Codex Pirates

Chapter 55: Dog Eats Dog

"When I first went upstairs, I noticed that many people in the lobby were drinking brazenly. The wine all came from the Earl, right?" William understood a lot of problems after thinking about it.

"That's right, the king trusts him very much. It is said that the reason why the king promulgated the prohibition order is also related to his instigation." Sherlock gritted his teeth. , control the national wine industry, and take all the profits into his pocket. The smuggling network we worked so hard to build was probably taken by him, so he was attacked. No wonder we couldn't enter the market of Kalmar City anyway. "

Aramis brought over an unopened bottle of red wine at this time, and William turned the bottle after taking it. After observing the label and traces of packaging, he frowned and said, "Is this our product?"

Aramis nodded with an ugly expression. Arcadio and his gang not only robbed their business, but also took their local goods into their pockets, and then sold them openly. If William didn't suppress them, This gang of impulsive young men wanted to kill Arcadio's house directly and chop him up.

Sherlock was even more angry than Aramis and others. After arriving in Kalmar City, the first thing he did was to inquire about the whereabouts of his father's body, but he was told that the body had been thrown into the sea long ago.

My own father, a decent businessman, died in such a humiliating way in a foreign land, and even the body could not be found.

For Sherlock, the only meaning for him to be alive now is to avenge his father, which is his obligation as the only son of Thassarian!

"William, with your skills and some preparations, it's not difficult to kill Arcadio," Sherlock said with red eyes, "Redbeard, you've already sneaked onto the ship and can poison you."

"What about the navy?" William asked back. "The mastermind of the navy has not been confirmed yet. I have asked Ajin to investigate. Maybe there will be news soon."

William leaned forward, put his hands on Sherlock's shoulders, stared into his eyes and said, "But I want to say, is it enough to just kill them?"

"I don't think it's enough," William replied without waiting for Sherlock to speak, "we should treat them as they treat us, and we will return double what they lost. Their lives are just interest, and I Not only want their lives, but I want everything from them!"

Shylock's breath became thicker. Of course he wanted to cut Arcadio and the others into pieces as quickly as possible. Every day he endured was a torment for him, but he knew that now he could only rely on William and the others. In order to complete revenge, the gang must obey William's plan, not to mention that William will never give up revenge, after all, Wallon was killed by the other party.

Sherlock was silent for a moment before asking, "What are you going to do?"

"Let them bite dogs first, and then we will be the first to get rid of Barbarossa and take the Redbeard Pirates," William said.

"Redbeard" Barbarossa seems to be the strongest, but in fact he is the best to deal with William and others, because Redbeard's biggest reliance is force, as long as he has comparable force and can get Arcadio And the trust of the naval forces, then William will be able to replace him.

During the time he was lurking on the Redbeard Pirates, based on what he saw and heard, he already had a better plan in mind.

...

After William and Sherlock discussed and perfected the next action plan, they left the tavern and returned to the street.

Seeing his nonchalant appearance, no one would have guessed that he was just discussing with his companions how to kill his own captain.

A shout came from behind, and William looked back, only to find that it was the deputy captain, Reis, walking towards him at a fast pace, and there were a few old pirates beside him, all of whom were elites on the ship.

William's heart trembled, and his hand seemed to fall on the handle of the scimitar unintentionally. He has practiced Iai Slash countless times. Whether it is a bamboo mat, a wooden stake, a big tree, bluestone or a human body, it is unbearable in front of his Iai Swordsmanship. A blow, concealed and fast, with strong explosive power.

If Reis entered his attack range and did not make defensive actions and reactions in advance, he would be sure to kill him with one blow.

William pretended to be puzzled, but his body under the loose clothes was ready to exert strength. Lace didn't notice his evil intentions at all, and said from a distance, "I'm looking for you everywhere."

"Did something happen?" William relaxed at this moment. If Lace really found out his secret, it would be impossible to say this from a long distance without making any attack.

"It's a little trouble, come with me." Lace came to William with a hint of impatience on his face, but he didn't explain too much, motioned William to follow him, and then continued to walk towards the intersection.

An old pirate explained to William during the journey.

There are hundreds of people on board the Redbeard Pirates. All these people are out of production, and the daily eating and drinking is a huge consumption.

Some living supplies can be obtained by looting or extorting villages and towns, but the ordnance consumed in battle is not so easy to obtain.

After a naval battle, the shells fired, the throwing axes and knives thrown, the bullets fired, the gunpowder burned, the sword broken... All these are not small numbers, and pirates can't avoid it. Naval battles, so they need a steady supply channel.

Because it is backed by a powerful local snake, the military supplies of the Redbeard Pirates are mainly supplemented by Arcadio. The latter usually relies on the transfer of supplies from the Navia Kingdom army to complete the delivery, because they have a good relationship with Colonel Roy. Occasionally, they can bring some new navy weapons and equipment to the Redbeard Pirates.

However, "Redbeard" Barbarossa can think of a relationship with William, form a network of relationships with the other two forces, and run amok in the East China Sea. Even if he is not a genius, he is definitely not a fool. The important lifeline is handed over to others without leaving any way out.

The Redbeard Pirates are in Kalmar City, and there are also arms dealers they know. Compared with Arcadio, who is just a mouse, he is more professional, so Barbarossa often decides to buy from the other party. arms.

But since he was a merchant, he naturally wouldn't just sell goods to the Redbeard Pirates.

Among these buyers, there are kingdom representatives who want to launch a war in secret, thus hoarding military supplies in private, and there are also notorious pirates.

The information that the old pirate told William was related to the latter. Rathben was going to find an arms dealer he knew to buy supplies, but he got information that there was a pirate group that was not very good with the Redbeard Pirates. It happened to be there too.

Because the captain Barbarossa was not there, and Reis didn't know how many people the other party had brought, he thought of gathering a group of good players to go together. Don't mind taking the opportunity to fight and kill each other.

"Who is on the other side? Dare to be our enemy?" William asked.

"Redbeard" Barbarossa's bounty was as high as 19 million Baileys, and this was because he colluded with Arcadio and the Navy to place many charges on other pirates.

The average bounty of the Eastern Sea Pirates is only three to four million yuan, and more than ten million Baileys. They are already considered great pirates, so William is inevitably curious.

Reis, who had been walking in front of the team with a sullen face, suddenly turned his head when he heard William's words, and after glancing at William, he said word by word: "Chef Pirates, 'Red Foot', Zhe general!"
