Chapter 732 look at him so greedy
Chapter 732 Look at his greedy appearance
Just when Zhao Fubo easily gained the "friendship" between the two European monarchs and became his most determined ally, an alarm came from the ship. As the general who Pu Jinshu emphasized to Zhao Fubo, Zhang Qing was naturally the commander of a squadron in the naval fleet. As for Matt, although he was younger than Zhang Qing, he was the commander of the entire fleet at this moment.
"Sir, Commander Matt sent a signal that Crete is not far away, and that the most lively place for slave trade in the entire Mediterranean. At the same time, we have also heard that many pirate ships will focus on the bay west of Heraklion and sell slaves they robbed from all over the country on the market."
When Zhao Fubo heard about the pirates, he became a little greedy. Just think about it, how can you make money in this world the fastest way? If you have enough force, you will probably be the first to grab it, and then the second is probably to sell arms. But if you grab it directly, it belongs to the so-called Republic of Venice, and it is no matter how ally Louis IX is, and it is a little wrong if you grab it yourself.
However, if the pirates are robbed, no one will speak for them. As for the pirates' revenge, Zhao Fubo is afraid that they will not take revenge, otherwise there will be so many slaves! Moreover, these guys are all powerful men at the sea and will be good people in the future. It would be a waste to be a pirate!
Zhao Fubo raised his eyebrows, and was about to turn his thoughts into orders, suddenly a Chinese voice came from the side.
"Look, have you seen it? Look at him so greedy! I said he was just a robber, and I bet he was going to steal the pirates, do you believe it?"
Someone guessed his thoughts, what fun is there to say about Zhao Fubo? He turned his head and glared at Xiao Hongyan who had just spoken. He didn't understand. How could she be a lady as God gave her such a good bag?
Shi Xuerong, who heard Xiao Hongyan's speech, naturally agreed. She seemed to be very interested in "stripping the dragon skin" her junior sister. This is what Zhao Fubo had a headache about. However, the battle was about to come, so he naturally threw these things aside.
"You two majesties, I wonder if you are interested in fighting a battle with us. Oh, two queens, please don't have to worry at all. Our battle is absolutely safe. I just think you two majesties don't know if you are interested in practicing living targets!"
Louis IX and Conrad IV were somewhat embarrassed when they faced Zhao Fubo's invitation. Because the Republic of Venice had some relationship with their respective kingdoms. Judging from Zhao Fubo's appearance, he naturally fell in love with something and wanted to grab a group of them. If he really stole Crete, it would be a bit embarrassing for them.
"Well, this..."
"Don't worry, we're just going to fight to eliminate pirates, which is the first good thing I've done for the Europeans."
Zhao Fubo explained it with a big sting, as if he was the savior of Europeans. When he explained it clearly, Louis IX and Conrad IV understood what he was doing when he was so-called "living targets". Of course, he could not hesitate anymore, otherwise he would probably seem too refuted to Zhao Fubo's face.
"This...of course, as a monarch who cares about civilians, it is our duty to eliminate pirates without a stalemate!"
"Just as His Majesty ordered, I am willing to do this good thing with you!"
When Conrad IV heard Louis IX's reaction, he immediately made a promise. Since they agreed, the preparations for the battle quickly unfolded. Those who were originally practicing guns took small boats to board the warships. Zhao Fubo did not bring more people to deal with the pirates, but only brought his 500 imperial guards, allocated them to 10 warships.
As for other ships, they naturally went directly to the port of Heraklion. This is the Aegean Sea, Crete, and it is also the place where human civilization began earlier. Although Zhao Fubo was not going to stop for too long, he could not help but have the interests of Shi Xuerong and other girls, so he had to visit the ancient sites appropriately before he could complete it.
The bay on the west side of Heraklion is where many pirates stay, and it is also where Zhao Fubo and his friends plan to clear them. Many pirate ships are hidden in the blue-black background of the cliffs. If it weren't for the lookout hand on the mast on the Zhao Fubo warship, the telescope they were holding had a considerable multiple, and it would be not easy to catch these guys' whereabouts.
Zhao Fubo raised his telescope and saw at least 20 ships. It is estimated that all of them are pirates, even if the civilians are cleared and released in the future. However, it seems that these ships are in groups of two or three, or they are all alone, and they have no chance to fight a large-scale naval battle.
"Matt, 10 warships operate alone, let's see which one catches the most pirate ship!"
The 10 "Qinhuang-apm" class warships were immediately dispersed with Zhao Fubo's orders. If they looked down from the sky, they would be like two big hands with all their fingers pounced on them with greed. Compared with other warships from various countries, the pirates were flexible and good at fighting.
They either pulled a group of three or two ships, or fled to the Aegean Sea alone. However, facing a super-era warship like the "Qinhuang-apm" class, escaping is not a solution. Naturally, fighting against the "Flying Swallow II" type crossbow cannon is not a solution. The only correct one is to surrender.
The human-powered drive system was run with all efforts by the people in the bottom cabin, and 10 "Qinhuang-apm" warships rushed towards their targets. At this time, the pirates found that almost no one chased the ships that fled alone, but the three or five groups of ships were targets they would never miss.
But it was too late to separate now, so the pirates had to take out their bows, load ammunition on the ship's giant crossbow and stone thrower, and prepare for a desperate battle. However, when the naval battle had just begun for only five minutes, most pirates understood that they were doomed.
The shells dragging the tongue of fire were like swordfish chasing the blue whale. The bright arc gave people a strange and sharp feeling. The pirates who had never seen the shell were surprised, staring at their different eyes, and staring at the shells that were getting closer and closer.
No one hides because no pirate knows what those things are for. At least these things that can fly over 200 meters are definitely not stone bullets on stone throwers. If they weren't for those bullets, how powerful would they be? Can they also be like stone bullets, digging a big hole in the ship?
It’s not a piracy that these pirates have experienced hundreds of years after all!
