The Witcher: Son of the Planes
Chapter 18 Bloody plot
Black Skull.
The days have been getting more and more difficult recently. Faced with the pressing pressure of Admiral Hedram Berg, Jack chose to give in and not fight. Armand did not bring any good news after returning from the Port of Auckland. On the contrary, the pirates on the ship were clamoring for a vote every day, and they were already very dissatisfied with Jack's current practice of avoiding war.
"Boss, the brothers have been quite vocal lately, saying that you are timid and not worthy of being a pirate." Jimmy said carefully.
"...I don't want to make unnecessary sacrifices. Recently, the Principality Navy has been very aggressive in cracking down on pirates. Not only us, but also other pirates have gained little."
"Yes, but brothers, don't care about this. After all, we don't have much income at hand. How can we be pirates if we don't rob? Boss, if we do something, even if we meet Hedram, we may not be afraid of him."
"... It's better to stay away. When the noise subsides, I can lead everyone to make a big deal. I have to be responsible for my brothers. Many brothers have already gotten married, and their relatives on the island are still waiting for their return."
"...Okay, boss, I'll go down and do the brothers' work." Jimmy said sensibly.
…
Half a month ago - Hanson's Tavern
Armand, who was wearing a hood, was sitting and talking to someone.
"I'll give you all the money on the island. I only want the Black Skull and the people on it." Armand said looking across.
"I'm not interested in your ship either. Why don't you tell me where your base island is first?" the person on the other side asked.
"You have to sign an agreement first before I tell you." Armand said.
"...You are still a pirate. Even if I sign, would you believe it? How naive!" The person opposite laughed.
"This is not an ordinary agreement. This is an agreement I asked Master Magician (Magician Apprentice) to make. Once you sign, you cannot go back on it. You cannot bear the consequences."
"Oh, I didn't expect you still have this channel? Let me take a look." The person coming from the other side took the agreement and read the content carefully.
I didn't look at the rest carefully, but I looked at the consequences. Although I didn't sign it, I could feel the magic of this agreement. I felt that if I signed it but didn't follow it, my safety would be threatened.
"You are too careful. We have known each other for many years. How have I ever tricked you?" Putting down the agreement, the person opposite said.
"Be careful with your ship, not to mention the trouble this time is not trivial." Armand looked around and whispered.
"Whether you sign or not, forget it." Armand said as if he was about to leave.
"Slow down! I didn't say I won't sign. Why are you so anxious?"
The man on the other side looked at the agreement again and signed his real name - Francis (Captain of the Red Shark pirate ship)
A sense of restraint on both parties emerged spontaneously, and it felt like they were being watched by something.
…
"Sir Admiral, we have received a tip that Jack seems to be trying to escape." The Fifth Fleet Attendant reported.
"After the mission of eradicating evil is over, we can't let him escape this time. Get ready and go to sea." Hedram Berg said directly.
"Okay, my lord."
…
"Sir Admiral, there seems to be quite a lot of movement over at Hedram Berg's side recently," the guards reported.
"Is there something going on?" Sir Solomon, the admiral of the Third Fleet, asked.
"Sir, it seems to be aimed at Jack, who has recently become famous in Rio de Janeiro."
"Oh, it's him. Is Jack's filial piety in place?"
"I have always paid tribute on time, so there is no shortage."
"Ha, let's not worry about it, just watch a good show. These pirates are like leeks in the field, they are cut one after another. They can't be wiped out completely. Why don't we come up with something affordable? Hedram Bo Gerstine is still too young after all.”
"Yes, my lord, there is no one as wise as you, Sir Hedram Bergs."
"You kid. Haha"
"By the way, is there any movement in other fleets?"
"They all seem to be waiting and watching, and no one has gone to sea." the guard replied.
…
Hansen's Tavern——
"Hansen, is business okay?"
"Thank you, Lord Admiral."
"Recently, there has been a lot of commotion at sea, and that boy Hedram is working very hard." Sir Quentin, the admiral of the First Fleet, said with a smile.
"Yes, Admiral Hedram is young after all, and it is normal for him to have meritorious service," Hansen said.
"Hey, don't you feel comfortable making money while lying down? Wouldn't it be nice to come to the pub and drink beer when you have time? You have to mess around." Quentin said disdainfully.
"Come, have a drink, Admiral, don't worry about those nonsense." Hansen raised his glass and said.
…
Naval Second Fleet Barracks——
"Dennis, what do you think?" said Sir Albert, Admiral of the Fourth Fleet.
"Hedram is a good prospect, but he is a little too impatient. The current situation in the principality is relatively complicated, and the key is to preserve some strength." Sir Dennis, the admiral of the Second Fleet, replied.
"Yes, the main seaport of the principality is the Port of Auckland. Although our mission is to ensure the security of the port and combat pirates, the current situation is turbulent, and the royal capital is ambitious and has been fighting for years. If we can retain our strength, no matter what happens in the future, Whatever you do is fine," said Albert.
"Let's wait and see what happens. The First Fleet and the Third Fleet are probably not going to be dispatched," Dennis said.
"Hey, those two old foxes only know how to make money and won't get into trouble," Albert said.
The naval fleets of the Principality of Denton were established at different times. The first, second, and third fleets were all the first to be established. Later, to ensure the safety of the port, the fourth and fifth fleets were gradually established; the first, second, and third fleets were all powerful. Relatively strong, the First and Third Fleets usually work alone, the Second Fleet has roped in the Fourth Fleet, and the Mengxin Fifth Fleet is in harmony with the previous four fleets.
…
"Aaron."
"arrive."
"Your next destination is the Lancers."
…
"Colin."
"Arrived." Colin replied loudly.
"In view of your good performance in the training team in the past three months, I will now arrange for you to join the Archery Scout Team. Perform well and wait for your moment of meritorious service." Gary Knight said.
"Yes, Lord Gary."
…
The new personnel arrangement is over, and everyone has found their positions. Colin is quite satisfied with his arrangement. Although the cavalry seems more majestic when riding horses all day long, the bow and arrow scout team is also good, and they can learn a lot.
