Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 648 201. Pirates don't rob, go to collect taxes! It's outrageous!

"Captain! Captain! Something has happened."

On the island of Tol Barad, in the courtyard of the small fortress in the center of Losberg Town, Laike is sleeping soundly, making up for the exhaustion of the mind recently. Laike just dreamed that he was with a woman with white hair and no facial lines. When the elves turned upside down, they were shaken up by Anaris Yuejun who rushed into the room screaming.

In a daze, Laike opened his eyes and saw a skinny black-skinned elf who hadn't recovered from the loss of magic power. All the charm in his heart was thrown away in an instant.

He himself soon sobered up.

He yawned a lot and asked:

"What's the matter, so excited, calm down, okay? You are the eldest lady of the Yuejun family, and you grew up receiving noble education.

If your sister, who is a political consultant in Suramar, sees you looking crazy now, she will definitely pick up the whip and beat you. "

Hearing Bu Laike's words, Anaris blinked, straightened his clothes immediately, showing a stable and proud look, but still said in a serious tone:

"What a big deal! Captain.

Several ships came to the pier, as well as the black flagship of Gilneas that attacked us earlier, the one called 'Northern Lord', which was driven back by our murloc pirates.

Returning with them were two second-class warships in need of repair, three third-class warships, and a group of pirates who defected to Gilneas and rebelled.

They were brought back by Captain Annie, and they were being inspected at the pier, Zalak, Maim, and Eudora all passed by. They asked me to ask you to come over and preside over the big event. "

"What is the flagship of Gilneas?"

Bo Laike stretched his waist, grinned and said:

"That's obviously the flagship of our undead pirates' North Sea Fleet, and it's not called 'Northern Lord', but I want to call it 'Northern Queen'.

Remember? "

"Uh, when it comes to being shameless, you are the best!"

Anaris gave Bo Laike a thumbs up and a big thumbs up, as she waited patiently for the pirate to wash up, and then watched him uncork a bottle of wine to "clear up".

When following Bo Laike out of the yard, the black-skinned elf hesitated and whispered to Bo Laike:

"Well, Captain, the red flagship we captured is the 'Greymane', can you?"

"Ok?"

Bo Laike let out a dissatisfied nasal sound, and Anaris changed his words quickly:

"I mean, that red ship, the Pride of Moon County.

I want to reserve it as my ship, and my mages have gone to see it. There is a spell-casting platform specially reserved for spellcasters on that ship, which perfectly fits the combat mode of our Nightborne pirates.

You already have such a mighty flagship as the Nagfar, and you definitely don’t like it, so, what I mean is”

"It's not impossible to give it to you."

Bo Laike drank his wine and said in a drawn out tone:

"But I captured that ship with my own hands. The captains below are all eagerly waiting to take it, especially Eudora. Her beloved Alpaca was destroyed, and Wharton needs at least a few repairs. moon.

This will require a new flagship."

"I'll settle them!"

The black-skinned elf pushed his purple pirate captain hat, rolled up his sleeves and said excitedly:

"Isn't it money? It's such a simple question. Look, I also have a copy of your 'hard work' for the captain."

She quietly stuffed a thick red envelope to Bu Laike, the pirate took it in his hand and glanced at it, there were several anonymous goblin gold cards inside.

This made him nod in satisfaction.

This black-skinned elf is becoming more and more "sensible".

"Oh, I suddenly remembered a troublesome thing."

Bu Laike rubbed his forehead pretendingly, and said with a dramatic sigh as if he suddenly realized:

"I learned from the Albatross Chamber of Commerce in Kul Tiras that the first batch of six decommissioned warships they bought from the Kurdish Navy are about to sail to Booty Bay.

The goblins have also prepared new naval guns to modify our ships, but the fleet has been expensive recently, and Eudora has complained to me several times that she cannot make ends meet.

Where should the money for this armament transformation come from? It's really a headache. "

"Pretend! Just pretend!"

Anaris complained in his heart:

"You just snatched so many treasures from Dalaran, and you are so rich, how can you be short of money? Didn't you say that you can use this money to change the fleet?

To be honest, I'm still staring at the 'startup capital' that my sister gave me.

