The Ming fleet made a slight move, and all parties immediately received the news.
Among the islands about forty miles east of the Maradi Sea, a small boat was moving crazily in the harbor.
While rowing hard, Salman shouted excitedly to Floz, who was also paddling on the other side: "Hey! Floz! Speed up, go faster, man, but don't let it go." This opportunity to make a fortune is gone!"
"Shut up!" Floz shouted loudly as he rowed hard: "Don't open your mouth, use all your strength in rowing!"
As soon as Floz said this, Salman, who was about to retaliate a few words, immediately shut up because he felt that what this guy said was right. Now row quickly and tell Su the news. Shma is the most important thing.
Thinking of the news, both Salman and Floz became excited.
All the armed ships in that fleet actually sailed away from this sea area, leaving only the five merchant ships. This was like naked women taking off all their clothes and appearing in front of tigers and wolves!
My Poseidon!
Is there anything more wonderful than this in the world?
of course not!
They would never have dreamed that in the morning they just went to check for news about this fleet as a routine, but they actually found out such big news. What a surprise!
At the same time, there was a night of carnival on the deserted island where pirates gathered.
The sleepy Sushma is receiving a mysterious guest.
This guest, dressed in gorgeous silks and wearing a precious gemstone ring, is Premki, the prince of Maradibon and Hamid's confidant butler.
Premji frowned and looked at the cave full of hungover pirates lying all over the place.
He shook his head at Sushma with emotion and said, "Sushma, how can you stay in a place like this? Otherwise, I will go back and talk to Prince Hamid and transfer you back!"
Premji and Sushma were retainers of the Maradi royal family from their ancestors.
The two have known each other freely since childhood, and have been working for Prince Hamid since they grew up. The two have always been the prince's confidants.
Later, after Maradi Lord Sitarama handed over the "Shark Teeth" to Prince Hamid, Hamid considered that he had to install his own confidants in this pirate force, so he sent a man with better fist and kick skills. Sushma becomes the leader of "Shark Teeth".
After that, Premji and Sushma got together less and less. Now Premji saw that the living environment where he grew up was so bad, and he couldn't help feeling a little distressed. That's why he said what he just said.
Unexpectedly, Fa Xiao, who was still sleepy at first, suddenly became excited when he heard this.
Sushma waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No! Don't! I haven't had enough of being a pirate in the past two years, so don't ruin my good deeds!"
The rules of Hamid's palace were quite complicated, but Sushma had a cheerful and outgoing personality, so her life in the palace was really difficult in those few years.
But since being sent out as a pirate by Hamid, Sushma immediately became energetic.
….
It's so wonderful to feel free and unrestrained while sailing proudly on the sea, calling friends, plundering merchant ships, and enjoying wealth.
He even felt that he was born to be a pirate!
At this time, when he heard that Fa Xiao wanted him to return to Prince Hamid's Mansion, he was naturally a hundred or a thousand unwilling!
Seeing that Sushma was determined to become a pirate, Premji could only shake his head helplessly.
Sushma also quickly changed the subject and asked: "Plemki, my brother, are you here to convey the prince's order?"
Speaking of business, Premji immediately became serious: "Yes, Prince Hamid asked me to convey his order to you, that is, you must not touch the huge fleet in the Maradi Sea under any circumstances. !」
Sushma was stunned at first, then
He shook his head helplessly: "Prince Hamid really thinks too highly of us! Although the strength of Shark Tooth is not weak, we are not arrogant! No matter how we dare to provoke such a powerful fleet, we are not arrogant enough. To the point of seeking death!"
At this point, Sushma's curiosity also aroused: "Such a large fleet does not leave or go ashore. It wanders around the sea all day long. What do they want to do? Does the prince have any information about this fleet? News about the fleet?"
Premji was hesitant to answer this question.
He once heard His Highness the Prince analyze the problems.
