Chapter 885 Mission
Port Royal.
Admiral Feili and several staff officers gathered together, looking at an ancient sea chart, with a hint of doubt on their faces: "The Sun Crown?"
"Yes... According to our information sources, the next goal of the Pirate King is to find the legendary place where the sun fell and obtain the crown of the Sun King!"
Lieutenant General Norton held a thin black stick and pointed to the crown mark in the middle of the map.
"This... is simply... ridiculous!"
Admiral Feili's fingers trembled a little: "Lieutenant General Norton, please explain, otherwise I will doubt whether you are worthy of your current position!"
"Obey, Your Excellency Commander!"
Lieutenant General Norton bowed humbly: "First of all... let's make it clear that this Sun King who once conquered one ancient dynasty after another is not a legend. I have found reliable evidence to prove that this king who once dominated a continent It did exist... and, he left behind his sun crown..."
"You... don't you believe that the legend is true: the Sun King was born from the sun, and his crown has the ability to summon armies endlessly. These soldiers are tireless and fearless of death, and have conquered one country after another for him , defeated all kinds of enemies... In the end, the Sun King was disheartened because he had no heirs, so he chose a deserted island in the sea as a burial place... In the mausoleum, he left his crown, who If you can own the sun crown, you can have the power to conquer the world..."
An aide recounted this mythical historical legend.
"With sea monsters, elves, dwarves, and so many legendary ships...then, another Sun Crown is not too much to bear!"
Lieutenant General Norton said sternly: "Also, I have found reliable evidence that the glorious Sun Dynasty really existed in history... Of course, from a scientific point of view, this is not our business, but that The band of pirates believed it, and thought that from the Sun Crown there was power against us."
"you mean……"
Admiral Feili's eyes lit up.
"Regardless of whether this news is true or not, we should dispatch, but the first target is definitely not the Sun Crown, but the group of pirates... In addition, in view of the uncertainty of the source of this information, I think it is necessary to increase the planning and preparation of pirates to lure the enemy ..."
Lieutenant General Norton had obviously thought it through long ago, and he was not able to talk about it.
"Well... Indeed... Our current strength is superior to that of the pirates. As long as we are prepared, we don't have many worries... If we give the Pirate King some time to rest, it will be against us!"
Admiral Fei Li directly made a decision.
"In addition... we have some energetic privateer captains under our command, which is also a good force."
Lieutenant General Norton added something pointedly, which immediately made everyone smile knowingly.
Although those privateer captains can also be regarded as Insman's sea power, in the eyes of these authentic navies, they still can't get on the table.
Moreover, for pirates, I also hate them from the bottom of my heart.
This operation, since they knew it might be a trap, they must be the cannon fodder to charge forward.
...
On the other side, Pirate King City.
Fang Yuan opened a nautical chart, looked at the imprint of the crown on it, and couldn't help chuckling.
The savings of the Pirate King City and several other pirate governors are really not a small amount, some gold and silver treasures are fine, but the most exciting thing for him is a few nautical charts marked with secret treasures.
It is no small matter to be able to be spotted by him without being discovered by the pirate governor.
Either the distance is far away, or it is impossible to interpret, or the route is too dangerous.
This nautical chart about the crown of the sun was presented by Wang Zhi, the pirate governor of the East.
Although this secret treasure belongs to the West, it is very embarrassing for him to fall into the hands of the pirate governor of the East. Because of the location problem, he is reluctant to make deals with other pirate governors, and he cannot come to treasure hunting with great fanfare, so it has been left idle there. .
Dedicating to Fang Yuan this time also means giving up a piece of chicken rib.
Nautical charts and the like, if you don't follow the map, you will definitely be able to get the treasure.
The above argots, hidden dangers, changes in ancient and modern routes, migration of herds of beasts, etc. must be taken into consideration.
After Fang Yuan obtained it, he estimated that even if he wanted to obtain the Sun Crown, he would have to use half of his strength.
Instead of hunting for treasure with great fanfare, and being caught by the navy and scheming, it is better to let the wind out and attract the main force of the navy to come to the decisive battle. At least take some initiative.
Of course, as for how miraculous the sun crown was, Fang Yuan didn't take it to heart at all.
Even if the Sun Crown summons an invincible army, as rumored, it's on land, not sea!
Above the sea, the ship is always the most important! Otherwise, the Sun Dynasty back then would not have been limited to one continent.
