Over in the country, the journey southward of Master Jie and his friends finally began.
There are two thousand first-tier warships, plus twenty second-tier battleships, most of whom have signed formal employment contracts. This is the total strength of the Four Seas Guild now.
It can be said that in order to arm this army, almost all of the brothers' wealth was invested, and even Wang Hao, who was far away in the UK, also sponsored a lot.
This is destined to be a war in which only victory is allowed and no defeat is allowed.
If the war fails to achieve their expected goals, then the rise of the Four Seas Guild will be delayed for a long time, and the possibility of becoming a hegemon may be completely lost.
The current development of the Sihai Guild is pretty good. Thanks to some inside information revealed by Wang Hao, the guild's development has almost made no detours. It has also seized the opportunity to hoard and make a few small fortunes, making other small and medium-sized guilds envious.
In the entire Quanzhou Port, the Four Seas Guild is firmly ranked in the top twenty. In the eyes of many people, this is simply a miracle.
A group of young people with no relevant experience started from scratch and were able to break into such a huge situation in less than a month.
Because they held the title of founder of the Four Seas Guild, they were looked down upon wherever they went. Even Mr. Jie's family sent people to inquire about this matter, which earned them a lot of points.
However, when a guild has developed to this stage, it will inevitably start fierce competition with other guilds.
Yes, there is no Dragon Soul here, and there is no God of War tribe, but there are hundreds of large and small guilds here.
In another time and space, as the only two overlords in the country, why did they not get involved in Quanzhou? In addition to restraining each other, the more reason is that this place is too chaotic. There are so many large and small guilds. They fight with each other endlessly on weekdays, but once
The two overlords will make direct moves. They will unite again immediately.
And even if we take control of this port, managing these guilds will still be a very troublesome problem.
In terms of ability, Jie's self-confidence is not inferior to others, and he will not show any cowardice when he competes with other guilds.
But they also know that once they fall into the quagmire of such vicious competition, it will be difficult to escape. Their eyes have never been limited to Quanzhou Port.
Although Wang Hao did not express his inner thoughts to his brothers, Jie Shao and others could still feel the former's urgency.
It was precisely based on this understanding that I made this trip south.
According to the latest news received this morning, Mr. Jie and others led the fleet through the Dongsha Islands. If everything goes well, they will reach the Philippines, the first stop of this trip, this evening.
To be honest, Wang Hao himself does not know much about the history of the battle for resources in the South China Sea. His limited knowledge only comes from forums or other people's oral accounts.
After all, no one can prepare for rebirth in advance.
In addition to carving up large areas of precious resource origin, the core interest of this South China Sea resource battle is a free port.
More importantly, this free port is still ownerless.
Soon, many pirates will spawn near the free port. Guild organizations can receive tasks from NPCs on the island and exchange points for killing these pirates.
After all the pirates are eliminated, in order to thank the players who came to help, the villagers on the island will give 10% of the proceeds to the players who participated in the war.
The more points you have, the greater the proportion will be.
Ten percent of the total income of a port city is such a huge amount of wealth, especially since this port is located among the three major golden routes in the world.
And it is foreseeable that as the player level increases and trade becomes more prevalent, the value of this free port will increase exponentially.
If the distance is not too far, the players do not have the ability to sail far at this time. Otherwise, I am afraid that some large guilds in Europe and America will not be able to help but want to take a piece of the pie.
As long as they can account for 1%, then Master Jie and the others can be considered as overfulfilling their mission this time.
Of course, this is not simple. There are more than ten countries in the southeastern mainland alone, and there are more than a thousand participating guilds. Plus Japan, North Korea, Bangzi Country and Polar Bear, the competition is not ordinary.
As far as Wang Hao knows, in another time and space, even the best-performing guild held less than 1% of the shares.
The advantage of Master Jie and the others is that while other guilds are busy dividing their territories and seizing resources, they have mastered the information about the missions released by Freeport in advance. This alone is enough for them to take advantage.
Yes, this is Wang Hao's advice to Young Master Jie and the others, to give up robbing those precious resources and make full preparations for the mission of Free Port.
If Wang Hao remembered correctly, the date for the Free Port mission to be released will be in two days. Before that, the official did not reveal any news related to the Free Port mission.
As for the many precious resources distributed in the South China Sea, Wang Hao was not very clear about the origin and distribution of these resources. Secondly, he wanted to minimize casualties and recharge his batteries to prepare for the subsequent battle.
That's all Wang Hao can do for Mr. Jie and the others. How much profit they can make in the end depends on their performance.

