Chapter 905 Sunset in Carthage
On the blue Caribbean Sea, scattered islands are like turquoise emeralds inlaid on a dark blue gemstone. The weather is capricious this season. The fleet that has just broken through the rainstorm area, and there is another bright calm sea in front of us. Fortunately, Aken found that in the storm, as long as the fleet approached the St. Mian, they could also enjoy the protection of some sacred ships. No matter how big the wind and waves were, they would reduce several levels so that everyone could survive safely.
However, other fleets were not so lucky. Another small merchant fleet almost capsized in the storm just now. Thanks to the timely rescue of Acon and Katrina's pirate fleet, they survived. However, as soon as they were grateful to thank the pirates for their lives, they were thrown into the bottom cabin and imprisoned, and all the goods and property of the ship were confiscated. After leaving the storm zone, all the crew members kept their lives and took several small paddle boats to take refuge on the nearby islands.
This is the first successful piracy group just formed by Aken and Katrina. However, the owners of these two merchant ships also want to thank the pirates for saving their lives, otherwise they may be buried on the seabed with the ship and people. The two ships and the cargo property are worth buying for their lives.
Catrina came to the nearby port of Saint Lucia Island, found the goods on board and sold them at a discount. Two small merchant ships were also sold to the port's maintenance factory at a low price, and the stolen money was divided between Aken. The first cooperation made an easy profit, which made the two confident.
Set sail from Saint Lucia again and went straight to San Juan. On this day, I came to the Virgin Islands 50 nautical miles from San Juan Island. This is a sunny and beautiful sea fairyland, but when Aken was drinking with Catherine on the stern deck to enjoy the sea scenery, the rumble of gunfire in the distance broke the tranquility.
Aken immediately invited Catherine to fly high in a wooden gull to explore the sea of the accident. It is even more refreshing to look down on the beautiful Virgin Islands at high altitude. It was soon found that a black smoke rushed straight into the sky in the distance, which was the black smoke from the burning hull of a two-masted sailboat that had been shelled and escaped.
Behind the unlucky two-masted sailboat, several large ships were chasing in the tail, and the artillery of the bow fired shells from time to time to stir up white water columns near the two-masted sailboat, shaking the broken ship. The sailors of the three big ships behind were laughing wildly. It seemed that they were not worried about the broken ship's escape, because the other party's sails had been damaged and the speed was very slow. They just deliberately made the other party feel that they had a chance to escape and were playing cat-and-mouse games.
It can be seen that those evil sailors are not good people, and the top of the main mast of the leading Karak sailboat clearly wears the flag of pirates. This is just a farce of pirate looting. Archen and Caterina are naturally too lazy to care, not to mention that they are pirates and have no choice but to destroy other people's business.
But Katrina in the back seat of Muyuan found an interesting thing from the telescope. There was an acquaintance on the escaped ship in front of her. This man is a blonde man with a broken wrist and a bloody hook!
"Hey, I'm still an old friend. The blood lion Hook is now so depressed that he is chased by other pirates. Katrina laughed.
Aken was stunned when he heard the words, and then looked carefully at the broken two-masted sailboat in front of him. "No wonder this ship is a little familiar. It's the second-hand goods bought by Hooker in Barbados."
"This guy is usually very arrogant and cruel. He has offended many enemies in the Caribbean, and now he has fled everywhere, which is also retribution." Katrina didn't seem to like Captain Hook, but she didn't like the group of pirates who chased behind. "It was the 'Viktor' pirate group that chased the blood lion Hook. The coward was very small and was once taught by Hook. It seems that she got the news that the blood lion Hook was defeated. Now she is coming to beat the water dog!"
"This is 'Hu Luo Pingyang being bullied by dogs'..." Akan sighed. He stared at the two-masted sailboat that was being chased. Suddenly, his heart moved, as if he remembered something and asked Katrina, "I remember that you seem to have joined us to annex the 'Vikton' pirate group. Now there is a chance..."
Caterina shook her head and interrupted Acan, "The opportunity is not good now. I want to take down the Spanish fleet first. Get rid of this guy later. Otherwise, if Victor is not cleaned up, he will not be able to do this rare big deal. Victor's pirate will be ours sooner or later, and we won't be in a hurry.
