On the Seven Towers

Two days later, the Houyi and Xingtian had anchored on an island named Ximeno.

Jimeno Island is an island northeast of the Pearl Islands, but it is not on the main trade route because it is relatively small and its location is more than fifty nautical miles away from the main shipping route. Most ships traveling in and out will choose a larger area. Gloria Island and Gomesanda Island, which are closer to the main shipping routes, are the first stops.

So anchoring in Jimeno can avoid the eyes and ears of others.

When sailing in this magical world, Xiao Chen and his party, who have a large number of mages, will not be troubled by the problem of fresh water. Mages can use magic to summon fresh water, but to be on the safe side, they still replenished fresh fresh water and food on Jimeno Island. .

However, another purpose of staying here is to contact the Undercurrent Alliance and ask them to redeem Trina and others.

Xiao Chen added a special condition to the redemption. Trina herself must use the ghost ship's information to redeem her. In his opinion, an established organization like the Undercurrent Alliance must have more and more detailed intelligence in this sea area than he does. According to the original plan formulated by China Tower, they would sail between various islands, inquire and purchase information about the ghost ship, and find the whereabouts of the ghost ship. But now, Xiao Chen can let the sea tribe collect information while he Then sit on the island and wait for news to come to you.

The owner of Jimeno Island is a scale tribe. Most of the people in this tribe are short in stature, only 1.23 meters tall. The tribe's population is not large, only more than a hundred people. They mainly rely on seafood and supplies for the merchant ships that occasionally come here.

When Xiao Chen and the others arrived at the island, they really frightened the tribe, not to mention that their metal boats were astonishingly powerful, like two giant beasts in the sea that no one had ever seen before. And there were more than two boats that came to the island together. Behind them were seven or eight Sea Clan warships, crowding the island's port.

These warships were not Xiao Chen's trophies, but voluntarily followed them to Jimeno Island. Except for a few ships that went to report the news, these ships were all filled with wounded members of the Sea Tribe.

Even for marine people living in the sea, bacteria in the seawater will still erode their wounds. Therefore, they need to go to the nearest island to repair.

Moreover, the mages in Xiao Chen's fleet did not refuse to continue treating these sea warriors, so following Xiao Chen's two ships was a good opportunity to let more wounded people survive.

The sea tribesmen who came with Xiao Chen's fleet unceremoniously occupied the best houses and the best ports on the island for Xiao Chen and his men to use. The elders of the scale clan of the local tribe did not dare to say anything in front of the extremely noble mage of the mermaid clan and the warriors of the shark clan who were as tall as mountains, and respectfully gave away the best things on the island.

However, the mage from the mermaid clan and the warriors from the shark clan appeared to be respectful and obedient in front of everyone in the Tower of China. Whether it was the ruthless killing before or the careful treatment afterwards, they all left a very deep impression on them, making them afraid to make mistakes easily.

Xiao Chen stayed on this island for half a month. He must have enough patience, because for sea voyages in this era, half a month is really short, but it is only one or two months away from a slightly longer distance. The time required for a round trip to the island.

However, Xiao Chen was not idle. He began to choose mercenaries among the recovered sea warriors and mages.

Through these days of understanding, Xiao Chen discovered that these warriors who followed Trina were not from one tribe, but were temporarily recruited from tribes belonging to various alliances.

Xiao Chen asked some leaders on the battleship and learned that Trina's family originally paid part of the fee to hire warriors from these friendly tribes, and then promised them that they would get the other part of the commission after the operation was successful. However, now this defeat has caused these tribes to sink their ships and die. They have lost money and people, and the losses have been very heavy.

This made him want to take advantage of the situation and recruit Sea Clan warriors.

The Sea Warriors were defeated by technology, organization, and the number of experts, but the value of these warriors themselves cannot be underestimated. They have strong bodies and are particularly powerful in underwater combat. Especially when doing business in the Sea of ​​Pearls, the territory of the Sea Tribe, it will undoubtedly be much more convenient to have Sea Tribe warriors at their disposal.

The Hai tribe suffered a huge defeat, but Xiao Chen was not short of money, so this cooperation was a hit.

Xiao Chen sat under an umbrella made of ice crystals and watched the marines training a group of shark warriors in the open space in the forest.

These four or five-meter-tall warriors, ten in a row, stood together like a real city wall, and their momentum was astonishing.

They were facing the sun, struggling to perform various formation postures. Although the officer who trained them was not even half as tall as they were, he was very imposing with the silver-white whip in his hand.

Whenever a shark warrior performs poorly, he will whip it out mercilessly with the spiritual whip in his hand.

The Sharks, who are known for their violent behavior, seem to have lost their temper here, and everyone is training with the officers honestly.

Trina was beside Xiao Chen. She had seen many scenes like this in the past few days, and she was used to it. Although she felt that she was not worthy of these shark warriors, at this moment, as a defeated general, she did not have the confidence to speak.

After watching it for a while, she couldn't help but ask: "Do you pay them every day and just let them walk around?"

Xiao Chen stood up and pointed at a shark warrior and said, "We can't teach them much about how to fight in the sea or how to use their physical advantages. Sharks are natural warriors. How to gather their strength together and exert greater combat effectiveness. That's what we can teach.

These ten shark warriors come from four different tribes, and some tribes have conflicts with each other, but can you still see this now?"

Trina looked over and saw that the shark warriors had some similarities in their gestures. They were like brothers from the same family.

She felt that the combat effectiveness of these people was no longer the same as when she commanded them.

She couldn't help but think, if all her subordinates were such people, what level of combat effectiveness would her team reach? She didn't dare to think about fighting the Chinese. But with such a warrior, facing the challenge of Asino, everything would be different.

But thinking of this, she laughed at herself again, she no longer had the qualifications.

At this time, he saw Xiao Chen's eyes, he looked at her with a smile, as if he understood her mind.
