The Evil Generation of Pirates

The freighter was moving at full speed, and so were the warships. .

The two sides launched a silent pursuit, but soon, a shell broke the silence.A cannonball was fired from a cannon on the bow of the warship. The cannonball was not deliberately calibrated and was fired in the general direction.

After all, the actual meaning of this shell is to warn the freighter with force, not to attack the freighter.

After the artillery shell was fired, the fourth round of black signal flares was launched into the sky.The sky is getting darker now, and the black flares are becoming less and less conspicuous.This time the signal flare had artillery shells to clear the way, and it seemed much stronger.

At this time, the freighter, One-Eyed Ross, didn't even have dinner. When the cannonball made a splash on the sea not far away, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then immediately dialed the number of Marquis Scarlet. .

As soon as the phone call came through, he said angrily: "Sir, the navy not only did not leave, but also fired at us! Their intention is obvious, I am afraid they have discovered our secret!"

Marquis Scarlet was even more furious when he found out. He had put a lot of effort into preparing his plan to this day.The three parts of explosives, fuses, and flames were finally arranged, but something like this happened.

"It seems that Adolf did not restrain his men." Marquis Scarlet sighed and thought about countermeasures.

In fact, among the three parts: explosives, fuses, and flames, only the flames can be temporarily stopped. On the contrary, the explosives and fuses are both ready and cannot be delayed. If the plan fails, he may be on fire.

"Sir, our freighter is not equipped with artillery, so I'm afraid it won't be able to fight against the navy!" One-eyed Ross said.

"You continue to sail according to the original route, and try to avoid being chased by warships at the fastest speed." Marquis Scarlet has returned to the Marquis Mansion in the imperial capital of the Tuscaman Kingdom. He is looking at the charts in the hall and calculating. What, "I will dispatch several pirate groups to pick you up on this route. When the time comes, the warships will be handed over to them, and you can continue to act according to the original plan."

"Understood!" One-eyed Ross said.

Marquis Scarlet hung up the phone and went to work on the deployment, while One-Eyed Ross looked at the warships chasing after him fiercely, and gave orders to his men to increase the speed as high as possible and not to be chased by the warships.

Warship, Drake and Luca all realize there is something really weird about the freighter.

Normally when encountering a ship, they will stop and obey the military's arrangements as soon as they receive a signal from the military.There may be some freighters that are eager to transport goods and try to ignore them, but after the warships fire, they have to stop obediently.

Even if the navy fired cannons from these three cargo ships, they remained indifferent and continued to sail at the fastest speed.Such ship speed made it impossible for the warship to catch up for a while, which meant that the freighter was not loaded with cargo.And being in such a hurry means there is something wrong.

"Could this be a smuggling ship?" Luca guessed.

"Maybe." Drake still frowned. Now the warship turned around and went back. It took so long to get nothing, and it was still inevitable to be criticized.He could only choose to continue the pursuit, catch this group of people who were most likely criminals, and then return with three cargo ships to rescue the refugees from the shipwreck.

Killing two birds with one stone is currently the best option.

"Continue to fire at them, it's time to calibrate." Drake issued a formal attack order.

The warship began to fire at the three freighters. Because they were chasing, only the cannons on the bow could be used. Although half of the people on the ship were transferred to rescue people, only a few cannons on the bow still had enough manpower to operate them.

Artillery fire continued, and the chase was going on.Pursuing in the dark is not convenient. From time to time, the warship will launch a flare to look for traces of the freighter when it briefly illuminates an area.

Time passed quickly, one night passed quickly, and the distance between the two parties was sometimes close and sometimes far.Two of the three cargo ships were hit by warships, causing some damage to them.

The freighter also counterattacked. When the distance between the warships narrowed, One-Eyed Ross personally led people to counterattack with muskets and some shoulder-mounted artillery.

In the afternoon, Lieutenant Harrow, who stayed at the sunken ship to supervise the overall situation, used a telephone to ask about Drake's situation. Drake told him exactly what happened, and then asked Lieutenant Harrow how things were going there.

Lieutenant Harrow said worriedly that the situation was not good. Some people were dehydrated after being exposed to the sun, and some people could not bear hunger. In short, the situation was a bit unstable and Drake needed to come back as soon as possible.

After hanging up the phone, Drake had no other choice but to chase the freighter, catch the criminal as soon as possible, and take the freighter back to save people.

The freighter One-Eyed Ross received a call from Marquis Scarlet. He had been waiting for this call for a long time. After he couldn't wait to answer it, Marquis Scarlet told him that the three pirate groups arranged by him had completed their rendezvous in the sea area in front of him. When he came down, he led the warship over and left the rest to the three pirate groups.

Under his orders, the freighter's course deviated slightly, but the angle of deviation was not too large. Drake did not notice anything strange. In his opinion, this group of criminals with guilty consciences were just struggling to their death. As long as they are in the Okama Sea, there is no way they can escape.

But an hour later, the lookout sent back news that a pirate ship appeared in front of the freighter. The identity of the pirate can be found out based on the pirate flag mark of the pirate ship. This is a reward worth tens of millions. Pirates.

At this time, Drake had realized something. It was obviously the freighter that had led him into a trap.He hesitated and called Adolf School's phone number to ask for support.

While waiting for School Adolf to answer the phone, he could even think of how School Adolf would mock him harshly.But after a minute, no one answered. He called other warships, but none of them answered.

It was as if '790' was isolated.

No reinforcements.

In the case of a serious shortage of warship personnel, Drake rationally believed that he could not go head-to-head with the pirates. The difference in firepower was too great, not to mention that there were three freighters that could provide assistance.

When he was about to order the warship to retreat, the lookout sent back a message again. Two pirate ships appeared behind the warship, also a group of tens of millions of pirates.

"We are surrounded!" Luca said angrily in the captain's cabin. "Colonel Adolf has completely cut off our contact, and we cannot request support from any surrounding warships."

Drake did not listen to what Luca said. After the lookout sent back the news that the freighter passed by the pirate ship and continued to move forward, he came to the chart and checked: "The freighter has been moving along this route, and its final destination should be ...The city that never sleeps. It doesn’t look like they are engaged in black trade. If so, their cargo ships should be loaded with cargo and the speed is very slow, and they don’t have to worry about our pursuit, let alone have such strong firepower.”

"What is that..." Luka also looked at the chart.

"I don't know." Drake shook his head. "The problem we are facing now is how to escape from danger when surrounded by three pirate ships."

"Then the freighter won't be pursued? I think they have some big secret." Luka asked.

Derek hesitated for a moment: "Call Yamos and ask him to support us."
