Pirate Kingship

On this island, there are only a few dozen people who still have some fighting power, including the organizers of the bloody ceremony and the young natives who have just reached adulthood.

They have been panicking in the face of the sudden disaster.

They all subconsciously gathered near the temple, wanting to hold out until the end of the ceremony and wait for the tribesmen from other islands to rescue them.

They were easily surrounded by pirates.

Compared with normal Taino people, this group of headhunters living on the edge of the "celestial circulation" are short, probably only as tall as teenagers.

And their skin is dark, their hair is slightly curly, and their faces are painted with strange white oil paint.

The inherited witchcraft system is also different from the mainstream beast spirit warriors of the Bantaan Islands.

In other words, the Bantaan Islands mainly use various beast spirits, and they are human undead of various identities.

[Head Shrinking Technique] is the most common carrier.

At this time, each of these survivors of the plague who have not died yet has a string of shrunk human heads shrunk to the size of a fist hanging around their necks.

After entering the combat state, all the heads opened their eyes, flashing ghost lights, and adding their own power to their masters.

"The spirit told me that these outsiders brought the disease, they are white devils!"

"Kill them!"

"Ahhhh"

The headhunters roared like intimidation, each holding a blowpipe made of human bones and rushing towards the pirates in line.

Clang!

Alfred, standing at the front of the musket team, chopped off a poisoned blowpipe that was shot at him.

Looking at these headhunters who obviously had never seen the power of muskets and rushed towards him stupidly without dodging, a bloodthirsty grin appeared on his face.

"Three-stage shooting, fire!"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gun smoke billowed, and the hot fire instantly covered the entire battlefield.

Even though the accuracy of these muzzle-loading smoothbore rifles was very touching, under volleys, it was enough to increase the hit rate to 100%.

In an instant, blood and brains splattered everywhere, and screams and wails were everywhere.

But most of these surviving headhunters were extraordinary people who mastered black magic.

In particular, there was no shortage of second-level masters among the tribal leaders responsible for organizing the ceremony.

They also had extraordinary means such as "human heads for death", "skull shields", and witchcraft props.

After two rounds of three-stage shooting, there were still two or three people who rushed to the front of the team.

"Put on the bayonet and stab them to death!"

The pirates immediately pulled out the sharp bayonets from the leather holsters on their waists and put them on the muzzles of their guns.

In fact, the bayonet has just appeared in the Old World, and it has not yet become popular in the Bantaan Islands thousands of kilometers away.

Moreover, the original version is to put the bayonet directly into the muzzle of the gun, and the bayonet cannot be used, so the practicality is limited.

The version used by this batch of Byron's pirates is an improved version pioneered by him, which installs the bayonet outside the muzzle and can be used at a distance or close.

He named it: sleeve bayonet.

A modified bayonet with a blade length of 32 cm is enough to pierce the chests of two adult men, and its power is extremely fierce.

"Brothers, His Excellency [Sea Hunter] is forming his own guards [Death Wing].

Whether you can be selected and get the best treatment in the company depends on your performance."

"Give it to me, stab--!"

"Roar! Stab!"

Aren't they training hard for today?

Their mission this time is not only to seize the crystal skull, but also to test the training results of the new tactics.

One by one, they stabbed the muskets in their hands at the attacking enemies.

[Blood Red Whiskey] had no intention of taking action, just quietly watching the musket team members perform.

"His Excellency the Captain is really a genius military strategist."

It has only been a few years since the transition from the matchlock to the flintlock, and the bayonet has appeared even shorter.

Many people who are now in the torrent of the times have not yet realized how drastic a change in military tactics will be triggered by the cooperation between the flintlock and the bayonet.

What triggered this round of military revolution was not only the relatively sophisticated flintlock bolt, but also the inconspicuous bayonet that seemed to have no technical content.

Even though it was so inconspicuous that Byron was not even awarded a [Relic].

Now the privateering fleet is well-trained, and every pirate officer has received personal training from Byron, and is very clear about the five major advantages of the flintlock musket team equipped with a bayonet.

Byron's speech reappeared in Alfred's ears:

"First, the muskets are all equipped with open flames. If they are too close, they are likely to catch fire and even trigger the explosion of gunpowder on their comrades.

They must be more than one person apart, and cannot be arranged in dense formations.

The flintlock has no open flame, which greatly improves safety. It can be very close and built into a steel wall composed of gunfire and bullets."

"Second, the musket has no melee power at all, and must be equipped with additional pikemen on both sides for protection, which wastes most of its combat power.

A thousand-man legion has only 500 people when firing from a distance; in close combat, it also has only 500 people.

The flintlock is equipped with a bayonet, and one person can be both a musketeer and a pikeman. When firing from a distance, it is a thousand-man legion; in close combat, it is still a thousand-man legion.

One person can do two things, and the combat power is greatly increased!"

"Third, the distance between the musket formations is too large. If a fierce enemy rushes over, they will often be scattered and unable to hold their positions.

The flintlock muskets are equipped with bayonets. They can fire volleys from a distance and form a gun formation at close range. The formation is so tight that they will not be afraid even in close combat.

There is no room for soldiers to be afraid and run away. "

“The fourth point is that the matchlock gun is coordinated with melee combat units. The system is complex and requires many tactics.

