The 194th Chapter Flame God (3)

After more than three months of treasure hunting and relaxation, the Intrepid finally returned to Port Royal again today, back to the place where it started.

At that evening three months ago, when they set off, there was only one Dreadnought, but now, when they came back, there were two more warships. Moreover, they went on an expedition this time, and the harvest was huge!

Three full ships were loaded with all kinds of gold and silver treasures. If it was normal, these huge wealth, in the past, at least it took the whole of Europe to plunder the New World for several years to get together!

In order to hold these wealth, the shells and gunpowder in the ammunition depots on their three ships have basically been discarded, and even the artillery on the Dreadnought has been thrown into the sea a lot.

In addition to these treasures, there is also a large group of legendary marine magical creatures who have surrendered - mermaids!

However, at this moment, they did not come out of the sea, but continued to lurk in the sea water under the fleet, slowly following the ships.

These are not the biggest rewards of Little Annie's adventures this time. If you look at the size alone, at the rear of the fleet, on the stern of the Spanish warship at the stern of the crane, a huge ship was dragged by thick cables. The octopus, and this big guy, is the "biggest" harvest they got from this adventure!

This giant octopus was the one summoned by Davy Jones' Flying Dutchman to attack Little Anne's fleet on its return voyage!

Well, Davy Jones must have played a trick!

You know, what little Annie is best at is dealing with some big guys!

Think about it, when little Annie was two years old, she had caught a huge shadow bear, which is now Tibbers the bear!

(Can we stop bringing this up? - Tibbers)

We all know that Annie's bear, Tibbers, is going to be gigantic when he's released! Moreover, this is not the original form of Tibbers, this is because it is bound by the teddy bear's enchanted skin, if the skin is torn off, it can become even bigger!

There are many monsters that are more ferocious than this sea monster, such as those giant dragons. You know, there are already two giant dragons that died directly or indirectly under Little Annie's hands! The dragon-slaying buffs on Little Anne and Tibbers have already been stacked twice!

Therefore, the sea monster summoned by Davy Jones only has physical attacks, and even ordinary cannons can hurt it. It is really not a dish!

What could it have done in the morning, except to scare the sailors for a while, and nearly break up a Spanish man-of-war?

Originally, when little Annie saw such a big sea monster, she wanted to capture it alive and control it, but who would have thought that although this monster looks big and ferocious, its IQ does not seem to be very high, too It was difficult to communicate, so, in her anger, she accidentally beat it to death on purpose!

No, at this moment, it is being tied to the last boat with its two huge tentacles bound by two thick cables, and is being dragged in the sea.

Such a big guy, maybe everyone in Port Royal today will be lucky? A tentacle monster that is bigger than the largest whale in the ocean, surely no one has eaten it?

Just wondering, how would Davy Jones feel when he learned his pet was eaten?

Port Royal is getting closer and closer, and the outlines of the huge islands and ports in the distance can already be seen with the naked eye. Therefore, the crew of the Intrepid, as long as they are not working, gather on the deck or the bow, looking at the distant Jamaica's islands begin to emerge from the sea.

According to their current speed, it will take another half a quarter of an hour to complete this final journey. Presumably, they should be able to enter the port smoothly before dusk.

This is still because the Intrepid is dragging two unpowered Spanish warships behind it, and the last huge octopus that landed in the sea,

Otherwise, they will only go faster!

"Did we come to the wrong place? Why do I feel that Port Royal seems a little different?"

Jack Sparrow was standing on the bow of the Intrepid, with his eagle-eye binoculars, and had a good view of Port Royal's harbor.

However, what he couldn't figure out was: Where is the unloading square behind the port, what happened to the army with clear flags and bright armor? Also, what happened to the golden flags flying above the city wall and the castle? Could it be that after they left, Port Royal was occupied by some other powerful force?

Even those witches who can set fire, have they been driven away by others?

"let me see."

His ordinary telescope was not very clear, so Norrington snatched Jack Sparrow's telescope and carefully observed Port Royal in the distance.

"That's right, that's Port Royal! It's just..."

For the rest, Norrington sighed in his heart, and didn't say any more.

Not only did he recognize Charlotte in golden armor from Jack Sparrow's binoculars just now, but he also spotted Governor Swan standing among the welcoming crowd.

