A dozen warships with black fish-head flags flying were docked outside the island.
On the bare island, thousands of black fish thieves gathered together in twos and threes. The strong smell of alcohol and the permeating aroma of meat lingered over the entire island, and even the chilling sea breeze could not dissipate them.
Xia Shanhai and Hu Nu sat together, eating wildly at the food and wine in front of them.
Coming from the giant beasts under the sea, it is not only fresh and refreshing, but also contains a touch of aura, making it the most delicious food on the sea.
However, the giant beasts under the sea are not something that ordinary people can provoke. Only those who are strong in the Jizhao Realm dare to hunt the giant beasts.
Just as the two were tasting the delicious food, several thieves ran over with excited faces.
"Sir, we have captured another fleet!"
Xia Shanhai asked calmly: "How much was harvested?"
Under normal circumstances, they do not take action against small fleets, but their people will go out to enjoy the autumn breeze when they have nothing to do.
"Sir, there are about a million silver coins worth of goods, most of which are fine Japonica rice."
Hearing this, Xia Shanhai nodded approvingly.
Japonica rice is a kind of rice, and it is the most common staple food in Yuluo Sea. The four seasons in Yuluo Sea are like summer, and three seasons of japonica rice can be grown every year. This should be the natural advantage of Yuluo Sea.
But the same cannot be said for the Beichen Sea, which is always cold. Although there are many plants in this world that can grow in the cold snow, the food output of the Beichen Sea is extremely low no matter what.
Therefore, the main source of food in the Beichen Sea is imported from other surrounding sea areas, and the Yuluo Sea is one of the sea areas that provides the most food to the Beichen Sea.
Goods like Japonica rice are very popular with merchants and pirates, because you can definitely make money by transporting them to the Beichen Sea.
"Which family did you rob?" Xia Shanhai asked casually.
"Hehe, it's from the Dali Dynasty!"
"We also captured a few prisoners."
"One of them is still the head of Dali Royal Chamber of Commerce!"
Several thieves said to each other one by one.
Xia Shanhai raised his eyebrows. It turned out to be Dali's fleet again. He was able to meet them twice in the vast sea. It seems that there are many Dali's fleets recently!
"Where is the chief? Bring him and let me see him!" Xia Shanhai suddenly became more interested in Dali.
Several thieves responded, and then brought a slightly fat man to Xia Shanhai.
The slightly fat man looked at Xia Shanhai with a bitter smile, but he did not panic and just stood quietly in front of Xia Shanhai.
Xia Shanhai looked at him and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?"
"Don't be afraid I will kill you!"
"Haha, if our merchants waiting on the sea are even afraid of this, they might as well not go to sea!" the slightly fat man said with a calm expression.
"Hahaha, he is a warrior!" Hu Nu heard the words and laughed.
People who are greedy for life and afraid of death cannot wander on the sea.
"Are you from Dali?" Xia Shanhai asked.
"No, I'm from Qingling Island!"
"Aren't you the head of the Dali Royal Chamber of Commerce?" Xia Shanhai was a little surprised.
The slightly fat man grinned and said: "The predecessor of the Dali Dynasty Chamber of Commerce's fleet is the Qin family fleet, and the Qin family fleet is composed of eighteen ship owners from the Chengfeng Merchant Alliance."
"I am one of the eighteen ship owners. Of course, you are not wrong in thinking that I am from Dali. Now I am the head of the Dali Royal Chamber of Commerce."
He didn't look afraid at all, but rather a little relieved.
Becoming a Dali person is not a shameful thing for them, but rather a matter of honor for them.
Because Qingling Island is not their home either.
They are from Qingling Island, but before entering Qingling Island, they were just a group of businessmen who abandoned their hometown.
For example, Neia, he was originally from the Beichen Sea Area, but he wandered around in the Yuluo Sea Area. The person in charge in front of him was originally from the Spiritual Sea Area, but because he had stayed in Qingling Island for more than ten years, even he had almost forgotten it.
I come from the spiritual sea.
"I want to know about Dali's situation!" Xia Shanhai said.
The man shrugged and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know much about Dali."
Xia Shanhai thought this was his rejection, and his expression turned cold, "You should know our methods."
The man said: "What I said is true. I have only joined Dali for a few months. Most of that time has been at sea. I don't know much about Dali's situation!"
What he told was the truth, but it wasn't the truth either.
It's true, he doesn't know much about Dali, especially Dali in the Spiritual Wasteland, but since he has joined Dali, he must know something about Dali today.
For example, Dali Chaotang, the interior of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, etc., he still knew these very well.
It's just that he didn't want to say it.