In terms of being shameless, I really want to learn more from you. "

But the complaints are all complaints, it is absolutely impossible for Anaris to give up the red flagship.

That ship was a top-tier warship that the Gilneans had stolen from Kul Tiras first-class warship blueprints.

Although it is not as good as Dai Lin's Wang Quan at sea, it is already the most perfect warship that can be found in Azeroth. It has both speed, sturdiness and firepower, and its appearance is also very beautiful. It has the majesty of a flagship .

It has four artillery decks, two large-caliber main guns, and including the two-sided naval guns on the deck, a ship can carry more than 150 naval guns, and the full crew is 1,000 people.

It is also equipped with a spell-casting platform for spellcasters. When it was built, a place for the magic circle inscription was reserved inside the battleship. It is simply a proper "sea fortress".

Even among the four fleets of the most powerful Kul Tiras Armada, there are only twelve such first-class warships in total.

If you use an inappropriate metaphor, this is simply the "Certificate of the Emperor of Europe" that can be drawn from the "card pool" of the endless sea.

This is the flagship that Anaris wants.

Now that it was finally snatched from the people of Gilneas, how could there be any reason to give up?

So she gritted her teeth and tentatively said to Bu Laike:

"Then I will personally contribute one-third of the cost of the firepower transformation of our six ships?"

"Only one third?"

The smelly pirate said very dissatisfied:

"With such a meager contribution to the fleet, it is difficult for me to convince other captains to give you that beautiful ship. It is an epic-class sailing battleship that I have personally touched.

Although it is still not as good as the Nagfar, it is already a very, very rare good. "

Hearing this, Anaris gritted his teeth again, gasped and said:

"Then I will pay half, this is the limit.

After I get that ship, I will also ask the arcanists of Nazaras Academy to modify it so that it is more in line with the combat style of our Nightborne pirates.

In the previous naval battle, our Nightborn pirates showed their hips, isn't it because ordinary ships can't guide magic power well on the sea?

Captain, our strength is stronger, isn't it equivalent to the strength of undead pirates?

It's a win-win. "

"Okay, half and half."

Bu Laike waved his hands, showing a generous and reluctant look, and said:

"Give the money to Eudora in a while, and then go to receive your ship, but I didn't say that, the group of nightborn pirates under your command are a bit too hip.

If they are still like this in the next naval battle, I will not be polite. "

"I see, Captain, I must train them well!"

Anaris burst into ecstasy.

She didn't go to the pier with Laike anymore, and hurried back to her pirate ship, and wanted to design a set of "external paint" in the style of Shaldorei for her new flagship.

This is a major artistic event and cannot be sloppy.

In the eyes of these hypocritical night children, elegant appearance is also part of combat effectiveness.

And Bu Laike, who got a fortune from his subordinates, was full of nature. He took his own wolf and bear and walked towards the pier. The huge black ship came into sight.

Bo Laike didn't even have to reach out and touch it to guess that this ship must be of epic quality, too.

Maybe there will be a few special attribute entries, after all, it is the ship that Dai Lin has driven, and the attributes are definitely not much different.

But he doesn't care about that anymore.

Anyway, these ships in front of me are going to be sent out.

The rebuilding of the North Sea Pirates is about to be put on the agenda. Laike wants to travel all over the world, but he doesn't have time to go to the Northrend sea area himself, but the North Sea is a sea area he can't give up.

Although that place is far from the golden waters of the South China Sea, it is completely a backwater.

But no matter how poor the place is, some oil and water can be squeezed out.

Bu Laike also expects that after monopolizing the Northern Sea Route, the North Sea pirates will feed back his main fleet. This is an investment in the future, so it is natural to spend more money.

"Good morning, captain! I am lucky to live up to my fate!"

Anne Bonn, who had changed back into the uniform of the pirate captain, was sitting on the stone of the pier drinking.

Seeing Bo Laike coming, he immediately jumped off the stone, and with a sense of complacency, he gave a pirate salute to Bo Laike.

Beside her were two guys in the uniform of a Gilnean navy captain, the one on the left with a wooden leg, the one on the right with a crimson vrykul battle sword.

