The Treasure Hunt, which lasted more than three months, finally returned to Port Royal again today and returned to this place when he set out.
At that dusk three months ago, when they set off, there was only one Fearless ship, but now, when they came back, there were two more warships. Moreover, their gains were huge this time!
The entire three ships were loaded with various gold and silver treasures. If it were in the past, these huge wealth would have been collected by the entire Europe for at least several years!
In order to contain these wealth, the shells and powder in the ammunition depots on the three of their ships have basically been discarded, and even the artillery on the Fearless were thrown into the sea.
In addition to these treasures, there is also a large group of legendary marine magical creatures that surrender - the mermaid!
However, at this moment, they did not reveal the sea surface, but continued to lurk in the sea water below the fleet, slowly following the ships.
These are not the biggest gains of Little Anne's adventure this time. In terms of size alone, on the rear of the fleet, a huge octopus was dragged with thick cables on the stern of the Spanish warship at the rear of the crane. This big guy is the biggest gain they have gained from this adventure!
This big octopus was the one called by David Jones' flying Dutchman to attack the returning little Anne's fleet!
But, David Jones must have made a fool of himself!
You know, what Little Annie is best at is dealing with some big guys!
Think about it, when Little Anne was two years old, she once caught a huge shadow bear, which is the current little bear Tibers!
(Can we stop mentioning this? - Tibers)
We all know that Anne's bear Tibers will become extremely huge when it is released! Moreover, this is not the original form of Tibers, because it is bound by the enchanted skin of the teddy bear. If the outer skin is pulled off, it can become even bigger!
There are many more vicious monsters than this sea monster, such as those giant dragons. You know, there are two dragons that died directly or indirectly under Little Annie’s hands now! The dragon-slaying BUFFs on Little Annie and Tibers have been stacked with two layers!
So, the sea monster summoned by David Jones only knows how to attack physically. Even ordinary cannons can harm it. It is really not a waste!
What else can it do except scare the sailors for a while and almost break up a Spanish warship?
Originally, when Little Annie saw such a big ocean monster, she wanted to capture it alive and control it, but she didn't expect that although this monster looked big and cruel, its IQ didn't seem to be very high and it was too difficult to communicate. So, she was angry and accidentally beat it to death!
At this moment, it was tied to its two huge tentacles by two thick cables, tied to the last ship, and dragged in the sea.
Such a big guy, maybe everyone in Port Royal today will have a good time? No one has ever eaten tentacle monsters that are bigger than the largest whale in the ocean, right?
I just don’t know what David Jones would feel when he learned that his pet was eaten?
Port Royal is getting closer and closer, and the outlines of the huge islands and ports in the distance can be seen with the naked eye. Therefore, the crew of the Fearless crew gathered on the deck or bow of the ship, looking at the Jamaican islands that began to appear on the sea in the distance.
At their current speed, they will be able to complete this last journey in half a quarter of an hour. I believe they should be able to enter the port smoothly before dusk.
This is because behind the Fearless, there were two unpowered Spanish warships and the huge octopus that landed in the last sea, otherwise, their speed would only be faster!
"Are we here in the wrong place? Why do I feel that Port Royal seems a little different?"
Jack Sparrow was standing at the bow of the Fearless, holding his Hawkeye telescope to see the port of Port Royal clearly.
But what he couldn't understand was: where is the unloading square behind the port, what are the clear and shiny armies? Also, what are the golden flags flying above the city wall and the castle? Could it be that after they left Port Royal, some major forces were occupied by Port Royal?
Even those witches who can set fire have been driven away by others?
"let me see."
I couldn't see clearly my ordinary telescope, so Norrington snatched Jack Sparrow's telescope and carefully observed Port Royal in the distance.
"That's right, that's Port Royal! It's just..."
Norrington sighed in his heart and said nothing more.
He had just recognized Charlotte in golden armor from Jack Sparrow's telescope, but also found Governor Swann standing in the welcoming crowd.
From this point of view, those witches have completely mastered Port Royal, right?
Just now, he did not find any soldier wearing red British uniforms in the telescope. In this way, I guess those witches no longer need them, right?