From this point of view, those witches, they have completely mastered Port Royal, right?

Just now, he didn't find any soldiers wearing red British uniforms in the binoculars. From this point of view, those witches must no longer need them, right?

Those armies in armor may be the new army of witches, but the speed is too fast, right? In just over three months, an army can be formed? They still look very strict in military discipline. Could it be that witches are all so magical?

"..."

However, these are just some small things, already in his expectation, not too unexpected.

But what worried him the most was: What happened to the rows of huge warships docked at the military zone pier in Port Royal? Why are they docked there?

If he read correctly just now, those warships seem to be the fleet deployed by the British Empire in the Caribbean Sea? He also roughly counted the number just now, there are nearly thirty ships?

That must be the Caribbean Fleet, right? Why are they here in Port Royal, Witches? Captured by a witch? Also, what about the rest of the fleet? Is it sinking? Or burned by a witch? Or, was it a lucky escape?

And which idiot commander sent them to attack Port Royal?

well……

He sighed helplessly in his heart, and Norrington was in a very complicated mood at this time.

Even he didn't expect that in just three months, the strength of the witches would expand to such a degree! ?

He and Governor Swan, I am afraid, have become sinners of the British Empire now, right?

Where is the way for the two of them? What should he do?

Thinking of this, Norrington's face darkened.

It seems that it is time to make a plan for yourself! Otherwise, once they really want to return to the British mainland, there may be no other choice for the two of them except for the cold gallows.

"Aha! What a majestic city! And, a mighty army!"

Barbossa also took the telescope from Norrington and looked at it for a while, then he suddenly spoke.

"Respected Your Excellency Witch Anne, I don't know, does your power lack an experienced admiral? I, Hector Barbosa, will serve you wholeheartedly!"

Barbossa's sudden defection surprised everyone.

Except for Norrington, who thought the same thing, Jack Sparrow was puzzled. Didn't this Barbossa keep yelling before, that after returning to Port Royal and gaining freedom, he would directly drive away the Black Pearl?

"Huh? Don't ask me this kind of thing! Go away, it stinks!"

Little Annie rolled her eyes at the pirate leader, and waved him impatiently to get away.

Now she can see the distant scene clearly without a telescope. Therefore, she naturally also saw the current situation of Port Royal and the witches and the troops who were waiting in line to welcome her in the Port Square.

Tibbers... Has anything funny happened to Port Royal during this time?

(It's nothing, that girl named Charlotte seems to be more ambitious than your fire demon servant Shane Knox, she is now ready to attack the entire Caribbean Sea and the surrounding New World! —— Forced to sign a contract Tibbers, who lent his strength to the other party, of course knew what that chick was doing, as long as it was still in this world, everything the other party did could not escape its surveillance!

There is another important thing that Tibbers didn't say, that is: After the other party wins the New World, they are going to counterattack the whole of Europe and even the whole world.

This time, the reason why the other party was able to know that Little Anne's fleet was coming back at this time was, of course, that Tibbers secretly sent a message to that Charlotte chick to remind her. )

oh……

Annie felt as if she had accidentally saved a remarkable person back then!

That sister Charlotte looks so capable, look, it's only been three months since we separated, and I almost don't recognize her! It seems that she has completely occupied Port Royal now? Moreover, it seems that many witches and armies have been developed?

It's just that little Annie doesn't care much about things like occupying territory and fighting wars.

You have to know that little Annie was the queen of the Flame Kingdom with tens of millions of fire elements and the cute leader of the Flame Alliance united by several big forces!

In the world of Azeroth, she had had enough of fighting and conquering cities. At that time, she had commanded the 300,000 troops of the Flame Alliance to conquer the undead natural disaster!

But now, here on the earth, she doesn't want to pay attention to this kind of little drama like playing house!

"Barbossa, are you crazy?"

Jack Sparrow was a little puzzled when he saw Barbossa suddenly profess his allegiance to the witch Anne. Taking refuge in a witch, where is the freedom of being a pirate?

If he hadn't been missed by Davy Jones now, and he didn't dare to go out to sea casually without the protection of the witch, he would find a chance to cheat a good boat, and then continue to go out to sea!

He Jack Sparrow is a pirate king! He grew up by the sea and loves waves!

