After Becoming The Tyrant

Winter night, Kossoya port.

Completely different from the past, the center of the once-navigating ship net was now shrouded in chills, and the peninsula that stretched out to the sea began to fall into a tense atmosphere a week ago.The five-port alliance rejected the governor's search, and the first port ships except the Dawson family began to converge on Kossoya.

The first port forces headed by the Guros family tried to complete the preparations before the king's war order was issued.

A total of 47 ships, large and small, are moored at the dock in Kossoya Port, and the most dazzling ones are the four big ships of the First Port family.

But preparing for battles these days is not very enjoyable.

The trade law was promulgated, and the alliance cities left one after another, and the prestige of the five-port alliance plummeted.

The pirates who used to fear them became rampant during this time, wantonly robbing the ships in the first port.Since Ancient Ross gathered the ships controlled by the first port to Kothsoya in preparation for the war, the pirates drove small boats to attack them every day at night.

Those pirates are very cunning, they only attack the small boats that are close to the mouth of the sea, and they will never provoke the big ships of the First Port family.

In order to stabilize people's hearts and to show that the Cinque Port Alliance is still inviolable, the Patriarch of Guros has ordered the ships to prepare. If the pirates appear again tonight, they will immediately go to war and pay the price for those who hear the blood and want to take a bite.

The harbor looked the same as it did the previous few days, with ships moored quietly in the shadows.

When the sailors gradually lost their patience, the shadows of pirate clippers appeared on the sea, and their indulgent whistles came from afar.

When the pirate ship approached, the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air suddenly sounded.

In the darkness, the port was lit with fire.

The big ship "Ravel" of the Guros family had been called out and docked at a place close to the sea outlet in the evening. After the pirates approached tonight, the shooting tower on the Guros warship immediately flew out of the sky full of iron arrows. It rained down on those pirate ships who dared to come and make trouble.

The frivolous whistles of the pirates stopped abruptly, and they burst into curses, wailing mixed with curses.

In the darkness, the lighthouse of Kossoya Port lit up, and the light flickered, followed by the long siren sound from the "Ravel", which was sharp and piercing.The originally peaceful and quiet port woke up and boiled in an instant, and the large and small ships that had been aggrieved for several days lit up at the same time.

The sailors on the "Laville" shouted in unison, and the white sail was hoisted in an instant.Like a beast waking up from a deep sleep, the giant ship broke through the calm sea and rushed out of the port amidst the noise.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the pirates turned the bow of the ship, trying to use the speed of the boat to leave quickly.

But Kossoya Port has made sufficient preparations to vent its anger tonight.One by one, the warships left the port and sailed into the sea, opening up a pocket-like encirclement, gradually enveloping the pirate ship.

The sailors, who had been suffocated for several days, shouted in unison, cursing at the pirate ship that they had never paid attention to in the past.

"Smash them!"

The patriarch of Guros stood on the ship tower of "Ravel", looked coldly at the small boats flying on the sea, and gave an order.

As the most powerful family of the Cinque Port Alliance, the iconic warship "Ravel" of the Guros family is definitely one of the most powerful warships today.This is a giant ship with three masts and multiple sails. The mast is composed of pine cores and has a diameter of one meter.Three huge sails are hung on each mast, and there are neat long rows of giant oars on both sides of the hull. Even without the help of wind, it can still wreak havoc on the sea.

The wind was strong tonight, the sails swelled like shells, the oarsmen shouted in unison, the Lavelle left a long white mark on the sea, the speed was astonishingly fast in a short period of time, and it gradually caught up with the swift The famous pirate ship.

The distance is close, and the trebuchet loaded upstairs is ready to shoot.

With an order from Guros, the boulder replaced the iron arrow and smashed against the pirate ship in front with a whistling wind.

The sea water splashed high, and the sound was astonishing. Some unlucky pirate ships were rubbed, rolled over and sank into the sea.The terrified howls of the pirates lingered in the air.The Guros family used the ship-mounted trebuchet, which can be called a killer weapon, and the other two big ships from the first port that came out together were not far behind.

For a while, it was like a meteor whistling and falling, and boulders rained like rain.

In order to avoid the boulder, the pirate ship ignored the familiar coastline and rushed forward blindly.But the rest of the first port warships have gradually gathered.

Except for Mrs. Poison Spider's big ship guarding the port of Kossoya, the rest of the big ships in the first port have joined the siege against pirates. This is a massacre. What they want is to stand upright and vent their anger. This is not uncommon at sea. matter.

The rest of the warships surrounded them.

Most of the accompanying warships are single-deck galleys. They are not as big as the big ships in the first port, but they are definitely better than the pirates.After they gather together, each ship is a sword.The ship rushed forward through the waves, and the sharp bow rammed into the pirate ships, trying to sink these embarrassing pirates with the usual domineering of the Cinque Port Alliance to vent their hatred.