Those armoured armies may be the new army of the witches, but the speed is too fast, right? It was only more than three months before an army was formed? They still looked very strict in military discipline. Are witches so magical?
“…”
However, these are just small things, which were already under his expectations and were not too surprised.
But what worries him the most was: what happened to the rows of huge warships docked at the military terminal of Port Royal? Why did they dock there?
If he had read it right just now, those warships seemed to be the fleets arranged by the British Empire in the Caribbean Sea? He had just counted the number, and there were about thirty ships?
That must be the Caribbean fleet? Why were they captured by the witches? Also, what about the other ships of the fleet? Did they sink or were they burned by the witches? Or did they escape by chance?
Which idiot commander asked them to attack Port Royal?
well……
He sighed helplessly, Norrington's mood was very complicated at this moment.
Even he didn't expect that in just three months, the witches' strength would have expanded to this point!?
He himself and the Governor Swan, probably, have become sinners of the British Empire now?
Where is the way for them? What should he do?
Thinking of this, Norrington's face darkened.
It seems that it is time to make plans for themselves! Otherwise, once they really want to return to the UK, there may be no other choice except the cold gallows waiting for them.
"Ahh! What a majestic city! And, a powerful army!"
Barbosa also took the telescope from Norrington and looked at it for a while, then he suddenly spoke.
"Dear Lord Anne, I don't know if your power is lacking an experienced naval general? I, Hector Barbosa, will serve you wholeheartedly!"
Barbosa suddenly turned against each other, which scared everyone.
Except for Norrington who had the same idea, Jack Sparrow was puzzled. Didn’t this Barbosa keep clamoring before, and after returning to Port Royal and gaining freedom, he would drive away the Black Pearl directly?
"Huh? Don't ask me about this kind of thing! Let's go away, it's so stinking!"
Little Anne rolled her eyes at the pirate leader and waved impatiently to let him walk away.
She can see the scenes in the distance without using a telescope now. So, she naturally saw the current situation of Port Royal and the witches and the army in Port Square lined up to greet her.
Tibers... Is there anything interesting happening in Port Royal during this period?
(It's nothing. The girl named Charlotte seems to be much more ambitious than your fire demon servant Shannonx. She is now ready to attack the entire Caribbean Sea and the surrounding New World! - Tibers, who was forced to sign a contract to borrow power to the other party, of course, knows what the girl is doing. As long as it is still in this world, everything the other party does cannot escape its surveillance!
There is another important thing that Tibers didn't say, that is: after the other party takes over the New World, he is ready to counterattack the entire Europe and even the entire world.
This time, the reason why the other party knew that Little Anne's fleet was back at this time was that of course Tibers secretly sent a message to the Charlotte girl to wake up.)
oh……
Annie felt that it seemed as if she had accidentally saved an amazing person!
That sister Charlotte looks very capable. Look, she has only been separated for three months and she almost can't recognize her! It seems that she has completely occupied Port Royal now? Moreover, it seems that many witches and armies have been developed?
However, little Anne is not concerned about occupying territory and fighting wars now.
You should know that little Annie was the cute master of the Fire Alliance that had tens of millions of fire elements and several major forces united!
In the Azeroth world, she had already had enough of fighting and siegeing cities and lands. At that time, she had ruled the 300,000 troops of the Flame Alliance to conquer the undead natural disaster!
And now, on Earth, she doesn't want to pay attention to this kind of small-scale play-offs!
"Barbosa, are you crazy?"
When Jack Sparrow saw Barbosa suddenly express his loyalty to the witch Anne, he was a little confused. When he defected to the witch, where can he be free to be a pirate?
If he hadn't been remembered by David Jones now and did not dare to go to sea with the protection of the witch, he would have to find an opportunity to cheat a good ship and continue to go out to sea to wave!
Jack Sparrow is a pirate king! He grew up on the beach and likes to wave!
"Hmph...yes, I'm crazy!"
Barbosa smiled and looked at Jack without explaining anything.
"He is not crazy, but smart! You should look at the military port for yourself."
