Sheyan still had a few pounds of spare cash on him, so he decided to visit all the pubs in Tortuga port. However, he only managed to find three of the drunkard's conditions – 'Langley Lime', 'Lemon Hart' and 'Mulan Pond'. Fortunately, he managed to obtain information on two other types of alcohol. Lambs potato rum could be obtained from the British warship anchored in the port. Tortuga port castle also had a collection of Kukusba rum.
However, because of these two information, Sheyan's wallet had shrunk significantly. At this moment, Sheyan once again felt the importance of having a high charm value. This wasn't just a matter of saving money, it could also save a lot of time. Even if he had to pay a small price, he could still obtain more information ….. only, Sheyan helplessly looked at his measly charm value and shook his head. Although this value wasn't considered the lowest, but to him, it was still far from enough!
The importance of a party was also highlighted at this moment. He believed that if it was Chris's party, they would naturally select the person with the highest charm to scout for information. The person with the highest strength would be the assault team, while the person with the highest physique would be the main force. With such a clear division of labor and internal cohesion, it would undoubtedly greatly reduce the difficulty of the mission. A deeper and faster unearthing of potential.
But! Although a party was important, what Sheyan wanted was a party that could be completely under his control! If his position was in the awkward position of 'others eat meat while I drink soup', that kind of fate of being abandoned at any time was definitely not what he wanted.
After shaking his head, Sheyan forcefully tossed aside the distracting thoughts in his mind. He continued to gather information on the streets of the port, investigating the movements of the Tortuga port guards. Suddenly, the three legendary pirate ships that were anchored at the port suddenly hoisted up their skull flags! Following that, they started to fire their cannons. The sound of the cannons was very rhythmic, three long and two short. Following that, before the smoke had even dispersed, the various bugle horns sounded out. Only the Flying Dutchman used a gigantic conch shell to blow the horn.
When Sheyan heard the sound of the cannons, he was startled. He immediately thought that the pirates had formed a consensus to directly attack Tortuga port. However, he immediately rejected this suggestion in his mind. Because no matter how one looked at it, the time to attack and plunder Tortuga port was far from ripe! The pirates were originally a bunch of loose sand. It was impossible for them to form an alliance with such efficiency! If that was the case, then a contestant must have triggered some sort of large-scale emergency!
At this moment, the Bell and Mug could be seen from afar. The Bell and Mug had also started to raise its sails. Crew head one-eyed Cuaron was also on the lookout tower, vigorously blowing a buffalo horn horn horn. Although Sheyan had just joined and did not know what this signified, but immediately returning to the ship would not be wrong.
When Sheyan boarded the deck of the Bell and Mug, he received a notification from his nightmare imprint:
"Identity verification is in progress …"
"Contestant no.1018 obtained Ammand's recognition, current identity: Pirate ship Bell and Mug crew member."
[Contestant no.1018 has obtained the qualification to enter the historical scenario battlefield: The Destruction of the Paragon Fleet (Prologue). “
"Contestant no.1018, do you wish to follow the pirate ship Bell and Mug into the historical scenario battlefield: Destruction of the Paragon fleet (Prologue)? Yes/No. "
Historical scenario description: Following the arrival of the Age of Discovery, Spain relied on its navy to plunder huge amounts of wealth. At the end of the 16th century, 83% of the world's precious metals were obtained by Spain. Undoubtedly, this wealth greatly stimulated the prosperity of the country. In order to protect its maritime communications and interests abroad, Spain established a powerful maritime fleet with nearly a hundred warships, more than three thousand cannons, and tens of thousands of soldiers. This fleet swept across the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean, proudly calling itself the "Invincible Fleet".
When England rose up, it severely threatened Spain's colonial monopoly, causing the Spanish king Philip II to view it with hatred. At that time, England's naval prowess was not strong, and could not match up to Spain's naval fleet. They could only rely on pirate groups to attack and plunder Spain's gold and silver ships, carrying out piracy activities. England's Royal Navy took the opportunity to slowly expand. The conflict between the two parties could not be reconciled.
