"What? Robbery the Golden Post Road of Silius?!"

When Milan let out this scream.

The group included Alvin, Milan, Gary, "Iron Bone" William, two Arawak guides, Chinaro and Paka.

In addition, there are twenty-four former outstanding sailors from the "Storm Horn", fifty elite pirates from the "Iron Bone", and twenty temporarily recruited Arawak warriors.

A raid team of one hundred people, armed with the best equipment mobilized from "Fort Dearborn" and aboard an inconspicuous smuggling merchant ship, had crossed the entire "Golden Sea" and successfully landed on the Balboa Isthmus.

And this is also the heartland of the Kingdom of Cyrus in the New World!

Twenty kilometers deeper into this endless tropical rainforest, it was almost impossible to leak any more news. Only then did Ivan inform his team members of their destination and combat objectives.

It is to do something that has never been done before, or that many people want to do but have never had the courage to do.

Go directly into the hinterland of Silius and rob the gold, silver and gems that were transported from the west coast of the continent before you could board the ship!

It's no wonder that everyone was moved except for the Arawaks who had a blood feud with Cyrus.

"Um, this hehehe"

In the end, the "Iron Bone" William did not escape the fate of selling himself. When he faced Huggins, he had to run away. At this time, he faced the regular army of Cyrus.

He just felt as if he had boarded a pirate ship, and he could never get off. If he followed Ai Wen to finish this job, he would really have to hold on to this thigh tightly in the future.

William, who is well versed in the art of self-preservation, is still thinking about the long term.

But including the elite pirates he brought, those soldiers who had nothing but licked blood from their swords were all excited.

"Sir, is it true?"

"I'm going to kick the Cyrus's ass!"

""

Having been in the New World for such a long time, who among other navies, pirates, and natives has not experienced the tyranny of the Silius people?

It's okay to rob their merchant ships far away from the naval base.

But directly robbing the gold and silver that Cyrus officially regards as his lifeblood is something that even the Pirate Kings have never done or dare not do.

The significance of this is second only to the successful capture of the Treasure Fleet! If this deal is completed, the privateer fleet, which currently does not even have a name, will surely become a blockbuster!

Looking at everyone's expressions, Aiwen was very satisfied. This was the effect he wanted.

Shocked, excited, excited, unbelievable

The stronger these emotions are at this time, the stronger the self-confidence, cohesion and belief in oneself will be when the goal is truly achieved!

For a privateer fleet without official military support, the main income is from loot, so a sufficiently attractive target can best stimulate the morale of the team.

With the first battle of this grass-roots team, we will set the beginning of a miracle that no one can achieve.

Only by shaping the "soul" of this team and gradually infecting those who come after can we create an elite privateer fleet, rather than a group of rabble who bully the weak and fear the strong.

At least in Ivan's "Overlord Disqualification Plan", this privateer fleet is obviously going to go on a frontal battlefield. How can it be afraid of going against Cyrus at this time?

At this time, Ivan, who was wearing a white mask on his face and camouflaged with grass leaves and bark, ordered: "Keep moving forward and set up camp after ten kilometers!"

The people behind him followed suit, and after putting on disguises, they followed Ai Wen back into the tropical rainforest.

The New World is a gourd shape with long lengths from north to south. The thinnest part in the middle is less than 700 kilometers. It is called the Isthmus of Balboa, which is where Ivan and the others are now. It is mainly composed of rainforests, mountains, inland seas, and rivers.

On land, this area is sandwiched between the New Silius Vice-King District in the north and the New Granada Vice-King District in the south. On the west side is the Broken Star Sea, which has the strongest power of Silius, and on the east side are all

Naval bases, including Fort Navidad, where the New World Naval Command is located, are located here.

There are all the inherent forces of Cyrus in all directions. Although there are no settlements in the rain forest, it is also the real heartland of Cyrus.

However, even though Silius has ruled this place for nearly a hundred years.

However, in the complex terrain of the Balboa Isthmus, there is no way for ships to pass, and there is no way to connect the east and west banks.

Therefore, they usually transport the gold and silver produced by Secret Dragon, New Granada and New Silius via sea route to Balboa City on the side of Broken Star Sea.

Then they were transported by mules and horses through the tropical jungle of the Isthmus of Balboa, to the golden seaside Port of Dios, and then transported back to the country by sea.

This forest road across the isthmus is called the "Golden Post Road"!

The invincible Hilius fleet on the sea may have capsized due to various reasons, but on land, this "golden post road" has never had any problems.

Normal season.

After the large fleet sets sail in early spring, a small fleet will not set sail again until autumn. Before then, this "golden post road" will be activated.

But the current situation is obviously no longer enough for them to spend more than half a year preparing calmly.

