The Rise of the European Emperor

At this time, Captain Niharu, Tailar's adjutant, suddenly said:

"My lord, why don't we send another ship to divert that warship away?"

"Lead that ship away?" Tailal was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood what Nehalu meant, that is to "tune the tiger away from the mountain" again.

Then, Tailar separated a ship and attacked the island of São Jorge, which is relatively close to Terceira. São Jorge Island is very close to Terceira Island, and the request for help was sent to Porto Heroes in half a day.

Hearing that there was only one pirate ship, Rui Silva dispatched the last warship without even thinking about it. And his adjutant Ravallo reminded:

"My lord, there will be no warships to protect Hero Harbor now..."

Rui Silva waved his hand and said:

"It's okay. The Hero City is an extremely strong fortress, and it is protected by artillery. There are hundreds of garrisons in the city, and they are not afraid of pirate attacks at all. Moreover, Terceira Island has only one port that can call at Hero Port. But the pirate ships dare not Land again, because you will be hit by the artillery on the city wall..."

What Rui Silva said is correct. In this era, big ships dare not dock casually without professional docks. Big boats are not small boats, and they are not afraid of running aground. If the boat ran aground, the sailors could push the boat away with all their strength. And if the big ship runs aground, it will be over immediately and can only wait for the tide to rise. You know, there is no lifting machinery in this era, and ships rely on the power of nature. Terceira Island is not big, and there is only one good port in the surrounding area, Hero Port. Even if pirate ships want to attack Terceira Island, it will be troublesome for ships to dock. Before the pirate ships attacked São Miguel Island and São Jorge Island, they all docked at the only local port and landed. However, there was no artillery counterattack in the castle at the local port, and they could only watch the pirates land at the pier, not daring to go out of the city to fight. Because there are only dozens of troops stationed on the two islands, and they dare not provoke pirates with hundreds of people.

After the only warship in Hero Port left, a pile of smoke rose from the island, and then three pirate ships stopped in the sea area 10 kilometers west of Hero Port.

Subsequently, dozens of rafts were thrown down, carrying 150 sailors in batches, and began to rush to land on the beach...

Because it was broad daylight, their behavior was naturally seen clearly by the Portuguese on the shore. Then, someone notified this situation to Rui Silva in Hero City 10 kilometers away...

"What? One or two hundred pirates used rafts to forcibly land near Silva's plantation?"

Rui Silva panicked, and he didn't expect that these pirates would not play their cards according to common sense and use rafts to land on the beach. You know, it's easy to land on the beach with a raft, but you can't take away large amounts of property. Therefore, generally pirates attack ready-made ports. In this way, the wharf on the port can be used to ship the large-scale property that has been robbed. It would be more convenient to send rafts and boats ashore. However, where there is no port, there must be no towns nearby, and there is no oil and water. What can you get by robbing those small villages?

Originally, Rui Silva also felt a little strange. It wasn't until the second group of messengers came to tell him that the pirates had taken away the slaves who had been captured from the Silva plantation a few months ago, that Rui Silva suddenly realized, and then his face turned pale...

"So that's how it is...so that's how it is..."

No matter how stupid he was, he could still react—what kind of pirate is this? It is clearly the army of the Beihai Kingdom...

The opponent's method is very clever, first pretending to be a pirate and attacking San Miguel Island,

The 6 warships in Port of Heroes were mobilized, and later they attacked São Jorge Island, and the only warship left behind was mobilized. Then, at this time, they began to land and attack the Silva plantation, snatching away the former enslaved sailors from the North Sea...

This is a series of links, and the means are very clever. Moreover, they sent one or two hundred people to land, which made Rui Silva in Hero City not dare to act rashly. Because there are only more than a hundred soldiers in the garrison in his hands. Not to mention that you may not be able to defeat the enemy in battle, and Rui Silva dare not send everyone out of the city, and give up guarding Hero Port, the most important port city in the Azores...