"Hmph...that's right, I'm crazy!"

Barbossa glanced at Jack with a strange smile, and didn't explain much.

"He's not crazy, but he's smart! You'd better look at the military port."

Norrington shook his head too, throwing the binoculars to Jack Sparrow.

After seeing Barbosa's statement, he suddenly felt a little disheartened. Perhaps, should he also express his loyalty to the witch earlier? Then, change to a better future?

It's just that there is always a hurdle in his heart that he can't get over.

People like them in the navy, after being defeated and captured, worked for witches as a price for freedom, which is very reasonable!

However, if he turned his head around and changed flags immediately when he saw that the witch was powerful, he always felt that this seemed to be a disservice to his own honor and belief all the time, as well as his pride as a brigadier general in the Royal Navy of the British Empire?

But...if he doesn't do this, after leaving the witch, the only thing waiting for him is a dead end...

This situation put him in a dilemma. Maybe, after entering Port Royal, he needs to have a good talk with Governor Swan? Learn more about the specific situation and analyze the pros and cons before making a decision?

"Barbossa, I think, you are really mean!"

After Norrington's reminder, Jack Sparrow also saw the signs.

"Aha, I almost forgot! Back then, you stole my Black Pearl because you provoked a rebellion! It's normal to be able to do such a thing now!"

Jack Sparrow put away his precious binoculars, and he finally discovered the clue just now, knowing why Barbossa was eager to show his loyalty and surrendered to the witch willingly.

It turns out that there are nearly thirty huge warships moored in the military zone of Port Royal? Moreover, it seems that most of them are battleships? Depending on the situation, the British Caribbean fleet is completely finished?

With so many ships, let alone Barbossa, even Jack Sparrow himself is jealous!

So, is he going to show his loyalty as soon as possible?

Anyway, he himself is also hired by the witch now, maybe he can get ten or eight ships and organize a Jack Sparrow fleet? That's all battleships!

If there are so many ships, can the entire Caribbean Sea go sideways in the future?

Perhaps the title of Captain Jack Sparrow should be changed? How about... the great Jack Sparrow fleet commander? Or, the famous Sparrow fleet commander?

"I'm sorry, I have to correct you again! The Black Pearl, it already belongs to me! This is personally agreed by Lady Witch Anne!"

Barbossa refuted Jack Sparrow with disdain. Now that it's come to this point, he's still thinking about playing the Black Pearl?

"Bastard! That's my black pearl! Sparrow's black pearl!"

The black pearl is the symbol of Jack Sparrow, and it has always been a scar in his heart, and he will not let it go so easily.

"Oh? Really? I don't think so!"

Barbossa stared mercilessly at Jack standing in front of him, and the monkey on his shoulders also started jumping up and down, grinning and screaming, cheering for his master.

"..."

Norrington looked at the two quarreling pirate chiefs amusedly, and continued to argue over an inconspicuous pirate ship. This kind of situation has happened many times during the long time at sea, and he is no longer surprised by it.

"Attention everyone! Prepare to slow down, we are starting to enter the port!"

After the fleet gradually approached Port Royal, Norrington left the bow and walked to the deck to greet the sailors to get busy. The cables connecting the two Spanish warships behind also needed to be untied quickly.

Now, they are getting closer and closer to Port Royal, and as the captain of the Intrepid, of course he needs to direct the crew to work. Now their speed is a bit fast, if they don't reduce the sail and speed, they will probably collide I went to the trestle bridge.

Finally, under the guidance of a small boat, the Intrepid slowly approached a stone pier. Soon, several soldiers carried a luxurious ladder and buckled it on the edge of the Intrepid. , so that the people above can walk down calmly.

"Ah! You are... Sister Charlotte?"

The two twin sisters, Cecilia and Christina, who followed Anne, looked in surprise at Charlotte in golden armor and the group of armored knights behind her.

The two sisters almost don't recognize each other now!

"Welcome to my lord!"

Charlotte nodded to the twin sisters, but did not answer them. Instead, she went straight forward, half-kneeled on one knee in front of little Annie, lowered her head and said loudly.

"Congratulations, my lord!!"

The more than a hundred witches behind Charlotte, as well as Kolia Beaufort and Mary Chaska, also knelt down on one knee at the same time.