Norrington shook his head, and threw the telescope to Jack Sparrow.
After seeing Barbosa's statement, he suddenly felt a little discouraged. Perhaps, should he express his loyalty to the witch as soon as possible? Then, change to a better future?
However, now there is always a hurdle in his heart that cannot be overcome.
It is very reasonable for these people from the Navy to work for the witches after being defeated and captured!
However, if he turns his head and changes his flag directly when he sees the witch's powerful, he always feels that this seems to be sorry for his own honor and faith, and also feels ashamed of his pride as a brigade general of the Royal Navy of the British Empire?
But...if you don't do this, after leaving the witch, you will probably have a dead end...
This situation made him in a dilemma. Perhaps, after entering Port Royal, he needs to have a good talk with Governor Swan? Then understand the specific situation and analyze the pros and cons before making a decision?
"Barbosa, I think you are really despicable!"
After Norrington's reminder, Jack Sparrow also saw signs.
"Ahh, I almost forgot! You started a rebellion and robbed my Black Pearl! It's normal for you to do such a thing now!"
Jack Sparrow put away his baby telescope. He had just discovered the clue and knew why Barbosa was eager to show his loyalty and willingly surrender to the witch.
It turned out that there were nearly thirty huge warships anchored in the military zone of Port Royal Port? Moreover, it seemed that most of them were battleships? Depending on the situation, the British Caribbean fleet was completely finished?
With so many ships, let alone Barbosa, even Jack Sparrow, he was jealous!
So, should he show his loyalty quickly?
Anyway, he is now hired by the witch. Perhaps he can still get ten or eight ships and organize a Jack Sparrow fleet? That's all battleships!
If there are so many ships, will the entire Caribbean be able to walk sideways in the future?
Maybe it should be changed to Captain Jack Sparrow? Why not... call it the great Jack Sparrow Fleet Commander? Or, the famous Sparrow Fleet Commander?
"Sorry, correct it again! Black Pearl, it's mine! This was agreed by Lord Anne's Witch himself!"
Barbosa disdainfully refuted Jack Sparrow. Now that he has reached this point, he is still thinking about the idea of ​​playing the Black Pearl?
"Bastard! That's my black pearl! Sparrow's black pearl!"
The Black Pearl is a symbol of Jack Sparrow, and it has always been a scar in his heart. He would not let it go so easily.
"Oh? Is that true? That's not what I think!"
Barbosa stared at Jack standing in front of him without any mercy. The monkey on his shoulder also began to jump up and down, grinning and screaming, cheering for his master.
“…”
Norrington looked at the two noisy pirate leaders with amusement and continued to argue over an inconspicuous pirate ship. This situation has happened many times in the long time he went to sea, and he is no longer surprised.
"Everyone is careful! Be prepared to slow down and we start entering the port!"
After the fleet gradually approached Port Royal, Norrington left the bow and walked to the deck to greet the sailors as they got busy. The cables connecting two Spanish warships were now needed to be untied.
Now they are getting closer to Port Royal, and as the captain of the Fearless, he certainly needs to direct the crew to work. Now they are a little fast, and if they don't reduce the sails and slow down, they will probably hit the pier.
Finally, under the guidance of a small boat, the Fearless slowly approached a stone pier. Soon, several soldiers carried a luxurious Hyun ladder and clasped on the edge of the Fearless so that the people above could walk down calmly.
"Ah! Are you... Sister Charlotte?"
Following Nie Annie, the two twin sisters Cecilia and Christina looked at Charlotte in golden armor in front of them, and the group of armored knights behind her.
The two sisters are almost unable to recognize each other now!
"Welcome to my lord!"
Charlotte nodded to the twin sisters, but did not answer them. Instead, he went forward and knelt in front of Little Anne on one knee, lowered his head and said loudly.
"Welcome to my lord!!"
More than a hundred witches, Coria Pofort and Marie Cashca, behind Charlotte, also knelt down on one knee at the same time.
"Welcome to Master!!!"
The other soldiers and knights standing guard also knelt down half their knees and shouted loudly.