An encirclement circle formed on the wide sea surface, the black waves rolled over, and the icy seawater splashed and poured down like a torrential rain.

The First Harbor sailors yelled loudly, avenging the insults they had suffered the night before.

They thought they would see the trembling and pleading faces of their enemies.

The bows of the ship are staggered, and the merchant ships of the first port are like sharp knives staggered into the pirate ships that are approaching.The sailors who were preparing for the day cheered and couldn't wait to stand up from the deck, draw out their knives, and wanted to jump onto the other side's ship to kill those hateful enemies.

However, more indulgent laughter sounded out.

Their enemies laughed too.

The pirates leaped from their ships, unaware that their ship was being knocked over and tipped, unaware that the water was drowning their ship.Under the astonished eyes of the sailors, they threw out the iron chains and hooked them on the warships in the first port.

Seeing the iron lock that was thrown out as sensitive as a snake, the face of the experienced old sailor changed instantly.

"Worthway Pirates!"

I don't know who yelled in fear first.

In an instant, this cry spread across the sea.

Guros on the "Ravel" snatched the torch from the deputy next to him. He stood on the bow and threw the torch down to illuminate the overturned pirate ship below: "What's going on!"

He roared in disbelief.

Although most merchant ships are also part-time pirates today, there are still some more thorough professional pirates on both sides of the Abyss Strait.

One of the best is the Walwe pirates who are good at using iron shackles as a symbol.

They are active along the central coast of Legrand, and are recognized as the most fearsome pirates on the sea.

Walway pirates, these guys are a bunch of desperadoes.Unlike other pirates who always go ashore to rob, they regard themselves as wild men of the ocean and hardly stay on the coast.They are integrated with the sea, even if it is stormy, they are driving the boat and wandering on the sea.

They are the ghosts of the sea.

Every Walway pirate is the best sailor and the most ruthless butcher.

But they have never had any conflicts with the Five-Port Alliance, and the scope of activities of the two parties is no longer in the same place. How could they suddenly appear here and attack the port disguised as ordinary pirates for several days?

"wrong!"

Guros woke up with a start, and he roared, causing all the ships to disperse immediately.How could the Walway pirates be surrounded by them so easily? !

"Withdraw! Withdraw!"

The sea wind roared, and the sea water brought up by the collision of the ships splashed down like cold rain.There was noise everywhere, and Guros' shout was drowned out by the noise, but he regained his senses and blew the flute as a signal vigorously, the sound of which was shrill, shrill and urgent.

But, it's too late.

One after another pirates emerged from the sea, with gleaming daggers in their mouths.

The boulders thrown by the main ship of the first port just now failed to bury them in the bottom of the sea!These guys just took the opportunity to dive into the water, and they dived all the way, and they hacked through the planks of the boat in the water.These insidious guys specially pick the smallest ships and get them as quickly as possible.

"Archery archery!"

Gurus ordered.

There was growing uneasiness in his heart.

The ferocious pirates threw iron chains across the sky, with cold iron hooks at the end.Like sharp knives, the warships of the first port that were staggered into the pile of pirate ships were locked together in series in an instant.Guros didn't want to care about the lives of the sailors on the ship at all, he just urged the shooting platform to shoot arrows.

You must rush out of here quickly, otherwise something more terrible will happen.

The sailors on the big ship have been stunned by this series of changes. They originally thought that they were the hunters tonight, but the facts told them that they were just someone else's dinner.In the sound of urging, the crew hurriedly removed the catapult and replaced it with a longbow, and were about to shoot arrows from top to bottom.

As soon as the longbow was drawn, those Volwe pirates who suddenly appeared here turned over in unison and jumped into the icy sea water again.

There was a loud noise like thunder.

Another place in the darkness lit up a dark red light.

"Holy Lord!"

The sailors stared dumbfounded at the direction of the sound, and someone dropped a longbow to the deck.

Lord!what the hell is it!

On the sea, I don't know when there will be more ships.As they exhausted their efforts to force the pirate ships together, the ships quietly surrounded them too.If it had just left the port, the First Harbor Fleet would not be afraid of these warships, but they had already been counted on by those damn pirates.

The loud noise came from the iron guns mounted on the largest enemy ship.

The crude artillery has no attack power, but its sound is loud, and it is used as a signal at this time.

The torches were lit on the warships that sailed out of the darkness, and in the light of the fire, Guros saw the sail flags hoisted on the warships.

——It was a huge scarlet sail, and iron roses bloomed scorchingly on the dark red curtain.

Rose, Rose!

"Royal Fleet!!"

Guros staggered and took two steps back. He leaned on the cold railing, his whole body was cold.

