The power of the catapult is indeed not to be underestimated, at least more than 300 pirates were killed by the roaring stones, the catapult can be described as a great weapon in naval warfare!

But it is not omnipotent, the main flaw is the lack of staying power, take a large warship as an example, the cabin of a hundred basin-sized stones, is already the limit.

If in a large-scale naval battle, catapults still have an irreplaceable huge role, and its lethality is only secondary, the key is to be able to deter the enemy fiercely!

This time, more than 700 enemies were annihilated, and more than 200 pirates who fell into the water were captured.

And the pirate's five transport ships basically didn't escape far, Ye Feng easily caught up, and easily took down the five high-level transport ships, after all, they lost their escort power, and they didn't pose any threat to Ye Feng.

Then it's time to receive the loot......

Ye Feng was slightly excited in his heart, the loot in the warehouse in Xiyu Village a few days ago was simply too rich, proving that these pirate forces were very rich, and he immediately boarded the first transport ship without hesitation.

"Empty?"

But the result surprised him, the cabin of the transport ship was empty, there was nothing, and he was a little confused for a while, could it be that Li Qi's guess was wrong, this was not a caravan?

With such a question, he boarded the second, third, and fourth ships, and the result was the same, empty, he couldn't help but turn black, what did the pirate forces on Giant Fire Island want to do, and actually made a bunch of empty ships to set sail.

And just as he stepped into the last transport ship, a long list suddenly popped up in front of him!

――――System prompt: Congratulations on obtaining [2,500 animal skins, 60,000 herbs, 742 treasures, 326 nine-grade animal skins, 147 eight-grade animal skins, 2,400 nine-grade herbs, 900 eight-grade herbs, 300 ninth-class treasures, and 147 eighth-class treasures]

Walking into the cabin, it was really full of goods, Ye Feng suddenly smiled from ear to ear, and gradually realized that eighty percent of the pirate forces wanted to exchange these goods for food and money, so the four transport ships in front were empty, and it was estimated that they were used to load grain......

Soon after, he summoned Li Qi and expressed the doubts in his heart: "The pirates on the island of great fire, where did they get so many herbs? ”

There is no doubt that this batch of loot is very rich, and a large number of animal skins are exactly what Ye Feng urgently needs, which can be used to make special scrolls, and what really surprised him was those thousands of herbs, only 60,000 ordinary herbs, he hadn't taken it to heart, but the number of key ninth-grade and eighth-grade herbs had reached thousands!

What this meant, Ye Feng knew very well in his heart......

Li Qi frowned and said: "My subordinates in this regard are not very clear, but I heard that there is a way to make money on Giant Fire Island, and a large number of precious herbs will be produced every once in a while, and these precious herbs can usually be sold at a good price, and they can make a lot of money...... Don't look at the fact that there are only more than 5,000 of them, but they are the most well-equipped of the three groups of pirates, and even the strongest Black Rock Island pirate force is very afraid of them. ”

Hearing Li Qi's answer, Ye Feng's guess in his heart was also confirmed, there must be many high-quality herbs on the Giant Fire Island, but just like this, it is not enough to mass-produce, there must be a high-grade medicine farmer, transplant high-quality herbs into the medicine garden for cultivation, and only then can there be a continuous production.

This also made Ye Feng look forward to it even more!

……

More than 2,000 soldiers successfully landed on the island of giant fire, walked through a lush dense forest, and cleanly eliminated two patrols composed of dozens of pirates along the way.

He estimated that the number of pirates remaining on the island was probably less than four thousand, only nearly twice the number of enemies, and he hadn't taken it into account yet, with the advantage of the high-ranking rank of the Maple Leaf Town's soldiers, there was no difficulty in this battle.

Half an hour later......

"Enemy attack!"

There was an earth-shattering roar ahead, and a dense crowd of pirates rushed over in an orderly manner, and the pirates of thousands of people looked like a tide at a glance, and the scene was very noisy.

"Shoot the arrows!"

As soon as Ye Feng gave the order, a dense rain of arrows flew out, frantically harvesting the lives of pirates, just in the blink of an eye, fifty or sixty pirates fell in front of him, but for thousands of pirates, this was just a drop in the bucket......

The fierce battle officially began, and it entered the hand-to-hand combat stage.

After all, pirates are not regular soldiers, and there is no discipline in the battle, and they fell into chaos at the beginning, fighting separately, while the soldiers of Maple Leaf Town seem to be in order, and each special general leads a different number of soldiers, coordinating with each other to kill one pirate after another.

For a while, the morale of the soldiers of Maple Leaf Town was like a rainbow, and they kept shouting.

The pirates who occupied the numerical advantage also gradually showed signs of rout at this time, and the soldiers of Maple Leaf Town lost their armor and dismounted their armor, and in just a quarter of an hour, nearly a thousand pirates fell, turning into a stone with no temperature, and the number of casualties is still increasing!

……

The battle lasted for more than an hour, the pirate forces with heavy casualties chose to resist stubbornly, and when more than 3,000 people were killed, the heavy shadow of death permeated the entire battlefield, and the surviving 700 pirates showed deep fear, and the elite soldiers of Maple Leaf Town were as terrible as the Grim Reaper who specialized in harvesting their lives in their eyes.

Ye Feng, who was frantically slaughtering pirates on the battlefield, also had some strangeness in his heart, he didn't expect that the pirates on Giant Fire Island would reach such a point, with heavy casualties and only one-fifth of the number left, they were still insisting on fighting, this is definitely not normal, when the pirates of Xiyu Island were exterminated a few days ago, surrender was much more simply than this.

――――System prompt: The pirates of the Giant Fire Island surrendered to you, do you accept it?

"Accept!"

Whoa......

More than 700 pirates gave up resistance, dropped their weapons one after another, and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and two special generals came to Ye Feng's side with a man who was stained with blood: "Tell the lord, this person is the leader of the pirates, and he is willing to submit to the lord!" ”

The pirate leader, who was seriously injured, looked very weak, with less air in and more breath, as if he would die at any time, Ye Feng took out a high-grade gold sore medicine from his backpack, handed it to one of the special generals, and instructed him to help the pirate leader heal his injuries, just now he took the time to check the attributes of the pirate leader, the other party's name is Zhao Jie, he is an S-level qualification NPC, because he has just surrendered and his loyalty is slightly lower, but this is not a big problem, and it will slowly rise in the future.

Being betrayed by an NPC rarely happens, unless the NPC is mistreated and loyalty falls below a critical point.

Of course, Ye Feng wouldn't abuse NPCs, so there was no need to worry.

After the battlefield was cleared, the casualties of Maple Leaf Town also came out, more than eighty people were wounded, and twelve regular fifth-order soldiers were killed in battle, this result was still within Ye Feng's bearing, mainly because the pirates of Giant Fire Island were slightly better equipped, which caused so many people to be injured and killed in battle.

After this battle, most of the soldiers looked a little tired, and a small number of them had a surge in physical strength.
