Chapter 732: Hesitation (Part 2)
In the blink of an eye, the New Year passed.
The vast sea is boundless and unobstructed, and there will always be dangers of one kind or another. On the sea, anything can happen.
In addition to the frequent occurrence of sea storms, pirates are also a major issue in the dangers at sea.
When you encounter a storm, if you are lucky or have excellent skills in driving a ship, there may not be any real danger, but if you unfortunately encounter a pirate, it will be a tragedy.
The best result is that property is robbed. If you encounter a vicious pirate, whether a person can come back alive is a big problem.
However, since Viscount Tetasho Romon established the Fifth Fleet and jointly operated with Prince Xiusenya's Fourth Fleet, the pirates in the area around Yuanfan Port disappeared for a moment.
A temporary calm does not mean that the pirate troubles have been completely eradicated.
As long as there is a benefit and an environment that gives birth to the germination of crime, the pirate business cannot really disappear.
A few years ago, the joint operation of the two fleets defeated all pirate organizations within a radius of one thousand nautical miles of Yuanfan Port. It was from that day that the sea route of Yuanfan Port began to flourish.
Then there was the emergence of the elves. Their attacks on other countries on the sea routes indirectly catalyzed the prosperity of Yuanfangang, the sea route.
After a period of calm, finally, there was a force that could not hold back the fat piece.
"Captain, are we really going there to go there? I heard that there is a viscount over there who is very powerful, so let's not go over and provoke him." On an isolated island far away from this sea area, a group of pirates were holding a small meeting.
The person who spoke was a thin young man with a blue cloth strip tied on his head and wearing mixed short-dressing clothes. He looked only in his early twenties, but he had a fierce aura on his body.
It can be seen that he is not very old, but there must be many people he has killed.
There were more than a dozen people in the meeting, all of whom looked short-shot. However, except for the person who was talking, the others were all big and agile.
"Haida, you are too brave! Who are we? Pirates! What kind of business do we do? Dancing on the tip of a knife! If you don't go, what do we eat and what do we drink? Since the elves fleet appeared, there have been fewer and fewer merchant ships passing by in the seas where we often move, and the defense of the coast is getting stronger day by day. If this continues, we will starve to death sooner or later!" Among the people, a man who was obviously the leader suddenly stood up: "Don't care! I have heard that there are too many merchant ships there, so I go there to move! I don't believe it. The sea is so big, what can those noble men do with us?"
After hearing this, most of the others supported the captain's opinion and expressed that they would go and make a few big tickets!
However, some people were more calm. When everyone was calming down, a pirate said hesitantly: "Captain, what Haida said is not right. It is indeed not easy to do business on that sea route. Captain, you may not know that the legendary giant eagle druid is a great noble on that sea route. I have also heard about some of the things that happened back then. This noble united another fleet to clean up all the pirates around his territory. The reason why the sea route is now prosperous is because there is no pirate there. Captain, although we have a lot of people, we can easily suffer losses when we fight with a viscount noble."
After this question was raised, the pirate leader also became clear-headed.
"What you said makes sense..." The pirate leader thought for a while, and during this period, all the pirates who attended the meeting were quietly waiting there, waiting for the captain's last words.
After a while, the pirate leader raised his head and looked at everyone again. His eyes swept over his slightly anticipated faces, and finally fell on Haida and the pirate who agreed with Haida's remarks.
"I decided that since it's a piece of fat, there's no reason to let go. We're really sure to eat this piece of fat!" He said firmly, his eyes flashing like a wolf.
"But the captain..."
"However, it is indeed not a good idea to go over rashly." The pirate leader laughed, with a unique cunning in his tone. "However, I have a way to make our brothers achieve their goals without being bitten back. Do you want to know what the method is?"
"Captain, don't keep it aside, tell us quickly!"
"Yes, Captain, brothers want to know! Just tell me quickly! What is the best way?"
