Even if the lieutenant who was chopped down by the butcher was not the captain of this warship, he must be an important figure.
After seeing him being cut in two, the sailors howled and resisted for a while before retreating into the cabin like quicksand.
"Boss!"
The butcher knelt down on one knee and greeted Fang Yuan who came.
"Well, you did a great job!"
Looking at the mess on the deck, Fang Yuan took a deep breath.
This warship is a typical large five-masted ship. The tall masts are connected by many cables, like a spider's web.
The hull is over 50 meters long and over 6 meters wide, making it much larger than the original Mockingjay.
At this time, blood was flowing on the deck, and there were at least more than a hundred sailors lying on the deck, most of whom had been disemboweled by ice blades, as well as a dozen pirates.
Bang bang!
Inside the cabin, the sound of continuous fire was heard, and Bill ran out in disgrace, with a ribbon on his head: "Those bastards are still resisting down there, their firepower is very fierce!"
To be honest, during plunder, boarding battle is the battle method with the highest loss ratio, but once you win, you can also get the most victory items.
In the boarding battle, this kind of battle to sweep the ship's cabin is even more of a nightmare for all pirates.
After all, this is a sea battle, which is different from a land battle. There is a vast sea on all sides, and the loser has nowhere to escape!
Even with the help of Fang Yuan's magic, Mockingjay's pirates could only take down the deck of the warship. In the cabins below, there were many sailors occupying favorable terrain, preparing to fight with more and less in one cabin after another. .
Obviously, when ordinary pirates encounter this kind of situation, they can only use human lives to make up for it. Even a merchant ship may cause huge damage to the pirates.
Not to mention, the target this time was a group of elite sailors, even more numerous than the pirates. The previous method was to lead to death.
"Well, they are very tenacious, and maybe they still have the luxury of delaying time and waiting for rescue..."
Fang Yuan accurately grasped the thoughts of the sailors below: "This is better... At least, they won't think of drilling through the ship, leaving us with nothing..."
According to normal thinking, these pirates have already achieved a great victory. Since they cannot capture the warship and may be surrounded at any time, they can only choose to retreat.
When the hope of survival is high, no sailor will choose to die together.
After all, the pirates still have the Mockingjay as a retreat, but once the sailors scuttle the ship, they will definitely die!
However, these navies would never have imagined that Fang Yuan had already made up his mind to seize this big ship and use it as his flagship as early as when he started!
Although at this time, below the deck must have turned into a death trap, Fang Yuan was not stupid enough to fight with the sailors.
"Wilson!"
He shouted softly, and Wilson came up with several large bags of materials: "Sir Captain, this is what you want!"
Through this battle, Wilson has gained Fang Yuan's recognition with practical actions, and has also shown sufficient abilities.
At this time, his eyes looking at Fang Yuan were filled with awe.
This is a magician who can summon mist and manipulate sea water!
Such an extraordinary person, as long as he does not die young, will definitely become a famous pirate in the future!
Following such a promising captain, a thousand gold galleons does not seem to be a luxury.
"very good!"
Fang Yuan grabbed a handful of poisonous salt and sprinkled it on the corpses of the sailors on the deck.
Tsk!
There was a violent corrosion sound, and as he continued to add materials, a large amount of mist emerged, showing a greenish-yellow color with a strange stench.
"This is... poisonous fog!"
Wilson and the other pirates immediately took a few steps back. Some smart people had guessed what Fang Yuan was going to do, and looked at him with eyes full of awe and fear.
The yellow-green poisonous gas did not spread, but seemed to have a life of its own. It was driven by Fang Yuan and gradually formed a large poisonous cloud.
"Go, rotting corpse poison cloud!"
The next moment, with Fang Yuan's finger pointing, the large poisonous cloud immediately had a slant opening and poured in along the hatch.
Ahem!
Several coughs were heard, and the nearby sailors covered their mouths and noses and tried to rush out, but Bill grinned and led a team of musketeers to beat them into a honeycomb.
"Go down in ten minutes and sweep the battlefield. Basically there won't be anyone left alive!"
After sending the last poisonous cloud into the cabin, Fang Yuan said calmly.
"Long live your Excellency Captain!"
The pirates turned pale and knelt down one after another: "Boss, you can control sea fog and ice, your potion can give us life, you can summon poisonous clouds, you are the trickster on the sea! We Eternal Lord!”
The magic in Fang Yuan can no longer be explained by magic.
