At this time, on the Atlantic Ocean, a small ship was cutting through the wind and waves.
But unfortunately, any wind blowing above the ocean can cause a storm.
It was enough to make this small ship feel the terror brought by the weather.
The man driving the ship was a man named Jones.
As a pirate, it was normal for him to sail the Atlantic Ocean.
However, for him, he would never choose to sail in such weather unless necessary.
Yes, this was not the bad weather he encountered after his voyage.
But he chose to sail in such unlucky weather.
In fact, the development of the piracy industry is very promising now. Countries are busy fighting wars everywhere. There is no time to care about pirates now.
And now, shipping is developed, and many merchants rely on shipping to do business.
There is a lot of wealth on these merchant ships. Even if there is no wealth, there is still cargo. If there is no cargo, there is still a ship.
There's nothing you can't buy.
In addition, it is very easy to sell stolen goods now. Europe is in a war period, and basically all materials are needed, even ships.
Some pirates even took up the business of robbing a ship, then selling the ship to the same person, and then robbing it again.
In short, apart from the possibility of death, the current pirate industry is basically a profitable business.
It is an industry with huge dividends.
But it is such an industry for Jones, who is ready to make a fortune.
He's in trouble.
Yes, when no country had time to manage pirates, Jones was actually wanted by Sweden.
The reason was that he robbed the Swedish arsenal and granary in Hamburg.
He was offered a high reward, which aroused the jealousy of his peers.
While there is no danger from governments, Jones faces threats from his own peers.
There are people who specifically dare to hunt pirates, that is, tell these pirate hunters.
Jones was stunned when he learned the news.
He is a big pirate, but not a qualified big pirate.
The reason is that few people listen to him at all.
After Jones learned the news, he was decisive.
Then it became what it is now.
Watching the thunder rolling in the sky, the dark clouds gathering, and the violent wind rising, Jones felt calm inside.
It is much better to die at sea than to die at the hands of your peers.
The rolling waves rolled up on the sea level and rushed towards the small boat.
Jones lay completely flat. He had never seen anyone survive such a terrible storm.
There were originally five crew members on the ship, but five of them wanted to kill Jones and use his head in exchange for a high bounty.
Jones took them out.
There are not enough crew members on the current ship to steer the ship.
The waves were pounding, and the ship seemed to be swaying in the rain.
A gust of wind blew by, and lightning and thunder thundered in the sky. Jones knew that he was dead and lay completely flat.
But as the waves surged, a violent impact caused Jones, who was lying flat, to move.
It was definitely hitting the rocks, but after a while, Jones instantly realized the folly of his idea.
The ship did not sink.
He looked outside through the cabin window and saw an island covered with ice and snow.
Jones was stunned, then cheered and danced wildly.
He immediately rushed off the boat, looked at the endless island, and fell into a frenzy, shouting that he was saved.
However, in the next few days, Jones felt the luck brought to him by the goddess of fate. This was a desert island with no original inhabitants.
The island is covered by large areas of vegetation, but now it looks like a sheet of ice and snow.
Jones named it Iceland after him.
He had heard the story of Columbus, and apparently he discovered the New World just like Columbus.
There are definitely treasures on this island that have not yet been mined.
The temptation is endless for pirates like Jones.
If you can develop it yourself, this island will contribute unexpected wealth to you.
After thinking of this, Jones felt that a better life was beckoning to him.
But the most urgent task to be solved now is to trick people into serving themselves.
Jones instantly thought of a good place to cooperate with Britain or France.
They have a business of selling black slaves in Africa. They only need a small amount of money to get a large number of black slaves to serve themselves.
After thinking of this, Jones's thinking gradually became clear. He wanted to return to Europe and talk to people in these two countries about black slaves.
…
At this time, Hannover.
Ling Chen, who once impersonated Jones, is now commanding the Long Yan Army in combat.
The Holy Crusaders have been surrounded by them.
The thirty-man Dragon Flame Cavalry has now cut off the supply line of the Holy Crusaders.
The Holy Crusaders are now trapped in the towns of Hanover.
Ling Chen looked at the map and studied the next attack plan.
But he sneezed out of nowhere.
"General, although the weather has warmed up, it's still cold now. You should keep warm." Diana expressed concern.
Ling Chen glanced at Diana and said, "It's okay, let's leave the soldiers with less charcoal. They need it more than we do on the front line."
Diana wanted to say something else, but she knew Ling Chen's temper and kept it straight.
What he decides will never be changed.
Ling Chen looked at the map and said, "Diana, do you have any good suggestions on the route to attack the Holy Crusaders?"
Diana looked at the map. The Holy Crusaders are now entrenched in a triangle, but they have been trapped in the city by the Dragon Flame Army. As long as they defend the city gate and launch an attack without shells, it will still be difficult to win.
As for discussing an attack route, it is not of much use at all. The Holy Crusaders in this area have blocked all possible places for surprise attacks.
"The current defense of the Holy Crusaders can be said to be impeccable. If we want to break the city, I can only attack hard."
"However, the general has cut off the supply line of the Holy Crusaders. I believe that the effects will be apparent soon. By then, will the Holy Crusaders be self-defeating?"
Ling Chen shook his head: "Cutting off the supply line means cutting off their supplies."
"But the Holy Crusaders' food reserves are still quite abundant. They harvested a lot of food in Prague before."
"Maybe these Holy Crusaders are still around, and a war of attrition can be fought."
"But things will change later."
"Now our cavalry has launched operations behind enemy lines. The Holy Crusaders have also been very impetuous in the past few days. This is a good opportunity for us to attack."
Ling Chen looked at the map, facing these three impregnable cities, and thought of the unprecedented attack launched by the Longyan Army in Saxony, using gliders.
"It would be great if we could attack from the sky."
