Warcraft Eternal Tree

Chapter 314 Pursuit or Seduction

After discussing the feasibility of the strategy with Yorick, Yu Fei began to implement the plan to attack Earls Harbor. The first step of the plan still required the efforts of human pirates. Considering that the newly joined pirates did not have high recognition of the pirate group and might not be able to implement the plan perfectly, Yorick personally followed Yu Fei's instructions.

Captain Mandel is the supreme commander of a warship belonging to the Seventh Fleet of the Kingdom of Thebeshi. On this day, as usual, he and two other warships escorted a fleet of the Chamber of Commerce towards a seaport in the east.

Half lying on the lounge chair in the captain's cabin, Captain Mandel gently shook the cup in his hand, and then drank the wine in the cup. Such a life is really pleasant! As he closed his eyes and savored the taste of the wine, Captain Mandel sighed in his heart.

The Seventh Fleet is the fleet of the Kingdom of Thebeshi stationed in the Port of Ers. It is responsible for guarding the security of the Port of Ers and escorting some maritime caravans without armed ships for a fee. Because pirates have suffered in this area for more than a hundred years, and for pirates, the oil and water in Earls Harbor is not as big as other prosperous seaports, so the pressure on the Seventh Fleet is very small.

Captain Mandel, who was sipping his wine, walked out of the captain's cabin and came to the deck. Looking at the other two warships escorting the caravan, Captain Mandel felt unhappy in his heart.

Really, isn't it just a merchant ship transporting some low-level magic cores and low-quality magic crystals? Why send three warships to escort it? There is no piracy activity in this area, and no pirates will confront the regular navy of the Kingdom of Thebexi because of these supplies that are of little use to them.

In fact, just let me, Mandel, escort me with a warship. After glancing at this small caravan again, Captain Mandel came to a conclusion in his mind.

No wonder Captain Mandel thought so. The Seventh Fleet is paid to escort merchant ships, and half of the remuneration paid by the merchant ships will be allocated to the warships performing the mission. Of course, what three ships can get is different from what one ship can get for the same remuneration, which is why Captain Mandel complained that the superiors of the fleet would not allow him to have a ship to perform escort missions.

However, Captain Mandel soon stopped complaining that there were too many warships escorting the caravan. Instead, he felt that the fleet's superiors should send more warships to perform escort tasks. Because, in Captain Mandel's sight, a dozen ships appeared in the distance.

When these ships were far away, Captain Mandel didn't pay attention yet, thinking they were other merchant ships or something like that. But when the dozen or so ships gradually approached Captain Mandel's fleet, and he could clearly see the skull pirate flags common to all worlds hanging on those ships, Captain Mandel panicked.

What's going on? ! How come there are pirates in this sea area? Even Captain Mandel, who was very proud of his status as the Kingdom's navy, felt his hands and feet were cold at this time.

Although they carry the name of a regular navy, these three warships are indeed stronger than ordinary pirates. They can barely manage one against two or even one against three. However, the pirates who appeared now had fourteen ships, eleven more than them.

With a gap of nearly five times, the three warships chose to escape at the same time without even communicating with each other. As for the merchant ships they were escorting, they were too slow to take them with them, so they had to ask for their own blessings.

However, although the three warships chose to escape, the pirate ships did not give up the pursuit. Two of the fourteen pirate ships were divided into managing or plundering the merchant ships, while the other pirate ships were chasing the three warships.

Captain Mandel, who looked back and saw this scene, couldn't help but curse. Are these pirates crazy? They actually came to pursue the kingdom’s regular navy! Why are you chasing us if you don't rob those merchant ships that we abandoned?

Although they felt aggrieved, both Captain Mandel and the captains of the other two warships knew that their three warships would never be able to defeat the pursuing enemy, so they still chose to continue escaping.

However, after seeing those pirate ships chasing after them, Captain Mandel had a sneer on his face and silently returned to the captain's cabin from the deck.

As the temporary commander of the three warships escorting the caravan this time, Captain Mandel was issued a magical communication device as usual. If this group of pirates did not choose to pursue them, Captain Mandel was not prepared to use this communication device to notify friendly forces in the port to come for reinforcements.

Because pirates have always acted vigorously and resolutely, by the time the reinforcements arrived, the caravan would have been robbed and the pirates would have disappeared without a trace. However, since these reckless pirates chose to pursue them, they must pay the price.

