Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 454 Spice Islands
The landscape of Nanyang is very different from that of Beiyang.

The sky here is more open, the sun is brighter, the sea water is clearer, and the salty sea breeze is less gloomy and cold, and more hot and dry.

There are far more islands here than in the Beiyang, and the stars are densely covered. You can often see several of them in half a day, which is quite different from the situation in the Beiyang where you can't see land for more than ten days.The scenery on the island is also very southern, with snow-white or golden sandy beaches, tall coconut trees, and dense forests surrounded by light blue sea water, like emerald green gems.

Zhang Ang followed the Viking expeditionary fleet all the way from the cold and windy North Sea to the sunny South Sea.

The destination of the Vikings was the Spice Islands, the goal was the pirate alliance entrenched in the South China Sea, in order to subdue the pirate alliance and control the sea hegemony.

The Spice Islands, as the name suggests, is a general term for a series of islands famous for their rich spices.According to Zhang Ang's understanding, almost [-]% of the spices on the continent of Europa come from here. Spices can be used to make perfumes and condiments. Therefore, the sea and land between the Spice Islands and the Europa continent is also called the golden business route.

With the way of business, robbers are naturally indispensable.After all, compared to traveling thousands of miles to come here and work hard to purchase, dry, and then ship it back to sell, how can it be compared to grabbing a handful and doing a cost-free business?
There are many islands in the South Seas, and most of them are uninhabitable. After all, this is a vast sea, and people cannot live without fresh water.Only a few islands with freshwater lakes or freshwater springs are inhabited.

The Spice Islands is a general term for more than a dozen inhabited islands.The vegetation on these islands is dense, and many of them are unique plants that do not exist on the continent of Europa, and even transplantation and planting cannot be done. Many of them are spice plants.In addition to these inhabited islands, there are also many spice plants on other uninhabited islands.

The production of spices is also extremely complicated, requiring steps such as picking, drying, and grinding to become bags of spice powder or granules that are easy to transport and sell.And most of these jobs were handed over to the aborigines on those islands, those natives.

Hundreds of years ago, when the navigators of the continent of Europa discovered this place for the first time, they relied on their own strength to conquer the natives on these islands who were like primitive people, and trained them into slaves. They make spices.The natives need to shuttle among countless islands, pick bags of different spice raw materials, and then perform basic treatments such as drying, and hand them over to the masters of the spice islands for sale.The natives often only get very little food and rest, and many of them died of exhaustion every day.

The origin of the controllers of the Spice Islands is very complicated. There are Dutch, Spaniards, Italians, and British people from various coastal countries. As long as the country has a fleet, people from that country can be seen here, and there are even The people of the Holy See have a small church built by the Holy See.

The Dutch navigators were the first to discover this place, but the secret did not last long. After more than ten years of hard covering up, the secret of the Spice Islands was still leaked out.No matter which country is willing to give up such a treasure land that can continuously generate benefits, no matter which country it is, after hundreds of years of negotiations, it has become a place under the joint control of several maritime powers. Divide the area and share the benefits here together.

This is also the reason why the Nanyang Pirate Alliance did not attack the Spice Islands even though there was a Martial Saint in charge. Of course it was easy to defeat them, but they couldn't defend them!At that time, what they are about to meet will be the encirclement and suppression of several big countries, countless warships, countless masters, and even the powerful of the Holy See!

Yes, they could escape the encirclement and suppression with the help of the vastness of the ocean and their familiarity with the sea area. The regular fleets don't have time to spend with them all the time, but since they want to escape, why bother to lay down the islands?It doesn't make any sense at all!

Compared with the amount of robbery on the entire golden seaway, the amount of robbery by the Pirate Alliance is not considered a serious injury, so a certain tacit understanding has been maintained between the merchant ship and the pirates, and it is nothing more than a fight on weekdays. Based on their skills, if the pirates go too far, they should invite the regular army to sweep them around and make the trade roads peaceful for a while.
The Viking Pirate King pointed and said, "Look, the area ahead is the Spice Islands."

Looking at the series of land in front of him, Zhang Ang nodded: "Then are we going directly there?"

"No! We're not here to take down the Spice Islands, we're here for the Pirate Alliance." The Viking pirate king said: "Besides, with just the three of us, we don't have the ability to take down the Spice Islands."

"Are we looking for the Pirate Alliance? Looking for that black beard?" Zhang Ang then asked.

"No, we came here with such great fanfare, and many ships along the way have seen it, and the other party must have known the news and hid." The Viking Pirate King explained: "This sea area is their home field, and they are very familiar. If you want to find them Easy, now all we have to do is wait!"

"Wait?" Zhang Ang was puzzled.

"Yes, we have stolen their business now, and when they can't stand it anymore, they will naturally come out to fight us." The Viking Pirate King said with a smile: "At that time, it will be done once and for all."

"That's it." Zhang Ang nodded, roughly understanding the strategy of the Viking Pirate King.

"Okay, idle is idle, I'll show you something interesting." The Viking Pirate King turned his head: "Thor, you stay on the boat."

"What's interesting?" Zhang Ang expressed his confusion.

"Don't you believe our legend? I'll show you the evidence!" the Viking Pirate King said seriously.

How could it be possible to believe it? How could it be possible to shatter the entire continent to pieces by relying solely on manpower?Not to mention Martial Saints, even Martial Gods can't do it. This is a whole continent. Even the nuclear weapons of the previous life, the highest equivalent level can't do it. It's easy to wipe out a city or a mountain, but It is too exaggerated to smash an entire continent!
Moreover, taking ten thousand steps back, even if there is such a powerful existence, didn't the Martial God level above the Martial Saint break the void and go to another place? How could he stay here and participate in the war? Let's fight the whole continent Gotta smash?Such a large destructive power can be called the extermination level, and the waves it set off are enough to submerge the entire continent of Europa not far from the sea!Why is this incident never mentioned in the German royal classics?

Therefore, this is a fairy tale after all. The Vikings do not seem to be a refined race.

Seeing the disbelief on Zhang Ang's face, the Viking Pirate King said helplessly, "Forget it, come with me, and you will know after seeing it!"
