our family is gone

There is no magnificent scenery on the endless sea, and there is only a lonely pirate ship driving on it.

The reason why it was easily recognized as a pirate ship was of course the black skull flag hanging high on the top of the mast, and above the skull were two bright red beards.

These guys would never dare to be so arrogant when Hamlet was not in decline, but now that Hamlet has lost control of the sea, he can't even protect himself, let alone eliminate pirates.

Pirates have the final say in this sea area now, and they don't even need to hide their identities. Instead, it's more convenient to show up and tell their colleagues not to make trouble.

The scorching sun was in the sky, except for the people driving the ship, none of the remaining pirates wanted to go out, and they all hid in the messy cabin.

Tobacco and alcohol, stinky feet, fermented sweat, spoiled food, the smell of excrement, all kinds of disgusting smells are exaggerated in this hot weather.

It's just that the pirates are used to this kind of environment, and if they really change to a clean place, they won't be used to it.

But the pirates on the deck who are in charge of controlling the ship are out of luck. The only thing that can protect them from the sun is the turban wrapped around their heads. This is why most pirates have the habit of wearing turbans. Because the sun on the sea is too poisonous.

They didn't dare to resist the captain's majesty, because it was maintained with blood, so they could only complain a few words in the scorching sun.

"Damn it, I've already returned to the island to be happy, why did this shit happen, I don't know when I can go back."

"Damn it, smoke is coming out of my throat in this damn weather, and I want to drink heavily now."

"The casino in this small town hasn't submitted a confession for three months. The boss asked the captain to check if there is something wrong with the casino."

"Who the hell dares to touch our red beard? Unless you don't want to live!"

"Never mind him, I'll go back after finishing this vote."

While they were chatting, there was a sudden loud noise overhead.

"I saw it, I saw it!"

Accompanied by a bell, the pirate standing on guard at the top of the mast yelled frantically towards the bottom, while his hand kept pointing to the other side of the sea.

This news was exciting enough for everyone on the ship, and soon many pirates rushed out of the cabin to watch.

Standing at the bow was a sloppy, chunky man, wearing a black wide-brimmed double-horned boat cap common among pirates, with a loose jacket that exposed half of his chest hair directly from the neckline, and unfit breeches on his lower body. boots.

What's even more strange is that he still wears a tattered overcoat on a hot day, with a machete and a gorgeous but old musket on his waist.

This man is the captain, and everyone on board knows that this equipment is the spoils that the captain snatched from killing an imperial navy officer during the battle. That's why he is qualified to become a captain of the Redbeard Pirates.

So the captain never took off the overcoat that proved his strength and bravery, and it has been like this for more than ten years.

And as the ship sailed, the scene of the land gradually appeared in front of the pirates.

"Look what is that?"

"There are actually merchant ships in this shabby place, and there are still two of them."

"We're rich!"

"Full speed ahead!"

Excited for the crew, and even more excited for the captain.

I thought it was just a barren fishing village, but I didn't expect to bump into a cargo ship. They deserve it to get rich!
…………

The news of the pirates' presence has not yet spread, and the pier is still a bustling scene.

In addition to those fishermen, more workers who moved the goods were moving some resources produced by Hamlet to the cargo ship, preparing for the shipment in a few days.

Because Lance recruited the navy for Wilson, in order to form combat power as soon as possible, Wilson directly transferred a large number of original sailors, which resulted in insufficient sailors to set sail.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of people in Hamlet. As long as they have money, they can recruit a lot of newcomers, use these ships as training, and quickly train a group of usable sailors.

And after a month of hard training, those navies have initially formed combat effectiveness. It is hard to say that they are actively looking for trouble, but escorting should be possible.

Lance didn't want to put the ship on hold, but he had to be fully prepared, and he would start shipping again when it was about the same time.

It's just that he didn't expect to hear the news of the pirates at this time. Lance didn't know whether it was a shock or a surprise.

