Chapter 120: The White Shark Pirates

Lu Shuang was fortunate to find a way to advance as a ninth-order soldier, but the matter of cultivating internal strength could not be rushed, and it needed to be carried out step by step. Moreover, cultivating internal strength requires internal strength cheats, and now the huge monster camp in the entire territory is not enough to support so many soldiers to cultivate a complete set of internal strength.

Now Lu Shuang has removed the internal strength cheats for the generals to use, and there are probably less than fifty sets of internal strength cheats left, which can only be used by fifty soldiers at most in a short time. However, fortunately, there are a lot of primary internal strength and intermediate internal skills, which can allow soldiers to practice primary internal strength and intermediate internal strength first, and then use them if there are more advanced internal skills and special internal skills in the future.

Because the cost of cultivating a ninth-order soldier is very high, almost the same as that of a general, Lu Shuang decided to only let the S-qualified soldiers in the Danyang Qing Soldiers cultivate internal strength. First, their qualifications are high, and their cultivation speed is much faster than that of A-level ones; Second, the Danyang Qingbing is a high-level special soldier, and the combat effectiveness is stronger under the same ninth-order soldiers.

At present, there are not many particularly important things in the territory for Lu Shuang to complete in person, and no one in the outside world dares to come to King Kong Town to spread wilderness, Lu Shuang plans to take advantage of this free time to complete those two prestige tasks.

Once the two scrolls containing the prestige quest are opened, it means that the quest has officially begun, and until they are opened, others do not know what the quest is inside, and can only judge the difficulty of the quest according to the color of the scroll.

Lu Shuang was holding a scroll in his left and right hands, and he didn't know which one to open first. However, he had to complete both tasks, and it was just a matter of priority, so he casually opened the scroll in his right hand and immediately received a prompt from the system:

"System prompt: You have received a junior prestige mission to exterminate the White Shark Pirates. Hailing County is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and once had a developed shipbuilding, fishing and commerce, but in recent years, a powerful pirate group, the White Shark Pirates, has emerged in the East China Sea, who have done all kinds of evil, destroying warships, robbing merchant ships, and even the settlements near the sea have to face the plundering of the pirates. The county government has launched an attack on the White Shark Pirates, but they have all failed.

Requirements: In the first stage, find out the hiding place of the White Shark Pirate Regiment; In the second stage, complete the task of exterminating the pirate group alone. Rewards: Complete the first phase of the task and assist the county government to send troops to exterminate it, and get different official positions according to the completion of the task; By completing the second phase of the mission, you can get the county guard's appreciation and report to the state pastor, get all the loot, and gain the opinion of all non-hostile power chambers of commerce.

Task Punishment: Failure to exterminate the White Shark Pirate Regiment, all seaside territories will be plundered endlessly by the White Shark Pirate Regiment, and the friendship of Hailing County will decrease. ”

Lu Shuang read it for a few minutes before reading this system prompt, not because he read the words slowly, but because he read them carefully word by word, and did not dare to miss any details.

Regarding the introduction given by this prestige task, Lu Shuang finally understood why Hailing County, as a county near the sea, has a very developed shipbuilding and transportation industry. Local officials also wanted to vigorously develop the shipbuilding and transportation industries, but they were sabotaged by a pirate group named White Shark, and gradually declined.

There is no detailed data on the strength of this White Shark Pirate Regiment, but it can be seen from the incident that the navy of Guangling County Government faced them all with a feather and returned home, how terrifying the strength of this White Shark Pirate Group is.

Due to the lack of a clear comparison of strength, Lu Shuang is not sure whether the navy in the territory can be the opponent of the White Shark Pirate Regiment, because although the White Shark Pirate Regiment is fierce and powerful, the navy on Lu Shuang's side has four-masted sailing ships, building ships and catapult ballistas, and in terms of equipment, it is not inferior to anyone.