"Congratulations, Lord Master!!!"

At the same time, the other soldiers and knights standing guard also knelt down on half knees and shouted loudly.

The sudden sound of the huge formation scared Jack Sparrow, who had just walked on the ladder, and almost fell into the sea. Fortunately, Brigadier General Norrington who was behind him gave him a hand, so that he could not let go. He made a fool of himself in public.

It's just that his pirate hat has fallen into the sea now!

"Ah? Thank you for your kindness!"

After standing still, he collected himself, turned around and thanked Norrington once in a while.

"I knew it would be like this!"

Little Annie helplessly stretched out her hand to support her forehead, and sure enough, it was just as she had guessed before.

This sister Charlotte, she actually made such a big fight! Now, the matter of the witch seems to be developing in a direction that she can't even imagine!

When did she become the leader of Laoshizi?

Her little bear Tibbers, what else is she hiding from her? What else did you not tell yourself? Even if she never asked these questions, wouldn't it take the initiative to tell herself when she was free?

Anne has never liked that kind of life that follows the rules. Anyway, she is just at the age of being playful and active.

If she really wanted to enshrine her like a goddess, she wouldn't be happy! In her opinion, this is not fun at all!

 …

"Hey! Did you see that? They were actually welcoming the little girl?"

In the distance, the citizens huddled together to watch, finally discovered that the witches of the Vulcan Cult were welcoming a little girl, which made the crew and sailors who didn't know the truth feel a little puzzled.

After seeing Annie get into the carriage, and the witch, knight and soldiers left behind, the citizens began to speculate and discuss.

Many of them don't know the identity of that little girl, why is it worth these witches to come here to welcome them? This kind of formation, even if the opponent is a king, I'm afraid it's nothing more than that, right?

"You don't know? Don't you guys come from Port Royal?"

Hearing the discussions of these people next to him, a local employee of Port Royal couldn't help but become curious.

After all, the news that Little Anne made a big fuss in the execution ground, directly swaying the defenders and occupying Port Royal has already been spread here.

In Port Royal, it is estimated that there is no one who does not know, right? And now, the few people around him, they don't even know about it? That's definitely not a local!

"Of course not! We are sailors who came with the merchant ship! Brother, do you know that? But tell us about it?"

A crew member who didn't know the truth came over and handed over a flagon in a fawning manner.

"Oh? Then... just talk about it! Anyway, I can't do it now!"

Seeing that it was beneficial, the hired worker quickly put down the sack on his shoulders, sat down on a pile of cargo boxes, and began to tell the sailors vividly.

"Tsk tsk, let me tell you, which little girl, she is amazing! This matter, we have to start talking about it three months ago! Back then..."

...

"Wow! Look! There are so many gold and silver treasures!!"

The witches' convoy had just left for a while, and a large group of soldiers rushed towards the pier, and they even brought a dozen freight carriages?

Then, under the shocked eyes of countless people, countless gold and silver treasures were slowly loaded and unloaded from a battleship by sailors, and the carriages were quickly filled with carts.

There were even a lot of boxes of gold coins that rolled down from the carriage. Those carts of gold, silver, jewelry and gold coins rolled all over the ground almost blinded the eyes of the onlookers.

They started to commotion one by one. If it weren't for the fact that there are still many witches and soldiers intimidating them, I'm afraid someone would have already taken the lead to loot them regardless.

What surprised the onlookers the most was that the dozens of large and small carriages had to go back and forth several times before barely pulling away all the gold and silver treasures on the three ships.

What kind of treasure did they find? Or, they robbed the treasury of a certain country? Otherwise, how could there be so much money?

The onlookers once again began to discuss loudly, eager to go up and grab one.

"These witches are really rich! It seems that we can make a lot of gold coins from them, what do you think, old man?"

The alcoholic captain was still holding a wine bottle, which he had now emptied, and that was Old Billy's Twenty Years Reserve.

"Come on, get out of here quickly, don't be an eyesore on my boat! Don't think I don't know what you're up to, I warn you: if you step into the door of my captain's cabin again, I'll never end with you !"

Old Billy roared and pushed forward, he planned to drive the old bastard off the boat completely, if he was here, the treasures in his wine cabinet would suffer sooner or later!

"You really let me down! As for being so stingy?"

