Insman, offshore.
Pirate groups gathered one after another, the core of which were the four legendary ships.
Fang Yuan's clothes were unruly, with his collar open, revealing his strong chest. A crown was used as an armband, shining in the sun.
"We... want to dominate the sea!" He stepped forward and roared loudly.
"Oh!" The pirates responded immediately from all around.
"As the pirate king, I need a territory. Of course, I will not look at the resources of the Nightmare Sea, nor will I look at the territory of any of my governors... What I look at is the big island country of Insman. , take a peek at the unsinkable ship of Offal continent!"
Fang Yuan's voice was loud: "Pirates, conquer a kingdom for me and carry out the most grand robbery! From now on, you will no longer need any permission for privateering, because you are the nobles of this kingdom!"
"Whoa whoa?!"
The pirates cheered even louder, with a hint of surprise.
Even Fang Yuan's men and the four pirate governors were equally astonished.
They never thought that Fang Yuan would have this idea before.
But to Fang Yuan, Insman's position was indeed too good. It was like an unsinkable ship, and it held the throat of the entire Offal continent's sea trade.
He wants to completely monopolize the trade between the East and the West. Controlling this final hub will undoubtedly get twice the result with half the effort, thereby truly establishing a maritime empire!
"What's more... the reforms we are planning to carry out will inevitably bring about conflicts. It is better to transfer them externally than to explode internally... We can also eliminate Insman's vested interests and use them to bribe those who seek refuge with me... "
Fang Yuan calculated this very clearly.
Moreover, he was extremely decisive.
It doesn't matter that Insman is preparing to form an anti-piracy alliance, because he will directly destroy the foundation of this ancient kingdom before doing so!
"Insman? This is really a good match!"
Pirate Prince Edward touched his chin: "Its navy has lost most of its fleet and cannot resist our attack. Even if it does not seek to occupy it, it can still loot all the wealth in the ports!"
"good!"
Such huge benefits also made the Elf Pirate Governor Aioris red-eyed.
"Insman has always been a maritime power. How much wealth has it accumulated since the opening of the golden route?" Wang Zhi breathed heavily.
"Of course... its army also has to be considered, but we know that for well-known reasons, Insman's army is far inferior to its navy, with only one-third in number, and it is scattered among many Among the colonies…”
Nymphadora, the new mermaid governor, said so.
"Let me say it again, this time we not only want to plunder, but also conquer this kingdom... not only its docks, but also its interior, mountains, rivers, cities... we must not let go!"
Fang Yuan repeated.
"But head, although Insman's Army is a joke, if we pirates go deep into the interior, it will be worse than a joke..."
Only Fang Yuan's direct descendants, Bill and Wilson, can say this: "Pirates cannot leave the sea, otherwise they will be like fish leaving the sea water."
"I have fully considered your suggestions."
Fang Yuan clapped his hands: "As for arriving inland, of course I have already made plans. Now... let me attack!!! The original plan was that we were going to attack all Insman's ports like a pack of wolves and make them The army is exhausted, and I will lead the main force to capture Burmint Port, and then attack its heart, the capital Grasse, from there!"
He quickly issued an order to allocate very wealthy ports to several other pirate governors, and kept them, even if it was just for his own greed, he would still grab a vote.
"Boss!"
After the tasks were assigned, Wilson expressed dissent: "In this case, I suspect that these pirates will be very active in robbing the port, and then they will stagnate and choose to wait and see..."
"If this is their choice, then let them do it. Anyway, it will bring trouble to the Insman Navy and contain a certain amount of the army, which is enough!"
Fang Yuan nodded: "How many people do we have in our own pirate group currently?"
"After this period of recruitment, we have 19 ships and 7,000 sailors. This is already the limit..." Wilson looked embarrassed: "And this includes everyone on the ship who we sent to the land. The number of people is only 5,000 at most, and if we can’t make the legendary pirate ship exert its power on land, I think we may suffer a disastrous defeat!”
No matter how weak Insman's army is, it is still a professional army. It is not too easy to fight against a group of chaotic pirates.
"That's enough! Let's capture Burmint Harbor first!"
Fang Yuan waved his hand: "Don't worry, we will celebrate in Grass City soon!"
…
Burmint Harbor.
Because it is very close to the capital Grasse, the trade throughput here has always been among the best in Insman.
Even the news of the navy's defeat only made it slightly deserted.