"impossible!"

Messy thoughts filled the minds of him and all First Harbor members—

Why did the Volwe pirates active in the central coast of Legrand appear here?Why did the warships of the Holy Court arrive before the royal fleet appeared?The royal fleet has such a big target on the sea, why didn't the explorers of Kossoya report?

It seems to know their doubts.

The pirates appeared on the sea in front of the warship flying the King Rose flag. They laughed loudly and tore off the front of their breasts.Under the skull logo, which is often used as a symbol of pirate status, there is also a rose pattern of the royal family.

These wild pirates are sent by the king!

king--

He sent a group of desperadoes!

Two men whose hair seemed to be burnt stood beside the cannon of the main ship of the Royal Fleet. They were deaf to the commotion in front of them, but squatted in front of the cannon, chanting words.

Beside these two stood the King's Admiral, and a pirate in a ragged coat and a black hat slanted on his head.

The royal fleet approached.

The warships at Shougang were in a panic, trying to break free from the chains.However, the small boats have already been cut through the boards, and the sea water poured in, and they are sinking rapidly, while the larger boats are connected with them by criss-crossed iron cables, being dragged and gradually tilted, with "Lavel" as the forerunner. The core ship at the first port was trapped in the middle, like a quagmire.

"Hey!"

In the wind, the black hat pirate standing on the main ship of the royal fleet shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty asked me to convey a word—"

In the sound of his broken gong, the sailors on the royal warship appeared on the bow carrying buckets of unknown things.

The governor raised his hand high and swung it down forcefully.

Sailors poured the viscous black liquid from barrels into seawater.

The pirates yanked the ropes hanging from the ship and quickly climbed aboard the royal ship.They stood in the boat and cried out with their leader:

"Is this fire big enough?"

The sound of the wind tore their screams into fragments, and these desperadoes, who were also covered in blood, shouted and laughed over and over again.

Amidst the laughter, the royal fleet retreated quickly.

The pirate captain and some sailors drew their longbows with rockets on them.The rocket flew through the air and fell into the water.

Amid wild laughter, the fire roared and surged up.

The sea wind was strong, and in the blink of an eye, the fire was already raging like the end of a natural disaster.The scarlet flames spread rapidly across the Black Sea, and in a blink of an eye it became a lake of fire, a vast expanse of purgatory.Black smoke fluttered upwards, circling like a poisonous snake.

On the observation tower of Kossoya Port, Mrs. Poisonous Spider in a black dress leaned on the window sill and looked at the looming fire from a distance.

"What a terrible sire."

For a long time, the poisonous spider known as "snake and scorpion" said bitterly.

Even she did not expect that the king finally resorted to this method.

Is it enough for the fire that erupted after a thousand years to burn down the five-port alliance?

In the wind, the pirates delivered the answer instead of the king who was far away in the Rose Palace, but whose will was shrouded in this sea area:

"--Far from enough."

The fire was raging, and the white sails of the ambitious House of Groth curled in the fire.

On the royal battleship that was gradually going away, the rose king flag hanging high was printed with bronze-like ancient splendor.Little by little the great ships of old were burned to ashes in the flames.The "God's Punishment" spoken by the Holy Court was ultimately driven by the Qiangwei family.

In the snowy winter, the first fire ignited on the sea southeast of Legrand.

Since then, there has been no "uncrowned king of sea and commerce".

………………

The five-port alliance resistance movement is over.

The reason for the end is simple - the five-port alliance no longer exists.

Legrand's southeast nobles probably won't be able to sleep well during this time.

They just took a nap, but when they woke up the next day, they found that the royal warships had already docked at various ports including Kossoya, and the Rose King flag hung brightly in front of them.

Lord!Can anyone tell them what the hell is going on?Why did the world turn upside down overnight?

The nobles and the chambers of commerce who had withdrawn from the alliance watched in horror as the royal warship wiped out the remnants of the Cinque Port Alliance all the way, and couldn't figure out what was going on.During this sweep, among the five first port families, Mrs. Poisonous Spider and the Dawson family remained.

But they honestly handed over the port they controlled.

When he saw the ship flying the royal flag appear in view, Patriarch Dawson heaved a sigh of relief—his choice this time was not wrong.

"What a cruel and terrible king."

He whispered the same exclamation as Mrs. Poisonous Spider.

Young Patriarch Dawson thought about the previous meeting.

That time he set off to attend the parliament in person, in order to see with his own eyes the young king whom he had only heard about before.Before the guillotine where the sheriffs died, Patriarch Dawson finally made up his mind - he was a king whose heart was as hard as steel, and he absolutely didn't care about throwing one more Dawson family on the guillotine.

Patriarch Dawson saw the king.

