[Read the latest chapter] The treasure fleet on the northern front was tortured by pirates all day long, and finally waited until nightfall.
In this era, because there are no searchlights, sonar, or radar, night flying is very dangerous. Moreover, everyone relies on the naked eye to aim artillery battles. Night battles... are of course even more unrealistic. If you engage in artillery battles at close range, , no matter how you look at it, it looks like they are perishing together.
So after nightfall, the northern fleet could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Everyone organized the fleet into a loose circular formation and then dropped anchor. The pirates also disappeared into the night, and it was expected that they would not be seen until the next day.
The Northern Route Treasure Fleet actually does not have much oil and water, gold is limited, and silver is large in quantity but not cost-effective, and transportation is particularly difficult... As for those specialty products, only Europeans regard them as good things, and Caribbean people see them too much. Therefore, all the fleets of the great powers go to the southern front to gnaw their bones. Only pirates will stare at the northern fleet! They are not doing it for money, they are doing it for the fame of "robbing a Spanish treasure ship"!
The commander of the Northern Front, Kalkaz, knew this very well. He even knew that if no pirates succeeded in the past two days, all kinds of dirty tricks would be launched one after another - some disguised as shipwreck personnel, some poisoning at the port Ah, what about digging at the bottom of a ship at night...wait a minute, that's definitely how despicable it is.
At four or five o'clock in the morning, Karkaz, who could no longer sleep, put on his clothes and led his guards onto the deck. He rotated around the deck in the evening breeze, looking at the dark sea, which looked like lights. The lights floating on the water. Although he could not see them, he knew that they were all ships under his command. In terms of ability, none of ten Ferdinandos could compare to a little finger of Karkaz; but in terms of background, ten None of them could compare to Ferdinando's sister's snow-white butt shaking in front of Carlos II.
Therefore, he considered himself unlucky and worked diligently to lead the Northern Front Treasure Fleet. No one except Carlos II knew the ambition of Spanish Governor Leblanc. The position of commander of the Southern Front Fleet was a crater. Only those who relied on nepotism to get to the position Only Ferdinando would think it was a good opportunity to make a fortune.
Karkaz continued to patrol. But in the darkness that he could not see, a ship appeared quickly in the southeast of the fleet. After the ship arrived, it suddenly slowed down before entering the fleet's warning circle. Her sails and hull have dark and dark stripes, which can be well hidden in the night. And she is quietly approaching the fleet.
After approaching the fleet, a black smoke like sea fog rose up from the long and narrow hull, covering the hull. This black smoke seemed to be able to absorb any light reflected from the hull, making the battleship Can't see clearly even at a very close distance.
The battleship did not have wind lanterns hung on the front, rear and four corners of the ship. She did not seem to be afraid of collisions... What's more, in the night, she seemed to be able to see the same thing. She passed by the gaps in the ships nimbly, all the while. Move forward until you slowly enter the core group of ships.
Some ships saw dark shadows passing by the sides, and some heard sounds. Even fleet commander Kalkaz heard the sound of water flowing from ships. But when he and the guards lay on the side of the ship, holding a lantern forward, , I opened my eyes hard, but still saw nothing.
After a while, even the sound disappeared.
"Let's steal it out!" Lu Yuan said, pointing to a certain ship in the fleet.
The "Elona" sneaked into the array of battleships like a ghost. She finally chose an inconspicuous Galen ship and docked almost right next to it.
The sailors on duty on the ship felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground helplessly.
There were two great masters, Lu Yuan and Li Huamei, who were flying on the deck like two Sichuan butterflies. They almost effortlessly eliminated the sailors patrolling the deck. Then Li Huamei held a sword to guard the cabin, and Augustus Te led the stormtroopers to board the ship and slowly rolled up the anchor first.
"Who is it?" Someone shouted loudly, but before the words could be spoken, his life was taken away by a shining long sword. Li Huamei made a safe gesture, she knew that Lu Yuan had a pair of night eyes that could see .
There were also commotions in the surrounding ships, but no one could find the source of the commotion. Because Lu Yuan had already driven the Galen sailing ship away from its initial position. He carefully maneuvered the heavy merchant ship, twisting and turning. The ships sailed through the gaps, finally sailed out of the circle before dawn, and parked outside the fleet.
Lu Yuan stood at the hatch and threw seven or eight "Sleep Techniques" downwards in a row. Then he stood by the hatch and made a gesture of invitation to Christina and August. Christine Na happily poked August with her scabbard and rushed in first, followed by hundreds of stormtroopers...
When it got dark, pirate ships began to appear around. But something happened that made Kalkaz extremely angry and unbelievable!
His ship, a standard Galenic sailing ship without any markings, was the only ship in his entire fleet that was filled with gold and was hidden by him in the forest! He was actually driven to the outskirts of the fleet without him knowing it!
That's not all, but that damn Eastern pirate is actually standing behind the rudder on the poop, manipulating his ship. And the sides of the tall Galen ship are filled with captured sailors. That guy and another A pirate ship called "Elona" sailed in a full circle around the circle in a mighty manner! Every time they walked a short distance, they would leave behind a group of crew members. As a result, when he threw all the Spanish sailors on the ship into the sea, the whole sea was full of Spanish screams...
Kalkaz covered his forehead and barely restrained his anger! This scene made him a little helpless.[,! ] He. He could only send a small boat to follow and rescue the crew members who were struggling in the sea. This scene looked too much like a trap set by pirates to lure him into revealing his flaws, and then the wolves swarmed him! He had seen many of these provocative methods in the Mediterranean, so he did not dare to rush into fleet pursuit. Unfortunately, he came from Spain after all and did not understand the situation in the Caribbean... The "Elona" has always been a single ship. .
The "Opera House" completed her glorious journey and made a full circle around the Northern Fleet! But the Spaniards didn’t even dare to move!
Seeing this scene in front of them, the surrounding pirates roared like crazy, feeling that the Spaniards were not worth mentioning! They were wielding scimitars and muskets, and they couldn't wait to learn how to do it! What made Kalkaz happy was that his men were also humiliated with red eyes, waiting for a big fight!
"You made the wrong idea!" Karkaz thought to himself, and he spread the fleet to both wings to lure the pirates forward.
However, everyone at the "Opera House" adhered to the principle of taking advantage and running away, and ignored his show of weakness at all! Lu Yuan drove the Galen ship to carry August and his stormtroopers, while the rest stayed on the "Elona" helmed by Li Huamei.
When the ship reached a downwind position and accelerated to about ten knots... In full view of everyone, the captain of the Galen ship, the "magician" of the "Opera House", stood on the tall poop of the ship and gestured. A strange posture - like the magician on the lion! Then the Galenic sailboat, which was sailing downwind, suddenly accelerated to lightning speed and shot into the distance like a ray of light!
Everyone felt that in the blink of an eye... Lu Yuan and the boat had disappeared.
Among everyone's extremely surprised gazes, only the "Elona" pursued it leisurely in the direction where Galen's ship disappeared.
