"The west coast was attacked by pirates, both of our escort ships were sunk, the number of naval casualties was about thirty, and the number of killed and wounded among the people attacked was at least fifty or more, and the rest is unknown. 11 cargo ships were robbed, and the fate of the crew on board is unknown. ”

"What?!" Hearing the report from the Qiankun Mirror, Metropolitan Governor Zhou Sumeng was extremely shocked, "But, it's impossible, we have just fought with the pirates." How could they have moved on to the West Coast so quickly?! ”

Even now, he still can't forget what happened an hour ago—

These hateful and cunning pirates did not dock, but divided into multiple routes, circling from both sides to the rear.

Covered by the fog of the sea, it wasn't until the people who had retreated inland were robbed that the navy of the Dream Sword Kingdom reacted.

And just as they began to march to engage these pirates head-on, the other side divided their forces and withdrew from the blind spot of vision.

This battle was extremely aggrieved, and the other party knew the movements of the navy well, as if it was full of eyes in Yunmenggang.

The only reward is to kill 5 minions.

These pirates were obviously highly trained, and once captured, they would kill themselves immediately, not giving them any chance to force their arches at all.

The opposing ships were also extremely fast, and by the time the navy chased them, they had disappeared from the sea without a trace.

It's like you've never been here.

Only those who were robbed can clearly confirm that what happened just now is not a dream.

And now, less than an hour after all this happened, he actually received news from the West Coast, how could this not shock Zhou Sumeng.

The west coast is an important channel for the Dream Sword Country to reach the Immortal Sword Continent, and many large goods are coming in and out from there, not only the Dream Sword Country, but also the navies of the Chong Sword Country and the Lijian Country are heavily deployed there, in order to ensure trade exchanges.

Among them, the cargo ships coming and going are not only from the Dream Sword Country, but also countless large ships from all over the world.

Thinking of this, Zhou Sumeng had to admire that this group of pirates was really bold, weren't they afraid of being encircled and suppressed by the Three Kingdoms?

"It's a sound of sound." On the side, the Dream Sword Emperor Jian Bufeng's fingers tapped lightly on the table, calling Zhou Sumeng back.

He was very calm and calmly analyzed, "Our side is ready, the navy is far more powerful than that on the west coast, I'm afraid they have been eyeing that side for a long time, but it's a pity that we are still stupidly waiting here." ”

As the Dream Sword Emperor said, in fact, Yunmenggang didn't suffer much loss just now, they came and went quickly, and they didn't think about going head-to-head at all.

To some extent, this pirate operation is more like a temptation-

A test of the reaction speed and reconnaissance ability of the Dream Sword Navy.

It's a pity that they were indeed tempted, and the weaknesses of the Dream Sword Kingdom were exposed at a glance.

After that, these pirates will definitely be even more unscrupulous.

"That's right." Jian Bufeng's eyes lit up, and he cautiously looked around to make sure that there was no one, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Did the [squid] you sent out before hear back later?" ”

[Squid] refers to the undercover agent of the Dream Sword Kingdom Navy who is planted among the pirates.

In order to crack down on pirates, Zhou Sumeng discussed with Jian Bufeng as early as three years ago, formulated an undercover plan, and sent more than 30 elites before and after.

But Long Yaotian is very cunning, these undercover agents have died one after another, and until now, only one of them is still mixed in.

This is the only trump card they have that can completely turn the tables, so Zhou Sumeng instructed the other party not to contact unless it is absolutely necessary, so as not to be exposed.

"Back to Your Majesty." Hearing the Dream Sword Emperor's inquiry, Zhou Sumeng nodded and said with a solemn expression, "I received news from [Squid] a month ago, and the reason why Long Yaotian was so arrogant was because he had received a particularly powerful swordsmith under his command. But the origin of the swordsmith and what he did for Long Yaotian are not clear for the time being. ”

"That's ......" Jian Bufeng frowned, thinking to himself, if it really doesn't work, I'm afraid I can only ask for technical assistance from the Chong Sword Kingdom or the Heavenly Sword Kingdom.

"But," Zhou Sumeng smiled knowingly, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, my [squid] has already gained Long Yaotian's trust, and it won't be long before he sends over the location of the pirate's hiding den." At that point, we can take the initiative. ”

……

【Squid】Cao Junrong stood on the shore of the island, put his hand in the seawater, and felt the movement of the ocean current, the winter is about to pass, and the sea is about to warm.

Under the influence of the spring monsoon and the temperature difference between the north and the south, the sea water will flow from south to north, forming a seasonal warm current, and then together with the northern cold current in the north, it will form a convergence in the eastern part of the Dream Sword Country and the Lijian Country, triggering the first Dream Sword Country Kuroshio in the coming year, which is also the fastest warm current, and then gradually moves eastward.

It will bring many large schools of fish to the Dream Sword Country, and it is also hoped that the bandit suppression operation can win a warm spring.

For a long time, it has not been possible to eliminate the pirates, and their numbers are still growing, and one of the important reasons is that no one knows where they are hiding.

They are like a team of ghosts that come and go without a trace, and when they have snatched something, they disappear into the sea.

Moreover, these pirates have always been extremely cunning, never fighting the navy head-on, as long as they learn of the navy's movements, they will flee from the wind.

It is also strange to say, the speed of their ships and the reconnaissance distance are higher than the navy of the Dream Sword Country, often before the navy arrives, they have already retreated, and it is difficult to find traces when they chase after them at sea.

Cao Junrong's first task was to find out the other party's den, and then send it to Zhou Sumeng, the governor of the capital.

However, these pirates are very vigilant, and when they go to sea, except for the helmsman and some cronies, they will blindfold the rest of them and lock them in the cabin, and the same is true when they return to the sea, so as to prevent some of them from being exposed because they remember the location of the island.

As soon as he returned to the island, he took away everyone's Qiankun mirror, and stipulated that everyone must travel in more than three people, supervise each other, eat, drink, and sleep, and must be accompanied by someone, otherwise they will be killed if they find a lone person.

Cao Junrong experienced more than a year of inhuman life, and with his ability and [loyalty], he finally won the trust of the leader.

Last month, after Long Yaotian successfully absorbed the pirates from Shuoyue Island north of the Sword Kingdom, the size of the ships was expanded to 20, but he was not worried about the new pirates, so he urgently needed his cronies to take the helm.

Cao Junrong was given the power to drive a ship for the first time.

A relieved smile appeared on his face, and it wasn't until he followed Long Yaotian back today that he had finally figured out the location of the [hometown] of this group of pirates.

No wonder I couldn't find this island before-

There is a thick layer of sea fog around this island all year round, and the land range of the island is very limited, if it is not for Long Yaotian, it is impossible to find this disappearing island.