He knelt on the ground on one knee, begging for all the wealth of the family in exchange for a life.

"Did you make a mistake?"

To this day, Patriarch Dawson still clearly remembers the king's soft, but chilling voice.

"As long as the Dawson family ceases to exist in this world, won't your wealth also belong to me?"

"Tell me your value, sir," said the king slowly, "better value than the direct possession of the Dawson family wealth."

"I can convince a man for you."

He thought about it and answered.

........................

Rose Palace.

"They are even better than what you said." The king read the letters from the southeast and praised, "It would be great if the sailors of the royal fleet were as good as them."

"That's because you gave them a chance to show off, Your Majesty."

replied the Duke of Buckingham.

On that day, the Duke of Buckingham mentioned the famous Walwe pirates to the king-they did have a bad reputation, but merchant ships of this era are willing to do some pirate work if they have the opportunity.The difference is that Walway pirates are more conscientious in the profession of "pirate".

To some extent, their reputation among ordinary people is better than that of the Five-Port Alliance.

Because Walway pirates don't kill ordinary people.

——Although this is purely because the civilians are too poor, they are not within the target range of such thieves.

The Duke of Buckingham asked the king if he could accept a pirate chief as one of his officers.

After listening to the Duke of Buckingham tell the story of the Walwe pirates, the king replied:

"As long as he can destroy the warships of the Cinque Port Alliance and protect the port from damage, even a pirate is qualified to serve as an admiral."

The King knows all about the capabilities of the Royal Fleet.

Even if the five-port alliance falls apart, the royal fleet still has to pay a huge price to completely destroy these "uncrowned kings" who traverse the entire abyss strait all day long.

The pirates wandering in the harsh sea got the letter of commission from the king and set off down the coast.

At the same time, the Dawson family, who had been silent all the time, was instructed by the king to patrol the outer waterway of Kossoya.

The ship sent by the Guros family to transport the holy objects was intercepted by them. Even if Guros waited for another two weeks, he would not be able to wait for reinforcements from the Holy Court.

When Guros gathered all the remaining ships in the first port and prepared to stand in a stalemate with the king until the Holy Court arrived, an invisible blockade line had been quietly opened across the sea.

The last wonderful night battle was the idea of ​​the pirate chief.

The King did not think he was any better at this than the experienced Admiral or the notorious Corsair of Walwy.He gave the Admiral a great deal of power - the battle plan was decided by him and the pirate chief.

The king believed in the ability of the Walwe pirates who could escape many pursuits, and at the same time believed in the loyalty of the governor of the navy, one of the royalists.

With inconvenient transportation and slow communication, if the king in the palace insisted on reaching out to intervene in the battlefield far to the southeast, there would be no good results.

So the king did only one thing.

He sent two chemists to the viceroy and pirate chief.

The cooperation between the royal warship and the pirates was extremely unbelievable, but the king threw two mad scientists into it...

Things get exciting.

The relationship between the Volwe pirates and various ship merchant forces is terrible, and almost all chambers of commerce list them as enemies.However, in this case, they are still at ease at sea.

They are desperadoes but also cunning and cunning.

The speed of the pirate ships was faster than that of the royal fleet. After they arrived near Kossoya, they did not take any direct action. Instead, they harassed the warships of the Cinque Port Alliance while waiting for the arrival of the royal fleet.

One of the purposes of the harassment is to understand the current strength of Shougang, and the other is to get in touch with Mrs. Poisonous Spider.

Mrs. Poisonous Spider, who was instigated by Patriarch Dawson, won the vigilance mission. It was she who concealed the news that the royal warship had arrived in the nearby waters.

After making contact with Mrs. Spider, the pirates passed on the information to the Royal Fleet.The fleet was approaching Kossoya quietly. Prior to this, the pirates had been pretending to be very arrogant and constantly attacking at night.Finally, the undisturbed Guros made a plan for the attack.

Mrs. Spider managed to pass the plan on to the pirates.

So the bastards had a brilliant plan, too.

——The pirates pretended to be fleeing, and led the first port battle fleet out of the port.Then they abandoned their pirate ships and used the chains and chains used when the two ships collided and had a docking battle to drag the first port fleet in place.This is a bold and reckless plan, and no one can do it except the water-like desperadoes.

Fortunately, they succeeded.

These rebellious pirates proved to the king that they were strong enough to get away with it.

"God is a righteous judge, what He shoots is a rocket, and punishes treason... You said that the Holy Court knew that their God's fire of punishment was used by mortals, how would they react?"

The king looked through the battle reports, and he seemed to be very interested in this question.

"Probably similar to how people react when they find out that the new admiral is a pirate."

replied the Duke of Buckingham.

It's time for the king to meet his general.

A pirate general.
