Chapter 175 The Golden Robbery IX

The treasure fleet on the northern line was tortured by pirates all day, and finally waited until nightfall.

In this era, because there is no searchlight or sonar and radar, night flight is a very dangerous thing. Moreover, everyone’s artillery battles rely on the naked eye to aim at them. Of course, it is even more unrealistic. If you fight a artillery battle at close range, it will seem like you die together no matter how you look at it.

So after nightfall, the Northern Line Fleet was finally relieved. Everyone organized the fleet into a loose round formation and then anchored. The pirates also disappeared into the night, and they thought they would not be able to see them the next day.

The Northern Line Treasure Fleet actually does not have much oil and water, gold is limited, silver is very large, but it is not cost-effective, and transportation is particularly difficult... As for those special products, only Europeans regard it as a good thing, and Caribbeans see too much. Therefore, the fleets of major powers go to the Southern Line to gnaw bones, and only pirates will stare at the Northern Line Fleet! They are not for money, but for the reputation of "robbing the Spanish Treasure Ship"!

The commander-in-chief of the Northern Line, Karkaz, knew this clearly. He even knew that if the pirates had not succeeded in the past two days, all kinds of tricks would appear one after another - disguised as shipwrecks, poisoning at the port, and chiseling the bottom of the ship at night... and so on, it was absolutely despicable.

At four or five o'clock in the morning, Karkaz, who could no longer sleep, walked onto the deck with his guards. He was spinning around the deck in the evening breeze, looking at the dark sea, which looked like lights floating on the water. Although he couldn't see it, he knew that they were all ships under his command. In terms of ability, ten Ferdinando could not match Karkaz's little finger; but in terms of background, ten Karkaz could not match Ferdinando's sister, the snow-white butt that swayed in front of Carlos II.

So he also considered himself unlucky and worked diligently to lead the Northern Line Treasure Fleet. The ambition of Spanish Governor LeBron is known to everyone except Carlos II. The position of commander of the Southern Line Fleet is a crater. Only Ferdinand, who relies on nepotism, will feel that it is a good opportunity to make a fortune.

Karkaz continued to patrol, but in the night he could not see, a ship appeared in the southeast of the fleet at a rapid speed. After the ship arrived, it suddenly slowed down before entering the fleet's guard circle. Her sails and hull were all dark and dark stripes. They could hide well in the night and quietly approach the fleet.

After approaching the fleet, a stream of black smoke like sea fog rose on the narrow hull, covering the hull. This black smoke seemed to be able to absorb any light reflected from the hull, making it impossible for the warship to see clearly even at a very close distance.

The warship did not hang wind lights on both the front and back of the ship and the four corners. She didn't seem to be afraid of collisions... What's more, in the night, she seemed to be able to see it, cleverly passing by the gaps in the ship and moving forward until she slowly entered the core ship.

Some ships saw a dark shadow passing by on the side, and some heard the sound. Even the fleet commander Karkaz heard the sound of the ship sailing, but when he and the guards were lying on the side of the ship, holding a lantern forward, opening his eyes wide, but still seeing nothing.

"You made the wrong idea!" Karkaz thought to himself, and he spread the fleet to his wings and lured the pirates forward.

However, everyone in the "Opera" adheres to the principle of running away if they take advantage of it and ignores his weakness! Lu Yuan drove the Garen ship to carry August and his stormtrooper, and the rest stayed on the "Erona" helmed by Li Huamei.

When the ship reached the position of the wind, it accelerated to about ten knots... In full view of everyone, the captain of the Garen ship, the "magic" of the "Opera", stood on the tall stern stairs and gestured in a strange posture - just like a magician was casting a spell! Then the Garen sailing ship, which was driving down the wind, suddenly accelerated to a lightning speed, and shot into the distance like a ray of light!

Everyone felt that in the blink of an eye... Lu Yuan had disappeared with his people and the ship.
