"Welcome to the Fishman Kingdom of Savah, Your Excellency the Earl, His Majesty the King has ordered his ministers to come down and entertain you, and tomorrow we will change to a small boat and go to the capital."

Tucked away in the fjord, the harbour is surrounded by vast areas of saltwater marshes and mangroves, muddy land and salt-tolerant aquatic plants that hide aquatic predators such as crocodiles, a natural barrier against armed intrusion.

The idea of marching through waist-deep mud while beware of beast attacks and enemy counterattacks is enough to discourage any commander from taking the risk. A little farther away, the muddy coast is covered with dense mangrove forests, and the water that flows with the tide rises and falls, washing out a labyrinth of complex passages, which are the natural nursery of sharks, those "small fish" less than a meter long, whose teeth can already bite off the thin rope of the thumb, such a treacherous and complex terrain is no less deterrent to foreign enemies than the scorching heat of Wake Reef.

At this time, on the pier trestle, the minister of Shahua Fishman who came to greet Luo Zhengdao imitated the etiquette system of the Bright Dynasty and made a salute. It's just that the clothes that were originally very beautifully made were worn on the strange-looking Shahua Fish Man, and there was an indescribable sense of disobedience.

Subconsciously thinking of the impolite idiom of Mu Monkey and Guan, the corners of Luo Zhengdao's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he followed him to control his brain-opening thoughts, and bowed back and said:

"Thank you for your hospitality, and I hope that my sudden visit will not disturb His Majesty Akuru."

"Hehe, you are so polite, Lord Count. Your Majesty has commanded that you are a guest of honor of the kingdom at any time, please come with me. ”

Not too far from the pier, in the open space of Inner 6, a bamboo and wood structure stands out, and the post house was built to trade with pirates. Like all the other buildings in the land of the Fish-Man, the caravanserais resembles the stilted buildings common in the subtropics of the Old World, with a high ridge covered with a thick layer of golden thatch, which looks good from a distance.

In this humid and stuffy swampy environment, the stilted building above the ground can effectively avoid the infestation of moisture, and the living feeling is very cool and comfortable, but when people are active in it, they will inevitably hear a creaking sound when they step on it, and this insecurity will inevitably make Luo Zhengdao difficult to adapt. God knows if this thing is sturdy or not, if it will suddenly collapse, and what if someone sets fire to it outside? Luo Zhengdao was entangled in his heart for a while, and soon let go of these unnecessary worries, and he walked in the direction of the restaurant along the path made of thick wooden stakes that were deeply inserted into the mire.

This inn located on the border of the Sawa Fishman Kingdom is not specifically designed to receive VIPs, and the Sawa Fishman does not have many guests to be entertained, and all guests going to the capital of the Sawa Fishman must change their means of transportation at the station.

Large ships suitable for offshore navigation are in this kind of internal water environment such as rivers, lakes and swamps, and it is easy to get out of trouble if you are not careful, for example, it is trivial to say that the bottom of the ship is stuck in the mud and cannot move, and then provoke a swamp giant crocodile or something, and the unlucky person will not be able to eat and walk around. Therefore, regardless of the status of the visitor, they had to stop at this post station for a while, waiting for the special catamaran crowboat of the Sawa Fishman to take them to the kingdom.

"Will, these people are weird."

As soon as he entered the post house restaurant, a strange atmosphere quietly hit, and the people sitting at several tables nearby looked at Luo Zhengdao and his party openly or secretly. Feeling that she was being watched, Vina Dubov, a veteran adventurer, immediately woke up, and she muttered, Luo Zhengdao, who was interested in fishing, seemed calm, nodded and said:

"Well, ignore them, we'll just get ready."

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to eat the water, more than half of the area of the country of the Sawa Fishman is swampland, and it is all types of swamps including freshwater, brackish water and brackish water. As a result, the local ingredients are full of rich primitive flavors, such as roasted crocodile steak, grilled worms, and man-eating clams in milk soup, most of the dishes are already appetizing just by looking at the terrifying appearance, but instead of gnawing on the biscuits and salted meat that are overgrown with small black beetles and can be picked up directly as bricks and slapped on people's heads, the pirates still prefer to eat these local foods that are very strange in appearance and taste, even if the taste is equally bad, so they can adjust the taste!

