"You said there were pirates in the Western Sea?"

When he heard the news, Caesar was lying on the ground playing cards with Big Eyeball, and Corgi, who has the memory of a god's mind, is very talented in this regard, although he has not been learning for a long time, he has been able to play back and forth with the black dragon, and he is the only guy who can make Caesar really fight with his heart.

It is not uncommon for pirates to exist in the Western Sea, as the outlet of the Black Wing Empire, the route of countless huge maritime trades, and it is understandable that bloodthirsty skeleton flags come to the wind, Schiller once described in an opera: "Sometimes they are adventurers, mercenaries, sometimes thieves, robbers." Once they see the shadow of profit, their hearts will float, and if the profit exceeds 50%, they will dare to take risks; If it is more than 100 percent, they can trample on all the laws of the world. And when it exceeds 300 percent, they dare to commit any crime, even if it is on the gallows. ”

Therefore, even if the Black Wing Empire has repeatedly carried out iron-blooded strikes, it still cannot wipe out the pirate groups in the Western Sea, these skeleton flags will always emerge from all corners, and the fight against pirates has now become the daily work of the maritime department, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.

Because this disturbs me to play cards. The black dragon snorted twice and shook his head, feeling a little annoyed.

"Not ordinary pirates, they have organized, planned attacks on our ships, and these guys ...... Not human. First Captain, Clondo Statham, whispered under the throne.

"Really?"

Caesar faced up to the words, ended the game, put the cards away and sorted them out, and inserted them into the gap between the scales of his chin: "Tell me about it." ”

"They are all species that live in the sea, amphibian fish-people, skeleton sharks, arthropod reptiles, and super-giant sea beasts, which move east of the windless zone, and do not cross the Velluster boundary sea."

"They attacked all the merchant ships and transports that passed by and looted the cargo and left no one alive," Clendo said. Three days ago, these guys also attacked our military port in the Doon Islands. Afterwards, we launched an all-out search and found that they had built a fortress that was half in the water and half on land in the seclusion of Jiaoyan Island in the first sea area. ”

"This is what our spellcaster observed, the emblem of the fortress." As he spoke, Crondo reached out and took out a canvas from his sleeve pocket with a few pale waves of dancing on it.

"Deep Sea Nation." Corgi floated over, waving his tentacles and staring at the emblem, "The enemy of the empire on which the sun never sets, how did you get here." ”

"They made peace." Caesar grinned and showed sharp teeth: "Seeing the benefits brought from Veloster, the Immortal Empire must be very blushing." Now, these sea tribes have become their weapons against us. ”

The name of the Deep Sea Country seems a little unfamiliar to the Northlanders, but this does not mean that it is the kind of small country with no name, on the contrary, the Deep Sea Country has left a lot of pen and ink in history, they were once very strong, as early as the end of the First Age of Eladia, there were traces of Sea Clan activities on the continent, and in the first seven hundred years of the beginning of the Second Age, this country that constantly invaded the continent was the main opponent of the Akaron Orc Dynasty.

The talents of the sea races may not be as outstanding as those of the land creatures, and the intelligence and creativity are not comparable to those of the elves, dwarves and humans, but most of them have innate strong physiques, and with the current-friendly bloodlines in their bodies, the sea tribes have a unique advantage over spellcasters in manipulating waves and storms - they are far more able to control the unpredictable water and wind elements than land creatures, and their combat ability will be maximized on the surface of the sea.

"What should we do? Do you want to establish a communication? Clondo asked.

"The other party's intentions are already quite obvious, so there is no need to ask more. What's more, even if you want to communicate, it's only after you've done it. Caesar said lightly: "Send the fleet to deal with it, if it stays there, those weapons will have no point of existence." ”

Black Dragon ordered Hogg to arrange the departure of the Northern Fleet while Crondo took over the command of the fleet.

"It's better to be cautious." The big eyes floated over, and the tentacles turned a few gold-plated elegy cards while saying quietly: "The deep sea countries are not small countries that have risen recently, they have a long history, and in the depths of the realm that no one knows, there may be living benthic demon fish, more than one. ”

"Benthic devilfish?" Caesar scratched his chin.

He hadn't seen this species, but he had turned to it on the last few pages of the Eladia Bestiary, a cruel and cunning aquatic species, which was named a fish, but was not actually a fish, but a boneless soft predator like a squid.

In some ways, benthic mobs have more talent and growth potential than dragons, they will inherit all the knowledge of their predecessors at birth, and they can also absorb memories from their digested prey, which makes benthic mobs all hunters who love to prey and devour, and have a very high degree of intelligence.

The benthic devilfish generally enslave a large number of aquatic creatures, and in some southern folklore, they are the kings of the deep sea country.

Caesar recalled all the information about the species in his head, making sure that nothing had been missed, and then came back to his senses.

"I see, arrange for the fleet to sail." He still insisted on giving orders to Hogg, and then turned to Clendor and said, "Dispose of the fortress on Scorched Rock Island first, and report to the royal court in time if there are any other problems." ”

"Understood." Answers in unison.

Over the years, the Black Wing Empire has invested high military spending, the navy has never stopped the process of building warships, the strong industrial strength and technical reserves after the industrial revolution have given the Northland the ability to manufacture steel behemoths far beyond the current era, the ironclad ships of the Northern Fleet are completely made of wrought iron to build their hulls, and use all the new technologies of the Northland, including the magic guide system, steam sail hybrid, large-caliber breech gun, watertight bulkhead, propeller propulsion and broadside magic anti-armor, etc.

Now, after years of construction and replacement, the Blackwing Navy has been dispatched, the steam covering the sky, the sea has been torn apart by steel beasts, and under the control of seamen, sailors and division commanders, the Northern Fleet has set off from the steam in the bay and headed southwest in a spectacular formation.

[As an ordinary navigator, there are too many things in the sea that we can't resist, such as storms, such as sea monsters, when you see them, you can only choose to flee for your life. But if you're in the midst of a steel battleship, you'll find that you'll suddenly be able to confront them......... And defeat them! 】
