Chapter 329: Discordant Voices
In the course of ten days, the pirates killed and injured many sea tribes through magical depth charges, and the corresponding consumption of bombs was also very serious. In the previous battle of Shadow Island, the Sea Clan was gathered together at the bottom of the sea because of its inexperience, so more than 5,000 bombs caused about 10,000 losses to the Sea Clan.
In the scattered battles that followed for nearly a month, the Sea Clan obviously learned the previous lesson, and paid great attention to adjusting their positions in the battle with the pirates, and the formation was also loosely placed. Therefore, it has killed and injured more than 5,000 Sea Clans, but it has consumed nearly 20,000 magical depth charges from the Shadow Island Organization.
At this time, Yu Fei also gradually saw the reason why the Sea Clan, or Queen Azhara, fought such a scattered war of attrition with the Shadow Island organization regardless of damage.
After all, the Shadow Island Organization is just a pirate organization, and there is no particularly tight organization, and the relationship between the pirate groups is not clear. Magical depth charges and magic mines are something that those small and medium-sized pirates will definitely not make, and only those who participate in the Shadow Island Council have the ability to make them.
However, the cost of such magical creations is not low. Although the council will not trade with the pirates below in the form of sales, the raw materials for making bombs and mines, magic crystals and some magic metals, naturally cannot only be burdened by the pirates in the council.
In the beginning, the Council collected materials from the small and medium-sized pirates underneath, and then distributed the magical depth charges and magical mines that had been made and stored on the Shadow Island to the pirates below. At the same time, pirate craftsmen on the Isle of Shadows use the materials they collect to craft these two weapons.
Of course, the speed at which pirate craftsmen can make things is far less than what the pirates consume. Although there is still a lot of storage on the Shadow Island. However, the higher-ups of the Shadow Island organization have discovered this hidden problem. So in the recent battles. The higher-ups have ordered the pirate fleet below to use bombs and mines sparingly.
But as I said earlier. After all, the Shadowisland Organization is only a relatively loose organization. The idea of defeating the Sea Clan and then establishing a country governed by pirates was still too far away for the pirates in the middle and lower classes.
The middle and lower class pirates see more immediate benefits. When we first organized the seizure of the manufacturing materials for the manufacture of magic depth charges and magic mines, everyone was very cooperative, and when they received the "high-end" weapons that they had never seen before, they were also elated.
However, nearly a month later, a large amount of materials were confiscated by the higher-ups, and weapons were used to fight the Sea Clan. The most rear. The middle and lower pirates found that they had given in nothing that could be converted into gold through the pirates' own channels, but they had received nothing.
Of course, it can't be said that nothing has been obtained. In the process of fighting the Sea Clan, the pirates can occasionally capture some injured or stunned Sea Clans, but most of them are low-level Sea Clans, and the main forces of the Sea Clans are relatively few, let alone shark warriors and the like.
The pirates were initially very interested in the captive Sea Clans, as the higher-ups told them that they could be tamed. I became one of the pirates. Indeed, there are many low-level sea clans that have been tamed, which has excited those pirate groups with sea clan troops for a while.
But after that. The pirates found that the combat effectiveness of the low-level sea tribes was similar to that of the stronger pirates, but they were more flexible in the water. At most, it can be used to investigate the situation on the seabed, and it is just a sea tribe or sea beast that can be used to detect the attack on the seabed earlier than liquid fluoroscopy.
And the main forces of the Sea Clan, such as the Tuna Man and the Barracuda Man, are very difficult to tame. Speaking of which, the pirates are still very interested in these sea tribes, because they are much better than the "water ghosts" among the pirates in terms of strength and "technique".
"Water Ghosts" is another name for the pirates in a pirate group who dive into the water to dig through the bottom of the enemy's ship and even touch the enemy ship to destroy it, and because of the advantages of race and size, it is much easier for the Tuna Man and Barke Man to do these things than the "Water Ghost" who is a human.
You must know that when the Ludao Sea Clan first appeared in this area, the attacked ships were often scuttled by the tuna people. If it weren't for the fact that the pirates had magicians observing with liquid perspective, and that they had magic depth charges and magic mines to prevent the Sea Clan from approaching and causing damage, they would have no problem with the Sea Clan's method of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle.
But the problem is that until a month has passed, except for those middle-level sea clans that Yu Fei has hypnotized, none of the other captured middle-level sea clans have been tamed successfully. However, some pirates suggested that animal tamers might be able to tame these sea clans more easily, but the profession of beast tamer was already scarce in the Eslaze Continent, and there was no one among the pirates, so naturally there was no way to take these captured intermediate sea clans.
After paying a lot of magic crystals and magic materials, what he got was a small number of low-level sea tribes who could only be used as scouts in the sea, and some dissatisfied voices gradually arose among the middle and lower pirates.
There is nothing the Shadow Island organization can do about this phenomenon, after all, they have set long-term goals, and the middle and lower level pirates are more concerned about their own interests. Moreover, the parliament is also very distressed about the difficulty of domesticating the middle-level sea tribe.
Eventually, everyone thought that the opinion on this aspect was first put forward by the Fourth Speaker Yorick, and that only the mid-level sea tribes captured by Yorick in the initial operation were successfully tamed, so they pushed the problem to Yorick's side.
Yu Fei saw that this was not good, the pirates could not work, and even the middle and lower pirates had a tendency to strike. In this way, how can he weaken the strength of the Sea Clan and finally subdue the Sea Clan and the Naga Clan as planned in the script? So I had to propose a solution to the parliament.
Although the profession of pirate is not so glamorous, for various reasons, although there are relatively few magicians among pirates, there are still some. The method proposed by Yu Fei is to let the pirate magician sign the intermediate sea clan as his magic partner, so as to achieve the purpose of using the abilities of these intermediate sea clans.
This method is still somewhat useful, as the number of mages among the pirates is much higher than the captured mid-level sea clans - and in any case, all the pirates in the northern and eastern seas of Ezlaze. After taming the mid-level sea clan in this way, the complaints of the mid-to-lower-level pirates were much smaller. (To be continued......)