There are many kinds of dishes, but they can never talk about a delicious meal, and after leaving the restaurant, the Yaling Overseer behind Luo Zhengdao suddenly spoke:

"Your Excellency, are those people ......?"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao already knew what Sariel Byrne was going to say, it was not his purpose to prevent trouble before it happened, this time he came out to swim, and luring the snake out of the hole was the hidden fishing hook, seeing that the fish were about to move, wouldn't it be useless to strengthen the guard? So, Luo Zhengdao waved his hand with a high degree of vigilance to interrupt Sariel's words, and said in a low voice:

"Ignore them, the situation in this place is very complicated, don't take the initiative to cause trouble. Oh, tell everyone not to take off their clothes when they go to bed at night, and to keep their weapons handy. ”

As the sun's projection faded little by little on the western horizon, the evening breeze blew from the sea, and the inn quickly quieted down, freed from the scorching heat of the day, and the sound of insects sounded in the ears of travelers. In this pleasantly quiet evening, it is the most comfortable time of the day, and the guests from afar have turned off their lights and gone to sleep. In the new world of cheap lighting and nightlife, it is normal to follow the rules of sunrise and sunset, except for those special creatures who are accustomed to day and night, the intelligent races are following this ancient and unpretentious schedule, and the night of the post station is quiet.

"Bang bang bang-"

"It's on fire! Hurry up and put out the fire! ”

Clay pots filled with oil exploded and burned one after another in the courtyard of the post station, and with the rumbling roar, fireballs several meters high sprinkled fire rain in all directions, and these ointments with flames ignited all the surrounding buildings, and the unfortunate stilted buildings turned into large torches with black smoke billowing in a blink of an eye. Bamboo, wood, and thatch, which are widely used as building materials, are flammable, and in the event of arson, the fire spreads so quickly that in the blink of an eye, a large area of the station becomes a terrifying place worthy of a hell's furnace.

The dazzling blazing fire illuminated the entire post station as bright as day, and Luo Zhengdao, who had been prepared, looked out from the window of the stilted building, a smile appeared on his face, and he waved to his subordinates and said:

"Don't go out, the fish bites, get ready for battle!"

Seeing this, Zola Hegel was stunned at first, he looked at Luo Zhengdao with wide eyes, and then as if he understood something, the boatswain, accustomed to seeing the conspiracy, muttered dissatisfiedly, and shouted to the crowd by the neck:

"What are you doing? Take out all the guys, don't you see that this is coming for us? ”

With that, Zola opened the backpack and quickly took out the shotgun inside for reloading. If you show that the enemy is weak, you don't need to prepare for battle, and this time, Luo Zhengdao armed his entourage to the teeth, just waiting for the enemy with ill intentions to throw himself into the net.

The shotgun that the pirates are currently equipped with is one of the by-products of Wake Reef's concentrated technical strength to develop the aircraft, because the small-caliber rotary gun used by the aircraft cannot adopt the traditional open flame ignition method, Luo Zhengdao can only accept the construction of two mage consultants, and after a series of tedious technical research, to create epoch-making fixed ammunition.

Replacing the striking material of the old world thunder mercury fire cap, it is an alchemy mixture with an extremely strange and lengthy name and quite expensive, this highly sensitive agent will explode instantly as long as it falls on the ground, and the power of the unit explosion is more than ten times more than that of stone pine powder, but the price is at least a hundred times more. Because this special alchemy mixture is too sensitive, it is neither easy to transport nor store, and if one is not good, it is much more pleasant to kill yourself than to kill the enemy. Since the formula of this mixture has been revealed, the application path is very limited, and no one has studied the promising goods in depth, and the price is certainly not close to the people.

Fortunately, when this mixture is used as a fire cap material, only a small amount of mixture needs to be added to each ammunition to ensure that the primer is successfully hit by the firing pin, which can be regarded as good news! Even so, the price of new ammunition has increased by more than 20 times, and Luo Zhengdao would not be willing to spend such a large price to equip new munitions if it were not for the fact that better performing weapons can save lives at critical moments.

"Click! Click! ”

The pirates in line pulled the handguard under the barrel of the gun to load the bullet, and Zola Hegel, who was holding a pipe, waved his hand nonchalantly and said:

"Prepare to do it, and whoever dares to touch it will shoot later, and you don't have to be polite to them."

Vena Dubov was really puzzled when she looked at today's scene, she gently pulled Luo Zhengdao's robe with her fingers, and whispered:

"Will, who's going to deal with you?"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao's smile became more mysterious, in fact, could he not know who was responsible for this incident? It is easy to guess if you want to ask the main messenger behind the scenes, who is in such a hurry to kill him, there is no one else except the goblin, so Luo Zhengdao laughed dryly twice and said:

"Don't be in a hurry, you'll find out later."

While they were talking, a pirate who was close to the crack in the floor and peeked out suddenly exclaimed, saying:

"Someone's coming!"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao shouted without thinking:

"Shoot, kill them!"

Hearing this, the pirates raised their new guns and fired wildly through the cracks in the windows, doorways, and exterior walls of the houses, and the rain of bullets was woven into a web of death, and at this time the people covered by this dense net of fire had already received invitations from the Reaper.