These pirates knew that he had just trained a batch of navy, so they came here specially to test the results for him, right?
Or are they afraid that these recruits have never seen blood, so they give them a good start?

So careful, Lance had to "thank" them well.

Lance climbed to the sentry tower and looked at the border of the sea with a binoculars, and he saw a black ship sailing towards Hamlet.

"Hahaha, well done, well done!"

He was a little worried at first, but Lance laughed when he saw that there was really only one ship.

A single-masted clipper boat, the maximum number of people will not exceed a hundred, are you sure you are not here to give a gift package to novices?
"Sir, do you want to evacuate the people at the pier?" Wilson on the side was not so relaxed when he saw the lord, but looked a little dignified.

Although he is not afraid of pirates, he is a desperado no matter what, so he should be treated with caution.

"No, on the contrary I will fight in front of them, and I will fight beautifully and cleanly, and tell them that pirates are not terrible, because Hamlet's navy is back, and we can protect them."

Lance wasn't afraid at all. To him, these guys were just right for the flag.

The birth of a violent institution is always accompanied by blood and death, and it is never possible to become a true warrior without seeing the battle firsthand.

"Now immediately gather soldiers to prepare for battle."

I have to say that Lance's words gave Wilson a strong confidence, and his blood seemed to surge.

That's right, I am not the captain of a merchant ship, but Hamlet's navy. Why should I be afraid of those pirates?
Done!

"My lord, the assembly has been completed, as long as you give an order, you can attack."

In fact, when he found suspected pirates, Wilson called all the sailors to gather and stand by.

Lance didn't talk nonsense, and immediately came to the military-controlled area specially designated for parking warships, facing the soldiers who had already assembled.

Just like the original promise, Lance did not lack any supplies for the navy, and he would give what he needed, and the treatment was even better than that of infantry.

Because what they need to face is more complicated and more rigorous training, and the results are revealed when they really need to face the enemy.

And the equipment on them is also very luxurious.

The infantry has not been popularized yet, only the cavalry have fully equipped short-barreled muskets. Here in the navy, everyone has one on their waist. Although they don't have complete armor, they still have leather armor with iron plates inlaid on the vital parts. At the same time, everyone is equipped with A short sword, a sailor's knife, and a few people with axes.

Lance's configuration is very simple. He shoots first when he encounters the enemy. In the current situation of boarding, he doesn't need to aim at all.

When you get closer, it's melee combat. You don't need any exaggerated weapons for these unarmored targets, especially after entering the cabin. Instead, daggers and scimitars are more suitable for fighting in small spaces.

The sailor's knife is for chopping cables and the like, and the ax is for breaking doors inside the cabin.

These configurations were arranged by Wilson, the old navy, based on his experience, and Lance was responsible for helping them equip them.

Now the equipment of these navies is better than that of pirates, and now Hamlet is no longer the time when the ancestors are in charge.

In any case, the equipment advantage lies with me!
"Just now, we found traces of pirates in the nearby waters, they are heading towards us, with plunder, killing, death and blood, wanting to destroy everything we have built, can we watch them do this ?”

"cannot!"

"We have been away for too long, so long that these pirates have forgotten who is the real owner of this place, and today we will tell them that Hamlet's navy is back, and the real owner of this sea is back!"

"Hamlet must win!"

"Listen to my order, get on board and prepare to meet the enemy."

Lance's pre-war mobilization did not mean to hide it at all. Because of the frequent training, ordinary people in the vicinity thought it was a drill, but they didn't have much reaction.

It wasn't until someone actually found a black ship with a skull flag heading this way at sea that they were a little flustered.

However, before Lance came over, he ordered Leonard and others to bring soldiers to the pier for defense, and the situation was quickly brought under control.

Barton led people to guard another place, which was a stronghold stationed at the pier, and the sentry towers built could cover most of the coastline.

