In the early morning, the storm that had raged for half the night finally passed, but the tired Port of Trinidad had not yet woken up from the dark night.
Members of the town guard, rubbing their sleepy eyes, came out of the barracks and bars and began to go to the port for their shift.
The shipowners, who had been anxious all night, had been waiting on the dock early, urging the sailors to drive the boats and take them to the ship. They were busy climbing up and down the boat, sometimes wiping the impact marks on the edge of the boat with their sleeves, and loudly cursing the bastard who failed to tie the boat; sometimes they took out some damaged things from the cabin, seemingly generous Divide them among the sailors.
Since last night's storm was a bit anticlimactic, the losses to the various ships in the port were not great, so they could still happily greet each other in the morning.
"God, what happened to that ship?" a ship owner shouted.
At this time, the morning sunlight had just shone into the port, and two ships, one large and one small, sailed in against the light. Only when they were close could everyone see clearly. The boat in front was still in good condition and looked like a new boat that had been launched less than a few months ago. But the old-fashioned Galenic sailing ship following behind looked quite miserable—Jesus on top, its entire butt was missing!
It's not like the storm did it.
The experienced captains observed the passing Galen ship "Obstacle". When they discovered that it was caused by a naval battle, they couldn't help but marveled. Hanging out in the Caribbean. Everyone knows more or less about naval battles. After a naval battle, the two ships would often fire dozens of salvos at each other. Only then can the winner be determined. At that time, both the winner and the loser were scarred. Like this, other parts were intact, but the buttocks were hit several times - how stupid do you have to be to suffer such trauma? It really seemed like he was stuck in place, pouting and being beaten.
This situation has never been seen before.
At this time, a businessman recognized the "Barrier" as a pirate ship, so the rumor quickly spread and the onlookers left in a hurry. certainly. Others who were trying to get the bounty quietly notified the port guard.
So when Lu Yuan got off the boat, what he saw was about twenty heavily armed town guards, raising their halberds towards him.
"Who can tell me what the fuck is going on?!" Lu Yuan, dressed in aristocratic clothing, stood on the wooden approach bridge. He roughly lifted up his rolled-up leather boots. Just kick the halberd at your feet away. Then he stopped where he was, frowning, and looking around with disgust. He did not move forward simply because some dirty person did not get out of the way... The longer he pretended to be a noble, the more he understood the philosophy of nobility and the art of barbarism.
When I saw the young man coming off the boat, he turned out to be a nobleman based on his attire and behavior! The leader of the team trembled in his heart. He glanced at someone in the crowd fiercely, then immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "Do you need any help? Sir! I see your ship..." He pointed to the "Obstacle" following behind, "It looks like the situation is not good. Did you encounter pirates?"
At this time, the informer in the crowd was obviously unwilling. He instigated another soldier to come over with the port registration document, and the captain took it impatiently. I looked at the content above - it clearly recorded that the two ships in front of me, the "Obstacle" and the "Princess" did not belong to the same noble, or even the same ship owner, and they had both been suspected of having Piracy…
The squad leader raised his head and saw Lu Yuan gently patting his sleeves with his hat, with an expression that was half-smiling. Immediately, he tore up the port records and documents without hesitation, and then threw them on the soldier's face!
"Next time you bother me talking to the distinguished gentleman, get out of the guard! I don't need soldiers who don't obey orders!"
After hearing his reprimand, the soldier left the queue angrily, and suddenly struck the informer who was mixed in the crowd with a halberd! The informer screamed, and several other guards came over and started to beat him.
The team leader acted as if he hadn't seen anything. He turned around and stood on the edge of the trestle with a smile, waiting for Lu Yuan's instructions.
At this time, there suddenly was another commotion behind the crowd, and a woman shouted loudly, "Get out of here! You stinky guys! And there are guards?! Who asked you to surround me here! Let you Commander..."
"Elizabeth!" The young nobleman in front of him suddenly raised his voice and called the woman's name.
Immediately, the team leader stared dumbfoundedly at the woman who had been yelling just now. Now she immediately turned into a girl and rushed towards the young man "shyly". Of course, before she pounced, the surrounding citizens, sailors and guards had all been driven away by the soldiers she brought, clearing a path for her.
Elizabeth pulled Misha and walked quickly onto the trestle.
