our family is gone

Victory is not and shouldn't be a strange thing for Lance. If he piles up so much money and can't even beat a few pirates, then don't mess around.

But after learning about the fighting situation, it was still a little bad.

Although no one was killed, there were quite a few injured. After all, the performance of these soldiers is a bit too bad for this equipment to achieve such a record.

If it were the army, the battle would have ended long ago. If Leonard and Disma hadn't supported the scene, the outcome of the battle would be hard to say.

Because the number of pirates in this group is 75, on the contrary, they are only [-], and they still execute a three-person team.

Fortunately, there was not much space on the deck, and more than a dozen were killed and injured in the first round of shooting, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.

But anyway, they are new recruits on the battlefield for the first time, and Lance can give them a little tolerance.

But Wilson couldn't do it. These guys really embarrassed him. He had vowed to make a promise with the lord, but the cooperation and reaction of these people was really bad.

It's just that he may have forgotten that he was almost flustered when he went to the battlefield for the first time, and his performance was even worse than them. He was still the captain, the first mate and the others took him all the way...

"Okay, okay, no matter how you say it, it is a memory worth remembering for a lifetime. You protected Hamlet from being plundered by pirates, and you protected your relatives and friends from being slaughtered by pirates. You are the heroes of Hamlet!"

Lance's words swept away the malaise among the soldiers. The lord said he was a hero, and there was no higher praise for them than this.

Lance understands that fighting on the battlefield will distort people's minds, so any war must have a "justifiable" reason, which is well-known.

His words directly gave them a psychological support, this war is just, as long as it starts, they will make up the rest by themselves.

Lance watched their revived morale and understood that Hamlet had taken the most difficult step in rebuilding the navy.

As long as the recruits go through the baptism of blood and death, they will grow up quickly, and the most vulnerable stage has been passed. After they grow up, they can use this as the backbone to expand their recruitment. Looking forward to the future, the situation can be said to be very good.

After dealing with those matters, Lance came to the group of captives who were tied up and knelt on the ground.

"My lord, these people are members of a pirate group called Redbeard, and they can be regarded as a tyrant among the nearby pirates, because they have seven ships under their command, and this is one of them. They came here to investigate the casino.

That fat man was the captain, and the crew members said that he had killed a senior officer before he was promoted to captain. "

Disma was interrogating the captives, and when he saw the lord coming over, he explained the situation, and finally set his sights on the fat man who was isolated not far away, and handed out a captured musket at the same time.

Lance understood what the moment he took it. Such an exquisite shape is indeed not ordinary, but what is more important is the decorative pattern on the handle of the gun, the shield mark on the bottom of the crow, isn't it Hamlet's badge?

There is no doubt that the navy that died at his hands was Hamlet's.

"I see."

Lance put away his musket expressionlessly, pointed at the embarrassed captain, and quickly stepped forward to kick him.

"Just fucking you are the captain!"

The captain was short and fat, and with his hands and feet tied, he was kicked like a rolling gourd for several times before stopping.

The captain raised his head and looked at the man in front of him with difficulty, "We have no grievances, why did you attack us?"

"No grievances?" Lance sneered, revealing an undisguised viciousness, leaned over and mocked, "It's only right for us to fight pirates, not to mention that you came here first to find trouble."

When the captain heard the bad news, the two merchant ships had armed guards, and he didn't know who they were.

He didn't expect that Hamlet's navy of these people was normal. Who the hell would have thought that a broken town could have a navy with such good equipment.

Even he has already figured out why it is such a broken ship, it must be something shady, otherwise why would he be attacked by them just by approaching.

How could I be so unlucky...

But at this time, he didn't care about these things, and quickly explained.

"We are not pirates, we are fishermen."

"Fishermen use clipper sloops, right? What kind of big fish are you hauling?"

"No, no, it's a businessman."

"Would you like to see what's on it?" Lance kicked him over, like a bastard on his back, "The businessman hangs the skull flag, right~"

"If you hang the flag, you won't be targeted by pirates. This is a disguise..."