This sudden huge formation was so scared that Jack Sparrow, who had just walked on the Hyun ladder, almost fell into the sea. Fortunately, Brigadier General Norrington, behind him, pulled him away, so he did not let him make a fool of himself in public.
However, his pirate hat has now fallen into the sea!
"Ah? Thank you for your kindness!"
After standing firmly, he calmed down and turned around and said something thankful to Norrington.
"I knew it would be like this!"
Little Annie reached out to support her forehead helplessly. Sure enough, it was just like she had guessed before.
This sister Charlotte actually made such a big formation! Now, the witch's affairs seem to be developing in a direction she couldn't imagine!
When did she become the leader of Luo Shizi?
Her bear, Tibers, had anything else hidden from her? What else wasn't told to herself? Even if she never asked about this, it wouldn't take the initiative and tell herself when she had time?
Annie has never liked that kind of life that is consistent, and no matter what, she is at the age of being playful and active.
If she really had to worship her like a goddess, she wouldn't be happy! In her opinion, this is not fun at all!
......
"Hey! Did you see? They were actually welcoming that little girl?"
In the distance, the citizens who were crowded together to watch finally discovered that the witches of the Fire God Cult were actually welcoming a little girl, which made the crew members and sailors who were unaware of the truth feel a little puzzled.
Only after seeing Anne boarding the carriage, the witch, the knight and the soldiers left behind, the citizens began to speculate.
Many of them didn't know what the little girl was, and why was it worthy of these witches' mobilization to come here to welcome her? Even if the other party was a king, it would probably be like this?
"Don't you know? Are you not from Port Royal?"
Hearing the discussions of these people next to him, a local hired worker in Port Royal couldn't help but become curious.
After all, when Little Anne made a big fuss in the execution ground, the fact that she directly attacked the defenders and occupied Port Royal was spread here long ago.
I guess there is no one in Port Royal who doesn’t know about it? And now, these people around you don’t know about it? Then they must be not locals!
"Of course not! We are sailors who come with the merchant ship! Brother, do you know? But, tell us?"
A crew member who didn't know the truth came over and handed a wine pot in a favorable manner.
"Oh? Then... just talk! Anyway, I can't survive now!"
Seeing that there was a benefit, the hired worker quickly put down the sack on his shoulders, sat on a pile of goods boxes, and began to tell the story vividly to several sailors.
"Tsk tsk, let me tell you, which little girl is amazing! This matter will start three months ago! Thinking about it..."
...
"Wow! Look! So many gold and silver treasures!!"
The witches' convoy had just walked for a while, and a large number of soldiers rushed towards the dock, and they were actually carrying more than a dozen carriages?
Then, under the shocked eyes of countless people, countless gold and silver treasures were slowly loaded and unloaded from a warship by sailors, and trucks were quickly filled with these carriages.
There were even many gold coin boxes that rolled down directly from the carriage. The carriages of gold, silver, jewelry and gold coins rolled all over the floor were blinding the eyes of the surrounding viewers.
They all started to stir up. If there weren't many witches and soldiers here to intimidate them, I'm afraid someone would have taken the lead in robbing them without hesitation?
What made the onlookers most incredible was that the dozens of large and small carriages actually took several trips back and forth before they could barely pull all the gold, silver and treasures from the three ships away.
What kind of treasure did they find? Or did they rob the treasury of a certain country? Otherwise, how could there be so much money?
The onlookers began to talk loudly again, wishing they could go up and grab one.
"These witches are so rich! It seems that we can earn a lot of gold from them. What do you think? Old guy?"
Captain Drunkard was holding a bottle of wine in his hand, and now he has been empty, which is Old Billy's twenty-year treasured wine.
"Come on, get out of here, hurry up and don't be upset on my boat anymore! Don't think I don't know what you want to make. I can warn you: step into the door of my captain's room for another step, and I will never end up with you!"
Old Billy roared and pushed forward. He planned to completely drive this old bastard off the boat. If he is here, his treasures in his wine cabinet will sooner or later suffer!
"You really disappointed me! As for being so stingy?"