"Throwing the bait this time, the Navy will definitely take the bait, because they can't see the Pirate King City slowly developing on the side!"
Fang Yuan directly summoned the four pirate governors under his command, as well as the original subordinates: "We dispatched the entire army, and not a single sailing ship of the third class was left behind. Don't treat the Royal Navy as a fool, thinking that they will definitely fall into our trap, but Get ready for a tough fight!"
...
Three days later.
The junction of the Coral Sea and the Golden Sea, the Red Agate Sea.
A little bit of colorful light, reflected from the bottom of the sea, is eye-catching and eye-catching.
If it is a stunned young man who has just stepped into the sea, he may even think that the seabed is full of treasures.
But in fact, these bright colors do not represent wealth, but danger.
For some reason, the sea water in this sea area is so poisonous that even an old seal can't survive for five minutes.
In case of shipwreck on this sea, there is really no chance of drifting.
However, some sea monsters like sea water that humans cannot adapt to.
For example, a large nailfish, this kind of fish has a fierce temperament, its mouth is like a nail, it swims fast, and it likes to attack when it sees floating objects.
For an ordinary small sailboat, the bottom of the boat will become full of holes in a short time, and no one in the whole boat can escape.
Because of so many dangers, this piece of red agate sea area is regarded as a restricted area for navigation.
But at this time, a fleet of steel ships suddenly entered the sea.
A large number of black shadows swayed, suddenly driving the perched nailfish frenzied, and quickly attacked the suspended object.
Jingle!
After a sound of striking iron came, all the nailfish smashed their halberds and sank into the sand, and were defeated by the thick armor of the steam ironclad ship.
"Well... generally speaking, first-tier battleships are not afraid of nailfish attacks, but the defense of steam ironclad ships is obviously better... After the gang of pirates are wiped out, steam merchant ships can be developed to open up this route. Absolutely It's a great source of income!"
On the deck, Admiral Feili said with satisfaction.
"Your Excellency Commander, no traces of pirates have been found yet, but according to the letter from the previous privateer captain, we found a lot of discarded garbage. Judging from the freshness, we can catch up with those pirates in one day..."
Lieutenant General Norton looked a little solemn.
This time they brought fifty steam ironclad ships, which put all the wealth of the entire Royal Navy's new army on the gambling table, and he couldn't help but tremble with fear.
"Relax a little... Our main force is assembled, but the opponent can't do anything to us. Besides... Even if there are some traps, aren't there still a group of privateer captains in front of us to explore the way?"
Admiral Fiery didn't care about authenticity.
...
"A decisive battle... after the first battle, will the pirates end?"
On the Mermaid, Orlando held a bottle of rum and drank it without a sip.
Even though he was wearing a decent gentleman's clothes, he was still a pirate at heart.
Thinking of Feili's plan, it is a little sad.
Moreover, the navy's attitude towards these privateering captains is really chilling.
Probably because the pirates are about to be wiped out, Insman dominates the world, so he is unwilling to do even a little superficial effort before.
This time, it directly drove them to come out to die.
From Orlando's point of view, this mission is no different from sending death bait.
Although the strength of the pirates has been reduced, how can the unified power be underestimated after having the Pirate King?
There is absolutely no problem in overthrowing these vanguard troops.
Insman's move is clearly preparing to consume them all!
"Damn...even if the main force of the pirates perish in this battle, the seeds of the pirates will not disappear..."
Orlando gritted his teeth.
'Ding! '
At this moment, he suddenly heard a change, and couldn't help calling out the system:
"Trigger the main task - decision!"
"Mission description: Insman's vague alienation makes the pirate heart in your body ready to move. Everything will end in this sea battle! Follow your heart, make a camp choice, and play your best in the battle. Play more roles!"
"Mission rewards: After the catastrophe of the battle, the contribution value will be accumulated and distributed in the form of floating rewards!"
...
"Floating rewards? In other words, the higher the contribution value, the more rewards..."
Orlando murmured, looking at his right palm.
In his heart, does he yearn for more freedom, or does he want to be a decent nobleman?
"This answer... has been decided as early as the first day I boarded the ship! My heart! My heart!"
Orlando's eyes were dark, and he clenched his fists violently.
Crash!
The sea broke open, and a huge tentacle with a suction cup stretched out.
"What happened? What happened?"
A liaison officer sent by Insman ran out immediately.
Seeing this little character who was watching him, Orlando's eyes darkened, but the smile on his face was even warmer: "It's just a small matter, nothing..."
