Chapter 17 The Pirate's Legacy

"He was once the man who made the entire Shining Sea tremble. He established a huge pirate empire, but this powerful empire quickly weakened and collapsed within 50 years after his death, and has lost its former glory. -" Moore History of Pirates"

Richard did not open those coffins, not only because of the lingering thought in his heart that the dead of the Chinese people are great, but also because of the awe of the corpse for Lizzie.

That's right, it's awe. For a person who can kill enemies at the age of 15 and eventually build a huge pirate empire, no one will not feel awe in his heart.

Instead of letting the soldiers open the coffin, Richard instead asked them to open the old wooden boxes. The metal strips on the surface of those wooden boxes were seriously rusted, the skin was covered with blue moss, and the locks on them were also not supported. After the test of time, it almost shattered when touched, and scattered all over the ground.

Opening these wooden boxes, the contents inside are just as Richard imagined. They are the spoils obtained by the pirates during the plundering. Leaving aside the huge amount of gold, silver and jewels, there are even some books that are so damp that they cannot be read. with scrolls.

Among these things, Richard also found a strange stone. Although the surface of this stone was covered with moss, and it was an unwelcome waste rock on the side of the road, Richard could still sense The unusual place for this stone.

This feeling is the same as the feeling in the Tongtian Tower before, attracting him from the bottom of my heart, and giving birth to a desire from the bottom of my heart.

Richard was a little happy. After absorbing the Terzi gem in the Tower of Babel last time, he got the opportunity to unlock the country and get the army he now has. But this time, he didn't know what he could get after absorbing it. Such a surprise.

Guessing, Richard walked past the soldiers and slowly picked up the stone in the box. Almost at the moment when his fingers touched the surface of the stone, the sound of the system sounded as promised.

[Found absorbable items, is it absorbed?Corresponding rewards can be obtained after absorption. 】

"absorb!"

With his first experience, Richard agreed without hesitation. Immediately afterwards, a white light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and the stone disappeared instantly. Looking at the soldiers around him, they looked normal, as if they hadn't seen the stone. process of disappearing.

[The absorption is complete. Since this is the second absorption, the host's right to choose a country will be cancelled, and it will be randomly selected. (Note: The newly acquired country will be used as the second country, and the recruitment and construction permissions are not open, and only the country's arms can only be obtained in random draws at regular intervals.)]

"Fuck?"

Richard was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, the system prompt sounded again in his mind.

[The random drawing has ended, you will become the new national leader of the Kingdom of Denmark. 】

"Denmark!!!"

……

On the calm sea, sparkling, fish schools wander in the clear water, from time to time they are scared away by large fish that suddenly swim past, or are picked up by cormorants that fall from the sky, and then swallowed into their round bellies .

On the sea surface that is illuminated by the sun and reflects the dazzling light spots, several slender warships with statues of dragon heads are breaking through the waves. The sails swelled in the wind, driving the ship forward.

On the deck of the leading dragon-headed warship, Sigurd touched his belly separated by a layer of light armor, turned his head and glanced at the yellow eagle flag on a black background hanging at the stern, that was the flag of the Holy Roman Empire, and it was also the flag of the Holy Roman Empire. The flag of the country to which he pledged allegiance.

Half a month ago, Sigurd and his fellow Danes came to this world, and under the guidance of the gods in the underworld, expressed their surrender to Caesar of the Holy Roman Empire.

They don't know why there are Germans and their emperor in such a strange world. The only thing they know is to dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to His Majesty the Emperor.

The number of these Nordic strong men from Scandinavia is not large, there are only three Viking longships and more than a hundred soldiers who retain their barbaric habits.

Among these soldiers, there are Viking raiders with small bucklers and battle axes, and there are also descendants of Viking pirates who are active on the sea and want to relive the glory of their ancestors.

After becoming the new national leader of Denmark, Richard obtained three Viking longships, the most basic naval arm of the Kingdom of Denmark, and a team of 112 Viking raiders in the next random arms draw.

This immediately made Richard, who suffered from almost zero naval power (what combat power does a merchant ship have?), he was very happy. It is well known that the Vikings' sailing level was the highest in Europe at that time. At the peak of the Vikings, the dragon head warship There are almost any navigable rivers in Europe, and their footsteps even set foot on Iceland and Greenland, which are far away from the European continent. In today's world, it is not unheard of that the Vikings first discovered the American continent.

It can be seen how excellent the Vikings' nautical strength is. Of course, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. The nightmare of all European merchant ships at that time, as long as they were targeted by greedy and crazy Vikings, they could only play GG in desperate resistance.

As descendants of Viking pirates, the combat effectiveness of the sailors of these Viking longships is naturally not low, which is one of the reasons why Richard let them leave the temporary port and appear in the endless sea.

The more important reason was a piece of news that Richard got from Captain Donohue Sean who had helped him a week ago.

An update on the Moore Pirates.

Since the summoning order was issued, the Moorish pirates from all over the Shining Sea have mobilized one after another. The unrestrained nature of the pirates makes them unable to really follow the order and wait until the winter is over before starting to act. Therefore, some pirates have arrived a few kilometers away from Kuban Island. A temporary stronghold called Bassa Island on the Tianlu Road is going to use this to test the guard situation of Kuban Island in advance.

The Moore pirates didn't think that the kingdom of Ravana would be on such a worthless island (the pirates didn't know that Lizzie was buried here, maybe a few people at the top of the pirate group would know, but they wouldn't say anything Come out) stationed a lot of troops, and their eyes are more on Port Bell, which is across the sea from Kuban Island, a rich port city that has not been affected by the war.

These greedy pirates may never have imagined that they would be attacked by the Cuban Island Navy that they didn't care about.
