The only thing Leylin could rely on now was to hide in the dark, the enemy had nowhere to attack.
When the strength is weak, only a fool jumps out and clamors.
"Isabel! Robin Hood!"
Leylin suddenly called out.
"Boss, are you looking for me?" Robin Hood stood respectfully in front of Leylin. After these few battles, this first officer seemed to have undergone a complete change.
"Hmm! You pilot the Half Mermaid, take the slaves to pick up the families of the pirates first, and I will take the Crimson Tiger to sell the goods, and then we will meet here again!"
Leylin reached out and pointed at the chart.
Whether it is Faolan Island or the Bode Islands, the fiefdom of the Marquis Louis, they are actually on the outskirts of the newly discovered sea area of the Dambreth Kingdom. One of the most prominent features here is that it is in the era of great geographical discovery. With great wealth and... danger!
It is too simple to find a random place as a temporary foothold for the pirate group.
Of course, the premise is that Leylin's subordinates can solve the dangerous creatures next to the territory, as well as the harsh climate and environmental conditions.
Considering the loyalty of Robin Hood and other sailors, Leylin specially sent Cousin Isabelle there. Presumably, if she was there, even if he could not control the entire ship, it would not be a problem to deter other dissidents.
In fact, Leylin also has plans to train his cousin more, after all, he can't command these pirates here all the time, and Isabelle is the temporary helm he found.
Although Robin Hood may be more suitable for this position, but his mind is too wild, Leylin is not at ease giving this guy too much autonomy in the early days of his business—it is not because he is afraid of the other party's betrayal, but the instinct of every superior.
In contrast, even if Isabelle's control is not very strong, but she has to rely on herself to deter these pirates, that's enough!
Watching the Mermaid leave, Leylin waved his hand: "Let's go... let's go to the pirate's port!"
The pirate's port is naturally a port dedicated to providing services for pirates, and it can be called a gathering place for the darkness of the entire open sea.
There, you can get any information, materials, and even high-end elf slaves! Of course, you must also have the courage to bear the risks behind, because as the largest port for pirates to sell stolen goods, the origin of things here seems a little unclean.
Even the Balti Islands controlled by the Marquis of Louis did not dare to let too much stolen goods flow through, and had to reluctantly give up the profits here.
As for the location of the Pirate's Port, many of Leylin's subordinates knew about it, and the route was not a problem at all, but they had to face dangerous areas a few times.
"Cyclops! Are you sure there is no problem with the route?"
Leylin opened the chart to look, and then called a one-eyed pirate over. The opponent had a tough temperament accumulated over many years of fighting. Although he only had one eye, the light that bloomed made people shudder.
Only at this moment, Cyclops' stubble-covered face turned into a chrysanthemum, revealing a few yellow front teeth: "Boss! Don't worry! I have been to pirate ports countless times with Steve, even I also served as the navigator's deputy, and I can get there even with my eyes closed!"
"Very good! You are now the navigator of the ship. If you do well, you will be the chief mate of the Crimson Tiger after arriving at the pirate's port!"
For this pirate who took refuge here, Leylin made a promise of reuse.
"Obey! Boss!" As the first mate, he could be allocated more shares in the pirate plunder, which also meant greater power, and the one-eyed dragon's only remaining eye immediately glowed with excitement.
"Very good, you go down first and call the giant up!"
Leylin waved his hand and looked at the back of the one-eyed dragon leaving, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Although he has reused these defected pirates one after another, it is impossible not to guard against the other party at all, for example, the other party deliberately sent the entire fleet to dangerous sea areas.
In fact, Leylin had already obtained the location and route map of the Pirate's Port from merchants and even pirates through other means.
"The location given by the other party is correct, and the route is also the most convenient and labor-saving section. It seems that I really surrendered..."
Cyclops didn't know that he had just strolled around the gate of the God of Death. On the contrary, he was in a very good mood because of Leylin's promise, and he quickly finished what Leylin ordered.
"Boss, are you looking for me?"
Accompanied by the sound of the urn, a big man walked in. His height was close to 2.5 meters. He even had to lower his head when he entered the captain's cabin. The muscles on his body bulged like a little giant. .
"Yes! Giant, I want you to be the battle captain of the Crimson Tiger! You go down and choose the manpower, first make up ten people, and recruit another group after you arrive at the pirate's port!"