But Premji was a little hesitant to tell this young boy, but the prince didn't seem to have specifically mentioned that his analysis couldn't be passed on to others. In addition, Sushma was not an outsider, so it didn't matter if she wanted to tell him.
Feeling sure in his heart, Premji cleared his throat and said slowly: "The prince also said before that this fleet is probably here to escort those merchant ships. The reason why these days are here They are scurrying around on the sea, just for fear of being robbed by you again. Once it is safe, the armed ships in this fleet will most likely retreat!"
Sushma was stunned and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Escort the merchant ships? Poseidon, what on earth is in those merchant ships, so they actually used such a huge armed fleet!"
For a moment, Sushma had endless associations in her mind, and her heart felt like a hundred claws scratching her heart, itching so much!
The things in these merchant ships must be extremely expensive treasures. It would be great if you could get them yourself.
"Sushma, put away your greed!"
Prekim knew very well what kind of virtue he had as a child, especially since he had been a pirate for the past two years and his temper had become wild. Whenever he saw anything valuable, he wanted to snatch it from his pirate den.
Therefore, when he saw Sushma's eyes shining, he had to remind him: "Prince Hamid said that the merchant ships in this fleet are not allowed to operate in this sea area or go ashore to do business. If you touch them, you must ensure their safety!"
After Sushma heard this, she became slightly sober and could only nod regretfully: "Okay, okay! Prince Hamid's will is always supreme, and we must abide by it!"
Seeing Sushma telling the truth personally, Prekim breathed a sigh of relief. The things that needed to be done were done, and Prekim had no time to reminisce about the past, so he left the house in a hurry. Desert island.
….
As soon as Prekim left and Sushma was about to catch up on her sleep, she heard a shouting voice: "Chief Sushma, those damn armed ships have finally left!"
Sushma, who was lost in the lake and just about to close her eyes, suddenly became excited when she heard this.
He stood up suddenly and grabbed Salman: "What did you say? Say it again!"
Salman swallowed and said tremblingly: "All the armed warships in that fleet have left, leaving only five merchant ships still on the sea."
Sushma was stunned for a long time, let go of Salman, rubbed her sleepy face vigorously, and murmured to herself: "The prince was really right!"
Salman was a little confused. The leader just said something to himself. Although the voice was very low, he still vaguely heard it. The word seemed to be 'Prince,?
prince?
There are so many princes in the Southeast Asian countries. Which prince are you talking about?
Besides, this matter has nothing to do with the prince!
Although Shark Teeth is a black force under the Maradi city-state, it still does a good job in keeping secrets.
After many pirates were recruited, they just thought it was an ordinary pirate organization.
No matter how smart you are, you can at most guess that there is someone behind this shark-tooth pirate. As for the specific person and background, not many people know.
There are more than 500 pirates in the whole Shark Teeth. Apart from Sushma herself, the only ones who really know the details of their family are two high-ranking pirates.
Just when Salman was thinking about it
, suddenly there was another shouting voice outside the cave.
"Chief Sushma, the people on that fleet are going ashore!"
This time it was Achim who came to report the news.
Achim looked at Salman and Floz standing in front of Sushma, and both sides were stunned.
Since the last time Salman talked too much in front of Sushma without authorization, when Achim went out to explore the movements of the Ming fleet, he no longer took Salman and Froz with him, but Salman and Froz. The two of them were naturally unhappy, so they secretly went to investigate, and this strange scene appeared in front of them.
"What! Did you see clearly?" Sushma was shocked.
Naturally, he wouldn't care about the grievances between the few minions under his command. He only had one thought in his mind. Prince Hamid's analysis actually hit all the marks?
Doesn't that mean that all the factors that can pose a threat to ourselves in this fleet are gone?
Just when Sushma thought of this, she saw Salman affirming: "Chief, you can't be wrong. Those five big ships are sailing to the port. They are clearly about to go ashore. I will never be wrong. !」
Having said this, Salman changed his tone of confusion and said to Sushma: "The wealth in those five merchant ships must be greater than the combined wealth of the fleets we plundered before. There’s more to come, don’t miss this opportunity, it won’t come back again!”
