Chapter 909 Who is the hunter?
After leaving the Poison Goose Dragon Territory, Zhang Fan Shu Yao and Xuanyuan Xing went to the Inca Empire occupied by the Spanish and met with the legendary "Cajamaca Massacre" maker, Francisco Pizarro. The devil was quite polite to the nobles from the land of civilization and enthusiastically welcomed Zhang Fan and the other two.
Zhang Fan's book demon also truly praised his immortal achievements in invading the Inca Empire, although it was very contrary to his will. Then Francisco took them to visit the temples and palaces of the Inca Empire. There, Zhang Fan and the book demon saw the monuments that the Inca Empire had not been destroyed by history. What's more rewarding is that after Zhang Fan gave some Caribbean specialty pearls to the demon king, he received the joyful Francisco's acquiescence and could take away some antiques that studied the Inca civilization!
The most important gain was that in the largest temple in the Incas, a large number of memorial knots were obtained from ancient Inca priests called "Chip". The mysterious miraculous knots were made of cotton thread, camel or alpaca wool thread. It was a set of braided fabrics composed of thousands of sub-strings strung on a main rope. This is the "epictographic text" in ancient South American civilization, which belongs to a three-dimensional writing method.
These knots have been preserved intact for thousands of years with the careful care of Inca monks. For Francisco, this is just a pile of ragged and weird ropes, and cannot be used as a sailboat cable. It is useless except for being used as ignition objects. But for the book demon, this is a treasure of knowledge!
After getting these "Cipp", the three of them bid farewell to Francesco and headed towards the Caribbean. They delayed in South America for more than ten days. When they arrived at the Port of Bolamar on Margaret Island, Aken was already on San Juan Island. Zhang Fan Shu Yao and Xuanyuan Xing learned from the eyes of the "Barbarossa" pirate group who was left in the Port of Bolamar that Aken and Caterina were actually going to rob the Spanish royal transport fleet. They were both very surprised, so they urged the bone dragon to rush to San Juan Island.
The bone dragon flew much slower than in the past, because there was an extra book demon who turned into a human, and the weight of the three people consumed a lot of spiritual power and was a little unbearable. So the road along the arc island chain of the Caribbean, flew and stopped, and the speed was not much faster than riding a sailboat. Zhang Fan missed the bomber a little.
When everyone arrived at the port of Puerto Rico, the Spanish transport fleet had already left, and the pirate groups had already been ambushed. Most of the ships had walked in the port, which seemed a little deserted. However, from the detailed information left by Aken, everyone was very careful in his actions this time, which relieved Zhang Fan a lot. So he and the book demon followed Aken's ideas and speculated on the various possibilities of this robbery to see what he could do.
In the hardcover book transformed by the Book Demon, various plundering plans are constantly deduced along the route from San Juan Island to Port-au-Prince. Because the Book Demon retains modern detailed chart materials, his grasp of the sea terrain is stronger than that of Stock.
By the way, after the Book Demon became an adult through the "Ultimate Transformation", he formed two major skill systems. One is his original "text space", which contains various abilities to crack the tactical array, as well as the "literary inquisition" formation, and the ability to retrieve the data archives of the transformed books. The other is the "Vodou" witchcraft skill system learned in the scene, which contains "Living Dead", "Vodoo Doll", and has derived witchcraft skills such as "plague technique", "divination technique", and "hypnosis technique".
Perhaps it was a habit of many years, the Book Fairy still dressed as a Western gentleman, with a black dome-wide hat on his head, a pair of monocles of glasses, and often read a hardcover book in his hand, looking very gentle. However, the Book Fairy has fallen in love with the long-barrel flintlock musket of this era, and has also developed a strong interest in fighting techniques and Western stinging swords. Perhaps he also hopes to experience the feeling of fighting with a human body.
"I always feel that this time the Spanish transport fleet gives me a feeling of conspiracy..." Shu Yao said seriously.
"Why do you feel this way?" Zhang Fan didn't quite understand.
"I just stood in the position of the Spanish fleet and thought about it, and it seemed that it was easy to draw a conclusion..." The book demon pointed to the complex south coastline of Haiti Island on the chart. "The islands and bays here can both ambush the pirate ships of the pirate group, and naturally they can ambush the warships of the Spanish fleet. If I were the commander of the Spanish Caribbean fleet, I would use bait that they could not refuse to set up an extermination operation. For the Spanish fleet, the Caribbean was too chaotic..."