In order to fight for naval supremacy, Spain and England engaged in an intense and spectacular naval battle that attracted worldwide attention. In this naval battle, Spain obviously held the absolute advantage. Unexpectedly, this naval battle ended with Spain suffering a devastating defeat, the "Paragon Fleet" was almost completely annihilated. From then on, Spain rapidly declined, her position as the "Hegemon of the Seas" was replaced by England.
Right now, he was about to experience the historical scenario battlefield, it was the prelude to this magnificent naval battle!
Facing such a huge opportunity, Sheyan naturally didn't hesitate to click on 'Yes'. A series of notifications once again appeared.
"Historical scenario battlefield: Destruction of the Paragon Fleet (Prelude)"
"Three merchant ships that set sail from the new continent are currently sailing a hundred nautical miles away. Their cabins are piled with gold, jadeite and treasures plundered from the new continent. Due to the depth of the water, their sailing speed is extremely slow. Even the slowest pirate ship could easily catch up. "
"However, the owner of the merchant ship, Fernandez, is an incomparably astute person. When he set sail, he recognized the immense risks of the voyage, hence he spent a huge sum of money to hire four warships from the Paragon Fleet to escort him. After a long and arduous voyage, they were halfway home. Regrettably at this moment, they were discovered by a speedboat of the English Royal Navy. This news was swiftly leaked to the English Royal Navy's flagship HMS Endeavour that was anchored at Tortuga port. The HMS Endeavour swiftly relayed this news to the pirates anchored at Tortuga port. Both parties formed a temporary alliance, raising their sails to chase after the Spanish … …
At this point, it is necessary to mention the delicate relationship between the English Royal Navy and the pirates. Under normal circumstances, pirates plundering merchant ships is naturally against the law. This meant that their relationship was destined to be like a policeman against a thief. But some pirates were actually English aristocrats who had fallen from grace, and usually even possessed a 'Privateering Certificate' issued by the Queen of England. This means that as long as they did not plunder their own country's ships, then they would legally receive the protection of England. Or if they plunder their own country's ships, as long as the news did not leak out, it was fine. These pirates were usually the allies of the English Royal Navy. Furthermore, even for those pirates who did not shrink from any crime, as long as they were willing to turn over a new leaf and express their sincerity, offering a portion of their plundered wealth to the Queen of England, they would similarly be able to obtain a noble title!
With all these factors tangled together, it could be said that the English Royal Navy and the pirates were an internal conflict, both parties had room for negotiation. But the Paragon fleet was an enemy of both parties, it was an external conflict between them. Hence when the HMS Endeavour discovered that it was difficult to deal with this plump Spanish fleet, leaking this information to the pirates was a logical course of action. Both parties already knew each other inside out! In the face of huge benefits, they naturally hit it off, forming a temporary alliance and working together!
The sea breeze was strong, the sails of the Bell and Mug were filled with the wind, it swelled up and propelled the ship forward at high speed, braving the wind and waves. The hull of this medium-sized three-masted sailboat was slender and long. Together with the ram at the bow, it was like a flying fish with gray and deep blue stripes gliding at high speed. From time to time, it would break through the waves and leap out of the water, and from time to time, it would glide along the surface of the water, appearing agile and graceful.
At present, the ship was filled with a tense atmosphere, the cannoneers were constantly inspecting the loaded ammunition, they had to place the gunpowder barrels in a convenient and difficult position. One-eyed Cuaron was loudly instructing the sailors to sharpen the edges of their swords. To the Bell and Mug who focused on speed, it was obvious that the pirates' main method of attack was to engage in close quarters combat. Like the HMS Endeavour which was equipped with close to 200 cannons, they naturally used their superior firepower to bombard the enemy until they collapsed before doing anything else.
At this moment, Sheyan had instead become the focus of everyone's attention, these pirates had seen too many of the land's ferocious men shriveling up like shrimps on the rocking ship, vomiting into a mess. Most of the people were dissatisfied with his actions of killing people to establish his might, hence there were many who were laughing at him from the side. Who would have known that Sheyan was walking leisurely on the rocking deck, as though he was strolling leisurely. He even helped others to tie up the ropes of the sails, reinforcing the sides of the ship. He looked completely like a seasoned veteran of the sea.
