Biao making another stupid move, the smile on his face became brighter and he said, "Of course I want to attract them."
"Attracted?" Zhu Biao glanced at the flagship, recalled the appearance of those pirate ships, shook his head and said: "Our warship is so majestic and tall, I'm afraid it has scared away those pirates long ago, how can it still attract it? "
"No." Han Du said with great certainty, "We know what kind of power such a warship will have, but those pirates don't know. In fact, didn't His Highness notice it?"
"What did you find?" Zhu Biao asked in confusion.
Han Du said directly: "Those pirates actually prefer to use small ships. You must know that there are no big ships in the Western Ocean. But generally big ships are used to load cargo, and there are very few pirate ships."
Before Zhu Biao could continue to ask, Han Du explained: "This is because the speed of big ships in the sea is far slower than that of small ships. When pirates rob at sea, the most important thing is not to be powerful, but to be able to advance and retreat freely. In other words, the most important thing is not to be powerful but to be able to advance and retreat freely. , they grab if they can, and run if they can't. For them, speed is the most important. Because only with faster speed can they easily catch up with the merchant ship. And when they escape, they also You can retreat calmly.”
"Of course our warships are different. Our warships are built using special techniques and can take into account both load capacity and speed. But the pirates don't know this. As long as they think our speed is about the same as those merchant ships, those pirates will not If they are afraid of us, they will not run away, no matter what, they will test it first."
The navy of the Ming Dynasty only showed slow speed, while the pirates were fast. Then the pirates are equivalent to being in an invincible position. With such an advantage, no one will escape.
"So, these days you let people sail with only sails and all oars removed, just to confuse them?" Zhu Biao suddenly realized.
"What else?" Han Du glanced at Zhu Biao, picked up a chess piece and placed it directly on the cart, "Eat the cart!"
This was Zhu Biao's second rook. Once the rook was lost, Zhu Biao's move was helpless. Even if Han Du is worse and has the advantage of two cars, he can still checkmate Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao also came to his senses, and shook his head slightly knowing that he was helpless.
Han Du, on the other hand, looked like a villain who had succeeded, holding several chess pieces in his hands and playing with each other. He kept sighing: "Oh~ it's not easy, it's not easy... I've been fighting for so long, I can only win against His Highness in a handful of times, right?"
Zhu Biao smiled coldly: "What are you counting on one's fingers? You will also put gold in your face. Except for the fact that you beat me when I didn't know how to play at the beginning, have you ever won a game later?"
"Didn't you win now?" Han Du didn't care so much. Anyway, he was sure to win now.
"Did you win?" Zhu Biao smiled strangely.
Before Han Du came to his senses, he reached out and touched the chessboard. He was so open and aboveboard, without even a hint of concealment, and Han Du was dumbfounded.
"You, how can you cheat?" The chess piece in Han Du's hand quietly fell on the chessboard, he raised his finger and pointed at Zhu Biao, saying angrily.
Zhu Biao didn't even look at Han Du, and said contemptuously: "Didn't I learn this from you? Gu Cai flipped the chessboard once, how many times have you flipped it?"
"I don't care. Anyway, if I want to win, you can't lift the chessboard." Han Du was unwilling to accept it. He finally seemed to win, but Zhu Biao flipped the chessboard.
Zhu Biao looked at Han Du with a sneer, without taking Han Du seriously at all, and said, "If you are not convinced, we will continue here."
Han Du shrank his neck and thought, let's forget it. In this round, he just took advantage of Zhu Biao's uneasiness. If Zhu Biao got serious, Han Du would not be his opponent. There will be no outcome other than abuse.