Captain Mandel, who returned to the captain's cabin, activated the magic communication device and informed the superiors of the Seventh Fleet in Earls Port about what had just happened and the current situation that twelve pirate ships were chasing them.

This magical communication device was only a one-way communication, and Captain Mandel did not receive a response from the port. However, he is confident that the Seventh Fleet, which has not been provoked by pirates for a long time, will definitely take drastic measures to respond. At that time, looking at the pirate ship still following behind him, Captain Mandel let out a few sinister laughs.

The pirate ship following the three escaping warships was unaware of Captain Mandel's actions and followed the three warships unhurriedly. As time passed, Captain Mandel also discovered something was wrong.

What do these pirates want to do? When the warship speeds up, they also speed up. When the warship slows down, they also slow down. They just hang on neither near nor far, and they don't speed up to attack and don't give up. Don't these pirates know that Earls Harbor is not very far from here?

But soon, Captain Mandel put this problem behind him, because in his heart these funny pirates had been sentenced to death-the fleet's reinforcements arrived.

Looking at the eight warships approaching in the distance, the nervous look on Captain Mandel's face suddenly disappeared. The regular navy's combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of ordinary pirates. The eight warships that came for reinforcements plus the three of our own can easily destroy the twelve pirate ships that have been chasing us.

However, according to the character of his boss, he should send twenty warships at once to deal with these pirates with overwhelming strength to warn other pirates, right? Why were only eight warships sent? Captain Mandel had some doubts in his mind.

However, thinking that the existing warships were enough to eliminate the pursuing pirates, Captain Mandel did not think more and turned the ship's bow to meet the pursuing pirates.

Now that the pirates have not discovered the fleet's reinforcements due to line of sight problems, I have to entangle these bold pirates first. Otherwise, when they saw the eight warships, they would definitely run away. In this case, wouldn't they be able to avenge themselves for being chased so far? Captain Mandel thought so.

Very cooperatively, those pirate ships actually started fighting Captain Mandel and the others. Although the scale was three to twelve, the slingshots and giant crossbows flew together, the arrows and flags danced together, and the fight was actually lively for a while.

Captain Mandel was a little nervous at the beginning of the battle. After all, the opponent's number was four times his own. Unexpectedly, after the battle started, Captain Mandel discovered that these pirates who were bold enough to pursue the regular navy were not very strong.

Haha~~ Twelve pirate ships only slightly suppressed our three warships. When the eight friendly warships behind catch up, it won't be a matter of minutes to defeat you? Although he was temporarily at a disadvantage, Captain Mandel felt extremely comfortable, as if he had already seen the scene when the pirates on the opposite side were eliminated.

However, the more he fought, the more Captain Mandel felt something was wrong. Only after fighting a quarter of the magic against the twelve pirate ships and all three warships were scarred, did Captain Mandel realize what was wrong.

Where are our reinforcements? ! Those eight warships are obviously not far from here, why haven't we joined the battlefield after fighting for so long? Captain Mandel, who was full of doubts and uneasiness, temporarily handed over the responsibility of commanding the battle to the first mate, while he hurried to the stern of the ship to observe the situation of reinforcements.

This observation, and what Captain Mandel saw, shook him to his core. Of the eight naval warships that were originally thought to be the saviors, now only two were left, and these two looked like they were about to sink.

As for the other six ships, you can tell by looking at the six disappearing whirlpools on the sea that they have sunk. The culprit behind all this is the ten ships whose hulls were all painted black that appeared here at some unknown time.

The last scene that caught Captain Mandel's eyes was the situation where the two remaining reinforcement warships turned around and fled, only to be shot and exploded by the rain of arrows pouring out of the dark ships with huge energy. Then, he fainted and knew nothing.

Captain Mandel was lucky. After he passed out, he did not suffer the humiliation of being captured by the pirates while he was awake. Because he was interested in these three warships, Yu Fei chose to capture these three warships that had lost the courage to resist. .

Those twelve pirate ships were all human pirates from the Anchor Pirates, and they followed Yu Fei's plan and made those seemingly stupid actions before. After seeing that the Thebexi Kingdom's regular navy, which they considered to be powerful in combat, was helpless under the attack of those mysterious black-clothed pirates, the rebellious pirates also obeyed all Yu Fei's orders.

After successfully killing eight warships in Earls Port and capturing three of them, the human pirates followed Yu Fei's order and separated out several pirate ships to transport the previously obtained supplies back to Iron Anchor Island. . The other human pirates followed the ten dark ships heading towards Earls Harbor.
