infinite blood core

Chapter 230 Pirates Rampant (Repair)

The noon sun, like billions of arrows, shot all over the sky, making people's skin aching.

But today the sea breeze is still small.

The scorching air distorted the line of sight, and the flags of many empires were hoisted down.

In such hot weather, there are still a large number of navy soldiers training.One by one sweaty and miserable.

Hundreds of imperial warships were docked at the port. Under the sun, they were not as majestic and majestic as they used to be, like beasts lying in their nests.

This is the Grand Military Port, the naval headquarters of the Shengming Empire.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door of the Admiral's office.

"Come in." A young voice came from the office.

The door opened, and a tall old knight came in.

As soon as he entered the door, the old knight bowed and saluted, "Young Master."

The owner of the young voice looked up from the desk piled like a hill of documents at this time, and said solemnly: "Here, I am first and foremost the lieutenant general of the empire."

He was a young man with short blond hair, strong and tough, standing straight up one by one.

The eyebrows are also golden, long and thick.The brows are connected at the center of his brows, and then extend diagonally upwards, like a big V.

At this time, he had a solemn face, dark bags under his eyes, showing a state of exhaustion.

When the old knight heard the young man say this, he immediately saluted again: "Ahoumen sees Acting Marshal, Vice Admiral of the Imperial Navy, Lord Weisheng!"

The young Weisheng sighed and waved his hand: "Don't mention any acting marshal, there is no such appointment at all... Forget it, let's talk directly, what's going on in the family?"

The old knight Houmen is a knight and an old minister of the Weisheng family. The family sent him here, so there must be important news.Otherwise, use a magic device or a carrier pigeon to communicate.

Houmen knew the temperament of his young master, he liked to be straightforward, and hated procrastination, so he immediately spoke his mind.

"The Hundred Needles Family, please ask me to help them, search and rescue the needle gold?" Wei Sheng immediately frowned.

He tapped his fingers on the table, revealing a clear displeased expression: "Is this going to let me use my public tools for private use, and use power for personal gain?"

The old knight Houmen hurriedly said: "Zhenjin is the only heir of the Baizhu family and the only hope of the Baizhu family."

"He himself was a member of the Fifth Templar Order."

"He disappeared at sea. Searching and rescuing him is one of the duties of the Imperial Navy. How can it be said that he is using power for personal gain?"

Wei Sheng snorted coldly: "The Baizhu family is worthy of being a great noble in the south. Even if it is ruined, it still has its heritage. This time, what treasure did my father collect and use my power?"

Houmen was about to open his mouth, but saw Weisheng extending his hand again.

The latter stopped Houmen's answer and said impatiently: "Forget it, you don't have to say it, I'm not interested in this."

He sighed: "I'll take over this matter, but only once. Take my words and return to your life."

Houmen gritted his teeth and said before leaving: "The patriarch has specially explained that he also asks the young master to complete this matter as soon as possible. At least, we have to come up with some reliable clues."

Wei Sheng's brows wrinkled again, his voice raised slightly, and he was greatly displeased: "As soon as possible?"

He stared at the thick door: "You should also know what the situation is now."

"The Throne of Pirates is here, and the whole sea is boiling!"

"A week ago, the daughter of the marquis was kidnapped and blackmailed by pirates. The whereabouts of this group of pirates are uncertain and very cunning, and they are still in a stalemate in negotiations."

"Three days ago, a large-scale fleet of the Bengbu Chamber of Commerce was looted, and at least three pirate groups joined forces to commit the crime."

"Just this morning, Whiteskin Island was attacked, and all the islanders were slaughtered. This is the captain of the Death Pirates, Han Scythe, a public sacrifice to the god of death!"

"In this case, I asked me to use a large navy to search and rescue a knight?"

"It's good that I can promise this."

"Get out!"

Under Wei Sheng's scolding, the old knight Houmen had no choice but to retreat.

Looking at the reopened door, the old knight sighed in his heart, "Young master."

"It's not that simple."

"The vassals of my vassals are not my vassals. There is a difference between the interests of the family and the interests of the empire."

"You have been in the military academy of the empire for too long. You have to understand that your family is your root!"

"Look, something happened to Zhen Jin, and the Knights Templar just searched and rescued in the early stage. It was his family who really contributed and never gave up."

