Codex Pirates

Chapter 162: Black Cloud Overwhelms the City (Part 2)

Selkirk looked coldly at the naval warship opposite, and a pirate next to him asked, "Second officer, what should I do?"

Selkirk didn't even look at him: "The captain said that the city is closed, so no one is allowed to come in, and no one is allowed to go out."

"But the opposite side is the navy..." the pirate hesitated.

Selkirk reached out and grabbed the pirate by the neck, and threw him off the bow with all his strength, cursing, "A trash who is greedy for life and afraid of death."

Selkirk then ordered another pirate beside him: "Send two ships to follow the warship. If there is any change, just fire and sink them."

With the lessons learned from that unlucky ghost just now, the pirate who heard the order dared not show the slightest hesitation, and hurriedly responded and left the bow.

After the pirate left, Selkirk continued to look at the naval warship. The distance between the two ships was not far away. A person with outstanding eyes like Selkirk could already see the heads of people surging on the opposite deck. It seemed that someone was looking through a telescope, and Selkirk sneered in the direction of the other person.

Selkirk was born in the North Sea, and has been to the great sea route. He has no fear of the navy in the East China Sea, and he was reprimanded by William for charging tolls for passing ships, so he dare not fight the order passed down by William. Discount.

This is why William asked Harden to send Selkirk to block the pier.

On the navy's warship, a lieutenant commander put down his binoculars, cursed in a low voice, and then asked the bystanders, "Is the sir's phone connected!?"

"Get through!" A soldier hastily handed over the phone bug.

Before the lieutenant commander could speak, a voice came from the other side of the phone bug: "Which group of pirates blocked the dock?"

The lieutenant commander glanced at the pirate flag fluttering in the wind. On the black flag, the skull seemed to be looking down at others, with a serious smile on the corner of his mouth, and the letter "m" on the three-cornered hat was quite conspicuous.

In fact, the vast majority of pirate flags in this world are drawn by random individuals, and many of them are graffiti works by laymen. It is William, a career elite in his previous life, who pays great attention to brand image. Even the pirate flags are specially hired by professionals. Designed, it can be called an anomaly in the pirate industry.

His pirate flag is definitely outstanding, and it can be remembered at a glance.

"It's from the Morgan Pirates." The lieutenant commander replied.

"Morgan Pirates?" The officer on the other end of the phone muttered suspiciously, and then ordered, "Don't act rashly, don't conflict with them."

The captain of the navy said anxiously: "Sir, but..."

The person on the other end of the phone bug interrupted unceremoniously: "Major, this is an order!"

After the other party finished speaking, he hung up the phone. The lieutenant commander gritted his teeth and glanced at the pirate ship opposite, and ordered unwillingly: "Let's return to the dock."

...

The people in the aristocratic district didn't know that the entire city's docks were blocked by William, or in other words, they were no longer in the mood to pay attention to the docks.

The turmoil in the slums has gradually expanded. Some thugs are no longer willing to rob the poor in the same area. Under the leadership of people with ulterior motives, they began to step into the civilian areas. What's more, some people have already gone to the noble areas to steal or even rob , the whole city was in chaos, even the aristocratic district was not spared.

The Minister of the Interior, Earl Rild, was also very decisive. Since he had made up his mind to eradicate Arcadio, he saw the commotion and ordered his guards to take the opportunity to attack Arcadio's manor. Unfortunately, Arcadio was prepared and his family arranged With a lot of manpower, a lot of new bolt-action rifles and revolvers hidden, plus the ability to use cover when defending, and Rield's side has no masters, Arcadio's manor could not be conquered for a while.

The originally quiet and peaceful aristocratic district suddenly turned into a battlefield full of bullets. Gunshots continued near Arcadio’s manor. Some discordant nobles hid in their homes and shivered. Over time, the city has changed.

Arcadio pretended to be calm, and wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead with a handkerchief. He had lost his previous composure. If today's event is successful, he will have power in the government. Even if a certain dynasty usurps the throne, it is not impossible. , then his Buendia family will definitely disappear.

"Has there been any news from the army?" Arcadio asked sharply.

The Minister of the Interior, Rield, has no status and must deal with Arcadio as soon as possible. When it is found that the manor cannot be captured, the army will definitely be dispatched.

Butler Eaton was startled by Arcadio's tone, and hurried out of the room, but came back with a phone bug after a while: "Master, the city garrison is dispatched."

Arcadio's eyebrows twitched, he quickly picked up the phone, dialed William, and after connecting, before William could speak, he hurriedly said: "The army has been dispatched by Rield, and you can also dispatch troops! "

"Okay," William asked in a calm tone, "how is your situation?"

Arcadio looked towards the window, the gunshots outside the window had intensified: "It can still be held."

The two exchanged a few more words, then hung up the phone. Arcadio breathed out, leaned back on the chair, and stroked his left chest, where his heart was beating violently.

Rueld dispatched the army, no matter what, he could not escape the charge of rioting. After today, he, Arcadio, is the undisputed figure in the Kingdom of Navia. Norton I, a foolish king, does not need to worry at all, he has been played by him from the beginning to the end Between the palms.

Only now there is another threat.

After calming down a bit, Arcadio got up and left the room, and came to the reception room. As soon as he opened the door, he saw two naval officers looking over with vigilance.

"This group of rebellious officials and thieves actually offended my distinguished guests." Arcadio stepped forward quickly pretending to be apologetic: "Colonel Mouse, the hospitality is not good. I am really sorry for you this time."

It was the newly promoted commander of the Sixteenth Division of the Navy, Colonel Mouse, who was treated as an honored guest by Arcadio.

The mouse listened to the continuous gunfire, and said unhappily: "Every time I come to your place, nothing good seems to happen, Lord Earl."

Arcadio raised his head and laughed, and clapped his hands. Butler Eaton had appeared in the room like a ghost carrying two boxes.

After Eaton put the boxes on the table, Arcadio pointed to one of the boxes and said to the mouse: "Colonel, this is what I told you about the Morgan Pirates and the great pirate Stolter. These people have been in the waters around the Kingdom of Funavia for many years, and Stolt is notoriously cunning. He has been hiding his head and showing his tail, hiding his true face. Unfortunately, I have the evidence of the crime. Now is the time for the Navy to uphold justice! "

Colonel Mouse was noncommittal: "The Morgan Pirates are not easy to mess with."

"You should be clear about the relationship between me and Roy." Arcadio pointed to the second box, "You can rely on the strength of your own branch or use the strength of other navies, as long as you do your best to help me Get rid of this group of pirates, then I will transfer 40% of the shares of my trading company to you, which is more than what I gave Roy at the beginning, and we can cooperate more in the future."