"You're not being honest at this time, since your teeth are so hard." Lance raised his hand towards Desma, "Come and knock his teeth to me."

"Don't, don't!"

A pirate's mouth is as loose as a whore's belt. Don't expect them to keep any secrets.

Seeing that the real captain surrendered immediately, but Lance still didn't respond, Disma's footsteps got closer, and now the captain couldn't hold back anymore, and directly spoke out.

"We are from the fifth team of Red Beards. We came here just to collect debts. We really don't mean to offend. We don't know anything."

"Debt collection?" Lance smiled even more, "It's time to settle the debt."

The captain didn't understand what this meant, and thought that Lance wanted money, so he immediately agreed.

"As long as you let us go, all the money will belong to you, and we will leave immediately and never come back."

"Are you stupid? The money for killing you is also mine."

Lance's words directly killed the topic, and the captain really wanted to cry at this time.

"There is still a way to survive by answering my question honestly. If you don't tell others, you will say it as well, but your life will not be guaranteed."

"Yes, yes, yes! Just ask, my lord, and I will definitely tell you."

As the leader, he naturally knows more things, and Lance also got the situation of the red beard pirates.

Seven ships, nearly [-] people, this strength is only in the top five in this sea area, the strongest pirate group has more than ten warships, thousands of people.

When Lance heard this, he realized that there were such powerful pirates at his gate. The combined strength of the top five pirates was almost [-], which is the same level as many small countries.

Fortunately, there is no harmony between them. On the contrary, they are wary of each other. They are usually scattered along the bustling waterways. Usually they don't bother to come to barren places like Hamlet.

It's a pity that the casino is owned by Redbeard. While making money, it also has the function of contact point and inquiring information. They can only make one trip when something happens, but they didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

"Do you know who I am?"

"I don't know! I don't know anything. I know the rules. If I know, I can't live."

The captain is not stupid, he really understands the rules, after all, he is in the business of kidnapping, if the meat ticket finds out about his situation, he will probably be killed.

"It's late~" Lance looked at him coldly, "I am the lord of Hamlet. You killed my people and robbed me of my money. It's time to pay back the debt."

After finishing speaking, he pulled out the musket at his waist and reloaded it calmly. That gesture directly scared the captain to pee. When he saw his gun, he immediately understood everything and quickly explained.

"No! I didn't kill them. I just picked up the gun and coat. I didn't kill the naval officer."

After being in a hurry, the captain didn't care so much and quickly talked about the situation at that time.

In fact, he really didn't kill the person. The war was chaotic at that time. He hid in a corner and packed the corpse. When he got up, he happened to be next to a dead naval officer. As for who killed him, he didn't know at all.

As the few living people left, he snatched the credit that belonged to others, and that's what happened next.

But what does this have to do with Lance?

Regardless of whether he killed the person or not, he must die.

The moment the gun was aimed, the irresistible captain threw out his secret in order to survive.

"Don't kill me! I know a secret, an absolutely useful secret."

"Oh~ what secret?"

"The treasure of the great pirate Blackjack."

Lance was also a little curious when he heard this. Sure enough, these pirates like to do this.

"Say."

The captain who seized a chance of survival immediately told the brilliant deeds of his black jack.

More than ten years ago, there was only one real big pirate in this sea area, and that was Captain Black Jack. In just a few years, he formed a huge fleet. The current big pirates, including Redbeard, are all under his command.

Facing the pursuit of the navy at that time, it was not weak at all, and even defeated Hamlet's navy many times. In the later period, it completely monopolized this sea area.

But one day Black Jack suddenly went out to sea together with his ship [Millions of Light] and disappeared. The disappearance of Black Jack led to the split of the fleet, and soon they divided up Black Jack's inheritance and became several big pirate groups now.

"Some people say that the navy wiped it out, some say that it was sunk in a sea storm, and some say that it was full of treasures and kept its name incognito, all kinds of sayings.

