Chapter 32: Wonders of the Sea
As for the pirates of the Howling Pirates who stayed behind in Singapore's lair, there were still nearly a thousand of them.
However, as the senior veteran of the Howling Wind Pirate Regiment, Senior Officer Li Yan is also very aware of the combat effectiveness of these pirates, and only those pirate warriors sent out to the sea to plunder are the elite members of the Howling Wind Pirate Regiment.
Like these pirates who stayed behind in their lair, their strength was also at the bottom of the team, in addition to the fact that the number seemed quite spectacular, the actual combat effectiveness was lackluster.
In addition, as a local snake in Singapore, Li Yan's first mate also has good connections in the Howling Wind Pirate Group, of course, if the Shao Feng Pirate King is not dead, then his connections are naturally like white clouds in the sky.
But the situation is very different now.
Subsequently, when First Officer Li Yan came to Singapore with the body of Shao Feng's pirate king and more than a dozen warship pirate flags, those pirate warriors who stayed behind also exclaimed in disbelief when they saw this scene.
Although they were also very reluctant to believe what Li Yan's first mate said, the Shao Feng Pirate King and the elite pirate fleet under his command had been destroyed by Ye Feng.
But in the face of this ironclad fact, they can't be allowed not to believe it.
Pirates are pirates, and they don't have any loyalty, and for pirates who are used to the jungle, surrendering to stronger pirates can be said to be their instinct.
Therefore, under the threat of Li Yan's first mate, most of the pirates directly announced their surrender on the spot, and as for the small number of pirate warriors who were loyal to Shao Feng, they were also easily slaughtered in front of the elite pirate warriors sent by Li Yan.
You must know that these pirates, as the elites he carefully selected, are no less effective than the core elite pirates in the Howling Wind Pirate Group, and Li Yan's first mate has armed the plot equipment given by Ye Feng.
Although most of the equipment rewarded by Yefeng is only of the white rank, there is also the advantage of a large number of them, that is, they can instantly strengthen a group of henchmen.
And although these plot equipment are only white-grade, for the plot pirate warriors whose overall attributes are not very high, even if they are only white-grade equipment, they can have an immediate effect on their combat effectiveness.
Therefore, after a while, this small half of the die-hard pirates were also quickly killed by the elite henchmen sent by Li Yan's first mate.
Then, under his leadership, the remaining pirate warriors also roared and rushed towards the interior of the island, and their purpose was naturally to plunder this place.
It is worth mentioning that at the forefront are the pirate warriors who originally belonged to the Howling Wind Pirate Regiment, for them, Singapore is their old nest, so they are naturally familiar with the local snakes.
But this is also a very normal thing, after all, pirates are a bunch of bastards, scumbags, hooligans and robbers, and justice and kindness are completely irrelevant qualities for most pirates.
At this time, the bored night forwards also walked into the island of Singapore.
Compared with the very modern city of Singapore, the current Singapore is extremely backward, dirty and messy is the true portrayal of here, most of the buildings on the island are made of wood, and the buildings of pure stone can almost be said to be none.
And because it is an island, the people here usually eat mainly seafood, and each household can be said to have a small sampan or the like, which is used as a tool for going out to sea to fish.
Of course, it is naturally impossible for a small sampan like them to go to the deep sea, after all, a wave is enough to overturn such a small sampan in an instant.
It is worth mentioning that because this is not the era of large-scale fishing in later generations, humans on this island can catch enough fish and shrimp near the island almost every day.
However, as a result, the whole town is also filled with a strong fishy smell.
This strong smell is naturally nothing to the people of the island, who are used to it.
However, for Yefeng, this strong fishy smell almost made them cover their noses and run away.
Fortunately, human beings themselves have a strong adaptability to smells, as if you enter a toilet that has not been cleaned for a long time, and you will stink so much that you almost suffocate at the beginning of it, but after a while, you will feel that the smell is not so strong, which is your body automatically adjusting.
It is worth mentioning that this town is full of very rich oriental clear, wooden tenement inns, if it weren't for Ye Feng knowing that this is just Singapore, then he would have thought he had come to the East.
Especially those familiar red lanterns, only Easterners will use such paper lanterns, like Westerners, they are generally used to using oil lamps and the like.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the tavern, the most of the buildings here are bathhouses with oriental characteristics, and of course, the bathhouses of this era can not only relax the mind, but also have the function of relaxing the body.
After all, there is no law in this era that prevents the appearance of a girl in the bathhouse.
It's just that this town is small enough, and they haven't been around for long, and they have almost finished shopping, and after seeing that there is nothing to visit, they also went straight back to the Sea Dragon.
After all, after staying in this fishy place for a long time, I will soon miss the fresh sea breeze.
After more than an hour of looting, First Officer Li Yan also carried dozens of huge wooden boxes to the deck of the Sea Dragon, and after opening these wooden boxes, he saw that they were also full of dazzling gold coins.
According to Li Yan, each wooden box here weighs tens of thousands of pounds, which means that dozens of wooden boxes here are hundreds of thousands of pounds of gold coins.
And this is also most of the property of the Howling Wind Pirate Group, maybe for an individual, hundreds of thousands of pounds of gold coins is a very huge amount, but for a Pirate King force with dozens of warships and thousands of centaurs, hundreds of thousands of pounds of gold coin wealth is really nothing.
Therefore, with the treasure accumulated by the Pirate King looted every year, let alone hundreds of thousands of pounds of gold, it is not impossible to multiply it tenfold.
It's just that you have to know that the treasure looted by the pirate group also has to be distributed to the pirates under it, after all, there is no money, where are the pirates willing to carry their heads to sell your life?
Moreover, repairing warships, replenishing artillery and other weapons and materials also cost money, and these money are all paid by the pirate king.
