At this time, Captain Niharu, the adjutant of Teral, suddenly said:
"Sir, why don't we send another ship to lead the warship away?"
"Turn away that ship?" Teral was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what Nihalu meant, that was to do another "tug the tiger away from the mountain".
Then, Teral divided a ship and attacked Saint Joje Island, which was close to Texerra. Saint Joje Island is very close to Texerra. In most of the day, the letter of help was sent to Hero Port.
Heard that there was only one pirate ship, Rui Silva sent the last warship without thinking. And his adjutant Lavalo reminded:
"Sir, there are no warships to protect Hero Harbor now..."
Rui Silva waved his hand and said:
"It's okay, Heroes City is an extremely solid fortress, with artillery protection. There are hundreds of garrisons in the city, so they are not afraid of pirate attacks. Moreover, there is only one port for Heroes Port on Tsera Island. But the pirate ships dare not land again because they will be hit by artillery on the city wall..."
Rui Silva is right. In this era, large ships did not dare to dock without professional docks. Large ships were not small boats, and they were not afraid of being stranded. If the boats were stranded, the sailors could push the ship away with force. If the big ships were stranded, they would be doomed and could only wait for the rising tide. You know, there was no lifting machinery in this era, and ships relied heavily on the power of nature. Texela Island was not big, and there was only a good port in the surrounding area. Even if a pirate ship wanted to attack Texela Island, it would be a problem for ships to rely on the port. Before, pirate ships attacked San Miguel Island and San Jose Island, they both docked at the only local port to land. However, there were no artillery counterattacks in the castle in the local port, so they could only watch the pirates landed on the docks and did not dare to go out of the city to fight. Because there were only dozens of troops on both islands, and they did not dare to provoke pirates of hundreds of people.
After the only warship in Hero Port left, a pile of wolf smoke suddenly rose on the island, and then three pirate ships stopped in the water 10 kilometers west of Hero Port.
Then, dozens of rafts were thrown down, carrying 150 sailors in batches, and began to land on the beach...
Because it was broad daylight, their behavior was naturally clearly seen by the Portuguese on the shore. Then, someone notified Rui Silva in the Hero City 10 kilometers away...
"What? One or two hundred pirates forced landing near the Silva plantation on rafts?"
Rui Silva was panicked. He didn't expect that these pirates would not play according to common sense and land on rafts. You know, landing on rafts is easy, but it cannot take away large items of property. Therefore, pirates usually attack ready-made ports. In this way, they can use the docks on the port to ship large items of property. If they send rafts and small boats to land on the shore, it would be convenient. However, there are no places in the port, and there will definitely be no towns nearby, so there will be no oil and water. What can you get by robbing those small villages?
Originally, Rui Silva felt a little strange. It was not until the second group of people who reported the letter came to tell him that the pirates took away the slaves that Silva plantation had captured a few months ago. Rui Silva suddenly realized it, and then his face turned pale...
"So that's it...so that's it..."
No matter how stupid he was, he could react - how could he be pirates? It was clearly the army of the Beihai Kingdom...
The other party was very clever. He first pretended to be a pirate to attack San Miguel Island, transferred six warships from Hero Port, and later attacked San Jose Island, and transferred the only warship left behind. Then, they began to land on the Silva Plantation and snatched the enslaved former North Sea Sailors...
This link is very clever. Moreover, when someone sent one or two hundred people to land, Rui Silva in the Hero City did not dare to act rashly. Because he had only more than 100 soldiers in his hand. If he didn't say that he might not be able to defeat the enemy if he didn't say that he would not be able to fight, and Rui Silva did not dare to send everyone out of the city and gave up guarding Hero Port, the most important port city in the Azores...
So, he could only watch the soldiers of the Beihai Kingdom's Marine Corps rescued the 38 enslaved sailors in the Silva manor onto the ship. Before leaving, as if to vent their anger, the Beihai Kingdom's sailors burned all the houses in the Silva plantation...
Thinking of the news that his baron leader had been attacked from the land before, Rui Silva didn't understand - he had already found out what he did. Moreover, he gave strong revenge.
This time, he robbed the transport ship of Beihai Kingdom, but made a profit of more than 30,000 gold coins. However, the loss received by the Baron had exceeded 20,000 gold coins.
The most terrifying thing is that his only son, who was a few years old, was kidnapped for a long time, scaring the people under Baron Silva to death. Although half a day later, the kidnappers sent the person back. However, there was a small note on the young master who sent it back, which said: I am not young to death in your country, but I can die of you... and your son...
Combined with the so-called "pirates" incident in the Azores, Rui Silva understood everything - it was done by Marin, the North Sea Kingdom. The other party was clever and vicious. Compared with him, he was simply too weak. The most terrifying thing was that his people could kill his only son at any time...
Thinking of this, Rui Silva collapsed on the chair and murmured:
"I'm provoking a ruthless person I shouldn't provoke..."
However, things are not over...
...
A few days after the rescue operation, a Portuguese merchant ship full of Indian spices was robbed near the waters of the Madeira Islands...
The person in charge of the hijacking ship was Captain Jack and his "Black Pearl" that Marin valued very much. Because it was modified, the "Black Pearl" only ran a little faster than ordinary ships. Therefore, the unlucky Portuguese transport ship was caught up without any surprise and the entire ship was captured.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In this era, both English pirates and Barbary pirates have not yet emerged in the Atlantic Ocean. Only golden waters such as the Mediterranean, the North Sea, the Baltic Sea, are the areas where pirates are active. Therefore, the Portuguese were negligent and were caught by "Captain Jack" and "Black Pearl"...
After capturing the Portuguese merchant ship, "Captain Jack" raised his orchid finger and jumped onto the captured Portuguese transport ship, and said in a less skillful Portuguese monster:
"Don't be nervous, babies! We are pirates, pirates with principles! So, we won't kill people randomly..."
But as soon as the Portuguese crew breathed a sigh of relief, "Captain Jack" ruthlessly ordered the captain and chief mate of the Portuguese transport ship to be killed...
The Portuguese sailors were confused - what if they promised not to kill? Are you lying to us?
At this time, "Captain Jack" spoke with his orchid fingers up again:
"Babys, don't be afraid. I'm killing those two guys is just a revenge. Let me tell you the specific reason, Baron Rui Silva caused the trouble!"
"In addition, I want to weigh the spices worth 38,000 Ducate gold coins to compensate us for the losses caused by Baron Silva..."
"I want to emphasize that we are pirates with principle. If you say that you will kill your whole family, you will kill your whole family! Well, this time we are just taking back our own losses... Let me tell you that we will take away spices worth 33,000 gold coins as compensation for goods. The other 4,000 gold coins are compensation for the destroyed ship (because the 250-level merchant ship is too special to take action, so it was destroyed by Rui Silva). As for the remaining 1,000 gold coins, it is used to serve as pensions for the dead captain and chief mate..."
These are all what Marin deliberately asked "Captain Jack" to tell those Portuguese sailors. He just wanted to tell the Portuguese - I am very disciplined and only get back my own losses! As for the losses of this ship, you should blame Baron Silva...
In short, Rui Silva was in trouble this time because the loss of spices on this ship and all the losses of the Azores manors during the implementation of the "Tiggering Tigers Out of the Mountains" strategy were to blame him for his head...
After saying that the spices worth 38,000 gold coins were taken away, "Captain Jack" happily let the Portuguese spice ship go...
Before leaving, "Captain Jack" raised his orchid finger and repeatedly emphasized:
