Codex Pirates

Chapter 147 Wooden Box

In the slums of Kalmar City, a flat open space near the pier was occupied by William and his men half a year ago, and a military camp with a capacity of 200 people was established.

The soldiers in the barracks are all a group of teenagers, with an average of only fourteen or fifteen years old. Some of these teenagers come from Hongye Village, some come from villages and towns controlled and rescued by the Morgan Pirates, and some come from the slums of Kalmar City.

William gathered the wisdom and experience of many cadres under his command, plus some memory impressions from his previous life, and made some additions, deletions and changes to the drills of the world's navy, and trained these young soldiers all day long.

As for how the naval drill code came about, it was naturally given to William by the scum in the navy, A Jin and the mouse. They also introduced several retired naval officers to William. Two officers were dug out from the kingdom's army, and these people formed the teaching team, responsible for assisting in guiding the basic training of the soldiers.

That's right, it's just assistance. William doesn't want the army he spent money to raise, but his mind is full of the idea of ​​being loyal to the navy, the world government, and even the Kingdom of Navia. The ones who really preside over the training are those stable enough cadres under him.

In addition to the usual military training, William also pays close attention to ideological education. In addition to basic physical training every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday throughout the morning, there will be cultural classes in the barracks. Whenever William has time, he will also give lectures on stage in person.

In fact, William’s behavior of going to class occasionally is not conducive to the literacy progress of the teenagers in the military camp. He has no syllabus, and when he goes to the podium, he speaks casually, which often has nothing to do with the teaching content, but in the end it is two generations. As a man, he was once an elite in the workplace. Compared with the somewhat boring and monotonous cultural classes, the Boys prefer his high-spirited talks in class.

William is always able to tell the world situation and various educational stories, and from time to time, he can make some thought-provoking remarks based on the experience of his previous life.

Sometimes William stayed in the barracks until nightfall, and would organize the Boys to hold a bonfire party, more precisely, a grievance meeting.

These teenagers are either from the bottom of society, or they were once deeply harmed by the era of the great pirates. A little guidance can make their memories that have not gone away even more unforgettable.

The Boys seem to have found their home here, as well as their companions who share the same disease. They exchanged the tragic experience they suffered in their childhood, explored the root cause behind it, and there is a faint tendency to point the finger at the world government.

This atmosphere made some people in the barracks secretly startled. A teacher who gave cultural lessons to the Boys once criticized William's remarks and the ideas that gradually emerged in the Boys in class. The world evaporates.

In the following days, a retired naval officer and a retired kingdom officer recruited by William also disappeared from the barracks.

The entire barracks is a fully enclosed environment, and the teachers are monitored by William's people in class. These seedlings are like kindling, and William does not allow anyone to pollute them. After they leave the camp, not all of them will enter the army. In fact, those who enter the army Probably only a fraction.

Some people will enter the professional and technical college that William will soon host, some people will go to villages and towns to serve as grassroots officials in the villages and towns in the future, and some will form a new teaching team, and the rest will form a new army , Continue to hone and improve your own strength as a soldier.

After William left the asylum, he came to the barracks to guide a group of young soldiers to practice swordsmanship on the playground.

He concentrated on teaching for two hours, and saw Harden standing on the edge of the playground at some point, waiting for him with his neck stretched out, scratching the scar on his throat from time to time, and it seemed that he wanted to report something to him.

Harden is an old man from the Barbarossa period. He was originally the second officer on the ship. He has always been brave and ruthless, and he is not afraid of death. William, who was an ordinary crew member, had the first conflict with Zapp, and he was also unwilling to lag behind. Before William killed Barbarossa, he had been dissatisfied with Barbarossa for a long time, and he was going to fight Barbarossa with William. Although he was stopped, it also showed his boldness.

He is a typical fierce general with a simple mind and can see his position clearly. He is even more convinced of William, and his qualifications are very old. Although he is not the most powerful cadre under William now, he is still appointed by William. In William's absence, he runs things in the Pirates.

William put away the bamboo knife and came to Harden: "What's the matter?"

"Captain," Harden smiled in a deep voice, "I have taken care of all the affairs of the Goa Kingdom."

...

Goa Kingdom, Gaozhen.

Different from the anger when he heard that his merchant ship had been sunk, Earl Perey looked gentle and gentle at this time, and his every move was slow and elegant, with the unique elegance of aristocrats.

On the sofa opposite him was a somewhat restless nobleman with a flattering and respectful long face.

"I've also heard about Sabo," Earl Pere slowly stirred the coffee, "I'm sorry too, but to be honest, it's okay if something happens to him, I'm just worried that he will disregard the nobleman's decency, Willing to degenerate into the company of criminals and maggots outside the city."

"Sabo won't do that." The long-faced nobleman said.

"Maybe, maybe not," Earl Perey said in an official tone.

The long-faced noble was a little upset, so he deliberately mentioned the news he heard not long ago: "I heard that your merchant ship was attacked in the Kingdom of Navia not long ago?"

Sure enough, Earl Pere frowned when he heard this, but then he relaxed again after thinking of something.

"It's just a group of ignorant and damned criminals and pirates. If they oppress the humble commoners, they don't know their position," Earl Pere said lightly, "They don't know the power of the nobles yet. Order the Sapphire Pirates to teach them a lesson and let them know the consequences of offending a noble."

"Sapphire Pirates? Blue Gem?" The long-faced nobleman said politely, "Since it's them, you must receive good news soon."

"Of course," Earl Pere smiled reservedly, "I specially sent someone to let the Sapphire Pirates teach them a lesson, and let them spit out ten times the property that I lost in the first place."

While the two were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door of the reception room, and then the butler walked in carrying a wooden box sealed with wax.

"Sir, someone brought you this thing."

Earl Perret frowned slightly: "What is it?"

"I don't know," the housekeeper said honestly, "I don't know who sent it. He was just entrusted by someone. There is something printed on the wax that sealed the box. If someone opened it privately, it can be seen that since it was entrusted to you , and no one has the guts to open it privately."

Earl Perret nodded and took the wooden box. When he got close, he could smell a strong smell of spices on it. Even though the box was sealed, it was still obvious. He looked at the pattern printed on the wax again. A skull logo.

Earl Perret didn't care too much, he thought it was someone who casually opened the lid of the box in order to please him.

When the lid of the box was opened and the contents inside were seen, Earl Perret's face twisted violently. With a scream, he threw the box away, and a head with a distorted expression rolled down onto the carpet.

This head, Earl Perret recognized, was the subordinate he sent.
