[Congratulations, after a great victory, your flag becomes the real pirate flag!]
[Simon Flag: Whenever this flag is raised, the morale of the entire crew is +2. If the other party's reputation is lower than half of the captain of the Simon, it will be in panic. Morale is -2, and the possibility of surrender will increase significantly. After the flag is hung, a new flag cannot be replaced within a day and night.ps: The Simon Flag is a pirate flag. If the Simon Flag is a pirate flag, it will be attacked by the navies of various countries.]
Lu Yuan took this folded side and looked carefully with a new flag. The pattern of the Siren has become a simple style. In addition, this flag has now become an attribute equipment that can be carried out of the world... It's a strange harvest.
The flags that have been hanging, painted with siren patterns, finally grew into a real pirate flag at this moment, and at the same time they have their own special attributes. It is no longer as simple as a symbol or a piece of cloth.
Unfortunately, the upgrade of the flag at this time is almost helpless to the current harsh situation!
The current situation of "Sirens" is not very bad.
The secondary mast was broken, leaving only the main mast intact. After the lack of the largest sail, the flexibility and speed of the ship were greatly affected. The captain's room under the stern was gnawed. Although the problem was not big, it would also affect the balance of the ship.
But these are still small problems. The most serious thing at the moment is the collective morale of the crew! They are not only tired after the naval battle, but also not only fear of the flag of Morgan. As senior pirates who live on the sea all year round, they know what kind of combat effectiveness a complete Brig brig ship is, let alone the famous "Sea Wolf"!
Over the past month, they also knew what the combat power of the Siren is - it can be said that if it was the harsh sea conditions of storms, the Siren is a god! But in this warm weather, the Siren is just an injured Skuna schooner, and it is still a sloop! This ship cannot do more now. The various magical aspects of their captain lack the support of the ship and the sea. They cannot play.
Everyone was feeling down when they realized that they might suffer their first failure in a month.
************
Lu Yuan jumped onto the first floor of the main mast sail, stood on the crossbar five meters high from the deck, and the heads of the pirates! He clapped his hands hard and gathered everyone's eyes.
The seamen gathered in the direction of the mast, and many of them knew that the captain planned to make a pre-war mobilization. Those sailors who were unwilling to fail were looking forward to Shi Lu Yuan being able to give a morale-inspiring speech! They were ready to fight for whatever belief! Some were the "old sea wolf" as the saying goes, and they had changed several ships. They had heard the speeches of many captains, and their hearts were already cold. These people gathered here just to make themselves look less conspicuous, and then pretend to behave. As the old sea wolf, no matter the victory or defeat of the ship, they always had a way to survive.
August stood under the mast with the injured Jacques. Elizabeth held Misha and Zhuo Chicken, fully armed in front of the wheel rudder. Jin blocked the parrot's mouth with nuts and stood on the wooden barrel with it. Helen must be behind him. Everyone was waiting for Lu Yuan's speech...
But when Lu Yuan started to speak, all the crew members were stunned because he was talking about things that had nothing to do with the battle in front of him.
"A sailor in Havana can get thirty-five pesos in silver coins a month when he goes out to sea; while a clerk in the commercial district can only get thirty pesos in salary for a month. A captain who leads fifty musketeers pays 150 pesos a month; and a respected owner with a small boat, he personally participates in the cargo transport every day, gets up early and goes to Santiago and Havana, and only gets 500 pesos a month!"
A gentle laughter came from the crowd. The examples given by Lu Yuan were all the ones they knew basically, so they quickly grabbed everyone's attention, and even the old sea wolves listened with relish.
"So, who knows how many pesos you can get at the end of this month?" Lu Yuan's question was like a sharp fast sword, which suddenly penetrated directly into the core of the problem! This question was like a torch, instantly igniting the pirates' eyes. They stared at Lu Yuan's lips without blinking, hoping to hear a number that made them crazy from it. In fact, this amount has been circulating among pirates for a long time, but it has been speculation.
"Is it a sailor, a clerk? Or a musket captain, or a ship owner?"
