Chapter 231 Robbery Is a Skill
"We will be safe once we reach the waters of the Free Federation."
Finally, he concluded with this sentence. The complete navigation map, various supply points and distribution of forces along the way, and the time and route of the patrol of the Holy See warships all showed that he had already planned this action.
In fact, Su Mo didn't say anything clearly.
He even thought about who the two ships would be sold to in the end.
Count Dracula!
They definitely need ships to transport supplies, and they need as many as they can.
At that time, Su Mo will be a middleman. Selling it at a high price will not be a problem. The key is to increase the completion of his main mission. Why not do something convenient?
After cleaning the battlefield, everyone set sail.
No need to look for surviving pirates, there won't be any surviving pirates this time.
In order to prevent the idiot pirates on the shore from revealing their whereabouts, Su Mo and others also made a small circle to give people the illusion of heading towards the port of Janosil.
The Thirteen Taibao and their group were in a boat, which was the small one they grabbed. Su Mo took the others on to the other boat. There were artillery and crossbows on the boat. Except for the person at the helm and the sail, everyone else was studying. these weapons.
Weapons always have something in common, and a few people who have some knowledge of real weapons quickly figured out how to operate these weapons.
"We try our best to avoid attacking each other's hulls with cannonballs. On the one hand, the ship we finally robbed was sunk. It's best to fight hand-to-hand. We might be able to rob another ship."
The thirteen Taibao, Crayon Piggy, Weimeng, Bancheng Yanyu, four brothers, Huoling Xiwu, Su Xiaojiu, Luo Fengfengfeihua, Siwo Shachang, and Su Mo himself.
There are twenty-five people in total. Even if two boats can be sold for thirty thousand gold coins, one person can get more than one thousand gold coins, which is not enough at all.
If we can grab two more ships and take them back, everyone can share more money.
"Observer, Brother Tiao, report the situation quickly. I can see a boat ahead with my naked eyes." Chongchong and his boat rushed ahead. The first mate in his mouth was referring to Wang Shuo. This unlucky child was carrying a monocular navigation telescope and was tied to the mast to pretend to be a searchlight.
As for the title Tiao Ge, it is said that Wang Shuo likes to eat spicy strips, so the codename is spicy strips.
"First mate, let's hit it." Song Zhibo is now the helmsman. He was originally supposed to be the first mate, but the desire to sail the ship forced him to give up his position as first mate and was willing to be bossed around.
"What a surprise, have you asked me, the captain, for instructions? Have you asked my little brother for instructions?" Fu Jiafeng jumped up.
So Su Mo received the intelligence from the front. In fact, they had also discovered this slow-moving merchant ship. It might be carrying too much cargo. The merchant ship had a deep draft. When they saw the pirate ship approaching, they ran away. Don't fall off.
Under Su Mo's order, five people from each of the two ships formed a ten-man fighting team. They hooked each other with ropes and climbed onto the ship.
"Everyone, we have handed over the money to buy the way. This is your way to clear the way." A blond man who looked like a businessman hurriedly came up to him. Behind him were several bodyguards. The sailors performed their duties without any care. Moved, obviously already used to such scenes.
"Let me see." One-eyed pirate Yun Fei - he is blind in one eye in reality, but he doesn't want to avoid it like others. Instead, he happily cosplays with the one-eyed pirate.
This is the most classic pirate image.
It is said that some pirates have both a hook hand and a one-eyed dragon. The reason for this is usually that the pirate's hand was disabled and then installed a hook hand. However, they will not be able to adapt to it for a while, and they will still rub their eyes habitually...
The results can be imagined.
In fact, the reason why there are so many one-eyed pirates is mainly because this era is the era of the development of muskets. Since the air-holding properties of the gun at this time are very poor, the medicine gas will often spray out from the back when firing, which can easily injure the user's eyes.
Therefore, when soldiers use muskets, they always turn their heads to avoid possible damage.
The captain has been a pirate for a long time, and he cannot hide away over time.
Of course, there are also people whose eyes were poked blind by others with a staff, which is less representative.
The one-eyed pirate checked the so-called road guide, threw it back, and shouted loudly: "Get out of here, this is a note from the pirates from the east. If you get it from our side, you should not do anything wrong. Please give us the money quickly, or we will both A big ship just opened fire and directly sank your little sampan."
The blond boss was crying. Of course they were not small sampans, but they were no different from small sampans because they also had no fighting capacity.
They do business in this area, transporting luxury goods from the Free Federation by sea to the two countries of Coro or Nossa, bringing back special products from the two countries, and making high profits from them.
This trade route was kept airtight by them. Under normal circumstances, no one would make things difficult for them.
Otherwise, their merchant ships would not be without any weapons, nor would they be able to carry so much cargo. They would not be able to fight or run away.
"How much do you want?" The blond boss still compromised.
This kind of compromise does not mean that they will admit defeat. At most, they will not suffer the immediate loss. When they return safely, they must send someone to find the pirate leader in this area to ask for an explanation.
Since they paid the protection fee, the pirates and navy in this area are obliged to ensure that their interests are not violated.
Then, in order to maintain the cooperative relationship, the pirate navy will inevitably find Su Mo and his party, and then capture them and hand them over to the caravan for disposal. At that time, the problem will not be solved by spitting out the money.
Currently, the prerequisite is that they can find Su Mo and this group of fake pirates.
"Five thousand gold coins, if you pay us, we will release you. Otherwise, all the goods on the ship will belong to us, and then we will kill you and throw you down to feed the sharks." The one-eyed pirate smiled evilly and looked up and down at the blond businessman, his gaze making people shudder. .
If he simply wanted goods, the blond businessman would probably turn around and leave immediately.
Anyway, they can't run fast with such a large merchant ship. They can find helpers to catch up in an hour or two.
However, this group of vicious pirates not only want to seize the goods, they also want to kill people and silence them. Moreover, judging from his appearance, this one-eyed pirate leader may have some special hobbies.
Of course the caravan can afford five thousand gold coins.
NPCs also have backpack space, which is much smaller than that of players, but it is enough to hold some valuables.
With five thousand gold coins in hand, Su Mo and others will naturally no longer embarrass the merchant ship, let alone go back on their word. After all, they are good pirates with a bottom line.
However, they will not let the caravans find pirates or navy to round them up.
The correct approach is to cut off the masts of merchant ships, destroy their power systems, and let them float on the vast sea for a period of time, which is enough to buy them enough time to escape.
The blond businessman and the others will not die of hunger or thirst at sea. This is a busy shipping route, and ships will always pass by every few hours.
With five thousand gold coins, everyone returned to the pirate ship.
However, Chongchong and the others who were fighting the tiger did not return to their warship immediately. Instead, they followed Su Mo and others to the big ship.
"Didn't we agree to rob pirates? Why did we rob merchant ships?" The middle school boys have a very strong sense of right and wrong. They will not be happy because they are given the good guy card. They even like others to regard them as bad guys, but they have extremely strong feelings in their hearts. Pure moral standards.