"The patriarch promised the Baizhen family. On the one hand, the Baizhen family is indeed richly paid. On the other hand, he also wants to take this opportunity to test your attitude towards the family and the empire."

"Oh, I hope you can really take this matter seriously and see your position clearly from this matter."

The old knight is loyal to Wei Sheng's family, but many things cannot be solved by him.

As soon as the old knight left, Wei Sheng had already forgotten about the search and rescue of Jin Jin.

His eyes gleamed, staring intently at the information in his hand.

Just when the old knight closed, this information was conveyed through the magic device of the empire.

Wei Sheng muttered to himself, "The battlefield has been set up."

"Three fleets have been surrounded on Swordfish Island."

"The Death Pirates are trapped on the island, but have built fortifications there."

"We must attack as soon as possible, otherwise the more perfect the fortifications are, the more serious the casualties of our army's attack will be!"

The pirate leader of the Death Pirates, Han Scythe, is not only a priest of the god of death, but also a warlock.Once let him arrange the magic circle, the threat will definitely increase greatly.

Wei Sheng soon spread out a map on the desk.

This is an alchemy item, a magic military map, which records in detail about Swordfish Island and its surrounding terrain.

Not only that, but also the fleet position of the navy, as well as the latest information on the fortifications of the Death Pirates.

"I need a strong general who can attack from the front and attract firepower." Wei Sheng used his index finger to draw an attacking route on the map.

"Then, the other two fleets made landing raids from the east and southwest respectively."

"The frontal attacking person is the key."

In this regard, Wei Sheng has already had a suitable candidate in mind.

Cut Joe!

Rear Admiral is known for his bravery.

The first choice for frontal attack.

For this battle, Weisheng has a great grasp.

The captains of the three fleets are all Gold rank.As for the Death Pirates, only the leader, Han Scythe, is at the gold level.

There is already a gap in the comparison of the power of the strong. In terms of weapons and equipment and the quality of soldiers, the Imperial Navy has an advantage.

"The pirate throne is condensed, and piracy activities are becoming more and more rampant."

"We must curb this momentum and ensure the stability of the Imperial Seas!"

Weisheng is a very good general, very clear about the importance of morale and people's hearts.

This battle was arranged by him throughout the whole process, and before the real confrontation began, he already felt that the victory was in his hands.

"Unfortunately, I can only do this step."

"Next, we have to hand over the command of the battlefield to Qiao Qiao."

"How wonderful it would be to be able to come to the battlefield and direct the battle!"

Wei Sheng's eyes twinkled, revealing a strong desire for the battlefield.

"Ugh!"

"Going to the battlefield to command is what I should do."

"But now the marshal is gone!"

"In this case, he is still hiding."

"hateful!"

"Why do I always lose to him at chess?"

A raiding naval battle has ended.

The six pirate ships undulated slightly along with the waves.

The surrounding sea water was stained with a touch of blood red, and the floating corpse of the pirate, along with some hull fragments, became the embellishment of the bloody water.

The alchemy puppet, model "Basic Repairer", is lying on the side or bottom of the ship, repairing the hole in the ship.

In the cabin, the defeated pirates were tied tightly and guarded by the guardians of the sword pavilion.

Victory belongs to the survivors from Mystery Island.

Now, they are gathered in the cockpit of the Deep Sea Fish to discuss post-war affairs.

Ghost girl Zidihui reported: "In this battle, we consumed a total of 186 alchemy arrows, 66 armor-piercing arrows, 45 frost arrows, 36 slow arrows, 21 paralyzing arrows, and 18 flashing arrows."

"Counting the mana consumed by the Guardians of the Jiange in combat, the total consumption of the mana pool of the Deep Sea Monster Fish is 11%. This part is converted into gold coins, about 305."

"As for the combatants, there were no deaths."

"The biggest loss is a sword pavilion guardian, which has been completely paralyzed. Its core was destroyed by the big claw, and we have no ability to repair it."

After a pause, Zidi continued: "In this battle, our biggest capture is the soft heart stone."

"The scale of the inventory is unexpected. It should be the accumulation of Stone Egg Island for several months. According to the current market price, it is about 120 gold coins."

"The second is six pirate ships, although they are all ordinary ships, the total price is 300 gold coins."

"A few daily necessities such as food and water."

"More than 220 pirates were captured. There were a total of 449 fishermen who were captured by pirates before."

