Chapter 40 Pirates outside Shipwreck Bay

After hearing the news, Gavin immediately set off and rushed over with the Blood Dragon Guard.

During this period of time, Gavin strictly controlled the entry and exit of Shipwreck Bay in order to prevent the news of the change of owners in Shipwreck Bay from spreading, in order to achieve the purpose of deception, hoping that some of the original Black Shark "Earl"'s men outside would not sink. Angry, I came to Shipwreck Bay so that Gavin could catch a turtle in a jar.

As soon as the two ships docked, they were quickly controlled by Gavin's men. All crew members were disarmed, tied up, and then taken to the dungeon. The two captains were even tied up like rice dumplings and brought to Gavin in disgrace.

Facing Gavin's interrogation, the two captains felt turbulent in their hearts. They are fully aware of the situation at this moment, and they also know that resisting or concealing will not end well.

The captain on the left flashed his eyes, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind. He thought that he still had his wife, children, and children at home waiting for him to return. If he lost his life due to a moment of stubbornness at this moment, what would the family do? What's more, now that Shipwreck Cove has changed hands, and the life or death of the black shark "Earl" is uncertain, the situation is over, and there is no point in continuing to resist. So, he took a deep breath and decided to tell the truth.

The captain on the right was also filled with fear and helplessness. He thought of the days when he was wandering on the sea and experienced countless storms and dangers, but he had never felt so desperate as now. He understood that the Gavin in front of him was by no means a good person. His extraordinary methods could be seen from his ability to control Shipwreck Bay so quickly and decisively. If you insist on concealing it, I am afraid that not only your own life will be in danger, but the brothers under you will also suffer.

In these brief but long seconds, the two captains experienced a fierce inner struggle. Eventually, fear, helplessness, and the desire to survive took over. They looked at each other and saw the same decision in each other's eyes.

The captain on the left lowered his head first and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Sir, we dare not hide anything, and we will truthfully inform the outside world of the situation." The captain on the right then echoed: "Yes, sir, just Please spare our lives.”

Then, as if they had opened up a chat box, they told everything they knew without daring to hold anything back.

Through the confessions of the two captains, Gavin learned about the situation in the outside world. In the previous conflict with the Dornish people, the strength of both sides was greatly damaged. The Dornish people had completely reduced their defenses, and there was not much fleet left.

Most of the pirates currently out there still abide by the previous orders of Black Shark "Earl" and focus on recuperating and preparing for the Thorne family's counterattack. However, since no new orders were issued for a long time, two ships were sent to check.

They now control Bloodstone Island and two unnamed islands. However, Gray Hinge Island is still under the control of the Thorn family and has not been able to capture it. However, Gray Hinge Island has lost its fleet and has lost its way to sea. ability. At present, the entire trade route of the Stepped Stone Islands has been completely controlled.

Gavin touched his chin with his hand, lost in thought. The Dornish people's shrinking defense does not mean that they have given up resistance and may counterattack at any time. The Thorne family has a firm control over the Gray Hinge Island and will not give it up easily. Once the opponent's fleet has finished resting in Lys, it will inevitably return to the Stepstone Islands, and the long-term interruption of the trade routes will also force the Third Daughter Kingdom to take action. .

Gavin was already planning his next move in his mind. He wants to take advantage of the temporary weakness of all parties to completely integrate the pirates outside, gradually expand his influence, gain a foothold in this ever-changing sea area, and establish his own hegemony.

Through this period of reorganization, Gavin has initially stabilized his rule in Shipwreck Bay, but due to the short time and external threats, his rule is still unstable.

As long as they can collect and defeat the scattered pirates in the next operation, they can completely replace the black shark "Earl", stabilize his rule and control most areas of the Stepstone Islands. Determined, Gavin decided to take the initiative and take advantage of the unequal information to raid the pirate forces outside Shipwreck Bay.

On an unnamed island, a bonfire was burning, reflecting the wild and unruly faces of the pirates. Hook "Todd" and several of his pirate captains had a carnival, and the air was filled with strong alcohol and vulgar laughter.

Each of them had a prostitute from Lys in their arms, and they laughed and behaved wildly. The sound of clinking wine glasses and noisy yelling were intertwined, making the whole scene chaotic and lively. Some people were so drunk that they were staggering around; some people were arguing with their companions and their faces were red.

Suddenly, a subordinate hurried over to report: "Boss, the two longships sent earlier have returned. At the same time, the two sail warships and five longships of the boss are following behind, all under the flag of the boss."

After hearing this, Ironhook "Todd"'s expression changed, he pushed the prostitute in his arms away, and shouted loudly: "Stop fucking drinking!" The noisy scene fell silent instantly, and the pirates looked at each other in shock. Ironhook "Todd" stood up, straightened his clothes, and led his men towards the seaside to greet him.

There are dozens of islands in the entire Stepped Islands, and only eight have fresh water. Four of the five islands close to the trade routes are controlled by the black shark "Earl".

This unnamed island is one of the five islands with fresh water on the trade routes. As one of the most trusted lieutenants of the black shark "Earl", Iron Hook "Tod" led 10 longships and 800 pirates. Responsible for stationing here.

The wooden dock was simple and small. Eight longboats were parked at the moment, which was already crowded. After another sailing warship docked, there was almost no extra space. In the distance, Iron Hook "Todd" stood on the dock and waited anxiously.

The sailing warship slowly approached the port, and the crew quickly threw out the heavy rope. The sailors on the shore caught it and tied it tightly to the huge wooden pile.

The pedal was lowered from the side of the ship, making a dull sound, intertwined with the sound of waves hitting the dock.

Gavin led the Blood Dragon Guards down from the ship slowly. Iron Hook "Todd" was puzzled when he saw the newcomer. He ran to Gavin and asked with a smile: "This brother looks unfamiliar. Is he the new boss?"

Gavin responded: "No, I'm not. As for the boss you mentioned, you can see for yourself." After that, the Blood Dragon Guard held a small wooden box and handed it to Iron Hook Todd.

Iron Hook "Todd" took the wooden box with doubts. When he slowly opened the wooden box, a pungent smell of lime hit his face. The head of the black shark "Earl" was lying quietly in the box. Its face was as pale as paper, and its skin was a little mottled due to slight decay. The traces of lime were unevenly distributed on the head, making it look even more hideous and terrifying.