Being chased away, there was really no other way, the old drunkard planned to retreat, anyway, he had already drank two bottles just now, and made a profit!

"Wait, don't push... what is that? Oh! My God!"

The old drunk suddenly screamed, and even the empty wine bottle was thrown on the deck by him.

"What god? The witches here don't believe in any god! Get down quickly! This..."

Old Billy continued to push his old friend, and when he subconsciously turned his head to look over, he was too shocked to drive away the old bastard.

The people of Port Royal saw something that shocked them again today.

In addition to the gold, silver and jewelry that pulled more than a hundred wagons, those witches, they even dragged back an extremely huge octopus?

Watching those soldiers shouting the chant and driving hundreds of coolies away, with the joint efforts of the winch and manpower, Qiqi pulled two thick cables and slowly pulled a huge octopus out of the sea. Towed to the shallows.

The body of that octopus is as high as the mast of a sailboat? As for the tentacles, three adult men can hug them together?

People could only stare blankly at the huge monster in front of them. They never expected that these witches would be so tough that even the legendary Norwegian sea monster would be captured by them?

So, above the entire sea, is there any existence that can stop them?

"Sister Mary... this big octopus, what should we do?"

Kolia Beaufort looked at the big octopus in front of her, and she only felt that her calves were shaking.

If she didn't know that it was actually dead, she might have run away by now? A huge monster of this size, even if it is dead, can give people huge psychological pressure!

"I don't know either……"

Mary also shook her head with a blank expression, she was also a little troubled.

How did she know how to deal with this kind of thing? Before their sister Charlotte left, she didn't explain much. Could it be that she should go back for advice again?

"Excuse me, two priests, is there anything that your subordinates can help with?"

After commanding the coolies, it took a lot of effort to finally drag the big octopus to the shallows. Charlie Herbert, who saw the two witches in trouble, walked over with great interest.

"Oh! It's you! That's great! How about this, now I'll leave this big octopus to you, you can figure it out!"

Ke Liya and Mary, who didn't know what to do, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Charlie approaching, and hurriedly got on their horses and left after explaining the task impatiently.

"Okay, my lord, I am happy to serve you!"

After watching the two girls leave, Charlie turned around and walked up to the big octopus.

He pondered for a while, and then raised his leg and kicked the tentacles of the big octopus. These tentacles have begun to become a little stiff now. If they are not dealt with sooner, in this hot climate, once they rot, they will die. A big trouble!

If one is not handled well, it will be a disaster!

He can now imagine that as long as it is left here, within a few days, the rotten octopus carcass, the disgusting smell, can at least permeate the entire Port Royal for several miles!

"Hurry up, find some people, cut off the best tentacles, and then send them to the military camp, the Witch Academy, and the Governor's Mansion in batches! Then, you can take as much as you can, and the rest, Let the citizens take it at will! Before dark, we must deal with it!"

Charlie thought for a while, and finally thought of a more reliable way.

After all, the octopus is so big that the military and municipal officials alone cannot consume it all! Moreover, it is also very difficult to preserve, so just give it to the citizens to enjoy at will, and save yourself from worrying about it!

"Head, are you really letting the citizens take it casually? Isn't that good?"

A subordinate seemed to be a little uncertain and asked, he felt that it was a pity.

"If you can eat it all by yourself, or if there is any way to process it, then it's yours!"

Charlie glanced at the other party with dissatisfaction, this idiot, why is he so stupid? This thing will go bad after a day or two, so what can he do?

"Ah? No, no, no! That's what you said, I'll do it right now!"

Today is the happiest and most delicious day for the citizens of Port Royal. Not only has their knowledge increased, but the dinner that night has also become extraordinarily sumptuous!

Because, almost every household of them received a large portion of octopus meat from the port! That weight weighs more than ten pounds! It is said that this octopus was caught by the witches from the sea when they returned to the voyage, and they couldn't deal with it, so they gave it to all the citizens of Port Royal for free!

As a result, the citizens who had benefited began to sing praises to the witches for the first time.

Since the witches occupied this place, there have been more merchant ships coming and going, their income has also increased, and life has improved day by day.

And now, there is actually free octopus meat to receive. They are definitely the first people in the world to eat such a big octopus!

"..."