"We also seized a batch of equipment. The most valuable of them are: a silver-level vest, a pair of black-iron-level hard-skinned boots, and a black-iron-level spiked whip."

"At present, it is estimated that the net profit we harvested from this battle is about 370 gold coins."

Hearing this report, most of the survivors were overjoyed.

Cangsu said in a sighing tone: "I now begin to understand the reason for the rampant pirates. 370 gold coins... You know, the annual salary of a territory minister is only about 180 gold. The annual income of a baron's territory is about 4800 gold. And we just paid the time for a raid."

The fat tongue shook his head: "This, this is not a normal phenomenon. The Big Claw Pirates have just sacked an island and were raided by us when they were the richest. Under normal circumstances, under normal circumstances, how can pirates be like this? Rich, rich?"

Zong Ge thought about it from a tactical point of view: "Before, when we dealt with undersea monsters, we lost almost every battle. But dealing with pirates, the profit is very high, maybe we can use war to support war!"

Zidi pondered: "The two situations are different. For example, we hunted the dragon-bearded electric eel before, and bombarded it so indiscriminately that its flesh was tattered, and its value plummeted. Only one gold-level magic crystal is left. Preservation of value. Regular hunting groups have more targeted hunting methods, which can preserve more value of the prey after hunting. And because the Big Claw Pirates are all human races, we can directly use their ships and equipment. use."

After a pause, Zidi said again: "The income of 370 gold coins is actually only a preliminary estimate."

"Maybe there are wanted criminals among the pirate captives, the kind with bounties. We can exchange their heads for the bounty."

"They slaughtered the island, we eradicated them, and it is likely to get a reward from the empire for this."

"And those fishermen, caught by pirates, unconscious. If these people are sold to the slave market, our profit will be greater."

The last sentence made everyone look different. The young captain's expression changed slightly, and he categorically rejected: "No! They are all innocent. If we sell them as slaves, what difference is there with pirates?"

Zidi smiled: "I'm just assuming. However, we have a life-saving grace for these fishermen and should be paid."

The former mercenary head, the goblin three swords nodded: "This is what we deserve."

The young captain showed a hint of pity: "Their homes have been destroyed, their situation is very miserable, and they can't get paid at all. It's better to forget it."

Zidi had long expected that the young captain would answer like this, so she took a step back: "If there is no material reward, let them serve. Our situation is special, and we must not let them go. The more people spread our news, the more clues will become. The more, the greater the probability that we will be predicted by divination.”

The young captain was silent, Zidi's words made sense.

Lan Zao glanced at the young captain. Although he was extremely loyal to the latter, he was not foolishly loyal.

He expressed his opinion: "If we want to exchange these pirate ships for money, we have to drive them to a certain port at least. But just a dozen of us, it is enough to control a pirate ship."

A normal sailboat cannot be compared with the Deep Sea Monster in terms of manoeuvrability.

A sailboat needs a sailor, a helmsman, a lookout, a captain and a series of people to work together.

If it is a magic ship, people need to maintain mana pools, magic power furnaces, etc.

Zong Ge added: "It's not just fishermen, we can also recruit some pirates. Only in this way can we have a certain combat effectiveness."

"We want atonement, which cannot be achieved in a short period of time."

"For a while, we're going to disguise our identities."

"Incorporating the periphery and manipulating these ships can provide us with a layer of cover."

"We can't control the Deep Sea Monster Fish and land directly at the port of Snake and Rat Island?"

The young captain was silent.

Cang Xu coughed: "Now, we have obtained a lot of soft heart stones. I will start immediately and try to construct a camouflage and deceit array."

"With it, we can disguise identities for a certain period of time."

"In this way, we can recruit some pirates and wake up the fishermen."

"Landing with these pirate ships won't be noticeable."

"As for those pirates who see our true colors, just kill them." Zong Ge was decisive.

Cang Xu shook his head: "That's a waste."

"We have a memory-extracting replicator. It can be used to try and change the memories of these pirates."

"Perhaps, we can make them allegiance to us."

The survivors were stunned for a moment, and their eyes lit up.

The discussion came to an end, and everyone's eyes were focused on the young captain.

He is the leader of the survivors.

Feeling the eyes of everyone, the young captain looked serious, sighed, and said in a heavy tone, "Then do it."
