Chapter 870 Solomon

In the 667th year of the world calendar, many things really happened in the world in this year.

Insman's Royal Navy defeated Blackbeard, the pirate governor of the Nightmare Sea, and since then opened the way to dominate the sea.

And its theoretical basis is the "On Sea Power" published by a famous economist in this year.

With this brilliant victory, the terms Donald the economist and the steam ironclad ship were repeatedly mentioned by the countries on the continent of Ofal and received great praise.

In that sea battle, although the pirate prince and the ghost ship both had eye-catching performances, the biggest winner was undoubtedly Insman!

Not only defeated Blackbeard's main force in one fell swoop, but also plowed all the pirate forces in the Nightmare Sea.

Since then, those pirates in the Nightmare Sea have completely become history.

Occasionally there are still a few fish that slip through the net, and they can only survive under the increasingly strict arrest of the navy.

Insman, the island country, with the help of this shareholder wind, not only controlled the Nightmare Sea and monopolized the interests of the entire golden route, but also used many privateer captains to plunder the merchant ships of other countries, and even attacked their lands, trying their best to It hinders the development of the maritime industry of various countries.

Even, with the reputation of "wherever the sun shines, Insman rules", it is regarded as the most powerful ocean empire.

After occupying the Nightmare Sea, Insman didn't give up as soon as he saw it, but actively attacked and set his target on the adjacent Golden Sea.

Compared to the sea of ​​nightmares where the weather is capricious, the sea of ​​gold is a paradise flowing with gold and spices. The colonies and plantations of various countries have created a steady stream of wealth for them.

In particular, the Solomon Strait guards the main channel connecting the East and the West, and it is Insman's largest stronghold in the Golden Sea.

At this time, the Governor of the Solomon Straits was still an old acquaintance of Fang Yuan - the father of his beautiful captive, Viscount Kuiya.

"Sunshine, beach...beauties...it's a pity that bikinis are missing..."

On the Red Lotus, Fang Yuan ordered his subordinates to bring Elizabeth up, and said with a light smile.

"..."

Elizabeth looked up at him and was too lazy to say anything.

The long career as a captive has long since wiped out all the temperament and arrogance of this noble lady.

"Why? Isn't our Miss Elizabeth excited at all? Because...you are really going to be free..."

"You pirates...what on earth are you trying to do? Gods...even if you auction me off again, I will admit it!" Elizabeth muttered resignedly.

"Oh! Let me tell you, this is the Golden Sea, and it's only a day's journey from the Solomon Strait!"

Fang Yuan said lightly.

As soon as the words were finished, a gleam flashed in the eyes of our Miss Elizabeth. Obviously, she was not as desperate as she appeared on the surface.

"And this time, if there are no accidents, the governor will definitely pay a high price to redeem you! Cassonia... I leave the contact matter to you, I don't care how much you plan to blackmail, but it must have the skin of the sea god With that proviso! Gips will assist you temporarily."

"Please rest assured, I have divination, this transaction, Governor Kuiya will definitely agree."

The black-toothed witch covered her mouth and smiled, a bit coquettish.

Although her beauty is not perfect, there are many pirates on the ship who still have green light in their eyes.

'These pirates are really like wolves. If they don't eat meat for a period of time, they will have trouble... What's more, they have also gained a lot of benefits through this naval battle. '

Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan's eyes flashed immediately.

In this sea battle, Insman can be regarded as the first winner, and he will be ranked next.

Among other things, just getting Blackbeard is an incredible harvest.

The pirate governor basically didn't offer a reward, because no country would dare to offend them like this.

But at this time, Blackbeard was directly offered a reward of one million Galleons by Insman, plus a title of hereditary viscount, breaking the record of bounties offered by pirates in one fell swoop.

Of course, since Fang Yuan also appeared in the battle in the ghost ship and rescued Blackbeard, his bounty also increased sharply, so-so 700,000 Galleons. took his name.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan ordered someone to take Elizabeth down, and then "invite" Blackbeard over.

"How is it? Is the injury healed?"

To be honest, Fang Yuan's avatar is also a mortal at this time, so of course he likes the environment of the Red Lotus more.

As for Blackbeard, with his serious injury before, putting him on the ghost ship is no different from murder.

Although he was already the captain of the Ghost at this time, that ship had long been used to operating without a captain. Fang Yuan only needed to occasionally pass through two demigods and give them general goals.

Not long after, Blackbeard came over with a cold face.

His attitude towards Fang Yuan at this time is also quite complicated.

