Chapter 899 Alliance

Zhang Fan suddenly remembered a terrible figure in history, and then thought of the name of Catherine's pirate group, and unconsciously asked, "Is your father the king of Arab pirates who, 18 years ago, the number one enemy of the Spanish invincible fleet, crossed the Mediterranean for decades and looted countless ships, known as 'Hladdin' - -Red Beard - Hilton. Reis?!"

Zhang Fan remembers that in the book demon's information, the most powerful king of Mediterranean pirates in history seems to have died in 1546, but now it is 1567, so Catherine is now 25 years old. In the past 20 years, she should have suffered a lot from growing up to establishing this large-scale pirate group. Because Zhang Fan learned from the information that since Hilton. After Les's death, the pirates of the Mediterranean became scattered sand and were no longer strong in their heyday, and were forced to flee to land by the Spanish fleet. Most of them defected to Ottoman Turkey and became the regular army of the Ottoman Empire. From then on, it disappeared. The pirates of the Caribbean are getting stronger with the discovery of the New World and the exchange of Atlantic trade...

"Actually, he prefers to be called Barbarossa. And his enemies call him 'devil pirates'!" Caterina put her right hand on her cheek and said to Zhang Fan with a smile, "My full name is Tang. Julia. Katrina. Hilton. Reis.

"You have an amazing father! It is said that he only plundered Christian ships. On the contrary, he will give the greatest help to Arab ships! After his death, every Arab ship passing by his burial place, the Golden Horn of the Bosphorus, will sail to pay tribute to him!" Zhang Fan sighed sincerely.

Katrina put her chin on Zhang Fan's chest, kissed him, and then smiled, "Others will only remember how many enemies he created a pirate empire, looted and killed many enemies. Only you mention who he helped... This is also what he valued most in his life. He once said that the only thing Allah thinks he is qualified to enter heaven is that he has helped many Muslim brothers. As for wealth and the great prestige of the world, for Allah, it is nothing more than a passing cloud..."

"He said it right..." Zhang Fan stroked her long red hair and felt the warmth. Are you united with us to restore your father's former glory?

Catrina didn't say anything and drilled into the soft quilt, as if she was a little afraid of the cold. After a while, he said, "My mother said that my father was poisoned. I was young at that time, and I still remember the scene of my father spitting blood when he was dying. I'm sure this is not my mother's speculation. I also found out who poisoned my father..."

"It seems that you are going to avenge your father? And the other party's power is very huge, so you spare no effort to expand your strength and be able to deal with him. Zhang Fan knows in his heart that this is the plot of the old prince's revenge, but it has been staged in history for thousands of years. Who is the guy who can kill your father? With all due respect, since your father has been an enemy of Spain all his life, your enemy* is likely to be the Spanish royal family!"

Catrina felt very tired and lay beside Zhang Fan and muttered, "It has nothing to do with the Spanish royal family, but he does have connections with Spain now. This guy is now the commander of the Spanish Caribbean Fleet, the sworn enemy of all the Caribbean Pirates, and the strongest man in the whole Caribbean!"

"Since he used to be your father's enemy, how can he poison your father? He should not be able to get close to the most powerful people in the Mediterranean, right? Zhang Fan found the problem.

"At that time, he was still very young and used to be a spy sent by the Knights of St. John to undercover my father. At that time, he performed very well, young and handsome, brave and witty, and solved several difficult things for his father. My father trusts him very much and even has a good relationship with us. I still remember that he carved a boat for me with wood, which made me happy for a long time. Caterina actually remembers many of her childhood memories. It seems that that period of time is very important to her.

"Holy John's Knights?" Zhang Fan caught a ** word, "Isn't that the Knights of St. John's Hospital in Jerusalem?" During the Crusade, they were stationed on Rhode Island after the defeat. So, your opponent is still a real knight?!" Zhang Fan remembered his experience of dealing with the Knights of the Hospital in the Battle of Hardin. At least at that time, the Hospital Order attached great importance to honor. Rod, the head of the hospital order, left a deep impression on him.

"Yes, they are one of my father's main opponents in the Mediterranean! He is also a loyal defender of the Holy Roman Empire and the Holy See. Caterina seems to respect such opponents. "They are a group of true devout believers. They have received the practice of bitter monks since childhood, trained in riding and fighting skills, and their combat ability is very strong! And they are all tactical masters. In my father's heyday, he defeated the powerful Spanish fleet, but they still stood like stubborn reefs in the Mediterranean. Never been conquered!"

It is certain that Zhang Fan has learned the combat ability of the three knights. Naturally, the knights that have competed with the most powerful Arab imperial army cannot be defeated by pirates, even one of the most powerful pirates in history. However, what puzzled Zhang Fan was how, as a knight who put honor first, could do such a despicable thing as assassination or even poisoning. Their belief is impossible to do this even if they treat their enemies.

Zhang Fan didn't say anything, and Caterina continued, "Who would have thought that my father trusted him so much, but he was finally killed by his despicable means. After my father's death, the pirate group was torn apart. Several of my brothers and other pirate groups subdued by my father were separated, and my mother and I were displaced as a result. I swear that this murderer will pay back everything I have lost! I also want to be fair for my father! It took me a long time to know that this shameful spy is now the commander of the Spanish fleet. This makes me have to get more strength to deal with him..."

"Hate sometimes blinds our eyes..." Zhang Fan muttered.

Caterina doesn't seem to take Zhang Fan's words seriously. Maybe she has heard too much of such a dogma. "I don't have much interest in expanding my power. As long as I can kill my enemies, even if I give everything, I will not hesitate!" I can promise you that once I take revenge, I can pay you a lot of money, and my pirate group is also yours..." Caterina stroked Zhang Fan's body and seemed to have found someone to rely on.