Floz from behind also nodded crazily.
On the other side, Achim quickly objected: "No, leader! Although the remaining twenty-five ships seem to have left, no one can guarantee whether they will kill another one."
….
"Secondly, we have robbed three of Ming's fleets last month. If we rob Ming again this time, the frequency will be too high, and I am afraid it will cause Ming's dissatisfaction!"
"Furthermore, if these five fleets can hire such a huge fleet to escort them, their owner must be rich or noble in the Ming Dynasty. Once he is really angered, he is determined to cause trouble for us. As long as I’m afraid we may not be able to bear it!”
Listening to Achim's words, which were all opposed to attacking those five merchant ships, Salman finally became angry!
He no longer smiled and belittled Achim like before, but instead roared loudly: "Achim, I don't understand, you are a pirate! Do you know what a pirate is?"
"On the vast and boundless ocean, you use violence to rob other people's wealth! Beheading other people's heads, shrinking back and thinking about other things, you will starve to death as a pirate!"
"If you leave such a huge amount of wealth and don't try to snatch it away, is that still a pirate?!"
"If we don't want to reveal our identity, we can use the names of other pirates to rob it!"
Achim was stunned. It took him a while to react, and he shouted back angrily: "You bastard, how dare you..."
"That's enough! Shut up, everyone!"
Sushma looked at these three people fiercely, as if she wanted to eat them.
Immediately, the three of them silenced their voices honestly.
Sushma took a deep breath and suppressed the annoyance in her heart.
To be honest, he still agrees with Salman's statement. What are pirates? If they don't rob wealth or rob merchant ships, are they still called pirates?
But what Achim said was also very realistic. As the leader of Shark Teeth, he had to take all of this into consideration.
But the most important thing is the ban from Prince Hamid.
No matter what, he was prohibited from touching these merchant ships, and he also gave a clear answer that he would not move these merchant ships.
But now that he really knew that those merchant ships were unprotected, the fire of greed and wisdom in his heart could not be suppressed no matter what!
"In this case, you go ashore and take a look. Find out who these people who came off the Ming merchant ships are and what kind of goods they brought. Find out first, and then come back and tell me!"
In the tangle, Sushma could only come up with this compromise plan first.
In other words, take one step at a time and then discuss what to do.
Deal with it.
After hearing the leader's reply, the two groups of people had different reactions.
Salman and Floz were overjoyed.
Because this means that the leader still wants to do this job deep in his heart. As long as the leader has this intention, there is a great chance that this thing can be done.
Achim's face was full of worry. The leader had been blinded by greed. If this continued, sooner or later he would be buried in the sea with his brothers.
But no matter what the two groups of people think, since the leader's order has been given, he must quickly implement it.
. . . .
Maradi City.
The city-state lord, Sitarama, the indigenous prince of Maradi, sat on the throne with a sad face. The Ming fleet did not leave for a day, and the worry in his heart could not be erased.
There is no way, this is the tragedy of a small country.
Just when he was sighing secretly, he saw his eldest son, who was always arrogant and with his nostrils turned upward, hurried in.
Although he concealed it very well, he was still sensitive enough to notice it, and Hamid had a suppressed joy on his face.
But for some reason, although the eldest son looked happy, Sitarama's heart suddenly sank. He always had a bad feeling.
Hamid said in a cheerful tone: "Father, the Ming Dynasty's fleet has sailed into the port and is ready to disembark!"
"What!" Sitarama suddenly stood up from the throne in shock.
His voice was trembling as he said, "All thirty warships have sailed into our port?"
After saying these words, Sitarama felt despair.
Thirty warships, I wonder how many warriors are on them, can Maradi State be able to withstand them?
Can I, the king, still have a good ending?
Sitarama thought for a while, only to feel weak all over, even standing in front of the throne was a bit strenuous.
Unexpectedly, what Hamid said next made him a little confused.