Seeing that everyone was like this, the pirate leader smiled and said, "There is a saying that a wolf can't eat meat. Since that sea road is a big piece of fat, how can we just eat it? With the benefits, everyone can get it together, right? I decided to join forces with all the pirate leaders I know to discuss how to go together. At that time, there were pirates everywhere. Even if those nobles want to solve the problem, they will not only target our team, right? It is easier to fish in the water and take advantage of the chaos to rob. Do you think this is the reason?"
"The captain is wise!"
"The captain is right! That's the reason!"
When the pirates heard this, they all thought it was a good idea. The two pirates who had just raised their objections also agreed at this time.
"Since that's the case, I will post a post to other pirate leaders immediately and say I have something to ask them to come and discuss it!" Seeing that everyone agreed, the pirate leader immediately waved his hand and began to send someone to post and ask someone.
A day later, more than a dozen pirate leaders nearby held a meeting on this isolated island. Because of the business depressed, these pirate leaders had long wanted to find another place to develop. After hearing the captain's words, they all thought it was a good idea to go to that field together.
At that time, the troops will be dispersed and bloom everywhere, which will definitely cause headaches for those nobles. As long as they are smart and work a few big votes, they will have no worries about food and clothing in the next few years.
How many people are really afraid of death when they are pirates?
As long as there are benefits that can make them jealous, it will be enough for them, such as the desperate, to kill them.
So, since then, the road to Yuanfan Port has become less peaceful on the sea.
When the news reached Romon's ears, seven or eight merchant ships had been robbed on this sea route.
"It's a pirate again!" He slapped the table fiercely, not caring about the pain in his palms, Romon looked at Fafell on the side with a gloomy face, his tone was not very good. "Why did it happen several times, and I'm here to tell me now?"
At this time, Fafell's face was not very good-looking. After all, he has been managing various defensive work in recent times, and the occurrence of this incident was definitely a dereliction of duty.
"Because the place where pirates appear is not in our waters, nor within the survey scope of the Mage Tower, but the place where these pirates occupy is a must-pass place on our sea route."
"At the beginning, the ships came gradually decreased. Since it was the New Year, we also thought it was normal, but we didn't want it to be pirates."
"When the news came out, a merchant ship escaped their pursuit, and brought the news over! Sir, what should you do? Although the place they occupied was not our jurisdiction, they did this to destroy our business path. If it continues for a long time, what else can Yuanfan Port have?" Fafeer was actually helpless and worried about the occurrence of this incident. Seeing Romon asking, he simply expressed his thoughts.
Romon walked back and forth in the room, thinking for a moment, turned his head and said coldly: "You are right. If you let them continue like this, the Yuanfan Port City that was finally built will be unlikely to develop. Go and prepare a ship immediately. I will go to see Prince Xiusenya now. If I send troops to wipe out the pirates, it will definitely be inseparable from the support of his Fourth Fleet."
"Okay, I'll let you prepare the ship." Fafeer heard that Romon was determined to send troops to wipe out the pirates, so he immediately became active and went out to prepare the ship.
Half an hour later, a warship set out from Yuanfan Port and headed towards Lantu Island.
Prince Xiusenya has just returned from the capital, because spring has arrived, as the owner of Lantu Island, he needs to come back to direct the spring plowing matter.
Although he doesn't have to do this kind of thing himself, he still has one head and two big things.
Blue Tu Island is different from Treasure Island. The owner of Treasure Island has been operating Ttashaul for some time. In his territory, all kinds of talents are already in a complete state. Many things on Treasure Island are not required to be worried about at all. Naturally, there are capable subordinates to help him complete them.
In contrast, Prince Xiusenya was a little pitiful. Many of his direct descendants were left in the capital, and there were very few people who were good at dealing with island management. He was not very at ease with some local talents, so he caused a headache and fatigue now.
"Do I need two people to come here?" Thinking of the crowds of talents in Romon, Prince Xiusenya couldn't help but feel jealous.
However, as a prince, he has some other concerns.
Just when he was in a dilemma, someone suddenly came in and reported: "Your Highness, Viscount Tetasha is on the island."
"Is Viscount Tetashau coming to the island?" Prince Xiusenya's eyes lit up: "Hurry, please invite him in."
