Chapter 864: Upheaval

Nightmare Sea, Black Hu Sea.

The core of this sea area is where Blackhu Island is located, Blackbeard's base camp.

Since the parade, Insman's Iron Armada has been pressed towards the Nightmare Sea with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai.

At this time, Innsman was still the number one power on the sea, relying entirely on strength to fight hard and vigorously eliminate the pirate forces in the Nightmare Sea.

The main force of the Invincible Armada is a new type of steam ironclad warship, numbering more than thirty ships, which once directly defeated the joint efforts of the five sea generals under Blackbeard's command in the initial temptation.

After this sea battle, three of Blackbeard's five henchmen died, and the skin-loving Black Rope was blown to pieces by the cannon on the spot.

According to the aftermath of the fact, the Innsman side sank a total of three first-class battleships, seven second-class battleships, sixteen third-class battleships, and countless other small ships and prisoners.

As soon as the large steam ironclad appeared, it used this shocking strength to announce its existence to the world!

However, any shrewd maritime merchant and country will immediately understand that the maritime situation is about to undergo tremendous changes from now on.

At the same time that the main force was advancing on Blackhu, Innsman even had the strength to form several other huge fleets, led by various royal pirates, to attack those pirate ports and free ports.

Even if the main force had to fight Blackbeard, Insman had a big business, and every fleet sent out had a first-class battleship, and ordinary pirate regiments were no match at all.

For a time, the whole nightmare sea was full of rumors, and I don't know how many well-known pirates were caught and hung on the mast.

And the once prosperous and lively pirate port also fell into a dead silence.

Within the Nightmare Sea, only Insman's flag was on display at this time.

Some lucky ones who were lucky enough to pick up a small life either converged on Blackbeard's main force and prepared to last up with the Innsmanyans, or they were completely disheartened and ready to leave the Sea of Nightmares and enter the depths of the Golden Route.

"Hurry up, we're going to get there before Armageddon!"

On a first-class battleship, Orlando wore a tuxedo gown, wore a wig, and held a monocular, looking at the distant sky.

"Report! According to the latest news, Captain Huchuk has led his side of the fleet to defeat the Red Rose Pirate Regiment and hang that pirate leader! ”

"Captain Tatara has also received news that he has conquered Green Chambord Island and controlled all the ports and shipyards there......"

……

Behind him, all kinds of news kept coming.

"Map!"

Orlando groaned, immediately spread out the chart of the Nightmare Sea, and moved his fingers: "This is Blackhu, the main force of the steel fleet has always been here, and the main force of Blackbeard is contained!" This time the Innsman Kingdom really played a good game! ”

Just when the main forces of the two sides were entangled, Innsman relied on his abundant capital and used a group of subdued pirate captains as the vanguard to attack all parts of the Nightmare Sea and sweep away the pirate forces.

And when the nails are pulled out, all the fleets will close to the center, and finally converge on Blackhu, forming a large net with only one goal - that is, the pirate governor of the Nightmare Sea, Blackbeard!

This is an upright conspiracy, even if you see through it, there is no hope of breaking the game, because there is an absolute gap in strength.

Insman can send a partial division to attack everywhere when the main force is entangled, but Blackbeard cannot.

After all, his largest force besides his own fleet, that is, his five sea generals, was crippled as early as the beginning of the war.

It can be said that at this time, it has fallen into a dead end!

"A textbook battle!"

Even Orlando, after the review, has nothing left to admire the mastermind of Innsman.

"Of course...... And only this time...... After crippling or destroying Blackbeard, the remaining pirate governors will definitely unite and even elect a pirate king! Let's continue to fight against Insman! ”

Orlando pondered silently.

In fact, Blackbeard was also unlucky, and met Innsman's first appearance of a new battleship, and went all out.

Before that, the pirate governors didn't know Innsman's strength, and they could barely watch the play, and maybe they had a little idea of using Blackbeard to test it.

This gave Innsman a strategic initiative.

Compared with other seas where there is no oil and water, naturally only the Nightmare Sea on Blackbeard's side is the most worthy of a big fight.

But after this time, there is no such good thing.

"Actually...... The pirate governors should have reacted by now, but alas, it's too late...... Originally, Edward, the pirate prince of the Golden Sea, had this plan, and was the only one who could reinforce before the decisive battle, but Insoman actually drove the ghost ship...... Even such bloody methods have been used, it is enough to see that they are imperative this time! Great determination! Blackbeard must be killed! ”

The Insman Kingdom certainly doesn't have a way to effectively drive the ghost ship.

