Ragsar stared at the lights on the dark sea in front of him, his eyes filled with endless greed.
Ever since the damned Kingdom of Ruhr announced that they would build Nissi City and turn it into the largest and most prosperous port city in the south of the Sines, the pirates near the Kingdom of Ruhr's waters didn't have an easy time.
In order to ensure the peace around Nissi City, the Rudson Kingdom's first and second fleet had gone crazy over the past two months. They would go out to patrol the seas when they had nothing to do and would attack pirates when they saw them, not showing any mercy.
In the past, the pirates could rely on their flexibility to play hide and seek with the regular fleets of the Kingdom of Ruhr, but now the Kingdom of Ruhr's first and second fleets were constantly patrolling the waters near Nissi City. The pirates didn't have any space to live and could only stay far away from Nissi City.
According to the information obtained from other pirates, even the largest pirate king in this area, Soth Kag, had been captured and imprisoned by the First Fleet.
Nissi City's city lord Milito Count was also exposed and was also imprisoned. It was said that he would be executed in two months.
This caused all the pirates near Nissi City and even the pirates in the Kingdom of Ruhr's waters to panic. The timid ones even directly escaped from the Kingdom of Ruhr's waters.
As for those like Ragsar who weren't willing to leave the Kingdom of Ruhr, they entered the deep sea and came to an island that he had discovered a long time ago as a base, waiting for an opportunity to act.
However, with the current standard of navigation in the Sines, whether it was commercial ships or ordinary fishing boats, they could only sail near the sea. Very few people would come to the deep sea.
Adding on the fact that Nissi City had been strictly controlling the nearby seas, the nearby seas were unprecedentedly safe. All the commercial ships and fishing boats would only choose to sail near the coastline.
Therefore, after Ragsar led his subordinates back to the deep sea pirate base, in the past two months, they hadn't done a single 'business'.
Being a pirate was a profession that lived on the edge of a blade. They had always lived one day at a time, so they didn't have any savings on hand.
Even though Ragsar was the leader of the Thunderbolt Pirates and had some foresight, building a base on this island in the deep sea and storing some supplies there in case of emergencies, after two months of not having any 'business', these supplies seemed to be a bit lacking.
If it wasn't for a subordinate who had followed his orders to search the nearby waters three days ago and reported seeing a huge fleet, Ragsar might have rushed into the waters near Nissi City at the risk of being caught.
Now that he personally saw three incomparably large ships that were like fierce beasts, Ragsar's heart was filled with shock, but he was also filled with joy.
These three large ships, they must have a large amount of goods.
If he could snatch all the goods from these three ships, he would be rich!
"Bo … … Boss … …" An assistant standing beside Ragsar suddenly spoke.
"Hm?
What is it? "
Ragsar was currently focused on the three large ships that were getting closer and closer. He was praising them while drooling, but hearing this, he impatiently replied.
"Boss, these ….. These three ships are so big ….. Are we really going to make a move?"
Ragsar knit his brows and turned to see his subordinate's uneasy face. He cursed and reprimanded, "Nonsense!
If we don't make a move, are we going to let our brothers starve?
It's not like you don't know the situation on the island. We won't be able to last more than a few days.
Instead of going to Nissi City to fight those brats from the first and second fleets, it's better to steal some goods here. "
"But ….. These three ships are so big, I feel like ….. it won't be easy."
"Bullshit!" Ragsar slapped his subordinate's head.
"Is this your first day as a pirate?
No matter how big the ships are, they still need people to control them.
In a bit, we'll charge onto the ships and kill everyone we see. Do you think we won't be able to control these ships? "
"But ….. But these three ships are so big, there should be a lot of people on them ….." The subordinate was still uneasy.
"What are these rookies afraid of!
When have they not obediently surrendered when they see us?
If there's no other way, we'll just kill a few more. "
Ragsar waved his hand and gave a cold snort. He turned to look at the three ships and couldn't help licking his lips.
"You don't say, even if these three ships don't have any goods, just by taking these three ships, we'll be rich ….."
Seeing Ragsar's expression, the subordinate endured it. In the end, he only sighed in his heart and didn't continue to persuade him.
As Ragsar's subordinate, he was very clear on the situation of the Thunderbolt Pirates.
