Chapter 707: The King of the East China Sea

Around the mouth of the Danube River, there are hundreds of large and small islands, the smallest of which is only a few kilometers in circumference, and the largest is hundreds of kilometers.

These islands are not inhabited.

It's close enough to the mainland that even the crocodile's miniature fishing boats can easily reach it.

The crocodiles who live on these islands are in the millions, compared to the few in the swamps of despair.

In other words, the Eternal Night Warlord has swallowed only a portion of the crocodile.

It's not that they don't want to swallow this part together, but they don't have enough energy.

The Third Fleet of the Cummins family, which had lost inland, did not retreat to the West Sea, but took advantage of the situation to occupy this place and take root here.

At the beginning, on the Danube River, it was only a part of the Third Fleet, and it was still the weakest part of the Third Fleet.

The Cummins family's warships are mainly composed of four types of warships: Wavebreaker, Hurricane, Dreadnought, and Dragonwreck.

Among them, the Dragonwreck Battleship is unique and is a symbol of the Seven Great Fleets, each of which has only one and cannot be manufactured.

The Dragon Roar of the Third Fleet, which had been damaged on the Danube River, was first intercepted by the God of Death, dragged for hundreds of kilometers on land, and transformed into a container carrying the energy of death magic.

It was intercepted by the Eternal Night Army and blew up several rounds, although it didn't hurt the main body, but it was modified by the god of death, and it has long lost its repair value.

The Eternal Night Warlord can only use it as a key part of the ship's keel, the dragon wreckage, to be dismantled and reused.

Use its own shipbuilding technology and magic black technology to rebuild the dragon skeleton battleship.

In addition to the keel or the original keel, the rebuilt dragon skeleton battleship has no half-dime relationship with the original one, both in terms of shape and ability.

However, when it came time to name it, the Eternal Night Warlord still chose to name it the Dragon's Roar.

And the name was inlaid into the hull of the ship in a huge font in the form of a magic loop.

Once the magic energy is infused with it, the name will shine brightly, and it can be seen with the naked eye on the surface of the sea without cover, even if it is more than a dozen nautical miles away.

The main purpose of this is to facilitate the stimulation of the Cummins family's Third Fleet in the future.

The Dragonroar was lost on the Donao River, which they regarded as a great shame, and they had already made it clear to the public that if they did not recapture the flagship of the Third Fleet, the Dragonwreck battleship, they would not return to the Western Sea for a day.

According to the intelligence obtained by the Eternal Night Commander, the Third Fleet of the Cummins family at its peak was far more powerful than they imagined, with one dragon wreck battleship, five dreadnought-class sailing ships, twelve dreadnought-class schooners, more than 30 Hurricane-class schooners, more than 50 Hurricane-class schooners, more than 100 Breaking Wave-class schooners, and no less than 500 warships of all sizes, and the accumulation of various crews reached more than 50,000.

This information originated from within the Cummins family, and its accuracy is beyond doubt.

From this, it can be seen that the biggest loss of the Third Fleet at the beginning was still the Dragon Roar, if it were not for the loss of the flagship, less than 20 Wavebreaker and Hurricane-class schooners would have been a small loss at best, and the losses of a large-scale ocean-going exploration would have been more than this number, and these losses could have been made up for only by the discovery of the Third Fleet in the East China Sea.

The loss of a dragon wreck battleship alone will not bring a devastating blow to the overall combat effectiveness of the Third Fleet.

The Dragonwreck Battleship is powerful and almost invincible, but it is only a battleship.

Its real role is in the symbolism within the Cummins family.

As the saying goes, only the Dragonwreck Battleship can fight against it.

When a fleet loses even its own flagship, it is inevitable that they will decline.

This traditional idea has not changed with the growth of the Cummins family's fleet, but has gone deep into the bone marrow.

The Dragonroar was lost in the swamp of despair, and the Third Fleet's reputation with the Cummins family immediately plummeted, and it was attacked by the other fleets, encroaching on their territory and warships on the west coast - when the Third Fleet came to the East Seas, it only brought less than a third of its warships, and the main force was still holding on to the West Seas.

The Cummins family, like a pack of wolves at sea, are used to competing with each other for territory.

If Stubin had brought the entire Third Fleet to the East China Sea at that time, it would not take two years, and when he returned to the West Sea, it is estimated that there would be no place for him.

