Chapter 235 235. Pirates

In an ocean without rules or order, the emergence of pirates is almost inevitable. They plunder wealthy towns and rob ships that are fully loaded.

Except for the fleets of the three major empires in the Central Continent, which were somewhat fearful, the rest were all prey.

There are many pirate organizations across the sea around the East Continent, and the top three are Black Skull, Red Devil, and Dreamer.

It is rare for the three major pirate groups to get together.

This time, they sat together because of one thing.

Located in the Misty Islands, on an unknown tiny island, there were densely packed large and small ships parked on the shore. A rough count showed that there were probably hundreds of them.

Most of them were small magic ships, only a fraction of the size of the Duke of Dafen.

It is an unspoken rule that the countries in the Central Continent will not allow pirates to own ships that are too large.

"Tell me, why did you call us here?"

"Don't worry, there is a big deal, are you interested?"

"What big business?"

"Plunder a seaside city."

"Oh, that sounds good. With our strength, we can do it. Are you, the Red Devils, interested in that city? How much intelligence have you collected about it?"

"East Port City, Fulin Castle."

The Minotaur was a large, bearded man with a black eye patch on one eye.

In order to adapt to the light switching between the dark cabin and the deck as quickly as possible, pirates usually choose to cover one eye.

Many people around were wearing a black eye patch.

"I've heard of it. It's indeed a very wealthy place." The leader of the Dreamless Pirate Ship was a spellcaster who looked like a sea creature with hair that looked like octopus tentacles. "The lord over there is a very powerful spellcaster. I'm probably no match for him."

"I have collected intelligence in advance. Evelyn is indeed very troublesome. It is said that she has almost legendary strength. Many senior sanctuary wizards of the Magic Kingdom have died at her hands. The elite Griffin Knights have also suffered heavy casualties." The Minotaur said in a low voice.

"A city with such powerful people should not be within our consideration." The leader of the Black Skull Pirates is a black-haired woman.

The eyes are narrow and long, and the skin is a faint blue.

"Do you know how wealthy Donggang City is?" the Minotaur changed the subject.

"I've heard that wealth is accumulating there that is coveted by a whole kingdom, including the kingdoms in the Central Continent. They all told me to keep an eye on the fleet heading to Fort Fulin for trade." The black-haired woman's expression changed. "The country behind you is preparing to take action."

"The Eternal Kingdom spent 10 million gold royals to buy Fulin Castle's papermaking technology, as well as various luxury goods. Someone has calculated that Fulin Castle's current wealth may be calculated in tens of millions of gold royals, and this number is still increasing at an alarming rate." The Minotaur's eyes were slightly red.

"This is too much. Do you know what tens of millions of gold royals mean? The entire savings of a kingdom is just that! These gold royals are enough to build a golden castle." The hair of the leader of the Dreamless Pirates floated: "I'm sorry, poverty limits my imagination."

"To a certain extent, the amount of Jinlong is just a number. There are large gold mines in many places on the continent, and many places are not short of gold. What makes Fulin Castle most coveted is their craftsmen and technology. These are the wealth that kingdoms and even empires value." The black-haired woman lowered her eyes silently: "Fulin Castle's strength is definitely more than your superficial imagination. They have a special weapon that is enough for ordinary people to threaten the strong. Because of the existence of the Limit-Breaking Wine, the proportion of strong people there is so high that it is exaggerated. There are also some strong people who come here because of their reputation, which can be described as unfathomable. The population of the city over there exceeds 100,000. You have to think clearly."

"I admit that Donggang City is powerful, but it is not yet invulnerable and unchallengeable. The Donggang City defense force only has a thousand people, and the lord's guards also have a thousand people. The two sides add up to two thousand people. The elite troops of our three families add up to nearly 20,000, and there are also miscellaneous troops and cannon fodder."

"These low-end combat forces cannot affect the direction of the war. In addition to these people, we must at least have a legend in charge of the frontal attack. Considering the support of the Principality of Xien, it is still very risky. And what is the purpose of our attack? There is no need to choose such a difficult city to plunder wealth."

"I know that it takes time to plunder craftsmen and technology. We pirates cannot compete with the Principality of Sheen. So we can only plunder. As long as we can plunder some of their goods and resell them to the Central Continent, it will be enough to make up for the losses. Let's try our luck by capturing a small number of craftsmen."

The three leaders looked at each other, and were all moved.

The main reason is that there are too few defenders in Donggang City!

Only a thousand people!

If the number were larger, someone would surely calm down and weigh the issues.

The idea that numbers equals combat effectiveness is an inherent concept held by several pirate leaders.

"We can choose to launch a sneak attack before dawn. At that time, the night watchmen will be very sleepy and their vigilance will be reduced accordingly. If the situation goes well and the resistance in East Port City is defeated, we will take over the city and plunder it carefully. If the situation is not good, we will retreat immediately. We can also make a lot of money by taking the precious goods looted from their shops.

Of course there are dangers, but Evelyn seems to always like deep meditation, for months at a time. Let's take a chance. Even if we lose some people, we can recruit more in the future."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

That's how it was settled.

Although there are no legendary strongmen joining, the three major pirate groups all have sanctuaries in charge.

Among them, there are three Black Skeletons, three Red Devils, and two Dreamless Ones, totaling eight holy domains, with as many as fifty limit-breakers under their command.

Such a powerful force. At this time, everyone at the Fulin Castle meeting knew nothing about it.

"It's so late, what do you want?" Luo Deer yawned, squinted his eyes and leaned on a wooden chair with a backrest: "Mom, tell me first."

"If nothing unexpected happens, a fleet of pirates will attack the port around four in the morning tomorrow." Lowe looked at the people who were rushing over and raised his voice slightly.

"Enemy attack?" Everyone was shocked.

The first thing that comes to mind is the source of the information and its reliability.

Evelyn did not explain the matter of the prediction book to anyone, but only said that she learned from the newspaper that it was more than 70% true.

Everyone's faces turned serious. The possibility of Donggang City being attacked had been discussed in a meeting.

Attacks from the sea are the most difficult to prevent.

In contrast, goblins have villages and towns as buffers for their sneak attacks, so they will not rush into towns right away.

"How many enemies are there?" There was a hint of murderous intent in Lodel's voice.

"I'm not sure, but before attacking, those pirates will definitely seek intelligence about Donggang City. The number of their troops will most likely not be less than our city defense forces." Evelyn said in a firm tone.