Therefore, he could only watch helplessly as the soldiers of the Marine Corps of the North Sea State rescued the 38 enslaved sailors in the Silva Manor onto the ship. Before leaving, as if to vent their anger, the Beihai sailors burned all the houses in the Silva plantation...

Thinking of the news that his baronie had been attacked from the land before, Rui Silva still didn't understand - what he did, they had already found out clearly. Moreover, a strong revenge was given.

He robbed the transport ship of the North Sea State this time, but made a profit of more than 30,000 gold coins. However, the loss of the barony has exceeded 20,000 gold coins.

The most frightening thing was that his only son, who was only a few years old, was kidnapped for a long time, which scared the people of Baron Silva to death. Although half a day later, the kidnappers brought him back. However, there was a small note on the young master who sent it back, which said - I can't tender your country to death, but I can tender you...and your son...

Combined with the so-called "pirate" incident in the Azores this time, Rui Silva understood everything - it was all done by Marin from the North Sea country. The opponent's methods are clever and vicious. Compared with him, I was simply too weak. The most frightening thing is that his people can kill his only son at any time...

Thinking of this, Rui Silva slumped on the chair and murmured:

"I provoked a ruthless person who shouldn't be provoked..."

However, the matter is not over...

...

A few days after the rescue operation, a Portuguese merchant ship laden with Indian spices was hijacked off the coast of Madeira...

It was "Captain Jack" and his "Black Pearl" who were in charge of the robbery that Marin valued very much. Because of the modification, the "Black Pearl" can only run a little faster than ordinary ships. Therefore, the unlucky Portuguese transport ship was overtaken without accident, and the whole ship was captured.

In this era, neither English pirates nor Barbary pirates had yet emerged in the Atlantic Ocean. Only golden waters such as the Mediterranean Sea, the North Sea, and the Baltic Sea are the areas where pirates operate. Therefore, the Portuguese were also negligent, and were caught by "Captain Jack" and "Black Pearl"...

After capturing the Portuguese merchant ship, "Captain Jack" raised his orchid fingers, jumped on the captured Portuguese transport ship, and said in a strange way in his unproficient Portuguese:

"Relax, babies! We're pirates, pirates with principles! So, we won't kill people indiscriminately..."

But as soon as the Portuguese crew breathed a sigh of relief, "Captain Jack" ruthlessly ordered to kill the captain and first mate of the Portuguese transport ship...

The Portuguese sailors were dumbfounded—did they agree not to kill people? You lied to us?

At this time, "Captain Jack" raised his orchid fingers again and spoke:

"My dears, don't be afraid. I killed those two guys just as a form of revenge. Tell your master the specific reason. Baron Rui Silva is to blame!"

"In addition, I want to weigh out spices worth 38,000 ducats as compensation for the losses Baron Silva caused us..."

"I want to emphasize again - we are principled pirates, if we say kill your whole family, we will kill your whole family! Well, this time we are just getting back what belongs to us... Let me tell you, we want to take away 33,000 gold coins spices, as cargo compensation. The other 4,000 gold coins are compensation for destroyed ships (because the 250-level merchant ship was too special in shape and could not be sold, it was destroyed by Rui Silva). As for the remaining 1,000 gold coins, it is Used as a pension for the dead captain and mate..."

These are all what Marin deliberately asked "Captain Jack" to tell the Portuguese sailors. He just wanted to tell the Portuguese-I am very polite and only get back my own losses! As for the loss of this ship, you can blame Baron Silva...

In short, Rui Silva is in trouble this time. Because, the loss of the ship's spices, and all the losses of those Azores manors during the implementation of the "Turning the Tiger from the Mountain" strategy are all to be blamed on him...

After taking away the spices worth 38,000 gold coins, "Captain Jack" happily let the Portuguese spice ship go...

Before leaving, "Captain Jack" raised his orchid finger and repeatedly emphasized:

"We are principled pirates. We are very principled and never mess around! Remember!"
