The return of the first formation means that the Bloody Mary has completely lost its chance to escape.

An hour and a half later, varkiri arrived at the position 3 kilometers south of the cotton regiment.

After another 15 minutes, Katrina issued a battle order. The first formation circled from the northwest, and the whole fleet was blocked in front of the cotton regiment's route.

The 32 pound bow gun of the white pelican was the first to fire in the barrage. The shell hit between the two brigantines, and the cotton ball began to break up.

The gap between ships, the gap between fleets, the gap between command and command

At the beginning of the war, cotton Jack tried to open the way with his quantitative advantage.

17 ships were divided into two, with 5 brigantines monitoring the movement of valkiri, and 12 ships with strong firepower, including the Bloody Mary, rushed to the first formation.

Favna sent the Mistra and Guna into the center of the enemy line 200 meters apart.

The 24 pound short-range main gun of the second generation God showed great destructive power in the center of the enemy array. It was tangled for 20 points * * and wounded three pirate ships and greatly damaged one.

In contrast, cotton jack, although more shells hit two ships in the approach, it is difficult for small caliber naval guns to cause effective damage to the iron armor covered by the second generation of attendants.

Brenhild and jershikogul also squeezed up from the outer line with their staff ships, like sharks, encircling the lone enemy ships from near to far.

45 minutes after the war, the foremast of the first formation Guna was destroyed, the stern of the misstra was broken, the warship bird and Fei Hanying were broken, and brenhild and jiershikegul were damaged to varying degrees.

In terms of cotton jack, one Bagh and one brigantine were sunk, one Galen was expelled and two brigandines and one brigantine were greatly broken, with nearly half of the combat power lost.

Varkiri suddenly cut into the battlefield from the due south. The first round of full artillery attack caused major damage to the brigantin ship group opposite him, one sinking and one injury.

The cotton regiment collapsed completely, and the surviving warships fled in all directions. Fafuna sent Mistra, brenhild and the White Pelican to entangle the Bloody Mary, Jessica kogur and the oleander to pursue another ship, the Gallen in good condition.

In another 30 minutes, brenhild's chain shot hit, the Bloody Mary main mast was interrupted, and valkiri lowered the sail to the side.

At 6:17 p.m., Lorraine kicked open cotton Jack's captain's room and met the legendary pirate king who had been feuding with him since the smuggling period for the first time.

……

Cotton Jack VII, or alexandro dilabi, is a fat middle-aged man, about 170 cm tall, with large arms and round waist, thick dark brown curly hair and exaggerated beard with enough braids.

His clothes are neat and luxurious, mainly in black and blue. The edge of the color block is decorated with shiny gold thread, and there is no wrinkle in the collar corner and cuff.

This makes him look like a pirate, with round facial features and chin. He doesn't see much cruelty, but more cunning, like a shameless businessman who doesn't obey the rules.

In fact, Alessandro dilabi is indeed an excellent pirate businessman.

As the pirate king of the Caribbean, his most famous strength is not in the flagship, fleet, invincible fighting and shooting skills, but in the prosperous black port operated by him.

He should be the strangest pirate king in the post golden age except Lorraine.

At that time, the black port of Bimini Island created a new model for big pirates to sell their stolen goods. For a time, the revenue of teltuga port fell precipitously because of him, and the maritime brotherhood almost collapsed.

However, he failed to create an era in the end, because in the critical period of his transformation, World War I robbed Bimini black port.

After the fall of Bimini, Alessandro dilabi also fell into a trough for several years.

He hated Lorraine deeply and insisted on maintaining an uncompromising state of war with Drake. The cotton regiment suffered heavy losses and collapsed several times in the subsequent pirate war. From 1779 to 1780, countless young pirates wanted to step on his head and become famous.

But he survived.

In two wars of association, the maritime brotherhood fled from turtle island to Nassau. Blackbeard, who also had a deep hatred with Lorraine, won the title and became a recognized pirate leader.

