  Chapter 156 The Eve of the War

  On Heard Island, most of the people who come and go come and go for supplies, exchange supplies, or come here to indulge and look for happy scattered pirates.

  The two forces on the island belong to Mahamadu and Safra, and they control the greatest interests.

  Mahamado's general in Heard Island is called Ed Harold.

  He has fifteen warships under his command. The largest ship has more than 200 sailors and 8 cannons; the smallest ship is also equipped with a cannon and 20 sailors; the total number of crew members is more than 1,500;

  Safra's general in Heard Island is called Drizzt Reddy, and the number of warships and sailors is about the same as Ed's.

   Once these two forces are dispatched, they are enough to suppress all the scattered pirates near Heard Island.

after all.

  Dug's original Smiling Angel had only a poor crew of 12 people, not even the configuration of the smallest warship under Ed's command.

  The merchant ships of the Du Fei family and the ships captured by the navy stationed in Hong Kong only had a carrying capacity of about 50 people, which belonged to a small force that could not be smaller.

  Even if Dug's pirate group expanded to 350 people in one day, there was basically nothing left on his side when it clashed head-on with Ed's pirate group and fired a round of salvos from the opposite side.

   But after a day of fighting, all the enemies who fought against the Haiyu Pirates were in various conditions. On the other hand, except for a few unlucky ones who fell into the water, they were unscathed.

  Combined with the witch's prophecy, the morale of the sea fish pirate group has almost reached its peak. They believe that they are blessed by the sea god, and under the leadership of Paul, they can travel across the world and be invincible.

  …

  When Duge kidnapped He Ya.

  Ed and Drizzt's fleet are confronting Antonio.

  Heard Island is an important stronghold between the East China Sea and the South China Sea. It is related to the supply of many pirates and is also an economic pillar of Mahamadu and Safra. Therefore, it must not fall into the hands of the navy.

  They were waiting for reinforcements from Mahamadu and Safra to attack Antonio's navy from behind.

  The inside should cooperate with the outside, and finally lift the blockade of Heard Island.

so.

  Even if Ed knew that Witch He Ya had been kidnapped, he couldn't spare himself to deal with Duge.

but.

  He didn't take it to heart either.

after all,

  Antonio blocked the route, and the idiot who kidnapped the witch couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

  And he believed that the scattered pirates on Heard Island would send the witch back for him, but one piece of information about the sea fish pirate group was sent to Ed, and he was finally dumbfounded.

  …

   "Fish Age?"

   "Paul turned out to be a witch too, divining for everyone who came to him."

   "Mahamadou coerced He Ya, and the matter of secretly collecting the chart of fate was leaked..."

  …

"Damn Paul, how dare he spread the news about Mahamadou? Mahamadou will kill me if he knows about it." Under the moonlight, Ed's eyes were bloodshot, angry on the deck He came back to his senses and said to the first mate, "Brown, you take five ships tomorrow to kill Paul and his **** sea fish pirate group and get the witch back. I want everyone to know, sea fish It doesn't give them any luck, it just brings them bad luck."

   "Captain, if I take five ships away, Antonio will definitely take the opportunity to attack." Chief Officer Brown said, "If Heard Island is lost, our responsibility is even greater."

   "Then what do you think we should do? We are fighting here and watching that guy make trouble behind us?" Ed said coldly.

"Captain, the mission of the witch He Ya is to help Mahamadu find the chart of fate." The first mate was silent for a moment, and said, "Now, all the clues about the Poseidon scepter have been leaked, and the witch actually has nothing left. It is necessary."

   "What are you trying to say?" Ed asked.

"As far as I know, Paul already has a reward of 80,000 gold coins. If we add another 20,000 gold coins to him, someone will definitely take the risk and help us kill Paul and the witch. That bounty hunter named Dark Hand should be Interested in Paul." The first mate shrugged and said, "As for Mahamadu, the incident has already happened, we were not on the island at the time, so he wouldn't blame us for this incident!"

"This is the only way to do it." Ed took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He looked at the first mate and ordered, "You find someone to go back to Heard Island overnight and issue a reward for Paul. Mobilize all Heard The pirate ship from Tokushima participated in the battle with Antonio. I have a hunch that Antonio will launch a general attack in the next two days, and we have to hold on until the reinforcements arrive."

  …

   the next day.

  Ed's reward for Paul and the mobilization order for pirates were issued at the same time.

  The pirates of the Fish Age who were touched by Dug had personally experienced the protection of Goddess Luck of the Paul Pirates, and they were indifferent to the bounty offered about Paul.

  However, they enthusiastically joined the team against Antonio.

  These people came to Heard Island to find clues to the Sea God's Scepter, and now they have a new mission—to find Selma and make a deal with her.

   Naturally, he was unwilling to be trapped here all the time.

   Then, breaking through Antonio's blockade became inevitable.

  Every pirate who changed his name firmly believed that after changing his name, Lady Luck would accompany them.

  The pirates who had changed their names but had not been touched by Doug happily discussed how to take Paul's head in exchange for a bounty.

after all.

  Compared to the illusory chart of fate and Selma, Paul's head is really worth 100,000 gold coins, and it's placed there, looking like it's easy to get.

  They believed that Paul's luck was brought by sea fish.

  Nowadays everyone has the name of sea fish, so luck is divided equally.

at this time.

   It depends on whose shells are more accurate and whose knives are sharper.

  …

  Safra's Admiral Drizzt confronted Antonio's navy at the other end of the route, and he also knew what happened on Heard Island.

but.

   He's not interested in the witch and the Happy Paul thing.

  After the pirates on Heard Island are released, the clues to the Sea God's Scepter will become an open secret. Safra only needs to offer a reward for the chart of fate, regardless of whether there are witches or not.

   As for the chart in Mahamadu's hand, that is something Safra needs to worry about.

   Maybe.

  The king of the world does not want the Sea God Scepter to appear.

  After the fall of Poseidon, the entire ocean is ruled by the king of the four seas. Who wants to have a new Poseidon holding a Poseidon scepter on his head?

  In Drizzt's view, Thelma's request for a child with a lot of money is more urgent.

after all.

  The wealth collected by Selma over the years is enough to create a new sea king, and the man who gets Selma's wealth will truly threaten the status of the king of the world.

  …

exactly.

   It was Doug who started the war.

  Ed is waiting for Mahamadu's reinforcements and the pirates behind him to assemble, while Antonio is waiting for Admiral Mikaro's order, as well as the movements of Mahamadu and Safra.

  Navy encirclement and suppression are generally coordinated by other departments of the navy.

otherwise.

  Once he gives the order to attack, Mahamadou's people attack from behind, and it is easy to turn the active attack into a passive attack from both sides...

   No general allowed such a thing to happen.

result.

  When the two sides were confronting each other, Duge's five pirate ships broke into their central sea area singing and dancing in a defiant posture.

  On the deck of every ship, there are a group of sailors in pink skirts dancing strange dances in various situations...

  The pink skull flag fluttered in the wind, as if mocking the opposing sides.

  On the constantly adjusted sails, there are a few lines written in bold fonts:

  …

   "Why don't we dance together?"

   "Here is a moving 100,000 gold coin"

   "You can see me, but you can never catch me."

   "Antonio's **** is red..."

  “In the great age of fish, the goddess of luck protects everyone with fish in their name.”
