In the middle of the night, to be precise, in the early morning, the Venus star overlooked the sea of ​​silence, and only a dim star wafted in the depths of the sea.

　　 The settlement time after the war was unexpectedly long.

In this battle, Lorraine used 19 ships directly under the General Chamber of Commerce to lure 16 Blackbeards in the Caribbean Sea, which is the most threatening to the direct fleet, and then involved the "local" pirates headed by Bonnet, and the Skull Bay United Fleet. 31 ships.

　　 The two sides were divided into five battle groups in the narrow waters off Basseterre Island for more than 4 hours. In the end, with Valkyrie's uncontroversial victory over Queen Anne's Vengeance, the direct fleet won the final victory.

　　 This victory can only be called a narrow victory.

The immediate fleet suffered huge damage. One sinking Brig, two Brigating, Galenic Arvey, Grey, and two Brig and Brigating, respectively. 261 personnel were killed in battle and seriously injured were determined to be disabled.

Shareholder of the General Chamber of Commerce, first deputy admiral of the immediate fleet, and first deputy of the flagship, Catalina Debo, dying; shareholder of the General Chamber of Commerce, directly affiliated fleet charge captain, flagship charge captain and first sailor Leif Eriksson Dying.

　　 Of course, the harvest is huge.

The direct fleet sank two Galen-type destroyers in this battle, four Brigentin-type destroyers, and three Skuner-type destroyers. Prisoners of war were changed to the Golden Yoke of the Maritime Fortress, the Bagh-type Lieutenant Mi, and the other five Brigentine. , Two Skuna-type ships, killing pirates is not counted, taking 1013 people, including 442 people belonging to Blackbeard, and 277 people in total.

　　 These pirates will be handed over to the Barbados government along with Derrick’s clever pirate group, where they will be tried, but their fate will not be the same.

In accordance with the colonial government’s consistent tolerant style of pirates, Lorraine estimated that the clever pirate group who committed the murder in Barbados would all be hanged. Among the pirates of Blackbeard and Skull Bay, the 106 people who had a red in the UK would certainly not escape. He died, but most of the rest will be pardoned after the trial, and a piece of land will be given out and become a farmer in Barbados.

　　 There is nothing wrong with this result.

　　 At this point in the pirate war, Drake's white flag pirate flag has been erected in the Caribbean Green Forest.

　　 He no longer needs to set up for himself to support a pirate slaughter like he did at the beginning. At this stage, the better choice is to use both grace and power, and use false hope to dispel the will of the pirates in the future battles.

　　 This large-scale battle, which is only similar to the war of association, is a very suitable start.

On the one hand, Drake’s attitude does not require deliberate propaganda to let most of the pirates in the Caribbean know about life. On the other hand, the kindness of the fake colonial government will not make the allies who form associations confused for a while. Lorraine's position produced wrong judgments.

　　 "If there are a few more people who recruit security, the effect of publicity will be better?"

　　 Lorraine leaned against the guardrail thinking.

　　 The sea in the middle of the night is beautiful, with light and soft waves beating against the hull of the ship, and moonlight foil like broken silver flows on the top of the wave.

　　 The cabin door of the stern building opened behind him, and Daniel, with a tired face, took off his mask and walked out, his face covered with rubber dents.

　　 "The treatment is over?" Lorraine turned around and asked.

　　 "I barely finished the emergency means."

　　 "How about Katerina and Leif?"

　　 "You can survive without accident." Daniel said, "The premise is to move to land with better medical conditions as soon as possible."

　　 "Do you have any suggestions?"

　　 "Fort de France." Daniel picked up the bottle from the deck and squeezed it against the mouth of the bottle. "Brandy?"

　　 "Francian Manneck's grape brandy is just an ordinary commodity, far inferior to the Cognac region."

"I can't taste it." Daniel shrugged and put the bottle back on the deck. "Fort-de-France in Martinique is the center of the French Caribbean. There are noble families everywhere. The medical conditions there are no worse than Kingston, and most of them can be found in the market. Medicine, and closer to us."

　　 Lorraine thought about it: "The Windward Islands office is located in Fort-de-France. It shouldn't be a problem to temporarily arrange a high-standard hospital."

　　 Daniel was taken aback: "The Windward Islands office is in Fort-de-France? Not in Bridgetown?"

"Chuck's arrangement." Lorraine raised his cup to respect the direction of New York. "It seems that it was because he had received a transaction tax concession at that time, and Bridgeton was unwilling to provide considerable conditions, so he was caught by Chuck. give up."

　　 "It's worthy of being a family member of a high-ranking navy officer. This is the most patriotic choice I've heard..."

　　 "I always think you are pointing at Sang Huai." Lorraine rolled his eyes at Daniel, "Then Mr. Doctor, can I visit my patient?"

　　 "You are the captain, you have the final say on the boat."

　　……

　　 Not long after, Lorraine and Daniel came to the temporary high-level ward together.

　　The ward used to be Daniel's ship doctor's room. There are two inside and outside. The outside is an alchemy research room called a wizard's castle by the sailors. The patient can lie in the inside. Daniel usually lives there.

Unlike Lorraine’s imagination, the Wizard’s Castle was unexpectedly clean, especially the various written materials, but it was not piled up full. Only the desk, the bookcase and the corner of the cabin, probably stacked up to one person. .

　　 Seeing Lorraine Yi's appearance, Daniel was a little confused.

　　 He said irritably, "If you are looking for a tong pot with colorful smoke, sorry, you should go to the witch's room to find it."

　　 "Noya doesn't play with those dangerous things..." Lorraine narrowed his mouth, "I thought you were busy deciphering."

"If it is deciphered, it was done last year." Daniel pointed to the three beautifully decorated cowhide handwritings on the table. "This year is mainly for notes, so as not to misread specific nouns when needed~lightnovelpub.net~ is another accident. .

　　 Lorraine walked over and opened the handwritten note, and saw the dense and beautiful handwriting on it: "Are there any gains?"

　　 "There is nothing substantive. I mean this information probably allows us to successfully complete the expedition, but first, we have to know where the fountain of youth is."

　　 Lorraine tilted his head: "So we still need the assistance of the Pirate Emperor?"

　　Daniel nodded vigorously: "Twenty-two tokens, we only have five in our hands, which is far from completing the puzzle."

　　 He was talking about rumors related to Morgan Treasure. Legend has it that Captain Morgan hid a huge amount of wealth in the Fountain of Ages, and divided the chart of the Fountain of Ages into twenty-two parts, as a token of the pirate kings.

but……

　　 "With the current five tokens, we don't even know what the pattern on the map is, only that it is completely different from a normal chart."

　　 "Combined with Morgan, there are descendants alive, but the pirates have never made the idea of ​​the last token. I am more inclined that Morgan's rumors are false, and it is the conspiracy of the Brotherhood of the Sea to rule the pirates."

　　 "If you want to judge whether it is a conspiracy, you have to find more tokens and come back."

　　 "A standard war mad speech." Lorraine sighed and closed the codex. "Daniel, war is a monster that eats human life. It is not something a good doctor should consider."

　　 "I have my own reasons for ignoring human life." Daniel looked at Lorraine coldly, "Aren't you going to visit the doctor? Come with me."