At the invitation of Blackbeard, Alessandro dilabi took over the operation and management of Nassau black port. In only one year, the beach less than 20 kilometers away from Nassau min port became the new core of the Caribbean Pirate trade.

Jack, a commercial genius, was officially resurrected and changed from a destroyer of the imperial order to a famous resurgent official of pirates.

The prosperous private port of Pirates declined rapidly, and the brotherhood once again became the only choice for pirates to sell stolen goods.

The cotton Jack Pirate Group also quickly recovered its strength in the past.

All kinds of pirates have come to invest in the name of his good camp. At its peak, Alessandro dilabi's four fleet 62 ships are firmly under the white flag, Blackbeard and black Baron pirate regiment. They are the strongest team in the second echelon.

But such a good day didn't last long.

In the battle of baster, Blackbeard's prestige was greatly damaged, and bafromiu fled to South America. Alexandro dilabi didn't know what he had eaten wrong. On the third day of the hanging of skillful dereki, he suddenly declared war on the hard-hit Blackbeard, trying to replace Blackbeard and become a protector of the maritime brotherhood.

Blackbeard, who was worried about nowhere to vent his anger, responded with emotion. He fought with the cotton regiment three times in a row on the sea of the exsuma islands, alexandro dilabi lost three times in three wars, and Bloody Mary was captured twice.

If Nassau black harbor had not become the most important tool for Blackbeard to sell stolen goods and collect money, Alessandro dilabi would have been left on the uninhabited island and reef by the angry Blackbeard to die.

In a word, Alessandro dilabi is a strange pirate, an excellent businessman, and, to some extent, a wonderful combination of lucky and unlucky.

Lorraine saw the keepsake of the pirate king in his pendant and couldn't help raising his mouth: "I didn't expect greed such as Blackbeard to leave them in your hand. Did you forget it?"

Alessandro dilabi stared at Lorraine with hatred: "the bottom line of the maritime brotherhood is that the pirate king runs the brotherhood's black port, while other big pirates are unwilling to sell stolen goods under the power of Blackbeard, so... This is the result of compromise."

"Compromise..." Lorraine took the knife back to its sheath and wiped the blood on his face. "It sounds like many interesting things happened after the brotherhood moved to Nassau. The pirates actually learned to compromise and solve problems on the table like civilized people."

"We always know how to solve problems on the table!"

"Really?" Lorraine reached out to take off the keepsake and threw it to edre by the cabin door. "Cotton Jack... Your highness, you, hound Henry and Viking bonette attacked the most prosperous Massachusetts Bay in America like a madman, slaughtered hundreds of people in American territory, and kidnapped dozens of famous businessmen."

"You just did this irrational thing. You can say in a blink that you are a rational civilized creature..." Lorraine took a deep breath. "Your Highness, pirates are not suitable for you. You should be a politician."

Alessandro blushed: "if it weren't for the damn hound, Henry is useless..."

"It's easy to be disappointed to place hope on others. You should have been prepared if you failed to sink valkiri." Lorraine sat down with a smile and crossed his fingers opposite Alessandro. "Your Highness, I'm going to hang you on this ship."

The sudden announcement of death made Alessandro's face jerk.

He was completely flustered, and his previous composure dissipated without a trace.

"Bai... Bai Qi, you shouldn't directly execute me! Under the protection of the Pirate Code, I have the right to be exiled to a desert island!"

"You have no right to choose how to die," Lorraine said firmly. "In this sea, the right belongs only to civilized people."

"But I'm a civilized man!" Alessandro shouted. "I'm an American citizen, even a town councillor in Williamsburg, a real councillor!"

"This can......" Lorraine opened her mouth. "Are you really a politician?"

"If false, if false!"

Looking at Alessandro's flustered appearance, Lorraine was speechless. He frowned and weighed at the bottom of his heart. It took a long time to clarify his mind again.

"Missing or transferred to the United States," he whispered. "My choice depends on your performance, Senator."

"Now please tell me what was written on the mysterious paper of the convening order that led to this action..."
