Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: Should I take the blame for others’ wealth?

There are a lot of supplies on the warship, including medical supplies, which can be used to bandage the wounds of injured pirates.

As a navigator, Lily was temporarily in charge of the logistics supplies, and the statistics had already been made.

Lily, Ajin, and Palu were standing in the captain's room. Lily sorted out the supplies she had counted and said, "Based on the supplies in the warship, we can still sail for about a week."

The 23rd branch is not far from Campas, so the material consumption is not much, and it all goes to Sager.

"A week?"

Sager nodded and looked at Ajin, "Are there any towns like Campas nearby?"

He still doesn't give up.

Now that we have come across a big economic town, the next target should naturally be of equal size.

"some."

Ajin said: "Ward Town and Maniro Town, these two towns, one is a big wooden town, and the other is rich in minerals, both are big towns that are not inferior to Campas Town."

Lily spread out the map and found the locations of two towns. She said, "One is in the east and the other is in the north. Ward Town is the closest. We can arrive there tomorrow morning."

"Okay! Let's go to Ward Town first!"

Sager pressed the cigarette butt hard into the ashtray, took another sip of wine, stood up and walked outside.

On the deck, some pirates were painting black on the canvas, while the rest were resting there, chatting from time to time.

"Young ones!"

Sager clenched his fists and shouted loudly, causing all the pirates to look over here.

"It doesn't matter if we lose once. We will be able to rob money in the next town. Everyone cheer up. We will definitely achieve our goal. Now, let's have a party!"

"Oh!!" the pirates shouted loudly.

If there is no money, then we must provide enough benefits.

Use half of the supplies to hold a banquet to maintain the morale of the pirates.

We will arrive tomorrow anyway, so there is no need to be too stingy. If it really doesn't work, we can just replenish supplies along the way.

The pirates carried the supplies from the cabin over, and those who had some cooking skills went to the kitchen to busy themselves. Barrels of rum were brought up, and no matter if they were injured or not, they all took wooden cups and started drinking.

There is naturally no strict management for pirates. They make a lot of noise and shout, and spend their entire lives either robbing or on their way to rob. This is the daily life of most pirates.

Sager looked at the lively scene of the pirates below, curled his lips, and thought of something. He turned to Lily and repeated, "You can't drink alcohol, but juice is fine."

Although Lily had no intention of joining in, she couldn't help but defend herself after hearing what Sager said repeatedly: "I'm sixteen."

"What's wrong with sixteen? Sixteen is the first year of high school. Oh."

Sager was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said, "I'm sixteen now, an adult."

The standards of adulthood in this world are different. Men are 18 and women are 16. Logically, Lily is already an adult.

But Sager always felt awkward. He thought about it and said, "Anyway, drink less."

Lily shook her head. "I prefer organizing nautical charts to attending banquets."

There are a relatively complete number of nautical charts in the warship, as well as a large map of the East China Sea. As long as they compare them, they will not get lost.

It is the navigator's duty to remember all the nautical charts in mind so that he can make decisions in case of emergencies.

Boom!

Boom! Boom!

On the sea, three warships were chasing a black-sailed warship, continuously firing shells, which hit the waters near the black-sailed warship, exploding into balls of water and causing the warship to shake violently.

Whoosh!

Bang!

A cannonball came straight at the ship and was caught by Palu, who was standing at the stern, with his round shield. It exploded on the shield, and the violent impact made him stagger and fall to the ground. He quickly stood up and laughed at the pursuing warship:

"Cannons are useless to me! I am the invincible iron wall Palu!"

He can really withstand the cannon.

"Turn left 90 degrees, the wind is strongest over there!"

Lily gave orders loudly on the deck, and then ran to the back of the deck and looked at Sager, who was on the warship. "Sager, the speed is the same, we can't get away."

Sager looked at the shells that were fired again, stepped on the air, kicked the shells back, and it exploded on the mast of the warship, starting a ball of fire.

"Lan Jiao!"

Two light blue slashes rushed towards the other two warships at a high speed, cutting off the masts of the warships and forcing them to stop.

This action also caused cheers from the pirates.

Captain Sager is indeed the strongest!

Sager landed on the deck, without any expression and in a very calm mood.

It's okay, it's just bad luck, I'm used to it.

Compared to other fruitless careers, at least he got a warship as a pirate and had food and drink, which was already pretty good.

Getting rich is just a matter of time.

They arrived at Ward Town the next day. Sager got up early in the morning, thinking about robbing something, no matter if it was gold, jewelry or Bailey, he would see the money first, and then... As expected, something unexpected happened.

The town was destroyed as well!

The signs of destruction were no different from those of Campas Town, with half of the town missing.

Ward Town is a town rich in trees. There are a lot of islands with trees in the sea, but the wood of this town is still very famous. Their wood is not easy to be eaten by insects, and if it is made using special methods, it will be guaranteed not to rot for a long time.

The shipbuilding industry in most parts of the East China Sea needs their wood. Among them there is a precious tree that takes thirty years to grow into a tree. This tree will never be infested by insects and is much stronger than other trees.

Such a precious tree, once fully grown, would naturally be sought after by shipbuilders throughout the East China Sea, but it was snatched away.

Looking at the devastated town, Sager thought he was unlucky and had no intention of robbing anymore. He asked his men to take away some supplies, but they were caught up by the warships not long after they left.

The reason why the warships kept chasing them was simple, the pirates who robbed the town were just like them, they just had black sails and no iconic pirate flag.

Sager didn't have a pirate flag because he hadn't thought about it yet, but what would the robbers do without a pirate flag?

The navy thought they had robbed Ward Town and kept chasing them.

This is what happened just now.

Sager returned to the captain's room and said to Lily who came rushing over, "How long will it take to reach Maniro Town?"

"Two days." Lily said, "How about changing the location? We won't be operating in the waters under the jurisdiction of Branch 23 anymore."

"There's another town! I don't believe it!"

Sager said without giving up: "It's not like we won't be able to grab anything!"

He also has a Maniro Town.

There are three major economic towns. Can't he grab a penny?

As long as he doesn't give up, he will always be able to grab the money!

A prosperous town is either a natural harbor or a major transportation hub with a lot of trade, or it has great local specialties.

Campas produces canvas, Wardtown produces wood, and Maniro Town is rich in minerals. The bolts and hinges of ships, the materials for cannons and other accessories all require the raw materials of this town.

When Sager arrived, the town was destroyed as well, as Sager expected.

There is a precious piece of iron in Maniruo Town. The material made from it is durable and wear-resistant, and has great toughness. If it is used to make a cannon, it will not explode.

So, the same ships with black sails and the same men in black robes destroyed the town and stole the precious iron.

And this time. Sager was chased by five warships.

"Black Sail Pirates! Surrender now or we will sink you!"

Among the pursuing warships, a voice coming from a loud speaker was transmitted into the black-sailed warship.

"Rain Kicks!!"

Immediately afterwards, the black-sailed warships launched a large number of light blue slashes, cutting off the masts of the warships. One of the warships was even cut into a huge gap, and half of it sank into the sea on the spot.

This time, Sager's face was terribly gloomy.

"damn it!"

Sager gritted his teeth and said, "They are taking the money, so I have to take the blame, right? That's not right in the world. Even if the king wants me to take the blame, I will die! Stop taking the money, find the person!"

It doesn't matter if he is chased by the navy, it is natural for pirates to be chased. The key point is that he didn't rob anything, just got some supplies. It's really not worth it to be chased by warships continuously like this.

Sager was feeling very anxious.

He must find the person, otherwise he will not be able to swallow this anger!