It's just that sometimes fighting a naval battle doesn't mean that you have a chance of winning if you are ahead of the equipment, these powerful pirate groups generally have hundreds of thousands of pirates, and with a navy of less than 20,000 in Tiefan Town, there may be a danger of being dumpled in a fight.

Lu Shuang didn't know the bottom in his heart, his idea was that since there was no time limit for this prestige task, it would not be too late for him to delay it for a while. The king-level shipbuilders in the territory have just been promoted to the emperor level, and they are not very proficient in the manufacturing technology of the building ship, and before the proficiency comes up, the growth rate of the building ship will be very slow, unless there are other king-level shipbuilders who have also been promoted.

The same is true for emperor-level carpenters, the proficiency of medium-sized catapults and medium-sized ballistas is not high, and the output cannot keep up in a short period of time. Although a small one is fine, Lu Shuang definitely wants to face the White Shark Pirate Group in the best condition, and no one can be sure that the White Shark Pirate Group does not have these things, what if others also have a lot of catapults and ballistas?

The most critical point is that Zhou Bai and other generals in charge of Tiefan Town are still special-level generals, they have not been in Feitian Town for a long time, and they can't enjoy the treatment of the practice room, only Suyuan Dan can make up for it a little, and it is estimated that it will take a month or two for them to be promoted to king-level generals.

Judging from Lu Shuang's experience of fighting three third-level cottages, the strength of his leader will not be lower than that of a king. And there is a big difference between naval and land warfare, which can be seen from ordinary barracks and naval barracks. In this case, can it be proved that military generals also have specialties in different fields? Like Wang Yue Zangba and others, their strength is naturally undoubted, but once they arrive at sea, they may not be able to exert their strength, which is not as advantageous as the pirates who have lived at sea for a long time, and the same is true for the generals of the pirate group.

Lu Shuang is not a person who is prone to brain fever, especially after more than three months of training, which has made him more able to calm down and think. The rewards of this prestige task are very tempting, especially when you get an official position, which seems to have no substantial gain, but getting one official and two positions in the game means that you can blend into the NPC power circle and be a little more confident when you meet celebrities from the Three Kingdoms.

The reward for the second stage of the task is also good, and it can be appreciated by the county guard, which is equivalent to building a good relationship with a local official, and it will be much easier to do anything. And to get all the loot, although it is to Lu Shuang to exterminate all the White Shark pirates alone, it is reasonable for him to monopolize all the spoils, but you must know that this is a pirate, the wealth from robbery and plunder must be very rich, and the wealth they obtained through illegal means belongs to Lu Shuang. Even if the game currency exchange is opened in the future, the major guilds will invest a lot of money in it, and they will not be as rich as Lu Shuang.

As for the last reward, it may be that Lu Shuang's extermination of the White Shark Pirate Group has protected the route of the Yangtze River Delta, and the people of other chambers of commerce can transport goods here without having to be harassed by pirates, which is in the interests of the chamber of commerce, which improves the favorability of Lu Shuang.

These rewards really met Lu Shuang's appetite, but Lu Shuang still held a steady hand, and he would not act easily without 100% certainty, and was ready to send more people to find out their details.

Coming to Tiefan Town again, it has undergone great changes, the streets that were rarely walked on are full of people, and the barren grass is planted with crops, just like the scene of a port city.

After more than two months of development, Tiefan Town has become a township with 30,000 residents and 20,000 defenders, and the prosperity of the entire territory can be ranked.

Lu Shuang couldn't remember the last time he came over, but it had been at least a month and a half. This time, in addition to bringing Su Yuandan and warships, etc., he mainly talked to Zhou Bai and them about the navy and pirates.

When the huge ship docked at the dock, the soldiers on the pier let out a burst of exclamation, this was the first time they had seen the boat. The most intuitive difference between the building ship and the four-masted sailing ship is that the building on the deck of the ship is particularly tall, and in modern words, the building ship is like an aircraft carrier.