After Norrington disembarked, he did not leave the pier with the witch's team, but walked to the military area of ​​the port alone. Here, he watched in a daze as the warships of the former Caribbean Sea Fleet launched stay.

"Your Excellency Brigadier General!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes behind Norrington, and a cavalryman who hid his whole body behind the armor rode up behind him.

"I'm no longer a brigadier general, you... are you?"

Norrington turned around suspiciously when he heard someone behind him calling him.

Then, all he saw was a man in iron armor turning over from a similarly armored war horse, which made him a little puzzled as to who this armored knight was.

"It's me, Your Excellency Brigadier General!"

After dismounting, the knight quickly took off his iron helmet so that Norrington could recognize him.

"Gloves? Are you..."

It turned out to be his former adjutant. Seeing the other party's current state, Norrington had a faint guess in his heart.

"Your Excellency, Brigadier General! I am now the head of the first regiment of the Guardian Knights under the command of the Flame God Sect! Currently, I am temporarily in charge of five hundred knights!"

Groves still politely saluted Norrington, after all, the other party was once his immediate supervisor.

"Have you decided?"

Norrington looked at the other person's appearance and nodded, which was also expected by him.

After all, people go to high places, and water flows to low places. For these low-level officers and soldiers, taking refuge in the current witch forces is obviously a better way out for them, and he can't blame them too much.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Brigadier General!"

Groves looked at Norrington, hesitated to speak, as if he had something to say, but didn't know how to say it.

"Oh! Are you trying to persuade me?"

Seeing the appearance of his subordinates, Norrington certainly knew what he wanted to do, so he couldn't help laughing at himself.

"Your Excellency, Brigadier General, it's time to make a decision! With your previous status, identity, and ability! As long as you join us, you will definitely have a place in the flame empire in the future!"

Since joining the power of the witches, Groves has a sufficient understanding of the terrifying development and strength of the witches, and has also made some estimates of High Priest Charlotte's plan.

Today, what he did was not instructed by anyone, it was just his own will.

Since joining the witches' forces, Groves has already gained enough understanding of their abilities, and coupled with the fact that the entire Caribbean fleet was wiped out before, he has decided to follow the witches all the way to the dark!

In Groves' view, as long as there are witches on his side and those extraordinary powers, then all enemies will be vulnerable!

So, when he saw his old chief come to the military area alone, he quickly took the time to come over and become a lobbyist.

If you don't hurry to join in now, in the future, after the flame empire that the witches are still planning is fully developed, there will be no such good opportunity as now!

"Is it the Flame Empire?"

Norrington pondered for a while, even he didn't expect that the hearts of these witches are so big? They still want to build an empire?

If another person said that, Norrington would definitely think that the other person was out of his mind! Then, give the opponent two slaps?

But... If it's these witches, I'm afraid it's really possible!

During these three months, he had been in contact with the three witches for so long, and he already had a sufficient understanding of the power of witches.

They, in this world, are simply invincible!

And with the witch's army, will the war still be lost? If the army can't beat it, then the witch will go...

As long as there are enough people, it's not just a matter of time before they win the entire New World?

According to the current development momentum of witches, Norrington conservatively estimates that within one to two years at most, as long as they don't kill themselves, by then, the entire New World will be in the pocket of their flame gods, right?

"Okay, I already know, you go back first, I want to be quiet now..."

Thinking of these, Norrington finally made a decision.

Now, those who stayed in front of him had no other choice. Going back to the mainland of England would definitely be a dead end! And if you stay, no matter how bad you are, you can still become a founding general? Maybe...you can mix with a big noble or something? For example, the founding Grand Duke?

But...he still wants to talk to Governor Swan and his fiancée Elizabeth first, and he needs to ask for their opinions.

Until this time, Norrington didn't know that Wetherby Swan, the former governor of Port Royal, had been cheated and sold by his precious daughter. Even if he wanted to return to his native land, he would not dare to go back now. Bar?

Because, his daughter, Elizabeth, has joined the witches' flame god cult without authorization, and has begun to learn their witchcraft. Now, she is completely a member of the witches. How about Wetherby Swan? Maybe dare to go back?

Tomorrow the Caribbean roll is over, I am too lazy to score chapters, now I will go directly to the 10,000-word chapter
