Power and Empire Chapter 3091: Aden Battle Cloud (1)

At the bright noon, the heavy bows of the imperial fleet began to stir the sea, like a cold white line pushing the waves, approaching the island ahead, which is the nest of Yola, the pirate of Aden, Long Island

Long Island is located on the outskirts of Longchang, which is already regarded as the central waters of Central and Biya. In addition, Central and Biya do not have a navy, so the exploration of the open sea is even more lacking

Many islands are not on the naval map. Even the charts obtained by the Imperial Navy from Central and Biyadh do not have this Long Island in front of them. Only part of the coastal fishermen has a legend about an overseas fairy mountain. , That overseas fairy mountain can wander around in the sea, and only those who are truly destined can have the opportunity to climb it.

For the legend of this fairy mountain, with some fishermen who occasionally return from the sea, it seems more real. Every year, people go out to find them, but most of them go back home and some are missing. They are all considered missing at sea. In fact, these People may have found Long Island, but this so-called fairy mountain, there are no immortals, but a stronghold of pirates,

The location of Long Island has always been there, just because it is located in the huge red coral reef group, and the water vapor evaporates all the year round, the fog formed to block the island,

At the beginning, the pirate king Yola instigated slaves to rob the Aden naval ships, and then boldly attacked the Aden naval port. The navy of the Kingdom of Aden issued the highest reward ever. Any Aden navy only needs to find Yola, They can be put to death on the spot. If someone can report Yola’s lair, he will be awarded a big prize from the Navy of the Kingdom of Aden.

But the effects that can be achieved are very few. Yola’s sea ships are like shadows. They can always appear mysteriously and disappear mysteriously, leaving the angry gaze of the Aden Navy behind, even if the fastest sailing warship is dispatched. Then, they often lose their target after the opponent turns into a thick fog. The Aden Navy never thought that Yola’s lair was not in the South China Sea, but in the huge coral coke group outside the central Longchang. The reason why Yola was able to encourage the slaves to **** the naval ship of Aden was because the ship was swept by the monsoon and floated to Long Island. This secret ocean route from the sea off Longchang to the southern coast was discovered invisibly by Yola. ,

As long as following the trajectory of the monsoon, Yola has 80% confidence to ensure that his fleet will not be discovered back and forth between the central waters and the southern waters,

Every time the Yola pirates appeared, the Aden Navy and the Imperial Navy always felt a headache, because Yola not only robbed the Aden merchants, but also harassed the coastline of the southern mountainous regions of Central and Bahia. Fortunately, the southern mountainous people were sturdy. The custom of gathering in groups does not allow the Yola pirates to take too much advantage. Therefore, the Yola pirates are generally not close to the southern coast, and the losses are not great, but the Aden side is different. Although the empire The war with the Aden navy, but there are no restrictions on the Aden merchant ships, as long as the other side pays the tolls, but the Yola pirates don’t care so much. They often kill the entire ship in order to avoid them. Encountered by the mysterious Yola pirates, the merchants in Aden had to surrender to Yola and directly send people to contact Yola and submit protection fees to him. This is how the Yola pirates’ contact point at the port appeared.

This time, I also received news from the contact point. Upon learning that it was the special envoy of the Grand Elder, Yola deliberately put out the six most powerful sailing ships of Aden under his command.

On the one hand, I want to show my strength to the other party, on the other hand, I also have a bit of speculation.

If Elder Arungar really looks at him this time, then he is really going to develop. Thinking of this, even a murderous pirate king like Yola can’t bear the smile from the corner of his mouth. After all, like the great elder, there are only five in the entire Aden Kingdom. The great elders are not power controllers. They represent the Red Dragon Palace. Just like the agreement hundreds of years ago, the Red Dragon Palace does not interfere with Aden. The royal power, but the royal power also gives the Red Dragon Temple its due respect. This is the result of the compromise between the royal power and the theocracy. As the great elder of the Red Dragon Temple in Eastern affairs, Agleon has already spent enough time in Central and Bahia. For more than ten years,

For all Adenites in the East, Elder Agleon is their spiritual sustenance,

Tayora can treat the Navy of Aden as nothing, but he never dared to ignore Elder Aglan, because don’t watch the more than 1,000 people under his command bend their heads to him, but if Elder Aglan sends a word, I am afraid that more than half of people will take up weapons to slash themselves. Fortunately, Elder Aglen does not care about the affairs of the kingdom, otherwise he, the pirate king of the Central and Bahia waters, would have traveled as far as possible.