The squad leader lowered his head thankfully and backed up to get out of the way.
He remembered that this woman, the mayor's guest these days, had an extremely curious temperament. She led the mayor's guards and harassed almost every place in tiny Trinidad, but the town government seemed not to notice.
"Wait," Lu Yuan stopped him, "What's your name," he asked.
"Lilda", the team leader immediately stood up straight and replied happily. If he just didn't want to cause trouble before, it's obvious that something good has happened to him now.
"Lilda, do me a favor." Lu Yuan took out a stack of papers and handed it to him. "Help me get this taken care of, and then you'll know where to find me."
After Lilda took the stack of papers, he had just flipped through a few pages when a shuddering feeling instantly hit his body! He glanced at Lu Yuan in awe, and then turned over the pages tremblingly...
"xxx, pirate captain, the reward is 4,400 pesos."
"xxx, pirate, reward is 2,100 pesos."
…
"xxx, pirate, reward is 15 pesos."
…
A thick reward of more than fifty copies! The neat wanted list was held in his hand like a book, but it was like a pile of rocks, weighing him down so much that he couldn't breathe! This noble... He couldn't help but take a step back. If possible, he even wanted to run away and never stay here again. Even though Collier was promoted to squad leader, he swore he hadn't even hurt anyone! When he thought about holding fifty lives in his hands, he felt like vomiting!
Just when his mood was ups and downs, unexpectedly, the noble took off his gloves and patted his shoulder hard, "Collier, they are pirates. They have hurt many people and are planning to rob someone." A nobleman."
"Yes, distinguished sir." Although this was not a comfort, unexpectedly, Lilda suddenly felt much better.
"Come to the mayor's official residence tomorrow, I think I can find you a better seat. I will be in and out of Trinidad often in the future, and I will always have an acquaintance to help me with things, and I don't want to encounter this kind of trouble again. ...Okay, you go ahead."
Watching Lilda leave, Lu Yuan thought of the pirates who were temporarily placed in the wild bay. By this time tomorrow, their identities should have been cleared, and there would be an acquaintance to take them in and out of Trinidad. Hong Kong should not be a problem.
****
"your!"
Elizabeth rushed over, quickly pushed Misha into his arms, and jumped onto the "Siren".
There are now less than twenty sailors on the two ships. These are all people with clean backgrounds and no bounties on their heads. The rest, including August, were waiting in the wild.
"Come and see our ship!" Lu Yuan smiled, picked up Misha, and returned to the "Siren".
Lu Yuan took Misha on a tour, and after Elizabeth had finished going crazy, the three of them sat down and discussed the next thing carefully.
First of all, the Galen ship must be sold as soon as possible!
Because Lu Yuan had very little money left in his pocket. On the wild beaches he dealt directly with matters of demobilization and recruitment.
In the end, there were about 150 people left, most of whom were members of the "St. Andrews". As pirates who were impressed by the gentlemanly demeanor of the "Siren", their impression of Lu Yuan it's the best. Secondly, some members of the "Obstacle" also stayed behind. Except for those who returned eastward with Lin Beiyuan, the rest planned to organize a new pirate group on their own. Lu Yuan did not hold back. The number of sailors he could afford now was only about 120.
As for the original members of the "Siren", unfortunately, all except Auguste and Jacques took the money and left. They had the dividends from capturing the "Obstacle", so their work was not in vain. As for continuing to serve the devil... what a joke!
"Leave it to me!" Elizabeth said confidently, "If you sell it with 20 cannons, I can sell it directly to Nene's brother for the price of the intact ship! You know, he dreams of building a fleet of his own! This It is a Galen that is already armed and can be used with a little repair. Believe me, he can empty out the warehouses of Trinidad for this ship! As for how to repair the ship, let him figure it out himself. "
"Okay, you are finally of some use." Lu Yuan teased, "Then the remaining problem is the Kraken. The name needs to be renamed. Now it is modified by magic, and it won't last long. In addition, there is Misha. Come to check the supplies. Elizabeth will help clear the bounties on a group of people. Also, if you need it, I will give you the captain's cabin.
You can find a shipyard to modify it yourself..."
Misha and Elizabeth looked at each other and said happily: "Of course!" Then they got into the captain's cabin together.
Lu Yuan only had time to shout, "Don't go too far!"