Xia Shanhai stared at him for a long time, then suddenly laughed, "Very good, since you don't want to say it, then forget it!"
"Take it down!"
He waved his hand and motioned to the thieves next to him to take the man down.
Hu Nu next to him asked doubtfully: "Why don't you force me to ask?"
"No need!" Xia Shanhai shook his head, "Dali is no threat to us!"
He was only interested in Dali and didn't think Dali had the ability to threaten them.
When Hu Nu heard this, his eyes lit up and he said: "Dali's fleet is very fat, we might as well grab it a few more times!"
"There's no time, we should go back to Blackfish Island tomorrow!"
Xia Shanhai said helplessly.
They have been out for two months, and they have agreed to return in a few days. If they cannot go back in time, they will have violated the rules of Blackfish Island.
There are very strict rules within the Blackfish Pirates. Even if the two of them are top leaders of the Blackfish Pirates, they must abide by these rules.
Hu Nu was a little disappointed, but didn't say much.
Those rules were set by their boss, and he didn't dare to provoke his boss.
…
Just as Xia Shanhai and the others were preparing to return to Heiyu Island, a large ship was looking at their island from a distance.
On the bow of the boat, a man in white fur coat stood quietly.
This man is Mo Yuqing, the three island masters of Ice and Snow Island.
The northeastern part of Yuluo Sea should be regarded as the sphere of influence of Ice and Snow Island. If the Blackfish pirates appear in their sphere of influence, they will naturally pay attention to it.
However, they did not pay attention when the Blackfish pirates robbed Neia's fleet before, but this time they robbed Dali's fleet again, and they discovered it in time.
But they didn't help Dali because they didn't want to provoke the crazy Blackfish pirates.
"I'm afraid Heiyu Tou will feel uncomfortable now!" Mo Yuqing looked in the direction of the island, with a faint smile on his handsome face.
Next to him, a pretty woman asked: "Why did my second uncle say that?"
The Black Fish Head mentioned by Mo Yuqing is the boss of the Black Fish Pirates. Few people know his real name. Just because their flag is a black fish head, the world calls him Black Fish Head.
Of course, Black Fish Head is just a joking name. Probably only some powerful beings would call it this. Most people prefer to call it Black Fish King.
A Jingzhao Realm expert and a powerful pirate leader can also assume the title of king.
"They probably don't know that Tongming Lao Dao has joined Dali. If they knew, I believe Heiyutou would not dare to provoke Dali!" Mo Yuqing said with a smile.
The woman was a little confused and asked: "Is the Tongming Taoist stronger than the Black Fish King?"
"What do you think?" Mo Yuqing looked at her.
The woman was startled and then woke up.
Who is the Tongming Taoist?
That is the most powerful person in Yuluo Sea.
Dare to bear the title of number one, which shows how strong Taoist Tongming is.
You must know that in the late stage of Jizhao Realm in the Yuluo Sea Area, there are more than 20 strong men at the third level of the Divine Realm. However, so many people have recognized the title of Tongming Taoist as the number one, which shows that Tongming Taoist is worthy of the name.
And what about the Black Fish King?
Maybe his strength is not weak, but he is not qualified to be called the strongest person in the sea.
Seeing her expression of understanding, Mo Yuqing added, "But Dali can't take the black fish head either!"
"Why?" the woman asked.
"Because that black fish head is from the Giant Spirit Dynasty!" Mo Yuqing said with a somewhat complicated expression.
If the Blackfish pirates were just simple pirates, they would have eliminated them on Ice and Snow Island long ago.
After all, this group of pirates often operates within their sphere of influence. They can tolerate it until now because the Black Fish King has the support of the nobles of the Djinn Dynasty behind him.
This was the first time the woman heard about this and asked: "Since he is from the Giant Spirit Dynasty, why doesn't he return to the Giant Spirit Dynasty?"
Mo Yuqing shook his head slightly and did not explain, because he also knew little about the Giant Spirit Dynasty.
That powerful dynasty was far beyond the reach of their Ice Island.
"Let's go!"
"They should return to Blackfish Island!"
Mo Yuqing said lightly, turned around and returned to the cabin.
The woman was still looking at the island in front of her, looking at the large ships docked on the shore.
…
early morning.
East coast of Luye Island.
The tranquility of the coast was broken by bursts of melodious horn sounds.
I saw tall warships slowly sailing out of a bay. In the sky, a large number of machine birds were flying, and each ship made snow-white wave marks on the sea.
The sails were spread out and slowly moved towards the direction of the rising sun.
Not far away, some fishermen who got up early to fish looked at the connected boats with shocked expressions.
"What is that?" a young fisherman asked in horror.
"Haha, boy, you don't even know this, that's our Dali's Donghai Navy!"