All the gold and silver in stock can only be transported as much as possible to Dios on the side of the Golden Sea in advance, and together with the proceeds from the plunder during this period, they can be shipped back home.

It also happened to give Alvin a chance.

Ivan, who has been eyeing this place for a long time, has sent his own reconnaissance troops to carry out all-round control since receiving the authorization to establish a privateering fleet.

The extreme detection range of each seabird can cover a circular area with a diameter of fifty kilometers. Now use the one hundred and fifty seagulls with their own "spiritual connection" and "spiritual body" to form a network.

As long as Ivan thinks about it, he can lie in the Hatrafa Port in the northern part of the Golden Sea and have a panoramic view of the city of Balboa on the side of the Broken Star Sea, which is nearly 3,000 kilometers away!

Later, after meeting with the Arawaks who had been engaged in guerrilla warfare with the Silius people for a long time, and obtaining information about part of the escort team from them, the action plan was finally finalized.

then.

A few days ago, from the feedback from seagulls.

Ivan discovered that in the city of Balboa on the other side of the isthmus, ships from the south and the north arrived at the port, and a large number of mules and horses were mobilized.

After sending the seagull spirit to get closer to detect the mysterious cargo contained in wooden boxes, he has determined that it is the target he is waiting for.

So seize the time and organize people to go straight to the "Golden Post Road".

This kind of baggage force marches in the mountains and forests. Even if there are simple post roads built, the straight-line distance is only 30 kilometers in one day (only during the day).

It would take them at least 20 days to complete the Isthmus of Balboa.

Just in case, Aiwen even came here to ambush more than ten days in advance. Moreover, no matter how careful the treasure transport team is, they can never escape the real-time monitoring of the seagulls.

This is the domination of the intelligence field!

Bah! Bah! Bah!

In order to conform to the current "white knight" persona, Ivan did not use witchcraft. Instead, Gary waved a long knife and was responsible for clearing the way in front.

The group of people were either extraordinary people or elites among ordinary people. Before dark, they had successfully arrived at the campsite that Ivan had already selected.

A flat ground with running water streams and wind-sheltered hills as support was perfect for setting up camp. It was only seven kilometers away from the ambush site that Ivan finally selected.

When the treasure transport team was only one day away from the exit of the rainforest and relaxed their vigilance, they were caught unexpectedly!

"Set up camp and be careful, we need to stay here for half a month."

At this time, there was no need for Ai Wen and others to take action. The physical work was naturally taken over by his subordinates, which naturally reflected the gap in the survival ability of the three parties' warriors in the wild.

Alvin saw everything in his eyes.

The indigenous Arawak people are undisputedly number one, the pirates of the "Iron Bone" performed the worst, and the naval soldiers who have undergone necessary military training are slightly inferior to the indigenous people.

However, if it were changed to the sea, the order would most likely become soldiers first, pirates second, and Arawaks third.

After comprehensive comparison, the navy soldiers under my command still have the highest combat quality.

at present.

Only these twenty-four proven confidants were left around Aiwen. They have followed Aiwen for a long time and have experienced battles. Their combat power, experience, and knowledge are far beyond what ordinary pirates or natives in the wild can compare with.

This group of people will become the backbone of the privateering fleet in the future, and those who perform well are likely to become new privateer captains.

Moreover, Aiwen has separated public and private affairs from the beginning, and will not let the regular navy and privateer fleet pirates get mixed up.

From now on, the "Stormhorn" will be the ship of Commodore Irwin of the military, and the "Morning Star" heavy cruiser will be the flagship of the privateer fleet.

Not long after nightfall.

After the initial run-in, the raiding team finally settled down in an orderly manner.

The physical exertion was relatively high on the first day, and Aiwen did not let them hunt, and the small amount of prey could not satisfy the consumption of these hundreds of people.

It only lasts for half a month, and the dry food I brought is completely enough.

After dinner.

After arranging the night watch, most people who had been running around for a day fell asleep to the increasingly active calls of nocturnal animals in the rain forest.

but.

On this first night in the jungle, it was obvious that we were not prepared to let these outsiders live too peacefully.

Near midnight, it was the first changing of the guard.

"Your Excellency Captain"

In a separate tent, Ivan, who was writing and drawing with several volumes of "Totem Warrior Training Method", suddenly heard a urgent call from outside.

That was the voice of Baldwin, one of the twenty-four confidants who followed him.

"You will call me Lord White Knight from now on, what's wrong?"

Alvin didn't care much at first, because the seagulls didn't give him any unusual feedback.

However, Baldwin's next words made him unable to sit still.

"Sir, something has happened! When we were counting the number of people during the changing of the guard, the last guard silently lost one person!"
Chapter completed!
