At the southernmost point of the Sea of Arubania as the Arubanian people call it the Sea of Arubania and the Yaqui call it the Narrow Sea, about seven hundred miles south of Port Portsmo, it is at the heart of the Narrow Sea. Through this narrow sea area, you can directly enter the Sindra Sea, in the geographical position it is in the original territory of Palchi, but it belongs to the remote coastal uninhabited area, this strategic point does not have any country to set up a stronghold here, mainly due to two reasons: first, it is in Palchi, under the jurisdiction of the Arkee country, Palch can not build a foothold to the sea at will without the permission of Palchi, and Arkhe will not go all the way to Palchi to build a remote stronghold; The second is that this area is too barren, there are no materials needed to build a stronghold, and there is no food to feed the garrison in the stronghold. Therefore, after hundreds of years, this important stronghold turned out to be empty.

But this is no longer the case, a force that set foot here a few years ago, and has managed to build a small stronghold here, which is not yet able to moor ships, but can stock up on supplies and supply the sea by short barges.

It was not any country that accomplished this epoch-making feat, but a group of maritime merchants: the Li family merchant group. The leader of this matter is Elda, the current acting head of the Li family business group.

Elda is now Chinese New Year's Eve one year old, and in terms of his abilities, he is the most suitable person to inherit the Li family's business group in addition to Li Tianhao. At the beginning, he was trained by his father Cha Helu as the chief steward of the Li family's business group, so he was even more suitable than Li Tianhao to run the Li family's business group in some aspects, and after a series of changes, fate really handed over this important task to him. And the price he has to pay is to help the young master Li Tianhao complete his revenge at all costs.

So, despite the difficulties. Elda also established a stronghold in this place, which was later called the "Golden Garden" because it was established regardless of the cost. That's because Elda is not interested in human, material and financial resources, but on the important strategic position of this stronghold, with which it can hold the throat of the Narrow Sea, so as to achieve the goal of completely blockading the merchant fleet of the Yaqui Kingdom.

At the same time as the construction of the Jinting stronghold, Elda also exerted his maritime combat capabilities, using the armed forces and financial resources of the Li family merchant group to successfully exterminate many pirates in the Sindra Sea, and from them, he co-opted some pirates to become his own combat power, thus strengthening the Li family merchant group's professional talents in plundering merchant ships. With the help of these experienced pirates. Coupled with the financial support of the Li family's merchant group, a huge army of sea raiders appeared. Nowadays, the maritime trade in the east of Yaqui has been almost completely cut off, and only a very small number of small ships that are considered unprofitable can pass through, and the Golden Court is called the Golden Court because of the countless looted gold and silver treasures and abundant goods gathered here.

Elda's approach of course drew the resentment of many of the merchant elders, and his arbitrariness led to a radical change in the Li family's merchant group in the past six years—the trade routes that had been focused on the East began to shrink, while the profits of the Sindra Sea area increased exponentially. Faced with the dissatisfaction of the elders, Elda suppressed it with Li Tianhao's handwritten letter, in Elda's own words. The more he strengthens the profits of Sindra, the more likely he is to fulfill the young master's wish as soon as possible, so as to restore the trade balance of the Li family's merchant group as soon as possible, so the temporary inconvenience must be overcome. Now in Elda's hands gathered a fleet of ships the size of any national fleet on the shores of the Sindra Sea. This even includes ten giant warships built from the faraway Silk Country, the Outer Ships, which are hybridized and do not lose power even when there is no wind. And it's huge, like a sea fortress. Except that the situation is extremely stable, there is no ship in the entire Sindra Sea that can compete with it.

After having a fleet of such a large size. It stands to reason that Eldar is more than capable of confronting the Arqui fleet head-on, but he doesn't. The reason is very simple, he is waiting for the young master to make enough progress from the land, if the port is captured before the young master besieges the port of Maranster from the land, then the young master's revenge will become empty words, in order to fulfill the promise of killing his father's enemy with the young master, Elda is now waiting.

Now that he had plenty of time, Eldar began to refocus on his business, sending some of his ships to trade in the Sindra Sea to make more profits, while he continued to lead a corps of pirate groups to continue the raiding of the Yaki fleet.

However, that all changed fifteen days ago. Fifteen days earlier, Elda's raiding detachment had been wiped out. They fell for the Yaqui people's trick and pursued a Yaqui merchant ship laden with cargo, only to be surrounded by the Yaqui fleet, and the entire sub-fleet was wiped out, with less than a cent of them surviving.

At this time, Elda realized that he had made a big mistake - the Yaqui people finally couldn't bear to prepare to solve the piracy problem with all their might, and at such a critical time, he couldn't use his maximum combat power to face it, which was a disaster!

The only consolation is that the defeated ships did not directly return to the Jinting stronghold, so the location of the Jinting stronghold is still a secret for the time being. Elda urgently ordered the recall of all ships in the field in preparation for a showdown with the Yaki fleet.

In the midst of his anxious waiting, he welcomed a group of unexpected guests. That's the little treasure hunt team led by Nisinis.

In this treasure hunt team, Alam and Elda are old acquaintances, and he is not familiar with the other Eglius, Brooks, and Mokado, but he has known about Nisinis for a long time - Elda, unlike Li Tianhao, is a very god-fearing person, and he has heard of Nisinis's name as a Paz man.

Since Nisinis' first treasure hunt is in Arubania, Elda is needed to send them across the Narrow Sea. Originally, this matter wanted to get rid of Alina in Port Potsmo. Governor of Lorraine, but Nisinis has indicated that they must stop by the Golden Court stronghold once, so Alina can only arrange for a ship to send them there.

Elda, of course, had a big feast and fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, and after the guests and hosts were happy, Elda immediately arranged the itinerary of the group, and before parting, Nisinis suddenly grabbed Elda's hand and said to him in her old voice: "Elda, Lord Elda, the old body has given you a word of advice, please remember." Don't just focus on the sun's rays and ignore the moon, the red lotus flames flying in the sky are the most dangerous key. ”

Faced with these two clueless words, Elda could only respectfully say "taught", and then sent them out to sea.

Elda didn't know at this time that these two words would be fulfilled anytime soon, and she didn't know that the Yaki fleet had discovered the location of the Golden Court stronghold. (To be continued.) )
