On the east side of Bay 6, the area where wooden boats are moored.

The "Tiege" was the largest of these ships, with a black iron and wooden hull and a bow made of Arowana horns, the strongest and hardest of all ships. Coupled with hundreds of crossbow machines on both sides of the ship, no one in the fleet dared to say no to this ship.

"Oh no, no!" A soldier rushed in with a scream.

Tie Ge was heating a cup of cold caviar soup on a fish oil lamp, and was frightened by the soldier, and finally spilled some of the caviar soup that was warmed up by a small flame.

"What's going on, you're in such a hurry!" Tie Ge scolded him. Then he quickly picked up the cup, licked the spilled roe with his tongue, and drank it while it was hot.

"Lord Tiege, 10 more boats are gone today! Went to their side! ”

"What?!" Tie Ge squirted out, and the caviar soup that he had just drunk halfway through was spit out again.

"Lord Tiege, they can't stop it, they insist on believing in that God King of Light, even the Mother of the Sea God has betrayed, they traitors!" The soldier was heartbroken.

"Quick, call all the captains, and the seven elders too, I want to have a meeting with them."

Ten minutes later, the captain of the Tiege was inside.

Tie Ge nodded, and found that there were only 162 captains left who came to the meeting, that is, during this time, only half of the more than 300 ships left.

The rest of the captains, although they knew what Tie Ge was going to say to them next, were looking at each other, looking left and right, or absent-mindedly, not knowing what was going on in their hearts.

Tie Ge stood up and said, "Captains, half of our ships have gone to the opposite fleet, and if this continues, our ships and men will be gone." What can we do to stop this from happening? ”

Everyone looked at each other. I don't know how to answer.

The equally rugged captain stepped forward and said, "We should warn the god-king and let him put our people and ships back!" ”

"What if he doesn't let it go?"

"Then war, use war to take our ships and men!" The captain said toughly.

This sentence instantly detonated the topic, and everyone expressed their opinions on the matter.

"That God-King is very powerful, and we will only face defeat if we start a war!"

"The boats were running to the other side of their own volition, and we couldn't stop that from happening."

"What voluntary? It was only after being bewitched that they ran over there, and these false gods will only deceive people's hearts. A captain retorted.

"But the god-king made a flying ark, and such an ark could save us all. The god-king also said that whoever believes in him can be born, and this is our chance! ”

"Whoever believes in others can be born? You also believe this kind of nonsense, do you want to run to the other side? Isn't it? The rough-looking captain pulled one of them by the collar and said angrily.

"What's wrong? Look at the clothes we wear? Look at the nets used by our fishing fleets? Didn't they all get it from that god-king? And a lot of things we buy from them, isn't that one very useful? But if we join them, not only can we live in a warm big ship, but we can also board the ark, and you don't want to go up? The man asked rhetorically.

"I ...... I don't want to go up. The captain still spoke in a tough tone. But the confidence is not so sufficient.

Tie Ge sighed, a little regretful.

Although the problem of food and cold protection was solved, there was still a lot of lack in Tiege's fleet. For example, although I had a lot of fish oil in reserve, I used it and almost ran out. The night time here in Antarctica is long, and there is no fish oil to light the lamp, which is always a little inconvenient. Sometimes it's cold. It's also good to burn a brazier to warm your hands.

Then there are ropes, wood, rivets, these things, the more they are prepared, the longer they hold on to the sea, they are also in urgent need.

So Tie Ge sent a request to the god king for sea trade.

Trade at sea is an ancient custom between fleets at sea, as long as they both fly the banner of trade, the crews on both sides can board each other's ships, look at each other's goods, and then close the ships to trade.

Normally, there is no such thing as a black trade at sea, even if you are trading with pirates.

Tiege's fleet lacked basically everything except food, and if he didn't trade with another fleet, he would have to face many difficulties, even unimaginable.

Leaving land, no fleet could be self-sufficient.

The opposite flotilla was an exception.

They were able to use silver steel, which only alchemists can do, and they built ship after ship out of silver steel......

After Tianming heard Tie Ge's words, he smiled and said to him: "I promised to trade with you, but I am afraid that you will not be able to take out goods of equivalent value and trade with us." ”

Tie Ge said with great joy: "Your Majesty, your wealth is incomparable, and the things we have may not be as good as your little thumb, but there are always some things that you can look at, and you will definitely like them." ”

Sure enough, the next day, Tianming saw a lot of things that were pleasing to his eyes:

Large round pearls, large agate, dragon incense with a special fragrance, agarwood, as well as the fish bones of some mysterious fish, the seeds of various sea tree plants, etc., are strange and all-encompassing.

Most of these things, except for a few on Tiege's own ship, are on other ships.

The captain of a ship brought out a very strange coral tree; There was also the captain of a ship who took out a full 10,000 gold doras, and even Tie Ge was dumbfounded.

With so many good things, Tianming naturally took them all, and Tie Ge also got what they wanted, clothes, fish oil, wood, rivets, and so on. Some people came to Tianming's material warehouse and took a fancy to things like washbasins, steel cups, towels, quilts, and silver steel daggers...... There are also thermos cups and thermos bottles, two things that can keep hot water warm for a day, and they asked for hundreds at once.

After successfully trading a few times, the people on Tie Ge's side basically took out the things they could take out, along with the things under the ballast, and they were soon hollowed out, and they basically changed to what they needed, but they all felt very uncomfortable.