Because the Grand Elder Aglenn holds a power that is enough to make all pirates heart-stirring, that is, the right of regional recommendation,

The great elder of the Red Dragon Temple has the power to recommend to the Kingdom once every three years. This is the tribute of the secular king to the Red Dragon Temple, and the person recommended by the Red Dragon Temple, regardless of their status, Any status will be made a noble by the royal family of Aden, but it can only be inherited for two generations, and then it will be revoked by the royal family

Just so, it is already a miracle for the other classes of Aden who are not aristocrats. Even if it is two generations, it is still a few decades. It is enough to change a lot of things, and I feel most embarrassed by this. Of course, the heart is undoubtedly the wealthy businessmen in Aden. These are a group of people who have enough wealth but are still humbled like a dog in front of the nobles

In the highly hierarchical Kingdom of Aden, even the wealthy merchants of the rich and inferior country, their status is actually very humble, just higher than the domestic slaves, or in other words, they are high-class domestic slaves, no matter how much money they have, they are in real power. In front of the nobles, they can only kiss each other’s insteps on the ground. The wealthy beauty they have, and even their daughters and wives, can be taken away with a single finger from the Aden nobles. According to the Code of the Kingdom of Aden, merchants The wealth of the aristocracy is the product grown on the land of the nobles, so the nobles have the right to take it away, just like those lowly peasants farming. Since it is harvested from the land of the nobles, it should be handed over to the nobles.

The reason why the Aden businessmen in Central and Biyah obeyed the words of the elder Agle was because they could get rid of the humble merchant status in one fell swoop and truly become an Adenian as long as they can get the recommendation of the elder Agle. The nobles of the kingdom, who have crossed countless generations of hard work, dreamed of crossing the hurdles like the sky,

Yola still remembers that the last time Elder Aglan recommended a businessman from the Duke of Braque’s family, one of the three major families in Aden, this businessman won a large amount of wealth for the Braque’s family and was These families are regarded as cash cows, and now they are separated from the Braque family, which can be said to have caused heavy losses to the Braque family

Lost a businessman or it’s nothing, but losing all the income from commerce in Central and Bahia is another matter. Gaining wealth by recommending a businessman is also known to everyone in the Palace of Red Dragon. Secretly, some of the money secretly given to the Red Dragon Temple in order to obtain the recommendation of the Great Elder has reached a rather terrible figure, one and a half million gold, which was provided by the merchant to the Red Dragon Temple. The amount also allowed this businessman to stand out from a group of competitors, and eventually became a real Aden nobleman. The Duke of Bulaque’s family was miserable, because the development of commercial roads in the Central and Bahia region was completely unreasonable. It was beaten down by this businessman, and now the merchant is recommended as a nobleman by the Red Dragon Palace. Those business lines that have been stabilized immediately become the Red Dragon Palace’s industry

But tradition is tradition. Even with the status of the Dukes of Braque’s family, they can only hold their noses to endure, and they also sent people to participate in the ceremony where the merchant was sealed, which can be said to be enough for the Red Dragon. The face of the temple,

And now, what Elder Arungar mentioned in the secret letter has to make Jola move.

"The Red Dragon Palace wants to form a naval force in the Central and Biya region. Although this is certainly impossible in Aden, the royal family will not allow the Red Dragon Palace to have a strong military power. The human Red Dragon Cavalry regiment is the limit that can be tolerated, and in the centuries-old history of the Kingdom of Aden, there have been four proposals to withdraw this idle Red Dragon Cavalry regiment. The temple’s fierce opposition ended,

The so-called Red Dragon Cavalry Group are actually those converted nobles recommended by the Red Dragon Temple. Although they have the status of nobles, they are not given to them by the traditional noble fief, and in order to avoid being affected by the royal family. The aristocratic system was squeezed out, so it was organized into the so-called Red Dragon Battle Banner, but this is not Aden, this is Central Biya, the area that the Aden Navy has also abandoned, the behavior of the Red Dragon Palace, the kingdom is also Powerless to stop,

The Grand Elder Agleon, who is like a master in Central and Bia, saw his fleet, and Yola felt that his ancestral grave must be smoked.