And the methods they use are very primitive and bloody.

Because it is the largest island nation in the world, Insman also has the largest number of merchant ships and supply points in the world.

Occasionally, there will always be one or two locations with clues to the ghost ship.

And in order to lure the ghost ships, blood sacrifices are naturally needed - merchant ships full of sacrifices that can satisfy the undead's desire to kill, similar to fishing bait, to attract them to the desired location.

As far as Orlando knows, in order to lure the ghost ship to the golden sea, Innsman lost no less than 100 merchant ships, and nearly 10,000 slaves and sailors of all kinds!

There is no doubt that this is a big deal that even some countries can hardly come up with.

However, after paying such a huge price, the results are also very rich.

The prestige of the ghost ship not only caused a storm on the golden sea, but even the pirate prince was severely damaged after fighting the ghost ship and had to abandon his plan to help Blackbeard.

At this time, there was no longer a force in the entire Nightmare Sea that could help Blackbeard, and the Governor of the Nightmare Sea, the leader of the Blackbeard Pirate Regiment, seemed to be finally at the end of his rope.

Of course, in terms of Blackbeard at this time, it was not difficult to get out alone, or even drive away in the Monster.

It's just that if you leave the Nightmare Sea, you won't have the foundation, territory, and source of troops here...... The former pirate governor has really become a discredited pirate leader.

For some pirates, it would be better to kill him.

And, in a naval battle, anything can happen, and Blackbeard will inevitably try to gamble hard.

"I heard...... Now all the pirates in the Nightmare Sea who are still ready to continue fighting have gathered on Blackhu...... Sorcerer Roach, this guy is running fast and has fled into the Golden Sea, but don't worry...... Even if the royal fleet needs to rest, we, the privateer captains, will inevitably be dispatched, as the vanguard of the way, there is always a chance! ”

Orlando stepped on the deck, looking very satisfied.

This one, which is the absolute main force equipped by the navy in the previous sail era, is a first-class battleship: it has three decks, is equipped with more than 200 guns, has a displacement of 3,000 tons, has a crew of more than 1,000 people, and under various blessings, it can run at a speed of 20 knots, and it is a well-deserved fortress on the sea.

If it was the previous Octopus Pirate Group, with such a flagship, I am afraid that I would wake up laughing in my dreams.

But at this time, Orlando used the wealth accumulated from the previous raids to buy it from the navy at a low price.

"This time I followed behind the Royal Navy, and it was very profitable...... Next, the steam ironclad didn't dare to think about it, but it was time to prepare a transcendent ship for itself! ”

Orlando pondered silently.

The steam battleship is indeed the most important weapon of the country, but when it falls into the hands of individuals, it seems a little bulky.

The most important point is that even if the Navy gives him one, he does not have enough trained sailors, and a new repair shop!

In other words, even if the navy sends a steamship, ordinary pirates may not be able to use it, and they will definitely be completely tied to Innsman's chariot, because the logistics are completely controlled by the other party! Unless...... Build a complete set of industrial supporting systems to adapt.

The smart Orlando has long seen that although this mode is good, it is not something he can afford.

What really suits him is the first choice of all pirates.

'It's a pity...... I didn't meet the great Sissel merchant Formosa this time, and I liked his mermaid very much......

It seems that because of capturing what he was thinking, the originally silent pirate system also jumped out and popped up the task box:

"Ding, you activate the mission - the great pirate!"

"Mission Statement: How can you, who aspire to be a great pirate, not have an extraordinary ship worthy of your identity and status? Within three months, capture the Mermaid! That's right, it's the diving boat! Catch another big octopus, and the system will give you an additional title [Hades of the Deep Sea]! ”

"Reward: 2000 XP!"

……

"Why do you have to be that mermaid?"

Orlando, of course, did not understand the deep malice coming from the system, but was very puzzled: "And...... You want me to contract another big octopus......"

"Could it be...... This pirate system, or is the mission based on my own ideas? What does it have to do with the Lord of the Dream Soldiers? ”

Completely confused, he looked at his attribute bar:

"Name: Orlando

……

"Boss! We have reached the predetermined position, and the sea area of Blackhu is ahead! ”

At this moment, one of the pirates on the lookout shouted.