However, if the flintlock and bayonet units are unified, the tactics will be much simpler, and the requirements for the quality of the musketeers will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, after the unified command system, even if the soldiers and generals are separated, the combat effectiveness of the musketeers will not be affected.

Ensure that high-level officials firmly hold military power. "

Last but not least.

“In the arquebus era, musketeers cooperated with melee troops, and the training was extremely difficult.

It is normal for it to take two or three years to build a qualified team.

However, flintlock guns are equipped with bayonets, and there are not many tactics and changes. Even a peasant who cannot read a word can go directly to the battlefield after spending a few months practicing the formation.

It can realize the explosion of troops in the shortest time, allowing a country's human resources to be continuously transformed into war potential.

As long as war starts, millions of troops can be added at any time! "

This new method of warfare can be described using the tactics Byron had seen in his previous life:

"The brave will not be the first, and the timid will not be the last. The spears are poking at him, the spears are poking at him, the knives are slashing at him, and he is killed indiscriminately. They just crowd in together and it is difficult to change hands. How can they allow him to move left and right?"

Every time in his previous life, he saw foreign movies and TV shows, when they were performing large army battles.

There is not even a formation, they all get together and fight each other. Whoever kills the other side first will be the winner?

Is it a war, or a group fight?

Without the corresponding advanced organizational power, why should we fight a war worth millions in your history books?

In a legion battle in a low-demon world, how can there be room for so-called masters to show their talents?

Only when personnel, equipment, and tactics match each other can the dominance of the "gathering of crowds" be truly exerted.

It's like following this training model pioneered by Byron, you can easily form an army by just catching some criminals, bankrupts, and homeless people, without affecting the combat effectiveness at all.

If you give such a Guards army, which is essentially a musketeer team, equipped with Azik's skull gold coins, it will be the real [Deathwing]!

So what if we were lined up to be shot?

Come on, come on, we will die first as a sign of respect, you can do whatever you want.

"kill--!"

At this moment, the explosive heads thrown by the headhunters at close range were suddenly blown away by the strong wind set off by the Eagle Spirit Warriors.

Then the few natives ran into a "rain of bullets" that was not an adjective.

Wave after wave, witchcraft can block one shot, but it cannot stop ten or hundreds of shots.

It was cut into pieces almost in the blink of an eye.

A native with the most gorgeous headdress, probably the leader, looked at Alfred [Blood Red Whiskey] strolling up to him.

There was not much fear of death on his face, he just asked with difficulty:

"Outsiders, when you eat me, I hope you can follow our tradition and eat raw internal organs.

Let my soul ascend to heaven. "

The language spoken on the island belongs to the same language family as Taya, and the indigenous pirates from the Taya city-state can barely understand it.

Immediately stepped forward to act as an interpreter.

As the intelligence said, the headhunters here not only hunt heads, but also have the tradition of cannibalism.

There is no cemetery at all on the nearby island, because not only the enemies, but also their dead relatives will be eaten together.

Enemies give you strength, while loved ones stay with you!

Upon hearing his request, the Taya City State [Eagle Spirit Warrior] who acted as translator quickly waved his hand:

“No, no, no, we are at war, do you understand?

In the last battle between the two overlords of the Bantaan Islands, thousands of people were killed in the battle between the two sides. "

The headhunter obviously didn’t quite understand what he said:

"Can you eat so many people at one meal? Or are you picky eaters and only eat offal?"

[Eagle Spirit Warrior] couldn't help but continue to correct him:

"We are not like you barbarians. We only fight, sacrifice at most, and do not eat people."

Hearing this, the headhunter leader's eyes widened and he said with grief and anger:

“Don’t eat?!!

Is killing just for fun? You are too barbaric! "Ho ho"

Realizing that his death was worthless, he didn't even take a breath, so he was so angry that he died on the spot.

Alfred waved his hand:

"Don't waste any corpses on the ground. Collect all those who died within an hour."

Others don't eat it, but we, the Bloodthirsty Order, do.

"Yes, Captain."

The pirate officers behind them, whose eyes flashed with green light, took a step forward, spread out their left hands, and in their palms was the mark of the [Blood Holy Grail].

The blood light bloomed, transforming all the fresh corpses on the ground into high-quality [transformed blood].

Now that Alfred had clung to the big tree of the Pioneer Pilot Colonial Trading Company, he had also become a [Knight] in King Byron's right hand, and had the capital to settle down.

There is even hope of defeating the "Book of Giant Insects" and regaining the Bloodthirsty Order.

He naturally reabsorbed the defeated dogs of the "Bloody Mary Sect" into his own team, and quickly became a pirate officer by relying on Captain 721's fission mode.

"Captain, the skull has been found."

Soon, the assassins found the crystal skull No. 12 [North Star God] that Byron requested from the temple filled with shriveled human heads.

Delivered to Alfred.

Thanks to the proper use of tactics and the overwhelming advantage of the musket formation training method, their team basically had no casualties.

They returned with a full load.

However, their good luck ended here.

When the group arrived at the seaside with the spoils, they suddenly found that another foreign warship had also arrived in this sea area.

And it was heading towards them at high speed.

The exaggerated red, yellow and white paint made it easy to identify the other party's identity from more than ten nautical miles away.

That was the fourth-level ship [Circus], the flagship of [Bone-eating Clown] Koraskin, who came nearby to chase the treasure of "Treasure Island"!
