In an atmosphere of praise from all the staff, Yorick took the stage again and began to wrap up the ceremony.

"Please be quiet!" The sound of vindictiveness echoed throughout the island, and the people soon fell silent, listening to Yorick's voice.

Yorick looked around and stepped forward to begin the closing remarks of the founding ceremony. "Brothers pirates! From this day forward, I will call you my people. ”

"More than forty years ago, we were attacked at will by those kingdoms along the coast, and we were trembling to survive."

"More than thirty years ago, we came together to form the Shadow Isle Order, so that pirates would no longer be bullied by the military as they used to."

"Over the past three decades, our organization has grown and has taken control of almost every sea area where Eslaze's merchant ships sail."

"But that's not enough! We can't forget how the navies of those countries used to bully us; Even now, when we are struggling to make a living, we may be surrounded and suppressed by those self-proclaimed and righteous navies at any time. ”

"From today onwards, we have become more united, and we have formed our own country of our own. From this day forward, we are no longer pirates, we are the army of the Shadow Kingdom, and we will return the humiliation we have suffered in the past to those who now seem incomparably weak! ”

"Many people wonder why the opening ceremony divided the territories of each state, but did not clarify the boundaries of the entire kingdom."

"Now, I'm here to tell you. Where the ships of my Shadow Kingdom have reached, our territory is located! As long as our artillery fire can be vented, it will be our territory! ”

After shouting the last sentence. Yorick turned and walked away. But his last two words echoed on the island for a long time. Let all the pirates be silent for a long time. Then it became enthusiastic.

It wasn't until a few minutes after Yorick had left the platform that the entire Shadow Isle emerged from silence. The atmosphere on the island grew boiling again, and after a brief period of chaos, all the pirates on the Shadow Island began to shout in unison - "Long live the Shadow Kingdom!" Long live King Yorick! ”

The sound tide was higher and higher, resounding throughout the sea

The establishment of the Shadow Kingdom was not deliberately concealed, and after the return of some of the Chamber of Commerce personnel and human state spies who watched the ceremony, the news that the Shadow Island organization that was rampaging in the waters of Aislazze had become a kingdom quickly spread among the coastal countries.

The overwhelming majority of countries reacted to this news with fear and apprehension. Originally, the existence of the Shadow Island Organization was a great threat to some coastal countries whose naval strength was not strong enough. This makes it impossible for their foreign trade fleets to navigate, and even occasionally powerful pirate groups infest the ports.

Now that the pirates have all established a country, don't you want to hit your doorstep directly? Even those kingdoms with relatively strong navies were a little frightened in their hearts.

In the past, these countries with strong navies were in a posture of killing pirates, and even large pirate groups were difficult to resist when encountering the fleets of these countries.

But now that the Shadow Island organization has become the Shadow Kingdom, the various pirate groups that were originally organized by the Shadow Island have been reorganized into an army, and there has been an instant change between strength and weakness.

After all, the Shadow Island Organization is a huge force that runs rampant in some of the northern seas of Eslaze and the entire eastern seas, and if it is condensed into a force, it is very terrifying in the sea. If nothing else, after the statistics, it is only the ships that can be used in combat. The newly formed Shadow Kingdom will be able to come up with more than 15,000.

After removing the smaller or older ships, there are still more than 8,000 pirate ships that can be called warships. And even those kingdoms with strong navies. Each country will not have more than five hundred warships.

If the newly formed Shadow Kingdom chooses to go to war with those countries that have "bullied" them before, these countries really can't fight in terms of naval warfare.

The fears of these countries are not unfounded. With the purpose of weakening the strength of the human race, Yu Fei has already ordered Yorick to find a way to start a war with those human countries along the coast as soon as possible.

After a period of adjustments, the number of battleable ships in the Shadow Kingdom was finally determined at around seven thousand five hundred. It's not that there aren't more warships, but most of the low-level pirates have chosen to live a stable life, and only most of the members of the large and medium-sized pirates have been retained and transformed into the kingdom's navy.

In addition to the eight states that each allocated about 300 warships to the eight states close to the coastal countries as defense forces, there were more than 5,000 warships that the kingdom could mobilize in a unified manner.

These more than 5,000 warships were divided into ten fleets, each of which was as strong as the navies of the most powerful human countries.

Of the ten fleets, except for the three Shadow Islands where the Gongwei King was located, the other seven had already been dispatched out of the city.

Originally, Yorick was going to send 5,000 warships to start invading the coast of the Eslaze continent according to Yu Fei's orders. However, those pirates who were not controlled by Yu Fei did not know that the Dao Sea Clan had actually reached a cooperation intention with Yu Fei behind the Shadow Kingdom, so they agreed that they should leave enough defense power for Shadow Island.

The first target of the Shadow Kingdom was the Debehi Kingdom, which allowed the Iron Anchor Pirates to become one of the four major pirates organized by the Shadow Isles. Originally, it was by destroying the prosperous port of Earls in the Kingdom of Thebehi that Yorick was crowned as the fourth pirate king.

The Kingdom of Thebehi is one of the most powerful countries in the eastern seas of the continent of Eslazze. In the past, they were also one of the countries most enthusiastic about fighting piracy. Of all the coastal nations in the eastern seas, their fleets are the most patrolling, and they often even send navies to escort passing caravans, leaving pirates at a loss.

Now, it's time for the pirates to take revenge. The Kingdom of Thebehi originally had five fleets and more than 500 warships. In the Battle of Earls Harbor, the Iron Anchor Pirates sank and captured dozens of ships, and now there are less than 500 warships in the entire country.

The Shadow Kingdom sent two fleets to attack the Thebehi Kingdom, including the fleet of the Iron Anchor Pirates. It didn't take much effort to clear out the two fleets of the Thebehi Kingdom, and the entire sea area of the Thebehi Kingdom was blocked by the Shadow Kingdom.

If it weren't for the fact that the Kingdom of Thebezi also had a large number of magical mines, the two pirate fleets would even want to capture and destroy every port in the Kingdom of Thebes.

After turning the Kingdom of Thebehi into a turtle, the Kingdom of Shadows left only a fleet in the waters of the Kingdom of Thebezi for blockade. The other fleet, which includes the Iron Anchor Pirates, is heading for the seas of other countries or a new conquest.

The Shadow Kingdom sent a total of seven fleets to fight against each other, and in half a month, they had beaten the three kingdoms with the strongest navy in the eastern waters of Eslaze. Other maritime forces are not as strong as these three countries, and they are even more invincible.

In the space of half a month, the Shadow Kingdom has blocked almost all the ports of the human countries in the eastern seas of Eslaze, and every route has been forced to be interrupted. The merchant ships of every country could not leave the port, and everyone was in a hurry.

For merchants, every day that goods are stranded in port can cause great losses. Chambers of commerce in these countries have put pressure on their countries to solve the problem. However, strength is a hard wound, and no country can defeat the Shadow Kingdom at sea.

There is no way, this is the key issue, although most of the coastal countries have navies, but the concept of the sea is only convenient for transportation. Eslazze's long-standing tradition has kept the military development of human nations on land. Even if these coastal nations that have been "oppressed" by the Shadow Kingdom are united, they are less powerful than the Shadow Kingdom at sea.

What's more, most of these countries are neighboring countries, how can there be no contradictions, big and small, and it is not easy to join forces.

And just when the rulers and merchants of the coastal countries were worried, the Shadow Kingdom delivered a message to them.