"I guess there are five hundred pesos! Sir! Just like the respectable ship owner!" A young pirate said boldly. His words caused a buzzing sound, and no one laughed, because everyone stared at Lu Yuan nervously, afraid that he would shake his head to deny it! Some people were even rowing crosses and praying constantly. Lu Yuan was keen to hear many people saying, "Just five hundred pesos, God, I won't pray for more."
The pirates actually don’t have an accurate number, or even any number, and they only know a lot. Because Lu Yuan and Elizabeth’s identities determine that after they get ashore, they deal with them are either rich or noble, all the sales process is done in secret, and the key positions are all his confidants, so the pirates have no way to inquire.
Therefore, if you want to know the amount, you can only guess.
And among the news circulating in the Caribbean, there has never been a precedent for sharing more than 200 pesos. Therefore, although some people are spreading rumors that they can get thousands of pesos! Almost everyone scoffed at this news - "Thousands? Are you crazy about money?! Just five hundred pesos!" This has almost become a unified understanding of the pirates.
"Am I that stingy? Your income is twice that of the ship owner!" Lu Yuan raised a finger and said in a small but very certain voice, "One thousand! One thousand pesos per person!"
"Wow~!!" The pirates all jumped up with excitement! They hugged each other, beat their chests, and shouted. They were so excited that they were so excited that they were shocked by this sudden surprise! "It's really a thousand peso! It's really a thousand peso!" They shouted at each other in disbelief, even the old sea wolves were no exception! No, they were even more excited! Because they had experienced more disappointments in the past.
"Forget those dirty taverns, you will buy your own houses! Forget these days when you can't eat enough, you will own your own land! Forget those ugly bitches in the port area, go find a serious woman with big ass and let her give you a bunch of children!" Lu Yuan continued to bewitch.
"Oh my God, my God!" The pirates were so excited that they could not speak. Many people were choking in tears, and most of them were in longing. What Lu Yuan said now, they had thought about it before - when they were dreaming! But some people were yelling wildly, "I want to go to Havana to buy the Governor's Mansion!" Some shouted, "I'm going to marry a prostitute! I love her!"...
"We have been busy all month, and we are sailing towards Port-au-Prince. When we get there, I will prepare a bulging wallet for each of you and my blessings! Gentlemen." Lu Yuan raised his voice so that everyone could hear it. "But I regret to inform you now that the money may be gone!"
"What? Why...nothing?" The pirates seemed to fall from heaven to hell. Suddenly Jacques pointed to the black sailboat coming towards him, "Is that ship?! That ship!"
"I want to tell you! Guys! Our money is placed on the Siren! If we are defeated, it will become Morgan's tax! The 1,000 pesos for each of you, your house, land and wife are all Morgan's! You still have nothing, and you can still be pirates!" Lu Yuan spread his hands, his words like a hammer, breaking the pirates' glass heart bit by bit. "But!" He raised his tone, "As long as we defeat the Sea Wolf..."
The pirates' eyes lit up again, and at this moment, they were as childish as children chasing candy.
"Win this time! Everyone is a mogul!" Lu Yuan shouted the strongest slogan hundreds of years later!
"Everyone is a mogul!" As several people familiar with Lu Yuan shouted, the atmosphere became hot again.
"Kill him! Kill him!" At this time, August stood up! He was gasping, his face was red, and his veins clenched his fists and shouted, "Whoever touches our money! We will fight with him!"
"Kill him! Kill him! Whoever touches our money! We will fight with you!" The pirates shouted wildly. At this moment, that one thousand pesos is no longer a matter of money. It is a better life in the future and the wish of the little people in the Caribbean! For the overnight prostitution in the port, they can all pick up the knife and jump the bang. So what can they pay to own a house, land and real women?!
Just think about it and you will know!
"This is our last battle! Guys! Take out all your strength!" Lu Yuan pulled out his "narwhal" scimitar and raised it, "I will take you to win for a whole month! Following my command, we will continue to win! Raise the sail! Raise the sirens flag! Get ready to start the war!"
"Oh Ou!" The pirates roared in a low voice, each burning and running. They were full of strength and had never been so proactive in their work.
Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction, held the wheel rudder, and began to find the upper hand.
Chapter completed!