Wang Hao returned to the guild headquarters.
He has been fighting and running business these days, and has saved a lot of junk equipment and a small amount of low-level green equipment. He has no use for these equipment, and it is not cost-effective to throw them at the auction house. He has no time to set up a stall, so he simply plans to throw them all away.
Enter the guild's equipment warehouse.
When Wang Hao clicked on the equipment library and took a look, he immediately let out an exclamation.
The foundation in front of me was almost different when it first started, but there were tens of thousands of ordinary white items, hundreds of green items, and even three blue items.
One is a rare material for shipbuilding, one is a golden scimitar, and the other is a griffin ship's head.
The attributes of the latter two pieces of blue equipment were pretty good, but Wang Hao couldn't use them either. He looked at the contribution points required for these two pieces of equipment, and found that the number of up to 3,000 was prohibitive for many people.
At present, the entire guild has less than a handful of points that can be redeemed for these pieces of equipment, and only Wang Hao and York among the management are qualified. However, they have not redeemed them for different reasons.
It would be nice to just hang it there and give players a little more motivation to contribute to the guild.
Wang Hao came out of the guild station and was about to go to the border to continue leveling up and gain merit when he suddenly noticed that a long-dormant profile picture in his friends column lit up.
"Brother, have you missed me these days?"
Hearing the clear and sweet voice, Wang Hao's eyes immediately flashed into the little girl's smiling face.
"Well, where have you been these past few days?"
"Hehe, I went to France. My grandmother settled there. I was in a hurry and forgot to say goodbye to you. Hehe, I heard about it. You once again became the great hero who saved Britain.
At the dance held by my grandmother, I heard many people talking about your name?"
Chris thought of the faces she saw at the dance, and smiled with her eyes curled into a crescent moon: "Huh, they keep saying I'm nonsense, but this time they are all convinced."
Wang Hao was a little confused when he heard it, but he understood the general meaning. He just thought that the little girl had done something right and made the people in her family look at her with admiration.
"I won't tell you anymore. I haven't played the game in the past few days, and my level has fallen far behind. I have to catch up quickly, brother. Goodbye."
Chris has a fiery temperament, and she will do whatever comes to her mind immediately.
Wang Hao originally wanted to ask what was going on with the guardian knight, but the little girl's movements were too fast. He swallowed the words back to himself. After thinking about it, he decided to find a chance to talk about it next time.
Wang Hao returned to the "Piaoxue" and issued an order: "Start for the border line."
"yes."
The answer came from a feeble voice. This fat, lazy man was the former French right-wing naval commander Commander Pelley who was captured before.
After Wang Hao flatly rejected Fatty's request to redeem himself, he automatically became Wang Hao's attendant.
When he first conquered this captain-level NPC, Wang Hao was excited for a long time.
But now, Wang Hao felt uncomfortable looking at the fat man from side to side.
If God gave him another chance, he might just take the 500 gold coins.
As a captain-level NPC, although Perry is a servant, he still has to be paid his salary. For this reason, Wang Hao has to pay one gold coin every day.
He can understand the high value for money, and as long as it is worth the money, he will accept it.
It's just one gold coin a day, but he can still afford it.
In order to be able to afford the expense of one gold coin per day, Wang Hao appointed Perry as the first mate of the "Piaoxue", with a status only below Wang Hao.
He has full authority to handle affairs on the "Piaoxue" without Wang Hao being present.
In other words, even if Wang Hao is not online, Pelli can still drive the boat to do business and fight if authorized.
When he got the news, Wang Hao was overjoyed and felt that this gold coin was really worth it.
But what happened next turned his joy into despair.
Let's take a look at what the first officer did when Wang Hao was not online.
On the first day, while Wang Hao was leveling up, he suddenly received real-life news that there was a big business deal that required him to attend in person.
He controlled the character to enter the captain's room and let Perry continue to direct the battle.
Since the level of the surrounding wild monsters is not high, and the luxurious configuration of the "Piaoxue" is far beyond the ordinary standards, he is not worried about safety issues.
After all, the other party is a captain-level NPC. I believe he can handle this. After all, he won't be away for too long, or in the other party's eyes, he just went to the cabin to take a nap.
Three hours later, Wang Hao came back smelling of alcohol. When he logged into the game, he found that his experience bar had not changed much.
What made him even more angry was that when he walked out of the captain's cabin, he saw that all the sailors on the ship were scattered like sheep.
And Paley is the culprit of all this. He gave the order and he was the first one to be lazy and sleep.
Can you imagine how Wang Hao felt at that time? (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
