Pirates: From the Planet to the Starry Sky

Chapter 50 Dark Tide
In a forest between the Kingdom of Skrull and the Kingdom of Black Iron, on the top of a barren mountain by the sea, a castle is located here.

At the foot of the mountain, there are clusters of houses, and double-storey stone houses occupy almost all the open space at the foot of the mountain.

In this seaside wilderness and forest, a city made of stone houses appeared.In the city, there are refugees in dilapidated clothes.

Among the densely packed stone houses, only a few were left empty, but soon, new refugees arrived here, and then moved into the empty houses.

As the news of Rich's recruitment of refugees spread among the two countries, and after bribing several nobles, the news began to flow unimpeded.

As for the kings of the two countries, their eyes were already red-eyed at this time. Hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides confronted each other at the border, regardless of the life and death of the low-level people.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the news of Rich's recruitment of refugees quickly spread within the two countries. After knowing this place, refugees from all over the two countries began to gather, and then under the leadership of Rich's subordinates, they passed through the noble territory , through the forest, and come here.

Up to now, the number of refugees here has exceeded 5, and the number is increasing at a rate of 2000 every day.

With such a large number, Rich had no choice but to establish a simple system in the camp, and at the same time recruit the young and strong among the refugees to form recruits to assist Rich's scientific troops to maintain order.

The number of people increased rapidly, but the round-trip speed of the airship was very slow.Up to now, ten airships have been dispatched to go back and forth in time, and only two airships arrive every day, transporting 400 people.

The speed at which they were sent away could not match the speed at which the refugees arrived, and this situation also surprised and delighted Richie.

For this reason, Rich even selected some talents from among the refugees, and established simple hospitals and workshops.

And a fishing fleet was formed, and even the scientific troops increased the strength of a battalion.

The increase in the number of people will naturally attract the attention of the surrounding forces. For example, the fleet that often goes out to sea for fishing will attract some pirates who come here.

When seeing such a city, the pirates naturally came from bee chrysalis.

There are also some businessmen who know this place and are also preparing to come.

However, this is Rich's private territory, and these people are blocked overseas.

Facing Rich's warship, those pirates could only be killed by artillery fire. The pirate ship became a new fishing boat in the refugee camp, and the weapons of the pirates became the weapons and equipment of the refugee patrol.

"Listen to the caravan in front, this is a private territory, no one is allowed to enter, please explain in time if you have something to do, otherwise we will deal with you as pirates."

Outside the refugee city, in the nearby waters, an armed fishing boat converted from a pirate ship blocked the way of a merchant ship.

"We're here to sell food."

The merchant ship on the opposite side raised a flag to signal the fishing boat to let go.

"I had contact with you adults before."

After listening to the merchant ship and checking the information, the merchant ship was allowed to continue to go deep into the vicinity of the refugee city.

Soon, they came to the simple pier with several forts, the merchant ship docked, and a group of people stepped off the merchant ship.

The leader was a slightly plump, wealthy businessman in a gorgeous robe.After the businessman, there are two people dressed in formal attire, who seem to be bodyguards.

After the merchant handed over the information and identity, the person in charge of the dock released it, and then a team of sailors moved the grain from the merchant ship, and then the temporary stevedores waiting on the dock sent it to the warehouse.

"This is the most recently established city."

The businessman was at the side of the port with bodyguards and servants, looked at the refugees who were moving around, and said to a bodyguard beside him.

"The owner of the city is a prince from the South Sea Kingdom. I don't know why he chose to build a refugee city here. Every day, a large number of refugees from the two kingdoms come here."

Merchants who come and go need to be reviewed, otherwise they will not be allowed to dock. Even if they are approved, those who are allowed to dock cannot enter the city and can only walk around the port.

At this time, two armed fishing boats returned to the port, and it could be seen that the fishing boats were full of various fish.

"With so many refugees, the fish catch is simply not enough to support the activities. Therefore, a large amount of food needs to be purchased. Recently, the nearby food merchants have made a lot of money."

"Ah."

The bodyguard nodded and did not speak.

Then, after the food was completely transported away, the merchant settled the payment with the merchant, and the merchant ship left the port quickly.

a few days later.

Beihai, a town occupied by pirates.

Here, under the oppression of the pirates, the townspeople hide in their houses like walking dead.

But even so, some people would escape from the burning house from time to time, screaming, causing the pirates on the side to laugh.

Pirates are wantonly doing evil in the town, and corpses are randomly piled up on both sides of the street.

In a rich man's manor in the town, this place has become a stronghold of pirates at this time.The looted treasures are piled up here.

A man in a pink down coat and sunglasses sat on the pile of treasures, holding a glass of red wine in one hand and waving the other in the air.

In front of him, there were several villagers fighting with each other. Every villager showed a trace of panic on their faces, but their hands and feet did not follow the orders of their brains. They beat each other one by one, allowing the wounds to appear.

"Young master, we sent people to check the newly emerged forces of the Skrull Kingdom and the Black Iron Kingdom. That force is only gathering refugees, and there is no question of interfering in the war between the two countries for the time being."

"Just recruiting refugees."

The young master who was sitting on the pile of treasures spoke.

"Then it is said to be from the Rock Mountain Kingdom in the South China Sea. What news do you have?"

"Young Master." On the side, a man in a long robe, whose whole body was like mucus, said.

"The Kingdom of Yanshan in the South China Sea is just a small country that is a member of the world government, with a population of less than one million. It previously fought against a nearby non-government member country and annexed this country.

The strength of the country is low, but there is a new weapon to arm the country's soldiers. "

"New weapons."

The young master looked at the subordinates beside him and asked.

"That's right, but they are closely guarding the weapons and equipment. What we sent out were just ordinary spies, and we couldn't get weapons samples."

"Then let Pika take people there, launch a surprise attack as a pirate, and retreat after getting the weapon samples."

"Yes, my lord."

"Since this refugee city is only recruiting refugees, and it is wrong to mistake us for selling weapons, then let's ignore it for the time being, but there are tens of thousands of people, let Diamante take people there to fight once, and try the skills of the master there."

"Good young master." The man in the sticky coat nodded.

"I'll arrange it."

After all the subordinates around left, the young master looked at the few residents in front of him and laughed.

"Fufufufu,
I'm in a good mood right now, so y'all go die. "

Laughing, the man's voice fell, and several residents grabbed their necks with their hands, their faces turned blue quickly, and they fell down in pain.
