Chapter 427 The Pirates Are Here
Neither Hua Xiaolou nor Alice had any experience in sailing, so they naturally followed Henry's suggestion, changed the course, and sailed towards the abandoned one.

Soon after, we began to cross a canyon.

"It was spectacular!"

Looking at the canine-toothed peaks on both sides, Alice sighed sincerely.

Although the mountains in the sea seem not as high as the mountains on land, they look like they have a special charm.Driving along the way, from time to time, you can see some caves connected to the sea, where the tide is surging and rumbling.

"Henry, are there still pirates on this route?"

"Princess, it's hard to say..."

Henry replied with a serious face: "Pirates can be regarded as a special and ancient group. Although they are not as active as before, no one can tell where they appeared.

They also know how to keep pace with the times and will buy some advanced weapons or ships.In recent years, there have been many incidents of pirate robbery, including [-]-ton ocean-going cargo ships are not immune..."

On this point, Hua Xiaolou has seen similar reports.

Although pirates are not as rampant as they used to be, after all, they are no different than in the Middle Ages. Many countries have powerful battleships, cruisers, submarines, and even aircraft carriers.

These modern armed forces are deadly to pirates, so they dare not do it easily.

But this is like criminals in the city, no matter how powerful the armed forces are, there will still be people who will take risks.Pirates rob ships almost every year.

Especially in some special sea areas, pirates still appear frequently.For example, the Caribbean Sea is a typical example.After all, the sea area here is too wide, with countless islands and canyons distributed among it, and the terrain is quite complicated, which is good for pirates to hide.

Several countries have joined forces to organize fleets to carry out several large-scale encirclement and suppression, but the effect is not very great.It can be said that no one is as familiar with the sea as pirates.

……

There was a light mist over the sea.

On a small island, a man with a ribbon on his head is routinely checking his surroundings with a telescope.

They are a group of pirates who have been entrenched in the archipelago in this area for many years.

It used to be a bustling waterway, with countless ships coming and going all year round.Therefore, there were more than [-] pirate gangs in this area at their peak.

In order to seize the territory, there will often be fights between them. In short, the big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats dried shrimps.In the end, some small gangs were either eliminated or incorporated.

The remaining ones that are relatively strong in size and strength will start to divide their territories...

With the changes of history, the prosperous age of pirates is declining.Of the more than [-] pirate gangs in this area back then, there are only three left today, and the number is far less than before.

However, although there are fewer people, the fighting power has become stronger.

They will purchase advanced ships, artillery, guns and ammunition from arms dealers.Compared with those professional fleets, they are definitely far behind, but they are more than enough to deal with ordinary commercial ships.

Although this route is now abandoned, there are still occasional ships passing by, so these pirates will take turns to monitor it around the clock.

"Huh? What is that?"

The man suddenly found something in the lens of the telescope.But because of the fog, he couldn't see very clearly.After a while, he finally discovered that it was actually a cruise ship.

"Haha, developed!"

What pirates like most is to rob cruise ships, because most of the tourists on cruise ships are relatively rich.Pirates generally don't snatch goods, because selling them is too troublesome and risky.

What they like to grab most is gold, silver jewelry and cash.

"Boss, boss, I found a cruise ship..."

"What? A cruise ship? Are you sure you read it right?"

"It's true, it's a medium-sized cruise ship, somehow it came to our territory..."

"Hahaha, great!"

The pirate leader was very excited, and immediately ordered his men to act, preparing to rob the cruise ship.

Their real nest is actually not on the island, but under the island.There is a huge karst cave on the west side of the island, connected to the sea, where speedboats and armed ships are moored.

Soon, five speedboats and two armed boats came out of the cave and formed a formation to intercept the cruise ship.

In the eyes of this group of pirates, the armed forces of the cruise ship are vulnerable. As long as they fire a few shots near the cruise ship, the security guards will scare the people on the ship out of their shit and obediently pay for it.

Generally speaking, the purpose of pirates is to seek money, but they will not kill people easily. This can be regarded as a kind of pirate's rule.

After all, killing someone can lead to wild revenge.

"Princess, princess!"

At that time, Hua Xiaolou was staying in the room explaining some key points of the mental method to Alice. Suddenly, there was a rush of knocking and calling outside.

"what happened?"

Hearing that the tone was wrong, Alice couldn't help raising her voice to ask.

"Princess, a fleet of unknown origins is sailing towards us. They may be pirates. Princess, go to the safety cabin to hide."

The safety cabin is a special design on this cruise ship. The whole body is made of the most advanced nano-materials. Hiding inside, even if the whole ship is bombed and sunk, the safety cabin will not be damaged.

There is oxygen and food in it, and it is airtight. It can be suspended on the water surface, and can also be manipulated to sink into the water, which is equivalent to a miniature submarine.

There are also positioning systems and communication facilities in the cabin to facilitate search and rescue and contact...

"pirate?"

Hearing this word, the princess froze for a moment, and then became excited.

She hurriedly opened the door, looked at the maid outside and several guards and said, "Are you sure you are pirates?"

"Princess, it doesn't matter whether you are a pirate or not, but for the sake of safety, the subordinates think that it is best for the princess to hide in the safety cabin."

At this time, Hua Xiaolou also came out.

For Hua Xiaolou and the princess staying together in the room almost every day, the people on the boat are used to it.And the princess also explained this, saying that she was learning Chinese from Hua Xiaolou.

And in the hearts of these maids and guards, of course they didn't think that things would be so simple.When they thought about it, Hua Xiaolou had already been approved by the queen, and he and the princess were probably lovers...

Although they couldn't figure out why the princess would take a fancy to an oriental man, they didn't dare to discuss it in private.If the princess knew about it, she would be severely punished.

"What are you hiding from? It's just a small group of pirates. This princess wants to see such a scene. Xiaolou, let's go to the deck to have a look..."

"Princess, don't!"

Before Hua Xiaolou could answer, those maids and guards were terrified, with horrified expressions on their faces.

The princess mainly made a mistake, and they couldn't afford it.

"Don't worry, we have frigates, what kind of pirates are we afraid of? They are looking for their own death!"