Strictly speaking, the other party has saved his life, but now he is under house arrest, and then contacted with his previous behavior of chasing and killing the other party... This kind of grievance and resentment is really extremely complicated.

"What else do you need from me?"

Seeing Fang Yuan, Blackbeard's eyes darkened, and he said grimly: "With that woman, her father will probably agree to the conditions, hand over the Sea God's skin, and let us pass through the Solomon Strait!"

As Insman's most important stronghold in the Golden Sea, the Solomon Strait's defense force is definitely not weak.

Not only have permanent fortifications and forts been built at various commanding heights, but there is also a steam armored fleet of more than ten ships stationed at all times, and the leader is also a rear admiral.

This kind of configuration, even the pirate prince wants to win, there is a lot of trouble.

"That's right...you have to go through the Solomon Strait to embark on the route in the treasure map..." Fang Yuan nodded: "As for you... don't worry! You are very useful to me. At this time, are you interested in becoming my treasure first? Your pirate captain? I can give you 90% of your privateer harvest!"

"Not interested!" Blackbeard's face was completely dark, and he directly rejected Fang Yuan's solicitation.

joke!

As the former governor of the Nightmare Sea, if he works for someone else at this time, Blackbeard will definitely be ridiculed to death by all the pirates!

"Tell me...you won't have such naive thoughts! What is the purpose of saving me?" Blackbeard said straight to the point: "The benefit of a treasure map does not seem to be enough for you to start a war with the Royal Fleet."

"...After obtaining the wealth of the Solo pirates, I will go directly to the pirate king's city!"

Fang Yuan was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "The rise of Insman has attracted the fear of all the pirates, so the new pirate conference will be held there soon! We need a unified leader, an arbitrary king, Come compete with Insman!"

"Your target turned out to be the Pirate King?"

Blackbeard immediately lost his voice.

Pirate Kings don't exist in every generation, in fact, they are very rare.

After all, it is very difficult to convince ordinary rebellious pirates, let alone those pirate governors.

"That's right, since you are a pirate, how can you not take a look at the highest throne!" Fang Yuan pointedly said: "To become a pirate king, you must first be nominated by a pirate governor. In the past few sessions, you all nominated yourself..."

"So, you want to take me to the pirate conference and get my nomination?" Blackbeard spread his hands with a wry smile: "Then you may be disappointed, after all, I am no longer the pirate governor of the Nightmare Sea! Those pirates, not necessarily Will recognize what I say as a governor who has lost his territory!"

"Haha... The rules of pirates are that there are no rules. I'm not as naive as you!"

Fang Yuan waved his hand: "All I want is your nominated name, it's as simple as that!"

"The name of the nomination... hiss..."

After understanding the meaning of Fang Yuan's words, even a man as bold as Black Beard couldn't help but gasp: "Don't tell me you want to..."

"Hush! Don't say it! Don't say it!"

There was a icy cold smile on Fang Yuan's face.

...

under the moonlight.

Several warships came quietly and set down their boats on a deserted island.

"Those damned pirates dared to kidnap my Elizabeth until now..."

Viscount Kuiya is a decent gentleman, and even a qualified politician who can't express his emotions or anger, but today he is a bit at a loss.

Ever since the news of his daughter's encounter with pirates came, he had been worried about Elizabeth's safety.

But that group of pirates sent him news only today.

"Major General Jackson, I will leave everything to you!"

Thinking of this, he sincerely looked at an admiral next to him.

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency Governor, once I confirm that Miss Elizabeth is safe, I will arrest all those pirates and hang them to death!"

Major General Jackson, a handsome young man in his thirties, immediately patted his chest to assure him.

"No! What I mean is that it is not required to capture the pirates, as long as our safety is guaranteed... Because according to the last news, Elizabeth finally appeared and fell into the hands of the great slave merchant Sisfrey. Now there are Probably, it is in the hands of the Purgatory Pirates..."

Viscount Guia took out a clean white handkerchief and touched the sweat.

"You mean... that witch who came to blackmail her is a member of the Purgatory Pirates?"

A sneer flashed across Major General Jackson's face: "Then I'm more interested... Can the mere Purgatory Pirates still be able to compete with my steel fleet?"

"No! You don't understand..."

Just when Viscount Kuiya was about to say something, the boat had already arrived at the shore.

They got off the boat one by one, came to the center of the island, and immediately saw Fang Yuan and the others coming from the other side, and Elizabeth was caught in the middle.

"my daughter……"

No matter how scheming Kuiya was, seeing this scene, he couldn't help but speak out excitedly.

But Major General Jackson next to him exclaimed, as if he had been greatly frightened.