If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't hold on, Ragsar wouldn't have chosen to take such a risk.
However, compared to entering Nissi City's waters and fighting with the Kingdom of Ruhr's first or second fleet and then being crushed, the risk of stealing these three ships was much lower.
In the end, no matter how big these three ships were, they were only merchant ships from what they had observed over the past few days. This was because the sailors didn't even have any visible weapons on them.
"Hei, they came to our Kingdom of Ruhr's waters and still dared to be so careless. They're simply delivering themselves to us."
Thinking of this, the subordinate's heart calmed down. He tightened his grip on the steel blade in his right hand and looked at the three ships in the distance.
These rookies!
They still dared to light themselves up in the middle of the night, this was simply telling others to come steal them.
Hei, hei, this uncle won't be a guest …..
Just as a smile appeared on the deputy's face, he suddenly saw a few spots of light blue light on the nearest huge ship, and then quickly flew over.
In the blink of an eye, these lights were right in front of him.
"What the hell is this?"
While Ragsar and his subordinate were in a daze, they saw these lights fall into the dark sea in front of them.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom ~ ~"
Violent and muffled explosions rang out. The calm sea at night was instantly blown up into monstrous waves.
Ragsar and his assistant, as well as the several dozen pirates on the same ship, could only watch as the giant wave crashed down, sending the wooden ship flying into the sky.
While it was still in the air, the wooden ship had already been smashed into a pile of wood by the huge waves.
Ragsar and his subordinate only felt a sweet taste in their throats. They spat out a mouthful of blood from the huge impact. Then their vision turned black and they lost consciousness.
###
After an unknown amount of time, Ragsar was awakened by a dazzling light coming from outside his eyelids.
His dizzy head made him daze for a while before he finally reacted. He barely opened his eyes and saw a blue sky and white clouds.
"Awake?" An emotionless voice sounded from the side.
Ragsar turned his head and saw a middle aged man with a small beard and a dark face. He looked like a middle aged man who lived on the sea all day.
Turning his head to look around, he realized that he was on a huge deck. There were pillars and railings made of fine iron everywhere.
Feeling his body slightly rise and fall, Ragsar could easily tell that he was still on the surface of the sea.
With such a large deck, apart from those three giant steel monster ships, it was impossible for it to be any other ship.
"Then this means that I was caught by these fellows?"
Ragsar looked down at the rope holding him up. He turned his head and frowned as he asked the middle aged man in a cold voice, "Why did you save me?"
He already remembered what happened last night.
They wanted to attack the three giant ships, but before they could even get close, they were shot into the sky by the unknown things released by the three ships.
The entire process was short and simple. He didn't even understand what had happened before he fainted from the explosion.
"Because you're still useful." Narvil looked down at Ragsar and nodded in satisfaction.
This pirate leader's mind was not bad, it seemed like there was no problem getting the information he wanted from him.
"Useful?" Ragsar looked at Narvil with a confused look.
These guys have three huge ships, and they even have such terrifying weapons. What's the point of keeping me alive?
"Right." Narvil laughed and pulled out a chair to sit beside Ragsar.
"Hey, you're called Ragsar, right?
I heard you're the leader of the Thunderbolt Pirates? "
Ragsar coldly snorted, knowing that this group of people had definitely saved more than just him. They had probably already heard about his confidence from the other pirates.
"It's me, what about it?"
Narvil didn't care about Ragsar's attitude as he patted his shoulder with a smile.
He didn't know if it was intentional or not, but this slap landed on the wound on Ragsar's shoulder, making him frown from the pain.
"I heard that your Thunderbolt Pirates made a small island nearby as a base?" Narvil then asked.
Since the other side had already gotten the information from his companions, Ragsar didn't feel like doing any meaningless concealment.
"That's right.
I made a small island, are you interested? "
"Of course." Narvil laughed.
"Since this small island can be used as a base, there should be something we want on it.
How about it?
Ragsar, are you interested in cooperating with us? "
"Cooperation?" Ragsar looked at Narvil in shock.
Was this person crazy?
He caught a pirate like him and didn't throw him into the sea to feed the fish like the other merchants. He also didn't send him to the pass, but he wanted to cooperate with him?
With a pirate like him who had nothing ….. what was there to cooperate with?
