Above a certain sea area of ​​the Atlantic Ocean.

A large fleet of organized troops is coming from north to south, riding the wind and waves.

These battleships and frigates of various sizes all have flags representing the Royal British Fleet.

And this fleet is set off from London and is about to go to the Royal British Fleet, which is about to read the pardon order, Nassau!

Of course, this is just one of the squadrons.

Even so, as the maritime overlord of this era, the strength of this squadron is extremely amazing:

A second-class battleship with ninety artillery is the flagship of the fleet; nine third-class battleships with seventy-four artillery are the main force of the entire fleet.

Twenty frigates were also cruising on the periphery of these ten main battleships.

Such a powerful squadron can be said to be the entire naval force that the British had on hand for dispatch except for the fleets arranged in colonies around the world!

This shows how much the British hate these pirates who dare to steal food from their mouths...

Of course, such a powerful fleet is definitely not just to read the pardon order from thousands of miles away.

This is an invisible deterrent!

If the pirates in Nassau do not accept the pardon order, this huge fleet that is enough to destroy a small country will block the entire Nassau and completely destroy the pirate republic in front of him with a thunderous force!

And hang all the pirates!!

"Of course, if everything goes well, the fleet's many artillery will not need to fire a shell..."

At the stern of the second-class battleship "Bristol", Woods Rogers, who had just been appointed as the governor of the Bahamas by King George of England, thought so in his heart.

The salty sea breeze blew over his face, and he looked around and felt the full sense of security protected by many warships.

Rogers believed even more that when those pirates saw such a huge fleet, if their minds were not soaked in the sea, they would choose to accept the pardon order.

Just as he was thinking with confidence in how to manage the Bahamas in the future, a man wearing a blue and white naval uniform and gray-haired beard came to him:

"Governor Rogers, as I said, firing a gun and blowing up the place full of greedy bed bugs is the real solution to the problem."

Rogers, who was called back to reality when he heard the voice in his ears, frowned slightly, and then returned to his original state.

He turned around slowly, Rogers' expression turned solemn, and the scars and tone on his left face were all strangers:

"Brother General Chamberlain, after we arrive at the pirate's nest in Nassau, I hope you can calm your temper. Remember, we are messengers now, not executioners!"

"At least until the pirates make a decision, not..."

"I understand what you mean. I just think that such a method is a waste of time. If you accept those gangsters and bastards, your reputation will only be corrupted, and your Majesty's desire to kill them is greater than anything else."

"That's right. But the king's method has been proven to be useless at all, isn't it? If the method of destroying pirates is effective, I wouldn't be here, too. You are. Brigadier General..."

Hearing Rogers's words so arrogantly, Brigadier General Chamberlain frowned and whispered: "Please pay attention to your words, Governor! You have the status today because of His Majesty the King."

"I have my sensibility, which is why Congress recommends me, His Majesty the noble king, chose me."

Facing Rogers' serious expression and the hideous scar on his left cheek, Brigadier General Chamberlain had to give in for a while: "Governor General, as the commander of the fleet, I'm just giving you some advice."

"It's OK to make suggestions. But, Brigadier General Chamberlain, I will reiterate that I am the governor appointed in the name of the king, and I am the one who makes the decisions. Do you understand?!"

"I see…"

However, just as the two of them had their own thoughts, they didn't know that the pirates far away in Nassau had already made their choice...

At this time, the navigator's shout interrupted the two of them:

"There are sails! The left side of the side is the black flag!!"

Upon hearing this, Rogers and Chamberlain looked at each other, and then spoke in unison:

"telescope!"

The adjutant behind him immediately presented the monocular telescope.

The two immediately came to the port side, pulled open the telescope, and looked towards the sea.

What caught my eye was a black flag with a skull painted!

Immediately afterwards, several brig sailboats appeared on the sea surface to the left of the fleet.

"It's a pirate!"

After discovering this huge British fleet, these two-brig sailboats immediately turned the bow and dispersed in different directions.

Seeing this, Chamberlain, who was on the Bristol, couldn't help but sneer, "Any pirate, seeing such a huge fleet, will flee in panic. Even if the infamous pirate leader arrives in person, it is no exception..."

However, when Rogers saw this scene, he frowned and felt something was wrong.

He had brief contact with Rorschach in Havana and knew him better than Chamberlain.

Especially in the past six months, the prosperity and development of the Pirate Republic is enough to prove the wisdom and means of this pirate leader.

In order to deal with Nassau, the largest pirate nest in the Caribbean, Rogers collected a lot of intelligence on the situation in the Pirate Republic through the Knights Templar's intelligence network.

However, the more he knows the entire Pirate Republic, the more he is shocked and admired by what Rorschach, the pirate leader, did.

This young man in the East is decisive and decisive in his work, and obviously has clear ideas.

If you think that Honigold will prevent the development of the Pirate Republic, you will join forces with other captains to overthrow it; if you think that reform can make Nassau stronger, then you will implement reform...

And it turns out that all his decisions so far are correct!

Order your subordinates to escape after hearing the news?

This is definitely not something that man would do!

The subsequent development also confirmed Rogers' conjecture.

The two brig sailboats that had just turned around and left, suddenly turned the bow again, and then did nothing, but followed the fleet far away.

Even if Chamberlain ordered several frigates to deal with these two tails.

However, due to its speed disadvantage, it is impossible to catch up with these slimmer pirate ships.

When the frigate catches up, it immediately turns around and runs away; if it stops chasing, it will follow slowly.

Until this time, not only Rogers, but even the arrogant Chamberlain realized the seriousness of the matter.

Obviously, these two pirate ships hanging behind the tail of the fleet are nothing more than pirate reconnaissance teams.
Chapter completed!