There was no way to be driven away. The old alcoholic planned to retreat. Anyway, he had just drank two bottles and made a profit!
"Wait, don't push it...what is that? Oh! My God!"
The old alcoholic suddenly screamed, and even the empty wine bottle was thrown to the deck by him.
"What emperor is there? The witches here don't believe in any God! Hurry up and let me go! This..."
Old Billy continued to push his old friend, and when he subconsciously turned to look over, he was so shocked that he didn't bother to drive away the old bastard.
The people of Port Royal saw something that shocked them again today.
In addition to the gold, silver and jewelry that had pulled more than a hundred freight carriages, the witches actually dragged back a huge octopus?
Watching the soldiers shouting horns and driving hundreds of coolies, with the joint efforts of winch and manpower, they pulled two thick cables together and dragged an extremely huge octopus from the sea to the shallows.
The body of the octopus is as high as the mast of a sailboat? And the tentacles are enough to hold three adult men together?
People could only stare at the huge monster in front of them. They never expected that these witches were so fierce that even the legendary Norwegian sea monster was captured by them?
So, now, is there any existence above the entire sea that can stop them?
"Sister Mary...What should we do with this big octopus?"
Keriya Poford looked at the big octopus in front of her, and she felt that her calves were trembling.
If she hadn't known that it was actually dead, she would have run away long ago, right? A huge monster of this size, even if it was dead, could put huge psychological pressure on people!
"I don't know either……"
Mary shook her head with a blank look on her face, and she was also a little embarrassed.
How could she know how to deal with this kind of thing? Before their sister Charlotte left, she didn't explain much. Could it be that she would go back for advice?
"May I ask, what are the things that my subordinates can help?"
After commanding the coolies, they had to waste a lot of effort and finally dragged the big octopus to the shallows. After seeing the two witches in trouble, Charlie Herbert walked over with tactfulness.
"Oh! It's you! That's great! Let's do it now. Now this big octopus is left to you to deal with. You can do it!"
When Keliya and Mary, who were not sure what to do, saw Charlie coming, they breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't wait to assign the task and quickly got on the horse and left.
"Okay, sir, I'm happy to serve you!"
After watching the two girls leave, Charlie turned around and walked to the big octopus.
He pondered for a while, and raised his leg and kicked the tentacles of the big octopus. These tentacles have now begun to become a little stiff. If they were not handled earlier, once they rot in this hot climate, it would be a huge trouble!
If one cannot be handled properly, it will be a disaster!
He could imagine now that as long as it was left here, the stinking octopus body, the disgusting smell, could at least spread a few miles in Port Royal!
"Hurry up, find some people to cut off the best tentacles, and then send them to the military camp, the Witch Academy and the Governor's Mansion! Then, you can take as much as you can, and let the citizens take whatever they have left! We must handle it before dark!"
Charlie thought about it for a while and finally came up with a more reliable method.
After all, this octopus is so big that it will definitely be consumed by the military and municipal public officials alone! Moreover, it is difficult to preserve it, so just give it to the citizens to enjoy it at will, so you can save yourself and worry about it!
"Boss, I'm really allowed to use it at will? Isn't that good?"
A subordinate asked with some uncertainty, and he felt that it was a bit of a pity.
"If you can eat it all by yourself, or have any processing methods, it will belong to you!"
Charlie looked at the other party with dissatisfaction. Why is this stupid guy so stupid? This thing will turn into deterioration and corruption after being left for a day or two. What can he do?
"Ah? No, no! Then as you said, I'll do it right now!"
Today is the most comfortable and delicious day for the citizens of Port Royal. Not only did they gain knowledge, but the supper that night also became extremely rich!
Because almost every household received a large portion of octopus meat from the port! The portion weighed more than ten pounds! It is said that this octopus was caught from the sea when the witches returned. If there was no way to deal with it, it was given to all the citizens of Port Royal for free!
So, the citizens who had gained the benefits began to praise the witches for the first time.
Since the witches occupied the place, more merchant ships have traveled, their income has increased, and their lives have improved day by day.
Now, there are still free octopus meat to be received. Like such a big octopus, they are definitely the first time they have eaten it in the world!