The building is high, which can be used for long-range attacks and melee combat, and can also carry catapults and ballistas, and the building is higher, so the range of the soldier's arrow will be longer than that of ordinary warships. Since ancient water warfare was mostly based on bow and arrow shooting, ship collision and gang jumping, the size of the ship directly determined the number of sailors and warriors that a single ship could accommodate and the impact force of the ship, and a building ship could accommodate at least 2,000 soldiers. In ancient times, the building ship served as the main ship of water warfare to a large extent, but it was rare in "The Real World", who made the number of emperor-level shipbuilders so scarce.

Because the center of gravity of the building ship is on the top, the ability to resist wind and waves is actually insufficient, Lu Shuang only brought a building ship over, if it is an expedition to the open sea, it is still mainly a four-masted sailing ship.

"Wow lord, you actually brought this big guy here." As soon as Lu Shuang got off the boat, he heard Zhou Bai's voice.

"What, like it? If you like it, I'll give it to you, and I'm not impressed. Lu Shuang joked.

"Don't dare to move, don't dare to move." Zhou Bai hurriedly shook his head and said.

"Zhou Bai, you have gathered all the generals who are still in Tiefan Town, I have something to tell you." Lu Shuang said business.

Except for the generals who went out on patrol, most of them were on call in the barracks or training soldiers, and soon all the generals who were available were called to the conference room of the barracks.

Seeing many new faces, Lu Shuang knew that most of these people had been transferred to military generals through the naval barracks, and their combat effectiveness was stronger than that of ordinary generals on the water with the same force value.

"Generals, I heard on the way here that you have cleared all the pirate regiments in the nearby waters within a month or two, and the fishermen and Iron Sail Town have not been attacked by pirates. I am pleased with your efforts and express my heartfelt thanks on behalf of all the inhabitants of the Territory. After a round of applause, Lu Shuang continued: "In view of the more difficult task ahead, I have brought a lot of catapults and ballistas from Feitian Town, and there is one thing, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a reward for you. ”

Lu Shuang took out a Suyuan Pill from his backpack and placed it on the conference table. In fact, the output of Suyuan Dan is a lot, but because Tiefan Town is too far away, Lu Shuang didn't take care of it at that time, and there are many generals who have not enjoyed Suyuan Dan.

"This is a Swift Yuan Pill, and the effect is to increase the user's cultivation speed by three times, and the time lasts for five hours. Today I brought it to every general, everyone has a share, two Suyuan Dan per person per day, and you can register and receive it at the munitions depot later. Lu Shuang saw that the excited generals suddenly talked about it, and interrupted loudly: "Generals, listen to me." ”

The military general who was discussing realized that he was interjecting, and quickly shut up and listened to Lu Shuang's speech.

"These Suyuan Pills are my reward to you, and they are also preparing for the next tasks, you must quickly improve your strength." Lu Shuang continued,

"Lord, dare to ask what that task is? Can you tell us about it?" asked Zhou Bai.

"This mission is related to a pirate group called White Shark, I don't know if you've heard of it."

As soon as Lu Shuang finished speaking, the faces of the generals in the conference room changed, they were originally very excited, and they all became very silent and serious.

"Why, have you all heard of this pirate group?" Lu Shuang asked.

"My lord, the White Shark Pirate Regiment has not only heard of it, it is simply like thunder." Zhou Bai smiled bitterly: "In a larger and farther sea, there is this pirate group, and the residents of Tiefan Town are very afraid of this pirate group, our Tiefan Town is lucky not to be discovered by them, otherwise it will be miserable." ”

"Are they really that strong?" When Lu Shuang looked at them, he felt that things might be more serious than he thought.

Zhou Bai nodded, and said, "The last general once led his army to fight with a small group of people, although their pirates are not as good as our navy in Tiefan Town, but they are many of them, and they are quite proficient in water warfare, and it took us a lot of effort to annihilate them at that time." According to the old fishermen, there were hundreds of thousands of pirates in their lair, each of whom was extremely vicious, and I heard that several of their leaders were king-level generals and could not be provoked. ”
