The East Dragon Empire, the coastline is extremely long, from north to south, there are four seas of the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and the South China Sea, hundreds of years ago, there were people who broke the law on the mainland fled to the sea and lived a life of exile, they lived by robbing fishing boats that went to sea, and were called pirates.

At the beginning, pirates were unorganized, the main purpose was to survive, but with the slow change of time, there were more and more pirates, from the previous unorganized, into organized gangs, no longer limited to robbing fishing boats going to sea, and even fighting with lone merchant ships and sailor warships, and even directly logging in and attacking coastal villages.
For the harm of pirates, the emperors of the Eastern Dragon Empire were very headaches, and they also formed a sailor to exterminate it, but they gained little and lost a lot, which has something to do with the fact that the emperors of the Donglong Empire did not attach importance to the sailors, because the previous Donglong Emperors were only limited to military power on land, and they thought that the sea was the end of the road after all, and it was not worth paying attention to, and it was precisely because they thought that when the Dongying Empire attacked, the sailors of the Donglong Empire were simply vulnerable!
Since the civil strife in the Eastern Dragon Empire, the number of pirates has also increased day by day, and some large pirate groups even have tens of thousands of people, and their strength is amazing, which has also suffered the common people in the coastal areas.
Originally a tree-lined island of no more than two square kilometres, it was originally a nameless island, but it had taken on a new name seven years ago when dozens of people landed on it.
The Xuanyan Pirate Group is the master of this island, a total of more than 300 people, except for a small number of people who enlisted in the army, the others are all ruthless characters who bear innocent lives, they rob past merchant ships and fishing boats in this area, and they are a well-known pirate group, of course, but the reputation is not good.
Xuanyan Island has this warship, fifty percent new, I don't know how to get it, there are dozens of red horse boats, at the moment they are sorting out their utensils on the beach, planning to go out today to find some fat sheep, their favorite is to rob merchant ships, because robbing merchant ships, not only can you get wealth, the main thing is that there are women on every merchant ship, for them, the outlaws of the sea, the temptation of women to them is unimaginable.
"Big boss, there is news that there is a fleet that will depart from Jiangsu and sail to Goryeo, should we make a vote?" Standing in the cabin of the warship, three middle-aged people gathered together, they were the three leaders of the Xuanyan Pirate Regiment.
"Oh? What are their specifications? How's it going? Wang Xuan, the big boss, was interested, looked at Yang Hai, the third master, and said.
The other second-in-command named Shi Yan also looked at Yang Hai, and it was obvious that they were very interested in the caravan.
Yang Hai smiled and said: "I heard that it is a famous trading house in Suzhou, which went to Goryeo to sell ceramics, and there are more than ten large and small ships, but there are two hundred guards!" ”
"More than 200 guards? It seems that the value of this caravan is very great, and a dozen ships, just our three hundred or so people, I am afraid that they may not be able to eat. Shi Yan said thoughtfully.
Nodding, Wang Xuan said: "Yes, such a caravan can only be taken by those pirate groups with more than three warships, and we are still a little worse!" Although Wang Xuan was very enthusiastic about the caravan, he knew that this caravan was somewhat beyond his expectations, and it was not something that the Xuanyan Pirate Group could eat now, even if it could win the caravan, I am afraid that it would have to pay a painful price, which was a bit more than worth the loss, after all, it was not easy for these more than 300 people to pull it up.
"Do you want to let them go?" Yang Hai, the third master, said with some unwillingness, "With such a huge caravan, I'm afraid that many women and brothers will be uncomfortable during this time, and if they don't find some women to vent, I'm afraid they will all have to rebel." ”
Shi Yan nodded and said: "What the third child said makes sense, there were some women on the island before, but those rabbit cubs were impatient one by one, and they couldn't stand up to many people, and they all died after they were finished. ”
Wang Xuan also felt a headache, and said: "No way, we can go to the coastal villages of Weihai County to catch some women before, but now the coastal area seems to be occupied by the Han army, and many of our brothers have not come back after going ashore, not that it is rumored that the Dongying Water Division was defeated in the hands of the Han army, so we can't be cautious!" ”
In fact, not only the Xuanyan Pirate Regiment, but also many nearby pirate groups that had logged in Weihai County were attacked, forcing them to give up their login, and because of this, many pirate groups hated the new Han army.
"Big boss, you said that after the Han army is strong, will it encircle and suppress us?" Yang Hai asked.
"Definitely!" Wang Xuan said with great certainty, "The leader of the Han army is very courageous, and he can defeat the Dongying people, naturally he is not an ordinary person, and the Dongying people have suffered defeat, according to the counterpart, they will come to retaliate, and then the two armies will have a battle, and when their battle is over, in order to consolidate their rule, the Han army will strike at us pirate groups!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Shi Yan and Yang Hai's faces were both sideways, and their expressions were full of melancholy, and it was obvious that they were all worried about this news.
Seeing the reaction of the two, Wang Xuan smiled and said: "You don't have to be nervous, although the Han army will come, at least it won't do it in a short time, because they want to preserve their strength to deal with the Dongying Empire, after a while, let's move to the south, there are a lot of fish and dragons over there, it's a good place to go!" ”
Hearing this, the faces of the two of them looked a little better, and Yang Hai just wanted to say something, when suddenly a rapid running sound also sounded on this deck.
"Big boss, no, there are a few big ships on the sea!" The door was opened, and a young man said to Wang Xuan with a pale face.
"Big ship?" Wang Xuan's brows furrowed and said, "What kind of big ship?" ”
The young man listened, and replied, "It's a big ship like ours!" ”
"It's a warship!" Shi Yan's face changed suddenly.
Yang Hai and Wang Xuan's expressions also became solemn, only to hear Wang Xuan continue to ask, "How many are there?" Can you see what flag is being fought? ”
"Qi Yu is a big boss, there are a total of eight big ships, forming a big circle and sailing here, with a big red flag on it, but the villain is illiterate, I don't know what it represents!"
"Eight warships!" Wang Xuan and the three of them gasped and glanced at each other, all of them finding each other in serious panic.
"Eight warships, only the Black Skull Pirate Group can handle them, but their banner is black, what is the origin of these eight warships?" Shi Yan said in a low voice.
"Let's go, let's go out and have a look, no matter where these ships come from, but I always have some bad feelings!" Wang Xuan said, walking towards the outside of the cabin!