But who would have thought that the big shark in the sea hit a hard bone in the repulse bay and broke the sharpest tooth.

Stubin was able to fight his way out of the highly competitive family like the Cummins family, and he did have his own uniqueness.

The moment he lost the Dragonroar, he had already fully thought of the bad prospects of the Third Fleet, and he was also a ruthless man, making the most decisive decision.

Escape from the Danube River back to the Endless Sea, after the main force of the expeditionary force.

Appoint his sixteen-year-old son as the acting captain of the expeditionary fleet, and use absolute force to sweep the endless seas and seas, conquer as many islands as possible, and plunder as many people as possible.

And he took several of the fastest warships and returned to the base camp of the Third Fleet in the Western Sea.

Before the other fleets of the Cummins family took action, the strong man broke his wrist, gave up all the territory in the western sea, integrated all the warships of the Third Fleet, and retreated to the eastern sea.

As long as they bump into or drop by, it is like locusts transiting, and both wealth and population are enveloped in the migratory fleet.

This incident became a fuse at that time, causing a big shock within the Cummins family.

If it weren't for the fact that there was also a witch's secret North Sea Fleet, staring at the sidelines, and the other six fleets were somewhat concerned, a full-scale naval battle would not have broken out.

In order to compete for the territory vacated by the Third Fleet, there were constant small frictions within the Cummins family, and some fleets that had a relationship with the Third Fleet were greatly affected, and their territory and strength were reshuffled to a certain extent.

The other six fleets did not think of swallowing the main forces of the Third Fleet in one gulp.

However, Stubbin's actions were too decisive, and the main territory of the Third Fleet itself was around the South China Sea, and there was no time to organize the main force to pursue it.

Moreover, the Endless Hainan Sea is not suitable for large-scale naval battles, and warships that do not understand the local waters may run into the reef and sink under normal driving, let alone start a naval battle.

I could only watch as the Third Fleet packed up and relocated to the eastern waters of the Endless Sea.

Afterwards, the other fleets tried to find a safe shipping route in the South China Sea and go to the East China Sea to get a piece of the pie, but were beaten back by the Third Fleet stationed here.

This kind of move can basically be regarded as a split, and the Third Fleet has already regarded the entire East China Sea as its own bag, and does not want anyone to share it with it, including its former brothers.

Sharing with others, how can it be comfortable to eat alone?

It turns out.

Stubin made the right choice, at least so far, and he thinks he's wisely right.

The first two years of the Great Migration were a bit of a bit of a pain in their hearts, as they had abandoned the islands they had operated for many years, especially the seven or eight large shipyards.

But their fleet is invincible in the East China Sea, and it just swept all the way through.

Although the shipbuilding skills of the crocodile people who migrated to the sea are stronger than those in the desperate swamp, because of the lack of strong competitors all year round, the scale of their internal battles is not large, so they will naturally not do their best to develop warships, and they are still mainly small and medium-sized warships, not large-scale.

Against the alien giant shark of the Third Fleet, the result can be imagined.

Although the site that has been in business for many years is gone, it has been exchanged for a site ten times that of the previous one.

The former shipyard is gone, but their skilled shipbuilders are still there, and there are dozens of times the previous population that can be used for their enslavement.

The Third Fleet, which migrated to the eastern seas of the Endless Sea, is like a monster with no natural predators but plenty of food, developing at a terrifying speed and establishing its own maritime empire under the nose of the Eternal Night Lord.

Especially in the last two years, they have become more unscrupulous, and even extended their tentacles to the Danube Plain, which the Eternal Night Commander had not yet been able to fully eat, and established their own towns and ports along some coasts, using them as a rocker to peep into the Danube Plain.

Captain Stubin is still a thief, and he never forgets the Danube plain.

No, it should be called His Majesty King Stubbin.

Six years ago, Captain Stubin had already established himself as king on Dawan Island, proclaiming himself king of the East China Sea.

This is an out-and-out grass king, and no half of the forces admit it.

There is no room for others to snore beside the couch.

The Eternal Night Commander has always regarded the Danube Plain as his own, and naturally includes the Eastern Seas.

It was a matter of time before there was an all-out war with Stubbin's East Sea State.

In fact, the war between the two had already begun when the Eternal Night Army led the full development of the Danube Plain.

