Chapter 1256

The news that the fleet was about to set off quickly spread throughout Waterles City.

Those residents who liked to watch the excitement flocked to Donggang, stood outside the port and looked around, watching the soldiers line up to board the golden battleship.

There was unavoidable whispering among the crowd, people were very curious about where this expedition was going to fight.

"Who are we going to fight this time? It won't be Kirkuvi Island, right?"

"I don't know, and there is no other news."

"Look, the people on board are all Nero soldiers, and there is no movement on the Wanguo, which means that this time it has nothing to do with our king."

On the pier, a figure who hadn't seen his face for a long time was busy directing the soldiers to board the ship.

This person is General Harper. Since that injury, he has rarely appeared in public, except when necessary, and most of the time he shut himself in the room.

It wasn't that he was punishing himself. In fact, since that time when he swore allegiance to the equation, he had already stepped out of the previous shadow.He locked himself in the room, just constantly summing up the past, finding his own shortcomings, and looking forward to standing up again with a brand new attitude.

He has been waiting for this opportunity, and Equation finally gave him this opportunity to prove himself again.

To crusade against the black sail pirates in the southern sea area, this is the task entrusted to him by Equation.

When Harper received this task, his hands were trembling, which was enough to show how important this task was to him.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't dawdle!"

Harper walked back and forth on the pier without stopping for a moment, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

Under his supervision, the soldiers boarded the ship soon.

The anchor was lifted from the water, the sail was slowly put up, and the repaired golden battleship gradually left the harbor.

It didn't take long for the battleship to come to the open sea far away from the harbor.

Looking at Waterles behind him, Harper had mixed feelings in his heart.

Finally, he finally waited for the day to justify his name. This time, he wanted to wipe out those Black Sail pirates completely, and use a beautiful victory to tell everyone that he was still the invincible General Harper.

The golden battleship sailed a certain distance on the sea. Harper stood on the bow, pointed to the south and shouted: "The target is directly south, go forward!"

The soldiers on the ship adjusted the sails skillfully, turned the bow of the ship to the south, and took advantage of the wind to move forward.

Black Flag Island is actually not far from Waterles, and the distance between the two islands is only about 100 nautical miles.

Even a golden battleship under normal sailing would only need half a day to reach such a distance, so that's why Edgar proposed to Equation that he could talk to these pirates in the south, maybe they had food in their hands.

The pirates in the south can be regarded as a historical issue for Watles. How many years has Watles existed, and these pirates have basically existed for as many years.

The distance between the two places is not far, so it is very convenient for the pirates on Black Flag Island to go to the waters off Waterles to plunder. They usually set off from Black Flag Island at dawn and arrive at Waters at noon. Off the coast of Rice, this sea area is busy with commerce and there are countless ships passing by. To these black sail pirates, it is like a wolf into a flock. Looking around, there are fat sheep everywhere. Pick a few at random and eat them dry, and then Then go back home, usually when these pirates return to Black Flag Island, the sun will just set.

Originally, the problem of pirates was a big problem, and Waterles had kept the pirates away all the year round, but there was one embarrassing thing about Waterles, that was, it did not have its own military force.

Under Nile's rule, Waterles was not allowed to have troops other than self-defense, so Waterles had more than enough protection for himself, but he couldn't attack the black sail pirates in the south.

These pirates on Black Flag Island also know that they can’t catch water from the river, and they can’t eat Waterles to death in one go. They want to raise this old hen so that it can lay an egg for itself every day, so these pirates usually don’t Large-scale looting in Waterles is generally a small matter.

In this way, Nero will not talk to these southern pirates even more. As long as they don't make a big mess like Orfina, this kind of laissez-faire approach is the most worry-free and labor-saving in comparison.

These pirates who have been entrenched on Black Flag Island for hundreds of years would not have thought that when Waters changed from the territory of Nile to the territory of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms, this also meant that their good days were coming to an end.

Regardless of the fact that the pirates on Black Flag Island seem to be having a lot of trouble during this time, they toss back and forth in the waters off Waterles every day. Toss, only in this way those merchant ships will obediently come to Waterles to dock.

But it’s different now, Equation has changed his mind, he no longer needs these black-sail pirates cruising the waters off Waterles, what he wants to see is the urgent food brought back from Black Flag Island.

From the moment the golden battleship sailed out of the East Port of Waterles, it has already alarmed the two black-sailed pirate ships floating on the sea.

At first, they thought that the golden warship was here to destroy themselves, so they were so frightened that they ran east all the way.

Then they were surprised to find that the golden battleship did not keep up, but turned around and headed south, which made the pirates on the two ships feel a sense of danger.These pirates have been licking blood at sea all year round, and they have always been more sensitive to danger than ordinary people. There must be something wrong with a golden warship sailing south suddenly, and it is probably aimed at their old lair. I went to Black Flag Island.

Worried that the golden battleship would launch an attack on the base camp, two black-sail pirate ships followed behind.

On the golden battleship, the soldiers in charge of observing the sea surface came to Harper and reported to him, "General, since we left the port, those two pirate ships have been following us. Do you want to attack them?"

In fact, Harper discovered these two pirate ships early in the morning, but these two pirate ships are quite shrewd and have kept a distance of 500 meters away, so that they can hide out of the range of the golden battleship. Crossbows are extremely difficult to hit the target, and even if they are really attacked, this distance is enough for them to escape safely.

"Don't worry about them, our goal is Black Flag Island."

Harper ignored the two small pirate ships and ordered the warship to continue south.

Taking advantage of today's favorable weather, he can't wait to arrive at Heiqi Island as soon as possible, and use a big victory to complete the task assigned by the equation.
