Chapter 882: Pirates are really not good people
"The so-called thief who robs the rich and helps the poor at sea...... I have to say, children, read less fairy tales, novels and movies, and trust more common sense and logic. If you want to make me believe that there are really heroes among pirates, it is better to make me believe that the slave owners on the snowy plateau really recited the bodhisattva's heart because of chanting the Buddha. At least in my hometown! Lu Xi reprimanded the crew, who were fully armed and all ready for battle.
"Hmm...... In fact, it does not exist here! Robbing the rich is robbing the rich, but there is certainly no way to help the poor. Hurricane, who was listening with his hands on the sidelines, added, "Actually, the most disciplined pirate I've ever seen is simply that he doesn't kill his captives indiscriminately. Oh, a hundred years ago, there was a man named Samuel? Bellamis' pirates snatched one of Neosfia's newest warships and gave them to their captives to escape, which is regarded as the most famous chivalrous tale in the pirate world. Oh, by the way, that guy still has the nickname 'Pirate Prince'. ”
“…… is such a tasteless name, it must be a sissy who likes to shave her face clean all day long, sits in the gorgeous costume of the noble, carries a rose and carries a thin sword, and pretends to be a sissy, right? Lu Xi asked.
"Sissy...... Woo...... Well...... Hehe......"
"Honestly, Hurricane, your suspicious pause and the 'hehe' in the back are really infuriating."
"Anyway, hehe......" The wind "hehe" again, and then said, "Samuel? Bellamis was a half-elf, and his father's side was indeed of noble birth. Now he is also one of the most famous pirate kings in Tatsuhai, and his name is even ranked in Tiqi? Planck before that. As a matter of fact. In the eyes of the pirates of Chenhai, the 'pirate kings' in the Falling Star Sea are actually the overlords of the suburbs. Only Tatsumi is the real stage for men! ”
Tsk, that's because mankind has entered the Age of Discovery! Chenhai's freight is developed again. No matter how abundant the products are, and the civilized countries on both sides of the strait are concentrated, in the final analysis, it is just a large Mediterranean Sea, and the Falling Star Sea is a real ocean.
Of course, pirates are not adventurers or scientists, and certainly cannot have the spirit of exploring the mysteries of nature. They have food, just like the predators of the savannah. If there is prey, this will slowly gather.
Just like Lu Xi's hometown, the Mediterranean was the world's largest pirate colony before the Age of Discovery, and even in its early days. It was not until after the Great Discoveries, when the maritime trade routes to the Far East and the Far West intensified, that the pirates' paradise shifted to the New World and the Spice Islands, where trade and oil were more abundant. This gave rise to the legends of the most famous pirates of the Caribbean and the pirates of the South China Sea.
From this point of view, Chenhai, a large version of the "Mediterranean", should have at least one or two hundred years as the shipping and piracy center of this world.
That is to say. Titch? Planck blended from the sea of falling stars to the sea of stars, and he is a gangster leader who finally blended from the urban-rural junction to the central city? Well, that sounds like an inspirational story! Lu Xi said.
"He's still a little capable." Hurricane replied with a smile: "When I first arrived in Tatsukai, I only had a ship in my hand. But in less than two years, more than 50 merchant ships had been successfully robbed. He was disgraced by several encirclements and suppressions by the Neosfia navy, but he also grabbed several high-quality warships. Until now. The power of that great pirate has swelled to a very exaggerated level, and it is said that there are already more than a dozen large and small pirate ships under his hands. Thousands of people gathered. And, of course, there are gossip rumors. He also has a very good relationship with the Black Naga, otherwise he wouldn't have received so much support just after he ran to Chenhai. The record of robbing fifty ships in two years, the combat effectiveness of his subordinates is certainly one thing, but at least it needs a very complete intelligence support. ”
The so-called black Naga, in fact, is not only the Naga clan, it should refer to the general name of the sea tribe that believes in the bloodthirsty king, most of its main rulers and warriors are Naga, and the forces under his command are amphibious, there are wurmians, and there are also a certain number of mermaids, of course, only there is no fighter among the mermaids - mermaids, because this golden pure-blooded immortal noble creature is even more stubborn than the elves, and it is impossible to kneel and lick a demon god who advocates strife and battle.
The surface of Tatsukai belongs to the sea of Neosfia and the ancestor of the High Elves, Shenzhou, but the underwater world of Tatsukai is basically a huge city-state empire ruled by mermaids, and the main job of its existence is to encircle and suppress the dark Naga who believe in demon gods.
Of course, although the cultists are all snake spirits with incorrect views, they are not fools. Anyway, the sea is so big, you can hide and thrive anywhere. When the dark nagas found that their strength could not be carried by the nationalized, civilized, and institutionalized mermaids, from the princes and nobles to the old and young, women and children, all of them simply incarnated as nomads under the sea, and began a long career of hiding and hiding with the mermaids.
And this time has also lasted for thousands of years. The development of the story can roughly refer to the story of the tug-of-war between the Celestial Empire and the steppe nomads during the strong period......
Of course, in modern times, with the Bloodthirsty King being torn apart by the Dawn Alliance, the Dark Nagas suddenly seem to have subsided a lot, and it has been rare to gather armies to attack the Sea Clan's city-states to secure their territory - note that it is rare rather than none.
However, there is still such news circulating in the underground world of Tatsukai: the big financiers who run the world's largest pirate underground black market are actually the snake-bodied monsters who believe in cults, and they are also the backers of the famous pirate kings who are rampant in the Tatsu Sea.