After all, he not only has a strong body similar to that of a super warrior, but also has the healing and blessing abilities of a priest. He can also summon sea fog, ice blades and poisonous gas.
Various methods emerge in endlessly and are strange and changeable. The name of the trickster is well deserved.
The real big pirates all have their own unique nicknames.
For example, Blackbeard in the Sea of Nightmares, his nickname has even replaced his name, and is well known throughout the world.
"Trickster Roach? That's a good nickname!"
Fang Yuan laughed, waited ten minutes, and ordered the sailors to go down, drag out the corpses one by one, and throw them into the sea.
Looking at the stiff and twisted muscles on the faces of the sailors, the pirates could not help but tremble.
After throwing the last body into the sea, there was only one thought left in their minds - that is, they must not betray the captain!
"Boss!"
Bill stepped forward very doggedly and offered a command knife.
This should be the former captain's favorite thing. The end of the silver handle is also inlaid with a huge ruby.
Of course, by this time, the unlucky guy had long been poisoned to death, and his body had sunk into the sea.
"In the captain's room, a document was found. This ship is the Hope, and the Port of Dearborn betrayed us!" Wilson took a document with a gloomy expression.
"Um!"
Regarding this, Fang Yuan had already guessed, but he acted calmly.
"But from now on, it will be my flagship, the symbol of the Purgatory Pirates - the Red Lotus!"
The Butcher unceremoniously tore down the original Royal Navy flag and replaced it with the Red Lotus Flame and Skull and Bones flag of the Purgatory Pirate Group, and many pirates cheered together.
"Boss, we really made a lot of money this time!"
Bill smiled widely.
Although there was not much gold and silver loot on this warship, the hundred cannons, the piles of gunpowder muskets, bayonet swords, sailor knives and the like were enough to be worth the price of admission.
A large number of high-quality arms are simply not something that ordinary pirates can buy, even gold galleons are hard to come by!
Besides, the Red Lotus itself cost more than 30,000 gold galleons, making it a complete treasure.
"Really? If you earn these, you will be satisfied!"
At this moment, Fang Yuan's eyes flashed with a dangerous light: "Dearborn Port violated the rules and betrayed us. Should we let them continue to live freely without making them pay the price?"
"Boss, what do you mean?"
Wilson took a breath, not expecting Fang Yuan to have such a big appetite.
"I have read their contact documents. The navy's strength nearby is very weak. The Hope is the main force. The rest are some single-masted schooners. If you dare to get close, our hundred artillery fire will be fired. , you can break them into pieces from a few hundred yards away!”
Fang Yuan sneered and said: "In that case, why not just rob the Dearborn port and bloodbath that treacherous family?"
"Attack the port? What about our reputation?"
Bill's face was pale, and his eyes were a little fiery: "In the future, I'm afraid only a real pirate port will accept us!"
There are generally three types of ports in this world: pirate ports that only accept pirates, private free ports like Dearborn, and large commercial ports that are controlled and protected by the navy and pirates are strictly prohibited.
The last type of trading port is the coveted target of all pirates, while the first two generally do not allow pirates to act arrogantly.
"Ha ha… "
When Fang Yuan heard this, he seemed to have heard some big joke and laughed loudly: "What are we? We are free pirates... What can't be plundered? As long as the profit is enough, even the pirate king's city, It’s not necessarily impossible to grab it!”
“…”
With such a captain on the stand, Bill had nothing to say.
"Okay, let our people put on the navy clothes from before, and we'll catch it by surprise!"
Fang Yuan exuded a kind of self-confidence that contained pearls of wisdom.
The communication conditions at this time were still very backward, and this naval battle was at night and ended neatly. The Dearborn port might not be able to get the news, and it was completely possible to change the equipment and then raid.
"In addition... send people to the port to spread the news, saying that Viscount Dearborn has contacted the navy and is preparing to catch all the pirates. With our actions, as long as the cannon fires, those pirates will inevitably cause chaos... And As long as there is chaos, even the smartest pirates will not be able to help but take advantage of it!"
"When the time comes... we will take advantage of this opportunity to bloodbath Viscount Dearborn's mansion and castle and rob them of all their wealth!"
Whoops!
For a moment, almost all the pirates were breathing heavily.
How much wealth must have been accumulated in a free port that has been operating for such a long time
Even though the Dearborn family still has many connections to make, the superficial wealth of such a big noble family is enough to make their mouths water, right
Under the huge profits, even the most rational Wilson could not help but blush.
Because he discovered that his unattainable dream seemed to be possible after joining this pirate group!