Aken laughed and said, "I'm not asking you to hit Victor, but I want to ask you if you want to subdue a strong captain. Maybe this person will be of great help to us dominate the Caribbean..."
"You mean..." Katrina narrowed her eyes and thought about it.
"The ability of the blood lion Hook is obvious to all, but it is a little unruly..." Aken's wooden circled high in the sky, waiting for Katrina's reply. As an old Pirate of the Caribbean, Caterina's maritime ability is better than Acan. Moreover, she is also very familiar with the customs here and has certain connections in the Caribbean. She is the leader of the team.
"..." Katrina didn't say anything.
Aken continued: "But after he was defeated by us in a row and had nothing, it should be the most vulnerable time. At this time, you will be hunted down and humiliated by Victor. Will you rely on a strong and trustworthy force? This is the best time for you to subdue him..."
Catrina said lightly, "Doesn't the baron want to subdue him?"
Aken smiled. He seemed to have known that Katerina would ask, "Do you think he will submit to such an embarrassing person with the character of the blood lion Hooker? Our fleet will not come forward later. You can directly lead your fleet to rescue him. It's a rare opportunity..." Aken said with a long heart. Then he turned the wooden gull to his fleet.
"But my two ships alone can't defeat Victor's fleet?" Katrina has no confidence.
"Don't worry, as long as you make a brave look that hurts both sides, I don't think the timid Victor can fight with you. Did he appear in this sea just to chase and humiliate the blood lion Hooker? Aken is confident.
"What do you mean?" Caterina has doubts.
Aken sneered and said, "I'm afraid this guy also got the same reliable information and wants to plunder Spain's transport fleet. But I bet this guy will never attack head-on. He must have learned the detailed route of the other party and attacked in some favorable sea area. Before that, I'm afraid he won't risk losing the ship and fight with you. Just like us, we don't want to lose our fleet before we get the benefits..."
"Then don't we have a strong competitor?" Katrina is a little worried that after all, Aken, who has not experienced a big war scene, can make a strategy.
"On the contrary, we just make a profit. I'd better participate in the other two of the five pirate groups. There is an old saying in China that 'it's easy to fish in troubled waters'. Aken likes the scene of chaos. The intervention of such complicated forces can give full play to his strong calculation ability!
And the other party is a pirate group, and there should not be a powerful wise man like the guardian Eisen. Even if such a high-IQ figure appears, they are in the open, and as a new force in the Caribbean, it should be impossible for the other party to know his ability and put him in the dark and be able to calculate them.
Catrina analyzed: "The number one 'Blood Dawn' pirate will not rob fleets related to the Spanish royal family. The whole Caribbean knows that they are wearing a pair of trousers with the Spanish royal family and the British Earl Robert. However, it would be a little tricky if the second-ranked 'Carthage Sunset' pirate in the Caribbean joins. Their 'Sunset' is no worse than your 'Saint-Ma', and it's also a strange warship!"
"So what is the relationship between the 'Cerage Sunset' pirate group and the 'Vikto' pirate group?" Aken asked.
"No one in the Caribbean will like Victor, a coward, and I don't know how this selfish, timid and incompetent guy can get to this point and keep suppressing the blood lion Hook." Katrina said contemptuously.
"Well..." Aken's eyes flashed and seemed to be a little calculating. Then it is more necessary for you to subdue the blood lion Hooker.
"Then where can I find you after I save Hooker?" Katrina was persuaded by Aken.
"We will meet in Puerto Rico on San Juan Island..." Acan smiled strangely, "I will wait for your good news. You can convince our Baron Shifan that there must be a way to subdue the blood lion Hooker..."
Catrina blushed and said, "Get out! That bastard is different from Hook..."
............
"Sneeze!" Zhang Fan sneezed heavily, and his ears were inexplicably hot. Elder Erikson, you have to accept these gems, and this little dragon will get rid of you. I know that more than ten years of parenting expenses will not be small..." Zhang Fan tried his best to give gems equivalent to 50 scenes of wealth to the old poisonous tooth dragon, and the latter blindly gave in.
"It is the duty of our own people to adopt our own kind. I am sorry for your resurrection. How can we collect these gems?" The old poisonous tooth dragon was resurrected into a zombie dragon by the book demon with the living dead art of 'Volks'. Although it looks a little ugly, after all, it is very satisfied to manage the ethnic group that can't let themselves down again.