However, everyone has searched all the places but can't find Black Jack's treasure. "

Lance also felt a little strange when he heard this. The guy standing behind Black Jack was undoubtedly the old ancestor.

Like the rest of the gauntlet, Blackjack's fleet was just a piece of the puzzle he'd set up to do things for himself.

And most of the gloves will be thrown away in the end. Knowing too much Black Jack actually wanted to negotiate with the ancestor, how could the ancestor accept this threat and deal with it secretly.

It's just that the huge fleet of old things is forgotten, leaving such a scourge to Hamlet.

No, maybe he didn't forget, he just didn't care.

Because it is ordinary people who are threatened, it has nothing to do with him.

"Then do you know where Black Jack's treasure is?"

"I don't know, but I know the clues to the treasure."

"Say it!" Lance hated people playing these little tricks with him the most.

"Black Jack left three charts, and our boss, Red Beard, has one in his hand. It was snatched from Black Jack's cronies when we attacked the island, and I was right next to it."

The captain told another secret that when Black Jack was still there, he occupied an island and turned it into a pirate paradise, but after his death, his fleet originally refused to accept anyone in order to grab the vacant position, and finally fought.

And snatching this island is the best opportunity to demonstrate strength and win Blackjack's legacy.

All parties went to the island, and Red Beard was the most thieves at the time. He only had three ships at the time, and he knew that he was not strong enough to be on the island, so he entangled some cronies and elites and started plundering directly.

At that time, Black Jack had three children, but they disappeared after he disappeared. He thought they disappeared together, but he didn't expect that the eldest son happened to be found by the red beard during this operation.

And that one-third of the sea chart was obtained from that person, and of course there was news of Black Jack's treasure.

"The chart is not in your hands, and the other two copies are missing, this news is worthless." Lance's words were very threatening.
"The man is not dead yet. I know where the red beard hid him. He must know where the remaining two charts are."

"You are lucky, we Hamlet don't like to beheaded, so let's put this head on your neck first."

Lance's words made the captain ecstatic, he struggled for a long time, even betrayed the secret in his heart, and finally got his own life back.

But Lance's next sentence brought him back to hell.

"Strip him naked and hang him up. Don't let him die so easily. After seven days in the sun, send him to a nursing home."

The captain didn't know where the sanatorium was, but he probably heard that he must have survived, but after seven days in such a vicious sun, he would lose his skin even if he didn't die.

It's a pity that Lance left without giving him a chance to beg for mercy.

Lance took his coat and musket and went to Wilson to verify the situation back then. When he saw these two things, he looked a little lonely.

"There is only one admiral who died at the hands of pirates, and that is General Lucas."

"Tell me about the general."

Following Wilson's narration, Lance also learned something about that year.

Like the common name, Lucas was of very common origin, the son of a farmer.

As for his position, he was not as high as he said. He was not a general, not even a high-ranking officer, but he had a very high status in the hearts of soldiers, otherwise he would not be called that.

During the events of the year, the nobles died, but Lucas was fine because of his civilian status, and it was because of him that Hamlet's navy was stabilized.

It's just that the rapid decline of the navy in the future is not something he can affect, after all, he is not a lord.

However, he was still fighting the pirates on the front line until a naval battle that could be called a large-scale one in the end.

The pirate Black Jack gathered the fleet to attack. At that time, the navy was in decline, but in order to protect Hamlet, Lucas still led the navy to stand in front, knowing that he was invincible.

At that time, the battle was extremely tragic, with countless casualties, and few of them could come back alive in the end, and Lucas also died in that naval battle.

However, the pirates who suffered heavy losses did not dare to continue to plunder, so they could only retreat to the sea.

"General, he protected Hamlet and fulfilled the promise of a navy with his life." Wilson couldn't help but burst into tears when he said this. Everything that year was really...

The muscles on Lance's face couldn't help twitching when he heard this, he was suppressing the anger that filled his heart.

This guy, Patriarch, has fucking embarrassed the Hamlet family.

If I hadn't lifted the lid of your coffin, I would be sorry for Lord Hamlet's status.