After the meeting, Yola brought her six sailing warships and approached her lair with majestic strength. The sea was very calm and there was almost no wind. This kind of weather is not a good omen in the sea. Calmness is often a sign before a storm. Yola is still sinking into an inextricable imagination. Just southwest of the sea, an imperial fleet is approaching

It is written in the record of this unexpected naval battle in later generations

"It's completely the chance of a blind cat hitting a dead mouse. The sea is always foggy. Most ships will choose to go around. But the Imperial fleet coming from the southern waters does not know this. The imperial South China Sea Squadron with a vacation mind is like an uninvited visitor, following the rules of the monsoon, and as a result, it hits one head in, and the battle broke out without both sides expecting it... ."

"Aden Naval Fleet Found Ahead"

The watchmen of the Imperial Fleet undoubtedly spotted the Yola pirate warships moving ahead. On the bows of these ships are the shape of sail warships with huge collision angles like road prefixes. The wide and square four-cornered sails can adapt to any wind direction. The spinnaker is undoubtedly explaining the identity of the other party, the fast sailing ship of Aden is undoubtedly, the imperial watchman positioned it as the regular navy of the Kingdom of Aden for the first time, six well-equipped sailing warships, what else can it be if it is not the Navy of the Kingdom of Aden !

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" Resounded through the fleet alarm bells"

"What are you doing, come to your place soon"

"Bring me up and fight right away"

The captains of the imperial sailors on the deck screamed loudly. The baffle on the side of the Dragon Tooth was quickly pulled apart. The sailors ran back and forth in a mess. The slowly rising full sails were blown by the fierce sea breeze. , Turned into a bulging ball, even the heavy armored infantry on the imperial transport warship at the rear began to line up on the deck. Bundles of crossbow arrows were moved out and fixed to the imperial heavy at the front and rear of the transport ship. The ballista began to stir the winch, and the nervous faces of the sailors looked a little pale. As a transport ship, these are the attack weapons that can be used. If the time comes when the transport ships are required to fight hand-to-hand, it will really be the last moment.

"Hurry up and push Thor out, ready!" Various orders resounded across the deck of the battleship, and countless black Thor muzzles protruded from the open baffle.

"Damn it, how did the people of Aden ran ahead of us" There was also chaos in the cannon compartment of the Thunder God. The appearance of the people of Aden was too weird. Did they encounter an ambush? This is not the South China Sea of ​​Zhongbia. You can be ambushed during a vacation, which makes people unable to live.

"How do I know, don't care about it, smash it~ IndoMTL.com~ just smash it, understand!" The impaired imperial navy, the white sails like the forest of the fleet, from Der Spiegel Passing out from the general sea, the bow of the ship severely shredded the waves and plowed the sea. The front was a touch of salty and bitter sea air in the air. The front end of the huge semi-elliptical ship looked like a semi-arc. One boat, two boats emerged from the rolling waves. . . . . The hideous bows of the densely packed imperial warships headed forward, like wolves pounced from the pale sky on the sea, because the outbreak was so sudden, coupled with all kinds of imagination and speculation, the imperial navy was completely based on a kind of The desperate state rushed up

"Assholes of Aden, come and fight to the death!"

In the stimulating sea breeze, Kasti, the commander of the Imperial Southern Squadron, stood on the bridge with red eyes scared of people, looking at the six Aden sailing warships that suddenly turned on the islands, shouting excitedly

"If I wait for the sacrifice, I will ask the commander to live." Not only that, but the deputy Amirak came up from behind and gave him a military salute. He was ready to sacrifice.

From top to bottom, the Imperial Navy believed that it was ambushed by the Adenites. The Aden Navy’s combat power was still very strong. After all, it was also the overlord of the Central and Bahia waters for many years. Although under the imperial navy’s Thor, Aden The navy’s outdated warships and outdated tactics have suffered a lot, but what is here now is not the entire force of the Imperial South China Sea Squadron, but only half of it. There are eight transport ships that barely survive the first battle. If the Aden Navy assembles to carry out a siege here, I am afraid that no more than half of the imperial warships that can leave this sea area today, and at this moment, the imperial navy is in front of it,

On the deck of the Aden Sailing Battleship, Yola screamed as if he had seen a ghost, "We have been sold, the **** Elder Arungar, sold us to the Empire!" rw
