Boom! Boom! The artillery on the port side of the battleship opened fire violently, and white smoke filled the air. The gunner skillfully cleaned the barrel and reloaded the shells.

The northern fort in Algiers was attacked by fierce artillery from the Joint Fleet. The whistling shells fell near the fort, making the pirates guarding the fort frightened. They tried to use the bronze artillery on the fort to fight back and bombard each other with the Joint Fleet at sea.

The turrets located on the mainland are not at risk of being sunk, but with the relatively backward artillery on the turrets, it is not easy to sink the undulating warships on the sea.

The United Fleet was still very restrained and had not launched a strong attack yet, but it only formed a sense of oppression for the pirates in the city.

The artillery operation of the joint fleet on Algiers suppressed the atmosphere in Algiers to the extreme. The sound of the artillery was like a giant beating a giant drum.

Li Jinde, the protagonist of the Algiers blockade, also heard the sound of artillery roaring.

He acted as a coolie in the Fortress of Penion, and saw warships appearing on the distant sea. He didn't know at first that it was a combined fleet composed of the Fourth Fleet and the Royal British Navy.

Even the Fourth Fleet, how could he know that he was in Algiers, and how could he mobilize such a large number of troops?

However, Pashamulat asked someone to transfer Li Jinde to the prison of the Penion Fortress to be held separately, and even the food improved a lot.

All the abnormal behaviors made Li Jinde realize that the strange fleet that was shelling the Algiers Fort at this time might have a close relationship with him.

Could it be the Fourth Fleet? But how could they know I am here?

When Li Jinde saw Pasha sending him a sumptuous meal, he could hear the sound of warships bombarding the port. He thought in his heart that the one who shelled Algiers on the sea outside the city might be his own fleet.

"Your people are attacking Algiers."

A man wearing a headscarf and luxuriously dressed in the prison surrounded by many pirates. A slave was conveying the meaning of the person coming to Li Jinde in English.

"This is my subordinates captured on the coast of Britain. It's a coincidence that you can speak in Britain, so our communication has been much smoother. Among the people here, we can't find a Chinese-speaking person. I, the supreme ruler of Algiers, you can call me Muratpasha."

The person who arrived was Murat, the pirate leader, and the governor of the Ottoman Empire in Algiers.

He looked at the Chinese businessman in front of him who had become pale and thin due to excessive work and lack of food. He never thought that the joint fleet would cause a disaster to attack Algiers because of a temporary intention to kidnap him.

"You kidnapped me here at the beginning!" Li Jinde's eyes widened, and almost exhaled anger.

It was the man in front of him who kidnapped him here, which made him experience a period of torture.

"Your Eastern Empire executed my son who went to trade in the Spice Islands. This revenge has been taken over. Of course, I will not let anyone catch any Chinese." Murat said.

Li Jinde did not expect that his arrest was related to the Nanyang Provincial Government. He thought for a while and said: "The government in the Spice Islands cannot execute an outside businessman for no reason... Unless your son is engaged in smuggling activities there or colluding with pirates to kill and set fire... If he violated our Eastern laws in the East, then being executed by the government is worthy of being executed..."

"Shut up! That's my only son. In the future, he will inherit my position and become the Pasha who manages Algiers! As a result, you are killed by your people now! Don't think that your fleet will be able to rescue you when it comes! Our generations of Pasha have built castles and walls in Algiers, and deployed the plundered and purchased artillery in various important fortifications. This is a wall of iron! We cannot defeat them on the sea, but they should not want to go ashore with the cross-cannon fire of two turrets!" Murat said a little angry.

When Li Jinde heard this, he smiled and said, "If you are really confident, why is your tone so irritable?"

He saw Murat's inner uneasiness. Many theoretically indestructible fortresses can only be tested when they are truly attacked.

After all, Murat was a pirate who had been circulating in the Western Mediterranean for many years. He accidentally exposed his inner anxiety to Li Jinde and quickly adjusted his mentality: "You are a smart person. Who is it? It is worth your people who send fleets from the far east to rescue you? Prince? Or a duke?"

Li Jinde was dumbfounded this time, and he was not sure why the fourth fleet would come to ask the pirates for guilt!

"I'm just an ordinary businessman." Li Jinde replied.

"Do you think I am a fool and will believe you? How could an ordinary businessman make a fleet come from thousands of miles to ask for people?! My son was executed by your officials, and I had no intention of leading a pirate fleet to expedition to the East!" Murat suppressed his anger and said to Li Jinde.

"I am really just a businessman. If there is anything special, I will lead the fleet to station in London for trade. I really don't know why our fleet would come to save me. The words are over, do you believe it or not?" Li Jinde shrugged helplessly, and sweeps the food on the table like a voracious meal.

He hadn't had such a hearty meal since he became a coolie.

Murat originally wanted to come over and find out Li Jinde's identity, but he still couldn't determine what Li Jinde was.

According to common sense, the people who can bring the fleets of the two countries to rescue will not be ordinary people, and sometimes even princes are not treated like this.

Either Li Jinde lied, or the United Fleet shelled Algiers for other purposes.

Even if a local hero like Murat is in trouble, it is impossible to distinguish the complexity of things.

Li Jinde is not an ordinary businessman. He has a certain connection and runs for him when something happens to him. In addition, the purpose of the joint fleet is not so simple. They want to establish their prestige by attacking the pirates in Algiers, and at the same time, they have a harsh compensation from the pirates in Algiers to eat black.

Murat couldn't figure out the connection, so he did not continue the interrogation, but stood up and prepared to leave.

"Also, after your son died, you did not lead a pirate fleet to expedition to the east, just because you didn't have that strength, right? But unfortunately, our fleet has the strength to expedition to the west." Li Jinde mocked while eating voraciously.