"Do you think these transport ships are fake? In fact, there are no hardware products on the ship, but they are full of artillery and soldiers?" Zhang Fan took a breath. This was really terrible for Aken and Katerina.
"Of course not! The transport ships must be real. These pirate groups are eyelining all over the Atlantic. If they want to get the bait, they must use real scarce commodities. But their confidentiality work is really bad. If even we, who are far away in South America, have obtained detailed information and routes from the Spanish transport fleet, they are suspected of deliberately letting go..." Shu Yao said lightly.
"What I care about is whether Akan will know..." Zhang Fan's heart moved.
Shu Yao smiled, "This guy thought of bribing the Spanish Governor, which clearly showed that he also thought of this problem."
"That's good..." Zhang Fan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then no one in other pirate groups will know?"
"Maybe I know, but the problem is that the bait is too big..." The Book Fairy seemed a little sleepy. It seemed that he had not adapted to the biological schedule of the human body, and he thought he could stay up late to read books at will.
"It seems that who is the hunter and who is the prey is still unknown..." Zhang Fan felt a little dizzy.
…………
In the sky of the sea of Shona Island, Akan looked down from a high altitude with a telescope, and informed the Green Wings of the battle. "It seems that the 'Victor' pirate group and the 'Carthage Sunset' pirate group have really joined forces. Victor is obviously harassing and seducing the escort warships away, and only sent two fast light warships. Three Carac sailing boats are following in the distance..."
Green Wing told Katerina the notification of Akan, who admired this messaging spell and said to Green Wing: "Ask him, is there a ship following him in the 'Carthage Sunset'?"
Aken immediately replied: "There are two light three-masted ships following Victor's three Carac sailboats. I don't know if they are Carthage's warships. Even if they are not Carthage's warships, they will not be serious merchant ships. Otherwise, whoever dares to be so close to the large pirate ship is looking for death."
Katerina frowned and asked, "Have you seen a...well...somewhat strange warship? This ship has no sails..."
"No sail?" Aken was surprised. "How to drive? Could it be a paddle boat?"
"No paddles, either..." Katerina seemed to be unsure of herself.
Aken was silent. How could the ships of this era travel without sails and oars? Even ghost ships had dilapidated sails. So he asked: "Are you sure? There are neither sails nor oars?"
Katerina hesitated, "I have never seen this 'Sunset' with my own eyes. In fact, there are not many people in the Caribbean who have seen this weird warship. But according to reliable information, this warship does not have sails or oars. This is definitely not wrong. Moreover, this weird warship comes and goes without a trace, and it is likely that it will appear next to your ship's side and poke a big hole in your cabin!"
At this time, Captain Hook beside Katerina suddenly spoke: "I have seen this ship, and there are indeed no sails or oars. And when wrapped in iron sheets, the shells will bounce off when they hit it! My "Blood Lion" once competed with him. This warship would dive underwater, and it was very fast and flexible. If we hadn't jumped to his closed deck and fought with him, my "Blood Lion" would almost sank him! Such a strange ship, perhaps only Baron Shi Fan's sacred ship could withstand it." Captain Hook still had fear in his heart when he recalled the thrilling naval battle.
It is not difficult to wrap iron armor outside. In this era, Japan had similar iron armored thorn boats, and there were also turtle ships with iron armored thorns on the Korean Peninsula. However, these two types of ships are paddles and sails. The turtle ship is a closed paddle boat. Both of them can see their power systems. If the ship cannot see the power system and can also dive, it is difficult to do this era. Perhaps the paddles of this ship are underwater and cannot be seen on the water surface. This requires a high sealing requirement for the ship...
Aken narrowed his eyes and nodded, "I understand, I will pay close attention..." He also had an idea in his mind, could it be a supernatural ghost ship? But even in this 100% supernatural scene, the ship can be supernatural, but the ship's technology will not change, and it will still be a product of this era. If there is technology beyond this era, then there is only one answer, that is, the preceptor...
…………
On the sea, facing the repeated harassment of two three-masted pirate ships, Stoke was very brave under the care of Akan, but he was limited to shelling pirate ships and would never rush over to fight the platoon. He would never ignore the temptation of his opponent. He would definitely return to sail two nautical miles away from the fleet. But the other four Spanish warships could not hold back. Under the repeated harassment of these two pirate ships, an escorted light armed sailboat began to break away from the fleet and pursue...
Of course, the ship never came back. Akan, who was patrolling in the air, clearly saw two Carac sailboats following him. Just like the Nile crocodile in Africa, silently dragging his prey into the complex sea area that had been arranged long ago...
