The Crystal arrived at the agreed place with four ships. This is near a coral reef with a wide view of the surroundings, so you don't have to worry about sneak attacks from the sea.

Flags are hoisted and hunted in the sea breeze, and the flag depicts a mermaid holding a crystal ball, with the deep blue sea beckoning a terrifying tsunami in the background.

This banner was made by craftsmen according to Flo's idea, and there is only one yet. Yuan Mu saw it at first glance and found that the flag was Flo, and the tsunami should have been Flo who thought of Ivola's skills.

The flag was designed to be quite imposing, and by hanging the flag behind the Crystal, the morale of the troops on the fleet increased a little.

Even if the flag is not good-looking, Yuan Mu will obediently hang the flag on the Crystal. Flo painted herself, and of course Yuan Mu could only applaud, which was not a big problem.

Pirates recruited in the pirate camp fill the ship's crew, and they cannot be counted as pirates either. A pirate is just an identity, not a class name.

The Crystal is now the acting captain of Gnison, and there are more than half a squadron of troops on board, and the troops are under the command of Yuan Mu.

The captain of the three-masted galleon was Boer, and there were 4 squads of troops on board, and the commander of the troops was Tausno.

A Level 3 transport ship can transport 6 squads of troops, as well as a crew of 1 multi-squad, compared to 3 squads on a transport ship. The ship had no weapons and could only engage in broadside battles.

Some troops were also assigned to the two frigates, and near these ships there was also half a squadron of Aquarium troops.

"My lord, a ship is coming." Delia reminded from the lookout.

In the distance, three black dots appeared. The black dots got closer and closer, revealing the appearance of ships, one of which was a Rank 3 Sharp Horn Battleship, and the other two were Rank 2 assault ships. In the sea near the boats, there are also some aquarium troops swimming over.

The three ships stopped near Yuan Mu's boat, and none of them had flags on board.

The Lobster Man Elite Slipshell came to the Crystal from the Sharp Horn Warship and said to Yuan Mu: "I have brought half a squadron of pirate troops and several squads of aquarium troops, they are all under my management, and I will cooperate with you." ”

Yuan Mu didn't see the turtle people elite, and he didn't know where he went. After checking the troops brought by the crust, he found that the Aqua troops were all obtained from the neutral tribes in this sea, and the pirates were also recruited from the pirate camp, making it impossible to see the way.

Since the group where the turtle people elite and the slippery shell belong want to defeat Ao Shell Village, there must be a place where they can fix the supply troops, and Yuan Mu guesses that some cities may have joined forces with them a long time ago.

It's just that they are very cautious and don't give Yuan Mu a chance to investigate, and they don't let the news reach the ears of Ao Shell Village.

Yuan Mu asked, "You went to spread the news that the strength of the red-haired pirates would increase greatly, how was the effect?" ”

"As we expected," Slipshell scoffed, "although some cities have urged Aoke Village to send a fleet to cruise, Aoke Village has no intention of establishing a maritime defense line together, and is still making every effort to develop the city. ”

"And what about the reaction of these cities?"

"They have no choice but to shrink the troops at sea back to the vicinity of the city, and most of them have already expressed their dissatisfaction with Aoke Village."

Yuan Mu nodded and said, "Then what we need to do now is to eliminate some of the red-haired pirates." If successful, it will certainly bring us a lot of prestige at this time, and we can also unite these cities. ”

Captain Viku took the main force of the red-haired pirates to the Pearl Sea, and the main ones left in this area were divided into two parts.

The part of the orc pirate heroes that Yuan Mu had already seen and was not strong, but they were originally used to explore and discover locations and missions to enhance the strength of the red-haired pirates.

There are also some red-haired pirates who are led by a level 4/2 walrus hero, who is stronger, and the Reef Sea Stream Sea Elemental Tribe quest is more difficult, and he is also completing it. But the strength of the red-haired pirates is mostly in the main force of Captain Viku.

"According to our information, after the orc pirate hero was defeated by you, he did not join the walrus hero and still explored the northern seas. But we don't get his place, we only know where the walrus hero is now. ”

"Then let's go and destroy the red-haired pirates led by the walrus heroes." Yuan Mu made a decision directly.

"Although we only have this option now, I would like to warn you that the Walrus may not be as strong as you, but the strength of the fleet is no worse than ours combined, and he has four Tier 3 combat ships under his command."

The slippery shell himself is also going to fight, and he doesn't want Yuan Mu to be defeated because of carelessness.

The strength of the fleet and the strength of the troops are not the same. At this stage, naval operations mainly relied on ships, and aquarium troops, flight units, marksman units, and boarding units fought around ships.

If you want to dominate this sea area or have a place in this sea area, you need to have a strong enough fleet and combat forces around the fleet to form a navy in the future.

But even with a strong navy, it is not necessarily possible to break through the city, and the city has its own defenses. However, a strong navy can reduce the range of enemy city troops, so that they can only operate near cities, and the development of cities will become slow.

And the number of places you can control has increased dramatically. The ocean is still very large, and a serious search can always find a source of resources and troops.

So if it's just a coastal city guarding the coastline, it's okay for the navy to have a certain amount of power. But if you want to explore the seas and participate in the distribution of maritime power, a strong navy is a must.

As a pirate with no fixed base, the red-haired pirates have been working hard to develop their fleet, and their fleet is stronger than that of the most powerful city in this area, Ao Shell Village.

The aquarium troops in Aoke Village are stronger, but the low-level aquarium troops are not easy to sail in the ocean. The village could only rely on building a defensive line at sea to defend it, and unite the navies of other cities to drive away the red-haired pirates.

The village is located on a large island in the south of this sea, which is the richer part of the sea, and there are a number of islands and several cities in the area. Both the village and the cities built camps, lookouts, and outposts on nearby islands to control the surrounding seas.

Other cities isolated in the sea can only try to protect the resource points and buildings within the city's control, and the larger sea area is not able to control it.

Yuan Mu's fleet was still in its infancy, and although it was developing at full strength, it was still much worse than the fleet of the red-haired pirates and Ao Shell Village, and Yuan Mu also pinned his hopes on Flora's aquatic forces to defeat them.

In order to give full play to the current advantages of Yuan Mu's troops, they need to board the enemy ships in hand-to-hand combat. Yuan Mu defeated the orc pirate hero so quickly at the shipwreck because the ships on both sides were connected at that time.

Yuan Mu smiled mysteriously and said, "It's okay, we can ambush him." ”