The reason is to show friendliness. Tianming invited the captains of more than 300 ships, including Tie Ge, to visit several of his ships, including the Lidong Ark, which entered the city like a dirt bun, and they were dazzled by it.

A captain pointed to an energy-saving lamp tube on the ceiling of the corridor and asked curiously, "What kind of lamps are these?" It's too bright. ”

Hundreds of captains finished urinating in the toilet: "It's amazing, this toilet is amazing." ”

After seeing the crew cabin inhabited by the Blue Star people on the ship, they set off a storm in their hearts: "The place where we live is not so good, these people ......"

Climb aboard the legendary ark and look east and west. But when he heard Tianming's words, he said in shock: "I don't plan to use this ark anymore, I plan to build a flying ark, this flying ark will send everyone to a safe place, including all ships." ”

"Yes...... An aircraft carrier that can fly, this ...... Is this possible? "All the captains were stunned.

Tianming smiled: "When the time comes, you will be able to see it, I still say the same thing, only those who believe in me." to be saved. ”

Tie Ge said with a gloomy face: "Your Majesty, Honorable God King, I think we have seen almost everything, and we should go back." ”

"Went back so early? My chef has prepared a sumptuous dinner for you, so let's go after eating. ”

"No need. Let's go now. ”

The development of things later was completely unexpected by Tie Ge.

A few days later, the first ship broke away from his formation and died in the darkness of night. After rowing the boat to the opposite side, the captain knelt in front of Tianming and said, "Honorable God King Xià, we are willing to offer our faith. Just ask you to keep your word. ”

"Good! No problem, because you are the first to join me on your own initiative, and you will be qualified to live on a big ship! ”

"Great, thank you, Your Majesty the God King, thank you!" The captain was thankfully taken down by Cooper and arranged a place to stay.

In Tianming's fleet, there are several living ships that are not yet full, and he asked Cooper to arrange these more than 100 people into the crew cabin of the living ships that are not full, and the treatment is the same as that of the Blue Star people here, with two sets of clothes and quilts per person, and all living items, and many people fainted happily on the spot.

If there is one, there will be two, if there is two, there will be three, and if there is three, there will be infinity.

After 18 ships "smuggled" from here to there, Tie Ge panicked and hurriedly took emergency measures to strictly prevent this kind of behavior from happening again. Even, the crew of a ship that failed to "smuggle in" and was caught back in the middle of the way adopted severe punishment measures, and after whipping them violently, warned them: "If you run over there again, cut off your heads." ”

Smuggling has been put an end to it for the time being.

But after a week of stability, suddenly, there was a rumbling sound from there, Tie Ge ran to the bow of the ship to take a look, and was immediately stunned, a huge black iron cube was hoisted into the air by a strange device, and the six discs kept making loud noises, fanning the air current, and the entire sea surface was set off by a violent wind and waves.

"This, such a heavy thing, actually flying?" Tie Ge couldn't believe it.

Then, rumors began to spread, and the news that "the god-king on the other side will build a flying ark" spread, and the phenomenon of smuggling appeared again, and five ships took off that night.

And this time, 10 ships were taken away at once.

Elder Qiduo persuaded: "Tie Ge, you also believe in that god king, when he builds a flying ark, when you want to join, you won't get a good position." ”

Tie Ge said angrily, "My ancestors have never believed in the God King since the last era, and they haven't survived the end safely? I don't need to believe in a god-king to live. ”

Elder Seven shouted, "But Goo Gu is already old, it is already more than 300 years old, and it no longer has the strength to help you survive the end times!" ”

"I~" Tie Ge also felt a burst of sadness in his heart, he took over the fleet from his father, and now it has been more than 20 years, the fleet has expanded from 100 ships to nearly 1,000 ships, and the prestige of the "Tiege Fleet" is almost unknown to everyone at sea...... But I didn't expect that now I am facing a scene of falling apart.

The captains continued to argue, and slowly split into two camps, and Tiego was horrified to find that only a few of his uncles and uncles were still on his side and opposed to joining the god-king opposite, and even his uncles were in the camp that wanted to join the god-king.

"Boom, boom!"

"What sound?" Everyone was stunned.

At this time, the roar outside became louder and louder, and it was so big that it was earth-shattering, and several soldiers ran in in a panic and said, "It's not good, it's not good!" The ark that can fly has flown up, and it's really going to fly! ”

"What?" Tie Ge and the others immediately ran out of the captain's room, rushed to the bow deck, and were immediately unsteady by the gust of wind, but their eyes were fixed on the huge white monster ship in the distance, slowly, watching it surface, rise, and then leave the water, and finally rise to a hundred meters in the air, flying straight into the distance.

The seven elders walked over slowly, and said to Tie Ge, who was standing at the bow of the boat, "Tie Ge, join him, the leader of a small village, it is not a shame to submit to a powerful king. On the contrary, you will gain more glory, even more than you can create zào. ”

Tie Ge didn't speak, there was nothing else in his eyes, just the ship that was still flying in the air.

When the flying ark returned to the surface, there was a loud cheer from above, which resounded throughout the bay, including everyone in both fleets.

A warship drove from the opposite side, and several people came down from the ship, and when the first person boarded the "Tiege", he took out a stack of red invitations from his inner pocket, and said to Tiege and the captains: "Captain Tiege, in order to celebrate the success of the 'Flying Ark', my lord Light God King Xià will hold a grand celebration dinner tonight, my master, invite you to come too." ”