Even if there are no goods on the Eastern Gold Route, the exchanges with Offal Continent and the various needs of Grasse are enough to maintain the operation of the port.
At the entrance to the port, tall towers and many heavy forts stand out.
A large number of patrol boats stared at the sea with vigilance and a sense of leisure.
After all, few pirates dared to attack Insman's ports anymore. Even though they knew that the navy had suffered a disastrous defeat, the citizens of Insman were still very confident, and no one dared to challenge the majesty of their maritime overlord.
The sun is shining brightly, and the sea water is hitting the beach layer by layer.
Suddenly, a shrill horn suddenly sounded from the port.
"pirate!"
A hoarse cry came out, with a taste of panic and disbelief.
Where the sea and the sky meet, a dense black sail silhouette emerges, and soon turns into nineteen murderous pirate ships.
Especially in the middle, the three legendary ships, the Ghost Ship, the Sun, and the Throne, carried the majesty of oppressing all living beings, making even the Insman Navy wail.
Bang bang!
The pirates opened fire first, and the powerful artillery tore the patrolling boat into pieces in an instant.
"Legendary ability—King Kong!"
Immediately, the Sun quickly deformed in a burst of mechanical transmission, turning into a steel giant hundreds of meters tall, with flames spurting from its feet, and rushed towards the port nimbly.
Bang bang!
The cannon guarding the port opened fire immediately, creating huge waves on the water.
The Iron Giant Sun used a gliding posture and incredible agility to avoid many bombardments, arrived on the mainland, and hit it with its hand.
Boom!
Amidst the flying steel and concrete, a fort was completely destroyed. The huge barrel rolled down, killing countless artillerymen.
"Prepare the secondary battery! Automatically calibrate! Fire!"
At the same time, on the giant's shoulders, two cannon barrels emerged, spitting out terrifying flames.
In an instant, two more forts were destroyed.
"attack!"
A loud order immediately came from the Throne.
The pirates first stared at this scene with their mouths open, but when they discovered that the originally strict defense system was destroyed almost instantly, they immediately let out deafening cheers and howled towards the port.
In fact, this is simply overkill.
With Fang Yuan's current strength, he had gathered three legendary pirate ships, and no port in the entire world could resist them.
With the invasion of pirates, Berminter Port also began to resist fiercely, like a death struggle.
A large number of soldiers fought bravely, using every block to fight bloody pirates and protect their lives and property.
"Pass the order, I need a lot of prisoners! Let the other pirates share the other spoils equally!"
Fang Yuan stepped on the land in the port with his sailor boots and gave the order calmly.
"The great pirate king!"
Seeing this scene, Wilson couldn't help but step forward: "The enemy's resistance is very tenacious. The strength of Insman's Army may exceed our expectations. Just capturing this port will cost us a thousand casualties, and here The real army stationed will not exceed five thousand, and with the assistance of our three legendary pirate ships... we can't continue!"
"I see… "
Fang Yuan nodded: "There are at least three checkpoints from Burmint Port to Grasse. In addition, there is a regiment of more than 30,000 troops stationed in Grasse city, not to mention that they can mobilize several times that number of militiamen and Reserve…”
"That's it. If we capture Burmint Port and leave, we still have interests. If we continue to be entangled, I'm afraid..."
Wilson did not say a word. The pirates were all unruly people, and the casualties at this time had reached a very dangerous level.
However, along the way, not only will the loot drop sharply, but the casualty rate will also increase significantly. I am afraid that even Fang Yuan, the pirate king, will have a hard time suppressing their resentment.
"Well, you're right, so I won't use pirates in the next battle!"
Fang Yuan smiled secretly: "Let me go see the prisoners left behind!"
He walked to a square guarded by pirates.
This place was originally used for unloading cargo. At this time, the cannons on several pirate ships were aimed at the center. As long as there was any movement among the black prisoners, they would fire immediately.
"According to your instructions, the prisoners here are all young adults, and there are three thousand of them!"
The butcher came over and smiled ferociously.
"very good!"
Fang Yuan nodded and saw that few of these prisoners wore military uniforms. They were mostly ordinary people and dock coolies.
But he didn't care at all and took out a crown made of gold.
Sun Crown!
After defeating the main force of the navy, Fang Yuan and his confidants excavated the island tomb of the Sun King and unearthed the crown! !
At this point, it’s time for it to work!