Leylin folded his arms and spoke his plan.
The battle captain among the pirates is often the captain's confidant, and the person who charges at the forefront of every boarding battle has very high requirements for strength.
This pirate named Giant, Leylin, has personally tested it. Not only is he extremely powerful, but he also has good accomplishments in warrior training.
Among Leylin's current subordinates, apart from himself and Isabelle, no one in melee one-on-one is a giant's opponent.
Moreover, this giant's personality is relatively straightforward. After several times of defeating Leylin, he became more obedient, which was convenient for Leylin to control.
"Choose anyone at random?"
The giant asked another question, obviously he still had some thoughts in it, but this is normal, otherwise, no matter how powerful the force is, he will be tricked to death by other pirates.
"Yes! The sailors on the Crimson Tiger, whether they are my sailors or pirate captives, are all up to your choice!"
Regarding this, Leylin saw it and didn't say anything.
"Okay, I'll go get them up right now and fight me one-on-one!" The giant looked very excited.
"As you please!"
Leylin didn't say anything about the other party's aggressive behavior of attracting people, but just waved his hand casually to send him off.
As the captain of the battle, if he doesn't have a few cronies on the battlefield to help him block the knife, he may not be able to survive even a battle, so appropriate decentralization is also appropriate.
Moreover, Leylin also believed that the other party would not dare to betray him.
In other words, he was confident that the cost of the opponent's rebellion was unparalleled, and he directly cut off the opponent's thoughts.
The long voyage, as well as the fighting and fighting at sea, are all selected and integrated again and again.
After this period of time, Leylin was confident that after the trip to the Pirate's Port, he could form his own pirate group.
"Basically, as long as it is a pirate group with some reputation in the open sea, one hundred pirates is the most basic configuration requirement..."
Leylin's fingers were unconsciously drawing on the map.
"For example, Black Tiger, and the Mermaid Pirates that were just wiped out before. Ordinary pirates have more than a hundred people. The leader is a tenth-level professional, and there are some extraordinary equipment..."
"A real large-scale pirate group requires at least 300 pirates and a number of ships. It also needs a main battleship. It must even be modified by demonization, or it must be blessed by a priest..."
This configuration is basically half the naval strength of some small coastal principalities.
If you really have this kind of strength, even if you can find a good position in the interior or even among the navies of various countries, who will come out easily to fight life and death? Unless there are some special reasons.
Therefore, in the current sea off Dambras, there are only three real large-scale pirate groups: Black Skull, Tiger Shark, and Barbarians!
And two of the pirate groups are even under the control of Marquis Louise!
In addition, the opponent's apparent fleet should not be underestimated, including a professional slave-catching fleet.
This fleet has been at the forefront of the battle with the natives. It was armed with a large amount of gold coins by Marquis Louis, and its strength is even comparable to the elite navy of the kingdom!
Therefore, the Black Tiger Pirates and the Mermaid Pirates that were defeated by Leylin were, at best, just random fish recruited by the other party, not the main force.
Unless the Black Skull, Tiger Shark, and the slave fleet can be wiped out in one fell swoop, it will be able to deal a fatal blow to the trade of the Bode Islands.
However, this was almost impossible, and Leylin could only continue to attack from the outside, cutting off some of the opponent's wings first.
Even for the current Leylin, it is very unrealistic to be an enemy of a Marquis of a kingdom.
But Leylin was never an ordinary person, in order to achieve his goal, he was not afraid to use any means.
The most sane madness, or the craziest rationality, refers to people like him.
"To accomplish this goal, a large number of people are needed! Or allies!"
Of course, Leylin wouldn't be so stupid as to fight against the other party by himself.
Moreover, Marquis Louis is one thing, and Viscount Diem is another. Although Leylin set his sights on Marquis Louis from the beginning, the Viscount who coveted Faolan Island must bear the brunt.
This time, Leylin's goal in going to the pirate's port is not just to sell the stolen goods. In addition to the necessary manpower replenishment, he is also planning to find more supporters - with the unique characteristics of the Marquis Louis family, even if it is not intentional. , must have offended many people, Leylin just wanted to unite them all, or use the strength of these opponents.
Leylin pressed his fingers heavily on the label of Pirate's Harbor, and his eyes regained their silence.