The two large-caliber cannons are also placed in this position. If it is really impossible to defend at sea, then they must be sunk on the coastline.

From the layout here, it can be seen that Lance has always been on guard against pirates. Since the day he disposed of the casino, he has never forgotten this scourge.

"Disma, Leonard, you two, go up and hold the line, be careful of the supernatural beings that may appear, it's best to catch me a leader, I want more information about this sea.

Paracelsus, you lead a medical team up to prepare to treat the wounded. After the battle, you can also treat the pirates to practice your skills. "

Paracelsus has been perfecting his human body research during this time, and at the same time took time to train the ten or so soldiers who were selected to have the talent of healing.

I'm afraid she didn't expect that she would become a teacher so soon.

Lance's orders were promulgated one by one, and Wilson and others led the order to board the ship.

The current navy does not have artillery, nor does it have long-range lethal weapons such as torpedo missiles.

Similarly, facing a lone pirate ship does not require any tactics, just rush up and do it.

The soldiers ran back and forth on the ship, and countless times of training allowed the soldiers to quickly execute these orders, and soon raised the sails and headed straight for the pirate ship.

Lance didn't board the boat because he knew that he couldn't be with them forever, and some things needed to be faced by themselves.

He is a lord, not a nanny.

As the warship left the port, Lance did not worry about the situation, but turned around and shouted at the crowd.

"Keep working, it's just a small fish, it's not a big deal."

Lance's relaxed attitude calmed down the emotions of the people, as if as long as this man was around, there would be no problems...

Lance was able to spot the pirates, so the pirates naturally also spotted the clipper.

"The captain looks like a pirate ship."

"Could it be that those two ships have been hijacked?"

"..."

This is not good news for them at all. After finally seeing the fat go into someone's mouth, they immediately make a fuss.

It can also be seen from this that the saying that these pirates have no discipline at all is a mob.

"Stop yelling!" The captain was a little impatient, because he seemed to see that something was wrong with the ship.

It doesn't matter whether it's in the same boat or not. What's important is that the ship has no flag, so I don't know which company it belongs to.

There is also a saying that they are in the sea. They don't just go up and take a bite of everything they see, but they also need to assess the situation.

In the law of the sea that follows the concept of the weak and the strong, there is no trust at all even among peers. One of the conditions for peace is equal strength. If you encounter some weaker peers, it is very common for blacks to eat blacks.

But if they encounter someone stronger than themselves, they should run away quickly. If they see the warship of Totnes, they will run faster than anyone else.

But now there is a ship that behaves abnormally but has no flag in the middle of the two pieces of fat, which makes him confused.

Do you want to do it?

This trip is to work for the boss and there is no income, but if you can take those two cargo ships, if you can find a few captives with status, then the gold coins you earn will be yours.

But before the captain could make a decision, the pirates under him found that the ship was heading towards him.

This immediately angered these pirates who regarded merchant ships as fat in their bowls.

"They're coming toward us."

"We are the Redbeard Pirates, how dare they!"

"Brothers copy the guy!"

To be honest, the captain didn't expect this scene. You must know that he is flying the flag of Red Beard, and his strength can also be ranked among the top five in the nearby waters. Who doesn't know them?
But these guys dared to take the initiative to lean over, because they didn't pay attention to the red beard at all.

And that ship was aiming at his own ship, as if it wanted to hit it head-on.

There was a commotion on the boat now, but the captain didn't intend to control the situation, instead he drew out his scimitar and stirred up.

"Who are you scaring?" The captain stepped on the ram of the bow, raised his scimitar and shouted, "Full speed ahead, let them taste the strength of our red beard pirates."

The sea wind made his coat flutter, and his posture was indeed the captain of a pirate ship.

They are all seasoned pirates, and they are all in their positions when facing the enemy's attack, agitating their sails and going head-on.

It was obvious that both sides were suffocating, and whoever turned the course first to avoid it would be the grandson.