“…”
After getting off the ship, Norrington did not leave the dock with the witch's team, but walked alone to the military area of ​​the port. Here, he stared blankly at the warships of the former Caribbean fleet and started to daze.
"Brother General!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves behind Norrington, and a cavalry who hid his whole body behind his armor rode behind him.
"I'm not a brigade general for a long time, you... are you?"
Norrington heard the people behind him calling him, and turned around in confusion.
Then, he only saw the visitor wearing iron armor and was rolling over from a war horse that was also wearing armor, which made him a little confused. He didn't know who this knight in armor was.
"It's me, Brigadier General!"
After dismounting, the Knight quickly took off the iron helmet from his head, allowing Norrington to recognize him.
"Gloves? You're..."
It turned out to be his previous adjutant. Seeing the other party's current appearance, Norrington also had a vague guess in his heart.
"Brother General! I am now the leader of the First Knights of the Advocate under the Fire God Cult! At present, I am temporarily in charge of 500 knights!"
Gloves still saluted Norrington in a regular manner, after all, the other party was his direct commander.
"You've decided?"
Norrington looked at the other person and nodded, which was also within his expectations.
After all, people go to high places and water flows to low places. For them, the low-level officers and soldiers, who defect to the current witch power, are obviously a better way out, and they are not willing to blame them too much.
"Yes, Brigadier General!"
Gloves looked at Norrington, but he wanted to say something, as if he wanted to say it, but he didn't know how to speak.
"Ha! Are you trying to persuade me?"
Looking at his subordinates like this, Norrington certainly knew what he wanted to do and couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"Your Excellency, it's time to make a decision! With your previous status, identity, and ability! As long as you join us, the future Fire Empire will surely have your place!"
Since joining the witch's power, Gloves has sufficient knowledge of the terrifying development trend and strength of the witches, and has also made some estimates of the High Priest Charlotte's plan.
Today, no one instructed him to do anything, but his personal wishes.
Since joining the witch's power, Gloves has already gained enough knowledge of their abilities. In addition, the fact that the Caribbean fleet was wiped out in the past, he has decided to follow the witch and go to the dark!
In Gloves's view, as long as he has witches and extraordinary powers on his side, all the enemies will be vulnerable!
So, when he saw his old commander coming to the military zone alone, he quickly took the time to come and become a lobbyist.
If you don’t join in now, then after the witches are still planning to fully develop and grow, there will be no such good opportunity now!
"Is the Fire Empire?"
Norrington pondered for a moment, and even he didn't expect that the hearts of these witches would be so big? They actually wanted to build an empire?
If someone else said this, Norrington would definitely think that the other party was crazy! Then, throw the other party two more ears?
But...if these witches, I'm afraid there is really a possibility!
During these three months, after so long contact with the three witches, he had already gained enough understanding of the power of the witches.
They are simply invincible in this world!
And with the witch's army, will you still lose in war? If the army cannot defeat it, then the witch will be on...
As long as there are enough personnel, it is not only a matter of time before they can take over the entire New World?
According to the current development momentum of witches, Norrington conservatively estimated that at most one to two years, as long as they do not commit suicide, the entire New World region will be won by their Fire God, right?
"Okay, I already know, you go back first, I want to be quiet now..."
Thinking of this, Norrington finally made a decision.
Now, those who stay in front of him have no choice. Going back to the British mainland will definitely be a dead end! And if you stay, no matter how bad you are, you can still become a founding general? Maybe... you can still become a great noble? For example, the founding grand duke?
However... he still wanted to talk to Governor Swan and his own fiancée Elizabeth first, and he needed to ask for the other party's opinions.
Until this time, Norrington didn't know that Weatherby Swan, the former governor of Port Royal, had been cheated and sold by his precious daughter. Even if he wanted to return to the country, he might not dare to go back now, right?
Because, his daughter, Elizabeth, had joined the witch's Fire God Cult without authorization and began to learn their witchcraft. Now, she is already a member of the witches completely. How could Weatherby Swan dare to go back?
Chapter completed!
