Zhou Bai described the scene of the naval battle to Lu Shuang, although Lu Shuang had not participated in the naval battle much, but he learned some information from Zhou Bai's description.

The White Shark Pirate Regiment that met that day was actually only a small force, but the lowest-ranking ships were all one-masted galleons, and the strength of the pirates was all fifth-order soldiers or above. Don't underestimate that a one-masted galleon is not as good as a four-masted galleon, and when a dozen ships surround one, the four-masted galleon is powerless. And the pirates themselves are rogue fifth-order soldiers, but some pirate groups have many fourth-order pirate minions, and there are not many real pirates.

"So, we don't have much chance of winning this White Shark pirate group?" Lu Shuang asked.

"My lord, don't bother the general." Zhou Bai was asked by Lu Shuang, and he didn't know how to answer, and said: "It's not that we have no chance of winning when we meet the White Shark Pirate Group, but we don't know their strength at all, and a lot of information is learned from the fishermen." With the current 200 four-masted galleons in Iron Sail Town, if they are equipped with catapults and ballistas, they may not be able to fight some powerful pirate groups. ”

"So, in addition to improving our own naval strength, our main task now is to find out as much information as possible about the White Shark Pirate Regiment?" Lu Shuang pondered.

"The last general also thinks so, and in the battles with some pirate groups, I learned that generally speaking, the stronger the pirate group, the stronger their overall strength, and the weaknesses and deficiencies will not be so easy to be discovered." Zhou Bai had fought a lot with the pirates, and knew a lot about their rules, and introduced: "The more powerful the pirate group, it is difficult for them to find loopholes in terms of overall strength level, level of warship, and heritage. The overall strength and the level of the warship are easy to understand, while the base represents the continuous combat capability of a pirate group. The powerful pirate group will store a lot of food and strategic materials, and it is not much advantage to fight a protracted war with them, and some of them have high-quality warships, which are even better than the four-masted sailing ships produced by our Iron Sail Town. We must understand all these clearly, otherwise rash action will only make the loss greater. ”

Zhou Bai said so much, in fact, he just wanted to tell Lu Shuang not to be too impulsive, the White Shark Pirate Group is not something that can be provoked casually, and he should think twice before acting.

How could Lu Shuang not hear the meaning of Zhou Bai's words, after all, this is the pirate group that has made all the NPC forces return, if it is so easily killed by the navy of Tiefan Town, it is not worthy of the most difficult of the prestige missions. Lu Shuang originally thought that with the increasing number of king-level generals in the territory, it would be no problem to complete a prestige task, but who knew that the object of this prestige task was pirates, but it was in the weakest area.

And as described, once a certain civilization appears in the field of vision of other civilizations, it may "shoot the first bird" and be invaded by other civilizations. Iron Sail and the White Shark Pirates are like two civilizations that don't know each other, and when the weaker side is exposed to the stronger side, they can face extinction. The team of the White Shark Pirate Regiment that Zhou Bai annihilated should not have exposed the location of Tiefan Town, and Lu Shuang is now thinking about how to send his subordinates to find out their information without startling the snake.

The direction was already very clear, and Lu Shuang's coming from afar this time was not to ask them to launch an attack immediately, but to discuss the possibility of attacking. Not so far, at least to find out the hiding place of the White Shark Pirate Group, whether you can win or not is another matter, whether you can find talent is the premise, not to mention that you can call a helper if you can't win.

Lu Shuang gave an order to Zhou Bai and other generals, sending soldiers to disguise themselves as fishermen or merchant ships who went out to fish, search for places in deeper seas, and report to him as soon as they found a pirate's nest. However, because you are searching farther away, you may encounter other pirates, so casualties are unavoidable, so be mentally prepared.

In addition to equipping the Tiefan Town Navy with more equipment and giving the generals enough Su Yuan Dan, Lu Shuang will invest more troops in building the navy. There are a total of one million people in the entire territory, and there are about 170,000 soldiers, and Lu Shuang plans to build a navy of 30,000 to 50,000 people, so that with four-masted galleons and long-range weapons, he may not be able to fight with the powerful pirate group. In fact, Lu Shuang had a bold idea in his heart, even if he lost all the Tiefan Town Navy, as long as he could win, it was still acceptable. The reason is that the cost of Lu Shuang to build a navy is actually not high, but the loot and rewards obtained after exterminating the White Shark Pirate Group are huge, and it makes people want to fight.

But Lu Shuang still held back, a single fight may become an aircraft carrier, but it is also possible that even the underpants will be lost.

After ordering everything, Lu Shuang exhaled and said, "Do the generals have anything else to say, if not, the meeting will be dismissed."

"Don't say it, lord, I almost forgot about it." Zhou Bai patted his head, he actually forgot a major event, and said with a smile: "It's such a lord, the soldiers of Tiefan Town unfortunately encountered a storm during a patrol, and were taken to an island by the storm. According to the soldiers, they walked for a long time after landing on the island and did not go around to the starting point, guessing that this island is a large island. The last general didn't dare to hide it, and was about to tell him, who knew that the lord would come over. ”

Got an island?

Lu Shuang's eyes lit up, if this island was really big enough as those soldiers said, wouldn't that mean that he could build his own rear base there?

The total area of all the territories of Feitian Town is actually nothing in Hailing County, and Hailing County is only a county in Guangling County, which is very small from the map. Lu Shuang remembered seeing on the map that there was a small island across the sea in Hailing County, although there was really only a small piece on the map, but the area was also larger than the current territory of Lu Shuang, if it could be taken for himself, it would be equivalent to a larger and more stable rear base.

The island is estimated to be an alluvial island, formed by the accumulation of sediment brought by the Yangtze River, and later changes in the vicissitudes of the sea, perhaps the more sediment accumulates, the more the coastline advances to the sea, and there is no trace of the island on modern Chinese maps.

"That's a good thing. Zhou Bai, does that soldier still know the route to the island? If I do find this island, I will be rewarded. Lu Shuang said excitedly.

"My lord, those soldiers didn't know where to go because they were brought by the storm." Zhou Bai's voice changed, and he said, "But when they returned, they kept going west, so this island is very likely to be east of Tiefan Town. I heard the old fisherman in the town say that there is indeed a small island in the east of Hailing County. ”

"That's very good."

Lu Shuang held his cheeks and thought, and the generals below saw that their lords had not left, and they all stayed in the conference room.

"Zhou Bai, I want to go and see that island, can you let those soldiers come and lead the way?" Lu Shuang said suddenly.

"Does the lord really want to go? Well, I'll call the soldier over. ”

The speed of the herald was very fast, and after a while, a herald entered with three seventh-order soldiers. When you encounter a storm at sea, you need a strong man to overcome the storm and survive.

After a brief introduction, Lu Shuang began to ask, "Did you find anything when you first landed on the island?" Let's say an island is inhabited? Or are there other people who were brought there by the storm? ”

The three seventh-order soldiers recalled very seriously, after all, this was an answer in front of their own lord, not for themselves, but also for the generals of Tiefan Town. One of the soldiers said with certainty: "My lord, my subordinates and two other comrades-in-arms didn't find anything when they landed on the island, and then we thought that the island might be inhabited, so we walked along the coastline. It stands to reason that people who live on the island will have some wharves and other buildings, but after walking for a long time, they have no choice but to return the same way and find a way to repair the ship and return to the sea. ”

Seeing that Lu Shuang was still a little puzzled, the soldier added: "My subordinates have been to Kelu Island before, and the small island is quickly finished, but one of my subordinate comrades-in-arms went in from the middle to see if there were any residents and looked for some help, but I didn't see the end of my journey, so I had to give up."