In order to compete for ownership of the Danube Plain, Stubbin did not set about building more seagoing ships after rebuilding the shipyard in the eastern sea.

Because in the previous war, he had already probed the reality of the Eternal Night Lord.

Their seamanship capability is close to zero, and the new weapons of water warfare in their hands, powder barrels and mines, are indeed infinitely powerful on inland rivers, and they are out-and-out defensive weapons.

But in the vast sea area, the effect is greatly dived.

Without a way to take advantage of it, the Eternal Night Army, an emerging force, wants to compete with itself, the sea hegemon, on the sea, but it is beyond its means.

Shipbuilding is different from others, this kind of thing is not a coincidence, it must be accumulated for decades.

The Cummins family can have such a huge fleet because of their accumulation of more than three hundred years and countless generations.

Not to mention ten years, even if it is another thirty or fifty years for the Eternal Night Army, King Stubin is confident that he will crush the other party in the number of ships at sea.

In fact, although the Eternal Night Commander has been throwing money at the shipbuilding industry frantically over the years, in recent years, he has been going all out to produce seagoing ships, and so far, the number of their seagoing ships, at full capacity, is only thirty-two, most of them are Breaking Waves, few are Hurricanes, and none are Dreadnought, and thirteen of them are trophies from the Third Fleet.

In the past few years, the Eternal Night Army Leader has not been able to shrink, which further fueled Stubbin's thoughts, and he decided that the Eternal Night Army Leader no longer had the hole cards in his hand to restrain them.

Therefore, the rebuilt shipyards were mainly used to produce various small and medium-sized warships, so that they could invade the interior of the Danube Plain.

In the face of frequent harassment by the Third Fleet, the Eternal Night Commander adopted a relatively passive defensive strategy here, not to mention the naval warfare weapons and artillery, even the Explorer Navy did not send all the troops out, and all the ships that showed up were the buildings that Stubin had already seen.

With ground forces, as well as a large number of black powder mines, it was enough to keep them out.

Taking such a passive attitude, the top leaders of the Eternal Night Army naturally have their own considerations, and the Explorer Navy has not yet been officially reorganized, even if it is on the inland river, launching a powerful counterattack will at most eliminate the cannon fodder they have landed ashore, and it will not hurt their roots.

The effort is not proportional to the gain.

It is better to show the enemy weakness, lie dormant quietly, and wait until you are well prepared before launching a thunderous blow.

Although the Eternal Night Army led three months ago, in order to deter the new royal family formed by King Laurie, and not to be dragged into the quagmire of war, which did not benefit much, he used the artillery of the strong ships, but the outside world still does not have a complete concept of artillery, let alone the Third Fleet hanging alone in the East China Sea.

There are two sides to everything.

In Stubbin's opinion, the Eternal Night Leader was surrounded by them from the sea, and without their permission, their fleet would not have sailed out of the river.

But in the eyes of the Eternal Night military leader, it is Stubbin, the grass king, who was blocked by them from the land level, and there is basically no possibility of communication with other military leaders, he is just a fish raised in the pond in the back garden, and when they prepare the knives and ingredients, they are ready to stew in the pot, whether it is steamed or boiled, it completely depends on their mood.

The only thing that is a little troublesome is that this fish is not a docile grass carp, but a man-eating shark, because the food is too abundant, the mutated size of the great white shark is very amazing, the Eternal Night Commander must be cautious, if the fish is not stewed, but is bitten off a piece of meat, it will not be beautiful.

......

Dawan Island.

Stubbin's East China Sea Country, the base camp in the East China Sea.

When Stubin led the Third Fleet to the East China Sea, he fell in love with it at first sight.

It's simply a haven made for them.

In addition to the main island in the shape of a crescent moon, there are five large islands, thirteen medium-sized islands, and more than 40 small islands, which are guarded within 300 nautical miles of its periphery, and there are countless natural deep-water ports.

The huge Third Fleet, after arriving here, is naturally like a fish in water, with a large number of ships, directly connecting all the islands into a whole.

They surrounded the main island by encroaching on the surrounding small and medium-sized islands, preventing the crocodile people who migrated here from sailing into the sea, and after they survived for five years, and after their lives became more embarrassing, they drove other islanders as cannon fodder and rushed to Dawan Island, gaining a firm foothold here in one fell swoop.