Therefore, in fact, among these hundreds of thousands of pounds of gold coins, not all of them really belong to Shao Feng's Pirate King, so in fact, the boss is not so easy to be.
Of course, Ye Feng also knew very well in his heart that the pirates sent out to loot must have hidden treasures himself, like the ambitious First Officer Li Yan, who must have secretly hidden at least tens of thousands of pounds of wealth.
But he didn't care about this at all, after all, these riches might not be as affordable as a few hundred universal points for him.
After all, no matter how much wealth there is, it can't be taken out of this mission world, let alone directly sold to space to convert into universal points.
At the same time, after successfully retrieving the corpses of Huskar and other heroic warriors, Nightfeng was naturally ready to set sail for Shipwreck Bay, after all, the pirate conference was held there.
And if possible, he also hopes to grab as many Pirate King tokens as possible before the Pirate Tournament.
Therefore, there is not enough time.
Subsequently, Ye Feng also questioned Li Yan's first mate, asking him if he would like to go with Ye Feng to Shipwreck Bay, where the pirate conference was about to be held.
In this regard, Li Yan's first mate only hesitated for a moment and then refused.
In this regard, Ye Feng also kept his promise to let him stay and become the new master of Singapore, and he was also allowed to keep his henchmen, after all, Commander Light Pole could not dominate Singapore.
In addition to these hundreds of pirate sailors, he also kept more than a dozen warships below rank III, after all, these warships sailed with the fleet, which would only slow down the fleet, and in the event of a battle, these vulnerable warships were also the most vulnerable to sinking.
Anyway, even if he stays here, these warships still belong to him, and here, it is safer.
Of course, this is only temporary, once Li Yan's first mate has a different heart, then these warships will also change their names at any time, but I believe that as long as Ye Feng has not left this mission world, the other party will not dare to have such a different heart at all.
And more than 100 elite pirates plus a few hundred low-end pirates are enough to rule the island of Singapore, and I believe that with the ambition and ability of Li Yan's first mate, with the treasure he didn't have, it is enough to recruit a certain number of pirates to expand his power.
After asking Senior Officer Li Yan to send over a few navigators who knew how to get to the chart of Shipwreck Bay, Ye Feng also led a powerful fleet composed of thousands of pirates and more than a dozen warships above level II to sail in the direction of Shipwreck Bay.
According to the pilot's prediction, it will take at least more than a week to sail from Singapore to Shipwreck Bay, even if it is smooth, and if there is a big storm on the way, then there will be a delay.
For this reason, Night Edge also had to replace the title of Silver Rank: Dragon Slayer Warrior with the title of Bronze-level Pirate King, because after equipping this title, the speed of the fleet under his command can be increased by 30%.
This means that the fleet can travel a full 30% faster than originally anticipated.
I saw that under the 30% movement speed bonus of his pirate king, the entire fleet was also sailing on the sea at an astonishing speed, and the sharp hull directly tore the sea apart, and at the back of the fleet, long white lines were pulled out, stretching above the sea level.
It is worth mentioning that at this time, those pirates couldn't help but wonder why the battleship was able to drive much faster than usual without a tailwind.
And in the next few days, like commanding the fleet sailing, Night Edge is also given full authority to the Terminator and the clone, anyway, these two guys can work 24 hours a day without rest, and the level of intelligence is not much lower than him.
As for the night forward, they are working hard to practice the proficiency of their skills and so on, and he also finds time to paint every day whenever he is free, although the probability of a flash of inspiration is not very high, but he can't stand the number of paintings.
With hard work, I finally increased the proficiency of the magic scroll manufacturing skill to the level of 6,951,000!
With just over 300 points of proficiency, he can raise this skill to the critical LV4 level, and at that time, with the additional success rate of the LV4 bonus, he can finally start using this skill to make money.
And during the voyage in the past few days, nothing happened, neither a storm nor a sea monster attack.
However, what made him feel quite depressed was that, in the same way, in the past few days, he hadn't even seen a merchant ship, a pirate ship, or the like, which made him a little helpless when he wanted to complete the title of Pirate Emperor.
After all, he can only use force to capture merchant ships and the like, and capture merchant ships and sailors on board.
However, although there was no battle in the past few days, there was a spectacle that appeared on the sea.
As far as the eye can see, on the original blue sea, there is a large continuous green grassland, the amber sun is warm and soft, and the blue grass spreads out a green silk-like carpet, which is very beautiful, and people's mood can't help but become happy.
However, unlike the Night Blade, who was happy because of their ignorance, the pirate sailors who had been begging for a living at sea for many years had a very bad heart when they saw this grassland.
Because at this sea where the general depth is several thousand meters, it is naturally impossible for the so-called grasslands to appear.
In fact, the essence of this grassland is composed of a large number of seaweeds, sargassum, which are driven by the sea breeze and waves, and drift around the sea.
However, they are very large, often covering hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, so at this time, ships often have to go around in a large circle to avoid this maritime grassland.
Because once the battleship sails in, then these sargassums will be tightly wrapped around the hull, and there is naturally no problem with a little sargassum, but with the continuous navigation of the ship, there are more and more sargassums wrapped around the battleship.
It's like a chopstick that is easy to break, but a pair of chopsticks is hard to break.
Therefore, in such a situation, even if it is in a tailwind state, coupled with the vigorous rowing of the oarsman, the battleship will consume at least several times more time than usual, and at least a few extra days of time will be wasted here in this sea grassland.
Therefore, at this time, most ships will deliberately avoid the grassland when they encounter such a situation, although this will still waste some time, but at least it will be much less time than sailing into the maritime grassland.
For sailors who have limited supplies at sea, a waste of extra time is a waste of life, so when they see this maritime grassland, they will naturally not be happy.