Although there is no evidence, Lu Xi feels that this statement should be very credible. The pirate kings of the Tatsumi Sea are not all the vests of the Dark Nagas, but at least half of them should be controlled and influenced by them. Imagine that in the beginning, Neosphia, the High Elves, the Mermaids, and the Federation also carried out a joint encirclement and suppression of a group of Dark Naga armies, and the large number of pirates who came to fight in a special way has said a lot - of course. Pirates are pirates, and they can't be masters for long. When the ace troops recruited by the Dark Naga, those Sea Emperor-level sea beasts, were completely destroyed by the magic crystal cannon of the floating battleship for the first time. Naturally, the pirates scattered on the spot. The navies of the countries, who were busy annihilating the remnants of the Naga, had no strength left to pursue, and of course they could only let these pirate ships escape and ascend to heaven.
All in all, the biggest mastermind behind the "underworld" on both sides of Chenhai is the group of cultists who believe in demon gods, and this should not have run away.
"Hmph, it turns out that there is a backstage! Sure enough, all the inspirational stories are actually officialdom and workplace essays! I really despair of this world that is so real. Lu Xi sneered, and then said loudly to his friends: "In short, everyone must believe it." Whether it's Titch? Planck or Edward? Sparrow, we're all dirt dogs in front of us......"
"Lu Lu, this Edward? Who is Sparrow? Nicole asked, her eyes wide open, and she raised her hand.
"I don't know, I just think this name is a special pirate!" Lu Xi replied casually: "In short, everyone remembers, you can't show mercy to your subordinates, and you must not relax your vigilance just because the other party raised his hand to surrender." Pirates are one of the most undisciplined groups in the world, especially you...... Miss Sonia. You are court ladies and may have seen truly glorious knightly battles, but this is not the right place to be. The orthodox knightly sense of honor is of little use to these sea rats! Remember, even if they lay down their weapons, they can't let their guard down. You'll have to make sure they're all incapacitated! ”
Miss Sonia nodded earnestly: "Understood, Master! ”
This girl should think that Lu Xi's pirate leveling plan is really not very reliable, and maybe even Lu Xi doesn't think it is very reliable. But as a member of the Aurora Holy Hand Knights, she still accepted the advice of her predecessors very frankly - after all, people's adventures, combat experience, and achievements are there. But you can't fake it.
"Well, the best way. Every pirate who surrenders, you have to kick between their legs! The elf girl added on the side, and the three-no-four-sword doll Jianhao also nodded in agreement.
As a result, Lu Xi could see with the naked eye that the group of maid ladies who had completely turned into armed girls began to be messy.
“…… Uh, ahem, Nicole, you silence for 15 minutes! In short, we can not accept her approach, but the meaning of her expression must be understood. Everyone should be prepared and wait for the enemy to approach! Don't think about firing a cannon from afar and blowing people up! So good to play...... Ah no, I mean, such a good goal is the best tool to hone everyone with actual combat! It's to get them close to the gang! So everyone is calm, and we must not startle the snake! Remember, we're yachts now! It's a yacht! ”
"That's why you used illusion to confuse that Wingman so that she really thought we were a yacht?" Hurricane laughed.
"Everybody's all armed, you see, the girls have even changed their armor, can't they be told to take off and change back into maid clothes at once? And everyone has seen blood, and the spirit of fierceness is not so easy to cover up, rather than expecting everyone to have a level 10 famous acting skill like me, I still count on illusion. Lu Xi glanced at Miss Sonia, who had already changed into a breastplate: "Anyway, it's just a small illusion that covers the entire ship, and even the appearance of the hull hasn't changed, just change everyone's outfits and movements, and it's okay to have an illusion of this scale." ”
"I hope you're not working in vain." Tempest smiled, "I'm not sure that the wingman is a pirate, maybe it's an ordinary merchant ship or a scout officer of the navy." ”
Whose scouts of the navy and merchant ships will suddenly turn into a red dot when they see our "yacht"? Even if you are alert and suspicious, it is yellow at best. Of course, the setting of Xiang Shen's true eye is particularly loving, and you will definitely not understand the wind.
Yes, when the winged scout was still a long way away from the Seven Yao Aurora floating on the sea, Nicole, who had been sitting on the lookout in a daze, had already seen the other party clearly.
The eyesight of the winged people is very good, far above that of humans, but in the golden seed royal descendant elf sister paper blessed with the eagle eye technique, it is simply a floating cloud. She may have only discovered the existence of the ship, but the other party had already seen her whole body and even her face for pimples.
So, when the Winged Man sneaked up on the Qiyao Aurora, Lu Xi also began to prepare an illusion that covered the whole ship - there were sons and helpers basking in the sun on the boat, young models playing in bikinis and busy with dishes. All in all, in the eyes of any pirate, this is the fat sheep, the fat sheep of the fat sheep.
"But we are now on the open sea, and outside the main trade routes and the regular patrol routes of the Neosfia navy...... A group of gentlemen drove a yacht here to have a feast in the sea and sky, doesn't it look too suspicious? If it were me, I wouldn't have made a move. ”
"So, Hurricane, if you put your IQ on the pirates, you're overestimating their IQ. Yes, there may be smart people among the pirates, but that doesn't mean that every single one of them is smart. Even many so-called high-quality elites with knowledge, culture and education will become amused because of Li Zhi's faintness, let alone a group of pirates? Lu Xi smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "From the perspective of probability theory, there will definitely be unlucky people who will still come to die knowing that there will be problems and knowing that they may be deceived." (To be continued.) )