"That's the Donghai Navy!" someone exclaimed.
"What a big boat!"
"And Big Bird!"
"Wow~~"
Waves of exclamations continued.
After Dali replaced the Luofu Dynasty, the Donghai Navy's station was moved to the east coast of Luye Island.
However, in the past few months, the Donghai Navy has been building a garrison in the bay. Except for the occasional warship cruise, it rarely leaves the bay.
Therefore, even the surrounding fishermen have only seen a few warships appear, but have never seen hundreds of warships going out at the same time.
They were full of awe and horror at such a scene, but at the same time they felt a sense of joy and pride.
Fortunately, Dali replaced the Luofu Dynasty, and they ushered in a fair and strict court.
They are proud that they are now the people of Dali, and Dali has such a powerful navy.
Many fishermen were very curious about the Donghai Navy's fleet. They followed the fleet quietly, wanting to see what these fleets were going to do.
It was a pity that their fishing boat could not keep up with the speed of the warship. Within half an hour, they were thrown away by the warship, and they could only watch the huge ship disappear under the bright sunshine.
At this time, in the middle of the huge fleet, a huge and luxurious warship was sailing slowly surrounded by surrounding warships.
This warship was the one that Qin Wei used when he came to Yuluo Sea, but now it belongs to the flagship of Donghai Navy Commander Lu Zhiqing.
As Qin Wei's ship, it stands to reason that it cannot be used by others, but Dali's shipbuilding technology is updated too fast.
The warships designed by Gong Shuqiu in the past have all been discontinued, and the warships manufactured by the shipyard now are all new warships designed by Gong Shuqiu's disciples.
The sailing speed is faster and the combat effectiveness is stronger.
This does not mean that Gong Shuqiu’s skills are not good, it only means that the disciples Gong Shuqiu has trained are all very outstanding.
With the improvement of shipbuilding technology, Qin Wei's previous warship was no longer so outstanding, so Qin Wei gave this warship to Lu Zhiqing.
As for Qin Wei's new ship, Qin Wei felt that he would not have many opportunities to go to sea in the future, and he would not leave Dali Kyoto in a short time, so he did not have anyone build a new ship for him for the time being.
However, it seems that Gong Shuqiu is asking his disciples to design a larger warship, a warship that combines mechanism skills and magic circles.
If this warship is successfully designed, it will definitely be a weapon in naval warfare.
At this time, on the Donghai Navy's flagship, Lu Zhiqing was cautiously accompanying several big bosses.
The Donghai Navy's expedition to Heiyu Island was an order issued by Qin Wei himself. It was commanded by the Military Aircraft Department, with the cooperation of the Enshrined Academy, and the Donghai Navy went out to fight.
Therefore, among the officials on the flagship, Lu Zhiqing almost has the smallest official position.
Military Minister Bai Qi and Situ Changkong, as well as more than ten officials of various sizes in the Military Aircraft Department.
Xiongba, the dean of the hospital, enshrines Wu Hua, Huang Yaoshi, Zuo Ci, Li Hanyi, Tongming Taoist, Luo Qingyi, Cheng Mo (Mo Haishi), Xie Lingyun, Tongxin Taoist and Qingshan Taoist.
Taoist Tongxin is the younger brother of Taoist Tongming. He has the cultivation level of the late stage of Jingzhao Realm and the second level of Divine Intention Realm.
Taoist Qingyuan is the nephew of Taoist Tongming. He has a level of cultivation in the early stage of Jingzhao Realm and the first level of Divine Intention Realm.
There are a total of four powerful men in the Jingzhao Realm in Daoxin Temple, and one is Taoist Qingyun, who is also the nephew of Taoist Tongming, but Taoist Qingyun stays behind in Daoxin Temple.
When Dao Xin Guan joins Dali, the four powerful Jingzhao Realm masters from Dao Xin Guan all become Dali's worshipers.
The reason why so many Jizhao Realm experts and officials were dispatched to the Enshrinement Court this time was, on the one hand, to let Dali officials feel the scenery of the sea and experience naval battles. After all, most of the military attachés in Dali Military Aircraft Department were from the army.
I don't know much about naval warfare.
On the other hand, they want to use this battle to get the worshipers in the Consecration Court acquainted with each other, develop relationships, and allow Cheng Mo, Luo Qingyi, Taoist Tongxin and others to better integrate into Dali.
This is also for the sake of Dali's internal unity and to avoid Dali's xenophobia.
So this time almost everyone from the enshrining courtyard came out, even Li Hanyi was sent out by Qin Wei.
As for the safety of Dali Capital, Xiao Yicai and Ye Gucheng are still in charge.
