Chapter 110 – The Ambition of the Loach

Chapter 110: The Ambition of the Loach
On a nearby high ground, “Loach” Gaden stood there looking at the fire-lit fishing village with a smile on his face.

At this moment, a small leader ran over from the village and reported to him:
“Chief, we’ve almost looted it.”

Gaden nodded and said, “Gather all the people together, let’s retreat, attracting the Blue Streak Dogs who like to meddle in other people’s business will not be good.”

“Yes!” The young leader answered before running towards the village.

……

The establishment of the navy gave the pirates an extreme headache, especially the pirates in the waters near Alda, causing them to be wary of going ashore.

In the Alda Lord Paul Gleiman destroyed his father’s enemy shark, the other pirates thought that the Lord will stop, continue to abide by the treaty signed between the Northwest territories and the pirates, on them from time to time to shore to play a fall wind behavior to turn a blind eye.

Who thought the shark this bastard stabbed a hornet’s nest, young and impetuous lord seems to all the pirates are a piece of hate, since that day of the public trial, a message slowly spread throughout the waters: the count of Greiman to eliminate all the pirates of the Northwest Bay.

This is not bragging, Count Greiman specifically set up a navy to deal with them.

At first, because of the lack of power, the navy did not take the initiative to come out to besiege them, but the pirates still feel the pressure.

Their action in the Alda coast began to hit a nail, before the pirates will come ashore in the place where they plundered for two days of rest and recuperation, but now can not, must immediately run, otherwise the Alda Navy will smell the wind, and then hit them hard.

Pirates are not trying to come to a hard, but the other side is equipped with powerful weapons, often have not touched the other side in front of them, you hear a crackling burst of strange sound, their side fell a large number.

After that, it must be dispersed, the pirates finally understand how the shark is finished.

They had to change their strategy, and instead of staying in the looted area to rest, they turned into robbing a handful and leaving.

Gradually, however, this method also failed, and the Alda Navy sent commissioners to be stationed in the coastal villages and towns to integrate, train and command the local militia.

The original villagers spontaneously organized militia futile shape, is not a pirate opponent, but after the Navy’s training, slowly have and the pirates around the courage and ability.

In view of the long coastline and the Navy’s inability to spread its forces too thin, Austin presided over the construction of a series of coastal defense projects at the beginning of his tenure.

He gathered representatives of the coastal villages and towns in Port Fullan and presented his plans:

Each village and town should build a simple fortress that can accommodate all the local residents, and the smaller village’s should simply encircle themselves with a wooden wall, which doesn’t need to be overly strong, but the defenses on it should be able to last at least a day and a night.

Each village and town should also build a beacon along the coast, with local militia stationed there and organized patrols along the shore.

Once a suspicious ship is spotted approaching, the beacon will be lit, and when the village receives the beacon warning, they will hide in the fortress, and the militia will be ready for defense.

Then wait for the main force of the Navy to come to the aid, no matter how much the other side lures, do not go out to fight.

In September, the coastal villages and towns of the shore defense project gradually completed, and played a great role. Although after the pirates attacked, some of the property that could not be taken away in time would still be robbed, but the population was greatly reduced by the situation of captivity.

And the navy in the sight of the beacon alarm every time immediately mobilized, blocked a lot of come not yet retreated pirate gangs, ruthlessly played a few annihilation war.

As the militia’s training level gradually improved, they also learned how to judge the enemy’s strength, and were able to deal with some small pirate gangs at the right time.

Alda gradually became the Northwest Bay pirates landing prohibited area, the pirate gangs have shifted the goal to rob other territories to go.

But the fishing boats and merchant ships are still threatened by the pirates, in the land threat is basically lifted, Austin began to focus on the sea.

6 drilled paddle sailing ships began to patrol the sea to provide escort for the civilian ships, although the sailors are basically newborns, but due to the presence of muskets, grenades, they are still the pirates can not resist the existence of these small shrimps left behind by Edward only jumped gangs of physical combat ability, due to the lack of bows and arrows, ship crossbow A class of long-range weapons, were restrained to death by firearms.

At this point, Alda Navy finally became the existence of the pirates, their reputation gradually spread, and the scope of activities is more and more large, and sometimes will “cross the border” to teach a lesson to the pirates who plundered the territory next door.

However, there is a pirate gang is relatively exceptional, that is, let Austin feel some headaches “loach” Gaden gang.

……

Gaden mouth “blue dog” is precisely the Alda Navy, nicknamed from their white and blue sailor uniform, which has become the symbol of the Alda Navy.

The four pirate gangs in front of the Loach Gang, the Shark Gang and the Quake Gang were killed by the army led by Greiman himself because they were looking for their own deaths, and the other two gangs were also hit by the Alda Navy when they were coming ashore, and were greatly injured.

Only the Mud Loach gang with his caution and cunning, after a few small losses but gradually grew stronger.

Unlike those crazy dogs who only know “rob, rob, rob”, Gaden has stationed a lot of eyes on the land, these eyes are either small traders walking in various villages and towns, or local residents who have been coerced and seduced, and from time to time, through some special channels, they pass some very useful information to him, such as the strength of the defense of a certain place, the quality and quantity of the militia, whether there is a navy nearby, the quality and quantity of the militia, and whether there is a navy nearby. quality and quantity of militia, whether there are naval activities in the neighborhood, etc.

With the help of this information, the Loach Gang boldly did a few “deals” that made the Alda Navy a little bit dishonored.

Deterred by the reputation of the navy, loach gang in these several actions are just robbing things, not how to mutilate the lives of the people, pirates within a kind of saying is that the lord of Alda will be on the hands of those who do not have a human life of the pirates net a one-sided, no matter whether it’s true or not, in any case, don’t put the beam knot is too big. But for other territorial villages and towns, they are not so polite, burning and killing as usual.

The reason why Gaden in Alda became a pirate landing prohibited area also dared to do so, is to declare to the other pirates: Northwest Bay there is a pirate group can make the Gleiman can not be helped, so as to shape their own in the hearts of the pirates of the prestige.

Because his heart gradually had a never dream, or ambition – unify the pirate forces in the Northwest Gulf, become the second Edward.

At first this is just a thought, in the mind when a flash, he will laugh at himself, simply daydreaming it.

But with the strength of his own hands increased, the more he could not restrain this idea, and eventually evolved into ambition.

And not long ago with a mysterious character contact, let him to his own this ambition even more obsessive.