They also followed Annie to salute Bo Laike. After Annie finished speaking, Matchleg Dan took a step forward, took the Gilnean-style command sword around his waist with both hands, and handed it to Bo Laike.

He said in the standard flattering tone of pirates:

"Commander Bu Laike, the evil 'undead', we humbly offer you the gift of surrender, please accept us into your mighty fleet.

We will use our knives and boats to plunder endless wealth for you. "

"I don't want this thing!"

Bu Laike glanced at the ornate command sword, shook his head and said:

"You shouldn't have given it to me either."

"Hahaha, as I said earlier, the captain is a generous man who keeps his word!"

Annie laughed and snatched the commanding sword and put it on her waist. She put her hips on her hips and said to the two old men beside her:

"Speak, tell your request, don't worry, the captain will not make things difficult for you."

The two pirates will be a little awkward.

But Laike shrugged, without them asking, and said to the three North Sea pirates in front of him:

"I made an agreement with Annie before that I want half of everything she seized in this operation, so I want three of the six ships you brought.

Keep those three third-class warships and include them in my main fleet.

The Queen of the North will be under the command of Anne in the future, and will serve as the flagship of the North Sea lunatics.

The Wolf's Mane continued to be under the command of Captain Dan, and the Red Blade went to Captain Conrad. Besides the three of you, there is your old-timer, Captain Al Reiss, who commands the ghost ship Sister of Mercy.

The four of you form the 'Madman Gang', and will take charge of Northrend sea affairs in the future.

The pirates under your command are recruited by themselves. How many you can recruit depends on your ability, so I will let it go. "

After saying this, the three old pirates immediately beamed with joy.

Anne didn't even have to say anything about the conditions from Laike, but Anne took the initiative to say:

"In the future, a quarter of all the wealth that our North Sea lunatics plunder will be sent to Tol Barad Island as a dividend for the fleet."

"Don't use the word dividend, I don't like it, it's the same as doing business."

Bu Laike waved his hand, he said:

"This thing is called 'plunder tax', and I have to pay a tax every time I rob it. In addition, I didn't let you go to Beihai to let you carry out attacks there.

Since you want to rule, you have to look like a rule. Rogue Port should be almost done. There is a place where the 'colonial tax', 'toll tax', and 'commercial tax' are collected.

I will send someone to manage it.

Looting casually is something that little pirates with no style can do, and plundering is just a way for us big fleets to protect our own interests.

Don't use a knife or a gun to accomplish what can be done with intimidation.

I will stop here.

If you are messing around in Beihai and messing up my 'leek field', be careful I will trouble you! Do you understand? "

"Understood, Captain!"

Anne was the first to answer.

The other two pirates were thoughtful, but they quickly came to their senses and also responded loudly.

"I leave the contact on Coldarra to you."

Bo Laike whispered to Annie:

"During the holidays, remember to send gifts to the blue dragons, pick some expensive things that are not so tacky, and maintain a good relationship, but don't go too often.

The blue dragons are a bunch of psychos, who knows what stupidity they can do.

In addition, remember to win over the tusrusmen, bearmen, and vrykul, and make a lot of friends. Only by uniting with the natives can they rule the North Sea better.

Also, keep an eye on the Drakkari trolls, and report any situation within them as soon as possible. "

"Well, I won't let you down!"

Annie replied with a serious face.

Laike looked left and right, put his hand on Anne's shoulder, and poured a ray of Halaz's divine power that he had drawn from Zul'jin's corpse into the female pirate's body.

Let Annie scream, holding her head and shaking her body, this gift is too "heavy", and the female pirate who is not very strong can't bear it.

But with this ray of divine power in his body, Bu Laike's appointed "Pirate King of the North Sea" can finally protect himself a bit.

It won't be killed by greedy adventurers who don't know where they come from for inexplicable reasons like rewards of a few gold coins, or just a few pieces of junk equipment.

"Do it well, you guys."

Bu Laike took a sip of his wine, drew cakes for them and said:

"Beihai is just the beginning, our future is bright, but if anyone falls behind, don't blame me for abandoning him ruthlessly. In my fleet, there is no need for trash!"
