Chapter 102: Expedition to Jackal Island (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
On the island's beach, Corey has rebuilt the beach pier according to Sean's request, greatly expanding the area of the pier and improving the efficiency of transportation.
The dock was filled with all the boats on Sean Island at the moment, including fishing and sailing boats, and the beach was full of members of the Knights of Thorns and the Swordsman Squad, none other than the Golden Swordsman, five Silver Swordsmen, ten Black Iron Swordsmen, and fifty Swordsmen Squads that Taylor had previously mentioned.
"Nick, when I went out with Taylor to crusade against Jackal Island, I must protect the safety of the island, I am worried that Jackal Island will take the opportunity to attack Sean Island, so you must pay great attention to all the wind and grass during this period, if there is an island visit during the period, temporarily settle into a training and rest house by the beach, and don't let people outside the island leave your field of vision. Everything will be arranged when I come back. Sean admonished Nick with a serious expression.
Sean was not very resistant to fighting before, after all, in this world of the jungle, war is also one of the themes of this world, not to mention awakening the soul to absorb this bloodline, although he is not keen on fighting, but at least he will not be repellent.
According to the information he got from Jackal Island before, there are more than a hundred people in Jackal Island, and he doesn't know how many souls can be provided to Sean in the middle. According to the introduction of soul absorption blood, the stronger the strength, the easier it is to produce a soul, but it is not clear how much strength it will definitely produce a soul, and the corrupt officials who hanged three ordinary people before also produced a soul, so he is not sure about the mechanism of soul generation, but it should not disappoint him, after all, the amount is there.
Sometimes Sean will also think crankily, after all, the soul absorbs this bloodline and knows that it is an evil force as soon as he hears it, so how did he awaken such a bloodline. If it was related to the ancestors, then his ancestors would not be so obscure for generations, until Sean's father broke into the name.
"Could it be related to my crossing?" he didn't know.
"Rest assured, my lord, since you have handed over the guards to me, as long as I have not died in battle, there will be no problems on the island. Nick said in a deep voice.
Since the construction of fences and watchtowers on Sean Island, the island's reconnaissance vision and defense have been improved, although there is no guarantee that there will be no fish that slip through the net, but at least large-scale invasions can still be detected in advance and prepared in time.
"It's not as serious as you said, the strength of Jackal Island is not enough to break through Sean Island, just remind you in case it causes damage to the island. "At present, there are still 4 sacrificial orbs left on the island, and due to Nick's voyage to strangle the pirates, York and Simon have just broken through the silver swordsman, and they can't take the salt fruit again in a short time, in order to improve the strength of the island as soon as possible, all the salt yuan fruit is eaten by the remaining black iron swordsmen, increasing the number of silver swordsmen on the island.
I thought that with the special ability of the Jieyuan Bead to attract sea monsters to invade Sean Island to obtain merit points, so as to catalyze the fruit of the salt yuan fruit tree again, and then give the remaining sacrificial orbs to Nick, York, and Simon to eat together, but I didn't expect that after such a long time, there was still no sea monster invasion on the island, and this plan could only be delayed again and again.
Seeing that Taylor had gathered all the members of the Knights of Thorns and the Swordsman Squad not far away, Sean said goodbye to Nick and returned to the queue to embark on the ship to defeat Jackal Island.
"York, according to the location of the chart, how far away is Jackal Island from us, and how long it will take to reach it. Sean approached York, who was holding a chart at the front of the deck, and asked, except for the crew of the ship, of all the combatants, it is estimated that York has the most experience in sailing.
"My lord, according to the location of the chart, we should not be far from Jackal Island, and it is expected that it will take more than a day to reach it. However, from what you have received, my lord, I am afraid that Jackal Island will harass us halfway. We also need to be prepared for broadside battles, but we don't know if the members of the Knights of Thorns and the swordsman squad on the island have any relevant experience. ”
York's face was full of worry, and he still had palpitations when he remembered the first time he had engaged in broadside battles on his previous voyage. The battle on the ship is completely different from the battle on the ground, the biggest problem in the battle on the ship is balance, his first broadside battle was almost because of the balance problem and his life hangs by a thread, fortunately Simon's timely support and the strength gap between him and the enemy.
All kinds of accidents on the sea voyage can be discovered, bad weather, murderous pirates, unknown sea monsters, etc., only by gambling with his life can he overcome these accidents, and he York is a relatively lucky man.
Sean shook his head and signaled to York not to worry, of course he knew the broadside battle, but the archers behind him were his confidence, if the people of Jackal Island really wanted to start a broadside battle, with the strength of Taylor's golden swordsman and five silver swordsmen to protect the eight archers, it would be a matter of time before the enemy was eliminated.
"Don't worry about this, when you sailed before, the craftsmen of the island made bows, and there are currently eight archers with the strength of black iron swordsmen on the island. Sean shook the oxygen bead in his hand, which had been given to Sean by Simon earlier.
"Bows and arrows?" asked York, looking at several black-iron swordsmen with large baskets on their backs.
"You can think of it as a javelin, except that the bow and arrow are more piercing and concealed than the javelin. Once the number of bows on the island increases, the trade fleet can also be fully equipped. Sean laughs and explains that a lot did happen during the time that York sailed away from the island.
"If the island is not afraid of broadside battles, then there is no need to worry about them directly ramming the ship, after all, this is the way to end up together, and they will not make such a decision when they are not in a desperate situation, and according to your information, Lord Lord, the outlaws of Jackal Island do not have the courage to make such a choice. ”
"That's good, it seems that this period of trade voyages has changed you a lot, and you have become more stable. Sean said with a little emotion, if it weren't for the identification system showing York's 99 favorability, he would have started to guard against the teenager in front of him.
Among all the swordsman squads in the same batch, he is most optimistic about the young man in front of him, not only has a tough personality, but also seizes opportunities, and more importantly, his favorability of Sean has improved the fastest, and he can be regarded as a person who knows how to be grateful, this is the leader's favorite kind of person, he can use it with confidence, and he can also complete everything he is given to him very well.
York scratched his head a little embarrassed, since he took on the role of trade officer, he tried to show himself a little more steady every time he negotiated, and this time the lord asked him, he also habitually showed this steadiness.
"I'm sorry, my lord, I haven't gotten rid of my role as a trade officer, all of this is a promotion from you, my lord, or I'm still worried about how I won't go hungry for the next meal every day. York's face was full of gratitude and admiration.
"This is very good, the first impression of trade is very important, at present, due to the matter of Jackal Island, I haven't listened to your report on the trade situation properly, and after this Jackal Island crusade is over, you will report to me in detail. Sean nodded approvingly.
"Yes, my lord. ”
